Sarcopenic Obesity with Dr. Ben Bikman

Professor Ben Bikman discusses sarcopenic obesity, a condition involving obesity and muscle loss. This condition results from factors like sedentary lifestyles, aging, and metabolic disturbances. While obesity is common, sarcopenia typically affects the elderly, diseased, or very sedentary individuals. The combination of excessive fat and muscle loss makes sarcopenic obesity particularly challenging.
Dr. Bikman explains the crucial role of muscle in blood glucose regulation. Muscle mass reduction impairs glucose control, leading to higher blood sugar levels and increased insulin resistance. Even a short period of bedrest can significantly reduce muscle mass and insulin sensitivity. Inflammation from enlarged fat cells also contributes to muscle loss and insulin resistance, creating a vicious cycle.
Insulin resistance and sarcopenic obesity can both cause and result from each other. Insulin resistance impairs muscle protein synthesis and promotes fat cell growth, leading to further insulin resistance. Reduced muscle mass and increased fat cell size negatively impact metabolic health. Bikman stresses the importance of diet in managing sarcopenic obesity, advocating for a low-insulin diet by controlling carbs, prioritizing protein, and not fearing fats.
To combat sarcopenic obesity, Dr. Bikman recommends proper nutrition and resistance training. Reducing insulin levels helps preserve muscle mass and promote fat loss. Resistance exercise is more effective than aerobic exercise for improving metabolic health. Consistent exercise and a controlled diet can help individuals manage or prevent sarcopenic obesity and improve metabolic health.

I've seen many people say you can improve diabetes without exercise. After 16 months of PHD and no good results this may be my answer, Ozempic and Sarcopenia. I've done plenty of walking, two to three miles a day but nothing to build muscle. Time to join a gym.

@suzannewhitaker3507 3 месяца назад

I think they might say "you don't have to exercise" so that very fat people who might be discouraged to even start changing their way of eating while they can scarcely move about, can take heart. The fat person can lose weight until they are better able to move, when they can start to exercise.

Question for Dr Bikman: Excellent lesson as always. I am still unclear on what officially constitutes obese. Is it a body fat % if so what is that? 30% by DXA is very different from 30% by calipers. I have a close friend who is not diagnosed as sarcopenic but qualifies as skinny fat-which seems to be the same thing to me. Shes 30% fat by dxa but almost “underweight” by bmi etc. i got her to measure her insulin at last bloodwork and it came back as 2.0 so shes not hyperinsulinemic. We were talking about our parents aging and muscle loss etc so were both pushing to build more muscle in our 50s but i wonder how much i should suggest she take the fat mass seriously. Can anyone point me to benchmarks for obesity or sarcopenia (muscle mass per height?). There are plenty of charts from who knows who floating around, im having trouble finding a solid science-based resource to point her to … “for reference for her mother”. She’s a smart one, she’ll figure it out for herself. I just dont want to perpetuate bad info.

Why are young college men researched and not young college women? Women might have a different response. As a researcher, wouldn’t you want to know what the other half of the population are doing? For example, it was traditional for women to be on bedrest for several weeks to heal after childbirth. How do they compare to young college men? Dr Ben Bikman talked about male hormones only. What impact do female hormones have on healthy young women and what fate awaits menopausal women whose ovaries have shrivelled?

@onlyonecai 3 месяца назад

I think the answer should be straightforward, because too much energy in the body is toxic - lipotoxicity. Our bodies are well evolved to regulate that. This is with the correct diet of course. Diets with carbs send signals for incoming hard times / winters, and our bodies switch into the storage mode. However, since we are currently pretty much stuck in this "storage mode", not "wasting" is wrongly regarded as the norm

@HuFlungDung2 3 месяца назад

Having just read the book "Dark Calories" by Catherine Shanahan, her theory is the effect of PUFA seed oil which tends to poison the mitochondria, forcing a tendency to favor glucose metabolism. So the effect of dieting is lowering the blood sugar, making the body (with poor metabolism) break down protein to make sugar to get the blood sugar back up, because the brain is forcing this signal by the effects of cortisol and adrenaline. The real catch 22 is the low blood sugar effect forces sarcopenia because the fat cells are all metabolically sick and cannot use fat energy, so stress hormones take precedence over insulin, and you have this battle between the brain and the pancreas, known now as insulin resistance.

@tonynoonan3723 3 месяца назад

PUFAs are indeed toxic. Insulin Resistance is Physiological. It is absolutely essential when the cell is replete with fatty acids and glucose,if the entry of substrate is unlimited the cell would die !! Insulin docks on the insulin receptor,if the cell is replete,the cell will send a signal which blocks the activity of the insulin and thus prevents further substate from entering and killing the cell !!!!!.It is more complicated bt thats the essence of IR. Gradually lowering CHOs and increasing fat and protein ( ideally from animal sources) so the body switches to a fat burning model,up regulating lipolysis, is the key.Then lower blood glucose and Insulin is not a problem,it becomes a big advantage for those who are obese. Dieting is indeed dangerous and should be avoided.

Why is it so easy to lose muscle? Bed rest is good when one is sick.

@raquel5401 2 месяца назад

rest is good, not necessarily bedrest, and you can still eat more protein, or bone broth to help- patients in the icu have major muscle loss because they are on a glucose drip- nowhere near enough protein- my father was there for 3 months and lost 80 lbs of muscle mass- he was eventually discharged but died 6 months later because he wasn't strong enough to survive a surgery he needed

Thank you Dr Bickman.

While this is very good and everyone should watch it, I cannot help but wonder if this is too insulin-centric and ignores other factors. But perhaps that is beyond the scope of the primary aim of the 30 minute chat.

If fat being starved of blood supply contributes to sarcopenic obesity, I bet angiogenesis promoting drugs like BPC-157 could help.

@diablominero 3 месяца назад

Going on high-protein keto would probably help maintain muscle while losing fat. But there are good drugs for that too; it's just that WADA doesn't want us to have them.

How does this effect those with hypoglycemia? I feel like after 50 I can't control anything anymore no matter how good I eat..

I have to say your book on insulin resistance was great (Why We Get Sick), I knew a fair share going in and I still learned quite a bit. Highly recommended.

Ben, love the science your vocab makes Miss Crabtree’s heart sing! Few use “myriad” correctly.

Would adding a good protein and amino acid especially branch chain amino acid. Would that effect insulin resistance.

I know a lady who has been told she has sarcopenia. But she walks for miles every day. She told me she had a history of dieting you. But her Gp takes no interest in what she eats. Just walk he says.

@raquel5401 2 месяца назад

then she needs a lot more protein, if you don't have the building blocks, you can't make the muscle

Is 'going to the gym' necessary? I found myself too weak to get out of the bath... now I do pushups and squats while waiting for the jug to boil or coffee to finish. Resistance bands looped onto door handle while watching the news....leg stretches while talking on speaker phone. There are endless ways every day to change your body composition. I'm 74, it's never too late. 🙂
