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. Be well all. 10 Reply 1 reply Melly Mel Melly Mel 1 year ago Great interview. Always watch Dr. Bickman when I see him being interviewed or giving a talk. 19 Reply 1 reply Julie Shoemake Julie Shoemake 11 months ago I'm on page 80 I can't get enough, I'm just a small town 52 year old Oklahoma woman that has woke up to this and now you're confirming everything I've been screaming!!! I'm a massage therapist, so I have a captive audience 😂 I've also lost 65lbs since February 22nd ,2021 I TELL EVERYONE I CAN ABOUT THIS BOOK!!! I'm actually going to be sharing this book at a ladies meeting on January 17th. I can't wait😁 People are already listening to me because of your knowledge and others like yourself(very few😔) People just don't get it.... It's life or death SOONER 1 Reply Cindy Lewis Cindy Lewis 1 year ago Great info. Nice to know we are on the right track. Hubby was able to get off some diabetes medicine with Keto diet and has lost 30 lbs. 8 Reply 1 reply mathfaster mathfaster 1 year ago (edited) My PCP doesn't believe in checking insulin levels because it's a pulsatile hormone. 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 😁. Then fast 18 hours. 3 donuts a year !! - lol. That's it, that's my confession. 34 Reply 4 replies Amber Davies Amber Davies 1 year ago Very enlightening, I took lots of notes. 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 Thor’s #1 fan Thor’s #1 fan 1 year ago Thank you, Keto Connect!! Dr. Berry recommended this book, and I’d been considering buying it.

Great questions and totally agreed with the doctors answers. I usually don't do this but I Just placed my first order and created a subscription.

Will replace fast foods that are cooked in less than desirable seed oils. Will update this comment in the future. 2 Reply Sam P.A. Sam P.A. 1 year ago Same, Dr visit 9 weeks into Keto... went from (mainstream consider normal cholesterol) to nearly double the # on each. The Dr freaked out...sent me in for every stress test/scan/and pill protocol you can imagine. Of course... I did not take the medications... just went back to my previous low carb routine vs strick keto (had followed for years). 1 Reply 1 reply P J Beck Bodin P J Beck Bodin 1 year ago Dr Birman is my favorite!

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 told my doc I gained 25 pounds in the last few months. She said there is nothing that can be done. I was discouraged until someone mentioned your book "Why We Are Sick."

Cutting edge science explained by leaders in their field, presented by a world-class interviewer. For all the rot out there let us not take for granted what we have here. Thankyou Diet Doctor, guests and all those behind the scenes. 76 Reply 4 replies PARAPOLITICOS PARAPOLITICOS 1 year ago Ben Bikman is one of the great modern heroes of our times. 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. His Children should be(and am sure they are) very proud of their father. 42 Reply Stella Medina Stella Medina 1 year ago (edited) Since the age of 20 I have been doing intermittent fasting for 17 hours (without knowing that it was intermittent fasting and without knowing how beneficial it was). In the first year I lost 10 kg. To this day I continue fasting for 16-17 hours. I am 69 years old. thanks for such an excellent interview 73 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. 36 Reply 5 replies Meesh Lathrom Meesh Lathrom 1 year ago It would be interesting to see a study on how hyperinsulinemia affects gut bacteria. I have a strong feeling that stuff like SIBO is very much something that is affected by high insulin levels, with insulin being the proliferator or growth factor. What do you think Dr. Bikman? 13 Reply deet lamade deet lamade 7 months ago Damn! This episode explained EVERYTHING that is going on with my diabetes, glucose monitoring, gaining fat etc... also explains the last 20 years of being very fit and still carrying 20-30 lbs of extra fat. Thanks y'all. 3 Reply FreeMocean FreeMocean 6 months ago I’m 52 and have no medical education but I keep reading and studying this stuff trying to understand it more deeply. I wish I could help to get it out to more people even though I’m not qualified to do so. I’m carnivore 4 years and into mobility training, best way I can help is to live as an example. 3 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. 8 Reply Ricky B Ricky B 1 year ago I am reading Dr. Bikman's book right now.

Much gratitude. 3 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. 22 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 6 months ago This is to me the best explanation of insulin resistant.

Luckily, my blood pressure is always normal and my lipid panels except LDL (slightly high) are also normal. What has worked for me to return to my normal pre prediabetes state has been 16/18 IF with two meals. On weekends, I can go for a whole day for one meal only. However, I do not want to lose any more weight, and I will stop the weekend 24. I find it very easy for me to do since even before learning I was prediabetic, I was skipping meals almost everyday and I am a small eater. 2 Reply Angie's Recipes Angie's Recipes 1 year ago Dr. Scher is my favourite interviewer.

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.

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 bonnieo8 bonnieo8 11 months ago I would love to have Ben Bikman reconcile his research findings on the impact of insulin resistance on our bodies and metabolic syndrome plus other chronic diseases vs Dr. Rick Johnson’s research on the connection between fructose on uric acid and then on insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome. Bikman focuses on glucose and insulin while Rick Johnson focuses on both fructose and glucose, with uric acid being a key intervening factor. 1 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 Josie B Josie B 1 year ago Dr Scher always asks great questions 18 Reply Arvind Bhave Arvind Bhave 6 months ago This discussion is a gem!

Many days, I am outside 5-6 hours per day, moving compost or mulch, digging, tying up, weeding, mowing with a push mower, raking, turning compost. I also go fishing now and then. So much of my food is fresh, maximum nutrition, eaten or frozen within minutes or, at worst, hours of harvest. I get more Vitamin D from the sun than most. And there are mood-elevating chemicals in soil, they say, so I work glove-free and barefoot. Some years, I get a deer a relative has hunted. This year, I'm getting hens for eggs. With all my mind, heart, and body, I believe this is closer to what we're supposed to do, what our bodies are hardwired to do. Sitting in a cubicle for 9 hours and eating sugar most assuredly is not. 68 Reply 9 replies Christiane Stadelmann Christiane Stadelmann 9 months ago This is how I found out that I had hyperinsulinemia: After listening to a video with Jason Fung I decided to cut my carbs one day. My body reacted strongly the following night (heart racing, hunger, sweating, restlessness) and I had a strong episode of hypoglycemia the following morning (weakness, shakyness, more sweating). I do not take any medication to lower blood glucose and was never diagnosed diabetic (I haven't had my blood glucose checked in years). That episode of hypoglycemia that I was able to recognize easily as I am a nurse made me realize that I needed to really cut down my carbs and change my diet to lower and hopefully reverse my hyperinsulinemia. By the way, I am in my sixties and always had issues with controling a healthy body weight.

Reply Sensei Juan Sensei Juan 1 year ago Great practical advice 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 Jennifer Wade Jennifer Wade 9 months ago Thank you Both. So much 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?

It's almost mind boggling. Reply Mr Mr 11 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 Marx Marx 1 year ago I eat carbs on occasion but not the rule mostly animal based.

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 ? Let’s say the person weighs somewhere between 180 and 240 lbs? Thanks you for all your insight and knowledge!

Why We Get Sick w/ Dr Benjamin Bikman Saifedean Ammous 24.3K subscribers Subscribe 744 Share 19,351 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 Karol Wlodarczyk Karol Wlodarczyk 2 months ago I LOVE seeing this crossover (I am not surprised at all btw)!

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 Karen F Karen F 1 month ago When everybody was running around and blurting out, “I think everybody deserves healthcare”, I was running around telling THEM, “I think everybody deserves health”.

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 snowmanmike snowmanmike 4 months ago Bring him back, great guest 4 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).

F/N <0.45 due to PUFA linoleic acid overload distroying this metabolic evolutionary switch on energy substrates.

And I didn’t tell my doctor and she wanted to put me on insulin I think because she thought I was a diabetic ketosis. I just had a Lifestyle screening test and they listed me at prediabetes, and I think if I could lose another 15 to 20 pounds, and still keep my same diet and fasting routine, I will be fine.

And I felt it just gave me permission to eat whatever I wanted, I went on the keto diet and I went from 180 to 160, Took me 20 years to get that far. And I didn’t tell my doctor and she wanted to put me on insulin I think because she thought I was a diabetic ketosis. I just had a Lifestyle screening test and they listed me at prediabetes, and I think if I could lose another 15 to 20 pounds, and still keep my same diet and fasting routine, I will be fine. I’ve been on this diet since 2019, in 2019 I was completely carb free and fasting taking plenty of supplements.

BENJAMIN BIKMAN Dr. Morgan Nolte, Zivli 35.6K subscribers Subscribe 5.5K Share 184,656 views Apr 16, 2021 #insulinresistance #prediabetes #diabetes Meet Dr. Benjamin Bikman, author of Why We Get Sick. In this interview we talk about all things insulin resistance! Signs, symptoms, testing, how it’s linked to type 2 diabetes, heart disease, dementia, and more. Dr. Bikman shares information from his book on how to prevent and reverse insulin resistance for sustainable weight loss and disease prevention. If you have high blood sugar, high blood pressure, or excess weight, this episode is for you. 8-9/10 people tuning in have insulin resistance. For such a common condition, I’m always shocked that so few people even know it exists. Insulin resistance is at ground zero for weight gain, diabetes, heart disease, and so much more. Dr. Bikman has his Ph.D. in Bioenergetics. As a professor at Brigham Young University and the director of its Diabetes Research Lab, Dr. Bikman studies insulin, including its role as a regulator of human metabolism, as well as insulin’s relevance in chronic disease. Chronic dieting will not work for sustainable weight loss. The only way to lose weight, keep it off, and prevent disease is to live a low insulin lifestyle. I know that may sound strange to you, but it's true. When "How will this affect my insulin" becomes your new litmus test instead of, "How many points or calories does this have," weight loss clicks into gear! Highlights From This Episode: - What is insulin resistance? - What causes insulin resistance? - What diseases are caused by insulin resistance? - How can we prevent insulin resistance? - How can we reverse insulin resistance? Note: Reshape Physical Therapy and Wellness evolved into Weight Loss for Health, and finally Zivli. How to Lose Weight After 50 was our first course that eventually grew into Zivli.

I used to weightlift 4-5 days a week & worked on a farm doing physical labor 6-7 days a week until 2019. Because of Covid I couldn't keep up my exercise routine that I had, but still did my best to stay active. I just found out I'm pregnant & want to be safe but healthy during pregnancy, besides the low sugar/low carb diet they want me to have & staying active is there anything else I can do? 4 Dr. Morgan Nolte, Zivli Reply Dr. Morgan Nolte, Zivli · 1 reply Green Deane Green Deane 1 year ago (edited) In my 40s I had so many skin tags I cut them off regularly, arm pits, inner thighs, neck even on my eyelids.

I developed PVCs and quit the coca cola at 42. 8 Reply Dr. Morgan Nolte, Zivli · 5 replies Nora Zelaya Nora Zelaya 1 year ago I was very disheartened when I was told I was prediabetic. I am very conservative with my sugar intake and overall diet; I do not smoke, not drink alcohol. I am also 65 years old, not retired, and fairly active. First, I thought it was familial because my older brother and younger sister are both diabetics, but in their case, my sister was almost obese when diagnosed, my brother not very overweight but eats everything. My BP, trygl, HDL, thyroid, liver, and kidney are within normal. My LDL was slightly elevated, but the ratio is normal too. So what other causes could trigger my IR. I read some studies that if you vit D, B12 and magnesium are low you can develop IR. Those parameters were low in my case. So I am working on bringing them to the normal range also because I show as osteopenic too. I am exercising every day now and following a low-carb diet (though I have restricted excess sugars for most of my adult life); I am not a heavy carnivore. I eat meat maybe two times a week. I have lost the 2 extra pounds I was carrying beyond my normal weight of 128Lb. I do not want to lose too much. I hope I can harness this problem because I do not want to be a pharma dependant and want to avoid the suffering of DM2 I have seen because I am also a nurse. So you see; DM2 is not only a disease of the obese and uncontrolled eater. The thought of possibly becoming diabetic was the last in my mind when I went for my first Medicare visit. 2 Dr. Morgan Nolte, Zivli Reply Dr. Morgan Nolte, Zivli · 3 replies Karl Karl 8 months ago Since I got my CGM, I've been asking "how will this affect my blood glucose?" (the results are a number that I will see in 30-120 minutes! So there's feedback. Unfortunately with insulin, the only way to know what is really happening is to be in a setting where you can have blood drawn, and I'm not aware of any service that will follow me to restaurants or come to my house or the gym to measure. I know my fasting insulin "super low" (like 2 or less when I've measured it fasting) but it's obviously not just fasting insulin that matters. And the results of an OGTT are a bit artificial and may not be reflective of what happens to insulin when we eat and exercise in our daily lives. For example the advice to eat fiber then fat/protein and then (if possible whole-food) carbs, is not something that's part of an OGTT. Now I'll watch the rest of the video!

Low carb, intermittent fasting, as soon as I digested the Krebs cycle and the rest, through Robert Lustig. Now binging (this is a bad term I know) on this material. And yes, nutritionism is the main problem, plus an emphasis on medications and specialized treatment instead of functional preventive medicine. I followed the advise for decades, my diabetes got worse. No doubt it’s getting better, now…look ma…no exogenous insulin. Slowly graduating to longer fasts. But still need to be careful since still on some orals. Oh and my BP is down to a quarter of my starting dose… It makes sense. But medical providers never mentioned any of this. I went digging myself. As a former medic…I get why, but that does not stop my anger at the system. I know it’s not a conspiracy, but dang it, looks like one.

I have been avoiding going to the DR for years now and I am now at a point I believe I have no other option. I used to be extremely unhealthy drinking up to 15 sun drops a day and eating a tub of snow cream a day most days. For whatever reason I was convinced that I had hypoglycemia and would say I was self treating my low blood sugar. I started having more and more episodes of what I believe to be insulin shock but I am not certain. I finally decided I wanted to be healthier and cut out all the bad sugary drinks and ice cream. I now believe I may have reactive hypoglycemia as my trouble seems to be after I eat a meal I sometimes get extremely dizzy, start shaking, my vision gets blurry and I feel very heavy. The room will start spinning and I have to sit down and the only way I know to make it better is to eat more carbs or have something sugary.
