Insulin Resistance & Weight Gain
Insulin is a hormone that is produced in the pancreas in response to sugar (glucose). When glucose levels rise, the pancreas releases insulin to help move glucose into cells, where it can be utilized for energy. If there is too much insulin, however, insulin resistance can occur. If this happens, glucose is pushed into a storage form for “a rainy day,” which leads to weight gain. As this cycle continues, other complications of this inappropriate storage will occur, such as elevated cholesterol, high blood pressure, and eventually, the development of diabetes.
