THE INSULIN TYPE

# Insulin Resistance Explained

If you've been gaining weight despite eating well, struggling with stubborn belly fat, or feeling wiped out after meals — insulin resistance is often what's going on. In the video below, I break down what insulin resistance actually is, why your doctor probably isn't testing for it the right way, and what's worked best in my experience for getting it back into balance.

If this resonates, here's what we'd suggest as next steps.
