| 2/11/26 |  Are You Insulin Resistant? A Simple Calculation Can Tell You | Do you have insulin resistance—and would you even know it if you did? In this episode, Virta clinician and board-certified clinical lipidologist Dr. Forrest Estes joins the conversation to show how insulin resistance often hides in plain sight. Using a simple calculation from labs you’ve likely already had, Forrest breaks down what blood lipids really reveal about metabolic health—and why blood sugar alone doesn’t tell the full story. If you’re looking for practical, no-jargon insights you can actually use, this episode is for you. | — | ||||||
