When it comes to this insulin resistance, they can either do the metformin.

But what I like to do, I like to start them on supplements that has inositol in it and vitamin D. Did you know that low vitamin D makes you insulin resistant?

You don't want it to be resistant.

Anything that will make you more insulin sensitive will help with symptoms of PCOS.

So you want to bring down these pillars, right?

Without even thinking about birth control pill, you want to lower your insulin resistance.

So whether it's metformin or supplements or exercise or low carbohydrate diet or lowering your stress and lowering your cortisol,

All of that, all of this system, that's why I wanted to explain all this because they all work together.

Then you want to bring your inflammation down.

You want to bring that visceral fat down.

So you have to, that's why, I don't know if you heard this, but in 2014, back then, I had trulicity as GLP-1.

And that's what I used to use for my PCOS patients.

And they would lose 50, 60, 80, 100 pounds.

And this is 2014.

I actually learned it from a cardiologist who I used to work with, Dr. Korsandi.

And I used to send, because I would screen for lipid panel on these PCOS patients.

And they were all, you know, they had high triglycerides.

And they were overweight.

So I would keep sending them, send my patients to him.

And one day he called me.
