Dr. Eileen is a medical doctor with firsthand experience about what it’s like to suffer from PCOS and endometriosis. From the age of 15, Dr. Elieen’s mother performed pain-relief techniques and home remedies taught to her by her mother to help ease menstrual pain. These techniques provided temporary relief, and as the years went by, Dr. Eileen took more action to figure out a diagnosis and treatment plan. As someone who dealt with painful and difficult periods and PMS due to PCOS and endometriosis, Dr. Eileen believes lifestyle changes are the foundation of treatment for women with menstrual issues and that these simple, impactful changes improve symptoms and the quality of life and long-term health. During medical school, Dr. Elieen realized she had only been treating her symptoms and not the root causes of her issues. With simple adjustments to her daily routine, she began addressing the root causes of her symptoms and achieved less period pain and gained daily energy. What started as sporadic and incremental changes became a healing lifestyle. In addition to her work in medicine, Dr. Eileen has a master’s degree in public health and has volunteered with nonprofits as a personal support aid and during that time gained experience caring for patients of different ages and with varying illnesses.

Andrea is a certified nutritional practitioner with the Institute of Holistic Nutrition and a NASM certified personal trainer. She is also a writer and editor specializing in health and wellness, and holds a Bachelor of Arts in communication studies from McMaster University. Andrea has firsthand experience with health and wellness struggles. She battled anorexia and bulimia for more than five years and, as a result, lost her period for seven years when she was 16 and did not regain it until age 23. When conventional practitioners contributed little toward healing, finding the path of natural healing was life-saving. Andrea switched to working with functional medicine doctors, therapists, and chiropractors to center on healing. Combined with countless hours of personal research and a focus on physical and mental health, Andrea’s period came back naturally, without the use of synthetic hormones, and she has been able to maintain it. Through her personal health journey and education, Andrea has developed a passion for educating people on the importance of diet, exercise, and overall mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being. As a perpetual student and work-a-holic, when Andrea isn’t doing one of those two things, you can find her traveling, with her family’s dogs, at the gym, or trying new delicious foods! 

Theresa is a mental health advocate, with a bachelor’s degree in psychology, and master’s in guidance and counseling. She has a passion for helping others raise their self-awareness, especially empowering them to resolve internal struggles and become a better version of themselves, mentally and emotionally. Theresa has personally struggled with PMDD, a more serious and complicated condition than PMS.

Her personal journey has helped her become more aware of the daily habits that impact her health. As a result, Theresa strives to continue improving all aspects of her life, including sleep quality, morning and evening routines, work habits, and mindset.
