Overall, this is a super-excellent presentation.

In the spirit of open scientific discussion, I'd like to offer an alternate model of the root cause of metabolic syndrome and PCOS.

It isn't much different from your model. In fact, your entire presentation can accurately rest right on top of the model I will present.


I am aiming to keep this comet as short as possible while still conveying the necessary information. Please do not confuse this with me being arrogant or dogmatic.





Metabolic syndrome and PCOS are the expression of chronic elevated insulin (chronic hyperinsulinemia).¹


That's it.

Literally every aspect of what you presented flows out from that → This is why I say your model can accurately rest on top of my model.


Note ¹: Chronic hyperinsulinemia is not the same as insulin resistance.





The one thing that all humans with PCOS and metabolic syndrome have in common is elevated insulin levels.

100% of people with metabolic syndrome or PCOS have elevated insulin levels. There are no exceptions.

This can be easily verified by taking a fasting insulin test. If the results of your fasting insulin test are over 6 uIU/mL, then you have elevated insulin.






Furthermore, if you break down each individual symptom of PCOS, you will see that elevated insulin levels are at the root of them.

Example 1:
Elevated insulin levels disrupt the conversion of testosterone into estrogen → classic PCOS hormone imabalce


Example 2:
I've levated insulin levels, negatively impact the quality of uterine lining and eggs → classic PCOS fertility problems


This pattern remains consistent as you go down the entire list of PCOS symptoms → you will *_ALWAYS_* find elevated insulin at the root.








The longer your insulin levels are elevated, the more symptoms you of metabolic syndrome and PCOS you will develop.






The model I am proposing identifies the root cause of metabolic syndrome and PCOS.

Therefore, the model I am proposing also identifies the cure — yes, *_CURE_* — for those conditions.


Since chronic elevated insulin is the root cause of those conditions, normalizing and steadying insulin is the cure.


If you take care of the tjree main sources of elevated insulin, you can reverse metabolic syndrome and PCOS:
• Sleep more than 5 hours per night
• Do things to relax
• Eat less than 20g carbs per day

Doing those things will result in normal, steady insulin levels which will allow your body to begin reversing other symptoms.
