What Is Insulin and Why Does It Matter?

In this episode, we break down insulin — the hormone at the center of diabetes, weight gain, energy crashes, and more. Whether you're living with diabetes or just trying to understand how your body handles sugar, this is a must-watch.

We’re joined by a medical expert to explain what insulin is, how it works, and what happens when things go wrong.

You’ll learn:

  • What insulin does in the body
  • How insulin resistance develops
  • The link between insulin and type 2 diabetes
  • Signs your insulin response might be off
  • The difference between basal and bolus insulin
  • How diet, movement, and lifestyle affect insulin

This is your science-based guide to one of the most important — and misunderstood — hormones in your body.
