Dr Benjamin Bikman - How insulin resistance interacts with metabolic health  

Dr. Bikman is an absolute Godsend! He has helped me to understand the biochemistry of metabolic dysfunction and how to steer my body into healthy territory. Fantastic lecture, I will be forwarding this to many people.

Give the good man a wireless mouse. :D

My favorite presenter in the metabolic space! I listen to everything I can from him. Dr. Bikman, if I lived near you, I would take your class!!!

Professor Bikman also looks the part. He looks in shape.

I’m T1D and my sole objective with this condition is to minimise my insulin while maintaining a ‘normal’ HbA1C…. I never eat carbs…. Eat modest amounts of dairy and eat loads of beef….

0:54: 🌱 The speaker discusses the common root cause of chronic diseases and suggests addressing it to prevent their recurrence. 5:30: 💡 Insulin resistance is linked to hypertension, heart disease, and certain forms of cancer. 10:15: 💡 Skin tags and acanthosis nigricans are strong evidence of a metabolic problem, likely insulin resistance. 15:38: 📚 The video discusses how cells can become less responsive to insulin over time, leading to various consequences. 20:46: 📊 Insulin and glucose are often linked together, but measuring insulin levels can be important in certain cases. 25:55: 👂 The speaker discusses how his wife has become deaf to the noise of their children due to being around them all the time. 31:01: 🧬 Metformin acts as a mitochondrial poison by blocking the electron transport system, which can lead to consequences in the muscle and compromise its function. 35:48: ❌ There is no clinical benefit to lowering glucose in type 2 diabetes with elevating insulin. 40:38: 🍽 Managing macronutrients through the food we eat is key to lowering insulin levels and addressing hyperinsulinemia. 45:48: 🥦 Focusing on whole fruits and vegetables as primary sources of carbohydrates can help mitigate glucose absorption and insulin spikes. 50:25: 🩺 C-peptide is a useful marker to determine if a type 2 diabetic patient can stop insulin therapy and transition to a dietary regime. Recap by Tammy AI

Always a fantastic presenter. Having someone else controlling the slides was slightly distracting but Dr Bikman knew them cold, so just power through that challenge as it is worth it. I wish every professor was as knowledgeable and concise. Dr. Bikman is my go to for ketogenesis, blood sugar and insulin. Now we just need to educate the medical profession. My internist does not appear to know any of this. It is unconscionable.

Always a pleasure to see Benjamin Bikman talks 👌

Hopefully many doctors start listening to this

Professor thank you for sharing this information from Johannesburg South Africa 🇿🇦

Dr. Bikman and Dr. Jamnades are my two favorite health professionals on YT

Superb! Sent to all my friends curious of keto/low carb!

Great presentation! Thank you Dr. Bikman!

2:17. What I find interesting right off the bat is this slide shows all of the markers for metabolic syndrome and LDL is not listed - this tells me right away that this fellow probably gets it.

Powerful , easy for me to interpret. Thank you.

This is the best presentation I have ever heard.

I love Dr Bikman's message! Thank you

This was excellent. Best video I've seen on insulin resistance.

Wow.. An awesome presentation.. This professor is a the top of his game!

WOW SO literary the last 3 minutes he explained WHY a diff doctor... Dr Shawn Omara is ALWAYS talking about how fermented veggies and or fruits are so GOOD for you .. short chained fatty acids including vinegar. Who knew. NOT i, that vinegar is a fat. I've learned so MUCH from you Bikman it's ridiculous. Oh I'm no clinician... but i work for them ..

Excellent lecture, thank you so much from Australia.

One hell of a good talk. Shared!

Thankyou D Bikman. I note so few in the auditorium. Seems just like parliament. When any thing worth anything i.e truth is said the seats seem to be empty

This was a great explanation. Very easy to understand.

Develop muscle mass and strength and you'll see an increase in insulin sensitivity...eat more protein and avoid ultra processed food and you'll see a huge difference

Excellent presentation!! Thanks for the information!!

Dr lustig mentioned the glucose being normal but insulin being sky high. Or could be. I was pre-diabetic by my own analysis. One year apart from major diet changes. Fasting glucose was IDENTICAL. LCHF OMAD. Thank you all and digging into the science and what matters. I'll check again soon. I bet it's finally improved too. Maybe not. But will order the fasting insulin this next time too.

What a fantastic presentation! This is so incredibly useful and informative and easy to understand. This research is helping to transform lives - not least mine as I'm studying nutrition and hope to help many others improve their health through diet and lifestyle changes. Thank you Dr. Ben Bikman for your stellar work in this area and thank you PHCUK for organising and making this information accessible to everyone.

It would be nice to make gov. scientist/ AHA and ADA and FDA tell the truth

💚👍 Brilliant lecture, Professor👍 education par excellence Great visuals

Thank you.

I can’t get enough of your lectures. ❤ Thank you for all you do.

Really enjoyed this

I love both Ben and Sam!!! Amazing synergy of two inspirational people.

So very well presented.

At the end wow, I didn't know that acetic acid is a (very) short chain fatty acid. That explains people advocating for cider vinegar, which up to now I've dismissed as having zero use. Of course, that doesn't quite explain why acetic acid from apples would be better than acetic acid from other sources... a question of taste?

Does anyone know weather Berberine in a similar way to Metformin , ie does it poison the mitochondria?

Absolutamente fascinante. Gratidão imensa pelo seu saber e por me ter ensinado imenso.

Fantastic.

Great talk!

superb!

@13:15 time mark is said "you cannot lose fat if insulin is LOW"... I guess that was a mistake in a speech and the correct would be "you cannot lose fat if insulin is HIGH"? Please, respond to make this clear. Thank you

Excellent presentation. Thank you.

I FINALLY understand Metabolic Syndrome(Insulin Resistance) and how it is happening and what to do to help myself. Thank you!

Thanks!

Damn, never seen Ben standing, he is jacked!

The problem is genetically modified wheat etc. People in the old days ate lots of carbs. We eat Monsanto poison. 😮

Awesome lecture!

Thank you for the helpful talk 35:00 note 39:50 cancer and 40:39 results. 47:30 fear not fat. what about the people 49:34 that don't have gallbladder ?

Wonderful talk! One of the hardest things to make my loved one understand is that all systems in the body are related

Thanks

question: how many times will i watch this video before i have it memorized. . .?

Top research these guys are doing for the world thanks from new Zealand

Great presentation. Concise and very informative. Answered most of my questions about insulin resistance. I have a question though-can one have primary pre hypertension and also be insulin sensitive? I am insulin sensitive judging by my HOMA-IR of 1.5 but I have pre hypertension.

I have PCOS and IR. Thank you for this great information. I don’t say that I have “Metabolic Syndrome”. I say that I have an endocrine disorder that could become Diabetes if I don’t keep it under control. I inherited PCOS from my maternal line. It’s not fun. :(

What are your thoughts on addressing insulin resistance via ketogenic diet?

Pre-changes (pre-diabetic) for me. i peeing no less than 8-10 times a day. Post changes around 4 or less. Thanks for the info

Well done doctor another gem

I wish this was a CEU

Loved this clear explanation of insulin desensitization over time in the human body. One question: Is it possible that Metformin is causing mitochondrial uncoupling? If this were the case, then it might be a disservice to characterize Metformin's effect on the electron transport chain as poisoning. Perhaps it is an example of hormesis?

It was a good and useful lecture.

Doc, you should add hair fall issues in skin problems as well

As with everything related to high level of noise. Silence is the answer. AKA Fasting.

DON'T YOU KNOW -- As you are So Educated, AND, THIS Presentation IS SO GREAT, EXCEEDINGLY INFORMATIVE -- that your "next Next NEXT NEXT NEXT Next Next Next next ....." are UNCOMMONLY DISTRACTING !!!!!???

For measuring insulin resistance on your own: 1. hire a CGM meter and check if your insulin drops half an hour after eating a lot of carbs. 2. Test yourself! Dump nearly the carbs for one month and see what happens, did you loose weight, belly fat, improve body composition, feel better after a meal etc?

Great presentation but one suggestion. Using voice to switch slides is just a really distracting way to do it. Just use a button.

Ben is great. Insulin resistance is just a diagnostic concept, not a disease. It is actually a healthy response to excess glucose. When it is chronic it becomes a serious problem and leads to diabetes2.

39:50 cancer 40:40 diseases 41:25 food 44:42 glucose is diabetic struggle to manage; 44:57 3 pillars: control carb, eat animal protein, eat natural fat come with protein. 47:33 fasting, conclusion

❤❤❤

Amazing conference ❤ What is the dietary solution for people who got their gallbladder removed? I know a few who ended up having huge problems with fat digestion. Are they doomed to no longer be able to be on a high fat low carb diet? As surgeons tell these people just to reduce the fat intake. But isn’t this pushing them to eat lots of carbs?

So what does one do with drug induced type2? My wife has to take Prednisone for inflammation for a significant lung condition. At 5'5", she weighs 100#, and we eat exceptionally nutritiously in the manner described here. Yet blood sugar is very much an issue because of the steroid. Thoughts?

Can one eat veggies tho as l hear all carbs spike sugar .. what foods are best?

What is 36pmol insulin to us measurements . My fasting insulin was 2.2 us measurements

Thank you for giving me the confirmation bias I crave as much as I do bacon!

😍

GPs only request a standard lipid profile and then prescribe a statin. I'm 60 and never had a doctor ask what I eat or if I exercise. Must get the profit motive out of medicine!

I love Dr. Bikman's talks and find them fascinating ... that kid on his phone in the front row is annoying me! :D

Wondering what your thoughts are about Bart Kay send that insulin resistance is a construct. (An idea or theory containing various conceptual elements, typically one considered to be subjective and not based on empirical evidence.)

Hi this is Dr Hari from India, had noticed a strange phenomenon. During fasting state the glucose levels are around 70 mg/dl and soon after taking low carb diet the glucose levels are raising to 130 mg/dl and remaining high for the rest of the day. Any comments on this . How can I personally contact you.

Ben, having followed you very many ears, you are among the brightest minds to solve this puzzle of un-illness. Therefore I urge you to make the connection between water EMF radiation, melanin, POMC and the leptin melano cortin pathway. I am a solid state semiconductor research scientist. Is Jack Kruse after something entirely significant. To me it seems that is the case. Still working to get the insulin connection and it might just be leptin.

49:15. One of the static ways to determine insulin resistance is triglycerides:HDL. What is the ratio for this? I’m assuming you want low triglycerides and high HDL, but at what ratio is bad? Good? Better? Best?

Excellent lecture

Please could someone let me know if a total cholesterol result of 363 is a problem to my health? I am in the uk so I multiplied my uk score of 9.4mmol/L by 38.66 All my other blood results look good

What about berberine?

Beef /eggs/ fatty fish have the Fats, protein and nutrients referred to here.

How frustrating!!!!!!! Such a good man and this voice should be heard by everyone! So unfortunate that the sound is rubbish!!!! Who is collaborating and involved in sound! It is so important in this kind of collab!! Come on and give the good man a clicker!!! Ben changes lives! Thanks for your time Prof Bickman!!

Just wondering how the narrative has changed over the very first statements on insulin resistance up to the present. has it flipped 360° already?

Great presentation but condense the slides and please let the man run his own PowerPoint. That was really distracting.

Share this video with your GP

For god sakes, get the guy a wireless remote

RU-vid is not only forcing commercial ads, but also forcing subversive, crime-advocating content on viewers, and preventing the blockage of such objectionable content. RU-vid is now supporting and disseminating fascism.

These therapies leading to worse insulin resistance is just running out the clock. These patients don’t understand their health is not being improved, their condition is just being exacerbated until complications kill them.

The Glucose Revolution details eating veggies/salad, protein and then carbs in that order to control insulin spikes.

Funny how all the decent, normal, credible, diet youtubers are on the low carb end of the spectrum
