Kym Campbell is an Australian singer-songwriter and women's health coach, originally from Seattle, Washington USA. Campbell writes and performs earthy, stripped back music incorporating roots, folk and reggae. Her music is influenced by Ben Harper, Jack Johnson, Jason Mraz and Bob Marley, among other artists.
In 2015 Campbell started the blog site Smart Fertility Choices where she began writing about her personal struggles with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and the resulting infertility caused by this endocrine disorder. After nearly five years of unsuccessful fertility treatments, she made dramatic changes to her diet and lifestyle and was able to fall pregnant naturally.
When not playing music, Campbell now helps other women apply evidence based lifestyle interventions to treat their PCOS through her free 30 Day PCOS Diet Challenge and Beat PCOS 10 Week online program.
