How Insulin Resistance Drives Fatty Liver, Cognitive Issues, Metabolic Syndrome, And More

This episode is brought to you by Paleovalley and Athletic Greens.
Food should be a tool for helping us feel our best. But most people
don’t realize what kind of impact many of the foods they eat are
having on their blood sugar—and subsequently their entire body. The
symptoms of blood sugar imbalances are everyday occurrences for
most people. Feeling hungry even when you just ate, craving sweets,
and dealing with acne, hormonal imbalances, and signs of aging,
like wrinkles, are just a few of the many symptoms of blood sugar
swings. When these continue to go unchecked, more severe
dysfunctions can occur, like type 2 diabetes, infertility, fatty
liver disease, and dementia.  In today’s episode, I talk with
Dr. Ben Bikman, Dhru Purohit, and Dr. Ronesh Sinha about how common
dietary patterns like eating simple carbs throughout the day create
constant insulin spikes leading to insulin resistance, which in
turn contributes to many diseases and aging.   Dr. Ben Bikman
is a renowned metabolic research scientist and a popular speaker on
human metabolism and nutrition. Backed by years of research, Dr.
Bikman’s mission is to help the world appreciate the prevalence and
relevance of insulin resistance. He is the author of the book Why
We Get Sick, which offers a thought-provoking yet real solution to
insulin resistance and reversing prediabetes, improving brain
function, shedding fat, and preventing diabetes.   Dhru
Purohit is a podcast host, serial entrepreneur, and investor in the
health and wellness industry. His podcast, The Dhru Purohit
