HOW TO REVERSE INSULIN RESISTANCE | WHY WE GET SICK WITH DR. BENJAMIN BIKMAN

Meet Dr. Benjamin Bikman, author of Why We Get Sick. In this interview we talk about all things insulin resistance! Signs, symptoms, testing, how it’s linked to type 2 diabetes, heart disease, dementia, and more. Dr. Bikman shares information from his book on how to prevent and reverse insulin resistance for sustainable weight loss and disease prevention.
If you have high blood sugar, high blood pressure, or excess weight, this episode is for you. 8-9/10 people tuning in have insulin resistance. For such a common condition, I’m always shocked that so few people even know it exists.
Insulin resistance is at ground zero for weight gain, diabetes, heart disease, and so much more. Dr. Bikman has his Ph.D. in Bioenergetics. As a professor at Brigham Young University and the director of its Diabetes Research Lab, Dr. Bikman studies insulin, including its role as a regulator of human metabolism, as well as insulin’s relevance in chronic disease.
Chronic dieting will not work for sustainable weight loss. The only way to lose weight, keep it off, and prevent disease is to live a low insulin lifestyle. I know that may sound strange to you, but it's true.
When "How will this affect my insulin" becomes your new litmus test instead of, "How many points or calories does this have," weight loss clicks into gear!
Highlights From This Episode:
- What is insulin resistance?
- What causes insulin resistance?
- What diseases are caused by insulin resistance?
- How can we prevent insulin resistance?
- How can we reverse insulin resistance?
Note: Reshape Physical Therapy and Wellness evolved into Weight Loss for Health, and finally Zivli. How to Lose Weight After 50 was our first course that eventually grew into Zivli. Some old blog posts or resources mentioned in this episode may have been removed.

Using insulin to manage blood glucose is like digging a water line with dynamite. Severe COVID treatment made me an insulin dependent type 2 diabetic in one day (steroid induced diabetes). After two years of injecting insulin four times a day and multiple low glucose issues, an endocrinologist got me off of insulin injections using other drugs. He also started me using a Dexcom continuous glucose monitor which turned out to be the most important change. The fast feedback from the monitor makes it very clear what foods I should not eat.

But if you are type two you don’t have to stop there … you can go keto and get off all diabetes meds I had a a1c of 14.4 when my docs (who don’t know what better because that’s what they were taught in medical school ) told me I HAD to start eating 45 grams of carbs at each meal and shooting insulin … I refused .. walked out and lived on eggs , canned tuna and oysters , chicken breast and big green leafy salads … type 2 diabetes reversed.. JUST MAKE SURE YOU WORK WITH YOUR DOCTOR AND TELL HIM WHAT YOUR PLANNING ON DOING or your going to get dangerous lows ….and don’t ask him .. TELL HIM .. it’s your body and your health NOT HIS

Every time I mention insulin resistance to anyone, they look at me as though I've just begun speaking chinese., a fairly simple concept that is still being either suppressed or looked at as an insignificant aspect to health!.... its AMAZING how long someone can have insulin resistance before their glucose rises to a "worrisome" level.......... and all the while, all those years your insulin was being driven out of control as your doctor gave you a thumbs up on your way out of the freekin door!

[@drmorgannolte]

It's a matter of what is being taught in schools. Health classes in high school are based on govt rec's that are not as evidence-based as they should be. I would dare to guess that most higher educational programs are only now starting to incorporate lifestyle medicine into their curriculum. For example, my alma mater the University of Nebraska Medical Center invited me to do a 2-hour lecture for physical therapy students on obesity. They are really getting a lecture on insulin resistance. It's a matter of getting the word out any way possible and influencing government agencies and institutes of higher learning to educate the public and health care professionals. I didn't learn about insulin resistance in school or my residency. I found it following the bread crumbs in clinical practice.

Why We Get Sick. The book is great. It's a little difficult for the common Joe like me but it also made SO much sense!! The reason his book is doing so good is because we were given BAD info, bad eating and nutrition advise for 40 years. We were told to follow the food pyramid, eat margarine, vegetable oils, low fat, lots of breads and cereals. We followed the USDA guidelines and it only made our health worse! I could see my Type2 getting worse for 20 years. Thank God for Ben Bikman. I'm down 30 pounds and using 70% less insulin now. (in 6 months!) I'm working on reversing my T2D!

I believe I am insulin resistance but I have low blood pressure, long with my entire family, swollen legs. No heart problems. I went on intermittent fasting and lost my belly along with 55 lbs. When I put a few drops of oil of oregano in my water, for a week, the swelling went down. Wheat and alcohol makes me sick.

[@dana102083]

Swelling goes down when insulin is lowered. The kidney is manipulated by aldosterone to either retain salt and water or pee it out. Both fasting and ketogenic both do that, but fasting is faster. 🙏

[@drmorgannolte]

Thanks for the comment, Dana!

[@drmorgannolte]

If possible, I recommend getting your fasting insulin and glucose checked to do the HOMA score as I talked about in a recent video if you want to know if you have IR. Congrats on the weight loss with IF. That's great!

[@Omegacrafton]

You mean oregano essential oil ?

[@patrickh709]

@@Omegacrafton There is no such thing as "essential" oregano oil. The term essential means that the human body cannot live without it. And thus, there is no such thing as an essential carbohydrate. There is no such thing as an essential plant or vegetable. You can get all your essential nutrients from an animal based diet. Animal proteins and fats are far superior to plants. And plants contain anti-nutrients that prevent the absorption of most of the beneficiary nutrients inherent in vegetation.

Drs have a test for insulin resistance plus with their medical training can look at a person & know they are insulin resistant but all they will ever test is for ones blood sugar unless get down on knees and beg to be tested for insulin resistance. The drs are just waiting with baited breath testing do blood sugar until pancreases crashes & dies sending a person to metaforum or insulin land so they have a lifetime cash flow from a persons health woes. People should get together and file a class action law suit against the medical profession for malpractice as the drs know what they are doing for their own economic benefit and to a person detriment for their health.

thank you, dr morgan, and thank you, dr ben. in my physical therapy education 26 years ago, and in practice up to the past year, insulin resistance was a non-factor in patient care. it was so, of course, until i began a quest to understand what it is, which continues. now i have realized that it affects lots of those who seek my help. without understanding it, i cannot possibly treat someone's condition in the most complete manner at my disposal. how it began for me: my mom sending me a link to dr lustig's "sugar: the bitter truth" lecture. thank you, too, dr lustig and dr fung as well, for exposing me to the information my patients need to have in order to live healthier lives!!!!!

[@grahamedwards6824]

Carb addiction is a misnomer. But if I have become accustomed to them, and I wish to change, I have to do things that are likely to activate the alternative fuel source, namely our stores of fat. I had to work at it for a few weeks with lowering the carbohydrates, increasing healthy fats (such as olive oil), and increasing my hours of fasting each day. Going at it too quickly is likely to cause very low glucose levels which can be harmful. But when the metabolism is is more 'flexible', it is better able to produce it's own glucose in the liver, which is called gluconeogenesis. And I then experienced much less hunger.

When my doc mentioned NAFLD, I went down the rabbit hole. Low carb, intermittent fasting, as soon as I digested the Krebs cycle and the rest, through Robert Lustig. Now binging (this is a bad term I know) on this material. And yes, nutritionism is the main problem, plus an emphasis on medications and specialized treatment instead of functional preventive medicine. I followed the advise for decades, my diabetes got worse. No doubt it’s getting better, now…look ma…no exogenous insulin. Slowly graduating to longer fasts. But still need to be careful since still on some orals. Oh and my BP is down to a quarter of my starting dose… It makes sense. But medical providers never mentioned any of this. I went digging myself. As a former medic…I get why, but that does not stop my anger at the system. I know it’s not a conspiracy, but dang it, looks like one. One last thing, my intro to this was Dr. Robert Lustig. It went from there. Dr Fung and Dr Bickman are next

[@drmorgannolte]

Awesome story thanks for sharing and way to take control of your health. I'm with you that it is very frustrating the lack of specific and detailed advice given by many primary care provider's just isn't cutting it. I don't think it's a conspiracy as most people I know in healthcare truly want to help. How billing is set up is a huge barrier as they can only see someone for a short amount of time. And as you know, it takes a lot of explaining to get this to "click" with people enough to motivate them to change their lifestyle vs looking to their doctor to fix them.

Thanks for subscribing. Regarding the glycemic index, it's an okay place to start, but doesn't account for fructose at all.

So glad you're enjoying my videos! There could be a number of things causing shoulder pain. Do you have access to a local physical therapist/physiotherapist? I'd recommend an in-person assessment so they can check your joint mobility, strength, and see if there's something else going on like pain radiating from the neck or back.

[@greglegare5620]

Might be a little late, but if the right shoulder pain is following meals this could be a response of a struggling gallbladder to process the increased amounts of fat in the KETO diet. The solution to this would be to increase bile (aids in digestion of lipids) through bile salt supplementation OR by increasing sodium in the diet to increase stomach acidity (results in better digestion altogether). The thing with KETO, and especially when combined with intermittent fasting and/or OMAD (one meal a day), there’s less opportunity to get sodium into the diet. Also, keep in mind that when getting KETO adjusted, the body will shed water weight, thusly, releasing stored sodium as well. Salt your proteins 👍🏻

[@chaz6399]

If doctors are telling you "eat healthy and workout" then I assume you've seen at least two doctors, which means it's unlikely that you have a serious disease. I'm guessing you don't even feel like working out, so you have to start with diet. Stop drinking soft drinks and fruit juices. Do not eat dried fruit. Stop eating all sweets. Stop snacking - eat no more than 3 meals per day. Start reading food labels and avoid ALL foods with added sugar. Food manufacturers are very sneaky about how they list the ingredients, especially sugar, in their food products. You will to need to learn to recognize "sugar" when you see it listed as something else. Examples: dextrose, evaporated cane juice, corn syrup, etc. are all SUGAR. A good way to avoid this problem is simply to avoid processed food altogether. You may need to get even more strict, but what I've written above would be a very good start and will be sufficient for most people, especially your age. PS: Honey, brown sugar, maple syrup, agave nectar, etc. may seem "healthy" but they are not. Treat them just like you would sugar -- avoid them.

I was very disheartened when I was told I was prediabetic. I am very conservative with my sugar intake and overall diet; I do not smoke, not drink alcohol. I am also 65 years old, not retired, and fairly active. First, I thought it was familial because my older brother and younger sister are both diabetics, but in their case, my sister was almost obese when diagnosed, my brother not very overweight but eats everything. My BP, trygl, HDL, thyroid, liver, and kidney are within normal. My LDL was slightly elevated, but the ratio is normal too. So what other causes could trigger my IR. I read some studies that if you vit D, B12 and magnesium are low you can develop IR. Those parameters were low in my case. So I am working on bringing them to the normal range also because I show as osteopenic too. I am exercising every day now and following a low-carb diet (though I have restricted excess sugars for most of my adult life); I am not a heavy carnivore. I eat meat maybe two times a week. I have lost the 2 extra pounds I was carrying beyond my normal weight of 128Lb. I do not want to lose too much. I hope I can harness this problem because I do not want to be a pharma dependant and want to avoid the suffering of DM2 I have seen because I am also a nurse. So you see; DM2 is not only a disease of the obese and uncontrolled eater. The thought of possibly becoming diabetic was the last in my mind when I went for my first Medicare visit.
