hi guys dr. Barrick here in this video I

want to answer this question what is

insulin resistance really okay what is

it it’s basically the body’s defense

mechanism against excess sugar okay

that’s what it is

insulin keeps your blood sugars from

going too high okay so insulin prevents

the blood sugars from rising above 100

milligrams per deciliter now what does

that mean let me show you in this next

part okay so this represents the amount

of blood that’s in your body these are

filled with blood okay a gallon and a

half of blood okay the one hundred

million milligrams per deciliter is one

teaspoon of sugar per gallon and a half

of blood so if we put that in there we

put this in there we dilute it that

would be normal blood sugar okay so it’s

not very much but what does an average

person consume

[Music]

31 teaspoons

okay that’s a hundred and forty pounds

of sugar every single year now do you

see the problem okay we’re back so now

you know you don’t really need much

sugar in your body okay now why does

your body work so hard to keep your

blood Sugar’s below 100 that’s the

question because sugar is toxic too much

sugar is toxic to the body even at 1/2

of a teaspoon more than you need

chronically taking over a period of time

can create damage just a half a teaspoon

more than you need

and what kind of damage that’s

neuropathies that’s like damage to your

nerves and your feet in your hands like

in a diabetic blind the optic nerve

creating damage in the eye heart disease

stroke diabetes inflammation memory loss

Alzheimer’s sugar feeds cancer visceral

fat that’s the fat around the gut okay

so it can create some serious damage

okay you get three types of fuel sources

you have carbohydrates proteins and fats

right

carbohydrates are glucose or sugar so

here’s the truth glucose is not the

preferred fuel of the body

like people think fat is the type of

fuel that your body does a lot better on

and the reason why people will say that

glucose is the preferred fuel is because

it’s used first it’s used at first if

given the choice between fat and sugar

to always go after the sugar first but

the reason why it goes after the sugar

first is because that sugar creates the

most damage so when you eat sugar it

puts the body in emergency situation

where it has to dispose of it first

that’s why it doesn’t mean it’s the

preferred fuel it means that it it’s the

most dangerous that needs to be gotten

rid of disposed of in the body so the

body will stick it into the cells it’ll

stick it into storage is fat that type

of thing and think about it you have

about 40,000 calories of fat and only

2,000 calories of storage sugar in your

body so our bodies are meant to have

this huge fat reserve or some fat a lot

more fat because it runs on that more

long-term than this quick sugar thing

where you can deplete and probably a

half an hour so insulin is in reality a

detoxifier hormone it is meant to

detoxify excess sugar and sugar is toxic

okay the hidden sugar to the breads the

pasta the cereal crackers I mean how

many people are pre-diabetic now how

many people are going into diabetes how

many people have insulin resistance so

many people so when you burn fat you

actually you can run your body on

something called ketone so ketones are

the byproduct of fat burning and our

bodies can run on ketones very

efficiently okay now can you run a

hundred percent of your body on ketones

no you can run 85% of your fuel on

ketones

15 percent of your fuel needs to be

glucose but here’s the catch 22 your

body can make glucose from your own fat

or the fat in the diet or the protein in

the diet it doesn’t need external

glucose you don’t need to consume

carbohydrates

okay so the 15 percent of the body that

basically runs on glucose that can’t run

on ketones would be parts of certain

parts of the brain the outside of the

kidney the lens of the eye the red blood

cell and sperm but again those that

could be converted from fat and sugar

it’s called gluconeogenesis in the liver

so fat is a much cleaner fuel it runs on

less oxygen it’s less stressful and it

gives off much less waste than sugar

okay so to recap what is insulin

resistance this is a protective

mechanism that your body has created to

prevent the toxic sugar from in bay

the body I hope that helped hey guys I

just want to take a second and thank you

for your recent uploads a lot of you are

uploading your success stories and they

are mind-blowing check out the one from

Jeff before-and-after I mean that’s

incredible then we have morose Lowell

and Quinn and a shot and Halina check

out George and Debby John Lee and I mean

this is just a few of the many I mean

it’s amazing so I am just blown away so

if you haven’t filled out your success

story and uploading it before and after

I want to see it I put a link down below

it’s not only mind-blowing to me but it

inspires other people because it gives

them hope that they can be helped as

well so click the link below and share

your success story with me I want to
