Feeling tired, craving sugar, or noticing stubborn belly weight? You’re not alone and it’s not just “getting older.” Insulin resistance is one of the most common (and sneakiest) health issues women face after 50. But here’s the good news: it doesn’t have to boss you around.

This lighthearted, practical guide explains insulin resistance in simple, everyday language, with a dash of humor to keep things real. Inside, you’ll discover:

• What insulin resistance actually is (no medical degree required).
• The surprising ways stress, sleep, and hormones make a difference.
• Simple, doable lifestyle shifts that bring your energy back.
