Nutrition & DietHow to End Insulin Resistance After 40 Using Muscle, Fasting and Metabolic Data
Insulin resistance becomes increasingly common after 40, especially around menopause, and this video tackles why conventional approaches like caloric restriction often fail. Thomas DeLauer sits down with Dr. Jon Schoeff to explore a data-driven framework for reversing insulin resistance. Key strategies include building muscle as a primary metabolic lever, using strategic intermittent fasting to deplete glycogen and shift toward ketosis, and targeting specific biomarkers like fasting insulin and HbA1c. The conversation also covers how GLP-1 medications can serve as tools rather than crutches, why insulin resistance is fundamentally an inflammatory condition, and how women over 40 face unique challenges including sarcopenia, PCOS, and hormonal shifts that standard treatments like metformin often miss.
