Episode 142 - Reversing Insulin Resistance for Optimal Metabolic Health With Dr. Morgan Nolte

About 88% of adults have a degree of insulin resistance, which is a
silent contributor to chronic health conditions, including
Alzheimer’s, obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases.
The condition is both pervasive and easy to miss, making it a
critical health issue to address.

My guest today is Dr. Morgan Nolte, a board-certified clinical
specialist in geriatric physical therapy and founder of Zivli, an
online course and coaching program that helps adults reverse
insulin resistance. We discuss the dangers of insulin resistance,
its progression to type 2 diabetes, and its impact on
longevity.

Dr. Morgan explains the importance of understanding insulin levels
and the relevance of different blood tests. We also cover lifestyle
and dietary changes crucial for reversing insulin resistance, and
overrated fears surrounding dietary fats, meat, and
cholesterol.
 
Tune in and learn how to test and reverse insulin resistance,
prevent diabetes, and optimize your metabolic health.
