How Insulin Resistance Blocks the Flow of Energy and Why We Need “Good Energy”

For A Whole New Level, Levels Cofounder, Casey Means, MD, joined Editorial Director Mike Haney to discuss Means’s process of writing “Good Energy” and why the book came to fruition.

⚡️ Part of that discussion focuses on the problem with insulin resistance:

- Insulin is a hormone produced in the pancreas. In response to glucose (blood sugar) rising in the bloodstream after a meal, insulin is released.
- It signals cells to let glucose in so that cells can use it for energy to do their mamy jobs.
- But if we repeatedly eat foods that cause blood sugar spikes, we continually have insulin surges.
- Eventually our cells can become resistant to all that insulin signaling. They stop letting glucose in. That’s when we have insulin resistance.
- Insulin resistance can lead to a host of issues, including low energy, which can prevent us from living our fullest lives.
