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 Subscribe, share, and join us as we continue to challenge outdated narratives and empower women with evidence-based information about PMOS.

Cravings, Cramps & Cortisol - Maybe it's time to look at Magnesium! Magnesium is one of the most underrated nutrients when it comes to managing PCOS—but it plays a powerful role behind the scenes. In this episode, we unpack how magnesium influences key aspects of PCOS, from insulin resistance and hormonal balance to mood, inflammation, and long-term cardiovascular health. You’ll learn why women with PCOS are more likely to have lower magnesium levels, how this impacts symptoms like acne, hirsutism, and anxiety, and what you can do about it. We also break down the best food sources of magnesium, practical ways to increase your intake, and when supplementation may be helpful—including which forms to consider depending on your symptoms. Whether you’re trying to improve your metabolic health, support your mental wellbeing, or optimise your fertility, this episode will give you a clear, evidence-based understanding of how magnesium fits into your PCOS management plan. What we cover: The role of magnesium in over 300 biochemical processes, including glucose metabolism and insulin signalling Why magnesium deficiency is more common in women with PCOS How magnesium supports insulin sensitivity and reduces inflammation The link between magnesium, hormone balance, and symptoms like acne and excess hair growth Magnesium’s impact on mood, anxiety, and the nervous system Benefits for cardiovascular health and blood pressure Magnesium-rich foods and how to include them in your diet When to consider supplementation and which forms may be most appropriate We walk you through the different types of Magnesium and why they are used for different outcomes: Magnesium glycinate Magnesium citrate Magnesium oxide Want to boost your magnesium intake through food?
