Скачать или смотреть # 81 PCOS, Insulin Resistance & The Hormone Doctors Miss

If you’ve ever been told “your labs look fine” while your body loudly disagrees, this episode is for you. Lori sits down with Dr. Ali Chappell—a nutrition scientist, reproductive endocrinology researcher, and registered dietitian—to reframe PCOS and beyond through the lens of the hormone that most of us never test: insulin.
Together, they unpack why A1C can look “normal” while fasting or post-meal insulin runs high; how that blocks ovulation, fuels acne and fatigue, and complicates pregnancy; and why menopause symptoms often escalate when insulin creeps up.
Ali breaks down low-insulin living without obsession or calorie counting, clears up the dairy/protein powder debate (yes, we’re looking at you, whey), and shares a simple script for getting your clinician to order the right labs.
You’ll walk away with practical food swaps, a clearer map of the metabolism–hormone connection, and—most importantly—more hope.
