Speaker: David Winston. Insulin resistance, obesity and metabolic syndrome (MetS) have been linked to a wide range of chronic degenerative diseases including diabetes, cancer, heart disease, atherosclerosis, hypertension and Alzheimer's disease. MetS also interferes with healthy sleep, inhibits digestion, causes hyper-coagulation of the blood and decreases immune function. In this class we discuss the dietary, nutritional and lifestyle causes of this common condition, and its prevention and effective treatment using botanicals, nutritional supplements, lifestyle changes and diet.
