Insulin Sensitivity Explained
Insulin resistance can develop over time, making it increasingly difficult for cells to absorb glucose, which leads to higher fasting glucose levels. To combat this, it's essential to improve insulin sensitivity by minimizing glucose spikes, akin to building muscle through consistent workouts. By doing so, the body requires less insulin to manage glucose levels, ultimately promoting better metabolic health and encouraging fat burning.In this clip

How does insulin take glucose from the bloodstream and transfer it to cells for conversion into energy/ATP in insulin-sensitive and metabolically healthy people, as discussed in the episode 270 ‒ Journal club with Andrew Huberman: metformin, power of belief, & how to read scientific papers and the clip Understanding Insulin Resistance?
I have a question about this episode 270 ‒ Journal club with Andrew Huberman: metformin, power of belief, & how to read scientific papers and this clip Understanding Insulin Resistance. Glucose disposal is tied directly to blood glucose and insulin. Basically, once glucose is consumed, it gets digested quickly and enters the bloodstream. In insulin-sensitive and metabolically healthy people, the hormone insulin is released. Can you explain how insulin takes glucose from the bloodstream and transfers it to cells, where mitochondria convert it into energy/ATP?
Why does reduced insulin sensitivity lead to increased blood sugar levels? I thought the more insulin we produce, the more fat we store. This question is in reference to the episode 10-Day Sugar Detox: The Secret to Saving Your Life | Dr. Mark Hyman and the clip Insulin Resistance Explained.
