🧬 Insulin Resistance - Signs, Risks & Reversal

 

By Dr. Shruthi Thennati | Kayakalpa Clinic, Vadodara

In today’s world of high stress, processed foods, and sedentary lifestyles, one silent disruptor is at the core of many chronic health issues — insulin resistance. It’s a condition that often goes unnoticed for years, but it plays a major role in weight gain, fatigue, hormonal issues, and even heart disease.

At Kayakalpa Clinic, Vadodara, we believe that recognizing and reversing insulin resistance through lifestyle-based care is one of the most powerful ways to regain control over your health.

What Is Insulin Resistance?

Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that allows your cells to absorb glucose (sugar) from the blood and use it for energy. When your cells stop responding effectively to insulin, your pancreas produces more and more of it to compensate. This is called insulin resistance.

Over time, this condition leads to high insulin and blood sugar levels, setting the stage for type 2 diabetes, PCOS, fatty liver disease, and obesity.

🚨 Common Signs of Insulin Resistance

Insulin resistance often develops silently, but your body may send subtle warning signs like:

  • Constant fatigue or energy crashes
  • Strong cravings for sugar or carbs
  • Weight gain, especially around the abdomen
  • High blood pressure or high triglycerides
  • Trouble sleeping or feeling tired even after rest
  • Difficulty losing weight despite diet/exercise
  • Skin darkening (acanthosis nigricans) on the neck or armpits
  • Irregular periods or PCOS symptoms in women
  • Reduced testosterone and low libido in men

If you’re experiencing any of these, it’s time to get evaluated by an insulin resistance doctor in Vadodara.

🧠 The Long-Term Risks

Unchecked insulin resistance increases your risk for:

  • Type 2 Diabetes
  • Obesity
  • Cardiovascular Disease (heart attack, stroke)
  • Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD)
  • PCOS and Infertility
  • Dementia and Alzheimer’s
  • Chronic inflammation and premature aging

Early detection and intervention are key to preventing complications.

The good news? Insulin resistance is reversible — often without medication — especially when addressed early. At Kayakalpa Clinic, we use a root-cause, lifestyle-based approach to improve insulin sensitivity and reduce disease risk.

🧠💥 Take Charge of Your Metabolic Health - Why Exercise is Your Secret Weapon!

  by Dr. Shruthi Thennati | Kayakalpa Clinic, Vadodara In today’s fast-paced world, where sedentary lifestyles, stress, and poor eating habits have led to a rise in obesity, high blood pressure, and type 2 diabetes, taking charge of your metabolic health is more important than ever. But where should you start? Let’s begin with a common question:   Does exercise really help with weight loss?  Absolutely. Whether it’s a 20-minute swim, a brisk 30-minute walk, or a session on the treadmill, you could burn around 250–350 calories.

Making Healthy Choices Stick - Harnessing the Psychology of Habit Formation

  by Dr. Shruthi Thennati | Kayakalpa Clinic, Vadodara “All our life, so far as it has definite form, is but a mass of habits.” — William James, The Principles of Psychology 🧠 Introduction In our fast-paced lives, daily decisions are often governed by invisible patterns —  habits .
