Weight gain is a common challenge for many, and today we are debunking some myths and shed light on the Insulin Resistance and Weight Gain.

Our guest, Dr. Maribeth Orr – a board-certified obesity medicine specialist with two decades of experience is diving into Insulin resistance and weight gain.

Insulin plays a crucial role in regulating blood sugar levels, energy production, and growth within our bodies. However, when cells become resistant to insulin, it sets off a chain reaction leading to elevated blood sugar levels and potential weight gain.

Insulin resistance, if left unchecked, can progress to prediabetes and eventually type 2 diabetes. The goal is to catch and treat insulin resistance early to prevent further complications. Dr. Orr emphasizes the importance of stress management, a healthy diet, regular exercise, and sufficient sleep in combating insulin resistance.

When it comes to food choices, opting for whole, unprocessed foods can aid in managing insulin levels. Foods that promote natural satiety while avoiding highly processed, sugary options can play a key role in supporting metabolic health.

Insulin resistance and weight gain are strongly connected and the key takeaway is to prioritize treating insulin resistance to prevent the progression to more severe conditions. Starting the day with a balance of healthy fats and protein can set a positive tone for overall health and well-being.

Remember, your health journey is unique, and seeking guidance from healthcare professionals is essential. Stay tuned for more insights on metabolic health and strategies to support your well-being.
