I’d like to know about the effects of changes in the hormone levels in menopause with IR. Women commonly states, with no change in low carb or Carnivore Diet, that when they hit menopause, they suddenly gain significant weight.
I swear someone could get a degree from youtube with how much information there is. This feels more in-depth and up to date than txtbooks. Thank you Dr. Bikman!!
We live is a plasma universe. Galactic wave geomagnetic excursion is happening now. Hence climate change stuff happening on all planets in our solar system. Going to get much worse in the next couple decades. Volcanos, earthquakes, solar flares. 12k year global reset stuff. All the Bible thumper will claim Jesus us returning. We call it a pole flip. Micro nova. So says my u tube degree.
Ben Bikmen is a superb scientist and a wonderful conveyor of complex information in a concise and readily understandable manner .Yet another great presentation !!
I saw my dietician today, she gave me 20 pages on a Low-calorie diet for weight management. We are going to test insulin resistance in a few days, curious to know what she changes. I am going low carb for it makes more sense. I also bought Dr. Bikman's book, might have to share with them.
Send your dietician a link to this video. The information herein, is extremely vital in understanding the role of insulin. Bikman is the #1 source of this information. No one else can present it better.
It sounds like you have a very well-informed physician. Good for you. There are many databases, looking for healthcare providers, who follow the low-carb approach. I do outreach for one of them. I would like to contact get the contact info for your physician and contact her to find out if she'd like to be listed. Sound good?
Watched twice because Dr Ben Bikman presents so much incredible information with such delight; a wonderful speaker and cool graphics. A wealth of knowledge!!!❤ Thank you all for sharing such relevant information!🙏
thank you for the video on the topic of safe weight management. the tips shared were very useful to me. i started my journey towards a healthier lifestyle with Aspect Health services and it has truly transformed my approach to health and confidence. now, i feel more energetic and vibrant every day, all thanks to the guidance i received. incorporating their strategies has been a game-changer for me, and i cant recommend it enough. taking small steps like these has made a big difference in how i feel both inside and out.
Excellent presentation for those on the fence about low carb and open to info. It combines many of Bikmans other presentations into one great nugget. In some of his other presentations he gets into the plagues of prosperity in more detail so this is not the prez i share with newly diagnosed cancer patients, but it’s definitely one i’ll be sharing with general audience. Well done!
@murdermittensnyc what would be a good Bikman presentation to share with a newly diagnosed cancer patient, if you would kindly let me know? :) thank you in advance!
What an interesting lecture. I believe I will listen to it at least one more time for the info to settle in but I’m happy for the opportunity to be able to listen to such a world class individual.
took many screen shots and sent to my friend and mom! btw, my mom has dropped 15lbs since coming over to keto, mostly carnivore over the past few months. along with massive reduction in joint pain, total appetite control and much less puffiness/inflammation in her face. thank you Dr!!
I had a stroke last year, diabetes and hypertension for twenty years, I am so glad to have found this podcast. Really answered many of my questions and concerns. Thanks doctor for saving our lives.
Thanks very much Dr. Bikman for your perseverance to studying the cells and presenting this topic in such an easy to understand manner, much appreciated.
Amazing Presentation. I love when you can take something that we know in the back of our minds and bring it forward and show it with actual data. It felt great to be included in the presenting by asking us questions and allowing time for us to think about our answer before giving us the answer. Never feel silly about your displays. They are very easy on the eyes and the mind and get the point across very effectively.
This is exactly what I have been asking. I couldn't understand why a person's blood sugar wouldn't change after a cookie and mine blood sugar shoot to the moon. BUT he has the signs of insulin resistance. High blood pressure, extra weight etc. Thank you thank you
Unfortunately I have to inject insulin. I am lada. I wish I could just quit, but I have been DKA four times and I don’t want to do that again. But I am listening to Dr Bikman and trying to make myself more insulin sensitive.
Brilliant presentation!! Dr Bikman is giving us very valuable information. I am able to clear my concepts and hope to help my daughter with IR. Would appreciate if we could have some detailed information on the tests for IR and what insulin fasting levels are ok and if high and the doctor does that glucose drinking test then what are the levels which are normal which are high and this is done 1 hour, 2 hours etc. Pls explain as our doctors don't explain and just prescribe medication.
Fantastic seminar!! You broke it down beautifully and explained things better than I have ever heard. I’m getting the insulin test with my next lab draw to see where I am and appreciate your videos tremendously
Interesting insights. For the weight gain case studies, you can find small sample sizes in many of the online keto groups who experiment with high calorie low carb diets to show how hard it is to gain weight even 5000cal/day. Many of them gained little to no weight after 1-4 weeks, and some even lost weight. Many found they would have gym gains of muscle and smaller waist to hip ratio. I have never been able to do it, it's just too much food!
I would LOVE to see that hypercaloric study!! I read and follow many, many doctors that are influencers in both camps -- LCHF and HCLF. The HCLF people claim you can't get fat on high carbs in the absence of dietary fat. One of them uses the mantra "the fat you eat is the fat you wear". I find that absurd and does not comport with my experience at all. On the other hand, the LCHF docs (like Dr. Bickman here) seems to be claiming I will not get fatter if I cut out the carbs. Again, not my experience.
Bickman doesn't claim that. He frequently mentions that energy restriction is an important step for weight loss, but first it's important to lower the insulin by limiting carbs so the brain hunger signals are controlled and then you can consume less energy (through time restricted eating) without the brain sabotaging your efforts. The usual problem of classic calorie restriction is that the person has to battle against their hunger signals and hunger will eventually win and people gain their weight back plus more because extreme caloric restriction also lowers metabolic rate. I love Dr Jason Fung's work regarding this. A way to reduce calories without having a collapse of the metabolic rate is to fast intermittently (like twice a week), so the body doesn't adjust to an overall smaller amount of calories. Also fats and protein with few carbs are more satiating, making the person eat fewer calories (but still you have to be careful with liquid fats like cream because those are easier to overeat. Dr Atkins advocated being careful with added fats and cheese, but being more liberal with fatty meat and eggs)
Hi Ben I will agree with you, when I as a type 1 Diabetic, take more Insulin, i put weight on, when i reduce my insulin i loose weight. So the insulin have big effect on your weight, as you also told us in your youtube video. Carsten
We in Britain pronounce capillary different to Professor Bickman. The same with duodenum , he pronounces this different. Quite interesting. The lecture is very informative and am so grateful that from it, we can learn the REAL science of fat.
Loved this! ❤ Thank you, Dr. B for another great presentation. I think this one maybe one of my favorites because it really drives home that fat cells cannot grow without insulin! We know through chem that everything, including protein will trigger insulin, but it is the lowest trigger along with some dairy- so the key for someone who is insulin resistant would be go carnivore! ❤
Yes, but that doesn’t by any means mean that fat is a freebie. If fat is over consumed, it will happily hang around until that insulin is raised. And it doesn’t take much.
After a heart attack I am on a low fat diet to reduce lipids, inflammation and insulin resistance. My energy level is low and I am cold all the time even though I eat plenty of carbohydrates. Thanks to Dr. Bikman I kinda understand what is going on. Unfortunately, because I have had several strokes, I probably won't remember this tomorrow.
So how do people on low cal high carb diets lose weight since their insulin levels should be high ?? It’s very confusing … how do people on weight watchers or body builders lose weight while eating lots carbs ??
6:32 this is very interesting... he says that your fat cells become insulin resistant prevent further growth that it cannot handle. that contradicts what Dr. Fung says which is that it's unknown why a cell's insulin receptor becomes nonresponsive
41:43 The decrease in waist circumference may be strictly due to the decrease in gaseous volume in the bowel (starch in diet immediately bloats the stomach very visibly, cut the starch and waist circumference drops within 24 hrs), waist circumference cannot be used as a proxy of body fat, is it too variable.
I'm dealing with inflammatory bowel and awful eczema, inflammed eyes... and have just been diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder... I think all of these issues are chronically increasing my BGLs!! I'm dealing with constantly... I'm concerned for my liver & kidneys and also my diabetes which seems to spike even when I don't eat... but my blood sugar seems to spike when Im injured or sick due to the "fight or flight" reaction... causing the liver to increase blood sugar levels to deal with the "threat"... I haven't found a resolution to this, and my Blood Sugar can actually get quite high sometimes without eating anything when I'm sick...❤ I'm worried because my vague understanding is that they will probably want to treat this situation with something that might adversely affect my diabetes... any suggestions or advice from someone who is familiar with this predicament will be appreciated and welcomed! ❤❤
Hypo - inability to make more fat cells, hence the present cells get bigger and start leaking Hyperplasia - can generate more fat cells for additional storage.
My wife 71, has a good deal of healthy fat in the thighs and hips which Dr Ali says is protective in her case. She has been fat adapted mostly since 1998. She meets criteria for a lean mass hyper responder. At her current weight which is considerable, latest labs from Dr Nadir Ali: Fasting glucose 90 A1C 5.3 Insulin 5.3 Triglyceride 73 HDL 73 Vit D 65 Very insulin sensitive. She has had adiponectine tested in the past and it was very good, up around 20 I think. Now, if she put on 50 lbs, this would be completely different.
Sure, it's simplified, but a membrane under stress is vulnerable to rupture, insertion of additional phospholipid molecules to expand the cell wall is problematic as is hyperplaisia, and it is much easier and more efficient for the cell to signal stress by releasing leptin and adiponectin in an effort to somatically lower insulin and promote glucagon..
I have been trying to point you Ben to the leptin melano cortin pathway. It takes you sub atomic. It is chystal clear. The chemistry ow water and protium. Pleeeez look into it.
So what dr will check free fatty acid levels?? Heck i cant even get one to check my hormone levels of estrigen and progesterone and i have ebdometrial cancer grade one and they want me to do an IUD treatment to cure that with the progesterone doing the work but id like to have a hormone levels done first!!!
Great presentation! With regards to the Adipo-IR, I wonder what are the most widespread and affordable ways of measuring FFAs. Is TG level the same as FFAs? Or at least close enough? Or do we need special measurement for FFAs?
I love this video! But there appears to be a glaring error of logic in his explanation. He stated that “there is absolutely no way to grow the fat cell without insulin.” But this is in the context of his lab and his experiments don’t prove his point. They merely prove that he hasn’t found another way to do it. In reality the body is incredibly complex and it’s very likely there are other hormones or combinations of hormones that may cause fat cell hypertrophy in ways we don’t understand. I’m interested in his view on this point.
Dr. Chris Knoppe speaks to this topic in his lecture 'Diseases of Civilization: Are Seed Oil Excesses the Unifying Mechanism?' : th-cam.com/video/7kGnfXXIKZM/w-d-xo.html
Wow the best was the last: insulin x free fatty acids, male less than 5 fat cells are insulin sensitive, women less than 8 fat cells are insulin sensitive!
I enjoy the video, but with all the references to insulin spike, I think it should have been demonstrated just what it takes to spike insulin enough for the fat cells to gobble up those fats floating around in the blood. Seems people might get the idea that fat gets a free ride on a lc diet because insulin is not spiked. But I believe it’s fair to say that this is generally not true because of the protein consumption. So easy on those boxes of fat bombs there Charlie.

Hypo - inability to make more fat cells, hence the present cells get bigger and start leaking
Hyperplasia - can generate more fat cells for additional storage.
Hypo = hypertrophic 😊

My wife 71, has a good deal of healthy fat in the thighs and hips which Dr Ali says is protective in her case. She has been fat adapted mostly since 1998. She meets criteria for a lean mass hyper responder. At her current weight which is considerable, latest labs from Dr Nadir Ali:
Fasting glucose 90
A1C 5.3
Insulin 5.3
Triglyceride 73
HDL 73
Vit D 65
Very insulin sensitive.
She has had adiponectine tested in the past and it was very good, up around 20 I think.
Now, if she put on 50 lbs, this would be completely different.
How do you measure your Free Fatty Acids? Is this part of standard lipid panel?
But overall great info!!! Wasn’t sure if the idea of fat cell popping was just a simplification
Sure, it's simplified, but a membrane under stress is vulnerable to rupture, insertion of additional phospholipid molecules to expand the cell wall is problematic as is hyperplaisia, and it is much easier and more efficient for the cell to signal stress by releasing leptin and adiponectin in an effort to somatically lower insulin and promote glucagon..

Please talk about ozempic. How does it affect our bodies
I heard him talk about it in another interview and said that 50% of the weight-loss it catalyzes is from lean mass 😱
Evil.
Q: Regarding the "Adipo-IR" index: what available blood tests provide the insulin and FFA results needed to calculate this? Is it fasting insulin?
My question as well….
well now that Birman says it, its sort of obvious…. But until he said it, it would be hard to get your head around…. Great talk…

You might have to go get the labs yourself. It seems doctors don’t want to go against the payer’s guidelines, and that is the insurance co.
