My HealthKick
Dr. Strand started this program in 1997 in his office. At that point he was learning a lot about insulin resistance, then it was called syndrome X. After recognizing how important insulin resistance was to the general health, Dr. Strand spent three and a half years in the medical literature studying about the metabolic syndrome and trying to find ways to reverse it in order to help his patients. What Dr. Strand learned was that you don’t just wake up and have diabetes. It takes years and years of poor lifestyles and this offers us a great opportunity to intervene, recommend, and promote lifestyle changes that improve insulin sensitivity. Dr. Strand learned very quickly that since it was a poor lifestyle that was getting us in to this trouble and about 50% of the population has diabetes, or pre-diabetes that’s intimately related to the obesity epidemic. Insulin resistance not only leads to diabetes but to obesity. This is the major healthy risk that we have. Since it was poor lifestyles that got us in to this problem we found that maybe it was healthy lifestyles that could get us out. Dr. Strand came up with a try at healthy lifestyles that improve insulin sensitivity from a different mechanism.
