16: Healing Insulin Resistance and Finding Freedom from Diets

When willpower isn't enough, your biology and mindset might be the missing links in your weight loss journey.

Dr. Phildra Swagger sits down with Lisa Shaker Knopp, founder of Shake It Off Weight Loss Clinics, to explore the connection between insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, and why some women can’t lose weight even when doing everything “right.” Lisa shares her powerful personal story of overcoming decades of dieting frustration and how discovering the Ideal Protein protocol changed everything, both for her and thousands of women. Together, they discuss the importance of mindset, the science behind stubborn weight, and the role of accountability in long-term success.

With warmth and real talk, they unpack the shame many women carry around weight and how coaching can be a true lifeline. This is about more than weight; it's about reclaiming your health and your power.
