If you’ve been battling fatigue, stubborn belly fat, sugar cravings, or difficulty losing weight despite healthy habits, insulin resistance could be the hidden culprit. This common yet often overlooked condition affects how your body processes sugar—and when left unmanaged, it can lead to prediabetes, type 2 diabetes, and other metabolic issues.
At MediGyn, we specialize in hormone-related metabolic conditions like insulin resistance. With a functional medicine-based, personalized approach, we help patients understand the root cause and provide targeted treatments that bring lasting results.
Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that helps move glucose (sugar) from your bloodstream into your cells for energy. When you’re insulin resistant, your cells don’t respond effectively to insulin, causing your body to produce more of it. Over time, this leads to elevated blood sugar and insulin levels, which trigger fat storage—especially around the belly—and increase your risk for chronic diseases.
Constant fatigue or low energy
Increased hunger or sugar cravings
Difficulty losing weight, especially around the abdomen
Brain fog or difficulty concentrating
Irregular menstrual cycles (in women)
Dark patches of skin (often on the neck or armpits)
Elevated blood sugar or prediabetes diagnosis
High-carb, high-sugar diets
Sedentary lifestyle
Chronic stress (elevates cortisol, which interferes with insulin sensitivity)
Hormonal imbalances (e.g., PCOS, thyroid issues, menopause)
Lack of sleep
Genetics and family history
If left unmanaged, insulin resistance can progress into type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, fatty liver disease, and even certain cancers. It also worsens hormonal conditions like PCOS and contributes to obesity and inflammation throughout the body.
The good news? Insulin resistance is reversible—especially with the right guidance and early intervention.
At MediGyn, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all treatment. Instead, we use advanced diagnostic testing to understand your hormonal profile, metabolic status, and lifestyle factors. Based on this information, we create a personalized insulin resistance management plan that may include:
Depending on your lab results, we may prescribe medications that improve insulin sensitivity, such as:
Metformin: A widely used medication that helps reduce blood sugar and improve the body’s response to insulin.
GLP-1 Agonists (e.g., Semaglutide): These support appetite regulation and glucose control while promoting weight loss.
These are always prescribed under the supervision of our medical team, and we monitor your response closely.
Hormonal issues like estrogen dominance, low thyroid, and cortisol imbalances can make insulin resistance worse. Our integrative approach may include:
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT)
Thyroid hormone optimization
Stress hormone management (including adrenal support)
We offer personalized nutrition plans focused on:
Low-glycemic, anti-inflammatory foods
Timed eating or intermittent fasting (when appropriate)
Reducing sugar and refined carbs
Incorporating insulin-sensitizing foods like leafy greens, healthy fats, and fiber
We also help design an exercise plan tailored to your fitness level—because movement significantly improves insulin sensitivity.
Based on your needs, our experts may recommend scientifically backed supplements such as:
Berberine
Magnesium
Chromium
Alpha-lipoic acid
Inositol (especially for women with PCOS)
These supplements work synergistically to support glucose metabolism and insulin function.
Sustainable weight loss and fat reduction
Improved energy and mental clarity
Reduced sugar cravings
Balanced hormones
Lower risk of diabetes and metabolic disease
Better sleep and mood
Enhanced overall well-being
You may benefit from insulin resistance testing if you:
Have a family history of diabetes
Struggle with weight despite eating healthy and exercising
Have PCOS or irregular periods
Feel tired after meals or crave sugar often
Have been diagnosed with prediabetes, high cholesterol, or high blood pressure
