Insulin Resistance: Same Diet, Different Result
Transcript
- Same diet. Same workouts. Same year. One lost six kilos.
- The other gained one. Wait, what?
- The answer is insulin resistance. When you eat, your body
- releases insulin, a hormone that tells
- your cells to absorb the energy from your food. But in some
- bodies, the cells become resistant.
- Metabolism slows. Hunger spikes. Every meal gets stored as
- fat. It's like being locked inside your
- old body. But recently, science figured this out. Molecules
- called peptides fix the problem
- from three angles. They quiet the hunger signal at the
- brain. They shrink the deep fat that's
- blocking the signal. And they make your cells respond to
- insulin again. When that happens,
- the body responds. Energy reaches where it should. Hunger
- settles. The weight starts moving
- in the right direction. These molecules come pre-filled in
- ReadyPep pens.
