it will also cause you to grow.

Now, grow means get a little fatter, but it also means things like their skin gets a little thicker, they have skin tags, and what I always think about is what's going on in their brain.

And when that insulin is high for years and years and years, just like yours, because if you didn't eat the rest of today,

And then you got up tomorrow morning.

It would be about that long after a late meal last night.

That's how long it would take you to say, OK, we're back down to where we started from or where we should be in the morning.

Right.

So it is what lifts glucose or sugar from the circulation into a cell.

That's its first primary job.

But if all the cells are full, their storage is full, it's going to start to pack it into the liver.

Let's say all those stores are full too.

This job of insulin, this hormone oozes into every part of your body to say, make sure it's got fuel, make sure it's got that sugar.

But most people are like what I would guess you are.

Most of the time, you aren't a shortage of sugar.

And so it tops things off, and then it will turn things into fat.

It's too much sugar.

They can't store it.

All the storage is full.

So you can send the signal out, make me some more cells.

I need some more storage units.
