Hey everyone, I'm clearly a newcomer. This week marks my start with Reta, and I'm looking forward to what's ahead. A bit about me: 43, female, and I've invested years into understanding everything that supports rebuilding and fostering strong health and energy. My background includes long-standing insulin resistance, significant hormonal imbalances, and mitochondrial problems. I've put in serious effort on those fronts and made substantial progress. Still, shedding fat remains out of reach—my guess is ongoing high insulin levels, judging by my fasting glucose monitoring and how my body reacts to eating less along with keto/carnivore. I do produce ketones, yet my system resists releasing stored fat. I've already gone through numerous threads here, quietly taking in information and picking up hints about where to find things and useful advice.
