Episode notes

Insulin dictates fuel use at every single cell of the body. If there's no calories coming in, insulin must start to drop and drop quickly. The more insulin drops, the more the body becomes insulin sensitive at various cells. Most effective way to lower insulin is through fasting,. But when you eat and you will need to, focus on nutrients that have the least impact on insulin - fats and proteins.
