Tools That Drive Results: Aspect Health’s Approach
1. Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM): Your Personal Guide
At the heart of Aspect Health's approach to metabolic wellness is Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM), a transformative innovation that offers real-time feedback on glucose levels2. But why is glucose management so essential, and what role does glucose—and insulin resistance—play in your body?
What Is Glucose, and Why Does It Matter?
Glucose is your body’s primary energy source, powering everything from brain activity to muscle movement3. While some fluctuation in glucose levels is normal, large swings can disrupt how your cells use energy and may signal an unhealthy metabolism. Fatigue, cravings, and mood changes are just the start—persistent large swings in glucose levels can strain your metabolism, increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease4, weight gain, and other metabolic issues. Managing glucose is the key to unlocking consistent energy, emotional balance, and better metabolic health.
What Is Insulin Resistance and Why Does It Matter?
Insulin is the hormone that helps your body use glucose for energy5. When you eat, your pancreas releases insulin, allowing your cells to absorb glucose from the bloodstream. However, in insulin resistance, your cells become less responsive to insulin, forcing your body to produce more of it.
Over time, this can lead to:
- Elevated Blood Sugar: When cells become resistant to insulin, glucose can build up in your bloodstream. For some, this results in spikes; for others, it leads to consistently elevated levels. Over time, this can cause chronic inflammation and damage to cells, affecting overall health and increasing the risk of long-term complications.
- Fatigue and Cravings: Your cells don’t get the energy they need, leaving you tired and hungry.
- Increased Risk of Chronic Conditions: Insulin resistance is a precursor to type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and obesity
- Impact on PCOS6: For women with PCOS, insulin resistance exacerbates symptoms like irregular cycles, weight gain, and hormonal imbalances.
Addressing insulin resistance is crucial to restoring metabolic health and preventing long-term complications7.
How CGM Works
With CGM, you gain real-time insights into how your body responds to food, exercise, sleep, and stress. A small sensor measures your glucose levels 24/7 and sends the data directly to your Aspect Health app. Unlike traditional finger-prick tests, CGM provides a full picture of your metabolic patterns.
Why Managing Glucose Levels Helps
Stable glucose levels are key to improved health. CGM empowers you to:
- Identify triggers that cause glucose spikes: Understand which foods, activities, or habits cause fluctuations and make informed adjustments8.
- Correct Imbalances: Detect and address glucose fluctuations early, preventing significant disruptions.
- Proactive Decisions: Use real-time data to personalize your meals, exercise, and stress management for optimal glucose control.
A study showed that people with insulin resistance using CGM in a weight loss program lost an average of 9% of their body weight, compared to only 4% for those who didn’t use CGM9. This proves how having real-time insights into your body can make healthy changes easier and more effective. With CGM, you’re not guessing—you’re making informed choices that work for you.
The Impact of Stable Glucose Levels
Balanced glucose levels ensure your body functions optimally, allowing you to feel your best:
- Energy: Enjoy consistent, sustained energy throughout the day.
- Mood: Reduce irritability and low moods caused by glucose fluctuations, promoting emotional stability.
- Metabolic Health: Lower the risk of insulin resistance, weight gain, and PCOS symptoms.
Why It Matters for Women with PCOS
Insulin resistance is a common but often misunderstood challenge for women with PCOS. CGM offers personalized insights into your unique metabolic patterns, enabling targeted changes that directly address symptoms like fatigue, cravings, and irregular cycles10.
With CGM, you’re not guessing—you’re taking charge of your health. At Aspect Health, CGM isn’t just a tool; it’s your trusted partner in achieving metabolic health and lasting well-being.
2. Personalized Nutrition and Lifestyle Strategies: Designed for You
No two journeys are alike, and your path to better metabolic health should reflect that. At Aspect Health using insights from your CGM, we design strategies that fit seamlessly into your life:
Personalized Nutrition: Your CGM data uncovers how different foods affect your glucose levels, helping you discover meals that stabilize glucose, enhance satiety, and address insulin resistance11. A study found that personalized meal plans based on CGM data led to a 20% improvement in insulin sensitivity and an average weight loss of 7% in just three months. In comparison, those without personalized guidance saw far less progress12. This shows how customized nutrition can have a powerful impact on your metabolic health and overall well-being.
Lifestyle Optimization: By improving sleep quality, reducing stress, and incorporating movement into your routine, you help your body regulate glucose more effectively and combat the root causes of insulin resistance.
Why It Helps: Personalization ensures that the adjustments you make are not only effective but also sustainable, giving you the confidence to take control of your health without relying on guesswork13 14.
3. Human Expertise and AI: A Partnership for Success
Unlike programs that rely solely on algorithms, Aspect Health combines human connection with technological precision. You’re not just interacting with an app—you’re working with real experts who understand your struggles and cheer for your success.
Coaches Who Care: Our professional certified coaches guide you through every step, helping you interpret your CGM data, set realistic goals, and tackle challenges with empathy and understanding.
