Did you know insulin resistance can exist years before diabetes ever shows up on bloodwork? 🧬

Insulin resistance means your cells — mainly in your muscles, liver, and fat tissue — stop responding properly to insulin. When that happens, your body produces more insulin to keep blood sugar stable, but over time this process breaks down, leading to high insulin levels, difficulty losing weight (especially around the abdomen), and eventually type 2 diabetes.

The causes are multifactorial:
• Excess belly fat and chronic inflammation
• Physical inactivity and poor diet (especially Western-style diets)
• Aging, oxidative stress, and even certain medications
• And yes — it can happen even if you’re not overweight

🌎 It’s estimated that about 30–40% of adults without diabetes already have some degree of insulin resistance — nearly half of them are not obese.

The good news? Insulin resistance can be reversed.
Through nutrition, muscle-building exercise, quality sleep, and stress management, you can restore your body’s sensitivity to insulin and prevent long-term metabolic disease.

🩺 At ETERNA, we focus on identifying and addressing insulin resistance before it turns into diabetes or fatty liver — helping you take back control of your metabolism.

It can be scary to think about losing words, mixing up names, or forgetting memories.
And often, we feel like it’s completely out of our control.

So when my patient came into my office stressed, worried he might be heading down that road, we ran the tests. They came back normal — but that doesn’t mean the work is over.
Because even when memory tests are “normal,” there’s so much we can do to protect our brain health. 🧠✨

Here’s where you can start ⬇️

🍇 Add more leafy greens, berries, nuts, legumes, fish, and olive oil.

🥓 Remove or limit processed foods, fried foods, pastries, sweets, red and processed meats, and full-fat cheese.

🏋️ Keep your body active — aerobic activity is important, but lifting weights is especially powerful for prevention.

🧩 Keep your mind active — read, learn, play games, or do puzzles.

🛌 Prioritize sleep — deep, restorative sleep is key for memory and brain repair. Also, make sure to rule out sleeping disorders, such as sleep apnea!

🧠 Care for your mental health — stress, anxiety, and depression can all worsen cognitive decline. Seeking support is prevention too.

📺 Avoid long hours sitting passively in front of the TV. Engage instead in activities that challenge and stimulate your brain.

👉 Dementia prevention is not about one big thing — it’s about building habits that protect both your heart and your brain for years to come.

✨ Save this post to remind yourself of what’s in your control, and share it with someone who wants to keep their brain sharp.

It feels like everywhere I turn lately, someone is talking about cortisol.

Patients asking me to test it. Friends hearing about it from influencers. Products being marketed to “balance” it.

It’s become a bit of a buzzword, like the new health trend.

So when my friend texted me “What actually IS cortisol?” after seeing it all over social media, I thought: let’s clear this up. 👇

🧠 Cortisol is your body’s main stress hormone. It follows a natural rhythm — high in the morning to wake you up, low at night to help you sleep, and it spikes when you’re stressed. We need it to survive.

⚖️ Problems happen when chronic stress and poor sleep flatten or shift this rhythm. That’s when people can feel bloated, tired, inflamed, or notice weight changes.

🧪 But here’s the key: a random blood cortisol test is not the way to measure that. In medicine, we only test cortisol when we suspect rare conditions like Cushing’s or Addison’s disease — and those come with very specific signs (easy bruising, purple stretch marks, muscle weakness, facial rounding).

✨ So while “cortisol testing” feels trendy, the real answer lies in lifestyle, sleep, and stress — not in ordering random bloodwork or buying influencer supplements.

If you’re worried about symptoms, the right step is always to talk to your doctor, so we can test the right things and rule out what really matters.

Read carefully until the end 👇

In Canada, even if you spend time outside, it’s nearly impossible to get enough vitamin D from the sun. Between long winters, sunscreen use, and our latitude, deficiency is very common.

That’s why we recommend vitamin D supplements to most (if not all) of my patients. The right dose depends on your health, age, and lifestyle, so always check with your doctor before starting.

👉 Bottom line: protect your skin, don’t rely on the sun alone, and talk to your healthcare provider about safe supplementation.

Weight loss isn’t just about appearance ➡️ it’s about protecting your heart and your future health. 🫀

🧠 We had to hop on this trend 👀

Because there’s a lot of health “propaganda” out there — and these are some of the most common misconceptions we hear from patients every week.

From mouth taping to juice cleanses to “just eat less”… 🙅‍♀️ we’re not falling for it.
Evidence > Hype. Always.

Yes, calories matter for weight loss—but where those calories come from matters just as much! ⚖️

100 calories of chips won’t fuel your body the same way as 100 calories of protein or fiber-rich foods. Focus on nutrient quality, not just calorie quantity to stay full, energized, and on track with your goals! 🔥💪
