All About Cortisol | Dr. Shelly MD

Insulin is the key to unlocking your body's energy storage. Understanding its role is crucial for managing weight and overall health.

In this episode, I discussed insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas that plays a critical role in regulating blood sugar levels and energy storage in the body and how hormones influence weight gain and loss, emphasizing insulin's five primary functions, including regulating blood sugar levels and promoting energy storage. I explore the concept of insulin resistance, detailing its association with conditions like PCOS and diabetes, and the resultant impact on weight gain.

Furthermore, to help manage insulin levels, I have mentioned several strategies such as limiting high-glycemic foods, increasing fiber intake, incorporating regular exercise, and ensuring sufficient sleep.
