"I have been studying Insulin
Resistance and have been doing quite a bit of research on this
subject. I really am impressed by your site as well as the sound
of your products to treat this syndrome."
Carrie Power, APN
resistance has many factors that contribute to its presence in
the body. In essence, our environment and lifestyles have
evolved too rapidly for our bodies to keep pace. We are still
genetically "wired" to thrive on the entrenched habits of our
ancestors who consumed different, nutrient-rich foods, a diet
low in carbohydrates and also sustained greater levels of
movement and exercise.
Some people may also have a genetic predisposition to insulin
resistance. Others develop insulin resistance through unhealthy
Over time, the above factors have damaged the complex ability of
our bodies' cells to properly utilize insulin to convert glucose
This results in devastating effects:
Insulin, which acts like a key in a lock, is less effective in opening up the cell and allowing glucose to pass through to be converted to energy. Unable to enter the cell, glucose is conveyed via the bloodstream to the liver where it converted to fat, ehich can lead leadi to weight gain and obesity.
Unused insulin also enters the blood stream where it causes a variety of conditions, including Pre-Diabetes. which is a reversible condition. This latter condition is reversible via a balanced, nutritious diet and regular exercise to lose weight. But if neglected, pre-diabetes can lead to type 2 diabetes, which is irreversible in the vast majority of cases and may require daily insulin injections. Type 2 diabetes significantly increases the risk of developing blindness and kidney disease and the need for amputations.
Other attendant disorders of Insulin Resistance are
the cluster of cardiovascular risk factors called metabolic
syndrome (syndrome x) and the hormone imbalance called polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), a leading cause of female
infertility as well as multiple symptoms including skin conditions, excess facial and body
hair and male pattern baldness in woman.
"I have been on the Insulite
System for approx 3 months. I have lost 33 lbs, my liver
functions are normal and my A1C came back at 5.1, down from 8.03 months ago. I
was taking 10 Glucovance pills daily, now I take only 2 pills in the
AM. My blood sugar is normal, my energy is higher than it has been in
years and I feel great. Insulite along with a change in my diet has
changed my life.
I tell everyone that asks me what I have done to change my life, about the Insulite program.
Your product is fantastic. I have
cut out all sweets, flour, dairy and have no cravings."

"In less than 3 weeks I've started losing
weight again after being
"stuck" on Weight Watchers for about a year. I've lost about 4
starting Insulite but more significantly my blood pressure is
well within normal limits now and I can tell my metabolism is
better. I am not getting that slump between meals and am able to control
between-meal snacking, and I have a lot of energy throughout the day rather
than periods where I need to nap. I just ordered the 6 months
supply. Thank you!"
"Obesity is no longer an American disease. Globalization's bounty—economic development, lowered trade costs, and rising incomes—has turned it into a worldwide pandemic for rich and poor alike. If it's left unchecked, the economic health of developing countries will surely be crushed under the weight."
"I cannot believe the difference
the Insulite System has made in how I feel. My appetite has
changed tremendously. I do not crave carbs and sugar and my
appetite is somewhat diminished."
"There is a clear and consistent scientific literature showing pervasive bias against overweight people. It is logical that the bias begets discrimination. There is now sufficient evidence of discrimination to suggest it may be powerful and occurs across important areas of living.
Studies on employment have shown hiring prejudice in laboratory studies. Subjects report being less inclined to hire an overweight person than a thin person, even with identical qualifications. Individuals make negative inferences about obese persons in the workplace, feeling that such people are lazy, lack self-discipline, and are less competent. One might expect these attributions to affect wages, promotions, and disciplinary actions, and such seems to be the case.
Overweight women, for the same work, receive less pay than their thin counterparts. This does not seem to be the case for men, but overweight men sort themselves into lower-level jobs. There is evidence that promotion prospects are dimmer for overweight individuals, and there are many examples of people being fired on account of excess weight."
"I wanted to let you know how much I
appreciate your caring advice and guiding me towards taking control of my health.
It's hard to express in
words how long I have been trying to find the answers you have so easily
provided for me.
I am so excited about the positive changes in my health and I
can't wait to see where I am six months from now, yet alone the year. Thank

"Middle-age people who are overweight but have normal blood pressure and cholesterol levels are kidding themselves if they think their health is just fine."
"Northwestern University researchers tracked 17,643 patients for three decades and found that being overweight in mid-life substantially increased the risk of dying of heart disease later in life even in people who began the study with healthy blood pressure and cholesterol levels."
"Thank you so much for putting me on
the right road!"
"Simply losing 5-7% of your body fat (typically 10-15 pounds) and increasing your physical activity by taking a brisk walk 4-5 times a week can reduce your risk of developing Type
II Diabetes by almost 60%."
"The United States is experiencing an epidemic of obesity. Thirty-four percent of adults are overweight and an additional 30% are obese. Thus, 2 of every 3 Americans have an unhealthy body weight. Obesity contributes to over 300,000 deaths per year, principally through its association with cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and several cancers. Obesity currently is the second leading cause of preventable death and will soon surpass cigarette smoking, the leading cause. Health economists estimate that obesity costs our nation approximately $100 billion a year. And these figures say nothing about the personal suffering of those affected by obesity."
"I started your product and found
it really boosts my system,
helping me get off ground zero, and stop the spiral downwards.
It gave me the
energy to start exercising and prepare healthy meals.
You are all very supportive, even though I am on the other side
of the world
(Australia). I am very glad that I am on your product, your
are also very encouraging, when I am finding things a bit
harder. Thank you for everything."
