Love the back and forth however, Interrupting a guests point to tell a joke was maddening. Several points that Bikman never finished due to untimely interruptions. Other than that it was AWESOME!
Hyman is incredibly distracting and annoying; constantly interrupting and making noises throughout the conversation. Props to Bikman for keeping his focus and staying on topic.
I owe these two fine gentlemen my life! It was 12 midnight, January 7, 2022, I woke up to a very painful stomach. Went to the toilet, was writhing in pain on the toilet seat. I literally wanted to die from the pain. What's worse was nothing was coming out! After about 30mins of the most excruciating pain in my life, I started defecating. I breathed a sigh of relief and I started FBing on my phone, and I happened upon this video. I've never engaged in health videos before. Never heard of either doctors before. How FB's algorithm decided to show me this video is nothing short of God's divine intervention. This video jump started my journey to eating healthy (no processed food, no sugar, low carb, lots of veggies and whole food). I am obese (272lbs, 5' 8", 44yo, male) and overweight by 110lbs last Jan 12. Now, 3 months and 1 week later, I am only 220lbs! I lost 52lbs! And I won't stop losing weight until I reach my ideal body weight of 160lbs. Currently in day 4 in what I hope would be a 7 day water fast. Previously, my longest water fast was 5 days. I hope Dr. Hyman won't mind, but I would also like to mention the other doctors that helped me in my journey: Dr. Pradip Jamnadas, Dr. Jason Fung, and Dr. Eric Berg. You, guys, rock!!!!
Some great docs on your list. So glad you found the info, and if God counts the hairs on your head (so to speak) you better believe He can get algos to trigger to help you solve your problems. Persevere brother.
Way to go, buddy! It's been a year+ now, have you kept with it the whole time? Anything too drastic might not be sustainable long term, just keep working on meat & veggies, lots of exercise wherever possible INCLUDING strength training, quality sleep, & sunshine!
Ben Bikman is a very polite individual. Even when he gets interrupted (quite often and unnecessarily) he stops talking, smirks and when allowed goes on with the subject. Very nice man! and super interesting. Too much witticism is not advantageous to a serious conversation.
Tests: 1. Fasting Insulin should be below 5 2. Oral Glucose tolerance test ( at 30 mins, and at 2 hour) 3. Triglyceride to HDL ratio should be less than 1.5 - no insulin resistance. If above 1.5 , there is insulin resistance 4 . Waist to height ratio - if waist circumference ( around navel) times 2 is higher than height , there is insulin resistance. If less, there is none. 5. Skin signs Skin tags, acanthosis nigricans Lipid test NMR- LDL particle no and size CRP, uric acid , liver function test. Management : (small fat cells just multiply and dont become insulin resistant , not inflammatory ; big fat cells, hypertrophy, insulin resistant , inflammatory). 1. Exercise: the best is the one you do, particularly after the most starchy, spiking-insulin meal. This makes cells insulin sensitive, 2. Supplements: berberine, cinnamon, vitamin D, alfa-lipoic acid, magnesium, omega 3 fats, biotin, chromium 3. Medications: metformin ( is only half as effective as lifestyle changes) 4. Nutrition: control insulin by control carbohydrates, prioritize protein , and dont fear fats. Eat when hungry, dont Control carbs, eat them, dont drink them , dont eat them out of boxes and barcodes, Eat them from vegetables and fruits. Get high quality protein, lots of it. Focus on ancestral fat, from fruit fats and animal fats. - dairy fat, avocado , olives/olive oil, coconut oil, nuts ( seed oils cause fat cells to go into hypertrophy-inflammatory route; also saturated fats are stable but seed oils ( polyunsatirayed oils) are unstable and become easily oxidized which is phagocytosed by macrophages ( start of atherosclerosis).
People have commented that Mark doesn't allow his guests to talk. I understand this. He gets excited and wants to get his reply out before he forgets what he will say. (I have the same problem, I tend to interrupt people too, I must find a way to stop doing this). I have learned so much from this video and believe I will reverse my type 2 diabetes.
Hi Mark, as a debate coach, you need to allow people to talk…and stop agreeing with people. It’s a common tick that is highly irritating in a podcast format. Otherwise, it was a very good conversation.
Oh my dog, thank you. i just stopped this less than 1/4 of the way in, b/c I can't stand Hyman! I want to listen to Dr. Bikman but Hyman is so obnoxious and that laughter is strange. Too bad he doesn't read his comments. I'm going to look for another interview of Dr. Bikman when I can listen to him uninterrupted.
I was thinking how obnoxious and immature this doctor sounds with all the mean jokes and crazy laughter he kept displaying. Ugh. I’m so glad the comment section is filled with complaints about this. I had to stop 20 minutes in and check to see if I was the only one thinking this way. 🤮
@@jactac838 Yeah, but most of them were not forwarding the conversation, but him just trying to be funny or correcting how the other dr pronounced his words to sound smarter. He may be a great doctor, but this interview was excellent except his “interruptions”.
I’m reading Why We Get Sick, and I can’t get enough of Dr. Bikman. I seek him out everywhere I can online. He’s brilliant. I don’t care for the host. He seems really impressed with himself. “I don’t jiggle.” “I don’t jiggle.”🙄🙄🙄we don’t care.
I KNEW IT! I knew something was off that doctors don’t understand! SPECTACULAR GUYS! Gained 69 lbs in 5 years and eating habits haven’t changed. Never been sick until now! A senior now and refuse Rx’s. Worked in medicine enough (pathology). etc. to resist it all! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻congrats and thank you!!!
In my weight loss journey (74 pounds so far) I have consumed somewhere between 150 and 200 hours of TH-cam videos discussing metabolism. This interviewer is the most obnoxious I have heard so far. Constantly interrupting with inane and irrelevant comments, and trying to be funny and witty without success is just offputting. Kudos to Dr. Ben for handling it so well with such grace and patience.
In Australia, fasting insulin tests are commonly ordered. In fact, it picked up my high A1C and put me on the path to serious diet reassessment. A low-carb diet saw me drop from 84kgs to 56 kgs. My sore knee, which the physio said was caused by arthritis was really just inflammation caused by a high carb/sugar diet. At almost 60, I’m now running pain free and not staring down the barrel of Type 2 like my father. Thanks for this wonderful reinforcement of the only truly healthful way of eating.
My arthritis problem also better when I turn to ketogenic diet.Now I can play tennis and work out in the gym 5-6 time per week without pain. I am 48 years not over weights.
Not true that fasting insulin is tested a lot in Australia. NOT TRUE. I am in Melbourne and I have had one (1) fasting insulin done in my LIFE. Also the GP who ordered it lied to me, telling me it was normal. Now I know it could not possibly have been normal. Thanks to that Dr never telling me I was pre diabetic or ever at risk for diabetes, I am Type 2 with severe insulin resistance. It makes me very resentful.
@@dorsetboronia6744 I have had one done every year since 2015 when my doctor told me I was pre-diabetic. I think if you are aware of the test it makes it easier to request it. A lot of people who are not tuned into this way of eating/living are unaware of the various markers that they can measure to maintain their health.
My dad had intestinal ischemia, had 3m removed and has a stomabag. He was lean, in his mid 70s. He lost a lotnof weight and has trouble absorbing nutrients. We noticed his mood improved and what we think is early signs of dementia have gone. His hand eye coordination, memory etc are all back to normal. Also he is now interested in the news and is talkative again, before this for the pass years he only gave 1 word answers. I have gone keto and fasting, now on dirty keto and have gone from obese to overweight and still losing weight.
The way you conducted this interview is 0 out 10 star. What a waste not to let Dr. Bikman do what what he does best! Why the interruptions? 🙄 I will not finish this video because I know I can find Dr. Bikman somewhere else, better still I will go back to listen to his book on audibles!!
At age 38 I went to a doctor ( I don't remember why)and I remember that he was concerned abniut my slightly elevated blood pressure and he prescribed medication. He also made the comment that your blood sugar is a little high but nothing to worry about right now. I was probably pre-diabetic then. At age 54 I was diagnosed as diabetic.
Mark excellent interview. This guy!s brain is on fire. He is clearly burning keytones.Overall best detailed talk I have ever heard about insulin/glucose/fats/diebetes
Ben is great. Mark I love your interviews, but the amount of intertuptions in this one made me unable to get the information and many parts I listened 2x's! I'm still not sure what he said!
A lot of great info in this discussion. Mark constantly interrupting got annoying, and took away from the talk. Let the guest talk. Isn't that's why you invited them on?
Not gonna lie, this isn't the first time I've seen Mark interrupt with comments that don't even need to be said. I'm not sure if he's trying to be cool. But I always feel bad for the special guest. It comes off in a really rude, condescending way that triggers me. Great video though. I can listen to this topic & bikman go on for the rest of my life haha. Thanks for the content.
@@christiancoats1 Looks like you are part of the problem and your comments about going to "your local family physician" are childish. Hyman's viewers are the ones monetizing his channel so the gratitude should go both ways. He could use a few lessons on how to conduct an interview without alienating his viewers and his guests.
@@procrusteus I'm appreciative of the work he puts in and him sharing his knowledge. Your mentality is EXACTLY the problem. You people are unbelievable. You think your passive, selfish watching of his channel means you deserve something. Get over yourself.
I absolutely love both of you and appreciate this podcast and in fact, by asking clarifying questions, Mark is helping us understand as well as admitting that he doesn't know it all, which is why i value this man so much. That being said, what neither one of you jas addressed is the fact that at least 50% of people who are overweight are EMOTIONAL EATERS. Its something that ive seen so many people struggling with in ny coaching practice.
Ben Bikman is fantastic and a real pro. The interviewer however is all me -me -me. So disrespectful to Bikman and his brilliance. Also he may be a Dr (not necessarily anything to crow about these days) but Ben Bikman is a SCIENTIST which frankly trumps a GP Dr every time.
I see what you are saying about Mark interrupting, but he also brings clarity for people who need it, like me. Thanks to both of you I understand better now the role of fats and oils in our metabolic systems.
Nobody talks about high protein diet and kidney function. I myself had to incorporate a more balanced approach regarding carbs, fats and protein. I had elevated BUN and Uric acid kidney stones.
I did keto and felt way better than SAD.. then went carnivore. Getting off vegetables made me feel way better. Energy, testosterone, gut health all improved greatly.
While beneficial in many cases, I was unable to maintain a low carb diet. After 6 months, I could no longer sleep well, unable to handle stress, and developed a hormone imbalance. What also likely contributed to that was I consumed only 1400 calories a day. I was never hungry though and shocked at how little i was eating when i began to track. I feel much better with my daily carbohydrate intake (healthy of course!) at 30%, also making sure to eat high quality protein and fats. As a nutritionist, I believe there is never a one-size-fits-all approach.
Keto diet seems to be very effective to overweighted ppl. I am at the thin side, I lost almost 30 pounds after I started keto for 2 months, leaving myself skin and bone, tired and hair loss…
Exelent video. I love both. In the Czech Republic, we have the fifth Minister of Health in 2 years of pandemic. Neither knows what insulin resistance is. My family has low insulin thanks to you. I will be grateful for that within 100 years. Health Šupík Jiří
Super informative video. Thank you to both drs! Would love to hear a part 2 discussion of the role of stress (and cortisol) in the development of insulin resistance. It’s something we see clinically often in clients with chronic trauma and/or chronic stress
I've tried keto 5 months and I lost my period for 4 months, I know there must be something wrong how I did it to match my hormones. However, I still kept believes in low carb diet and so I switched to ketovore and carnivore and I got my period back ever since, and I feeling more energized more ambitious and always in a good mood , also I don't really craved sweets and starchs.... by going through these I realized how important animal fats and protein to my body... ketovore and carnivore diets r much more sustainable to me, I'm on my way to the 6 months extremely low carb diet👍 and still feeling good
I love Ben Bikman, now I'm a new subscriber b/c I could tell Marks very knowledgeable and passionate, also I like how engaged he is and focused. More doctors should start paying attention, to insulin resistance and recommend the keto/high protein lowest carb diets. Keto and the snake diet fasting, helped me lose 100lbs and counting, I am leaning towards carnivore though and possibly adding some fruits when I finally get to ideal weight. Seeking knowledge, the never-ending story.
Just a suggestion , blackboard explaining insulin resistance , fat storage ect. Would for most that don’t see the whole picture, names ( Bio and Chemical jargon.) ty.
Hi Guys Thanks to both of you I’ve figured out myself that I am no longer pre diabetic but in fact diabetic 😢 I’ve gone Whole Foods, no sugar or standard carbs and having regular exercise and I’m feeling much better. Less thirsty, especially at night and I can control my bladder - such a relief
just start watching from 40:20 There is enough info for any one to do to loose weight and stay healthy. only 5 min and all you have to practice to get better life.
Exercise greatly increases your carbohydrate tolerance by way of glycogen. Post workout I will consume 100gm of sweet potato in my breakfast. Pre meal bg will start at 4.4 mmol. 1 hour postprandial bg never rises above 4.8 mmol. During lockdowns where I haven't exercised, that same amount of carbs can push bg to 5.7mmol.
Hey Mark, why don't you shut up for a minute so the rest of us can hear your guest answer your questions. Nobody cares if you "jiggle". Are you just so completely in love with the sound of your own voice that you can't stand not hearing it every 15 seconds?
3 primary causes of insulin resistance: 1. Elevated Insulin itself - reduce it by time-restricted eating, intermittent fasting, managing micronutrients by reducing carbohydrates ( don't get I from boxes/barcodes) , get it from vegetables and fruits. 2. Elevated stress hormones 3. Elevated inflammatory proteins or cytokines
The elephant in the room as to why the proper testing isn't done for fasting insulin, our practioners only do fasting glucose, as a rule is our insurance companies. It is outrageous - I have been asking our primary doctors to do fasting insulin abd the A1C test for over a year and they refuse to do so. I finally got one primary to admit they only do the A1C test once you have a fasting blood glucose of 130 two times, otherwise insurance won't pay for it. And that is just to get the A1C test - still won't approve the fasting insulin test at that level. Have to climb a mountain to get decent health care in this country. I know I can pay for tests out of my own pocket, but why should I - I already have high premiums. Tragic.
I live in England and we have free healthcare, and they do the same thing here. I half most of the 12 signs of insulin resistance and they will only do an A1C and and a no fasting glucose or insulin. It’s madness. Surely they know that your fasting insulin will show insulin problems long before anything else
I can’t believe how everyone’s complaining about Mark interrupting. The way I see it is he’s directing the flow of the conversation so we get the most information from the allotted time and he’s a master at it. Just my opinion. Mark, I love listening to your podcasts.
It works, on OMAD 5 days a week to start with then x2 meals a perday @ weekends..came off my insulin (dose X2 a day 48 units) I know one thing with better effects am feeling great! lost in my first week 7lbs.. sugars still higher than when eating excessive carbs on insulin, but am advised it will reduce over 12 weeks, on 20 carbs a day, weekend as well, two meals a day...same time 9am & 5pm..
So funny everytime I feel the host interrupts the guest talking consistently and it’s so hard for us to listen to, I always check the comments to see if others make comments about it 😅 HERE YOU GO!!!!!! Maybe talk to the guest first on how you two want to handle this, one person talking all the time or it’s more Q&A session style
great podcast. Dr. Lustig lists 7 sub cellular pathologies , in a TH-cam video, that are 1)glycation2) insulin resistance3)inflammation4)mitochondrial dysfunction5)membrane(intestinal wall)instability6)methylation7)autophagy.
I agree with other commentators that Hyman was interrupting too much. And to be honest he sounds drunk. 😂 could by why he was interrupting so much? Had a bit too much to drink before the interview? 🤣
1 month ago all of my fbc levels were pre T2. Been on 70/20/5 for 26days. From 224.6lb lost 13.2lbs. (1/2 lb/day) Following 25m cycle sun, got my bg to 4.0mmol and keytones 160mg/dL
Interesting, thank you. I did keto diet 10 years ago and lost huge amount of weight after 2 years I put it back on and more. I changed to plant based diet since then and I defiantly eat more vegetables and nuts than fruit. I keep my weight stable and perfect for my body. If I eat fruit in empty stomach I do put weight on. I try to keep my glucose down with eating first salads, nuts and protein then at the end I have couple fruit
You put the weight back on because you abandoned the keto. It doesn't work if you don't follow it. Now you're struggling to keep your glucose down when keto eliminates it.
This is one of my fav episodes maybe because I'm a postdoc in epigenetics. Ben is phenomenal!! Ive been vegan keto with IF for years. Have served me incredibly well but open minded to respond to my health accordingly
I have just come across this conversation. It’s fascinating and all aspects, in particular the fundamental aspects of the metabolic health has been well discussed. I am also surprised that only 200,000 or so viewing so far where I would’ve expected in millions. I realise some people are disturbed with the interruptions by Mark but he is such an enthusiastic podcaster so it did not really bother me personally.
Mark, "I won't interrupt anymore" five seconds later he starts interrupting multiple times while Ben was talking. Marks got good interviews BUT needs to stop interrupting so much and let the person finish.
Thank you for your work and great interview! Will have to research a little bit more to understand better , but overall so interesting! If I want to get more metabolically healthy which specialists should I look for? Thank you so much!
Incredible review and discussion regards to understanding how to change a persons health and longevity. Great information on explaining what high insulin does to your bodily metabolism and interactions to other hormones. Really enjoyed!!
You guys need to chill, mark keeps interview light. He explains things well. Example explaining MNR lipo profile. Mark likes to have fun light comments. I watch Internet every day on nutrition. Mark is the most informative dr for average Joe, handsdown
Dr. Hyman u already understand this. We don't. Please let this man's thoughts stay on track so WE can learn and understand.
Yes! Please let him talk and don’t interrupt so often.
Ben Bikman explains everything so clearly, and Mark wants to be the center of the interview 🙄
Yeah,but Mark exposes us to other terrific functional medicine practitioners. I throw him some slack and say thanks.
100 percent agree. Surely his guest feel devalued
Ben is brilliant, if only Mark would be quiet & let him speak - Mark constantly interrupts the guests in every interview, it's so frustrating
Love the back and forth however, Interrupting a guests point to tell a joke was maddening.
Several points that Bikman never finished due to untimely interruptions.
Other than that it was AWESOME!
I was just thinking this and came to the comments to see if I was the only one 😂😂
29:08 "I won't interrupt anymore."
There is self-awareness.
I appreciated the moments where he would recap what Bikman is saying but most of the interruptions were pointless and distracting for me.
Hyman is incredibly distracting and annoying; constantly interrupting and making noises throughout the conversation. Props to Bikman for keeping his focus and staying on topic.
Dr. Bilkman is an absolute wizard in his field. Wish that he was allowed to speak without interruptions next time.
Dr. Bikman is my hero!! What an intelligent, well spoken educator!
Maybe you should get a medical degree, 20 years of medical research and interview him then

Annoying af.
He is passionate and smart. Most of the podcast hosts like to interject. It is his show. Fair point and I have seen it before.
Exactly.. I found him annoying in this video. What is going on?
If you ask me I will say he's high on weed 🤣😅🤣😅
Yep. I just got to that point, and he interrupts 2 or 3 times with every sentence. This makes it almost impossible to listen to.
Please stop interrupting Mark! 🙏🏽

It's a conversation not an instructional video made by Ben.
Agreed. Let the guy finish a thought
@@jactac838
So you said before. But still Marks interruptions are annoying.
Ben Bikman is simply brilliant! I always learn so much when I listen to any of his talks/interviews 👍
Ben is great. Mark I love your interviews, but the amount of intertuptions in this one made me unable to get the information and many parts I listened 2x's! I'm still not sure what he said!
A lot of great info in this discussion. Mark constantly interrupting got annoying, and took away from the talk. Let the guest talk. Isn't that's why you invited them on?
Not gonna lie, this isn't the first time I've seen Mark interrupt with comments that don't even need to be said. I'm not sure if he's trying to be cool. But I always feel bad for the special guest. It comes off in a really rude, condescending way that triggers me. Great video though. I can listen to this topic & bikman go on for the rest of my life haha. Thanks for the content.
The laughing is weird.
Ben is excellent in explaining clearly the IR issue, too many interrupts and unnecessary information from host.
You ungrateful people are unbelievable. Go to your local family physician and see what info you get. Maybe you'll have some appreciation then.
It's his podcast and "it's a conversation" unnecessary rude comment, if you only care to listen to him watch his videos and not Marks.
Totally agree with OP
@@christiancoats1 Looks like you are part of the problem and your comments about going to "your local family physician" are childish. Hyman's viewers are the ones monetizing his channel so the gratitude should go both ways. He could use a few lessons on how to conduct an interview without alienating his viewers and his guests.
@@procrusteus I'm appreciative of the work he puts in and him sharing his knowledge. Your mentality is EXACTLY the problem. You people are unbelievable. You think your passive, selfish watching of his channel means you deserve something. Get over yourself.
I absolutely love both of you and appreciate this podcast and in fact, by asking clarifying questions, Mark is helping us understand as well as admitting that he doesn't know it all, which is why i value this man so much.
That being said, what neither one of you jas addressed is the fact that at least 50% of people who are overweight are EMOTIONAL EATERS. Its something that ive seen so many people struggling with in ny coaching practice.
Ben Bikman is fantastic and a real pro. The interviewer however is all me -me -me. So disrespectful to Bikman and his brilliance. Also he may be a Dr (not necessarily anything to crow about these days) but Ben Bikman is a SCIENTIST which frankly trumps a GP Dr every time.
I see what you are saying about Mark interrupting, but he also brings clarity for people who need it, like me. Thanks to both of you I understand better now the role of fats and oils in our metabolic systems.
Listening to Ben's fast pace brilliant output and delivery, it is an immediate boost of my health IQ, yes, instant.👍👍❤❗
Nobody talks about high protein diet and kidney function. I myself had to incorporate a more balanced approach regarding carbs, fats and protein. I had elevated BUN and Uric acid kidney stones.
You should add the sections and titles of the sections to your videos would help so much
so important yet still so overlooked, the simple step of ordering a fasting insulin test. Why more practitioners are not doing this is beyond me!
I did keto and felt way better than SAD.. then went carnivore. Getting off vegetables made me feel way better. Energy, testosterone, gut health all improved greatly.
Excellent discussion thank you both! Guest is very gracious and patient with Mark's excitement and inturuptions 😮
While beneficial in many cases, I was unable to maintain a low carb diet. After 6 months, I could no longer sleep well, unable to handle stress, and developed a hormone imbalance. What also likely contributed to that was I consumed only 1400 calories a day. I was never hungry though and shocked at how little i was eating when i began to track. I feel much better with my daily carbohydrate intake (healthy of course!) at 30%, also making sure to eat high quality protein and fats. As a nutritionist, I believe there is never a one-size-fits-all approach.
You do know, you can get carbs from certain vegetables?
Did you try adding more fats ?
@@livefree3864 I'm sure the nutritionist knows this. Carbs should be complex and coming from fruits and vegetables, not packaged foods if possible.
Keto diet seems to be very effective to overweighted ppl. I am at the thin side, I lost almost 30 pounds after I started keto for 2 months, leaving myself skin and bone, tired and hair loss…
@@recuerdos2457yeah keeping my husband above 130 is a project. Giving him protein shakes currently.
Exelent video. I love both. In the Czech Republic, we have the fifth Minister of Health in 2 years of pandemic. Neither knows what insulin resistance is. My family has low insulin thanks to you. I will be grateful for that within 100 years. Health Šupík Jiří
🇵🇱 🇨🇿 🇸🇰 + Łužyce 💪
USA is almost as bad.
Dr Mark,STOP interrupting PLEASE 🙏🙏
And stop the weird laughing.
Super informative video. Thank you to both drs! Would love to hear a part 2 discussion of the role of stress (and cortisol) in the development of insulin resistance. It’s something we see clinically often in clients with chronic trauma and/or chronic stress
Yessss!
Yes, I would love to hear more about that also. I think that's what has just happened to me after years of reducing my IR.
Wow! I'm in awe! I can listen to these people for days! Thank you so much for sharing your God given blessing with us!
Let the man talk!
I've tried keto 5 months and I lost my period for 4 months, I know there must be something wrong how I did it to match my hormones. However, I still kept believes in low carb diet and so I switched to ketovore and carnivore and I got my period back ever since, and I feeling more energized more ambitious and always in a good mood , also I don't really craved sweets and starchs.... by going through these I realized how important animal fats and protein to my body... ketovore and carnivore diets r much more sustainable to me, I'm on my way to the 6 months extremely low carb diet👍 and still feeling good
Please Mark we would really like to hear more from your guest.
I love Ben Bikman, now I'm a new subscriber b/c I could tell Marks very knowledgeable and passionate, also I like how engaged he is and focused. More doctors should start paying attention, to insulin resistance and recommend the keto/high protein lowest carb diets. Keto and the snake diet fasting, helped me lose 100lbs and counting, I am leaning towards carnivore though and possibly adding some fruits when I finally get to ideal weight. Seeking knowledge, the never-ending story.
Good for you!
This got to be one of the best lectures on insulin resistance and metabolic health! Dont miss it, share.
Thank you both❤
Wow. Just wow. I am so thankful for these two thoughtful caring men.
Just a suggestion , blackboard explaining insulin resistance , fat storage ect.
Would for most that don’t see the whole picture, names ( Bio and Chemical jargon.) ty.
Hi Guys Thanks to both of you I’ve figured out myself that I am no longer pre diabetic but in fact diabetic 😢 I’ve gone Whole Foods, no sugar or standard carbs and having regular exercise and I’m feeling much better. Less thirsty, especially at night and I can control my bladder - such a relief
just start watching from 40:20 There is enough info for any one to do to loose weight and stay healthy. only 5 min and all you have to practice to get better life.
thanks
Thank you so much! 😊
Both of these guys are invaluable experts and I benefited from hearing them both!
Your guests are so fascinating but you drown out all the info w constant laughter and interruptions. I would really love to hear what he has to say
Exercise greatly increases your carbohydrate tolerance by way of glycogen. Post workout I will consume 100gm of sweet potato in my breakfast. Pre meal bg will start at 4.4 mmol. 1 hour postprandial bg never rises above 4.8 mmol. During lockdowns where I haven't exercised, that same amount of carbs can push bg to 5.7mmol.
see Mark smile when he explained sugar and carbs make our body make sat fat, and our bodies make olive oil when we eat sat fat. He was so happy .
This is the best video on the subject that I ever watched ! And God knows I watch a lot of those... Thank you so much Dr Hyman and Dr Bikam
Ong this guy is a god send he actually finally explained why I have pcos. All about my insulin.
Hey Mark, why don't you shut up for a minute so the rest of us can hear your guest answer your questions. Nobody cares if you "jiggle". Are you just so completely in love with the sound of your own voice that you can't stand not hearing it every 15 seconds?
Completely agree. Mark was so annoying.
@@aneeshzutshi3419and the laughing is weird.
Mark plz learn from Chef AJ. She just let's her guests talk, & doesn't interrupt with useless jokes, that break the train of thought. Thx.
Agree host needs to listen without intersections..its rude...but content is gold..thank you
So tell us what exactly to eat.
Love both these men. I wish schools would stop teaching that saturated fat is bad.
3 primary causes of insulin resistance:
1. Elevated Insulin itself - reduce it by time-restricted eating, intermittent fasting, managing micronutrients by reducing carbohydrates ( don't get I from boxes/barcodes) , get it from vegetables and fruits.
2. Elevated stress hormones
3. Elevated inflammatory proteins or cytokines
The elephant in the room as to why the proper testing isn't done for fasting insulin, our practioners only do fasting glucose, as a rule is our insurance companies. It is outrageous - I have been asking our primary doctors to do fasting insulin abd the A1C test for over a year and they refuse to do so. I finally got one primary to admit they only do the A1C test once you have a fasting blood glucose of 130 two times, otherwise insurance won't pay for it. And that is just to get the A1C test - still won't approve the fasting insulin test at that level. Have to climb a mountain to get decent health care in this country. I know I can pay for tests out of my own pocket, but why should I - I already have high premiums. Tragic.
I live in England and we have free healthcare, and they do the same thing here. I half most of the 12 signs of insulin resistance and they will only do an A1C and and a no fasting glucose or insulin. It’s madness. Surely they know that your fasting insulin will show insulin problems long before anything else
That was an amazing meeting of 2 great minds. Thank you.
One of the most informative podcast by far....
Thank You Gentlemen 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I can’t believe how everyone’s complaining about Mark interrupting. The way I see it is he’s directing the flow of the conversation so we get the most information from the allotted time and he’s a master at it. Just my opinion. Mark, I love listening to your podcasts.
All the laughing at his own"jokes" though??
Sounds like Dr. Hyman just wants to hear himself talk. We want to hear what Dr. Bikman has to say without constant interruptions and laughing. Wrh?
It works, on OMAD 5 days a week to start with then x2 meals a perday @ weekends..came off my insulin (dose X2 a day 48 units)
I know one thing with better effects am feeling great! lost in my first week 7lbs.. sugars still higher than when eating excessive carbs on insulin, but am advised it will reduce over 12 weeks, on 20 carbs a day, weekend as well, two meals a day...same time 9am & 5pm..
We are listening so please do NOT interrupt constantly! You Brest concentration!
Amazing conversation. It answered many of my questions. A delightful back-and-forth. It's evident you hold each other in high esteem.
So funny everytime I feel the host interrupts the guest talking consistently and it’s so hard for us to listen to, I always check the comments to see if others make comments about it 😅 HERE YOU GO!!!!!! Maybe talk to the guest first on how you two want to handle this, one person talking all the time or it’s more Q&A session style
30 minutes in and I'm going to have to just stop bc of the interruptions.
Same
I love Mark’s concise metaphors!
They are wonderful to remind us how to live.
great podcast. Dr. Lustig lists 7 sub cellular pathologies , in a TH-cam video, that are 1)glycation2) insulin resistance3)inflammation4)mitochondrial dysfunction5)membrane(intestinal wall)instability6)methylation7)autophagy.
I agree with other commentators that Hyman was interrupting too much. And to be honest he sounds drunk. 😂 could by why he was interrupting so much? Had a bit too much to drink before the interview? 🤣
True. And the laughing was weird.
Always a pleasure to hear you dr Hyman
1 month ago all of my fbc levels were pre T2. Been on 70/20/5 for 26days. From 224.6lb lost 13.2lbs. (1/2 lb/day) Following 25m cycle sun, got my bg to 4.0mmol and keytones 160mg/dL
Interesting, thank you. I did keto diet 10 years ago and lost huge amount of weight after 2 years I put it back on and more. I changed to plant based diet since then and I defiantly eat more vegetables and nuts than fruit. I keep my weight stable and perfect for my body. If I eat fruit in empty stomach I do put weight on. I try to keep my glucose down with eating first salads, nuts and protein then at the end I have couple fruit
You put the weight back on because you abandoned the keto. It doesn't work if you don't follow it. Now you're struggling to keep your glucose down when keto eliminates it.
This is one of my fav episodes maybe because I'm a postdoc in epigenetics. Ben is phenomenal!! Ive been vegan keto with IF for years. Have served me incredibly well but open minded to respond to my health accordingly
Great interview. My one feedback, keep 50% or more of the show on protocols
Finally! Experts talking about the Asian issue. So informative guys. Thank you so much !
Thank you very much for sharing your research and thoughts. Many times one hears what to do without the why. I need the why!
Two of my favorite idols. Love the information you provide. Ben glad your back, I was wondering why you hadn’t posted anything lately. Thanks
Mark you seem so laid back and happy , thanks for the great videos!!
How healthy is sesame oil, peanut oil, walnut oil, coconut oil, grass fed butter, ghee, grapeseed oil, and canola oil.
Butter, ghee are good. coconut oil, ...ok. The rest you mentioned are crap.
I have just come across this conversation. It’s fascinating and all aspects, in particular the fundamental aspects of the metabolic health has been well discussed. I am also surprised that only 200,000 or so viewing so far where I would’ve expected in millions. I realise some people are disturbed with the interruptions by Mark but he is such an enthusiastic podcaster so it did not really bother me personally.
Fruits/ veggies are also full of lectins and oxolates. How does that work with the diet dr. Hyman recommends?
Mark, "I won't interrupt anymore" five seconds later he starts interrupting multiple times while Ben was talking. Marks got good interviews BUT needs to stop interrupting so much and let the person finish.
Thank you for your work and great interview! Will have to research a little bit more to understand better , but overall so interesting!
If I want to get more metabolically healthy which specialists should I look for?
Thank you so much!
Do exercise till the muscle gets fatigued. It will help to control insulin resistance.
Thanks for this, Dr. Hyman--it's endlessly helpful!
Incredible review and discussion regards to understanding how to change a persons health and longevity. Great information on explaining what high insulin does to your bodily metabolism and interactions to other hormones. Really enjoyed!!
You guys need to chill, mark keeps interview light. He explains things well. Example explaining MNR lipo profile. Mark likes to have fun light comments. I watch Internet every day on nutrition. Mark is the most informative dr for average Joe, handsdown
Excellent video. A very informative, educational, and enjoyable conversation.
Thanks so much guys.
