The Glucose Diaries with Stephanie Lindamood

Ep 02: You Might Be Insulin Resistant If… (10 Sneaky Signs You’ve Been Ignoring)

Episode 2

If you’ve ever been told “you’re just getting older” or “it’s probably hormones,” but deep down you know something feels off — this episode is for you. Today, we’re talking about the real-life signs of insulin resistance — the everyday symptoms your doctor might not ask about, but that show up loud and clear in your body. From afternoon energy crashes and stubborn belly fat to sugar cravings and restless sleep, these are your body’s early warning signs that your metabolism needs attention.

In this episode of The Glucose Diaries™, Stephanie explains how insulin resistance can build silently for years — long before it ever shows up in your lab work. You’ll learn how fatigue, cravings, bloating, poor sleep, and midsection weight gain all connect back to elevated insulin. She walks through the top 10 red-flag symptoms, including 3 PM energy crashes, feeling “hangry,” intense sugar cravings, low HDL or high triglycerides, and waking up hot or wired at night.

You’ll also get three simple places to start:
 1️⃣ Track your symptoms and patterns.
 2️⃣ Grab the free Insulin Resistance Checklist to see where you stand.
3️⃣ Focus on blood sugar balance by eating protein first, walking after meals, and cutting added sugars.
Because you don’t need a diagnosis to start making changes — you just need to recognize the signs your body’s already giving you.

If you’ve been searching “why do I crash after lunch,” “why can’t I lose weight even though I eat healthy,” “why am I tired all the time,” or “how to tell if I’m insulin resistant,” this episode will give you the clarity you’ve been missing.
