More importantly, I don't have insulin resistance.

Now, most researchers believe obesity is the cause of insulin resistance.

What if obesity isn't the cause of insulin resistance at all?

So what if we're fighting the wrong war, fighting obesity rather than insulin resistance?

We know that 30 million obese Americans in the United States don't have insulin resistance.

And insulin resistance, as its name suggests, is when your cells get increasingly resistant to the effect of insulin trying to do its job.

So for many of us, about 75 million Americans, the appropriate response to insulin resistance may actually be to store it as fat, not the reverse, getting insulin resistance in response to getting fat.

Logically, then, if you want to treat insulin resistance, you get people to lose weight, right?

I became almost maniacally obsessed in trying to understand the real relationship between obesity and insulin resistance.

Once you're insulin resistant, you're on your way to getting diabetes, which is what happens when your pancreas can't keep up with the resistance and make enough insulin.

So what I'm suggesting is maybe we have the cause and effect wrong on obesity and insulin resistance.

Resistance?

Insulin is produced in the Pancreas, what happens if the pancreas is not producing insulin properly? so.. no insulin.

That syringe contains insulin.

like the insulin pathway.

Resistance fighters.

Resistance fighters.

Heat resistance.

Resistance fighters.

The Resistance?

I had become insulin resistant.

Your insulin is in here.

Of the Resistance.

The human resistance.

We're expecting resistance

Start a resistance?

The insulin was making her fat.

This is a typical insulin injection.

So this right here is insulin.

But step one is accepting the possibility that our current beliefs about obesity, diabetes and insulin resistance could be wrong and therefore must be tested.

Silence often implies resistance.

Silence often implies resistance.

That was her resistance.

So you'll encounter resistance.

He's a resistance fighter.

Sporadic resistance, minimal casualties.

The resistance is growing.

He started the Resistance.

Maybe we should be asking ourselves, is it possible that insulin resistance causes weight gain and the diseases associated with obesity, at least in most people?

Well, it could be insulin or heroin.

Just like with Type 1, insulin can also be injected into the bloodstream. Now, you might say Wait! I already have insulin here... why would I add MORE insulin? .

They made a stubborn resistance.

Provide resistance against external rotation.

But what is electrical resistance?

This resistance member you're interrogating...
