The Truth About Insulin Resistance, Fat Loss, & Disease Prevention | Dr. Benjamin Bikman

Without going into details .. Shawn's content is life-changing and life-saving. Thank you Shawn.

So are you saying that fruit is a no-no? It’s a carb and it has natural sugar. So does all fruit spike insulin?

Shawn! You have outdone yourself once again my friend. I did not realize the cytokines and the limit of the fat cell where it has to become insulin resistant or it will burst. This video taught me so much

I follow Dr bickman's podcast, and it just amazes me how every time I hear him speak I learn so much more . What a great conversation gentleman thank you so much, have a beautiful day 😊😊

I can control all the above except sleep. That one discourages me because I've tried literally everything to fix my sleep and haven't been able it to get a good night's sleep for years. Where do they get 8 hrs a night anyway?

In addition to following Dr Bikman's guidelines I use Emtional Freedom Technique (EFT) to address the emotional/psycological components to my health issues.

Amazing information, I purchased the book. Thank you for sharing

Another amazinggggg episode! Thanks to you both!

Amazing chat @shawn stevenson ! Dr. Bikman is always an inspiration to listen to. High level stuff, made so easy to digest.

kangaroo has no fat on it when eating it

Thank you, Dr. Bikman, for your generosity and passion in sharing your knowledge about metabolism and nutrition. All info in this video and many of your videos are truly empowering. I pray that more people will be able to listen to your lectures and interviews.

What is the title of the book.

Extreme stress has been my health's undoing over the last 18 months. Thankfully, I have a good handle on sleep hygiene and regular sleep- but from the time I go to bed to the moment I wake up, I've been stuck in survival mode thanks to financial stress and some other unfortunate stressors beyond my control. It's been really hard to manage enough self care to knock all of that down thanks to how extreme it's been. Sigh- gained 30 lbs and it's been inflammation city, yet I was in pretty peak health before this, with autoimmune stuff in remission and feeling great.

Be blessed & ask Father yo touch & bless your body & mind for your time inhibits your complete sleep necessity & believe, know you have it & give thanks w gratitude. Same for ppl working 3rd shift & ithers doin the work of Christ Yahushua! To Him be all Praise for His Majesty & Love. Hes Wonderful Beautiful & Most Worthy of Praise!

What a great interview. Thank you Shawn and Dr. Bikman. I recently found this amazing Dr. about 2 months ago. Was familiar with Dr. Fungs work but what Dr. Bikman does different is he really breaks it down to the WHY for the laymen. Coming from the calories in/calories out ideology I really needed to know the why so I understand the process I am looking for. Keto/Carnivore is what seems to be the magic bullet. So playing with those macros, giving up alcohol completely, and eating 90 percent sardines, salmon, and chicken thighs, down 30 pounds in a month an it was effortless. I walk 10,000 steps a day (that started as a competition at my job) Its been over for awhile but I just kept going. I love audible so I bought and listened to "Why We Get Sick" during my walks. Took a week to finish and I feel much more knowledgeable now.

Very informative. Thank you 🙏

Dercum’s Disease = renegade fat cells.

It is NOT lifelong. If these people would change their eating habits while on MJ like myself, can get off of it. My A1C was 7.5 in Oct 2023 it was 5.4 2 months ago & km down 90 lbs. I only take 5.0mg every other week now. I plan to get off of it when I get to goal weight (30 more to go) also when you eat keto or carnivore on MJ guess what?? NO side effects!

I wish someone could explain how I became diagnosed as diabetic without being overweight or elevated levels of insulin.

Man looks 80, his voice sounds 17😂

Is it possible to lower you insulin while in the same time your blood glucose is still high?

Great info that makes so much sense. Type 2 since 2019. This drives home the importance for me to do keto/carnivore even more. Thank you!Thank you!

What if you exercise first and eat afterwards?

Lack of Sleep is a Major factor. Make your cortisol sky rocket and you feel hungry every minute.

My problem is carb addiction...so much so that I'm believing it's somehow genetic. I have to really focus and continually remind myself to NOT eat those sugary foods. Sometimes I find myself ignoring myself and eating it anyway. I've cut way back, but it's extremely difficult for me to eliminate them completely.

My A!C is 5.6. That is prediabetes. i went to a functional medicine doctor and my levels were off the chart. i have a stressful job that has increased my stress and decrease hours of sleep. My diet is vegan, plant based, low carbohydrate mostly 80% raw. My high stress level is driving up my A1C. More lifestyle changes to come for me even I have to quite my job. This is a no brainer. I refuse to be a diabetic. Nothing in this world is worth my health. I appreciate this video.

The fastest way to get to sleep is to eat a small 100 calorie baked or microwaved potato, no salt, or butter about 1 hour maybe 2 before bed. I have a good sleep whenever I do this.

Is the book available on Audible? I can’t find it.

Dude, why are you talking so much? Nobody wants to hear you talk. Just empty babble.

I’m having a metabolic panel done at my doctors appointment next week; fasted labs. If I ask for an insulin level to be drawn, what is a normal range for fasted insulin levels?

I noticed when i dont get proper sleep, I crave more of bad food

I have learnt so much today, I want to do my fasting insulin this week for the first time I do suspect I am insulin resistant
My question is what happens when I have Lipodema which has been my problem since my teens I am now 64 years and have never had any breakthrough in resolving Lipodems, can a low carb way of eating assist?

You know, until recently I hadn't realized that Mario updated his favorite way to tackle ED and it's a relief! Although what he previously suggested was pretty good, it was a real pain to follow... I just go'ogled the latest by Mario Volpstein, it's so much easier and potent now!

What does insulin do to the fat cell?

Does a vibration plate have the same effects as shivering?

Been trying to fix my sleep for ovr 2 yrs. Fall asleep super easy.....staying asleep more than 4 hrs is impossible.

I have less than desirable sleep and self inflicted stress. Would that lead to a 5.7 A1c? I eat low carb/keto, fast 17/7 and exercise already

I've had sleep issues due to long term chronic pain... diabetic, currently diet + Jardiance controlled to A1C of 6.3. I am LCHF & Carno with lapses... How quickly does insulin resistance rebound after bouts of carb intake or stress crisis?

Binge watching dr Shawn interviews last few weeks. Incredible info!❤

Epic discussion! Subscribed 👍

Great episode 💥. Thank you Shawn for this great show with Dr Ben Bikman !!! 👏👏👏❤️

Although I'm carnivore and can't use the recipes, I'm still going to buy the book for the exercises and teachings.

Eminem interviewing Ben Bikman?? Novel!! ❤🎉❤🎉

Eat whole grains and you don't need to care about insuline at all! Maybe someday, the civilization will understand this "magic" about whole grains. All the research still throws carbs into one basket, such a nonsense.

I am absolutely astounded: I just went to the Diabetes Canada website, and they have this written under "Causes of diabetes". They say, and I quote word for word...."End the myths and misinformation. Despite popular believe, diabetes is not caused by eating too much sugar, and people don't "give themselves" diabetes. Popular media often depicts disease and people with diabetes in an inaccurate and harmful light". DUH? Yes, this is November 2024 and this is still the official party line. Is it any wonder that people don't trust their health care providers any more?

I bet a leaky gut is also a big driver of inflammation as well. Fixing that might have a profound effect on insulin resistance if combined with proper nutrition and good sleep.

Phenomenal. Thank you gentlemen.

I love Dr. Bilman’s clear teachings!❤

Ben, you say you’re a great teacher but not a coach, but you ARE. Your upbeat and absolute enthusiasm for sharing important metabolic research is inspiring, informative, influential and coercive in the best way. Appreciation also to Shawn, the hippest pied piper of urban health influencers, for bringing this important episode to us.💫🌞✌🏻
