PCOS Treatment: A Root-Cause Program Designed by an OB-GYN
PCOS treatment at Aspect targets insulin resistance — the root cause in roughly 70% of women with PCOS — using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), 1:1 coaching, and a personalized nutrition + lifestyle plan designed by Dr. Basma Faris, MD. Built on 15+ peer-reviewed studies. No insurance required. FSA/HSA eligible.

Our Users Love Us
I've been diagnosed with PCOS since the age of 23, after starting Aspect, it was clear to me that I needed to improve my nutrition. I lost 20lbs and joined the gym and have started seeing incredible improvement in all of my symptoms. Thanks Kristina!
"I've been with Aspect for only 1 month, but I've already learned so much about how my body reacts to certain foods and stress, I've been sleeping better, and feeling more energetic every day"

"Aspect health helped me understand that my nutrition can reverse my condition. Kristina was amazing - supportive in every step of the way. Over the last 4 months, my skin has improved dramatically. I feel more confident than ever before."
Create a Personalized Plan
Collect hormonal balance biomarkers
An at-home lab test will help us to evaluate your insulin sensitivity, inflammation, stress, hormonal balance, nutritional balance and cardiovascular health and continuously track your blood glucose.
Learn Your Body's Responses
The first two weeks of each month will be dedicated to learning about your body's glucose responses with fun and engaging experiments. You and your coach will select the ones best fit your lifestyle and are most likely to provide results.

Learn From The Experts
"I really enjoyed trying out the CGM, as it provided valuable insights into my blood sugar trends. The appmade food tracking incredibly easy, and having acoach available for feedback at any time was a great feature. The CGM itself was very user-friendly, and the video instructions in the app made setup simple. Overall, I think this program is an excellent resource for my patients."
“It's been a very eye opening experience to wear the CGM to see how food & exercise affect glucose levels. It's helpful to have a coach who can answer questions anytime!”
"Insulin resistance is a key player in PCOS, and managing blood sugar levels can lead to significant improvements in fertility and hormonal balance."
"A focus on metabolic health, including stabilizing blood sugar levels, is crucial for women with PCOS to improve their reproductive health and fertility outcomes."
"For women with PCOS, controlling insulin levels is essential not only for weight loss but also for restoring normal menstrual cycles and improving fertility."
FAQ
What is the main treatment for PCOS?
There is no single PCOS treatment. The 2023 international guidelines (Teede et al.) recommend a tiered approach: lifestyle and nutrition as first-line, metformin or inositol for insulin resistance, oral contraceptives or anti-androgens for symptom control, and letrozole as the first-line ovulation induction agent for fertility. The Aspect PCOS Protocol layers continuous glucose monitoring on top of this framework so the lifestyle layer is personalized rather than generic.
Is PCOS curable?
PCOS is a chronic condition without a defined cure, but symptoms can go into full remission with root-cause treatment. Many women achieve regular cycles, normal androgen levels, and resolved insulin resistance through sustained lifestyle change. The 2023 international PCOS guidelines (Teede et al.) explicitly support this lifestyle-first framing.
What can trigger a PCOS flare-up?
Common PCOS flare triggers include: prolonged sleep deprivation, sustained psychological stress (cortisol elevation), high-glycemic-load eating patterns, alcohol, and abrupt weight regain. Tracking glucose with a CGM during a flare often reveals the specific trigger pattern faster than symptom journaling alone.
Can I treat PCOS without birth control?
Yes. Birth control suppresses symptoms but does not address the underlying insulin resistance or hyperandrogenism. Alternative routes include metformin or inositol for insulin sensitivity, spironolactone for androgen-driven symptoms, and a personalized lifestyle protocol. The Aspect program is built specifically for women who want PCOS treatment without OCPs.
What is the best thing to do for PCOS?
The single highest-leverage step for most women with PCOS is improving insulin sensitivity. That means stabilizing blood glucose (a CGM makes this trivially measurable), prioritizing protein and fiber, building lean mass through resistance training, and protecting sleep. The 2023 international guidelines list lifestyle as first-line treatment.
How do I cure PCOS with lifestyle?
PCOS is not formally curable, but lifestyle alone can drive symptoms into full remission for many women. The most evidence-supported levers: a Mediterranean or low-glycemic-load eating pattern, 150+ minutes of mixed cardio + resistance training per week, 7–9 hours of sleep, and stress regulation. CGM data accelerates the personalization step.
Should I take Ozempic, Wegovy, or Mounjaro for PCOS?
GLP-1 medications can help many women with PCOS lose weight and improve insulin sensitivity, and 2024 data suggests they may also restore ovulation in a subset of women. They are not FDA-approved for PCOS specifically (off-label) and they don't fix the underlying insulin signaling — symptoms often return on discontinuation. Speak with a clinician. The Aspect Protocol works alongside GLP-1s and helps you preserve gains when stopping.
How is Aspect different from Allara, Pollie, or my OB-GYN?
OB-GYNs typically focus on cycle regulation and contraception. Telehealth competitors offer asynchronous OB-GYN care plus medication. Aspect is the only program combining a continuous glucose monitor (the personalization layer) with an OB-GYN-designed protocol and ongoing 1:1 coaching — all anchored to insulin-resistance root-cause treatment. Aspect does not replace OB-GYN care; it adds the data and coaching layer most clinics can't provide.
