PCOS/PMOS
Hormone Nutrition Support
A Functional, Root-Cause Approach to PCOS — Now Renamed PMOS
In May 2026, PCOS was officially renamed PMOS (Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome) by the Endocrine Society — a change that better reflects how complex this condition is in regards to metabolic health and not just ovarian health. Since PCOS is still the more familiar name for most women, I'll still use this term.
Whether you call it PCOS or PMOS, an estimated 1 in 8 women of reproductive age are affected — yet up to 70% remain undiagnosed. Symptoms like irregular periods, acne, weight gain, fatigue, infertility, and unwanted hair growth are too often dismissed, overlooked, or blamed on stress and weight, leaving women without real answers for years.
As a Registered Dietitian (RDN, CD), I take a root-cause, whole-body approach to PCOS/PMOS that can involve:
-
Insulin resistance
-
Inflammation
-
Gut health imbalances
-
Elevated androgens
-
Nervous system dysregulation
-
High toxin burden
My goal is to help you understand what's actually driving your symptoms, then build a personalized plan — combining targeted nutrition, lifestyle strategies, and functional testing — that fits into real life.
I didn't just study this — I lived it.
I've dealt with thyroid disorder, adrenal-pattern PCOS, migraines, and digestive issues myself. I know what it's like to feel dismissed, confused, and exhausted trying to "do everything right" — and I know what it takes to rebuild your health in a real life, while managing a family, a career, and everything in between.
That's why this program isn't rigid, overwhelming, or one-size-fits-all. It's supportive, strategic, and built to meet you where you are.

Struggling with PCOS/PMOS Symptoms and Not Getting Real Answers?
This is exactly why I created the Foundations of Hormone Balance (FHB) Method — a step-by-step approach designed specifically for women with PCOS/PMOS who want real, personalized answers.
This isn't another generic meal plan or surface-level hormone program. The FHB Program combines:
✔ Functional nutrition — a root-cause approach
✔ Advanced hormone testing — so we stop guessing
✔ Lifestyle & nervous system support — because stress isn't optional to address
✔ Personalized guidance from a Registered Dietitian who's been in your shoes
This is where we connect the dots between your symptoms, your hormones, and your daily life.
Why Most PCOS Advice Falls Short
Most approaches to PCOS/PMOS focus on controlling symptoms, not addressing what's causing them. They overlook:
-
Your unique hormone patterns
-
The role of stress and your nervous system
-
How under-eating or over-exercising can backfire
-
Gut health and inflammation
The result is a cycle: Trying → Restricting → Burning out → Starting over
The Foundations of Hormone Balance (FHB) Program is built to break that cycle.
My Approach
1. Advanced Hormone Testing for PCOS/PMOS
A comprehensive hormone panel evaluates:
-
Estrogen metabolism
-
Progesterone levels
-
Androgen patterns (key for PCOS/PMOS)
-
Cortisol rhythm and stress response
-
Markers tied to energy, mood, and metabolism
This gives us a clear picture of what your body specifically needs.
2. Functional Nutrition Strategy
No extremes, no cutting out everything you love. You'll learn how to:
-
Adjust foods, meal timing, and recipes to support blood sugar and cortisol
-
Support ovulation and hormone balance
-
Reduce inflammation and toxin load
-
Nourish your metabolism instead of slowing it down
3. Lifestyle + Nervous System Support
You can't out-supplement chronic stress. We focus on realistic, sustainable habits:
-
Nervous system and stress regulation that fits a busy schedule
-
Sleep support that actually works
-
Exercise adjustments that support hormones instead of adding stress
4. Personalized Guidance + Support
You won't be left figuring this out alone. This is a high-touch program that includes:
-
1:1 nutrition consultations
-
A fully customized plan for diet, lifestyle, and supplements
-
Ongoing support through weekly Q&As
-
Access to a private community of women on the same journey
I never felt heard with doctors and would leave appointments disheartened. There would be no listening to those concerns or testing to find a cause. You helped me find so many answers to so many questions. I thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Your program and the information provided had such a huge impact on me and I am very grateful. It felt like I had a voice and it didn't matter how small or big of a question I had. I felt heard.
The holidays were not a struggle like they have been in the past with food and weight gain, and that is because of the techniques and lessons I learned from you. Thank you for everything!
