Hypoglycemia is the scourge of our time, as its tentacles reach out to many parts of the body. I’m not the first to address this – in fact, the damaging effects of low blood sugar have been known for decades.

Insulin is the hormone that regulates cellular nourishment by aiding in the absorption and metabolism of nutrients from the blood.  Insulin resistance can be defined as the body’s inability to use insulin to metabolize glucose.
