hey guys in this video we’re going to

talk about something called insulin

resistance of your brain okay now

insulin resistance is a condition where

you have the pancreas or other parts of

the body producing too much insulin

because it’s not connecting into the

cells so we have a situation where we

have insulin there but it’s not

available so it creates all sorts of

problems another name for insulin

resistance would of the brain would be

called peripheral insulin resistance now

in the brain insulin controls your food

intake your metabolism your setpoint and

it’s also intimately involved with

cognitive function and memory okay when

there’s too much insulin or sugar in the

brain you’re going to destruction of

various parts of the brain you can have

neuro degeneration which is breakdown

inflammation of the hypothalamus

destruction of the hippocampus which is

the structure in the brain that acts as

a relay switch into your database your

file cabinet of memories so you’re going

to get dementia and poor memory okay

there’s even a new treatment called

nasal insulin spray which fights

forgetfulness okay so they’re basically

bypassing insulin resistance spraying it

right through the nasal passages right

up into the brain it crosses the

blood-brain barrier goes right in as a

way of bypassing insulin resistance and

it creates significant improvements in

cognitive function which is fascinating

the problem is you add more insulin it’s

not getting rid of the cause of the

problem it’s a temporary fix and it’s

going to actually make things worse

because what kraits insulin resistance

is too much insulin okay you get a

little relief but then you have a lot of

side effects down the road so there’s a

lot of brain problems with dysfunctional

insulin but in order to develop some of

these symptoms from insulin resistance

it starts in the mitochondria

mitochondrial dysfunction okay and one

of the key nutrients that protects the

mitochondria from becoming dysfunctional

is vitamin b1 thiamine if you have

enough b1 into the cells you’re gonna

have a lot less symptom

if any from high levels of insulin and

high levels of sugar and it also

protects the nerves too as in peripheral

neuropathy of the fingertips and the

toes now there’s even a condition called

korsakoff’s syndrome which is a b1

deficiency a very severe b1 deficiency

and take a wild guess what kind of

symptoms that these people have memory

problems apathy dementia so I believe

that without this b1 you can’t protect

the mitochondria and you can develop all

sorts of dysfunctional cells that can

affect all sorts of things memory nerve

damage you name it now how do we become

deficient in b1

carbohydrates okay high carbohydrates

alcohol will deplete it liver damage

chemotherapy now if you look up some of

the studies on brain insulin resistance

here’s one high-fat diet induces brain

insulin resistance and cognitive

impairment in mice now wow they’re

saying high-fat diets cause insulin

resistance wow that’s a ketogenic diet

isn’t it well let’s go ahead and read a

little further and find out what these

mice really ate high fat diet forty

percent of energy from fat okay with 42

grams of liquid sugar this is not the

ketogenic diet okay it’s a high fat plus

high sugar diet anytime you add sugar

with fat or sugar with protein you

dramatically increase insulin okay you

worse an insulin you magnify it

exaggerates the problem so unfortunately

the media takes hold of this and now the

next thing you see is ketogenic diet is

dangerous for the body and creates

diabetes and insulin resistance no it’s

not the high fat it’s the high sugar and

it’s the high sugar in combination with

the high fat so if you’re doing a

ketogenic diet and you’re doing it

correctly there’s not going to be any

damage in fact you can improve insulin

in the brain dramatically how do you do

it by doing keto and then mmm fasting

with taking vitamin b1 but make sure

it’s in the

of a natural source a nutritional yeast

that would be really important so if one

of my relatives had dementia what I

would do is I’d put him on the keto

program I’d put him on instrumented

fasting and I would put him on a very

strong vitamin b1 in the form of a fat

soluble version of B one it’s called

been thought to mean let me spell this

then vote to me this is a fat soluble b1

you can get it from the health food

store and I would recommend taking this

four times a day so you’re taking a lot

of it but it’s going to help innervate

the brain because it’s fat soluble it

goes right through the layer of the fat

cells and it’s great for peripheral

neuropathy it’s also good for shingles

so there you have it insulin resistance

on your brain thanks for watching so I

want to know what you’re interested in

as far as video click the link down

below and share some ideas I want to
