I've watched videos BY and WITH Dr. Ede for the last 2+ yrs (of my being on carnivore regimen) but this one for some reason, for my particular experience, may well be among her top 5 interviews/videos/etc. This is the one I want to send to everyone in my life. She explains things so basically and so well that for me, the most stubborn people in my life, who won't give up carbs, etc., are going to get this link today!!! I've learned so much from her and I totally enjoy her wit ... how she uses it to make a point ("Food is king; exercise is queen"). Nick Carrier is a great interviewer and asks fantastic questions. He came prepared and is not making it up as he goes along. So between the 2 of them they build a beautiful thread of science, anecdote (such as about her 90 yr old mother), lay-person language, humor, etc. Great dialogue.

Interested, Georgia says fasting insulin should be 10 or less. Professor Bikman says it should be 6 or less.

[@carrier_bestyou]

The lower the better.

I thought the first question that the interviewer asked was interesting..What three foods you recommend..and the answer was ‘protein’. I think there is very good evidence to include coconut oil. See dr Mary Newport. Its easy to make coconut bites..melt half a jar of coconut oil, turn off the heat..and if you want to add a bit of protein, add a scoop of protein powder, whisk it in. Then pour into a container ( I use a silicon one).. put in fridge for about an hour. De- mould..cut into little squares and then bag. Should last a week..I’m aware this sounds mad..but it’s a great building fuel to make ketones for the brain. This helps with the glucose’ brain fuel deficit’. There is nothing to lose to try this and a great deal to gain

[@carrier_bestyou]

Absolutely!

[@draymond5067]

Try MCT oil

[@pallavisreetambraparni6995]

Mediterranean diet or Asian diet. That's why Greeks, Italians and Japanese live longer. There are people in these cultures who have lived up to 100 or even past 100 without diabetes, cancer, alziemer's, dementia etc

OLIVE OIL

[@carrier_bestyou]

Good stuff!

[@x.y.7385]

I understand what was said here but still do not understand insulin resistance. What is the cause for organs eventually rejecting insulin just because there is so much ? I kind of picture it here as insulin being an annoying co-worker or neighbor who corners you and drones on and on until you stop listening and zone out 🤣

[@richardbragstad2381]

Diabetics who have to inject Insulin, need to increase the dose over time, because their bodies become more resistant to Insulin.

[@chipcook5346]

Who would have guessed that beef and cabbage -- the Irish Diet -- is the most healthy?

[@carrier_bestyou]

Indeed!

[@neilbush9873]

My dad knew this over 50 years ago but his angle was they also ate more dairy food than England scotland and Wales... it fits the emerging knowledge.😊😊😊😊
