Episode notes

High insulin levels relative to blood sugar indicate insulin resistance, a precursor to metabolic syndrome. Elevated insulin levels not only impact sugar metabolism but also inhibit fatty acid metabolism, leading to high blood triglycerides. Lowering insulin levels positively impacts cardiovascular health. Monitoring blood sugar, insulin, and hemoglobin A1C levels is crucial. Additionally, assessing hormone levels, especially DHEA and SHPG, and key nutrient deficiencies like vitamin D3, magnesium, potassium, and vitamin B12, forms a solid foundation for overall health.
