The Dr. Joey Munoz Show

If you’ve been told that insulin resistance is the reason you can’t lose weight, you’ve been misled. The truth is the exact opposite. Losing weight is what improves insulin sensitivity, not the other way around. In this episode I break down why this myth became so popular, what insulin really does in your body, and why it doesn’t actually block fat loss. You’ll hear how the research flips the story: low carb or low fat diets work the same when calories are controlled, fasting is not magic, and fruit, even with its sugar, supports better health instead of working against you. By the end, you’ll see why insulin is not the enemy of weight loss. The real key is creating a sustainable calorie deficit, eating in a way you can maintain, and building habits that make the results last.
