Dr. Arti Thangudu on the "As a Woman" Podcast: What Everybody Needs to Know About Insulin Resistance
Is Insulin Resistance Holding You Back? Let’s Talk About It.
Have you ever felt like your body just isn’t listening to you anymore—your energy is low, your cycle is off, your workouts don’t “work,” and your labs say you’re fine... but you know you’re not?
I recently had the incredible opportunity to join Dr. Natalie Crawford, a renowned reproductive endocrinologist, on her popular podcast As a Woman. Together, we unpacked the science—and the lived experience—of insulin resistance, a root cause issue affecting millions of women, often without their knowledge.
This conversation was deeply personal and professionally urgent.
We covered:
✅ What insulin resistance really is—not just a blood sugar issue, but a breakdown in communication between your hormones and your cells.
✅ Why it matters for fertility, mood, metabolism, and longevity—even if your A1C is “normal.”
✅ The subtle signs your body is giving you—and the lab tests that go beyond the basics.
✅ When supplements or medications help, and when they may distract from root causes.
✅ What to actually do—with real, practical shifts in nutrition, movement, sleep, and stress that restore hormonal balance.
As a triple board-certified physician in endocrinology, internal medicine, and lifestyle medicine, I know how dismissive the healthcare system can be—especially for those who “look fine on paper.” This episode is about giving you the knowledge, tools, and validation you deserve.
Why This Matters for You
If you’re a physician, attorney, executive, or entrepreneur juggling it all, the signs of insulin resistance can sneak up:
Afternoon crashes
Sugar cravings
Unexplained weight gain
Irregular or heavy periods
Fertility challenges
It’s not just about diabetes prevention. It’s about preserving your health, vitality, and power in every aspect of life.
