Understanding insulin resistance, and fatty liver disease

In recent years, insulin resistance and have become central to understanding the growing epidemic of type 2 diabetes and related disorders. Traditionally ,the pancreas was considered the primary site of insulin related dysfunctions .However, emerging evidence suggests the liver play a much larger role. When liver becomes insulin resistance, it contributes to increased glucose production.




Liver plays a critical role in regulating blood glucose levels when functioning properly responds to insulin by

-Suppressing glucose production

-Promoting fat storage in moderation

-And helping regulate cholesterol and lipid metabolism


However An insulin resistant liver stops responding normally to insulin which leads to a cascade of metabolic dysfunction.



How insulin resistance affects the liver


  1. Increase increase glucose output:, Normally ,the insulin suppresses glucose production in liver but when insulin resistant liver becomes less responsive to insulin. It continues to produce glucose even when blood sugar levels are already high this contributes to hyperglycemia, especially in type 2 diabetes.

  2. Fat accumulation: Insulin resistance causes fat accumulation in the liver, giving non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. This triggers inflammation and oxidative stress for the damaging liver function.

  3. Inflammation and cytokine release

    A fatty liver can trigger inflammatory pathways and cytokine production.Fibrosis,which can progress to liver scarring and functional decline

  4. Lipid and cholesterol imbalances: The liver produces more very low density, lipoprotein, increasing progress delights, and lowering HDL contributing to metabolic syndrome


    A vicious your cycle:

    Liver insulin resistance leads to    -Elevated blood glucose

              -Increase fat storage

             -Systematic inflammation

             -And worsening insulin resistance in the rest of the body.


    The Hidden role of liver in insulin resistance


    Most people associate insulin resistance with the pancreas or blood sugar alone, but research is increasingly clear: The liver is often the first organ to become insulin resistance long before blood sugar level rise, or diabetes is diagnosed


    When your liver becomes resistant to insulin, it starts to


    -Overproduce glucose

    -Storing excess fat, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease

    -Triggering, systematic, inflammation

    -And distracting cholesterol and fat metabolism


    Liver insulin resistance leads to weight gain, fatigue, hormonal imbalances, pre-diabetes, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and more

    .

    Why our strategy works

    At Crabtree Health, we offer the most comprehensive and effective strategy to heal liver insulin resistance, because we address every angle

    -We don’t guess we test

    -Fasting insulin glucose and triglyceride to HDL ratio’s

    -Liver enzymes, especially GGT

    -Inflammatory markers like CRP and TNF alpha

    This gives us a full picture of your liver, metabolic health, and a how insulin resistance is affecting your body we emphasize

    -Liver focused nutrition

    -Reduce liver fat

    -Lower insulin naturally

    -Decrease inflammatory foods

    = And support Liver, detoxification, and regeneration



We also emphasize real food, targeted nutrients, and meal timings that support insulin sensitivity
