S13 E7: Why PCOS Is Now PMOS With Jim LaValle, RPh, CCN (Performance & Longevity Series)

PMOS, or polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome, is a condition that's estimated to affect 1 in 8 women worldwide. Until recently, it was known as PCOS, or polycystic ovarian syndrome. The recent name change reflects a leap in our understanding of the disease, moving the conversation beyond menstrual cycles and fertility to address its metabolic and endocrine roots, as well as the longer-term health risks associated with it.    In this episode, Jim LaValle RPh, CCN, unpacks this name change and why it matters, and he offers advice for managing and treating the condition through a whole-body approach.   This episode of Life Time Talks is part of our series on Performance and Longevity with MIORA.   Find the episode highlights, get related resources and view the transcript for this episode at https://experiencelife.lifetime.life/podcast/why-pcos-is-now-pmos-performance-longevity-series   Have thoughts you'd like to share or topic ideas for future episodes?
