High insulin:
– Triggers arterial plaque (heart disease)
– Fuels tumor growth via IGF-1 (cancer)
– Leads to type 2 diabetes
– Starves neurons of energy (Alzheimer’s)
It’s the earliest and most common failure:
Fix 2: Reverse insulin resistance
Proven interventions:
• 30+ min of walking daily
• Lower refined carb intake
• Increase fiber and protein
• Berberine
• Fasting
• Strength train 3x/week
You can reverse insulin resistance in months.
Problem 3: Mitochondrial dysfunction
Mitochondria make energy and control cell death.
When they break:
– Heart cells lose energy
– Damaged cells escape apoptosis (cancer)
– Neurons degenerate (Alzheimer’s)
It’s the engine failure behind all 4 Horsemen.
Fix 3: Mitochondrial Support
• Intermediate fasting 14–16 hours/day
• Do HIIT 1–2x/week
• Cold exposure (showers or ice baths)
• Zone 2 cardio (improves mitochondrial density)
• CoQ10, alpha-lipoic acid, creatine
Protect every cell and increase energy.
Problem 4: Inflammation
Chronic, low-grade inflammation is the hidden fuel for all 4 horsemen.
When your immune system stays “on” for years, inflammatory chemicals damage cells, DNA, and blood vessels.
