About Dr. Lynsey
Dr. Lynsey Johnson, DNP, APRN, FNP-C is a nurse practitioner, researcher, entrepreneur, and nationally recognized advocate specializing in PCOS and hormone health. As the Founder and CEO of PCOS Sisters Telehealth Clinic & Wellness Center and PMOS Sisters™, she has built a multi-state telehealth practice dedicated to providing comprehensive, patient-centered care for women living with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), now recognized as Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS). Drawing from both her professional expertise and personal experience as a patient, Dr. Johnson has become a leading voice in advancing awareness, education, and evidence-based treatment for one of the most underdiagnosed hormonal disorders affecting women worldwide. With more than a decade of clinical experience across family medicine, endocrinology, women’s health, urology, and emergency medicine, Dr. Johnson combines medical innovation with a strong entrepreneurial vision. Her practice delivers integrated telehealth services nationwide, offering lab-driven diagnosis, weight management, hormone balancing, metabolic care, fertility support, and mental health resources through an accessible subscription-based model as well as insurance in many states. In addition to leading her own healthcare organizations, she serves as an adjunct instructor and community research partner at Emory University and mentors nurse practitioners through her consulting company, helping clinicians launch modern telehealth and direct primary care practices built for the future of healthcare delivery. Dr. Johnson is also deeply involved in clinical research and advocacy initiatives aimed at improving outcomes for women with PCOS and PMOS. She has collaborated on research exploring semaglutide treatment outcomes in PCOS patients and has contributed to broader conversations surrounding the global renaming and reclassification of the condition to better reflect its endocrine and metabolic complexity. Known for her solution-oriented leadership style, Dr. Johnson is passionate about empowering women through education, community, and compassionate care while continuing to expand access to specialized hormone and metabolic health services across the country.
Her Interview
Ten minutes with Dr. Lynsey
01What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to persistence, maintaining an entrepreneurial and solution-oriented mindset, and staying highly organized while balancing multiple responsibilities. I’ve learned the importance of trusting my instincts and following my gut, even when challenges arise or others may not fully understand my vision. Remaining adaptable and committed to my purpose has been essential throughout my career.
02What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
The best advice I’ve received is to keep going and never give up. There will always be people who question your ideas or discourage your goals, but it’s important to trust your own expertise, intuition, and abilities. Staying confident in your vision and continuing forward despite obstacles has been one of the greatest lessons in my professional journey.
03What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
I would encourage young women who want to become both clinicians and entrepreneurs to begin by working in a smaller practice setting. That experience provides valuable insight into how a business operates, how challenges are managed, and how solutions are developed in real time. Understanding the operational side of healthcare is incredibly important and creates a strong foundation for future leadership and entrepreneurship.
04What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
One of the biggest challenges in my field is the high rate of misdiagnosis and underdiagnosis of PCOS and PMOS, with many women still going undiagnosed for years. At the same time, there are tremendous opportunities for growth through ongoing research, improved screening tools, medication studies, and increased awareness surrounding metabolic health. The evolution of PMOS as a broader clinical framework may help shift the focus toward long-term metabolic risks and preventative care. Additionally, telehealth continues to create opportunities to expand access to care across multiple states and strengthen multidisciplinary partnerships.
05What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
The values that matter most to me are integrity, compassion, perseverance, and service. I believe in treating every patient with empathy while remaining committed to providing evidence-based, high-quality care. Personally and professionally, I value authenticity, continuous learning, and creating meaningful impact through the work I do.
