Episode notes

In this episode, Dr. Jockers breaks down the 10 critical warning signs your insulin levels are too high and what you can do to fix them naturally. He explains how excess insulin blocks fat burning, disrupts hormones, and leads to fatigue, brain fog, and stubborn belly fat — plus what your fasting insulin levels should really be.

You'll learn how to stabilize your blood sugar through the right combination of protein, healthy fats, and intermittent fasting. Dr. Jockers also shares how walking, strength training, and quality sleep can dramatically improve insulin sensitivity and metabolism.

Finally, discover simple, practical strategies — from apple cider vinegar before meals to optimal fasting windows — that help balance hormones, support energy, and lower inflammation without medication.
