This #July ✨️ we Highlight 10 Metabolic Health Founders Innovating in #Womens #Health and Beyond 🔥 🌍 When the team and I at Emmeline Ventures first started talking about #metabolic health, I remember thinking, how do we better draw the connection between #metabolic #health and #women's #health? Like many people, I understood it to primarily be associated with obesity or diabetes. It gets less discussion in women's health, so we were excited to dig in. As we dug deeper, things really started to click. #Metabolic health sits at the center of so many conditions that disproportionately affect women from #PMOS and #infertility to pregnancy complications, #hormonal imbalances, #cardiovascular disease, #menopause, and even #mental health. These are deeply interconnected issues, and #metabolic health is one of the threads that ties them together. This curiousity led us down a fascinating rabbit hole, where we discovered an incredible group of founders building solutions across #obesity care, #gut health, #nutrition, #diagnostics, #chronic #disease management, hormone health, and personalized medicine. They aren't just treating individual conditions,they're helping redefine how we think about prevention, long-term wellness, and the future of #healthcare. So we're excited to spotlight ten founders who are building the future of metabolic health. Here are 10 builders we are paying close attention to in metabolic health: • Joanna Wiecek, CEO & Co-Founder — GutSee Health Working at the intersection of gut health and metabolic dysfunction through data-driven insights. • Robin Berzin MD, Founder & CEO — Parsley Health Reimagining primary care through a systems approach to chronic disease and metabolic health. •Melissa Williams, Founder & Chief Orchestra— HorminaCare Building accessible, digitally enabled pathways for metabolic and women’s health. • Piyali Chakraborty, PhD, Co-Founder — Ashmi Health Focused on personalized approaches to metabolic and hormonal health. •Angela Fitch MD, FACP, MFOMA, Dipl. ABOM Co-Founder — knownwell Scaling clinical, evidence-based obesity and metabolic care. • Allie Egan, Founder & CEO — Veracity Bringing hormonal and metabolic insights into everyday consumer health through at-home testing. •Rachel Blank, Founder & CEO — Allara Building integrated care models for PCOS and metabolic conditions. • Ashley Zehnder- Co-Founder - Fauna Bio • Jenny Westlund —Founder and CEO Emmi Health. • Isabel Caruana, CEO — Ailin.health Building accessible, digitally enabled pathways for metabolic and women’s health What stands out across these builders is not just what they are building individually but the direction they are collectively pointing toward. What founders in Metabolic Health should we know about? Who would you highlight?

We see the same pattern in operator health, the first issue looks like one thing, then it turns out to touch everything else. The PCOS and fertility link is one more reason this space needs more attention.
Love this thesis. One area we believe is still significantly underexplored is the intersection of metabolic health and reproductive health. Metabolic dysfunction and nutritional deficiencies influence everything from egg and sperm quality to implantation, placental development, pregnancy outcomes, and even lifelong health of the next generation. Excited to see founders building at the metabolic health intersection!
Connecting metabolic health to hormone changes is so critical. We see this daily in our ISOUL community.
This is amazing! These women are making real change for women’s health.
Finding the root cause(s) of so many health conditions. So smart!
Thank you for recognizing the hard work we are doing! Billing insurance with no membership fee, caring for Medicare and Medicaid patients with all aspects of metabolic health as well as primary care is our mission! For the health of it not the weight of it! It’s about the health you gain not the weight you lose!
Amazing!!! Thank you for the recognition 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Loving it.
Thank you so much for the mention! Finally recognizing PCOS (now PMOS) as a metabolic and neuroendocrine condition is a huge shift for actually addressing patient needs and treatments that are more effective!
