Dietitian: insulin resistance is more often a consequence of obesity than its cause

Dr Damian Parol, speaking on the "Można Zdrowiej" podcast, explains that contrary to widespread social-media claims, insulin resistance in most cases develops as a result of excess body weight and an unhealthy lifestyle, not as their root cause. This means focusing solely on treating insulin resistance without changing diet and physical activity is likely to be ineffective. Parol stresses that weight loss is the key step in improving insulin sensitivity.
