Insulin resistance…huh?

Have you heard your doctor talk about insulin resistance, and thought, “Huh?”

Well, I got you. Let’s break it down:

The body was designed to bring in food, break it down into glucose, and then send it to the cells in your liver, skeletal muscle, and fat cells. It LOVES this process b/c it helps us make energy in the form of ATP!

However, when there is EXCESS glucose (which could be about food, genetics, or both) our bodies will expertly BLOCK the intake of that excess glucose into the cell. This is smart for the cell, but not so smart for our wellness generally. Many physiological mechanisms happen on a more cellular level, and these result in clinical issues such as:

• Fatigue
• Brain Fog
• Weight Loss Resistance and Excess Weight
• Anxiety
• Reduced Satiety from Meals
• Hormone Imbalances
• Changes in Cholesterol Metabolism
• Increased Risk of Autoimmunity
• Increased RIsk of Cancer

Harnessing your Insulin and Blood Sugar, in my humble opinion, is one of the MOST IMPORTANT things you can do to achieve long term wellness!
