TODAY'S GUEST
Dr. Ali Chappell, the Founder and CEO of Lilli Health, aims to revolutionize the treatment of insulin resistance and PCOS. She is a Registered Dietitian with a MS in nutritional sciences and a PhD in nutrition and metabolism with a focus in reproductive endocrinology. She also completed a National Institutes of Health (NIH) funded postdoctoral research fellowship to further investigate nutrition, insulin resistance, and PCOS.
Over the past 12 years, she has conducted three clinical research studies focusing on the transformative ability of a Low Insulin Lifestyle to reverse insulin resistance and treat PCOS. Having PCOS herself, she has dedicated her career to studying a Low Insulin Lifestyle in patients with PCOS. This research led to her receiving a grant from the National Science Foundation in 2021 to launch Lilli Health and help take her research from the lab and the pages of medical journals and into the hands of patients and their healthcare providers.

ON TODAY'S EPISODE
Ali shares her personal story and how she came to study insulin and its impact on PCOS. We discuss the gap in PCOS messaging and the importance of understanding insulin resistance. Ali explains the testing methods for insulin levels and the significance of low fasting insulin. We also explore the foods that raise insulin levels and the misconception around blood sugar management. Our conversation highlights the crucial role of insulin in PCOS and the need for personalized nutrition approaches. In this episode we explore the impact of food on blood sugar and insulin levels and emphasize the importance of understanding the nuances of individual responses to different types of fruits and the role of fructose in liver fat accumulation. We highlight the benefits of a low insulin lifestyle compared to keto and paleo diets as well as the effects of combining fat or protein with fruit and the potential benefits of time-restricted eating and intermittent fasting. We also share other factors that can help lower insulin levels, such as managing stress and improving sleep.
