Menopause Management - Dr. Barbie Taylor
The 3 Hormonal Abnormalities of Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovary Syndrome (PMOS/PCOS)
What really causes PMOS—and why does it affect far more than your ovaries? In this episode, Dr. Barbara “Menopause” Taylor takes a deeper look at the three hormonal abnormalities behind PMOS, revealing how testosterone, luteinizing hormone (LH), and insulin disrupt three different systems in the body: dermatologic, reproductive, and metabolic. Dr. Taylor explains how excessive testosterone can cause acne, unwanted hair growth and hair loss; how persistently high LH and low progesterone can disrupt ovulation, periods and fertility; and how excess insulin contributes to metabolic problems including diabetes, cardiovascular disease and fatty liver disease. Together, these three hormonal pathways reveal why PMOS is much more than a condition involving ovarian cysts—and why understanding the whole picture matters. Visual learner?
