You’re eating healthy, staying active, and watching your calories—but the scale won’t budge. It’s frustrating, discouraging, and probably making you question your metabolism—or even your willpower.In this episode, we’re revealing three critical blood markers that most doctors don’t check (or overlook entirely) that could explain why you’re not seeing results. Ignoring them doesn’t just keep you stuck—it could put you on the path to diabetes or heart disease.We’ll show you what these markers are, what “normal” ranges to aim for, and how to start taking control of your results—without resorting to extreme diets or punishing workouts.If you’ve hit a plateau and don’t know what to do next, this episode will give you the answers you’ve been missing.Click here to watch the full video now!Resources From This Episode >> Insulin Resistance Diet Blueprint - https://www.zivli.com/blueprint?el=podcast >> Free Low Insulin Food Guide - https://www.zivli.com/ultimatefoodguide?el=podcast >> Join the Zivli Program Waitlist - https://www.zivli.com/join?el=podcast >> Test Your Insulin at Home - https://www.zivli.com/testing?el=podcast Have a question?

Have a question you want answered on the podcast? Send us a text!In this deeply honest episode, I return from maternity leave not just refreshed, but transformed. What made this postpartum season my best yet? It’s more than frozen meals and napping (though those help). For the first time, I open up about something I've never shared on this podcast: a raw, vulnerable look at the emotional wiring that kept me stuck in people-pleasing, and how I'm finally breaking free.You’ll hear the story behind the circuit in my brain that stole my peace… and the powerful tools I discovered to rewire it. We’re talking about Emotional Brain Training (EBT), the science-backed system that’s changing how I approach health, stress, and even spirituality.I also tackle something rarely talked about in wellness spaces: the intersection of faith and healing — not religion, but spirituality as a vital part of personal transformation.If you’ve ever felt like you “know what to do” but still sabotage your progress… if you’ve struggled with stress eating, snapping at loved ones, or just feeling like you’re not you anymore… this episode might be the wake-up call (and relief) you didn’t know you needed.Come for the postpartum update — stay for the truth bomb that might just set you free.>> Video Version of Pastor's Message>> Dr. Laurel Mellin's EpisodeResources From This Episode >> Insulin Resistance Diet Blueprint - https://www.zivli.com/blueprint?el=podcast >> Free Low Insulin Food Guide - https://www.zivli.com/ultimatefoodguide?el=podcast >> Join the Zivli Program Waitlist - https://www.zivli.com/join?el=podcast >> Test Your Insulin at Home - https://www.zivli.com/testing?el=podcast Have a question?
