Christine Updegraff, MS
CEO, Bellwether Wellness | Program Director, PCOSynergy
I’ve been immersed in the world of PCOS and nutrition since 1997—long before most people had even heard the term. What began as a personal mission to restore my own health evolved into decades of advocacy, research, and results-driven strategies. Along the way, I’ve presented to doctors at the NIH and hospital grand rounds, participated in Healthcare.gov meetings, and worked with national media to keep PCOS awareness in the spotlight. My own fertility breakthrough came after 11 unsuccessful ART cycles; when I addressed the underlying causes of my PCOS, I regained my health and welcomed my son into the world.
All of this unfolded while I was leading global teams in the airline, travel, and hospitality technology industry—a career that honed my precision, performance, and problem-solving skills. During the pandemic, I went back to school to formalize my decades of knowledge, earning my MS in Personalized Nutrition from the University of Connecticut (go Huskies!).
As CEO of Bellwether Wellness and Program Director of PCOSynergy, I work with girls and women of all ages living with PCOS—whether they’re navigating symptoms in their teens and twenties (PCOSynergy Discovery), optimizing fertility through our intensive PCOSynergy TTC program, or focusing on long-term metabolic health beyond their reproductive years (PCOSynergy Longevity). My approach blends science, strategy, and a healthy dose of real talk to create plans that are data-driven, sustainable, and actually work in real life.
I’m also the Founder and Chairman of the Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome Association, Inc., established in 1998 as the first nonprofit in the U.S. dedicated to PCOS awareness and education. Over the years, I’ve collaborated with leading experts (including Dr. Barry Sears of The Zone fame) to bring innovative approaches like Metabolic Engineering™ into practical, results-driven programs.
When I’m not guiding clients, you can find me spending time on Cape Cod with my family, skiing down a mountain, cheering on my son at football games, thrifting, or enjoying a long walk with our family dog, Xena.
And yes—if you ever want to talk insulin resistance over a good cup of coffee, I’m your person.
