The Jesse Chappus Show
How to Correct Insulin Resistance
Many people have never had an insulin checked, so they know that their sugars are high. They may tell me, I've tried every diet in the book. Nothing works. So now we have to say, okay, let's look under the hood. And many, many times patients will just go on low carb diets, which are also low fat and then they may never break into that fat burning. We really have to play into getting our body being happy, healthy and feel like there's no care in the world tomorrow.

Dr. Christy Kesslering is a Radiation Oncologist turned Metabolic Health practitioner.
She worked with cancer patients in Radiation Oncology for over 20 years in the Chicagoland area but realized many years ago that something was missing from conventional medicine.
Dr. K saw the big link between obesity and cancer but then realized that the real link was mitochondrial health and metabolic function, and she pursued additional self-learning in metabolic health. She did additional studies in the fields of Functional Medicine, Integrative Medicine, and the Terrain-Theory of cancer.
Dr. K opted to leave conventional medicine to work exclusively in Metabolic Health via telehealth. She now helps both cancer patients and non-cancer patients regain their optimal health.
