SURPRISING SCIENCE On How To ACTUALLY Burn Body Fat! | Dr. Benjamin Bikman

Around the world, we struggle with diseases that were once considered rare. Cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and diabetes affect millions each year. Many people are also struggling with hypertension, weight gain, fatty liver, dementia, low testosterone, menstrual irregularities and infertility, and more. We treat the symptoms, not realizing that all of these diseases and disorders have something in common. Each of them is caused or made worse by a condition known as insulin resistance. Over half of all adults in the United States are insulin resistant, with most other countries either worse or not far behind.
On today’s Broken Brain Podcast, our host Dhru talks to Dr. Benjamin Bikman, a renowned metabolic research scientist, and a popular speaker on human metabolism and nutrition. Backed by years of research, Dr. Bikman’s mission is to help the world appreciate the prevalence and relevance of insulin resistance. He is the author of the newly released book, Why We Get Sick, which offers a thought-provoking yet real solution to insulin resistance and how to reverse pre-diabetes, improve brain function, shed fat, and prevent diabetes. Dr. Bikman has a Doctor of Philosophy in Bioenergetics from East Carolina University, a Master of Science in Exercise Physiology, and a Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science from Brigham Young University.
In this episode, Dhru and Dr. Bikman talk about why insulin resistance has become so prevalent and why it matters. They discuss what makes us insulin resistant in the first place, and the evidence linking many major diseases, including cancer, diabetes, and Alzheimer’s disease, to it. They also talk about how to reverse and prevent insulin resistance through specific diet and lifestyle modifications.
In this episode, we dive into:
- Fat cells and the role they play in the body (3:01)
- The recipe for weight loss (12:23)
- The role of insulin in our bodies (18:05)
- How to know if you are insulin resistant (45:22)
- Lab testing for insulin resistance (50:09)
- The role cholesterol plays in insulin resistance (52:40)
- 4 steps to improve insulin resistance (1:01:57)
- Why movement is so important when it comes to insulin resistance (1:11:57)
- The power of wearing a continuous glucose monitor (1:13:49)
- Where to learn more about Dr. Bikman (1:18:21)

0:00: 📚 Fat cells are not just inert energy storage depots, but also endocrine organs that secrete hormones and play a role in various bodily functions. 8:51: 📝 The traditional advice of eating less and exercising more for weight loss is flawed because it focuses on calorie restriction and can lead to increased hunger and rebound weight gain. Instead, the endocrine component, specifically insulin levels, should be prioritized to manipulate fat cell growth and shrinkage. 17:16: 💡 Insulin is a hormone that lowers blood glucose levels by allowing glucose to enter cells, but it also has an anabolic effect on all cells in the body, which can lead to insulin resistance. 27:34: 📈 Insulin resistance is a widespread health disorder caused by constantly elevated insulin levels, which is often overlooked due to the focus on glucose control. 33:16: 🔑 Insulin resistance is a survival mechanism in the body, but it can lead to various negative effects such as migraines, infertility, and increased risk of Alzheimer's disease. 41:51: 💡 Insulin resistance occurs when fat cells become insulin resistant, leading to the release of pro-inflammatory proteins and the spread of insulin resistance to other tissues in the body. 51:04: 📊 Insulin resistance can be determined through blood measurements such as fasting insulin levels and the ratio of triglycerides to HDL cholesterol. 1:03:08: 🥦 Lower insulin by controlling carbohydrates and prioritizing animal protein, while also focusing on improving sleep habits to lower stress levels. 1:06:25: ✅ To improve insulin resistance: lower stress, prioritize protein, fill remaining calories with fat, and practice intermittent fasting. 1:14:16: 💡 Wearing continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) can empower individuals to make their own dietary changes based on real-time glucose level feedback. 1:21:51: 🥤 The speaker discusses the digestion of protein and the potential impact of whey shakes on weight sensitivity.

I’ve never felt this good in my life I’m 46 and I feel 20. I also I am wheelchair dependent due to cerebral palsy. So I don’t burn a lot of calories on a given day like the average person I do when I go to the gym and do the hand cycle or lift weights, so this is been the only “diet” that I’ve ever had any success in losing weight and feeling better I don’t feel deprived at all because it’s Great food and I’m cooking it myself so I know what’s in it so if you’re on the fence you might want to give it a shot always talk to Dr.

So funny, how well they taught every American to stop eating the yolks, then went on to say only the white!!! followed by many years of eggs are just plain old horrible! you’ll get strokes, diabetes or astronomically high cholesterol… The tv commercials I saw daily were endless, billboards across the nation too, like big bro was doing us peons some big old favor….

I just stopped eating manmade sugar and processed foods within 2 months down 15 pounds.

[@mirandac5561]

Such a great video! I’m 35 and I have lost 65lbs in the last 6 months by cutting out sugar gluten & dairy, only eating natural carbs, prioritizing my sleep, drinking only water & more of it and living a fasting lifestyle. I do OMAD but only short term, most days I have a 4-6 hour eating window with 2 meals but I try not to eat my meals at the same time every day, absolutely no snacking in between meals and some 24-72hr fasts every once in a while. I started at 285lbs on January 1st and lost the first 40lbs in 4 months with hardly any working out. When I did it was maybe 4-6 times a month that I would go with my friend to the gym and I would lift as heavy as I could and then walk on the treadmill on an incline for 30 minutes. For the last 6 years I have lost and regained the same 30 to 40lbs every year and it’s been so frustrating and discouraging. I’m so thankful that I found Dr. Jason Fung, Dr. Pradip Jamnadas & Dr. Mindy Pelz. Those 3 and videos like this have helped me learn how my body actually works and it’s amazing how our bodies can heal themselves. I have no loose skin even though I lost weight so fast, I had nerve damage from a C-Section 7 years ago that has now completely healed, my acne has cleared up and I’m even growing less gray hairs. I started the year in size 22 jeans and I’m now wearing size 10! I’m so excited to keep fighting for my health and to keep learning and soon I’m going to be out of the 200s and I have no doubt that I will be out of them for good.

[@ngerstner753]

Wow this is so encouraging. I just started keto and if around three weeks ago when I started listening to some of these same people. I lost 13 pounds in a few weeks. Now taking a break for my progesterone building window. Still keeping carbs low and focusing on natural carbs.

[@sethbrolsma516]

Lower insulin resistance by lessening stress (in large part by getting more sleep) and four dietary tips: fewer carbs; prioritize high-quality protein (focus on animal protein, whey, egg whites); fill all remaining calories with fat (fat has no effect on insulin; focus on animal fat and fruit fats i.e. coconut, avocado, olives vis-a-vis oils...avoid soybean, cottonseed, canola oil); time-restricted eating/intermittent fasting. Also working your muscles stimulates an insulin-like effect of pulling glucose into the muscle despite insulin resistance. Do not finish working out by loading up on carbs because it will undo the benefit of the muscles synthesizing insulin on their own.

[@DABA2024]

Always interesting on videos by experts where people have to come in and provide their own ‘expert’ thoughts. Such a weird impulse. Also to present them as rules. People should NOT eat whey protein as a rule my man.

[@dangersmymiddlename6341]

A moderate amount of carbs will help the protein get into the muscle cells.

[@MsTeaAndCrump3ts]

@@stevemashford3700 Aren't we genetically closer to chimps than Gorillas? Plus our guts aren't long enough to break down so much plant matter and get all the nutrients out that we need. We aren't cows. If you look at the way our chest cavity is built and how our guts are positioned, we are made for meat processing more than plant processing. We need protein and fats. Carbs ( via plants and fruits ) can be supplemented by the diet or made by the liver. They are nonessential to be eaten directly. They are treats. Plus plants have lots of antinutrients because they don't wanna be eaten haha so they shouldn't make up the majority of one's diet. Moderate protein is better with higher fat content and low carb for longevity. Toss a human into the wild without modern conveniences and medicine, they probably won't be looking for a salad. Thanks for your response though! ^_^

@@MsTeaAndCrump3ts Sorry, chimps also closer to us in chronological time the Gorillas are most genetically like us. All the best nutritionalists are now saying eat more greens and vary them widely, eat low g i carbohydrates in the way of fruit and vegetables and nuts for Omega 3's. Of course protein is still out to lunch but I believe 1 to 2 grams of true protein per kilogram of LEAN body mass is required. Omegas feed your brain and cell walls, proteins for growth and repairs, carbohydrates are for fuel . Protein and good fats are also fuel however slower and harder to digest. If you want more I could call you anywhere in the world. These diet requirements are in the bible actually. Steve

[@MsTeaAndCrump3ts]

@@stevemashford3700 Ahh I see what you are saying, I think we agree on most things. I think the push for varied greens has to do with the new research coming out about the gut microbiome and varied sources to feed said bugs haha. I misunderstood when you said low protein, thought you were inferring that we should eat 0.5g/kg of lean body mass or something like that. 1g/kg is very fair, I dare as 2g a bit much BUT if it fits your lifestyle, it makes sense.

[@Juleeev]

So to summarize this amazing discussion : Small changes makes a big difference and can be a make or break to your health(specially the ones who have excess fat in the body) 1. Insulin resistance is the enemy - Cancer, Alzeihmers,Type 1,2,3 diabetes and a bunch of other health problems all lowering your life expectancy(for real) - high fat(fat cannot shrink without insulin being low - triggrs a response to Insulin which when fights tough battles with high glucose foods too often, turns resistant to that fight and the enemy keeps getting stronhger) 2. Switch to a low carb diet(dont eat high carb even after working out since it negates the improved insulin sensitivity achieved during and even after the workout) 3. Try intermittent fasting(where you have a balance between feeding and a fasted state instead of spiking insulin/eating every couple hours) 4.- STRESS - Reduced Stress means lower cortisol and adrenaline, that is insulin friendly and vice versa, easy solution= QUALITY SLEEP SCHEDULE So, low carb means less spike in Insulin - To do 1 To do 2: High protein diet and resistance training(overall anabolic state - catabolic only achieved when insulin functions properly haha) To do 3: Lower Stress- Connect to the environment, improve sleep quality To do 4 : Time restricted feeding / Intermittent Fasting To do 5 : ADD FATS to your diet. our bodies are not meant to process protein without fats(add in quality plant fats to your diet like avocados, olives and Coconut oil). Carbs only in form of low GI and preferably from fruits and vegetables while completely eliminating grains, corns and rice.

My considerable internet research has finally paid off and recognized with extremely good facts to exchange with my friends and the world. Medical Doctors and Dermatologists said (HSV 1&2, Herpes zosters) do not have a medical cure because the virus is capable of hiding within the human cells, it remains protected from your immune system. Herpes isn't an incurable virus! your immune system has the tools to fight it back, But because it is able to lay dormant in protected cells, your immune system is unable to remove it from your body, But with strong reactive herbal medication, it is capable of getting rid of the virus gradually and totally from your body without any side effects, natural herbs kill the virus totally not just reducing the outbreaks. I just got my test result today after 7 days of using the herbal Medication and it came out Negative to both HSV 1&2.im so delighted I recommend this to anyone suffering from herpes virus.

My considerable internet research has finally paid off and recognized with extremely good facts to exchange with my friends and the world. Medical Doctors and Dermatologists said (HSV 1&2, Herpes zosters) do not have a medical cure because the virus is capable of hiding within the human cells, it remains protected from your immune system. Herpes isn't an incurable virus! your immune system has the tools to fight it back, But because it is able to lay dormant in protected cells, your immune system is unable to remove it from your body, But with strong reactive herbal medication, it is capable of getting rid of the virus gradually and totally from your body without any side effects, natural herbs kill the virus totally not just reducing the outbreaks. I just got my test result today after 7 days of using the herbal Medication and it came out Negative to both HSV 1&2.im so delighted I recommend this to anyone suffering from herpes virus.

Hi Piyush, am starting my 7 days water day and gradually planning to do OMAD, having said that I don’t consume chicken and red meat can you please help suggesting some foods that you usually eat which doesn’t spike insulin and low in carbs as throughout my life I have been eating mostly carbs. Will appreciate your revert! Thanks

The best interview I’ve everrrrrrr listen to. I mean I just learned what’s I’m going through right now. I’m plant based and grain free ... To cure my migraines. I listened to other podcast that states wheat is ‘good’ for you. I started eating gluten free and binged on dairy free ice cream last week. I got so sick and my migraines have been going on for two weeks. I’m 5 days wheat free and my body reacts to wheat withdrawal by breaking out in hives. I’m staying away from wheat forever!!

A fasting blood panel, find the Triglycerides ÷ HDL = 1.5 or less is Insulin sensitive, which is good. Higher than 1.5 is Insulin Resistance which is alarm bells.

[@charlanpennington3989]

Stephanie Loder, please look into Floressence Tea, the book used, on Amazon is The Essiac Report.....Canada. I turned my friend onto it for her stage 4 breast cancer. (Sorry we can't treat you anymore, it is causing more harm than good). Before 2016 it took 3 months or 4 boxes, do NOT use distilled water from plastic bottles. My friend lost insomnia at day 15, same as everyone. She showed her Oncologist on day 30ish, and he swore at her, threw the box, and forbid its use. She kept using, we used it full strength cold instead of hot. At arround 3.5 months he kept calling her back for new blood work, CAT SCAN , and tests she couldn't name, because the cancer showed up missing. She was cancer free 7 years then got it again and died. Success is 5 years for western medicine. Everone who survived 20 years repeats the tea the same 3 months yearly, but not 12 months yearly for kidney rest. Ps . Bladder, Prostate and Kidney cancers need 4 months minimum. Also 6 weeks use befor surgery will reverse ganglions into a perfect blob for easy removal, on many subjects. See letters in back of book. Yes it crosses the blood brain barrier to help tumors there. Actually it never cures cancer it only removes poison like pesticides and heavy metals, then T-cells begin to be perfect and they kill cancer and viruses like they are supposed to. Note: do full research on GMOs to kick all out of your diet today, and GMO canola is hidden 34% in all oil from Mafia. Try all oil from Trader Joe's , and the California oil with blue butterfly 🦋 is good. This may lose a few diseases for you. The Costco olive oil with blue butterfly is a lie. Soy lethecin is GMO and your deathly enemy, all Trader Joe is GMOfree, use the pound plus bars for chocolate now because the soy lethecin is God made not GMO, so is perfect. I'm finding Doctors trained to say " oh, YOUR kind of cancer can't be treated with that tea, for the ones who do know about it. Have friends who died from this.

Hi Steph, thinking of you during this journey. Keep going. If you can add IF fasting, please do. I cut out carbs and found that okra (boiled) and beetroot helped me a lot when im hungry. Please dont give up on yourself. Xx also youtube had a page called popsugar which have mild fitness programs you can do sitting down. Another tip: when in fasting mode if it gets difficult. I used to chop large cucumbers and eat that all day till i ended my fast. I sometimes have around 5 long cucumbers a day. Helped me a lot.

Key advices to take home: * Less stress Try to keep a regular and healthy sleeping pattern. * Lower carbohydrate intake Eat less processed carbohydrates and let most of your carbs come from veggies and fruits. * Increase protein intake Eat more animal protein and don't just rely on vegetarian protein (due to veggies containing anti nutrients and more heavy metals per serving) * Increase fat intake Eat more animal fats that works wonders together with the animal protein, and eat less processed seed oils. * Intermittent fasting Let the period when you don't eat during the 24 hours of day be maybe 18-20 hours long. For example eat a big breakfast at 8 am and a big lunch at 1 pm and try to not eat until breakfast the next morning. Water you can and should drink throughout the day. Tea and coffee are generally ok during fasting but without the sugar or milk.

[@marencruickshank]

Thank you

[@STBRetired1]

So, in other words, this is just the Keto diet. Nothing new. Same old scam and snake oil fad.

[@Ahldor]

@@STBRetired1 Keto and similar low carb diets have been shown to dramatically improve the health status of diabetics and pre diabetics, so keto evidently can have a positive health effect. Studies also suggest that we should decrease the omega 6 fat (less sunflower oil etc.) and increase omega 3 fat (more salmon etc.) so that the ratio isn't larger than 4 to 1 for an optimal health. There are individual aspects to take into account when it comes to a healthy diet, like your genes history - what your great great grandparents ate shaped thir genes and gene expressions and so on. A diet that is optimal for you may not be optimal for me. Some new research even suggest your body could be analyzed to deduce the optimal diet for you.
