659. Insulin Resistance and Metabolic Disorders

You may have never heard this said before, but diabetes is a food allergy. That’s right. Diabetics have an allergy to carbohydrates, says Dr. Martin. In today’s episode, Dr. Martin again shares a recent study on insulin resistance. The 6-year study tested 200 participants for insulin resistance. The ones that had the highest insulin resistance were getting all the diseases. The ones with the lowest insulin resistance were getting none of them. Dr. Martin again shares this study to show how insulin resistance plays a huge role in our health. When you become resistant to insulin, the door is opened to diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and even Alzheimer’s. If you can only do one thing to improve your health, Dr. Martin urges you to cut the carbs. Doing that alone will greatly reduce your chances of developing a metabolic disorder.
