Carrying excess body fat in the scapula region, also known as the upper back or shoulder blade area, is an indication of Insulin Resistance. Insulin is a hormone that regulates blood sugar levels, and when the body becomes resistant to Insulin, it can lead to excess body fat in the back, obesity and other health problems.
One way to improve Insulin Resistance and reduce body fat in the upper back region is to make diet and lifestyle changes that promote healthy weight loss and support Insulin.
Our 4 Week Slimmer Waist Program is designed to help you lower Insulin levels.
