About Kat (Kathleen Wright Reilly)
Kathleen Wright Reilly — known as Kat on TikTok — is a Registered Dietitian who has built Alike Nutrition, a growing PCOS-focused practice with a team of dietitians, from the ground up. With 128,800 TikTok followers and a weight-inclusive, anti-diet philosophy, she's become a leading voice for women who are tired of being told to "just lose weight" to manage their PCOS.
Her clinical training is impressive: a BS in Clinical Nutrition from Long Island University, a dietetic internship at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital (where she also completed a fellowship in Plant-Based Nutrition & Culinary Medicine), and outpatient experience at Massachusetts General Hospital counseling hundreds of clients with PCOS, binge eating disorder, and metabolic conditions.
Why Kat is Relevant to PCOS
Kat addresses a critical issue in PCOS care: the intersection of eating disorders and PCOS. Women with PCOS are 4-6x more likely to develop eating disorders, yet most PCOS dietary advice centers on restriction. Kat's weight-inclusive, intuitive eating approach directly counters this harmful cycle, helping women find food freedom while still managing PCOS symptoms.
What She Offers
- 1-on-1 Consultations: 75-minute initial sessions via HIPAA-compliant telehealth with personalized nutrition plans.
- VIP Package: 1:1 counseling + messaging support + food/mood journal with weekly dietitian review + PCOS Empowerment Society access.
- PCOS Empowerment Society: Self-paced online program with PCOS Foundations course, meal plans, recipes, workbooks, lab guides, and community forum.
- Team of RDs: Kat leads a team including Hannah Sorrell (MCN, RD) and Kathleen Walton (MS, RD) for expanded capacity.
- Insurance Coverage: Accepts BCBS, UnitedHealthcare, Aetna, Cigna, Allways — reports 95% of clients pay $0 out of pocket.
Expertise & Credibility
Kat's credentials span elite institutions: NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital and Massachusetts General Hospital. She developed NYPH's first Whole Food Plant-Based Cookbook and has contributed to peer-reviewed PCOS social media research. She reports helping 1,000+ women reverse PCOS and conceive naturally.
How She Compares
The insurance-covered model is Kat's biggest differentiator. While most PCOS dietitians operate on a cash-pay basis ($500-2,000+ for programs), Kat's practice accepts major insurance plans, making evidence-based PCOS nutrition accessible to women who otherwise couldn't afford specialized care.
