Can insulin cause weight gain? 

Insulin is a hormone produced in the pancreas and plays an important role in controlling appetite, weight, fat storage and cholesterol, inflammatory processes and other functions. When this hormone is out of whack, more sugar is concentrated in the blood and stored in the tissues, which will lead to fat accumulation if it isn't used up.

In this workshop, Dr. Teresa Branco, Physiologist in Weight Management, and Dr. Sinthia Puttini, Specialist in Hormonal Medicine and Anti Aging, will explain to you the factors that decompensate insulin, what insulin resistance is and the most suitable diet to manage your weight and your health.

The online workshop lasts 1 hour, is completely free and all you have to do to register is fill in the registration form below. The event will be held via the Microsoft Teams platform and you will receive all the instructions after registering.
