Insulin resistance occurs when your cells don’t respond well to insulin, making it harder for your body to regulate blood sugar. Over time, this can lead to higher blood sugar levels, resulting in prediabetes or type 2 diabetes if not addressed.

Naturopathic medicine focuses on balancing blood sugar through dietary changes, weight management, exercise plans, and natural supplements like berberine, chromium, or magnesium to improve insulin sensitivity.

Yes, insulin resistance and prediabetes can often be reversed with consistent lifestyle changes, such as a low-glycemic diet, regular exercise, stress reduction, and targeted natural therapies.

A naturopathic approach typically recommends a whole-foods diet with plenty of fiber, lean proteins, healthy fats, and low-glycemic carbohydrates to stabilize blood sugar and reduce insulin spikes.

Naturopathic medicine focuses on controlling blood sugar levels through personalized diet plans, exercise recommendations, and natural therapies like supplements (e.g., berberine, chromium) and herbal medicine. It also addresses underlying issues like inflammation, stress, and gut health to support overall well-being and prevent complications.
