In this episode, we’re getting deep into the topic of insulin resistance and its influence on weight loss. Insulin is a hormone which delivers a message to our cells to take glucose out of the blood to use for energy. The insulin is the key that fits into the receptor, which is the lock.   We’ll explore the critical role insulin plays in our bodies and discuss dietary strategies, exercises, and supplements that can help with insulin resistance. We also touch on the connection between menopause symptoms and insulin resistance, along with how it impacts the body's ability to burn fat. Later, we’ll compare the effectiveness of ketogenic and carnivore diets in reversing insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes.
