The Glucose Diaries with Stephanie Lindamood

Ep 01: The Hidden Hormone Blocking Your Fat Loss (Even If You’re Not Diabetic)

Stephanie Lindamood Episode 1

If you’ve been eating less, working out more, and still not losing weight — this episode is for you. We’re talking about insulin resistance — the hidden hormone imbalance that affects your metabolism, cravings, fat storage, and energy levels. Most people have never been told how insulin really works or how it can silently block fat loss even when your labs look “normal.”

In this episode of The Glucose Diaries™, Stephanie breaks down what insulin is, how it functions, and why it’s the reason so many people over 40 struggle with stubborn belly fat, afternoon crashes, and unexplained weight gain. You’ll learn how insulin acts like a “storage switch” — keeping your body in fat-storage mode instead of fat-burning mode — and what simple habits can help turn that around.

Here’s what you’ll discover:

  • What insulin resistance actually means and how it develops long before diabetes or prediabetes show up on a lab test
  • Why you can still have normal blood work but experience fatigue, bloating, cravings, and slow fat loss
  • The connection between high insulin, inflammation, and midlife weight gain
  • Simple fixes you can start today: eat more protein (especially at breakfast), walk for 10 minutes after meals, and eat your food in the right order (fiber → protein/fat → carbs)

These small shifts make a big impact on blood sugar control, fat burning, and energy. You don’t need to cut out carbs completely or live in the gym — just learn how your body actually works and support it with the right rhythm.

If you’ve been searching “why can’t I lose weight after 40,” “why am I tired after I eat,” “how to balance blood sugar naturally,” or “how to fix insulin resistance,” this episode will finally give you the clarity you’ve been missing.

🎧 Listen now to understand what’s really going on behind the scenes and learn how to reset your metabolism — no fads, no fear, just science made simple.
