Episode 25:26 The Signs, Symptoms And Blood Tests That Define Insulin Resistance

Believe it or not, there’s a really good chance that the cells of your body are Insulin Resistant.

That’s not good because Insulin Resistance is THE cause of many major chronic conditions.

Conditions such as heart disease, fatty liver disease, high blood pressure, stroke, diabetes, cancer, obesity, Alzheimer’s, PCOS, erectile dysfunction and infertility.

Unfortunately, most doctors know very little about Insulin Resistance.

How to identify it or how to treat it.

That’s not good.

The truth is, EVERYONE should know about Insulin Resistance.

- What it is.

- How to know if you have it.

- Steps you can take to reverse it.

On this episode I address what Insulin Resistance is and the blood tests you need to have done to see if you have it.

It’s information that I feel is extremely valuable and should be taught to everyone.

So please be sure to give it a good listen and then share it with a friend.

Thanks!

Episode 25:25 The REAL Cause Of Heart Disease

Guess what?

The REAL cause of heart disease is NOT high levels of cholesterol.

Nor is it a diet high in saturated fat. A diet that includes foods such as meat, eggs, butter and cheese.

The REAL cause is this:

Insulin Resistance!

Yes, Insulin Resistance is the number one cause of heart disease.

It’s also the best predictor of it.

In fact, Insulin Resistance is a much better predictor of heart disease than cholesterol.

On this episode I explain why.

I also answer the following questions:

1) What is Insulin Resistance?

2) What causes Insulin Resistance?

3) How to know if you have Insulin Resistance?

4) How to prevent/reverse Insulin Resistance?

The information on this episode is extremely valuable and should, in my opinion, be taught to everyone.

Be sure to give it a good listen and then share it with a friend.

Thanks!

Episode 25:24 Does High Cholesterol REALLY Cause Heart Disease???

For years we’ve been told that high levels of cholesterol increase our risk of developing heart disease.

We’ve also been told that lowering high cholesterol levels, primarily through the use of statin drugs, decrease our risk.

In both cases, what we’ve been told is wrong.

The truth is much different.

You see, while taking statin drugs WILL lower our cholesterol levels, they will NOT lower our risk of developing heart disease.

So, why have we been lied to?

More importantly… what’s the truth?

That is, what DOES increase our risk of developing heart disease and WHY have we been lied to about the “cholesterol - heart disease connection?”

On this week’s episode of the Get Healthy Alabama podcast, I answer these questions.

Be sure to give it a good listen and, as always, share it with a friend.

Thanks!

Episode 25:23 Taking A Statin Drug? Listen To THIS!

Did you know that, for most people, taking a statin (cholesterol lowering) drug does nothing to reduce their chance of having a heart attack?

It’s true.

It’s also something I’ll discuss on NEXT week’s episode.

For THIS week's episode I want to focus on the potential side-effects of taking a statin drug.

Side-effects you DON’T hear enough about.

Side-effects that include:

- Muscle pain and lack of energy.

- Brain fog and memory loss.

- Digestive problems and depression.

- Low libido and erectile dysfunction.

- Increased risk of developing diabetes and cancer.

These side-effects are real and impact millions of people worldwide. Yet, very little is said about them.

In fact, most doctors DON’T know about them.

That needs to change… starting today.

Give this episode a good listen, especially if you or a loved one take a statin drug.

And, as always, please share this episode with a friend.

Thanks!

Episode 25:22 It’s Not Your Thyroid… It’s This!

When is a Thyroid problem, NOT a Thyroid problem?

That’s a great question. One I answer on this episode.

Specifically, I talk about a patient of mine who saw her Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) levels spiral out of control.

However, the problem WASN’T with her Thyroid.

Nor was it with her Pituitary gland… the part of the brain that makes TSH.

It was somewhere else.

Somewhere, and something, that had nothing to do with her Thyroid.

In fact, it was something we discovered after looking at some of her OTHER blood tests.

Something that anyone who takes Thyroid medication should be aware of.

Give this episode a good listen and, as always, share it with a friend.

Thanks!

Episode 25:19 The ONLY 3 Things You Need To Know About Cholesterol

EVERYONE knows that Cholesterol is important and that “high levels” can lead to heart disease.

Or, at least that’s what everyone is told.

The truth is this:

The correlation between your Cholesterol levels and your health is not as straightforward as you may think.

For example, you can have “high” levels of cholesterol and still be extremely healthy.

Or, you can have “high” levels of cholesterol… be given a Cholesterol lowering drugs (statin)… and have your health deteriorate!

In either case, YOU should be educated regarding your options.

That is, you should know enough about Cholesterol - and what your personal blood test results reveal - to be able to make an intelligent decision regarding any potential treatments.

On this episode I help you with that.

Specifically, I share 3 important facts about Cholesterol that you really need to know.

Facts that will help you understand YOUR Cholesterol levels AND the options available to you should you need to improve it.

Be sure to give this episode a good listen and share it with anyone you know who is health conscious… especially when it comes to their heart.

Thanks!
