hey welcome back now in my last live show  

i found out that there is a bit of  confusion in a certain area related to  

inflammation insulin resistance and just being  overweight so i’m going to clear that up with this  

this short video here so there’s a lot of  different chain reactions that occur in the body  

when you’re dealing with diabetes and also when  you’re dealing with just gaining weight and so  

sometimes things get mixed up and if you actually  research this topic you’ll find that there’s not  

a lot of data on cause and effect relationship  there’s associations there’s secondary causes  

so i want to try to give you some clarity on um  if it’s the chicken or the egg okay all right so  

inflammation does contribute to insulin resistance  which then causes diabetes which is high levels of  

glucose in the blood okay so that’s true and it’s  also true that the more fat you have in your body  

the more inflammation you’re going to have which  then can contribute to this but then the question  

is do you know anyone who has diabetes that  develop diabetes because they have too much  

inflammation you know of someone who is overweight  because they have too much inflammation probably  

not so inflammation in general contributes to  this and it might worsen diabetes and it could  

actually slow down your ability to lose weight  if you’re stuck in some plateau if we take a look  

at the primary drivers of inflammation glucose  is at the top of the list carbs too many carbs  

could be that you’re consuming too many omega-6  oils okay it could be that you have too much iron  

so these are also causes not as common it could be  that you have a chronic infection okay that could  

cause systemic inflammation could be because you  drink too much alcohol it could also be that you  

have too much cortisol in your body now cortisol  is an anti-inflammatory so it’s supposed to get  

rid of inflammation but what happens when you  have too much cortisol the receptors for cortisol  

downgrade so you develop cortisol resistance and  then what happens you have a situation where you  

have a deficiency of cortisol on one part of your  body and you have an excess on the other part and  

that can aggravate inflammation now as far as fat  goes glucose is the primary driver of fat because  

what happens it triggers insulin and insulin is  a energy storage hormone so it’s going to store  

this glucose as fat and it’s also going to prevent  the mobilization or burning of this fat right here  

so both insulin resistance because it increases  insulin will cause fat and of course high glucose  

will cause fat right here just like i said right  here and then having fat keeps inflammation high  

and keeps everything kind of locked up and so  when i ask the question what is the primary way  

that you get into ketosis which is fat burning  not everyone said decrease carbs some people  

said you know take ketones which is not going  to help you lose weight because taking ketones  

is not going to turn your fat into more ketones  it’s going to give you more ketones as energy  

and you’ll feel a little bit better but it’s not  going to actually help you lose weight at all  

so the two things that cause you to get into  ketosis so number one drop your carbs lower your  

carbs and decrease the frequency of eating that’s  what causes ketosis so the fastest way to improve  

both diabetes and fixing a plateau situation  with your weight is to fix insulin resistance  

by lowering carbs and going on intermittent  fasting but let’s say you’re doing that  

and it’s too slow and you want to speed it up  well you can do things to drop inflammation by  

lowering your stress reducing your alcohol  reducing the omega-6 fatty acids very important  

making sure that you’re not taking too much iron  and also handling a hidden infection that could be  

blocking the whole thing oregano oil clove garlic  are really really important some people might have  

epstein-barr virus or they might have some type  of infection that is just keeping everything  

locked up so by completely getting rid of  inflammation in the body as well as getting  

on keto intermittent fasting you can rapidly  improve not just diabetes but you can bust  

through a plateau with your weight because you are  improving insulin resistance so anyway i hope this  

kind of clarified some things and for most people  you already know this data but for those of you  

who don’t it’s important to get the facts 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
