What is Insulin Resistance?

Insulin Resistance is one of the top health issues in North America today.

Insulin Resistance occurs when the cells in our body become less responsive to the hormone Insulin, which is produced by the pancreas and helps regulate blood sugar levels. As a result, the body needs to produce more Insulin to keep blood sugar levels within a normal range.

Elevated Insulin levels will often show up as excess body fat on your upper and lower back.

Insulin Resistance can lead to a number of health challenges, both physical and mental, such as:

1. Type 2 diabetes – Insulin Resistance is a key risk factor for developing type 2 diabetes, a chronic condition where the body is unable to regulate blood sugar levels properly.
2. Weight Gain and Obesity – Insulin Resistance can contribute to weight gain and obesity, as the body struggles to regulate energy and fat storage effectively
3. Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) – Insulin Resistance is often present in women with PCOS, a hormonal disorder that can cause irregular periods, infertility, and other health issues.
4. Memory Challenges – Insulin Resistance may contribute to cognitive decline and an increased risk of conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease.
5. Inflammation – Insulin Resistance can lead to chronic inflammation, which is associated with a range of health problems including autoimmune diseases, digestive issues, constipation, and elevated Cortisol levels. Just to name a few.
6. Mental Health Issues: Insulin Resistance has been linked to a range of mental health issues, including depression and anxiety.
7. Increased Sugar Cravings
8. Sleep Challenges & Severe Fatigue

It’s important to note that Insulin Resistance is often linked to lifestyle factors such as diet and exercise habits, and addressing these factors can be an effective way to reduce the risk of associated health challenges.
