OUR STORY
We’re three siblings —Bilal, Zoya, and Zara;
Our Mission/Vision
To help you feel your best, because we’ve seen firsthand what happens when health is neglected.
Watching loved ones struggle with conditions that might’ve been prevented changed how we think about care. And it made us look deeper—at the microbiome, at the connection between food and health, and at what it really takes to build long-term well-being.
Bilal, a doctor and researcher, was studying the gut-heart connection in a cardiology lab. Zoya was working in food and wellness, blending the bold, nourishing flavors of our Pakistani heritage. And Zara was learning how to translate the science into something people could actually use.
Together, we started Lylah: a family company rooted in science, tradition, and care. Because gut health isn’t just about digestion—it’s about energy, immunity, mood, and how we show up for the people we love.
We built Lylah for our family. And we’re here to care for yours.
