Optimal Metabolism
Episode Description: In today’s episode (originally recorded as an Instagram Live), I’m answering some of your most pressing questions about insulin resistance and the buzz around GLP-1 medications—through the lens of real healing, root cause solutions, and God’s design for the body.
We’re talking about:
Why you might still have insulin resistance even if your labs look “normal”
What actually happens when insulin is high—even if your blood sugar isn’t
How long it takes to reverse insulin resistance (and what most people get wrong)
Why some people struggle with insulin resistance even when they’re not overweight
What GLP-1 is, and why it affects hunger and fat loss
How to naturally support GLP-1 function without meds
What happens when you stop taking medications like Ozempic or Mounjaro
And the truth about whether GLP-1 meds fix root issues or just mask symptoms
Plus: I’m sharing the exact free resources and tools I use with clients to naturally support insulin, blood sugar, and hormone balance—without gimmicks or restriction.
