We explore insulin's complexities, including its role as a storage hormone and its often-overlooked functions beyond blood sugar management.
We discuss how insulin resistance develops, its potential health risks, and the mechanisms that can lead to this metabolic condition.
Finally, we explore strategies to reverse insulin resistance, including dietary adjustments, exercise, and medical interventions like metformin and GLP-1 medications.
