PCOS is now Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS).

Diagnostic criteria include:

• Irregular menstrual cycles (ovulatory dysfunction).

• Hyperandrogenism (high testosterone) or clinical symptoms (e.g., acne, excessive facial hair).

• Antral Follicle Count (AFC) or Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH): An excess of follicles on ultrasound or elevated AMH levels.

Having this condition, especially if poorly managed, may increase cardiometabolic risks post-menopause.

Diet and lifestyle interventions can make a significant difference.

Trying the high protein pizza crust made with ground turkey, Italian spices, and a flax egg.

It’s pretty tasty!

Just a small sample of another amazing Integrative Medicine conference at the University of Arizona.

The speaker line up was phenomenal, as always. As a daily matcha enthusiast, I was especially excited to attend the matcha documentary.

Great food and inspiring integrative medicine talks from clinicians and researchers.

Clean air, clean water, and foods that won’t contribute to cancer are the foundations for health.

Environmental pollution, at minimum, contributes to hormone imbalance. It’s linked to the development of cardiovascular, metabolic, cognitive (Alzheimer’s), and immune (cancer) diseases.

Rolling back EPA protections and giving companies that produce glyphosate immunity to litigation does not make Americans healthier.

Follow the money.

When sadness, grief, anger, and despondency are overwhelming, I return to nature and connection.

What healing habit brings you joy?

Life can feel overwhelming some days, experiencing progressively more mental and emotional weight in the last 12 months.

I have to prioritize self-care over social media posts to maintain inner calm and stay centered.

My favorite way to lower stress and improve mood is to get outside and spend time in nature. Within minutes, I feel lighter and more connected to a higher purpose.

Whenever I travel, I make time for movement outdoors to help regulate circadian rhythms and improve parasympathetic nervous system response.

What’s your favorite nature walk?

Two phenomenal days at the Personalized Lifestyle Medicine Institute’s 2025 Thought Leaders conference.

Too many speakers to highlight, including Dr. Jeffrey Bland and Dr. Robert Lustig, discussing how the endocrine, cardiometabolic, and immune systems intersect and communicate to facilitate health or disease.

I was blown away by the speaker lineup and had to see Dr. Lustig in person after emailing him 13 years ago to ask how to most impact the chronic disease epidemic.

Dr. Lustig’s quick response and continual work to bring light to the social determinants of health inspired me to pursue degrees in functional nutrition.

I’m already registered for next year. It was that good.

Happy World Breastfeeding Week!

Did you know that duration of breastfeeding can impact the severity of symptoms in perimenopause and menopause?

Longer lactation suppresses ovulation, which can contribute to a later menopause with reduced hot flashes and night sweats.

While my nursing days are over, I love supporting younger women and educating them about health benefits of breastfeeding - for both mother and baby.

Do you think breastfeeding has positively affected your menopause transition?

Feeling more aches and pains after age 40?

This is NOT a normal part of female aging that you must accept. You CAN improve symptoms naturally.

As estrogen and progesterone levels fluctuate and eventually decrease into menopause, gut flora imbalances and other physiological shifts contribute to increased inflammation.

Joint and muscle pain, and even injuries like frozen shoulder and plantar fasciitis, can increase with inflammation in perimenopause.

🥦 Whole foods with LOTS of fiber-rich and nutrient-dense fruits and vegetables, healthy fats like omega-3 fatty acids, and lean protein GREATLY reduce inflammation and improve symptoms during perimenopause.

😴 Improving sleep quality and duration, circadian rhythm alignment, and stress resilience also help to balance hormones and keep inflammation down.

🏊‍♀️ Prioritizing movement with strength training and stretching can minimize aches after age 40.

🏋️‍♀️ You don’t need to “lift heavy” to experience positive results. Resistance exercise just needs to be consistent and comfortably challenging for you.

🧘‍♀️ Yoga is an excellent option to build strength - while also lowering stress and improving flexibility.

Weight training at the gym has helped me to increase strength after muscle atrophy following frozen shoulder, plantar fasciitis, and connective tissue challenges.

What dietary or lifestyle habit has been a game changer for you?
