"The Whole Story"

Insulin Resistance-related PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) leads to the release of excess insulin, a condition known as hyperinsulinemia. Ovaries seem to be particularly sensitive to high blood levels of insulin and respond by overproducing male hormones (androgens) like testosterone, which cause PCOS symptoms such as infertility, excessive hair growth, male pattern baldness and acne. Hyperinsulinemia can also lead to higher levels of "bad" cholesterol, which increase the risks of a heart attack.

• Insulin Resistance leads to the release of more and more insulin, a condition called hyperinsulinemia. The ovaries of women seem to be particularly sensitive to high blood levels of insulin and respond by overproducing male hormones (androgens) like testosterone, which cause PCOS symptoms such as infertility, excessive hair growth, male pattern baldness and acne. Hyperinsulinemia can also lead to higher levels of "bad" cholesterol, which increase the risks of a heart attack.

  " I have been on the Insulite System for approx 3 months. I have lost 33 lbs, my liver functions are normal and my A1C came back at 5.1, down from 8.03 months ago. I was taking 10 Glucovance pills daily, now I take only 2 pills in the AM. My blood sugar is normal, my energy is higher than it has been in years and I feel great. Insulite along with a change in my diet has changed my life. I tell everyone that asks me what I have done to change my life, about the Insulite program. Your product is fantastic. I have cut out all sweets, flour, dairy and have no cravings." -  Marta Garcia   Santa Ana, CA

  
  
  
• Insulin Resistance heightens your risk as s PCOS sufferer of becoming Pre-Diabetic which can lead to Type 2 Diabetes, an increased risk factor for Cardiovascular Disease. Insulin Resistance can also cause you to develop high blood pressure, another risk factor for heart problems.
  
  
• If you who have never been pregnant, you have up to three times the risk of developing endometrial cancer compared with women who have had a successful pregnancy. Insulin Resistance-related Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome is one of the most common causes of anovulation, the condition when women fail to ovulate regularly or at all. Lack of ovulation is the prime cause of infertility in women who have PCOS.
  
  
• Another troubling statistic is that if you are up to 21-50 pounds overweight, you run three times the risk of endometrial cancer, while women who are more than 50 pounds overweight run ten times the risk. Insulin Resistance-related obesity is also a root cause of PCOS.
  
  
• Researchers have long known that people who are overweight and suffer from Type 2 Diabetes are at greater risk from developing Alzheimer's Disease and other types of dementia. Many women with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome are overweight and some are vulnerable to developing Diabetes. Depression or mood swings are also common among PCOS sufferers. Persistent, unaddressed Insulin Resistance among people with depression may lead to the neuro-degeneration associated with Alzheimer's Disease. PCOS symptoms can also include sleep apnea (breathing problems during sleeping) and thyroid disorders.
  
  

Because there is no single solution that reverses Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome or Insulin Resistance, we feel you need to rely on a multi-faceted approach to improving or reversing these conditions. What is required is a complete system, including nutraceuticals (vitamins, herbs and minerals that are disease specific), a realistic exercise program, nutritional guidance and a support network that can help you change unhealthy lifestyle choices and address the issues presented by these disorders.
