Description

Are you struggling with stubborn weight gain, constant fatigue, or brain fog you just can't shake? The hidden culprit might be insulin resistance, a condition that affects millions of people, often without them even knowing it.

In this episode of The GoodLife in Health and Wellness, Dr. Kate Duncan breaks down what insulin resistance really is, why it's so common today, and how it quietly disrupts your metabolism, energy, hormones, and overall health. You'll learn:

  • How insulin works like a "key" to unlock your cells, and what happens when the key stops working.

  • The lifestyle factors that drive insulin resistance, from diet and stress to poor sleep and hormonal imbalances.

  • Why it causes fatigue, cravings, stubborn belly fat, and energy crashes throughout the day.

  • The ripple effects on hormones, inflammation, and long-term health risks.

  • Practical, evidence-based strategies to restore insulin sensitivity, through nutrition, exercise, stress reduction, sleep, and targeted supplements.

Research shows that lifestyle changes can improve insulin sensitivity in just weeks. Tune in to discover how you can calm inflammation, support your metabolism, and reclaim your energy, naturally.
