LES LabsInsulin Health – Metabolic Health and Support, Lipid & Carbohydrate Metabolism – Berberine, Chromium, Olive Leaf, Alpha Lipoic Acid & Vanadium – Non-GMO Supplement – 60 Capsules

I've had some ongoing issues with sleep (insomnia, waking mid-night, exhaustion yet unable to sleep), stubborn weight (despite healthy eating and exercise) and high-stress levels. I have a history of diabetes that runs in my family and was hoping to support my body in this area before it became a major problem. After doing some research I decided to try some herbal support and after searching for a variety of supplements I settled on this one.To be fair, I also ordered two other supplements from the same company (cortisol health and thyroid support) and began taking them at the same time. I take the Cortisol health (along with Iodine and probiotics) at night and the insulin and thyroid support in the morning (along with some extra Vit. D and magnesium.)Because I started several new products at one time I have a difficult time attributing anything miraculous to just one, however, after about a month of taking this I can say a few things:-After one night of adding the Cortisol health to my nightly routine, I had the best sleep I've gotten in years. Between the three mixes, I find that I sleep longer, deeper, wake more rested and feel more energy through the day.-Since adding the three LES Labs mixes (Cortisol, Insulin, and Thyroid) I lost 7 lbs, a triumph after 4 months of intentional healthy eating and exercise with no results.-I generally take it once a day before either breakfast or lunch. I feel as though my blood sugar levels are more stable. I'm considering taking it before each meal (the serving suggestion is 1-3 times a day) to see if that has any noticeable benefit.-My sister said that she notices an appetite suppressant effect when taken before meals.In summary, I do highly recommend this supplement as a piece of the puzzle of health. Most people with insulin resistance also have issues elsewhere (cortisol and thyroid among others). It helps to understand how these issues are connected and address them as a whole. Unless you're a type 1 Diabetic, insulin health is greatly impacted by diet and exercise. This won't replace that. However, I did find that my body needed a little extra support and with that, the healthy lifestyle I was living worked a lot better. These aren't the type of issues that go away overnight or even with one bottle. It took years for my body to get off balance and I expect it will be a journey back to full health, but this product is part of that for me.

I used this supplement in conjunction with the LES labs cortisol health supplement for adrenal support, stress relief, and balanced cortisol response. I believe I was suffering from extreme adrenal fatigue based on research and the cluster of symptoms I was experiencing. One of those symptoms was weight gain, primarily in the belly area. This was the first time in my life that I had ever gained weight in that area (I am quite pear shaped and generally gain weight in my hips, buttocks, and thighs) so I thought perhaps I was having issues with insulin spikes related to my adrenal fatigue and using this supplement in conjunction with LES labs cortisol health supplement, I was able (with a few dietary modifications and exercise) to lose the belly fat. After taking this supplement, I stopped reaching for donuts and bagels in the morning and drinking cup after cup of coffee to get through the days. In addition to quelling my carb and sugar cravings, I feel it had a strong positive impact on my mood and energy levels as well! I would absolutely recommend this product! Also, in case anybody was wondering, I was never diagnosed with anything as I saw two doctors and they basically blew me off and said "diet and exercise" (duh) and an antidepressant (no thanks) were the answer. So I would encourage anybody who feels that their primary physician doesn't express concern regarding your symptoms, to be proactive about your own health and do your research! My research led me to this supplement and I am sooo thankful that it did!

As stated above, these supplements aren't bad and even though I've not yet been on these quite a week yet, they've given me a boost in the right direction, to help me get back on track with my healthy living lifestyle. I don't want to be dependent on a bunch of supplements or medications for the rest of my life and I'm going to hold onto these supplements and try taking them as needed at this point.

Really want to use it more, but I'm really feeling like it's working to help me lose weight. I'm 41 yrs old and can't lose weight even though I'm eating right, and exercising 6 days a week for over a year and a half now. I've lost maybe 20lbs. My thoughts are that its insulin resistance, as I've had blood tests and other things without any issues. But I have an autoimmune disease and can't tell if its related or not. But I feel like it's helping but I'm afraid to weigh myself. Its been 2 weeks and feel like my stomach fat is already reducing. Fingers crossed. I've been doing 3x a day as well along with Cortisol health as well. I'll update after at least a full month or 2.Update: I stopped using this supplement and the cortisol health as they did nothing for weight, as previously hoped. First, I can't see spending this much on it. I was taking it for 2 months but didn't see much difference. I did find my blood sugar wasn't dropping as it usually did when hungry. I felt slightly less hungry as well. But not enough positives to justify spending $60 a month for. I REALLY wanted this to work but it didn't do much.
