We’re at NPWH 2026! 💙

So excited to be here connecting with women’s health providers, sharing more about Insara, and having important conversations around PCOS/PMOS, insulin resistance, and metabolic health.

If you’re a provider attending the conference, come say hi at Booth 511 and learn more about the tools, education, and resources we’re building.

And if you’re a woman struggling with PCOS/PMOS or insulin resistance and feeling like you still don’t have the answers you need, that’s exactly why Insara exists. We’re here to help make insulin easier to understand, measure, and act on.

Whether you’re caring for patients or navigating this yourself, we’re glad you’re here. 💙

Your fasting glucose can be normal while your insulin is telling a completely different story. 👇🏻

That’s why looking at glucose alone may leave an important piece of your metabolic health unseen.

In this carousel, we break down four different patterns you may see when looking at fasting glucose and fasting insulin together, including what it can mean when:

✨ Both are in a healthy range
✨ Glucose is normal but insulin is elevated
✨ Both glucose and insulin are elevated
✨ Fasting insulin looks normal, but PCOS/PMOS symptoms persist

For women with PCOS/PMOS, that last one matters too. A normal fasting result doesn’t always rule out an exaggerated post-meal insulin response, which is why an OGTT with insulin may sometimes provide additional information.

The goal is to understand the whole metabolic picture, not just wait for blood sugar to become abnormal.

💙 Save this post for the next time you review your labs.

What causes insulin resistance? 👇🏻

Insulin resistance doesn't happen overnight.

It develops gradually when your body is repeatedly exposed to foods that produce large insulin responses.

Over time, your cells become less responsive to insulin. To compensate, your pancreas produces even more, creating a cycle that can contribute to:

✨ Weight gain
✨ Increased cravings
✨ Low energy
✨ Fertility challenges
✨ And many of the symptoms associated with PCOS/PMOS

The good news?

Insulin resistance isn't necessarily permanent.

By focusing on foods that help keep insulin levels lower, you can support your body's ability to respond to insulin more effectively over time.

That's the foundation of the Low Insulin Lifestyle—an evidence-based approach developed from more than 15+ years of clinical research to help women better understand the role of insulin in their health.

🇺🇸 Happy 4th of July!

Today we’re celebrating freedom in all its forms.

For many women with PCOS/PMOS, freedom can look different.

✨ Freedom from constantly thinking about food.
✨ Freedom from chasing fad diets.
✨ Freedom from feeling like your body is working against you.
✨ Freedom through understanding your metabolism—not fighting it.

Every small choice you make to better understand your body is a step toward lasting health.

Here’s to celebrating independence, progress, and the science that helps us make informed choices. ❤️🤍💙

Happy Independence Day! 🇺🇸

PCOS is finally starting to be recognized for what it truly is… a metabolic condition, not just a reproductive one.

The proposed shift from PCOS to PMOS (Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome) reflects something many women have experienced for years: insulin resistance is often at the root of the symptoms.

At Insara, this is exactly why we focus on a Low Insulin Lifestyle and metabolic health first. We believe women deserve answers that go beyond symptom management and address what’s actually driving the condition.

But a name change alone isn’t enough.

We need earlier testing.
We need better guidelines.
We need providers to look beyond blood sugar and start evaluating fasting insulin and metabolic health sooner.

Because insulin resistance can begin years before labs become “abnormal.”

Our hope is that this shift opens the door for more prevention, more personalized care, and better long term outcomes for women everywhere 🤍

This is more than a name change.
It’s an opportunity to finally do better.

What are your thoughts on the proposed PMOS name change?

We’re excited to be at ACOG 2026 ✨

Come see us at Booth #924 and learn how we’re bringing a new approach to fertility and PCOS care — built around insulin.

At Insara, we focus on supporting:
✔️ Preconception health
✔️ Pregnancy outcomes
✔️ Postpartum recovery
✔️ Infertility challenges

By addressing one of the most overlooked drivers — insulin.

If you’re attending ACOG in Washington, DC (May 1–3), we’d love to connect 🤍

Stop by, say hello — and if you visit us, tag us so we can reshare!

Women’s Day is a reminder that women deserve better answers.

For too long, women’s symptoms have been minimized, dismissed, or explained away.

1️⃣ Fatigue
2️⃣ Weight struggles
3️⃣ Hormone imbalances
4️⃣ PCOS
5️⃣ Fertility challenges

Too often the response has been “everything looks normal.”

But many of these symptoms are connected by something that is rarely measured or discussed early enough. Insulin.

At Insara, we believe women deserve more than reassurance. They deserve science backed solutions and a deeper understanding of their metabolic health.

By starting with insulin, we can begin addressing the root causes behind many of the symptoms women experience, not just the outcomes.

Because women’s health deserves better questions, better research, and better answers.

Happy International Women’s Day 💙

You’re not failing. You were given incomplete information.

For years, women with PCOS have been told:

• Just lose weight.
• Your labs are normal.
• You need more willpower.
• Carbs are the enemy.
• Skipping meals will help.
• Feeling exhausted is just part of it.

These aren’t solutions. They’re myths.

And the common thread behind them?
Insulin is rarely tested. Rarely explained. Rarely addressed.

When insulin stays elevated:
– Weight loss feels impossible
– Cravings intensify
– Fatigue becomes constant
– Labs look “normal” while symptoms persist

PCOS is not a willpower problem.
It’s a metabolic one.

At Insara, we start where most care stops — with insulin.

Because when you lower insulin, you change the trajectory.

✨ Lower insulin. Elevate your health. ✨

Think you need to figure out your “type” of PCOS first? 👀

You may have heard there are 4 types:

1️⃣ Insulin Resistant PCOS
2️⃣ Inflammatory PCOS
3️⃣ Adrenal PCOS
4️⃣ Post-Pill PCOS

These categories can help explain what’s driving symptoms.

But here’s what most people don’t realize:

They overlap.

And there is one common denominator that shows up again and again…

Insulin.

High insulin can drive hormone imbalance.
It can fuel inflammation.
It can amplify stress responses.
It can quietly sit in the background while symptoms build.

That’s why at Insara, we start with insulin first.

Because when you lower insulin, you address the mechanism — not just the label.

Start with the root. Start with insulin.

“Your labs are normal.”

That’s the story so many women with PCOS are told.

They’re dealing with fatigue, weight gain, cravings,
irregular periods, acne, mood swings....and they’re
told everything looks fine.

But here’s the problem:

-Glucose and A1c can look totally normal even when
insulin is elevated.

-And in PCOS, that’s the norm, not the exception.

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

-But insulin isn’t part of the diagnostic criteria.

-It’s not routinely tested.

-And most patients have never even heard the word.

At Lilli Health, we’re building a new model of care, one
that finally includes insulin in the conversation.

Because understanding insulin changes everything.
