Overcoming Insulin Resistance and Continuous Glucose Monitoring with Leah Vachani

In this episode, Dr. Eric Osansky talks with certified nutritionist and menopause specialist Leah Vachani about blood sugar imbalances, insulin resistance, and how these issues often show up long before a diagnosis of prediabetes or type 2 diabetes. Leah shares how her work with women in perimenopause and menopause led her to see blood sugar as a major missing piece in hormone health, energy, sleep, and weight regulation.
