If there’s one test you should prioritize for your health, it’s the insulin test.
Going forward, whenever you want a single test that gives a clear snapshot of your overall health status, look no further than the one that reveals your insulin levels.
Here’s why this matters:
You will rarely develop type 2 diabetes, cancer, high blood pressure, fatty liver, stroke, high cholesterol, PCOS, erectile dysfunction, Alzheimer’s disease, or heart attack without first developing insulin resistance.
For most people, insulin resistance begins 10 to 20 years before any of these diseases show up. It’s the silent root cause behind many of today’s chronic illnesses.
The good news?
By testing your insulin early, you can catch insulin resistance in its earliest stages—and reverse it before it ever leads to disease.
That’s why I call the fasting insulin test the most important health test you can do.
Do it once or twice a year, and you’ll have the best possible predictor of your future metabolic health.
When you combine fasting insulin with fasting blood sugar, you’ll know exactly where you stand on the insulin resistance spectrum.
Unfortunately, very few labs offer this test routinely.
If that’s the case where you live, don’t worry—there are reliable alternatives.
A fasting lipid profile can give strong clues about insulin resistance, and when you combine it with glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), you get a clear, powerful overview of your metabolic health.
The results of these simple tests can help you make informed decisions about your health—long before any symptoms appear.
But of course, the choice is yours.
You can wait until your blood sugar or blood pressure becomes abnormal…
Or you can act early and stay ahead.
Life is about choices — and this one could change everything.
