In today’s episode we are joined by Dr. David Harper, author of BioDiet, for part two of our three-part series, Axis of Illness, Insulin Resistance. We cover insulin resistance in the context of the Axis of Illness and explore the causes, consequences and relevant co-morbidities. You will learn how insulin resistance relates to obesity and inflammation, the role of a Western diet, treatments for insulin resistance and diabetes and so much more. This is an incredibly important topic as in Australia alone, if diabetes continues to rise at the current rates, up to 3 million people over the age of 25 will have diabetes by 2025, yet it’s largely preventable.
