so today we’re gonna talk about the most

important blood test that you should get

it’s extremely vital yet no one’s

getting this test done okay and it

measures something called insulin

resistance and the name of the test is

called halt ma ir homeostatic model

assessment and what they do is they

actually measure fasting glucose and

fasting insulin the problem is that when

you measure just glucose you actually

never see the what’s happening with the

insulin and I’m gonna explain why this

is so important but insulin resistance

is rarely ever tested yet is probably

one of the most common problems out

there it’s behind nearly every health

problem especially of a chronic nature

we’re talking about metabolic syndrome

we’re talking about syndrome X we have

high blood pressure high cholesterol

pre-diabetes fatty liver etc even cancer

cardiovascular problems problems with

the kidney problems with the eye just

having belly fat and of course diabetes

insulin resistance is at the heart of

that definitely get this test done an

optimum level would be between three and

eight low would be less than three high

is greater than eight if you’re lower

than three it could mean you’re on the

ketogenic plan and you’re doing in a bit

fasting or potentially if you’re not on

that plan it could mean diabetes type

one where you don’t have enough insulin

but anyway I wanted to first of all tell

you this is a very important test and

then explain a little bit about insulin

resistance all right so what causes

insulin resistance what is it okay first

of all insulin resistance is a problem

more with the receptor the endocrine

system is a superior communication

system we have glands and we have

hormones and it follows the law of

communication so we have the pancreas

that sends a signal communicates to a

cell and the signal one of

one of the hormones is called insulin

that’s when we’re going to talk about

and it’s supposed to connect into the

cell right here and then there should be

a feedback mechanism that sends another

signal back letting the pancreas know

that that information was received okay

and then this will stop but what happens

is when you increase too much insulin

okay so we’re talking about amounts and

we’re talking about also chronically

over time the cell through its

protective mechanism start shutting down

and this is this also explains why you

have antibiotic resistance too many

antibiotics or drug resistance if you go

to a I don’t know a concert where

there’s very loud music okay a rock

concert and in the next couple days

you can barely hear anything because

your receptors in your ear start

shutting down that sound to protect

against the damage from that high level

sound so this is a protective mechanism

because too much insulin is dangerous to

the body so that’s exactly what it is

your body is trying to protect you by

developing insulin resistance okay now

the problem is if this is resisting you

don’t get the feedback so the pancreas

keeps communicating it starts talking

more and more and more because no one’s

listening to the communication so just

try this with a friend or relative just

ignore them and see what they do they’ll

just keep talking alright in volume they

might shout at you but this is what

happens so when you have insulin too

much insulin and then you start

developing insulin resistance so insulin

resistance comes from too much insulin

okay sounds pretty obvious but the

insulin resistance then will cause a

fatty liver and the fatty liver can

correct cause more insulin resistance

and insulin resistance can cause more

insulin so it’s just you can see that

it’s a it’s a vicious cycle so what

causes too much insulin several things

one is too many refined carbohydrates

sugar starches things like that

also frequent eating regardless of what

you eat so if you’re eating every three

hours which basically that’s what’s

recommended they will tell you to do

that and by the way they will also

recommend that your carbohydrates are

65% of the total calories being

carbohydrate that’s what they recommend

I’ll get today in a second so we have

carbohydrates and frequent eating okay

that’s why we have all the healthy

snacks and the snack foods and then a

fatty liver will also increase insulin

because it causes more insulin

resistance and then insulin resistance

causes more insulin so you can see that

it’s not just the carbohydrates there’s

other things that can occur as well all

right so the two things that we need to

solve if we’re going to fix this problem

we need to normalize insulin and then we

had to decrease the time that your body

is exposed to insulin and this is why

health Aikido is a lower carbohydrate

diet and intimate fasting really brings

down the insulin because you’re not

constantly exposing this receptor to

insulin that’s how you reverse it and

another thing that happens is when

people do keto if they have a very

severe problem with insulin resistance

okay and they they’re gonna have a fatty

liver and they’re gonna have a belly a

lot of times they will get upset or

complain that the belly is not going

away fast enough in the first couple

weeks you have to realize that the first

place that a person loses that is in the

liver okay

the liver will dump the fat first before

you lose this right here in the process

you might also gain more proteins which

are a little bit heavier per volume

because when you fix instant resistance

you can finally start absorbing amino

acids insulin resistance blocks a lot of

a lot of things nutrients like like

potassium vitamin D vitamin C minerals

so when you have insulin resistance you

can’t absorb nutrients anymore and all

this extra sugar that can’t go in the

cell they

Scalise being converted to fat it’s

being crammed in the liver around the

organs around your belly and there’s no

limit to work and go so it just kind of

spreading over and filling everything up

so there’s going to be a certain point

in time that this mechanism is going to

break down because your pancreas can

only work for so long before it becomes

exhausted

especially the cells that produce

insulin and now we’re going to have less

and less insulin okay if your diet has

not changed and you’re still doing the

carbohydrates that are recommended

because they told you to do that what

will happen is your blood Sugar’s will

start going up because we no longer have

the insulin to push the blood Sugar’s

down so now we get pre-diabetes

and then diabetes okay so diabetes takes

time but what happened first is insulin

resistance because there’s too much

insulin and that’s the reason I’m

recommending this video is because very

few people even know that there is a

test for insulin resistance called Homa

IR and they rarely get it what’s mainly

focused on is the blood Sugar’s to check

the blood sugars so let’s just talk

about the medical treatment real quick

for that so what is the medical

treatment for insulin resistance

metformin is one okay problem is if you

take metformin and you don’t fix the

diet it continues because metformin does

help the receptor receive more insulin

but you haven’t really fixed the deeper

issue which is the carbs just being

dumped in and Plus this has some side

effects as well which we’re not going to

get into in this video and also what

happens because of the consequences of

too much insulin in all these different

problems the medical treatment is really

just to treat all the complications for

example of diabetes so they’ll treat

your high blood pressure the high

cholesterol they might thin your blood

and so you’re you’re just in this

situation where you have all these

symptoms being treated where the actual

root cause is being ignored so the

question is why are these people

that’s stupid they can’t see the obvious

or is it for other reasons I’ll let you

decide

but in the medical profession there’s

just a lot of confusion on what causes

what and what’s related to this and this

is associated with this and we have

brisk factors and people don’t know what

to do but they do recommend a diet okay

they recommend a diet now who is they

exactly I can’t really tell you exactly

but I know it’s a combination of the

USDA the FDA government agencies with

the food manufacturing companies

together with the medical profession as

one group I don’t know exactly what you

would call that group but we’ve just

we’ll just call them then but the

mainstream recommendations are 65% of

your total calories being carbohydrates

now that is 293 grams of carbohydrates

on a diet composed of 1,800 calories

okay now with keto

we’re recommending 20 to 50 grams 293

grams of carbohydrate you will create so

much insulin resistance it’s crazy so I

find this fascinating because we’re we

have this group that has these

recommendations that is causing insulin

resistance yet we put the same group

that caused the problem in charge of

fixing the problem what is wrong with

this picture this I’m good and I want to

show you a couple more things related to

the food pyramid this is what’s

recommended half of your plate should be

whole grains like whole grains are a lot

better than refined grains right second

recommendation eat sugary desserts less

often they don’t even say don’t eat

sugary desserts they say eat them but

less often what do you think people are

gonna do they’re gonna snack on them

through the day oh here’s another one

this is a good one occasional choice is

not every day okay so they’re not

telling you not to eat these but just

eat them occasionally cakes cookies ice

cream sausage hot dogs because of the

fat so they kind of mix these all these

things in together because of the fat

right but what about the carbs and then

here’s one by fruit that is dried frozen

and canned as well as fresh fruit

why don’t they have the fresh fruits

laughs and lastly top your fruit salad

and baked potato with low-fat yogurt

okay all right guys in summary sorry for

this long video but this is the test

that you want to get called home ir ask

your doctor to get this test look at it

see where you are and get on keto and

if’ I have a link down below of exactly

how to do this how silly thanks for
