Since I started researching insulin resistance, I have never come across most of what Dr Boz shared in this video . Precise, straight to the point info . Thanks Doc !

I’ve had the dark skin folds Acanthosis Nigracans on my neck, armpits and groin area for over 40 years and was only told by dermatologists that I needed to lose weight but was never explained that high insulin levels were the cause, nor that it would lead to diabetes. Years later when I worked diligently to lower my glucose levels, the Acanthosis disappeared. Acanthosis is just a symptom of high insulin levels.

Ugh I used to be fat when I was in high school and first 2 yrs in college and when I realised I didn’t want to be a teacher anymore and instead be a lawman, I needed to lose weight. So I did and the difference in 2 years was amazing. And now I’m 33 I look better than when I was 19 and 20. The best thing to do is reduce sugar, increase vitamin D3, B complex, omega3s, magnesium, potassium, and all that stuff and be active by just walking a lot. Insulin resistance is ugly and horrible. May God give us good health.

That shin test! I thought it was a joke, but mine showed the thumbprint! I am horrified and will change my eating habits immediately. Thank you so much for these. New fan, have subscribed.

I remember my mom (who was a diabetic for over 40yrs) would test her shins. Now I know why. Thank you Dr. Boz

[Knowledge-College]

This video was the perfect length 5 mins! And can’t believe the amount of useful info it has. Thank you Dr!!

A doctor 10yrs ago saw the back of my neck and asked if i had diabetes in my family or if i was diabetic. I said no to having it and yes to family history..turns out I was right on the cusp.

I cant do Keto but did IF and lowering carbs 50-100 on average and lost 30 lbs Not eating at night (snacks) helped a lot (but was hard) and less carbs for dinner.

I have started your circadian rhythm eating pattern in my keto lifestyle.
Love your clear and succinct explanations.

Best, most concise, most quick and to the point explanation ever! Thank you!

This is so informative. I'm a bit odd. I know in my heart I'm Insulin resistant. I've never had sugar issues and my lipids are also good, oddly. But, I do have a fatty liver, a big tummy and skinny legs like my mom did. No ankle swelling, but I go into a coma if I eat carbs. Literally, almost unwakeable.. kind of scary to be honest. I do have autoimmune, so that causes inflammation flares. I have just started watching these videos the last week and love the information. I'm 57 and will be 58 in 6 days, I do look younger than my age, but in those tests for endurance or getting up from the floor, I fail miserably, I'm probably 110 according to those 😂. I hope I can keep learning and have my best life in the years to come! Thank you for these videos!!!! From the bottom of my heart ❤

So, I was keto for the last 6 years or so and, due to being sedentary, lost 20lbs of muscle this winter. So I tried carbs this last month and... dang... I feel like a lumbering sloth. Brain's fuzzy, headaches like crazy, get cold easier. It really sucks. Keto just works for me.

[lowermichigan]

found this channel after I started doing fasting because I am not happy with my weight and where my A1C is. The fasting was kinda rough to start but after doing it for a few days it gets easier and you definitely feel better.

[rfrancoi]

SO informative, I watched it 2x. Learned a great amount that was never told anywhere else.

[Woodybrush]

This woman is a Saint, I followed her advice on keto, and went from 213 down to 169 and it was relatively easy. The most important lesson she taught me was how dangerous sugar is!!!
I think that she has a video fruit is evil, anyone serious about their health should watch!! Much love and peace Dr. Boz!!! Thank you 😊

[mobiustrip]

Thank goodness for keto! Prof Noakes switched me on in 2016. Lost 60 pounds and never, ever looking back

[robertsteinbach]

I was having signs of insulin resistance until my wife and I started cutting carbs and increasing protein. At first I yo-yoed in weight but I now I am 5 lbs lighter, she is 30 lbs lighter, and our insulin resistance signs are decreasing. We need to work on it more but keeping the same weight year after year is a goal in of itself.
