Insulin Resistance: The Hidden T1D Problem

In this episode, we chat with Aimee Jose about the power of everyday movement and its impact on insulin resistance.

Aimee breaks down how physical activity doesn’t have to mean gym memberships, punishing workouts, or finding an extra hour you don’t have. Instead, she shows us how simple shifts—like standing more, using your desk differently, or sneaking in a few squats—can meaningfully support insulin sensitivity.

We dig into why muscle activation matters, how small consistent habits build big health wins, and why “effective exercise” might look a lot simpler (and more doable) than you’ve been led to believe. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by traditional exercise advice, this conversation will feel like a deep exhale.
