Maryana Dvorsk is launching a new business – in her workout gear. In a new social media post the fitness influencer shows off her amazing body in a two-piece exercise set while making an exciting announcement. “This is absolutely a pinch me moment but a year or so ago two of my friends (who work in the medical field) and I were sitting down and talking about the lack of care when it comes to women’s health and what a dream it would be to find a way to change that. I am beyond excited to announce that I will be starting my health coaching again but this time with two incredibly smart women along my side,” she writes in the caption. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Maryana is a big advocate of hormone balancing, as she battles PCOS. One of the things she did to reverse her pcos symptoms and get her period back “naturally,” was “spending more time outside,” she said in a post. “After doing research I quickly realized that pcos is very driven by stress, and spending time in nature is one of the best way to reduce stress. I added at least one hike or a long beach walk a week (if I had a forest near that’d probably be my first option though). Going somewhere where I could be off my phone & feel grounded did wonders for my nervous system, and to this day I still incorporate hikes as a form of exercise at least once a week!”

One of the “simple changes” Maryana made for “healthy hormones” that “made a huge impact” for her was “switching from coffee first thing in the morning (& on an empty stomach I might add) to matcha with high fat & high quality almond milk with manuka honey & collagen powder,” she wrote in a post. “I find this to be way easier on my digestive system & energy levels throughout the day.”

Maryana maintains that “intuitive eating has changed my life after years of calorie/macro tracking and counting,” she said in a post. “I encourage everyone to try listening to their bodies this year. It knows what it needs and it’ll tell you if you give it a chance.” In the previous post she notes that “adding healthy fats” to all her meals “especially breakfast” has also been a game changer. “If I start my day off with a hearty meal it stabilizes my blood sugar throughout the day which helps with hormone regulation, cravings, and energy.”

Before being diagnosed with PCOS, Maryana “was doing intense bodybuilding style training: heavy weights, progressive overload, etc.” but has since transitioned to Pilates. “I was not giving my body nearly enough time that it needed to recover, and in my case I knew I needed to make major shifts to help with recovery and needed to step away from the gym for a while, but I also wanted to continue challenging myself, which is where reformer pilates came in,” she reveals in a post. “Don’t get me wrong, I think weight lifting is a great form of exercise, but adequate rest is SO important when it comes to recovery, so if you’re gonna choose this type of training I’d recommend two full rest days a week minimum for those who are struggling with their hormones 🤍how I knew I was chronically inflamed: I was always sore and my muscles never felt fully recovered, I felt “puffy” and retained a lot of water, my under eye bags never went away, trouble sleeping, digestive issues, and more.”

Maryana also understands the importance of hydration. According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is important for a variety of reasons. Water helps get rid of waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature normal, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.
