Learn how high insulin and blood sugar affect blood pressure, cholesterol, triglycerides, and inflammation long before diabetes shows up on a lab test.

I'm also bust common cholesterol myths, explore how estrogen impacts your lipid profile, and clarify the difference between good and bad fats for heart health.

If you're tired of being told your labs are “fine” but you know something feels off, this episode is your invitation to go deeper, ask better questions, and start taking charge of your metabolic health.

🎧 Topics we cover:

  • The truth about insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome

  • What HDL and LDL really mean (and why balance matters)

  • How perimenopause and menopause affect cholesterol

  • The fats that fuel your heart—and the ones that inflame it

  • A functional medicine approach to reversing metabolic dysfunction

🩺 Because understanding your body changes everything.
