PCOS explained (ft. a top fertility doctor and lived experiences)
Too Much Information, the women's health podcastShow Notes
Is there a PMOS diet? Why is polycystic ovarian syndrome so misunderstood? What can I do to balance my hormones better? And, can I get pregnant with PMOS?
Please note, PCOS was re-named PMOS in 2026 following a global consensus. The new abbreviation stands for: Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome. This episode was recorded before this name change.
On this episode of Too Much Information, Issy speaks to Dr. Divpreet Sacha, GP and founder of Her Holistic Health, and Serena, creator of Let’s Talk PMOS. They're three women with three unique experiences of PMOS.
Together, they unpack the facts and myths about PMOS, fertility, hormones, and women’s health.
This episode is for you if you are: navigating a PMOS diagnosis confused about how to manage your PMOS trying to have a baby with PMOS looking for evidence-based support for hormones and fertility trying to support someone you love who has PMOS.
