When she was diagnosed with PCOS in her 20s and was told the only treatment was hormonal birth control, Ashley Lall felt confused, dismissed, and disappointed. When she asked her doctors questions and inquired further, she was met with hostility.

Like many other women dealing with reproductive health issues, it wouldn’t be the first time the healthcare system let her down.

Years later, when she struggled with her fertility and learned her dream of becoming a mother may not come to pass, Ashley knew she had to take matters into her own hands, and went in search of a solution.

From a young age, Ashley had a deep love for science, and her diagnosis was an open invitation to dig into the research surrounding her condition. As she learned more about the bodily processes involved in PCOS (namely, blood sugar and stress management), Ashley began to make changes to her diet and lifestyle. She even incorporated some Eastern medicine practices from traditional systems like Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) into her daily routine.

Combining aspects of what she learned across sources and disciplines, Ashley found herself on a path of healing — and not just in the body. Despite her diagnosis, Ashley was able to get pregnant and deliver two healthy babies, and she let go of symptoms she dealt with for years (sleep issues, acid reflux, etc.). As a small plus, she also found herself experiencing peace in her mind and heart for the first time in her life.

The healing Ashley found awakened a passion for sharing the knowledge and tools that changed her life. Her experience has inspired her career as a health and wellness journalist for brands like Livestrong.com, Wellandgood.com, Firstforwomen.com, and Womansworld.com. She is also a dedicated student (and certified teacher) of yoga and Ayurveda.

As a journalist, Ashley is the bridge between the academic world and the public. She covers topics like food and nutrition, women’s health, pregnancy, fitness, and yoga.

As a yoga teacher, Ashley leads people back home to themselves on the mat. She relies on her own daily practice to feel grounded and balanced in her life. Yoga changed her world — especially during pregnancy and the postpartum period, and she’s passionate about spreading the word to a community that is so often under-served.

As a mom, Ashley’s goal is to be a living example of wholeness for her girls, and she wants more than anything for other moms to feel that way. She believes we all deserve to feel whole, and we can only do that when our minds and bodies are properly aligned.

More than anything, Ashley’s mission is to acquire all the knowledge she can about how we can live our best, healthiest lives, and to pass it on so that others may benefit. In her work, she draws from her own experience and remains dedicated to scientific research.

Through her work at Biohack Yourself, Ashley continues to inform, inspire, and instruct others on how they can take control of their physical and spiritual health.
