My Story

When I was 13 years old, I was diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome. I was put on synthetic progesterone, and later, birth control pills and was told that if I ever wanted to get pregnant, I would need IVF. I was never counseled on lifestyle changes or provided any other options.

After noticing that my symptoms decreased while following a paleo-ish diet, I decided to look into other options. It took years to finally successfully come off of birth control pills, and I am still continuously updating how I manage my PCOS based on the evolution of my body and hormones over time and based on current research. You can read more about my personal experiences with PCOS in my blog.

While trying to manage my PCOS holistically, I realized that there was a lack of help out there for women like me. My doctors were unable (and in one case, completely unwilling) to support my quest for holistic treatment. Fortunately for me, I have a strong background in research and statistical analysis, so I was able to dig into the scientific literature, and help myself. Not all women have this background.

That’s where this site and my services come in.

I have spent 13 years working as a professor at the University of Florida. I have won awards for my research, mentoring, and teaching. And now I’m putting those skills to work to help other women manage PCOS on their own terms.
