Studies show you can be 50 and have the physiology of a 30-year-old (and vice versa), depending on how well you take care of yourself.

Whether you have a little extra weight around the middle, insulin resistance or type 2 diabetes, the root cause of ALL these conditions are the same - problems with our diet, lifestyle and exposure to environmental toxins.
