Insulin Resistance
Are You Experiencing Any of These?
- Weight gain around the belly, even with regular workouts
- Mid-day crashes that leave you drained
- Feeling tired or irritable if meals are delayed
- Energy dips after eating or late afternoon crashes
- Foggy thinking or trouble concentrating at work
- High blood pressure, cholesterol, or fasting blood sugar
- Concerns about family history of prediabetes or type 2 diabetes
Take Back Control of Your Metabolism
If you’re constantly battling sugar cravings, stubborn weight, or that mid-day crash, it may not be “just stress” or “eating habits.” These symptoms often point to insulin resistance, an early-stage metabolic disruption that can lead to type 2 diabetes if left unchecked.
At REverse, we use functional blood chemistry analysis and targeted lab testing to go beyond surface symptoms. We uncover the subtle patterns your body is already showing, like blood sugar swings or inflammatory markers, and create a personalized protocol to restore insulin sensitivity.
This isn’t just about numbers on a chart. It’s about real answers, energy that lasts all day, and a clear plan to restore balance before disease develops.
Why Traditional Advice Isn’t Enough
Telling someone to “eat less and move more” is like putting a bandage on a broken system. It may offer temporary relief, but it doesn’t address the deeper problem.
Typical lab panels often miss the earliest signs of metabolic imbalance. At REverse, we dig deeper, using advanced blood chemistry and functional testing to uncover the root cause before it becomes a diagnosis. That’s how we help clients finally move beyond frustration and make lasting progress.
How We Get to the Root of Insulin Resistance
Start With Comprehensive Blood Work
We start by analyzing optimal lab ranges, not just what’s “normal.” This helps identify patterns like poor glucose control, nutrient imbalances, adrenal stress, and thyroid dysfunction before they escalate.
Targeted Adrenal & Stool Testing (When Applicable)
If symptoms or lab markers suggest deeper issues, we explore the adrenal and gut further. This testing identifies Hormonal imbalances, pathogens, poor digestion, or inflammation that may be driving insulin resistance.
Restore Balance Through Personalized Protocols
We create a personalized plan using food, lifestyle shifts, and supplement protocols that supports adrenal gut health, lower inflammation, and restore metabolic balance.
Treat the Whole System, Not Just Symptoms
Everything is connected. By addressing the root causes affecting your gut, stress, and blood sugar, we support lasting improvements across your entire body and mind.
What the REverse Process Looks Like
Test with Purpose
We begin with advanced blood chemistry and optional labs to detect early shifts in blood sugar, inflammation, and hormone signals, often before symptoms fully appear.
Map the Plan
Based on your results, we build a clear, step-by-step action plan. Everything is aligned with your lifestyle, root causes, and metabolic goals.
Repair and REverse
With ongoing support, we walk with you through every phase of the healing process, supporting real blood sugar stability and long-term balance.
Why REverse Targets Blood Sugar, Gut, and Adrenal Systems Together
These systems don’t fail alone; they disrupt each other. Stress raises cortisol, which worsens blood sugar control. Gut inflammation interferes with nutrient absorption and insulin signaling. And blood sugar spikes place extra strain on your gut and adrenals.
That’s why REverse focuses on synergy. By restoring all three systems, we help improve
- energy,
- digestion,
- mental clarity,
- sleep,
- and long-term metabolic resilience.
