Does PMOS Disappear at Menopause?
Does PMOS Disappear at Menopause? | PMOS, PCOS & Menopause Does PMOS (formerly known as PCOS) disappear when you reach menopause? The short answer is no — but PMOS can change significantly throughout perimenopause and menopause. In this episode of It’s Not You, It’s PMOS, Lora and Nick explore what happens to PCOS/PMOS after menopause, including which symptoms may improve, which can persist, and why metabolic health becomes an increasingly important focus beyond the reproductive years. As oestrogen levels change during perimenopause and menopause, women with PMOS may experience changes in insulin resistance, weight management, body composition, cardiovascular health, androgen levels, mental health and metabolic risk. Lora and Nick discuss practical, evidence-informed strategies to support your health during this transition, including the role of nutrition, protein, resistance training, cardiovascular exercise, muscle mass, bone health and the Mediterranean diet. In this episode, we cover: • Why PMOS is a lifelong condition that can evolve over time • What happens to PCOS/PMOS symptoms during menopause • How hormonal changes during perimenopause can affect PMOS • Insulin resistance, cardiovascular health and metabolic risk • Why weight management can become more challenging during menopause • Maintaining muscle mass and managing changes in body composition • How protein and a Mediterranean-style diet can support health • The importance of resistance training, cardiovascular exercise and bone health • Mental health and wellbeing during perimenopause and menopause • When symptoms should prompt a medical review • Why early intervention can help reduce long-term metabolic complications • How to build a healthcare team to support you through menopause Whether you have been diagnosed with PCOS/PMOS, are approaching perimenopause, or are already in menopause, this episode explores how to shift the focus from fertility alone towards long-term metabolic, cardiovascular, physical and mental health. Key takeaway: PMOS doesn't simply disappear at menopause — its presentation changes, and so should the way we support your health.

PCOS Is Now PMOS: Why the Name Changed and What It Means for Women
In this episode of It's Not You, It's PMOS, Lora and Nick unpack one of the biggest changes in women's health in decades: the transition from Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) to Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS). For years, the name PCOS has caused confusion, anxiety, and misunderstanding. Many women were told they had "cysts on their ovaries" when, in reality, the condition is far more complex and affects much more than reproductive health. Join us as we explore: • Why international experts agreed the name PCOS no longer reflected the condition accurately • The science behind the new term PMOS and what each word means • Why many women with the condition never actually had ovarian cysts • The role of insulin resistance, hormones, and metabolic health in PMOS • How the condition affects women throughout their entire lifespan—not just during their reproductive years • The increased risks for heart disease, diabetes, and other long-term health concerns • How changing the name may help reduce stigma and improve understanding of women's health We also discuss the global collaboration that led to the name change, involving thousands of women with lived experience, researchers, clinicians, and advocacy groups worldwide. Whether you've recently been diagnosed, have lived with PCOS for years, or support someone with the condition, this episode will help you understand why this change matters and what it means for the future of diagnosis, treatment, and awareness. Key Takeaway: You probably never had ovarian cysts—and that's exactly why the name needed to change. Subscribe, share, and join us as we continue to challenge outdated narratives and empower women with evidence-based information about PMOS.

Good Fats, Bad Fats & PCOS: Sorting the Hype from the Help
In this episode of 'It's Not You, It's PCOS', hosts Laura and Nick discuss the critical role of fats in managing PCOS. They explore the different types of fats, emphasizing the importance of healthy fats like omega-3s while cautioning against trans fats. The conversation highlights practical dietary tips for incorporating beneficial fats into meals and the impact of these choices on inflammation, hormone balance, and overall fertility outcomes. Takeaways Fat plays a powerful role in hormones, inflammation, and fertility. Not all fats are created equal; some are beneficial while others are harmful. The tastiest foods are often unhealthy and can lead to addiction. It's possible to reduce cravings for unhealthy foods over time. Trans fats are particularly harmful and should be avoided. Incorporating omega-3s from food is preferable to supplements. Healthy fats can improve hormone balance and fertility outcomes. Dietitians also face challenges with food cravings and balance. Making simple swaps in your diet can lead to better health. Fat should be viewed as an ally in managing PCOS, not an enemy.
