Signs of Insulin Resistance in Women with PCOS
Insulin resistance is hiding in your PCOS symptoms, and here’s what’s really happening:
Those intense carb cravings and stubborn weight? That afternoon crash, no amount of coffee fixes? Your cells might be resisting insulin’s signals instead of using glucose properly.
For women with PCOS, insulin resistance:
→ Traps fat instead of burning it
→ Triggers higher testosterone production
→ Worsens inflammation and fatigue
The good news? It’s perfectly reversible. The first step is recognizing these subtle signs:
✓ Ravenous hunger (especially for sweets/chips)
✓ Weight that sticks despite “doing everything right”
✓ Dark patches on skin (neck/underarms)
✓ Energy crashes between meals
Your hormones don’t have to stay stuck this way. Get my Hormone Assessment Quiz to start balancing insulin resistance now.
