Insulin Resistance. The human body is a complex system that functions through a series of interconnected neural, hormonal, and vascular pathways. Hormones play an incredibly important role in every one of these functions, and they’re called chemical messengers because they signal your body what to do. 

Insulin is one of these important hormones, and when its production and release don’t go according to plan, it can result in a series of severe consequences that can be detrimental to your overall health and longevity. What is insulin resistance and how to prevent it? Here’s what you should know. 

What is Insulin?

Insulin is a hormone released by the pancreas when glucose is present in your bloodstream. Its role is to transport glucose to the cells in your body that need it to convert it into energy. If there is more glucose than your cells need, insulin helps transport it into storage for future needs. 

When your body doesn’t produce enough insulin, glucose can’t get transported to your cells and instead, builds up in the bloodstream, causing hyperglycemia. This condition can cause chronic inflammation, toxin buildup, and even diabetic coma.

Hack Your Metabolism. Aging is inevitable, but it’s also one of the main reasons we get sick. Our bodies naturally start taking more and more time to recover, our metabolism starts slowing down, and cells have a harder time rejuvenating. That leaves plenty of room for our bodies to start making unintentional mistakes on a cellular level, increasing our risk of disease and infection. 

David Sinclair, A.O., Ph.D. one of the top scientists and researchers in the aging field is known  for his Information Theory of Aging, which is based on the premise that aging is the result of losing essential instructions that your cells need to continue functioning. 

So, how can we hack our metabolism to slow down the aging process and why does it play such a huge role in our lifespan?
