Live Like a Girl with Dr. Mindy Pelz20 Juli

Why PCOS Was Just Renamed (And What It Means for Women’s Health Globally)

Millions of women have been told they have PCOS. Millions more have been told nothing is wrong at all.

Now, one of the most common hormonal conditions affecting women has a new name: PMOS, Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome. The change reflects what experts have long understood, this condition is about far more than the ovaries. It's deeply connected to metabolism, insulin resistance, inflammation, and hormone balance.

In this episode, Dr. Mindy is joined by Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi, renowned OB-GYN and co-host of the She MD podcast, along with entrepreneur and women's health advocate Mary Alice Haney. Together, they unpack why so many women go undiagnosed, why insulin resistance isn't always visible on the outside, and how lifestyle, nutrition, and early intervention can dramatically change a woman's health trajectory.

They also discuss the growing impact of environmental toxins, breast cancer risk, fertility, metabolic dysfunction, and what every woman should know before walking into her next doctor's appointment.

In this episode you'll learn:

Why PCOS was renamed to PMOS and what the change means
The three criteria used to diagnose PMOS
Why up to 80% of women with PMOS remain undiagnosed
How insulin resistance affects both lean and overweight women
Why birth control alone doesn't address the root cause of PMOS
Practical nutrition, lifestyle, and medical approaches to improving insulin sensitivity
How to become a stronger advocate for your own healthcare
