In this episode, Taylor explores the complex yet often misunderstood condition of PCOS/PMOS. She debunks myths surrounding birth control as a solution, and highlight the importance of personalized, root-cause focused strategies to restore hormonal health and fertility. Perfect for women seeking sustainable solutions beyond symptom suppression.
This episode was recorded prior to the proposed terminology shift from PCOS to PMOS (Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome).
This change is a huge step in the right direction because — as you'll hear throughout this episode — this condition involves far more than ovarian cysts alone.
Polyendocrine recognizes the involvement of multiple hormone systems (including insulin and androgens). Metabolic highlights the important whole-body impacts, including insulin resistance, weight/metabolic changes, and cardiovascular risk.
Ovarian preserves the reproductive and ovulatory aspects of the condition. Syndrome reflects that this is a cluster of symptoms and presentations rather than a single, one-size-fits-all disease.

- The critical role of gut health, nutrient deficiencies, and minerals in managing PCOS
- The importance of comprehensive functional lab testing and custom protocols for lasting results
