ββπProtip: Insulin resistance
We sure have ever heard someone say that "insulin resistance is bad" which is true and that also "a low fasting glucose is a possible indicator of your sports performance and health" which is also true, of In fact, I always recommend that my clients send me their fasting glucose measurements.
π¨πΌβπ¬Insulin
βIs a polypeptide hormone formed by 51 amino acids π§¬, produced and secreted by the beta cells of the islets of Langerhans of the pancreas, its main functions, as we well know, are related to glucose and carbohydrates apart from that if it is used in a proper way it can be a very interesting tool in any bodybuilder's pharmacological arsenal βͺοΈ.
βOn average, a healthy adult human has about 90mg / dL of glucose in an 8-hour fasting state; the level of normality ranges from 70 to 110mg / dL, qualifying any measurement between 110 and 125mg / dL as pre-diabetes and from 126mg / dL onwards, as diabetes.
βInsulin resistance
βIt is understood as such the phenomenon in which when insulin binds to its receptor on the surface of the cell membrane, the intensity with which the intracellular signaling cascades are produced are weaker, therefore, there is not as much displacement of GLUT receptors per unit of insulin, therefore insulin resistance is nothing more than a cellular defense mechanism π‘ against excessive caloric intake, since by preventing glucose from entering the cell, it increases the oxidation of fatty acids , reducing lipotoxicity due to the accumulation of lipids and thus the cell death β οΈ induced by the excessive accumulation of lipids (lipoapoptosis).
πProtocol: mechanisms that improve insulin sensitivity
π§πΌObese men:
βοΈFucoxanthin: 15mg daily divided into 3 daily intakes.
βοΈBerberine / Metformin: 1000-1500mg daily divided into 2-3 daily intakes, I recommend the use of berberine to avoid unpleasant side effects.
βοΈTaurine: 4-6gr daily divided into 2-3 daily intakes
βοΈChromium: 200mcg daily
π©πΌWomen with polycystic ovary syndrome:
βοΈFucoxanthin: 15mg daily divided into 3 daily intakes.
βοΈBerberine / Metformin: 1000-1500mg daily divided into 2-3 daily intakes, I recommend the use of berberine to avoid unpleasant side effects.
βοΈTaurine: 4-6gr daily divided into 2-3 daily intakes
βοΈChromium: 200mcg daily
Given that women tend to suffer from polycystic ovary syndrome and that one of the effects they have at the systemic level is that of insulin resistance apart from problems with cortisol, specific studies have been carried out on this and it has also been seen that the following supplementation will be effective:
βοΈInositol: 4gr daily in a single dose.
βοΈMen and women with normal weight and insulin resistant:
βοΈBerberine: 900-1500mg daily divided into 2-3 daily intakes.
βοΈChlorogenic acid: 600-900mg daily divided into 3 daily intakes.
βοΈTaurine: 4-6gr daily divided into 2-3 daily intakes.
βοΈBlueberries: 200g total or 50g of blueberry extract.

βπ»Beyond βNo pain, No gain!β: Understanding pain in bodybuilding
Welcome to the world of bodybuilding, where the motto βno pain, no gainβ has been around for decades. Weβve all heard it before, but what does it really mean? Is it always true? And what about pain? How do we differentiate between good and bad pain?
Over the course of this article, weβll delve beyond the popular mantra of βno pain, no gainβ and discuss the importance of understanding pain in bodybuilding. Throughout my career, Iβve witnessed the detrimental effects of overworking and ignoring pain in bodybuilding. Therefore, I would like to explore the different types of pain, how to differentiate between good and bad pain, and ways to prevent injury and promote recovery.
