In this episode we discuss:
- Whether you should be concerned about low T3 or high glucagon on low-carb diets
- Whether insulin resistance is a problem of excess glucose metabolism or excess fat metabolism
- Whether a low metabolic rate allows you to live longer
- Whether high-carb diets cause overeating and insulin resistance
- Whether you should be concerned about glycation on a high-carb diet
- And much more
