1/ Repeat:
Non-hyperglycaemic Insulin Resistance is an evolutionary *protective* mechanism against scarcity -designed to spare glucose for brain oxidisation
The 'predispositions' that lead2chronic disease in a modern environemnt are protective mechanisms in a wild environment

2/ ...your predispositions are good. The problem is the mismatch btwn the modern (abundant food/abundant comfort) environment and our hunter-gatherer physiology.
Modern science/medicine says your predispositions which lead to disease means the problem is with you -so you need

3/ to have drugs or surgery to correct you.
But the problem isn't your physiology - it's doing it's job, the job it was designed for.
What is your body telling you? It's saying, "I don't like this environment, I can't cope with it"
You need to recreate a wild environment...

4/ ..robust and low-level activity (a single 30min bout of leg exercise increases insulin sensitivity). Fasting, CR, IF and a naturalistic delivery of food agents (type and quantity) - i.e harm is chronic supply of an agent 100's Xs above what nature would supply.
