Summary:
In this lecture, Professor Ben Bikman explores the cardiometabolic effects of salt intake, detailing its role in electrolyte balance, fluid regulation, nerve function, muscle contractions, acid-base balance, and nutrient absorption. He explains the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) and its response to low blood pressure or sodium levels, leading to sodium retention and water reabsorption in the kidneys. Dr. Bikman discusses how insulin influences salt handling by stimulating sodium reabsorption and increasing aldosterone production. He warns against the unintended consequences of salt restriction, such as elevated insulin levels and resistance, exacerbating metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular risk.
Shifting focus to fat cells, Dr. Bikman explains how aldosterone and angiotensin II affect fat cell growth and differentiation, promoting lipogenesis, inflammation, and fibrosis. He suggests salt restriction may contribute to obesity and insulin resistance. Discussing potential anti-obesity effects, he mentions angiotensin receptor blockers inhibiting angiotensin II signaling in fat cells.
Dr. Bikman stresses the complex interplay between salt, insulin, and fat cell biology, cautioning against oversimplified dietary recommendations. He encourages critical thinking about salt intake's impact on metabolic health and body composition, advocating for deeper understanding and knowledge sharing to improve health outcomes.

After viewing this episode I am now convinced there will never be a single Dr. B episode that outdoes all of his other work. Because they ALL outdo each other. In 40 years in pharma and bio, I have never seen a more lucid and clarifying video than this one. It is my hall of fame Dr. B video.

I saw a registered Dietician last week. I was curious what advice I might get about lowering inflammation. She admitted that she had to look up my medical issue (IPF) because she had never heard of it. Her only advice about inflammation was to reduce sodium intake. She also repeated the “low fat” trope so prevalent in healthcare. To her credit she did recommend limiting carbohydrates when I brought up my weight loss goal. This interaction reinforced my belief that we really need to take responsibility for educating ourselves about our bodies. I am very grateful for the internet. I was SO ignorant before having that tool.

I was going down the path of Bariatric surgery (which I did not go ahead with-thank God as that was the right decision for me), called roux-en-Y, I saw a dietician. She was hopeless and could only read from the script, was not knowledgeable at all. After this disappointment I decided to research like crazy and after 200 hours plus I decided to do 3 months strict Lion diet (meat only carnivore) and only decide a different course at the 3 month mark. After 6 weeks I was off ALL MEDS! Including weaned off antidepressants for the first time in 11 years. All Metabolic issues were reversed (see photo). That was roughly 9 months after starting and at that time I reduced my weight (secondary consideration) from 154kg to 102kg. Now at 11 months I’m 93kg (6ft, 53 yo male). Thanks to chronic back pain exercise is very difficult, stressful and tiring. In 2011 I fell 8.5m off a ladder was a linesman at the time and had many broken bones to say the least. Life is getting better every day though. Mentally I have regained much resilience. My medical journey has been long. Just wish I could be rid of this lower back pain.

@@gins8781 thank you. The pain is very difficult to deal with but I’m going to try movement therapy. Training correct body movements. Dr David Johnson has a RU-vid channel and you can see in some of the exercises they do, all ages and abilities participate. My fused elbow will make some of these impossible, however I’ll be able to do the others. We’re moving nearby within 6 months and I’m seeing Dr in August (he’s very popular in Brisbane Australia). I’m hoping this might help get the “Multifitus” (lumber spine muscles) going/strengthening again. Search Functional Movement training centre. From my research this is a different approach that few Drs understand. I’ve been searching since 2011 for a solution. After 120 Physio sessions these did not give progress, so I’m hoping this could help. Not medical advice obviously, but perhaps it could help you, doing the exercises you see in the videos at home. I hope you get some relief somehow, I know how hard it is.

@douglashenson4793 16 дней назад

WHAT I GET: High carbs = high insulin. High insulin = sodium retention (direct action of insulin at the kidneys / 15:50). Sodium retention = fluid retention = high blood pressure. Doctor orders low sodium diet to reduce blood pressure. Restricted sodium diet = low sodium = activation of RAAS to retain sodium. Low sodium also activates an increase of insulin (since insulin also drives the kidneys to retain sodium). Activated RAAS increases angiotensin II and aldosterone. Angiotensin II constricts blood vessels. Aldosterone tells the kidneys to retain sodium. At the fat cells, angiotensin II and aldosterone increase the size of fat cells and the number of fat cells. High carb and low sodium BOTH cause an increase of insulin which accelerates the development of insulin resistance / hyperinsulinemia / metabolic syndrome. WHAT I DID NOT GET: How did low sodium cause an increase in insulin? The sympathetic nervous system was mentioned but I do not know. Could it be that aldosterone increasing the size of the fat cells is the part that accelerates the development of metabolic syndrome? That is something Dr. Bikman has discussed before. SUMMARY: If you are going to eat high carb, you are going to have to restrict your sodium, and you are going to be on the expressway to metabolic syndrome and chronic disease.

@sherriballard4781 17 часов назад

Exactly what I have been researching. They say high blood pressure ruins the kidneys, correct but why was the blood pressure high...too much sugar/carbs/insulin...which ruined the kidneys in the first place. They want to lower the BP and ignore the kidneys, dialysis makes them rich. BP meds kill the kidneys. Thank you for your summary! Exactly where my husband is now! BP meds which we hate will soon be gone. We need time to reverse his stage 4 CKD to a 3 or 2 then his BP will come down and he can get off his drugs. We're starting Keto/Carnivore tomorrow. He cant lose anymore weight. Took a week for his statin side effects to go away after 3 weeks on them without permission. He was in the hospital/ rehab for 3 weeks. Sugar and carbs every meal...grrr. He's been craving sugar for a month. In March we did IF, low carb and no sugar except fruit. His brain and muscles need fat protein and cholesterol it get him better!

@@sherriballard4781 Sherri, I am writing something to possibly spark a persons interest in learning Carnivore. It is a work in progress. I have spent a lot of time on RU-vid learning what I think I now know. Most people do not have that time. Here are a few things about evolution and salt. Please comment, I need some feedback. I have written many of these little nuggets. Much of what I have written is not something I have read or heard, but pieced together by many things I have learned. This may not all be 100% correct but in my opinion close enough. Take it for what you will. EVOLUTION I: Does evolution from the past have anything to do with what we should be eating today for optimum health; optimum physical performance; optimum mental performance. OF COURSE IT DOES! The diet WITH WHICH a species evolved and TO WHICH a species evolved is that specie’s proper diet forever. Is there any doubt that we primarily ate animals. We ate fatty red meat and we ate fish. If we ate carbs, then there was no meat. If we ate carbs, our body knew there was something wrong with the availability of meat. It we ate carbs, our body knew we may be facing famine. If we ate carbs, our body stored fat. We did not have to think it. Our hormones made the choice for us. In this case, the hormone insulin. When we ate fatty red meat, we did not store fat. We needed to be lean and strong to hunt animals. It is the same today. When we eat an animal based diet, we do not store fat. When we eat a plant based diet, we store fat. When we ate fatty meat, our body was optimizing our abilities; optimizing our hormones; optimizing our ability to procreate. When we ate carbs, our body shifted from optimizing our mind and body, to optimizing our chance of surviving a famine. In the past, we primarily ate the food that kept us in the optimization mode. Today, we primarily eat the food that places our body in the suboptimal mode, focused on surviving famine. That is not good! EVOLUTION IV: Dr. Bikman says that elevated insulin has a direct action on the kidneys to retain salt. Insulin is elevated when eating plant based. Early humans may have only eaten plant based when there was no meat available. Salt is an essential mineral. Animal meat has salt. Plants do not. So our body evolved to retain sodium when eating plant based. You don’t want to urinate your salt away when you may not replenish it due to famine. This also demonstrates how smart our bodies are, not just our brains but our hormones. SALT II: When you are eating carbs, your insulin eventually remains elevated all the time. Chronically elevated insulin causes your kidneys to retain sodium all the time. In Keto / Carnivore, your insulin is not elevated; your kidneys are not ordered to retain sodium all the time; the normal system (one of the normal systems) for controlling your blood pressure is restored. High blood pressure tells the kidneys to excrete sodium. Low blood pressure tells the kidneys to retain sodium. Salt is excreted or retained as needed to maintain normal blood pressure; no medicine required. Sherri, I was 20.5 years Navy, 8.5 years telephone man, 12 years Registered Nurse. All that multitasking as a nurse was very stressful for me. I worked nights. I snacked tremendously and set many records. My blood pressure ran 140's / 90's. My heart sometimes had PVC's (bad beats). Then I retired and set about getting my health back. I think I first became interested in Carnivore when I saw an interview with K. Hogan. The title was about a woman eating only meat for 13 years. I am sure your husband will regain control of his blood pressure if he stays the course. You should absolutely have a blood pressure cuff and use it at home... and not the wrist cuff! Use the cuff that goes around the upper arm. The wrist cuff is too inaccurate. Right now your husband may be motivated to get off the meds. But once off the meds he may be less motivated. Understanding why Carnivore works may help him then continue on the course. My blood pressure is 130's / 80's. I am satisfied with that but expect it will continue to improve. It took me a while to stop drinking beer and sometimes eating ice cream. Take care.

I'm going to have to watch this a few times to get any grasp on the details. However, the big picture is clear as always. I suspect what Dr. Bikman presented explains the big water dump we go through when we lower our carb intake, or in my case cease the ingestion of carbs. The insulin has dropped and the pathways which were activated are now fading. How absolutely amazing the body is. Thank you Dr. Bikman!!!

@Dwynfal 17 дней назад

I learnt the hard way the importance of salt and other electrolytes when I ended up being taken to hospital by ambulance because of hyponatremia and hypokaliemia, and to a lesser extent being low on all minerals! I was used to low carb and fasting but I had recently started restricting my carbs even more on OMAD. I didn't have any of the usual symptoms but suddenly got a massive headache and a minute or two later I passed out. I was out for nearly 2 hours during which I had seizures and vomited (thankfully it was just before my mealtime so my stomach was empty). 4 days in hospital and now I have to be super careful to maintain proper electrolyte levels or I will be in trouble again! I'm still committed to low carb and fasting, I love this lifestyle and feel better than I have in decades, but that incident sure was scary. Turns out it was a bit of a freak occurrence due the combination of low carb & fasting , high fluid intake and medication with strong diuretic side effects. In other words unlikely to happen to most people!

@Dang_Lin-Wang 17 дней назад

Sounds bloody scary! Glad you were okay! What do you do for electrolytes now to stave off cramps etc? Cheers

@Dwynfal 17 дней назад

@Dang_Lin-Wang It was, especially since I live alone and work independently! My dogs are not very good at calling for an ambulance! 😉 Currently my doctor has switched one of my meds for one without a diuretic effect, I'm cutting down my fluid intake to more reasonable level and I'm taking some electrolytes in tablet form 3 times a day and an almost no carb version in my water. Doc takes blood once a week to see how I'm doing and for now I'm maintaining low-normal values, so we're happy with that. And yes, I do eat a fair bit of salt in my food, but because I drink a lot I lose a lot of it in my urine.

The chemical-physiological homeostasis is so incredibly and amazingly complex with its intertwined and adaptable pathways to effective self maintenance (to a certain limit) it would make actual rocket science a walk in the park. 13:48 Even if this were a short term adjustment, If the kidneys were triggered to pull sodium back to raise a BP below what the body considers too low, wouldn't that add to body weight? Just curious. 19:55 Restricting salt leads to insulin resistance?!! Those with CVD are advised to restrict salt to lower high BP, and now ....so the salt wasn't the culprit after all. Preceding civilizations had fought over their sources of salt before tea and spices became the next trading commodities to battle over. 😅This comes full circle, ha! Finding this the best video in all that I've viewed to date.

Have been carnivore for years but still struggle with some cramping and palpitations. Fasting insulin has been ranging from 1.7 to 2.3. Is this insulin level too low to signal sodium retention? I have experimented with some fruit and honey with positive results but have no desire to consume carbs. Supplementing with more electrolytes without adding carbs doesn’t seem to work. Any thoughts? BTW, I think your videos are fascinating! Retired paramedic, love this stuff.

@scoobydadog246 21 день назад

I would try using sea salt - unrefined, any decent brand. In water - that is how you are meant to get the minerals. Not in a processed powder supplement. Check out Darko Velcek , don’t be turned off if he seems too “out there” in some ways - he knows salt - and he is not selling anything. Our body is constantly excreting sodium and electrolytes, especially when we are getting rid of toxins, so you will always need to replenish, insulin or not. Drinking sea salt water - you are doing this, & won’t need honey & fruit. Good luck!

When I had my fasting insulin blood test done recently the range 2-12 mU/L was 'normal'. I am in Australia so you may need to convert the mU/L accordingly. Google has a calculator to do that.

Absolutely brilliant yet again. Wish I knew this when I was 10. I did see on another YT video that the body regulates salt intake, so (not medical advice obviously) I’m more concerned about not getting enough salts and minerals rather than too much. I’ve had cramping at night (I know, usually magnesium), severe at times and continue to have the odd low blood pressure (generally after standing again post squatting-my Dr saying this is normal-I disagree as I never used to get this). It’s better than it was. Love learning as much as I can. I’m very interested in David Feldmans and Nick Norwitz? work. Truely fascinating. The body is an amazing hyper complex biological “machine.

Dr. Bikman, I have learned so much from your videos. Thank you for the important work that you do. Will using salt in a carnivore diet help with stroke recovery or improve nerve function with MS? I have spinal MS and no brain lesions.

It’s all very interesting. We need to consume adequate amounts of salt. But the most practical question was unanswered. How much salt do you we need for good health? How many grams per day?

Redmond's salt has 10.5 ppm BROMINE, 215 ppm ALUMINUM, 10.6 ppm FLUORIDE plus some heavy elements. I suspect my grocery store refined salt doesn't have that.

Just curious what your carb intake per gram was on daily basis. I am post menopause and need both salt and potassium in every water bottle I drink (60-80oz/day) or I get low electrolyte symptoms. I also work out daily, doing hot yoga, swimming, saunas, etc., so I sweat a lot of electrolytes out.

@Appleblade 13 дней назад

Great talk. I worked next to a physiology professor who one day exclaimed 'You know... it's so easy for the body to excrete excess salt... I just don't understand why salt restriction is advised for hypertension'. He apparently didn't notice the role of insulin and aldosterone. (If I still worked by him... I'd link him ;)

Thank you, Dr Bikman, for another great session! Q: Is there a target amount of sodium we should consume daily to ensure that we get a sufficient amount? I put 1/4 tsp salt in each 16oz glass of water I drink (several glasses per day), so I assume that I’m getting enough sodium but want to be certain.

Curious thought. The SAD diet is quite high in sodium, the boxes and bags of carbs like crackers, cereal, bread have a lot of sodium. This excellent lecture makes a ton of sense for very low carb eaters. I suspect low ‘added’ salt, the salt shaker kind, has less effect on SAD eaters.
