The Insulite System
|
Elements I – IV – NUTRACEUTICALS
These are the potent nutraceuticals (vitamins, herbs and minerals that are disease specific) of the Supplement Plan. Several scientifically-designed formulas are necessary to reverse insulin resistance and specific conditions. For more details about these nutraceuticals select one of the following;
Pre-Diabetes
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)
Excess Weight and Obesity
Metabolic Syndrome (Syndrome X)
ELEMENT V – NUTRITION
The step-by-step Insulite System Nutrition Plan does not count calories. Instead, it gradually directs your body to a healthy diet. In essence, it provides the solution to one of the primary causes of Insulin Resistance, too many carbohydrates. The Nutrition Plan also addresses the addictive quality of certain foods and advocates a high-protein, low-carbohydrate diet, with lots of green vegetables and fruits. We don’t have an “induction phase” where you’re deprived of all carbs and are just eating protein and fat. We ask that you lower your carbohydrate intake from where you are now and slowly persevere in reducing it each week, so it doesn’t feel like such a shock to your system.
ELEMENT VI – EXERCISE
The step-by-step Insulite Exercise Plan addresses an important element in achieving your desired weight. This is not a program designed to just “burn calories”. It is carefully planned to enhance your body’s ability to utilize glucose more effectively and to increase the number of insulin receptor sites on the cells’ surface. Structured for simplicity, the Exercise Plan promotes a measured progression over 9 weeks until it becomes a natural part of your lifestyle.
ELEMENT VII - ADDICTION AWARENESS
Weaning you off your addiction to carbohydrates and sugars, slowly enough to avoid withdrawal symptoms is the goal of the Insulite Addiction Awareness Plan. The brain circuits that are stimulated by eating high carb foods/sugars are the same circuits that are affected by drugs such as alcohol, cocaine and heroin. That is why dieting is so difficult and willpower is not enough to make a permanent lifestyle change. The Insulite System gradually balances these circuits so that, in time, exercise - which also stimulates dopamine, endorphin and serotonin circuits - will become your primary source of pleasure and contentment.
ELEMENT VIII - SUPPORT AND MOTIVATION
The Insulite System is based on research that proves any life-changing program is more effective when support is involved. This vital element was designed to create a cooperative, healing environment in which you can remain motivated while receiving regular information on key issues affecting your lifestyle transitions. Our monthly newsletter, “Viewpoints: Healing News from Insulite Laboratories”, featuring the latest research on Pre-Diabetes, Insulin Resistance, 
Metabolic Syndrome (Syndrome X), PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome), Cardiovascular Disease, excess weight gain and other related conditions, as well as medical advice and helpful lifestyle tips. The newsletter also offers guidance from Insulite Laboratories’ Medical Director Dr. Mary Shackelton, MPH ND . You’ll receive weekly email support messages on diet, nutrition, exercise, recipes and weight loss and have ongoing access to our Medical & Advisory team for all your questions and concerns. We recognize that encouragement and coaching are essential for meeting the challenges involved in changing your habits. We want to help you with every step of your healing journey.
