How Stress and Caffeine Trigger Insulin Resistance: Insights from Dr. Ben Bikman
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 тра 2024
- Dr. Ben Bikman highlights insulin resistance as a prevalent global health issue, identifying stress as a primary cause. He defines stress through elevated levels of cortisol and epinephrine (adrenaline), both of which can quickly induce insulin resistance.
One common source of elevated adrenaline is caffeine. Dr. Bikman references a study demonstrating that caffeine consumption significantly increases insulin secretion when carbohydrates are consumed, making insulin work harder to reduce blood sugar levels. He advises mindfulness regarding daily caffeine intake to manage insulin resistance more effectively.

Ben, one piece of information is missing. What happens if you do not eat carbs?
Yes...the very thing I was wondering because I do not touch any carbs
@@ArtLoverScotland I agree! Please don't take away my 2 cups of coffee with a slab of butter. It seems I'm down to just red meat and water.
Exactly. Being mindful of consuming carbs is more important than being mindful of caffeine.
I'm on the lion diet but I still drink coffee. I'm going to try letting it go though.
I would think that unless you are consuming caffeine in excess, this shouldn't be an issue for carnivore and keto folk. I've heard Dr. Bikman himself say he consumes yerba mate tea in the morning, and that has caffeine about equal to a cup of coffee.
Adding my question to others. How much increase if drinking coffee and no carbs? Does it matter if the carbs are with the coffee or at another meal? I notice you're saying caffeine. So when being mindful of amount does it mean tea or cocoa? Does it matter if 2 cups in the morning versus 2 cups divided over the day? I would love a longer video on this from you. I respect you very much.
True!
I respect Dr. Bikman and trust him a lot too!!. Thanks for your comment.
He mentioned that when eating carbs and caffeine, the body needs to produce more insulin to bring glucose levels down. In another video, it's said that black coffee with nothing added is good for when IF
The important question that should be explored is whether daily caffeine consumption contributes to chronic hyperinsulinemia and IR.
based on what Dr. Bikman said, it seems like caffeine is an amplifier, but not a source of elevated insulin.
So, if you are on a very-low carb diet, regular caffeine probably isn't a big deal.
But the more carbs you eat per day, the more caffeine intake becomes relevant.
0 x 2 = 0
1 x 2 = 2
2 x 2 = 4
Etc.
@@Hertz2laugh Yes, very possibly. My primary interest is in managing my T2D using keto diet, intermittent fasting and regular exercise. I drink 12 oz. of caffeinated coffee every morning (but no other caffeine the rest of the day), and I have seen numerous conflicting sources about whether caffeine raises blood sugar or has no effect. I have yet to get my A1c down into the normal range, and I need all the help I can get. I'm a 59-yo male, started with an A1c of 12.1 and I've gone from 190 lbs to 155 and the best A1c I've seen yet is 6.3. If switching to decaf will help at all, I'll do it. I guess I'll have to experiment and see for myself. Dr. B is the most credible and trustworthy source of info on metabolic health I've found anywhere.
Two cups of coffee a day without eating carbs. Doing I/F and no problem with ketosis, losing weight (50 lbs in four months), keeping my A1C at 5.2 (I was at 8.2). I also quit my meds (Lisinopril, Simvastatin, and Ozempic). I hated Ozempic.
That is absolutely wonderful! Curious... What did you not like about Ozempic?
I profoundly hope that your digestion is okay . How many months were you on Ozempic?? 😮 did you have nausea, stomach cramping, slowed motility ??? I've read these symptoms are permanent! and Not transient.
@@nancyarchibald9095 I can answer this: nausea yes, especially while working out, taking half a teaspoon of salt dissolved in water fixed it. Stomach cramping no, constipation yes. These symptoms disappeared after a few months.
@@johndelabretonne2373 Severe constipation sometimes I couldn’t pass a stool for five days. It was very uncomfortable.
@@nancyarchibald9095 26 months, 2.0 ml at the end. My digestion slowed down and it sometimes took five days to pass a stool. I’m back to one to two days between now. It may take time to reverse the effects likely depending on how long you used the drug.
OKI totally believe you.But I know for a fact i'm gonna be a lot more stressed without my cup of Morning coffee ! Lol
Even only caffeine while fasting gives me "hunger pangs". I aint touching this stuff anymore.
From all my research, it seems that anything you consume that has a taste to it can trigger a temporary rise in insulin, which lowers blood sugar, which in turn stimulates the release of ghrelin, the hunger hormone. Sticking to plain water should allow you to avoid that.
Not me. I drink 3 to 4 cups daily and am up for 3 to 4 hrs before first meal.
I add a tablespoon of butter, 1 teaspoon of C8 MCT oil to my first cup of the day and can go until between 3-5:00 p.m. before eating.
I used to drink a *lot* of coffee daily. It didn't seem to affect me. But now that I'm insulin sensitive, living keto, I find that more than *two cups* in the morning gives me a little insomnia that night.
Thank you
Mindblowing! This resistance effect of caffeine is something I intuitively felt for a long time but couldn't put my finger on.... thru a dna test I discovered that I break down caffeine very slowly, so perhaps it is time to say goodbye to Joe...
So, what about caffeine without carbs? 1. Does it raise insulin by itself, or only when combined with carbs? 2. Otherwise, is elevated adrenaline a bad thing?
How much is too much?
caffeine is an excitotoxin. use it very sparingly. If you need that half cup of coffee to stay awake while driving, by all means have it. But don't rely on it much more than a quarter cup coffee in the morning.
I love this guy
Great video, as always, professor.
You said, "Cortisol and epinephrine that are increased during a stressed state can acutely or rapidly cause insulin resistance. When you have elevated epinephrine levels, one stimulus that will increase your epinephrine is caffeine." This is fascinating.
My question is: Does caffeine ingestion affect insulin resistance in the same way when you are not in a stressed state, in fact, when you are chilled and in a relaxed state?
What if I don’t eat carbs and I am in ketosis. I am carnivore. And I will have coffee with MCT oil as a pre workout drink. What about then.
Probably not a good idea as a pre-workout if you ate trying to build muscle, considering that caffeine has been shown to inhibit mtor activation for nearly 6 hours, which is something you want to be activating through your workout to build muscle. I don't consume caffeine within 6 hours before a workout.
A "safe" upper limit on daily caffeine intake ... and an average caffeine content per cup of coffee would have given a useful point of reference!
Confusing!!!
Before I heard coffee is great and has protective effects from Drs Fung and Peltz and now is bad..(?)!!...How much coffee should I drink in a day?
I didn’t want to believe it, but I had a hormone test including cortisol with and without caffeine, and after 20 oz coffee, my cortisol went way above the normal range. That was in the context of a very low carb animal-based diet. Now I stick to 1/2 caff or decaf.
Also during fasting
Could you please share a link to the research study? I'd like more details and I'd love to know the amount of caffeine that elicited the response. Thanks!
I can easily drink 3 or 4 cups of black coffee in the morning while delaying breakfast which has a few limited carbs, But after that, no coffee and I switch to water. Maybe a cup of green tea later. I need to find the study. Perhaps this explains my high fasting blood glucose.
Maybe your high levels of glucose while fasting is due to the body use from what it has in storage for when it's needed. I heard that the body uses what's in storage, first glucose, then protein to keep us going until our next meal.
Don´t give up!
How about caffeine on a zero/low carb diet?
Thanks Ben , I will reduce my coffee intake.
My feeling is when adding collagen to my coffee the effect is less noticeable
I love adding butter.
@@Pre613 I add both and mct oil.........
I eat a meat only diet and drink zero sugar caffeinated drinks regularly (sodas, energy drinks and coffee). My Hba1c 5.0%, fasting insulin is 5.7 UIU/ML, c-peptide 1.4 ng/ml, with blood pressure 114/72. That test was proformed 2 years into my carnivore lifestyle. For my n=1 zero sugar beverages dont seem to be affecting my numbers negatively. I also only do a strength training workout once aweek with no cardio of any sort.
Are you talking about zero-sugar beverages or zero sugar-beverages?
@KenJackson_US I do drink zero sugar- beverages, like coke zero, ghost energy, etc.
🙏🏽🙏🏽 I make it half caffeinated, which seems to help with the uptake. I never get a jolt from it. Unless I’m fasting, I’ll have a couple tbsp of brain octane oil first, and/ or whip it with butter, which also seems to buffer the uptake. If I’m fasting I will sip black half caff slowly. I’m sure I should give it up 😭😭 I’m getting there..
I'm curious about the link between stress hormones and the way humans accumulate fat.
Based on my own experience, I can see that stress affects this process.
It seems that I have accumulated more visceral fat and less subcutaneous fat.
How accumulation of fat changes in presence cortisol and epinephrine?
I take this to mean lower your carb or at least refined carb intake, dramatically if you like me are a coffee drinker and easily stressed or living a stressed life, and reduce caffeine to two???? Cups a day, maybe increase herbal teas if you need that hot cup feeling in your hands. This might explain to me why my insulin is high and I’m likely insulin resistant as I’ve always been stresses, hypertensive and loved my carb.
I did drastically reduce my carbs I favour of protein and fat a few years ago and lost big weight, lowered my A1c to 5 and loved it but slipped off the bandwagon. Time to do it again.
Ben, I'd be curious to know if caffeine after a meal has the same affect on insulin as caffeine before a meal?
I'm keto and drink decaf. BP generally 120/76. Not stressin'
Any information about Coffe's Chlorogenic Acids and diabetes?
Coffee high in Chlorogenic acid actually helps with blood sugar and can be a cheat code when you are eating a high carb meals in my experience. I have noticed in the past when I drank coffee high in CLA I lost weight and it reduced my hunger even when I was not eating best foods or even exercising. I was basically not putting much effort into losing weight. I had Mcdonalds and Burger King for breakfast. That is the difference adding coffee high in CLA had in regulating my blood sugar and reducing hunger. A meal like that without adding the coffee high in CLA would have destroyed my blood sugar and made me hungry again within a couple hours.
Dr Bikman, I wonder wether people with traumatic childhood who lived with chronic stress during their childhood, such people should have higher insulin resistance.
No matter what, caffeine is a drug from a plant. The process of coffee making is strangely similar to other drug making processes
How much quantity is safe sir
So decaffeinated coffee must be fine? I intuitively prefer it it just in case it alterns my sleep.
Under chronic stress for 2 yrs.😢
Day 6 coffee free...am curious to see the results in a month
Dr Bikman, I drink coffee in the morning with no food (no carbs) and I don't drink coffee with meals. Is this okay?
❤❤❤
I'm from England and drink about 10 mugs of strong tea with a dash of milk. I hear that although the caffeine effect in back tea is suppressed due to the high theanine content. I wonder if this play true with tea?
What about caffeine during a fast?
coffee is like a big lucrative biz when the European went to Africa can’t grow cattle instead of find addicting things to grow for profits. Fresh beans itself definitely good but roasted mean Burnt beans, like pouring hot water on burnt food everyday with an empty stomach.
Then wouldn't intense exercise also cause insulin resistance?
I've been trying to quit coffee. I've quit smoking 3 packs of cigs/day easy. But coffee...
What is classed as high amount and what is high to 1 person might not be to another.. why is it that when the bad news is said about coffee they never tell you that it can be good as well. It's like cherry pick information to suit there's good and bad in everything we eat and drink..
I'm carnivore for two years now, even with the caffeine my blood sugar is very stable, I'll love my espresso so not giving that one up 😂
Nicotine pouches assessment next please❤
Don't mess with my coffee!
I’m seeing this rhetoric more and more these days. I’m feeling called to drastically cut back or completely give up coffee altogether
Okay coffee and donuts no, no! But please don't take my coffee away.
It depends what coffee you are drinking. Not all coffee is created equal. There are coffees higher in antioxidants that can do wonders for your blood sugar and offset high carb or high sugary meals. It is like a cheat code. There is also a tea that has a similar effect called Yerba Mate. Basically Yerba Mate is beneficial when you eat a crappy diet. There is studies to prove it. Many people in South America especially Argentina drink Yerba Mate. Those folks don't seem to have an obesity issue like the USA.
Or i should be mindful of how many carbs i have with my coffee.
Coffee is an addiction plain and simple. We will justify it come hell or high water.
Say it ain’t so! 😢😢😢😢
This happens only if you're eating excessive amounts of fat with your starches.
Ben, How much caffiene?!
Depends on the person. Everyone reacts to caffeine differently. Just take whatever amount you can tolerate without any problems.
I have no problem with coffee mate
Real cream is much healthier than CoffeeMate.
@@KenJackson_US as i said, i do like coffee, i observed on myself that my skin is glowing and clear because of it, i feel nothing whatsoever because of it, only benefits
Plus, clean teeth, probably because the glutathione from it
Or maybe just dont eat carbs 😊
When willvyou learn that there is no science without faith? Stop being a cult leader mate, eventually you will find the hard way your information is in conflict, maybe you have cognitive dissonance and do not understand
