The Gut: Root Cause of Insulin Resistance | Episode 49

The Health Pulse

Could the root cause of insulin resistance and metabolic disorders like type 2 diabetes be hiding in your gut? In this episode of The Health Pulse, we explore groundbreaking research that links gut dysbiosis, leaky gut, and chronic inflammation to the development of insulin resistance—long before blood sugar levels start to spike.

We break down how harmful shifts in the gut microbiome can disrupt insulin signaling, trigger systemic inflammation, and reduce your body’s ability to manage glucose effectively. You'll learn how short-chain fatty acids, dietary fiber, and fermented foods play a critical role in reversing this metabolic dysfunction from the inside out.

Tune in to discover why improving gut health may be the missing link in managing—and even preventing—insulin resistance. And stay until the end for practical steps you can take today to support your microbiome and reclaim metabolic balance.
