Roles for Insulin Resistance Educators

Having certified as the “Insulin Resistance Educator” opens new avenues for the candidates. Here is a list of few roles that you may want to explore after certifying as “Insulin Resistance Educator”:

  • Diabetes Management Clinics: Insulin resistance naturally progresses to type 2 diabetes if not treated on time. It is, therefore, important to manage insulin resistance to prevent progression of disease. Here, your expertise may benefit the patients.
  • Geriatric Care Centers: Elderly population may be more at a risk of insulin resistance. Also, beta cell function tends to decline with age. Therefore, meaningful lifestyle changes improve quality of life.
  • Weight Loss Coaching Centers: Insulin resistance is associated with weight gain and increased body fat percentage. Managing insulin resistance may help a person stay with a healthy body weight.
  • Women’s Clinic: Health conditions like PCOD in women have a component of insulin resistance. Successful management of insulin resistance in such people may result in better prognosis.

It has been demonstrated beyond a reasonable doubt that practicing stress management techniques regularly leads to improvements in one’s health. In the methods that are used to manage stress, drugs are never used. The most important benefit of stress management programs is that they provide participants a feeling of control and empowerment, which in turn increases their sense of self-worth, reduces their likelihood of developing depression, and generally enhances their quality of life.

Having a sense of humor, being able to take on challenges, and being open to accepting change are all essential components in the process of overcoming stress. By practicing relaxation techniques such as massage , yoga, meditation, and deep breathing, you may be able to more effectively control your mood and state of mind.
