Why You’re Not Losing Weight — Even If You’re Doing Everything Right
Understanding the Role of Insulin Resistance in Stubborn Weight Gain
🧍♀️ Patient Story: "I'm Doing Everything Right—Why Won't the Scale Budge?"
Meet a 35-year-old patient who came to our clinic feeling frustrated and defeated. She had:
-
Cut out bread and pasta for months
-
Committed to high-intensity training 5 days a week
-
Tried everything her doctor recommended
Yet the scale hadn't moved.
Her labs? All “normal.”
Her doctor told her she was simply a “healthy overweight person.”
🔍 What We Found
We ran a comprehensive blood panel, including a fasting insulin test. Her insulin was 36.
-
A healthy fasting insulin level is under 8. (Which is RARELY tested in standard labs)
-
The diagnosis when elevated? Insulin resistance.
-
This wasn't diabetes—her blood sugar was fine.
-
Chronically high insulin was blocking fat loss and driving hunger, fatigue, and fat storage.
Avoiding Bread, Pasta, And Excessively Exercising Won’t Fix This Problem!!
📚 What Is Insulin Resistance?
Insulin is a hormone. It is the MOST powerful FAT-gaining hormone, when you’re insulin resistant... Your body produces too much of this fat-gaining hormone, which can’t be fixed by exercise.
This elevated insulin:
🚫 Prevents fat burning
🤯 Triggers cravings and hunger
⚡ Makes people hangry
⛔ Causes inflammation and joint pain
📈 Increases the risk for diabetes, PCOS, fatty liver, and more
🥼 The Beginning of Treatment
Instead of telling her to “eat less,” we focused on what actually matters—hormones.
By lowering insulin through targeted nutrition and supplements, we finally unlocked fat loss.
🧠 The Strategy: Combining Nutrition + Science + Individual Blueprint
Our plan included:
-
-
A natural sugar alternative that actually lowers insulin. When used 3x/day, it curbs cravings and reduces appetite—even if you’re not eating sugar.
-
-
-
Used for over 2,500 years in traditional medicine, berberine improves insulin sensitivity and helps regulate cravings.
-
-
-
Supports metabolism and energy by reducing blood sugar efficiently by strengthen mitochondria - your body’s “fuel switch.”
-
-
-
Stabilizes blood sugar, reduced insulin, promotes mental clarity, and helps burn fat for fuel, especially when paired with RxSugar.
-
-
-
Improves appetite control and insulin balance by enhancing your body's GLP-1 response.
-
✅ The Results?
-
The weight finally started coming off.
-
She felt clear-headed, less hungry, and in control—not defeated
-
She didn’t need to exercise more and eat less. She needed to understand a hormonal dysregulation that we identified
