Heart disease is the #1 killer.

But it’s insulin resistance that causes it, cancer, diabetes, and Alzheimer's.

Since your doctor won’t help you reverse it, here are 7 simple steps that can:

Do you deal with hunger pangs even if you just ate?

Are you battling an expanding waistline no matter what you try?

Do you experience brain fog so bad it feels like you can’t even think?

Are you fighting constant fatigue daily, even if you slept well the night before?

It’s because modern life is a breeding ground for insulin resistance.

• Desk jobs
• high-stress work
• and sleep deprivation

Team up with diets heavy in:

• processed foods
• unhealthy fats
• sugars

To create the ultimate recipe for IR and chronic disease.

So what is this “Insulin Resistance?”

Insulin is a hormone that works like a key, putting sugar into your cells.

With insulin resistance, the key doesn’t fit right.

The sugar can't get into your cells, so it builds up in the blood.

It's like a door that's jammed.

This leads to chronic inflammation, which causes:

• fatigue
• fat gain
• brain fog
• joint pain

Then eventually, the 4 Horsemen of Chronic Disease:

1. Heart Disease
2. Alzheimers
3. Diabetes
4. Cancer

But don’t stress…

Despite what “experts” say, this condition is completely reversible.

How do I know?

This year alone, we’ve helped 4 clients:

• reverse IR
• lose 20-30lbs
• get off diabetes meds

Here’s the exact process we use with our clients:

1) Time Restricted Eating

TRE is the biggest lever to improve insulin sensitivity.

• Start with a 12-hour fasting window
• Gradually increase to 14-16 hours
• Eat biggest meals in daytime

This teaches your body how to use fat as a fuel source again.

2) Eat more fiber

• Men: Get 35g daily.
• Women: Get 25g daily.

What should you eat?

Whole foods and nutrient-dense plants like...

Great fiber sources:

1. Oats
2. Pears
3. Apples
4. Carrots
5. Broccoli
6. Avocado
7. Raspberries
8. Strawberries
9. Dragon fruit
10. All vegetables

3) Walk After Meals

This lowers post-meal blood sugar spikes.

Find ways to make this as attractive as possible:

• listen to podcasts or music
• watch Netflix if you have to
• start slow (5min is better than nothing)

Then:

4) Manage Carb Intake

Fewer carbs = less blood sugar

Less blood sugar = lower insulin

Low-carb interventions alone pull people off of 100s of units of insulin in days to weeks (not good for Pharma).

Limit carbs below 100g/day.

5) 3 meals x 50g of Protein

• Get 50g of protein at each meal (30g if female)
• Best protein sources: lean meats, fish, eggs, whey
• 3 meals a day, no snacks (minimizes blood sugar variability)

More protein = more muscle

And muscle is a sponge for blood sugar

6) Lift Weights

You don't need to dedicate your life to the gym to reverse IR, get lean, or improve your health.

You just need to do enough to trigger muscle building.

2-3x a week is enough if you:

• pick proper exercises
• use a full-body split
• train to failure

7) Prioritize Sleep & Sunshine

Sleep lowers cortisol & helps sugar metabolism.

Sunshine provides vitamin D & enhances insulin sensitivity.

The combination fights IR.

Make sure to get:

• 7.5+ hours of sleep
• 5-10 min of morning sun
• 30 min of total sun time daily

7 tips for better sleep:

• Daily movement
• No caffeine after noon
• Practice 4-7-8 breathing
• Avoid naps after 2:30 pm
• Block blue light before bed
• Wake and sleep at same time daily
• Create a sleep cave: silent, dark, cold

7 simple steps to reverse insulin resistance:

1. Eat more fiber
2. Intermittent fast
3. Walk after meals
4. 3 meals x 50g of protein
5. Lift weights 2-3x a week
6. Prioritize sleep & sunshine
7. Less than 100g of carbs a day

Men today are suffering from issues that no one talks about:

• Low self esteem
• Masturbation
• Obesity
• porn
• Heart disease

Men, pick yourself up.
