How Sabrina Lost 72 Pounds and Took Control of Her Metabolic Health

We often hear from people who have struggled for years to improve their health, only to find that traditional advice wasn’t enough. Sabrina’s journey is a perfect example of how focusing on insulin resistance—not just weight loss—lead to real, lasting transformation.


The Wake-Up Call: Gestational Diabetes That Didn’t Go Away

Sabrina’s health concerns began when she was diagnosed with gestational diabetes during her second pregnancy. Like many women, she was told the condition would resolve itself after childbirth. However, at her postpartum checkup, a glucose tolerance test showed otherwise—her blood sugar levels remained high, and her doctor classified her as pre-diabetic.

Despite doing everything she was advised—losing weight, exercising, and following mainstream nutritional guidelines—her A1C kept rising, reaching 6.1 by August. She felt frustrated, unwell, and at a loss for what to do next.

Finding a New Approach: Insulin IQ and Dr. Ben Bikman

Everything changed when Sabrina stumbled upon an Instagram post about Dr. Ben Bikman. His research on insulin resistance immediately clicked, making more sense than anything she had heard before. She then found Insulin IQ’s content and began implementing key lifestyle changes:

  • ✔️ Adding more healthy fats into her diet instead of fearing them.
  • ✔️ Prioritizing muscle-building exercises over excessive cardio.
  • ✔️ Focusing on hydration and electrolytes to support metabolic function.

These shifts made an immediate impact—Sabrina began feeling stronger, more energized, and, for the first time, in control of her health.

72 Pounds Down—And Finally Seeing Progress

By January, Sabrina had lost 72 pounds and saw her A1C drop to 5.9. While she still has goals to reach, she is finally moving in the right direction—something conventional advice never helped her achieve. “I feel amazing and I’m so grateful for the information and support from Insulin IQ,” she said.

Key Takeaways from Sabrina’s Story

  1. Not all weight loss is the same—traditional dieting didn’t work because it ignored insulin resistance.
  2. Muscle-building and proper hydration played a major role in her metabolic turnaround.
  3. Science-based information matters—finding Insulin IQ helped her make the right changes, not just any changes.
