Does this sound familiar? You find yourself overweight – maybe 10, 20 or 30+ pounds overweight and you decide to do something about it. So you steel your resolve and you go on a diet. It’s a tough road, but you’re tougher, you’re up for the challenge. You cut out your beloved pizza and ice cream, eat more salads, and stay disciplined and on track – until finally you hit your goal weight. You congratulate yourself for having the fortitude to accomplish your goal. But then a year or so later, you somehow find yourself right back where you started… or worse yet, maybe even a little heavier than your pre-diet weight. So you start the cycle all over again.
The fact is that most of us have at some point in our lives have had personal experience with the difficulties of maintaining a healthy weight. But why is that? I mean, in this day and age of such fantastic technological advancements and so much scientific knowledge, why is this so hard? We often hear experts say that it’s simple math – simply eat fewer calories than you expend and you’ll lose weight. And while that’s a great starting place, that advice has been around forever and as a population we’re becoming more overweight – not less. Despite all of the nutritional advice, tips, tricks, diets, pills, detoxes, supplements, and fads many of us are still struggling with maintaining a healthy weight.
But hat if everything we think we know about weight loss is wrong? What if it’s not all about that vague prescription of eating less and exercising more? What if the optimal way to lose weight and permanently keep it off is by living a low insulin lifestyle?
My Guest today is Dr Morgan Nolte. Dr Morgan started her professional career as a geriatric physical therapist, but in seeing that the vast majority of her patients were overweight and obese, decided she wanted to dedicate her life to helping people maintain a healthy weigh.

And as you’ll hear in this insightful interview, Dr Morgan has a very clear and concise message on how we can combat the obesity epidemic.
In this episode we are going to deep dive into the harmful effects of insulin resistance and its role in weight gain. Dr. Morgan shares her four pillars of living a low insulin lifestyle, and give us some great practical “hacks” that can help us learn how to live a lifestyle that supports a healthy body weight for the rest of your life.
