In this interview with Terri DeNeui, we explore why the conversation around PCOS is shifting toward a broader understanding of metabolic health with the emerging term PMOS.
Rather than viewing irregular cycles, infertility, and hormone imbalances as isolated ovarian problems, we discuss how insulin resistance, gut health, inflammation, stress, and lifestyle factors may be driving many of the symptoms women experience. I also share why this updated perspective could change the way clinicians evaluate and support patients across different stages of life—not just during their reproductive years.
We also spend time talking about practical treatment considerations, from comprehensive lab testing and lifestyle interventions to the appropriate role of GLP-1 medications.
Topics We Cover in This Episode:
Why some experts are moving from the term PCOS to PMOS—and what that shift represents
How insulin resistance and gut health may influence hormone balance
Why irregular menstrual cycles deserve a broader metabolic evaluation
The role inflammation and stress may play in hormone-related symptoms
Why body composition can be a more meaningful measure than weight alone
How to think about GLP-1 medications as one tool rather than a complete solution
Practical lifestyle habits that support long-term metabolic and hormonal health
Why treating symptoms without addressing underlying metabolic dysfunction may leave important questions unanswered
If you're interested in a more comprehensive way of thinking about hormones, metabolism, and women's health, I think you'll find this conversation both practical and thought-provoking.
