Insulin Resistance is an often silent condition that affects millions of Americans.

As a factor that has previously been under-recognized by patients and physicians, Insulin Resistance is an important precursor to the epidemics of diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

Clinical research has proven that weight loss, dietary modifications and exercise each independently improve Insulin Resistance and slow the progression of Cardiovascular Diseases and Diabetes. Thus, our approach is to foster lifestyle change from this comprehensive perspective, allowing each person to maximize benefits to their overall health.

He is also certified in Occupational Medicine and Acupuncture for pain control. He received his M.D. at the University of Michigan and was previously Assistant Professor of Family Medicine at the University of California Medical School in San Francisco.

What I find compelling about the Insulite Systems is how comprehensive they are in dealing with what I believe will be shown to be a major cause of many degenerative diseases – the inappropriate build up of insulin in the blood. The many well researched ingredients in the supplements attack the problem of Insulin Resistance from a variety of biochemical pathways derived from many different, well accepted theories and clinical studies. In addition, the support for lifestyle changes and the follow-up that we offer is unlike any other product or system sold in the marketplace.

His interest in naturopathic modalities led him to attend Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine in Tempe, AZ where he graduated in 2006.

Insulin Resistance is a health condition that is silently stalking the American public. In most instances it is directly related to the over consumption of refined carbohydrates and lack of essential nutrients in the Standard American Diet (SAD).

There is much confusion in public perception due to erroneous food pyramids that are promoted by government agencies and independent societies that are, unfortunately, based on outdated science.

The purpose here is to help people with Insulin Resistance through diet, lifestyle and nutritional intervention, with education being the key to success.

Insulin resistance is the most insidious factor affecting our health and well-being today. Reversing this condition requires an integrative approach that encourages proper nutrition, increased physical activity, and provides necessary information and emotional support.

Remember what you do to maintain good health when you leave the doctor's office is just as important as anything the doctor can do. In fact, you are the most important part of the process of staying well.


Providing professional guidance and support to individuals with insulin-related disorders is the Outreach Team of Insulite Laboratories' Medical and Advisory Board:

Dr. Cohen lends her expertise in drug-nutrient-herb interactions, carbohydrate addiction and the pathophysiology of Insulin Resistance to Insulite Laboratories in addition to providing professional guidance to individuals with insulin-related disorders. She has developed the company's 52-week Protocol for customers on the Insulite Systems and has co-written The Insulite Guide to Reversing Insulin Resistance and its Related Conditions which is available exclusively to Insulite customers. A graduate of the Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine, from which she finished second in her class, Dr. Cohen is a clinical practitioner in New Hampshire where she sponsors a PCOS support group. She is the author of the prize-winning article "Melatonin, Menstruation and the Moon" published in The Townsend Letter for Doctors and Patients.

I am committed to reversing the growing trend of Insulin Resistance that we see especially in the developed world. Insulin Resistance leads to many serious chronic conditions and is usually readily healed with lifestyle changes and nutritional supplementation. This is truly a modifiable health risk that healthcare practitioners have an obligation to address.

Dr. Kellum specializes in nutritional, homeopathic and botanical medicines and, as a member of the Insulite Medical & Advisory Board, she counsels individuals through the company's outreach program that is available to customers and non-customers alike. She is an honors graduate of the Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine where she contributed to a literature review by the Diabetes Research Group on the modes and efficacy of naturopathic treatments for Type 2 Diabetes. A primary care practitioner, Dr. Kellum is a contributing author of the Board Review Study Materials for Naturopathic Physicians Licensing Examination.

I look for the root cause of an illness or imbalance in a patient. With an increasing number of people being diagnosed with Metabolic Syndrome and Diabetes Mellitus, it is not surprising to see, at the same time, an increasing number of women being diagnosed with PCOS. All of these conditions have a common root cause, Insulin Resistance.

Dr. DeLuca received her Naturopathic Degree and B.S. in Nutrition from Bastyr University in Washington state. Her particular interests include research in the fields of nutrition, diet and nutrient therapies. She coaches Insulite Laboratories' customers on their insulin-related conditions through the company's comprehensive outreach program. At her practice in Kingston, Pennsylvania, Dr. DeLuca specializes in counseling as well as nutritional, botanical, orthomolecular and physical medicines.

One of the goals of Naturopathic Medicine is to find the cause of illness. With the rise of obesity, Type 2 Diabetes and Metabolic Syndrome, along with their many complications, research is revealing one of the main causes to be Insulin Resistance. Although important, it is not enough to just treat the symptoms. You have to treat the cause, too. A balanced, nutritious diet plan and a program of regular exercise are proving to be crucial to help reverse these diseases and allow people to regain control of their health.

I am very excited to be a part of a team that is making a difference in people's lives by taking a lead role in preventing and reversing Insulin Resistance.

Dr. Lee provides guidance and coaching to individuals who contact the Insulite Support Network, including those using the various Insulite Systems. She undertakes research and writes articles for the company's PCOS Support Blog and has launched a web-based advice column "Ask Dr. Andrea". A Naturopathic physician, Dr. Lee is the owner of Norman Natural Health in the Oklahoma City metropolitan area. Prior to attending Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine, Dr. Lee worked as a senior research study associate and volunteered with a breast cancer support group in Oklahoma City, OK. Her Bachelor's degree is from the University of Alaska where she studied Psychology and Exercise Science.

Insulin Resistance is a silent condition that can wreak havoc on the body for years before it is diagnosed. Many people are very surprised to learn that they either already have insulin resistance or are on their way to developing it and the long term consequences for the unchecked condition can be physically and emotionally devastating.

Treating the cause means making daily choices that are consistent with the goal of enhancing your health. Making these healthy choices a part of your daily lifestyle will go a long way towards maintaining good health, hormonal balance, full function, and freedom from disease for years to come.

Dr. Krause has extensive experience in Integrative medicine, having worked in several multidisciplinary clinics. Currently, she is a member of the alternative medicine department of the Pascua Yaqui tribe in Tucson, AZ where she uses herbs, nutrition, homeopathy, IV nutrients and lifestyle counseling to facilitate healing, as well as managing and prescribing pharmaceutical drugs. Dr Krause is very interested in the topic of Insulin Resistance which is what drew her to Insulite Laboratories as a member of the company's Medical & Advisory team. She is a graduate of the Southwest School of Naturopathic Medicine, attended massage school at Seattle Massage School, and earned her B.A. in English Literature from the University of Colorado at Denver.

Insulin Resistance is an underlying cause of many of the chronic illnesses that we see overloading our medical offices today. Up to 25% of the American population is highly prone to Insulin Resistance, and another 40% is moderately prone to it. Some of the chronic conditions that are associated with Insulin Resistance include PCOS, Metabolic Syndrome, obesity, high triglycerides and low HDL, and even some forms of cancer.

Amazingly, this condition that is wreaking havoc on so many lives can be reversed, as long as one is willing to have healthy eating habits with an emphasis on avoiding processed foods, and adequate exercise. As a bonus, nutritional supplements can help augment the good effects of lifestyle changes and help them take root more quickly.

Insulite Laboratories offers the framework for individuals to take control of their health by helping them to deal with Insulin Resistance, and keeping that control for a lifetime. I'm glad to be part of their team.

After earning her Psychology degree at the University of Arizona in Tucson, she worked extensively with the National AIDS Fund Americorps where she helped to sponsor a health fair in a women's prison.

Insulin Resistance is an underlying factor in many illnesses and leads to a multitude of chronic conditions. A systematic approach incorporating nutritional supplementation, a healthy diet and daily exercise are crucial components in the prevention and treatment of this issue, and will help circumvent developing the diseases that are caused by it.


Consulting Members:

Dr. Weiss has counseled hundreds of individuals with conditions as diverse as obesity, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, CFS, ADD, Multiple Sclerosis, liver disease, cancer and diabetes.

Dr. Weiss received his M.B.A. from Temple University and his Ph.D. from Clayton College.

As a doctor of naturopathic medicine I can attest to the fact that there is no longer a clear line between being diabetic and non-diabetic. According to Ward Dean, M.D., Medical Director of Inner Age and Director for Vitamin Research Products, and one of the most prominent anti-aging physicians in the world today, we are all diabetic. Some of us are just more diabetic than others.

The regime championed by Insulite Laboratories is not for 'the other guy.' No one can ignore a crisis that will affect almost every living adult in their lives. Insulite is bringing that message to the forefront and has developed a protocol that can be fine-turned and truly works for everyone! The results are undeniable.

Kevin Shepard brings years of education, experience and three World Power Lifting records to the Medical & Advisory Board of Insulite Laboratories. He is currently developing an exercise protocol specific to various diseases, such as Diabetes, which is an extension of his Masters research project: Resistance exercise influences mechanisms of natural immunity: natural killer cell cytotoxic activity and neutrophile functional cascade. A fitness consultant, he also teaches human anatomy and physiology at the college level. In addition to his power lifting championships, he won the Mr. Colorado Masters bodybuilding competitions in 2000 and 2003.

My belief is that exercise and other lifestyle modifications are central to reversing Insulin Resistance and other serious chronic diseases.

I am committed to identifying specific exercise regimens that will have a direct effect on healing these conditions.

"I started taking Insulite PCOS system in early November 2005 after hearing about you through the internet and by the end of December I was pregnant. I am just thrilled that I have been so lucky and don’t know what I would have done if I hadn't discovered Insulite and I want to thank you all very much for helping me achieve my wish."

PCOS a Leading Cause of Infertility
"I have been on the Insulite PCOS system for a little over 3 months now and it is truly a miracle. I feel energized, healthy, and most importantly: normal. A couple of months ago I decided to go off the birth control pill just to see if I could get a period on my own. I'm on my 2nd consecutive menstrual cycle which hasn't happened since I was a teenager or without the help of birth control pills. I'm currently 30 years old and am having periods on my own, Amazing! I never thought this would happen. Especially since both my daughters were conceived with the help of Glucophage and Clomid.

Thank you to all of those who have taken the time and energy to put together a system that can help people feel normal and enjoy life the way you should. Not to mention all the ingredients in the Insulite PCOS System are healthy and can be taken without having any negative side effects. I'm forever in debt!"

"In three weeks I have lost 3 pounds, my sugar level has dropped about 10 points on average, my face has cleared up dramatically, and I feel a lot better overall.

"I have told everyone I know about your product and I have been a walking billboard this week! I have had several compliments on my new found appearance...color in my checks, very little acne and my face looks great and even with just 3 pounds gone people are asking me if I have lost weight !

"I think that every woman that even thinks she may have PCOS needs to know about your products. Especially the women who have been told that they cannot have children because of infertility from PCOS. Every woman should have the joy of having a child and with PCOS that is a very rare occasion.

"I believe in your product and I would like to get it out there so women will have a choice."

"Your internet site has been so educational and made me realize that I'm not going mad and there is a way to control this PCOS.

Although I have never met any of your staff I feel that I get more positive response from you all than my doctors for the last five years.

I'm just so grateful for your organization. You have given me so much hope and something to look forward to. I feel as if I'm dealing with professionals who care about what happens to their patient."

As women it's vital for us to look good and feel good. It's part of our make up; it's what makes us thrive. This is not about being vain - this is about well being and confidence."

"For obese PCOS women weight loss of more than 5% of pretreatment weight restores menstrual regularity in 89%, of whom 30% achieved spontaneous pregnancy."
Saleh AM, Khalil HS. Review of non-surgical and surgical treatment and the role of insulin-sensitizing agents in the management of infertile women with polycystic ovarian syndrome. Acta Obstet Gynecol Scand. 2004 Jul;83(7):614-621.
"I just recently started the program and can already tell a difference. The acne I've been plagued with since my early teens is almost completely gone and my facial hair hasn't grown out at all this week. On top of all that, I have also made changes in my diet and exercise and have lost 10 lbs. already!"

"Until I found your web site, I never realized that there were alternatives to surgery or that Insulin Resistance was the cause of PCOS. Everything finally made sense to me."

"First of all, I am thankful to INSULITE LABS research for such a wonderful recovery plan for patients with PCOS. I have been on the supplements for less than 10 days and I already notice some physical changes -- including reduced acne and body weight.

"It is true that every woman with PCOS needs to know about your products and I am glad that it is not just a product marketing strategy but designed to help patients truly feel better and recover.

"Please convey my sincere thanks to Dr. Mary Shackelton, Medical Director, for her vision."

"I would like to tell you how happy I am with the results I have seen in myself for the past three months since I started the Insulite System.

"I am starting my fourth month and have now lost 23 lbs. and 3-5 inches. Plus, for the first time in my life I have had my period for two consecutive months and they didn’t last as long as usual. Of course, my acne and facial hair have lessened also."
