Does Anyone Have Recommendations On Supplements For Insulin Resistance And Weight Loss?

Hi Peyton, my doc has me on Metformin to combat insulin resistance. About a month and a half ago, I took the brave decision to eliminate processed sugars from my diet and results on the scale are evident. I pair diet with medium intensity workouts and weightlifting at least 4x a week, which is helping too. For hormonal imbalance, he's got me on Spironolactone and suggested B12 vitamins for hair loss and fatigue, which I take every other day (dosage 2500mcg). Hope this helps 🙂

I am struggling with insulin resistance and weight loss. I would like to know if anyone has any suggestions on supplements and diets for gut health, weight loss, hormone balance, etc. I’ve really been struggling with being self conscious with my facial hair growth and my weight. I would like to feel better about myself and have more energy, I’m just not sure where to start. Thanks! 😊
