Expert Statements

Leanne Morgan, Comedian and Foundayo patient

“I’m a wife, mama, grandmama, and I’m out on the road doing comedy every week. I tried to manage my weight with diet and exercise alone, but it just wasn’t enough. So, I quit putting it off, made time to talk to my doctor about options, and together we decided Foundayo was a good fit for me. It’s part of my routine now, right along with diet and exercise.”

“Life doesn’t slow down for anybody, and there’s no such thing as the right time. If you’ve tried diet and exercise for years, don’t be shy about asking your doctor about your weight loss medicine options, like Foundayo. That to-do list will still be there tomorrow, I promise.”

Lina Polimeni, Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer, Consumer, at Lilly

“Leanne has a gift for making personal conversations feel relatable, including talking with a doctor about health and weight loss goals. At Lilly, we believe conversations about weight are conversations about health, and we’re grateful to have a partner like Leanne to champion this message.”
