Episode Description from the Publisher

How long does it actually take to reverse insulin resistance? Is it 30 days, 90 days, six months—or years? This episode of Optimal Metabolism was originally recorded as an Instagram LIVE, where I answered this question and talked about what it really takes to improve insulin sensitivity and metabolic health. There isn't one universal timeline for reversing insulin resistance, but that doesn't mean you have to wait years to start seeing progress. I break down the symptoms that can tell you your metabolism is moving in the right direction, the lab values that can help you objectively measure progress, and why fasting glucose alone doesn't always tell the whole story. Most importantly, we talk about how much progress you can make in 90 days when you stop jumping from one strategy to another and consistently work on the right things. WHAT I DISCUSS: Why there isn't one timeline for reversing insulin resistance What affects how quickly insulin sensitivity improves Early signs your metabolic health is improving Hunger, cravings, energy, weight, and other symptoms to watch Symptom resolution vs. lab values—how do you actually know you've reversed insulin resistance?
