Overview
​Insulin resistance is the root pathology not only of Type II diabetes, but also contributes to heart disease, stroke, obesity, hypertension, several common cancers, and other conditions ranging from polycystic ovarian disease to acne to brittle bones and depression. It is a pathology fundamental to the “diseases of civilization.” In North America it is severe in a third of the population, and present to some extent in two-thirds of the population by age sixty. Although cell level pathology is complex, the roots of this condition are based in malnutrition in the basic nutrients that regulate insulin; in untrained muscle mass; and in imbalances in the carbohydrate content of the diet. Correcting these three roots of insulin resistance, along with herbal allies to help restore balance, can cause some chronic diseases to resolve in a matter of weeks to months. In this course you will learn the pathophysiology of insulin resistance, see the side variety of conditions which have insulin resistance at their root, learn the influence of diet, exercise, nutrition and herbs on the condition, and receive the basic protocols to restore normal function. You will gain understanding and competence in the clinical application of protocols based on the material learned.
