Insulin resistance impacts healthy weight management by preventing your body from burning fat efficiently
When assessing a woman’s hormones, this one is often overlooked (and testing blood sugar is not the same as testing insulin)
It’s estimated one out of every two people are now insulin resistant (so unfortunately this can easily be you)…
I test almost every patient with a simple & cheap blood test to see if they’re insulin resistant and if they are, to what degree
Insulin resistance is something we can improve with food, lifestyle changes and natural supplements once we know you have it
If ignored or untreated, insulin resistance can progress to diabetes, now estimated to impact 10% of Canadians
Women with PCOS are often insulin resistant but have never had this assessed (it’s treatable too)
My patients love it when we re-test after 3 months and see their insulin resistance has decreased (or resolved entirely, our favourite)
Don’t overlook insulin resistance when it comes to your health & weight loss efforts. It’s too important.
