PCOS Has a New Name. Here's What That Means for You.
In May 2026, PCOS was officially renamed Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome — PMOS.
The new name finally reflects what you've been living with. This is not a condition about ovarian cysts. It is a complex, hormonal and metabolic condition — one that affects far more than your ovaries or your reproductive health. It affects your weight, your energy, your mood, your skin, your blood sugar and so much more.
The old name led to years of women being told to "just lose weight" as though the condition were a lifestyle choice — rather than a complex endocrine disorder that itself makes weight management more difficult.
PMOS was frequently framed purely as a fertility issue, meaning women without immediate fertility goals often received little support for the broader health implications.
SYMPTOMS
Does This Sound Familiar?
Weight that won't shift — especially around the middle
Energy that crashes without warning
Blood sugar swings, cravings and constant hunger
Irregular, missing or painful periods
Skin changes — acne, oiliness or darkening
Unwanted hair growth or hair thinning
Brain fog and difficulty concentrating
Anxiety, low mood, or feeling overwhelmed
Fertility challenges
Feeling like your body is working against you
If this sounds like your symptoms — you're in the right place.
What We Work On Together
Blood Sugar & Insulin Resistance
The metabolic root of PMOS.
We work to stabilise your blood sugar, improve insulin sensitivity, and reduce your long-term risk of type 2 diabetes — this is where the most meaningful change begins.
Nutrition That Works For Your Body
Evidence-based dietary approaches, including low glycaemic index eating, anti-inflammatory foods and high-fibre nutrition — improve insulin sensitivity and hormonal balance in women with PMOS. I translate that evidence into a practical, tailored care that fits your real life. No rigid rules, no restriction, no shame.
Weight & Metabolic Balance
Lifestyle change is hard when you're dealing with fatigue, hormonal fluctuations, and cravings and the standard advice often doesn't account for the metabolic complexity of PMOS.
Emotional Wellbeing
The anxiety, the frustration, the grief of years without answers — this is part of your health too. Mind-body strategies are woven into every care plan, because you are a whole person, not a collection of symptoms.
Hormonal Health
Your hormones don't work in isolation. Insulin, androgens, cortisol, thyroid and oestrogen are all in conversation and understanding that conversation is key to feeling better. I look at the full picture and build a strategy that addresses root causes, not just individual symptoms.
PMOS & Perimenopause
For many women, PMOS and perimenopause arrive together and the overlap is complex, often confusing, and rarely addressed properly. I help you understand what each condition is doing — and how to manage both with clarity and confidence.
This Is For You If...
You've been diagnosed with PCOS or PMOS and still feel like nobody has properly explained it to you.
You're dealing with weight, blood sugar or energy challenges and suspect PMOS may be connected.
You have PMOS and are also at risk of, or you're managing type 2 diabetes.
You want evidence-based, whole-person care from a practitioner who will take the time to help you understand it too.
You deserve care that finally makes sense of everything you've been experiencing.
