Welcome back to another episode of the Diabetes Digital podcast presented by Food Heaven.

Today we're going to talk about whether or not lifting weights helps with insulin resistance.

Spoil alert, the answer is yes. So when people think about insulin resistance, cardio often gets all of the attention.

I see this all the time on Instagram and on TikTok when I

reluctantly log in. But resistance training plays a really important role that doesn't get

talked about enough. So today we're breaking down how lifting weights actually affects insulin

sensitivity, why muscle matters for blood sugar regulation, and how this can look in a realistic,

non-punitive way.

If you are living with diabetes or pre-diabetes or PCOS or you just want some

personalized nutrition support from a dietitian for general lifestyle and wellness, and you

want that dietitian to be covered by insurance and you want them to be culturally humble

and weight inclusive, definitely check

us out at diabetes digital.co. And you can connect with a culturally aware and weight inclusive

dietitian on our team. Also, if you love this show, before I jump in, don't forget to rate

and review us on iTunes or Spotify. It really does make a difference for this show reaching more people. So many of our

patients do come from the show too. By the way, I would say maybe 20 to 25%. So your reviews really help

spread the word and keep our dietitian schedules full. Lastly, for additional resources and show
