Insulin resistance is often framed as a blood sugar or weight problem, but for women, it is fundamentally a hormonal and inflammatory issue with profound implications for ovarian function, fertility, and long-term health.
Practical Takeaways
• Insulin resistance affects hormones long before blood sugar appears abnormal
• Ovarian function depends on metabolic safety signals
• Stability, nourishment, and regulation improve insulin sensitivity
• Weight is often a symptom, not the cause, of metabolic disruption
• Healing begins when metabolism and hormones are addressed together
Listener Reflection
• Where might your body be signaling metabolic stress rather than failure?
• What symptoms have you been trying to override instead of interpret?
• How could consistency, nourishment, or nervous system regulation shift your hormonal health?
• What would it look like to support insulin sensitivity without burnout?
