hi guys in this video I’m going to talk

about insulin and lean muscle mass now

some people are trying to build more

muscle mass and they’re not able to do

it and this is why and I’m going to just

show you help you understand what’s

going on at the cellular level this is a

muscle cell right here and there’s

several key pieces of the puzzle that

we’re going to talk about number one it

takes insulin to act as a key to unlock

the door of the cells to allow the amino

acids to go into the cell and convert

the amino acids to skeletal muscle

protein so we need insulin to make

muscle protein that is true okay the

problem is that most people don’t

understand what insulin resistance is

when you have insulin resistance which

is a pre-diabetic State or you’re a

diabetic type 2 you have a situation

where you have lots of insulin but it’s

resistance it’s not working in the body

so you basically have a deficiency of

insulin with insulin resistance okay

so you don’t have any more unlocking of

any door there boy

thereby starving off the amino acids

from the cell so this idea that oh I

need more insulin so I’m gonna have more

carbs to allow more amino acid to go in

there all you’re gonna do is are going

to create a resistance and you’re gonna

block these amino acids from going in

the cell and B and being converted in a

muscle tissue now here’s the other point

you want to know it only your body only

needs a very small amount of sugar in

the system small amount of sugar and in

a moderate amount of insulin which

basically is a hundred milligrams per

deciliter of insulin and what does that

mean that’s only one teaspoon per gallon

and a half of blood that is so small an

average person has 21 teaspoons of sugar

every single day so we need a very very

small of carbs so when you do carbo

loading you increase a lot of sugar

you’re basically shutting down the even

insulin it’s an insolence ability to

work okay so we need some insulin but we

don’t need to trigger it by carbs we

don’t need to increase it

by taking more sugar at all we don’t

want to do that just what we want to do

is we want to look at these other

factors you can actually have a normal

insulin without having any carbs okay

and just your body can make sugar your

body can make normal insulin if it

doesn’t have too much too much sugar so

it also takes exercise to stimulate a

hormone called growth hormone that then

we’ll make the amino acids convert to

muscle protein as well so we need this

hormone called growth hormone that

triggers this process so we need normal

insulin growth hormone we need to

trigger to make this happen

so if you want to build muscle mass you

have to do something you have to work

your body so growth hormone is triggered

by hardcore exercise high intensity

exercise full body boo compound

resistant training with lots of rest if

you over trained you’ll actually never

allow the recovery because exercise

basically breaks down the muscle and

it’s the recovery that actually builds

the muscle through growth hormone but

you got a you got to stimulate the

muscle and then you have to let it heal

through the sleep that’s why the deep

sleep is key if you don’t have enough

sleep you’re not going to build muscle

more sleep more muscle mass you need

moderate amount of protein if you do

higher amounts of protein like lots of

protein you can actually Jam up the

liver and you can also trigger insulin

that will create insulin resistance so

you need a little bit you don’t need a

lot you need high quality fish is very

high quality amino acids some people do

whey protein I’m not against that but

the problem it’s so lean it doesn’t have

the normal fats in it that you also need

to buffer some of the insulin response

what triggers insulin a lot more than

other proteins is low fat whey protein

it’s low fat and it will spike insulin

so if you’re gonna consume way add some

fat to it maybe coconut oil or something

like that so we also we need sodium and

potassium the pump the window the door

that this key unlocks is called the

sodium potassium pump

so you have these minerals that exchange

that allow this little transport of

protein to go through and also vitamins

and minerals and glucose but we need

this pump so that means that if you’re

not consuming enough sodium it won’t

work but more chances are you’re not

consuming enough potassium you need way

more potassium than sodium sodium is 10

• 10 you pi need like a half a teaspoon

of sodium per day but you need 4700

milligrams of potassium every day to get

your normal requirement that’s like 7 to

10 cups of vegetables you can take it as

a supplement but the supplements come in

like 99 milligrams you need 4700 so you

can get in a powder or electrolyte blend

but the point is that you need these two

minerals to allow me no acids to go in

the cell because that requires the pump

to be activated and work correctly so

just sometimes by fixing this ratio of

minerals you can get more lean body mass

because you’ll get more entry in fact

the sodium potassium actually also will

fix insulin resistance as well right so

I just wanted to kind of break down this

problem the little pieces to see where

maybe you might need to strengthen an

area versus another area put your
