all right so someone wanted to know is it possible to reverse insulin

resistance and how long does it take so this video is for that person first of

all what is insulin resistance it’s a condition whereby the cells are

no longer absorbing insulin so insulin is being rejected okay and so in the

receptor for insulin it’s just not receiving insulin anymore the

consequence of that is this without insulin the cells can’t get fuel they

can’t get nutrition so they’re starving they’re hungry and you’re creating

carbohydrates there’s a little signal sent back to the pancreas because it’s

not getting absorbed inside the cell that tells the pancreas hey we don’t

have enough insulin make more so the pancreas makes more and more insulin so

an average person with insulin resistance has five to seven times more

than normal the problem with this is that this high level of insulin creates

damage in the body also the fact that it’s not getting into the body that well

it can raise your blood sugar so you’ve got high blood sugars because the

purpose of insulin is to lower the blood sugar so we have this dynamic of the

hormone trying to do its work but it can’t so then it can’t control the blood

sugar so it can start going higher and higher and higher yeah at the same time

the cells are starving they’re hungry and if you have insulin resistance in

the brain then if they can’t get fuel they die that’s Alzheimer’s okay so

that’s really what it is so what causes insulin resistance the overexposure of

insulin okay okay will cause that the chronic consumption of carbs and eating

too frequent okay frequent meals and snacking how do we fix this problem

well you just reverse the process and you do prolong absence of insulin so we

just avoid the triggering of insulin over a period of time because here’s the

problem if you don’t fix this you’re not going to get weight loss so all those

workouts that you’re doing are a waste of time all the diets you’re doing don’t

really work and you’re going to be hungry all the time so you’re not going

to be able to stick to it now based on my opinion it takes between three to

eight plus months to reverse insulin resistance but the cool thing is you can

also reverse pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes now my guess is that doing keto

is responsible for maybe twenty to thirty percent of the improvements

intermittent fasting is responsible for about 60% of the improvements we add

those together we get about eighty percent but if you do the healthy

version of keto within intermittent fasting together you can get 90 plus percent

results why because the healthy version of keto itself supplies the key

nutrients okay zinc vitamin D chromium potassium

magnesium but B vitamins to help speed up the process and if you want to

enhance the speed up your results you would add these things exercise reduce

your stress increase sleeping certain supplements to take more of certain

nutrients that target the beta cells of the pancreas that are involved in insulin

resistance and the way that you know that insulin resistance is going away

you can do a test called Homa IR okay but honestly I would just

look at these six things okay number one is your hunger going away can you go

longer between meals without eating how about your belly fat is it disappearing

that means the inside of the fat around the organs is going away especially the

liver fat as well is your blood pressure going down now here’s the thing when you

have high insulin or high sugars the arteries get really really stiff and

when you do healthy keto and intermittent fasting with I would also

recommend more vitamin D with this you can improve blood pressure but sometimes

it takes up to a year to get this under control

next one good blood Sugar’s now for most people you’re going to see change

immediately now if you’ve been a diabetic for many many years and talking

type 2 it could take up to a year to really get this blood sugar under

control number five no dawn phenomena the dawn phenomena is

this when you wake up in the morning you didn’t

and your blood sugar is high that just means that you’re in the transition

phase of adapting to ketosis and you still have insulin resistance so if you

have this and then it goes away which it will over time that means your insulin

resistance is much much better and number six you have a lot more energy

that’s a real good indicator that it’s working and I’m gonna I’m gonna add

number seven which is you’re satisfied when you eat so maybe before when you

had insulin resistance you eat and you just don’t feel fulfilled now you do of

course you’re gonna have to eat the right foods but the feeling of being

satisfied after you eat tells me that the nutrition is going into the cell

it’s working that means that you no longer have that resistance because with

instant resistance that blocks the nutrients going in the it’s hard

to feel satisfied with food anyway thanks for watching and I will see you
