WW: The 3 Real Causes of Insulin Resistance & Diabetes

When we look at age of death and mortality there are only 4 main core reasons why we die at a younger age (non-accident related)…

  • Cardiovascular Issues
  • High Blood Pressure & Stroke
  • Cancer
  • Type 2 Diabetes complications

And on today’s show, I want to follow up on yesterday’s discussion about high blood sugar and provide you with some more insight as to what we can do to knock one of these reasons off the list (which will then also lessen the degree to which you are susceptible to the other 3).

Join me on today’s #CabralConcept 2630 where I share with you the 3 real reasons for insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes and how to overcome them – Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought!

Show Highlights & Big Takeaways:

1. Food Choices

We live in a world of instant gratification. Between fast food and processed options, we are surrounded by “fake” food choices. These choices play an important role in creating insulin resistance.

2. Excess Weight

Excess belly fat, called visceral fat, can lead to inflammation, estrogen production, and cortisol production, and the more cortisol you produce the more body fat and inflammation you will have.

3. Cortisol

If you are in a constant state of fight or flight you will likely produce more cortisol. The more cortisol you produce means you are going to convert, create, and store sugar – leading to the ongoing vicious cycle of imbalanced blood sugar, high insulin, and fat storage with disrupted hormones.
