Mastering Menopause And Midlife

Hormonal Chaos: The Hidden Impact of Insulin Resistance in Menopause

Dr. Adrienne ND Season 1 Episode 5

In this episode I challenge the common perception that menopause symptoms are solely due to declining hormones. Instead, we talk about how the drop in hormones leads to deeper imbalances bubbling to the surface which fuel symptoms.  One of the imbalances that is very common in menopasue and midlife is insulin resistance and it can fuel a lot of menopause symptoms. In this episode we talk about the role of insulin and the consequences of insulin resistance, and its links to various health issues. I also outline 4 powerful strategies to manage and correct insulin resistance, promoting overall well-being and symptom reduction in menopause.
