The most common cause of weight gain

There can be a strong hormonal component to abdominal weight gain. And in most people, that hormone is insulin.
In this episode, Lara discusses insulin resistance including:
- why you could have insulin resistance even if your blood sugar is normal
- the role of mitochondria, and
- all the ways to lower insulin and improve metabolism.

    Wonderful!! I've been trying for YEARS to get a clue about my weight gain & how to help, sort out what to test for, how to analyze and what to ask my general practitioner for. If I get anywhere, I will post here! It might be a while...

    Thanks Lara! I love your videos I’ve just binge listened to your hormone repair book Now I want more Will you be putting your other period book on audible ? I’m 39 still having cycles but have just discovered that I have a couple of ovarian cysts , one is 4.5cm and the other is smaller and was described as a corpus luteum cyst and gynaecologist isn’t concerned about them but wants to check again after next period… my uterine lining is also slightly thickened… I have always had heavy periods and have 4 children …. Iron has always been an issue and I’ve just gotten my ferratin above 50 with strict supplements over the last 3 months and few better …. I’ve also started magnesium with passionflower extract 300mg at night and also zinc after reading you book …. Am hoping this next period is a little bit lighter … it’s due tomorrow so fingers crossed 🤞 Thanks again 🙏

    Also I am pretty sure I’d have hyperinsulanemia if I was tested as the weight around upper arms and belly has increased over the last two years

    The root cause is the Standard American Diet. A zero carb diet/ long term state of ketosis is the fastest and most direct path to restoring health. 90% of the food products in the grocery store didn’t exist 100yrs ago and neither did 90% of modern western diseases. The carnivore diet completely changed my life for the better and I can’t recommend it enough.

    Great information! I'm 44 years old and still on my period, I keep a pretty low weight and exercise and follow all your advices, so luckily I don't have insulin resistance but I'm curious what "gentle intermittent fasting" is in your opinion? I've been doing it for ten years (mostly 18-6) and now everyone is very careful about recommending it to women (specially at my age) but really eating 3 meals a day (which is the maximum suggested lately) in a very long eating window is kind of hard for me. What's your opinion about it? Fasting 14 hours throughout the month (that means follicular, ovulation, luteal and menstrual phases) is a good in-between, or should I stick to 12 hours. I have an endometrial polyp since many years (I remove it surgically but it appear again, in the same place!) who arrived just as I started doing the daily fasts and I really worry that evrything is connected. Thank you again for such valuable content!
