Aging, and the Life of Fat with Dr. Ben Bikman

Dr. Bikman, you make science fun and understandable. Your graduate students are very lucky and blessed. This is my second month of 100% carnivore. I am doing bike sprints to address visceral fat. 73 yo woman, getting younger by the day. G*d bless you.

[@benbikman]

Thanks for your kind comment, Virginia.

[@meatdog]

I'm 72 and feel 30 again being carnivore now 526 days. I have been so incredibly happy with how lean this eating style has made me while losing 100 pounds. I did vegan and it made me fat, increased my arthritis and felt like I was dying quickly. Carnivore turned this around so fast and Dr. Bickman's valuable lectures got this medical providers attention and has been instrumental in my recovery. ❤

There are two things you need to keep in mind about Dr. Bickman. He is a research scientist and therefore knowledgeable as opposed to smart. He also doesn’t really have a lot invested in being an influencer which makes him very influential. Ben is simply following what he is learning.

I recommend that you make a "deal" whenever you appear on another podcast for them to list a link to this podcast. I've watched you many times being interviewed and I was never aware that you had your own. I look forward to learning more from your channel.

[@eutectoid1]

Outstanding presentation - thanks so much

[@meatdog]

For me the most impactful statement came at the end. The study that looked at plastics effect on fat storage...plastic yogurt cups, ie., food containers, excrete chemicals that stimulate and cause their chemicals to increase fat storage, was profound. I knew microplastics were damaging but this aspect of their action really caught my attention. I have made a concerted effort to stop purchasing anything in plastic but dairy products like cottage cheese, sour cream, yogurt do not come in glass with a few exceptions. I will return to making my own such products because I can get the raw ingredients in glass containers. Thank you for discussing this valuable research paper.

[@domagojJugovic]

even if I cook myself and buy meat at butchers it is going to wrap ti in plastic, no escaping

[@meatdog]

My butcher wraps my meats in plain, non coated butcher paper. If I go to a new butcher, I take my own butcher paper just in case. So, yes I can escape plastic.

Thank you, Dr. Bikman! I readily enjoy you as a guest on others' channels. Insulin IQ gives us the opportunity to see your knowledge/lectures in a format where you set the course material. I subbed right away! I always learn something new from your presentations and discussions. Today, it was that visceral fat is more readily burned as fuel over subcutaneous fat. My cheap, inaccurate 😉, electrostatic scale has even calculated the difference in rate change (come to think of it), on my health/fat-loss journey. This lecture also helped solidify my understanding of the differences between hyperplasic and hypertrophic adiposity that you've discussed several times in various videos. Now, onto the next Insulin IQ video on fat burning. Thank you very much!

Fun fact: a healthy woman will often have more testosterone than estradiol in her blood, in terms of mass per volume. Testosterone takes much more material to affect the body than estradiol, and it turns out that a strong estrogen signal achieved with estradiol needs about as much hormone material as a weak androgen signal achieved with testosterone.

Try berberine. It will increase insulin sensitivity , promote ampk and modulate the gut bacteria as well. It also increases glp 1. High dose B1 will aid in atp and methylated b vit complex.

Hi Karen. We have actually created a log of content about this topic. You may want to go to our website and ask my team: www.insuliniq.com

I have been ketogenic for a year, but struggle to lose weight. I eat less than 10-20gms of carbs a day, do intermittent fasting, and fast 3 days every month. I do drink 2 cups of coffee with Kitu creamer 0 carbs - it’s cream with stevia, vanilla, and MCT oil. I was diagnosed pre diabetic with an A1C 6.2 a year ago and have dropped it down to 5.8, but my sugars still run high and I can’t get into ketosis except on fasting days and then only 1.2. My cells won’t let the insulin in to get the glucose out! How can I make my cells less resistant? Is there a detox or supplement I can take or maybe a protocol to improve my sensitivity. I don’t qualify for a CGM, and I am testing 3-4 times a day with a glucometer, and my fingers are bruised! Any suggestions will be appreciated!!

Thanks Prof. Bikman for these amazing lectures. I have a question : in your book you mentioned that too much insulin inhibits aromatase in the ovaries leading to decreased conversion of androgens to oestrogens. At the same time the fat tissue produces Aromatase in both sexes and increases oestrgen level in the circulation ! If inhibited aromatase leads to increase andrgens in females , does it icrease andrgens in the tests? If a woman has more oestrgen in the circulation due to besity , why should she have PCOS and infertility ? Would you please talk about this topic . Thank you.
