Jessica had always been able to manage her weight.
A clean diet, regular workouts, and the occasional glass of wine were her normal.
But somewhere after 40, things changed.
The scale stopped moving. The belly bloat got worse. Her doctor told her to “eat less and move more.”
She did.
Nothing worked.
Then she heard one phrase that changed everything:
Insulin resistance.
The Weight Loss Roadblock No One Talks About
Insulin resistance is when your body stops responding to insulin properly, making it nearly impossible to lose weight—especially around the belly.
Here’s what makes it worse:
- Hormone imbalances from perimenopause and beyond
- High stress and cortisol spikes
- Poor sleep and chronic fatigue
- Diets that seem healthy but spike blood sugar 😮💨
Even women eating right and exercising daily can struggle when insulin resistance is in play.
Jessica’s Turning Point: GLP-1s + Hormone Support
After a full hormone panel at Silk Life, Jessica learned she had:
✔️ Elevated fasting insulin
✔️ Low estrogen and progesterone
✔️ Undetectable testosterone levels
Her protocol combined Semaglutide (GLP-1) therapy with peptide support and bioidentical hormone replacement.
In 3 months, she dropped 21 lbs.
But more importantly—her cravings disappeared, energy returned, and her body felt like hers again.
Q&A: What You Should Know About GLP-1s for Women
Q: What are GLP-1s, and why are they so effective?
A: GLP-1 receptor agonists like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide slow digestion, reduce appetite, and help reset insulin sensitivity—perfect for stubborn weight loss and metabolic resets.
Q: Do I have to take it forever?
A: Not necessarily. Most Silk Life clients use it as a bridge—we address the root issues (like hormones and habits) while GLP-1s create momentum.
Q: Will this work for me if nothing else has?
A: If you’ve been stuck despite trying everything, a full evaluation can reveal hormonal or metabolic blocks keeping your body from responding.
