Your Labs Are Lying — The Insulin Resistance Most Doctors Miss

By the time your doctor tells you your blood sugar is high, you've probably had insulin resistance for ten years — maybe more. The standard lab panel misses it. Your A1C looks fine. Your fasting glucose looks fine. And the entire time your body is running a silent compensation system that quietly sets the stage for nearly every chronic disease of aging. Dr. Fitz breaks down what insulin resistance actually is at the cellular level, why it gets missed for so long, the one blood test to ask for at your next physical, and why you can be thin and still be insulin resistant.
