Diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and cancer don't just happen overnight.

They are chronic diseases that most often are the result of longterm inflammation.

This inflammation slowly increases over time as a result of worsening insulin resistance.

So what is it insulin resistance?

When you eat, sugar enters the bloodstream.

The pancreas pumps out insulin to help bring that sugar into your cells.

Year after year your Dr. may tell you your fasting glucose is great.

But all the while the body is requiring more and more insulin to do the job.

What you eat impacts how high your blood sugar rises and how much insulin is needed.

Eventually the pancreas can't keep up.

The modern diet consists of:
• High sugar
• Processed foods
• Alcohol

These cause your blood sugar to ride a rollercoaster of extreme highs and lows throughout the day.

Your cells become resistant to insulin and like a drug addict your body needs more and more to function.

Insulin resistance happens slowly over time.

Some early indicators of it:

• Dad bod (abdominal fat)
• Sweet cravings
• Low energy
• Irritability
• Headaches

Why is this harmful?

Insulin resistance and high blood sugar are inflammatory throughout the body.

At first it can present as:
-GI distress
•Joint Pain
•Brain Fog
•Fatigue

Over time it places you at high risk of:
•High blood pressure
•Heart disease
•Alzhemiers
•Diabetes

Body positivity campaigns only worsen this epidemic because it normalizes obesity which is the leading indicator of insulin resistance.

Some in the medical community are now even pushing an agenda that says insulin resistance cannot be reversed but that's far from accurate.

Taking control of your health starts with understanding insulin resistance and building a lifestyle to reverse it.

It can quickly lead to low quality of life and dependency on a broken healthcare system.

We've created a 5 part series to help you:

• Measure your insulin resistance
• Better understand the condition
• Take practical steps to reduce your insulin resistance and risk of chronic disease
