Episode 288- From PCOS to PMOS: Why This Metabolic Name Change Matters with Cory Ruth, RD

One of the most significant changes in women's health has officially arrived. Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is now known as Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS)—a name that better reflects the true nature of this common condition.

In this episode, I sit down with Cory Ruth, RDN, women's health and PMOS expert, to discuss why this historic name change was made and what it means for the millions of women living with the condition. We explore how the previous name often led to confusion by focusing on the ovaries, when the condition is fundamentally driven by complex endocrine and metabolic dysfunction.

Cory explains why insulin resistance plays such a central role, why weight loss can feel so frustrating, how PMOS impacts fertility and long-term health, and what women can do to support their metabolism through nutrition and lifestyle.

If you've ever struggled with stubborn weight, blood sugar instability, irregular cycles, infertility, or have been diagnosed with PMOS (formerly PCOS), this conversation will help you better understand what's happening inside your body—and why this new name represents an important step forward in women's healthcare.

WHAT WE DISCUSSED:

• Why PCOS was officially renamed Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS)
• How insulin resistance drives many PMOS symptoms
• Why PMOS is much more than an ovarian condition
• The connection between metabolism, hormones, fertility, and overall health
• Why weight loss is often so challenging with PMOS
• Nutrition and lifestyle strategies to improve metabolic health
• Common myths surrounding PMOS
• Practical first steps women can take to better manage the condition
