Getting diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), now called PMOS (polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome), tends to bring up a lot of long-term health questions. One of the most common questions I get as a dietitian is “can PMOS cause cancer?” I’m Tallene, a Registered Dietitian who has PMOS. I help women make sense of what’s […]
Hi, I’m Tallene. I’m a Registered Dietitian who specializes in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), now called polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS), and who also lives with PMOS. One of the questions I get asked a lot by women I work with is “where does PMOS hair grow?” Coarse hair growth on the face and body […]
Most of us hear about PCOS (now called PMOS) when we’re younger, whether that’s during our teen years or in our 20s. So when symptoms show up in your 30s or 40s, it feels confusing. Suddenly your cycle is irregular, you’re gaining weight no matter what you do, you’re breaking out or losing hair, and […]
When you’re trying to understand what’s going on with your hormones, it’s really tempting to zero in on one single lab result. Maybe your testosterone came back high, your fasting insulin looks “normal,” or you’ve been staring at your LH and FSH numbers trying to figure out what they mean. But with PMOS, one number […]
If you have PCOS (now called PMOS), you already know that “just eat healthy” is useless advice. What does healthy even mean when your body handles insulin and inflammation differently than everyone else at the table? That’s the question I get asked most, and it’s exactly why I put together these PMOS friendly recipes. I’m […]

I was diagnosed at 18 after a ruptured ovarian cyst and was told to take birth control and lose weight. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is now called polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS), and it’s a hormone […]
Women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), now called polyendocrine metabolic ovarian sydnrome (PMOS), are in a constant battle with hormone balance. High androgens can lead to acne and excess hair growth. Insulin resistance can lead to weight gain. Imbalanced estrogen and progesterone can lead to irregular cycles. It feels like one frustrating, never-ending cycle. There […]
If you were diagnosed with PCOS, you’ve probably seen the headlines by now, and you probably have questions. The condition we’ve all known as PCOS has officially been renamed, and I want to walk you through exactly what that means for you. Not the clinical version, the real one, from someone who has been living […]
If you’ve been reading about PCOS (now called PMOS) for any length of time, you’ve probably run into the idea that there are different “types.” And honestly? It can feel confusing fast. One article swears there are four types, another lists five, and none of them seem to agree. Here’s the truth I wish someone […]
If you’ve been eating the same way you always have, moving your body, doing everything “right,” and the scale keeps creeping up anyway, I want you to know something. You’re not imagining it, and you’re not “doing it wrong.” Weight changes with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), now called PMOS (polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome), can feel […]
