Why is it so hard to lose weight and reverse chronic disease? It isn’t so simple. Nowadays, we are faced with multiple obstacles that cause unexplained weight gain and chronic health issues.
Insulin Resistance as the Root Cause
Insulin resistance is a medical condition in which the body’s cells become less responsive to the effects of insulin. Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that plays a crucial role in regulating blood sugar (glucose) levels and facilitating the uptake of glucose into cells for energy or storage.
Insulin resistance disrupts this normal process and can lead to various health issues.
When the body becomes insulin resistant, the cells, particularly muscle, liver, and fat cells, do not respond as effectively to the insulin signal. As a result, they don’t take up glucose from the bloodstream as efficiently as they should.
To compensate for this resistance, the pancreas produces more insulin in an attempt to lower blood sugar levels. This increased production of insulin is known as hyperinsulinemia.
Insulin resistance manifests in a myriad of diseases; all of them stem from the root problem of insulin resistance.
- Insulin Resistance at the Liver becomes Type 2 Diabetes.
- Insulin Resistance at the Heart becomes Heart Disease.
- Insulin Resistance at the Ovaries becomes PCOS.
- Insulin Resistance in the Brain becomes Alzheimer’s.
Insulin is the Fat Storing Hormone
Insulin is often referred to as a “fat storing hormone” because one of its key roles is to regulate how the body stores and uses energy, including glucose (sugar) and fat.
When insulin is released in response to elevated blood sugar levels, it helps facilitate the uptake of glucose from the bloodstream into cells where it can be used for energy or stored for later use. However, this process also has implications for fat storage:
- Glucose Uptake and Storage: When you consume carbohydrates, they are broken down into glucose, which enters the bloodstream. Insulin enables cells, particularly muscle and liver cells, to take up glucose for energy. If the cells’ energy needs are met and glucose storage is sufficient, excess glucose can be converted into fat and stored in adipose (fat) tissue.
- Inhibition of Fat Breakdown: Insulin’s presence in the bloodstream has an inhibitory effect on the breakdown of fat stored in adipose tissue. When insulin levels are high, fat cells are less likely to release stored fatty acids for use as energy.
- Promotion of Fat Storage: Insulin encourages the conversion of excess glucose into triglycerides, which are a form of fat. These triglycerides are then stored in fat cells, contributing to overall fat storage.
- Regulation of Lipolysis: Lipolysis is the process of breaking down stored fat into fatty acids. Insulin can suppress lipolysis, reducing the availability of fatty acids for energy production.
Hidden Causes of Insulin Resistance
The story doesn’t stop there. With the introduction of processed foods, higher levels of toxicity and radiation exposure, and exposure to Spike Protein, insulin resistance has worsened and unexplained weight gain and chronic health issues have skyrocketed.
Processed Foods
Before 1980, processed foods didn’t account for much of the American diet; fatty liver and type 2 diabetes didn’t exist in children. Today, 67 percent of children’s diets and 62% of adults’ diets consist of processed foods. 25% of children have non-alcoholic fatty liver as do 45% of adults.
Processed foods have exponentially increased insulin resistance in a few different ways:
- Fructose. Most processed foods are filled with added fructose, which is metabolized differently than glucose; it is metabolized in the liver and directly converted into liver fat instead of being used efficiently as energy. Moreover, it lowers ATP, which is the energy component in the mitochondria. Because of these mechanisms, insulin resistance increases exponentially faster than when just exposed to glucose and whole food.
- No Fiber. Fiber is nature’s way of slowing the rise in blood sugar and insulin; processed foods have extracted all of the fiber out of the food and the impact of the high fructose load is overwhelming to the liver and the pancreas, causing insulin resistance to skyrocket.
- Seed Oils. Seed oils are pro-inflammatory oils in processed foods that actually worsen insulin resistance; these oils include canola oil, corn oil, soybean oil, rice bran oil, safflower oil, sunflower oil, grape seed oil, and peanut oil.
- Artificial Sweeteners. These sweeteners may not have calories or real sugar, but they do induce sugar cravings because the body “tastes” something sweet and expects calories to follow. This leads to overeating foods that cause insulin resistance. Moreover, these sweeteners destroy the gut and back up the detoxification pathways in the liver.
- Hyper Palatable. Processed foods combine extremely hyper-palatable tastes of sugar, salt, and fat together, unlike anything found in nature. In fact, fat and carbs aren’t paired together in nature except for in dairy and nuts— two foods meant to “fatten” the animal. These extreme taste combinations blunt the normal taste buds and lead to overeating.
- Lacks Amino Acids. Most processed foods don’t contain the amino acids and healthy omega 3 fatty acids from protein that trigger the appetite suppressing hormone CCK, leading to overeating.
- Emulsifiers. Emulsifiers are put in processed foods to extend shelf life and bring together water and fat. However, these emulsifiers destroy the mucosal lining in the gut that measures incoming nutrients and is responsible for releasing CCK, the appetite suppressing hormone.
- Gluten and Other Grains. These “whole” grains have been marketed to make you think they are a healthy food. They not only cause leaky gut and inflammation, but they also steal nutrients out of your body. Their disruption continues because they’re laced with glyphosate and GMOs which exacerbate gut damage.
- Dopamine Disruption. Dopamine is your ‘motivation’ hormone that gives you the drive to do things in life! Processed foods disrupt this hormone, leading to increased sugar cravings and the propensity for sugar addiction. There are three distinct pathways in the brain reinforcing this addiction to sugar; most drugs or addictive behaviors work through one pathway. This is why sugar addiction is so difficult to overcome.
Not only is the “taste” of sweet causing a large release of dopamine when you eat sugar or artificial sweeteners, but it causes you to crave more of the food that received that response. Hidden sugars also trigger a response in the gut–away from the sweet taste in the mouth–to induce stronger cravings for that food. Lastly, anything that raises glucose in the blood has a dopamine response as a survival mechanism to store more food for future energy.
Radiation
The amount of radiation surrounding our everyday lives has increased exponentially in just the last few years.
From the 5G towers, smart meters, and smart devices to the release of radioactive water from Fukushima in August 2023, X-ray exposure and more, our bodies are under a new level of threat. Radiation is known to disrupt thyroid function, hormones, the nervous system, and DNA. Just with radiation exposure alone, blood sugar increases, and the body flips into “survival mode.” As a result, metabolic rate lowers, insulin resistance worsens, ATP production in the mitochondria is depressed, and the propensity to store body fat increases.
Increased Exposure to Toxins
The burden from toxins doesn’t just come from processed foods, GMO’s, and Glyphosate, but from the fluoride, bromide, and chlorine in the water and food supply, dioxins in conventionally raised beef and poultry, xeno-estrogens in cleaning supplies and from herbicides, pesticides, and insecticides in the environment.
The liver becomes overloaded and backed up, leading to hormone disruption, which causes the body to create new fat cells to encapsulate the toxins, worsening insulin resistance and inflammation.
Spike Protein Exposure
The spike protein is not only responsible for the virus infecting human cells, but it also inhibits the liver’s ability to do its job. As a result, people experience increased levels of triglycerides, cholesterol, lung issues, water retention, mood issues, insulin resistance, and unexplained weight gain.
Copper Depletion
Not only does fructose and processed food deplete copper in the body, but so does the spike protein. The combination of the two factors has created a serious copper deficiency in most people. Copper is needed to control uric acid levels, which are closely tied to insulin resistance. Copper helps with insulin resistance by:
- Blocking the Polyol Pathway which stops the conversion of glucose into sorbitol and fructose. Without copper, insulin resistance is more likely to occur.
- Controlling triglycerides and liver fat; liver fat leads to insulin resistance.
- Regulates iron in the blood; without it, oxidative stress increases and leads to higher insulin resistance.
Estrogen Dominance
Estrogen dominance occurs from the influx of the toxic xenoestrogens in our environment, diet, and water, and is worsened by the liver not being able to do its job.
The liver is responsible for producing the estrogen-binding protein. When the liver is overloaded with toxins, radiation, and processed foods, it can’t do this and the toxins build up. These toxins are “bad” estrogens which then create hormonal imbalances. Learn more about the symptoms of estrogen dominance.

Supplements in the Accelerated Fast Detox Cleanse
Acceleradine® Iodine
Iodine is not only known to be antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal, anti inflammatory, but it is also antihistamine, detoxifying and hydrating. Acceleradine® Iodine also provides the needed iodine for thyroid function; the thyroid hormones, T4 and T3, need 4 and 3 molecules of iodine respectively.
Furthermore, Acceleradine® Iodine is the only iodine supplement, as a single atom of iodine, to have 100 percent absorption in all 100 trillion cells of the body. As it supplies the needed iodine throughout the body, it also kicks out toxins like fluoride, bromide, chlorine and radiation from the cells. In other words, it detoxes the body at the cellular level while feeding it the required minerals for cellular energy.
In addition, iodine is necessary for a strong immune system, assimilating key minerals, and alleviating depression and other mood disorders.
Accelerated Colloidal Silver™
Colloidal silver has been known for thousands of years to devitalize foreign pathogens. People notice an improvement in their circulation, immune system and overall health.
Unlike any other colloidal silver on the market, Accelerated Colloidal Silver™ is enhanced with Scalar field technology and is embedded with specific health codes to enhance results.
Accelerated Fast®
Accelerated Fast® is the key to helping your body flip into fat burning, suppress your cravings, and make it easy to intermittent fast! Within 30 minutes your body will start burning fat stores for energy, increase ATP (cellular energy), and teach your body to look for fat stores instead of outside food for energy.
As the body is in the state of ketosis, it enters autophagy where the cells start recycling the “bad” parts and regenerating new and healthier cells; systemic inflammation comes down and overall improvement takes place.
Unlike any other keto supplement, Accelerated Fast® has multiple cofactor ingredients to help start breaking down the liver fat, cleansing the liver gently, improving detoxification, increasing metabolism, improving digestion, and improving mood.
Accelerated Fast® is uniquely programmed with Scalar frequencies.
You don’t need to eat a high fat diet with Accelerated Fast®; by pairing the supplement with intermittent fasting, the body enters the state of ketosis and “snacks” on its own fat stores for energy, and you follow it with a high wild animal protein diet to stay in the state of fat burning.
