Insulin resistance: the hidden driver behind many hormonal symptoms
In insulin resistance, your cells respond less to insulin, so your body has to produce more of it to keep your blood sugar stable. This can go on for years while standard blood sugar values still look normal. Meanwhile, high insulin can affect your cycle, your weight, your energy and your long-term health.
Does this sound familiar?
“I’m tired after every meal and crave sweets in the afternoon.”
“My belly keeps growing, even though I eat well.”
“My blood sugar is ‘normal’, but I still feel something is off.”
“I have PMOS, and nobody has ever checked my insulin.”
“Diabetes runs in my family, and I want to prevent it.”
How we approach it
We look beyond a single blood sugar value: insulin, metabolic markers, body composition and, if suitable, continuous glucose monitoring, so you can see how your body reacts to food, sleep and stress. Your plan combines nutrition, movement and muscle-building, sleep and, if medically appropriate, medication. Because insulin and sex hormones influence each other, we always look at your cycle and hormones too.
