So a lot of people develop what's called insulin resistance.

Which means that so insulin is a hormone that allows blood sugar into all cells of the body.

And without blood sugar, cells can't function and they cannot stay in the bloodstream because they're they basically degrade blood vessels and they need to come into cells.

But insulin resistance is when the cells start saying no and insulin knocks on the door.

So insulin is knocking on the door saying, hey, I have some blood sugar to deliver.

I want, I need you to open this channel so I can bring it in.

But the cells are saying, no, you've done you've done this too much.

You've come to our door too many times.

We're not opening the door.

And insulin is a fat storage hormone.

So your fat stores are locked in when you have high insulin.

So this is really an epidemic, and a lot of people are walking around with what's called insulin.

Insulin resistance.

And that means that you're producing too much insulin.

Your cells are not responding to it.

And your body's constantly saying, we can't burn this fat.

We need to hold on to it.

So some of the just, I'll tell you just the quick little hits of what people can do for insulin resistance.

Of course, the GLP ones have come out and they're very helpful, but resistance training, strength training can be very helpful.

Taking a walk after a big meal, even if it's 10 minutes long, can dramatically reduce insulin resistance because the muscles are the only tissue that can take up blood sugar while actively working without relying on that insulin.
