In this episode of The Health Pulse Podcast, we uncover the importance of fasting insulin testing—a powerful yet often overlooked marker that can reveal signs of metabolic dysfunction years before blood sugar levels show a problem.

Learn how insulin resistance develops, why hyperinsulinemia can go undetected for so long, and how this early warning signal is connected to chronic conditions like diabetes, obesity, PCOS, fatty liver disease, and even cognitive decline. We also explain what your fasting insulin and HOMA-IR scores mean and how to interpret them.

Discover practical ways to improve insulin sensitivity through nutrition, movement, quality sleep, and stress management—even without major weight loss.

🎧 Tune in to learn why asking for a fasting insulin test could be the most important thing you do for your long-term health.
