What happens to insulin, glucose, muscle, and metabolism during perimenopause and menopause?

In Episode 21 of the Eat Kale and Cupcakes Podcast, Laura Cipullo and Shannon Herbert, take a whole-person look at insulin resistance and the menopause transition. We break down the physiology behind glucose and insulin metabolism, discuss why changes in insulin sensitivity can be part of the menopause picture, and explore what hormonal changes may mean for lean body mass, bone health, and metabolic health.

And because menopause is about so much more than a number on the scale, we also talk about how to support metabolic and endocrine health without falling into rigid food rules, obsessive tracking, or an all-or-nothing approach to nutrition and exercise.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Normal glucose and insulin metabolism: What happens after we eat, how glucose enters the bloodstream, and how insulin helps move glucose into cells.

• What is insulin resistance? We revisit our favorite taxi cab analogy to explain what happens when cells become less responsive to insulin.

• Insulin resistance and menopause: Why changes in estrogen and other hormones can influence glucose regulation and insulin sensitivity during perimenopause and menopause.

• Laura’s personal experience: Laura shares her own experience navigating insulin resistance alongside the menopause transition.

• Continuous glucose monitors (CGMs): What a CGM measures, how it may help someone observe changes in glucose patterns, and the limitations of using glucose data as a measure of overall metabolic health.

• What changes hormonally during menopause: We discuss declining estrogen and its relationship with changes in lean body mass, bone mineral density, and other aspects of health.

• The protective effects of estrogen: Why estrogen matters beyond reproductive health and why its effects on bone, muscle, and metabolic health are important to understand.

• Creatine and lean mass: We explore the potential role of creatine as one tool for supporting muscle health during midlife and menopause.

• Nutrition during menopause: How nutrition needs and priorities may shift during this life stage, including considerations around protein, carbohydrates, fats, and overall energy intake.

• Food sequencing: Could the order in which we eat carbohydrate, protein, fiber, and fat influence post-meal glucose responses?

• Resistance training: Why maintaining and building muscle is an important part of supporting metabolic, bone, and functional health.

• Fed vs. fasted workouts: Does exercising fasted provide a meaningful metabolic advantage, or might fueling your workout be more supportive for some people?

• Mindfulness and metabolic health: We discuss the role of mindfulness and stress regulation, including research connecting mindfulness practices with improvements in markers such as hemoglobin A1c.

• Avoiding rigidity and obsession: Why tracking glucose, macros, exercise, or food can become counterproductive—particularly for people with a history of eating disorders or disordered eating.

• Our favorite protein sources: Practical, flexible ways to incorporate protein without turning menopause nutrition into another set of rigid rules.

What happens when athletes become so disconnected from their bodies that they learn to override hunger, fatigue, pain, and the need for rest?

In Episode 20 of Eat Kale & Cupcakes, Laura Cipullo and Shannon Herbert sit down with Amy Gardner, MS, RD, CEDS-C, RYT, a registered dietitian and certified eating disorder specialist with more than 20 years of experience in the eating disorder field. Together, they explore the intersection of sports nutrition, mindfulness, exercise, eating disorders, and the mind-body connection—with a particular focus on adolescents and athletes.

Amy shares how her own experience as a former athlete, along with her work with eating disorders, shaped her approach to helping athletes reconnect with their bodies and develop a healthier relationship with movement and food.

In this episode, we discuss:

Compulsive exercise vs. beneficial movement: How can you tell when exercise has shifted from something that supports health and performance to something driven by obligation, guilt, or compulsion?

Fueling adolescent athletes: Why adequate nutrition matters for growth, development, training, performance, and recovery—and what can happen when athletes consistently underfuel.

The mind-body connection in sport: Why athletes can become disconnected from hunger, fatigue, pain, and other body signals, and how mindfulness can help rebuild body awareness.

Using mindfulness to enhance athletic performance: Amy shares practical ways athletes can use breath, body awareness, and present-moment attention during strength training, walking, and other forms of movement.

Signs of training too hard and underfueling: What athletes, parents, coaches, and healthcare professionals should watch for when training demands begin to exceed recovery and nutritional support.

Hunger cues and structured fueling: Why athletes in recovery may need both mindful eating and intentional meal and snack planning—and why waiting for hunger isn't always enough.

When athletic identity changes: How injury, retirement, transition out of sport, or changes in athletic identity can affect food, exercise, body image, and eating-disorder risk.

Movement as connection—not disconnection: How we can shift the purpose of exercise from controlling or changing the body toward connection, enjoyment, strength, performance, and well-being.

A key takeaway

For athletes, especially adolescents, more exercise is not always better. Training requires adequate fuel, recovery, rest, and attention to the body's signals. Mindfulness can be a powerful tool for helping athletes notice those signals rather than automatically overriding them.

As Amy explains, beneficial movement should be additive rather than depleting—supporting energy, mood, connection, and performance rather than consistently leaving the body exhausted.

Whether you're an athlete, parent, coach, dietitian, therapist, or healthcare professional, this episode offers practical strategies for recognizing the difference between healthy training and compulsive exercise and for supporting a more sustainable relationship with movement and nourishment.

How do we raise resilient teens in a world shaped by social media, appearance-driven trends, and rising mental health challenges?

In Part 2 of our conversation with adolescent medicine physician Dr. Risa Fridy, we explore why adolescence is one of the most important—and misunderstood—stages of development. We discuss how the developing brain influences decision-making, emotional regulation, and risk-taking, and why caring for teens requires a different approach than caring for adults.

From viral trends like looksmaxxing and the pressure to achieve the "perfect" appearance to understanding why eating disorders often function as coping mechanisms rather than simply being about food, we unpack the biological, psychological, and social factors shaping adolescent health today.

We also take a deep dive into the medical aspects of eating disorders. Dr. Fridy explains why clinicians look beyond body weight when assessing recovery, why laboratory values must always be interpreted within the clinical picture, and why markers like T3 can provide important insight into nutritional status.

We discuss sick euthyroid syndrome, the body's adaptations to malnutrition, and how undernutrition affects the developing adolescent brain—including increased rigidity, anxiety, impaired concentration, and reduced mental flexibility.

Whether you're a parent, healthcare provider, educator, or simply interested in adolescent health, this episode offers evidence-based insights for supporting teens with compassion and understanding.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Why adolescence is a unique stage of brain development

• How the prefrontal cortex influences decision-making, emotional regulation, and impulse control

• The impact of social media and appearance-focused trends like looksmaxxing

• Practical ways parents can build resilience instead of perfectionism

• Why eating disorders often serve as coping mechanisms rather than simply being about food or weight

• Why eating disorders require long-term multidisciplinary care

• How malnutrition changes the developing brain, leading to cognitive rigidity, anxiety, and reduced mental flexibility

• Why clinicians monitor much more than body weight during eating disorder treatment

• Why "normal" lab work doesn't always mean adequate nutrition

• Why T3 is an important marker of nutritional status

• Understanding sick euthyroid syndrome and the body's response to undernutrition

• Why weight restoration doesn't always mean complete medical recovery

Key Takeaways:

• The adolescent brain continues developing into the mid-20s.

• Resilience, connection, and emotional safety are powerful protective factors against mental health challenges.

• Eating disorders are complex biopsychosocial illnesses—not lifestyle choices—and often develop as ways to cope with emotional distress.

• Malnutrition affects every organ system, including the brain, impacting thinking, concentration, and emotional regulation.

• Healthcare providers interpret symptoms, growth, vital signs, physical exams, and laboratory trends together—not in isolation.

• Low T3 and sick euthyroid syndrome are common physiologic adaptations to undernutrition and do not necessarily indicate primary thyroid disease.

Can you be an intuitive eater and still manage insulin resistance?

*Disclaimer: This episode was filmed prior to the recent 2026 renaming of PCOS--> PMOS. You will hear us referring to PMOS as PCOS throughout the episode.

In this episode, we're separating myths from science and exploring how to support both metabolic health and a healthy relationship with food when living with PCOS/PMOS.

While intuitive eating can be a valuable framework for healing your relationship with food, insulin resistance—a hallmark feature of PCOS/PMOS—can make hunger, fullness, cravings, and energy levels feel less predictable.

In this episode, we're unpacking the nuanced relationship between intuitive eating and PCOS/PMOS. We'll explore how insulin resistance affects hunger regulation, why blood sugar management involves more than just carbohydrates, and how to approach nutrition in a way that supports both metabolic health and food freedom.

Whether you're newly diagnosed or have been navigating PCOS/PMOS for years, this episode will help you understand why intuitive eating may feel challenging at times—and how to make it work for you rather than against you.

In This Episode, You'll Learn:

• What insulin resistance is and why it's so common in PCOS/PMOS

• Why insulin resistance can exist even when your A1C is normal
• The difference between insulin resistance, pre-diabetes, and diabetes
• Why carbohydrates aren't the only foods that influence insulin

• The labs and tests that may provide insight into insulin resistance
• How insulin resistance can impact hunger, fullness, cravings, and energy
• Why intuitive eating can feel more difficult with PCOS/PMOS
• Practical ways to build meals that increase satisfaction and satiety
• How to integrate intuitive eating principles while supporting metabolic health
