Insulin resistance can be measured. However, the gold standard method is invasive, expensive, and simply not practical in a clinical setting.

So, how do you know if your efforts toward better health are paying off and making your body more insulin sensitive? This video shares a test and observable signs that you are overcoming insulin resistance.

    After six months of no sugar, low carb and intermittent fasting 4-5 days per week my skin tags are gone and my waist is down from41 to 36. Still a ways to go, but am so thankful for your videos and helpful tips. I am a 78 year old woman and had little hope of being metabolically healthy. Thanks for your practical tips and clear explanations of things to do. Now to convince the doctor I don’t need the statin he prescribed.
  • @rosrychaplet
    Low carb not no carb, but my a1c did drop to 5.0 then 4.8. Triglycerides down sugar down. 🎉. My BMI was 56. Now it's 29. So happy.

    I've been on low carb diet since January 2023 : my health has improved , lost 18 kg etc, but a teaspoon of sugar makes me very tired very quickly and if I sleep it off I feel hung over the next day. I avoid refined carbs and sugar as much as possible.
  • Yup, skin tags that had been there since my late 20s are now gone. Hooray! What did I do? Intermittant and longer term fasting , zero sugar, zero carbs (carnivore), zero seed oils, and zero highly processed foods.
  • @LenaSheppard
    Thanks for sharing this. I appreciate you being here for us !

    My goodness, a Doctor who understands nutrition and the catastrophic results of insulin resistance.
  • @bethsaylor5325
    I've been following you and doing IF and low carb for almost 3 years. I used to have skin tags on neck and underarms. They are all completely gone. Never had dark patches.

    I started intermittent fasting since 2022. I would finish my last meal no later than 7pm and would not eat again until late morning the next day. I felt good going to bed with an empty stomach did not lose much weight. I added ketogenic diet on top of that beginning December 2023. I have seen big improvement both in weight loss and fat reduction around the waistline after two months!
  • Just had hip replacement surgery and was told "motion is lotion." Need to keep moving. Also, "rest is rust" meaning sedentary life style makes you "rusty." I choose lotion!!!!
  • Skin tags gone. High BP gone. Lost 5 inches from my waist. Low carb diet worked for me!
  • I've been eating Keto/Carnivore for two weeks, and have settled on Keto, this works good for me. Your videos are so practical and very helpful, thank you.
  • @Dee-108
    Thank you Dr Becky. I really appreciate your clarity in all your videos.❤
  • @kimwilder545
    Omg! I use to have those skin tags in my arm pits and stomach and I’ve been so busy , I haven’t noticed but they are gone!!! Yes!!🎉🎉🎉 thank you so much Dr Becky!! I’m 53 and post menopausal the weight is coming off but so very slowly. I’m eating mostly meat, butter, eggs and a low carb vegetable like broccoli or green beans on an occasion. I also eat avocado on an occasion. I wished you had a pay program where I could get more specific information about what I could change or do better but I’m very grateful for the info I get now!! Ty so much!🙌🏼🇺🇸

    I have followed these videos for about a year now and monitored my morning blood glucose. My discovery is that bread can spike my glucose level quickly so I severely limit any bread or carbohydrates to as close to or blow 20g per day. I am now 71 years old and glucose levels have stabilised at normal levels for some time and thankfully my weight is reducing, so far 12kgs. I cant really see my eating habits changing from this routine. Intermittent fasting and low carbohydrate with monitoring my macros really works. This process I started due to vaccine damage and also thankfully my fitness and digestion is returning to normal, although I was wary of putting any stress on my heart. This summer with continuation of this way, I have new extended goals for weight loss and exercise. Thank you for your help.
  • @AnitaSolution
    I have noticed big spikes in my blood sugar when I'm in bad traffic! The stress factor is real~!
