PMOS (PCOS) and Diet: What Can Nutrition Realistically Do? - SNP#50

In this episode, we examine what nutrition can realistically do in the condition historically known as PCOS, now renamed polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome, or PMOS. We begin by explaining why the name change matters: the condition is not defined by ovarian cysts, but is better understood as a broader endocrine-metabolic and ovarian syndrome involving insulin resistance, androgen excess, ovulatory dysfunction, metabolic risk, and psychological burden. We then assess the nutrition evidence, including energy restriction, weight loss, carbohydrate quality, glycaemic index and load, protein intake, fat quality, appetite regulation, fertility outcomes, and phenotype differences. Rather than seeking a single "PCOS diet", the episode asks which dietary features may plausibly help, how strong the evidence is, and where uncertainty remains. This is a Premium-exclusive episode.
