What is the SUPER study?

The SUPER Study is a groundbreaking research trial studying the effects of two promising ways of eating on PCOS in adults. Many women with PCOS may not know that they have it. If you have not been diagnosed with PCOS but you have infrequent or irregular periods, you may be eligible!

Participants will receive

  • Personalized Nutrition Program
    Participants will be assigned to follow one of two promising dietary approaches:
    • 1. A very low carbohydrate ("keto") diet, which limits sugars and starches.
    • 2. The DASH diet, which includes whole grains, lower-fat dairy, fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins.
  • Support from a Dedicated Coach
    A nutrition coach will offer guidance, motivation, and tips on sustaining healthy lifestyle changes.
  • Online Resources
    Access to videos, text messages, cookbooks, and other resources designed to support you through the process.
  • Financial Compensation
    Eligible participants will receive up to $175 for completing all study assessments.

Who can participate?

We are seeking individuals who meet the following criteria:

  • Adults aged 21-45.
  • Have been diagnosed with PCOS or experience infrequent/irregular periods without a formal diagnosis.
  • Willing to commit to a 12-month study period.

“Not enough good things to say about how empowered I feel because of the study. Thank you all so much.”
