Insulin Resistance At The Heart Of Chronic Disease
In this post I explain how insulin resistance causes or exacerbates many diseases and point to how it can be reversed. Insulin’s job is to get the groceries you consume into your cells. It has problems when the cells have received too much glucose and no longer want anymore. They resist insulin’s attempts to get in, leaving too much insulin in the blood. The overabundance of this hormone travels throughout the body causing and exacerbating many problems that it otherwise wouldn’t if in the proper balance and able to do its job. Thus insulin resistance is the little know root of many chronic illnesses, especially those related to metabolic syndrome.
