hello dr. Berg here in this video we’re going to talk about the deeper cause of

diabetes okay now in order to figure this out or figure out any problem now

we just have to understand what actually is the condition diabetes so this video

is about understanding what it really is a lot deeper typically when you think

about diabetes you always think about high blood sugar right a1c it’s an

average of three months of high blood sugar you do a fasting blood sugar okay

that’s how you diagnose diabetes go to the doctor

diabetes is high sugar right but let’s go deeper what causes the high sugar

that’s the question what controls the balance of sugar is insulin and insulin

has many functions but one main function is to act as a cellular key to allow

glucose to go into cell another function is to lower sugar so the obvious thing

is that diabetes really is an insulin deficiency okay that’s really what’s

causing it because if there wasn’t enough insulin the sugar is going to go

high that’s why it’s high in the first place and when you have insulin

deficiency especially in a pre-diabetic state called insulin resistance or just

diabetes and type 2 in general you have a situation where your body makes more

insulin to compensate for the insulin deficiency okay so if you look at the

cell the cell absorbs insulin and it’s supposed to then create a effect of

lowering the blood sugar so with insulin resistance the receptor starts blocking

right here then a signal is sent to the pancreas and of course it’s going to

start making more and more insulin so we can drive that communication into the

cell but the first thing that happens is that insulin deficiency so diabetes is

an insulin deficiency okay so let’s look at the big picture here we have a

situation we have insulin resistance okay really resistance means ignoring

now why would this little receptor ignore in front that’s what I want to

talk about next and that’s really the key to understanding the whole picture

insulin is a hormone hormones follow the law of communication so just like in

life why would you ignore someone typically because they’re obsessively

communicating eager talk to someone who just will not shut up they keep talking

over and over and over I mean you’ll be looking at something else over here and

they continue to communicate obsessively as you’re paying attention to them so

obviously they’re not in the present time right well the same thing happens

with the body there’s obviously too much obsessive

communication too much obsessive insulin that’s then causing the cell to ignore

that hormone okay that’s really what diabetes is your

little cells are ignoring insulin so then the next question is what causes

obsessive insulin secretion that’s where I have my favorite book Guyton

physiology and the reason I use physiology books because you it gives

it gives you the basic understanding that usually does not change over time it

usually stays consistent it’s how the body works control of influence

secretion so we want to know what controls or what triggers insulin to go

up what raises insulin right first thing it says formerly it was believed that

insulin secretion is controlled almost entirely by blood glucose concentration

okay so we basically had this idea that arrays and insulin was only coming from

high glucose in the blood which is after a carbohydrate meal or too much sugar so

that’s one cause right here because it right over here says insulin secretion

increases almost tenfold within three to five minutes after elevation of blood

glucose so you eat sugar eat refined carbs eat carbohydrates in general

you’re going to spike insulin sometimes by 10 fold down here it says the

concentration of blood glucose rises above 100 milligrams per deciliter of

blood that’s normal blood sugar that’s like one teaspoon

of sugar in a gallon and a half of blood in your entire body of blood okay so one

teaspoon since right here as the concentrations of blood glucose rise

above that so that’s like more than one teaspoon the rate of insulin secretion

rises rapidly reaching peaks some ten to thirty times the level of blood glucose

concentrations that’s a tremendous amount of spike in your sugar okay so

number one what will cause an obsessive communication is glucose or sugar or

carbs mainly refined carbs okay that’s level one number two second page other

factors that stimulate insulin secretion amino acids that’s protein those are

here amino acid administration in the absence of a rise in blood glucose

caused only a small increase in insulin secretion basically telling us that

protein or amino acids can cause a small rise in in front okay not it’s not

obviously as much as sugar but it’s definitely a small rise then it goes on

to say however when administered at the same time a blood glucose concentration

is elevated the glucose induce secretion of insulin may be as much as doubled in

the presence of the excess amino acid what does that mean it means that if you

add sugar or glucose with the needle acids primarily excess of amino acids

okay maybe too much you’re going to double the insulin and this is what I

have talked about in other videos you take a hotdog with the bun the ketchup

on the meat you add those two together fries a coke with your burger off like

the breaded meat all this sugar with the meat will double your insulin so you

don’t want to do that that’s the combination of those two things next

thing so we know sugar protein to some degree protein we sugar to a greater

degree the third thing gastrointestinal hormones

okay what is that well basically hormones that are triggered in your

digestive system when you eat okay says the gastrointestinal hormones

almost double the rate at insulin secretion following an average meal what

does that mean it means that eating in general triggers insulin okay so we got

sugar protein sugar with protein and eating triggers insulin other hormones

and the autonomic nervous system will also do it too that’s another trigger

mainly cortisol now cortisol is the stress hormone so stress will also

increase insulin as well but nowhere on this page in this chapter in this book

does it say that saturated fats triggers insulin so saturated fats is not the

cause of diabetes or insulin resistance it’s not in the physiology books okay so

really this is why when you go on a intermittent fasting ketogenic diet and

keep your carbs low below like between 20 and 50 grams when you don’t have

excessive protein and you definitely don’t combine protein with sugar you’re

going to improve diabetes and insulin resistance okay that’s really what’s

causing it that makes sense so if we don’t trigger insulin as much it can

heal and this resistance will go away and the body will start balancing out so

check out this great little demo on an actual person who applied this

information twenty I was kind of diagnosed with high cholesterol and got

high triglycerides and a lot of us hereditary my dad had it had all this as

well and that kind of started a chain of events for the next 20 years of me

fighting high cholesterol high triglycerides metabolic syndrome and

finally led to severe insulin resistance and the freaky dough I was on metformin

twice a day I was on I believe it was crustal and I was on a blood pressure

pill twice a day and now the only thing I take his official oil

magnesium I have my latest blood-borne I just had this done like like two weeks

ago if I can tell you the numbers real quick

my total cholesterol now is 241 my LVL is 151 my HDL is 70 and triglycerides or

55 triglycerides are one of the best indicators and you’re totally fine

you’re running on ketones big hand I had the particle test the particle

death done with this as well and the whole thing is in the large fluffy

category so it looks perfect that is so incredible one question on that your

father is he still around yeah I lost has the heart to be a lot of

years ago brain fed to grass-fed beef and butter pasture-raised eggs no

artificial sweeteners right now we use stevia for sweetener in our coffee so we

just made a huge change um since then so we’re now July I am now I checked I

weigh myself every Sunday I’m 192 pounds um my last month my doctor advised me

that my diabetes has been reversed I have an a1c of 5.2 ugly or 5.4 one of

those two my triglycerides went from 1375 to a little over 100 that’s normal

um everything just improved all my markers have improved cholesterol is

level it’s normal I had dramatic change okay if you
