You eat banana for breakfast
and think it’s healthy?
Think again ‼️
Just because it’s “natural” doesn’t mean it’s neutral.
Insulin doesn’t care if it’s a banana or a Snickers bar 🤷♀️
If it spikes your blood sugar, your body treats it the same.
Insulin is like a key, to move sugar from your blood into cells for energy.
But constant sugar spikes force your body to release insulin over and over.
Eventually, your cells stop listening.
Your body panics and makes even more insulin.
This is insulin resistance.
And 80% of people who have it don’t even know.
When Insulin Resistance Takes Over:
→ High Blood Pressure: Insulin stiffens blood vessels.
→ Heart Disease: Promotes plaque build-up.
→ Weight Gain: Especially belly fat.
→ Type 2 Diabetes: Blood sugar stays high.
→ Alzheimer’s: Also called “Type 3 diabetes.”
→ PCOS: Wrecks hormone balance.
→ Fatty Liver: Insulin tells your liver to store fat.
→ Low Testosterone: Turns testosterone into estrogen.
It builds up slowly. Tiny sugar spikes, every day. Until your body can’t keep up.
The Fix:
→ Balance your meals , add more protein, fiber, and healthy fats.
→ Practice fasting, give your insulin a break.
→ Strength train, help your body use insulin the right way.
Do this consistently and your body can switch from sugar-burning to fat-burning.
A cleaner, steadier fuel.
🤦🏽♀️P.S. What’s one food that totally fooled you into thinking it was healthy?
