PMOS (Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome), a Functional Approach.

Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS) is the newly defined term for the condition previously known as Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), following a global consensus published in The Lancet in May 2026.

Skin, Hair & Nails: Beauty From Within

Glowing skin, strong, healthy hair and resilient nails are often seen as cosmetic goals, something to be fixed externally. Yet these tissues are among the fastest renewing in the body, making them especially sensitive to nutrition, digestion, hormone balance, stress and sleep. Hair follicles and nail-forming cells require a constant supply of nutrients, oxygen and hydration. When internal systems are under strain, changes in hair texture, shedding or brittle nails often appear alongside...
