Story at-a-glance Inflammation in your colon triggers insulin resistance by sending nerve signals from your liver to your pancreas, even before your blood sugar rises A study showed that leaky gut activates a liver stress response, which tells your pancreas to expand insulin-producing cells in preparation for metabolic stress This entire response happened without weight gain or excess sugar intake, proving gut inflammation alone drives insulin imbalance You can track this hidden process using a test called HOMA-IR, which reveals how hard your body is working to control blood sugar — often before glucose levels become abnormal Healing your gut with the right kinds of fiber and eliminating inflammatory foods helps restore beneficial butyrate levels, repair your gut lining and lower your risk for insulin resistance

Cut carbs, avoid bread, ditch fruit. But groundbreaking research reveals this approach might be keeping you stuck in a cycle of restriction without addressing the real problem.Insulin resistance isn't a carbohydrate problem. It's a muscle problem. Today we expose the real culprit behind insulin resistance and why upgrading your ability to use and dispose of glucose efficiently can stop prediabetes and insulin resistance WITHOUT cutting out carbs.Main Takeaways:Prediabetes isn't a carb problem; it's a muscle problemEvery 10% increase in muscle mass = 11% reduction in insulin resistance and 12% reduction in prediabetes riskJust 1 strength training session can increase glucose uptake by 40% and improve insulin sensitivity for up to 48 hoursStrategic carb inclusion around workouts reverses insulin resistanceMuscle tissue releases myokines during contractions that improve metabolic functionEpisodes Mentioned:Blood Sugar Spikes, Carb Myths, GLP-1s, and Fat Loss Tips from a Type 1 Diabetic (Ben Tzeel) or YouTubeStrength vs. Hypertrophy (The 65% Threshold for Lifters Chasing PRs vs. Muscle Size)The 2-Minute Walking Hack That Builds 47% More MuscleThe REAL Triggers of Chronic InflammationTimestamps:0:02 - The carb restriction myth for prediabetes 2:53 - What prediabetes really is (and standard medical advice) 4:13 - The muscle mass connection: 13,000-person study results 5:17 - How insulin resistance works at the cellular level 7:16 - GLUT4 transporters and glucose "doorways" 8:44 - How to engineer your glucose disposal machinery (training, walking, carbs, sleep, and stress) 17:18 - Myokines - how muscle acts as an endocrine organ 19:29 - Why this is a muscle disease, not a carb diseaseSupport the show

This episode originally aired as #395 on 1/13/24. It's an oldie but goodie so we are sharing it again! What is Aged Garlic Extract (A.G.E.) and how is it different from the garlic we eat? Can this one thing actually lower cholesterol, improve insulin resistance, keep bones strong, boost immunity and detoxification, and prevent dementia? We tend to compartmentalize our bodily systems, but they are all connected and the cardiovascular system is at the head of them all. Learn the science behind how A.G.E. can impact all of our systems, how to take it, how much to take, and what the research actually shows, on this episode of Vitality Radio, where Jared interviews Jim LaValle all about Kyolic Aged Garlic Extract. You'll learn its many benefits and how to use it to improve your overall health.

Episode 25:27 How To Prevent, And Reverse, Insulin Resistance If you listened to the last two episodes of the Get Healthy Alabama podcast you learned three “health facts”: 1) High cholesterol does not cause heart disease. Insulin resistance does. 2) Insulin resistance also causes many other disease: Type 2 Diabetes, Alzheimer's, Cancer, PCOS, erectile dysfunction, fatty liver disease, and arthritis. 3) You can tell if you have Insulin Resistance through three blood tests: - Fasting blood glucose. - A1 C - Fasting insulin An elevated level of any of these is a sign of Insulin Resistance. On this week's episode I teach you how to reverse and correct Insulin Resistance. Specifically, I share four “tools” you can use to help lower your blood sugar and Insulin levels. Four “tools“ that will help you restore your health in a natural way… without the use of drugs. Please give this episode a good listen as Insulin Resistance affects the overwhelming majority of adults in this country. And, as always, please share this episode with a friend.

This episode reveals how fasting is the most powerful tool for preventing cardiovascular disease and reversing metabolic dysfunction that affects 88% of Americans. Dr. Scott and Tommy explain why fasting goes far beyond weight loss to address the root cause of heart disease: insulin resistance and dangerous blood sugar variability. Discover how consistent fasting protocols can dramatically reduce your risk when every 1% increase in A1C levels raises heart problems by 12%, major cardiovascular events by 8%, and heart-related kidney issues by 17%. Learn why diabetics with the highest blood sugar swings face 2.5 times higher heart disease risk - and how fasting flattens these dangerous glucose spikes. The hosts break down how fasting reverses metabolic syndrome (affecting 25% of the population) and helps the 70-80 million undiagnosed pre-diabetics who have normal A1C but dangerously high fasting insulin levels. Understand how fasting prevents the "rust on a bumper" effect of cardiovascular disease that develops slowly over decades. Get specific fasting strategies for reducing glycemic variability, controlling insulin spikes, and using intermittent fasting as cardiovascular protection. This episode reveals why monitoring fasting insulin during your fasting journey is more important than cholesterol panels, and how consistent fasting protocols reverse the inflammatory cascade leading to heart disease, stroke, and metabolic syndrome. Essential for anyone using fasting to prevent cardiovascular disease and optimize metabolic health for life.

Episode 25:26 The Signs, Symptoms And Blood Tests That Define Insulin Resistance Believe it or not, there's a really good chance that the cells of your body are Insulin Resistant. That's not good because Insulin Resistance is THE cause of many major chronic conditions. Conditions such as heart disease, fatty liver disease, high blood pressure, stroke, diabetes, cancer, obesity, Alzheimer's, PCOS, erectile dysfunction and infertility. Unfortunately, most doctors know very little about Insulin Resistance. How to identify it or how to treat it. That's not good. The truth is, EVERYONE should know about Insulin Resistance. - What it is. - How to know if you have it. - Steps you can take to reverse it. On this episode I address what Insulin Resistance is and the blood tests you need to have done to see if you have it. It's information that I feel is extremely valuable and should be taught to everyone. So please be sure to give it a good listen and then share it with a friend. Thanks! ———————- Want to learn more?

In this groundbreaking conversation, "The Conscious Gynecologist" Dr. Andrea Salcedo joins Dr. Philip Ovadia to uncover the profound connection between women's reproductive health and metabolic health. Dr. Salcedo shares startling research showing how insulin resistance impacts everything from PCOS and gestational diabetes to uterine fibroids and gynecologic cancers.You'll learn why the same inflammatory processes that cause heart disease also create uterine fibroids, how pregnancy naturally induces a state of insulin resistance to protect the developing fetus, and why morning sickness serves an important biological function. Dr. Salcedo explains how traditional gynecological approaches often miss the metabolic root causes of women's health issues, leading to band-aid solutions rather than addressing the underlying insulin resistance.With her unique background as both an academic researcher and metabolic health advocate, Dr. Salcedo provides practical insights into how lifestyle changes can dramatically improve gynecological health without relying solely on medications or surgery. The conversation shatters common misconceptions about female health problems and offers a new framework for understanding women's bodies beyond the "just hormones" explanation.Whether you're struggling with reproductive health issues, planning for pregnancy, or simply want to understand the intricacies of female health, this conversation offers vital information that most medical professionals aren't discussing.

In today's world, many people struggle with weight gain, a slow metabolism, brain fog, and difficulty building muscle, despite healthy diets and exercise. Health expert Sarah Banta says the cause is often in thyroid and liver health. Her insights, shared on a podcast with Wade Lightheart, highlight how these organs regulate metabolism, fat burning, and muscle building. When these organs are not working well due to toxins, stress, or poor nutrition, the body may have trouble losing fat and gaining muscle. Thyroid: Metabolic Master Switch The thyroid controls how the body makes energy. It affects our metabolism, body temperature, fat burning, mental clarity, mood, and hormone balance. Sarah notes that many people might have thyroid issues, even if tests look normal. Symptoms of a struggling thyroid include slow metabolism, fat gain, cold hands and feet, brain fog, fatigue, and muscle loss. Thyroid issues can prevent effective fat burning, no matter the diet or exercise. Liver: Metabolic Role The thyroid and liver work together. The liver converts inactive thyroid hormone (T4) to the active form (T3). If the liver is slow or congested, this conversion suffers, slowing down the thyroid. Modern lifestyles burden the liver with toxins, processed foods, and stress. This can lead to fat gain, slow metabolism, and hormonal imbalances. Liver stress can reduce thyroid and overall metabolic function. Iodine's Essential Role Iodine is important for thyroid function and every cell in the body. Many people are iodine deficient due to depleted soils, microplastics in salt, and competition from other chemicals. Iodine helps produce thyroid hormones, supports brain function, cellular energy, immune defense, and hormonal balance. It also helps detoxify heavy metals. Optimal iodine dosing is needed to overcome deficiency and remove toxins. Liver Detox for Results An overloaded liver can block fat burning, impair thyroid conversion, cause insulin resistance, and interfere with protein absorption. Sarah's approach uses herbs to stimulate bile flow, support detox, break down fatty liver, and optimize metabolism. Key ingredients include Milk Thistle and other herbs that help with liver health. A healthy liver allows the body to burn fat and build muscle safely. In this podcast you'll learn... Why iodine deficiency is a true health crisis. What are the causes of unexplained weight gain are. What the hidden causes of Insulin Resistance are. If you can burn fat and build muscle at the same time. How the spike protein affected our health. How thyroid health affects mental health.

Paige Alexander and Jamie Morgan Reno use their Real Food Recovery podcast and social media channels to share their struggles, lessons learned, tools, tips, and resources that freed them from decades of food addiction, obsession, and loss. Join us as we discuss a huge topic—insulin resistance. What is insulin resistance? How does it happen? What does it do to our bodies? And most importantly, what can we do about it? We'll also get into the details of how insulin wreaks havoc in our bodies and how to reverse this damage, too. In every Real Food Recovery episode, Paige and Jamie take time to answer viewer questions about processed food addiction, obsession, and recovery, be sure to submit yours on their YouTube Channel or Facebook Page.

Episode 25:25 The REAL Cause Of Heart Disease Guess what? The REAL cause of heart disease is NOT high levels of cholesterol. Nor is it a diet high in saturated fat. A diet that includes foods such as meat, eggs, butter and cheese. The REAL cause is this: Insulin Resistance! Yes, Insulin Resistance is the number one cause of heart disease. It's also the best predictor of it. In fact, Insulin Resistance is a much better predictor of heart disease than cholesterol. On this episode I explain why. I also answer the following questions: 1) What is Insulin Resistance? 2) What causes Insulin Resistance? 3) How to know if you have Insulin Resistance? 4) How to prevent/reverse Insulin Resistance? The information on this episode is extremely valuable and should, in my opinion, be taught to everyone. Be sure to give it a good listen and then share it with a friend.
