Insulin resistance…

They tell you to eat less sugar. Try harder.

Here is what they missed.

In perimenopause insulin resistance is directly correlated to fluctuating and declining Estrogen.

Estrogen directly maintains insulin receptor sensitivity through GLUT4 transporters which move glucose out of your blood and into your cells.

When estrogen declines GLUT4 expression drops. Your cells stop responding to insulin regardless of what is on your plate!

This is why you can be:

✅ Eating clean

✅ Exercising regularly

✅ At a healthy weight

And still be insulin resistant at 42 with an A1C of 5.8 or less!!!

Estrogen deficiency is independently associated with insulin resistance separate from diet, body weight and activity level entirely

➡️ You are not doing everything wrong. You are missing the hormonal piece nobody explained.

Ladies! There is a lot to be said for early intervention!

BRAIN PROTECTION: Women who start hormone replacement therapy between ages 46 and 56 may slash their dementia risk by up to 23%.

The UK Biobank analysis of more than 183,000 postmenopausal women found HRT was linked to a 10% lower risk of all-cause dementia and a 16% lower risk of Alzheimer's disease over 13 years.

Starting HRT after age 56 showed no reduced risk — and doctors caution the observational study can't prove cause and effect, meaning the findings alone don't warrant seeking out hormone therapy purely for dementia prevention.
