S2E15: Is Your Weight Struggle PMOS (Formerly PCOS)?

It's estimated that 1 in 8 women have PMOS. Most of them have never even heard of it.

You probably know it by its old name: PCOS.

In one of the biggest updates to women's health in years, experts officially changed the name from Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) to Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS) because the old name missed the bigger picture. This isn't just about ovaries. It's about your metabolism, your hormones, your blood sugar, your energy, and how your entire body functions.

If you've been battling stubborn weight, acne, irregular periods, facial hair, anxiety, food noise, infertility, fatigue, inflammation, or you constantly feel like your body isn't responding no matter how "healthy" you're trying to be, this episode is for you.

Joining Jamie once again is Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and "Your Blood Sugar Bestie" Ashley Lawrence, who was diagnosed with PMOS herself and has since reversed her symptoms and lost her diagnosis by getting to the root cause instead of chasing them one at a time.

Together, they break down what this name change actually means for you, why so many women have slipped through the cracks for years, and how all those random, frustrating symptoms you've been dealing with might actually be connected to the same root cause.

You'll learn:

• PCOS → PMOS: why the name changed and what it really means

• Insulin resistance in PMOS (even without weight gain)

• Prevalence: 1 in 8 women, many undiagnosed

• Blood sugar dysregulation and its impact on hormones, mood, digestion, inflammation, fertility, and energy

• Why calorie restriction and high-intensity workouts can backfire
