In this episode of the Advanced Women’s Health Podcast, we’re diving deep into the complex world of insulin resistance and its powerful impact on women’s health. I’m sharing my own story of overcoming weight loss resistance and how my personal journey inspired me to specialize in insulin and metabolic health. We’ll break down how insulin works, why high levels can wreak havoc on everything from weight management and energy to skin health and hormone balance, and why the root of insulin resistance often lies in inflammation, stress, and even the gut microbiome. So, if you’re tired of trying every diet and still not seeing results, this episode is for you!

Join me as we unpack what insulin resistance truly means, why it’s about more than just “eating right,” and how a holistic, data-driven approach can lead to lasting health.
