Insulin resistance isn't on your doctor's radar until you're already diabetic...

But it fuels heart disease faster than cholesterol ever could.

Half of heart attack victims have "normal" cholesterol.

Most have insulin resistance.

Here's how it works (& 8 steps to fix it):🧵 When you have insulin resistance, your body doesn't store blood sugar correctly so you have chronically high blood sugar levels.

This damages artery walls, raises triglycerides and shrinks LDL into small dense particles.

This significantly raises your risk of heart disease. Image

Bone Broth is the best drink on the planet for your gut health.

Big Pharma shill $60 probiotic pills and artificial meds that barely work...

2026 is here.

If you want to lose 20+ lbs, fix any chronic diseases, and get off meds without:

- Endless cardio
- Starving yourself
- Just "Eating less and moving more"

Start fixing your metabolic health with these 7 simple ways: 🧵 1. Improve insulin sensitivity.

When cells resist insulin, your body produces MORE insulin to force glucose inside.

High insulin BLOCKS fat burning and forces your body to store everything as fat instead.

Fix this first or fat loss is impossible no matter your calories.

Heart disease is America’s #1 killer.

How? Because steak doesn’t cause heart disease...

Here are the top 8 causes (and how to fix all of them to protect your heart) 🧵 1. Lower your blood pressure naturally.

It damages artery walls and forces your heart to work harder.

This creates scarring and plaque buildup.

Aim for under 120/80 through lowering stress, exercising and reversing insulin resistance.

Everyone says that it’s harder to lose fat after 40...

But have you ever asked why?

It’s not aging…

Americans’ calorie intake hasn’t increased since 1999, but obesity has increased 30%.

Why?

We´re not exercising less.

It´s because Big Food is poisoning our metabolism.

After some digging, I found out exactly what they´re doing (and how to protect yourself): 🧵 You lose fat when you consume fewer calories than you burn.

Your metabolism is the main thing that determines how many calories you burn.

If it's unhealthy, it will be extremely hard to lose weight.

You'll have to starve yourself...

Here are Andrew Huberman´s top 8 hormone hacks for fat loss (backed by science): 🧵
