- Are the world's most common illnesses caused by insulin resistance? In this episode, Dr Benjamin Bikman joins us to discuss his best-selling book “Why We Get Sick”. He argues that insulin resistance is at the heart of the world's most prevalent diseases and that poor economic incentives have caused scientists to neglect this phenomenon to pursue unproductive avenues of research. Dr Bikman explains how insulin resistance impacts conditions ranging from diabetes to Alzheimer’s and offers practical advice for listeners looking to improve their health. He also shares his views on broader issues such as the health impact of seed oils and sun exposure.

I can listen to Dr Bickman all day
He is just a good person
Me too
Yeah, but I can't listen to Famous Ammos much. I can't tell if that's a Mexican or Yiddish accent. I would rather listen to an Australian or British. It's like trying to listen to a vatto. The Bitcoin mercantile tells me it's yiddish.
@richardbonfils8461 agree very irritating with irrelevant comments
When everybody was running around and blurting out, “I think everybody deserves healthcare”, I was running around telling THEM, “I think everybody deserves health”. Big difference.
Good one ☝🏽
Dr. Bikman, you are a tremendous blessing. Thank you for all that you do and are fearless in letting us know the truth!
Pretty sure Saifedean is the GOAT, he seems endlessly based on all the subjects, meat/fat/food, UV, scientism, climate change, Covid and obviously economics. He is delightfully acerbic but does it all with a genuine smile on his face and chuckle at all classes of the Noooooooo’ers
A Goat?
Dr. Bikman should be a recurring guest, you guys have a great chemistry
I'm always happy to see fellow clown pilled accounts in the comments!
The energy in this conversation is itself an endorsement of their diet.
Dr Bickman , Thank you for such honesty and responsibility.
God bless you.
Thanks for this interview
Ben Bikman looks like my son. Except my son isn't bald. He still has dark red hair. He's not a scientist like Dr. Bikman. He's a retired military vet now studying film making. He's really good. We named him Siddhartha, but his Navy friends renamed him Buck. Easier to say on a throat mike. He was a flight navigator. Not on the ground. He flew. That song from Le Miserables, "Bring Him Home" was my mind all the time he was deployed. I was in the Army. My six children were Army brats. (That's a term of endearment, not a slight in Army circles.) Five of them are now in the military. I have 26 grandchildren, not all living in the United States. None of them are in the military. Six have graduated. Some are in college. I'm old. This year, God willing, I will become a great-grandma. If I don't die first of hyperinsulinemia. Or anything else. I'm grateful for scientists like Ben Bikman, who share their knowledge.
Ben Bikman is the Mr. Rogers of the scientific community, so for him to say he's ashamed of something says tons!
I admire folks who speak up about truth
I take my hat off to you folks
Regarding sleep, blocking blue light and turning off screens in addition to the recommendations in this pod will cure you. Getting AM sun as well.
This was the MOST amazing video. Thank you both, gentlemen.
The fuel analogy. Mind blowing.
Thank you for the alpha information. Thanks for putting truth on the table. "Stop feeding from anything that comes in a bag and a barcode on it"
And in a bottle.
I love to see Ben's passion on this subject. Man, I wished I could talk to him for 10 minutes, one on one, about my metabolism and lack of much of any ketones 8 months into a carnivore diet!
I went carnivore too about 8 months ago and the first thing that changed was my glucose went up about 30 points. However, it seems to be coming down now (albeit slowly). Overcoming insulin resistance can take some time as your body adapts. Also my level of ketosis went down but now is better again. Regular intermittent fasting (16-18 hrs with occasional 24 hr fasts) I think has helped these numbers improve. And it may be age related as well as overall health as to how long this may take.
@@robinq5511 Fasting and lowering my protein intake did the trick for me.
Try fasting to reset it. Maybe 7 ish days.
I heard a doctor say that you dont pee a lot of ketones after some months, the body loves ketones and uses them all up! In the beginning you loose a lot of ketones in the urine. Later the body adapts, becomes efficient and almost no ketones goes to waste! Therfore they also say its no use to use urine strips for ketones after some months.
@@MarijkeWillemsen990 When I first started a keto diet, I tried the pee strips. They did not work so good. Blood Ketone measurement is the best way. I would not waste any money on the breath meter either.
Bring him back, great guest
Excellent discussion between two intellectuals. “Find your gift and give it away” has been attributed to several famous people. Nevermind who said it, be proud that you’re making a huge difference in other people’s lives.
I love loved this video. 1. Discussed variety of common questions. 2. Uncensored responses 3. Indept explanation. I will watch over and over again with a note pad.
This is a must listen to, do it for your health
I reduced my carbs the same way... 1 slice of toast instead of 2 with breakfast. Remove the club bun from my Big Mac, then the top bun a few months later on and on. Remove a scoop of pasta and put an extra helping of meat sauce or tomato's (this was in the beginning). Before I started reducing carbs I was always struggling with my weight, not fat but I was always chunky, fleshy. Now I am always slender, and sometimes struggle to put weight on, (unless I indulge in carbs). So now I'm trying to increase my animal fats to the point that my body has to store it. It's not easy.
Good for you! I have found to go low carb (keto) to lose body fat combined with intermittent fasting and strength training. I eat some carbs before the gym for quick fuel for lifting. If I lift on keytones I feel weak. I lost 8 pounds body fat last week. Weighing myself again tommorow.
This is brilliant stuff. Thank you.
LOVE this episode! Yes, the traditional docs/ med system are out of control and our paradigm must be shifted from medications to preventative health/nutrition/ human movement/ energy healing. Thank you both!
🙏💕👑
Wonderful interview. Really clearly presented and great practical ideas to use. Thank you.
We have been lied to forever
Love your work saif!!! Keep going 🚀
Such an amazing video! Thank you both so much!
Between the two of you, I’ve increased my knowledge tremendously! Thank-you! 😊
Great medical, scientific and politic interview that I can clearly see and understand. It's all tied together and is changing towards truth; away from deceit, greed and power struggles between people.
Amazing episode!
Everything in moderation. Including moderation
Been eating carnivore for about two years now and never felt better. I have a cow share for local raw milk and drive to a nearby farm for eggs. Eat liver 1+ times a week. Also have one or two meals per day.
Is this a thing I can do in the US? The cow share thing
@@fusion9619 cow shares are an alternative to buying raw milk from a store or directly from a farmer in tyrannical states like my own, where the sale of raw milk is prohibited. Have a look at getrawmilk to find a farmer selling raw milk in your area.
@@ntskl this is amazing. Thanks!
I hate that it is soooo bloody hard to find meat with the fat on it, thy have almost removed it and it has always been my favourite bit since I was a kid.
Ben is the best,but now that he's shared a very small bit about his personal beliefs I like him much more.
Kellogg's is advertising cereal as an affordable dinner for people struggling with the rising cost of food - but some consumers aren't happy with the cereal maker's approach. WK Kellogg CEO Gary Pilnick told CNN last week that the messaging was "landing really well" with customers.
Crazy world 😮
Specialization: Knowing more and more about less and less.
I LOVE seeing this crossover (I am not surprised at all btw)! Make Bikman mainstream!!!
You both are what real research, real answers should be 😊
Thank you Ben, for outing the Canadian medical system. Every doctor I know in my former country sought medical care in the US for themselves and their families. It wasn't the lack of good doctors. It's the lack of resources for those doctors, the inability to get your patients timely critical care and the limits on the care they can provide based on what the beancounters in Ottawa allow. Canadians are just as unhealthy as Americans but spend less on healthcare because the care amount and type is throttled.
As FA, Hayek said, “nothing is so securely lodged as the ignorance of the experts”
GOD BLESS you always Dr.Bikman🙏
Superb thank you
Brilliant!!
I’ve been vindicated! “Children should drink nothing but whole milk and water” My kids hate it but that’s been their life. 😂 except for parties or occasional restaurant outing. Love this this convo!
There are NO essential carbs.
Very top effort u and your mates are doing and explaining how to fix your health with out use of drugs
Thank you for your Book Dr Bikman, very interesting and so informative, I’m in the UK and just diagnosed pre diabetic, it’s been very helpful understanding how I’ve become insulin resistant.
Wait, you are pre diabetic but you just criticised my diet even though it’s literally what he described, (minus the wine) humans truly are the strangest creatures.
Hey hey. My n of 1 about the sun burn issue. Did a low seed oil experiment and do confirm seed oil role in inflammation. Heard it from tucker and tested it to the max. The way this was done was when i was already on keto. Even on LCHF I did get sun burn easiy as ever before and then the next year I did it with no seed oil full monty, even by exluding all non ruminant animal fats from the diet and ate pure ruminant carnivore that year and no no restaurant eating. My food was all self cooked Doing this, I did not get sun burn ever no matter how long I spent under the sun at the most radiant times possible in the early spring season.
The difference is like day and night so must say it absolutely matters how much 4HNE your body stores in your epidermis.
Best yet If you drink a cup of sunflower oil or eat a pound of pork fat, this will reverse everything in a day. It took a whole year to get back on track ie. into no sunburn mode. It is this serious. Ben, I do not belive you too have done this experiment. Sorry no disrespect here.
I have also eliminated the refined seed oils. No sunburn now. I have fair skin too.
You drank a cup of sunflower oil? A pound of bacon? I love bacon 😢
Sunflower oil is a seed oil which you need to avoid, all see oils. Olive oil is ok it’s a fruit but has a low smoke to burn, you need to cook in avocado oil, and just use olive oil as a dressing.
❤ Great Podcast ❤
Body can store hundred thousand s calories as fat not as carbs/glycogen which tell you fat is the cells preferred fuel. Carbs storage is very limited only needed in emergency use (fight or flight)
Hey, Saifedean! I see new releases on TH-cam but not on your podcast. I prefer to listen. Why aren’t the new ones showing on my Overcast app? The last was #123 from July 26th. What’s up?
Dr Bikman I always crave scrambled eggs 🥚!!
ca 1:40 Statins 👍; 2:14 Berberine vs Metmorfin
Solid podcast, thx
Love Dr. Birman knowledge ! I wish to see him on CNN or NBC news !! Everyone will learn so much from him! Thank you Dr. Birman!
CNN haha
Those channels will never show this! They will do only what politicians wants then to do or to show! This is unfortunate!
Imagine your tv has 2 channels. Sorry about your "luck".
then i won’t believe a word he says
That would make him less credible.
Who needs guest , you know it all !!!!
I usually make the test of HOMA-IR (Homeostatic Model Assessment for Insulin Resistance).
Most Docs don’t even know about this and those that do refuse to do it .
The only time I had trouble from the sun was when I tried to use sunscreen, I was about 24 to 25 yrs old, (yes sunscreens were new). So I have just used a white shirt when I need to protect myself. I am a pasty white redheaded blue eyed female of 62 years old. I was also a sign painter, outside.
There’s nothing wrong with sun cream now, years ago they didn’t know as much, but you can find one that suits you and stops you burning, I’m blond very fair skin and burn easily but I just find one hat suits me, much better than sun burn, getting skin cancer. This is nothing like what they are y talking about.
@@sandrawestley4193 I pass on the chemicals now. I find that a little common sense is far superior to any creams, and lotions. Hat's, proper cloths, and paying attention to my body and what it needs have kept me burn free for the last 30+ years. If I do get a little red I use Apple Cider Vinegar (With the mother is not necessary for sun exposure), I put it on right after coming in the house, then I reapply after a shower. The pickle smell goes away in about 15 minutes.
@@sandrawestley4193 How do the chemicals effect other systems in your body though?
I have read your book and now I want to share it as gifts to family and friends🎉
Thank you professor Ben Bikman❤
STUDIES OF THE ESKIMOS HAS BEEN "AMAZINGLY EYE-OPENING"...
Saif, you need to get Derek from More Plates More Dates on your podcast.
Is the book also available in Italian?
I’m a psychologist by trade. I’d like to hear more about this insulin/inflammation vs serotonin and other chemicals as the culprit for mental health and conditions like depression.
Another psychologist here. Look up Dr. Shebani Sethi’s work at Stanford she is a psychiatrist and metabolic health doc doing great research in this area. Also Dr. Christopher Palmer, i believe at Harvard is publishing on this as well.
@@dr.taniabielak396 thanks! I appreciate it.
Check out Dr Georgette Ede.
She’s a carnivore psychologist treating mental disorders
Serotonin has nothing to do with depresion, new study shows. They have been wrong for 30 years...
Explain dr. Brooke Goldner please 😊 Thx
Great! Of course it works 😁. So glad to hear you speak so clear}
What about aluminum in connection with Altheimer's? In the past, I've heard people suggest that.
All this talk of chips and ice cream has made me hungry.
Bribes and greed are the destroyers of Truth
Ben, please look into B vitamin supplementation to increase your skin's tolerance to sun exposure.
Woke up and not perfect cause had two coffees with sugared creamer. Made sure to eat salmon with mayo and onion, cheese, pecans, peanut butter, some mini peppers and a berry smoothie made with homemade pecan "milk" and frozen berries. Fasting for the rest of the day. Pleased with myself.
One is too many and 100 is not enough.
Ben, you've made a difference in my life... Thank you 🙏
This is definitely happening to me right now. I am beginning to know that lowering blood glucose is vital to reducing insulin resistance
How are u doing now
It’s funny how bodybuilders knew all of this in the 1950’s.
running one's human body is like running an energy reactor.
On the matter of medication side effects, I am on an antipsychotic called olanzapine which has a side effect of raising my insulin. So because I take it before bed, while most people's insulin is going down at night while they sleep because theyre fasting, mine goes up. Keto, intermittent fasting and strength training are what I do during each day to reverse the insulin to go down again, put my body into ketosis and lose body fat.
Fantastically informative, plenty of notes taken here, and next shopping and drs trips will be very different to the past. Thank you all. 🏆💯🌞
Yup, food is medicine! Saifedean please follow up by having Dr. SHIVA Ayyadurai, MIT PhD on your Show and to make it spicy educate him on bitcoin he needs some enlightenment in that area but other wise he is spot on "Truth, Freedom and Health"
🌞
He says chop the whole thing down hut said earlier that your brain is looking for glucose then secondarily for ketones. The root of insulin resistance in the long term is the overconsumption of fats. Look at natural bodybuilders and youll see that their fat macros are under 60g and eating 30% protein 65% carbs. The key is knowing the demand for our bory and to feed it the associated supply of nutrients. Your body will use it the carbohydrates so the blood sugar will be stable and your use the fat so that you arent over saturated contributing to insulin resistance.
Very good, I’ve been vindicated. I would rather burn than put on sunscreen.
My wife is a professor at a private university too, but unfortunately, they are even more woke than the public universities.
😢
What is the “unmentionable drug” that would get him canceled?
The love of money is the root of all evil in the prison planet🙏
So the doctor mentioned to drink raw apple cider vinegar with club soda or water. Does anyone know what benefit this offers? The doctor got cut off when he was trying to explain why this was important.
Alkalizing the system. Many of us are too acidic. Acidic environments create disease. Theres a book called Alkalize or Die. The bacteria in the vinegar is the alkalizing agent which is why it has to be organic with the mother, the mother being the bacteria cloudy part doing the fermenting.
He talked about ACV @46:36
th-cam.com/video/jcNdYHdbJak/w-d-xo.html
Slows down glucose metabolism. You won't get a huge insulin spike
It’s also supposed to help you lose weight, but do dilute it well, if you suffer from acid reflux please don’t try it, the pain is awful.
It’s a Short chain fatty acid. Even though it’s vinegar
Do we go cold turkey off insulin if we are not eating carbs?
Probably.
Yes if you are insulin resistant, I’ve just been diagnosed with pre diabetes, and I’ve immediately started a form of Keto, keeping carbs to 20g per day, I already feel better in just a month, I am not going to even start medication for diabetes because it just covers the problem not solve the problem, in time the dosage will have to go up as I just carry on in the same groove and then I will need more drugs. Once I get my insulin and blood glucose down, I can relax that and add in a few wholemeal carbs, that raise glucose more slowly, but to get it right it needs cutting.
No…. Your brain has to ADAPT to burning fat AGAIN. If the body hasn’t become fat adapted your brain becomes TOO hungry & your new way of eating will fail. Dr Ben says hunger always wins. It needs to be gradual…. Try again if you didn’t make it the first or 50th time. If you get really hungry, go make a big steak every single time. And NO snacking. As Dr Rob Cywes says, “snacking is an EMOTIONAL event!”
Dr Bikman, has touched on cholesterol in his book about heart disease like cardiovascular disease..Can he answer why older people have high cholesterol? Is this because of insulin resistance?
People like you both would do so much better running the US Government. How much better off we would be 😊
Sadly, money speaks much louder than science and the truth. 🙏❤️
Saif is the GOAT
Good, X3LNT, Best and Bikman.
Now would some one put in order the connection and relation of this list:
Physiological insulin resistance in the fat cell AND in the presence of saturated fat thus a lot of superoxide signal indicatin a strong FADH2/NADH 0.45
Pathological insulin sensitivity in fat cells ie. F/N
Read dr Ben Bikman book excellent.
Watch Dr Bart Kay on Randle cycle. You can have either Fat or carb but NEVER together. The brain prefers ketones. Carbs are not essential but if you were in a “true starvation” situation and only carbs were available then, of course, that would be your only choice. But no starving person will become excited by finding a field of green or gold. But they would be pretty excited to eat an animal that was grazing in that field. Sad that something must die so that we can live but all animals are eating & killing something to live. Unless you’re an insect. But I do not hate a cat or dog for being a carnivore. Which is their optimal diet. Dr. Ben on a different videos talks about how canines have almost the exact same open energy digestive system as Homo sapiens
what’s the verdict on rice? i’m asian and can’t avoid eating it
I had a Korean friend in college who got diabetes. His doctor told him he couldn't eat rice... He cried. Anyways, I think the winning strategy is to fast for 16 hours per day, and that will do more to improve health than cutting out rice. It's called 16/8 intermittent fasting. I've been doing it myself and it's working, I'm losing weight.
Rice is bad, and often polluted with arsenic.
I believe there is nothing wrong with eating rice. But these days people eat pasta rice with lots of fat especially seed oils. There is no single grow up animal in this planet which eat high fat and high carbohydrate food at the time, so this must tells you something fundamental about animal energy metabolism.
Eat less, add vinegar
Rice will spike insulin and cause all the chronic disease Ben talks about
Add supervised fasting to the carnivore diet and see no issue keep hold 😊
how do we know what the "standard" or "normal" values for these biomarkers are? since when have we been measuring this stuff?
"it is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a sick society"
were the food habits already bad when these "normal" values were established?
Not sure if this applies, but there have been studies on tribal societies before and after "developing."
In the 1950 before American food agency gave directions for the food pyramid, with the base of the pyramid being all carbohydrates, and the really bad fats right at the top was the boggie man, on a few unsubstantiated tests, fooled the world, very few people were fat,m they didn’t eat loads of carbs, or have this disease of diabetes. Read his book it’s excellent.
Our bodies makes its own glucose, cholesterol uniquely to each person.
Ben, you get it. We are in a clown world. Sigh.
1:29:54 I'm so glade you consider psychiatry a scam cause as a science your diagnoses should come at similar results across the board but as some know you can go to 12 different psychiatrists and receive multiple different diagnoses
to be fair to the folks focusing on seed oil: aren't guys like tucker goodrich and paul saladino saying that seed oils do lots of their damage through mechanisms other than insulin resistance?
I’ve had phenomenal results on carnivore, however I’m currently trying the croissant diet after reading Brad Marshall’s work, I’ve modified it so it’s a couple of massive cheese burgers a day and a pint of ice cream, all homemade with absolutely zero seed oils and I’m still losing weight, loads of energy and I’ve just started adding in a bottle of red wine and I’m experiencing no hangover or energy loss in the morning. Speaks volumes about how much even a small about of seed oils can mess you up

@@fusion9619 how? It’s all made with simple ingredients that humans have been consuming for 10s of thousands of years. If you eat leaves or granola and don’t think that’s bad but you think what I eat is bad then you are just not thinking.
@@sandrawestley4193 no idea what the sardine diet is but the diet I describe is all with simple ingredients, no additives or seed oils or processed anything that humans have been eating for 10s of thousands of years or in the case of fatty red meant 500,000 at least. If you look at 98% of the food in a supermarket and think that’s normal but see what I eat which is lots of healthy fat and protein a think think thats barmy then you just haven’t thought about things. I don’t want to convince anyone to eat any way but your response is what’s wrong with modern health. Take most ‘health’ food they are insane if you stop and think but people don’t, the fact breakfast cereal and fruit juice is exists let alone is given to children is insane.

This guy is the oldest bro scientist ever! JK great discussion, more please!
First thing in the morning to have a good amount of fatty meat..???
Who the heck would reach for that??... the first thing in the morning shouldn't be food.... unless you are hungry and can think through what healthy options you could go with 😅
can the beta cells die makening reversing insulinresistence impossible ?
Higher the ketones the lower the glucose?
Yes.
At 1:02 you're making the same argument CP Snow made in The Two Cultures.... and that was in the 50s... it's only gotten worse
De-central all money from the world cartels, then bit coin would work better...all people could use that for goods,items from craftsmen. De-centralize is the key.
