PMOS guide: https://www.vitalityoet.com/pmos

PCOS has officially been renamed PMOS - Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome - published in The Lancet on May 12th, 2026, after 14 years of global collaboration. In this episode I share my own PMOS story - cortisol-induced, stress-driven, and masked by birth control for years. 

What You'll Learn
Why PCOS was renamed PMOS and what each word in the new name actually means
Stephanie's personal cortisol-driven PMOS story — and how birth control masked it for years
What PMOS actually is, explained simply — androgens, the hormonal system, why symptoms happen
The four types of PMOS: insulin-resistant, adrenal/cortisol, inflammatory, and post-pill
The specific tests that reveal each type — including why fasting glucose misses most of them
Why the same diagnosis needs four different solutions
What the first move is for each type

If you've been eating clean, exercising, doing "everything right" — and still can't shift the belly fat in perimenopause — this episode is going to change the way you think about fat loss.

We're talking about the liver. Not just as a detox organ — but as the fat-burning, hormone-clearing, blood-sugar-buffering engine that perimenopause quietly starts to compromise.

In this episode:
👉 The 5 functions your liver performs that are critical to fat loss (and why most people know none of them)
👉 How estrogen decline directly impairs liver function — including the fatty liver-perimenopause connection
👉 The cortisol-insulin-inflammation triple threat and how it overloads your liver in this stage of life
👉 Why sluggish bile flow is quietly sabotaging your fat digestion and nutrient absorption
👉 4 evidence-based strategies to support your liver and get fat metabolism working again

Red light therapy. Cold plunges. Saunas. Your feed is full of them and women are spending thousands of dollars on these tools for fat loss and inflammation— but do they actually work? In this episode, I break down the real science behind all three tools: how they work, why some women get great results and others do not, and what you need to have in place before they will work for you.

Topics covered:
▪️ What red light therapy, cold plunges, and saunas actually do inside the body 
▪️ How each tool supports fat loss and why
▪️ How each tool reduces inflammation and why this matters so much post-menopause
▪️ Who gets results from these tools — and who needs to build the foundation first
▪️ Why women with high stress may feel worse, not better, from these tools
▪️ Specific considerations for perimenopause and post-menopause
▪️ A practical order and starting point for using these tools safely

• High A1C.

• Stubborn belly fat.

• Energy crashes by 2pm.

• Blood sugar swings  even when you're eating well.

Most women assume these are carb problems.

But there's something quietly driving your blood sugar that has nothing to do with how many carbs you're eating  and everything to do with your hormones, your stress load, your sleep, and your liver.

In this episode, we break down what blood sugar actually measures, why it gets harder to manage as estrogen declines, and what to do about it  without cutting out carbs

Mocktail Recipe: https://www.vitalityoet.com/holiday-detox-mocktails

In this episode of the Metabolism and Menopause Podcast, Stephanie pulls back the curtain on what alcohol actually does to a woman's body in perimenopause and menopause. This is not a lecture and it is not a sermon — it is honest education. By the end you will have the full science and the framework to make your own choice with eyes open.

You will learn:
How alcohol shuts down fat-burning the second it hits your bloodstream — and why your liver drops everything else to deal with it
How it tanks your testosterone levels
Why "the wine helps me sleep" is a  lie 
The cortisol rebound
The gut- inflammation loop 
And how to drink but still lose weight

If you have been doing everything right and watching the scale refuse to move, this episode might be the missing piece.
