For the one in ten Australian women living with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, the story is painfully familiar. Symptoms are dismissed, diagnoses are delayed, and treatment options rarely extend beyond a prescription slip.
PCOS remains one of the most chronically under-supported areas of women’s health, with patients averaging two years just to receive a diagnosis and often spending thousands annually navigating specialists, blood tests, and supplement regimes that grow more complicated by the month.
It was within this landscape that Perth sisters Heidi and Amy Andrews realised the same thing countless women do.
The system wasn’t built to treat the condition as the whole-body, hormonally and metabolically intertwined reality it is.
After years of bouncing between practitioners and trying to manage symptoms ranging from irregular cycles to anxiety, they found themselves piecing together advice from multiple directions without ever receiving a comprehensive solution. What they needed didn’t exist.
Partnering with registered holistic nutritionists and leading Australian naturopaths, the sisters spent over 15 years immersed in women’s health research.
Their goal was simple: develop a single, TGA-listed supplement that supports hormonal balance, metabolic function, and mental well-being simultaneously—three pillars of PCOS that are almost always treated separately.
The result is Balance Me, a formulation manufactured in licensed Australian facilities and built around a blend of Vitex, Inositol, essential B-complex vitamins, zinc, selenium, and chromium.
One of the major breakthroughs was the inclusion of Melissa officinalis, or Lemon Balm, a botanical long used for its calming and sleep-supportive properties.
While anxiety, sleep disruption, and period pain affect up to 85 percent of women with PCOS, these symptoms are rarely addressed together in traditional treatment pathways. Integrating Lemon Balm into a PCOS-focused formulation marks a new direction, one that acknowledges the way stress, sleep, and hormonal patterns interact rather than isolating them.
Balance Me is available at thekhushplace.com for $69.95, or $59.95 on subscription, an accessible alternative to the multi-bottle systems so many women have come to accept as their only option.
