#45 When Weight Isn't the Problem, and What Really Is - With Allison Cale (Part 2)
In this episode:
- What thin PCOS is and why it’s often overlooked
- How stress and cortisol drive insulin resistance—even without sugar
- The connection between progesterone deficiency and estrogen dominance
- The role of continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) in uncovering hidden triggers
- Why under-eating, overtraining, and lack of sleep sabotage progress
- Emotional impact of being dismissed by doctors who say “your labs are normal”
- How to track symptoms, prepare for appointments, and advocate for your health
- First steps to uncover hidden insulin resistance
Key Takeaways:
- Insulin resistance can affect anyone, regardless of body type.
- Managing cortisol and stress is just as important as managing carbs.
- Progesterone is the body’s “calming” hormone—low levels can trigger anxiety and poor sleep.
- Tracking glucose and symptoms provides powerful insights into how your body responds to stress, food, and recovery.
- You don’t have to settle for “normal” labs or dismissive answers—trust your intuition and find a provider who listens.
