Berberine is one of the most popular supplements for improving insulin sensitivity and supporting fat loss — but many people are using it incorrectly, stacking it unnecessarily, or taking it when they don't actually need it.

In this episode, I break down:

• What insulin resistance really is and how it affects fat storage

• How berberine works like nature's metformin to support blood sugar control

• The correct berberine dosage and timing for best results

• Berberine phytosome vs HCl (and why bioavailability matters)

• The most common berberine mistakes I see with women

• When berberine is helpful — and when it's unnecessary

• How GLP-1 medications and HRT already increase insulin sensitivity

• Why stacking berberine with GLP-1 or HRT can create diminishing returns

• How supplement overlap slows progress and wastes money

• The 4 supplement category framework (metabolic, foundational, hormonal, gut)

You'll also learn how sleep, walking, strength training, cortisol balance, and an anti-inflammatory diet naturally improve insulin sensitivity — and why personalized supplement plans always outperform generic advice.

This episode is for you if you're:

✔ Struggling with insulin resistance

✔ Using berberine for fat loss

✔ On GLP-1 medications

✔ On hormone replacement therapy

✔ Taking a large supplement stack

✔ Feeling unsure about supplement overlap
