PCOS Treatment For PCOS Women By PCOS Women
Meet our founder
Dr. Lynsey Johnson, DNP, APRN, FNP-C
I started PCOS Sisters after years of struggling—and finally overcoming—my own polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) symptoms.
At 25, I suddenly developed severe acne, mood swings, and unwanted hair on my chin seemingly out of nowhere. I was misdiagnosed multiple times because I didn’t “fit” the classic stereotype of someone with PCOS since I wasn’t overweight or infertile at the time (that came later). Thousands of dollars, multiple specialists, and years of frustration later, I finally received an accurate diagnosis and began effective treatment.
After earning my Doctorate of Nursing Practice and board certification as a Family Nurse Practitioner, I began treating patients who shared the same story as my own, women who were told their symptoms were “normal” or who had been dismissed by the medical system.
The Beginning of PCOS Sisters
What started as my personal mission grew into PCOS Sisters—a telehealth platform dedicated to empowering women with PCOS through accessible, evidence-based care. The PCOS Sisters treatment approach combines metabolic optimization, medical management of symptoms, and lifestyle support.
Because PCOS affects multiple systems in the body, I also serve as a primary care provider for women with PCOS, helping them achieve better long-term health outcomes. I believe lack of insurance coverage, distance, or multiple co-pays should never be a barrier to receiving high-quality PCOS care.

Client Reviews
I had a long struggle finding answers and coming to face the facts of this PCOS horrible illness that affects a lot of women. My first appointment with Kristina Medina FNP was everything I was hoping for. Someone knowledgeable, experienced, straightforward and caring. I am just recently starting the journey, but I have a feeling Kristina is going to be an amazing helping hand through this process. I did a telehealth visit inline since I live far and it was great!

Any questions I had were Answered by message if I did not want to wait for my monthly appointment. After 4 years of trying I got prégnant in less than 6 months.
Thank you Lynsey and team. I'm looking forward to starting this journey and getting my life back.
