Listener question: What is insulin resistance?
March 30, 2025
If you're a layperson like me (that is, not a health professional or a nutrition expert), then you may not know what "insulin resistance" is.
I certainly didn't.
It was only when I stopped eating sugar in my mid-40s, and experienced the amazing benefits of being sugar-free, that I started reading up on what insulin does.
And after that, I read about how insulin resistance affects your body and your health.
In fact, insulin resistance is linked to a whole host of health issues, from obesity and diabetes to high blood pressure, dementia, arthritis, inflammation and heart disease.
How do you know if you're insulin resistant? Listen to find out!
