Why Does PCOS Cause Weight Gain?

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) affects up to 10 % of women of reproductive age. Elevated androgens and chronic insulin resistance trigger excess fat storage— particularly around the abdomen—while slowing metabolic rate. This hormonal imbalance makes weight loss difficult without targeted medical therapy

Common PCOS Weight‑Gain Triggers

Insulin resistance

  • high-fasting insulin / sugar crashes

Elevated cortisol

  • Chronic stress

Irregular ovulation

Leading to fluctuating estrogen/progesterone

Sugar cravings & emotional eating

driven by hormonal swings

Common questions you may have about PCOS

Can PCOS weight loss treatment be done entirely online?

Yes. Intake, video consult, lab orders, and prescriptions all happen through our secure platform. Only blood draws are offline, and Quest has hundreds of locations.

I’m trying to get pregnant—are GLP‑1s safe?

You should pause GLP‑1s two months before actively trying to conceive. We’ll focus on metformin and lifestyle coaching instead.

Do birth‑control pills affect weight loss?

Combination OCPs have minimal impact on weight when insulin resistance is addressed. Your provider can adjust formulations to minimize bloating.

Will insurance cover my meds?

Metformin is often $0–$10 with insurance. GLP‑1 coverage varies; we provide a claim‑ready invoice and offer compounded sublingual options starting at $179/month.

How soon will I see results?

Most patients lose 1–2 lbs/week in the first 8 weeks and report fewer sugar cravings within 10 days.

Is my virtual visit private and secure?

Absolutely! HLTHi uses HIPAA-compliant technology to protect your personal health information. All consultations are confidential, and your medical records are securely stored.
