Metabolic health educator Kevin Whitt discusses his article "Insulin resistance is not a disease: a metabolic reframe." Kevin argues that the skyrocketing rates of Type 2 diabetes are not the result of defective biology, but rather a predictable response to chronically elevated blood sugar. The conversation challenges the traditional medical view of insulin resistance, reframing it as a protective mechanism where cells limit glucose uptake to prevent damage from substrate oversupply. Kevin highlights how modern medical education structurally privileges pharmacological treatments over nutritional interventions, leaving doctors equipped to manage symptoms rather than address root causes. Discover why addressing the dietary carbohydrate load is the key to resolving this metabolic mismatch.
