3 Ways to Tell if Your Teen is Insulin Resistant (This is Important)

Most doctors and parents think that a child being over-weight isn't really a big deal. Perhaps it might affect their self-esteem, or impair them a little bit socially, but it isn't really dangerous, right?

New research is emerging to show that permanent damage is being done long before a diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes is ever made. Evidence of kidney damage can show up years before a person becomes diabetic.

This revelation brings new urgency to childhood, teenage, and young adult overweight and obesity. Gone are the days when we can think of this as a problem just with appearance and self esteem. It looks as if even a small amount of Insulin Resistance, at even a young age, is causing damage that cannot be taken back.

I think this message is critically important but I struggle to share it with family that could benefit from it. Many of them are exceedingly touchy about being "overweight". I think some less tough love message on your part could help open those doors. To be clear, your advice and Dr Fung are part of how I've lost 105 pounds in the last year. Your message is on point, the messaging can make it hard. I'm a no nonsense, straight shooting guy but many aren't.

I'm 19, have been on the keto diet for 1, 5 years and...I TURNED MY PARENTS keto ! I wanted them to be the healthiest for as long as possible❤️ And now we are known as the "keto family" 🤷🏻‍♀️😅

[jodieolson]

My diabetic morbidly obese mother had a morbidly obese doctor that would tell her “if there was a magic pill, I’d know about it.” They are both dead now from complications due to obesity. I’ve been keto since 1/1/18 and hoping I can get my daughters to follow when they see my success.

I have two teenage sons who had both been overweight since early childhood. They have both decided to join me in the keto eating lifestyle and the results are startling. My 15 yr old has lost almost 40 lbs and has improved every other aspect of his life including his performance in school. My 17 yr old son has lost 70 lbs and is more active and energetic than he has ever been. I initially worried they may not enjoy the food but they are both enjoying it more than I do. :)

I started keto/carnivore in December 2017 and in 4.5 months have lost 88 lbs, reduced psoriasis coverage from 79% to less than 50% reduced psoriatic arthritis inflammation and pain by more than half. As a 50 yr old single parent and disabled person this is making a enormous difference. Between Dr Ken Berry, Dr Shawn Baker and Dr Eric Berg I've learned more than I ever did from my own doctors.

Thank you, from my sons and I.

You can prevent a young friend or relative from suffering the ravages of insulin resistence and diabetes...

I thank my coach in highschool, he was very anti-soda, anti-chip, high on the personal responsibility. I would be in a completely different situation today if it weren’t for that man.

[jakedrago]

The fact that this is an issue is really disgusting. Been to several funerals for people 10 yrs younger than me and I’m 44 . This is a terrible epidemic that is completely preventable.

[callmescout]

We need more doctors that are aware and feel this same way!!! Because, most when we as parents ask for these tests or voice our concerns their reaction isn't that something should be done.... it's more well they're young so we will just watch it and when it becomes a problem we will cross that bridge when we come to it. Very very sad!!! We need so many more doctors like you out there!!! Thank you for spreading this message and encouraging us to do the same!

[Bahrutile]

Our teens went keto with us back in 2016, totally changed them for the better!

[ashleyt]

Great video, great advice. It’s so nice to see a Doctor Who seeks the truth out and teaches his patients how to get better. You are one in 1 million Dr. Berry

[glennasmith]

Thanks so much for this message! I'm hoping you will do more videos geared towards teens that I can share with my family to help educate them and help them understand why we are making these changes. If they see videos from you it goes over WAY better than their mom telling them! Teenagers are tricky. They keep asking how long we have to eat this way (Keto). I have cleaned out the entire kitchen so they don't have any bad options at home. They actually like everything I make for them, but they miss the other food too.

[islandjason]

such a touchy subject but Im glad you have addressed it. I have shared and hope it reaches some of my friends and family who have overweight children.

[gaylegonzalez]

Yes! This info needs to be publicly broadcasted

[patriciamachado]

Teen overweight is very serious! I’m treating my daughter so she doesn’t end up like me struggling with weight in her adult life!

[TheChicago]

You don't have to be over weight to be insulin resistant. I wasn't and I had a heart attack at 39. The walls of my artery was eatened away. Now I know it was from sugar. I just learned that 2 years ago by doing my own research.I had copies of my blood work all the way back since I had the heart attack. I'm now 54. The first time I ever heard the term insulin resistant was 2014 by my gyn not my cardiolost.

[timb.]

Good stuff, Dr. Berry. I made some serious changes in the kitchen at the beginning of this year, as I am afraid that all but one of my kids seem to be insulin resistant. It's taken them a bit to warm up to the changes but they're coming around.

[carriesing]

McWendyKings...you are hilarious, not to mention the Dr I wish I had 25 years ago. Thank you for what you are doing.

[CountessofShopping]

Another great video Dr Berry! Thank you!

[TimelessjewelbyDebra]

Thank you..It's sobering about the old pictures reference. .I will share this...I was overweight and had an exploded gallbladder (I walked around like this for months. ..that lead to bile ducts being destroyed and me having a hepaticojejunostomy)..2 major surgeries and 1.5 yrs. of illnesses. ..

[eugeneng]

Great video, Dr Berry. It's sad for me that I've only discovered keto only in my late 30s, and have only started doing that after having more than 3 decades plus of damage done by insulin resistance. While I have been losing weight in a healthy way the past year, I do not know how much damage I can undo with the keto diet, but I suppose it is still better than not taking action.
