This Is The Biggest Scam in American Medical System | Dr. Benjamin Bikman

Free Download - Intermittent Fasting Quick Start Guide:
api.leadconnectorhq.com/widge...
Dr. Ben is the author of a book I frequently recommend, called Why We Get Sick.
It can be quite challenging for many women to maintain a healthy weight and good metabolic health after about forty years of age. Just about all of our fat cells are made during childhood and puberty, and when we reach our sixties or seventies, the number of our fat cells starts to decline. Insulin plays a vital role in how fat cells can change and respond to sex hormones.
In this episode, Dr. Ben talks about insulin, fat cells, and sex hormones in women.
IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN:
• The role of insulin in terms of how fat cells can change and respond to sex hormones.
• How estrogens protect women against too much fat.
• Why your diet does not require carbohydrates even though some cells need glucose.
• The effects of seed oils and carbohydrates on insulin resistance.
• How digestion relates to insulin resistance and insulin instability.
• Vitamin D deficiency will contribute to insulin resistance.
• Why you need to know what your fasting insulin number is.

recently retired MD here. When I started to work in hospital I believed everything I had been taught. But just a few years in I realised that some things just don´t fit. During my 5 Months on cardiology I observed that cholesterol levels of heart attack patients were all over the place. Some high, some average, some really low. I think that was my first lightbulb moment about 30 years ago that there was something terrible wrong about medicine and what we are taught at universities. The last three years before retirement I worked on the C-departement and than it was obvious to me that our system is not about health. It is a mix of profit and politics.

I have been on insulin for 30 yrs I’m type 2. Since March 2023 I’ve been following keto. I have reduced my insulin from 130 units down to around 55 units a day. My fasting glucose from 154 to 115. A1c from 7.9 to 6.9. If I disconnect my insulin pump then my Avge glucose rises to 140. I’m not sure what to do keep taking insulin or disconnect from insulin and try continuing my journey of keto and exercise.

If unrefined carbohydrate consumption was not part of our typical evolutionary diet, humans would not have a pancreas that produces insulin. Consumption of excessive refined carbohydrates, and artificially manufactured toxic seed oils, is likely the root cause of oxidative stress, damaged and dysfunctional mitochondria, insulin resistance, endothelial damage, and chronic disease.

[@unassailable6138]

Rubbish, Dr Cywes tried to induce liver toxicity by pumping livers with seed oils and no matter how much seed oil was pumped through the portal vein , livers wouldn't suffer any damage, when he switched to glucose/fructose though in no time livers became cirrhotic . Carnivores have pancreas, tigers , lions... meat and other protein stimulates a lot of insulin release from the pancreas.

[@hektor6766]

20 milli-international units/liter. That won't make any sense unless you know what an international unit is, and that's a standard set by scientists, usually 0.025 micrograms of cholecalciferol or ergocalciferol. Optimal fasting insulin is 5-15 mIU/L on one test, 5-12 mIU/L on the other. So she's roughly twice the optimal level.

Your "optimal levels "are wrong. For ADULTS, fasting insulin must be 6 or lower to be OPTIMAL. LOOK IT UP. Every stage of life has different optimal fasting insulin levels.

It assumes that now the woman can, of course, take exogenous estrogen but does not flat out, reject this suggestion. There is too many suggestions after this point, and the presenter should just back up abit and reiterate what was the solution he mentioned which is the problem cannot end with more estrogen. The ideal case scenario is that the woman don't take more estrogen. The ideal path of this problem is the woman relent and allow her body to age naturally. Accept a man like body. That is the best solution. Let the presenter not talk endlessly about lack of estrogen and not present a solution. 😅 Infact the presenter should say no we are not hinting that the solution is exogenous estrogen supplementation. In fact we think the women should take a less bold approach to life and accept eating less for the weight problem, exercise more and generally accept the lack of estrogen existence..😂

Thanks so much for these indepth discussions. Would you consider covering the fiber debate? Hearing well credentialed scientists and researchers debating both ends - that fiber is necessary (essential?) to feed the microbiome and even support brain fx and cognition to delay dementia (!) to those who say it is useless! Is there some middle ground also?

[@manefedu8374]

Ok, carbohydrates are not essential - ketones can be used instead - BUT in fruits and vegetables there are vitamins and minerals, and "secondary" colour giving substances, for instance vit c we cant build ourselves... so, if carbohydrates are seen not essential, what comes with them is ---? This is a question - i would be glad about a thoughtful answer...

My understanding is that vitamin c requirements diminish if eating a carnivore diet.

[@akhusal]

Glucose competes with vitamin C receptors in cells, so cutting down on glucose increases vit C availability. An egg yolk has everything needed to make bones, brain, blood etc to make a healthy chicken.

[@farmer_donny]

Meat also contains a small amount of vitamin c, enough to prevent scurvy if you cut down the carbs.

I didn’t know women need testosterone supplement. Which one do I take ?

[@mrofnocnon]

Self administered Injections are best and cheapest. In older women generally a dose of 10 mg a week will make a huge difference to how you feel. Far more attention to this issue should be made although recently many doctors have woken up and are prescribing it.

[@kimwestra2961]

Testosterone is a controlled substance and it’s a prescription. It’s not something you’ll find at the local drug store. Find a doctor in your area that does Bio-identical hormones and get your hormones tested. I had my ovaries removed early and started bio-identical hormone treatment 15 years ago. Testosterone was in the prescription in the beginning but now it isn’t. I get tested every year for the yearly prescription.

[@mrofnocnon]

@@kimwestra2961Yes of course its prescription. See an endocrinologist though not a doctor. For most post menopausal women it is very helpful in small amounts. Please bear in mind your ovaries and adrenals are your only sources of testosterone, the ovaries being the biggest contributor, you can look it up.

is it beter to drink decaffeinated coffee ?

[@hektor6766]

Caffeine stimulates the release of cortisol and adrenalin. Heavy consumption of coffee keeps your cortisol levels elevated, which increases insulin and inflammation. I switched to decaf three weeks ago. My typical blood pressure has decreased from 145/78 to 118/66. I can feel the lowered blood pressure, a relaxing, warming sensation like a mild dose of nitroglycerin, if you've ever had that. What little belly I had is melting back to washboard condition. Just turned 65, eat ketovore, weight and HIIT train already, so quitting caffeine has only been a plus.

Vegetarian diets are unsustainable, requiring expensive fertilizer but the soil is destroyed and rivers dry up turning the land into deserts.

Transporting fruit and vegetable from all around the world is wasteful when you can eat local grass fed meat.

Regenerative farming. It reverses the desertification caused by Adventist farming practices. Restores biodiversity. Does not poison the water systems. Natural part of the system.

Clean water systems. Replaced by cattle. Twenty feet of great top soil. Massive biodiversity. Clean water systems. Replaced by Adventist farming. Top soil gone. Biodiversity gone. Water systems poison. Dust bowl. Empty food. No nutrients. Always on the vege of another dust bowl. Farmers in Canada and the USA are already working at converting over.

Do either of you you have, or can direct me to info on esophageal spasms? My problem started suddenly one day, now my husband has them. (2 yrs after me, we are just 70)

[@calista1280]

Keep a Log of what you ate or did right before the spasms occur... Look closely at your close environment, water source, molds, allergens and foods... One by one remove suspected goods or objects like carpet or changed water supply/filtration Process of elimination and if it stops. reintroduce the element to see if it reoccurs. or if all clear of allergens: Possibly a nervous tic or habit that transferred because of cohabitation?

[@pat4005]

@@calista1280Those are great ideas! I'd like to add that it's possible that the couple with the sudden onset of esophageal spasms could also have changed something in their diet from one source to another, and that change could have caused the blocking of absorption of a critical nutrient. It could be a change from one brand of something to another, or even a brand of something that you have used for years could have changed it's ingredient's and contributed to your problem. I noticed that if I slip-up, and fall down the rabbit hole of allowing carbohydrates from grains to creep back into my diet, I WILL get muscle cramps. And I get a sharp (and usually quick), painful feeling in my neck that my doctor thought was carotidynia. It's a form of inflammation. But eliminating grains and vegetables from the nightshade family keeps it from happening. So your spasms may be from an inflammatory attack and/or something blocking the uptake of the essential minerals (the electrolytes: magnesium, sodium and potassium). So if you are eating grains, you may be blocking magnesium uptake, or if you replaced dairy products with awful things like soy milk, or other fake milk like almond milk, you may be disrupting things even more by eating way too much of plant lectins!

The nutritionalist who did the research for the food pyramid refused to have her name on it after the Democratic senator in charge let his Adventist cult food industry buddies change it to the monstrosity that came out. She warned them if they put it out and people followed it that there would be a massive increase in obesity, diabetics, heart attacks, strokes, depression, dementia, autoimmune disease, cancer, etc. She was right. But instead of admitting their mistake they did the vegan gaslighting thing of blaming the victims of their bad advice and pointing out the few that could stay slim, if not healthy on their death diet. Add Poly Ovarian Syndrom, PMS, autism, ADHD, low testosterone, messed up thyroid and likely much more to the list. I know many people who tried the vegan diet to lose weight and gain weight instead. They were the lucky ones. The quit before doing real damage. The semi vegan food pyramid is bad enough. But one friend lost weight and kept it off. Almost died as a result. Grey organs. White uterus. Overies disappeared. Bumps on her liver. Skin was yellow grey, except when fainting. Then green, gray. Her body stopped producing hormones. No cholesterol.
