There is a small muscle in your calf called the Soleus, it is connected to 'the Achilles tendon. It is activated by walking, running, and jumping. Unlike 90% of the muscle in the body it does not store glucose and must burn it directly from the blood stream. When I got home yesterday my blood glucose was above 100 and after a 17 minute walk around the block in my case about a mile my glucose tested at 83.
I'm implementing these steps and losing weight and waist measurement. And I am a menopausal woman with Hashimoto and obesity (20 kg overweight). I don't need to snack because I'm not hungry in between meals anymore. Sometimes I even allow myself to eat pasta or pizza, but the right way (and not too much). Another tip is to eat veggies before carbs. They slow down the absorption of the carbs and you don't feel like eating a lot.
Thank you for everything💕 I was prediabetic a year ago and I used your videos and brought down my A1C and no longer prediabetic, my doctor was shocked how fast I lowered it. But I took advantage and later indulged again and a year later now my a1c is back at prediabetic at 5.7. Please to others it’s not only to bring it down but keep it down. And now I’m back watching your videos , LOVE THE NEW CONTENT ❤️
I've moved to Uk 10 years ago. That had a massive negative influence on my diet. I've put a lot of weight. , And was dodiagnosing with prediabetes. Now I understand that more because of your channel. Finally I understand my body
This is the first chanel i saw every morning it helps me so much with my insulin. For the people that we have to deal day by day with this medical condition.. thank You so muchhhh ❤
Also green light can effect sleep. Mixing carbs (if you have to have them) with fat and protein is a great idea. Usually a high fat animal based meal will stop the craving for snacking.
Kait,your like an angel,i was going to look on the tube on this subject of (Insulin Resistance)and there you was😄 unbelievable,im already subscribed,il give you a thumbs up👍🏾and thanks for you videos and information ❤🙏🏾💯
@ketokarbs3671 thank you, I checked several resources regarding best time. 4 stated 20 minutes before eating, the other 3 had during meal or after meal. All stated there's no difference in the effectiveness if you take before, during or after. I guess it depends on whom you ask
Can you answer a question for me as i prepare to start a carnevore diet? Is braunschweiger a good source of eating liver, or is there too many other ingredients added and make it not worth eating. I dont like liver but do like braunscheiger. I know that sounds weird but its me.
Hi Kait. I'm already taking metformin 500mg. Can I still combine berberine with that or just take chromium by itself? Also how many mg of either berberine or chromium to take? Thank you
What about water aerobics every morning? I have IR and I just started water aerobics classes that I really love. I don’t think I would call them low intensity because it’s hard and my heart really goes, but I want to make sure I’m not sabotaging my efforts to deal with IR.😮
Regular sleep is the hardest. Apart from a few months in summer when the days are longer, it's go to work before sunrise and come home after sunset. So not much morning sun exposure. Sleep broken up into typically 2 hour increments. The rest I can handle but apart from quitting my job and moving to the country I don't see much chance of changing this.
How do you feel about eating whole fruits with my meat protein and good fats. Im eating more fruits than vegetables these days but still incorporate a little broccoli and cauliflower occasionally. Wanted to know your thoughts on whole fruits?
Hi coach. I have pcos with insuline resistance but my weight is optimal. Every diet and videos is about loosing weight with pcos, what to do when my weight is optimal ?
I did ketogenic diet for years definitely helped reverse my insulin resistance, but my fasting blood sugar has started going high every morning 105-110 is it possible doing low carb for to long can also cause insulin resistance?
Protein shakes? Can be ok if they don’t have a heap of ingredients and added sugar. Best to get protein from whole food where possible but definitely can be helpful if you’re falling short!
@@HealthCoachKait Thank you.That is what I meant.I have to speak through Google and sometimes it messes up what I say because I am vision impair.Thank you
That’s ok! I’m Australia there are crackers that are called “shapes” so I didn’t know if you were referring to some protein version of them 😂 Have a great weekend ❤️
Thank you for all your info. The hardest for me is getting in the protein amounts with real food especially at breakfast when I don’t have an appetite. Any suggestions?
the not snacking part is the most difficult part! Even though I already have diabetes type 2, I still cannot stop snacking! I am also an emotional eater and I have already been trying to eat more protein
@marijkegosselin. So was my wife but she finally decided to mature up and stop being emotional. Stop being a slave to food and emotions. When emotional stop reaching for food and replace with something healthy like a walk . Grow up and figure it out. Do you have family that love you? Then for their sake take care of yourself.
Well since this video was a month ago I don’t expect any help. I’ve started and still am doing carnivore 2 months ago and just yesterday finished a 90 hour bone broth fast. Yesterday before I ended my fast I tested BS it was 256. STILL… nothing seems to work with me. Today I’m starting to implement your suggestions to lower insulin and blood sugar…. Well see😢
I also subscribe to the wonderful Dr. Mark Hyman’s podcasts~~ love him, geeez wish he were my doctor. He has mentioned a couple times about taking a “ PGX” supplement if you know or planned to have carbs~~ his favorite often is Ben & Jerry’s Chunky Monkey ice cream… he takes a PGX… the other doctors he’s interviewing always agree that they simply do to!! Do you know what the letters PGX stands for and what it is that it can help immensely with blocking insulin?
Ive been on carnivore (with nuts cream) for 5 years and i still have high insulin ? any ideas? I am on berberine, chromium and bitter melon. And have lost no weight. I sleep well. I have chronic fatigue.
I have reversed my insulin resistance but the sugars are around 100 with medications. Does it take a long time for the sugars to get to below 100 ? or I would never see a 2 digit sugars.
The hardest part for me is the exercise because I try to stay in the fat burning zone when I go to the gym, but if I overdo it, I get hypoglycaemia the next day. I take electrolytes and a protein bar before exercise. Without carbs in my system, exercise is more difficult. It’s hard to find the right balance. I also go for walks but I’m trying to improve my cardio fitness, so I need something a bit higher intensity.
We have bad weather in Iceland and in the winter time, we have dark months and sometimes not sun for weeks... So that advise about sun exposure, is not working for me.
Try using a full spectrum light in the mornings. It is not as good as the sun, but i get great results with 20 to 30 min, in the winter mornings here in Canada, when there is a lot less light and we are not going outside because of the cold. The actual lights are expensive, but you can buy a bulb that will fit in any regular light socket and it will work just as well.
@@David-b3o3i well I just travel south to Canary Islands to enjoy Palm trees and beaches in January. I am really tired of darkness over the wintertime. Even though my Viking forfathers have lived in Iceland in 1100 years and I have the country in my DNA
I have a ?.. I just found out im pre-diabetic/hypoglossemic. I want to start eating better and do whole grain carbs, when I do eat them. My ? Is, with me trying to eat better, what do I do (eat) if my sugar drops? Its been 54 a couple times. I appreciate any help that I can get. Thank you!
I would eat something that will increase your blood sugar slowly such as a couple tablespoons of peanut butter on low carb bread or a small bowl of berries with cream. I wouldn't drink juice or eat fruit alone as it is manifest too fast then you are chasing high blood sugars. Eat a low carb item with protein and fat. And always recheck your blood sugar in about 30 minutes to see the effect. Keep a list of foods you try and what your blood sugar response is.
Thank for the information. I get confuse about the term diabetes. So if you were pre-diabetic and 3 month after you go up to 6.5 and you start eating better and your numbers come down to lets say 5.7 you will still be referred as biabetic??????MINDY
Fasting blood sugar below 5.6 is considered normal and non-diabetic. 5.7 would just be above the cut off of being prediabetic. Once it gets lower though you won’t be referred to as diabetic, no, but you can still have insulin resistance (high insulin) that needs to be improved. Hope that makes sense!
@@HealthCoachKait Yes, it makes sense. I hear people saying that with diet they went down to 5.6 or 5.7 but they still say they are diabetic...I appreciate you reaching out.....i get it now.....hugs
I keep my carbs under 10 and still can’t lose any fat … I hear some say fat goes into fat cells and causes insulin resistance as well do u think this is true ??? I also don’t have the inc energy others proclaim on keto
@@Hippy2021 there are probably internal changes occurring Somebody taught, it takes 2 to 3 years to get seed oils out of your body. I'm 72, started learning about carnivore, T2 diabetes, etc, about 8 months ago. Give yourself time to learn, enjoy gradual changes as you experiment on yourself. It is not an easy task ❤
Why is that hard? Could have plain hamburger patties or bacon (not pork it's against the bible) .I cook extra beef patties and store in fridge to be ready to eat
I've had insomnia for over 25 years, I have very low cortisol, and my blood tests are all 'normal' it seems. I don't overeat, I eat quite healthily, and I don't drink or smoke yet I am overweight. I eat between 12 and 6 pm. I am menopausal and most of my weight is on my stomach. My doctor won't help me, I am at the end of my tether as I have fibromyalgia and chronic nack pain. My life feels pointless.
Absolutely! You can get your cells more sensitive to insulin and effectively reverse it. Of course if you go back to the diet and lifestyle that got you resistant in the first place it will redevelop. But once it’s reversed you can tolerate carbs better.
I suffer from insomnia and morning sunlight doesn't work for me. NOTHING WORKS FOR ME. I also wake up multiple times a night. If that's not enough, I can't "sleep" longer than 6 hours. For instance last night I went to bed at 930 but didn't get to sleep until about 11. After waking up 3 or 4 times, I woke up at 345 am and couldn't get back to sleep. That's every night for me. I've tried everything I can think of but nothing works.
Do you drink? Alcohol can help you fall asleep but once the adenosine wears off you wake up (usually 3-4 hours). Do you eat within 3 hours of your bedtime? Are you on any medication? Certain meds can hinder sleep significantly. Obviously stimulants including ADHD medications but others as well. Have you ever taken melatonin in the past? Supplementing melatonin reduced your bodies production so once you stop sleep can be really hard. Do you breathe through your mouth when you sleep? There are so many factors that could be hindering your sleep… Have you had a sleep study done?
I mentioned fruit and veg in the video. Fiber is only important in the sense that it can slow down blood sugar and insulin spikes. There is no conclusive evidence it has an impact on gut health, and I find most of my clients do better on a slightly lower fiber diet when it comes to digestion.
Surprised you didn’t mention eating vegetables before carbs to lower insulin spikes. It’s because veg coats the intestines and slows down the absorption of sugar and therefore dulls the spike. Didn’t know about exercise though.
The obsession with insulin resistance. It’s as though it’s all you think about. Most do not have this thing. Sugar in moderation is not a bad thing. Carbs are not the enemy. Everything in balance.
You clearly haven’t watched any of my videos if you believe I think carbs are the enemy ❤️ Also watch my first podcast episode because I talk about how and why I started focusing so much on insulin resistance. I also talk about how I use carbs personally, as a professional athlete who doesn’t have insulin resistance.
Have you ever gotten a 'fasting insulin test'? After 1 1/2 years on metformin, my fasting insulin is 56 The healthy range is 2.0-26 which is not considered healthy by youtube-teachers. Please be well
What are your credentials? It’s careless of you to understate the seriousness of insulin resistance and try to diminish it to merely a diet and lifestyle issue. I find it hard to believe you’ve had any medical training on this topic.
Certified nutritionist who specialises in insulin resistance. I have a BSc majoring in nutrition and exercise and several other health, nutrition and exercise certifications. I work alongside doctors who also use this approach ❤️

How long after a meal does your insulin start to spike?
Should I start walking right after a meal or wait 30-60 minutes after eating? Thanks!
Sooner the better! You don’t have to jump up right away but don’t wait.
@bigloaded each meal is different. Check blood sugar after each meal at 30 min., 60min., and 90 minutes

Have you ever gotten a 'fasting insulin test'? After 1 1/2 years on metformin, my fasting insulin is 56

What are your credentials? It’s careless of you to understate the seriousness of insulin resistance and try to diminish it to merely a diet and lifestyle issue. I find it hard to believe you’ve had any medical training on this topic.
Certified nutritionist who specialises in insulin resistance. I have a BSc majoring in nutrition and exercise and several other health, nutrition and exercise certifications. I work alongside doctors who also use this approach ❤️
