#47 - Surprising symptoms & diseases tied to insulin resistance & metabolism (Ben Bikman & Casey Means)

But with a metabolic origin (specifically with insulin resistance), there can be a metabolic solution. Blood glucose levels and insulin are tied to many more chronic diseases than just Type 2 Diabetes.
