Insulin resistance is often framed as a blood sugar or weight problem, but for women, it is fundamentally a hormonal and inflammatory issue with profound implications for ovarian function, fertility, and long-term health.

Practical Takeaways
• Insulin resistance affects hormones long before blood sugar appears abnormal
• Ovarian function depends on metabolic safety signals
• Stability, nourishment, and regulation improve insulin sensitivity
• Weight is often a symptom, not the cause, of metabolic disruption
• Healing begins when metabolism and hormones are addressed together

Listener Reflection
• Where might your body be signaling metabolic stress rather than failure?
• What symptoms have you been trying to override instead of interpret?
• How could consistency, nourishment, or nervous system regulation shift your hormonal health?
• What would it look like to support insulin sensitivity without burnout?

In this episode, we sit down with Stephanie Lurch, health equity leader, educator, and advocate whose work is grounded in a simple but radical idea: healthcare should be human.

Against the backdrop of the current political climate and the evolving relationship between Canada and the United States, we explore how two neighboring countries with vastly different healthcare systems approach care, equity, access, and dignity. While national-level reform often feels slow, stalled, or uncertain, especially in the U.S., this conversation focuses on what individuals, clinicians, and communities can do now to restore humanity to healthcare.

Together, we examine how power, culture, and policy shape patient experiences, and how relational care, storytelling, and community engagement can transform health outcomes, even within imperfect systems.

Chronic Inflammation: When the Body Is Whispering and Why Women Pay the Price

Description:
Dr. White explores chronic inflammation as a biological signal of unmet needs rather than a disease itself. This episode explains why women are uniquely vulnerable, how inflammation intersects with hormones and immunity, and why many “healthy” foods including dairy, soy, seed oils, and processed protein products can quietly drive inflammatory responses. Using the Eight Dimensions of Health, listeners are guided toward prevention rooted in self-trust, biology, and integrative wisdom.
