Well written by my colleague here at VWS, Dr. Maral Zarandi!

-Happy New Year 🥳! It’s that time of year where we all start making resolutions and setting new goals for ourselves in 2020. According to multiple platforms (Forbes, Good Housekeeping, Time, etc.) the top New Years resolution has consistently been, you guessed it, weight loss!! It’s no surprise to people that our society admires weight loss and fixates on achieving almost unrealistic body goals. Whether it’s starting the newest fad diet, signing up for a juice cleanse or dealing with the millions of ads that make false claims, many people feel the pressure to start making changes. Here’s the thing….many of these efforts are often not addressing the root of the problem - health is not achieved by a 28 day diet, it is a LIFESTYLE! Also, looking good on the outside doesn’t mean that the inside is always healthy too. Let’s get into it….

-The first hormone I’m talking about in 2020 is such an important one - INSULIN! What is insulin you may ask? Insulin is a storage hormone secreted from the pancreas that helps remove glucose from the blood stream transport it into the cells for storage. Why is this important? Because it helps regulate your blood sugar and is key to a healthy functioning metabolism. Instead of focusing on caloric intake, yoyo dieting, etc. get your insulin in check! Not only will this help with your metabolic goals, it also prevents you from developing so many conditions that are a result of insulin resistance such as diabetes, PCOS, CVD and so much more.

-So, how do you make sure your insulin levels are ok? The first thing (and probably most important) is to reduce, or avoid in some cases, all refined sugars and carbohydrates. Carbs spike insulin production…it’s as simple as that. Even lower glycemic carbohydrates raise insulin levels, but not to the same degree as white enriched flours, HFCS and sugar. It is really important to start surveying your intake of these foods and start removing them slowly from your diet.

-What to include instead? Lean protein and healthy fats have little to no effect on insulin. Meaning, they help stabilize your blood sugar without spiking your storage hormone. [continued in comments]
