Thank you thank you thank you thank you! I have never heard any of this from my doctor. I have started eating a meat-based diet and my mind is so much clearer! I am 66 years old. I am so excited about everything now! It’s easier to learn and remember!
Love you people! I reckon I could listen to you all every day. . I so look forward to all the Insulin IQ talks every week. Thank you so much for educating us.
Love all Dr Ben Bikman’s videos and books. Insulin resistance and diabetic are definitely contributing factors but there are many others. My parents both were diabetics for decades. Mom’s blood glucose control was always better than dad but she has Alzheimer’s, dad doesn’t. Mom’s mom had Alzheimer’s so genetics played a role. Also she had gingivitis when she was young so that probably contributed to it too. Just my observation.
Thanks Dr. Bikman for pronouncing Alzheimer’s correctly! It’s a pet peeve of mine that people pronounce it “all timer’s”. Which by the way, is how your narrator pronounces it in your audio book. 😏 (It’s Al-z-Hi-mer’s.)
I find all your videos really interesting. High sugar/high fat foods is the extreme end of the spectrum for many people in the West causing high rates of metabolic disease. High meat/high fat is another extreme as is a plant based diet. For those eating an omnivore diet based on whole grains, legumes meat dairy fruit and vegetables and not high fat/sugar, I assume that insulin sensitivity is still good!? Mine seems to be. I do a lot of exercise and am menopausal. A point that Carly raised links with a question I have. Can everyone utilise fat burning and ketones. Surely, there are variations. After menopause with mountain biking my blood sugar crashed and I couldn't perform and I have had to use dextrose on the bike. I don't like high levels of pure meat and the associated fat doesn't clear well. After I did a 16 hr fast my blood glucose was 4.4 and I was out of it all day and needed to keep eating. This is very similar to how I am on the bike. I eat loads and I still can't keep my blood sugar up. So 2 questions: Very low carb high protein/saturated fat is one approach. How about the impact of high fibre/high protein/fruit/vegetables? But also, can everyone definately function well on high ketones. I don't think I do. And I don't know what exactly is happening on my bike in terms of metabolism when I can't function, but it's not good. I keep my blood sugar steady with my normal diet but it doesn't work on the bike which demands a lot of energy. That didn't happen before menopause. Other videos note that the drop in oestrogen in menopause reduces womens ability to fat burn. So what is altering the ability to sustain high endurance exercise. Feeling hypo and not functioning mentally runs in the family in females. I think it was happening before menopause. But not to this extent!

Glad to hear you've found some hope! I'm pulling for you.
I just discovered these videos this week. Thank you so much. It is a real service
Great work Dr. Bikman. Exciting research you are doing to help human kind.
Thank you.

Dr Bikman, Thank you, I really needed to hear this message!!!
At least i can recommend some advice to my elderly patients with cognitive decline! appreciated classroom!

"All-timers" is very American
What about insulin degrading enzyme? Where does that fit in?
Is the pet test a cat scan or lab test...ie cat or dog.
Dogs eating kibble are on high carb diets. I wonder if dementia in a dog is caused by the same thing as humans.

Ben .. your a legend in my life time.. sadly.. perhaps not in yours..
Wonder podcast
High insulin / glucose plus high ketones (exogenous)? Isn't that ketoacidosis which is lethal?
Hi glucose + high ketones = ketoacidosis
Ketosis and ketoacidosis are 2 different things.
