Not Broken—from PCOS to PMOS: Your Guide to Hormones, Metabolism, weight and Fertility

What if everything you've been told about PCOS only explained part of the story?

PCOS is one of the most common conditions affecting women—and one of the most misunderstood.

If you've ever felt frustrated by irregular periods, weight struggles, acne, unwanted hair growth, fertility challenges, or conflicting advice, you're not alone. Many women are diagnosed with PCOS but never receive a clear explanation of what's actually happening in their bodies.

In Not Broken —From PCOS to PMOS, board-certified OB-GYN Dr. Darine Moukalled breaks down the science of PCOS into clear, practical language that finally makes sense. You'll learn how hormones, insulin resistance, metabolism, fertility, and long-term health are connected—and what you can do to take control of your health with confidence.

The book also explores the evolving concept of PMOS (Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome), a term that better reflects the broader hormonal and metabolic nature of the condition beyond the ovaries alone.

Inside, you'll discover:

• Why PCOS symptoms happen—and why they can look different from one woman to another

• How insulin resistance affects weight, energy, hormones, and overall health

• What common lab tests really mean

• Evidence-based treatment options and how they work

• Strategies to support fertility, pregnancy, and reproductive health

• What to expect as PCOS evolves through midlife and menopause

• Practical steps to improve your health without chasing perfection

Whether you're newly diagnosed or have been living with PCOS for years, this audiobook will help you better understand your body, advocate for yourself, and make informed decisions about your health.

Most importantly, you'll learn that PCOS does not define you.

You are not broken. You deserve answers.
