Max Lugavere: Why Chronic Stress Is Making Your Insulin Resistant – Dr. Natalie Crawford
Peer-Reviewed Research
Key Takeaways
- Build muscle to help your body use glucose without relying on insulin, counteracting insulin resistance caused by chronic stress.
- Reduce chronic stress triggers like emails, meetings, and conversations that keep your body in a prolonged cortisol-driven state.
- Avoid dopamine-seeking behaviors (e.g., stress eating, scrolling) that worsen insulin resistance in the long run.
- Move your body to mimic the “run from the bear” response and utilize the glucose released during stress.
Notable Quotes
“Chronic stress is a huge driver of insulin resistance… we can now fight insulin resistance actually quite profoundly by using that glucose not needing insulin.”
Bottom Line
Combat stress-induced insulin resistance by building muscle, reducing chronic stressors, and staying active instead of relying on short-term dopamine fixes.
