Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from this episode — and how Fix Your Period can help.

What is PMOS (formerly PCOS)?
PMOS (formerly PCOS) (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) is the most common endocrine and metabolic disorder in women of reproductive age. Despite the name, it's not defined by cysts — it involves disrupted ovulation, elevated androgens, and often insulin dysregulation. It affects approximately 8–13% of women globally.
What causes PMOS (formerly PCOS)?
PMOS (formerly PCOS) is driven by blood sugar and insulin dysregulation (present in 65–70% of cases), chronic inflammation, gut microbiome disruption, HPA axis dysregulation from chronic stress, and exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals.
Can PMOS (formerly PCOS) symptoms improve naturally?
Research shows dietary and lifestyle interventions can significantly reduce the hormonal and metabolic features of PMOS (formerly PCOS). Women restore regular cycles and resolve symptoms like acne and hair growth through targeted nutrition, stress management, gut healing, and supplementation.
Is there an app to help women with PMOS (formerly PCOS)?
Yes. Fix Your Period is a women's health app built on Nicole Jardim's root-cause approach. The free assessment gives you personalised results covering key PMOS (formerly PCOS) markers. Fix Your Period Premium unlocks your personalised protocol, Nicole's Period Pillars education, symptom-specific protocols, and Nicole.AI.
Can I use Fix Your Period if I suspect PMOS (formerly PCOS) but haven't been diagnosed?
Absolutely. Fix Your Period supports women at every stage — whether you have a confirmed diagnosis or are trying to understand irregular cycles, acne, or hair loss that may suggest an androgen excess pattern. No formal diagnosis required.
