Episode 83- Determining Your Level of Insulin Resistance and Treatment Options with Dr. Alexandra Sowa


Listen Later

Insulin resistance is at the root cause of almost every lifestyle disease. It only makes sense to live a low-insulin lifestyle in order to reverse it. Dr. Alexandra Sowa is passionate about helping her patients reverse insulin resistance, and having a way to test for it at their fingertips.

In this podcast episode, we discuss:

  • Dr. Sowa's personal story and growing interest in insulin resistance
  • What insulin resistance is, and why she developed home testing for it
  • Why your doctor may not want to test for insulin resistance
  • What is included in testing kits and how to interpret
  • How to find your HOMA-IR score and start reversing insulin resistance
  • Testing for Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes
  • How to use berberine as a supplement to reduce blood sugar levels
