Reverse Insulin Resistance Naturally and Restore Metabolic Health

Insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes are on the rise — and often develop silently over time. In the U.S., more than one in three adults has insulin resistance, even without a diagnosis. Early signs like fatigue, brain fog, and belly fat are often dismissed until blood sugar levels spiral out of balance.

At DNA Care, we help you reverse insulin resistance naturally and restore long-term metabolic resilience. Our Functional Medicine approach is based on advanced diagnostics, neuroscience, and epigenetics — and is fully personalized to your unique biology and genetics.

What Is Insulin Resistance?

Insulin resistance means your cells no longer respond well to insulin, the hormone that helps move glucose out of your blood and into your cells for energy. When this process breaks down, glucose stays in the bloodstream longer, leading to high blood sugar, weight gain, low energy, and eventually type 2 diabetes. This condition often develops gradually and may cause symptoms such as:
• Sugar cravings after meals
• Increased abdominal fat
• Afternoon crashes or fatigue
• Mood swings and difficulty focusing

Root Causes of Insulin Resistance

Many lifestyle and environmental factors can lead to or worsen insulin resistance, including:
• Poor sleep and circadian disruption (e.g., shift work, late eating)
• Diets high in refined carbs, added sugars, and processed foods
• Sedentary lifestyle and lack of movement after meals
• Chronic stress and HPA axis dysregulation
• Gut microbiome imbalances (dysbiosis) and inflammation
• Frequent consumption of fruit juices, diet sodas, or ultra-processed snacks
• Certain medications, like corticosteroids or antipsychotics

Science-Backed Insights: Why Insulin Resistance Happens

Functional Medicine connects the dots between your symptoms and root causes. Recent studies show:
• Chronic stress raises cortisol and increases visceral fat, reducing insulin sensitivity
• Gut-brain signaling plays a key role in blood sugar control via inflammation and the nervous system
• Epigenetic changes affect how your body processes sugar and fat — and can be influenced by lifestyle
• Mitochondrial dysfunction (impaired energy production) worsens insulin resistance at the cellular level
• Circadian rhythm affects insulin response — timing of meals, light exposure, and sleep all matter

How We Help You Reverse Insulin Resistance

The good news: insulin resistance is reversible — and it starts with understanding your unique metabolism. At DNA Care, we take a science-based, personalized approach that includes:
• Advanced lab testing (genetics, blood, microbiome, organic acids, insulin, HOMA-IR)
• Metabolic and hormonal mapping, including mitochondrial function and inflammation markers
• Nutrition as medicine, based on your biochemistry and glucose response
• Epigenetically-informed lifestyle changes that influence genes like PPARγ, IRS1, and TCF7L2
• Nervous system regulation (stress, vagus nerve tone, HPA axis support)
• Circadian alignment, including sleep optimization, eating windows, and morning light exposure

Our goal is to help you restore insulin sensitivity, support your mitochondria, reduce inflammation, and feel energized again.

What to Expect at DNA Care

We start with a comprehensive intake: your health history, symptoms, lifestyle, and risk factors. Based on your needs, we may recommend targeted functional testing to identify underlying patterns.

Your personalized care plan includes practical, sustainable steps — with expert guidance at every stage. We also coordinate with your physician, endocrinologist, or dietitian to ensure integrative, collaborative care.
