Insulin resistance and male with PCOS like symptoms
-
Hi
Piggybacking off this thread: https://bioenergetic.forum/topic/2281/how-to-restore-glucose-oxidation-insulin-sensitivity?_=1738640425065I’m a 24-year-old male, underweight, but dealing with symptoms of insulin resistance (blurry vision, excessive urination) and PCOS-like issues (hair loss, excessive body hair, worse acne). I suspect high cortisol from years of restrictive eating and fasting is contributing to this.
I’ve tried niacinamide but stopped due to worsened vision. I’m now testing inositol and taurine, though I’ve had histamine reactions to taurine before.
My goal is to improve insulin sensitivity and bulk up. Any advice on how to approach both of these

Things I’ve found looking at the internet and other forums:- Low sugar/carb: Obvs not since here I am and I was low carb for awhile which lead to this.
-Niacinamide: Seemed to make it worse for me.
-Inositol
-Taurine
-K2
-Resistant starch: this seems to be pretty good, had some cold potatoes that I boiled the day before and felt good.
-Low fat diet
- Low sugar/carb: Obvs not since here I am and I was low carb for awhile which lead to this.
