Insulin is the hormone that packs sugar away into the tissues and into the liver.
And thank God, because if we didn't have insulin, we would have diabetes.
Insulin...
And resistance is growing and that leads to diabetes increasingly.
And so diabetes is, in most parts of the world now, is becoming another big health issue.
And it's mainly because we have too many carbs, too much sugar in the diet, because whenever we eat sugar, particularly sugar, there's more work for the insulin to do, so it gets more likely to get run down and tired.
When you're on a keto diet, it's been observed that you get more insulin sensitive.
So in other words, insulin works better.
So you can reverse early stages of diabetes by switching to a keto, for example.
Now, interestingly, many menstrual problems are linked to insulin resistance.
And there's something called PCOS, which affects quite a lot of women now.
in which the ovaries basically produce more hormone-producing cysts, polycystic ovary syndrome.
And that is increasingly linked with insulin resistance.
So it affects people who are more likely to be in the pre-diabetic phase, putting on weight and that sort of thing.
The insulin resistance itself switches the hormone balance and the menstrual cycle is a wonderful choreography.
I mean, when you think about it, you know, all around the world it's a pretty predictable cycle and it runs itself.
But if there's something like insulin resistance getting in the way, then that can disrupt life.
So someone like your girlfriend might find that switching to a keto diet abolishes or reduces that disruptor.
I think, I mean, the modern woman, the modern man, for that matter, has a whole string of burdens to carry because we have too much sugar.
I mean, when you think about it, you know, sugar only emerged as a common ingredient, you know, 140 years ago, 150 years ago.
