Manage episode 431822795 series 3550154
In this episode we dive deep into insulin resistance. Insulin resistance is a normal physiological process that has promoted survival from starvation for humans throughout evolution. But today, in this day and age, insulin resistance is activated by overnutrition in our toxic food environment.
It is a very prevalent metabolic dysfunction. An estimated 87 million American adults have pre-diabetes and 30% to 50% will go on to develop Type 2 diabetes. Insulin resistance is the root cause and precursor to pre-diabetes and Type 2 diabetes.
Simple lifestyle changes can improve insulin resistance and reduce the risk of a lot of the health conditions that go along with it.
In this episode youβll learn:
What is insulin resistance?
What causes insulin resistance?
Who gets insulin resistance?
What are the biomarkers to look for?
How can we reduce or reverse insulin resistance?
