I always like to emphasize with my clients that are dealing with many health challenges and need to make significant changes, that it doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Making even just 1 or 2 small changes can create big results. Take it one small step at a time. With each small step you will move closer to your goal.

Excellent advice for anyone with insulin resistance, diabetes, pre-diabetes or any type of blood sugar challenges. Contact me if you need help in getting your blood sugar under control.

Let’s get to the root of insulin resistance, and not just mask it with blood sugar medication.

If you are looking to reverse insulin resistance, here are 5 things to start with:

1. Dramatically reduce your consumption of refined carbohydrates and ultra-processed foods in favor of healthy fats to get into a ketotic state.

2. Exercise, exercise, exercise. Start with daily walks and lifting weights.

3. Consider supplementing with berberine, quercetin, and omega-3s with DHAs like fish oil.

4. Look at your fasting insulin level, not just your fasting glucose level when going to the doctor.

5. Consider using a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) to gain knowledge and control over your personal insulin functionality.

Dr. Perlmutter is one of the doctors I have the greatest level of respect for. If you want to learn how to live a life of health rather than of one that may create disease, he is an excellent source.

Between 1990 and 2015, the number of people diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease doubled. And that number may well double again by the year 2040.

I don’t share this information to scare you, but instead to empower you to take control of your health destiny by committing to lifestyle changes — there are many — that can decrease your risk for developing this devastating disease.

Let’s make this the year you commit to your long term health. I’m here to support you in all the ways I can — please use my website, drperlmutter.com, and my podcast, The Empowering Neurologist, as either a starting point or a place to dive deeper into the science behind lifestyle modifications.
