Key Takeaways.

With insulin resistance, the cells in the body are not getting the energy they need. This is where the 25% reduction in brain energy during perimenopause can come from.

If you have a history of PCOS, then you likely have a history of insulin resistance because they often go hand in hand.

Fasting for too long, in conjunction with exclusionary diets such as the keto diet, can cause hormone disruptions.

Angela's Insights.

'Insulin resistance is about having chronically elevated insulin'

'The brain needs to be able to burn ketones'

'Women under 35 - their hormonal system is a lot more sensitive to food signals'

'The goal is to feel well'
