In this podcast episode, we explore the impact of stress on insulin resistance and diabetes. While diet and exercise are crucial for managing blood sugar, stress plays a significant role too. Stress can lead to insulin resistance by affecting beta cell function, lipid metabolism, inflammation, and the autonomic nervous system. High stress levels increase cortisol and disrupt the balance of our fight-or-flight and rest-and-digest systems. Managing stress through deep breathing, meditation, exercise, and other techniques can help reduce its negative effects. Learning to control stress and rewire our thoughts can significantly improve long-term health outcomes. Check it out. Let me know what you think!
