It’s running to the grocery store while waiting to pick up the dry cleaning. It’s making sure the kids and spouse have everything they need… often putting themselves and their health last. It can feel like an Invisible Burden... an evergrowing weight carried on the shoulders of many moms. And our society expects mothers to carry this load without question. What happens when we carry additional weight…? Our bodies are stressed and challenged in a magnitude of ways that can lead to stress, poor health.

Dr. Anthony explains how insulin actually works in the body, why insulin resistance becomes more common during perimenopause and menopause, and how factors like poor sleep, chronic stress, under-recovery, and mistimed carbohydrates quietly undermine metabolic health. You’ll also learn how strength training, gentle fasting, gut-supportive carbohydrates, nervous system regulation, and strategic nutrition help women become more metabolically flexible—supporting stable energy, healthy body composition, and long-term vitality.
