In this interview podcast, Dr. Benjamin Bikman discusses insulin resistance, its causes, and its connection to various chronic diseases such as hypertension, Alzheimer's, erectile dysfunction, and PCOS. He explains the two pathways to insulin resistance: the fast lane (stress, inflammation, too much insulin) and the slow lane (fat cell size). Dr. Bikman also touches on evolutionary aspects, the role of ketones, and the impact of diet, exercise, and environmental toxins on insulin sensitivity. He emphasizes the importance of controlling carbohydrates, prioritizing protein, and not fearing fat, as well as the potential dangers of weight loss drugs and liposuction.
