Why Insulin Resistance Underlies All For...

Reverse insulin resistance permanently
About this episode

Many medical professionals only associate insulin resistance with prediabetes and type 2 diabetes and most people living with diabetes make the same mistake. The truth is that insulin resistance can affect everyone living with diabetes. It turns out there are three different "flavors" of diabetes that we will cover in detail during this episode and insulin resistance is the central node that connects them all.

Specifically, we cover:

  • 0:55 — How Cyrus found out he was living with type 1 diabetes
  • 9:35 — Why diabetes is the best thing that ever happened to him
  • 11:48 — What is insulin resistance and what is the cause
  • 19:25 — The 3 "flavors" of diabetes and the central connecting puzzle piece that connects them all
  • 22:53 — How long does it take to reverse insulin resistance?
  • 31:08 — The number one challenge people face when making a lifestyle change, and how do you help them overcome that?
