The Root Eight

Eight things that separate care built for PMOS (PCOS) from a generic weight-loss subscription. Every provider is scored on each one — none, partial, or strong — and the eight add up to a single Root-Cause Fit.

Root-cause metabolic care

Treats insulin resistance as the engine of PMOS, not just a number on the scale.

PMOS & androgen fluency

Clinicians who actually understand androgen excess, irregular cycles, and what PMOS does day to day.

Labs that look deeper

Checks the markers PMOS hides behind — fasting insulin, A1c, androgens — not weight alone.

A dose made for your body

503A compounded titration matched to how you respond, not a one-size ladder.

A person you can reach

Real human help, fast, when side effects or questions hit.

A plan for after

Maintenance and a medically guided step-down, so results hold.

Honest money

All-in pricing you can read before you commit.

People in your corner

Community and accountability, because PMOS is a long game.

How the eight become one rating

Each dimension earns none (0), partial (1), or strong (2), for a total out of sixteen. That total fills the Root-Cause Fit bar and sets the level: Strong (11–16), Solid (8–10), Fair (4–7), or Low (0–3). A missing feature is scored as absent, not as a fault — and price is never part of the maths.
