Your Guide to Correcting Insulin Resistance

If you're struggling with fatigue, stubborn weight gain, or irregular cycles, insulin resistance could be at the root. Insulin Resistance affects far more than just blood sugar. In this episode, we break down everything you need to know to identify, understand, and correct insulin resistance.

 

A few things we chat about in this episode 👇👇👇

  • How to spot insulin resistance and confirm it with the right labs

  • Common symptoms you might be overlooking

  • The connection between insulin resistance, PCOS, thyroid health, and fertility

  • Why the “just cut carbs and exercise more” approach doesn’t work

  • Nutrient deficiencies that can worsen insulin resistance

  • How mitochondrial health impacts energy, metabolism, and blood sugar

  • Hormone shifts in perimenopause and menopause and their effect on insulin sensitivity

  • Practical strategies for using carbs, fats, and exercise to improve insulin function
