Now, here's where things get interesting. High insulin levels can actually have a negative impact on female hormones, particularly those involved in the menstrual cycle.

ESTROGEN: high insulin levels can disrupt the production of the hormone estrogen. This can lead to a variety of issues, including irregular periods, fertility problems, and an increased risk of certain types of cancer.

PROGESTERONE: High insulin levels can also affect the production of another important hormone called progesterone. This hormone is responsible for preparing the uterus for pregnancy, and low levels of progesterone can lead to fertility issues as well.
