Uncovering Insulin Resistance: A Women's Health Wake-Up Call

In this episode of Rooted Resilience, host Wendy introduces her aunt, nurse practitioner Lisa Frazier, to kick off a new women’s health series focused on insulin resistance. They explain what insulin resistance is, why it can be missed by standard tests, and why a whole-person approach matters.

They cover common causes (diet, inactivity, stress, poor sleep, hormones, and genetics), typical signs to watch for (post-meal crashes, cravings, weight gain, skin changes, and brain fog), and share simple practical steps listeners can start today: move more, balance meals with protein and fiber, prioritize sleep, and make small sustainable changes.
