WOW SO literary the last 3 minutes he explained WHY a diff doctor... Dr Shawn Omara is ALWAYS talking about how fermented veggies and or fruits are so GOOD for you .. short chained fatty acids including vinegar. Who knew. NOT i, that vinegar is a fat. I've learned so MUCH from you Bikman it's ridiculous. Oh I'm no clinician... but i work for them ..
Please could someone let me know if a total cholesterol result of 363 is a problem to my health? I am in the uk so I multiplied my uk score of 9.4mmol/L by 38.66 All my other blood results look good
A better measure is to divide your Triglycerides by your HDL. I'm in the US so we have a different number system. For the US, if the Trig/HDL is 2 or less (the closer to 1 the better) then you shouldn't have anything to worry about. There are a bunch of calculators online to convert your numbers to the US system. A great book to read is "The great cholesterol myth" written by a cardiologist.
@@countryliving9718 thank you, I have done that calculation and the result is 0.3 I guess that is OK My doctor wants to see me, and as my LDL is over twice the uk top range, I expect that is what is worrying to her. I am wondering what she will think when I don’t want to take a Statin
What Ben purposely fails to mention is that the countries that eat the most carbs have the least amount of obesity. Carbs do not cause insulin resistance, they actually improve insulin sensitivity. What causes insulin resistance is an increase in body fat percentage, which is caused by eating more than you can burn.

Recap by Tammy AI
Dr. Bikman is an absolute Godsend! He has helped me to understand the biochemistry of metabolic dysfunction and how to steer my body into healthy territory. Fantastic lecture, I will be forwarding this to many people.
He is sent by Joseph Smith and Brigham Young. He’s a faithful Mormon, but he is a good husband with only one wife unlike the two that sent him who had dozen of wives.
@@amysim8899I was about to say a similar thing. Fascinating. If science is broken we won't get relocation attempts from other non associated labs. Hopefully we will demonstrate science to not be broken.
Develop muscle mass and strength and you'll see an increase in insulin sensitivity...eat more protein and avoid ultra processed food and you'll see a huge difference
Always a fantastic presenter. Having someone else controlling the slides was slightly distracting but Dr Bikman knew them cold, so just power through that challenge as it is worth it. I wish every professor was as knowledgeable and concise. Dr. Bikman is my go to for ketogenesis, blood sugar and insulin. Now we just need to educate the medical profession. My internist does not appear to know any of this. It is unconscionable.
@13:15 time mark is said "you cannot lose fat if insulin is LOW"... I guess that was a mistake in a speech and the correct would be "you cannot lose fat if insulin is HIGH"? Please, respond to make this clear. Thank you
Well spotted, I also wanted to comment on that. It was a slip/mistake. You cannot lose fat if insulin is HIGH as insulin is an anabolic hormone and aims at targeting/opening the insulin/glucose receptors and channels on cell surface to cause the adipocytes/muscles/liver to either use or STORE carbohydrate/sugar as fat. The bit he says after that also confirms the slip namely "It is impossible to make a fat cell grow without elevated insulin". Hope that helps.
2:17. What I find interesting right off the bat is this slide shows all of the markers for metabolic syndrome and LDL is not listed - this tells me right away that this fellow probably gets it.
GPs only request a standard lipid profile and then prescribe a statin. I'm 60 and never had a doctor ask what I eat or if I exercise. Must get the profit motive out of medicine!
I’m T1D and my sole objective with this condition is to minimise my insulin while maintaining a ‘normal’ HbA1C…. I never eat carbs…. Eat modest amounts of dairy and eat loads of beef….
I'm 40 and went high beef too. With fasting and low carb my strength suffered and noticeably went down. I did not pay attention to micros nor eat a hugely varied diet. No organ meat and little veg. I think the MTOR path needs to be activated. I think the carnivore folks can eat enough protein in a sitting then exercise hard enough to activate it. To stimulate muscle growth. I eat carb to some extent with protein so i don't need as much protein to elevate insulin some and activate MTOR. Low insulin and never raising it can eat away at muscle. or rater hinder muscle growth. Something to consider and my personal issue.
At the end wow, I didn't know that acetic acid is a (very) short chain fatty acid. That explains people advocating for cider vinegar, which up to now I've dismissed as having zero use. Of course, that doesn't quite explain why acetic acid from apples would be better than acetic acid from other sources... a question of taste?
Berberine his touted as a blood sugar reducer… But it actually doesn’t help the insulin come down. I learned this from a doctor, but I can’t remember who 😂
Dr lustig mentioned the glucose being normal but insulin being sky high. Or could be. I was pre-diabetic by my own analysis. One year apart from major diet changes. Fasting glucose was IDENTICAL. LCHF OMAD. Thank you all and digging into the science and what matters. I'll check again soon. I bet it's finally improved too. Maybe not. But will order the fasting insulin this next time too.
@@sorrykay3450. it’s not too expensive. in canada it’s $22 and comes with fasting glucose so that Homa IR can be calculated. i ask my dr to order it during my yearly blood labs and then i get it through a naturopath at least twice a year. i think it’s well worth the money.

What a fantastic presentation! This is so incredibly useful and informative and easy to understand. This research is helping to transform lives - not least mine as I'm studying nutrition and hope to help many others improve their health through diet and lifestyle changes. Thank you Dr. Ben Bikman for your stellar work in this area and thank you PHCUK for organising and making this information accessible to everyone.
Unfortunately Why We Get Sick argues that insulin resistance is the root cause of most chronic diseases. To solve this problem, the book recommends lifestyle changes that are supposed to keep insulin levels low, including fasting, exercising, and restricting carbohydrates and omega-6 fats. Key points from our review The book’s argument that carbohydrates and insulin are the main causes of insulin resistance is not well supported by evidence. 9 of the 10 references we reviewed were either irrelevant, not convincing, or weakly supported the claim. The book’s diet and exercise recommendations will likely help people manage insulin resistance, but we have concerns about heart health since there are almost no restrictions on eating fatty animal foods. Many people will find it hard to stick to the rigid low carbohydrate intake. Bottom line Why We Get Sick delivers some helpful advice for managing insulin resistance but it’s not well supported by evidence overall.www.redpenreviews.org/reviews/why-we-get-sick/
@@trotskyite1 Your comment might be useful if unprocessed animal foods that contain natural saturated fats were actually associated with a risk of myocardial infarction or cardiovascular disease mortality, but the fact is that they are not. There is no link. In fact, these foods are significantly associated with lower total mortality as well as lower risk of stroke. So really there is no need to be concerned about heart health. Dr. Ben Bikman's recommendations remain entirely convincing and promote nothing but good and improved health. Useful study here: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9794145/ As we all know carbohydrates are not essential in the human diet - there is zero requirement to eat them in order to be healthy. In actual fact, the less of them we eat (particularly ultra processed carbs/foods), the less our brain and body desires them. So sticking to a low carbohydrate diet and focusing on one that is rich in quality proteins and healthy fats will leave people feeling fuller and more satiated for longer (no more hunger and cravings) so that they will no longer want to eat ultra processed carbs and snacks throughout the day. It really is quite simple and easy to do once you give your body the proper nutrition it needs to thrive.
For measuring insulin resistance on your own: 1. hire a CGM meter and check if your insulin drops half an hour after eating a lot of carbs. 2. Test yourself! Dump nearly the carbs for one month and see what happens, did you loose weight, belly fat, improve body composition, feel better after a meal etc?
You don't understand. 1. Insulin is the fat storage hormone. Without insulin you cannot gain weight, you loose weight. With a CGM meter you kan measure your insulin reaction to different foods (insulin spikes) and if your insulin stays high for a long time after eating carbs and sugary food or if the spike drops quickly and everything returns quickly to normal 2. test yourself,: avoid all food that spike insulin (carbs and sugars), therefore your insulin production should be minimal and you will loose the weight because the hormone glucagon will kick in and release the fat from the fatcells@@HAL-1984
Thankyou D Bikman. I note so few in the auditorium. Seems just like parliament. When any thing worth anything i.e truth is said the seats seem to be empty
Great presentation. Concise and very informative. Answered most of my questions about insulin resistance. I have a question though-can one have primary pre hypertension and also be insulin sensitive? I am insulin sensitive judging by my HOMA-IR of 1.5 but I have pre hypertension.
These therapies leading to worse insulin resistance is just running out the clock. These patients don’t understand their health is not being improved, their condition is just being exacerbated until complications kill them.
NEXT! What a pathetic event organisation! Couldn't even organise a wireless mouse for the speakers.... It was painful watching a professor having to interrupt their presentation every few seconds to "skip" a slide. I'd rather watch something else.
DON'T YOU KNOW -- As you are So Educated, AND, THIS Presentation IS SO GREAT, EXCEEDINGLY INFORMATIVE -- that your "next Next NEXT NEXT NEXT Next Next Next next ....." are UNCOMMONLY DISTRACTING !!!!!???
I have PCOS and IR. Thank you for this great information. I don’t say that I have “Metabolic Syndrome”. I say that I have an endocrine disorder that could become Diabetes if I don’t keep it under control. I inherited PCOS from my maternal line. It’s not fun. :(
Thank you for the helpful talk 35:00 note 39:50 cancer and 40:39 results. 47:30 fear not fat. what about the people 49:34 that don't have gallbladder ?
I see you didn't get an answer, so I will share my experience. I have no gallbladder and eat a very low carb diet with plenty of fat and protein. I don't have a problem. However, I do on occasion get a big dump of bike that results in an urgent run to the restroom! That isn't often and was not anything new as I sometimes had the same issue on the standard American diet. I will say I have absolutely no regrets on living this way! I've never felt better and my blood sugar is very much improved and I trust that my type 2 diabetes will soon be reversed. If you try it and have trouble with fat you can take digestive enzymes and or bile salts to help until your body adjusts. Hope this helps!
Hi this is Dr Hari from India, had noticed a strange phenomenon. During fasting state the glucose levels are around 70 mg/dl and soon after taking low carb diet the glucose levels are raising to 130 mg/dl and remaining high for the rest of the day. Any comments on this . How can I personally contact you.
I think he would say test insulin. That fasting glucose lags behind what the fasting insulin will tell you and that once fasting glucose is up, you are already dealing with insulin resistance.
Ben, having followed you very many ears, you are among the brightest minds to solve this puzzle of un-illness. Therefore I urge you to make the connection between water EMF radiation, melanin, POMC and the leptin melano cortin pathway. I am a solid state semiconductor research scientist. Is Jack Kruse after something entirely significant. To me it seems that is the case. Still working to get the insulin connection and it might just be leptin.
Loved this clear explanation of insulin desensitization over time in the human body. One question: Is it possible that Metformin is causing mitochondrial uncoupling? If this were the case, then it might be a disservice to characterize Metformin's effect on the electron transport chain as poisoning. Perhaps it is an example of hormesis?
So what does one do with drug induced type2? My wife has to take Prednisone for inflammation for a significant lung condition. At 5'5", she weighs 100#, and we eat exceptionally nutritiously in the manner described here. Yet blood sugar is very much an issue because of the steroid. Thoughts?
Amazing conference ❤ What is the dietary solution for people who got their gallbladder removed? I know a few who ended up having huge problems with fat digestion. Are they doomed to no longer be able to be on a high fat low carb diet? As surgeons tell these people just to reduce the fat intake. But isn’t this pushing them to eat lots of carbs?
My sister has had her gall bladder removed. She is a Carnivore, as am I. The answer, is most likely to eat smaller meals as a few times within your eating window. It gives your body time to deal with each intake of fat without overstressing your body.
Ben is great. Insulin resistance is just a diagnostic concept, not a disease. It is actually a healthy response to excess glucose. When it is chronic it becomes a serious problem and leads to diabetes2.
39:50 cancer 40:40 diseases 41:25 food 44:42 glucose is diabetic struggle to manage; 44:57 3 pillars: control carb, eat animal protein, eat natural fat come with protein. 47:33 fasting, conclusion
Wondering what your thoughts are about Bart Kay send that insulin resistance is a construct. (An idea or theory containing various conceptual elements, typically one considered to be subjective and not based on empirical evidence.)
Yes, insulin resistance is a construct -- just like intelligence. In no way, does it mean that insulin resistance doesn't really exist -- but only that it may not be directly observable and easily measurable (e.g., readily observable phenomena are the height of a person, or the weight of a bar of iron). So, when scientists propose a construct, they have gone one step further from just defining a concept (such as insulin resistance or intelligence) and have proposed ways of how to measure it. This, then, provides the basis for including it in conceptual/theoretical models that can then be empirically tested. In other words, creating constructs is a necessary step in the scientific process. So, in fact it is just the opposite of what you (or maybe Bart Kay) suggest, turning something into a construct, provides the basis for including a concept in scientific studies.
How frustrating!!!!!!! Such a good man and this voice should be heard by everyone! So unfortunate that the sound is rubbish!!!! Who is collaborating and involved in sound! It is so important in this kind of collab!! Come on and give the good man a clicker!!! Ben changes lives! Thanks for your time Prof Bickman!!

Unfortunately
Why We Get Sick argues that insulin resistance is the root cause of most chronic diseases. To solve this problem, the book recommends lifestyle changes that are supposed to keep insulin levels low, including fasting, exercising, and restricting carbohydrates and omega-6 fats.
Key points from our review
The book’s argument that carbohydrates and insulin are the main causes of insulin resistance is not well supported by evidence.
9 of the 10 references we reviewed were either irrelevant, not convincing, or weakly supported the claim.
The book’s diet and exercise recommendations will likely help people manage insulin resistance, but we have concerns about heart health since there are almost no restrictions on eating fatty animal foods.
Many people will find it hard to stick to the rigid low carbohydrate intake.
Bottom line
Why We Get Sick delivers some helpful advice for managing insulin resistance but it’s not well supported by evidence overall.www.redpenreviews.org/reviews/why-we-get-sick/

I listened to him say “click” and “next” until his simp like jokes
Funny how all the decent, normal, credible, diet youtubers are on the low carb end of the spectrum
So very well presented.
Can one eat veggies tho as l hear all carbs spike sugar .. what foods are best?
Absolutamente fascinante. Gratidão imensa pelo seu saber e por me ter ensinado imenso.
Great presentation but one suggestion. Using voice to switch slides is just a really distracting way to do it. Just use a button.
I have PCOS and IR. Thank you for this great information. I don’t say that I have “Metabolic Syndrome”. I say that I have an endocrine disorder that could become Diabetes if I don’t keep it under control. I inherited PCOS from my maternal line. It’s not fun. :(
Thank you for the helpful talk 35:00 note 39:50 cancer and 40:39 results. 47:30 fear not fat. what about the people 49:34 that don't have gallbladder ?
I see you didn't get an answer, so I will share my experience. I have no gallbladder and eat a very low carb diet with plenty of fat and protein. I don't have a problem. However, I do on occasion get a big dump of bike that results in an urgent run to the restroom! That isn't often and was not anything new as I sometimes had the same issue on the standard American diet. I will say I have absolutely no regrets on living this way! I've never felt better and my blood sugar is very much improved and I trust that my type 2 diabetes will soon be reversed. If you try it and have trouble with fat you can take digestive enzymes and or bile salts to help until your body adjusts. Hope this helps!
Hi this is Dr Hari from India, had noticed a strange phenomenon. During fasting state the glucose levels are around 70 mg/dl and soon after taking low carb diet the glucose levels are raising to 130 mg/dl and remaining high for the rest of the day. Any comments on this .
How can I personally contact you.
I think he would say test insulin. That fasting glucose lags behind what the fasting insulin will tell you and that once fasting glucose is up, you are already dealing with insulin resistance.
Ben, having followed you very many ears, you are among the brightest minds to solve this puzzle of un-illness.
Therefore I urge you to make the connection between water EMF radiation, melanin, POMC and the leptin melano cortin pathway.
I am a solid state semiconductor research scientist.
Is Jack Kruse after something entirely significant. To me it seems that is the case.
Still working to get the insulin connection and it might just be leptin.
Loved this clear explanation of insulin desensitization over time in the human body. One question: Is it possible that Metformin is causing mitochondrial uncoupling? If this were the case, then it might be a disservice to characterize Metformin's effect on the electron transport chain as poisoning. Perhaps it is an example of hormesis?
Doc, you should add hair fall issues in skin problems as well
It was a good and useful lecture.
Top research these guys are doing for the world thanks from new Zealand
So what does one do with drug induced type2? My wife has to take Prednisone for inflammation for a significant lung condition. At 5'5", she weighs 100#, and we eat exceptionally nutritiously in the manner described here. Yet blood sugar is very much an issue because of the steroid. Thoughts?
Very hard on bone health too. Get a DEXA?

What are those Gross noises????😢😢😢😢😢
Amazing conference ❤
What is the dietary solution for people who got their gallbladder removed? I know a few who ended up having huge problems with fat digestion. Are they doomed to no longer be able to be on a high fat low carb diet? As surgeons tell these people just to reduce the fat intake. But isn’t this pushing them to eat lots of carbs?
My sister has had her gall bladder removed. She is a Carnivore, as am I. The answer, is most likely to eat smaller meals as a few times within your eating window. It gives your body time to deal with each intake of fat without overstressing your body.
Your gallbladder doesn’t MAKE bile, it only collects it. You can easily live without it
Awesome lecture!
I wish this was a CEU
What about berberine?
Ben is great. Insulin resistance is just a diagnostic concept, not a disease. It is actually a healthy response to excess glucose. When it is chronic it becomes a serious problem and leads to diabetes2.

I FINALLY understand Metabolic Syndrome(Insulin Resistance) and how it is happening and what to do to help myself. Thank you!
Great presentation but condense the slides and please let the man run his own PowerPoint. That was really distracting.
Thank you for giving me the confirmation bias I crave as much as I do bacon!
What is 36pmol insulin to us measurements
.
My fasting insulin was 2.2 us measurements
Just wondering how the narrative has changed over the very first statements on insulin resistance up to the present. has it flipped 360° already?
39:50 cancer 40:40 diseases 41:25 food 44:42 glucose is diabetic struggle to manage; 44:57 3 pillars: control carb, eat animal protein, eat natural fat come with protein. 47:33 fasting, conclusion
I love both Ben and Sam!!! Amazing synergy of two inspirational people.
Beef /eggs/ fatty fish have the Fats, protein and nutrients referred to here.
I can’t get enough of your lectures. ❤ Thank you for all you do.
Can crepy skin be reversed with Carnivore/Lion diet
😍
Wondering what your thoughts are about Bart Kay send that insulin resistance is a construct. (An idea or theory containing various conceptual elements, typically one considered to be subjective and not based on empirical evidence.)
Yes, insulin resistance is a construct -- just like intelligence. In no way, does it mean that insulin resistance doesn't really exist -- but only that it may not be directly observable and easily measurable (e.g., readily observable phenomena are the height of a person, or the weight of a bar of iron). So, when scientists propose a construct, they have gone one step further from just defining a concept (such as insulin resistance or intelligence) and have proposed ways of how to measure it. This, then, provides the basis for including it in conceptual/theoretical models that can then be empirically tested. In other words, creating constructs is a necessary step in the scientific process.
So, in fact it is just the opposite of what you (or maybe Bart Kay) suggest, turning something into a construct, provides the basis for including a concept in scientific studies.
Well done doctor another gem
