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.

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

This significantly raises your risk of heart disease. Image
