Insulin Resistance | Why Women Struggle to Lose Weight Despite Doing Everything Right
Manage episode 483916363 series 3594257
In this episode, Garrett "GQ" Query exposes the truth about why so many women struggle with weight loss despite "doing everything right." If you're a busy mom experiencing afternoon energy crashes, stubborn weight gain (especially around your midsection), and feeling like you need to starve yourself just to see the scale move, this episode reveals the hidden metabolic saboteur: insulin resistance.
Drawing from his own journey of losing 180 pounds and overcoming serious health challenges, Garrett shares how the fitness industry's male-centric "eat less, move more" advice is metabolic suicide for many women. Through client success stories like Olivia, who went from restricting to 1300 calories to eating 1800-2000 calories while losing 26 pounds, you'll discover:
- Why normal blood sugar tests can completely miss insulin resistance
- How your current diet and lifestyle perfectly create insulin resistance
- The strategic protein timing trick that eliminates afternoon energy crashes
- Why muscle building (not cardio) is your metabolic salvation
- The shocking impact of sleep on insulin sensitivity (equivalent to 6 months on a high-sugar diet!)
This isn't about willpower or discipline—it's about understanding your body's metabolic signals and working with them instead of against them. Discover the Intentional Strength Method that's helping women transform their relationship with food, energy, and their bodies.
Remember: We are not normal! We are Intentional.
