In this solo episode, Lizzie breaks down everything you need to know about insulin resistance: what it is, why it is quietly behind so much of the weight gain, fatigue, inflammation, and metabolic chaos she sees in her clients every day, and most importantly, what you can actually do about it without going straight for medication. She shares the specific lab test your doctor is likely skipping, walks through a real client story that shows exactly how this plays out, shares her own personal experience going into insulin resistance from chronic stress and poor sleep, and lays out the research-backed lifestyle changes that have been shown to rival medication for blood sugar and insulin management.
