If you are doing all of that and still getting little results, your insulin resistance can be of a hormonal nature. Either your cortisol is off or your sex hormones are off and need to be investigated. If you contact our office and speak to Jessica, she can help you investigate a little further (812)346-1757 Also fasting is not a bad idea, but don't take it too far. I tend to like time restricted feeding more. Preferably an 8 hour eating window to give insulin a rest and allow the body to work through what it needs too and give the liver some love. I am not a fan of strict diets. If you are eating the way that you are and can eat a variety of foods that is normal and good, but if you have sensitivities, then your immune system and gut have probably come into play. Of the 5 R's in Functional Medicine, you have covered the Remove portion and it sounds like you have done a great job. But you need: Replace, Reinoculate, Repair and Rebalance. Some great books to read are: Glucose Revolution, Fiber Fueled: The Plant-Based Gut Health Program for Losing Weight, Restoring Your Health, and Optimizing Your Microbiome, Fast Like a Girl: A Woman’s Guide to Using the Healing Power of Fasting to Burn Fat, Boost Energy, and Balance Hormones, and The Complete Guide to Fasting: Heal Your Body Through Intermittent, Alternate-Day, and Extended Fasting. These will help arm you with knowledge about yourself and help you establish some foundational health. But you would be served well to get some testing done to see where your foundational health is at. *Disclaimer- The is not medical advise, there is no doctor patient relationship here. You should seek out a functional medicine provider that will work with you and your established medical team.*

Hum, I did a long post and it has disappeared, gotta love censorship. So I will rephrase and see if this gets through the algorithm. Remember we do not have a doctor patient relationship, so no diagnosis or anything like that is happening. I am talking from experience with past patients and since I have never met you, I can not talk from such experience. We are all individuals and unique. :) Since you are doing all of that, you have done a relatively good job of the Remove "R" of the 5 "R" program in functional medicine. The other "R's" are Replace, Reinoculate, Repair, and Rebalance. Since you are in menopause most likely the weight and insulin resistance are due to hormonal issues. This could be stress, sex hormones, microbiome issues or even mitochondrial issues. I would recommend reaching out to Jessica here at office for further guidance (812)346-1757. Some testing would be in order. As far as things you could try, time restricted feeding. Your thought of fasting is good, but be careful so you do not stress your thyroid. I generally recommend that if one is going to fast, they should do it under supervision, especially when insulin is that high. PS - You troubles here are where most women start with us, so you have both hope and help.

@@integratedhealthofindiana thank you so much for the detailed response. I am having an ultrasound done for my thyroid next week and will continue to monitor. I just did a 40 hr fast and plan on doing a 36-40 hr fast weekly and the rest of the week eating mindfully and not over fasting. In the past , I have responded well to fasting but will also make sure my thyroid is feeling supported. I live in hawaii unfortunately, so becoming a patient in Indiana is unlikely at this time. Mahalo for sharing so much great information on line . Too many people struggle with metabolic issues . ❣️🙏🏼

@@indigopisces read the books Fast Like a Girl and The Complete Guide to Fasting, if you haven't already. As far as being in Hawaii, we do telehealth, this is nothing new to us. :) Regardless, we are here to help and good luck on your journey. :)
