Surprising Depression Risk Factor EXPOSED!

The connection no one saw coming

Depression is a major problem that doesn’t discriminate by gender — or even by age. 

You’d be shocked by how many people deal with this mental health problem (1 in 6 adults). 

You’d be equally shocked by how ineffective antidepressant drugs can be. 

The solution here isn’t to develop a more effective drug… it’s to get to the root cause of what’s causing the depression to begin with. 

Only then can you experience true healing. 

In a recent study, researchers identified a shocking new risk factor for depression. 

Depression can take a significant toll on your quality of life.  

So can type 2 diabetes. 

And as it turns out, both of these conditions share a common risk factor: 

Insulin resistance. 

High blood sugar levels cause your pancreas to secrete large amounts of insulin, which helps your body’s cells absorb the sugar for fuel. 

Over time, your body stops responding to insulin the way it should, which causes the pancreas to pump out even more insulin to compensate. 

Eventually, the pancreas can’t keep up, blood sugar levels rise, and you’ll be on the fast track to type 2 diabetes — and depression. 

Researchers studied 600 people with no history of depression or anxiety.  

They found that the people who developed pre-diabetes at the two-year mark were more than TWO TIMES as likely to experience depression at the nine-year mark, compared to people with normal blood glucose levels. 

You know that high blood sugar levels can wreak havoc on your body, but this study showed that the damage can extend to your mind as well. 

Don’t take chances with your blood sugar levels. If you have insulin resistance or prediabetes, the time to get it under control is right now.
