PCOS, Insulin Resistance, and the Low-Carb Fix for Women’s Health
Friday, 14 March, 2025
🎥 In this episode, Dr. Brian Mowll welcomes registered dietitian Temple Stewart to discuss the power of low-carb nutrition for women’s health, insulin resistance, and metabolic healing. Temple shares her personal journey—from struggling with PCOS and weight gain to reversing her symptoms through a ketogenic approach. They break down why conventional diet advice often fails and how strategic dietary changes can help women take control of their blood sugar and hormones.Why PCOS Is More Than Just a Hormonal IssuePolycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is often treated with medication, but the real root cause for most women is insulin resistance. Temple explains how blood sugar dysfunction drives hormone imbalances—and why fixing insulin levels naturally can restore cycles, improve fertility, and reverse stubborn weight gain.The Key to Sustainable Blood Sugar ControlMany women struggle with hunger, cravings, and low energy because they’re eating the wrong balance of macronutrients. Temple outlines how prioritizing protein, healthy fats, and non-starchy vegetables can stabilize blood sugar, support metabolic health, and make weight loss easier—without tracking calories or feeling deprived.Why Muscle Matters for Women’s HealthBlood sugar control isn’t just about diet—muscle plays a crucial role in insulin sensitivity. Temple shares why women need to prioritize strength training, how even short workouts can make a big impact, and why building lean muscle is key to long-term health and disease prevention.The Bottom LinePCOS, insulin resistance, and metabolic dysfunction aren’t lifelong conditions. With the right approach to food, exercise, and supplementation, women can regain control of their health, improve hormone balance, and feel their best.Key Takeaways6:42 – Why PCOS is like “diabetes of the ovaries”12:15 – The role of insulin in hormone imbalances18:27 – How diet influences cravings and energy levels24:49 – The best foods for satiety and metabolic health32:10 – Why strength training is critical for women38:21 – The supplements that can support blood sugar and hormone balanceResourcesWebsite: https://templestewartrd.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/the.ketogenic.nutritionistFacebook: facebook.com/templestewartrdnPodcast: The Ketogenic Nutritionist with Temple Stewart, Registered Dietitian Temple Stewart, Registered Dietitian-----------------------Support the show Support the show
