I agree that vitamin D is key. Because it’s a fat soluble vitamin manufactured at the skin surface being obese makes it impossible to maintain adequate concentrations in the blood where it’s needed. The adipose tissue literally absorbs the vitamin as fast as it is produced. Blood concentration measurements and massive supplement is the only solution, something most general practitioners don’t do. In some cases it’s a feedback loop; sunscreen, low vitamin D, cancer growth, UV damage, high blood glucose, cancer grows, more sunscreen etc.

Regarding insulin resistance, I use dietary choices and time regulated food consumption. Fruit and carbs are a rare dessert like treat. I love pasta, sometimes I’ll have it for a daily meal but I know that the next day I will be exceptionally hungry for 23 hours because the glucose has been utilized leaving an insulin gap in fat metabolism. I avoid hydrogenated, partially hydrogenated, and interesterified (the newest obfuscation BS from the food industry) fats, and seed oils, preferring saturated fats from natural sources like avocados, coconuts, dairy, and meat. I try to know my sources, produce meat myself when I can, buy organic even if it’s likely just marketing because the most effective voting is done with money. So far, my health seems to be holding out, and I have good wellness. I wish you good body wellness, it’s an effortful journey, but well worth the work put in to understand how our bodies function. 🫂
