TNV IRRP

Insulin resistance can improve. Here is the plan.

Borderline blood sugar, PCOS, or clean eating that stopped working on the scale? Insulin resistance is often behind it, and it responds to the right habits. TNV IRRP is 1:1 coaching in three phases, sized to you, in the TNV Method app, alongside your medical care. Five steps below. Start with the signs.

Part 01

Who it is for

This is for you if…

Insulin resistance shows up in different ways. If one of these six sounds like you, this was built for you. And no, you do not have to give up roti and rice to work on it.

Your fasting insulin or HbA1c is high, or you have the signs

An HbA1c (your three-month blood sugar average) of 5.7 to 6.4 percent, a fasting glucose of 100 to 125 mg/dL, or a fasting insulin your clinic flagged. You were told to watch it, and not much else. That is the stage where habits have real room to work.

You eat clean and stay active, and the numbers will not move

When cells answer insulin poorly, the body struggles to send fuel to energy and muscle. More of it goes to storage. Calories in, calories out is not the whole story when insulin is high. You can do everything right for months and still carry the signs. That is the problem this protocol is built for.

You have PCOS, or diabetes runs in your family

Insulin resistance is a key feature of PCOS, whatever your weight, and the 2023 international guideline recommends lifestyle management for every woman with it. A parent or sibling with diabetes is on the ADA's list of reasons to get tested early. You want a plan built around your hormones and your history.

Carb cravings, energy crashes, bloating, fatigue

Cravings an hour after a meal, the afternoon crash, a gut that feels inflamed, tiredness that sleep does not fix. These are the daily signs, and they are the first things that tend to change in phase one.

Weight comes off slowly and comes back fast

You have tried more than one diet and nothing lasted. This is not a diet, and it is not about dieting harder. It works on one reason fat loss may not have been happening, in an order built so the result can hold.

You want a plan, a coach and proof

You are done guessing. You want a set plan, a coach who checks your week and calls you every week or two depending on your plan, and a blood test at the end that shows what changed.

Why it matters

Insulin resistance is not one problem. It sits underneath several.

Cells answering insulin poorly is the mechanism behind prediabetes and type 2 diabetes, and it is a key feature of PCOS, gestational diabetes, metabolic syndrome and fatty liver. Working on it works on all of them.

Prediabetes and type 2 diabetes

Insulin resistance is how they start. Cells respond poorly, the pancreas makes more insulin to cover it, and over time it cannot keep up, so blood sugar rises (NIDDK).

Gestational diabetes

Pregnancy hormones interfere with insulin. Most bodies make more to cover it. When they cannot, blood sugar rises, and preeclampsia and high blood pressure are more common alongside it (ACOG). About half of women with it go on to type 2 diabetes (CDC).

PCOS and ovulation

Insulin resistance is a key feature of PCOS, whatever your weight (2023 international guideline). High insulin pushes the ovaries to make more androgens, and high androgens interfere with the signals that control ovulation (NICHD).

Metabolic syndrome and heart risk

Insulin resistance can raise blood pressure and blood triglycerides, and a large waist, high blood sugar, high blood pressure and abnormal blood fats together are the cluster called metabolic syndrome (NHLBI).

Fatty liver

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is more common with obesity and type 2 diabetes. One-third to two-thirds of people with type 2 diabetes have it, and about 24 percent of US adults do (NIDDK).

The daily version

Cravings after meals, the afternoon crash, weight settling at the middle, and a scale that will not move on a clean diet. Same mechanism, felt day to day.

Linked and, in the diabetes and PCOS cases, mechanistic. Not every condition on this list is caused by insulin resistance alone, and none of them is diagnosed from a website. This is why a blood test is step one.

II

Part 02

What we work on

Six areas, one plan. Five work on how your cells answer insulin. The sixth keeps you doing the other five.

1

Low-GI, low-insulin nutrition, Indian-style friendly

Protein and fibre first, carbohydrate sized, timed and paired to blunt the insulin spike, no banned foods. Built from the food your kitchen already cooks, dal, roti, rice and sabzi included, with low-GI swaps where they matter.

2

Strength training for insulin sensitivity

Muscle is the body's biggest store for glucose. Structured strength protocols two or three times a week, form feedback on your lifts, and short walks after meals.

3

Sleep, stress and the daily habit plan

Short sleep and high cortisol raise blood sugar on their own. A fixed sleep window, a daily downshift, and, on Elite, sessions with a health psychologist on overthinking, your relationship with food and body image.

4

Marker and symptom tracking

Your waist, cravings, energy, sleep and readings logged in the app, read by your coach every week. The trend is the measure, not the day.

5

Labs at the start and the end, and your prescriptions

We read your blood work with you. If you take metformin or a GLP-1 (a medicine such as Ozempic that lowers appetite and blood sugar), we factor it in. Close the protocol with a metabolic lab panel and, if you choose, a body composition scan through your clinic.

6

Consistency, coached

The habits are simple. Holding them through every phase is the work, and it is what decides the result. In the Diabetes Prevention Program, the group that held the habits had 58 percent fewer new cases of diabetes (NEJM 2002). Weekly log reviews, the calls, the chat and the phase plan are there so the plan survives the hard weeks.

III

Part 03

How it works

Three phases. One plan that is actually yours.

First we calm the insulin. Then the fat starts to move. Then we make sure it stays that way. Each phase is built around your week, your food and your numbers, not a template. Here is how it works.

  1. 1

    Metabolic reset

    Cravings settle, energy steadies, and your body can start using fat instead of storing it.

  2. 2

    Fat adaptation

    The waist moves first, then the scale. We keep this phase going for as long as it is working.

  3. 3

    Sustained reversal

    Your labs show what changed. The rules loosen, and you leave with a plan you can run on your own.

IV

Part 04

What comes next

The same coach, after the numbers move.

TNV IRRP is the protocol. After it, the same coach helps you hold what you have built, in a lighter check-in phase. No starting over.

Part 05

Our promise

What we promise, and what we do not.

The blood sugar industry makes a lot of promises. Here is what we will and will not promise.

What we take responsibility for

  • A plan built to work on what can be measured: waist, strength, energy, sleep and the markers in your blood work
  • A plan that adapts to your diagnosis, your labs and the medication you take
  • A coach and clinical team who know your name and your history
  • Straight answers, even when they are not what Instagram sells

What we do not promise

  • Remission, or a specific number on your next blood test. Coaching cannot promise that
  • A replacement for your doctor, or a reason to change your medication
  • Quick fixes, detoxes or miracle supplements

We can’t promise you remission. We can promise the work that gives your body its best shot.

What we are not responsible for

  • Diagnosing insulin resistance, prediabetes, PCOS or anything else. A blood test read by your clinic does that. We coach the habits around what they find.
  • Ordering, running or interpreting labs and scans on their own. Your clinic orders and reports them. We read them with you, against your start.
  • Starting, stopping or changing medication, including metformin or a GLP-1. That stays with the person who prescribes it. We fit the plan around it.
  • Emergencies and the red-flag signs in step five. Those go to your clinic or emergency services, not to your coach.
  • Your results. We set the targets with you, measure them, and coach the habits. Doing the habits is the part only you can do.
01

Step one · Your signs

The signs, and the stage they point to.

Insulin resistance can build for years before a routine test shows anything. Many women first meet it as a borderline number and no plan. We start with a clear read of the signs, the stage they point to, and the loop behind them.

Start with the signs

The signs of insulin resistance.

Insulin is the hormone that moves sugar out of your blood and into your cells. Insulin resistance means your cells respond to it less well. Your body then makes more insulin to keep blood sugar normal. That can go on for years before a blood test shows anything. Tap the signs you have to see why they happen.

Nothing you tap is stored. This is a mirror for you, not a form for us.

The signs above are linked with insulin resistance. They do not diagnose it. A blood test is the way to know where you stand.

The four stages

The stages of insulin resistance.

Insulin resistance moves through four stages. The first two do not show on a routine blood test, because the pancreas makes extra insulin to keep blood sugar normal. Prediabetes is the first stage a routine test can see. Tap a stage to see what is happening and what can change.

Tap a tab to open it. The detail lands here.

Why it builds

The loop that keeps insulin high.

Tap each step to see how one meal becomes a pattern, and where the loop breaks.

Tap a step to open it. Each one carries the detail.

Where the loop breaks

Working muscle takes up glucose with less insulin. Regular movement, two or three strength sessions a week, slower plates and enough sleep each loosen the loop. The pancreas has less to do.

“Borderline is not a pass. It is the stage where habits do their best work.”

Step two · Your numbers

Map your numbers.

Seven markers tell the story. Two you can track at home. Five come from a blood test. We map where each one sits today, and which habit tends to move it. Then we check your waist against your height, and set the movement dose for the week.

What each marker means

The seven markers we map.

Your waist and your blood pressure are the two you track at home. Fasting glucose, HbA1c, triglycerides and HDL come from a standard blood test. Fasting insulin is a specialist test. Tap a marker to see what it means and which habit tends to move it.

Waist The home test

What it is
A tape measure around your middle, just above the hip bones, after breathing out, without pulling the tape tight. In women, 35 inches or more is linked with higher heart and type 2 diabetes risk.
Why it matters here
The waist tracks visceral fat, the deep fat around the organs that is closely linked with insulin resistance. It moves before the scale does.
How we move it
Measure weekly, same time of day, same conditions. Aerobic movement, strength work and protein bring it down. Watch the monthly trend, not single readings.

Where the numbers fall

Healthy

under 35 in

High

35 in or more

Green is the healthy zone. These are general adult reference ranges. Your lab report shows the range it used, and that is the one that counts. You can track this one yourself.

Ranges come from the sources cited above. Your lab's reference values and your own results come first.

The home ratio

Your waist against your height.

Waist divided by height, a measure of fat carried at the middle (NICE calls it central adiposity). NICE puts 0.4 to 0.49 in the healthy band, 0.5 to 0.59 in the increased band and 0.6 or more in the high band, for adults of any sex or ethnicity with a BMI (weight against height) under 35. The rule of thumb: keep your waist under half your height. Type your numbers to see where you sit.

Tape midway between the bottom of your ribs and the top of your hips, after breathing out, snug but not tight. The starting numbers are an example. Type your own.

Waist ÷ height

0.53

0.350.40.50.60.7
  • 0.4 to 0.49 · Healthy
  • 0.5 to 0.59 · Increased
  • 0.6 or more · High

0.5 to 0.59 · Increased

Increased fat at the middle.

NICE links this band with increased health risks, including type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure. This is the number we watch closely in the program, because it tends to move first.

The dose

How much movement a week?

The standards of care ask for 150 minutes or more of moderate movement a week, plus strength work on two or three days. The 2023 PCOS guideline puts the range at 150 to 300 minutes, and 250 or more to prevent weight regain. Tap the band you are in today.

Tap a range, in minutes of moderate movement a week.

Each range shows what the research says about that amount.

Brisk walking counts. If you take glucose-lowering medication, your readings can change when you change your training, so report it.

Step three · Your weak spots

Score the week you actually had.

How you feel is a start. Numbers give you something to move. A five-question self-check shows where your week is weakest. Then we build the plate many women change first, and watch what it does to the hours after a meal.

The self-check

Score your week.

Five questions on the five things that move insulin resistance. The two weakest scores become the first things we would work on. This is an educational tool, not a clinical instrument. It scores your habits, not your health.

The dietitian layer

Build a plate that keeps blood sugar steady.

No food is banned in the standards of care. The order and the shape of the plate do a lot of the work. Tap each part to see what to do and why.

Tap a tab to open it. The detail lands here.

Portions are starting points. Your coach sizes them to your body, your training and any medication you take.

The three hours after

What a plate does to the hours after a meal.

Pick what is on the plate and whether you walk after it. The curve shows how the rise in blood sugar changes shape. In a pilot study of 11 people with type 2 diabetes, blood sugar after the meal was about a third lower at 30 and 60 minutes when vegetables and protein came before the carbohydrate (Diabetes Care 2015).

The reference

Bread, rice, fruit or a sweet drink with little else. Glucose arrives fast, insulin spikes to match, and the dip an hour or two later is the crash some people feel.

Illustrative curves, drawn from the direction of the studies cited, not from readings. The percentage is the shape's, not a promise. Your own response depends on the meal, your sleep, your movement and your stage.

Step four · Your plan

Build your plan.

You know the stage, the numbers and the weak spots in your week. Now build the plan. Pick the habits you would keep, size the protein your plate is built on, and set the three checkpoints the plan is judged by. The phases that carry it are under How it runs.

Pick your habits

Six habits. Pick the ones you would keep.

Each one works on how your cells respond to insulin. Strength training scores highest, because muscle is the body's biggest store for glucose. Toggle the habits you would actually do this month and watch the plan stack. The plate from step three is already on. We add the rest one or two at a time, in the order that fits your week.

Your total score

8/ 44

Habits in your plan18%

Start with strength work or the walk after meals. Muscle is where glucose goes, and one of those two is where we would start with you.

The points are ours, not a trial's. They rank the habits by how much they tend to move insulin sensitivity in our coaching, with strength training first. In the Diabetes Prevention Program, a weight loss goal of at least 7 percent plus 150 minutes of movement a week drove the result, and the lifestyle group had 58 percent fewer new cases of diabetes over about three years (NEJM 2002).

The six habits are the same ones the standards of care ask for. The order, the points and the pace we add them at are ours, from coaching, and they change with your week.

Size the anchor

Find your protein range.

Protein is the first thing on the plate in every phase, and the part that tends to fall short on a GLP-1. Your range depends on your age, sex, weight, height, how much you train and what you are training for. Fill in the fields to see it. Lose fat, keep muscle is the phase-two setting.

Sex

*Research reference ranges for healthy adults, not a prescription. Your coach and the clinical dietitian set your actual target from your labs, your training and any medication you take, and it moves phase by phase. A kidney condition or any protein target set by whoever looks after your care comes first. Nothing you type is stored.

How the plan is judged

Step five · What we add

What your care does, what we add, and when to get checked.

You have walked the method. Here is what medication does, what coaching adds, when to get checked, and what remission really means.

How they work together

What medication does, what fitness and lifestyle add.

Medication lowers blood sugar directly. Movement, food and sleep lower it too, through different routes. Used together they do more than either does alone. Neither replaces the other.

What medication does

  • Lowers blood sugar directly. Metformin reduces the sugar your liver releases and helps your body use insulin. A GLP-1 (a medicine such as Ozempic, usually a weekly injection, that lowers appetite and blood sugar) reduces how much you eat and slows digestion. Other medicines add insulin or clear sugar through the kidneys.
  • Sets a floor of protection. It works whether or not you had a good week.
  • In the Diabetes Prevention Program, metformin cut the risk of type 2 diabetes by 31 percent. Lifestyle change cut it by 58 percent (NEJM 2002). The two are not in competition, and for many women the answer is both.
  • Is dosed by your doctor, from your blood tests. Do not change it based on how you feel or on anything you read, including this.

What fitness and lifestyle add

  • Strength training builds muscle, and muscle takes sugar out of your blood on its own, without insulin. A walk after a meal does the same for the next hour or two.
  • Meals built on protein and fibre make blood sugar rise more slowly, so any medication has less to deal with. On a GLP-1, protein and strength work protect the muscle that appetite loss puts at risk.
  • Sleep and lower stress keep cortisol down, and cortisol raises blood sugar. Together these habits can mean better readings on the same dose, which is something your doctor will want to know about.
  • Fifteen years after the Diabetes Prevention Program began, the lifestyle group still had 27 percent fewer cases of diabetes than the placebo group (Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology 2015). The habits outlasted the study.

If your readings improve, report it. Dose changes are a medical decision.

The evidence

What the lifestyle trials found.

Five results from the trials this page cites, each drawn to its own percentage. Tap a bar for the study behind it. They were supervised programs, and the figures are theirs, not ours.

Diabetes Prevention Program

3,234 adults with prediabetes. The lifestyle group aimed for 7 percent weight loss and 150 minutes of movement a week. Their risk of type 2 diabetes was 58 percent lower than placebo over about three years. Metformin cut it by 31 percent (NEJM 2002).

Diabetes Prevention Program · NEJM 2002

These were supervised trial programs. DiRECT also stopped participants' diabetes medication at the start and used a low-calorie formula diet for three to five months. Coaching draws on the same habits. It does not copy the trials, and it cannot promise their results.

Do not change medication or targets based on a website, including this one. If your readings improve, report it.

The handoff

When to get checked.

A good program is clear about its own limits. These are reasons to see a doctor, or to book a test, before or alongside coaching. We will gladly work with your clinic.

  • You are 35 or older and have not yet had a fasting glucose or HbA1c test. The standards of care say testing should begin at 35 (ADA).

  • 2

    You have PCOS and no glucose test in the last few years. PCOS is on the list of reasons to screen.

  • 3

    You had gestational diabetes. Testing is recommended for life, every one to three years, because about half of women who had it go on to develop type 2 diabetes (ADA, CDC).

  • 4

    A fasting glucose of 126 mg/dL or more, or an HbA1c of 6.5 percent or more, on any test. A diagnosis needs a second test, and that conversation belongs with a doctor.

  • 5

    Thirst, peeing a lot, blurred vision, slow-healing sores, or numb or tingling feet. These are signs blood sugar may already be high.

  • 6

    Dark, velvety patches on the neck, underarms or groin. They are one of the clearest outward signs of high insulin and worth a test.

  • 7

    A home blood pressure of 130/80 or more on repeated readings.

  • 8

    You take glucose-lowering medication and your readings are changing. Better readings on the same dose are good news, and a dose change is a medical decision.

Coaching, not medical advice. If any of these apply, get checked, then bring the results to your consultation.

What the evidence says

Reversal, remission, cure. What the words mean.

The program is called a Reversal Protocol because insulin resistance and prediabetes can improve, often a lot. For type 2 diabetes the research word is remission: blood sugar back in the normal range without glucose-lowering medication. It happens for some people, mostly soon after diagnosis and with a lot of weight loss. It is not guaranteed, and it is not the same as cured.

The claim
What the evidence says
The claimInsulin resistance can be reversed.
What the evidence saysImprovement is well supported. Muscle, movement, sleep and losing visceral fat each make cells respond to insulin better, and prediabetes can move back toward normal. We say improvement rather than reversal, because the gains fade if the habits stop. In the Diabetes Prevention Program, lifestyle change cut progression to type 2 diabetes by 58 percent over about three years (NEJM 2002).
The claimType 2 diabetes can be reversed with diet alone.
What the evidence saysNot as stated. In the DiRECT trial, 46 percent of people diagnosed within the previous six years reached remission after one year of a supervised weight-management program, against 4 percent of the usual-care group. Among those who lost 15 kg or more, 86 percent reached remission (The Lancet 2018). That is a lot of structured support and a lot of weight loss, not a diet on its own.
The claimOnce my HbA1c is normal again, I am cured.
What the evidence saysNo. Remission has to be kept up. In DiRECT, 36 percent were still in remission at two years, and among those who kept off 10 kg or more, 64 percent were (Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology 2019). In the Look AHEAD trial, 11.5 percent of the lifestyle group were in partial or complete remission at one year and 7.3 percent at four years (JAMA 2012). The habits that got the number there are the habits that keep it there.
The claimOnce I am on medication, habits stop mattering.
What the evidence saysNo. Food, movement, sleep and consistency improve the numbers your medication is managing, and they sit right alongside it in the standards of care. They support treatment rather than replace it, and whether remission is even a goal for you is a decision with whoever looks after your care.
The claimPrediabetes turns into diabetes no matter what.
What the evidence saysNo. Prediabetes can hold steady or move back toward normal, and this stage is where habits do their best work. Borderline is a reason to start now, not a reason to wait and see.

These summaries reflect the cited research and will change if the research changes.

How the coaching actually runs.

The steps above are what we work on together. This is how it runs: the IRRP protocol, phase by phase, then the week to week. It is a high-accountability program: the same 1:1 process behind every TNV program, tuned for insulin resistance.

How it runs, week to week

The day-to-day of coaching. The same process behind every TNV program.

The IRRP protocol

Three phases, sized to you, for up to a year.

Reset first, because in our experience fat loss on top of high insulin does not tend to hold. Then fat adaptation, for as long as the waist is moving. Then the labs, the loosening of the rules, and the plan you keep. Pick how long you are giving it, then tap a phase to see what we do and how the plan is customized inside it.

How long are you giving it?

start3 mo6 mo9 mo1 year
  • 1. Metabolic reset · about 1.8 mo
  • 2. Fat adaptation · about 2.4 mo
  • 3. Sustained reversal · about 1.8 mo

Phase 1 of 3 · about 1.8 mo on a 6-month run

Metabolic reset

Steady blood sugar and bring chronically high insulin down, so the body can start drawing on stored fat instead of adding to it. This is the phase on-and-off dieting tends to skip, and nothing after it holds without it.

What we do

  • Find your personal trigger foods through structured tracking
  • Meal timing and food pairing that blunt the insulin spike after eating
  • Sleep and stress foundations, because both make cells respond less to insulin
  • An eating pattern you can keep, built around low-GI versions of the foods you already eat

How we customize it

  • Your trigger foods come from your own log, not a generic list
  • The macro split is adjusted to how your blood sugar and energy respond week by week
  • The sleep window and wake time are set around your actual schedule
  • Your kitchen sets the menu: dal, roti, rice and sabzi stay, with low-GI swaps where they matter

What we work toward

  • Fewer cravings and steadier energy
  • Better sleep and less brain fog
  • A calmer gut: less bloating and irregularity

The phases are how we coach, not a trial protocol, and the lengths are typical, not fixed. A phase ends when its criteria hold, not when the calendar says. What we work toward are targets we set with you, and they depend on the habits holding. Blood tests and any body composition scan are ordered through your clinic, and read with you.

What you get, and what it costs.

Real 1:1 coaching, a clinical team behind it, and a simple way to start: a free consultation, no card, no pressure.

What’s in the program

A 30-minute video call, weekly or fortnightly by plan

Every week on Elite, every two weeks on the standard plan, with your TNV Method coach. The plan moves when you do, phase by phase.

A customized nutrition plan

Indian-style friendly, low-GI and low-insulin-index, built around your trigger foods and your tolerance. No banned foods.

Structured strength protocols with form feedback

Programmed for insulin sensitivity, with video form review on your lifts so the work lands where it should.

A daily habit and stress plan

Sleep window, wake time, the after-meal walk and the downshift, tracked in the app as habits, not chores.

Marker and symptom tracking tools

Waist, cravings, energy, sleep and any home readings, logged in the app and read by your coach every week.

Dedicated chat support

Questions between calls do not wait. Your coach is a message away.

A clinical dietitian behind your coach, and a health psychologist on Elite

A clinical dietitian trained in metabolic nutrition builds your food plan. On Elite, sessions with a health psychologist work on overthinking, your relationship with food and body image.

Labs at the end, read against your start

A metabolic lab panel at the end: fasting insulin, HbA1c and the key markers. A body composition scan too, if you choose one. Both ordered through your clinic and read with you against your start, so you see whether and where the markers moved.

Waitlist. TNV IRRP runs as true 1:1 coaching in small cohorts, so spots are capped and intake runs on a waitlist. Next start: October 10. Request priority access and we will reach out when a place opens.

Questions, answered.

The questions women ask us before they begin.

Three phases in a fixed order, sized to the time you give it. Phase one, metabolic reset: steadier blood sugar, lower insulin, your trigger foods found, sleep and stress fixed. Phase two, fat adaptation: a personalized macro split, carbohydrate cycled to your tolerance, strength training for insulin sensitivity, and it runs while the waist is moving. Phase three, sustained reversal: a lab panel to see where the markers moved, body recomposition, carbohydrate reintroduction and your maintenance blueprint, held for as long as you want. Most women run it over six months. How it runs shows each phase, and how the plan is customized inside it.

Coaching, not medical advice

TNV IRRP is health coaching and education. It is not medical advice, diagnosis or treatment, and not a substitute for care from your physician, endocrinologist or registered dietitian. Every number on this page is illustrative or taken from the cited sources. Do not start supplements or change medication, insulin or targets without the person who prescribes them. Working on these factors can improve how your body responds to insulin, but no program can guarantee remission or any specific result.
