Ways to Improve Insulin Sensitivity: Diet | Supplement | Exercise

Throughout life, your cells can become insulin resistant, which means they no longer respond to insulin as they once did. As a result, you live with higher blood sugar and insulin levels that can block weight loss. If not corrected, your risk of prediabetes and diabetes increase.

It is possible to regain some insulin sensitivity. In this video, I share exercise, supplement, and diet strategies that you can start using today to become more insulin sensitive.

Walking with and for my Husband and grandchildren is my favorite “exercise.”

Great info, this really works, I've been doing this for three months and have gone from 62 insulin injections per month in Dec. to 11 in Jan and just 5 in Feb. I expect to be off meds in March with normal glucose readings . Dr Becky always has outstanding videos.

[PahlaB]

I love the way you explain things so simply and clearly - thanks for this!

[liongroove]

Thank you Dr. Becky for helping me fixing my insulin resistance issue. Because of you, now I'm taking berberine and Apple Cider Vinegar.

This is very true, I've been a gym goer For about 2 weeks now I was hovering around 124 to 216 I was taken off xigduo and yesterday fasting reading was 103-second reading was 133 I was blown away. Wednesday I start a life change of eating it's a bit overwhelming but doable, the doc wants me down to 250 or better I just want to get back where my body will start back healing itself if that's below 250 so be it.

I discovered that I had insulin resistance when I was 17. My homa-ir was 9, now it is 3.5. I lost 20 kgs and need to lose 10 more. I am losing slowly and steadily.

I’ve been using the trace minerals for a little over a year now at the suggestion of my father who started giving us some “out-of-the-box and unheard of dietary additions LOL when we were very young in the 70s. He was always ahead of the times but I believe he has helped me as well as my siblings now as aging adults and I’m quite thankful!
My joints feel great and I have been able to maintain my weight and not feel deprived with my dietary intake at all! Thank you!

[javiermachin]

So much valuable advice packed in a short video… Thank you Doctor. Blessings.

[shekatagani]

Thanks Dr Becky! I love the videos and info you provide!

[guruisinside]

Great info. Is it advisable to take the potassium supplements also trying to remove the insulin resistance ? Thanks.

[markgriffin]

Thanks for being such a practical font of knowledge Dr. Becky. I’ve been watching your videos for about a year now and have learned a lot about low carb living.

Great info on supplements. Homework begins now. Enjoy your well researched feeds. Thanks Beck.

[normhodgkinson]

Dr. B your videos are so good, i feel as if i'm in your kitchen and you are talking directly to me. as always, thanks for the great info.

[thehiltongirl]

I have just begun lchf, and was surprised watching your video as I already have some of the above apart from the berberine. I have magnesium tablets and vitamin d3, I was doing all of the above with a calorie controlled diet app, however the weight was so so slow coming off. If I even went over my cals by 100 one day it would stop the loss altogether, and that was by mistake one week. I am looking forward to better results.

[thelovelytanika]

can you do video on inositol, berberine and acv for persons who have PCOS?
