PCOS Diva was founded by Amy Medling in 2009.

Amy’s journey to become a PCOS Diva may be familiar to you. In her teens, she began to suffer with the symptoms of PCOS including hirsutism, weight gain, irregular cycles, and acne. Her symptoms carried on through adulthood were getting pregnant was mentally and physically challenging. She felt hopeless and out of control- a victim of my own body.

After years of following mainstream advice from countless doctors, she realized that nothing was helping. The drugs offered made her sicker and more miserable and knew that she had to empower herself and take control of her health. No one else could do it for her. She couldn’t take advice at face value and continue to think and act like a victim. She scoured the internet for information and read countless books and went back to school to learn from experts. After hundreds of hours and tons of trial and error she developed a protocol that allowed her to thrive. She changed her diet and lifestyle and most importantly, her mindset.

 She started taking care of herself. When her doctor started seeing her success and sending women to her for help, she knew she was onto something. She realized that her Diva protocol could help others. There were millions of women just like her – struggling against our symptoms with medicine and advice that didn’t help. She could break what she learned into small, manageable steps that help women take control of their symptoms. Now she just did that. She is also the mother of an amazing daughter,  and direct product of the lifestyle she forged. Despite what doctors warned all those years ago, she was able to conceive naturally. she just had to have the proper education, mindset and tools first. Essentially, She had to become a Diva.

In 2023, Amy took a step back from PCOS Diva and, Dr. Vinu Jyothi, MD, MPH. joined  PCOS Diva.  Along with her passion for preventative medicine, Dr. Vinu also brings her expertise and over ten years of experience in clinical research.  Dr. Vinu has had her own personal journey with PCOS and she firmly believes in a  holistic approach for healing. Dr. Vinu lives in Cary NC with her husband Senthil and her two boys, Krish and Ishan. Her husband Senthil Samy, PhD is also a clinical researcher, and is the executive editor for a cancer journal. Both Dr. Vinu and Senthil are avid intermittent fasters and believe a healthy diet is the best medicine. They embrace a holistic lifestyle and spend their free time exploring North Carolina’s greenways and engaging in activities that their kids are passionate about. The addition of Dr. Vinu and Senthil fills a gap at PCOS Diva for detailed medical research.

Now, PCOS Diva is the movement driven by a team of women healthcare experts, health coach, clinical researchers and nutritionists etc.
