My husband was diagnosed with colorectal cancer AND celiac disease at the same time. We started the GF diet...just last month he had a heart attack and had 1 Stent and 2 bypasses done! In our ignorance we bought into the GF food idea not realizing his insulin was being spiked constantly!! I need to get him on my keto diet. Pray for me, this is gonna be tough! 21 Reply 3 replies Shaneé Townsend Shaneé Townsend 1 year ago I am literally crying watching this I have gotten so many answers in the fist half hour watching this video than I have had in my life!

The doctors never mentioned anything about his insulin. They just gave him pills to lower blood pressure and told him to loose belly fat. Thank you so much for this! 44 Reply 5 replies Renu Pathak Renu Pathak 1 year ago I am in india and a biochemist. I appreciate this talk of Dr Ben.... extremely precise, simply explained for lay people to understand. 17 Reply 1 reply sarasayshi sarasayshi 1 year ago This was such an informative podcast. I really appreciate the knowledge that was shared. I have been keto for almost 2 years and I incorporated alternate day fasting with it over the past year. I lost 25 lbs in the first 3 months of adding alternate day fasting but then I started switching things up and testing playing around with my carb intake and the next thing you know, I gained the 25 back. This discussion was really what I needed to hear to encourage me to continue with what works; a keto diet with fasting. I actually prefer Ketovore more because I have discovered that some veggies hurt my stomach and give me IBS. So I can tolerate a very small veggie intake. But I mostly eat fats and proteins. 39 Reply jerry davis jerry davis 1 year ago I've watch hundreds of videos on managing diabetes and insulin resistance.

I’ve been on a quest for better health for years now. In 2012 my insulin according to the triglycerides divided by HDL was 6.7 (had to go back and check). In January of 2019 it was 1.38 (also down 40 lbs). If I hadn’t watched this awesome presentation I would have never known that insulin could be measured and monitored. Lately I had gone back to lots of carbs and sugars so I’m going to run, not walk, to get some blood work done! I want to see how bad I let things go. I watched in an effort to get myself back on track. Mission accomplished- thank you! 6 Reply Binbin Binbin 1 year ago Love that Dr. Bikman brought up migraines.

I've sometimes heard dementia called type 3 diabetes. Well my mother died of dementia a few years ago, yet she was quite thin. Her fasting blood glucose and A1C were always normal even though she ate a lot of candy and carbs. Actually, that was her primary diet. Because her those labs were normal, her insulin levels were never checked. Maybe she really was insulin resistant but not to the point of elevated glucose, nonetheless causing inflammatory disease processes. I'll never know for sure, but it makes me wonder if she did have 'type 3' diabetes. 17 Reply 1 reply John Bridenstine John Bridenstine 7 months ago The migraine link to insulin resistance is critical information. I suffered from migraine headaches for decades. All I was ever offered were pills, never diet advice.

I am 86 years of age, and used to wonder why my skin tags would be very prominent at some times, and at others would disappear. I have just checked, and at the moment I have only a couple of tiny ones. This could well be because I have been taking note of my diet and restricting my carbs this past couple of weeks. Fascinating. This video is really very useful.

I asked my doctor yesterday to add fasting insulin to my upcoming lab work. She told me no. And that she would instead watch my A1C every 6 months, and if she noticed it was going up I would then be placed on Metformin. It's been 4.9 to 5.0 for years, yet I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes during my 1st trimester of pregnancy last year. So I know there is or was something going on with IR.

Although I found 1 thing missing which I can assume its the insulin resistance effect and it was not mention: LIPOMA. It's sort of colagulated fat cells like a tumor which are under the skin and often SUPER difficoult to get rid of. Is it this issue mention in the book as well? What causes to create these in us ?

Lost 12 pound and now just sitting there but not gaining so I’ll just keep doing 16-8 fasting or increase it occasionally and watch the magic happen. Exercise helps too but Îm limited with that. Sugar is still high in the morning and Îm still on Metformin and jardiance which do not increase insulin. I suffered from endometriosis my whole adult life and was infertile because of it. This was from a young age so insulin affects a lot of stuff if kept too high and I was a pasta lover. 4 Reply 2 replies Jill Turner Jill Turner 1 year ago Superb interview.

I've not only been diagnosed with insulin resistance by my gyn, I also have ptsd, which means beeing under a big stress level all the time. But intead off that explaining my little weight problem, I've been diagnosed in an psychological clinik with an eating disorder and them saying there is no such thing as insuline resistance and not believing me that I eat healthy and not too much. At that time I already had started on my own with intermitted fasting, but nothing I told them changed their mind and they stressed me even more with labeling me with an eating disorder. That was two years ago. With the fasting combined with low carb, no sugar I lost a good amound of weight but I`m stuck since a year cause of the stress the pandamig causes through isolation and job loss and I also became vegan. At least I'm not gainig weight but would be happy to come back to loosing weight again, for my comfort weight is not reached jet. Thanks for this informative video.

THANK YOU!! 4 Reply Robin Q Robin Q 1 year ago After 1 year on Keto some numbers have improved but others have not - in particular A1c & BG are down, but both TG and HDL are up. My fasting insulin and HOMA-IR are also up and my BP and Ketone levels have not improved - though I have lost 60 lbs with 20 yet to go. I don't get it, because it seems my IR has gotten worse in the last 6 or so months. Recently had to make a trip to the ER because of a nasty headache following a migraine - which I have not had since starting. Though I think this video may have explained what my DR had no clue to. I keep my carbs around 20 and have recently upped my protein and cut back on fat. The day of the migraine I did drink quite a bit of chichory coffee with a sugarless chocolate syrup that had several artificial sweeteners and quite a few emulsifiers in it. Something that I usually avoid. But the tip that helps the most I think, is knowing that IR can be the culprit not only for spikes of BG & insulin but that a spike in blood pressure can help me identify it when it seems my BG has dropped after eating (2 hrs) but the insulin is still high as revealed by my BP.

The main advantage to fighting obesity with low carb dieting over CICO is that losing by avoiding carbs doesn't cause your metabolism to down-regulate. Even if you manage to resist the hunger of sharply reduced calories, your system will lower the calorie burn if you graze and snack. You have to signal the insulin to remain low between meals.

Reply Seth Brolsma Seth Brolsma 11 months ago Lower insulin resistance by lessening stress (in large part by getting more sleep) and four dietary tips: fewer carbs; prioritize high-quality protein (focus on animal protein, whey, egg whites); fill all remaining calories with fat (fat has no effect on insulin; focus on animal fat and fruit fats i.e. coconut, avocado, olives vis-a-vis oils...avoid soybean, cottonseed, canola oil); time-restricted eating/intermittent fasting. Also working your muscles stimulates an insulin-like effect of pulling glucose into the muscle despite insulin resistance. Do not finish working out by loading up on carbs because it will undo the benefit of the muscles synthesizing insulin on their own. 1 Reply Vera Ghaly Vera Ghaly 1 year ago It has been great informative session.

So their bodies adapted to extract more calories from low nutrient foods. Now that we’re in high calorie environment, it became maladaptive.

Reply Melz Melz 11 months ago (edited) I am interested in seeing a study on any potential link between lipomas and consuming protein powders/shakes. My husband has a lipoma and so do I. I am the only person in my family to have one (like EVER) on both sides. I'm also the only one in my biological family that has consumed protein powders or shakes.. My lipoma is "atypical". Maybe because I can't use whey protein? I literally vomit it up 1/2 an hour after consuming it (every time I have ever tried it). I tried it years apart. I was never sick when I had it and was perfectly fine after vomiting it up. I couldn't control the vomiting until the powder was completely out of my system. I tried different brands...etc. I am pretty sure that I have an intolerance to whey protein. So I decided to "out smart" my body because I "needed" more protein (I was working out A LOT). I used plant based protein powder (I have stopped using protein powders since then). As I previously stated, I now have a large atypical lipoma on my shoulder. A surgeon tried to remove it and mostly failed. Now I have my 1st ever keloid scar and the lipoma. My husband has an abnormally large lipoma and his surgeon asked if he used protein powders when he lifted weights. Apparently, body builders have a higher percentage of lipoma formation. I have read studies from the UK that (basically) say that we can get all the protein we (general public) need from food. I've seen American studies that say we need certain enzymes to process protein powders. These studies also say "Protien powders can be stored as fat if not used by the muscle right away". So if our bodies can get all the protein we need from food and protein powders can be stored as fat if not used by the muscles right away, aren't we just forcing too much unnatural, processed protein onto our systems? Wouldn't the fact that we can get all the protein we need from food mean anything above and beyond food is superfluous? If we know they turn to fat when not fully used it then makes sense why a higher percentage of body builders could develop lipomas.. We also know that our bodies portion off unnatural or foreign stuff. The body decides, "I don't know what this crap is. I'm not sure how to process it. It might be dangerous but somehow it got inside me. I will just seal it off some place where I cannot access it, just in case its toxic." You see where I'm going with this. Also consider that domesticated dogs (carnivores) have a very high likelihood of developing lipomas... Veterinarians have known this for years... So the dog food has a high level of protein (reduced to a powder form during the processing of the food because it has to be compressed into convenient kibble) and a huge percentage of dogs get lipomas... People are even less carnivorous than dogs. So we need less protein to thrive. That means a carnivores animal species (domestic dogs) and an omnivores animal species (humans) both eat protein powders and both groups get more lipomas. The subsection of each species that has a higher likelihood of developing lipomas also ingests vastly more processed protein powders. Protein powder ingestion in other subsections of the species (plural) is incidental. I know the following is anecdotal but I have lived in predominantly rural areas my whole life. I have never seen a coyote with a lipoma. I do regularly see wild coyotes (and foxes) as I live in rural Colorado. They are everywhere here. Yet my kibble-fed coy-dog also has a lipoma... There are (American (I think)) studies that indicate "Working out in a fasted state" triggers a growth hormone. This hormone helps in muscle recovery (after the workout breaks it down). Essentially (fasting) does what protien powders are supposed to do. Of course, when the body builds the muscle back up, on its own (using the hormones it generates as a natural reaction to fasting) it works better. I do believe the athlete has to then consume an actual (natural food) high protein and fat meal soon after the workout ends... Food for thought.

Reply burritos burritos 2 years ago Such a great message. Succinct, but I could listen to Ben Bikman for hours. The one thing I notice when experts are talking about this topic is the urgency and the passion that is present in their voices. When the house is burning down, you can't say it calmly, you have to say it forcefully. Even shout it. But when it's not obvious that the house is burning down(the metaphor for global metabolic pandemic=ill people=unhappy people=societal breakdown=violence...), you just look like a crazy person with some nebulous message about not eating carbs and seed oil.

Ceramides key to losing weight, fighting diabetes Brigham Young University 48,949 views Oct 17, 2013 Fats called ceramides build up in cells, damage mitochondria and lead to obesity and diabetes, says a BYU researcher. By inhibiting ceramide, Benjamin Bikman reports that they could prevent weight gain and diabetes in animal models, even when animals were given high-fat, high-sugar diets. Bikman reports that ceramide causes long, connected strands of mitochondria to separate and the smaller damaged mitochondria aren't as efficient at burning energy (which leads to weight gain). Although no ceramide inhibitor is currently available for humans, Bikman says diet and exercise have also been shown to inhibit ceramide. 61 Comments rongmaw lin Add a comment... bayge71 bayge71 1 year ago (edited) I am a woman over 40 and I have been on a keto diet for the past couple of years and I've been hearing that taking ceramides would help fight against the sagging skin and good for anti-aging for the face and neck.

I guess they just don't eat much fat and get all their calories from carbs. There's also a video here on YT 'Dr. Chris Knobbe - 'Diseases of Civilization: Are Seed Oil Excesses the Unifying Mechanism?' in which he describes how traditional diets from different tribes have been studied and both tribes had no heart disease or diabetes, but one tribe ate mostly fat and animal products, the other lived mainly on sweet potatoes! so virtually all carbs.

I have known that most of my life, and I was actually following a moderate approach with not consuming too many processed and refined sugars and the low-fat approach. I was also fairly active and never overweight. I was on the verge of tears when at 66 I was diagnosed with pre-diabetes. I thought I was doing everything in my power to fight the diabetic gene. The dr was quick to prescribe metformin and nothing was mentioned about diet and other changes. After the initial shock, I took it upon myself to find a way to beat prediabetes with keto, intermittent fasting, and increasing my activity level by walking and gym. It was a learning process, but well worth the time and effort. I am sticking to my new approach for the rest of m life to maintain the ugly face of DM away. 4 Reply Kathleen Kalt Kathleen Kalt 4 months ago It was really wonderful to hear that Dr. Bikman struggles with cravings at night sometimes. I have been feeling like such a failure because I lock up carbs at 8pm and give my husband the key to hide. I actually ordered a lucite box with a key and put it in a kitchen cupboard. We store bread and other carbs there. My husband is not insulin resistant but I am and I need to lock those foods up. I'd lost 50 lbs on a very low carb diet before the Covid lockdown. Let's just say I'm starting all over again. Keto works but it isn't easy being the only family member following the plan. I recently bought a CGM because my insurance won't cover it. This gizmo has been an eye-opener and game changer giving me real time feedback. I am sympathetic to those who can't afford to pay for it out of pocket (medicare doesn't cover it) but if anyone reading this struggles with T2D and can afford it to buy one, I recommend it. 6 Reply 1 reply Annick Scholliers Annick Scholliers 6 months ago This is magnificent interview.

Reply Neal Chambers Neal Chambers 7 months ago You have a great energy Austin 👍 6 Levels Reply Johnny Johnny 7 months ago How do you know who to trust as an educator? Imagine them being thrown into a new job as a shoe salesperson and picture how good they would be. I think Bikman would fall all over himself. "I don't really know much about shoes" would be his opening line. He requires himself to understand processes in minute detail and only then does he have the confidence to explain them concisely. But a true salesperson is able to sound confident even when they lack the mechanistic detail to back it up. Unfortunately most of the popular metabolic and health educators are true salespeople. Bikman is not, which makes him easy to trust. 8 Reply Dexter Mahadeo Dexter Mahadeo 7 months ago Just discovered this channel. I like it.

They were hooked on Big Pharma and any attempt to shift the solution to exercise and diet was resisted. All were told by their doctors diabetes was more hereditary than anything else and diet would only marginally help their condition. They absolutely refused to do anything but wait for some miracle cure that would require no effort. As much as I loved them it was frustrating they would not take their heath into their own hands. I too have struggled with weight even as I have remained active, take vitamins and have not allowed my condition to get worse. Now at my advanced age I have begun losing the 40 lbs that I need to lose and already I feel much better. I take no drugs, I'm blessed. 380 Reply 40 replies John Hutsebaut John Hutsebaut 1 month ago Both my parents were type 2 diabetics and, although they tried to eat healthy, they had no idea what was healthy.

So I started using the supplements & really cut back on sugar because I was definitely hooked on sugary products (soda's,cakes,cookies,ice cream , certain juices) not realizing the danger I was putting myself in & to top it off my father had died because of diabetes & high blood pressure so I was heading in the same direction in my 30's. But the info she gave me dramatically lowered my A1 c & after less than two (2) months I was no longer taking insulin shots! Here I am in my early 50's & still no more insulin shots or diabetes!! Taking chromium & cinnamon tablets in my case has I guess reversed my diabetic situation & also restricting my daily sugar intake has been outstanding! Is it the cure?

I actually have been fasting every other day so far for about an 80 day period (so 40 fast days) I eat between noon and midnight on my eating day. Mostly eat what I want and have found as time goes by that I am eating healthier and actually want to do so. Drink plenty of water on all days. Some supplements everyday; other supplements only on the eating days (because they don't go well on an empty stomach) I am now able to wear some clothes that I have not been able to wear for at least the last 15 years.

Really grateful for your informative talks. I would like to hear on Diabetic management, enlarged prostate and IBS 1 Reply coco silk coco silk 1 year ago Something that was not mentioned in this talk but which is also important is how the diet of a pregnant woman can be downright dangerous if she is eating excess carbohydrate - something I learned the hard way! I had 3 children late in life (which is when the silent metabolic issues are really starting to catch up with you) and because no one checks your insulin during pregnancy, you won't realise how that can play in with different pregnancy complications. During my first pregnancy at 38 - 39 years old, towards the end, I developed preeclampsia. Fortunately it wasn't severe enough to hurt baby, but still very traumatic for me. During my second pregnancy I still had higher blood pressure than normal, and in my 3rd pregnancy, at 43 - 44 years old, I had gestational diabetes. Both preeclampsia and gestational diabetes must be an insulin problem too, and caused in part (if not entirely) by a diet with excess carbohydrates. It's a shame it took me till my 3rd pregnancy to stumble across the low carb community and a shame many women will never know until they are going through their own pregnancy complications. I have since the last part of my last pregnancy been eating mostly low carb (it's been over 2 years now). It's not been easy to make the change, for sure. I have tried all sorts of ways of eating, right down to carnivore for a short period. I've always struggled with the "keto flu" symptoms and find ketosis both energising but also leading to insomnia, so I've had to add some carbs back here and there (along with electrolytes and magnesium supplements). I haven't been able to try fasting yet as I'm still breastfeeding but I'll eat a salad in the evening so I don't snack on the wrong things and have fatty meat as my first meal of the day - I find that's the best way to cut cravings!nnI've overdone it on nuts at times too trying to wean off flour-based treats - so I make nut meal pancakes - but I think it's not good for the teeth if it can block mineral absorption so I'm trying to ease up on those now too. Meat is literally the only safe thing that most people can digest appropriately and never seem to be allergic to. But shhhh! Don't tell everyone, or there won't be enough to go around... I'm sure that's why there's been a movement to trick people into eating only plant-based foods. If you think about how valuable meat is to the poorer countries around the world, and how much meat is exported and imported to certain countries, you'd know that not everyone has been fed the narrative about plant-based foods being the best. It's like the educated people in the West are being tricked so someone else can take the meat for themselves. That's how it looks to me anyway. We're told we should feel guilty about eating meat. The Chinese would laugh at that. I had my first experience of that kind of cultural difference when I was out on the reef in a glass bottom boat with some Japanese kids who were looking at all the pretty reef fish and saying "Yum yum!" There was no guilt there. Just a direct understanding where food comes from. 4 Reply Janice Jurgensen Janice Jurgensen 1 year ago I agree! I am now type 1 diabetic and I believe it has to with the diet my nutritionist taught me!! She was recommended by my endocrinologist and I had to take my health power back! She told me 40 carbs during breakfast, 40 for lunch and 20 for dinner!! Insane I now eat no carbs other than vegetables. And even those r now cruciferous only. Ty for finally explaining it all. But unfortunately I still have to take 24 hr insulin and short acting insulin as needed. I wish I’d known that 25 years ago.

C. T. C. 1 year ago (edited) I'm so glad to hear his advice at 50:24. My natural preference for eating is in the morning/afternoon. I'm always very hungry when I wake up (and have been ever since I was a very young kid). I do a 16/8 time restricted eating (sometimes 18/6 or 15/7) and I've always felt a little "guilty" that my eating window is in the morning/afternoon when it seems so many experts are recommending skipping breakfast and even delaying lunch as the best approach. However, I also believe in listening to your body so I just ignored that recommendation. (Maybe that common recommendation is leveraging the fact that many people are NOT hungry upon waking...based on my experience in talking to people, I'd say that seems to be more the norm. Plus as he mentions, it makes eating dinner with family more practical.) 10 Reply 1 reply Gary Roberts Gary Roberts 1 year ago An excellent video, reinforced what I believe and practise 6 Reply frumundachz2149 frumundachz2149 4 weeks ago I was lifting weights, increasing food intake to gain mass and then I started losing muscle and gaining fat as well as joint pain.

Reply Marte Anderson Marte Anderson 5 months ago My Grandfather taught me on the farm you can tell how healthy an animal is by looking at it's eyes first and it's skin and hair second. The same applies to humans. When someone gives you advice on health look at their eyes and skin and hair. If they are giving you good advice and living that advice themselves you will see the evidence before you. If they don't follow their own advice, or it's bad advice, why should you? Many influencers on YouTube and social media and traditional media are talking their "book". You need to look at the world through a different lens and question everything. What are they selling? Why are they selling it? Ask questions? That's how progress is made. Reply su stock su stock 5 months ago dr.

So from what I gather I will need to exclude grains, sugar or carbs ever again? Because my body can not deal with it and obvious already has enough stored energy that will need time to drain. I read Jason Jungs book and have been practicing I.F and keto and excersize for several years and it barely shows signs of helping. So here is the missing puzzle piece must be eliminated carbs. It's not possible to have small carbs because we already eat barely any carbs so let's be frank and just admit my body need not ever consume a grain, sugar or carbs. I start this now and let's see.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods VILLA CAPPELLI ALZHEIMER'S CONTROVERSY Vinnie welcomes Dr. Ben Bikman back to the show and they start the discussion with the recent controversy around how Alzheimer's research and the "plaque theory" was falsified. (6:54) Dr. Bikman has updated studies verifying the plaque theory was wrong, explaining what the studies prove. (11:00) He also tells Vinnie how the FDA had recently approved a new drug for Alzheimer's even though the drug was proven not to be ineffective. Vinnie and Ben chat about "gurus" who advocate the use of Metformin for longevity but ignore the truth about the drug. (16:15) Ben goes into detail about how Alzheimer's is not a plaque-based disease, but a metabolic-based one. (19:00) BRAIN FOOD Vinnie and Ben then switch to discussing why ketones are so important as brain food, and how insulin hurts the brain. (20:20) When insulin is elevated, ketones are turned off. Alzheimer's is the number one reason why Dr. Bikman chooses a low-carb lifestyle. Vinnie also asks Ben about the difference between the two kinds of fat and how they work in the body. (35:15) As a result, the conversation turns to a discussion about protein and how much is a beneficial amount to have. They also chat about having too much protein. Vinnie asks Ben his thoughts on cold immersion therapy and what the benefits are. (48:00) Vinnie and Ben finish the discussion with an explanation of the benefits of autophagy as well as if and how intermittent fasting should be done.

I used to give argue this point constantly with the patients in my care about too many carbs and basically minuscule amounts of protein but always lost the battle to the all knowing dietitians. Thank you for validating my battles. 4 Levels Reply Patience Ankrah Patience Ankrah 4 months ago Dr Bikman, God bless you for availing yourself to research metabolic disorders. I had all the symptoms you talk about 40 years ego and never once did any doctor mention insulin resistance. After years of getting tired of being sick l took it upon myself to go to the library to read books on nutrition. Started uncovering information on insulin and inflation. Listening to you has helped me to control my symptoms with health modifications by eating low carb. Thank for all you do. 12 Levels Reply Kokonut Adventure Kokonut Adventure 9 months ago I can vouch to all of these topics, Dr. Bikman is part of my healing without ever meeting him in person just listening to all of his lectures and reading his book, “why we get sick” 23 Reply Karen F Karen F 10 months ago Aren't those of us who have come upon Dr. Bikman the lucky ones?

I'm 64 and I became very interested in foods and health when I was age 9. I had been home for 2 weeks curled up the the couch when my neighbor came to check on me. This lady was 85 and I was a latch key kid. She was horrified to see me travel to the bathroom crawling on my hands and knees. A doctor was called who made a house call and examined me. He called my mother and told her, in an angry tone, he was taking me to the hospital for an emergency appendectomy. Immediately after the doctor hung up the phone, he stormed into the kitchen. I could hear him opening the fridge, cupboards and drawers. He was angry, slamming things around and grumbling. After I woke from surgery, my mother came in and the doctor cornered her at one side of my bed. He pointed his finger at her telling her he was going to call Social Services and have me removed because my DIET of bread, cereals, pasta, hotdogs was killing me. To this day I CANNOT have frosted miniwheats, Life, Cheerios in the house. My kids said when they were young the neighbors all portrayed me as a nut because it was common knowledge I would not allow boxed cereal, sugar, sodas, white bread, candy, etc in the house. If I eat a bowl of cereal in the evening a couple of nights a week, the cravings will start up and the cereal will call to me at 2am screaming to me to eat it. I can't have it in the house. 24 Reply 4 replies Pam Reeves Pam Reeves 6 months ago I'm sitting here stunned!!! I've suffered from pulsatile tinnitus for several years now...seen numerous doctors...had a surgical procedure, and no help. I was told there was no cause or cure. Now, only because I can't lose weight no matter what I do, I'm hearing that maybe the insulin resistance is the culprit??? 18 Reply 1 reply 8KisOK 8KisOK 6 months ago Woah, Dr Bickman is absolutely brilliant and a lifesaver. He speaks extremely well. You could actually write a book with great clarity just dictating what he’s talking about. I’m blown away and just ordered his book. I started an almost keto diet, absolutely no sugars of course, and narrowed my eating window to around seven hours with no snacking. I eat only two meals, one at 10AM and the other at 5PM. In three weeks, I’ve noticed my constant inner ear pressure had subsided considerably. I was occasionally ( once, or twice a year) waking up at night with massive vertigo. Also. I was always feeling a bit dizzy. The symptoms seemed to be more exaggerated during fall and spring, probably due to my allergies. Also, I’ve have tinnitus for maybe 40 years. I did play in bands when I was younger. I always wondered why some days were better than others for ear hiss. Both ears, maybe the left ear a little more have a constant hiss. Sounds like white noise hiss in the upper frequency range say 4K-15k, or wherever my hearing rolls off. It seems as if it extends into my highest range and beyond. Some day are worse than others. Years ago I would get an occasional break with almost no perceivable hiss, but from my 50s on (now in my mid 60s). Since starting the diet change limiting carbs and the limited eating window, I now have less ear hiss. As a musician and my love for music, I almost started crying. It’s still there -but distant. I can’t thank Dr. Bickman enough for this information. If you or Dr Bickman can suggest more direction, I’m all ears? Im going to focus on keeping up the same semi-fasting with two meals a day and no snacking at any time. I will also tighten my carbs even more. Im blown away. All these damn years feel like a waste. I slowly feel like I can hear better. Damn insulin resistance! 3 Reply tg tg tg tg 10 months ago (edited) I'm so glad that young American doctors are aware now about the wrong north American diet and I'm so hopeful they will be the one to bring the change!

My family tends toward diabetes in older age as well as hearing loss. I never supposed they might be connected by causation. On the other hand it put my mind at ease about a morning bg of 110. My goal is to be under 100 each morning, and have struggled to achieve that. I have compromised to a goal/practice of fasting until bg drops below 100. UPDATE:. (Age 71) Fasting until glucose dropped below 100 didn't work, because it didn't allow me to finish my eating time early enough, (I need to be done eating by 3 pm to maintain a long enough fasting time, have an empty stomach at bed time, and stay on a 24-hour cycle). Self-imposed parameters: *24-hour fasting eating cycle *18 hour or longer fasting period *Eat enough low carb calories to maintain energy yet discourage snacking. *Restrict calories and carbs enough to be under 100 fasting glucose. Gratitude to Bikman, Fung and others for educating me to be able to lose 50+ pounds and maintain for several years. 7 Reply 1 reply Soteria Charis Soteria Charis 9 months ago Amazing interview!!

My fasting and average blood glucose was tending to run from mid 90s to mid 100s. One of two things or both seem to be causing this. Taking a multi vitamin and the Vitamin C level, 500 mg and or not eating enough low glycemic carbs. When i quit taking the Multi vitamin and eat more salad leafy greens, onion, peppers, olives. My theory is when the liver converts protein to glucose, the conversion level is higher than what we want for a basal blood glucose level. If you eat a modest amount of good low glycemic vegetables then the liver doesn’t have to convert the protein to glucose and then the pancreas can maintain a proper blood glucose level. Its like there is a liver pancreas disconnect when relying on gluconeogenisis. We shall see as in about a week i will take the vitamin again and see if the basal blood glucose goes up again.

My situation: Early in the day, I often like to eat a whole grapefruit - alongside drinking a glass of room temp green tea. It's become a favorite morning ritual. However, one website says that a single grapefruit has 8.6 grams of Fructose in it! (Which seems like a high amount) My question: could a person eating an apple, or a large grapefruit, or some other favored fruit (with considerable fructose in it) offset or lessen the negative effect of Fructose, by also consuming a small amount of Psyllium powder fiber *along with it*? I'm thinking that a small amount of fruit + fiber won't break an Intermittent Fast (at least I hope so) and will help with the Fructose / Glucose problems. BTW, I try to eat my fruit separately from other foods which have more substance. Any ideas about whether the Psyllium powder would help with the Fructose situation? Reply Starving myself to LIFE!

I'm 64 and I became very interested in foods and health when I was age 9. I had been home for 2 weeks curled up the the couch when my neighbor came to check on me. This lady was 85 and I was a latch key kid. She was horrified to see me travel to the bathroom crawling on my hands and knees. A doctor was called who made a house call and examined me. He called my mother and told her, in an angry tone, he was taking me to the hospital for an emergency appendectomy. Immediately after the doctor hung up the phone, he stormed into the kitchen. I could hear him opening the fridge, cupboards and drawers. He was angry, slamming things around and grumbling. After I woke from surgery, my mother came in and the doctor cornered her at one side of my bed. He pointed his finger at her telling her he was going to call Social Services and have me removed because my DIET of bread, cereals, pasta, hotdogs was killing me. To this day I CANNOT have frosted miniwheats, Life, Cheerios in the house. My kids said when they were young the neighbors all portrayed me as a nut because it was common knowledge I would not allow boxed cereal, sugar, sodas, white bread, candy, etc in the house. If I eat a bowl of cereal in the evening a couple of nights a week, the cravings will start up and the cereal will call to me at 2am screaming to me to eat it. I can't have it in the house. 24 Reply 4 replies Pam Reeves Pam Reeves 6 months ago I'm sitting here stunned!!!

He speaks extremely well. You could actually write a book with great clarity just dictating what he’s talking about. I’m blown away and just ordered his book. I started an almost keto diet, absolutely no sugars of course, and narrowed my eating window to around seven hours with no snacking. I eat only two meals, one at 10AM and the other at 5PM. In three weeks, I’ve noticed my constant inner ear pressure had subsided considerably. I was occasionally ( once, or twice a year) waking up at night with massive vertigo. Also. I was always feeling a bit dizzy. The symptoms seemed to be more exaggerated during fall and spring, probably due to my allergies. Also, I’ve have tinnitus for maybe 40 years. I did play in bands when I was younger. I always wondered why some days were better than others for ear hiss. Both ears, maybe the left ear a little more have a constant hiss. Sounds like white noise hiss in the upper frequency range say 4K-15k, or wherever my hearing rolls off. It seems as if it extends into my highest range and beyond. Some day are worse than others. Years ago I would get an occasional break with almost no perceivable hiss, but from my 50s on (now in my mid 60s). Since starting the diet change limiting carbs and the limited eating window, I now have less ear hiss. As a musician and my love for music, I almost started crying. It’s still there -but distant. I can’t thank Dr. Bickman enough for this information. If you or Dr Bickman can suggest more direction, I’m all ears? Im going to focus on keeping up the same semi-fasting with two meals a day and no snacking at any time. I will also tighten my carbs even more. Im blown away. All these damn years feel like a waste. I slowly feel like I can hear better. Damn insulin resistance! 3 Reply tg tg tg tg 10 months ago (edited) I'm so glad that young American doctors are aware now about the wrong north American diet and I'm so hopeful they will be the one to bring the change!

My family tends toward diabetes in older age as well as hearing loss. I never supposed they might be connected by causation. On the other hand it put my mind at ease about a morning bg of 110. My goal is to be under 100 each morning, and have struggled to achieve that. I have compromised to a goal/practice of fasting until bg drops below 100. UPDATE:. (Age 71) Fasting until glucose dropped below 100 didn't work, because it didn't allow me to finish my eating time early enough, (I need to be done eating by 3 pm to maintain a long enough fasting time, have an empty stomach at bed time, and stay on a 24-hour cycle). Self-imposed parameters: *24-hour fasting eating cycle *18 hour or longer fasting period *Eat enough low carb calories to maintain energy yet discourage snacking. *Restrict calories and carbs enough to be under 100 fasting glucose. Gratitude to Bikman, Fung and others for educating me to be able to lose 50+ pounds and maintain for several years. 7 Reply 1 reply Soteria Charis Soteria Charis 9 months ago Amazing interview!!

Eventually that changed too and became very quite, almost non existent. I also used to have these incidents where I'd get a sudden loud tinnitus in one ear which would actually affect my balance momentarily. That no longer happens. 16 Reply 4 replies Cindi Hunter Cindi Hunter 3 months ago Say what? I had horrific issues with my ears as a young girl and terrible earaches!

However, It is difficult to get a total understanding fluently, when the levels are quoted in the US units of practice in, g/ dl as opposed to mmol/ l, as in Canada. I really wish our two countries would get together on this. It becomes as confusing as ⁰F and ⁰C. Never an issue of understanding hot and cold until the conversation expects you to transition simultaneusly in both units of measurement. When you are quoting 70, 80 and 90 etc. g/ dl, I'm stuck in conversion, trying to relate it to my Glucose levels in the range of 4.5- 5.5 mmol/ l. Lol, just trying to wrap my head around the units of measurement with out missing the context. It would be nice to see it charted, like looking at a tape measure that is providing both imperial inches and feet, and metric mm and cm units all showen on the same tape. Great conversation.

My fasting and average blood glucose was tending to run from mid 90s to mid 100s. One of two things or both seem to be causing this. Taking a multi vitamin and the Vitamin C level, 500 mg and or not eating enough low glycemic carbs. When i quit taking the Multi vitamin and eat more salad leafy greens, onion, peppers, olives. My theory is when the liver converts protein to glucose, the conversion level is higher than what we want for a basal blood glucose level. If you eat a modest amount of good low glycemic vegetables then the liver doesn’t have to convert the protein to glucose and then the pancreas can maintain a proper blood glucose level. Its like there is a liver pancreas disconnect when relying on gluconeogenisis. We shall see as in about a week i will take the vitamin again and see if the basal blood glucose goes up again. My blood sugar is now running mid 80s during the day right now and even down into the 70s during sleep.

I'm thinking that a small amount of fruit + fiber won't break an Intermittent Fast (at least I hope so) and will help with the Fructose / Glucose problems.

Help, hope! How Gut Bacteria Affects Blood Sugar - with Dr. Momo and Dr. Casey | Empowering Neurologist EP. 139 DavidPerlmutterMD 91.6K subscribers So much of our health depends on metabolism. And specifically, one of the most important players in this space is how well controlled is our blood sugar. In looking at blood sugar, how it changes following a meal turns out to be a central mechanism that has widespread implications both in the short term (how we feel today) and the long term (risk for serious health issues). I’m going to present a technical term here, postprandial glycemia, which you will hear mentioned quite a bit in this podcast. Postprandial means after a meal, and glycemic means blood sugar level. As such, we are exploring what happens to blood sugar after a meal, something we should all care about. Our guests today include Dr. Momo Vuyisich, Chief Science Officer at Viome. We will be discussing his fascinating new research that was able to accurately correlate the postprandial glycemic response with a unique measurement of the metabolic products produced by gut bacteria. Dr. Vuyisich was actually able to predict how people would respond to specific types of foods, in terms of their blood sugar response, by looking at these bacterial metabolic markers. In that measurement of glycemic response is so central to understanding this research, I’ve also invited Dr. Casey Means of Levels to join us on the program again. Levels is a company that focuses on using a new technology, continuous glucose monitoring, which allows us to fully understand how our glycemic response plays out in the face of our food and other lifestyle choices. This is an exciting program. Please enjoy! ==== Momo Vuyisich, PhD Co-founder and Chief Science Officer at Viome Momo is an entrepreneur-scientist who is obsessed with building a healthier future in which chronic diseases and cancers are covered in history books, not TV commercials.

You guys and Doctors like you are the real health care providers. 52 Reply 1 reply Asbestos Flake Asbestos Flake 11 months ago (edited) Both guests were absolutely amazing.

And the timing and quantity will be customized to the day of the week, seasons, exercise levels, age, hormone cycles etc. We need to also pair these technologies with evolutionary biology logic. 6 Reply bumblebill1 bumblebill1 11 months ago We are lucky to have access to such brilliant scientists.

If the gut can affect the mind in terms of causing depression can the mind affect the gut? 2 Reply 1 reply David MacPhail David MacPhail 6 months ago Great information that has connected a lot of dots for me. About 15 years ago, in the face of an explosion of excess body weight, obesity type 2 diabetes the Canadian government dismissed sugar as a factor based on a study that found sugar consumption in Canada was in decline in opposition to the upward trend of obesity and type 2 diabetes. The study turned out to be a $tudy because it only looked at sucrose, the common name for sugar. Fructose consumption was trending in lockstep with obesity and type 2 diabetes. But fructose is not table sugar. Reply Stephen A. Katz Stephen A. Katz 11 months ago Conceivably what you say about people's having different reactions to foods is true, although the glysemic (however it's spelled) index contains information that, I believe, provides much valuable guidance to people. But the male lecturer's claims, about knowing how to manipulate the microbiome, completely exceed what it is possible to do at this time. That is why Erika and Justin Sonnenburg recommend, eat fiber because it feeds and strengthens the micriobiota eat fermented foods because that increases microbiota diversity--and no other recommendation about the microbiota can be made at this time because not enough is known about how the bacteria and other components of the microbiota function. 2 Reply T S T S 9 months ago Im on the Levels waitlist, probably at the bottom. Just found out I'm APOE4/4 and am tumbling down the rabbit hole. Wish I could get my hands on continous glucose monitor without a Dr perscription. My dr told me not to worry about my sugars at 95 and not a peep on a major jump in cholesterol. So done with standard take a pill mentality. 4 Reply 2 replies Golda Rua Golda Rua 10 months ago Absolutely brilliant! 1 Reply Abdelilah BENAHMED Abdelilah BENAHMED 7 months ago The contribution of machine learning and artificial intelligence is immense but will never replace the intuition of a good medical doctor.

New Continuous Glucose Monitoring Innovation-with Dr.Casey Means | The Empowering Neurologist EP.125 DavidPerlmutterMD 91.6K subscribers Subscribed 348 Share 9,178 views May 31, 2021 Continuous Glucose Monitoring – A Powerful Tool for Metabolic Health As we have discussed so often, metabolic function is the central player for the entire body as it relates to health, disease resistance, and longevity. It is absolutely essential that we maintain normal blood glucose levels. Fortunately, we are learning more and more about how food choices and activities influence blood glucose, and this allows us to make important changes that can pave the way for health. Today, we are going to explore new technology, the continuous glucose monitor (CGM), with our guest Casey Means, MD. She is the founder of Levels, which is an incredibly sophisticated but also user-friendly platform using data from CGM monitoring devices to allow us to fully understand the effects of our lifestyle choices, in terms of how they play out as referenced by our blood sugar levels. This data, provided in real time, basically allows us to modify our lifestyle choices in order to have a significant positive effect on our health destiny. ==== Levels is currently running a closed beta program with a waitlist of over 115,000 people.

One of the issues with a keto diet is that many think they are following one when, in fact, all they are doing is adding fat to carbs from processed food. Wouldn't Biosense be both simpler/cheaper (no $150+/month prescription patch to come off in the shower) and more useful (validation of moderate ketosis is a more direct indicator of metabolic health) than continuous glucose monitoring? 4 Reply 1 reply S B S B 6 months ago Excellent video 1 Reply Harleigh Ostella Harleigh Ostella 1 year ago Where can I get a CGM without a prescription? 1 Reply Harleigh Ostella Harleigh Ostella 1 year ago How do i get a CGM without a prescription?

Reply 1 reply Understanding metabolic health with Dr. Casey Means WHOOP 18.8K subscribers Subscribe 240 Share 11,747 views Premiered Dec 3, 2021 Only 1 in 8 of Americans are considered metabolically healthy – a measure of your blood sugar, cholesterol, blood pressure, waist circumference and triglycerides – which is alarming considering metabolic dysfunction is the root cause of many chronic illnesses. Including heart disease, diabetes, and many others. Our VP of Performance Kristen Holmes sits down with Dr. Casey Means, a Stanford-trained physician and Chief Medical Officer and Co-Founder of the metabolic health company Levels, for an in-depth discussion on improving metabolic health. Dr. Means is on a mission to reverse the epidemic of preventable chronic disease, and that all starts with the right choices when it comes to your diet, sleep, exercise, and stress levels. This conversation started when the WHOOP and Levels teamed up for a study evaluating how blood glucose levels interact with sleep, exercise, and recovery. The study found that higher levels of sleep and lower measures of stress (resting heart rate https://www.whoop.com/thelocker/norma... and heart rate variability https://www.whoop.com/thelocker/heart... ) were associated with better metabolic health. The research also found that the previous day’s glucose management associates with sleep consistency the following day.
