Addressing insulin resistance early, particularly in women of reproductive age, is critical to preventing obesity and its associated long-term health complications. Efforts to bridge this gap in care hold the potential to profoundly alter the course of women’s health for generations to come.

Insulin resistance plays a central role in PCOS, yet it has been overlooked in the diagnostic criteria, as well as in pre-pregnancy and pregnancy specific screening guidelines for patients with PCOS, and under addressed in treatment for far too long. It is refreshing to see companies finally taking an intentional and evidence based approach to what should be the foundation of PCOS care.

As a dietitian and clinical researcher in nutrition, I’ve witnessed the lack of nutritional education around conditions like insulin resistance and PCOS. Given how common these conditions are, we need a more intentional, evidence-based focus on helping patients lower insulin levels through dietary strategies that work in the real world. Lilli Health is filling that critical gap with tools and education that translate science into action.

As a neurologist with a focus in obstetric neurology and a passion for women’s neurological care, I see how insulin resistance impacts mental health across the female lifespan, from PCOS to pregnancy to menopause. Addressing it can be key to improving both mental health in women and, ultimately long-term cognitive health.

It’s long overdue that we move beyond one-size-fits-all advice for PCOS; Understanding that PCOS exists along a spectrum, has multiple varying symptoms, and impacts overweight, normal weight, and lean persons. The only way we’re truly going to improve symptoms and long-term outcomes is by addressing the root cause-and that means making insulin-lowering strategies the foundation of treatment. I’m proud to see Lilli Health working behind the scenes to finally bring insulin-lowering strategies to the forefront of PCOS care where it belongs.

As a dermatologist, I often see patients with PCOS struggling with acne, hair thinning, or excess facial hair. While we can treat the symptoms, I’m always looking for resources that can help address the underlying problem-insulin resistance-so we can support these patients from the inside out.
