Hi! I’m Meggie. A Registered Dietitian Nutritionist living with PCOS.
When I was diagnosed with PCOS, I was told “Here is some birth control and come back when you want to get pregnant.” Sound familiar?
I had no idea that the acne, excess hair growth, mood swings, INTENSE carb cravings, rapid weight gain and extreme fatigue were related to my PCOS. I was just told I might have trouble getting pregnant.
When I went back to school to become a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist is when I learned that nutrition played a major role in improving PCOS symptoms. I was both shocked and angry that no doctor had told me this.
So I dove into the research on nutrition and lifestyle factors for PCOS (I even completed my Master’s thesis on PCOS and diabetes risk) for two reasons. I wanted to know how to manage my own symptoms and I wanted to be able to share this knowledge with all individuals with PCOS.
Does having PCOS make you feel like this?
→ Like you have no control over your body
→Exhausted by 3pm each day.
→You start a new PCOS diet plan with excitement but after a few weeks you can no longer sustain it.
→Every time you lose weight on a diet, you end up gaining more back when you stop.
→Your relationship with food has suffered due to years of dieting.
→Nothing works to improve your PCOS symptoms and you feel defeated.
→Overwhelmed with the diagnosis and uncertain about what to do.
→You are tired of hearing “Just lost weight?” as a treatment for your PCOS?

Making an investment in yourself can be scary but…
So is staying in the same place. Year after year.
How many times have you started and stopped a diet?
How many times have you told yourself “I’ll start Monday”.
How long can you continue to deprive yourself of your favorite foods, then feel guilty when you eat them?
How long are you going to let PCOS control your life?
I learned to create sustainable diet changes.
I had been following really strict diets that weren’t sustainable and then I would end up bingeing. Through the program, I learned how to create a more sustainable diet change.
This program changed my life…
This program changed my life by changing my view point with food. I feel more confident now and love my body the way it is…. This program is a life changer as long as you push yourself and don’t give up. I loved challenging myself to try new foods. This program gets you out of your comfort zone in a good way.
I gained balance in my life.
I have gained BALANCE in life. I have fixed the unhealthy emotional dependence I had with food. Food is not “evil” anymore. I see food as fuel and can recognize my body’s needs much easier than before. I don’t feel as angry at PCOS as I was when I started this program. I was angry at how PCOS had affected my life and felt that it had robbed my future. Now I feel okay with PCOS. PCOS isn’t going anywhere, but I understand it and know how to help it, instead of fight it.

I’m pregnant! I’ve been trying for 3 years…
I’m pregnant! I’ve been trying for 3 years and I still can’t believe it. If I had known what I know now about PCOS and nutrition, I wouldn’t have struggled for years.
I had tried every fad diet under the sun.
I tried Jenny Craig, Medi Weight Loss, zero-carb diets, the lemon juice and turmeric “cleanse”, essentially all the fad diets under the sun. The food was always awful and carrying around frozen meals was not maintainable or practical. Those diets did not work because I couldn’t maintain the rapid changes longer than a few weeks.
Be Balanced with PCOS is maintainable. Small steps every day. Little changes that are practical. And over time, a ton of little changes become big changes. And this program is literally structured on balance, which is essential to life. As Meggie has said multiple times “I want you to love your life and enjoy your life”. You can still have fun, eat pizza, have a drink, and maintain a healthy lifestyle focused on your goals.
My health has completely changed!
I have lost over 20 pounds, lost inches in measurements of my arms, waist, butt, and boobs, my hair and nail growth is normal again, my skin has cleared up, I don’t get cystic acne as often on my chin anymore, I ovulated and got my period on my own. My insulin levels are healthy, and I am not even close to being pre-diabetic.
This program is DEFINITELY for you if:
- You want to balance your hormones and manage your PCOS naturally.
- You want to lose weight for good! And in a sustainable way.
- You want to stop feeling guilty when you eat your favorite foods.

- You want to decrease those skin tags and dark patches of skin.
- You want to conceive a baby naturally or support your IVF journey.
- You want a regulate cycle.
- You want to nourish your body to prepare for pregnancy.
This program is NOT for you if:
- You are not willing/wanting to stop following a restrictive diet.
- Weight loss is literally your only goal, no matter what the cost to your overall health and relationship with food.
- You are not ready to make and focus on sustainable nutrition and lifestyle changes.
- You think that you can improve your PCOS symptoms and get pregnant without making any changes to your diet and lifestyle.
- You are looking for a “quick fix”.
- You are not open to “new” ideas (evidenced based information).

Down 10# and ovulated on her own.
I got a positive ovulation test for the first time ever! And I’m down another 3# for a total of 10#. (First six weeks of working together)
I’m not exhausted anymore.
I’m not exhausted in the afternoons anymore and I’m able to enjoy the evenings with my family. I’ve also dropped a pant size, which is amazing because I haven’t been “focusing” on weight loss.
No more bingeing.
I had been following really strict diets that weren’t sustainable and then would end up bingeing. Through the program, I feel I was able to learn the foundation and follow up knowledge to create a more sustainable diet change.
Sustainable approach to PCOS
I find Meggie very friendly, warm, and approachable. I appreciate her holistic approach and promotion of sustainable changes instead of crash diets or restrictive diets.

Do you have a group program or just a course?
Yes! I have The PCOS Kitchen Cooking Course which teaches you exactly what to eat to improve your PCOS and then it shows you HOW to do that. (Join my newletter to learn more!)
Implementation is always the hardest part. The PCOS Kitchen Cooking Course was designed to provide you with knowledge you can apply in the kitchen to make a huge impact in your health.
I also provide 1:1 nutrition coaching for those individuals that need extra accountibility and support that coaching provides for making sustainable and realistic nutrition and lifestyle changes.
Why is it I can improve my PCOS without dieting?

“Food has become something I enjoy. The mirror is not my worst enemy anymore. I learned so much about food and nutrition, specifically my hunger/fullness cues. I learned to heal my past food traumas. I uncovered why I avoided certain foods more than others. The old me had no balance. I was self conscious about eating in front of others & now I am more confident.”
“In the past I went from dieting/cutting out foods to not eating enough and working out in excessively. I use to try not to eat the so called “bad food” like carbs. I was in a continual state of self blame or frustration at myself for not losing the weight or not following the diet perfectly. This really ends up playing an emotional toll on you. Now I try new foods and don’t worry of what others think. I listen to my hunger cues. I also eat my favorite foods but balance it out with other hunger crushing combos. It is all about balance with yourself and your food choices. I am truly at peace with myself but it takes work, self love and forgiveness.”
