PCOS is Now PMOS: What Every Woman Needs to Know About Hormones, Metabolism, and Real Solutions

If you've been diagnosed with PCOS — or suspect you might have it — this episode is essential listening. PCOS is now being renamed PMOS (Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome), and this isn't just a label change. It fundamentally changes how we understand and treat one of the most common hormonal conditions affecting women today.

In this episode, Dr. Jeni St. Onge and Tara Peterson break down why this name change matters, what PMOS actually is, and why it's a metabolic condition — not just an ovarian one. They discuss the root causes from a functional medicine perspective, including insulin resistance, adrenal dysfunction, inflammation, and gut health, and explain what standard lab testing may miss.

If you've been told your labs are "normal" but still struggle with irregular cycles, unexplained weight gain, fatigue, hair loss, or fertility challenges — this episode may give you the clarity you've been looking for.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why the name change from PCOS to PMOS matters for how it's treated
• What PMOS actually is — and why it's a metabolic condition
• Common symptoms in women that are frequently missed or dismissed
• Root causes including insulin resistance, adrenal dysfunction, and gut health
• What comprehensive testing reveals that standard labs may overlook
