## Resource

Shannon Davis, a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist with more than 19 years of experience specializing in metabolic health and insulin resistance. She's a founding board member of the American Diabetes Society, an Insulin IQ Coach, and the founder of a successful virtual metabolic health practice where she's helped nearly a thousand people reverse insulin resistance, lose weight, and even put type 2 diabetes into remission. Shannon's background spans dialysis, organ transplant, bariatrics, and pharmaceutical sales — giving her a unique perspective on why food, not medication, is the real solution to most dietary conditions. She's been featured on over 50 podcasts as an expert in metabolic health, and when she's not helping people transform their lives, you'll find her in the gym doing CrossFit or spending time riding horses — her lifelong passion.
