0:00 Intro
02:02 During PhD studies, he learned that insulin is the metabolic key. Now that he has his own lab, the relevance of insulin upon normal metabolic health is his area of study.
03:11 Insulin is needed to Grow Fat Cells.
03:35 Distortion of the Fat Cell
05:59 As we grow larger fat cells and we reach 150% of what is ideal for our bodies, we start making new fat cells. As someone loses weight, they will not reduce the number of fat cells. They shrink the size of their existing cells.
07:14 Triglycerides are Not Relevant to Insulin Resistance
09:34 Muscle is Our Biggest Glucose Sink
10:35 Insulin is a Factor in Inflammation
12:08 Exercise is Important, but Diet is Critical
13:45 Toxic Lipids Cause Mitochondrial Alterations
15:39 Brown Adipose Tissue and an Uncoupling Protein
18:39 When Brown Fat Cells are Exposed to Insulin, Their Metabolic Rate Will go Down by about Half.
19:38 When our White Fat is Exposed to Ketones, Our Fat Goes from Storing to Wasting.
20:34 The Evolutionary Benefit of Ketones Inducing Wasting: Perhaps the conversion of white fat into heat burning instigated by ketones was meant for heat production. Our bodies act protectively. Evolutionarily, ketogenic diets would be seasonal.
24:55 Cold Thermogenesis to Activate Brown Fat: Constant cold exposure, to the point where you are shivering, works to activate brown fat. Ice baths and genuine cold exposure does this as well.
27:31 You Can Alter Your Metabolic Rate
30:24 Benefits of Low Insulin
32:46 We Need Insulin: It is necessary for normal mitochondrial function. Eating a healthy low carb diet will give you enough insulin variability. We want to keep insulin normal.
25:16 Time Restricted Feeding and Fasting to Trigger Beiging
28:05 We are All Insulin Resistant First Thing in the Morning
39:01 The Effect of Protein and Carbs on Insulin: If you are insulin resistant, you will get a huge long lasting fat storage spike from eating something like a bagel, as opposed to the quick bump for someone who is insulin sensitive.
41:45 Speculation that Exogenous Ketones Turn to Fat when Insulin is high
46:34 Dr. Bikman’s Morning Routine
48:08 Dr. Bikman’s Favorite Exercise is the Deadlift
49:09 Dr. Bikman’s Desert Island Herb, Nutrient or Botanical: He would bring cow liver, which is packed with mitochondria. We do not adopt the mitochondria of the meat we eat, but we can get the building block components of the mitochondria.
51:06 Dr. Bikman’s Elevator Pitch: Stop emphasizing a high carbohydrate/low fat diet.
51:36 Don’t Worry about Gluconeogenesis

[@alexsandraAPRN]

Absolutely everything this guy says I have seen in practice. I'm a nurse practitioner and where I work we have been measuring fasting insulin for more than 10 years now. So many patients with normal glucose levels don't know they have very high insulin levels. You can have insulin resistance for 10 years before becoming a diabetic. As far as public health is concern fasting glucose and A1C levels alone does not help to prevent diabetes. Now, not everyone with high insulin will become a diabetic some will just have inflammation issues. Fascinating interview!!!

[@hyrumshumway9247]

Ben Bikman is one of the kindest men I know. He was transformative in helping myself and my cousin eventually fulfill our dream of going to medical school. He always was a mentor and a lifter. He is empathetic and kind. I also know he is smart! But, more important this guy is just an overall "good dude." Proud to see him doing great things and then I research brown fat for help in my histology course he is the #2 hit on youtube. Love it. I really love it.

Dr. Jason Fung is the first person that I know who recognized the centrality of insulin in generating fat tissue. He needs to be recognized for his excellence.

[@thearodriguez8268]

He started with fat and sugar and primarily learnt and followed other MDs and dieticians, health bloggers... he followed the data and repeated it, he didn't innovate it or the discussion he joined it, parroted it and profits through his books. His talks and interviews are quite wishy washy and focus not enough on dietary habits but not eating and a keto style of eating.

[@100anti]

Yes I heard it first from him. Ekburg is good too!

[@thierryvidal63]

He doesn't talk bullshit but not really the first . I learnt in a french school in 1998 that sugar= insulin and insulin= body fat stocking. Mix sugar and fat (like say in a big mac for instance) and the protein meat content will have almost no impact on your weight gain. Sugar + fat, regardless of the number of calories is a deadly mix. Insulin is a catabolic (destruction) hormone.

[@Frederer59]

[@adaw332]

I'm not questioning none of the guys here, but I'd like to understand... I used to eat sweet cookies EVERY SINGLE DAY -not exaggerating: every morning and afternoon. Cookies in my country though are more dry, they have a higher CH content than fat content unlike in the States, and more saturated fats than non-saturated, that is, more buttery and less oily. My triglicerydes were always at optimum levels and so were all my health indicators from comprehensive blood tests. Being in a more than amazing shape, a depression got me to lose a bit of weight and then when I recovered it, it looked a bit different than before so I wanted to get back to normal. So, for a long time now, for about a year, I have been reducing wheat, added sugars and saturated fats to the maximum recommended daily, increased my uptake of "healthy" fats and adjusting overall fats, CH and protein to those ideally recommended, both by my nutritionist and online serious nutrition information from Harvard and such. I also tried intermittent fasting for some months. All other things equal, I AM NOW FATTER THAN EVER, WITH A WEIRD FAT DISTRIBUTION I DIDN'T HAVE BEFORE (WEIRDER THAN WHAT LED ME TO TRY THIS) AND, WORSE OF ALL, THE FAT IS NOT GOING AWAY, WHEN BEFORE I COULD LOSE A LITTLE WEIGHT IF I WANTED TO AS EASILY AS RESTRICTING CALORIES VEEEERY SLIGHTLY DURING TWO MONTHS. I used to eat 55% CH, 16.5% protein and 29% fat with much more sugar and saturated fat MY WHOLE LIFE and was slim, lean and fit as one could be. I am now eating 48% CH, 24% protein (with even higher days) and 28% fat (with even higher days), again, with the more "healthy fats", less sugar, wheat and starchs and more protein. Also, my skin is AWFUL and I am not sleeping well, no more than 5 hours in a row, while before I slept 9/10 hours easily and happily. How can you explain this???

I've been a silent follower for some time now, but I feel compelled to say (or rather, echoing what everyone has commented thus far) that the quality of this interview was one of the best. Essentially reemphasizing something that is seemingly 'already understood' (insulin) but really diving deeper into the dangers of when it (insulin) is unregulated. Thanks for the work that you do!

[@SiimLand]

I agree - insulin is depicted as the enemy but we shouldn't take it as black and white. It's more like a matter of context

[@Highintensityhealth]

Wow, thanks for that Castor Phan! Many more equally informative interviews in the hopper coming soon :-) Cheers, Mike

[@jamiejunk9706]

Castor Phan i

[@GamingDad]

@@SiimLand as far as I understand is that our liver is capable of producing glucose using a process called gluconeogenesis. This production will still put glucose in your bloodstream, this in turn means that our body needs to produce insulin to transport this glucose to the brain(for the confused, small part of our brain runs on glucose). Sure insulin is not the enemy when it's doing it's happy little job just a little bit at a time. But we are currently being bombarded by carbs which will make our pancreas run into overtime producing insulin to get rid of all that sugar.

[@SquatFull]

Thanks from this video. I'm an ex-sugar addict that converted to nutritional ketosis two and half years ago. This video added to my knowledge about the benefits of nutritional ketosis.

I recently watched Dr. Benjamin Bikman's lecture on the low carb down under channel, and it was eye opening. I thought, from years of watching presentations from the likes of Gary Taubes, Dr. Ted Naiman, Dr. Jeff Volek, Dr. Stephen Phinney, Dr. Timothy Noakes etc. etc., that I heard all I needed to hear about insulin. However, when I watched that lecture from Dr. Bikman, and this notion of how insulin effects brown adipose tissue, it was definitely an enlightening moment. Thank you so much for giving Dr. Bikman a platform to further explain his insight

[@Highintensityhealth]

Thanks, Drake Santiago! Always new stuff to discuss. Appreciate your tuning in, Mike

[@umnachtet5229]

Another argument for high carb diets

[@alphacause]

Um Nachtet, I am assuming you mean low carb diets?

[@umnachtet5229]

To optimize insulin sensitivity getting the main part of your calories from complex carbohydrates is by far the best choice. All meta-studies on this subject show that high carb intake correlates with a lower BMI and lower rates of obesity (intriguingly, a lot of the studies were done on Americans so the carb intake included a lot of high glycemic carbs as well). The problem are not carbs, but how your body is able to deal with them. High fat intake as well as carrying a lot of bodyfat will increase the level of triglycerides in the bloodstream ---> this then leads to intramyocellular lipids (google that) building up in the cells and downregulating insulin receptor activity ---> your body wont be able to control bloodsugar as well as before ---> you develop metabolic syndrom/diabetes and carbs will actually make you fat. I dont get how anyone would advice keto/high fat diets for longterm weightloss. People should go to the library and check what the actual scientific data says on this. Keto mainly works well for bodybuilders as it makes it easer to get from 6% to 4%bf and it makes the effect of carbloading more pronounced and easier to control (in addition to the diuretic effect of leaving out carbs for a longer duration). Btw why do you think all these chicks are going vegan recently? Most of these bitches dont care for the animals but they love it because they get leaner ---> limited fat sources as well as lots of complex carb sources with low calorie density. People dont get fat from eating oats, potatoes, whole grain noodles + fruits and vegetables....No, its milk products, processed meat...come on deep inside everyone actually knows this is true. People just like to hear that eating all those tasty fatty foods is healthy, because they wont have to change anything.

[@rolitiwari0909]

Same here

[@maricampari3970]

this is amazing. I can see the changes happening in me and all I did was lower sugar and up healthy fat intake. Totally against the advice of all diet info I grew up on, this approach has been life-altering for me. I'm able to stay at a maintenance weight with NO EFFORT when I am using more fat for energy. When I was younger and addicted to sugar, there was absolutely nothing I could do to keep the weight off. Even being active in high school I ballooned, there was nothing I could do to work off the weight, and I was too tired to try harder, and too hungry to eat less. Now, I can mess up my diet and no fat gain, because I simply burn it off. My body is working completely differently now.

[@dongrant810]

You are so right and if you fast, you will not die and your hunger will go away!

[@maricampari3970]

Yes, I can fast without complaint now that I run on fat. When I was fasting, I realized I've never known true hunger before. Being hungry for even one day is not TRUE hunger. People act as if it's impossible to ignore the pains of sugar cravings but once you're through them, you see what your body is really capable of.

Maybe increased uncoupling during ketosis is because when there is a lot of dietary fat available, the body can afford to self-regulate temperature without shivering, and the same pathways getting activated during fasting is just a glitch.

Conspiracy theories tend to be just that: theories. I think that this callory counting is the result of people not wanting to eat less sugar and not wanting to eat more vegetables. People will go with doctors and medicine that allow them to eat all the bad stuff ..... "in moderation". I saw a guy in an interview complaining that because of his diabetes he is allowed "only 1 milkshake er day". If that is how people think then it is not so strange doctors and medicine are focused on helping them survive their own stuidity.

I've been overweight all my concious life and obese since I'm adult. Like everyone I was always told that breakfast is so important, I noticed that I tend to be hungrier during the mornings when I had breakfast than when I didn't. Got told that having an appetite means that "your engine is running" and "you need to be hungry to burn fat". Tried to lose weight countless times, was always hungry and the weight always returned after I failed again (off course). Decided to start cutting carbs (not exactly keto due to social reasons, but no sugar and as little carbs outside of shared meals as possible) and IF (just skipping breakfast for now) about 2-3 weeks ago and I think that for the first time in my life I'm not that hungry, I don't feel tempted to buy crisps and pastries in the supermarket and I have to use my calorie-counter to make sure I eat enough instead of not too much. The science makes sense to me too, I like having some understanding of what I'm doing when drastically restricting anything (biology student here, not specializing on physiology but I've had the basics at least), I came to the conclusion of high carb/low carb diets being a seasonal cycle myself and I'm glad to hear it confirmed. If I keep feeling this way and keep losing weight steadily (lost like 2.5 kg since the start of april) this might finally be my answer to this mess :)

I use Bikmans mantra of Keto dieting Control Carbs Prioritize Proteins Fill with Fat. Try it. You will lose 1 pound/day

[@qthirteen13]

Think about it in terms of prehistory...we had to get up and go hunt for our first meal...our body tends to raise cortisol in the morning to help release glucose with glucagon ... our bodies provide our breakfast for us in a way...so anyone who says breakfast is the most important meal of the day is being dogmatic usually and not thinking...breakfast is neither really good nor really bad....it all depends on what gets you up and moving...you need to choose what is right for yourself :-)

Really great interview! You talked through a lot of the questions I had.

[@BodyCulinary]

much appreciation for the discussion and research and making this available.

[@kitten_purrrs73]

I tried explaining the difference between Brown fat and white fat to a friend and got looked at like i had four heads lol ... i was trying to tell her to watch her insulin levels and about keto and to work out in the cold when possible to try and get more brown fat but she didn't believe me ... so im happy i found this video.Great info !

[@sidmichael1158]

Work out in the cold?

[@kitten_purrrs73]

@@sidmichael1158 ummm ya ...Research shows daily exposure to cold increases a body's volume of brown adipose tissue, or brown fat. So to exercise and work out in the cold is a great idea.

@@kitten_purrrs73 can it also reduce your white fat and turn them into brown fat?

35:45 has that study been published? Where would I keep an eye out at to see his results on that project?

I heard Dr Bickman once earlier this year during a recorded symposium. Great stuff then great stuff today :) I'm gonna go visit him :)

An AMAZING interview!! Eloquent yet to the point. THANK YOU!!!!!! You have a new subscriber.

[@josephfowler2566]

Has there been any updates on his studies he was conducting at the time of the interview?

[@ammovette]

@ 33:00 I'm interested in those redundancies he mentioned. Insulin alternatives (HGH, and certain Amino acids) to developing/maintaining muscle mass.

Amazing interview! I learned so much!!! I really appreciate that the interviewer asked great questions and then sat back and actually listened to the answers. One of the best interviews I've heard in a long time!

[@hamradiocq]

Intermittent fasting is the only way I can lose weight now. Even super low carb doesn't do it.

[@dongrant810]

Keto/low carb is fasting mimicking, so just do the real thing.

AnythingWithWheels Western food supply is poisoned.

[@kirshens]

@@dongrant810 actually. I am beginning to have the same issue. As a type2 diabetic for over 30 years, my insulin resistance is very strong. I've been doing intermittent fasting but just started 36 hour fasting. It's very hard because no matter what, my insulin rises but it's coming down gradually. If your really insulin resistant and have been that way for awhile aka years, then going to the next step may be necessary. Fasting and vertically zero carbs and no sugar or sugar substitutes. You have to break the sugar addiction. I'm working on my sugar addiction too. I've lost 46 lbs and hit a major plateau. Next step it is. Good luck.

[@Blind_Side94]

@@kirshens best of luck to you brother stay strong 👍

[@aliceliddell8413]

Same, but I think I need to cut out all carbs at this point because IF and low carb isn't doing it anymore. I lost 10lbs but that's it. I've hit a plateau.

[@SpencerMack]

Excellent video! thankyou! i would have like to hear his input if high protein limits ketosis. in my understanding its a misnomer. THanks for all you share on this channel!

[@SiimLand]

It can kick you out of ketosis but it won't jeopardize keto-adaptation. The two are quite distinct. You may burn off that extra glucose via gluconeogenesis, thus suppressing ketones, but your brain will easily revert back to burning fat for fuel within a few hours

[@Highintensityhealth]

Thanks good man, Spencer-Mack! We did address protein, see description for time-stamps :-) Cheers, Mike

[@carrollhoagland1053]

Spencer, due to Autophagy, we recycle 70% of our proteins, an evolutionary adaptation to "Starvation". Excess proteins end up as ammonia a waste in urine. GNG is function that never allows glucose to go to Zero in Blood, reason "Fasting" 30-60 days works - another evolutionary adaptation. Humans - member of the Great Apes that Stores "Fat", we store limited carbs, we store fats and proteins, but proteins are last resort fuel - carbs very short term fuel - ketones and Starvation was our Normal State - Ref: Dr. Ohsumi - Autophagy www.70GoingOn100.com the Centenarian Diet, or maybe 128, the Hayflick limit, or if a Ray Kurzweil fan then this is a Moot Point …

[@finalstartfitness4473]

I agree with all of the comments.. this was one of the best interviews yet Mike!! Thank you bud!!

[@eerbatsirk]

I still believe if we have fat to use as fuel then we should. Since we have accessibility to all fruit beans and grains year round. So therefore Ketosis makes sense all year round for humans now if people can do it. And breaking it during social times if desired.

[@dongrant810]

The "Study of One" that you are in is better than all the crap studies that Big Food and Big Pharma can pay for! Jesus H. Christ, God bless him is still in the dark ages. I think they may start burning us at the stake if we don't fall in line with the eat less move more crap that has given the U.S. and now the rest of the world diabetes. Have a Coke and a smile!

when i lived in minnesota i would go outside every morning regardless of temperature in my bare feet with no shirt on and stand for a minute or two to signal my body. then eat bacon and eggs for breakfast because i read about this brown fat stuff and i swear it helped me feel warmer throughout the day. try it if you live up north.
