Weight Is a Symptom, Not the Cause of Insulin Resistance

Описание: Weight gain is often treated as the cause of insulin resistance — but it’s usually a symptom, not the root problem.

In this video, Dr. Jennifer Davis, MD (physician and lifestyle medicine specialist), explains why telling women to “just lose weight” often fails to reverse insulin resistance, prediabetes, and type 2 diabetes.

Using a personal analogy from her own medical journey, Dr. Davis breaks down the difference between outward signs and underlying causes — and why focusing only on weight can lead to repeated cycles of dieting, weight regain, and worsening metabolic health.

In this video, you’ll learn:
• Why weight gain is a marker, not a mechanism
• How insulin resistance actually develops
• Why weight-focused advice misses the physiology
• What needs to be addressed to improve blood sugar regulation

This approach is evidence-based, weight-inclusive, and physiology-first — focused on stress, muscle health, food quality, sleep, and metabolic function, not shame or willpower.
