In this episode of "Fit Girl Magic," I chat with Dr. Morgan Nolte about all things Insulin Resistance—what it is, how to know if you may have it, and most importantly what you can do about it. We dig into symptoms like stubborn weight gain and endless thirst, plus the surprising link between insulin resistance and Alzheimer’s (aka type three diabetes!).

Dr. Nolte goes into great detail on why lifestyle changes outperform meds, especially for us women over 40, and she shares her thoughts on intermittent fasting, gut health, and why perimenopause needs more attention.

Have a listen for some real talk on living healthier, feeling better, and making those small, powerful changes that stick.

Today’s Fit Girl Magic podcast episode is a game-changer. I’ve got Daniel Packard on the show, and trust me, you’re going to want to lean in for this one. At first, I thought we’d be talking about managing anxiety—you know, the usual stuff. But Daniel takes it so much deeper. He dives into the real reason behind those anxious feelings—the fears and doubts that keep us playing small.

Daniel’s story is powerful. He’s been where you are—crippled by anxiety, feeling stuck, and settling for less. But instead of just managing it, he created a system to break free from it completely. And guess what? It works. Like, 90% success rate works.

In this episode, Daniel and I talk about how to stop just coping and start living without the weight of anxiety, perfectionism, people-pleasing, procrastination, and low confidence. His six-week system is all about simplicity and getting real results—fast. And here’s the best part: You don’t pay until you get those results.

If you’re tired of just getting by and ready to actually feel confident, calm, and in control, this episode is for you. Daniel’s approach is all about making it doable and effective. No fluff, just real talk and actionable steps to help you live your best life.
