Insulin resistance is a global pandemic that threatens public health. This metabolic abnormality is
rapidly becoming a leading cause of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and numerous other
metabolic disorders. The economic consequences are staggering: healthcare systems worldwide are
struggling to manage diet-induced metabolic diseases driven by insulin resistance, placing a significant
financial burden on both developed and developing countries. Recent research into natural compounds
and nutraceuticals for insulin resistance offers hope for innovative alternatives to conventional drug
therapies. These natural interventions have been shown to improve insulin sensitivity, glycemic control,
and overall metabolic balance through diverse, multivariate mechanisms. This may help explain the
growing popularity of natural approaches, especially amid the current trend of consumers seeking
holistic, whole-body solutions and the urgent demand for affordable, sustainable treatments for
metabolic disorders.
