Number one fact that is

4:30
Eat your food in the right order. Sir.
4:33
Yes, sir, Anybody listening if you're about to
4:36
have a meal. Look inside
4:38
of him. Let's say you have. Some
4:41
sick in some broccoli and
4:43
some potatoes. Okay, If
4:45
you eat. The. Elements of this
4:47
meal and a particular order. You
4:49
can reduce the glucose spite of the
4:51
meal by seventy five percent. This.
4:54
Means Miss Wage gains your cravings,
4:56
etc. The. Right order is.
4:59
That stubble First. Protein.
5:02
And stats seconds. And
5:04
starches and servers list. And
5:07
so when we do this, when we eat or vegetables
5:09
first during a meal. The. Fiber in
5:11
the vegetables. Lands in
5:13
our stomachs, then in our apprenticed
5:15
and coats the walls of our
5:17
intestine been discussed mess. And.
5:19
Then any. Starters: Sugars, Eat afterwards. we'll
5:22
be absorbed. To a lesser extent and
5:24
your blessing therefore smaller because I beg
5:26
your eating the exact same thing. And.
5:29
This is so cool and so many people
5:31
sending messages like i just simply change the
5:33
order in which are a mess and I
5:35
don't change what I ate and things. Started
5:37
changing the up. That's the number one
5:39
result I said. I often recommend people
5:41
take something called Pg X or Polyglot
5:43
Complex which is a derivative of Cognac
5:45
Route. Cognac this ah Japanese
5:48
to Berlin of root vegetable. That.
5:50
Is made into noodles. Ice axes
5:53
line Japanese cooking. And is
5:55
very biscuits in and absorbs fifty times when waters
5:57
of you take us. Some. Of this
5:59
powder before the and or even the capsules a
6:01
busy acts like a sponge of those are the
6:04
water and slows the absorption of everything's ubuntu boogers.
6:06
Doesn't. Spite. Their equal. Any. This
6:09
is really super powerful. And another
6:11
one that people love is vinegar at
6:13
a nice know that this mark and
6:16
Sake Policing. For edible. So.
6:18
The heck is the for your meals? Take a
6:21
tall glass of water like the one I'm I'm
6:23
holding now. So this is about, you know, twice
6:25
the size of a regular dance. And.
6:27
For intuit, one tablespoon of vinegar, it can
6:29
be any type of vinegar. my favorite as
6:31
apple cider vinegar. of that you know white
6:34
wine vinegar. rice vinegar also work. And
6:36
drink it up to thirty minutes before your
6:38
meal. And. In the studies,
6:40
the scientists say that the effect
6:42
of vinegar. Is almost the
6:44
same as the effect of medication
6:47
given to diabetic to reduce Because
6:49
banks. Doing This.
6:51
Because there's a molecule in vinegar called
6:54
acetic acid. and acetic acid does to
6:56
really cool things. One.
6:59
About thirty where they is to see the
7:01
cats are absolutely. Absolutely.
7:03
And they also water and vinegar right? So it's
7:05
that's one of the myself and vinegar to see
7:07
the gas and. So. It
7:10
wasn't your stomach and it talks to this
7:12
enzyme called our Families and our families. His
7:14
job is to break down starts. Into
7:17
Glucose. And. It's older enzyme. hey
7:19
girl he pleases so down your own
7:22
soil and so the enzyme work slower
7:24
so the breakdown of started into glucose
7:26
happen. So er, that's number. While. So.
7:29
Slower delivery of glucose into your bloodstream
7:31
later on. Number. Two, the sooner
7:33
the bigger you take your like a spoonful
7:35
before. Least on and water
7:37
just to be safe. Yeah, so spoonful And
7:39
the studies? You can you one tablespoon armies
7:42
and do two tablespoons. Personally, one tablespoon is
7:44
what I use because it's just. Two.
7:46
Tablespoons starts being a lot of angering. Your glass
7:48
of water. Know until students. But
7:50
I like and the second thing and does which
7:52
is incredible is that he goes to your muscles. And
7:55
it says. Hey muscles! As
7:57
soon as Bhutto's gets into the bloodstream,
8:00
the soak it up. Store.
8:02
It as glycogen is a muscle. Don't
8:04
let it float around. Farm Subsidies to
8:06
mechanisms By this to mechanisms. Glucose.
8:09
Is broken down his third rate in your
8:11
stomach and as soon as it arrives in
8:13
the bloodstream and get soaked up as a
8:15
result glucose bike reduced by to thirty percent.
8:18
And this matters because then you don't have
8:20
the glucose crash. You don't have the craving.
8:22
You don't start that savings rollercoaster that so
8:25
many of us. Are. On yet you're
8:27
eating the exact same food as disorder.
8:29
Or move. So. I want
8:31
a puppy. Rehab Me: Break down your mission.
8:33
A few things I really like to have
8:35
you breakdown: What's the symptoms
8:38

8:40
people are unaware of. That.
8:42
Are related to swings and blood
8:44
sugar. Criticized. As high
8:46

8:49
down. That. Often caused the most
8:51
having. So kind of walk

12:03
World I Be wrinkles right?
12:05
Recall aging, aging, dementia. Yes,
12:08
Heart Disease. I am surrounded
12:10
liver disease, fatty liver, Every.
12:12
Pretty much age related diseases
12:14
that aging itself. Is.
12:17
Often related to sugary shoes and.
12:19
To. Lack of insulin sensitivity which is
12:21
what happens when you make. Your
12:24
you know a guy as it is full
12:26
of started sugary with his while spikes and
12:28
sugar. Within. Their causes spike an insulin
12:30
and then sugar across. Need more marines for
12:32
just the sugar balance? And
12:34
ultimately that causes. A
12:36
whole cascade of problems that. Are.
12:39
We now know as the fundamental
12:41
drivers of aging. Yes, And
12:43
on the on the topic of aging. One thing
12:45
that really startled me that I discovered is that
12:47
every time you glucose levels spite. All.
12:49
The little sets rushing into your system it's
12:52
gonna bump into other molecules and is going
12:54
into this thing of like a sin to
12:56
the other modules. And when a
12:58
molecule is located, it's damaged. And
13:01
like a sin. Leads. To us
13:03
literally cooking from the inside like a
13:05
piece of toast in the toaster. That's
13:07
what happens. And. Then when we're
13:09
fully cooked, we died. That's why we
13:11
that's into the norm little specks in
13:13
your diet the faster you age internally,
13:16
but also externally because it leads to
13:18
wrinkles. His. Mine just really is.
13:21
Yes tremor I remember of of
13:23
the this Longevity conference out that
13:25
member is. It's. To which is a.
13:28
In the center which is by Robert there are
13:30
men who is a Buddhist scholar and he had
13:32
the Die Lama. Their noise to bend scholars blossom.
13:34
Nobel prize winners. And. Scientists About
13:36
longevity. And there was when
13:38
when he got to their from M I
13:40
T who discovered Sir Two wins and the
13:43
role of. Of Life Extension
13:45
mice by activating Sir to unzip
13:47
spare tron the compounds. And
13:49
I said in a these master regulators
13:51
like. Of. Age or how? how are
13:54
the a regulated? What's who's a mop out
13:56
of The work is as it's sugar. Sugar
13:58
is the biggest. Problem. That
14:00
we have in terms of. Not. Allowing
14:02
these ones cherry switches to work
14:04
properly. And so we literally
14:07
turn off along Chevy Switch. Wish.
14:09
We should have rapidly so raging. For.
14:11
Me: over consume sugar and I would say starches.
14:13
Well, I mean it's the same as sugar as
14:16
you can eat a bagel Aura. Sugar.
14:18
As the same thing. Yeah. And
14:20
so weren't wind up in this situation where we
14:22
know it's bad for us. And we
14:24
know we need to avoid Lucas thanks to often. People.
14:27
Can the and at last as to where to begin? Does
14:29
it mean I should never eat starts and sugar again? That
14:31
feels. Very draconian for most people. And
14:34
so whatever developed or undies ten principles
14:36
be sued. Friends are. Yeah. Allow
14:38
you to keep your glucose levels steady without
14:40
giving up all the sewage he love
14:42
because personally might any the chocolate cake for
14:45
my birthday. I'm not going to have
14:47
a Brussels Sprouts low carb, no sugar take
14:49
like I need succeed. Take this. Is. Not
14:51
an original tired care that such a
14:53
success for your that better human. Than I
14:56
am but like I love sugar and so. When
14:58
I first discovered Do Brother
15:00
Glucose, my Fasting Glucose and
15:02
Ninety Four. I was
15:04
twenty three years old and know aside
15:07
and through my hats, I've lowered it
15:09
to seventy nine. Without. Using up.
15:12
All the stuff I love. And and as
15:14
to hack So we got the timing of when
15:16
you eat what you eat when right, vegetable protein
15:18
and starts. The. And and the vinegar before
15:20
you see what else? So.
15:23
If. Anybody is still having a sweet. Breakfast.
15:25
This is a very important hacked habit. of
15:27
course nobody i was in his podcast ever
15:29
eat breakfast because they remove your podcast and
15:31
they know that we should not have dessert
15:34
for breakfast. But to see case you haven't
15:36
heard many the bad guys in cases of
15:38
the first part that's not and through. Mississippi.
15:41
Have a savory breakfast. So in the studies that
15:43
they've done is they've taken two groups of people
15:45
and they give them they've given them. To. Breakfasts,
15:48
One. Of two breakfast same number of calories
15:51
we. Know, calories don't count, but still, it's important
15:53
to mention this. One. Group
15:55
had a breakfast that spikes there because levels
15:57
the other group had a breakfast that kept
15:59
surgical. Level Steady. What?
16:01
Happened was. In. The group
16:03
that had especially breakfast. They
16:06
got hungry again after two hours.
16:08
Whereas. The group and a steady glucose
16:10
breakfast. Didn't get hungry for five hours.
16:12
so was curves. Yeah, of course the
16:14
curve of your Brooks's really determines a
16:16
hygienist feel for the rest of the
16:18
day and whether you gonna feel in
16:20
control and connected to your body. Or.
16:23
Whether watching by that bakery has been that.

Else you said ten things. There's a lot
20:49
more he now. I'll give you one more
20:51
than the rest of my blood glucose evolution.
20:53
That's. One more is putting clothes
20:55
on your cards. To.
20:57
Would you? I mean Do Not Let. You go
20:59
on, your carbs are from don't own
21:02
a car doors know, naked, Current, know
21:04
neck and I. Still
21:06
wasn't a naked in our a
21:08
second half. so. A Naked time
21:10
is sugar or starts that you're eating
21:12
on it's own. Naked uses
21:15
it Naked and it lands make any
21:17
fates And did Leukocyte. So.
21:19
To put clothes on your cards. What
21:21
you do is any time you eat
21:23
something sweets or something starchy. You.
21:25
Make sure to put some protein
21:28
sat or. Fiber on it's. You.
21:30
Put some clothes on that. Some.
21:32
Example. I'm. Going into
21:35
the chocolate cake example. I put
21:37
Greek yogurt on it if I ever wanna. in
21:39
the middle of the day. if you want a
21:41
piece of Sarajevo bread, puts an avocado on it.
21:44
He. Had some butter on it. If you ever
21:46
want to eat some rice has some eggs with
21:48
it since the then some greens are you such
21:50
thing? As. Brilliant. I think
21:53
I think we. The. Idea that
21:55
we need to not be eating any of this
21:57
stuff. In. A way that
21:59
spicer. But here is T M or learning or
22:01
you are in a few bedroom your butts here
22:03
for years and tracking everything. Is. How
22:05
different foods affect you? With.
22:07
The biology and with happening when
22:09
your blood sugar outta control, what
22:12
happens to your microbiome, to human
22:14
system, to your brain to your
22:16
hormones take us through what actually
22:18
happens in the body when you
22:20
are eating the average American night.
22:22
Yeah. So. There's.
22:24
Sort of. For things that I think our
22:27
our kind of worth focusing on, there's there's
22:29
the direct effects. As High Blood said
22:31
are, so you eat. Something and your blood
22:33
sugar spikes and a nurse biological effects of that
22:35
And then there is a for thing which is
22:38
the long term success in terms of those short
22:40
term things like you drink coke and your blood.
22:42
Sugar Guys that some seventy five Mcgrath
22:44
rest later, one hundred fifty milligrams per
22:47
deciliter stat. Blood Sugar spikes. Can
22:49
cause like Haitian a can cause
22:51
authors. Slimy wouldn't work is a
22:53
his is itself. Like he soon
22:55
as the process where sugar just sticks
22:57
to things in your body. It's actually
22:59
just like sugar molecules sticking a thing
23:02
like Sas and proteins and and dna
23:04
and that can cause dysfunction. It can
23:06
cause those years cellular on parts to
23:08
be dysfunctional and so that's that's an
23:11
issue we don't want that. It can
23:13
generate inflammation and media lead to this
23:15
huge surge of sugar is. Unusual for
23:17
the body. you know it's like what? What is going
23:19
on? Why Is. Why is this big change?
23:22
This sort of homeostatic shift happening on
23:24
we don't want that on and then
23:26
again cause I say of stress which
23:28
is sort of this reaction where your
23:31
body's producing on metabolic buy products that
23:33
are react app and can be damaging
23:35
to the south said is unparalleled trance
23:37
like all around and want to buy
23:40
for thanks it's rusting exactly south big
23:42
Lucas spike you can have immediate effects
23:44
on off their stress that he send
23:46
them on a sense and then the
23:48
fourth thing is this distance. Thing
23:51
that's happening both immediately but also really has
23:53
killed or facts which is the insulin surge
23:55
south when you have that big glucose space
23:57
your pancreas as releasing all this and. When
24:00
to help you. Soak, Up
24:02
the glucose out of the bloodstream into the
24:04
south or can be process and bring the
24:06
glucose back down and what can happen there
24:09
in the short term is that if you
24:11
got a big spike so that big up
24:13
and down on the insulin can actually sometimes
24:15
overshoot it can actually do to get a
24:18
job and soaking up are like loose us
24:20
and you can have what's called react of
24:22
hypoglycemia us which colloquial he is known as
24:25
the post meal crash So if you've had
24:27
lines and then after lunch feel tired and
24:29
you want to have that second cup of
24:31
coffee. At one pm and made you
24:33
feel a little bit more anxious. That
24:35
might just be the fact that your
24:38
blood sugar has gone up. You really
24:40
saw this insulin. The insulin center overshot,
24:42
you crashed down, and now you're in
24:44
this death and the body's trying to
24:46
get back into balance And that that
24:48
roller. Coaster workers was for hundred
24:50
cascade of hunger. Hormone. Breathing human
24:52
beings Exactly. And so that's happening in
24:54
the short term And a not insulin
24:56
process going bachelor. talking about the fourth
24:59
in over time lead that insulin resistance?
25:01
Where the South see that huge surgeon
25:03
insulin so frequently that they actually say.
25:06
We. Can't keep doing this. The other
25:08
is too much insulin and we get
25:10
numb to it and us insulin resistance
25:12
and then what happens is your insulin
25:15
levels. they start creeping up because your
25:17
body's trying to overcompensate for that blocks
25:19
by producing more and a not leads
25:21
to so many of the down stream
25:23
on conditions that you know we've been
25:25
talking about when you got this high
25:28
insulin one of the secondary effects of
25:30
that on let's just mean talk about
25:32
obesity Enough. Insulin is
25:34
a signal to the body that glucose is
25:36
around for energy and it's also signal a
25:38
body that because there's so much because around
25:40
we'll need to use that for energy. Glucose
25:43
in fat Of the two main ways that
25:45
we produce energy in the body and when
25:47
that influence hi it blocks us from tapping
25:49
in to fat burning. It says the body
25:51
know you don't need to tap into fat
25:53
burning. We got a bunch of Glucose around
25:56
and so this is relevant to anyone who
25:58
is trying to lose weight or. The
26:00
access belly fat because that insulin as
26:02
a real block and helping us achieve
26:04
those goals and so on for us
26:06
to tap into our. Copious.
26:09
Fat stores and our bodies, we need
26:11
the insulin to be lower. So by
26:13
getting off that glucose roller coaster by
26:15
eating foods that keep us more flat
26:17
and stable throughout the day which is
26:19
what we want for optimal health both
26:22
in the short term and the long
26:24
term, we give our body a break
26:26
from producing not insulin and that can
26:28
have a real significant impact on our
26:30
ability to on to lose weight to
26:32
kind of get rid of that guy
26:35
that to tap into this alternate ah
26:37
metabolic a fuel source and. To generate
26:39
what we call metabolic flexibility which is
26:41
this ability of the by to flip
26:43
between using glucose when it's around and
26:45
using fat when it's not around. and
26:48
that state of being able to do
26:50
both is a really healthy state. It's
26:52
it's adaptive. But the average American with
26:54
the vast majority of our calories coming
26:56
from alter processed foods and I believe.
26:59
More. Than seventy percent are processed foods
27:01
in a Us have refined sugar and
27:03
then and we've been told of course
27:05
to eat six small meals a day.
27:07
You are on as an American this
27:10
up and down glucose. Roller coaster.
27:12
All. Day and see, you really never
27:14
giving your body this time in a
27:17
low insulin state, so you realize you
27:19
have to be quite aware and. Think.
27:22
Differently. I mean. The reality is
27:24
as an American Idol you're on a
27:26
treadmill towards being overweight and chronic disease
27:28
unless you are doing something different or
27:30
you will end up sack and now
27:33
that's were having a little more aware
27:35
now I think can be held phone.
27:37
A person and older you mentioned earlier for
27:39
the really to this little really to. Butcher
27:42
really big dib usually the butcher
27:45
board about cancer and alzheimer's and
27:47
depression, heart disease, And. So
27:49
many other issues in fertility. Go!
27:52
You mentioned yeah, so dysfunctional. The
27:54
Smiths? yeah Act me. I mean
27:56
whatever you do is is is
27:58
unbelievable. How. Much. Our
28:00
modern. Ailments and how many
28:02
was ailments are driven by this single
28:05
process night. and you don't have to
28:07
treat all these diseases separately if you
28:09
dealt with that. Than. These
28:11
other things will get better. There's
28:13
three primary causes of insulin resistance.
28:15
In by primary, I mean that
28:18
literally I can cause insulin resistance
28:20
in isolated cells in laboratory, wrote
28:22
in and in humans with all
28:25
three of these and that is
28:27
elevated insulin itself. Elevated stress
28:29
hormones and elevated inflammatory proteins or
28:32
cytokine. All three of those things
28:34
are considered primary in my definition,
28:36
because you can just. Make
28:39
making some resistance happened to the cell in
28:41
the rodents and in humans all three biomedical
28:43
models, but in the as you were kind
28:46
of alluding to. The if we
28:48
were to tell someone or a cure it
28:50
but there are others like you said like
28:52
noxious toxins that can accumulate fat cells and
28:54
ultrafast so growth. Absolutely that is relevant, Improve
28:56
on or is. I'm not suggesting that there
28:58
aren't others there are on but I cannot
29:00
put these ones is the kind of holy
29:02
trinity or the unholy trinity. Have been some
29:05
resistance. But. We will tell someone
29:07
control your stress and they would say
29:09
will great.com I gonna do that. Are
29:11
you know it? It's a little difficult. Stress is one
29:13
of those difficult things to truly wrap your head around,
29:15
but sniffing still. You'd mentioned like meditation.
29:18
quite I hope. Holy agree with that I'm
29:20
but even still, it's a little difficult to
29:22
fully manage stress. Same with inflammation. We would
29:24
say lower your information, it's it will. How
29:27
do I do that? You know we have
29:29
to find out What's the what are the
29:31
stimuli that are inducer net increase in that
29:33
immune a level. But if we say control
29:36
your insulin. Easy. Easy.
29:39
That is a lever we can grab
29:41
with both hands and immediately start to
29:44
pull down Just through time restricted eating,
29:46
an intermittent fasting, and by just managing
29:48
macro nutrients. Than. And it's
29:50
altering that ratio of focusing more on
29:52
that foods that have the lower effect
29:55
on insulin like in fat and protein
29:57
and controlling the starchy as of the
29:59
carbohydrates. The most sugary no neither you
30:01
nor I are declaring war on carbohydrates are
30:04
heat for someone to leave this talk an
30:06
ugly just discussion Thinking we are we're not
30:08
Your neither of us is advocating a
30:10
carnivore diet. But. We are certainly.
30:13
Mind you is don't get your
30:15
carbohydrates from bags and boxes with
30:17
barcodes. However, I'd read.
30:20
The. Ago I love alliteration. sunglasses preceded I've
30:22
been biases and bars. Dancer: I'm good at
30:24
the that's where people get it wrong right?
30:27
They're they're they're They're thinking I needed the have
30:29
a back to a box of crackers or a
30:31
bag of chips or a box of cereal. Know.
30:34
Don't eat fruits vegetables eat I'm I'm I'm
30:36
an advocate of fruits and as to be
30:38
of eat him but don't drink on and
30:41
don't get I'm in processed foods yeah box.
30:43
Mark Martin. My. Joke is I was
30:45
a carbohydrate or the single most important food
30:47
for health and longevity. right?
30:50
And what I mean by that is that. Plants.
30:52
Are carbohydrates? Broccoli is a carbohydrate.
30:54
Have a spare. Go to the
30:56
carbohydrates. Vow of those are the
30:58
ones you wanna He not the
31:01
ones that come from the factory
31:03
or or from ah shit us
31:05
A process agreed. If you're mention
31:07
what bags and boxes the barcodes.
31:09
What I'd I'd like to set
31:11
of going to now is an
31:13
understanding of some of the challenges
31:15
and controversies around. fact. I
31:17
wrote a book called the Sack yet
31:19
been where he talks about this Bucks
31:22
know there's still a sense that. Your.
31:24
Cholesterol is a big problem is saturated
31:27
fat is the devil. And. That
31:29
we should not be eating it. Butter.
31:32
Cream. Coconut. Oil
31:34
or animal food saturated
31:36
fats. Talk. To
31:39
us about the biology of what happens when
31:41
we increase fat and why why doesn't work
31:43
in the same where we can can. Also,
31:45
if you can speak to the heterogeneity in
31:48
the population because there are subsets of people
31:50
who do raised with hisashi fat guys and
31:52
those who don't and I'm gonna give you
31:54
a quick scenario, that and and then. You
31:57
can kind of riff on how we start thinking about. It. I
32:00
had a woman about you know late
32:02
late forties woman who was struggling with
32:04
her way are inflamed. try to do
32:06
good to exercise a pretty healthy wasn't
32:09
you know off the rails with her.
32:11
Eating at her triglycerides were three four
32:13
hundred or cluster of a three hundred
32:15
or Hdr was like thirty and was
32:17
a terrible numbers of meal which is
32:19
classic a pre diabetes in some resistance
32:21
arm and I select. Need. A
32:24
prolonged thing for us to strike
32:26
eugenic type two happens. you know,
32:28
no harm, no foul. She did
32:30
it and was remarkable her her
32:32
knowledge lose twenty pounds like that
32:34
but her levels information came down.
32:36
Her triglycerides dropped to three hundred
32:38
points for Hdr when up thirty
32:40
points which you never see her
32:42
total cholesterol dropped one hundred points
32:44
by eating butter and computer me
32:47
and yet another. Another guy was
32:49
a very thin fit. Mid.
32:51
Fifties guy who was a. Milli
32:54
Greyson Bicycle. Rider. He
32:56
wrote thirty fifty miles a Day. Ah,
32:59
and he decided he wanted tried
33:01
for performance reasons not to lose
33:03
weight and his numbers went completely
33:05
opposite. He got very high levels
33:08
of cholesterol, very high levels of small
33:10
particles I just it was just remarkable
33:12
see the difference and I episode of
33:14
both the up to the fact that
33:16
there isn't a one spice size fits
33:18
all regards this So with that framework
33:20
take us down understanding of you know
33:22
if we are going to be reducing
33:24
our carbohydrates starchy sugary carbohydrates and we're
33:26
going to be increasing our fats How
33:28
do we do that and what's throw
33:30
saturated fat and she with the worried
33:32
and how's it work. Yeah. Yeah,
33:35
the great question. So my post doctoral
33:37
work on really was seminal in that
33:39
it scrutinized the degree to which. A
33:42
fatty acids themselves can contribute insulin
33:44
resistance in this is a conversation
33:46
and I'm passionate about because so
33:48
many people start beating the drum.
33:51
Of saturated fats and use
33:53
it as evidence against animal
33:55
products Because animal products do
33:57
contain saturated fats in variable.
34:00
Now they're never completely saturated fat
34:02
nets important. There's. A mix
34:04
of saturated pod nano in
34:06
polyunsaturated fats, Friend. Now
34:09
what? The runway? Also, what are the same?
34:11
There's like ten or twelve different saturated fat.
34:13
so they're not like, oh my gosh. Yeah,
34:15
yeah, yeah, oh there's there's There's dozens of
34:17
them. Yeah, that's right. gets set. I'm a
34:20
huge advocate of. Of have a
34:22
full spectrum of stats namely of saturated fats
34:24
in long chain which we get a lot
34:26
of medium chain and shortly but I'm. Putting.
34:29
That to the side on there it
34:31
when you incubate a cell if you
34:33
have a cell culture, whether it is
34:36
the muscle cells, liver cells, neurons, I'm
34:38
fat cells in the view. Incubate those
34:40
fat cells with palmitic acid which is
34:43
the prevalence saturated fat in the human
34:45
body, but certainly in circulation Palmer Taken
34:47
or the sixteen carbon saturated fat when
34:50
you incubate cells with Palmer to eat.
34:52
On day or stearic acid even eighteen
34:54
I'm eating carbons they will become insulin
34:57
resistant. I'm in. So you've treated with
34:59
the Sas when you put on some
35:01
insulin a little later than measure of
35:03
the new take all the cells and
35:05
measure would insulin did in it is
35:07
compromised. Well that doesn't happen. When.
35:09
You incubator cells with mano,
35:11
unsaturated or polyunsaturated fat. The.
35:14
It will not cause direct cellular
35:16
insulin resistance. So so I've done
35:18
these studies myself. Maybe the most
35:20
cited study of mine I've ever
35:22
done was this exact. And. Series
35:24
of studies. So and with the same
35:26
thing happens in rodents. When
35:28
you infuse the rodent with that
35:30
we infusing a directly I v
35:32
the saturated fat will cause insulin
35:34
resistance, but the Minoan saturated like
35:36
olive oil for example doesn't so
35:39
there is a direct effect. Of
35:41
saturated fats at the sell to cause
35:43
insulin resistance in. This is all once
35:45
you actually get into the sell itself.
35:48
It's. Because of how the stats
35:50
will induce the accumulation of another
35:52
molecule called Sarah Minds. And.
35:54
If anyone has ever heard ceremony in the audience,
35:56
they might be thinking of it as like in
35:58
lotions or shampoos and. But but
36:01
it it it is a slightly different version of it. But.
36:03
Saturated fats will induce the
36:05
accumulation of these molecules called
36:07
ceremonies with initial and sarah
36:09
minds will directly prevent insulin.
36:12
The. Infant biochemical pathway from doing his
36:14
job. Is it it directly antagonizes would
36:16
instance trying to do such the actual
36:19
where the rubber meets the road molecular
36:21
mediator. So now to zoom back out
36:23
to the level of the whole body.
36:25
Some people look at those studies, even
36:27
possibly my own. And. Will use
36:30
that as evidence against saturated fat
36:32
and they will see see saturated
36:34
fat causes insulin resistance but. It
36:37
doesn't work when you actually go to
36:39
the whole body and look at the
36:41
consumption of fat. This. Is
36:43
the paradox? the vast majority,
36:46
overwhelming majority of saturated fat
36:48
in our blood is Paul
36:50
Mitigate. But. It's not from the diet,
36:52
it comes from the liver. Your. Liver
36:54
is the primary source of saturated fats
36:56
that are circulating in the blood. The
36:58
when you assume that's right and sat.
37:01
There packaged into the Carlo micron and
37:03
there can be some depositing of that
37:06
throughout the body, but it goes to
37:08
deliver and and deliverable repackage all that
37:10
fat in almost always. The. Short
37:12
the saturated fat. Will have to
37:14
things happen to them. They get a long
37:17
gated by to carbon steel. take that sixteen
37:19
carbon. Palmer. To this is the
37:21
most prevalent saturated fat. We take that sixty
37:23
carbon. we make it into an eight and
37:25
carbon and then we d saturated. Their.
37:27
These two steps and so we end
37:29
up taking the plummeted in the diet
37:32
and turning it into a lake acid
37:34
were the primary olive oil of oil
37:36
and that is the primary stat that
37:38
is stored in every single person's fat
37:40
cells. So even voicing survey for your
37:42
liver makes olive oil on on. Also
37:44
the fat cells turn it in the
37:46
all of welp or the developers makes
37:49
comity. Yet. So when we
37:51
eat saturated fats, The the body
37:53
will turn it into olive oil basically
37:55
but when the liver is making fat
37:57
it makes saturated fats in so. This
38:00
is why you can take someone and put
38:02
them on a security and it died. Low
38:04
carb, High fat and they could be eating
38:07
three times more saturated fat when they
38:09
were before the the other group. the know
38:11
in the low fat, high carb group, three
38:13
times more saturated fat and yet the actual
38:16
composition of fatty acid in their. Lipoproteins
38:18
in their blood is much
38:20
less saturated, so the actual
38:22
amount of saturated fat circulating
38:24
in their blood. Is
38:26
much lower than it is if someone is
38:29
eating a diet that spiking their insulin. Because.
38:31
Most of the saturated fat in the blood
38:33
which is what's coming to the cells throughout
38:35
the body on you know the phenomenon that
38:38
I mentioned a moment ago. Most.
38:40
Of the saturated fat is coming from
38:42
the liver in the liver makes saturated
38:44
fat when insulin is up. This is
38:46
a process called Liquid Genesis and Palmer
38:49
Tate my for Generalist. Yep!
38:51
Like regenesis. Yup, and insulin is what
38:53
turns out on. And that's the paradox
38:55
here. Relief to put a kind of
38:57
my point or ends on insulin. Starchy,
38:59
refined carbs? Yeah, yes sir. And Star
39:02
Trek okay where he has ruled out
39:04
others are. So what you're saying is
39:06
that if you eat saturated fat, In.
39:09
Your diet. From. Animal
39:11
Protein or Dairy or Cogliano.
39:13
It gets turned into. Olive
39:16
Oil in your fat cells. That's
39:19
right. You actually eat sugar
39:21
and starts. It. Turns on
39:23
the fat production factory in your
39:25
liver to make saturated fat. That's.
39:28
Right You makes it such as have
39:30
this coming from eating sugar People don't
39:33
get this connection is ago Sugar sugar.
39:35
How does extend the fact that but
39:37
there's a mechanism by which these sugars.
39:40
Cause. The
39:42
production of. Saturated. Fat
39:44
and your blood which is what's causing a lot
39:46
of a problem. You. Have given some
39:48
one two punch? Absolutely. It's of events
39:51
of being a one two punch where
39:53
these the starchy sugary carbs will both
39:55
act as the skeleton will deliver, will
39:57
take those carbons and rearrange them to.
40:00
Create a saturated fat. And
40:02
at the same time. The starchy, sugary carbs
40:04
are increasing influence which is what's the
40:06
it, which is what's driving the signal.
40:08
That's the signal to tell the liver
40:10
to do that in the first place.
40:12
Because deliver will not make sat out
40:14
of carbs and less insulin is elevated,
40:16
it is antithetical. It is impossible for
40:18
the liver to do because like every
40:20
cell in the body. Insulin.
40:22
Tells deliver what to do with the energy
40:25
that it has available. And when insulin
40:27
as up. One of the things at
40:29
once the river to do is turn
40:31
the carbs into turn the glucose. Those
40:33
carbons intersect and the only Sat delivers
40:35
making and and packaging and releasing his
40:37
palm. It's a deathmatch room for him.
40:40
That's incredible. So I wanna
40:42
I wanna. Go down
40:44
little bit into. The. The
40:47
takeoffs, And. I guess I said
40:49
when a recap a little bit and then I want
40:51
to ask you what what we can do a success
40:53
because it seems to me that what you're saying is
40:55
that. This whole host of chronic
40:57
diseases. Is. Is driven by.
41:00
Or. Affected. By.
41:02
This. Phenomenon in some resistance. And
41:05
it's the biggest scourge causing. Eighty.
41:08
Percent of Americans to have poor metabolic health.
41:12
Second, Is in ninety five and of people
41:14
and ninety percent of people with Conrad. To have it
41:16
so bad they have to go to the hospital. That's.
41:18
right? That's right. And the second thing is
41:20
that. We. We.
41:22
Understand that the way in which.
41:25
Insulin resistance has controlled is
41:27
through. Primarily.
41:30
Diet. And. And I want to go through
41:32
a few the other factors to but primarily diet. And.
41:34
Is primarily the starch and are sugar
41:36
which is enormous in this country is
41:38
sixty seventy percent of our diet. It's
41:40
using the form of flour and hidden
41:43
sugars. In our daughter added sugars, about
41:45
one hundred forty two pounds of sugar
41:47
in on and thirty three pounds of
41:49
flour. Ah, recently crazy us to
41:51
a data you know that's almost a pound
41:53
a day of sugar and flour per person
41:55
per day. It's. Stag. it's staggering
41:58
which are human biology never. Labour
42:00
with exposed to rights. We only twenty two teaspoons
42:02
a year if we found some berries or honey.
42:04
Now it's twenty two teaspoons per day for the
42:06
average adult in about thirty five for kids. And
42:10
in three com. That
42:12
that by changing the quality of
42:14
our diet. In other words,
42:16
reducing starchy refined carbs are increasing
42:19
good fats. Or maybe even
42:21
saturn fact we can actually. Stop.
42:23
This process which is underlying everything that goes
42:26
wrong with us. we stage. And
42:29
that I'm and that there's some. Heterogeneity
42:32
in the population, but we need to figure out
42:34
one how to diagnose in. Want to talk
42:36
about that? To. Then how to
42:38
treat it because if we understand this is
42:41
the problem. In. One What a
42:43
What A. People. Listening
42:45
need to do to find out if they
42:47
have this problem and start their. Yeah.
42:50
Yeah well I signed on. the mayor I got
42:52
has the jiggled test but yeah yeah he asked
42:55
why I will. I will try not to be
42:57
to redundant what you said but I would say
42:59
anyone has any potential. Get your insulin measured. And
43:02
you'd mentioned some wonderful metrics I've always said
43:04
below six I think you symbol of five.
43:06
Am I think that's a brilliant way to
43:09
do it? And now at the same time,
43:11
Insulin, like every hormones, has a bit of
43:13
a rhythm to it. There's
43:15
a diurnal were circadian rhythm so it's possible someone
43:17
would go get their insulin checked and maybe it's
43:20
it's twelve or thirteen or someone you knew and
43:22
I both would say like the will hi we
43:24
need to be a little worried but it's it's
43:26
possible the person is measured it at a peak.
43:29
In. That in reality that give it an
43:31
hour or two later and would have gone
43:33
down to to find it is possible. So
43:35
I think it is important to note that
43:38
are other things like challenging it in a
43:40
dynamic glucose test the you'd mentioned that is
43:42
absolute gold standard alternatively. In another
43:44
metric you'd mentioned is looking at lifted
43:46
because insults and trolls the production of
43:49
fat in the regulation of lipoproteins in
43:51
the body because lipoproteins are energetic molecules
43:53
in so look at the triglyceride to
43:55
each the ratio. And if a
43:58
person has a triglyceride to each, the. Ratio
44:00
and it's above one point five.
44:02
That strong evidence that they're insulin
44:04
resistant. Now that ratio doesn't hold
44:06
across all ethnicities, starts to get
44:08
a little looser. You know, from
44:10
Caucasians to Asians to African Americans
44:12
are so. But nevertheless, That.
44:15
Ratio of one point five is generally gonna be
44:17
a pretty good indicator that if your lower than
44:19
that. If for triglyceride each, the
44:21
ratios lower. That's a good sign that you're
44:23
in some sensitive. On the good
44:25
old fashioned waste to hip ratio are
44:27
the ways to height ratio. If
44:30
you measure your waist. Like the
44:32
biggest part around your belly. And. If
44:34
you multiply that by two with that
44:36
number is higher than your hike. That's
44:38
a very, very good indicator that you
44:41
have metabolic syndrome or insulin resistance. To
44:43
be more precise, if your waist circumference
44:45
times to is less than your height,
44:47
that's a good sign that you're generally
44:49
doing okay. I'm in and
44:51
one other metric. Among. Many.
44:54
Is what's on the skin. And there
44:56
are two things people to look for
44:58
on their skin which are it's almost
45:01
proof positive of insulin resistance. The first
45:03
one is Skyn Tags. Those. Are
45:05
these little kind of mushroom like? or
45:07
Collins will stocks of skyn. They're.
45:09
Not like a flat can around. More their lead
45:12
to sort of just write up in a
45:14
small I've been everyone already knows I'm talking
45:16
about people can determine their artist or around
45:18
their neck if they are stacked fooled around
45:20
their neck. So. Those are
45:22
Skyn tags and at the same in
45:24
the same place especially around the neck
45:26
or the armpits. Anywhere Ruskin is rubbing
45:28
they can start to develop something called
45:30
accent those to snag returns or these
45:33
patches of skyn that are a little
45:35
darker pigment and may have a kind
45:37
of new an altered texture, kind of
45:39
this velvety kind of texture to it
45:41
on. but but that's another another one.
45:43
So that the skin. I kind of
45:45
joke the skin is the window to
45:47
the metabolic soul just because like every
45:49
part of the body, it responds to
45:51
insulin. And so we start to see these
45:53
little hints of it. Plus. Oh helpful,
45:55
you know Era I wrote a little. Description
45:57
of how to look at this angry detail
45:59
com how to work with your doctor to
46:01
get what you need. It's available. My website
46:04
doctor I'm in.com is also available I think
46:06
online you can just google it and I
46:08
go through all the diagnostic test to help
46:10
you identify the ways in which either you
46:13
have in some resistance or the consequences of
46:15
it. and the things I tend to recommend
46:17
people do is like you said, Fasting insulin
46:19
super important. The best test is is because
46:21
the fasting insulin elevation is really the second
46:24
stage of the problem. The first age is
46:26
elevations of insulin after you consume a sugar
46:28
drink. So. That that's a little bit of
46:30
a more of a pain in the U.S. Test
46:32
rehab decks, drinker sugar drank, it's will have to
46:34
Coca Cola's and. Get. Your blood tested
46:37
either thirty minutes after. And
46:39
or I are one in two hours after
46:41
his wells fasting. Ah that's how important. the
46:43
leopard test you mention are super important an
46:45
industrial download on out because there are some
46:48
a common anymore or cardio. It's I q
46:50
test from Labcorp quest which look at not
46:52
just a total numbers of of like with
46:55
the way to cluster which is your milligrams
46:57
per deciliter. I looked at the particle number
46:59
in the particle size which is really important
47:01
and so when you have been some resistance
47:04
you have a perfectly normal cluster two hundred
47:06
or one fifty but your triglycerides maybe three
47:08
hundred ratios. Thirty, you guys are you clusters
47:10
find your ago sites. It may not be
47:12
because you may actually have really dangerous small
47:14
particles. Also, a look at. Nina.
47:17
Like they treeless Friday still races Mayberry
47:19
important something not really paid attention to
47:21
might by doctor if it's more more
47:23
productive than L the all elevation more
47:25
productive. the most productive test or triglyceride
47:27
H a ratio and totaled Hdr Racial
47:29
nature racial reflects the in some resistance
47:31
so we've always been looking at it
47:33
but in not in the right west's
47:35
we also look at inflammation which can
47:37
happen to a C R P we
47:39
look at your gas and which can
47:41
be elevated which David Palmer's a book
47:43
you're a drop as it is all
47:45
about we we look at. That liver function
47:48
tests which can be abnormal. We look at
47:50
male hormone sex hormones the like a D
47:52
H E A in a self in women
47:54
to look at effective androgens been produced from.
47:56
yes resists. We look at a whole host
47:58
of things. We are pretty a picture. Where
48:00
people are that spectrum by the
48:02
most important like you said is
48:04
looking at the insulin fasting or
48:06
after glucose time chests and you
48:08
mention the waist hip ratio as
48:10
important but you know. When.
48:12
You're going to date on the eighty percent of
48:14
Americans are met a box and healthy only seventy
48:17
five percent only Raymond Only five percent of us
48:19
are overweight. Records it's but like move where my
48:21
daughter in a like. You know,
48:23
a. Whatever. Eight percent
48:25
by a probably about a
48:27
quarter of people who are
48:29
thin also have. Pre. Diabetes
48:31
their well because give you a fat
48:34
or sit on the outside found insights
48:36
their metabolic we obese but normal weight.
48:39
And that's just because they. They mean I
48:41
gained weight, but they actually the metabolic consequence
48:43
housing so Easter to look at all these
48:45
factors have a pretty good sense of the
48:48
problem. Thanks for listening today! If you loved
