Insulin resistance is increasing in the American population especially (and surprisingly) among young women. Is this just women with PCOS? Can you have it if you don't have pre-diabetes? Can you have insulin resistance without weight concerns? Laura and I tackle this topic because it impacts so many women -- their overall health, women's health, cycles issues and infertility. We talk about how insulin resistance can impact ovulation, why balance between insulin and glucose is so important, lifestyle changes that can help, and how to know when lifestyle changes aren't doing enough.
