PCOS just got a glow up. This wildly misunderstood condition affects 1 in 8 women and 170 million women worldwide, and has officially been renamed PMOS: Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome. In this episode, Erin is joined by TFN lead practitioner Rachel Heintz, MS, RDN, IFMCP, FHP-C, to talk about why this name change matters.

Rachel breaks down why the old PCOS label created so much confusion, and how PMOS can impact metabolism, blood sugar, cardiovascular health, skin, fertility, mental health, and more.

This is a whole-human conversation about a whole-body condition, because women are more than “just hormones walking around,” and this condition was never just about the ovaries.

1. Why PCOS was renamed PMOS, and how the new name reflects what’s actually happening in the body
2. The four PMOS archetypes Rachel sees most often: insulin-resistant, inflammatory, adrenal, and post-pill
3. How perfume, dryer sheets, and what’s under your kitchen sink can all matter for endocrine health
4. The fertility case study that had surprisingly little to do with the ovaries themselves
