Have you ever felt like your body was working against you?

For decades, millions of women have been told to simply "eat less and exercise more" while struggling with irregular cycles, infertility, weight gain, insulin resistance, and metabolic issues. Now, a major medical journal is changing how we understand PCOS—and it's about much more than a name change.

In this episode of Glucose, Grit & Grace, Coaches Amber, Elaine, and Alane discuss why PCOS is now being recognized as a metabolic condition, what the new name, PMOS, means, and why so many women have spent years blaming themselves for something that was never their fault.

We discuss:

✔ Why PCOS is being renamed

✔ What metabolic dysfunction really means

✔ Why "eat less, move more" often fails

✔ The connection between insulin resistance and hormones

✔ The emotional toll of feeling like your body has failed you

✔ Why it's never too late to understand your body differently
