Improving Insulin Resistance over 40 to Burn Fat (without cutting carbs) | MMP Ep. 191

You’re eating salads. You’re skipping dessert.

You even tried that "miracle" fast everyone’s raving about.

And STILL—your jeans are judging you from the closet.

If it feels like your fat-burning switch broke after 40, you’re not wrong. There’s a sneaky little hormone called insulin quietly sabotaging your results—and no one warned you about it.

In this episode, we’re spilling the (low-glycemic) tea on:

- What insulin actually does (it’s not just a “diabetes thing”)

- How it turns into your metabolism’s worst frenemy when it stays too high

- Why midlife fat gain isn’t your fault—and definitely isn’t just about willpower

- The real reason “eat less, move more” is a total fail after 40

- And yes—you can lower insulin without giving up carbs or living off black coffee and willpower

Bottom line? You don’t have to punish your body into fat loss. You just need to understand what it’s been trying to tell you.

So grab your coffee (with cream, I’m not judging) and tune in—because this one might just change how you think about weight loss forever.
