Hi there,
For the past 4 years, this newsletter has tried to give you an explanation of PMOS that most of us never received at diagnosis.
Many of you have written to me saying something similar: you have read everything, tried a lot, and still don’t feel you have the full picture of what is happening in your body.
So I have spent the last year turning that explanation into something more complete:
The full picture - a set of modules that takes each PMOS symptom in turn, explains what is driving it, and shows you what the evidence says you can do about it.
Today I’d like to share the first piece of it with you, for free.
In this free module, I walk through how a normal cycle works, step by step: how the brain signals the ovaries, how a single follicle is selected to mature, what triggers ovulation and what happens afterwards. It is the foundation that everything else sits on.
Where it goes next
The rest of that story lives in The Full Collection: seven modules, each focused on one part of PMOS, plus a Foundation Module that connects them.
Most of us have been handed advice without the reasoning behind it, so we try everything and never know what is working. These modules give you the reasoning: what is driving your symptoms, what the evidence supports, and where to focus first.
You don’t have to get all of the modules: pick and choose the symptoms that you experience
The Foundation Module: why PMOS is a whole-body condition - FREE, included with each purchase
The Cycle Module: irregular, late or absent periods
The Androgen Module: acne and unwanted hair growth
The Metabolism Module: insulin resistance, weight and energy
The Fatigue Module: why exhaustion in PMOS is rarely just about sleep
The Mood Module: anxiety, mood shifts and PMS
The Fertility Module: ovulation, conception and pregnancy
What changes when you understand your PMOS
By the end, you will:
Know what is driving your symptoms, so you can focus your time, energy and money where the evidence points, rather than trying everything at once
Know which lifestyle changes are worth your effort for your symptoms, and which you can let go of
Know which supplements have good evidence behind them, at what doses, and which ones you can stop buying
Understand your medication options, so you can have an informed conversation with your doctor instead of accepting or declining something you don’t fully understand
Walk into appointments knowing which tests to ask about and what your results mean
Understand why standard advice may not have worked for you, so you can stop blaming yourself for it
This is the understanding that helped me go from two periods a year to a regular cycle, pregnancy, and a healthy lifestyle.
