Most people think of PCOS as a condition for younger women—but what happens when the symptoms show up (or worsen) after 40?

In this eye-opening episode of Fox After 40, we’re joined by Dr. Ronya Green to uncover the hidden truth about Polycystic Ovary Syndrome in midlife women. From weight gain and hormone shifts to fatigue and fertility struggles, this conversation sheds light on a commonly misdiagnosed condition that affects far more women over 40 than you might think.

We cover:

• What PCOS looks like during perimenopause and menopause

• Why many women are diagnosed with PCOS for the first time after 40

• How midlife symptoms like irregular periods, fatigue, and weight gain are often dismissed

• The role of testosterone, insulin resistance, and estrogen imbalances

• Health risks tied to PCOS: heart disease, diabetes, anxiety, and depression

• Key labs and tests to request if you suspect PCOS

• Why you can have PCOS without ovarian cysts

• How to treat PCOS in midlife: lifestyle changes, medications, and hormone therapy

• PCOS and fertility: what’s still possible over 40

• How to take a whole-person approach to manage physical, mental, and emotional health

If you’re over 40 and struggling with confusing symptoms, this episode will help you connect the dots, ask the right questions, and take charge of your health.
