okay so you’re doing keto and intermittent fasting  

but your darn blood sugars are still high what  is going on where is the sugar coming from  

it’s coming from your liver and your kidney  there’s something called gluconeogenesis which  

means the formation of new sugar and your body  does always need a very small amount of sugar  

you can’t run a hundred percent on ketones  or fat a small percentage of body tissue  

runs on glucose so your body actually makes it out  of non-carbohydrate sources it’ll make it out of  

fat it’ll make it out of protein and it’ll make  sugar out of ketones what controls this process  

is insulin insulin is supposed to turn  off gluconeogenesis when you have high  

sugar despite not consuming sugar what this  means is there’s low amounts of insulin the  

insulin is really low in your body obviously it  might be too low what condition would create a  

situation where you don’t have enough insulin  well diabetes type 1 but that’s very very rare  

or insulin resistance which is very very very  common what’s interesting about insulin resistance  

is it creates high levels of insulin but at the  same time that insulin is not working in the body  

so you don’t really have the benefit of that  insulin shutting down gluconeogenesis because  

it’s all about the receptor so the receptor  in your cell is not receiving insulin so  

your body is going to sense low glucose so  basically your insulin is dysfunction whoops  

what can you do simply focus on improving  insulin resistance how do you do that number  

one start exercising more to burn off the sugar  and by the way when you have high blood glucose  

that’s not coming from your diet it’s not  pathological it’s not going to create a disease  

like it would if you were to consume too much  sugar from the diet second thing you want to  

increase your fasting fast longer and do it  more frequently three increase more fiber as in  

vegetables because the fiber is consumed by your  friendly bacteria and then your bacteria starts  

making something called a small chain fatty acid  like butyrate and butyrate helps improve insulin  

resistance that’s the connection apple cider  vinegar really really good to help you with  

insulin resistance vitamin d essential chromium  one of the best trace minerals and i forgot zinc  

too zinc is also really really good to help you  with that b vitamins of course nutritional yeast  

is one of the best sources potassium and magnesium  part of the electrolytes will help getting more  

sleep will greatly help your blood sugars and  decreasing inflammation since inflammation  

worsens insulin resistance so anything you can  do to decrease inflammation but of course if  

you’re doing all this that’s going to bring  inflammation down i did create several videos  

and inflammation i put a link down below  for a little more data because if you have  

this chronic inflammatory condition that can kind  of keep you from fully achieving your full goals  

with this situation over here okay 11 just give  it more time this means that you’ve had this  

problem for quite a long time and it’s going  to take time to reverse it could take months  

it could even take up to a year but also focus on  the other indicators the other improvements if you  

are feeling more energy and you’re losing weight  and you have no hunger and you have no cravings  

so everything else is doing well that means  it’s working so just ride the wave give it  

more time don’t go back to carbs all right thanks  for watching before you go if you have a question  

about a product or you’re new to keto and you want  to know how to begin keto or you’re on keto and  

you need a debug because it’s not going as smooth  i have a keto consultant standing by to help you  

this is just for the people in the u.s  hopefully in the future we’ll be able  

to answer everyone’s call but i put the number  down below so you can call and get some help you
