Metabolic Syndrome is characterized by having at least
three of the following symptoms:
Insulin Resistance (when the body can’t absorb blood sugar or insulin
properly)
Abdominal fat – in men this means a 40 inch waist or larger, in women 35
inches or larger
High blood sugar levels – at least 110 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) after
fasting
High triglycerides – greater than 150 mg/dL in the blood stream
HDL (the "good" cholesterol) – less than 40 mg/dL if male or less than 50
mg/DL if female
Excess plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI-1) in the blood
Blood pressure of 130/85 mmHg or higher
Elevated fibrinogen of greater than 400 mg/dl
A family history of heart disease, diabetes, obesity or high blood pressure
More than 20 lbs overweight
A "spare tire" or apple-shaped body
Exercise less than 2 times per week
Crave sweets and carbohydrates
Key factors in the development of Metabolic Syndrome are weight gain and
obesity, and Insulin Resistance can be an underlying factor because reduced insulin receptors on the cell membrane can preventi the efficient conversion of food into energy. It’s been estimated
that healthy people have 20,000 insulin receptor sites per cell, while
the average overweight individual can have as few as 5,000. This can result in an
increased levels of insulin in the bloodstream.
If you have a greatly reduced number of insulin receptor sites on the cells'
surface, your ability to lose weight can be compromised. Insulin acts as "a
key in a lock", allowing glucose to pass through the cell membrane to be converted
to energy. If you have too few receptor sites, glucose bounces off the cell
instead of passing thought the "insulin" door or receptor. As a result, glucose
free-floats in the bloodstream as elevated blood sugar which
when passed through the liver is converted to fat and stored throughout the
body which can result in weight gain, and obesity.
Excess free-floating insulin can also have an unhealthy affect. It can damage the lining
of the arteries and contribute to the development of atherosclerosis characterized by a build-up of plaque on the artery walls. In
addition, unhealthy insulin levels can lead to a greater risk for developing
heart disease where increased levels of
triglycerides are an underlying factor. As your weight increases, stressors build up on the entire
cardiovascular system. The heart and lungs, for example, have to work harder to
distribute an adequate amount of freshly-oxygenated blood throughout the body.
As well as increased triglycerides, there can be lower "good" HDL
cholesterol that can be unhealthy and can increase risk of cardiovascular disease.
Increased insulin and glucose levels in people with Metabolic Syndrome
can affect the kidneys' ability to remove salt
from the bloodstream. That can contribute to elevated blood pressure and an increased risk of blood clot formation. All of these can be
factors in the development of Cardiovascular Disease.
10 IU/mL and below is optimal; over 10
IU/mL is high.
High sensitive CRP (C-Reactive Protein):
Less than 1.0
μU/ml is optimal.
Triglycerides:
50-100 mg/dL is optimal, 100-150 mg/dL
is moderate and over 150 mg/dL is high.
Homocysteine:
Less than 6 μmol.L is optimal; greater
than 9 μmol/L is high.
Cholesterol:
HDL 40 mg/dL is good, although higher
is even better. In studies, women with HDL of 70 mg/dL had low cardiac risk. LDL
of less than 100 mg/dL is good. Total cholesterol should be less than 200 mg/dL or
under.
Fasting glucose:
Normal is 74-106 mg/dL. Values of 100-125 mg/dL are
indicative of Pre-Diabetes. Values greater than or equal to 126 mg/dL are indicative
of Type 2 Diabetes.
Results greater than or equal to 200 at 2 hours following the oral glucose
tolerance test indicate Type 2 Diabetes.
Plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI -1):
Greater than 31. This test is not yet commonly performed.
Fibrinogen:
This test is a general measure of inflammatory processes in
the body and the results vary greatly with the patient’s age, gender and
test method. Results that are both too high and too low are problematic.
Refer to your specific laboratory for interpretation of the results.
You do not need to get every single test listed above to rule out Metabolic Syndrome (Syndrome X).
If you have results that are elevated in 4 of these 8 tests, there is a high probability
of having this condition.
This product has been designed specifically for people
with Metabolic Syndrome. The Insulite MetaX System is an
important strategy for managing your condition and reversing Insulin
Resistance, a factor in Metabolic Syndrome.
The Insulite MetaX System has several elements. Because people with
Metabolic Syndrome have several metabolic changes that affect the cardiovascular
system, the REJUVENX product has increased B6, B12, folic acid, and vitamins that
can help manage homocysteine. Additionally, the OMEGAX product is an
Omega-3 fatty acid that can help reduce elevated hs-CRP (high sensitivity CRP) and
fibrinogen, as well as help improve lipid profiles (increasing HDL and lowering TG
and LDL) and the prothrombic state of having too much PAI-1 (platelet
aggravating factor - 1).
The other elements of the MetaX System are designed to help manage insulin and blood
glucose levels and support good cardiovascular health. We also provide nutritional and exercise guidelines,
plus a support network to help with your weight loss success as this is a critical step
in managing Metabolic Syndrome.
No. We do not believe the stimulant approach is
beneficial for long term weight loss, which is vital for managing Metabolic Syndrome in most people. In fact, reducing one’s appetite and over
stimulating the body can cause a rebound of weight gain! Stimulants can be
dangerous and Insulite Laboratories is committed to
your wellbeing by providing a lasting, safe, scientifically-based solution to
help manage your weight and health problems.
Additionally, weight loss products containing stimulants can be unhealthy for people with high blood pressure, glaucoma, edema, a history of stroke, heart palpitations, hyperaldosteronism, or pregnant
How long do I stay on the
MetaX System Scientific research suggests effective change in the body at a cellular level needs to be
gradual. You did not become overweight and Insulin Resistant overnight.
Therefore, it is not realistic or safe to attempt or expect results
in a few days. We recommend that you follow the guidelines of the Insulite MetaX
System for at least six months. Most of our customers will
need to stay on the system for at least one year. Keep in mind that we recommend
your weight loss does not exceed ½ to 1 lb. per week. At the end of 6-12 months, we
would like to evaluate your progress with you and make recommendations for a
course of action based on that evaluation. Just email us to arrange a complimentary telephone consultation with our Consulting & Advisory Teams.
Please do not be discouraged! Research shows that the rapid weight loss evident
in most fad diets is almost immediately followed by rapid weight gain. Why?
Because the body has a memory. If you have been overweight for some time, your
body recognizes that weight as its normal state. When you lose weight quickly,
the body does not have time to habituate. It sees the rapid weight loss as
abnormal and, once a diet is stopped, it makes an effort to get back as quickly
as possible to the normal retaining of fat. At Insulite Laboratories, we
emphasize gradual weight loss so that the body can slowly adapt to a lighter
weight as well as to eliminate the dreaded "rebound effect" of weight loss and
gain. Insulite Laboratories wants you to be healthy for life, not thin for one
event in your life. Because of the factors above, we recommend that you dedicate
at least six months to the Insulite MetaX System.
The InsulX and RejuvenX products are both to be taken 2
caps twice per day (4 caps of each per day). The GlucX product is designed to
slow the absorption of sugar in the blood stream. It is recommended to take 3
caps twice per day between meals. The OmegaX product is recommended at 2 caps
twice a day.
The total number of pills is greater than most programs because we at Insulite
Laboratories know that there is no one pill that can affect the same type of
changes as our system. In fact, you are changing numerous ways in which your
body heals itself and these changes need to be supported with therapeutic doses
of nutrients.
Currently, there are no nutritional supplements for
weight loss or Metabolic Syndrome available over the counter that are
FDA-approved. At present, the FDA does not regulate the manufacture of these
types of products. Therefore, the Insulite MetaX System has not
been approved by the FDA.
Our supplements are manufactured using high-quality nutrients that will affect
metabolic change. Our manufacturer certifies the authenticity of all ingredients
in our formulas. Additionally, research conducted by Insulite Laboratories
confirms the safety of this formulation of nutrients. There are no toxicities to
any ingredients in any of our formulas.
They come from various sources. The adrenals are a high quality freeze dried mix from Denmark; they are porcine. All flax seed, for example, is made from organic flax seeds sourced from the northern USA.
Most minerals, some extracts, and vitamins are sourced from an international source which is the industry standard.
Insulite Laboratories develops relationships only with reputable suppliers and manufacturers who maintain the highest standards of production and testing to ensure the purity and integrity of the ingredients. All products have a certificate of analysis from their source and each batch is individually tested for microbial limits (when applicable), purity, and heavy metals.
Our manufacturers are a cGMP (current Good Manufacturing Practices) company that is fully compliant with the US Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) regulations.
The FDA has recently released extensive new cGMP laws for dietary supplement manufacturers with a 2010 deadline for full compliance. Our manufacturer is on schedule to meet the new regulations in advance
of the "comply by" date. They are inspected by the FDA and local/state health departments on a drop in basis. There have never been any complaints from these agencies.
Certificates of Analysis for the Insulite Systems' supplements are available
for review by customers. Email us your name, email address, supplement name, i.e. GlucX and the Lot numbers stamped on the side of the bottles.
Unfortunately at this time insurance companies do not recognize the use
of nutritional supplements and rarely reimburse for them. Some companies do in fact reimburse
their insured but the vast majority do not. In the future, we hope that our Insulite MetaX System
is adopted by conventional medicine and is used routinely as treatment for Insulin Resistance
and its related disorders.
No. There are no ingredients in the formulas that will
have a negative impact on blood pressure levels. One additional long-term
benefit of using the Insulite MetaX System is that, by lowering circulating
fasting insulin levels, you will eventually reduce high blood pressure. Elevated
levels of insulin can actually damage the interior lining of vessels
and can contribute to high blood pressure/hypertension.
Yes. If you have elevated homocysteine, elevated hs-CRP,
elevated fasting insulin and/or glucose and your cholesterol levels are not what
they should be, you can still have Metabolic Syndrome and benefit from this
product. While it seems unlikely that people who are not overweight would have
all the changes in blood tests that can reflect the presence of Metabolic
Syndrome, it is possible. A way to manage your condition however is to change the
way your body responds to the food you eat.
The diet and exercise guidelines are included in the
price of the Insulite MetaX System . We do not sell the different elements
individually, because the System was designed to work as a whole. Insulite
Laboratories finds that the best results are achieved when combining all of the
supplements with lifestyle changes.
Even if you already have a "good" diet and you exercise regularly, you will
likely benefit from the suggestions offered in the Insulite MetaX
System. Our diet and exercise guidelines were designed to enhance the effects of
the Insulite MetaX System.
As you begin the Nutrition and Exercise Plans, and the
longer you use the Insulite MetaX System, you should feel more
energized and your levels of stamina are apt to stay constant throughout the
day. Afternoon lulls in focus or concentration should decrease. You are certain
to experience a marked reduction in cravings for simple carbohydrates in the
early afternoon. Most people will also sleep more soundly and will awake more
refreshed in the morning.
Yes, it is safe to take actos and the Insulite MetaX
System simultaneously. Actos is an anti-diabetic drug that is designed to
improve the way your insulin is being used or to increase your sensitivity to
your own insulin. This drug improves glycemic control and, along with the
Insulite MetaX System, will help you become more sensitive to your own insulin
over time. This could help prevent you from becoming resistant to the insulin
you are taking or injecting.
Actos may be prescribed if you have Metabolic Syndrome as an indirect way to
manage this condition. Actos by itself may not help you achieve weight loss. The
added benefits of taking the Insulite System are that you can have chromium, vanadium, and antioxidants to help improve your sensitivity to
insulin and help reduce unhealthy insulin levels. Actos
does not do this. Additionally, we want to reinforce the fact that there is no
single pill that can reverse Insulin Resistance or manage Metabolic Syndrome.
Yes. We recommend that you still comply with the diet,
exercise and nutrient supplementation for the management of Metabolic Syndrome. The Insulite MetaX System is designed to help mainatin healthy insulin
levels a factor in Metabolic Syndrome. Additionally, the
formula is also designed to help lower cholesterol, blood pressure, CRP (C-reactive
protein) and
homocysteine.
Yes. However, we recommend that you are careful about
watching your blood sugar levels for several weeks when first starting the
Insulite System. It is important to monitor your blood sugar levels 3-4 times
per day especially initially. The nutrients in this formula are effective at
stabilizing blood sugar. The diet changes that we recommend require that people
with hypoglycemia are vigilant about their blood sugar levels. Additionally, if
you suffer from hypoglycemia, eat 5-6 small meals per day that are protein-based
and decrease consumption of simple carbohydrates.
Yes. If you decide to take glucophage (Metformin) while using the Insulite MetaX
System, please make sure to take the glucophage separately from the GlucX
product. GlucX contains fiber, which may interfere with the absorption of
glucophage if they are taken simultaneously. We recommend taking the GlucX
4 hours apart from the glucophage.
Glucophage acts as an anti-hyperglycemic; it reduces glucose thereby reducing
insulin levels. It is prescribed for those with Insulin Resistance. Some
individuals with this condition respond well to glucophage in terms of losing
weight, but we hear from many people for whom this medication is ineffective.
Our view on the pharmaceutical treatment of Insulin Resistance is that there is
no single drug on the market that will change your condition. The only way to
reverse Insulin Resistance is to manage insulin to healthy levels.
The Insulite MetaX System was created to address and manage Metabolic
Syndrome. With those on glucophage, we cannot say that we have noticed dramatic
results in weight loss or other symptoms related to Metabolic Syndrome. These
symptoms can be managed with diet and exercise. The addition
of potent neutraceuticals will help you reverse Insulin Resistance and help you manage Metabolic Syndrome.
It is safe to combine SSRI's (Selective Serotonin Re-uptake Inhibitors), the most commonly prescribed anti-depressants, with the Insulite supplements, to the best of our knowledge.
Unfortunately, there are no clinical trials on the use of SSRI's and potenet nutraceuticals in any combination. We have many clients who are
on SSRI's and there has been no feedback regarding side effects, although the potential always exists because individuals react differently. Our nutraceuticals are made of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, enzymes, and botanicals, and there is no toxicity to any ingredient.
Examples of SSRI's include Prozac, Luvox, Celexa, Paxil, Zoloft and Lexapro.
In addition, there are several different classes of anti-depressants, none of which have undergone clinical trials with nutrients in any combination. These include NDRIs (Norepinephrine and dopamine re-uptake inhibitors ), which include Wellbutrin, and SNRIs (Serotonin and norepinephrine re-uptake inhibitors), such as Effexor, among others.
The main reason we recommend exercise as a critical part
of this system is that it will reduce your insulin secretion, a factor in Insulin Resistance.
Exercise is a necessary component of addressing other symptoms of Metabolic
Syndrome as well. It boosts your metabolism, burns calories and can help increase the number of
insulin receptor sites on your cells allowing glucose to enter the
cell and be converted to energy more efficiently leaving less in the bloodsteam to become fat after passing through the liver. Keep in mind that there is no
single strategy that is effective for managing Metabolic Syndrome. It takes a complete
system to support these changes metabolically.
Yes, it is safe to take actos and the Insulite MetaX
System simultaneously. Actos is an anti-diabetic drug that is designed
to improve the way your insulin is being used or to increase your sensitivity to
your own insulin. This drug improves glycemic control and decreases circulating
insulin. Both actos and the Insulite System will help you become more sensitive
to your own insulin over time. This could help prevent you from becoming
resistant to the insulin you are taking or injecting. Actos may be prescribed if
you have Metabolic Syndrome as an indirect way to manage this condition. Actos by
itself will not help you lose.weight. The added benefits of taking the
Insulite MetaX System are adequate chromium, vanadium, and antioxidants to improve your sensitivity to insulin and
reduce complications from too much insulin. Actos does not do
this. Additionally, we want to reinforce the fact that there is no single pill
that can help you manage Metabolic Syndrome, or reverse Insulin Resistance.
We have had feedback from a small percentage of our customers that they experience gas, bloating, changes in the frequency of bowel movements and even a change in the color of stools. This is mainly due to the GlucX product which contains more fiber than one is usually accustomed to consuming each day. This increase can cause these symptoms, which are completely benign. The symptoms will resolve over time. However, we recommend using a smaller number of GlucX capsules to begin with and then work up to the full dose. For example, use 1 cap twice a day for the first week and increase to 2 caps twice a day for the second week. Work up gradually and this will help reduce the side effects. If these symptoms persist, please contact our Consulting & Advisory Teams.
We have had feedback from a small percentage of our
customers that they have experienced headaches when starting to take the
Insulite supplements.
There are several reasons that the headaches could be happening, all of which
represent positive changes taking place in your system.
Headaches could be due to your body detoxifying which is a great thing. Or, it
could be low blood sugar, due to your decrease in carbohydrates and from the
supplements, some of which contain blood-sugar lowering properties. Another
reason could be that you are eating carbohydrates without combining them with
protein or fat.
If you are uncomfortable, we suggest that you decrease all supplements by half
for the first two weeks and consume 3 liters of water over the course of the
day. Slowing the dose will take care of this symptom and drinking plenty of
water will help flush out toxins.
Headaches can also result from a change in bowel habits due to starting the
program and making diet changes. Again, drinking plenty of water with a decrease
in the Insulite supplements at the beginning of the program will help eliminate
this problem. If your headaches continue despite both of these changes, please
consult our Consulting & Advisory Teams.
The pancreatic and adrenal tissues in the supplements
are porcine (pig) derived and are from Australia. They are range-free,
hormone-free and pesticide-free. The glandulars and the gelatin capsules are the
only animal derived substances in our products.
No. In fact, if you are having difficulty conceiving,
lowering your insulin levels can help increase your chances to conceive. We do
recommend, however, that, if you become pregnant while using the Insulite MetaX
System, you discontinue using the supplements during your pregnancy and then
resume them after you finish breastfeeding. The reason is that while we know
that the Insulite MetaX System is safe and non-toxic in general, these
supplements have not been tested in any clinical trials specifically on pregnant
women or infants.
It is safe to continue trying to get pregnant while you
are using the Insulite MetaX System.
However, if you do get pregnant, we recommend that you discontinue taking
the Insulite MetaX System supplements during your pregnancy, and then resume
the supplements after you are finished breastfeeding. The reason is that while
we know that the Insulite MetaX System is safe and non-toxic in general,
these supplements have not been tested in any clinical trials specifically on
pregnant women or infants.
We at Insulite Laboratories want to support healthy
changes that you have made, however, if you conceive while on the Insulite MetaX
System of potent nutraceuticals and lifestyle changes, we recommend that you discontinue the
nutrients until after you have finished nursing. The reason is that, while we
know that the Insulite MetaX System is safe and non-toxic in general, these
supplements have not been tested in any clinical trials specifically on pregnant
women or infants.
We strongly encourage you to keep working on the carbohydrate reductions and
exercise plan as these recommendations are both safe for pregnant as well as
nursing mothers.
We at Insulite Laboratories congratulate you on your
pregnancy and birth of your child. We recommend that you discontinue the use of
the nutrients in our systems until you have stopped nursing. The reason is that,
while we know that the Insulite MetaX System is safe and non-toxic in general,
these supplements have not been tested in any clinical trials specifically on
pregnant women or infants. We strongly encourage you to keep working on the
carbohydrate reductions and exercise plan as these recommendations are both safe
for pregnant as well as nursing mothers.
Yes. You may take your multivitamins while using the Insulite
MetaX System, however not with the GlucX.
Because it is a soluble fiber, the GlucX may interfere with the absorption of vitamins (and any other medications).
To be safe, we recommend that GlucX is taken at least an hour before meals.
Yes, the diet and exercise recommendations are safe for
all people over the age of 12. However, it is recommended that teenagers take
the Supplement Plan at half the adult dose since there have been no clinical
studies conducted with teenagers using the Insulite MetaX System nor any other
nutrient formula.
Half of the adult dose is: GlucX: 3 caps per day; InsulX: 2 caps per day;
RejuvenX: 2 caps per day and OmegaX 2 caps per day. It is ideal to take
these nutrients twice per day rather than all at once. GlucX contains fiber,
which may interfere with the absorption of medications if they are taken
simultaneously. We recommend taking the GlucX 4 hours apart from medications and
vitamins.
Both Metabolic Syndrome and Insulin Resistance are the
result of imbalances in your insulin and glucose. These imbalances can cause
dramatic swings in your blood sugar level. The biological effect is that your
brain continues to send signals saying it needs food. As a result, you continue
to feel hungry, yet no amount of food is likely to satisfy your cravings for
very long.
No. Fat does not cause the glucose and insulin "spiking"
that occurs with the repeated consumption of carbohydrates. A diet high in fat
may not, however, enhance your chances of weight loss and can pose other health
risks. The consumption of trans-fats has been shown to increase insulin
insensitivity which can lead to Metabolic Syndrome. Trans fats which are also
called "hydrogenated fats" are found in crackers, some chips, cookies, bakery
items, pastries and margarine and should be avoided completely.
No. Insulin Resistance occurs, perhaps for many decades,
before Type 2 Diabetes is diagnosed. With Insulin Resistance, the pancreas is
producing TOO MUCH Insulin and with Diabetes, the pancreas can no longer produce
insulin. If treated early, Insulin Resistance will not progress and become
Diabetes. Additionally, Insulin Resistance does not require the daily
administration of medication for control of the disease.
No. With proper nutrients and diet and a moderate
exercise plan, you can REVERSE the conditions of Metabolic Syndrome and Insulin
Resistance, which ultimately will ensure the prevention of Type 2 Diabetes.
To transform your body's chemistry in a manner that will
lead to permanent change takes time, commitment, persistence and patience. To
heal the ravages of Insulin Resistance you must honestly commit to altering your
lifestyle. Once you make this commitment, Insulite Laboratories is here to help.
Before you sign up for the Insulite MetaX System, please remember
that no single pill can reverse Metabolic Syndrome, Insulin Resistance or weight
gain. The way to reverse these conditions is with a complete system that
requires commitment and realistic expectations. Insulite Laboratories recommends
that you lose no more than 1/2 - 1 lb. a week on the System so that you can
experience long lasting weight loss without the heartbreaking "rebound effect".
Gradual weight reduction results in a more permanent
change in the way your cells respond to insulin. Research shows that rapid
weight loss evident in most fad diets is almost immediately followed by rapid
weight gain. Why? Because the body has a memory. If you have been overweight for
some time, your body recognizes that weight as its normal state. When you lose
weight quickly, the body does not have time to habituate. It sees the rapid
weight loss as abnormal and, once a diet is stopped, it makes an effort to get
back as quickly as possible to the normal retaining of fat.
At Insulite
Laboratories, we emphasize gradual weight loss so that the body can slowly adapt
to a lighter weight. In fact, in an effort to eliminate the dreaded "rebound
effect" of weight loss and gain we recommend in most instances that the System
is used to lose no more than 1/2 to 1 lb. a week. Insulite Laboratories wants
you to be healthy for life, not thin for one event in your life.
While you can expect to see and feel changes sooner, we recommend that you
commit to using the Insulite MetaX System for at least six months.
At this point, we ask that you contact us for a complimentary consultation with
our Consulting & Advisory Teams. We would like to evaluate your progress with you and
make recommendations for a course of action based on that evaluation. We cannot
and will not make claims that this System will produce an overnight
transformation. Rapid weight loss is unhealthy and non-permanent. We do
guarantee that, if you follow this program for six months, you will experience
weight loss, increased vitality and better health.
No, this is a system of elements that when followed
carefully will completely eliminate the need for "diets". This is not an Atkins
or Protein Power look-a-like plan. While protein is emphasized on this program,
carbohydrates are not excluded. The Insulite MetaX System includes
not only a Nutrition Plan but also Supplement and Exercise Plans, as well as a
Support Network. Our Nutrition Plan recommends a healthier balance of protein
and healthier carbohydrates (e.g. vegetables, fruits) than that which the
majority of Americans currently consume. The Nutrition Plan is carefully
designed to keep your blood sugar stable so that you are hungry only at
mealtimes, you are satisfied easily and your energy stays constant throughout
the day.
Additionally, the specialized supplement program "instructs" or "reminds" your
insulin and glucose how to work together again for the prevention of weight
gain.
Another reason that you are likely to succeed with the Insulite MetaX System is the emphasis we place on Support. Studies show that support
is vital to any lifestyle transition. The goal of the Insulite Support Network
is to keep you motivated through weekly messages with advice on nutrition,
healthy recipes, exercise and research on Insulin Resistance and its related
conditions such as Metabolic Syndrome (Syndrome X), Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome
(PCOS) Pre-Diabetes, Type 2 Diabetes and Cardiovascular Disease. Insulite
participants also receive a monthly newsletter and can obtain feedback on their
progress at any time by contacting us via email or by calling 1 888 9 TO HEAL.
We are advocates of getting your nutrients from food
rather than snack bars and processed food. However, if you feel that you must
eat protein bars, we recommend eating a high-protein bar like Balance Bar that
is designed to have a ratio of at least 30% protein to 40% carbohydrates. High
protein foods like nuts, cottage cheese and lean meats are also good suggestions
when you are on the go.
Yes. Stress increases the circulating levels of cortisol.
As with adrenalin, cortisol causes the release of glucose from your liver.
Therefore, stress increases blood levels of glucose and consequently causes an
increase in insulin secretion from your pancreas, which further contributes to
your Insulin Resistance. Cortisol also causes an increase in fat storage around
your abdomen and thighs.
The Insulite MetaX System recommends a more
realistic and healthy nutrition program and emphasizes a reasonable
approach to exercise.
Once the user masters both of these concepts, the likelihood of gaining weight
in the future is minimal. The nutrients in our Supplement Plan increase the way
your body uses insulin and reduces the cardiovascular effects of having too much
insulin. The Atkins diet merely suggests severe carb restriction without
emphasizing the importance of healthy nutrients to reverse the condition of
Insulin Resistance. The Insulite MetaX System's goal is to increase
the number of insulin receptor sites on the cell surface. Because of the
therapeutic dose of nutrients delivered in the System, there is reversal of
Insulin Resistance, resulting in more permanent success with weight loss.
We are advocates of healthy eating, not just avoiding one major food group for
fast weight loss. We emphasize increasing green vegetables and "good fats" in
your diet because both promote weight loss. Additionally, the specialized
Supplement Plan "instructs" or "reminds" your insulin and glucose how to work
together again for the prevention of weight gain.
Another reason that you are likely to succeed with the Insulite MetaX System is the emphasis we place on Support. Studies show that support
is vital to any lifestyle transition. A key objective of the System is to keep
you motivated through weekly messages with advice on nutrition, healthy recipes,
exercise and research on Metabolic Syndrome (Syndrome X), Insulin Resistance and
related conditions such as Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) , Cardiovascular
Disease, Pre-Diabetes and Type 2 Diabetes. Insulite System participants also
receive a monthly newsletter and can obtain feedback on their progress at any
time by contacting us via email or by calling 1 888 9 TO HEAL.

The Insulite MetaX System has been designed
to work together as an integrated program and is not divided into individual
components. Combined, the products reverse Insulin Resistance, a root cause of
Metabolic Syndrome.
"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."

"In less than 3 weeks I've started losing
weight again after being
"stuck" on Weight Watchers for about a year. I've lost about 4
lbs since
starting Insulite but more significantly my blood pressure is
well within normal limits now and I can tell my metabolism is
better. I am not getting that slump between meals and am able to control
between-meal snacking, and I have a lot of energy throughout the day rather
than periods where I need to nap. I just ordered the 6 months
supply. Thank you!"

"Researchers agree that insulin
resistance is central to the metabolic syndrome. When target
cells are unresponsive to insulin, the pancreas responds by
pouring even more insulin into the bloodstream, leading to high
levels of the hormone in the blood, a condition called
compensatory hyperinsulinemia. The high level of insulin in the
blood forces glucose into cells but also starts the events
leading to arterial damage and eventually a heart attack. Under
these conditions, a person may not manifest either diabetes or
