In my 30s & 40s, I did all the diets, tried all the gimmicks, over-exercised, lost and gained the same pounds over & over. At 50, I had accomplished so much - except in this one very important area - and was through wasting time and energy on temporary fixes!

In this episode of Fat Loss School, I’m bringing you another Book Report and breaking down one of the most important health books I’ve read: Why We Get Sick by Dr. Benjamin Bikman. Don’t worry—I did the science reading so you don’t have to! Dr. Bikman argues that insulin resistance is at the root of many of today’s most common chronic health problems, including obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, fatty liver disease, Alzheimer’s disease, infertility, and more. The good news? Insulin resistance is not a life sentence. In this episode, I’ll translate the science into simple, practical takeaways specifically for women over 50 who want to lose fat, gain energy, preserve muscle, and improve their long-term health. In This Episode You’ll Learn: ✔️ What insulin actually does in the body ✔️ What insulin resistance is and why it matters ✔️ Why belly fat and insulin resistance often go hand-in-hand ✔️ The surprising connection between insulin resistance and chronic disease ✔️ The simple lifestyle habits that help reverse insulin resistance ✔️ My biggest takeaways from Dr. Bikman’s research If you’re ready to improve insulin sensitivity, lose body fat, build lean muscle, and create healthy habits that actually fit real life, I’d love to coach you inside FASTer Way to Fat Loss® for women 50+.
