In this episode of the Radiant Revolution Podcast, Kim breaks down one of the biggest missing conversations in women’s health: insulin resistance in perimenopause and menopause.

She explains how declining estrogen directly impacts insulin sensitivity, why so many women suddenly struggle with stubborn belly fat and exhaustion, and why traditional advice like “eat less and move more” often makes things worse.

Kim also dives into the connection between cortisol, muscle mass, blood sugar, and metabolism, while sharing practical steps women can start implementing immediately to improve insulin sensitivity and support long-term metabolic health.
This episode is packed with simple, actionable education that helps women finally understand why their body is changing and what to actually do about it.
