We are dedicated to helping educate patients with PCOS about nutrition and wellness!💙

Let’s clear some things up:
🚫Insulin resistance is not caused by eating fat.
🚫It's not caused by obesity (cart before the horse...)
🚫It's definitely NOT diagnosed with an A1c.

It’s driven by recurrent insulin spikes via overconsumption of starch (yes, even whole grains), sugar, and unfermented dairy.

Even worse when these foods are combined with fat, especially processed fats.

This matters for women with PCOS, where insulin resistance affects up to 95%, yet remains excluded from diagnostic and treatment guidelines.

It's time to start understanding the metabolic pathways at play.

At Lilli Health, we help patients lower insulin through real education, targeted testing, and strategies that actually address the root cause, like a Low Insulin Lifestyle.

“Eat less and exercise more.”
That’s still the standard advice we’re giving women with PCOS.

Meanwhile, up to 95% of them have elevated insulin, a hormone that drives hunger, fatigue, and weight gain.

And then we wonder why they “aren’t compliant.”
Why they “aren’t losing weight.”

Are we explaining how high insulin levels affect their ability to reach their goals? Are we even testing it?

No.

👉Imagine not testing cholesterol in a patient with heart disease.
👉Or not testing glucose in someone with diabetes.
👉Or not testing TSH or free T3 in someone with a thyroid condition.

So why are we ignoring insulin in a condition literally defined by hyperinsulinemia? It's unacceptable. It’s not just a missed lab. It’s a missed opportunity to actually help. To diagnose earlier.

This is exactly why I created a Low Insulin Lifestyle™ and why we built Lilli Health.

Because patients deserve more than recycled advice.

Lowering insulin goes beyond weight loss.

When insulin levels stay high, it can signal cancer cells to multiply faster. That’s why insulin resistance is linked to higher risks of breast, prostate, colon, and endometrial cancers.

This is why lowering insulin matters.
Not just for weight loss. Not just for PCOS. For everyone.

Had your insulin levels checked?

Losing weight with PCOS isn’t about willpower.
It’s about lowering insulin.

Too many women get stuck making these common mistakes:
❌ Counting calories
❌ Chugging protein shakes
❌ Living in the gym

The truth? A Low Insulin Lifestyle™ is what finally unlocks results, without the constant hunger, fatigue, and frustration.

👉 Save this post for the next time you feel stuck.

PCOS is about more than ovaries.

According to the CDC, more than half of women with PCOS will develop type 2 diabetes by age 40 if insulin isn’t addressed.

The problem? Most doctors don’t test insulin.

That’s why we created Lilli Kits—at-home blood tests that finally measure the labs that matter for PCOS, including insulin.

Pair that with the Low Insulin Lifestyle™ in the Lilli App, and you have the tools to change your life and your future health.

Don't confuse glucose and insulin.

Just because something doesn’t spike your blood sugar doesn’t mean it won’t spike your insulin.

And if you have PCOS, insulin is the real issue.

🍼Milk contains naturally occurring insulin and IGF-1 because it’s literally designed to make a newborn baby grow...FAST.

💪Whey protein? It can spike insulin higher than white bread.

🍯And “natural” sugars like honey and maple syrup still cause big insulin surges.

Want to eat dairy? Focus on fermented options like greek yogurt and aged cheese. The fermentation process can lower the insulin response. *Always choose full-fat over fat-free or reduced-fat.* 🧀

For women with PCOS, this matters—because up to 95% of us have elevated insulin, and most of us have no idea (primarily because doctors refuse to test for it 🙄🤯😡)

The focus has always been on carbs and calories.
But the real issue for many of us is insulin.

This is exactly why I created a Low Insulin Lifestyle™.💡

Because the standard advice just doesn’t work for everyone. It didn't work for me either. So I created a better way.

I was diagnosed with PCOS 17 years ago.

Even as a dietitian, I struggled with my weight and symptoms, despite doing everything I learned in school. Eating what I was taught was a “healthy” diet.

Over time, I started digging into the research. I realized insulin resistance was at the root of so many PCOS symptoms, and that standard nutrition advice wasn’t addressing it.

That’s when a Low Insulin Lifestyle™ began.

Backed by over a decade of research, it became the foundation for Lilli Health, which I launched in 2022 to help other women get the answers I wish I’d had.

Most women with PCOS are already dealing with insulin resistance, and starch-based meals only make it worse.

A true plant-based approach should be produce-based, not packed with pasta and bread.

This is the foundation of a Low Insulin Lifestyle™, one that supports hormones, metabolism, and long-term health.

Why is insulin testing not standard of care? Not because it doesn’t matter, but because the system isn’t built to care about it.

At Lilli Health, we’re building a new model of care, one that centers around insulin. Because you can’t solve a metabolic problem by only treating the symptoms.

We help women with PCOS understand what’s driving their symptoms, how insulin plays a role, and what steps they can take to lower it, naturally and sustainably.

It’s time to change the conversation. And it starts with insulin.

If we want real prevention, we have to shift the model.
Glucose is late. Insulin is early.
And early is where change happens.

What sets Lilli Health apart?

We’re focused on what almost everyone else is ignoring: insulin.

We’re clinically validating our approach, called a Low Insulin Lifestyle, for the fourth time in a groundbreaking randomized controlled trial (LILACS). We’re also pursuing FDA clearance to bring to market the first FDA-cleared product for PCOS, a tool designed to address the root cause of PCOS: insulin resistance.

Because PCOS patients deserve better.

PCOS is classified as a reproductive disorder, but that’s only because that’s where the symptoms show up first.

But the root cause is metabolic. It’s insulin resistance.

Insulin is what drives the high androgens.
Insulin is what disrupts ovulation.
Insulin is what contributes to weight gain, fatigue, acne, inflammation, and cravings.

PCOS doesn’t start in the ovaries. It starts in your metabolism.

If we keep treating it like a reproductive problem, we’ll keep missing the opportunity to truly help patients.

It’s time to change the way we think about PCOS.
And at Lilli Health, that’s exactly what we’re doing.

04/08/2025

Up to 95% of women with PCOS have elevated insulin levels.

And yet…
Elevated insulin isn’t part of the diagnosis.
It’s not part of the treatment.
It’s barely even discussed.

Instead, we treat the symptoms of high insulin levels:

• Irregular periods
• Acne
• Hair loss on the scalp
• Unwanted hair growth
• Weight gain
• Cravings
• Fatigue
• Mood swings
• Trouble sleeping
• Water retention

These aren’t random.
They’re the result of chronic high insulin.

We don’t need more Band-Aids.
We need to test insulin.
We need to treat insulin.
Because when insulin goes down, these symptoms improve.

It’s time the guidelines caught up.
