Lalla Hirayama: From Glitter to Grounding – Empowering Women with PCOS Through Life Source
Lalla Hirayama is not your typical success story. Once a household name in South Africa’s entertainment industry, Lalla’s journey through fame, fortune, and the high-pressure world of television led her to a profound awakening. Today, she is the CEO and co-founder of Life Source, a brand dedicated to empowering women suffering from Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and inspiring a new generation of women to embrace a life of wellness, balance, and authenticity.
From TV Stardom to Healing
As a celebrated TV personality, Lalla was the face of V-Entertainment, MNet's Lalla-Land, Mzansi Magic's Massive Music, acting on Rhythm City, Zone 14 and a judge on SA's Got Talent, among many other TV and radio shows. Known for her radiant energy and magnetic presence, Lalla seemed to have it all. But behind the cameras, she was silently battling with the symptoms of PCOS — a condition that often goes underrecognized, yet affects millions of women worldwide. Diagnosed at 27, Lalla struggled with severe hair loss, acne, fatigue, panic disorder, depression, pre diabetes, debilitating body pain and the emotional toll of the hormonal imbalances that came with the condition. But the traditional treatments left her feeling worse, pushing her to search for a better way.
Her journey led her to a game-changing collaboration with Dr. Russell Cooper, an integrative medicine expert who happened to be her uncle. Together, they built Life Source PCOS Support, a holistic supplement company that offers a natural, doctor-formulated approach to managing PCOS, after Lalla found incredible relief from her uncle's protocol. This wasn’t just another product on the shelf — this was Lalla’s mission to help women regain control of their bodies, their health, and their lives.
A New Beginning: Authentic Living Beyond the Spotlight
Leaving the hustle and bustle of fame behind, Lalla moved to a more peaceful life in Stellenbosch. She redefined what it meant to live authentically. Surrounded by nature, horses, and her beloved dogs, Lalla embraced a lifestyle centered on wellness — from yoga and meditation to nurturing her mental health. It was here that she fully understood the power of slowing down, tuning into her body, and practicing daily self-care. This lifestyle transformation wasn’t just to keep to her self — it became her message to the world.
In the quiet moments of reflection, Lalla realized that true health and success don’t come from external validation but from internal alignment. She found peace in her own skin, strength in her choices, and joy in the simple things that now guided her life.
Life Source: More Than a Brand, A Movement
Today, Life Source is the culmination of Lalla's personal healing journey and professional expertise. As a leader, Lalla has made it her mission to provide PCOS sufferers with the tools and resources they need to thrive naturally. Life Source isn’t just a supplement brand; it's a movement for women who want to live authentically and without compromise.
Through Life Source PCOS Support, Lalla offers a powerful solution — one that combines years of scientific research, natural ingredients, and a deeply personal understanding of the challenges women with PCOS face. But it doesn’t stop there. Lalla has built a community, a tribe of women who share their stories, support each other, and empower one another to take control of their health.
Lalla's Vision: Empowering Women to Thrive
“PCOS is tough, but it doesn’t have to define you.” That seems like a simple statement but it's a profound one to women who are diagnosed with PCOS and use it as their defining characteristic, "which I did in the past" Lalla says
"You can take control of your health. You can live authentically. You don’t have to choose between success and well-being, or just trying to make it till bed — there is more living to be done than that!."
Her journey from celebrity stardom to holistic health advocate is a testament to the power of transformation. Through Life Source, Lalla is helping women not only manage PCOS but reclaim their energy, vitality, and sense of self.
If there’s one thing Lalla Hirayama has learned, it’s that true strength comes from embracing the authentic self — flaws, struggles, and all.
Life Source isn’t just about managing symptoms — it’s about helping women thrive in a way that feels right for them.
