I had an opportunity to sit down with Dr. Ritchie Shoemaker and we talked about Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome. Dr. Shoemaker has devoted his career to unveiling the complexities of Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome—caused by exposure to damp buildings, cyanobacterial blooms, dinoflagellates, spirochetes, apicomplexans, and recluse spiders: among others.Dr. Shoemaker began the first biotoxin illness practice in the US in 2002 and has treated over 10,000 patients with CIRS illnesses. His non-profit research group, the Center for Research on Biotoxin Associated Illnesses, has raised over $2,000,000 for private funding of academic research.

I’m super excited to share this interview with you. I had the opportunity to sit down with Dr. Benjamin Bikman. We talked a lot about insulin resistance and the concerns going on right now.Dr. Ben Bikman’s research focus is to elucidate the molecular mechanisms that mediate the disruption that causes and accompanies metabolic disorders, such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, and dementia. Driven by his academic training (Ph.D. in bioenergetics and postdoctoral fellowship with the Duke-National University of Singapore in metabolic disorders), he is currently exploring the contrasting roles of insulin and ketones as key drivers of metabolic function. He frequently publishes his research in peer-reviewed journals and presents at international science meetings.Dr. Bikman spends most of his time tending to his responsibilities as a professor and researcher in the Department of Physiology and Developmental Biology at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah. However, his passion and energy have driven him beyond science to develop tools and resources that are helping change the world’s health through insulin control.1:26 All about Dr. Benjamin Bikman2:25 The cause of insulin resistance5:49 Three primary causes7:01 Secondary cause9:49 Non-dietary factors effect on insulin resistance12:11 Thoughts on linoleic acid (PUFA)13:56 Glucose levels increasing on a carnivore diet20:23 Fatty fish and fish oil supplements23:23  Survival of the Fattest by Stephen Cunnane.
