About InsulinResistance.org

An independent, evidence-first education project on insulin resistance and metabolic health.

What this site is

InsulinResistance.org publishes plain-language guides on insulin resistance and metabolic health, plus editorial reviews of the peer-reviewed research literature. Every research page passes seven internal editorial checks (our editorial policy) plus credentialed medical review before publication.

We are not a medical provider, and nothing on this site is medical advice. Talk to a qualified clinician about your own health before making changes to medications, supplements, or your diet.

Who is behind the site

InsulinResistance.org is a project of Pacific Shores Research Group, an independent research and publishing group. Our content is written by credentialed medical writers and reviewed by a board-certified physician.

Meet the people behind the content — writers who researched and drafted our guides, and the medical reviewer who checks every research page against the primary literature before it is published.

For the full physician-reviewer profile with credentials, disclosures, and background, see the medical review board. Writer bios and areas of focus are on the authors page.

Independence and funding

We take no funding from pharmaceutical, device, or supplement manufacturers. We do not run advertising, sponsored content, or affiliate placements. Our sister project,PolicyLab, publishes clinical trial listings and paid research participation opportunities in metabolic and chronic disease research.

Our relationship to the Journal of Insulin Resistance

This domain, insulinresistance.org, was previously the home of theJournal of Insulin Resistance (JIR), a peer-reviewed open-access journal. The journal itself is still going. It now publishes as the Journal of Metabolic Healthat journalofmetabolichealth.org. If you are looking for the official journal, its current articles, or its editorial board, that is the site to visit.

We acquired the expired domain and are using it for this separate education project. When we write about articles that were originally published in the journal, we do so as commentary and summary, describing third-party research rather than republishing it. Reviews link back to the original at the publisher's site under its Creative Commons license.

How we cite sources

Every review and guide links to the primary source it discusses, with full citation details, so you can read the original research yourself. If a claim on the site is wrong or a source is misrepresented, please get in touch and we will correct it. Substantive corrections are logged on ourcorrections page.
