#DeesyGram #DroppinSomeKnowledge Reposted from @drmarkhyman That insulin in turn creates a domino effect. It drives all those excess calories into fat cells that produce messengers that increase hunger, slow metabolism, prevent fat burning, and spike inflammation. In women too much insulin turns estrogen into testosterone. The result is something misleadingly called polycystic ovarian syndrome. It is not an ovarian problem; it is a dietary problem. The extra testosterone in women causes hair loss, facial hair, acne, and infertility. In men the testosterone gets converted to estrogen, which is why men with big bellies often have man boobs, low testosterone, impotence, and loss of hair on their bodies. In other words, they become more like women. The same high sugar and starch diet also spikes the hormone cortisol. When you eat a sugar laden diet, your body literally perceives it as a stress, just like when a tiger chases you. Adrenaline and cortisol increase, worsening insulin resistance and increasing cravings for sugar and starch. The cure: A whole foods, good fat, plant rich, fiber rich, low glycemic, and phytonutrient rich diet. This is what I call the Pegan Diet. Our hormones are highly influenced by what we eat. The biggest factor impacting your communication system is reversing insulin resistance. The good news is that reversing insulin resistance starts at home, with your next bite! https://www.instagram.com/p/CR437Iit0XX/?utm_medium=tumblr
