About Brigitte's PCOS Diagnosis Journey | PCOS To Wellness

Hello, lovely!

I’m Brigitte Warne - a Sydney-based model, entrepreneur, plant-loving foodie, and as of November 2017, a proud (and very determined!) ‘cyster’.

I created PCOS to Wellness to share the raw, real journey of my PCOS diagnosis and healing - because I know what it’s like to feel lost, overwhelmed, and completely alone. My hope is to help other women who are struggling with the same symptoms I once did - acne, anxiety, hair loss, irregular cycles - and to show you that there is a natural path forward.


How it all started...

I’d spent over a decade modelling professionally across Australia and internationally, while also completing two degrees - one in Health Science (Public Health + Health Promotion), and another in Commerce. I even launched a couple of global businesses along the way. From the outside, everything looked fine. But inside, my health was quietly unravelling.

In March 2017, after ten years on the contraceptive pill, I decided to stop taking it. I was ready to reconnect with my body and my natural cycle. I honestly didn’t think twice about what might happen next.

But I’ll never forget the months that followed.


Everything changed.

What started as mild symptoms quickly spiralled - nausea, fatigue, memory fog, hair loss, breakouts, anxiety - and eventually, cystic acne so severe I didn't want to leave the house. My period disappeared. I felt like a stranger in my own body.

I saw five different doctors during that time. Each one dismissed me with acne creams or antibiotics and sent me on my way. Not one thought to look deeper. Not one truly listened.

But I knew my body. And I knew something wasn’t right.

After nearly a year of feeling broken and invisible, I finally found a doctor who agreed (somewhat reluctantly) to run blood tests. A few days later, I had an answer:

“You have PCOS. You likely won’t be able to conceive naturally. And there’s no known cure.”


But I refused to accept that.

Something in me lit up. I threw myself into research, determined to find a natural way to manage and heal. I immersed myself in herbal medicine, nutrition, lifestyle changes, and ancient wisdom. I tried, tested, failed, and learned everything I could to restore balance to my body.

And slowly, it started to work.


The beginning of PCOS to Wellness

I initially started PCOS to Wellness as a simple blog and Instagram account - just a space where I could share my journey and connect with others going through the same struggles. I didn’t expect it to grow into the beautiful, empowering community it is today.

But so many of us were out there - searching for answers, support, and hope - and I knew I couldn’t keep what I’d learned to myself.


Fast forward to today…

I cleared my cystic acne. Regrew my hair. Reclaimed my energy. Got my period back. Said goodbye to anxiety.

And in 2019, I gave birth to my beautiful baby boy, Flynn James - conceived 100% naturally.

Then, 2.5 years later, my heart grew even bigger with the arrival of our sweet girl, Willa Daisy.

I am now an extremely proud mama of two, and being their mother brings me more joy, purpose, and love than anything I’ve ever experienced. They are my greatest reminder that our bodies are capable of incredible healing - and that it’s always worth fighting for your health.

Why I created PCOS to Wellness products

When I was first diagnosed, managing PCOS felt overwhelming and almost unachievable. Between confusing advice and expensive, overcomplicated wellness routines, I just wanted something that was natural, effective, affordable, and easy to use every day.

That became my mission.

I poured everything I’d learned into creating gentle, but powerful herbal blends along with passionate naturopaths and herbalist that support hormone balance, reduce inflammation, and help women feel more like themselves again. I wanted managing PCOS to feel doable - because it should be.


You’re not alone

I started this platform to be the resource I so desperately needed - a place of honesty, hope, and real, practical tools. Through herbal teas, simple daily rituals, and a growing community of women lifting each other up, I now share the path I took to go from hormone havoc to healing - and I’m so honoured to walk this journey with you.

This is my story.
