Every week, patients walk into our clinic feeling frustrated, confused, or scared about their rising blood sugar. Maybe they were told they’re “pre-diabetic.” Maybe their doctor said their labs are “a little high.” Maybe they were warned that medication is the only way forward.


Here’s the truth: type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance are lifestyle-driven conditions — and lifestyle is also the most powerful path to healing.Your body isn’t broken. It’s designed to heal when you remove interference and give it the right inputs.

This month’s Diabetes Awareness Masterclass, featuring Dr. Leif Mårtensson and Dr. Annette Booth Mårtensson, highlighted a crucial message: blood sugar imbalance isn’t a life sentence — but a metabolic alarm asking for change.


Understanding the Silent Burn: Metabolic Syndrome

Many people don’t realize how slowly metabolic disease develops. It’s like a frog in warm water — you don’t notice the rising temperature until it boils over.

Metabolic syndrome includes:

  • Elevated blood sugar

  • Belly fat / central obesity

  • High triglycerides

  • Low HDL

  • High blood pressure


Individually, these seem small. Together, they create a dangerous blueprint for:

❌ Heart disease

❌ Stroke

❌ Chronic inflammation

❌ Type 2 diabetes


The most alarming part? Most people don’t feel anything until major damage has occurred.But the moment you begin shifting your lifestyle, the body responds with incredible speed — stabilizing blood sugar, lowering inflammation, restoring energy, and clearing mental fog.


This isn’t magic—it’s physiology working the way God designed it to.


A Real-Life Transformation: Dr. Annette’s Breakthrough

Dr. Annette’s story embodies everything we teach at Elevation Health.

Just one year ago, her labs showed:

  • High triglycerides

  • Elevated A1C

  • A serious heart condition

  • A prescription costing $2,300 per month


Instead of accepting the diagnosis, she chose responsibility, awareness, and action.

Her tool of transformation?👉 A continuous glucose monitor (CGM) — a small sensor showing real-time blood sugar responses.


She discovered exactly how her body reacted to:

🍕 Pizza → huge glucose spikes

🥗 Salmon + greens → steady, healthy levels

💥 Overtraining while stressed → elevated sugars


Through clean eating, strategic fasting, and eliminating refined sugar, she:

  • Lost 60 lbs

  • Reversed insulin resistance

  • Normalized her blood sugar

  • Came off heart medication

Not a miracle — a biological reset made possible by lifestyle change.


Insulin Resistance: The Hidden Root

Insulin resistance, not blood sugar, is the real cause of type 2 diabetes.

Here’s how it happens:

  1. You eat sugar or starch → glucose rises

  2. Insulin is released to move sugar into cells

  3. Over time, constant sugar intake = constant insulin

  4. Cells stop responding → insulin resistance

  5. Sugar stays in the blood → damage + fatigue

  6. High insulin signals the body to store fat


This is why many people say:“I’m eating healthy, but I can’t lose weight.”The issue isn’t calories — it’s metabolic signaling.


But insulin resistance can be reversed through three core steps:

✔ Remove refined sugar + processed carbs

✔ Add whole foods: proteins, healthy fats, greens

✔ Practice fasting to reset hormonal balance


The Power of Testing & Awareness

One of the masterclass’s biggest lessons:You can’t change what you don’t measure.

When Dr. Leif tested his fasting glucose, he thought he was doing well — but it showed 108. “Slightly high.”After using a CGM for one week and improving his habits, his fasting glucose dropped from 108 → 82.

That’s how quickly your body responds when you stop spiking insulin.


At Elevation Health, we offer comprehensive metabolic testing including:

  • Fasting glucose

  • A1C

  • Insulin

  • Triglycerides

  • HDL

  • Cortisol

  • Thyroid patterns


This gives you a complete map of your metabolic health — not just a snapshot.


Nutrition + Chiropractic = Metabolic Metabolism Reset

Spinal health plays a major role in metabolic function.Misalignments (subluxations) create nervous system stress, inflammation, and hormonal disruption — all of which worsen insulin resistance.

Research shows chiropractic adjustments may help:

  • Improve insulin sensitivity

  • Support nervous system regulation

  • Reduce inflammatory markers

  • Enhance overall metabolic function

(Teodorczyk-Injeyan et al., JMPT)

Pairing chiropractic with nutrition accelerates results.
