"Insulin Resistance" with Dr. Robert Maki, ND

There is a growing body of research indicating that chronically elevated
levels of insulin, leading to insulin resistance is at the heart of
several chronic diseases afflicting our society: obesity, Type II
Diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, fatty
liver (NAFLD), poly-cystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), cancer, and even
Alzheimer's disease. It is important to understand these are not stand
alone conditions, but are all related to one dysfunctional metabolic
process. We will discuss the role elevated insulin has in the
development of these conditions and why a whole foods based diet is
critical to improving the dysfunction.
