Dr. Darine Moukalled is a board-certified OB/GYN, gynecological surgeon, Certified Menopause Practitioner, and Obesity Medicine physician with more than 15 years of clinical experience caring for women across all stages of life. Her work focuses on women’s hormonal and metabolic health, including PCOS, fertility care, insulin resistance, metabolism, and weight management. She takes a patient-centered approach that combines evidence-based medicine, compassionate care, and the principles of lifestyle medicine to help patients better understand their symptoms and overall health.

Through years of caring for patients and guiding women through complex hormonal and metabolic concerns, Dr. Moukalled developed a passion for making medical topics feel clear, approachable, and empowering. Her writing is designed to help readers better understand the “why” behind their symptoms so they can feel more informed, confident, and supported throughout their healthcare journey. Her perspective as both a physician and a parent of a child with special needs has further deepened her understanding of the importance of advocacy, compassion, and truly listening to patients and families navigating complex healthcare systems. These experiences have strongly shaped her commitment to patient-centered care and health education. 

Her book, Not Broken—From PCOS to PMOS: Your Guide to Hormones, Metabolism, Weight, and Fertility, was written to help readers navigate PCOS with clarity, practical guidance, and reassurance — without shame or judgment. Dr. Moukalled believes patients deserve explanations, support, and healthcare conversations that make them feel heard. She continues to care for patients while developing educational resources focused on women’s hormonal and metabolic health.
