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...
This is so informative and useful yet easy to understand. Please continue uploading contents.
Thanks a million!!! These videos are very helpful!!
So helpful! Many thanks for sharing your knowledge.
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 🙏
"under weight" issues and how weight gain support is never really spoke about on youtube as much . If anyone agrees please share thoughts.👍🏾
Will you please speak more about women having too much progestin with high androgen index?
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
What are your thoughts on kombucha? Thanks!
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!
