Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) affects more than just weight. It impacts hormones, fertility, and overall well-being. For Vivienne Wang, a Melbourne-based Accredited Practising Dietitian and fellow PCOS warrior, helping women manage PCOS goes beyond the scale, it’s about addressing PCOS at its root cause and focusing on “Sustainable Health.” Vivienne uses her experience to create an all-around PCOS approach through her platform “PCOS Dietitian Vivienne.”

Holistic PCOS Management

PCOS looks different for everyone. Symptoms such as irregular cycles, acne, and fertility problems vary greatly, but Vivienne aims to identify and address the underlying issues behind symptoms, whether hormonal imbalances, inflammation, or lifestyle-based issues, to provide personalized solutions. Her work is about improving the big-picture health of a community rather than implementing quick fixes. 

The most important aspect of her work is her non-diet approach, inspired by her own experiences with calorie counting and restrictive eating. Through intuitive eating and assisting women to listen to their bodies, Vivienne guides women to a more peaceful relationship with food. Rather than focusing exclusively on losing weight, she leads clients toward habits that improve overall health and can be sustained for long-term health.

For women trying to conceive, Vivienne’s expertise in fertility nutrition offers tailored plans to prepare the body for pregnancy and reduce complications. Her PCOS Fertility Solution course offers practical strategies aimed at supporting hormonal health, regulating cycles, and addressing fertility concerns, serving as a helpful resource for women at various stages of their journey.

Assisting Women Through Knowledge

Vivienne believes education is key to managing PCOS. From practical ideas for managing your symptoms to guidelines on optimizing your fertility, her platform is packed with accessible tools to create and support a balanced lifestyle. These tools allow women to take charge of their health on their own terms. 

Her credentials reinforce her expertise. She is accredited by Dietitians Australia and certified as a fertility and prenatal nutrition specialist through the Early Life Nutrition Alliance. She is also a contributor to Brainz Magazine, sharing insights on PCOS, fertility, and women’s health with a global audience.

Vivienne’s dedication goes beyond physical health. She knows the emotional toll of living with PCOS, from body-image struggles to stress. Her approach combines empathy and empowerment, helping clients to refocus on themselves, build confidence, and reduce negative pressure. 

A Mission Rooted in Personal Experience

Vivienne’s motivation to support women with PCOS comes from her own experience. Diagnosed with PCOS, as a teenager, she experienced weight gain, skin problems, and emotional challenges. Years of eating restrictions and calorie-counting produced short-term outcomes, but also trapped her in a cycle of fear and frustration. Discovering intuitive eating and science-based nutrition was the only thing that allowed her to manage her symptoms sustainably.

Now, Vivienne is committed to sharing her knowledge and experience with others. Her goal is to guide women toward a balanced, positive approach to health—one that prioritizes long-term results and quality of life.

Vivienne Wang’s work as a dietitian specializing in PCOS is a demonstration of her belief that management of the disease is about far more than weight. Her individualized method allows women to get to the root of their symptoms, learn how to eat positively, and shift their mindset to overall well-being. Vivienne enables women to reclaim their health and have more fulfilled, happier lives by supplying them with education, support, and practical tools.
