Summary
For years, PCOS has been viewed mainly as a hormonal or reproductive condition. But new research and growing clinical understanding are changing the conversation. In this episode, Shane Walsh breaks down why PCOS may need to be understood through a much wider lens — one that includes metabolic health, insulin resistance, chronic stress, inflammation, gut health, sleep, and overall lifestyle factors. One of the names being discussed is PMOS — PolyMetabolic Ovary Syndrome. The reason for this is that PCOS is often misunderstood as "just a hormone" or fertility condition, when in reality, for many women, it's strongly linked to metabolic dysfunction.
