PCOS - A functional and natural approach to your individual PCOS pattern
Whether you are suffering from irregular or absent periods, acne and metabolic risk factors, you can explore an empowered approach to your cycle and symptoms with diet, lifestyle and natural medicine approach.
You don’t need to suffer any alone… TOGETHER, a community to help take the reins and help you regain hormonal harmony and vibrant health:
Being Told You Have A Life Sentence With Only One Option Isn't Working For you?
I hear you. Your hormonal symptoms can seem overwhelming. The thing is… it doesn’t have to be this way!
.
Not Loving the Birth Control Pill?
Let’s be honest. If contraception is priorité numéro un, then birth control may be your favourite option right now. No problem, I can even prescribe it! But for others, maybe you just don’t feel your best on the birth control pill, or you’d like to restore ovulation in advance of wanting babies, and you need another solution.
Babies on your Mind?
Having a regular period is kind of a big deal in the whole baby-making process, right? Not to mention that the drivers of PCOS (like inflammation and insulin resistance) also increase miscarriage risk. So let’s do this. We’ll optimize your fertility and staying pregnant odds.
Stuck In Metabolic Gridlock
Insulin resistance and inflammation are major drivers in most women with PCOS, so it’s no wonder weight gain is common. But don’t be overwhelmed by all the conflicting diet and food fads online! We’ll start with what’s proven and move on to more advanced strategies if you need them.
If you are nodding “YES” to any of the above, it’s time to get your body (and your hormones) back on track.

Hi, I’m Dr. Mélanie!
I get it because I’ve been there.
I, too, am a soul cyster, with a history of multiple cysts on my ovaries, stubborn acne that wouldn’t budge, and unpredictable periods for years. I know what it’s like to be in my mid-twenties and wondering about my future fertility, exhausted and stressed. But the crazy part?
I started implementing natural strategies as a student in naturopathic medical school, so by the time I saw a gynecologist, my periods had completely normalized.
I have since helped more than 1000 women (just like YOU!), since 2010, make sense of the hormonal madness and harness their hormones to get better periods, support their fertility, and feel like themselves again.
Would you believe me if I told you that it is absolutely possible to regulate your periods without the pill? That even with PCOS, you can have a period that just “sneaks up on you” after exactly a month of feeling balanced, energized, and massively productive?
It’s true. I see it in the women who I work with in my practice every day.
Let’s make that happen for you.
