I'm back after a summer off, and I'm easing back into the podcast with a quick update on where I've been, plus something big that happened in the PCOS community while I was away: PCOS officially started the process of becoming PMOS (Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovary Syndrome).

In this episode, I'm sharing my honest thoughts on the name change and what you need to know as someone with PCOS/PMOS moving forward.

I'm also sharing details on a free training I'm hosting this month:
