Cutting Carbs but Still Insulin Resistant? Look Here

In this video, Marcelle Pick challenges the common advice that insulin resistance in women can be fixed simply by cutting carbs. She argues that for most women the underlying problem begins with impaired liver function, specifically backed‑up detox pathways caused by chronic stress, hormonal fluctuations, medications, alcohol, or overall system overload. The liver regulates blood sugar by storing, releasing, and clearing hormones, and when its detox processes are compromised it struggles to manage glucose even before any dietary carbs are consumed. Consequently, women may follow low‑carb diets for months without improvement in insulin metrics because they are treating a symptom rather than the root cause. Marcelle emphasizes the need to assess liver health directly rather than focusing solely on dietary changes.
