When most people think about metabolism, they think about weight or blood sugar. When they think about hormones, they think about estrogen, testosterone, or maybe thyroid. But here’s the truth: your metabolism and your sex hormones are deeply connected.

In this episode of the Lifestyle School Podcast, Hope unpacks how insulin resistance and metabolic dysfunction directly impact testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone — in both men and women. You’ll learn why high insulin makes men less masculine and women less feminine, and how restoring insulin sensitivity helps your body express the health, confidence, and vitality it was designed for.

If you’ve been feeling like your body isn’t working the way it should — low energy, irregular cycles, low libido, mood swings — don’t just chase symptoms. Start with your metabolism. Tune into this episode to learn how your sex hormones depend on metabolic health, and discover practical steps to restore balance.
