Millions of women have been told they have PCOS. Millions more have been told nothing is wrong at all.Now, one of the most common hormonal conditions affecting women has a new name: PMOS, Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome. The change reflects what experts have long understood, this condition is about far more than the ovaries. It's deeply connected to metabolism, insulin resistance, inflammation, and hormone balance.In this episode, Dr. Mindy is joined by Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi, renowned OB-GYN and co-host of the She MD podcast, along with entrepreneur and women's health advocate Mary Alice Haney. Together, they unpack why so many women go undiagnosed, why insulin resistance isn't always visible on the outside, and how lifestyle, nutrition, and early intervention can dramatically change a woman's health trajectory.They also discuss the growing impact of environmental toxins, breast cancer risk, fertility, metabolic dysfunction, and what every woman should know before walking into her next doctor's appointment.In this episode you'll learn: Why PCOS was renamed to PMOS and what the change means The three criteria used to diagnose PMOS Why up to 80% of women with PMOS remain undiagnosed How insulin resistance affects both lean and overweight women Why birth control alone doesn't address the root cause of PMOS Practical nutrition, lifestyle, and medical approaches to improving insulin sensitivity How to become a stronger advocate for your own healthcare More on Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi & Mary Alice Haney:IG: @shemdpodcastIG: @drthaisaliabadiIG: @haneyofficialIG: @oviihealthshemdpodcast.comdraliabadi.comovii.comFor more resources related to today's episode, visit the podcast episode page: drmindypelz.com/ep353Connect with Dr. Mindy:Join Reset AcademyWatch the episodes on YouTubeFollow Dr. Mindy on InstagramSubscribe to Dr. Mindy's newsletterDisclaimer: This podcast is intended for educational and informational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical advice.

"The idea of metabolic scoring is to take guilt out of the picture. Because this is not anyone's fault. It's basically a cosmic shift in just our whole lifestyle here in Western civilization." — Dr. Ron HunninghakeIn this episode of the Real Health Podcast, Dr. Ron Hunninghake and Dr. Drew Rose discuss the complexities of metabolic syndrome, its prevalence in the Western world, and the lifestyle factors contributing to it. They emphasize the importance of identifying root causes and implementing personalized health strategies to combat this growing epidemic.
Bone Health Beyond Calcium: Vitamin D, K, Protein, Medications, and Metabolic Risks: Registered dietitian nutritionist Leyla Muedin discusses factors affecting bone health, osteopenia/osteoporosis, and limitations of bone mineral density as a measure of bone strength. She emphasizes optimizing vitamin D via 25-hydroxy D testing (aiming roughly 55–85 and avoiding over 100), ensuring vitamin K for proper calcium placement, and addressing malabsorption from GI conditions, food intolerances, or inflammation. She notes long-term proton pump inhibitor use can impair calcium and magnesium absorption and increase osteoporosis risk. Diet considerations include avoiding overly grain-heavy, acid-forming patterns and ensuring high biological value protein; she also mentions heavy metals affecting bones. Additional assessment includes magnesium and DHEA sulfate, plus resistance and balance training (ideally three times weekly). She highlights research linking hyperinsulinemia/type 2 diabetes/cardiovascular disease to fragility fractures despite normal or higher bone density, proposing carbohydrate restriction, fasting, and ketosis to improve bone remodeling via osteocalcin and mitochondrial function.
“Physical activity is really such a linchpin in being able to change the trajectory of how you age.” — Dr. Susan Brian “Resistance training is probably your most proactive tool under your control for trying to reduce your risk of developing metabolic syndrome.” — Dr. Jocelyn Wittstein Key Links & Resources Subscribe to Age Better Cheat Sheet on Substack HERE Follow Barbara Hannah Grufferman on Instagram HERE Follow Dr. Susan Brian on Instagram HERE Follow Dr. Jocelyn Wittstein on Instagram HERE Episode Summary Metabolic syndrome is not one single disease. It's a cluster of warning signs — including waist size, blood pressure, triglycerides, HDL cholesterol, and blood sugar — that together can tell a much bigger story about your health. And for women in their 60s, this matters because metabolic syndrome is not just about lab numbers. It can affect your risk for type 2 diabetes, heart disease, fatty liver disease, sleep apnea, inflammation, bone health, muscle quality, mobility, and physical capacity. In this episode of AGE BETTER, I talk with two leading physicians: Dr. Susan Brian, a board-certified endocrinologist and menopause specialist, and Dr. Jocelyn Wittstein, an orthopedic surgeon and sports medicine specialist at Duke. Together, they explain why metabolic syndrome becomes more common after menopause, how visceral fat and insulin resistance can affect the body, and why this issue is deeply connected to how strong, mobile, energetic, and independent you feel as you age. You'll learn: What metabolic syndrome is and why having three of the five key markers matters Why insulin resistance is often at the center of the pattern How menopause can shift fat storage toward more visceral belly fat Why metabolic health and musculoskeletal health are closely connected How metabolic syndrome can affect muscle, bone, joints, stamina, and frailty risk Why muscle is so important for blood sugar control Why walking, strength training, and “starting somewhere” can make a real difference What to ask your clinician if you think you may have metabolic syndrome or be heading in that direction Where GLP-1 medications may fit for some women — and why strength training matters if weight loss is part of the plan The big takeaway: metabolic syndrome is not just about weight. It's about how your body is functioning — and the earlier you recognize the pattern, the more opportunity you have to change the trajectory. Dr. Brian encourages women to know their numbers, advocate for themselves, and figure out what kind of physical activity they can do consistently. Dr. Wittstein emphasizes resistance training, starting where you are, and building the right team around you — because protecting muscle, bone, mobility, and strength is central to aging better.

Commentary by Dr. Jian'an Wang.
Sleep, Glymphatic Detox, and the Hidden Heart Risks of Sleep Apnea: Nutritionist Leyla Muedin explains how sleep supports brain “housekeeping” via the glymphatic system, a glial-lymphatic waste-clearance network most active during sleep that moves cerebrospinal fluid through brain spaces to remove metabolites and toxic proteins such as amyloid beta, with sleep deprivation linked to amyloid accumulation. She notes other clearance pathways, including meningeal lymphatic vessels, whose impaired function is associated with neurodegenerative disease and brain injury. Reviews of human studies suggest sleep influences glymphatic outcomes, though results are inconsistent and methods vary. She emphasizes that poor sleep is associated with dementia risk, depressive symptoms, cardiovascular events, mortality, and impaired glucose metabolism, and highlights lifestyle strategies that may improve sleep. She warns that untreated obstructive sleep apnea accelerates cardiovascular aging via intermittent hypoxia and inflammation, raising blood pressure and cardiovascular event risk, while treatment (e.g., CPAP) may halt or reverse damage.
Metabolic syndrome now affects about 1 in 4 adults worldwide, with cases rising rapidly across nearly every country and age group, which means your personal risk is higher than it was just a generation ago The condition develops silently through a combination of abdominal fat, high blood sugar, high blood pressure, and abnormal cholesterol, often without clear symptoms until damage is already underway Your daily habits drive the condition, as processed foods, low movement, chronic stress, and poor sleep disrupt how your body produces and uses energy Insulin resistance sits at the center of the problem, creating a chain reaction that affects your metabolism, blood vessels, and hormone balance all at once You can reverse the trajectory by restoring cellular energy through better food choices, eliminating seed oils, increasing daily movement, getting regular sunlight, and improving sleep and stress control
Perimenopause, Insulin Resistance, and Persistent Muscle & Joint Pain: A Functional Medicine Framework: Nutritionist Leyla Muedin discusses perimenopausal musculoskeletal symptoms—new or persistent joint pain, muscle aches, and tendon problems—and highlights a Clinician's Journal article by physical therapist Tara Moore proposing insulin resistance screening in perimenopausal musculoskeletal care. She explains that declining estradiol during the menopausal transition can worsen insulin signaling, increase visceral fat, and reduce insulin sensitivity, affecting skeletal muscle recovery and potentially contributing to tendinopathies and poor or short-lived responses to localized treatments like PT. The framework emphasizes assessing systemic metabolic contributors (e.g., sedentary behavior, high-carbohydrate nutrition patterns, PCOS, central weight gain, stress, sleep disruption) and addressing mediators such as inflammation and impaired glucose utilization. She suggests integrating metabolic risk assessment, sleep and stress strategies, resistance training, and interdisciplinary referrals, arguing that nutrition and supplementation—especially a low-carb approach—may improve recovery and pain outcomes.
Episode 4136 │ June 2, 2026 Dr. Joel Wallach reveals why obesity, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome are nutritional deficiency diseases — and why medicine profits from keeping you sick. In this featured presentation, veterinarian and physician Dr. Joel Wallach delivers his landmark Hell's Kitchen talk — a systematic breakdown of why obesity, type 2 diabetes, and metabolic syndrome are not genetic failures or lifestyle weaknesses, but predictable outcomes of mineral-depleted food and a medical system with no financial incentive to cure what it can manage. Wallach draws on four decades of animal and human research, including 17,500 autopsies across 454 species, to show that the same nutritional formulas that eliminated disease in livestock apply directly to human metabolism. He traces the collapse of dietary minerals to the modern electric kitchen, documents USDA data showing catastrophic nutrient loss in American food from 1975 to 2004, and explains the suppressed 1957 discovery that adult onset type 2 diabetes can be prevented and reversed with two trace minerals. He also dismantles the conventional warnings on salt, cholesterol, eggs, and exercise — and profiles the common traits of people who live well past 100. What is Hell's Kitchen — and how did the modern electric stove trigger a cascade of metabolic disease in America? What causes obesity and type 2 diabetes at the nutritional level, and why have doctors ignored the cure since 1957? Why do the longest-lived people on earth share low carbohydrate intake and daily mineral replenishment? Does salt cause high blood pressure — what does the government's own sodium study actually conclude? Why have professional athletes never lived to 100, while sedentary people routinely do?

In this episode of the Flex Diet Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Nathan Jenkins to discuss how to improve performance, body composition, and long-term health through the lens of aerobic development and metabolic flexibility. Nathan shares his journey from exercise physiology and coaching CrossFit athletes to his new role teaching physiology at the University of Georgia School of Medicine. We discuss why metabolic flexibility is such a powerful framework for understanding everything from biochemistry and exercise performance to metabolic disease. We also dive into interpreting maximal exercise testing data, including VO₂ measurements, EKG analysis, and near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), along with how different energy systems work together during training and competition. Nathan explains why building an aerobic base is critical for repeated high-intensity performance, how pacing impacts outcomes, and why the ability to "suffer" is actually a trainable skill. To wrap up, we cover practical strategies you can apply right away, including prioritizing protein and carbohydrates, improving sleep quality, and addressing common micronutrient deficiencies through blood work, such as magnesium, vitamin D, and omega-3 status.

Why do your symptoms keep coming back… even when you're doing the "right" things? You clean up your diet. You take the supplements. You commit to the routine. You start feeling better. But the bloating comes back. The energy crashes return. The inflammation flares again. Or a completely different symptom shows up. And suddenly it feels like you're taking one step forward and two steps back. In this episode of The Health Made Simple Show, Dr. Bart explains why this pattern is so common (and why chronic symptoms usually require more than one quick fix). He breaks down what a "syndrome" really means, and why conditions like MCAS, leaky gut, IBS, metabolic syndrome, and chronic fatigue often involve multiple issues happening at the same time. In this episode, you'll learn: Why one supplement, medication, diet, or cleanse rarely solves chronic symptoms What your body may be trying to tell you when symptoms keep returning Why the order of healing matters just as much as the tools you use How stress, toxins, gut dysfunction, sleep, and lifestyle habits can all compound over time Why a personalized, root-cause strategy is often the missing link If you've been doing "all the right things" but still don't feel like yourself, this episode will help you start seeing the bigger picture.
Send us Fan MailPCOS has officially been renamed PMOS, or Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome — but does the new name actually change the way patients are diagnosed and treated?In this episode of Taco Bout Fertility Tuesday, Dr. Mark Amols explains why polycystic ovary syndrome was always a misleading name, how PCOS got its name from the historic Stein-Leventhal description, and why the “cysts” in PCOS are usually follicles rather than true ovarian cysts. He breaks down why the new name, PMOS, better reflects the real condition: a lifelong endocrine and metabolic disorder involving insulin resistance, androgen excess, ovulatory dysfunction, diabetes risk, cholesterol, blood pressure, endometrial cancer risk, sleep apnea, fertility, and long-term health.Dr. Amols also discusses whether this name change is a true medical breakthrough or simply a rebranding of PCOS. While the diagnostic criteria have not dramatically changed, the hope is that the new name will push the medical community to stop treating PCOS as only a fertility problem and start managing it as a full-body metabolic disorder.If you have PCOS, PMOS, irregular periods, insulin resistance, elevated testosterone, acne, hirsutism, difficulty losing weight, or fertility concerns, this episode explains what the name change means — and what better care should actually look like.Thanks for tuning in to another episode of 'Taco Bout Fertility Tuesday' with Dr. Mark Amols.

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 5-14-2026: An emailer from Switzerland follows up on the case of neurological symptoms, warning about the fox tapeworm Echinococcus multilocularis from unwashed garden vegetables and tick-borne encephalitis requiring the FSME vaccine available in Europe. Dr. Dawn adds that cysticercosis from undercooked pork leaves calcified brain lesions detectable on CT scans. Dr. Dawn covers the Andes hantavirus outbreak that sickened at least eleven people on a cruise ship, with the virus spreading person-to-person unlike other hantaviruses. She explains that Andes virus grows to unusually high levels in blood and resists antimicrobial compounds in human saliva, with super-spreaders driving transmission chains. British paratroopers had to parachute medical supplies to an infected passenger on remote Tristan da Cunha island. Dr. Dawn reviews brain health supplements with UCLA longevity expert Gary Small. Both recommend curcumin (500-1,000mg) for anti-inflammatory effects and CoQ10 for statin users. She endorses multivitamins and high-quality fish oil but considers creatine, phosphatidylserine, and nicotinamide riboside insufficiently proven for cognitive enhancement. A caller asks about supplements and testosterone for a 77-year-old. Dr. Dawn recommends topical testosterone (patches, creams, gels) over injections to avoid testicular shrinkage and elevated sex hormone-binding globulin. She emphasizes protein intake matching one's age in grams, branched-chain amino acids during exercise, and warns against fasted training after age 65. An emailer shares news that PCOS is being renamed to polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS) because many patients lack ovarian cysts, and genetic males can also have the condition. Dr. Dawn explains it's fundamentally an endocrine and metabolic disorder involving insulin resistance, elevated testosterone, and DHEA dysregulation. A study found that infrasound—low-frequency sound below human hearing range—elevated cortisol and worsened mood in subjects who didn't know and couldn't detect it was playing. Old buildings generate infrasound through aging boilers, ventilation ducts, and metal pipes, potentially explaining why, beyond autosuggestion, that old "haunted" houses feel spooky.

Gary Taubes on Rethinking Diabetes: Diet, Insulin, and the History Behind Low-Carb Treatment: Journalist Gary Taubes is author of “Rethinking Diabetes: What Science Reveals About Diet, Insulin, and Successful Treatments.” The book traces diabetes treatment history and argues that carbohydrate restriction was standard care from 1797 through the early 20th century until insulin therapy shifted practice toward drug-centered management and higher-carbohydrate diets. Taubes explains how insulin's discovery changed dietary priorities, how later technology (radioimmunoassay) revealed that most diabetes is type 2 with insulin resistance and high insulin rather than deficiency, and why giving more insulin can worsen weight gain. They discuss major trials (including ACCORD, ADVANCE, and Look AHEAD) that failed to show benefits from intensive drug-based glucose control, the influence of low-fat guidelines, Richard Bernstein's role in blood-glucose self-monitoring and low-carb control, controversies about obesity models, ketosis vs ketoacidosis, GLP-1 drugs, and LDL increases on ketogenic diets.

Registered dietitian nutritionist Leyla Muedin discusses how exposure to natural daylight may improve metabolic health beyond diet and exercise, highlighting a controlled crossover study of 13 adults aged 65+ with type 2 diabetes published in Cell Metabolism. Participants spent 4.5 days in living spaces lit by either natural light through large windows or artificial light, with identical meals, sleep, activity, and screen time; after a 4-week washout they switched conditions. Natural light was associated with more hours of blood glucose in the normal range, less glucose variability, higher evening melatonin, and improved fat oxidative metabolism, suggesting effects on circadian “body clocks” and coordination between central and peripheral clocks. Muedin recommends getting morning light on the face, reducing sunglasses and high SPF use, dimming lights at night, keeping consistent sleep, and spending more time outdoors; she also notes that architecture can limit sunlight exposure.

Darius Sharpe has spent over two decades watching the same patients cycle through emergency rooms with the same conditions, the same medications, and the same unaddressed root cause. As a paramedic-turned-ER nurse, he started asking a question nobody around him wanted to answer: why are we treating the result instead of the cause?What followed was years of self-experimentation — continuous glucose monitors, serial lab draws, coronary imaging — on a man who, by every outward measure, looked like a picture of health. What he found in his own bloodwork challenged assumptions held across every nutritional camp.BIG IDEA: As long as diabetes exists, you will have heart disease — no matter how low you drive your LDL.Send Dr. Ovadia a Text Message.

Equine Metabolic Syndrome (EMS) and Insulin Resistance (IR) are just words to most horse owners. We hear them, and we hope our horse doesn't "get them" attached to their health report. Even the veterinarians get a bit confused about how horses get started on the path of poor metabolic health. Expressions are created that lack meaning, such as "sugar is evil." If it were, why does it exist? So, I did some digging, surprising myself to find that what was taught to me in vet school over 40 years ago has recently been turned on its head! Here is one example: there is no such thing as lactic acidosis in muscles caused by anaerobic exercise (low oxygen). Insulin resistance is a normal, regulatory process that ensures our cells receive the right amount of fuel. In this podcast, I explain how understanding this can transform the way you feed your horses, improving their health and saving you money. Clear, science-based insights will help you cut through the confusion often found in barn conversations, magazines, and social media. We want the best for our horses, both in their health and in their performance. We are conditioned by marketing to believe we should add products to fix a problem, when that is rarely effective. For example, if your car's engine lacked power, you wouldn't add more fuel tanks to make it run better. Yet, that's what happens when different feeds and supplements are added to a horse's diet—it doesn't solve the problem and can worsen it. Listen to this podcast a few times and take notes, as I did to create it. #horses #veterinary #horseteeth #horsecare Please join our FREE community here: The Horse's Advocate Community page For more information about dentistry for horses: Dr. Tucker's Dentistry Practice Information about The Horsemanship Dentistry School Follow us on Facebook Learn more at Instagram Geoff Tucker is a veterinarian and horseman who has worked with horses since 1973. He earned his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from Cornell University in 1984. Over the years, Geoff went from mucking stalls as a farmhand to starting his own equine practice. This journey helped him learn how to blend medical care with good horsemanship. Geoff believes in doing what is best for the horse and in working with the horse. While at Cornell, he started the Cornell Student Horseman's Association, which organized talks with local experts, a knowledge competition called the Intercollegiate Horse Bowl, and Foal Watch at the Equine Research Park to help with live foal deliveries. Wanting to educate horse owners even more, Geoff also launched the first "I Love New York Horse Symposium," which drew 500 people from across the northeast. Geoff also spent time working at the Equine Isolation Lab with respected colleagues, including Dr. Coggins, whose name is on the well-known test. He worked both part-time and full-time at Cornell's Equine Research Park. On graduation day in 1984, while his classmates celebrated, Geoff drove his fully stocked vet truck to his first call—a sick foal. This marked the beginning of The Finger Lakes Equine Practice, which still operates today. Geoff sold the practice in 1996, worked for a short time at another clinic near Albany, NY, and then started The Equine Practice, focusing on equine dentistry. He continues this work from his base in South Florida. Geoff worked on his first horse's teeth in 1983, when his mentor showed him how to place his hand inside a horse's mouth without medication and rasp off the offending sharp points. He was hooked from the start and made dentistry a key part of his practice. Since then, he has examined the mouths of over 84,000 horses across the United States - yes, he's been counting.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Dr. Paul Kolodzik of Metabolic MD.
How Continuous Glucose Monitors Can Optimize Metabolic Health—and Where GLP-1 Drugs Fit: Emergency physician-turned-preventive/metabolic medicine specialist Dr. Paul Kolodzik of Metabolic MD reveals how continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) are a tool not only for diabetics but also for non-diabetics and pre-diabetics to personalize diet, sleep, and exercise by seeing real-time glucose patterns instead of relying on fingersticks or A1c averages. Kolodzik describes CGM use in his clinic (two-week diagnostic wear, then therapeutic guidance), highlights insulin resistance, fasting insulin testing, glucose variability, and the role of low-carb eating, intermittent fasting, and strength training to improve metabolic syndrome, triglycerides, and fatty liver. They discuss CGM sourcing/cost, device mechanics and accuracy, possible future noninvasive wearables, and GLP-1/GIP weight-loss drugs, emphasizing supervised, limited-dose use with protein and lifestyle changes to avoid muscle loss and weight regain. A free PDF of Kolodzik's book is offered HERE.
Registered dietitian nutritionist Leyla Muedin discusses a New England Journal of Medicine paper (July 2024, cited via Holistic Primary Care) warning about drug-induced magnesium depletion, especially from diuretics, proton pump inhibitors (e.g., Nexium, Prilosec), and certain antibiotics. She notes magnesium is often not routinely measured despite links between deficiency and cardiovascular, metabolic, and neurological problems, including arrhythmias (AFib, long QT, torsades), endothelial dysfunction, and longer ICU stays. Prevalence estimates range from 7–11% (up to 20%) in hospitalized patients and 2–4% among outpatients, with higher rates among long-term PPI and diuretic users. She reviews symptoms and causes, explains limits of serum magnesium testing, highlights associations with diabetes, alcohol use, low potassium and calcium, and outlines evaluation options and oral repletion approaches, favoring better-absorbed forms like magnesium glycinate over oxide due to diarrhea risk.

In this evidence-packed episode, Dr. Scott Watier and Tommy Welling dissect a December 2025 systematic review and meta-analysis from Frontiers in Nutrition examining how intermittent fasting improves metabolic syndrome outcomes compared to traditional calorie restriction. They reveal that participants with metabolic syndrome—defined as having three or more risk factors including elevated waist circumference, high triglycerides, low HDL, elevated blood pressure, and high fasting glucose—experienced significant improvements in fasting blood glucose, A1C, insulin resistance, LDL cholesterol, and inflammatory markers with high certainty of evidence when using various IF protocols. The hosts explain why smart, experienced people spend years tracking and counting calories yet feel stuck, emphasizing that intermittent fasting addresses the root drivers of metabolic dysfunction rather than just creating a caloric deficit through willpower and restriction. They demonstrate how modified alternate-day fasting showed 50-100% greater reductions in inflammatory markers over 16 weeks, and why time-restricted eating delivers faster blood sugar improvements, providing practical guidance on matching your fasting pattern to your metabolic profile while focusing on beneath-the-surface changes happening long before the scale or the world can see them.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Dr. Bret Scher, medical director of the Coalition for Metabolic Health.
Dr. Bret Scher, medical director of the Coalition for Metabolic Health, discusses making metabolic health the foundation of medicine amid rising obesity and type 2 diabetes and reports that 93% of Americans have suboptimal metabolic health. Scher defines metabolic health using markers including glucose, insulin, triglycerides, HDL, blood pressure, and waist size, and cites evidence linking insulin resistance to heart disease, stroke, cancer, psychiatric illness, and other complications. They discuss simple self- and lab-assessments (waist-to-height ratio, fasting insulin with glucose/HOMA-IR, triglyceride-to-HDL ratio, CGMs). Scher critiques the Eat Lancet report for assuming one optimal diet, reliance on low-quality nutrition epidemiology, potential nutrient shortfalls, and environmental oversimplification, while supporting newer dietary guidelines that allow lower-carb approaches. Part two covers contradictory nutrition studies, distinctions between low-carb and ketogenic diets, emerging “metabolic psychiatry” and ketogenic therapy for mental illness and cognitive decline, limits and rebound risks of GLP-1 drugs, and Coalition efforts to improve school food and influence policy.
