🧠 INSULIN RESISTANCE: DECODED
If you’re working out, eating “clean,” and still feeling stuck…there may be a metabolic barrier most people never get tested for.
🔬 Why It Matters
• Affects nearly 1 in 3 American adults
• Can exist for years (or decades) with no symptoms
• Drives stubborn belly weight, fatigue, brain fog & cravings
• Increases risk for type 2 diabetes & heart disease
⚙️ The Science (Simplified)
• Insulin is the key that lets glucose into your cells for energy.
• With insulin resistance, the lock is damaged, so your body releases more insulin just to function.
➡️ Result: fat storage, inflammation, hunger & low energy
❌ Common Myths
• “You have to be overweight to have insulin resistance”
• “Normal fasting glucose means everything is fine”
✨ Translation: Your labs can look “normal” while your metabolism struggles behind the scenes.
