20. Insulin Resistance and what you can do to REVERSE it.

Thriving through Menopause Podcast

Brace yourself as we tackle the stealthy nemesis of your metabolism—insulin resistance!

In this episode, we discuss how insulin resistance affects women, particularly as they venture through the tumultuous seas of perimenopause. From the crucial role of insulin in our body's energy economy to the grievous health risks when it's ignored—think heart disease, cancer, and beyond—we're uncovering the truths and misconceptions.
If you're sailing in these waters, you'll gain the knowledge to spot the icebergs of insulin resistance and chart a course to calmer, healthier seas.
On this voyage, we're not leaving our fate to the winds. Discover how wielding the power of lifestyle choices can steer us away from the treacherous cliffs of insulin resistance, even when the current of genetics tries to pull us back.
I'll share firsthand how a balanced diet, regular exercise, and targeted interventions like addressing sleep apnea can act as a lighthouse, guiding us to the safe harbor of enhanced insulin sensitivity.
You'll learn to read the signs—hunger shifts, weight changes, mood swings—and how these can signal the need to adjust your sails and take action for a healthier journey.
Lastly, we'll talk sustenance for the soul and body. We'll feast on the wisdom of whole foods, the timing of meals, and the satiating power of protein to fortify our vessels against insulin resistance. Coupled with managing the squalls of stress and embracing behavioral changes, you're set to embark on an empowered passage through menopause.
I'm extending an open invitation: join our community, share your stories, and find strength in the collective wisdom as we navigate these transformative years with confidence and care.
