In this segment, Dr. Anne Truong explains that a healthy endothelium acts as a barrier preventing blood-borne toxins from entering cells. When the endothelium becomes unhealthy, it becomes leaky, allowing toxic substances to infiltrate cells, which leads to cellular dysfunction and inflammation. She emphasizes that while many toxic substances can damage the endothelium, insulin resistance is the primary driver of this endothelial damage, linking metabolic health directly to inflammation and cell health.

The endothelium prevents it from being leaked out into the cell. So when the endothelium is not healthy, it starts to leak.

So that is what's called inflammation. And so The endothelium is affected by toxic substances, but it's mainly affected by, guess what, insulin resistance.
