Dr. Fletcher discussing the transition from PCOS to PMOS and women's metabolic health

Motivation: Understanding the Shift from PCOS to PMOS

June 9, 2026

Monday Motivation, Motivation

In this week's motivation, Dr. Fletcher discusses an important development in women’s health: the evolving conversation around Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and the proposed shift toward the term Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS). While many women are familiar with the term PCOS, the condition has long been recognized as much more than an ovarian disorder. The proposed name change reflects a growing understanding that this condition affects multiple hormone systems throughout the body—not just reproductive health. Why the Name Change? The traditional term "Polycystic Ovary Syndrome" focuses attention on the ovaries, but many experts believe that description fails to capture the full complexity of the condition. Women with PCOS often experience challenges related to: Insulin resistance and metabolic health Hormonal imbalances Weight management Inflammation Cardiovascular risk factors Fertility and...

As we head into June and spend more time outdoors, it’s a great opportunity to focus on skin cancer awareness and the importance of protecting your skin every day—not just at the beach or pool. In this week's Motivation, Harlee Palmer, PA, discusses why sun protection matters and shares practical ways to help keep your skin healthy year-round. Why Skin Protection Matters Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States, and exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation remains one of the most significant risk factors. The good news is that many cases can be prevented through simple, consistent habits. While a sunburn may fade after a few days, the damage from UV exposure can accumulate over time, contributing to premature aging, sunspots, and an increased...

Reflection, Gratitude, and the Meaning Behind Memorial Day

Monday Motivation, Motivation

As we move beyond Memorial Day weekend and settle back into the rhythm of daily life, Dr. Palermo encourages us to carry forward the deeper meaning behind the holiday: reflection, gratitude, and perspective. Memorial Day is more than the unofficial start of summer. It is a time set aside to honor and remember the men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. It invites us to pause, not only for remembrance, but also for appreciation of the freedoms, relationships, and opportunities we often move through too quickly. The Importance of Slowing Down In a culture that constantly pushes us toward productivity and busyness, moments of reflection are easy to overlook. But intentionally slowing down can have a meaningful impact on both emotional and physical...

Motivation: The Mind-Body Connection and Gut Health

Monday Motivation, Motivation

In this week's Motivation, Dr. Greenapple discusses how the mind-body connection can play an important role in improving gut dysfunction through practices such as hypnosis, meditation, and qi-gong. While gut health is often discussed through the lens of food, digestion, and the microbiome, the nervous system plays a major role as well. Stress, tension, and emotional overload can all influence how the digestive system functions. That’s where mind-body practices can be especially powerful. How Stress Affects Digestion The brain and gut are constantly communicating. When the body is under stress, digestion can slow down, become more reactive, or feel out of balance. Over time, this may contribute to symptoms such as bloating, discomfort, irregularity, or digestive sensitivity. Practices like meditation, hypnosis, breathwork, and qi-gong may help calm the nervous system...

Struggling with energy, focus, mood, or recovery? It may come back to one thing: sleep. In this week's Motivation, Dr. Palermo shares why sleep should be treated as a priority, not an afterthought. It is one of the most powerful drivers of overall health, yet it is often the first thing we sacrifice. If you’re not sleeping well, your body isn’t recovering, regulating, or performing the way it should.

Monday Motivation, Motivation

Motivation with Harlee Palmer If you’ve spent any time on social media lately, you’ve likely noticed the growing buzz around peptides. From performance and recovery to weight management and aging, they’re being talked about as a potential game-changer. But with all the attention comes an important question: Are peptides something you should actually consider? Understanding the Conversation Peptides aren’t new, but the spotlight on them is. At their core, peptides are small chains of amino acids that act as signaling molecules in the body. They help regulate a wide range of biological processes, from metabolism to tissue repair. What’s changed is how they’re being used and how widely they’re being discussed. Dr. Palmer encourages a thoughtful approach. Just because something is trending doesn’t mean it’s right for everyone. But it also...
