I am a South African medical doctor, working in South Africa and follow a lot of research work including Dr Bickman's. Every day I wish we had been told these at medical school. Our professors taught us the standard of care and told us it is evidence based. Today my colleagues speak ill of me, some say I am fake. Seeing things weren't going to change, I opened my own hospital in my local town and are practicing Functional Health Care. It is so rewarding! The people we have helped run into big numbers and with my team we are hard at work.
Thank the Lord for doctors like you, and researchers like Dr Bikman and Dr Ken Berry. Maybe the standards of care will change because the way they are now is killing and destroying lives.
I wish you the best of the best! You have to be very wise and brave enough to go this direction on your own. But your results are your best answers. Thanks for the comment.
I wish I had found this information 20 years ago. I was diagnosed type 2 in 2003 with a fasting blood sugar above 650. I have had all of these symptoms for at least part of the past 20 years and am hoping that it isn't too late to repair. I was up to 350 units of insulin per day 6 months ago, but with long term water fasts for the past 2 months, I am completely off of the meds. Thank you so much!
About 25 years ago I had several skin tags on my neck. I had heard thru a functional/alternative medicine organization this was a sign of insulin resistance/metabolic disorder and impending diabetes. I asked my regular allopathic doctor if this was so and he laughingly told me no. Typical run of the mill American doctor was clueless.
It may be too late to fully repair (or maybe not), but it's certainly not too late to become much, much, much healthier than you are right now. There's no other way but up, and that's worth something on its own!
Amazingly my biology teacher taught us that when we eat fat in a meal the fat in the stomach signals the brain and turns off the hunger signals. Wonderful teacher.
Dr. Ben Bikman… saving many lives and making them better one day at a time. What an amazing human being! Can you imagine someone like Dr. Bikman being the head of …. say… like… the NIH?
Except for the fact that he walked right up to the line and then didn't commit. He didn't say don't eat carbohydrates. He said eat so-called good carbohydrates. He said it wouldn't be palatable for him to tell the truth and say that people should eat a primarily carnivore diet. But that is what we should eat and he wasn't willing to say it.
@@Kyarrix overtime. I’ve listened to Dr. Ben Beckman a number of times he has said on several occasions when he eats his evening meal with his family he chooses to eats like the rest of the family. He’s gone on bike rides with the family and had candy, mind you he realizes he also said that he’ll bike hard to try to burn down the carbs but yeah he does at times eat carbs. I’m not saying he has a large amount and I do believe he practises what he preaches.
Completely agree. I lost only 4kg (5%) in one year with exercise and trying to eat less all the time. Didn't work great. Then I cut carbs (no bread, pasta, potatoes, sweet stuff), added walking and easy cycling, then 16/8 fasting 2 meals high protein and fat, and I lost 8kg (10%) within 2 month. And I was not hungry. Key is low intensity exercise to keep blood sugar stable and not drop low.
I bought several copies of Dr. Bikman's book and gavi it as gifts to my friends who were struggling with health and excess weight, as well as my endocrinologist. She was so grateful. After reading this book, she thanked me with tears in her eyes, saying that it was eye opening to her as a specialist!
Great idea..I a, about to,buy a couple for family members…I have skirted diabetes because I have watched my diet…but still learning so much. I started a ketogenic diet and wow…no hunger…no more starvation diets for me. I can now comfortably control my diet without feeling hungry all the time. Hoping my family members listen.
In 2011. I was 375 with an triglyceride/hdl ratio over 4. This month at 54. My triglycerides/hdl ratio is right at 1.04. Down 160lbs. 50 more to go. Whole food and fasting has made a huge difference.
I feel Mr Bennett’s frustration with his parents’s declining health. I watched my dad die of T2 diabetes while my step mom ignored anything I told her about not feeding him so much sugar products to include Ensure shakes. It was heartbreaking. 😢
My insulin resistant symptoms were misdiagnosed as anxiety by 2 doctors. The doctors only prescribed me anti-anxiety meds. It's probably because I told them that my job (at the time) was causing me extreme stress. I tried to tell them I think its something more but they kept dismissing it as just anxiety even after blood work. Since the doctors couldn't help me, I knew I had to try to help myself. My diet had been very bad (lots of sugar & carbs) coupled with high stress which is what lead to the super bad symptoms. After lots of research, I decided I would need to lower my stress levels by quiting my high stress job and then change to a healthier diet. I chose a anti-inflammatory diet. After a few months, my symptoms were gone. It's been almost a year now and my symptoms never returned.
@kellio8087 Depends what you call an anti-inflammatory diet.if it was no carbs but animal protein and fat only that's good, if not, then it may have been not optimal diet and you could still do even better.
Well done you! I spent 40 years on anti-anxiety drugs before taking control of my diet. First Keto and now carnivore, I have weaned myself off the drugs and now have none of the anxiety symptoms. It’s truly amazing.
@@annettestephens5337 heck yeah! That's exciting. Now if you pair that with daily alternating strength training & cardio, 7-9 hours quality sleep, and some breathing techniques for stress... you'll probably live to a very quality 95 years old still doing some pushups!
So enjoyed this! Love Ben he explains insulin so perfectly for everyone who isn’t medically knowledgeable. I reversed my fibromyalgia five years ago following the ketogenic lifestyle after suffering horrible life impacting symptoms, I’m now ketovore and feeling even better , I will be 69 in January, looking forward to enjoying a long and active “old age” 😊
There's a couple very interesting articles that established a STRONG correlation between insulin resistance (lifestyle choices of too little strength & cardio exercise, too much refined foods & sweets or alcohol most often). They treated the group with Metformin (prediabetes drug) and they saw a significant pain reduction. Not ironic at all
Diagnosed type 2 diabetes, A1C 6.2 My doctor told me wanted me to loose weight had gained 30 pounds in 6 months Told me to cut out all ultra processed food, no seed oils. Now my vegetables are fresh or frozen, fruit fresh or frozen. started back using butter and lard, never gave up eggs. in three months lost 20 pounds, A1C down to 5.6. My doctor said that High Fructose Corn Syrup in ultra processed food was my problem.
In six weeks on my health journey, and hundreds of hours of absorbing content, this by far is the best discussion that I have fed to my brain 🧠. Well done gentlemen!!!
I FINALLY get how glucose and insulin work in this whole insulinemia thing. I knew I have that but didn't understand the connection thoroughly. Thank you!!!!
Same here, I started a year and half ago, and every time I watch one if these videos it makes more and more sense to me, and at the end of the day it all boils down to eliminating sugar and ultra processed foods and moderate exercise with extended fasting,, fasting works good for me and I feel great while doing it 👍
I'm just gonna leave some timestamps here. 38:16 He illustrates our standard American diet and how it spikes insulin. 41:23 he goes into some great nutritional advice about what kinds of carbs, proteins, and fats you want to look for. 48:45 sugar equivalency food chart 50:11 talks about the "food compass" chart shown in the beginning
I always thought the idea of giving someone who's insulin resistant more insulin to "Cure" them ridiculous. My grandfather pretty much killed himself doing that because at some point he figured he'd regulate his insulin intake himself while eating even more sugary food. He almost lost a leg in the process when he was at the hospital and was making kind of a recovery. Then he felt like eating pizza while he was still at the hospital and the moronic doctor in charge that day gave him the go to eat whatever he wanted. He didn't last too long after that. I'm starting to think doctors nowadays get their medical degree in the same place their patients got Type 2 Diabetes... A cereal box...

As a fitness trainer I can do something more after reading” why we get sick” Not just fitness training. It’s the only book that explains clearly 29:50 about insulin resistance and it’s results.
I saw my relative start on 2 blood pressure meds He ended up with a fib arterial disease prostate cancer. Psoriasis and now diabetic. He takes sixteen tablets per day. He swears that his doctors are helping him. I am a few years younger I am keto Carnivore that's my medicine. And I swim and walk outdoors when I can.
Maybe get your relative to watch the free documentary Fat Fiction and then maybe read or listen to Dr. Ken D Berry's book Lies My Doctor Told Me? Might work.
@@MrBDezno I will try to get him to do that. He is a bit my Doctors are the experts kinda person. I think these releases him from taking ownership of looking after himself and his health. 🙏🤗
Grains and wheat were my biggest thorns…went on keto mid 2021..what a positive change…This is a great discussion..I know many who won’t relate their diet with the medical problems they currently have. They prefer swallowing pills.
I recently figured out that grains are messing me up. I feel so much better simply by not eating wheat products. It does suck though because bread is one of my favorite things. And no substitute is as good as whole wheat bread
I ate “clean” but I wasn’t ever truly satiated. I would “need” to munch on cookies, dark chocolates, muffins and leftovers at 9pm when cleaning my kitchen. Carnivore has been incredible in shutting off the sugar addict in me.
I have never seen such a passionate about knowledge and such a smart guy. He has such a lively mind as a gifted twenty-year-old. Listening to him is pure pleasure.
Three weeks after dumping highly refined wheat/gluten & most refined sugar my blood pressure dropped & I dumped the evil Valsartan. That was 15 years ago & I’ve never needed any BP meds since…..
We now not only have individuals suffering from carbohydrate rich diets but whole countries stopping or restricting beef production. This is ignorance bordering on genocide.
I've listened to this explanation multiple times from multiple podcasts etc BUT BUT BUT .. THIS is the BEST all-time video I've had the pleasure of hearing that brings it all together in layman's terms. Or, maybe I'm getting smarter or my memory is improving (which i seriously doubt... ) ... TY

Wow this is so appreciated , I think I had insulin resistance my food made me sick and had stomach pain . I have been doing the 16 / 8 fast for 2 months and that has all gone , my body seemed to tell me what to do . Don’t get hungry any more , + I have smaller portions when I do eat . My husband has reversed his type2 diabetes , but just with diet , not fasted yet . Feel so much better my BP is under control . Thank you for making me feel like I’m on the right track . Your lecture was amazing, hope GP listen to you .
The insulin tree in this video at the 4:30 mark is nothing short of brilliant, Steve. I'd like to see it expanded. In the roots, I'd like to see "inflammation", I know it's at the top and needs to be there but it needs to be there as a root cause as well. Mal absorption needs to be there as well, as it's a precursor to "nutritional deficiencies" which also need to be there. B1, B6 & Choline are common deficiencies that lead to a fatty liver, but are also causal to insulin resistance. Vitamin D makes the list and certain minerals should be closely examined as well. A cut/paste: "Markers of liver fat such as serum alanine aminotransferase activity have been shown to predict type 2 diabetes in several studies independent of obesity. The fatty liver thus may help to explain why some but not all obese individuals are insulin resistant and why even lean individuals may be insulin resistant, and thereby at risk of developing type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease." At the top of the tree, comb through Dominic D'Agostino's online videos to grow the list @ the 15 min mark of "Optimizing Ketogenic Nutrition". Type 1 Diabetes, POTS and epilepsy should be on the top of the tree above. Kabuki Syndrome, Anesthesia resistance, Oxygen toxicity seizures, epilepsy, Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, Dravet and Doose syndrome, while much lesser known mental illnesses, should also make the list. There are more. It should be noted that insulin resistance doesn't directly cause these diseases but couples up with other causes to do so. When parts of the brain become insulin resistant, the brain can't feed the cells the percentage of fuels it's used to running on (mainly glucose at 95 to 97% in a high carb diet). Remember, the brain (and heart) prefers to run on 72% Ketones. If Ketones are not present as an alternative fuel, the brain or parts of the brain experiencing insulin resistance starves of glucose. Without Ketones to switch to, the brain or parts of the brain become atrophied or experience cellular death in the same way as dementia and Alzheimer's. The disease depends on the area of deprivation. A couple things that really struck me with Dominic's exploration of Ketosis was the ability to hold one's breath for twice as long (mitochondria strips glucose from fatty acids far more efficiently). Another test with humans under 5x atmospheric pressures allowed humans to live 15 to 20 minutes as opposed to passing out the usual 5 minutes for someone not in Ketosis. These are not practical conditions to live in, but suggest that oxygen deprivation is far less likely to happen while in Ketosis due to major changes to the Mitochondria being repurposed to run on Ketones as opposed to glucose. This isn't entirely related to the brain. The heart contrary to popular opinion, also likes to run on majority ketones. When the heart is fueled by the fuel it prefers to run on (ketones), the volume of blood is increased feeding more nutrients (and oxygen) to the brain. ;) Now... lets grow this tree to it's full ugly hideous splendor!
@Ludakris When we are fasting, our kidneys improve on the elimination of salts. Part of it is related to burning glycogen early on as Glycogen is saturated in Potassium as a fight or flight ready to go fuel to burn. Potassium as we should know, is the antagonist to sodium. Normally during a fast as a consequence of running low on sodium (iodine can also play a role here), one will experience cold hands and cold feet. You are however, experiencing cramps which is unusual because it suggests that one is low on potassium (I'm a big promoter of juice fasting to rebalance PH myself). Since Potassium is the antagonist to sodium, if we have too much sodium in our system, potassium will flush it out (and vice versa) but this can lead to a potassium deficiency (and therefore cramps). Have you been taking salts for a fast, perhaps too many? Because we should, but there are limits as to what to take. Otherwise, I would suggest one check out some you tube videos. Do a search on foot cramps and see what Dr. Berg has to say on "feet cramping". "Feet & Keto Leg Cramps at Night on Ketogenic Diet?: Dr.Berg" Cramps are often (but not always) caused by a deficiency and Dr. Berg is in the high 90's specific to deficiencies. Sometimes people on Keto concentrate too much on the macro and forget to eat enough greens. Always try to put greens on the plate. ;)
We were always meant as human beings to get our protein from eating animals for ever not for plants, and that hasn’t changed just because some people have social issues with eating animal foods
Complete nonsense! If you knew even basic school level biology and evolution you would know that human beings evolved… to eat whatever food was around. Between the tropics fruit grows 12 months a year so they were consumed in large quantities. There is scientific evidence of aboriginal peoples using tools to grub up root vegetables and eat them. Frozen ice age man has been found with grains in their stomach.
Animal protein is fine ....it's just needs to be cooked the right way and eaten in moderation ...humans were never meant to consume meat frequently in large quantities .....but now most are eating meat products 3 or more times a day !!!!!
That was interesting about the 1 year fast. To recap what I think I heard, it tells me that insulin stores what our bodies need and keeps doing it as we eat more and more carbs, until we become fat. This man's body was able to survive because of the stored nutrients, namely fat. When I started the carnivore diet I barely ate, but I had excess fat, about 20lbs. It was about 3 months later, after eating very little meat/fat, I started to eat more. The body had used up the stored fat, so I was hungrier, if I have it right. thank you for interviewing Dr. Bikman.
I went all in and cut insulin spiking foods, ie all processed foods and grains, and fasted from 7pm to 11 a.m. Wow , I dropped 12 lbs in 3 weeks. I walked and did some resistance bands to tone up. M😊uscle helps to burn fat as well.
Actual steps how to lower down or eliminate insulin resistance … please tell us how to proceed ahead , that is the most important news to hear for any person, 🛎🛎🛎 the research studies, we are happy to hear about their results, BUT not important for a regular person, just use the results to give us advice how to lower or eliminate insulin resistance Thank you 😊 🇨🇦
Thank you for this interview. Ben Bikman is one of my favorites. Such an understated, kind, amazingly intelligent man sharing so willingly this very important information about his work. He's one of the heros among the other giants in this low-carb field~ His information is saving countless lives of the open-minded...me included!
I needed this. My Dr wahts me on Ozempic but I can not afford (and want to heal my disease). She put me on Januvia instead. I researched that Januvua works by causing the pancreas to release more insulin. When I went back a month later my Dr complained bc I had gained 3 lbs. I only eat once a day and fast a day or two a week. I am so ready to be done with medications.
I tried semaglutide (=Ozempic). You lose muscle; when you stop, you gain it all back. I had rashes I couldn’t fix and 3-1/2 months of increasing misery. Don’t do it! Go keto or carnivore. You will be in control of the process and feel much better!
This video has some amazing information in it. Some videos have a nugget or two- this video kept them coming. I appreciate it so much when doctors explain the physiology, and not just say do this and don't do that.
I appreciate the responses… tried to edit my initial comment when I listened to the rest of the lecture, but couldn’t. I do eat poultry and fish, but agree that protein as a whole needs to be increased. Working on that. Thanks again!
Another oustanding interview with medical scientist I have only just come across and already greatly admire. Thank you very much to Dr Bikman and to everyone else involved.
Haven't we all been told "eat less, exercise more". That didn't work. Of course we are being told that by a fat, unhealthy doctor. 1st get a full panel blood test. See what your body needs. Eat carnavor, no sugar. Feel better than ever ❤ I really enjoyed the conversation. Excellent information.
The reason it didn’t work is quite simply because people didn’t follow the advice ! If they had then there would be no obesity and health crisis. Being overweight and not exercising is a huge contributor to the world health crisis. The current obsession with Keto is going to reap untold long term damage - look at Paul Saladino’s experience. Intake of dietary fibre has the highest correlation with a reduction in all cause mortality. Insulin production is a fantastic evolutionary trait and just to put the record straight Whey Protein powder spikes insulin ok.
@@marcdaniels9079 I have been in good shape all of my life but when I hit menopause that's when diet and exercise didn't work for me. I discovered I was missing some key hormones. A great doctor and a blood test helped me. I still workout most days but I don't kill my self in the gym anymore. I feel great on a carnivore diet. My Blood work is A+. I don't eat sugar but on special occasions.
Amazing interview! Amazing channel. Share your frustrations as a newly awoken nurse who has only been looking into actual health since leaving organised healthcare. I believed and trusted everything I was taught. Heartbroken and hopeful all at the same time. Thanks for what you are doing ❤
That's great news, and now that it's been a couple months I strongly urge you to gradually ramp up your strength training! Don't go crazy, just start with maybe some squats at the sink and some knee pushups, curl some half gallons of water too, etc. Over the coming months, do more reps+ more resistance
@53:17 - - life long patient .... If you read the "nutritional" panel, in the USA, on the foods that you buy, you will see that the amount of Carbs that are recommended on a daily basis is 250 grams per day!!!! And this is the information that is being taught to drs and nutritionists so that they can "educate" us patients...
As with every podcast I've seen with Dr. Bikman, this was fantastic. I did have one question, though. I have a good friend who has prostate cancer. His doctors tell him that prostate cancer is androgen driven and not sugar driven and this is why prostate cancer patients go on hormone blockers to stop the production of androgen. So, how does this square with the end of this podcast where you say that all cancers feed off of glucose? I'm confused.
I have been on carnivore for 5.5 months and I’m still not in ketosis or have lost any weight. This video tells me that my body is still in insulin resistance! I will begin today to increase my fat intake. I’m not eating more than one meal a day for the most part. I’m just not burning my own fat.
That was the easiest to understand insulin to hbp to heart disease to everything else glucose spiking information! I wish that my friends would pay attention. 😢Thank you Ben🙏
Skin tags, when I questioned my doctors they told me to thank my Mother and genetics. Now I'm using diet to reverse my type 2 diabetic diagnosis 15 years later.
I love this video just can’t understand the guy interviewing him. I have to move him forward. Now I know why I fall so much! Omg! Best information ever. Omg! Now I understand what happened to me when I fell a couple of times.
I have a difficult decition to make comment most favorably the life saving talk of Dr. Bickman or his valour in exposing the naked truth about the origen of so many serious and "incurable diseases, for which their pharmaceutical control, represent a high percentage of BIG pharma revenues. The comments sent previously testfy to both excellences, worthy of our most heartfelt thanks.
Please let Dr speaker explain and keep talking on the topic esp that his time is limited.. rather than interupting him .. on the long run he answers possible questions. I would appreciate it.. that way I can clearly follow his points. Thank you
I agree. Dr Bikman would be explaining something with several points, only to be interrupted. Dr. Bikman picked up the thread easily, but I could not. If the interviewer has questions or comments, went for a break in the topic. Even with this, this was an excellent video with a ton of helpful and usable information. I plan to watch it again and take copious notes. I will put this information to work for myself, and hopefully can help my best friend who is diabetic and was just put on a stronger med.
I was probably insulin resistant because I do have skin-tags on my neck. However, since I started Keto, my skin-tags have reduced in size. They have become much smaller but not gone away. Does that mean I am surely but slowly getting more insulin sensitive?
I am impressed with Dr. Bikman's talk, and I am frustrated by the host here that interrupts him with dumb comments just when the doctor is touching the most interesting topics, throwing off the conversation. I am not interested in Steve Bennett's father's health and other details of his life, I want to hear... DR. BIKMAN! So please Steve, can you keep your mouth shut and let him talk? I am leaving this video to look for another interview of him with less disruptive host, or directly buy his book "Why we get sick".
@@M.Sforza Unfair on Steve. He let Ben run for long lengths. There is nothing wrong with a few personal anecdotes to illustrate points. You missed something mighty.
Fabulous! So many thanks!!! A little question is about the fact that often people don’t eat because they feel hunger but just because they have the habit and lack of discipline. How would you reinforce the psicological side of this issue?. Thanks!
I have that problem. Very unhealthy relationship with food. I can snack and eat when I’m not hungry. Finally I started doing alternate day fasting. I eat one day and not the next. So for example I eat on Monday and stop eating at 7 pm. I don’t eat again until Wednesday morning. I go 36-40 hours without food, depending when I start eating on Wed morning. Then I eat normally. 2 or 3 meals but I must be done by 7. No snacking in between. Period. I am strict with myself. This has allowed me to really learn hunger from appetite. Since I am someone who can snack, snack, snack, even if I’m full, I discovered my personality is all or nothing. If I start eating I can be undisciplined and not stop, but if I’m fasting I can be super committed and not cheat. My problem is the in between state where I watch what I eat and restrict my calories. That’s when I lose control. Eating normally 4 days a week and fasting 3 days has broken my weird food addictions that I had. It also reversed my insulin resistance. On the days that I eat, i detect when I am full and I stop. I am not depriving my body, so my metabolism stays high. I have energy. I exercise. On my fast days, I am calm and peaceful. I drink water and a morning coffee with MCT oil. I only go on a long walk, 3-4 miles and go to bed early. When I eat, I only have any combination of the following foods: fish, grass fed beef, poultry, avocados, nuts, olives and olive oil, pumpkin seeds, eggs, yogurt, butter, leafy greens, cruciferous vegetables, blackberries, coffee with MCT, and fresh lemons. I make simple meals and not having many choices is the best thing for me.
I've been a fan of Ben's work and videos for the past year - fantastic that you had him on. And congratulations on a great interview style - you let him have the floor (which certain other health promoters I won't name fail to do when interviewing!).

I have had all of these symptoms for at least part of the past 20 years and am hoping that it isn't too late to repair. I was up to 350 units of insulin per day 6 months ago, but with long term water fasts for the past 2 months, I am completely off of the meds. Thank you so much!

Take a look for the Reversed documentaries and be encouraged.
It may be too late to fully repair (or maybe not), but it's certainly not too late to become much, much, much healthier than you are right now. There's no other way but up, and that's worth something on its own!

Completely agree. I lost only 4kg (5%) in one year with exercise and trying to eat less all the time. Didn't work great. Then I cut carbs (no bread, pasta, potatoes, sweet stuff), added walking and easy cycling, then 16/8 fasting 2 meals high protein and fat, and I lost 8kg (10%) within 2 month. And I was not hungry.
Key is low intensity exercise to keep blood sugar stable and not drop low.
low intensity is effective more-so due to not triggering cortisol allowing fat to burn
@@RibeyeRules Fasting is also key. Carnivore is the way to go.

I bought several copies of Dr. Bikman's book and gavi it as gifts to my friends who were struggling with health and excess weight, as well as my endocrinologist. She was so grateful. After reading this book, she thanked me with tears in her eyes, saying that it was eye opening to her as a specialist!
WOW, good for her!
Great idea..I a, about to,buy a couple for family members…I have skirted diabetes because I have watched my diet…but still learning so much. I started a ketogenic diet and wow…no hunger…no more starvation diets for me. I can now comfortably control my diet without feeling hungry all the time. Hoping my family members listen.
In 2011. I was 375 with an triglyceride/hdl ratio over 4. This month at 54. My triglycerides/hdl ratio is right at 1.04. Down 160lbs. 50 more to go. Whole food and fasting has made a huge difference.
That's fantastic!! Congratulations.

I feel Mr Bennett’s frustration with his parents’s declining health. I watched my dad die of T2 diabetes while my step mom ignored anything I told her about not feeding him so much sugar products to include Ensure shakes. It was heartbreaking. 😢
Same.
My insulin resistant symptoms were misdiagnosed as anxiety by 2 doctors. The doctors only prescribed me anti-anxiety meds. It's probably because I told them that my job (at the time) was causing me extreme stress. I tried to tell them I think its something more but they kept dismissing it as just anxiety even after blood work. Since the doctors couldn't help me, I knew I had to try to help myself. My diet had been very bad (lots of sugar & carbs) coupled with high stress which is what lead to the super bad symptoms. After lots of research, I decided I would need to lower my stress levels by quiting my high stress job and then change to a healthier diet. I chose a anti-inflammatory diet. After a few months, my symptoms were gone. It's been almost a year now and my symptoms never returned.
Great job! Not enough people in our culture care about being healthy. Hope you've started strength training & cardio as well 💪😊
@kellio8087 Depends what you call an anti-inflammatory diet.if it was no carbs but animal protein and fat only that's good, if not, then it may have been not optimal diet and you could still do even better.
@@lippylennnox extremely low carbs
Well done you! I spent 40 years on anti-anxiety drugs before taking control of my diet. First Keto and now carnivore, I have weaned myself off the drugs and now have none of the anxiety symptoms. It’s truly amazing.
@@annettestephens5337 heck yeah! That's exciting. Now if you pair that with daily alternating strength training & cardio, 7-9 hours quality sleep, and some breathing techniques for stress... you'll probably live to a very quality 95 years old still doing some pushups!
So enjoyed this! Love Ben he explains insulin so perfectly for everyone who isn’t medically knowledgeable. I reversed my fibromyalgia five years ago following the ketogenic lifestyle after suffering horrible life impacting symptoms, I’m now ketovore and feeling even better , I will be 69 in January, looking forward to enjoying a long and active “old age” 😊
There's a couple very interesting articles that established a STRONG correlation between insulin resistance (lifestyle choices of too little strength & cardio exercise, too much refined foods & sweets or alcohol most often).
They treated the group with Metformin (prediabetes drug) and they saw a significant pain reduction. Not ironic at all
❤ Super Great Podcast! ❤
Very wrong! Keto is absolutely the worst. Eggs and fat and animal protein will KILL you much sooner. 46:11
What's ketovore
Diagnosed type 2 diabetes, A1C 6.2 My doctor told me wanted me to loose weight had gained 30 pounds in 6 months Told me to cut out all ultra processed food, no seed oils. Now my vegetables are fresh or frozen, fruit fresh or frozen. started back using butter and lard, never gave up eggs. in three months lost 20 pounds, A1C down to 5.6. My doctor said that High Fructose Corn Syrup in ultra processed food was my problem.
Is this diabetes already or prediabetes?
Prediabetes
Well done
You would probably be doing someone a favor if you published your town and the name of the doctor. People are looking for doctors like this.
In six weeks on my health journey, and hundreds of hours of absorbing content, this by far is the best discussion that I have fed to my brain 🧠. Well done gentlemen!!!

I FINALLY get how glucose and insulin work in this whole insulinemia thing. I knew I have that but didn't understand the connection thoroughly. Thank you!!!!
Same here, I started a year and half ago, and every time I watch one if these videos it makes more and more sense to me, and at the end of the day it all boils down to eliminating sugar and ultra processed foods and moderate exercise with extended fasting,, fasting works good for me and I feel great while doing it 👍

Fat is what raises insulin resistance not carbs. lol what a quack
Thank you very much. Those minutes are the heart of his presentation.
thaaaanks!!!
I love Ben Bickman he is a bio scientist. Helped me get my life back.
It's amazing being fat adapted. No more getting hangry and having to eat within 1/2 hour of feeling hungry.
I always thought the idea of giving someone who's insulin resistant more insulin to "Cure" them ridiculous. My grandfather pretty much killed himself doing that because at some point he figured he'd regulate his insulin intake himself while eating even more sugary food. He almost lost a leg in the process when he was at the hospital and was making kind of a recovery. Then he felt like eating pizza while he was still at the hospital and the moronic doctor in charge that day gave him the go to eat whatever he wanted. He didn't last too long after that.
I'm starting to think doctors nowadays get their medical degree in the same place their patients got Type 2 Diabetes... A cereal box...
I had major back surgery in 2018 and had to have a one on one meeting with the nutritionist to get the food service to understand what “no grains, sugars or starches” really means. SMDH
Doctors do not want their patients to be free of their fis3ses even they never tell what to do.

You’re right!
Grains and wheat were my biggest thorns…went on keto mid 2021..what a positive change…This is a great discussion..I know many who won’t relate their diet with the medical problems they currently have. They prefer swallowing pills.
I recently figured out that grains are messing me up. I feel so much better simply by not eating wheat products. It does suck though because bread is one of my favorite things. And no substitute is as good as whole wheat bread
@@williamkreth I use almond flour and cauliflower wraps for substitute.
@@Momtocam1997 They also have egg wraps, or you can make them, that are great too!
@@HecticMolments I use them, as well as the cauliflower ones.
I ate “clean” but I wasn’t ever truly satiated. I would “need” to munch on cookies, dark chocolates, muffins and leftovers at 9pm when cleaning my kitchen. Carnivore has been incredible in shutting off the sugar addict in me.
I have never seen such a passionate about knowledge and such a smart guy. He has such a lively mind as a gifted twenty-year-old.
Listening to him is pure pleasure.
Thank you Dr Bickaman! Makes everything SO much easier to understand 👍
Three weeks after dumping highly refined wheat/gluten & most refined sugar my blood pressure dropped & I dumped the evil Valsartan. That was 15 years ago & I’ve never needed any BP meds since…..
I just love Ben Bikman! He makes it so understandable.
Fabulous interview. I think my mistake has been to cut meat out of my diet. I did cut out simple carbs which is good but I need to eat more protein.
Please re watch 41min up to 45 min. you missed that part which is the summary
We now not only have individuals suffering from carbohydrate rich diets but whole countries stopping or restricting beef production. This is ignorance bordering on genocide.
@bonniebenz watch Dr. Layman and Dr. Gabrielle Lyon - they research protein. Dr. Layman is “the” protein guy.
I love Dr. Bikman I can listen to him days on end! Thank you for what you do best!! 🙏🏻
Ben explains insulin resistance very nicely. I would love being a student of his.
I've listened to this explanation multiple times from multiple podcasts etc BUT BUT BUT .. THIS is the BEST all-time video I've had the pleasure of hearing that brings it all together in layman's terms. Or, maybe I'm getting smarter or my memory is improving (which i seriously doubt... ) ... TY

Dr Bikman explains insulin so well. Thank you ❤
The insulin tree in this video at the 4:30 mark is nothing short of brilliant, Steve. I'd like to see it expanded. In the roots, I'd like to see "inflammation", I know it's at the top and needs to be there but it needs to be there as a root cause as well. Mal absorption needs to be there as well, as it's a precursor to "nutritional deficiencies" which also need to be there. B1, B6 & Choline are common deficiencies that lead to a fatty liver, but are also causal to insulin resistance. Vitamin D makes the list and certain minerals should be closely examined as well.
A cut/paste: "Markers of liver fat such as serum alanine aminotransferase activity have been shown to predict type 2 diabetes in several studies independent of obesity. The fatty liver thus may help to explain why some but not all obese individuals are insulin resistant and why even lean individuals may be insulin resistant, and thereby at risk of developing type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease."
At the top of the tree, comb through Dominic D'Agostino's online videos to grow the list @ the 15 min mark of "Optimizing Ketogenic Nutrition". Type 1 Diabetes, POTS and epilepsy should be on the top of the tree above.
Kabuki Syndrome, Anesthesia resistance, Oxygen toxicity seizures, epilepsy, Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, Dravet and Doose syndrome, while much lesser known mental illnesses, should also make the list. There are more. It should be noted that insulin resistance doesn't directly cause these diseases but couples up with other causes to do so. When parts of the brain become insulin resistant, the brain can't feed the cells the percentage of fuels it's used to running on (mainly glucose at 95 to 97% in a high carb diet). Remember, the brain (and heart) prefers to run on 72% Ketones.
If Ketones are not present as an alternative fuel, the brain or parts of the brain experiencing insulin resistance starves of glucose. Without Ketones to switch to, the brain or parts of the brain become atrophied or experience cellular death in the same way as dementia and Alzheimer's. The disease depends on the area of deprivation. A couple things that really struck me with Dominic's exploration of Ketosis was the ability to hold one's breath for twice as long (mitochondria strips glucose from fatty acids far more efficiently).
Another test with humans under 5x atmospheric pressures allowed humans to live 15 to 20 minutes as opposed to passing out the usual 5 minutes for someone not in Ketosis. These are not practical conditions to live in, but suggest that oxygen deprivation is far less likely to happen while in Ketosis due to major changes to the Mitochondria being repurposed to run on Ketones as opposed to glucose. This isn't entirely related to the brain. The heart contrary to popular opinion, also likes to run on majority ketones. When the heart is fueled by the fuel it prefers to run on (ketones), the volume of blood is increased feeding more nutrients (and oxygen) to the brain. ;)
Now... lets grow this tree to it's full ugly hideous splendor!
@Ludakris When we are fasting, our kidneys improve on the elimination of salts. Part of it is related to burning glycogen early on as Glycogen is saturated in Potassium as a fight or flight ready to go fuel to burn. Potassium as we should know, is the antagonist to sodium. Normally during a fast as a consequence of running low on sodium (iodine can also play a role here), one will experience cold hands and cold feet.
You are however, experiencing cramps which is unusual because it suggests that one is low on potassium (I'm a big promoter of juice fasting to rebalance PH myself). Since Potassium is the antagonist to sodium, if we have too much sodium in our system, potassium will flush it out (and vice versa) but this can lead to a potassium deficiency (and therefore cramps). Have you been taking salts for a fast, perhaps too many? Because we should, but there are limits as to what to take.
Otherwise, I would suggest one check out some you tube videos. Do a search on foot cramps and see what Dr. Berg has to say on "feet cramping". "Feet & Keto Leg Cramps at Night on Ketogenic Diet?: Dr.Berg" Cramps are often (but not always) caused by a deficiency and Dr. Berg is in the high 90's specific to deficiencies. Sometimes people on Keto concentrate too much on the macro and forget to eat enough greens. Always try to put greens on the plate. ;)
Dr. Bikman is amazing. He gives me hope for people's health. And it passes me off about the messages we have been sold.
We were always meant as human beings to get our protein from eating animals for ever not for plants, and that hasn’t changed just because some people have social issues with eating animal foods
We weren’t using those spears to chop and toss salads😂
Complete nonsense! If you knew even basic school level biology and evolution you would know that human beings evolved… to eat whatever food was around. Between the tropics fruit grows 12 months a year so they were consumed in large quantities. There is scientific evidence of aboriginal peoples using tools to grub up root vegetables and eat them. Frozen ice age man has been found with grains in their stomach.
Animal protein is fine ....it's just needs to be cooked the right way and eaten in moderation ...humans were never meant to consume meat frequently in large quantities .....but now most are eating meat products 3 or more times a day !!!!!
I could watch Bickman all day 😊
Same! 😂
I always click to hear Mr Bikman again! 😊
I have read Ben Bikman’s book Why we get sick, it’s a must read so much scientific information on metabolic health A must read for sure 👍
That was interesting about the 1 year fast. To recap what I think I heard, it tells me that insulin stores what our bodies need and keeps doing it as we eat more and more carbs, until we become fat. This man's body was able to survive because of the stored nutrients, namely fat. When I started the carnivore diet I barely ate, but I had excess fat, about 20lbs. It was about 3 months later, after eating very little meat/fat, I started to eat more. The body had used up the stored fat, so I was hungrier, if I have it right. thank you for interviewing Dr. Bikman.
Thanyou very much for sharing with us
I went all in and cut insulin spiking foods, ie all processed foods and grains, and fasted from 7pm to 11 a.m. Wow , I dropped 12 lbs in 3 weeks. I walked and did some resistance bands to tone up. M😊uscle helps to burn fat as well.
Imagine if all general practitioners and other specialist were taught this matter. The world would be a much healthier place.
Of course! If the dog hadn’t stopped at the hydrant, he/she would’ve caught the rabbit! If …
bless you Professor Bikman and your family !
Actual steps how to lower down or eliminate insulin resistance … please tell us how to proceed ahead , that is the most important news to hear for any person, 🛎🛎🛎
the research studies, we are happy to hear about their results, BUT not important for a regular person, just use the results to give us advice how to lower or eliminate insulin resistance
Thank you 😊 🇨🇦
This is brilliant stuff and I have learned so much. I only wish our gp’s would give this advice rather than issue the meds.
Thank you for this interview. Ben Bikman is one of my favorites. Such an understated, kind, amazingly intelligent man sharing so willingly this very important information about his work. He's one of the heros among the other giants in this low-carb field~ His information is saving countless lives of the open-minded...me included!
I needed this. My Dr wahts me on Ozempic but I can not afford (and want to heal my disease). She put me on Januvia instead. I researched that Januvua works by causing the pancreas to release more insulin. When I went back a month later my Dr complained bc I had gained 3 lbs. I only eat once a day and fast a day or two a week. I am so ready to be done with medications.
Get off that drug - give up carbs and sugar, focus on protein fibre and good fats - walk and strength train 2 x week
I tried semaglutide (=Ozempic). You lose muscle; when you stop, you gain it all back. I had rashes I couldn’t fix and 3-1/2 months of increasing misery. Don’t do it! Go keto or carnivore. You will be in control of the process and feel much better!
The most informative interview with Ben I have heard so far.👏
This video has some amazing information in it. Some videos have a nugget or two- this video kept them coming. I appreciate it so much when doctors explain the physiology, and not just say do this and don't do that.
I appreciate the responses… tried to edit my initial comment when I listened to the rest of the lecture, but couldn’t. I do eat poultry and fish, but agree that protein as a whole needs to be increased. Working on that.
Thanks again!
don't forget increasing animal fat! butter, ghee, bacon fat, beef tallow . absolutely NO seed oils
Another oustanding interview with medical scientist I have only just come across and already greatly admire. Thank you very much to Dr Bikman and to everyone else involved.
Haven't we all been told "eat less, exercise more". That didn't work. Of course we are being told that by a fat, unhealthy doctor. 1st get a full panel blood test. See what your body needs. Eat carnavor, no sugar. Feel better than ever ❤ I really enjoyed the conversation. Excellent information.
The reason it didn’t work is quite simply because people didn’t follow the advice ! If they had then there would be no obesity and health crisis. Being overweight and not exercising is a huge contributor to the world health crisis. The current obsession with Keto is going to reap untold long term damage - look at Paul Saladino’s experience. Intake of dietary fibre has the highest correlation with a reduction in all cause mortality. Insulin production is a fantastic evolutionary trait and just to put the record straight Whey Protein powder spikes insulin ok.
@@marcdaniels9079 I have been in good shape all of my life but when I hit menopause that's when diet and exercise didn't work for me. I discovered I was missing some key hormones. A great doctor and a blood test helped me. I still workout most days but I don't kill my self in the gym anymore. I feel great on a carnivore diet. My Blood work is A+. I don't eat sugar but on special occasions.
Amazing interview! Amazing channel. Share your frustrations as a newly awoken nurse who has only been looking into actual health since leaving organised healthcare. I believed and trusted everything I was taught. Heartbroken and hopeful all at the same time. Thanks for what you are doing ❤
I admire doctors and nurses very much but for nutritional advice I’m better off listening to my window cleaner. 🙄 Love Ben Bikman ❤️
Absolutely right.
Thank you for this fantastic interview.
Very informative! I started Keto and IF and I am so pleased that I am on the right track.
That's great news, and now that it's been a couple months I strongly urge you to gradually ramp up your strength training! Don't go crazy, just start with maybe some squats at the sink and some knee pushups, curl some half gallons of water too, etc. Over the coming months, do more reps+ more resistance
Dr Ben Bikman is the best HEALTH INFLUENCER ❤ THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL IMPORTANT FACTS ABOUT INSULIN RESISTANCE ❤
He is not influencer, he is professional and educated.
FOR ME HE IT'S THE BEST HEALTH INFLUENCER. I KNOW HE IS PROFESSIONAL AND EDUCATED AND I KNOW WHAT I WRITE.
This is really appropriate for those who have zero starting knowledge about all this. Not worth the time for someone with low to moderate knowledge.
@53:17 - - life long patient .... If you read the "nutritional" panel, in the USA, on the foods that you buy, you will see that the amount of Carbs that are recommended on a daily basis is 250 grams per day!!!! And this is the information that is being taught to drs and nutritionists so that they can "educate" us patients...
As with every podcast I've seen with Dr. Bikman, this was fantastic. I did have one question, though. I have a good friend who has prostate cancer. His doctors tell him that prostate cancer is androgen driven and not sugar driven and this is why prostate cancer patients go on hormone blockers to stop the production of androgen. So, how does this square with the end of this podcast where you say that all cancers feed off of glucose? I'm confused.
probably as the hormons are inter-related, indirectly
Great guest and great interview!... good job!

I have a difficult decition to make comment most favorably the life saving talk of Dr. Bickman or his valour in exposing the naked truth about the origen of so many serious and "incurable diseases, for which their pharmaceutical control, represent a high percentage of BIG pharma revenues. The comments sent previously testfy to both excellences, worthy of our most heartfelt thanks.
Amazing podcast/lecture. 👍👍
Awesome both of you! Thank you! I understand this so so much better now and it will help me a lot!
Please let Dr speaker explain and keep talking on the topic esp that his time is limited.. rather than interupting him .. on the long run he answers possible questions. I would appreciate it.. that way I can clearly follow his points. Thank you
I agree. Dr Bikman would be explaining something with several points, only to be interrupted. Dr. Bikman picked up the thread easily, but I could not. If the interviewer has questions or comments, went for a break in the topic.
Even with this, this was an excellent video with a ton of helpful and usable information. I plan to watch it again and take copious notes. I will put this information to work for myself, and hopefully can help my best friend who is diabetic and was just put on a stronger med.
I was probably insulin resistant because I do have skin-tags on my neck. However, since I started Keto, my skin-tags have reduced in size. They have become much smaller but not gone away. Does that mean I am surely but slowly getting more insulin sensitive?
See Dr Ken Berry's vids on Proper Human Diet. triglycerides/hdl is indicator of insulin sensitivity
Yes, if you continue eating low carb, they will completely go away. Look up Dr Eric Burg on RUclips. He talks about this in several videos.
Apparently they shrink and should be easy to self remove when they're small
I am impressed with Dr. Bikman's talk, and I am frustrated by the host here that interrupts him with dumb comments just when the doctor is touching the most interesting topics, throwing off the conversation. I am not interested in Steve Bennett's father's health and other details of his life, I want to hear... DR. BIKMAN! So please Steve, can you keep your mouth shut and let him talk? I am leaving this video to look for another interview of him with less disruptive host, or directly buy his book "Why we get sick".
Oh, real nice….do you hear yourself?
@@M.Sforza Unfair on Steve. He let Ben run for long lengths. There is nothing wrong with a few personal anecdotes to illustrate points. You missed something mighty.
Fabulous! So many thanks!!! A little question is about the fact that often people don’t eat because they feel hunger but just because they have the habit and lack of discipline. How would you reinforce the psicological side of this issue?. Thanks!
I have that problem. Very unhealthy relationship with food. I can snack and eat when I’m not hungry. Finally I started doing alternate day fasting. I eat one day and not the next. So for example I eat on Monday and stop eating at 7 pm. I don’t eat again until Wednesday morning. I go 36-40 hours without food, depending when I start eating on Wed morning. Then I eat normally. 2 or 3 meals but I must be done by 7. No snacking in between. Period. I am strict with myself. This has allowed me to really learn hunger from appetite.
Since I am someone who can snack, snack, snack, even if I’m full, I discovered my personality is all or nothing. If I start eating I can be undisciplined and not stop, but if I’m fasting I can be super committed and not cheat. My problem is the in between state where I watch what I eat and restrict my calories. That’s when I lose control. Eating normally 4 days a week and fasting 3 days has broken my weird food addictions that I had. It also reversed my insulin resistance. On the days that I eat, i detect when I am full and I stop. I am not depriving my body, so my metabolism stays high. I have energy. I exercise. On my fast days, I am calm and peaceful. I drink water and a morning coffee with MCT oil. I only go on a long walk, 3-4 miles and go to bed early.
When I eat, I only have any combination of the following foods: fish, grass fed beef, poultry, avocados, nuts, olives and olive oil, pumpkin seeds, eggs, yogurt, butter, leafy greens, cruciferous vegetables, blackberries, coffee with MCT, and fresh lemons. I make simple meals and not having many choices is the best thing for me.
I've been a fan of Ben's work and videos for the past year - fantastic that you had him on. And congratulations on a great interview style - you let him have the floor (which certain other health promoters I won't name fail to do when interviewing!).
love this video. But is there A more concise version
Are you familiar with FODMAPS ? If I eat kale, not only do I bloat, I feel discomfort ALL day long and sometimes it is exented 2 days. When I understood that cherries, honey, sweet potatos, pistaches, (in a certain quantity) make me bloat and sick...I can't understant your opening chart...I would love to learn more about these subjects. Thank you.
