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.
