Registered Dietitian & PCOS Expert
About Tallene, MS RD
You know that moment where you feel like you’ve tried everything for your PCOS and nothing’s working? That was me.
I was diagnosed at 18 and sent home with no real answers, just a prescription and a shrug.
I tried it all: low calorie diets, hours of strenuous workouts, birth control. The scale wouldn’t move no matter how little I ate, the cravings were relentless, and I worried I’d never be able to have kids. I felt worse than ever, and more alone than ever.
Everything shifted when I started studying to become a Registered Dietitian. I learned why PCOS makes weight loss so much harder, insulin resistance and hormones working against you, and that “eat less, move more” was never going to work for a body like mine.
When I cut gluten and dairy and started eating to balance my blood sugar, the weight finally came off. My cravings calmed down. My energy came back. My cycle regulated. For the first time since 18, I felt like myself.
Once I lost the weight and reversed my own symptoms, I couldn’t keep it to myself. I shared exactly what worked, and a few women turned into a community of over a million Cysters ready to finally lose the weight in a way that works with their PCOS, not against it. That’s why my husband Sirak and I built OvaFit and The Cysterhood.
And these days? I’m a new mom to our son Arda, cooking a gluten and dairy free dinner with Sirak every night, living proof of everything I teach.
Co-Founder & Workout Designer
About Sirak, PCOS Personal Trainer
Sirak was literally designing parts for a nuclear power plant before he found his real calling.
But long before engineering, he’d spent years as a personal trainer, so when he started looking at PCOS, he understood the body in a way most people never do. Today he designs the PCOS-friendly slow weighted workouts that help women finally lose the weight that PCOS makes so hard to shift.
Before I met him, I was punishing myself with crazy cardio that left me drained, starving, and heavier than when I started.
On one of our early dates, we went to the gym together and he walked me through his slow, weighted method. Afterward I felt something I’d never felt after a workout: energized instead of wrecked. No cortisol crash, no cravings, just steady, good energy. And unlike the endless cardio, this was the approach that actually moved the scale.
When the pandemic hit, Sirak left engineering for good to help me build The Cysterhood: a place where women with PCOS could finally find proven, science-backed resources instead of the same recycled advice that never works for us.
Together we’ve helped over 500,000 women get real results, losing the weight in a way that finally feels sustainable while bringing back their periods and balancing their hormones.
