Jamie Laura Benham, MD, PhD, FRCPC
Endocrinology & Metabolism / Women's Health at University of Calgary / EMBRACE Women's Health Research Lab (Director)
In Calgary, Alberta, Dr. Jamie Laura Benham is redefining how polycystic ovary syndrome is understood and treated through the lens of metabolic health and lifestyle medicine. An endocrinologist and researcher at the University of Calgary, Dr. Benham founded the EMBRACE Lab — a dedicated research program focused on Exercise, Metabolism, and PCOS — making her one of North America's leading PCOS specialists in this space.
Dr. Benham's clinical and research work centers on the powerful role that exercise, nutrition, and lifestyle interventions play in managing PCOS across the lifespan. She specializes in the metabolic dimensions of PCOS, including insulin resistance, weight management, cardiovascular risk, and hormonal health, offering patients an approach that goes beyond medications to address root causes.
Her dual identity as both a practicing endocrinologist and an active PhD-level researcher means her patients benefit from emerging science translated directly into clinical care. For women in Calgary — and those seeking a PCOS expert who takes a holistic, evidence-based, lifestyle-integrated approach to managing polycystic ovary syndrome — Dr. Benham offers a genuinely distinctive and forward-thinking perspective on PCOS care.
