Metabolic syndrome affects millions of women and many don’t even realize they have it.

If you’ve been doing “everything right” with food, dieting, or weight loss but still struggle with belly fat, blood sugar issues, fatigue, cravings, or stubborn weight that won’t budge, this episode is for you.

In this episode of the Food Freedom Podcast, I break down what metabolic syndrome actually is, how it develops, and why it’s not a willpower problem.

Drawing on the research and teachings of Dr. Ben Bikman, we talk about the real root cause behind metabolic syndrome: insulin resistance and how years of blood sugar spikes, emotional eating, food addiction, and chronic dieting quietly set the stage for metabolic dysfunction.

You’ll learn:

• What metabolic syndrome is and how it shows up in the body

• Why insulin resistance, not calories, is the real driver

• How food addiction and emotional eating contribute to metabolic damage

• Why traditional dieting often makes metabolic syndrome worse

• What actually helps reverse metabolic syndrome in a sustainable way

• How food sobriety and real food can support metabolic healing

This episode connects the dots between metabolic health and your relationship with food, so you can stop blaming yourself and start working with your body instead of against it.

If you’re ready to understand why your body has been fighting you and what to do about it, this conversation will give you clarity, compassion, and a path forward.
