What if your skin tags disappearing was one of the first signs that your diet was actually working? Thirty years ago, Dr. Steven Gundry put himself on what would eventually become the Plant Paradox program — and in the first year alone, he lost 50 pounds. But one of the most unexpected things that happened along the way stopped him in his tracks: every single one of his skin tags dried up and fell off. In this deeply personal clip from The Dr. Gundry Podcast, Dr. Gundry connects that moment to a discovery that would shape his entire approach to metabolic health. When he first measured his fasting insulin level, it was 16 — well above optimal. And insulin, as he explains, is not just a blood sugar hormone. It is a growth hormone. It makes things grow. Including the little patches of skin that had been quietly expanding on his body for years. Once his insulin dropped, the growth stopped — and the skin tags went with it. This is one of the most personal and powerful stories Dr. Gundry has ever shared, and it perfectly illustrates why fasting insulin may be the single most important number you’re not tracking.
