Insulin Resistance

Insulin resistance is a root cause of type 2 diabetes, PCOS, cardiovascular disease, and fatty liver. We catch it early with markers standard checkups often miss.

Symptoms

Fatigue after meals, sugar cravings, abdominal weight gain, skin tags, and difficulty losing weight.

Causes and risk

Excess refined carbohydrates, sedentary lifestyle, visceral fat, chronic stress, and sleep deprivation.

How it is evaluated

Fasting insulin, fasting glucose, HOMA-IR, A1c, lipid panel with triglyceride-to-HDL ratio, and inflammatory markers.

Treatment

Lower-glycemic anti-inflammatory diet, resistance training, time-restricted eating, targeted supplements (berberine, chromium, inositol), and sleep management.
