You’ve been told your labs are “normal”…
 So why do you still feel exhausted, foggy, and out of sync with your body? 

In this episode of Discover Your Personal Power: Hormones, Metabolism & Midlife, Peggy Moore—Registered Nurse and Functional Medicine Practitioner—breaks down the early signs of insulin resistance that often show up years before blood sugar or A1C levels change. 

If you’ve ever experienced:
 ✔ That 2–4PM energy crash
 ✔ Intense sugar cravings
 ✔ Brain fog after meals
 ✔ Waking up at 3AM
 ✔ Stubborn weight gain (especially in the midsection) 

…your body may be sending signals—not failing. 

This episode connects the dots between hormones, metabolism, stress, and blood sugar, helping you understand what’s really happening beneath the surface. 

💡 You’ll learn:
 • What insulin actually does in your body
 • Why “normal labs” don’t always mean optimal health
 • Early warning signs of metabolic dysfunction
 • Simple, foundational steps to support your metabolism 

Your body isn’t broken—it’s communicating.
 And when you understand the signals, you can start working with your body instead of against it.
