PCOS AWARENESS MONTH : PCOS Is a close cousin of type two diabetes and the main driver is insulin resistance, this means that the tissues are often less sensitive to the action of hormone insulin which means that your blood sugars tend to rise there are several ways in which you can make your tissues more sensitive. ✅ First, eat more whole plant foods focusing on beans and legumes intact whole grains fruits vegetables nuts and seeds ✅ Second, minimise or cutout foods containing saturated fat such as animal derived foods, ultra processed foods. This will make insulin resistance worse ✅ Third, move your body regularly any exercise will do but strength training is particularly helpful for making tissues more sensitive to the action of insulin ✅ Fourth, manage stress through any activity that you enjoy including Breath work, mindfulness and meditation. ✅ Fifth, focus on sleep so that your hormones balance out especially cortisol levels worsen insulin resistance ✅Read our book Living PCOS free coauthored with @rohinibajekal or visit my website for more free info linked in my bio. ✅ Also follow @fitnesswithkeisha @rohinibajekal @reversingt2d @akashvaghela as they are doing amazing work in this space.

Menopause muscle loss or sarcopenia and insulin resistance seen in PCOS both respond really well to strength training, building muscle and making our body more sensitive to the action of insulin- stabilising blood sugar levels. Try and lift weights or do body resistance exercises such as Pilates twice a week for 30 min, slowly building up.

COMMUNITY COOKING FOCUS ON MENOPAUSE PERIMENOPAUSE Had the most fulfilling and brilliant time talking to the community and teaching cooking for the charity organisation MADE IN HACKNEY. They are simply amazing with the brilliant work they do as a charity. So proud to be an ambassador for @madeinhackney Thank you to all the participants, to Rohinj @rohinibajekal for running the class with volunteers and to @ruddtara for the great pictures. Community work is a great way to feel a sense of purpose. Dr Nitu #communitycooking #charity #menopause #perimenopause #menopausetok #soy

Rest and Relax: Photo dump from a most wonderful holiday in Cyprus with our friends Daisy @daisykoizia and John at their beautiful home. Sun and Sand: I am sure I must have got my year’s supply of Vitamin D. A week of swimming in the sea, staying in the local village of Lofou, eating the most delicious local food, being invited in by the locals for tea and cake, reading books by the pool, inhaling the beautiful fragrance of flowers and marvelling at the abundance of fruits. I have so many pictures of the amazing food we ate that it deserves a separate post. So much of the food is vegan in Cyprus as they are used to fasting for Lent and for Christmas. We were returning after 25 years to Cyprus but will be back very soon💛💛💛 Have a lovely Sunday 💛 #cyprus #veganfood #sunshine #swimming #sunandsand #lofouvillage #beautifulcyprus #restandrelaxation #restandrelax #recharge

YOU KNOW YOUR BODY BEST Many of us have somehow lost the ability to listen to the cues our body gives us. We often ignore the signs that our physical body sends us throughout the day. The mind and the physical body are intimately connected. Our physical body maybe stressed, constipated, bloated, tired or weak. In the meanwhile, our brain is shouting ‘Slow down, it’s ok to take a day off, you don’t have to say yes to everything, you will not miss out if you turn your phone off for a few hours’. I too am guilty of often ignoring the signs my body says telling me I need to rest and recharge. I am getting better but still have a long way to go. 🛑 Constantly bombarded with noise and external stimuli, we have information overload, with everybody telling us what is right for us. The truth however is that nobody really cares for your body as much as you do and nobody else knows your body better than you do. 🌳 Taking some time to find stillness in your life can help you hear what your body is advising you and try follow that advice. ✔️ Don’t just assume your doctor or health professional always know what’s best for you. Certainly, take all the advice offered, but you if you feel uneasy with the decision, always consider a second opinion if there is time. Also, spend some time if you can reading up about your condition but only from scientific reliable health sources. A true health professional encourages questions and informed discussions from their patients. ❌ PLEASE DO NOT GET YOUR HEALTH ADVICE FROM SOCIAL MEDIA. Don’t believe everything you see on social media. Check the credibility of the source and if it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is. There are no quick fixes generally in life. 🙏🏽 Empower and educate yourself while taking the time to make simple small changes that nourish your body and mind. ♥️You may be surprised how much better you will feel when you start listening to your body. Do you agree with this? I would love to know👇🏽 Dr Nitu MD ObGyn 💛 #selfcare #selflove #drnitubajekal #youknowyourbody #empoweryourself #educateyourself #socialmedia

TOFU IS A GREAT ADDITION TO ALL DIETS, particularly for women’s health, those approaching menopause, Perimenopause, menopause and in conditions such as PCOS, Endometriosis and older people. A very good source of healthy plant protein, micronutrients, fibre and phytoestrogens I love tofu in all its forms as it is so versatile and absorbs any flavour you throw at it. Do you like tofu? Lots of recipes and info on soya in my free fact sheets linked in my bio on my website. Enjoy Dr Nitu MD ObGyn 💛 #drnitubajekal #tofu #tofurecipes #tofuscramble #soy #menopause #perimenopause #pcos #pcosawareness #endometriosis #protein #plantprotein #plantbased

🐶🐶🐶 In the last 25 years, we have had three pups as our family members (I find it hard to call them dogs whatever their age😀). I dislike the word pets tbh as it has connotations that make me very uncomfortable. 🐶 All three have been rescue pups as I was acutely aware of the horrors of puppy farms, and the illnesses and short lives of inbred pedigree dogs (Dalmatians - behavioural, German shepherds hip problems, dachshund back issues, bull dogs eye and breathing , greyhounds joints etc etc) 🐶 Also, 56000 pedigree dogs are abandoned just in the UK by people every year as they don’t realise the level of responsibility. So, it’s quite important to consider adopting a rescue dog who otherwise would get put down rather than paying a lot of money to unscrupulous breeder 🐶Adopt Don’t Shop where possible. There are plenty of puppies, including pedigree ones you can adopt from reputable places like Wild At Heart Foundation @wild_at_heart_foundation . Especially if you have young children. Dogs are like children, they respond wonderfully to love and being included. 🐶 Gontu was our first fur baby and he came to us as a unwanted puppy and lived just short of 17 years filling our lives with joy. A most wonderful boy. We lost him in 2014 🐶 Kappu was abandoned on the road as a tiny pup about six weeks more than 6 years ago (2016) and is a bundle of mischief and too cute for words. Spoilt completely as he came back from the jaws of death with parvovirus and was in intensive care for a week 🐶 Tippu is also 6 years and he came to us from Bosnia from the wonderful charity Wild At Heart Foundation, when he was a year old (2017). Such a loving beautiful pup, always wanting hugs. He was in a dog pound for months and his tail was cut off. 🐾 🐾Nothing calms me as much as walking in the woods with our boys, Kappu and Tippu. 🐶 🐷 🐮 I want to introduce you to a concept of speciesism, where we love one species such as a dog or cat but eat/ exploit pigs or wear cows. Dr Melanie Joy @drmelaniejoy @beyondcarnism is an expert on carnism and author of many books. Her ted talk is amazing. Dr Nitu 💛 #adoptdontshop #rescuepups #rescuedoogs #puppylove #livekindly

PCOS AWARENESS MONTH : PCOS Is a close cousin of type two diabetes and the main driver is insulin resistance, this means that the tissues are often less sensitive to the action of hormone insulin which means that your blood sugars tend to rise there are several ways in which you can make your tissues more sensitive. ✅ First, eat more whole plant foods focusing on beans and legumes intact whole grains fruits vegetables nuts and seeds ✅ Second, minimise or cutout foods containing saturated fat such as animal derived foods, ultra processed foods. This will make insulin resistance worse ✅ Third, move your body regularly any exercise will do but strength training is particularly helpful for making tissues more sensitive to the action of insulin ✅ Fourth, manage stress through any activity that you enjoy including Breath work, mindfulness and meditation. ✅ Fifth, focus on sleep so that your hormones balance out especially cortisol levels worsen insulin resistance ✅Read our book Living PCOS free coauthored with @rohinibajekal or visit my website for more free info linked in my bio. ✅ Also follow @fitnesswithkeisha @rohinibajekal @reversingt2d @akashvaghela as they are doing amazing work in this space.

Menopause muscle loss or sarcopenia and insulin resistance seen in PCOS both respond really well to strength training, building muscle and making our body more sensitive to the action of insulin- stabilising blood sugar levels. Try and lift weights or do body resistance exercises such as Pilates twice a week for 30 min, slowly building up.

Rest and Relax: Photo dump from a most wonderful holiday in Cyprus with our friends Daisy @daisykoizia and John at their beautiful home. Sun and Sand: I am sure I must have got my year’s supply of Vitamin D. A week of swimming in the sea, staying in the local village of Lofou, eating the most delicious local food, being invited in by the locals for tea and cake, reading books by the pool, inhaling the beautiful fragrance of flowers and marvelling at the abundance of fruits. I have so many pictures of the amazing food we ate that it deserves a separate post. So much of the food is vegan in Cyprus as they are used to fasting for Lent and for Christmas. We were returning after 25 years to Cyprus but will be back very soon💛💛💛 Have a lovely Sunday 💛 #cyprus #veganfood #sunshine #swimming #sunandsand #lofouvillage #beautifulcyprus #restandrelaxation #restandrelax #recharge

YOU KNOW YOUR BODY BEST Many of us have somehow lost the ability to listen to the cues our body gives us. We often ignore the signs that our physical body sends us throughout the day. The mind and the physical body are intimately connected. Our physical body maybe stressed, constipated, bloated, tired or weak. In the meanwhile, our brain is shouting ‘Slow down, it’s ok to take a day off, you don’t have to say yes to everything, you will not miss out if you turn your phone off for a few hours’. I too am guilty of often ignoring the signs my body says telling me I need to rest and recharge. I am getting better but still have a long way to go. 🛑 Constantly bombarded with noise and external stimuli, we have information overload, with everybody telling us what is right for us. The truth however is that nobody really cares for your body as much as you do and nobody else knows your body better than you do. 🌳 Taking some time to find stillness in your life can help you hear what your body is advising you and try follow that advice. ✔️ Don’t just assume your doctor or health professional always know what’s best for you. Certainly, take all the advice offered, but you if you feel uneasy with the decision, always consider a second opinion if there is time. Also, spend some time if you can reading up about your condition but only from scientific reliable health sources. A true health professional encourages questions and informed discussions from their patients. ❌ PLEASE DO NOT GET YOUR HEALTH ADVICE FROM SOCIAL MEDIA. Don’t believe everything you see on social media. Check the credibility of the source and if it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is. There are no quick fixes generally in life. 🙏🏽 Empower and educate yourself while taking the time to make simple small changes that nourish your body and mind. ♥️You may be surprised how much better you will feel when you start listening to your body. Do you agree with this? I would love to know👇🏽 Dr Nitu MD ObGyn 💛 #selfcare #selflove #drnitubajekal #youknowyourbody #empoweryourself #educateyourself #socialmedia

TOFU IS A GREAT ADDITION TO ALL DIETS, particularly for women’s health, those approaching menopause, Perimenopause, menopause and in conditions such as PCOS, Endometriosis and older people. A very good source of healthy plant protein, micronutrients, fibre and phytoestrogens I love tofu in all its forms as it is so versatile and absorbs any flavour you throw at it. Do you like tofu? Lots of recipes and info on soya in my free fact sheets linked in my bio on my website.

🐶🐶🐶 In the last 25 years, we have had three pups as our family members (I find it hard to call them dogs whatever their age😀). I dislike the word pets tbh as it has connotations that make me very uncomfortable. 🐶 All three have been rescue pups as I was acutely aware of the horrors of puppy farms, and the illnesses and short lives of inbred pedigree dogs (Dalmatians - behavioural, German shepherds hip problems, dachshund back issues, bull dogs eye and breathing , greyhounds joints etc etc) 🐶 Also, 56000 pedigree dogs are abandoned just in the UK by people every year as they don’t realise the level of responsibility. So, it’s quite important to consider adopting a rescue dog who otherwise would get put down rather than paying a lot of money to unscrupulous breeder 🐶Adopt Don’t Shop where possible. There are plenty of puppies, including pedigree ones you can adopt from reputable places like Wild At Heart Foundation @wild_at_heart_foundation . Especially if you have young children. Dogs are like children, they respond wonderfully to love and being included. 🐶 Gontu was our first fur baby and he came to us as a unwanted puppy and lived just short of 17 years filling our lives with joy. A most wonderful boy. We lost him in 2014 🐶 Kappu was abandoned on the road as a tiny pup about six weeks more than 6 years ago (2016) and is a bundle of mischief and too cute for words. Spoilt completely as he came back from the jaws of death with parvovirus and was in intensive care for a week 🐶 Tippu is also 6 years and he came to us from Bosnia from the wonderful charity Wild At Heart Foundation, when he was a year old (2017). Such a loving beautiful pup, always wanting hugs. He was in a dog pound for months and his tail was cut off. 🐾 🐾Nothing calms me as much as walking in the woods with our boys, Kappu and Tippu. 🐶 🐷 🐮 I want to introduce you to a concept of speciesism, where we love one species such as a dog or cat but eat/ exploit pigs or wear cows. Dr Melanie Joy @drmelaniejoy @beyondcarnism is an expert on carnism and author of many books. Her ted talk is amazing. Dr Nitu 💛 #adoptdontshop #rescuepups #rescuedoogs #puppylove #livekindly

Spoilt completely as he came back from the jaws of death with parvovirus and was in intensive care for a week 🐶 Tippu is also 6 years and he came to us from Bosnia from the wonderful charity Wild At Heart Foundation, when he was a year old (2017). Such a loving beautiful pup, always wanting hugs. He was in a dog pound for months and his tail was cut off. 🐾 🐾Nothing calms me as much as walking in the woods with our boys, Kappu and Tippu. 🐶 🐷 🐮 I want to introduce you to a concept of speciesism, where we love one species such as a dog or cat but eat/ exploit pigs or wear cows. Dr Melanie Joy @drmelaniejoy @beyondcarnism is an expert on carnism and author of many books. Her ted talk is amazing. Dr Nitu 💛 #adoptdontshop #rescuepups #rescuedoogs #puppylove #livekindly
