Insulin Resistance is the root of most metabolic diseases
Insulin is the primary hormonal signal for fat storage and conversion of glucose into energy

Insulin Resistance
Cause: High glucose levels over long periods of time produce high insulin levels. High insulin leads to insulin resistance.
Result: Glucose remains elevated because insulin resistance prevents the body from efficiently absorbing and processing glucose.

Insulin
The anabolic hormone regulates the metabolism of fat, carbohydrates, and proteins.
The anabolic hormone regulates the metabolism of fat, carbohydrates, and proteins.
Insulin signals the body to convert glucose to energy OR store it as fat.
Insulin Resistance leads to Obesity
Too Much Glucose → Too Much Insulin → Insulin Resistance → Excess Fat Storage
Obesity is a HORMONAL imbalance
Too Much Glucose → Too Much Insulin → Insulin Resistance → Excess Fat Storage
Obesity is a HORMONAL imbalance
Diabetes and Insulin Resistance
Diabetes is the point at which insulin resistance is so high the body stops responding to insulin.
Maintain low insulin levels via three methods:
Low glycemic-index foods
Intermittent and Extended Fasting
Exercise (strength training and HIIT)

Fasting and Insulin Resistance
Fasting for periods over 12 hours on a regular basis dramatically reduces glucose levels and insulin resistance.

Exercise and Insulin Resistance
The body increases glucose uptake in muscles and glycogen restoration in the liver instead of converting glucose to fat as storage.

Heart Disease and Insulin Resistance
Heart disease (CVD) is inflammation in the arteries.
Inflammation in blood vessels also leads to the “stiffening” of arteries impacting the flow of blood and oxygen to the brain, heart, and lungs.
