Wow, that was superb. BB is a global treasure. This channel will save more lives than any pharmaceutical interventions. Control the carbs, is a great closing comment.
It occurs to me as I'm listening to this, a research scientist like Ben can devote thousands of hours to study ONE topic, while a medical student spends hundreds of hours studying thousands of topics !! No wonder they aren't proficient on anything out of their practice! They don't have the background that thirty years of on hands experience can afford an older doctor. Not to mention that more than half of what they were taught is wrong, but, it won't be found out AND ACKNOWLEDGED by medical eminence in their lifetime! Listeners are learning more from this type of video than the docs can learn at continuing ed seminars. But if we ignore their advice, WE are noncompliant patients. And NO help from insurance companies! They just wait for someone to get tagged with an uninformed diagnosis , so they can raise your rates and you can't switch to lower rate company!
FINALLY, my search is over. Ben thank you so much for your scientific knowledge, and yet explaining each subject in sinple terms where we can understand and utilize the info..
Every time I listen to BB, he’s blows my mind! I’ve never seen a person with as much knowledge as he has with regard to the physiology of the human body.
I just wanted to thank you Dr. Bikman for explaining quite complicated physiology in a way I can not only follow with my non-scientist brain, but enjoy the ride :) My body is one of those "talented" machines that is awesome in hyperplastic adipose growth, looking back on way over 600 lbs (now at a normal-ish weight but still struggeling with lipedema). Thanks to your work I learn about my fatcells every day and feel less "pitty" or like a "failure" that even with carnivore and fasting the nagging lipedema pain does not disappear, but maybe that takes another 10 years of work or so :)
Wow, so enlightening. I should have known this when I was raising my children. Now they are adults , it is going to be a challenge to educate them and reverse all my errors. But I can use this knowledge for myself and share to anyone who has ears to hear. Thank you.

Dietary fat enters the blood in two forms, glycerides (mono, di and tri) and free fatty acids. Pancreatic lipase cleaves triglycerides into free fatty acids and glycerin which is a simple carbohydrate. Absorbed fats are carried as chylomicrons which are the largest lipoprotein cholesterol particles. After unloading of fats in the body, the chylomicrons are reduced in size then called LDL-Cholesterol which will be picked up by the liver to be recycled. This LDL is large and not harmful, in contrast to that synthesized by the liver and packaged as VLDL. After off loading of triglycerides VLDL is shrunken to form a denser and harmful LDL.
What about liposuction for lipedema fat and possible effects on metabolism? Many women have become disabled because of the effects of that disorder and find liposuction increases their mobility.
hi , one of the women that I help to loose weight was about 396 lb , in one year she lost more then half of her weight by just eating a bit less, so that means that she has alot of fat sell and thus her fat is insulin sensitive allowed her to lose weight in between meals , unlike would be in a person with a few fat sells and insulin resistance , right ?
What's your thoughts on the theory of purposefully making fat cells insulin resistant to lose weight? Also, do you have any insights regarding fat cell circadian rhythms?
Hi Dr. Bikman, thank you for these metabolic classroom sessions. They are so helpful. I was wondering about why BMI and waist circumference standards for Asians are lower than other populations, meaning an Asian has to have a lower BMI and a lower waist circumference compared to other ethnicities to be regarded as healthy or as having less risk for various metabolic diseases. Could it be that Asians have a genetic inclination to have fewer fat cells and less likelihood for their fat cells to go through hyperplasia? Or is it more of an environmental factor affecting these things?
Can you talk about Lipedema fats? How do we stop or reverse or prevent fats that have nodules or granules? Why do we develop Lipedema fats? Is it healthy to get Lipedema fats manually removed via lipo because it’s not healthy fats?
I thought hyperplasia is through cell division. Others said it is through differentiation of stem cells in the adipose tissue. You said more fat cells move in. How and where? It's amazing people are sticking up their thumbs and never ask an intellectual question.
