Precision Insulin Restoration (PIR) is an innovative medical process designed to restore the body’s sensitivity to insulin. This therapy uses micro-doses of insulin to reestablish a normal cellular response, supporting optimal blood sugar regulation and overall cellular function.
How PIR Works
Insulin is the hormone that allows glucose in the bloodstream to enter every cell in the body. With approximately 37 trillion cells in the average adult male, each containing 20,000–200,000 insulin receptors, proper insulin function is critical for energy production.
When cells respond effectively to insulin:
- Glucose enters tissues and organs efficiently.
- More adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is generated, fueling cellular function.
- Tissues and organs function more normally, promoting overall health.
Understanding Insulin Resistance
Insulin resistance occurs when cells no longer respond properly to insulin, leading to elevated blood sugar and impaired cellular function. Conditions associated with insulin resistance include:
- Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
- Metabolic Syndrome
- Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)
- Chronic Kidney Disease
- Obesity-related Insulin Resistance
- Age-related Sarcopenia
Individuals with Type 2 Diabetes can experience insulin resistance ranging from mild to severe, impacting energy, metabolism, and overall health.
Why PIR Is Unique
PIR therapy addresses the fundamental physiologic issue: restoring the insulin receptor’s ability to respond to normal insulin levels. This bio-mimetic approach replicates the body’s natural insulin secretion patterns:
- In a healthy individual, the pancreas releases insulin every 4–8 minutes.
- Cells respond appropriately, allowing glucose to enter and blood sugar levels to remain stable.
- In insulin-resistant individuals, chronic high insulin or glucose levels impair receptor function.
- PIR uses an FDA-approved pump to deliver micro-doses of insulin in physiologic patterns, restoring receptor function and improving cellular glucose uptake.
Benefits of PIR Therapy
- Improved blood sugar regulation
- Enhanced cellular energy production (ATP)
- Support for healthy tissue and organ function
- Restoration of normal insulin receptor activity
- Potential improvement in metabolic and inflammatory conditions
