    A talk by Dr. Bikman was my first introduction to Insulin Resistance. He was recommended by my Periodontist earlier this year. Since implementing a Ketogenic diet and Intermittent Fasting in July '24, my oral health has improved greatly, the skin breakouts on my face have disappeared, and my energy levels and mental focus have improved noticeably. I owe a lot to these fantastic gentlemen, Drs. Fung and Bikman. Thank you!

    Excellent video! I’ve lost count of how many of Dr Bikman’s videos I’ve shared, much less watched - all wonderful. This video however excels for the new listener in that it gives a wonderful overview of so many aspects of insulin resistance. That said, I will be sharing this one as the must watch, along with the apologetic that I hope that you don’t think that I’m spamming you.
    I’m a 66 yo male that is 368 days carnivore. I quickly shed the weight and my blood levels all became very healthy, but for the “bad” cholesterol.
    Despite feeling so much better after resolving a number of chronic issues, I received a great deal of grief from family and doctors. My ldl shot up to 343 two months into the journey- at that point I made the decision to monitor it myself and not share the numbers, especially when it hit 623 around 6 months in. Around 8 months it had dropped to 543. Time to retest…

      To get the doctors off your back , request a MNR lippo-profile blood test . The size of the particle matters more than the count and this test shows the size to particle count . It’s like when Ben was talking about the fat blood cell expanding so much that it starts to suffocate from lack of oxygen being too far away from the capillaries . The size matters

      ⁠@@johnk6578 sorry to hear ! Thank you for sharing! I’m only 38. I have limited knowledge other than my past year of learning about the metabolic health. While I have improved my personal health during this time significantly
      , this was in large part for my wife as she has severe health conditions and it just so seems the doctors can never figure out an answer, so here is a pill, here’s another specialist, here’s another pill. Specialist after specialist. Two, three, four a week never an answer for five years now. Always in pain, always throwing up .. pic line here and there … always never a true answer. It is my belief which, of course I can’t convince her yet that the doctor system simply only knows what they were told. And unfortunately, they don’t know the bigger cause which is insulin resistance. I won’t go into what I believe is causing her IR. However, I do believe a start is to consume fat and protein. Instead of sugar is a significant improvement to our overall health and enjoyment of life. . Her doctor, performed birth from her mother, and also her son. He basically gives her whatever, even saying one time you have the Whitney Houston concoction. Over my 10 years with her she only takes a few, with no pain medicines, even though she is hurting often. However, obviously that’s still not enough.n she is finally seeking another person.
      Long story short, you have to find the right doctor with this open kind of mind, which, for some reason to me seems like the bigger picture and makes more sense. I work with computers, and I have to start at the overall beginning for diagnosis, I can’t just start at the very end to figure things out.

    Thank you Dr Fung and Dr Bikman for explaining insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome, and continue to explain these concepts on both your UA-cam channels. These explanations go a long way into why T2 diabetes and obesity is so prevalent now. Unfortunately not nearly enough doctors agree with your assessment and cannot provide a good solution and path for their patients in reversing insulin resistance and T2 diabetes. On the contrary the world is getting fatter and less healthy. More work needs to be done in educating doctors and medical establishments. I hope this will happen sometime soon, for the sake of the health of people in the world.

    Can mister Bikman or dr Fung explain this : If you look at the blood sugar in an animal or person carrying a tumor, their blood sugar generally is at least normal, and even if they don’t eat any sugar, they’ll still keep their blood sugar at about the same level.
    There have been many attempts to starve a cancer by lowering the blood sugar, but the tumor is sending out signals to provide sugar and protein, amino acids and fatty acids that it needs to grow.
    And so if you cut off the sugar supply, all it does is send out more stress signals to increase the basically cortisol production to break down your tissues, and it causes tissue wasting, the catexia that is the worst feature of cancer usually. It is produced by the stress hormones which are converting your protein in tissues and fat tissues into food for the cancer to make up for the absence of sugar.
    One experimenter put in a high concentration of glucose into the artery feeding a tumor in the extremity, and they could get an extremely high concentration of sugar to it, and it killed the tumor without hurting the healthy tissue because the tumor has such an unlimited appetite for anything that it will eat itself to death.
    In vitro, if you feed unsaturated fats to cancer cells, they’ll eat themselves to death. But in the body, the unsaturated fats are under control. Other tissues will consume them and be injured, and you can’t do anything but stimulate a cancer with the unsaturated fats.”

    I'm glad I stumbled across Dr. Fung. I started searching about fasting wondering what was physically possible and with some of No Lab Coat Required's ideas on salt & electrolyte importance and intake (and wondering how a local Church pastor claimed to fast for seven days). What an eye opener this journey has been especially in regards to how/when/why a body stores and uses fat. I've always assumed the only way to lose weight was simply energy out greater than energy in (i.e. working out more with eating less but more often). Knowledge to when and why a body starts to use fat energy has be an awakening. I'm no longer as worried about old age (quickly approaching for me). I'm trying mightily to change habits now while I have a strong will and good health so when the future arrives, I'll be prepared.

With these problems I would think insulin would be higher. The triglycerides are what I am mostly concerned about. Oh BTW I am a Dr Fung fan for many years. I have been IF for 10+ yrs. Mostly around 19:5 but lately OMAD.

    This was very interesting, thank you. I'm curious about the role diet sodas play in insulin regulation. I've read that consuming diet soda can slighly increase insulin in the body (cephalic phase insulin response), and I'm wondering if that plays a large or small role in insulin levels.

    Alongside with lowcarb diet and fasting, what do you recommend to shrink fat cells please?
    I am T1D but I sometimes have obvious insulin resistance i.e. the insulin shot seemed like no shot at all, post meal glucose could be very difficult to get down sometimes
    I am one of those skinny fat Asians despite I eat strict lowcarb diet, no processed food and practice 168 / 186 fasting for almost everyday.

      Cut out all sugars and carbs, eat protein and fats and do not cook in seed oils, you will eventually eat less often due to the slowing down of the production of Grehlin in the gut, thus you are not as hungry. I eat once a day, I have gone from obese to normal weight and off all medications. 🥩🐷🐏🥓🥚🍖

    • @jewel2274
      @jewel2274 29 днів тому

      @Nanaurbiznaz ASP is a real protein that facilitates fat storage independently of insulin, particularly in response to dietary fat. Insulin gets most of the attention in fat storage discussions, but ASP shows that fat storage is more complex than just insulin levels. Maria’s idea is valid, but ASP activity alone is not enough to drive significant fat gain-it still depends on overall calorie intake and metabolic conditions.

      @robyroby1902 I have to get under and stay under 20 carbs. I have slowly worked my way up on my fasting window. Still working my way up to 3 day water fast. I can do about 24 hours now before I get to feeling to bad. It’s been a slow process to work up that far. There might be tricks, but the foundational piece i know of is to do keto or keto-vore, under 20g. Which technically falls under the fasting-mimicking diet, so you can get a lot or many of the benefits of fasting in regards to autophagy
