Insulin resistance is a condition where the body's cells become less responsive to insulin, a hormone that helps regulate blood sugar levels. 

There is an intricate link between estrogen levels and how the body uses insulin and glucose therefore women in their 40's and beyond are more at risk of insulin resistance as their estrogen levels decline. Risks associated with insulin resistance include::

1. Type 2 Diabetes: Insulin resistance is a major risk factor for developing type 2 diabetes. 

2. Cardiovascular disease: Insulin resistance is associated with an increased risk of heart disease and stroke. 

3. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD): Insulin resistance can lead to the accumulation of fat in the liver.

4. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS): Insulin resistance is commonly seen in women with PCOS.

5. Sleep Apnea: Insulin resistance is associated with an increased risk of sleep apnea.

6. Cancer: Insulin resistance may increase the risk of certain cancers, such as breast, colon, and pancreatic cancer.

Fortunately insulin resistance is positively influenced by lifestyle factors including a balanced diet, optimal eating times, regular exercise, stress, sleep and weight management
