#61 - The real cause of insulin resistance and diabetes with Georgi Dinkov

Many of you who follow me will already know Georgi but for those who don't he is an IT professional by day and researcher by night focusing on biochemistry and physiology. He is also the founder of http://www.idealabsdc.com/ and has an amazing range of pro-metabolic supplements.If you've followed me for a while you'll know I've cycled through nearly every diet out there. For 17 years of my life I tried to cut all sugar from my diet including fruit and juice. I get so many comments on my posts saying “sugar causes diabetes” and “sugar causes insulin resistance.” So I thought I'd sit down with Georgi and address some of these misconceptions.In this episode, we discuss:➡️What is insulin resistance➡️What actually causes insulin resistance and diabetes (hint it's not sugar) ➡️The role chronic stress has in diabetes and insulin resistance➡️What happens when you go low calorie and/or low carb➡️What dietary changes can a diabetic or someone who suffers from insulin resistance make to improve their condition ➡️Glycine’s relationship with insulin➡️The supplements Georgi recommends to help improve insulin resistance ➡️And more!Don't forget about our podcast competition, once you’ve finished listening to this episode (or any of The Winatlife podcast episodes) take a screen shot and share it on Instagram stories, tag me at @kittyblomfield and share what you loved most about the episode.
