Deep-dive time – if you want to know the deeper mechs of Insulin versus cholesterol

Physician’s for Ancestral Health have just released my talk from their Miami Retreat last month. You want to go a little deeper on the mechanisms of Hyperinsulinemia/IR? Ok then – here you go.

With special thanks to Gabor Erdosi of the Lower Insulin facebook group – he has single-handedly decoded the early stages of this universal dysfunctional state. Yep folks – It all starts in the adipose tissue!
