Ep 338: What to know about PMOS
In this episode, Dr. Carrie Bedient and Dr. Susan Hudson are joined by special guest Dr. Stephanie Brownridge to explore the latest insights into polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and the proposed shift to polycystic ovarian metabolic syndrome (PMOS). They discuss why the name change matters, how the condition extends beyond the ovaries, and what it means for diagnosis, fertility, and long-term health. The conversation covers the difference between ovarian cysts and follicles, the roles of insulin resistance and hormonal imbalance, current treatment options including letrozole, metformin, and emerging GLP-1 receptor agonists, as well as the value of a multidisciplinary approach to care. The doctors also address pregnancy risks, lifestyle and nutrition strategies, and how PMOS is diagnosed across a broad spectrum of symptoms. Whether you've been diagnosed with PCOS, are trying to conceive, or simply want to better understand this common condition, this episode offers practical, evidence-based guidance to help you navigate reproductive and metabolic health.
