Insulin resistance is the number one barrier to weight loss. Overcoming it requires the correct eating and exercise program, along with the correct supplements and possibly medications. More importantly, individuals need an expert with experience and success to guide them down the pathway to long-term success.

A comprehensive weight-loss program optimizes hormone function to defeat insulin resistance. Worldwide, the prevalence of insulin resistance ranges from 15.5 to 46.5 percent among adults. It is estimated in the United States, at least 33 percent  of children and adults have insulin resistance, but the actual number may be closer to 50 percent.

Living in America is a risk factor for insulin resistance. It is critical that patients understand that only a multi-pronged approach including diet, exercise, supplements and behavioral medication will cure this major issue. The important thing to realize is that treatment is obtainable and effective.
