Millions of women have been told they have PCOS. Millions more have been told nothing is wrong at all.
Now, one of the most common hormonal conditions affecting women has a new name: PMOS, Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome. The change reflects what experts have long understood, this condition is about far more than the ovaries. It's deeply connected to metabolism, insulin resistance, inflammation, and hormone balance.
In this episode, Dr. Mindy is joined by Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi, renowned OB-GYN and co-host of the She MD podcast, along with entrepreneur and women's health advocate Mary Alice Haney. Together, they unpack why so many women go undiagnosed, why insulin resistance isn't always visible on the outside, and how lifestyle, nutrition, and early intervention can dramatically change a woman's health trajectory.
They also discuss the growing impact of environmental toxins, breast cancer risk, fertility, metabolic dysfunction, and what every woman should know before walking into her next doctor's appointment.
In this episode you'll learn:
Why PCOS was renamed to PMOS and what the change means The three criteria used to diagnose PMOS Why up to 80% of women with PMOS remain undiagnosed How insulin resistance affects both lean and overweight women Why birth control alone doesn't address the root cause of PMOS Practical nutrition, lifestyle, and medical approaches to improving insulin sensitivity How to become a stronger advocate for your own healthcareMore on Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi & Mary Alice Haney:

Losing weight is one challenge. Keeping it off is another.
Research shows that most people regain the weight they've lost within a few years, not because they lack willpower, but because they were never taught what comes after weight loss.
In this episode, Dr. Mindy breaks down the science behind weight regain and shares the eight most common reasons people struggle to maintain their results. From metabolic flexibility and hormone balance to muscle, stress, and sleep, she explains why lasting success requires a different approach than simply losing weight.
You'll also learn five practical steps to help your body adapt to its new weight, support a healthy metabolism, and build habits that last long after the scale changes.
If you've ever lost weight only to gain it back, this episode will help you understand why and show you a different path forward.
Key Takeaways
Why losing weight and maintaining weight loss require different strategies What "catch-up fat" is and how it influences weight regain How your fat cells develop a "memory" after weight loss How flexible fasting supports maintenance better than chronic fasting The role hormones play in preventing weight regain Five daily habits that support healthy weight maintenanceResources Mentioned

What if the biggest thing standing between you and better health isn't your diet, your workout routine, or your hormones?
What if it's the relationship you've built with yourself?In this conversation, I sit down with psychologist and bestselling author Dr. Nicole LePera to explore how our earliest experiences shape the way we move through adulthood. From emotional eating and food noise to perfectionism, people pleasing, burnout, and the struggle to trust ourselves, so many of the habits we think are personality traits are actually learned survival strategies.
We also explore why healing isn't about becoming someone new. It's about reconnecting with the parts of yourself that have always been there.
If you've ever wondered why you know what to do for your health but still struggle to follow through, this conversation offers a completely different way to understand yourself.
Why the first five years of life shape the way your nervous system responds to stressWhy food noise and emotional eating often point to deeper unmet needsHow small daily promises help rewire your brain and build confidenceThe difference between guilt and shame, and how each affects your decisionsWhy learning to rest can feel uncomfortable for so many womenPractical ways to reconnect with your body and begin healing old patterns

For years we've been told that if fasting is good, then fasting longer must be better.
That simply isn't true.Fasting is one of the most powerful healing tools we have, but it's also a stressor. Like exercise, the benefits don't come from the stress itself. They come from how well your body recovers afterward.
In this solo episode, Dr. Mindy explains how to tell whether fasting is supporting your metabolism or pushing your nervous system beyond its limits. You'll learn the five green lights that signal your body is adapting well, the five red flags that tell you it's time to pull back, and simple ways to adjust your fasting practice based on your hormones, stress levels, and stage of life.Whether you're new to fasting or you've been doing it for years, this episode will help you stop guessing and start working with your body instead of against it.
In this episode you'll learn:
Why fasting is a beneficial stressor, but only in the right doseThe difference between metabolic stress and chronic stressHow your nervous system influences your fasting resultsFive signs fasting is working with your bodyFive red flags that indicate your fasting routine needs to changeWhy sleep, energy, hormones, and muscle are powerful feedback systemsHow to adjust your fasting practice based on your cycle and life stageThe importance of recovery, refeeding, and metabolic flexibilityWhy fasting should always be personalizedResources Mentioned

What if the biggest obstacle to better health isn't your diet and instead it's the relationship you've built with your body?
In this conversation, I sit down with psychologist Dr. Rachel Goldman to unpack why so many women struggle with body image, emotional eating, food noise, and self-worth, especially during midlife.
We explore why lasting health isn't built through shame or punishment. It's built through curiosity, compassion, and learning to work with your body instead of constantly fighting against it.We also discuss the psychology behind food noise, body neutrality, GLP-1 medications, menopause, emotional eating, and why your relationship with yourself influences every health decision you make.
If you've ever felt like your body has betrayed you, this episode offers a different perspective.
Why body image goes far beyond what you see in the mirrorThe difference between body positivity and body neutralityWhy food noise develops and how to begin quieting it naturallyHow emotional eating becomes a learned coping strategyWhy your self-worth should never depend on the number on the scaleHow menopause changes the emotional relationship women have with their bodiesWhy slowing down at meals changes more than digestion

Americans spent more than $69 billion on supplements last year, yet nutrient deficiencies are still widespread.
Somewhere along the way, wellness became a cabinet full of pills, powders, and promises. But what if better health isn't about taking more?
In this episode, I share the five supplements I would prioritize if I had to start over today. These aren't trendy products or quick fixes. They're foundational nutrients that support metabolism, hormones, muscle, brain health, and healthy aging, especially for women in midlife.
You'll also learn why supplements should never replace a healthy lifestyle, how soil depletion and processed foods have changed the nutrient quality of our food, and simple ways to get more of these nutrients through whole foods first.
If your supplement routine feels overwhelming, this episode will help you simplify it.

For years we've been told that healing trauma means talking about it. But what if talking isn't enough?
In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Harvard-trained psychiatrist and world-renowned trauma expert Dr. Frank Anderson to explore why trauma isn't simply stored in your memories. It's stored in your body.
We discuss why so many women find old wounds resurfacing during perimenopause and menopause, why food often becomes a coping mechanism for unresolved trauma, and why traditional talk therapy doesn't always create lasting healing.
Dr. Anderson shares the science behind trauma, nervous system regulation, EMDR, Internal Family Systems, psychedelics, and the small daily experiences that help your brain and body finally feel safe again.
If you've ever wondered why you keep reacting the same way despite years of personal growth, this conversation will help you understand what your body has been trying to tell you all along.
In this episode you'll learn:
• Why talking about trauma doesn't always heal it
• How trauma becomes stored inside the body
• The surprising reason menopause often brings unresolved trauma to the surface
• Why emotional eating is often a protective response
• How fasting reveals hidden emotional patterns around food
• Why triggers are valuable clues instead of something to fear
• The role of EMDR, Internal Family Systems, somatic therapies, and psychedelics in trauma recovery
• Simple daily practices that begin creating lasting healingResources Mentioned

For our very first guest on the The Live Like a Girl podcast, I sat down with the woman who taught generations of us how to take back our financial power: Suze Orman.
Here’s why I had to start here. I spend my life helping women with hormones, weight loss, menopause, and underneath almost all of it sits one thing – cortisol. And when you scratch beneath the “cortisol surface,” so often what you find is money stress. So I brought in the icon herself to talk about what’s really keeping women sick and stuck, and what to do about it.
We get into self-worth and net worth, why women hand over their financial power, the spender-to-saver shift, divorce and the sandwich generation, the truth about your home and your car, what AI is about to do to all of us, and the money moves that matter most in 2026. Suze also shares her origin story – from waitress to financial icon and I know it will light a fire in you.
This one is a masterclass. So bring a notebook and get ready. If you’re wanting the deeper dive on exactly how to invest now, we’re giving you a special offer of Suze’s Masterclass: suzeorman.com/drmindy

After five years as The Resetter Podcast, everything changes. Welcome to Live Like a Girl.In this first episode, Dr. Mindy Pelz explains why she retired a name she loved and what she's building in its place. The truth driving it all: women aren't thriving, and most of the health advice out there was never written for us to begin with.
She opens with the numbers on Alzheimer's, depression, anxiety, cancer, and heart disease, then digs into why the science behind "evidence-based" wellness has left women out, and why fifteen-minute doctor visits and almost no nutrition training can't fix it. From there she lays out the five principles that shape this whole new season: mindset matters, regulate first, honor your rhythms, everything is health, and collaboration over competition.
It's a conversation about the body, but also about culture, conditioning, and finally taking up space. A preview of what's coming this season, including Suze Orman on money and wellbeing and Frank Anderson on trauma and metabolism.

After 30 years in health, Dr. Mindy is calling time on the rules.
This solo episode is one of the most personal things she's shared on this podcast. It covers two big ideas: the science and story behind why she stopped fasting for most of the past year and the five health habits she's deliberately walking away from in 2026.
First, flex fasting. When cortisol is high from grief, trauma, illness, perimenopause, or chronic stress rigidly pushing through long fasting windows doesn't support the body. It depletes it. Dr. Mindy shares what happened when she lost a close friend and found herself in an acute stress state, what the research says about prolonged fasting and the HPA axis, and how she developed a new approach she's calling flex fasting: a more intuitive, body-led way to use fasting as a tool without turning it into a rule.Then the five things she's giving up: counting (macros, biometrics, followers, all of it), the gym, other people's urgency, productivity over health, and information overconsumption. Each one is a direct response to what the wellness industry has quietly done to us — turned health into a full-time job with a performance review.

Lately, it feels like women are carrying more than ever, mentally, emotionally, hormonally, and neurologically.In this week’s conversation, Dr. Mindy sits down with internal medicine physician and brain health expert, Dr. Austin Perlmutter, to talk about what modern life is doing to our brains and why so many people feel overstimulated, foggy, anxious, disconnected, and exhausted.
Together, they discuss:
Why chronic stress changes on the brainThe impact of ultra-processed foods on mood and cognitionWhy women in midlife are especially vulnerable to burnoutHow nature helps regulate the nervous system in minutesHow inflammation and depression can lead to Alzheimer’sWhy simple habits matter more than most people realizeOne of our favorite parts of this conversation was the reminder that healing doesn’t always need to be complicated. Sometimes the most powerful changes are the ones that bring us back to how humans were designed to live in the first place.

GLP-1 medications are changing the conversation around weight loss, metabolism, and women’s health. But are we asking the right questions about long-term health?

Dr. Mindy explores:
• The connection between GLP-1 drugs and muscle loss
• Why women over 40 need to think differently about metabolism
• New research linking GLP-1s to declining bone density
• How fasting impacts glucagon, ketones, and fat burning

Caroline Alan, co-founder of BEAM Minerals and author of the new book The Mineral Reset, joins Dr. Mindy to unpack why minerals are the missing foundation of every health plan, and why you can eat organic, take supplements, and still be profoundly deficient.They go deep on glyphosate, the "Trojan Horse method," and why fulvic and humic acids are the only molecules on Earth that can go inside your cells and carry glyphosate back out.
If your hair is falling out, your sleep is off, your energy is low, or you're cramping for no reason, this conversation may be the missing piece.
In this episode:
Why eating organic is no longer enough for mineral replenishmentThe symptoms of mineral deficiency most people never connect to mineralsHow glyphosate mimics glycine and what that does to your sleep, collagen, and nervous systemHow fulvic acid goes inside your cells, delivers minerals, and carries glyphosate outWhat humic acid does in the bloodstream and why it supports autophagyRESOURCES MENTIONED:

If you’ve ever felt like you were failing at something you were supposed to be naturally good at – this conversation will set you free.
Elinor Cleghorn is a feminist historian and the author of A Woman’s Work: Reclaiming the Radical History of Mothering, and in this deeply personal, wide-ranging conversation with Dr. Mindy, she unpacks one of the most important questions of our time: why has motherhood been so diminished, misunderstood, and so weaponized against the very women who do it?
From the myth of the perfect maternal instinct to the constructed guilt that has silenced women for centuries, from the empty nest to the role of fatherhood in healing the masculine wound, this conversation goes everywhere. It's equal parts history lesson, permission slip, and love letter to every woman who has ever given everything to raising a family and wondered whether she was doing it right.
Spoiler: you were.

And in this conversation with Dr. Mindy, she unpacks exactly why perimenopause and menopause create a perfect storm of nervous system dysregulation, and how tapping can interrupt the cycle in minutes — no therapist, no appointment, no special equipment required.

We've had a lot of important menopause conversations, but nobody's given us the manual for the gut until now.
Cynthia Thurlow is a nurse practitioner, host of the Everyday Wellness podcast, and author of the brand new book, The Menopause Gut. And in this conversation, she and Dr. Mindy pull back the curtain on one of the most overlooked and misunderstood pieces of the entire menopause puzzle: the estrobolome.
This conversation is a must-listen for any woman in perimenopause or beyond who feels like she's doing everything right and still not feeling better. It's also essential if you've ever taken the pill, struggled with gut issues, or wondered whether your mood, sleep, and waistline might have more to do with your microbiome than your hormone panel.

If you've ever felt like the self-care conversation has become just another "to-do list," this episode is going to change everything.
Dr. Melissa Sonners, author of The Connection Code, and a dear friend, walked me through the most practical, science-backed, and genuinely achievable approach to self-care I've ever encountered. Just two minutes, three times a day – and a completely new way of understanding what your brain actually needs.
We dig into the five brainwave gears we move through every day, why most of us are stuck in a high-beta state from the moment we wake up until we crash at night, and how to use simple, free tools to give your nervous system the reset it's been craving.
If you've ever said "I don't know how to relax," this one is for you.

People with pre-diabetes are 2.7 times more likely to develop major depression. People with new bipolar disorder are 3.5 times more likely to have metabolic syndrome. If that stopped you in your tracks, good – it stopped me too.
I brought Dr. Georgia Ede back to The Resetter Podcast to dig into her new expert consensus on ketogenic diets and mental health, and this conversation is one every woman needs to hear.
Dr. Ede is a Harvard-trained psychiatrist and one of the world's leading experts in nutritional and metabolic psychiatry. What she laid out in this episode completely reframed how I think about brain health, brain energy, and what it actually means to feed your mind.
We get into why the brain is a hybrid engine that runs best on a mixture of glucose and ketones and what happens when it runs on glucose alone. If you've ever wondered whether what you eat is affecting how you think, feel, and function – this one will give you the science and tools to find out.
