Dr Steven Lin podcast

3 main drivers of insulin resistance...
chronic
-elevated insulin
-inflammation
-stress [cortisol & epinephrine]
shown in research in
-isolated cells; rodents; humans
CORTISOL & EPINEPHRINE directly
cause insulin resistance
both want to push glucose UP

Cortisol will strip protein from muscles & bones
in order to turn it into glucose
in liver
-at odds with insulin
[driving glucose down]
WAR between stress hormones & insulin
In clinic: if one given cortisol-like steroid
to control inflammation: will become
very insulin resistant very quickly

Question: acute stress? affect on insulin resistance...
-rapidly onset and rapidly gone
Sleep deprivation causes stress
-brings on insulin resistance, but
-one good night sleep relieves it
