Love listening to Dr.Bikman - got my insulin at 1.5 @58yo . High Protein -Moderate Fat- Low Carb -Intermittent Fasting 16-8 -Resistance Training -Make it a lifestyle and you’ll be amazed of the changes you can make . Consistency is the key , not perfection .
@@dort5436 high protein yes - and whatever natural fats that come with it - beef , fish , eggs , etc animal based . No need to butter chug or drink oils .
High protein is important, absolutely. For some, high fat is also important for thyroid, brain, and hormonal health. For example, Rebekah Heishman, to heal from all the stuff she needed to heal from, needed high fat. She went carnivore initially for a year and could only eat real fatty lamb. She played around with it, as many people do. See what works for you.
Thanks a lot for sharing Ben, you are a fantastic interviewer and Ben has a great way of explaining the things, I am myself a medical doctor and I’m a great admirer of his teaching. Thanks again 🌹🌹
I also had almost every day headaches and when I stopped eating sugar and lowered carbs intake, I immediately was free from headaches. I was very releaved that it dissapeared so fast and after three months i lost 10 kg as well. 🙏
All I can say is “Once is not enough”… I had to listen to this incredible interview twice (for now) taking notes each time. Can’t thank you enough. The information is life changing and invaluable. Some unknowns going way back now clarified. Thank U, 🌺Lei
Thank you for this information. This should be standard for young women with PCOS. I am hurt this information is not shared more commonly during medical appointments. I can tell you it would have changed my direction at that time of my life. I thought it was an inevitable and progressive process that I had no control over. So grateful for all those doing the research and getting this out now.
Great great podcast!!! Everyone on the planet should hear this episode!!! Keto transformed my life!! Wow!! Getting rid of refined carbs. Increasing meat, eating eggs for the first time in 10 years. Introducing cruciferous vegetables. (Cutting out root vegetables which unfortunately send me into the arms of bread!) anyway, great!!! Thank you!!! 🙏🏻 ❤🎉🎉
So many great continuing medical nutrition educational health videos here on RUclips as this one, including Drs Jason Fung, Dr. Annette Bozworth; Dr. Robert Lustig and many many others.
I am so grateful to have access to this well researched scientific work. I love the way the concepts are explained in a language I can grasp, as a layman that I am, back then people would be attending conferences to access such valuable information. May you prosper.
I wish I would have known about you and your educational videos a long time ago. I worked in a room unknowingly had mold in the HVAC and ducts it made me so sick. I was 29-36 and I became super vegan trying to get healthy and that was so horrible for healing. I did everything your saying not to do. Anyways I follow your advice and it’s how we live in our home now and it’s a huge help to staying healthy now. Thank you!
You did an AMAZING job of explaining how insulin affects the body!! Thank you so much for sharing this with us! I didn't know that high insulin is linked to migraine headaches. You've done the finest job of explaining all the ways insulin resistance will manifest itself!👏👏
I started watching Ben in july 23, i have been doing 16/8 fasting and lost 5st in weight, my diabetes has gone from 82 in January to 35 and he has giving me so much information to help change my life. Thank you so much Ben
What Dr. Bikman said about insulin constricting blood vessels (circa 23:50) and thus causing erectile dysfunction contradicts with his speculation in Stephanie Estima's interview about insulin dilating brain blood vessels and thus causing an influx of blood to a finite space in the brain and subsequently the headache. My personal experience when I have a migraine headache is that I felt like the blood vessels are constricting which causes the pain, and incidentally, that happens usually after I ate a lot of bread.
So insulin constricts blood vessels. Which causes erectile dysfunction (because blood vessels must dilate (get bigger) for an erection. Blood vessels constrict and cause migraine. I don't see the contradiction (?) just sayin' ...
I started keto a couple of weeks ago, within two weeks (when I figured out water and electrolyte needs) my sleep was waaay better than it have been for many years. Both to hours and also the quality with deep sleep.
Thank you for these informative videos. They explain all my health problems which no doctor here in Germany could explain. I will spread these information to my doctors and other patients, and hopefully they will learn from you. All the best and thanks again.
As a 62 year old male, I can attest to massive memory loss, brain fog and anger anxiety , massive hypoglycemia, decades long chronic gallbladder dysfunction,ten years ago while on the modern food pyramid recommendations ! All now gone on low carb, high quality fats and animal protein!
I am an Indian and I am horrified to see the amount of carbs and fried carbs that Indian families eat with very little meat and fat. We fry our veggies and then eat a lot of sweets. Basically I can already see all around me a massive metabolic diseases epidemic in middle aged people. We need a mass level movement on moving away from a high carb diet and eating more fats. Getting people to eat meat will be difficult because of religious reasons but eggs and diary could be the way.
Yes Indians are mostly metabolically unhealthy and most are diabetic. They used to cook with ghee which is good but now use toxic vegetable seed oil. Of course they eat far too many carbs, sweets and lack animal protein and animal fats in their diet.
This is one of the most practical and interesting overviews on insulin resistance and its many effects on population health. Who knew that ED was a sign of insulin resistance? What about female reproduction? The most important part of this for me was the analysis of the cadavers and how their brains were different based on insulin. I'm going to have to go back and listen to that again but it's very deep.
WOW.. this is Heavy duty & so very important to understand it all. Affects all of us. Thanks for these reminders to what we can do ourselves. Diet is the key & keeping stress levels low. 🤗Leilani 🌺
Great information! Just diagnosed with T2D. Adopting ketogenic diet. Kaiser won’t prescribe continuous glucose monitors unless you’re injecting insulin which is frustrating because I think it would be very helpful. Just poking my fingers.
Thank you for the great information. I am passing this on to friends and family. I hope they listen. I am making some life changes where I am cutting my sugar intake and many of the carbohydrates. Changing my eating habits has got me to loose 25 lbs over 4 months without much exercise. It is a matter of will power and self motivation.
I emailed the URL for this talk to a friend who is concerned that he is losing his memory. He was overwhelmed by the many undefined words. Is there a beginner's talk that defines insulin, calories, ketones, etc. that I can send to him? When he first heard that there were 4 things he could do to reverse Alzheimer's, he was excited and wanted to share it with his cousin. But, after he had listened to part of it, he said that it was way too technical for his cousin. So, who has a presentation for beginners?
Thank you for all the information !!. I have a question : How come for 15 years of experience I have never came across to a client with dementia, who is diabetic ?
Excellent podcast, just a couple of question on a Ketogenic diet, on my cgm my glucose level are quite high 5.6 to 6.4 is this normal ( during my fasted state) . Will this also raise insulin levels ? Also Ben when is your protein goin to be available in the UK 🇬🇧?
Dr Cywes has several videos explaining this. He says that many of his longtime keto patients start to have their blood glucose creep up. He says this happens because the patients have become so fat adapted, that the body doesn't see the need to produce insulin. Basically they become like Type 1 diabetics whose problem is that they don't produce insulin. His patients have improved by eliciting an insulin challenge at least 1 a week by having a day in which they eat very lean meats and no added fats. The absence of fat forces the body to activate the glucose pathways and to produce insulin. Something similar can be achieved with the consumption of a few low glycemic fruits like berries once a week. This allows the body to remain metabolically flexible, even though you would still be spending most of your time in ketosis
Ignoring the insulin spike in the medical diagnosis purposely is done up until t2d , so providing ample revenue for the food manufactories to sell their products.
According to Dr Dale bredesen who works with Alzheimer's and mild cognitive decline, the brain in that kind of person has a hard time using the ketones. I had gastric sleeve surgery and was eating exactly as you speak and it took me 5 months to transfer from the brain fog of not having glucose helping my brain to ketones. It was a scary time! So I just wanted to mention that in case you wanted to look up Dr bredesen's work.
Maybe it was just my insulin resistance that stopped both the ketone coming in. Because I'm allergic to dairy they put me on a pea protein drink. Which I had to take for 2 months for my protein after the surgery. Could that be the problem? I'm just trying to figure it out. I also have adult ADHD and I think that is also an issue.
I would imagine, in some situations, there is some healing that needs to take place, and there is a transition period for the whole body when switching from glucose adapted to fat adapted. All I know is Dr. Mary Newport talks about the shock she had that it was such a short period of time to see improvements in her husband’s Alzheimer’s test once he started ingesting coconut oil. She started with coconut oil, then MCT oil, then added a ketogenic diet. The trick was to keep him in ketosis all the time. I don’t remember the exact timeframe, but he was trying to get into a clinical trial, and his Alzheimer’s test was too bad when the doctors initially diagnosed him. Bu then she started with the coconut oil, and his test changed so dramatically and he was able to do the clinical trial. It was within a month. It might have even been weeks or days.
@@ronshazbut2723 it would be very insightful to have a unit, perhaps like LEVELS, which could monitor (& store) both glucose & insulin. Reviewing how eating choices impact both of these parameters in our own bodies would be a GREAT tool, in my opinion.
@@alandavis9454 Hi Alan I agree it's the holy grail but unfortunately hormones are very hard to measure I believe it is being worked on but I wouldn't hold your breath.
So did l understand it correctly? The lethargic zombie mode after eating is due to the energy gap in the brain meaning the transient hypoglycemia is causing that tiredness not the rapid spiking in insulin levels in the blood. Please if anybody could answer l would appreciate it.
I'm on a low carb, animal protein, chicken, tuna, olive oil on my 🥗 salad with vinegar or fresh squeezed lemon juice with carbonated water sweetened with Stevia. But most vitamin supplements contain soybean oil, sunflower seed oil, canola oil, safflower oil. It's driving me crazy.
What is the impact on the body if fat cells are removed by liposuction or freezing? In terms of insulin resistance and metabolic disease? Can reduction of fat cells this way have a positive effect on insulin resistance?
I remember my grand grand mother, she was the only one with diabetes I known. Now it is spread even here in Austria. I lived in the US for some time, in what I saw what people eat, no wonder you get sick. You have a sick diet for sure, for me it was perverted and a main reason I could not live in the USA.
68M, fit, why after 7 months Carnivore was my blood glucose high? I was taking 1 gram niacin in my morning coffee. Ketone urine strips show low ketones if any. Thanks!
@@nokieng6502 Thanks Noki. I was referring to longer fasting, 24 hours and up. I recall Dr. B saying he doesn't believe in it or something like that. I call intermittent fasting, 'time restricted eating' to tell it apart from long fasts. Best wishes.
I have listened to another talking to another Dr Ben and he does say fasting is good, intermittent, 24 hrs and 30hrs are to be done even once a month for a good reset of the insulin
Jennifer you have to learn how to do low carb - I have listened to 1000s and 1000s of you tube talks over 2 years and still learning still tweaking = now 80% Carnivore mainly beef, lamb, bacon, eggs, organ meats, fish and shellfish
People say all the time they tried low carb or keto and it didn’t work or they felt horrible. When we’re so used to using glucose for fuel, it can take some time to start using ketones. There is a transition period and it doesn’t always feel so good (headaches, nausea, dizziness, tired, etc). Much of it has to do with not enough electrolytes, especially initially. You said low carb, not keto, so I don’t know if a goal for you was to get into ketosis. When it is, some people just try a list of food and expect the foods to have magical qualities. If you’re just eating fewer carbs and not incorporating some kind of fasting, it can typically take a while to get into ketosis (especially if you’re insulin resistant). That’s why both eating a ketogenic diet and fasting are so great together. People need animal protein and fat to remain healthy. My sister was a vegetarian since she was 11 y.o. She struggled with an eating disorder, fibromyalgia, RA, constipation and gut issues, depression, anxiety, and brain cancer, and died from complication of brain cancer surgery at the age of 47. She was the most unhealthy person I’ve ever seen, and she refused to eat meat. Please stop eating vegan and go back to incorporating animal protein and fats and maybe transition to eating fewer carbs a little more slowly this time.
First off I want to say that I truly respect Dr. Bikman’s point of view. But I disagree with him when he says that is unnatural to eat protein without the fat. Take a look at most fish. Take a look at chicken (w/o skin). Shrimp/prawns. Scallops. AlMostl all protein. Very little if any fat. I think these are quite natural foods. Whole Foods at that.
You say take a look at chicken without skin....... but chicken comes with skin! Why would you eat it w/o skin, so as Dr B eat chicken as protein with the fat. It is idiotic human intervention to eat chicken without skin.
One big thing is to drink 8-10 -16 Oz glasses Water, and cook with/eat only healthy fats (avocado oil, extra virgin olive oil, unrefined coconut oil, ghee, lard) and rarely eat sweets. As in the early 20th century unprocessed food. BACK to Basics.
only issue i have is the concept of “antinutrients”. how is this proven scientifically that phytonutrients block absorption of other vitamins in the vegetables?
Lyme Disease or aluminum toxicity causes Alzheimer’s. Reducing sugar intake may help in the beginning stages but it won’t stop it because it’s just a symptom it is not the cause. Gum disease has also been indicated as a cause.
This episode should be named something else, not Alzheimer...You talk about some great issues that are importan to younger people with other than Alzheimer's, like migraines, please change name so I can share w family and friends. Thank you Doctor.
God bless now and always Dr Igudia. And I really wanted to say a very big thanks for helping me cure my type 2 Diabetes I thought it was the end until I meant you keep saving lives doctor.
Maybe the medical curriculum needs an update? In such a way that the root causes of diseases gets addressed instead of just keep pumping meds to sick people and just keep making all this corporations rich and the people poorer. Cause based on all this recent RUclips videos there is a free solution to all this health issues... I too lost 35 lbs with fasting ( free) and less sugar, less processed foods, less carbs diet.
Good question. I'm not sure, but in my case, when I've had high levels of ketones, my glucose has dropped into the 30s several times and I had no symptoms at all. I only knew it because I got a ketomojo device to check ketosis and checked glucose out of curiosity.
control carbs, eat animal protein, no plant protein powders, no processed shelf foods, eat good fats. I'll add, exercise, rest, take a nap each day for 15 minutes, enjoy your family and friends, have fun every week doing stuff you love to do. QUIT WATCHING MAINSTREAM NEWS.

Best line “in every way plant protein is inferior to animal protein “. If only vegans could see through their plant based glasses and admit that.

Are you getting g bit d from sun or supplement? 80% of population is deficient.
Did you give your body time to adjust. It took me 3 months. How exactly did you “try” low carb. For how long. It is a great deal of commitment.
Jennifer you have to learn how to do low carb - I have listened to 1000s and 1000s of you tube talks over 2 years and still learning still tweaking = now 80% Carnivore mainly beef, lamb, bacon, eggs, organ meats, fish and shellfish
People say all the time they tried low carb or keto and it didn’t work or they felt horrible. When we’re so used to using glucose for fuel, it can take some time to start using ketones. There is a transition period and it doesn’t always feel so good (headaches, nausea, dizziness, tired, etc). Much of it has to do with not enough electrolytes, especially initially.
You said low carb, not keto, so I don’t know if a goal for you was to get into ketosis. When it is, some people just try a list of food and expect the foods to have magical qualities. If you’re just eating fewer carbs and not incorporating some kind of fasting, it can typically take a while to get into ketosis (especially if you’re insulin resistant). That’s why both eating a ketogenic diet and fasting are so great together.
People need animal protein and fat to remain healthy. My sister was a vegetarian since she was 11 y.o. She struggled with an eating disorder, fibromyalgia, RA, constipation and gut issues, depression, anxiety, and brain cancer, and died from complication of brain cancer surgery at the age of 47. She was the most unhealthy person I’ve ever seen, and she refused to eat meat.
Please stop eating vegan and go back to incorporating animal protein and fats and maybe transition to eating fewer carbs a little more slowly this time.
@LauraB.335 my comment was 2 years ago. I gave low carb another try and it's been great. Thank you for your reply ❤
I tried HLTH CODE because I work 10 hour shifts and no time for fancy food. HLTH code keeps me full and energized!
Yogurt, cheese, butter?
First off I want to say that I truly respect Dr. Bikman’s point of view. But I disagree with him when he says that is unnatural to eat protein without the fat. Take a look at most fish. Take a look at chicken (w/o skin). Shrimp/prawns. Scallops. AlMostl all protein. Very little if any fat. I think these are quite natural foods. Whole Foods at that.
Nooo. Fish is very fatty and so is chicken, yes even the white meat chicken.
You say take a look at chicken without skin....... but chicken comes with skin! Why would you eat it w/o skin, so as Dr B eat chicken as protein with the fat. It is idiotic human intervention to eat chicken without skin.
Lol! Chicken wtout skin. That's unnatural
Sheep eating grass…
Did you try the Siete ALMOND flower grain free tortillas?
What about autism and insulin resistance?
I drink relyte pina colada in the afternoon will this affect my insulin levels after walking or squats?
Yes
Relyte is was better than most electrolyte drinks. I drink it and I eat very low carb. I would think you are doing well.
Alcohol causes leaky gut,allowing toxins into the blood stream
At 1 hour and five minutes into the podcast could this information also be the cause of POTS where so many have a surge of symptoms after eating?
You need to look at the vitamin d3 protocol Susan Ryan and Dr. Livinggood
One big thing is to drink 8-10 -16 Oz glasses Water, and cook with/eat only healthy fats (avocado oil, extra virgin olive oil, unrefined coconut oil, ghee, lard) and rarely eat sweets. As in the early 20th century unprocessed food. BACK to Basics.
only issue i have is the concept of “antinutrients”. how is this proven scientifically that phytonutrients block absorption of other vitamins in the vegetables?
Does insulin resistance cause/effect Eczema?
Neem soap really helped my eczema. I get it on amazon.
Lyme Disease or aluminum toxicity causes Alzheimer’s. Reducing sugar intake may help in the beginning stages but it won’t stop it because it’s just a symptom it is not the cause. Gum disease has also been indicated as a cause.
Do you follow Dr Dale Bredesen? Leading the way and reversing dementia.
Sounds good to me😉
Do sardines count in the animal protein category?
Ofcourse they do 👍
Meditate daily also!
What about fruit that has been sprayed
Fruit causes fatty liver disease and increase in body fat.
washbit or dont eat it... I use a vinegar & dish soap spray or you can soak and rinse
Foods I should please
This episode should be named something else, not Alzheimer...You talk about some great issues that are importan to younger people with other than Alzheimer's, like migraines, please change name so I can share w family and friends. Thank you Doctor.
Affordability is hard when I'm buying what I can afford (sad)
Unless you're living on beans & rice, decent low carb foods are cheaper than prepackaged, highly processed & sugar laden foods.
Gummies are my kryptonite! I have to just have a one step program of NEVER!
God bless now and always Dr Igudia. And I really wanted to say a very big thanks for helping me cure my type 2 Diabetes I thought it was the end until I meant you keep saving lives doctor.
Maybe the medical curriculum needs an update? In such a way that the root causes of diseases gets addressed instead of just keep pumping meds to sick people and just keep making all this corporations rich and the people poorer. Cause based on all this recent RUclips videos there is a free solution to all this health issues... I too lost 35 lbs with fasting ( free) and less sugar, less processed foods, less carbs diet.
If you had taken ketones BHB when you were crashing to a low glucose, would that have helped the brain faster?
yes, its used as a crutch to avoid the discomfort when your brain is trying to adjust to switching from carbs.
@@WebSurfingIsMyPastime but would it have helped Ben when his blood sugar dropped to 40s
@@dort5436 don't know.
Good question. I'm not sure, but in my case, when I've had high levels of ketones, my glucose has dropped into the 30s several times and I had no symptoms at all. I only knew it because I got a ketomojo device to check ketosis and checked glucose out of curiosity.
I thought his said egg whites are a good source of animal protein? Did he mean to say Yolk?
I think he said egg whites are a good source of animal FAT.
