If you have PCOS/PMOS and feel like weight loss is harder for you than it seems to be for everyone else, this episode is for you.
Dr. Nastasia Irons is back on Girls Gone Wellness for a second time, and after her first episode on body recomposition became one of our most listened-to episodes, we knew we had to bring her back.
This time, we’re talking all about PCOS/PMOS and weight management, including why weight loss really can feel more difficult, what role insulin resistance and inflammation play, and why simply telling women to “eat less and move more” misses a huge part of the picture.
We also break down some of the biggest myths and questions we see online, including:
- Is weight loss actually harder with PCOS/PMOS?
- Can eating too little make things worse?
- Do you need to go low-carb?
- Is fruit bad for insulin resistance?
- Is HIIT really harmful for your hormones?
- Why is strength training so important?
- What does an ideal exercise routine look like?
- Can the Mediterranean diet help?
- Where do GLP-1 medications and metformin fit in?
- Do supplements like inositol and berberine actually work?
We also talk about why PCOS has been renamed PMOS, polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome, and why this new name better reflects the fact that this condition affects far more than reproductive health alone.
If you’ve ever felt confused, discouraged, or overwhelmed by all the conflicting advice around PCOS/PMOS, weight loss, carbs, exercise, insulin resistance and supplements, this episode will help you understand what actually matters.
And if you haven’t listened to Dr. Irons’ first episode with us on body recomposition, make sure to go back and listen to that one next.
