#27 Insulin and How It Affects Hormones, The Obesity Epidemic, Fasting 101, and How Women Should Fast To Protect Hormones

In this episode, I chat about how Insulin is the main driver for metabolic and hormonal imbalances. I talk about what has changed in our society to create the Obesity Epidemic. I also talk about how toxicity needs to be addressed anytime you are trying to control obesity or fat loss.The Total Tox lab from Vibrant is on sale through the end of August (no code needed!) and can be found HERE. I also chat about signs that you may be insulin dominant or resistant including (but not limited to) hormonal imbalances, chronic skin conditions, high blood pressure, inflammation, digestive issues, obesity, PCOS, NAFL, cardiovascular disease, Thyroid and Adrenal issues, cognitive decline and neurodegeneration, brain fog, energy issues/chronic fatigue and so many more chronic conditions. I also talk about tracking blood sugar, and I love Nutrisense for this! Save with code DRSTACYND I also talk about tracking your metabolic flexibility with the LUMEN. This is going to help you get metabolically flexible by helping you go in between fat and carb burning as needed. Save with code DRSTACY ($50 off!) Lastly, I talk about how women need to fast differently than men because of all of our compensatory mechanisms for our hormones. I talk about how to support hormones during different part of our cycles and times in our lives.
