It's National Fitness Day, so I thought we'd take a slightly different look at exercise.

When we hear the word exercise, it's easy to picture the gym, running, fitness classes or a structured workout.

But movement can be much more ordinary than that.

Walking, cycling, swimming, gardening, dancing, taking the stairs or heading out for a walk with a friend all count towards being more active. The NHS also recommends including muscle-strengthening activities as part of a healthy, active lifestyle.

And strength work is particularly worth keeping in mind as we get older. Maintaining muscle helps us stay strong and supports our ability to manage everyday activities as we age.

If you enjoy the gym or running, brilliant. But if you don't, that doesn't mean movement isn't for you.

For National Fitness Day, why not think about your own day-to-day routine?
Is there somewhere you could bring a little more movement into your week?
It doesn't need to be complicated.

How much of what you've heard about PMOS is actually supported by the evidence?

There is no shortage of advice online. The problem is that some of it takes a small piece of science and turns it into a rule that apparently applies to everyone.

You don't need ovarian cysts to have PMOS.
You don't need to cut out carbohydrates.
Losing weight isn't a cure for PMOS.
And those online quizzes telling you that you have a particular “root cause type” of PMOS aren't based on an internationally recognised diagnostic classification.

These are just a few of the myths I look at in one of my recent blog posts.

I've gone through ten common claims about PMOS, from diet and weight to supplements, fertility and the idea that there is one answer that works for everyone.

The aim isn't to dismiss everything you read online. It's to look at what the evidence actually tells us, and where things are more nuanced than a social media post might suggest.

If you're trying to get back to basics and understand PMOS properly, I'd recommend having a read.

Still trying to make sense of your PMOS?
Perhaps you've been diagnosed recently and aren't quite sure where to start. Or maybe you've had PMOS for years but still find yourself searching for information every time a new symptom or question comes up.
That's why I created PMOS Essentials.
It's a self-paced online course designed to take you through the foundations of PMOS and help you build a clearer understanding of the condition.
Inside the course, you'll find:
📚 14 daily masterclasses
🥗 40+ recipes
📝 A PMOS journal
🛒 Meal-planning tools and shopping lists
📖 Practical handouts and guides
⏳ Lifetime access, so you can work through it at your own pace
The course covers areas including nutrition, blood sugar, insulin resistance, inflammation, stress, sleep and gut health, alongside practical resources to help you apply what you're learning to everyday life.
You don't have to complete it in 14 consecutive days. The 14 days are the structure of the course, and you have lifetime access to the material.
It's designed for adult women and is intended as an educational resource to sit alongside your existing healthcare. It isn't designed to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent PMOS.
If you're looking for a place to start building your understanding of PMOS, you can find out more about PMOS Essentials via the link in our bio.

Thinking about making an appointment with your GP because you think you might have PMOS?
It can be surprisingly difficult to know what to say when you're sitting in front of your doctor.
You may have a collection of symptoms that you've never really connected, or you may not be sure which details are important.
A little preparation beforehand can help.
In one of my recent blog posts, I've covered some of the things that can be useful to think about before your appointment, including:
• Your symptoms and when they started
• Your menstrual history
• Any medication, contraception and supplements you're taking
• Relevant family history
• The health concerns that matter most to you
And importantly, you don't need to arrive with a self-diagnosis or a list of tests you want your GP to order.
The aim is to give your doctor a clear picture of what's been happening so that you can discuss what, if anything, needs investigating.
I've also included some useful information about what your GP may consider when assessing possible PMOS and why looking beyond periods and fertility is important.
If you're preparing for an appointment, I'd recommend having a read first.

September is PMOS Awareness Month, and this year feels particularly important because we have a new name for the condition previously known as PCOS.
Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome.
The name change reflects something we've been talking about at PMOS Clinics for some time: this is not simply a condition of the ovaries.
PMOS is a complex endocrine and metabolic condition, with potential effects across hormonal, metabolic, reproductive and skin health.
For too long, the conversation around PCOS has often centred on periods, fertility and the idea of ovarian cysts. That can leave women with a very incomplete understanding of what the condition actually is.
And awareness matters.
The organisations involved in the name change have highlighted the way the old terminology contributed to misunderstanding, missed diagnoses and inadequate care.
So, throughout September, I'm getting back to basics.
I'll be talking about what PMOS actually is, what it isn't, the symptoms you might experience, how diagnosis works and the different ways PMOS can be managed.
If you've been diagnosed with PMOS, or you're simply trying to understand whether your symptoms could be connected, I hope you'll join me for the conversation.

What comes to mind when you think about PMOS?

For many women, the conversation starts with periods, fertility or the ovaries.
But PMOS is a complex endocrine and metabolic condition, and there's much more to understand.

It can affect things such as insulin regulation, androgen levels, skin and hair, sleep and longer-term metabolic health. Not every woman will experience the same symptoms, and you can have PMOS without some of the symptoms people most commonly associate with it.

Understanding that wider picture matters. It can help make sense of symptoms that might otherwise seem unrelated, and it gives us a better starting point when thinking about how PMOS can be managed.

That's the focus of one of my recent blog posts, where I take a closer look at what PMOS actually is, how it's diagnosed, what may be happening beneath the surface and some of the key factors that can influence it.

If you're living with PMOS, or you're still trying to understand what your diagnosis actually means, I'd encourage you to have a read.

One of the things I've noticed over the years is that hirsutism is often the symptom women are most reluctant to bring up.
Not because it's uncommon.
Quite the opposite.
It's because it can feel very personal.
Unwanted hair growth is a common symptom of PMOS (previously known as PCOS) and can affect confidence, particularly during the summer months when clothing tends to be lighter and more revealing.

The important thing to remember is that there isn't one "correct" way to manage it.
Some women choose laser hair removal.
Some prefer waxing, shaving or other methods.
Some explore medical options with their healthcare team.
And some decide they don't want to do anything at all.
Whatever feels right for you is okay.
Support is available.

Where do I start?
It's a question I hear a lot from women who have been diagnosed with PMOS.
There's often a feeling that you should immediately be changing everything you eat, exercising differently and somehow becoming an expert on your hormones overnight.
You don't need to do that.
Understanding what's going on in your body gives you a much better foundation for deciding what deserves your attention.
PMOS Essentials is my self-paced course designed to help you do exactly that.
You'll work through short daily lessons and have access to practical resources including recipes, meal-planning support, a PMOS journal and downloadable guides.
It's designed as a 14-day course, but there's no deadline. You have lifetime access, so you can work through it at a pace that suits you and return to the material later.
If you're at the beginning of your PMOS journey, or you've had a diagnosis for a while but never really understood what it means, you can find out more about PMOS Essentials via the link in our bio.

It probably isn't as complicated as social media would have you believe.
You don't need a special "clear-skin diet", and a breakout doesn't automatically mean you need to stop eating dairy, carbohydrates or another food you've seen blamed online.

There are, however, some useful things you can think about when putting your everyday meals together.

In this blog, I look at some of the nutrition principles that may help support skin health, including how you build a more balanced meal, useful food sources of omega-3 and zinc, and why variety matters when it comes to plant foods.
I also take a closer look at dairy and acne, and why removing an entire food group isn't necessarily the right place to start.

If you'd like some practical ideas you can use in your own kitchen, you can read the full blog on the PMOS Clinics website.

💧 It's World Water Week, so we're borrowing the theme to talk about something a little closer to home: hydration.

It's surprisingly easy to get halfway through the day and realise that most of what you've had to drink was the coffee you grabbed first thing.

As a general guide, the NHS recommends aiming for around 6 to 8 cups or glasses of fluid a day. You may need more when it's hot or if you're exercising.

And it doesn't all have to be plain water. Tea and coffee count towards your fluid intake, as do lower-fat milk and sugar-free drinks.

If you struggle to remember to drink regularly, try keeping a glass or bottle where you can see it. Adding some lemon, lime or cucumber to your water can make it a little more appealing too.

A useful check is the colour of your urine. Clear pale yellow generally means you're drinking enough, while darker yellow can be a sign that you need more fluid.

So, in the spirit of World Water Week, here's your reminder to refill your glass. 💧
