Why Insulin Resistance Is Often Missed
Many people have insulin resistance years before their blood sugar becomes abnormal.
Standard tests often miss it because:
• Fasting glucose may remain normal
• HbA1c may not rise initially
• Insulin levels are rarely checked
By the time diabetes is diagnosed, insulin resistance has often existed for a decade.
Early testing = early intervention.

Why Insulin Resistance Is More Than “High Sugar”
Insulin resistance rarely comes alone.
It is often part of metabolic syndrome, a cluster of conditions including:
• Central (abdominal) obesity
• High triglycerides
• Low HDL (good cholesterol)
• High blood pressure
• Increased inflammation
Together, these significantly raise the risk of type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and fatty liver disease. Treating symptoms individually isn’t enough; addressing insulin resistance is essential.

Insulin resistance occurs when your body’s cells stop responding properly to insulin.
To compensate, the pancreas produces more insulin, leading to chronically high insulin levels in the bloodstream.
Over time, this disrupts metabolism and sets the stage for metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and chronic inflammation.
Insulin resistance is often silent—but the damage starts long before blood sugar rises.
📌 Early detection is key.
Healthy fasting insulin: < 5 uIU/mL
Post-meal insulin: should not exceed 30 uIU/mL
Insulin resistance often develops silently—long before blood sugar levels rise.

Cancer is not just a “disease of bad luck.”
It is often the result of long-term imbalance inside the body; inflammation, toxin overload, hormonal disruption, insulin resistance, gut dysfunction, and weakened immune surveillance.

In Functional Medicine, we focus on reducing the body’s cancer risk terrain by supporting the systems that protect your cells every day.

Key Functional Medicine Foundations for Cancer Prevention:

✅ Reduce chronic inflammation
✅ Improve gut health & microbiome diversity
✅ Support liver detoxification pathways
✅ Balance blood sugar and insulin levels
✅ Optimize Vitamin D, Omega-3, Magnesium, Zinc
✅ Prioritise sleep & circadian rhythm
✅ Minimise toxin exposure (plastics, pesticides, smoke, processed food)
✅ Strengthen immunity through nutrition + lifestyle

✨ Prevention is not fear-based.
It’s empowerment through daily choices.

This World Cancer Day, let’s shift the conversation from only treating disease to also building resilience.

Your health is shaped by what you do consistently.

Fats: Protection, Detox & Heart Health
Healthy fats:
• Aid absorption of vitamins A, D, E, and K
• Buffer toxins by storing them safely
• Support detoxification pathways
Fish, EPA, and DHA are strongly linked to reduced heart disease mortality. Even saturated fats, when sourced well, are not the villains they were once made out to be.
In functional medicine, fats are not feared, they are respected, balanced, and used therapeutically.
If you’ve been confused about fats, this is your reminder that quality and balance matter more than fear.

Fats, Blood Sugar & Energy
Eating carbohydrates with healthy fats slows glucose absorption, preventing sharp blood sugar spikes and crashes.
This leads to:
• Steady energy
• Better insulin response
• Improved metabolic health
Fat is also the body’s primary long-term energy storage system, helping protect organs and sustain us during times of scarcity.

Fats, Hormones & Fertility
Fats are essential for hormone production and reproductive health.
ARA-derived compounds are required for:
• Ovulation
• Cervical softening during labor

DHA is essential for s***m formation and brain development.
In functional medicine, hormonal balance always includes fat balance.

Fats, Eyes, Skin & Hair
The retina contains more DHA than any other tissue in the body.
Healthy fats also:
• Strengthen the skin barrier
• Prevent moisture loss
• Support wound healing
• Maintain hair and scalp health
Linoleic acid supports ceramide production, while saturated fats help create protective skin waxes that guard against damage.

Fats & Cell Membrane Health
Every cell in your body is wrapped in a membrane made of fatty acids.
These membranes:
• Protect the cell
• Regulate what enters and exits
• Enable cell communication
Without adequate healthy fats, cell membranes lose integrity, impacting immunity, detoxification, and energy production.
Healing starts at the cell membrane.

Omega-6 Fats: Balance Is Key
Omega-6 fats are not the enemy; excess is.
Excess linoleic acid (LA) has been associated with:
• Inflammation
• Gut dysbiosis
• Vitamin E depletion
• Liver disease and weight gain
Meanwhile, arachidonic acid (ARA) is essential for brain health, muscle repair, blood vessel function, and cellular signaling.
Health depends on balance, not elimination.
