Good morning, Dr. Icarus!
I visited your website and found it very educational and informative. I'm 32 and was diagnosed with insulin resistance a year and a half ago. In 2011, I gained 8 kilos, even though I was being monitored by an endocrinologist, nutritionist and exercising. I feel like a mouse in a laboratory: every professional I visit gives me a bunch of hunches, but nothing that's effective. Please advise me on what I can do (apart from maintaining healthy habits) to improve my health.
Thank you very much, Y
ANSWER:
Hello, Y.
I'll do my best to help you, you can be sure of that. To begin with, I'd like to know: have you read these?
I question this because the material in these two links is fundamental, and it's what I recommend to all my patients who want to lose fat (and gain muscle) in a healthy way. I urge you to read and consider these materials before starting any treatment with supplements, drugs or hormones (when necessary). I know it's a lot of information, but believe me: it's a quick read and helps clarify and establish the effective and natural foundations for a treatment that brings results, plus well-being and quality of life.
I can't “prescribe” via email or social media, in accordance with the resolutions of the Federal Council of Medicine (CFM). The ideal would be to assess you in person, in a detailed consultation and with tests, but I will do what I can to advise you remotely. I would point out that, in most cases (except in urgent or emergency situations), it is more productive to order more complete tests only for patients who already have good lifestyle habits or are making an effort to improve them. Otherwise, the results may reflect bad habits more than the patient themselves and what needs to be treated via supplements or medication.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Icarus
