So many of my patients, I work with functional nutritionists, but I also use that timeframe to saying maybe, so for example, now put you on a GLP, which can then impact your insulin and glucose and then shift the body's ability to function the way it should.

Well, to balance the insulin and glucose and the metabolic health portion of PCOS. And a lot of times the diseases that we have are from a metabolic perspective. And so that's why when we look at the studies now with GLP-1s, yes, you get the benefit of weight loss or people are on it because they're diabetics.
