hey guys in this video I want to review

a paper that was suggested by a guy that

I just interviewed named Ivan Cummings

brilliant guy he’s an engineer and he

sent me this link of this amazing paper

and I put a link down below so you can

get a copy of it too so this paper

revolves around the concept that when

you do gastric bypass you actually

correct high insulin even if the insulin

resistance remains okay so actually

doing gastric bypass can reverse type 2

diabetes among other diseases associated

with metabolic syndrome now a metabolic

syndrome typically is high blood

pressure high cholesterol diabetes or

prediabetes central obesity Harting of

the arteries that’s typically what

metabolic syndrome is okay so this

observation has led researchers to

examine if these diseases were actually

caused by high insulin because if you

look up metabolic syndrome it always

will say high insulin or insulin

resistance is associated with metabolic

syndrome or these other conditions it

never gets into if it causes it okay

so they reviewed 423 publications but

only selected 58 because out of all

these publications only 58 measured

insulin so they wanted just to focus on

those and what they found is quite

remarkable they found high blood

pressure high cholesterol diabetes

atherosclerosis central obesity that’s a

that’s belly fat non-alcoholic fatty

liver disease polycystic ovarian

syndrome sleep apnea certain cancers 14

of them and cardiovascular disease all

shared a common etiology okay

etiology means that causes something in

other words it’s pretty obvious that

high insulin causes all of these this

metabolic syndrome isn’t some mysterious

disease that’s complex it’s purely just

a name describe these specific symptoms

I’m going to call them symptoms that are

all coming from high

insolence so let’s just kind of go

through this in this section right here

they’re looking at actual d function of

insulin and if you have too much insulin

what symptoms it creates right simulates

the sympathetic nervous system and

increases sodium or tension well that’s

going to increase blood pressure okay so

it’s a direct effect increasing PCOS

polycystic ovarian because insulin

increases androgens it also increases

something called foam cell formation and

giving you like a building up the plaque

in the artery that causes heart disease

that’s coming from high insulin check

this it says hence patients with

hyperglycemia that’s high sugar like in

diabetes or prediabetes inevitably have

a preexisting high insulin level

assuming their pancreas remains

functional so in other words you have

high insulin first and then you get high

blood sugars so traditionally high

insulin has been considered a response

to insulin resistance so they’re

basically saying high insulin is a side

effect of his insulin resistance however

our previous findings suggest that high

insulin is primary in diabetes type 2

which means high insulin causes it and

insulin resistance is most likely a

secondary response by the cells so

basically you have high insulin and then

insulin resistance and then diabetes now

the problem is that you’re never checked

for high insulin right you just they

never check that they’re focusing on

blood glucose which is late on the chain

of events okay so then we get to the

discussion okay can increase insulin be

used as a clinical marker in primary

care setting for early diagnosis and

preventive care and would these markers

be more effective than glucose levels

I’m gonna answer that that’s a big fat

yes okay yes we want to check insulin

first it’s more important than even

checking your glucose levels number two

with pharmacological intervention that

normalizes

blood insulin levels before the

emergence of glucose intolerance and

hyperglycemia that’s high blood glucose

be a beneficial

approach to hinder the progression of

metabolic disorders that answer is no we

don’t want to use drugs we want to do it

with diet okay and finally they’re

talking about why would we give people

insulin or medication that raises

insulin and diabetes type 2 if the cause

is high insulin after all we do not

treat hyperthyroidism with additional

thyroxine why are we treating a disease

associated with hyper insulin with

additional insulin so I think this

article is very valuable because there’s

certain researchers now that are

starting to becoming aware of the

connection between insulin and so many

health problems so I put a link down

below check out the article and also

send this to your doctor so they can be

educated on some real interesting

invaluable information so I want to know
