O***y Active is a nonprofit dedicated to increasing awareness, education, and support for PMOS.

When you were first diagnosed with PMOS, what do you wish someone had told you? 💗

Maybe it’s something you wish you had known about your symptoms. Maybe you wish someone had explained that PMOS can look completely different from person to person. Or maybe you simply wish someone had told you that you weren’t alone.

Whatever it is, we want to hear from you.

💬 Share your answer in the comments, or head to our Stories to respond there.

Your experience could be exactly what someone newly diagnosed needs to hear today. And your responses can help us shape future O***y Active education, resources, and events around what our community actually needs.

Let’s learn from each other. 💗

So… what is PMOS? 💗

PMOS — Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome, formerly known as PCOS — is a condition that affects the way hormones and metabolism work in the body.

It can influence things like ovulation and menstrual cycles, androgen levels, insulin regulation, skin and hair, fertility, and long-term metabolic health.

But here’s what’s important: PMOS doesn’t look the same for everyone.

One person might experience irregular periods and acne. Another may have excess hair growth or difficulty conceiving. Someone else might primarily struggle with insulin resistance or other metabolic concerns—and some people experience several of these at once.

That’s one reason PMOS can sometimes be difficult to recognize.

💗 Different symptoms. Different experiences. Same condition.

Understanding PMOS starts with recognizing that there isn’t one “typical” person who has it.

What part of PMOS would you like us to break down next?

So, what exactly is O***y Active? 💗

O***y Active was created with one goal in mind: to make sure no one navigating PMOS feels like they have to figure it all out alone.

We’re a nonprofit dedicated to creating awareness, education, advocacy, and support for those affected by Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS), formerly known as PCOS.

Through education, community resources, events, partnerships, and advocacy, we’re working to:

📖 EDUCATE — Make reliable, easy-to-understand information about PMOS more accessible.

🫶 SUPPORT — Create a community where people feel heard, understood, and less alone.

💗 EMPOWER — Help individuals advocate for their health, ask questions, and feel confident taking an active role in their care.

There is still so much work to be done when it comes to awareness and understanding of PMOS — and that’s exactly why O***y Active exists.

Whether you live with PMOS, love someone who does, work in women’s health, or simply want to support the mission, there’s a place for you here.

More awareness. More support. A brighter future. Together. 💗

PCOS has a new name. Meet PMOS:

Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome. 💜

For years, the name Polycystic O***y Syndrome has created confusion around a condition that is about so much more than ovarian cysts.

The new name, PMOS, better reflects the bigger picture — the hormonal, metabolic, reproductive, and whole-body impacts that millions of people experience.

So what does this mean if you were diagnosed with PCOS?

Your diagnosis hasn’t disappeared. Your experiences are still valid. And you’re still part of the same community. 💜

What has changed is the language we use to describe it — with a name designed to more accurately represent the complexity of the condition.

At O***y Active, part of our mission has always been education. As PCOS becomes PMOS, we’ll be learning alongside you, sharing updated information, and helping make this transition easier to understand.

Same condition. Same community. New name. A bigger story.

Save this post, share it with someone in the PCOS/PMOS community, and follow along as we continue talking about what this change means. 💜

Hi, friends. It’s been a little quiet around here. 💜

Over the past several months, I stepped away from O***y Active as I entered a really special season of life—pregnancy, welcoming my daughter, and adjusting to life as a new mom.

But O***y Active has never stopped being important to me.

This organization started because of my own experience with PMOS and a desire to make sure women navigating this diagnosis feel more informed, supported, connected, and empowered.

And now, I’m ready to start showing up here again. 💜

It feels especially meaningful to come back during PMOS Awareness Month.

Over the next few weeks, I’ll be sharing more PMOS education, resources, community conversations, and what’s ahead for O***y Active as we begin this next chapter.

If you’ve been here since the beginning—thank you for sticking with us. And if you’re new here, welcome. We’re so glad you found us.

Here’s to getting O***y Active… active again. 💜

✨ We’re so grateful to have been an exhibitor at this year’s Women Lead Change Conference! ✨

At O***y Active, our mission is simple but powerful — to raise awareness and advocate for women living with PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome). Too many women struggle in silence with symptoms that are dismissed or misunderstood, and we’re here to change that through education, connection, and community. 💜

Thank you to Women Lead Change for creating a space that celebrates women’s leadership and amplifies missions like ours. Together, we can continue to drive awareness, understanding, and empowerment for women everywhere.

Another huge thank you to Revive at The Group Med Spa for providing us with the laser hair removal giveaway!✨💗

We had such a great time hosting our Nutrition for Hormone Health & Fertility class with Embody Nutrition & Wellness PLLC! 💪✨

Together, we learned how small, intentional changes in the way we eat can have a big impact on our hormone balance, energy, and overall reproductive health. From understanding blood sugar balance to building nutrient-rich meals that support your cycle — it was such an empowering and informative session.

A huge thank you to Embody Nutrition for sharing their expertise, and to everyone who joined us for the amazing discussion and questions. 💬

If you missed this one — don’t worry! We’ll be hosting more educational sessions. Stay tuned for upcoming classes and resources to help you stay O***y Active 😉
