I didn't receive a link to today's master class.

Early insulin resistance does not show up on a basic metabolic panel. Fasting glucose and HbA1c can both be normal, and yet the woman in front of me is exhausted, foggy, gaining weight around her midsection, waking at 3am, and has been dismissed by two or three physicians who told her everything looks fine. Fasting insulin shows a different picture. A result above 8 to 10 µIU/mL alongside normal glucose is the pattern I see consistently in high-achieving women in their 40s. It does not trigger a diagnosis, but it is the beginning of a cascade that, left unaddressed, becomes much harder to reverse. Caught at this stage, it responds well. That is exactly why we test rather than guess. Have you ever had your fasting insulin tested? Comment below. 💛

Happy Monday! This time of the year is perfect to start spending more time in the kitchen cooking healthy, delicious, and cozy homemade meals. Each Monday, I'm going to post a new recipe for you to try to get you excited about cooking, because I believe cooking at home does not need to be overwhelming, it can actually be very therapeutic and relaxing! Recipes are a great way to try something new as well :) Today's recipe is one I just made over the weekend - Healthy Turkey Chili: https://www.ambitiouskitchen.com/seriously-the-best-healthy-turkey-chili/ It is full of fiber, hidden veggies, and protein while being so flavorful! The best part is that it makes so much, so you have leftovers all week which makes dinners so much easier, or it can easily be frozen for later. Let me know if you try it!

Where are all of the doctors who passionately focuses on these things to ensure their patients success in being better health wise because Im currently looking for a new primary care physician

Every time I see this my internal alarm goes off, that is well and good for smaller folks, but as a person who is double my healthy weight (well was at one point but still 100 pounds overweight) when I have done that in the past I created problems with my heart. This may not be the case for others, but I didn't realise at that time that my attempt to be healthy, in my case was creating risk.
