The condition formerly known as PCOS now has a new name: PMOS, Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome. Published in The Lancet on 12 May 2026 (Teede, Piltonen, Dokras, Morman et al; doi:10.1016/S0140-6736(26)00717-8). The polycystic morphology on ultrasound was always a downstream finding, not the cause. This handbook is built on the 2023 International Evidence-Based Guideline (the current clinical reference until the 2028 update) and reflects the rename across cover, intent, and patient handouts.
Who it's for
Women's health dietitians, fertility clinic dietitians, endocrinology teams, GP practice dietitians, and clinicians whose patients arrive this week asking, "Do I still have PCOS, or PMOS now?"
What's inside
Clinical Guide . Rotterdam diagnostic criteria (still valid; AMH now an alternative to ultrasound), phenotype-based management including the lean PMOS phenotype (20-40% of patients, most underdiagnosed), insulin sensitivity assessment (HOMA-IR, OGTT), anti-inflammatory Mediterranean pattern, carbohydrate quality and timing, protein optimisation, lean-mass preservation, supplement evidence (myo-inositol + D-chiro ratio, NAC, omega-3, vitamin D, berberine), weight-management strategies when BMI is elevated, fertility nutrition, pregnancy after PMOS, menopause transition.
Patient Handout Pack . 12 handouts: what is PMOS (and why the rename), insulin sensitivity explained, the Mediterranean plate, carb quality not quantity, protein goal cheat sheet, which supplements are actually evidence-based, lifestyle medicine, managing cravings, PMOS and fertility, PMOS and pregnancy, skin and hair nutrition, and shopping list.
Recipe Collection . 35 low-GL, anti-inflammatory, Mediterranean-style recipes with carb quality and protein highlighted.
Evidence base
2026 Lancet global consensus paper (Teede, Piltonen, Dokras, Morman et al; Global Name Change Consortium). 2023 International Evidence-Based Guideline (Monash University Centre for Health Research and Implementation, in partnership with ESHRE, ASRM and ESE), Endocrine Society guidance. Cooney et al. 2017 mental health meta-analysis. Lim et al. 2019 Cochrane lifestyle review.
What you save
The time it takes to filter Instagram myths from actual evidence, and the cost of arriving at the next consult unprepared for the rename question. A supplement conversation grounded in the 2023 guideline and the 2026 Lancet consensus.
