Episode 240- What You Really Need to Know About Insulin Resistance & GLP-1 (That No One's Telling You)


Listen Later

Episode Description: In today's episode (originally recorded as an Instagram Live), I'm answering some of your most pressing questions about insulin resistance and the buzz around GLP-1 medications—through the lens of real healing, root cause solutions, and God's design for the body.

We're talking about:

  • Why you might still have insulin resistance even if your labs look "normal"

  • What actually happens when insulin is high—even if your blood sugar isn't

  • How long it takes to reverse insulin resistance (and what most people get wrong)

  • Why some people struggle with insulin resistance even when they're not overweight

  • What GLP-1 is, and why it affects hunger and fat loss

  • How to naturally support GLP-1 function without meds

  • What happens when you stop taking medications like Ozempic or Mounjaro

  • And the truth about whether GLP-1 meds fix root issues or just mask symptoms

Plus: I'm sharing the exact free resources and tools I use with clients to naturally support insulin, blood sugar, and hormone balance—without gimmicks or restriction.
