hi guys there’s a condition called a can

ptosis Negron’s I want to talk about

this is basically a hyperpigmentation in

the body folds of the you know

underneath the armpits the forehead the

groin different parts of the body where

it’s kind of a darkened appearance now

if you see someone like this or you have

this you can pretty much know for sure

what they’re consuming it’s refined

carbohydrates they’re eating frequently

because what causes this condition is

high levels of insulin okay or insulin

resistance which then causes high levels

of insulin so that’s a pre-diabetic

situation and this person could also be

a diabetic as well but I just want let

you know that this can be reversed if

you reduce the insulin okay so I put a

link down below of some possible things

you can do relating to diet

doing in a minute fasting ketosis is a

really good thing but I want to also

mention there’s another condition that

can mimic a version of this called

pellagra it’s not as common but pellagra

can give you a similar appearance around

your neck okay plugger is a b3

deficiency in the early 1900’s more

people died of this vitamin deficiency

than any other vitamin deficiency ever

okay in the US and basically the where

that came from

is people consuming milled corn

ground-up cornmeal like in grits okay in

the south so that creates serious

deficiencies vitamin b3 so again if you

have this condition and your blood

sugars are normal and you’re consuming a

lot of corn products grits corn chips

cornmeal you know that could be another

possibility but if you’re consuming that

chances are your blood sugars are off as

well but I put a link down below to give

you more information on how to help

manage this insulin so if you have this

condition watch this if you know someone
