One of the most frequently asked questions I get from my PCOS clients is do I have to avoid coffee? 

Well here's the thing, researchers have found tremendous health benefits to consuming coffee for PCOS, like increased insulin sensitivity and reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease. But unfortunately, it can also have negative effects. When we drink coffee our cortisol and blood sugar levels rise. Now as a woman with PCOS, I need to manage these spikes in cortisol and blood sugar in order to maintain hormonal balance for my PCOS. I enjoy drinking a hot cup of coffee in the morning, so before going cold turkey and never drinking coffee again, I decided to see if there were other options. And that's where I came across Four Sigmatic mushroom coffee. It provides me with all the benefits of coffee, while also helping me prevent some of the downsides. It helps me manage my blood sugar levels and looks after my hormones.    So as you may have guessed, the main 'superfood' ingredient in Four Sigmatics coffee is mushrooms.    The mushroom coffee that I have been drinking regularly and enjoying thus far is the Ground Mushroom Coffee with Lion's Mane & Chaga. I drink this one in the morning because lions mane is known to help improve focus and brain function.    Four Sigmatic has lots of types of mushroom coffee to choose from. Why not try it out today.
