#397 - You're Not a Unicorn, You're Just Under-Resourced with Leila Lutz

Part two with @leilalutz.

If you missed part part comment POD396 and I’ll DM you the link to listen to part 1.

This one goes somewhere different.

We get into why perimenopause has become the industry's new favourite thing to sell you.

Why "you're not a unicorn, you're just under-resourced" might be the most useful sentence in this whole conversation.

Why insulin resistance almost never means your hormones are just failing you out of nowhere, it means chronic stress has cortisol and adrenaline running the show, blocking insulin from doing its job.

Why muscle matters so much, because it acts like a sink for glucose and improves your insulin sensitivity.

And then we get real.

Leila told me she had to make an actual appointment with herself to go to the gym because somewhere along the way she'd decided she didn't deserve to.

If you've ever felt guilty for resting, for eating, for taking up space, this one's for you.

comment POD397 and i'll send you the link to part 2.
