Show Notes
- Prediabetes raises the risk of death by 64% in adults aged 20 to 54, making it far more dangerous at a younger age than later in life
- Most people with prediabetes have no obvious symptoms, which means you could be at risk without knowing it unless you get tested
- Unlike older adults, younger people with prediabetes often face faster disease progression and fewer overlapping health issues to mask the danger
- Simple lifestyle shifts like cutting vegetable oils, reintroducing the right carbs, reducing toxin exposure, and getting daily sunlight restore your body's ability to make energy
- The HOMA-IR test is an effective way to track insulin resistance and see if your efforts are truly reversing prediabetes
