Perimenopause can feel like your body changed the rules overnight, and insulin resistance often sneaks in as part of the chaos. The Turds connect the dots between shifting hormones, blood sugar swings, stubborn weight gain, and energy crashes that leave people frustrated and confused. They explain why insulin sensitivity matters more during this phase of life, how stress and sleep play a role, and what signals the body is actually sending. A grounded, relatable look at metabolic changes through a functional lens that fits right into the podcast’s bigger mission of making complex health topics feel approachable.
