Why We Get Sick w/ Dr Benjamin Bikman

Why We Get Sick w/ Dr Benjamin Bikman Saifedean Ammous 23.3K subscribers Subscribe 694 Share 17,422 views Aug 23, 2022 Are the world's most common illnesses caused by insulin resistance? In this episode, Dr Benjamin Bikman joins us to discuss his best-selling book “Why We Get Sick”. He argues that insulin resistance is at the heart of the world's most prevalent diseases and that poor economic incentives have caused scientists to neglect this phenomenon to pursue unproductive avenues of research. Dr Bikman explains how insulin resistance impacts conditions ranging from diabetes to Alzheimer’s and offers practical advice for listeners looking to improve their health. He also shares his views on broader issues such as the health impact of seed oils and sun exposure. 🕒👇🏼 00:00 Sponsors 02:00Introducing Dr Benjamin Bikman 03:30 Why do we get sick? 12:30 Conflicting interests in Modern Health care 26:58 This is how you can change your diet 30:00 Is eating in moderation the best way to go?? 33:00 Starting your day with the right food 34:00 Why People sleep poorly 43:50 Improving cognitive functions 48:00 Nothing is better than cutting down your sugar consumption 56:30 Discussing graduating in Science 01:06:10 The Problems of the university system - Writing something no one wants to read 01:14:10 Fat vs. Muscle Tissue and their Viral Consequences 01:16:16 Cooking Cheesecake with sugar and fats 1:19:08 The Lack of the federal system 01:29:00 How do research labs work? 01:30:28 The Death of Science, Bitcoin fixes this! 01:33:25 Statins 01:40:40 Discussing Seed oils 01:47:30 The Industrial revolution altered the way drugs, plants, and sugar is consumed 01:52:10 Sunbathing testicles 02:01:55 Reversing an insulin resistance 02:07:00 Vitamin D and sunlight 02:08:10 Does Sunscreen cause cancer? 02:16:50 End ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Dr Bikman on Twitter: https://twitter.com/BenBikmanPhD Why We Get Sick on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Why-We-Get-Sic...

Every doctor I know in my former country sought medical care in the US for themselves and their families. It wasn't the lack of good doctors. It's the lack of resources for those doctors, the inability to get your patients timely critical care and the limits on the care they can provide based on what the beancounters in Ottawa allow. Canadians are just as unhealthy as Americans but spend less on healthcare because the care amount and type is throttled. 2 Reply ROBERT ADAMS ROBERT ADAMS 3 months ago Ben Bikman is the Mr. Rogers of the scientific community, so for him to say he's ashamed of something says tons! 5 Reply Terry Cayea Terry Cayea 1 month ago Wonderful interview.

Reply Evelyn Mitchell Evelyn Mitchell 3 months ago I reduced my carbs the same way... 1 slice of toast instead of 2 with breakfast. Remove the club bun from my Big Mac, then the top bun a few months later on and on. Remove a scoop of pasta and put an extra helping of meat sauce or tomato's (this was in the beginning). Before I started reducing carbs I was always struggling with my weight, not fat but I was always chunky, fleshy. Now I am always slender, and sometimes struggle to put weight on, (unless I indulge in carbs). So now I'm trying to increase my animal fats to the point that my body has to store it. It's not easy. 1 Reply Jim Lynch Jim Lynch 3 months ago This is a must listen to, do it for your health 5 Reply vasenpolvi vasenpolvi 3 months ago Hey hey. My n of 1 about the sun burn issue. Did a low seed oil experiment and do confirm seed oil role in inflammation. Heard it from tucker and tested it to the max. The way this was done was when i was already on keto. Even on LCHF I did get sun burn easiy as ever before and then the next year I did it with no seed oil full monty, even by exluding all non ruminant animal fats from the diet and ate pure ruminant carnivore that year and no no restaurant eating. My food was all self cooked Doing this, I did not get sun burn ever no matter how long I spent under the sun at the most radiant times possible in the early spring season. The difference is like day and night so must say it absolutely matters how much 4HNE your body stores in your epidermis. Best yet If you drink a cup of sunflower oil or eat a pound of pork fat, this will reverse everything in a day. It took a whole year to get back on track ie. into no sunburn mode. It is this serious. Ben, I do not belive you too have done this experiment. Sorry no disrespect here. 3 Reply 1 reply Evelyn Mitchell Evelyn Mitchell 3 months ago The only time I had trouble from the sun was when I tried to use sunscreen, I was about 24 to 25 yrs old, (yes sunscreens were new).

Now would some one put in order the connection and relation of this list: Physiological insulin resistance in the fat cell AND in the presence of saturated fat thus a lot of superoxide signal indicatin a strong FADH2/NADH <0.5 but >0.45 Pathological insulin sensitivity in fat cells ie. F/N <0.45 due to PUFA linoleic acid overload distroying this metabolic evolutionary switch on energy substrates. Is this also same as the Randle ie. carbohydrate fatty acid cycle gone bust and reactive oxygen signal broken by seed oils? Or a different thing perhaps, what?

Jim McKay Jim McKay 1 year ago 4 years keto. I am to the point where I never weigh myself. I never count calories or measure the food I eat. I just trust my body and eat when I am hungry. There are times where I will easily do a 20 hour fast without thinking about it simply because I have no hunger pangs. This works for me. Hopefully everybody else finds what works best for them.

I got them to order it anyway. Yes, fasting insulin is pulsatile and it does vary over a 15 minute time period but within a fairly narrow range so it's still useful as a marker. ETA: good to hear him talk about fasting insulin in conjunction with TG/HDL ratio. First time I've heard him mention that fact. 6 Reply Diamond 482 Diamond 482 1 year ago My wife and I have been full keto for over 2 years, but once every 4 months I have a donut 😁.

I would love to hear more about the recommended 1:1 ration of fat and protein. How would that change the macro rations and would that still be a keto diet? 6 Reply Kim Leon-Guerrero Kim Leon-Guerrero 1 year ago (edited) Excellent interview but I wish you had talked about those of us who have been insulin resistant and type two diabetic for 20+ years. I’ve been keto/ketovore for 10 months and eating under 20 closer to 10 grams or less of carbs but still having blood sugars in the 200’s some of the time. Perhaps my being 65 and being on insulin prior to keto for 4 years has made me so insulin resistant that I’m permanently damaged ? It’s very frustrating when you are being so disciplined that you continue to see glucose so high. I will stay the course regardless and pray I can heal my body and repair the damage. I should add that I do 18 hours a day of intermittent fasting and also extended fasts of up to 72 hours. I also walk 35-45 mins each morning. Any insights would be appreciated. Also I have read Dr. Bickmans book. 11 Reply 4 replies Jim Clark Senior Jim Clark Senior 1 year ago Found this presentation very helpful. Great questions and totally agreed with the doctors answers.

According to Professor Ben Bikman, it likely is. And he should know. Professor Bikman is a scientist and researcher who specializes in insulin and its effects on our health. In his new book, Why We Get Sick, Dr. Bikman makes a case for why we need to target insulin levels to improve global health. As you’ll hear him say, lifestyle choices can cause insulin resistance, and they can cure it, too. The tools are at our disposal; we just need to know what they are and how to use them. Dr. Bikman speaks with a combination of authority and humility that’s rare in today’s world of soundbites. I appreciate his expertise and his approach, and I hope you will as well.

I wondered many times how many millions of lives will he save by shifting the paradigm on diabetes and the perception we have of insulin? Tens of millions? Hundreds? Certainly over time. Of course to that many others contribute, from health coaches to doctors and dietitians that similarly contributed to changing outdated attitudes in the medical establishment, but research professors have a special place among them for providing the explanations and the evidence all the rest use to proliferate the knowledge.

I am 69 years old. thanks for such an excellent interview 70 Reply 4 replies Only Human Only Human 1 year ago I am doing fasting with low carb and it works.OMAD helps me with my insulin resistance. The key is I eat even less than I ate before now and much less carbs. I lowered my calorie intake. Feeling full is not easy when you have insulin resistance. So eating only once is much easier for me. I feel full and stop eating. So I eat half of what I was eating before I started OMAD. I eat very few carbs. I feel so good after around 18-19 hours of fasting. I am doing this to get rid of my insulin resistance and the infections that it is causing in my body. 35 Reply 5 replies Waterdancer Waterdancer 2 months ago Two of my favorite YouTube teachers.

Thanks y'all. 2 Reply Karen C'ski Karen C'ski 1 year ago The scenario that you mention at the end where OMAD becomes a mini binge was me when I first started. I knew it wasn't ideal, but it was better than eating ("sugar") all day and it was what I could manage at that time. Gradually it is improving as I get more educated and healthier, without me having to try really too hard. It's a mistake to assume our long term results will be based on how good or bad our plan is when we first start out. Do what you can, even if it's a little. If you have to promise yourself a high carb reward to get through your first ten 20- hour fasts, who cares? Just gradually keep trying to do better when you are able. As they say, the perfect is the enemy of the good. 7 Reply Lucie G Lucie G 1 year ago (edited) Awesome interview, thank you dr. Scher and prof. Bikman! Just a note: if you do time restricted eating/IF/OMAD combined with LC for a while a do it correctly, e. g. you are fat adapted, your hunger and cravings go away. When you then eat nutritionaly dense food and quality protein and fats, it is actually hard to overdo => satiating effect of protein and fat. Your hormones kick-in and your body tells you when to stop. You just have to watch for meal timing and like Prof. Bikman said, don’t eat right before bed. Finish at least 2 hours or more before sleeping. 21 Reply 10 replies Sherri Chen Sherri Chen 1 year ago As always I love Prof. Bikman's knowledge on insulin. I also brought his book. I just want to touch on OMAD. I have been doing intermittent fasting for decades. It used to called skipping meals. But anyway, I find that Your body don't allow OMAD Binge because you actual get fuller faster when eating OMAD. It is when you allow few hours of eating your OMAD that can cause binge. So, if you pile up a table full of food only eating as much as you can til you feel full, you will not binge comparing to allowing yourself few hours to eat a meal. 9 Reply 1 reply Samuel Laysico Samuel Laysico 5 months ago This is to me the best explanation of insulin resistant.

Reply MimiDidi MimiDidi 1 year ago I had PCOS which caused diabetes as an older adult. At 50 I had a vertical sleeve gast. I got to the goal weight of 150lbs (I'm 5'8"). However, the fat had been so severely redistributed that even now I've got way too much fat between the bellybutton and breasts. I'm very small from bellybutton down. I've also got end-stage Ankylosing Spondylitis. Mine went from fused si joints to C1 and worked its way down. I'm hyperkyphotic and fused from T12-C1, so I'm limited on using any exercise equipment that could cause a fall, like a treadmill, for example, so I mostly lost the weight through calorie and carb restriction. Although my A1C has been in the 5s for the last few years ( insert happy dance here). I've wondered if I started some sort of cardio AND went back on metformin, if it would assist in getting rid of the inner tube around my upper abdomen. It took 2+ years to take off 120lbs, post menopausal! Now I've still got an ugly body that I can't dress like a thin person. I wear a 2 or 4 on the bottom and a large or extra large on the top. Between that and my AS making me look like the bride of Quasimodo, it's discouraging! Speaking of PCOS, every woman in my Ankylosing Spondylitis support group that has advanced AS ( present as a man with the disease has PCOS). I found that fascinating. So did my Rheumatologist.

I am looking more into these concepts you are presenting. 😊 Reply Perry Sebastian Perry Sebastian 1 year ago The discussion briefly went over fasting and the minimun dose. If I may add to the conversation, I have been getting weekly blood tests intermixed with no fasting, 12 hr fasting, 36 hr fasting, and 84 hr fasting. I tracked exercise and belatedly started tracking sleep and energy levels. Within my N=1 study, I have noticed that HDL and TG don't really response to fasting dose. Neither does hs-CRP, but hs-CRP does appear to respond to exercise prior to the blood draw. Uric acid increases 30-50% by stretching a 36 hr fast to 84 hrs. While it was initially confusing, the biggest effects of fasting dose appear to be on LDL - more specifically, particle count and mix of particles. LDL needs to be cross correlated with the white cell count, because LDL is performing an immune response, too (a higher white cell count will lower the LDL particle count). With steady white cell counts, my LDL particles will increase by roughly 30% from a 36-hr dose to a 84-hr dose. This is partially confounded by the exercise dose prior to the blood draw, because the number of VLDL particle jump up - because obviously in a ketogenic fasted state, VLDL is the only energy delivery mechanism to the muscle cells. For the longer dose of 84-hrs the greatest increase in LDL particles seems to be in the small and medium size particles, but VLDL still increased by more that 20% Reply Arvind Bhave Arvind Bhave 5 months ago This discussion is a gem!

Thanks for inviting Prof. Ben Bikman. Reply UpwindStrategy UpwindStrategy 1 year ago (edited) Really great interview! To the question « what is the common link between insuline and all modern diseases », I think the question deserves more attention and I can think of other common links as the « growth promotion » that was mentionned: 1. Insuline is inflammatory by itself, and inflammation causes degradation and faster aging and dieases like cancer through cell degradation 2. The body overly relying on glucose forgets how to burn fat, which in turn leads to less mitochondria, which in turn leads to less cell respiration and more fermentation, which is the energy fuel of cancer 3. Glucose depletes us from vitamines and minerals, and reduces our immune system strenght (glucose has priority for vitamine C transport for example) making us more vulnerable to viruses 4. The glycation damage caused by glucose and overeating over the long run 5. The constant inhibition of certain hormones and processes like autophagy that can’t be active at the same time as insuline 6. The impact of glucose itself on our stress and anxiety levels, worsened sleep which in turn increase insuline (my theory is that the body and brain senses that there is a lot of inflammation going on and he freaks out with anxiety that can be felt in the brain and phisically in the upper chest area). 7. Obesity makes people physically less active which in turn makes that the energy in the system is not used quicly enough to prevent glycation processes 8. Insuline promotes glucose storage in places where it can be available as a source of energy for bad bacteria, viruses and cancer 9. Insuline makes us blind to the fat that could be burned which means the body sees only the calories we eat which in turn reduces the metabolism as soon as people are reducing their calories intake if they are not at the same time in low insuline- ketosis state as their body thinks that they are in starvation while at the same time having hundreds of thousands of calories at their disposal but unable to tap them because of insuline and metabolism reduction leads to less calories burning overall, reduction in muscle mass correlated with higher death rates 10. Insuline being an emergency process of glucose storage in cells to avoid comma for our brain, it also makes us hungry a lot more quickly as the energy was not available long enough in the blood to give us a constant source of energy throughout the day, which leads to more food consumption as we get hungry too quickly, the switch off mechanism of insuline being very long when we are insuline resistant. 2 Reply Pat Comly Pat Comly 1 year ago Great information.

Like we see that the vast majority of overweight and probably almost all of the obese people are insulin resistent and you cannot get there via eating too much fat and protein unless of course you're gonna eat fast food (so low micronutrient foods) but honestly even there you'll always get carbs alongside. Now it's still possible to overeat fat if you've got leptin resistence or if you're an emotional eater but then you'll just gain some weight and perhaps increase your blood triglycerides but you won't ever get insulin resistence that way. And protein... still not possible by eating foods, perhaps possible if you're consuming protein powders?

Thanks for your clarity, honesty, and commitment to discovering the truth about health and nutrition. On a practical, n-of-1, clinical note, I want to confirm the dangers of OMAD in the evening. If you have children, dinner is an important time to share a family meal. However, now that our kids are grown and we are retired, my wife and I have found that we feel best if we get up with the sun, go for a long walk in nature, eat breakfast around 9 AM, eat dinner around 2 PM, and turn out the lights by 10 PM. This rhythm feels natural, and produces the most refreshing sleep and the best digestion. When we do eat a big meal too close to bedtime, our body doesn't know whether to focus on rest and repair or on digestion, and both suffer.

Reply Stephan C Stephan C 1 year ago (edited) Re Cortisol and insulin resistance. I recently had 5 days off travelling 3 hours to a beautiful country location and felt extremely relaxed. I noticed my fasting glucose went down by .6 mmol to 4.2 while away. As soon as I came back to the big smoke it went back up by .6 mmol to 4.8. My guess is Cortisol. 10 Reply 3 replies Eszter Horvath Eszter Horvath 1 year ago Dr Scher und Dr.Bikman, great video with all the problems of today and all the solution, it is so good, easy explained.

That would be the best of both the research and clinical worlds. Reply Ben Nguyen Ben Nguyen 1 year ago If one adheres to a low-carb/keto diet, is there any downside to being metabolically inflexible (aka glucose intolerant)? I understand one is not insulin resistant, but does just having prolonged/elevated blood-glucose (after eating a mixed-meal) cause any issues? Also, does this mean that insulin is not being produced in sufficient amounts.. if so, does that have any negative long-term consequence? Or is the idea that it's always best to not have much insulin? Do I understood correctly that omega-3 and 6 are polyunsaturated fatty acids, but it's only the Linoleic acid that signals (via insulin) for fat cells to grow.. until they become resistant, and STOP growing? Do omega-6s/Linoleic acid have any positive role? For example, on Dr. Bill Harris' talk with Chris Masterjohn, he suggests omega-6 metabolites are anti-inflammatory, however if one does not get enough omega-3s (~4g a day), even if rancid, then the body resorts to arachidonic acid (an omega-6) as a substrate to make prostaglandins.. and this leads to inflammation! Robert Lustig talks about how obesity is a symptom, not the cause of metabolic dysfunction (diabetes and high triglycerides). He cites how 20% of obese people are Metabolically Healthy Obese (MHO) and 40% of normal weight people (67M) have type-2 diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular dementia, etc. He is studying how insulin resistance in the liver disrupts the FOXO phosphorylation pathway but not always the SREBP-1c pathway!! He suggests a different macro-nutrient as the villain: fructose. Regarding meal-timing, I've read that melatonin binds to the pancreas to signal less insulin production.. and that post-prandial glucose levels are always lowest in the morning.. yet Adel Moussa suggests it's a misinterpretation of the data, and that we are actually LESS insulin sensitive in the morning (see the Szotak Andrei's Muscle Engineer Podcast #16 (31m)). What does Ben think? Finally, I understand Ben suggests FAT cells are the 'first domino' to fall in insulin resistance.. any thoughts on Gerald Shulman's work, that suggests MUSCLE cells, are the first cell types to become insulin-resistant? He suggests the mitochondrial oxidation slows-down leading to fatty acids entering the muscle cells and inhibiting the uptake of insulin/glucose (DAG->PKCtheta->IRS-1->PI 3-kinase->GLUT4). The insulin resistance then spreads to the the muscle, and finally the liver (GLUT2). 2 Reply 1 reply Sensei Juan Sensei Juan 1 year ago Great practical advice Reply Druxmans Druxmans 1 year ago Regarding insulin resistance: i assume that i am insulin resistant because i am T2D but i am on a super low carb diet so i don't expect to be hyperinsulinemic.

If someone were to strength train or do HIIT in a fasted state ( 16 hrs plus ) and then break their fast with an 800 to 1,000 calorie meal within the low carb spectrum, would that meal be considered binge eating and too many calories to break the fast with? Also if they ate another meal consisting of the same amount of calories and ketogenic style foods 4 to 5 hours later and the last meal was more than 3 hours before the person goes to sleep, Would this be a good regimen for fasting windows ?

Reply Diet Doctor · 1 reply Mr Mr 10 months ago When you eat after exercise, there is no time for the body to convert fat back to glucose to replenish exercise induced depletion of glycogen storages in liver and muscles. This is like having high insulin levels constantly. Prolonged inactivity causes muscle degeneration and reduced glycogen storage capacity. Exercise induced muscle hypertrophy plus doubling the glycogen storage capacity. When the store is full, no more glucose can be accepted. When the fat cells are engorged, they are not only became resistant to insulin but also start breaking down triglycerides to avoid bursting. The fat cells are also releasing inflammatory cytokines. Insulin is a large molecule but high levels do contribute to increased osmotic pressure. This is even worse in the case of sugars be it glucose, galactose or fructose. Their many hydroxyl groups binds water and interacts with other polar molecules thus increase the blood viscosity and thus blood pressure. Interaction with lactins on blood vessels and linking proteins adds insults. Fructose can only be metabolized by the liver and be converted into fat only. This causes fatty liver, high LDL, fat tissue growth and insulin resistance. Reply Marsha Wright Marsha Wright 11 months ago So how have they saying that high blood pressure is caused by too much salt?! Reply capnden capnden 1 year ago A lot of good stuff here but too much insulin can not be the root cause of insulin resistance. Serum insulin level, just like serum glucose and insulin resistance are dependent variables and cannot be a root cause. The root cause of all three has got to be an independent variable that was nor a consideration 100 years ago because T2DM and obesity was not a problem until recent times. This could be Fructose consumption or seed oil consumption or something we haven't considered yet. It is not carbohydrates because high carb diets in the past have not caused these problems we see today. Reply 1 reply S W S W 10 months ago Hyperinsulinemia = insulin resistance.

"A scientist reveals the groundbreaking evidence linking many major diseases, including cancer, diabetes, and Alzheimer’s disease, to a common root cause—insulin resistance—and shares an easy, effective plan to reverse and prevent it. We are sick. Around the world, we struggle with diseases that were once considered rare. Cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and diabetes affect millions each year; many people are also struggling with hypertension, weight gain, fatty liver, dementia, low testosterone, menstrual irregularities and infertility, and more. We treat the symptoms, not realizing that all of these diseases and disorders have something in common. Each of them is caused or made worse by a condition known as insulin resistance. And you might have it. Odds are you do—over half of all adults in the United States are insulin resistant, with most other countries either worse or not far behind. In Why We Get Sick, internationally renowned scientist and pathophysiology professor Benjamin Bikman explores why insulin resistance has become so prevalent and why it matters. Unless we recognize it and take steps to reverse the trend, major chronic diseases will be even more widespread. But reversing insulin resistance is possible, and Bikman offers an evidence-based plan to stop and prevent it, with helpful food lists, meal suggestions, easy exercise principles, and more. Full of surprising research and practical advice, Why We Get Sick will help you to take control of your health."

This explains a lot of stuff clearly and simply. Have just bought and downloaded the book! 10 Reply April's accountability account April's accountability account 2 years ago (edited) loved when he mentioned urea being high towards the end. . When I started feeling horrible on carnivore.. I was a bit too lean (not enough fat on me) heck, I was underweight and was eating lots of organ meats (not alot of fat , pretty lean) and although I was cooking my meat in butter and animal fat, it probably wasn't enough. My urea was extremely high. Hmm...now my urea is normal and i am actually eating fattier cuts of meat bc I feel better eating that way. Perhaps that is why! Also loved how he mentioned about fasting. I was able to fast for 5 days when I started my weight loss journey, it was easy. Now I can only do omad bc I am too lean. And definately don't want my body to get at my muscle. I felt like a fail bc I had to go to omad from extended fasts. After listening to this, I don't. going lowcarb, helped keep my insulin low and fasting was succesful! Now I go to omad, keep low carb and will continue to be successful for life bc I am keeping my insulin LOW! 22 Reply Live Your Own Fit · 2 replies jflcreate jflcreate 1 year ago Real pearls of wisdom on ageing gracefully - thank you Dr. Bikman!! 5 Reply Teah Eichler Teah Eichler 7 months ago I seriously love this interview… I keep rewatching this!!! 3 Reply Just My Opinion Just My Opinion 2 years ago Thank you, Dr Bikman.

Due to differences in RBC turnover among people, I've heard A1C (<5.5) is not a good marker (Irl Hirsch).. is that true? Can a cardiovascular health marker ( ex. Triglycerides / HDL < 1) indicate anything about one's metabolic/insulin health? If getting blood work, are there any often neglected tests that one should ask for? For example, I've seen videos recommending them, but would knowing the results of any of these provide any tangible action because of it: uric acid (< 5mg/dL), Magnesium RBC (>6), Blood Uric Acid (<5mg/dl), Vit. D (50 ng/ml), Vit. B12 homo-cysteine < 6mcmol/L, hsCRP (< .7), ALT/AST/ GGT (<15 U/L), TSH 0.5-2.5 (fT3 > 3, fT4 > .7)? Testosterone (> 600), free-Testosterone (> 25) (Dr. Abraham Morgentaler suggests TRT should be considered if calculated-free-testosterone is less than 100pcg/ml) For example Chris Kresser suggests: Transferrin (30-40%) , ferritin levels of 80-100 ng/mL. (the usual 'Iron Saturation' test, can be used as a close proxy for Transferrin, but only if you've had your Transferrin measured at least once, and the following formula holds true: 'Iron Saturation' = ( Serum Iron / Transferrin ) *.79; 3 Reply 4 replies Terrie M Terrie M 1 year ago This could make my blood pressure go down.

Mechanism would be not insulin causes insulin resistance, but accumulation of energy substrates make cells resistance to insulin.

Drake Santiago Drake Santiago 2 years ago If only more college professors displayed the talent for elucidating their subject matter in the clear and engaging way that Dr. Bikman does , more and more students would take a genuine interest in the sciences. I subscribe to multiple YouTube channels related to low carb, and multiple podcasts on Spotify that pertain to low carb, and whenever Dr. Bikman is the featured speaker I never miss a chance to listen to him. Rarely do I give a thumbs up to a presentation BEFORE listening to it. However, given Dr. Bikman's consistent track record of always teaching me something new, and doing it in such a memorable way, I went ahead and I am giving it a thumbs before I even hit play. I am sure I won't be disappointed. 123 Reply 4 replies John Madany John Madany 2 years ago Thanks Ben, love your work! As a family practice doctor occasionally working in our urgent care clinic I always look at the weight graph on patients. If I notice a rapid weight gain I figure out someway to check their insulin level. Rapid weight gain could be a sign of “peak insulin“. Insulin levels consistently come back elevated. I hypothesize that the next step clinically is a plateauing of the weight and rising of the blood sugar. 20 Reply 1 reply Maria Italiano Maria Italiano 1 year ago My hero, Ben! Such a great teacher, educator and I am a big big fan of all your work, indeed your passion and intent to make us understand our health at such a fundamental level. Your book, which I own, should be mandatory reading at every diabetic clinic and medical interview; but what if we could introduce this learning in the classroom...now that would be a real game changer for our society. As an educator myself in the secondary system, I can perceive a better way, but fear it will take decades for this to even be a consideration for the education system.

It’s not a glucose eraser, but an enabler to place or use. I believe the adipose tissue is the first is because that’s our large storage facility. If you can’t create additional fat cells, there is no place for glucose to go. You can keep filling a tank beyond the ability to use it. At some point the tank becomes full, then the reserve tanks.

Reply Annlee Hines Annlee Hines 2 years ago Two questions, please: 1. What drives the accumulation of ceramides? 2. Prior discussions of obesity (which is certainly strongly associated with T2DM) have postulated that adipose accumulates because it maintains insulin sensitivity longer than muscle, and so excess energy is able to be stored rather than continuing to circulate, searching for a home (as it were). Why do you suggest that adipose loses IS first? Is that in the PMIDs listed?

The work I do with - insulin resistant patients seems to me to show- based on focusing on reducing their insulin levels- to be the trigger the body needs to trigger glucagon to reactivate and cause the utilization of stored energy. I would dearly love to see the name Type 2 diabetes changed to Hyperinsulinemia As this would change the approach to the treatment of the syndrome dramatically. Which at the moment medicates the patients as if they were TYPE 1 Diabetics raising insulin even higher to the point they become INSULIN TOXIC I would love to hear your response to this - to clarify for me my response as a nurse involved in trying to improve metabolic response.

This progressed to eventual Primary Biliary Cirrhosis of the Liver. She had a transplant 5 years ago and now the new liver has been diagnosed with fatty liver. She eats tons of sugar and is still overweight. Do you think there is an association with insulin resistance and this disease?

How do we control them? 2 Reply 1 reply Ben Nguyen Ben Nguyen 2 years ago It would seem that the usual characteristic of obesity for a type 2 diabetic, suggests the adipose tissue are insulin *SENSITIVE*, and are quite effective in storing energy. But if muscle sinks up to 80% of the blood glucose, how much is the liver and pancreas each responsible for? Since the liver makes fat and glucose.. but is the fat the liver makes the Ceramide type.. or is that only generated locally in the fat/muscle/pancreas tissues? For example, how do you address the 2 non-hyperinsulinemia pathways of becoming insulin resistant : Cortisol and Inflammation? What are healthy numbers for glucagon, fasting / postprandial insulin levels? And can these numbers report normal, and still be at risk towards increasing insulin-resistance->t2d? 2 Reply Marans Candy Marans Candy 2 years ago Does K2 help insulin resistance and increase testosterone by increasing the amount of osteocalcin made by the bones?

Is this because my body is insufficient at producing enough insulin for the increase (no history of diabetes)? Are zero-carbers making their bodies insulin-resistant or insulin-insufficient? How would that be ideal in those hunter-gatherer times of not having sufficient fatty proteins and needing to forage/depend also on plants and still thrive? Also, some docs say high fat protocols can lead to T2.

Please review all your references to ascertain if any of them made a mistake I have been finding in published literature. When folks discuss glucagon & insulin, some are not making a clear distinction between biological & biochemical processes that occur inside of cells versus processes that occur between the pancreas & target organs. Hence the liver may not be "fat" any longer but still people do not completely resolve all the metabolic dysfunction that is sitting behind the diagnosis of type 2 diabetes. The processes happening inside of pancreatic cells? Those doing cell research & growing pancreas cells in medium are finding some findings to indicate insulin abundance is stopping insulin secretion via beta cells. Dr. Jim Johnson & Dr. Barbara Corkey have both published some very interesting information on this phenomenon. 1 Reply Aniko Lodi Aniko Lodi 2 years ago Which tissues don't need insulin at all?

I was able to do this all on a Carnivore Diet, and this video proves why it worked so well for me. I was able to maintain excellent muscle density up to the show, and maintain good energy up until about 30 days close to the show (I don't care who you are, that's normal.)

An amazing lecturer, amazing visual aids, amazing teacher, amazing information. Thank you Dr. Bikman and LCDU! I "got into" diet and health eleven years ago when I went paleo, I was obese. I've read probably 3000 quality articles about diet and health, most peer reviewed. As of late, add Youtube videos. With the information in this video, suddenly SO many things talked about out there in the community make sense. Why the carnivore diet works, way way more than just elimination of carbs. It so happens that I've come to his final suggestions on my own, via my long, long winding road over the last decade. Being 73, I know to keep my protein up. My target minimum is 120g/day. That's about 1.5g/kg BW. (Quick alternate calculation: Take your ideal body weight in pounds, divide by 2. The result is about 25% more than the usual g/kg/BW calculation, but it's probably safer. That's minimum. Multiply by 1.2-1.5 for a good protein intake that lets you then eat more fats.) Something I've never seen clarified is WHAT body weight? Obviously a 300 pound person shouldn't be eating 270 g/day of protein. I presume that fat cells have no protein requirement, right? So, I use "ideal weight." One could also use calculated lean mass and adjust accordingly. I've been taking L-Acetylcarnitine sporadically, mixing the powder int scrambled eggs, for "egg"zample. Now it appears that it should be taken during my daily IF. I'm going to take some before I go to bed and again in the morning. Based on that one chart, my glucagon should skyrocket!

I didn't avoid carbs and was surprised how good it worked. I was afraid to go full keto and loved my sweets at that time. I was around 80 carbs per day. 150 g protein and 80 grams of fat. This is a guess. But if you compress your eatting window time, you will get into your fat buring state. If you feel bad. Adjust salt. Eat some carbs with the meal. But try to cut them down. or switch them for more complex. If you were broken like i was. It takes time. Trust the process. But if you feel super bad or low energy. Talk to a nutritionist that truly understands keto or low carb. And if they say red meat is bad. RUN AWAY. I went to the Doc last week and she said. Oh i only recommend the mediterreanian diet. it's mostly vegitarian. Just a little meat. I said nope. I'm low carb high fat. Blood work and BP and energy says it's right for me.

Reply VS Rao VS Rao 4 months ago (edited) First of all we all should thank Dr. Bikman for sharing this wonderful masterpiece on Insulin/Glucagon ratio leading to Ketogenesis and contextual impact of protein intake. There is so much information out there on the Internet on insulinotropic effect of Proteins and why protein should be avoided on a Low Carb/Fasting mode. Coming from a professor whose research primarily is on Insulin/Insulin resistance, this information is straight from horse's mouth, fully supported by science. I have watched this video 5-6 times before but that was when I was not following Ketogenic diet ( I am a vegetarian - so find it very difficult to manage a low carb diet). My best try at ketogenesis was thru Intermittent fasting and my Ketone levels never exceeded 0.3 and most days it was not traceable! Just a month back, I started with fasting and water fasted for 5 days and on 4th day of fasting, my ketone levels reached 4.5 - it was pure bliss and a sense of accomplishment, that I finally trained my body to use Fat as a fuel after 10-12 years - metabolically flexible. I lost 6 kilograms in just 5 days, tough that was not the main goal. I followed up the 5 day fasting with 1 meal a day for 7 days and mostly ate low carb - mostly low carb nuts, whey protein, cucumbers and cabbage, MCT oil and ghee (clarified butter). However, noticed that my Ketone reading dropped to 0.8 and I also gained back 3 kilograms. I started suspecting whey protein for the drop in Ketone levels and again got into the dilemma of whether to include protein in diet or not. Again watched this video and it feels so reassuring now that I can keep eating my protein. Dr. Bikman cautions on including more protein for people who are insulin resistant and prediabetic (that I am) in the beginning. I will start with small portions and will start measuring ketone levels to make sure how my body is responding. Million thanks Dr. Bikman and wish I was your student!!! Reply Appleblade Appleblade 4 years ago (edited) Great summary comment at 21:30 ... meaning, the reason low carb fed people don't need to worry protein is going to cause an insulin spike ... if our biology was set up that way, a fasted hunter gatherer finding some meat wouldn't be able to eat it without becoming hypoglycemic. 5 Reply Jo-Han Toong Jo-Han Toong 4 years ago Brilliant talk, thanks! 1 Reply Maaifoedie De La Rey Maaifoedie De La Rey 4 years ago What a fantastic presentation, I found I could follow it despite not being a scientist :) Though I do have a question, that I never get an answer to : Towards the end, the statement was made, that the correct pathway to putting the diet together, is to first control carbs to a max of around 50 grams, then deal with the proteins at 1 to 2 grams per kg bodyweight, finally finishing off the remaining calories to target with fats. This is of course correct for most people. My question : What if the (obese) individual has fatty liver (NAFLD)? Since the fatty liver (which reversal is top priority) is already overloaded with existing fat, shouldn't the emphasis be to keep the protein at that stated level (ensuring glucagon levels), but to increase carbs beyond the 50 gram level, but only with the kind of food like cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli, spinach etc, which is known to help clear the liver from its fat, and then accordingly reduce the fats to get to the same overall caloric intake target?

Decided to buy a glucose tester 'CareTouch' (Amazon's recommended) to find out for sure, at least for me, that eating a shit ton of protein doesn't spike blood sugar. Day 1 (a non-lifting day) I tested after 16 hours overnight fasting, glucose was 77. (That's about perfect according to this guy: http://100down.org/doing-keto-consider-buying-a-blood-glucose-meter/) Drank 4 Budweiser 55's, blood glucose an hour later was 84. Ate about a 12oz Ribeye, 6 slices of gouda cheese, and a large avocado. An hour later, glucose was 79. Quit testing after that; probably should have kept going for a few hours. Anyway, today... expecting a big reading after a hard, full-body weight lifting session (gluconeogenesis is demand driven?), I lifted, drove home, ate a 12oz package of bacon, 6 eggs, another avocado, and 50g macadamia nuts. An hour later, glucose was ... 84. Another hour later, glucose was ...88. Another hour later, glucose was ... 97. Next hour 91. 1.5 hours later, 80. So ... don't rely on my numbers ($30 for a glucose testing kit), but I have to say kind of relieved to find GNG is working in my body, and seems to be responding to the kind of work I'm doing (mid rep range heavy lifting ... which requires glycogen restocking).

Reply Joe Random Joe Random 1 year ago I think I've discovered something that doesn't necessarily contradict this, however it kind of shows that there is more to the story and you shouldn't just slam down protein carelessly. When you eat protein it still spikes insulin since. However, there appears to be a bit of lag time before glucagon activates and restores everything. What I'm suggesting is that the insulin wins the race here at first, and you're left with reactive hypoglycemia before glucagon kicks in. It doesn't necessarily kick you out of ketosis, but it does have a pretty nasty transient effect. Everytime I overeat protein during heightened insulin sensitivity (ie: deep ketosis) this phenomenon occurs. I believe it's because the two hormones follow this event chain.

Reply 1 reply Ben Nguyen Ben Nguyen 3 years ago (edited) So the S.A.D. Insulin:Glucagon ratio of 4 represents someone who is in a fasted state, but has chronically elevated glucose due to diet? If so, what fasting glucose/insulin levels would predict how your I:G ratio will respond upon eating? Alternatively, is there any way to infer one's Insulin:Glucagon ratio (i.e. energy needs) after a meal since measuring directly doesn't seem probable? And is the issue with 'refeeding syndrome' that the metabolic costs required after eating, will pull more key nutrients from the already-depleted blood? If so, what should be the approach, plenty of salts/minerals with the meal? Also enjoyed the points about points about how erythrocyte (Red-Blood-Cells) don't have a mitochondria, and therefore can only use glucose for energy.. and Glucagon needs carnitine to transport fatty acids into the liver for the production of ketones! 1 Reply Rangan Bandyopadhyay Rangan Bandyopadhyay 4 years ago It sounds like there is a limit of protein intake.

Protein and Fat seemingly regardless of ratio, maintain the low ratio of 1.3 by being low carb diets. In fact it may push the advantage onto carnivore because of ensuring carnitine levels and glucagon levels remain high with the higher protein, and maintains lean body mass.

Ketogenic conventional wisdom dictates that excess protein creates gluconeogenesis in excess and therby getting kicked out of ketosis. I follow a strict carnivore diet with ZERO carbs.

He is currently a professor of pathophysiology and a biomedical scientist at Brigham Young University in Utah. Dr. Bikman's professional focus as a scientist and professor is to better understand chronic modern-day diseases, with a special emphasis on the origins and consequences of obesity and diabetes, with an increasing scrutiny of the pathogenicity of insulin and insulin resistance. He frequently publishes his research in peer-reviewed journals and presents at international science meetings. Dr. Bikman has long been an advocate of a ketogenic diet in light of the considerable evidence supporting its use as a therapy for reversing insulin resistance. His website InsulinIQ.com promotes dietary clarity, healing, and freedom through evidence-based science about insulin resistance. Employing cell-autonomous to whole-body systems, Dr. Bikman's recent efforts have focused on exploring the intimate associations between the metabolic and immune systems.

I wish when I was in university, years ago, that every science professor could have had the explanatory ability that he does. He is not only a great speaker, he makes it a point to always offer new insight in the area of metabolism. Far too often, after listening to hundreds of lectures from low carb doctors and researchers, you hear the same thing with a few variations and a few extra details. All three presentations that Dr. Bikman has given - the dynamics of brown fat, the role of glucagon in mitigating the insulinogenic effect of protein, and now the effects of ketones on the robustness of the cell/and ketones energy efficiency - always presents something novel.

One reason I am afraid to attack fasting or keto is fear of adaptive thermogenesis... which has happened so many times to me and stopped my ability to lose weight. With this information -- that Insulin slows the metabolism, I feel more confident in attacking it. It also tells me perhaps why every time I go off a diet I gain weight so fast... I spend 6 months or more having my body reduce its metabolism because of calorie restriction and then, when I go off.. I invariably eat carbs -- and that further slows the metabolism. Could this be why some people can take years to recover their metabolism? When I was at a diet program they showed me clinical studies that showed that people did NOT have lasting metabolic reduction from their diet... but now, thinking back, the catch was that you had to continue eating the diet food for "maintenance" (and though it had carbs it didn't have what normal food would)-- and I did not do that. Ending up with a shockingly low RMR of 1500 per day over 3 years after. 3 Reply H. O.J H. O.J 1 year ago 2 years later watching this and it’s amazing, I’ve learnt so much!

The thing that bothers me about “Keto doctors” is that they all tell us we need to avoid insulin. But NONE of them give values for this. Since I inject all my insulin, I know EXACTLY how much insulin I receive each day. But despite this, I’m clueless as to whether that value is good or not. I found one page on the Internet called “understanding type 1 diabetes” saying the daily requirement of insulin for people is their weight in pounds, divided by 4. So I’m 5’ 11” and weigh 180lbs. So it says I should be at 45 units of insulin daily. But it doesn’t say how much insulin daily allows me to be in ketosis. And none of the “Keto teachers” actually give values for insulin. Or ACTUAL ways to determine how much insulin a person should receive each day, based on their age/height/weight to be in ketosis. If you told me values I should be striving for, I’d be very motivated to hit these values. An example would be...If you needed to be 1/8th of your body weight in insulin each day (so for me 180/8 is 22.5 units of insulin daily). Then I’d actually have a goal in mind that I’d need to hit. Currently on a good day my daily insulin is around 36 units. And I’m slowly improving. But I have no idea what I’m supposed to be striving for. I’d be very thankful if you gave values for how much insulin a person can receive each day and still be in ketosis. Because everyone still gets insulin each day, even if they don’t eat food. So how much insulin does a fasting person receive each day. I’d be soooooo happy if you (or anyone else knows the answer). Also I take 12 units lantus (slow acting insulin) before bed, and 12 units when I wake up. Then I just correct my blood sugar with novolog (fast acting insulin) when it rises above 120. So usually another 12 units of insulin to correct high blood sugars. These numbers all vary by a ton daily. Or if anyone could even just tell me their age/height/weight/how much insulin they take each day/and whether they’re in ketosis or not based on those numbers, that would be immensely helpful!!! 8 Reply 5 replies Jutu Jamm Jutu Jamm 3 years ago Nobel Peace Prize candidate along with Dr Jason Fung... that’s what I’m saying. 45 Reply Reflexology at Home Reflexology at Home 2 years ago I wonder if this explains why I feel cold during fasting.

(even keto-low-carb). Reply Colin Smith Colin Smith 1 year ago (edited) From an evolutionary perspective, this makes sense. When you only have meat to eat and your body is relying on back-up reserves, you need to be as efficient as possible to make sure to get more. When you have plenty of carbs to eat, you can be lazy and don't need to be efficient. Whey you have HUGE amounts of carbs to eat.... well, you're beyond evolutionary conditions at that point. Today, many of us have as much of whatever as we want to eat, so the 'lazy' metabolism can become ridiculously lazy. We need to become more efficient, not to avoid starvation, but to avoid the side-effects of lazy metabolism. 2 Reply Jonathan LaRiviere Jonathan LaRiviere 3 years ago Does anyone know where to find the talk by David Ludwig that he mentioned at 7:16 about protein being used as a fuel?

High insulin signifies a fed state, low insulin a fasting state. You would expect low insulin to correlate to tight coupling in both fat and muscle to preserve stored energy supplies and maximize survival in times of famine. Instead the opposite seems to be the case. Really interesting stuff but a real conundrum, for me at least. I’m a big ketosis diet advocate btw. At 62 I’m returning to the physique I had at 32-magical! 5 Reply 1 reply Michael Böiers Michael Böiers 3 years ago You should put the when and where in the description. 3 Reply Mort Kebab Mort Kebab 3 years ago (edited) I don't understand this ( 35.24 ) in the evolutionary context. The data says that ketosis makes white fat "browner" which means that it throws more energy away as heat. And ketosis is characteristic of the fasting state, which is what animals go into when there's a famine. But why would an animal throw more energy away during a famine? Surely it makes more sense to conserve energy? 3 Reply 2 replies 19hoggy66 19hoggy66 2 years ago (edited) For those of us whom are hyperinsulinemic then we can't dismiss the effects of protein, ask diabetics how much insulin they inject for protein consumption!. I wish you'd made this clearer at the beginning rather than the end as often your research is used to beat us up as protein deniers as people DON'T fully listen to your talks and miss the comments re HYPERINSULINEMIA ! I've seen the effects excess protein has on my A1c, my idea of a cheat on KETO is a ribeye steak! Controlling protein as well broke my first KETO stall then adding in ADF [Dr FUng] finally pushed my insulin even lower to break another 1yr KETO stall - ADF allows me to eat a little more protein too! 1 Reply 1 reply Life Resistance Life Resistance 3 years ago Greeetings; First to say I am on some kind of keto, more protein less fat. What if you have insulin resistance and your cells don't get enough energy? Then you start keto with intermittent fasting and insulin goes down and your glucagon goes up. Ketones flush your body but insulin is still to high and fat cells have hard time to dissolve. You are on a type 2 diabetes gate(not that has anything to do with keto), and your cells are opened for energy with high insulin but it is not there anymore. So once glucagon goes 2x or even 3x ratio of insulin you may start to loose fat. You have metabolic problem that healthy person do not. With all that fat dissolved from body and fat that you eat you get high ketones level and even so you have some amount of insulin your cells have problem to use those ketones because of low insulin. Is it possible in that situation to get in to ketoacidosis even if you have insulin, even if it is on higher level then for a healthy person but it is low for you because you have insulin resistance? I had two episodes that looked a lot as start of ketoacidosis, stripes for urine test where almost dissolving from high ketones level(close to black color, not purple). Once it happened i took insulin test and it was 16.2 uIU/mL.

Short answer seems to be. Lift heavy, get enough sleep, eat real food, and get enough protein. And do whatever numbers you can manage to keep you in a calorie deficit.

Reply do good do good 2 years ago A celebrity, one of the worlds famous sports scientists, Dr. Tim Noakes is a celebrated author and follower of KETOGENIC diet. Surprisingly and in fact, Noakes hasn’t even succeeded in curing his own diabetes—as he will tell you. He diagnosed himself, based on his blood-sugar levels and family history. Even after a year on the high-fat, low-carb regimen, his fasting glucose had barely budged; it was still hovering above 125. “Nothing happened,” he said. So he prescribed himself metformin, a common first-line diabetes drug. “He was on two grams a day, which is a massive dose.” When that didn’t work, he added supplements, including berberine, curcumin, and one called N-acetyl cysteine. That finally got his glucose and hemoglobin A1c (another marker of diabetes) under control. “So I’m cured,” he says. “But he not cured, because he still has to take the medicine.” WHY? It is about how many times you eat a day, it doesn't matter what you eat and how much you eat, of course processed foods are a big no and importance of macros cannot be underplayed, OMAD diet and TMAD diet will work and sustainable throughout life. The hormones and calories and carbs and proteins and oils and Keto and extended fasting (think about thin and non obese people) and other lines of discussions are meaningless and confusing. So many proponents for each of them with conflicting stands. Because the reason is not Glucose or Ketones, it is Excess Insulin. Please go through Dr. Joseph R Kraft's videos and his book "Diabetes Epidemic and you" Or go through touchworld.org The beauty is we can measure the insulin patterns and reverse diseases by following OMAD and TMAD diets. Almost all diseases, mental and physical are associated with excess insulin! KETOGENIC DIET supresses the Glucose levels in blood, but does not cure the dormant disease. WHAT is this dormant disease? The diabetes as we know is created by Pharma and almost all doctors, health professionals and people are misled, the truth is it is not glucose level that matters, it is Insulin! Animal PROTEIN has a high insulin response. The reason they are actually never cured of diabetes, it is only their symptoms of diabetes are supressed. KETO followers are happy with lower glucose levels or lower readings of HbA1C. Wake up friends! Dr. Kraft addresses the true disease simply and practically and it is equated with Hyperinsulinemia and measurable. Not only millions of (great) doctors and scientists are mislead, they are looking at plasma glucose levels to determine if you are diabetic, which is totally wrong, they talk of low carb diet/ketogenic or fasting to keep away from glucose. No doubt, a great doctor, Dr. Jason Fung’s 24 hour fasting is nothing but OMAD diet, who is closest to the truth and helps in reducing the chronic high insulin levels in the blood. In KETO, PROTEIN has a high insulin response. The reason they are never cured of diabetes, only their symptoms of diabetes are supressed, with lower glucose levels or lower readings of HbA1C. Wake up friends! Dr. Kraft has clinical data on 14,000 + people collected over 25 years, as proof on what constitutes TRUE/REAL DIABETES. Obesity, diabetes mellitus, dementia, etc are all symptoms of “Diabetes” as defined by Dr. Kraft, which manifest after 7 to 12 years being hyperinsulinemic. Only One meal a day OMAD or two meals a day TMAD will solve the problem. It works for non obese persons as well, they get CURED of Obesity, Diabetes, Hypertension, etc., and most of the mental and chronic physical ailments.
