A fasting insulin level below 3 micro IU/mL is ideal, below 5 micro IU/mL is acceptable, and above 5 is unacceptable.

“I've got to believe fasting insulin would have been >8uIU/ml and would have pointed to something being "off."”

“I would also use fasting insulin <5 as a cutoff for metabolic health rather than 10.”

“What is his fasting insulin (should be <5uiU/ml)?”

“my fasting insulin is always under three people i've worked with i always see fasting insulin are three unless they're metabolically unwell that is really the cutoff ideal is less than three less than five is okay but this is a test that should be done all of the time and we should re-calibrate the numbers a fasting insulin above five really maybe six but above five is unacceptable for humans and is indicative of a problem”

“what to do if your fasting insulin is above 5 micro iu per ml first steps eliminate seed oils that is the next thing i will talk about here in a moment to highlight the podcast with chris kenobi uh i always joke about this i just can't say his name without referencing star wars i'm sorry guys i apologize he's never seen the star wars trilogy the original ones the only good ones and you should eliminate those seed oils something i talked about with chris kenobi and tucker goodrich this year i will again highlight that in a moment and you should eliminate processed sugars”

“know how to check your metabolic health something like a fasting insulin less than 5 micro iu per ml you can get this from your doctor any doctor should do that test”

“i believe you want your fasting insulin less than 5 micro iu per ml”

“would you want to see as like a healthy fasting insulin less than 5 micro iu per ml”

“I would aim for a fasting insulin of less than five micro IU per ML”
