Reshape Your Health with Dr. Morgan Nolte

Have a question you want answered on the podcast? Send us a text!Meet Dr. Benjamin Bikman, author of Why We Get Sick. In this interview we talk about all things insulin resistance! Signs, symptoms, testing, how it’s linked to type 2 diabetes, heart disease, dementia, and more. Dr. Bikman shares information from his book on how to prevent and reverse insulin resistance for sustainable weight loss and disease prevention.If you have high blood sugar, high blood pressure, or excess weight, this episode is for you. 8-9/10 people tuning in have insulin resistance. For such a common condition, I’m always shocked that so few people even know it exists. Insulin resistance is at ground zero for weight gain, diabetes, heart disease, and so much more. Dr. Bikman has his Ph.D. in Bioenergetics. As a professor at Brigham Young University and the director of its Diabetes Research Lab, Dr. Bikman studies insulin, including its role as a regulator of human metabolism, as well as insulin’s relevance in chronic disease. In addition to his research and teaching, Dr. Bikman actively serves as a research mentor to undergraduate and graduate students. He and his students frequently present and publish their findings. He lives with his wife and kids in Utah.Chronic dieting will not work for sustainable weight loss. The only way to lose weight, keep it off, and prevent disease is to live a low insulin lifestyle. I know that may sound strange to you, but it's true. When "How will this affect my insulin" becomes your new litmus test instead of "How many points or calories does this have," weight loss clicks into gear.  Highlights From This EpisodeWhat is insulin resistance?What causes insulin resistance?What diseases are caused by insulin resistance?How can we prevent insulin resistance?How can we reverse insulin resistance?Subscribe & ReviewSubscribing and leaving a rating and review are important factors in helping the Reshape Your Health Podcast and the YouTube Channel reach more people.

It increases after a typical chronic calorie restricted diet and makes you want to regain the weight. Ghrelin is pulsatile in nature and seems to be released in conjunction with your normal meal times.Intermittent fasting helps lower ghrelin levels. Knowing that your hunger will increase around normal meal times, you can be proactive and ensure that you’re properly hydrated and distracted around those times to ride the hunger wave until it passes. Remember that intermittent fasting isn’t about eating less, it’s about eating less often. Food absolutely still matters.Eating a diet high in healthy fat significantly helps lower ghrelin. Including plenty of protein in your diet will also help stipulate other satiety hormones including CCK and peptide YY. For obese individuals with insulin resistance, your ghrelin suppression is going be blunted after eating refined starches and sugars, meaning you can anticipate hunger again quickly after eating those kinds of foods. Set yourself up for success by avoiding or reducing these processed carbs.  Sleep is crucial for weight loss and maintenance success. Getting enough sleep can help reduce your ghrelin levels and make intermittent fasting a lot easier. You can’t out diet and exercise the negative hormonal effects of chronic stress or sleep deprivation. Subscribe & ReviewSubscribing and leaving a rating and review are important factors in helping the Reshape Your Health Podcast and the YouTube Channel reach more people.
