72 | PCOS To PMOS: What the Name Change Means For Women’s Health

Send us Fan Mail

PMOS, formerly known as PCOS, recently underwent a landmark name change after a global consensus process involving patients, clinicians, researchers and health organizations. This episode is about much more than the recent rebrand. We explore what PMOS actually is, why the previous name created confusion, how insulin resistance and metabolic health fit into the picture, and what current evidence says about management options ranging from lifestyle interventions to medications, and what it all means for women’s health. This is perfect for anyone living with PMOS, supporting someone who is or simply interested in understanding one of the most common yet misunderstood endocrine conditions affecting women.
