Understanding Insulin Resistance

Not all insulin resistance looks the same, Personalization matters! Some people are:

• muscle insulin resistant

• liver insulin resistant

• adipose insulin resistant

Testing (fasting insulin, postprandial responses, lipids, inflammatory markers, CGM data) helps identify which system is driving the resistance—and what to address first. But let’s be specific, a blood test alone will give you indications of insulin resistance, but to drive into what is causing it and how to intervene you need further systemic testing. Looking at the list above: Key factors are Exercise, Mitochondrial function, Gut Health, Stress, Detox Status, Understanding food intolerances and HOW IS INSULIN RESISTANCE MANIFESTING IN YOUR BODY. Here is a list of the tests that can really uncover an action plan:

1) Exercise (Advanced Blood Testing, Metabolic Testing and Genetic Testing). Each reveal a different but important theme.

2) Mitochondrial function (Blood Testing, Metabolic Testing, Glycan Age Testing and Mitochondrial Efficiency Testing)

3) Gut Health (Gut Microbiome Test, Blood Testing, Metabolic Testing)

4) Detox Status (Metabolic Testing, Mitochondrial Efficiency Testing)

5) Stress (Blood Testing, Metabolic Testing, Mitochondrial Testing, GlycanAge Testing)

The human body is complex, but the answers are accessible.
