Insulin resistance is one of the most widespread yet overlooked health challenges today. It develops quietly, often years before blood sugar or A1C rise, but it can shape nearly every aspect of health — from energy and weight to inflammation, hormones, and even the brain.

In this episode of Mindful Objective, we break down what insulin resistance really is and why it matters. You’ll learn how this “silent disruptor” develops, why so many people miss the early warning signs, and how it can contribute to symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, stubborn weight gain, and migraines.

We’ll explore the practical lifestyle strategies that make the biggest difference — including nutrition, exercise, stress reduction, and sleep — along with research-backed supplements shown to support insulin sensitivity, such as magnesium, berberine, alpha-lipoic acid, CoQ10, and omega-3 fatty acids.

You’ll also hear how migraines can be triggered by blood sugar swings, vascular changes, and inflammation — and how improving insulin sensitivity can be an important piece of migraine prevention.

If you’ve ever felt “off” despite normal lab results, this episode will help you connect the dots and understand why insulin resistance could be part of your story.
