Fit Girl Magic | Healthy Living For Women Over 40

In this episode of "Fit Girl Magic," I chat with Dr. Morgan Nolte about all things Insulin Resistance—what it is, how to know if you may have it, and most importantly what you can do about it. We dig into symptoms like stubborn weight gain and endless thirst, plus the surprising link between insulin resistance and Alzheimer's (aka type three diabetes!). Dr. Nolte goes into great detail on why lifestyle changes outperform meds, especially for us women over 40, and she shares her thoughts on intermittent fasting, gut health, and why perimenopause needs more attention. Have a listen for some real talk on living healthier, feeling better, and making those small, powerful changes that stick.
