PCOS will soon have a new name — PMOS - Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome

And honestly? The change makes a lot of sense.

For years, the name Polycystic O***y Syndrome has caused confusion for both women and healthcare professionals. Many women with PCOS don’t actually have ovarian cysts, while others are told they “can’t have PCOS” because cysts weren’t seen on ultrasound.

But this condition has always been about far more than the ovaries.

Researchers and international experts are now proposing the name Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS) to better reflect what’s really happening in the body.

Because this condition is not just reproductive.
It’s metabolic.
Hormonal.
Inflammatory.
Whole-body.

PMOS recognises the wider picture:
• insulin resistance and blood sugar dysregulation
• androgen excess and hormonal imbalance
• inflammation
• ovulation dysfunction
• gut and metabolic health changes
• increased long-term risks for fertility, weight gain, mood disorders, cardiovascular disease, and type 2 diabetes

The proposed name change followed one of the largest global consensus processes ever undertaken for this condition, involving more than 14,000 patients and healthcare professionals worldwide.

And considering PMOS affects around 1 in 8 women, this matters.

Why?
Because names shape understanding.

When a condition is poorly named, it can:
• delay diagnosis
• minimise symptoms
• increase stigma
• narrow treatment approaches
• reduce research and funding focus

Many women have spent years being told:
“Your scans are normal.”
“Just lose weight.”
“You’re too young to worry.”
“It’s only a fertility issue.”

But PMOS acknowledges what many women have experienced all along:
this is a complex endocrine and metabolic condition that deserves a more accurate framework.

The name change will slowly occur over three years, and while the change happens, let’s keep the conversation going — because women deserve better understanding, earlier support, and more comprehensive care.

The most overlooked sleep tool for perimenopausal women has little to do with what you do at night.

It starts the moment you open your eyes.

Your body runs on a 24-hour internal clock — your circadian rhythm. It controls when cortisol rises, when melatonin is released, when your body temperature drops, and when sleep pressure builds.

In perimenopause, this clock becomes significantly more vulnerable. Declining progesterone disrupts melatonin production. Fluctuating oestrogen affects your cortisol curve. The hormonal buffer that used to hold your rhythm steady starts to thin.
The result? You cannot fall asleep. Or you fall asleep and wake at 2am completely wired. Or you sleep eight hours and wake exhausted.
This is not a willpower problem. It is a circadian one.
Here is what the research consistently shows.
Your circadian clock is reset every morning by light — specifically, natural light hitting specialised photoreceptive cells in your retina within 30 minutes of waking. This single signal tells your brain to suppress melatonin now, start a biological timer to release it again tonight, and regulate your cortisol rhythm for the rest of the day.
No light exposure in the morning means a delayed, weaker, less reliable melatonin signal at night.
And consistent wake times matter just as much. Your circadian rhythm is anchored by regularity. A one-hour sleep-in on the weekend is enough to shift your internal clock — and in perimenopause, where hormonal resilience is already reduced, that shift is felt all week.
The morning protocol is simple:
☀️ Same wake time every day — including weekends
☀️ Outside within 30 minutes of waking
☀️ 10 minutes minimum, no sunglasses
☀️ Overcast days still count — outdoor light is significantly stronger than indoor light even through clouds
☀️ Phone down until after your light exposure
You are not fixing your sleep at night. You are programming it in the morning.

Start there.

Sometimes we need to focus on what we don’t need.

If you feel bloated, foggy, tired, and inflamed — and your blood tests keep coming back normal — I want you to read this carefully.
Because the answer might not be in your bloods. It might be in your gut lining.
There is a physiological process called metabolic endotoxemia. It happens when the gut lining becomes compromised and bacterial breakdown products — specifically a molecule called LPS — pass from the gut into the bloodstream.
Your gut drains directly into your liver. So those toxins reach your liver first, then your systemic circulation, then every organ in your body.
Research shows that a gut affected by dysbiosis or SIBO can carry up to ten times more LPS in the bloodstream than a healthy gut. Ten times.
And what does that look like from the outside?
It can look like chronic fatigue that sleep does not fix.
It can look like brain fog that has gradually worsened over years.
It can look like skin flares, mood instability, weight that will not shift.
It can look like inflammation with no obvious cause.
This is not meant to alarm you. It is meant to explain you.
The gut is not just where digestion happens. It is the foundation of your systemic health — influencing your hormones, your liver, your immune system, your nervous system, and your brain.
When we work on the gut first, we are not ignoring everything else. We are starting where the evidence tells us to start.

This is one of my favourite liver-loving, high-protein salads.

Beef provides the amino acids your liver needs to run detoxification pathways — because your body simply can’t detox without adequate protein. Phase II liver detox relies on amino acids like glycine, taurine and cysteine to bind and eliminate toxins safely.

Brussels sprouts and leafy green vegetables support those same pathways by activating key liver enzymes and helping regulate oestrogen metabolism.

Real detox isn’t juice cleanses. It’s protein + plants + consistency.
Beef & Brussels Sprout Salad

Serves 2

Ingredients

300g beef sirloin or rump steak
10–12 Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
6–8 asparagus spears, trimmed and cut in half
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cup shredded green or white cabbage
½ cup shredded carrot
1 cup mixed leafy greens (rocket, baby spinach or similar)
1 tbsp olive oil (for cooking)
Sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper

For the dressing
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp red wine vinegar (or balsamic vinegar)
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 small garlic clove, minced
Pinch sea salt

To finish
Fresh parsley, finely chopped

Method
1. Cook the beef
Bring steak to room temperature. Season generously with salt and pepper.
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a pan over medium–high heat. Sear beef for 2–3 minutes per side (medium-rare) or to your liking.
Remove from heat, rest for 5–7 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.
2. Prepare the vegetables
In the same pan, lightly sauté Brussels sprouts and asparagus for 3–4 minutes until just tender but still vibrant. You want colour, not softness.
Alternatively, you can roast them at 200°C for 15–18 minutes for a deeper flavour.
3. Assemble the salad
In a large bowl, combine cabbage, carrot, leafy greens and cherry tomatoes.
Add the warm Brussels sprouts and asparagus.
4. Make the dressing
Whisk together olive oil, vinegar, Dijon, garlic and salt until emulsified.
5. Finish
Toss the salad lightly with the dressing.
Divide between two bowls and top with sliced beef.
Finish with fresh parsley and an extra crack of black pepper.

“All disease begins in the gut.”
— Hippocrates

It’s a bold statement. And while not every condition is caused by the gut, many are influenced by it.

Migraines.
Thyroid dysfunction.
Autoimmune conditions.
Depression and anxiety.
Skin issues.
Fatigue.
Joint pain.
Even ADHD presentations.

Your gut isn’t just a digestive tube. It’s an immune organ, a hormone regulator, a neurotransmitter factory and a key driver of inflammation.

Around 70% of your immune system lives in the gut.
A significant portion of serotonin is produced there.
Oestrogen metabolism is influenced there.
Inflammatory signalling often begins there.

So when I’m supporting women with complex, seemingly unrelated symptoms, gut health is almost always one of the first places we start.

Not because it’s trendy.
Because it’s foundational.

Heal the gut, reduce inflammation, improve nutrient absorption, support the microbiome — and you often create ripple effects across the entire body.

Prevention. Foundation. Root cause.

That’s how we build real health.

If you’re craving something sweet in the afternoon but don’t want the blood sugar crash… this is it.

These Matcha Protein Bliss Balls combine protein, healthy fats and antioxidant-rich matcha to support energy, focus and metabolic stability — especially helpful in midlife when cortisol and blood sugar fluctuations can drive fatigue and cravings.

Matcha contains L-theanine, which supports calm focus without the jittery spike of coffee. Pair that with quality protein and fats, and you have a snack that works with your hormones, not against them.

Simple ingredients. No fillers. No refined sugar. Just functional nutrition you can actually make in 10 minutes.

Matcha Protein Bliss Balls

Makes: 10–12 balls
Prep time: 10 minutes
Set time: 20 minutes

In a world of wellness noise, The Health Reset is about coming back to fundamentals.

I work with women 35+ navigating weight gain, fatigue, gut issues, perimenopause and metabolic changes — using clinical nutrition, naturopathic principles, muscle-first metabolism, and evidence-based supplementation where needed.

Not extreme detoxes.
Not influencer trends.
Not unsustainable protocols.

Just simple, repeatable habits done consistently — because that’s what actually changes your biology.

Longevity isn’t built in 30 days.
It’s built in your daily choices.

Good food = Good Mood

Our body functions according to the nutrients that it has access to. Without a constant supply of vitamin, minerals, essential fatty acids, macro nutrients and antioxidants, our body will not be able to function at its full potential.
Your diet has EVERYTHING to do with your health, regardless what your doctor might tell you.

It doesn’t have to be complicated, despite what the wellness industry likes to portray. Fear mongering is designed to confuse you and make you feel the only solution is complex testing and expensive supplement protocols.
When I studied to become a naturopath nearly 20 years ago, I was in one of the last cohorts who learnt the traditional naturopathic healing protocols. Whilst testing can be crucial, especially for those who have a complex health history, or have tried ‘everything’, it doesn’t need to be your first step. For the past 15 years I have seen traditional gut healing protocols work wonders for clients health, not just their gut health, but their whole body health. And yes, I do use supplements, but carefully selected ones for the individual.
Following to break through the hype, and the fear mongering to find evidence based solutions that are sustainable for long lasting health.
