Most of us know that insulin is one of the most important hormones in our bodies. Whenever we eat foods that are high in glucose, insulin's binds to a cell's receptor site, allowing glucose into the cell to be used for energy or stored as fat. When we experience insulin resistance, however, insulin and glucose don't actually make their way into our cells properly. This results in higher amounts of both floating around in our blood streams. This can cause weight gain... and inflammation, along with fatigue and increased hunger. In PCOS, high insulin levels can increase testosterone. This can manifest in irregular periods, cystic acne, and excess hair growth. Fortunately, there are several supplements that can help to improve insulin resistance. Read Dr. Samina's latest article on the blog to learn all about three popular supplements for insulin resistance, and how they work. . . . #whitelotus #whitelotusclinic #naturopath #naturopathicdoctor #torontonaturopath #torontonaturopathicdoctor #womenshealth #hormonehealth #hormonalhealth #thyroid #pcos #infertility #pcoswarrior See more
