The Primary Causes of insulin resistance

Insulin resistance can be temporary or longer term. Temporary insulin resistance is linked with mood, stress, drugs – including steroids, menstrual cycle, dawn phenomenon, catecholamines, adrenaline, cortisol etc.
 

Longer term insulin resistance is linked to free fatty acids accumulating in the liver and the muscles, reduced populations of mitochondria in the muscles, refined carbohydrates and disrupting normal liver function.

The Good News is

Eating a diet that is primarily based upon whole plant-foods appears to reduce insulin resistance because it reduces the amount of fat in the muscles and the liver. If we combine more movement with this diet then we can increase the population of mitochondria (the duracell batteries of the muscle cells) and this also helps to increase insulin sensitivity.
