HI! I'M CHRISTINA
I'm a Naturopathic Doctor with a focus on PCOS. Having PCOS myself, I know how challenging it can be. The current standard of care for PCOS is really lacking, and I'm looking to change that.
I lived without a proper diagnosis until I was 28. If I had only known then what I know now! I've dedicated the last 10+ years to learning everything about PCOS, metabolism, and hormones so you don't have to. Putting everything I've learned into practice, it's no wonder I felt better at 38 than I did at 28!
Working together means taking a look at the main driver(s) of your PCOS symptoms and utilizing the tools of Naturopathic medicine such as nutrition and lifestyle changes, along with targeted supplementation, to help improve them. What this often looks like is improved metabolic health, weight loss, reduced sugar cravings, improved fertility and cycles, reduced unwanted hair growth, hair loss and acne, improved mood, increased energy, optimized circadian rhythms, and an increased resilience to stress.

MY PHILOSOPHY

 

Life is meant to be enjoyed, even if you have PCOS. Sure, making nutritional changes and reducing certain food groups will likely impact your health, but I’ll never ask you to give up something you love (at least not forever!). Education is a key part of the puzzle – I want you to understand why things affect you and your PCOS symptoms in the way that they do, so that if you are choosing something, it’s an informed decision, and not a blind choice. My focus is on building sustainable habits that last – not quick fixes or fad diets. Some pillars of my personal wellness philosophy are:

Nutrients > Calories

Eat whole foods

Move your body in a way that brings you joy & makes sense for you

Building muscle is the ultimate metabolism booster

Rest is crucial. Do not skip this step!

Mind your circadian rhythms

Figuring out a constructive way to deal with stress will have a ripple effect…because that stress impacts your PCOS symptoms more than you know!

Targeted supplementation can be VERY effective

Play the long game…focus on building habits
