There's a number of ways in which your gut microbes that produce short-chain fatty acids can influence insulin resistance. Another way is by, like I said at the start, rebalancing the different microbes. The more we find out about these different types of bacteria and microbes, we're going to realize that they all have their roles. And it's not a case of rooting ourselves of one complete type of species. It's more a case of ensuring that we have an environment that allows the right ones to thrive more so to create balance in our metabolic health, our mental health, and all the other impacts that our gut health has on has on our body.
In today’s solo episode and I’ll be talking about insulin resistance, how this impacts your risk of disease and why insulin resistance could drive many chronic conditions and why certain lifestyle measures work for improving metabolic health.
By the end of the episode you will understand:
The relationship between IR and disease
The importance of sugar balance in the body
What insulin is and how insulin works
What happens when we become resistant to insulin
What are the causes of IR
What we can do to become more insulin sensitive and ultimately prevent disease
