In this video, I’m going to talk about insulin resistance. If you’ve had a hard time understanding insulin resistance, I’m going to break it down in this video.

Your pancreas, which is located in the left lower quadrant by your ribcage, is responsible for creating a hormone called insulin. Insulin is triggered by anything that contains sugar or turns into sugar.

Insulin circulates the body and removes sugar from the blood. Your blood sugar should stay right around 100 (mg/deciliter). When it gets higher than this, you can develop a blood sugar problem or type 2 diabetes.

Eating a lot of sugar causes too much insulin to release, which drives your blood sugar way down. Over time, your cell receptors put the breaks on insulin. This is known as insulin resistance because your cells are resisting insulin.

In turn, this causes your insulin to go even higher to try to compensate for the blocked receptors. Eventually, the pancreas begins to wear out.

Diabetes can cause a lot of problems in the body. First, you are going to be hungry often. Why? Because insulin has another function—it helps your cells absorb nutrients. So when your cells block insulin, they don’t get the nutrients they need to function correctly. This causes constant hunger and cravings for things like carbs.

Insulin resistance also causes:
• Fat storage
• Inability to lose weight
• Nutrient deficiencies
• Low energy
• Digestive issues
• Bloating
• High cholesterol

After developing insulin resistance, here’s what you can do about it:
• Start a ketogenic diet
• Avoid ALL sugar and carbs (not just some)
• Increase your potassium
• Consume 7-10 cups of vegetables a day
• Increase vitamin B1 using nutritional yeast
• Have protein with breakfast
