What this video covers
[MUSIC PLAYING] Welcome to Life Time Talks in our series on performance and longevity with MIORA. Today’s topic is breaking insulin resistance– your guide to blood sugar mastery. I’m Jamie Martin, I’m back with Life Times’s Chief Science Officer, Jim LaValle. We’re talking about blood sugar control and all of the different pieces that can indicate that we have some insulin resistance.

Key points, in the speaker’s own framing
- It’s something that often gets tested at the doctor and when we’re working with a health care provider.
- So insulin resistance is a big problem because as you get insulin resistant, you trigger more metabolic inflammation or inflammatory signaling.
- So if you know your blood sugar, for every point over 84 of a fasting glucose, and this is based on a Kaiser Permanente study of almost 47,000 lives over 10 years, it’s a 6% risk of being a person with diabetes in the next decade.
- And then a Japanese study just came out in 2022 that showed for every percentage point over a 90 fasting glucose, you have a 9% risk of being a person with diabetes in the next decade.
- How often should– if somebody is working with a health care provider, get their A1c, get their blood sugar levels tested?
- Like, I’m in good health and I want to stay in good health.
