Insulin Resistance Explained
A deep dive into the complexities of insulin resistance reveals the critical difference between physiological and pathological states. Low carbohydrate, high fat diets can lead to a glucose-sparing effect, where muscles prioritize free fatty acids over glucose.

Understanding these mechanisms is vital for addressing metabolic health.In this clip
