How to Reverse Insulin Resistance & Diabetes
The last few weeks we've been talking about the major role that insulin resistance plays in contributing to inflammation and Alzheimer's disease, so I wanted to highlight some of the latest research showing that insulin resistance and diabetes are completely reversible.
Dr. Benjamin Bikman is an expert on metabolic health with a focus on the role of elevated insulin in regulating obesity, diabetes, and dementia.
