<p><strong>Episode 21:2 - Insulin Resistance: What You Need To Know... And Why</strong></p> <p> </p> <p>If you enrolled in a Nutrition class, what would you expect to learn?</p> <p> </p> <p>Facts about vitamins, minerals, protein, fat and carbohydrates?</p> <p> </p> <p>Absolutely.</p> <p> </p> <p>How to heal with herbs?</p> <p> </p> <p>No doubt.</p> <p> </p> <p>What you may not expect to learn is “How the Fuel System of the body works.”</p> <p> </p> <p>And, that’s a shame because how the body fuels itself is of vital importance.</p> <p> </p> <p>Something you NEED to know.</p> <p> </p> <p>Yet it’s seldom taught… even though it’s not difficult to understand.</p> <p> </p> <p>You see, your body’s Fuel System provides fuel, or “energy”, to every cell, muscle and organ of the body so they can perform the functions for which they were designed.</p> <p> </p> <p>HOW the Fuel System does this is as follows:</p> <p> </p> <p>1) The food you eat provides your body with fuel.</p> <p> </p> <p>2) The cells, muscles and organs take, and use, the fuel they need.</p> <p> </p> <p>3) Any “excess” fuel is either stored in the liver or turned into fat.</p> <p> </p> <p>This process works great… until something goes wrong.</p> <p> </p> <p>And, believe it or not, something goes wrong for millions of us.</p> <p> </p> <p>Not with the Fuel System itself, but with how much we ask of it.</p> <p> </p> <p>We “flood it” with too much fuel… especially from starches and sugars.</p> <p> </p> <p>As a result, we develop "Insulin Resistance"... which can lead to the development of some bad things.</p> <p> </p> <p>Things like obesity, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s… and increased chance of dying from the Coronavirus.</p> <p> </p> <p>(Yes, an overworked Fuel System can increase your chances of dying from the Coronavirus!)</p> <p> </p> <p>But that’s not all.</p> <p> </p> <p>In our opinion, many other health problems are either caused or significantly affected by an overworked Fuel System… especially those problems that aren’t responding to a
