You can turn this around!
If you've been doing “all the right things” — eating healthy, moving your body, cutting sugar — but your energy is still tanked, the scale is stuck, and your cravings feel louder than your willpower… it's not because you're failing.
It's because your body isn't responding to insulin the way it's supposed to.
When your cells stop “listening” to insulin, your body has to pump out more and more just to keep blood sugar in check. Over time, that's what we call insulin resistance — and it's a big reason behind stubborn weight, fatigue, PCOS symptoms, thyroid flares, and crazy cravings.
Here's the good news: you can turn this around.
1. Start with the basics — making your body more insulin sensitive again
🍠 Pair your carbs with protein and healthy fats — never eat carbs alone. This slows the blood sugar spike and keeps you fuller longer.
🫐 Focus on fiber — veggies, berries, chia seeds, flax, beans (if tolerated). Fiber helps your body process carbs more gently.
🏃♀️ Move after meals — even a 10-minute walk can lower your blood sugar significantly.
🍗 Prioritize protein — aim for 20–40g per meal to keep your metabolism active and your hunger stable.
💊 Use targeted supplements — berberine is a favorite of mine (it works similarly to metformin but is natural), magnesium, and inositol can be powerful supports.
2. Remove the sneaky insulin resistance triggers
😴 Poor sleep (less than 7 hours consistently)
😱 High stress & cortisol (yes, your stress is making your blood sugar worse)
🥑 Processed seed oils (swap for avocado, olive, coconut oil, grass-fed butter)
🍩 Ultra-processed snacks & sugary coffee drinks
🍽️ Skipping meals (yes, under-eating can make you more insulin resistant over time)
3. Where GLP-1s fit in — and why they can be life-changing
For some women, especially those with diagnosed insulin resistance, PCOS, or Hashimoto's, GLP-1 medications can be the jump-start their body needs.
💉They:
Improve insulin sensitivity rapidly
Reduce inflammation
Calm food noise & cravings so you can make better choices without white-knuckling it
Support steady blood sugar so your energy and mood are more stable
Help reduce visceral fat, which directly impacts hormones
I've seen women go from years of struggling to losing fat steadily, gaining energy, and finally feeling like their body is on their side again — and it's not magic, it's biology finally working the way it's meant to.
Whether you go the natural route, start with targeted supplements like berberine, or choose to layer in a GLP-1 for faster results — the key is strategy. This isn't about another diet. It's about re-training your body to listen to you again.
I can help you figure out which path is right for you and create a plan that works for your lifestyle — without restriction, overwhelm, or endless guessing. You don't have to fight your body forever. Let's get her back on your team. 💛
P.S. One of my clients recently realized she was eating carbs with nothing but protein powder — which digests super fast — and it was leaving her moody, hungry, and stuck with stubborn weight. Once we balanced her meals with the right proteins, fats, and fiber, her energy stabilized and the scale finally started moving. If you're feeling “off” and not seeing progress, insulin resistance might be the missing piece of your puzzle too.
