Insulin Resistance in Women

from Obesity: The War Within · host Brian Samuel, MD

You're eating the way you always have, but your body is responding like the rules changed. In this episode, Dr. Brian Samuel breaks down insulin resistance in plain language: what insulin actually does, why hormonal transition makes blood sugar handling shift, and how that connects to stronger cravings, afternoon energy crashes, and weight that settles around the middle. This is not a willpower problem and it is not your imagination. It's chemistry, and once you understand it, you can work with your body instead of fighting it. This podcast is for education and is not personal medical advice.
