Registered Dietitian & PCOS Expert
About Tallene
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 with no real answers from my doctors. I tried it all: low calorie diets, strenuous workouts, birth control, and felt worse than ever.
When I started studying to become a Registered Dietitian, I learned how gluten and dairy free meals could shift everything for me. I finally felt balance. I became obsessed with learning how to reverse PCOS, as each small step helped my insane cravings come back to life.
Now, I enjoy a home cooked gluten and dairy free meal with my husband, Sirak, every night!
Co-Founder & Workout Designer
About Sirak
Sirak was literally designing parts for a nuclear power plant when he decided to pivot. Today he helps design PCOS-friendly slow weighted workouts that change the lives of women worldwide.
Before I met him, I was doing crazy cardio workouts that left me feeling drained and hungry. On one of our dates, we went to the gym together and he showed me his slow, weighted workout method. Afterwards, I felt so energized, no cortisol spike, just good energy.
Sirak quit his engineering path during a world-wide pandemic to help build The Cysterhood.
Together, we created The Cysterhood, a supportive community of women with PCOS who can finally find proven resources that help manage their symptoms.
We’ve helped over 500,000+ women find tangible solutions, bringing back their periods, balancing hormones, and losing weight comfortably.
