I am a South African medical doctor, working in South Africa and follow a lot of research work including Dr Bickman's. Every day I wish we had been told these at medical school. Our professors taught us the standard of care and told us it is evidence based. Today my colleagues speak ill of me, some say I am fake. Seeing things weren't going to change, I opened my own hospital in my local town and are practicing Functional Health Care. It is so rewarding! The people we have helped run into big numbers and with my team we are hard at work.

[@crocodilegrundee4514]

Thank the Lord for doctors like you, and researchers like Dr Bikman and Dr Ken Berry. Maybe the standards of care will change because the way they are now is killing and destroying lives.

I feel Mr Bennett’s frustration with his parents’s declining health. I watched my dad die of T2 diabetes while my step mom ignored anything I told her about not feeding him so much sugar products to include Ensure shakes. It was heartbreaking. 😢

[@ginabrenton4923]

I am a nurse practitioner & have never heard this information given so clearly & intelligently … EXCELLENT !!!!!

[@gerrysecure5874]

Completely agree. I lost only 4kg (5%) in one year with exercise and trying to eat less all the time. Didn't work great. Then I cut carbs (no bread, pasta, potatoes, sweet stuff), added walking and easy cycling, then 16/8 fasting 2 meals high protein and fat, and I lost 8kg (10%) within 2 month. And I was not hungry. Key is low intensity exercise to keep blood sugar stable and not drop low.

[@RibeyeRules]

low intensity is effective more-so due to not triggering cortisol allowing fat to burn

[@lorysipel6823]

I wish I had found this information 20 years ago. I was diagnosed type 2 in 2003 with a fasting blood sugar above 650. I have had all of these symptoms for at least part of the past 20 years and am hoping that it isn't too late to repair. I was up to 350 units of insulin per day 6 months ago, but with long term water fasts for the past 2 months, I am completely off of the meds. Thank you so much!

[@christinakuczora4862]

About 25 years ago I had several skin tags on my neck. I had heard thru a functional/alternative medicine organization this was a sign of insulin resistance/metabolic disorder and impending diabetes. I asked my regular allopathic doctor if this was so and he laughingly told me no. Typical run of the mill American doctor was clueless.

Except for the fact that he walked right up to the line and then didn't commit. He didn't say don't eat carbohydrates. He said eat so-called good carbohydrates. He said it wouldn't be palatable for him to tell the truth and say that people should eat a primarily carnivore diet. But that is what we should eat and he wasn't willing to say it.

[@charlenewilliams219]

@@Kyarrix overtime. I’ve listened to Dr. Ben Beckman a number of times he has said on several occasions when he eats his evening meal with his family he chooses to eats like the rest of the family. He’s gone on bike rides with the family and had candy, mind you he realizes he also said that he’ll bike hard to try to burn down the carbs but yeah he does at times eat carbs. I’m not saying he has a large amount and I do believe he practises what he preaches.

[@fieryelf]

I always thought the idea of giving someone who's insulin resistant more insulin to "Cure" them ridiculous. My grandfather pretty much killed himself doing that because at some point he figured he'd regulate his insulin intake himself while eating even more sugary food. He almost lost a leg in the process when he was at the hospital and was making kind of a recovery. Then he felt like eating pizza while he was still at the hospital and the moronic doctor in charge that day gave him the go to eat whatever he wanted. He didn't last too long after that. I'm starting to think doctors nowadays get their medical degree in the same place their patients got Type 2 Diabetes... A cereal box...

There's a couple very interesting articles that established a STRONG correlation between insulin resistance (lifestyle choices of too little strength & cardio exercise, too much refined foods & sweets or alcohol most often). They treated the group with Metformin (prediabetes drug) and they saw a significant pain reduction. Not ironic at all

Very wrong! Keto is absolutely the worst. Eggs and fat and animal protein will KILL you much sooner. 46:11

[@kellio8087]

My insulin resistant symptoms were misdiagnosed as anxiety by 2 doctors. The doctors only prescribed me anti-anxiety meds. It's probably because I told them that my job (at the time) was causing me extreme stress. I tried to tell them I think its something more but they kept dismissing it as just anxiety even after blood work. Since the doctors couldn't help me, I knew I had to try to help myself. My diet had been very bad (lots of sugar & carbs) coupled with high stress which is what lead to the super bad symptoms. After lots of research, I decided I would need to lower my stress levels by quiting my high stress job and then change to a healthier diet. I chose a anti-inflammatory diet. After a few months, my symptoms were gone. It's been almost a year now and my symptoms never returned.

[@Acts-1322]

Great job! Not enough people in our culture care about being healthy. Hope you've started strength training & cardio as well 💪😊

That was interesting about the 1 year fast. To recap what I think I heard, it tells me that insulin stores what our bodies need and keeps doing it as we eat more and more carbs, until we become fat. This man's body was able to survive because of the stored nutrients, namely fat. When I started the carnivore diet I barely ate, but I had excess fat, about 20lbs. It was about 3 months later, after eating very little meat/fat, I started to eat more. The body had used up the stored fat, so I was hungrier, if I have it right. thank you for interviewing Dr. Bikman.

The reason it didn’t work is quite simply because people didn’t follow the advice ! If they had then there would be no obesity and health crisis. Being overweight and not exercising is a huge contributor to the world health crisis. The current obsession with Keto is going to reap untold long term damage - look at Paul Saladino’s experience. Intake of dietary fibre has the highest correlation with a reduction in all cause mortality. Insulin production is a fantastic evolutionary trait and just to put the record straight Whey Protein powder spikes insulin ok.

For every medical hacking at the roots of insulin resistance there are tens of thousands of medical professionals treating the leaves.

I went all in and cut insulin spiking foods, ie all processed foods and grains, and fasted from 7pm to 11 a.m. Wow , I dropped 12 lbs in 3 weeks. I walked and did some resistance bands to tone up. M😊uscle helps to burn fat as well.

Dr.Bikman can you PLEASE do a video on hypoglycemia?

[@SouthCarole]

Fabulous! So many thanks!!! A little question is about the fact that often people don’t eat because they feel hunger but just because they have the habit and lack of discipline. How would you reinforce the psicological side of this issue?. Thanks!

I have that problem. Very unhealthy relationship with food. I can snack and eat when I’m not hungry. Finally I started doing alternate day fasting. I eat one day and not the next. So for example I eat on Monday and stop eating at 7 pm. I don’t eat again until Wednesday morning. I go 36-40 hours without food, depending when I start eating on Wed morning. Then I eat normally. 2 or 3 meals but I must be done by 7. No snacking in between. Period. I am strict with myself. This has allowed me to really learn hunger from appetite. Since I am someone who can snack, snack, snack, even if I’m full, I discovered my personality is all or nothing. If I start eating I can be undisciplined and not stop, but if I’m fasting I can be super committed and not cheat. My problem is the in between state where I watch what I eat and restrict my calories. That’s when I lose control. Eating normally 4 days a week and fasting 3 days has broken my weird food addictions that I had. It also reversed my insulin resistance. On the days that I eat, i detect when I am full and I stop. I am not depriving my body, so my metabolism stays high. I have energy. I exercise. On my fast days, I am calm and peaceful. I drink water and a morning coffee with MCT oil. I only go on a long walk, 3-4 miles and go to bed early. When I eat, I only have any combination of the following foods: fish, grass fed beef, poultry, avocados, nuts, olives and olive oil, pumpkin seeds, eggs, yogurt, butter, leafy greens, cruciferous vegetables, blackberries, coffee with MCT, and fresh lemons. I make simple meals and not having many choices is the best thing for me.
