Today I want to share something about insulin that you may have never heard before and clear up some confusion regarding insulin.
The main reason why the keto diet and intermittent fasting work so well to support a healthy body is that they both help lower insulin.
However, insulin has certain benefits. This is where the confusion starts. How can insulin be harmful and also have health benefits?
Potential health benefits of insulin:
• It helps lower blood sugar levels
• It supports muscle growth
• It protects against muscle atrophy
• It supports the arteries
• It helps lower LDL cholesterol
• It helps lower blood pressure
• It lowers the production of glucose in the liver
• It supports the absorption of potassium and magnesium
• It suppresses lipolysis
• It is a potent anti-inflammatory
• It has antioxidant properties
• Insulin nasal spray is used to help people who have dementia
• It helps increases testosterone
• It helps lower uric acid
The real problem is with the insulin receptors. When the receptors become resistant, as in insulin resistance, we lose the function of insulin.
When someone has insulin resistance, they actually have an insulin deficiency. You may have excess insulin in your blood, but it’s not affecting the receptors.
A high level of insulin is what creates insulin resistance. The more you increase insulin, the less the receptors will work.
The best ways to fix insulin resistance:
1. Get on the Healthy Keto® diet
2. Start doing intermittent fasting
3. Get regular exercise
4. Reduce your stress
5. Get plenty of sleep
The best natural remedies for insulin resistance:
• Apple cider vinegar (1 Tbsp in water)
• Berberine
• Cinnamon
• Chromium
• Zinc
• Vitamin D
• Magnesium
• Potassium
• Omega-3 fatty acids

    Hey buddy, 2 can play this game! August 4, 2021 I did the same thing as you at 185 pounds (84 Kg). I too was a prediabetic with fatty liver disease. You may think 185 is not too heavy but you need to know I'm only 5'5" tall. I started by dropping all sugar drinks, intermittent fasting at 18:6 for a couple of months then went to prolonged fasting every two months for 4-5 days. Net result was 52 pounds lost and am off 7 daily medications, 4 prescription. I take nothing and like you feel 30 again. I did this at age 60. Yep, Dr. Berg did it to me too!

What I did not realize was the frequency of eating issues that occur. I have to say all those pains left my body within weeks of healthy Keto. I have been joint pain free since I started getting serious about following your guidelines. I will admit I do cheat once in a while but by sticking with it 90%+ most of the time its working great for me. I am over 60 and feeling great!! Thanks!! Terry

    Hi Doctor, i am type 1 diabetic. kindly research over the increased TSH levels & inulin sensitivity as whenever my TSH level goes up it gets difficult for me to control sugar levels. Usually i take 15-17 units of insulin but when my tsh level shoots up i have to take double the amount of insuin to manage it. One more thing i have recently started eating black wheat flour produced in India itself. It is also helping me reducing my blood sugar levels it is completely gluten free and tasty too. So, if you feel that these above two things are worth researching plz do it as it will help thousands of people to get benefited. Thank a ton.

    I like this take on insulin. It seems to be a good way to explain the issues to a novice. Since you mentioned a bunch of supplements may I suggest a video that may help a lot of people: Some supplements are better taken at certain times and on empty stomach and others with a meal. The instructions on the label may or may not issue the best doses either. Then the instructions appear to be based on the 3 meals a day plus snacks schedule that is so common. So I am interested to know which supplement to take when on a 2 meals a day and OMAD schedule. I am not where I want to be but I have gone a long way with the help of your videos. I am fighting psoriasis.

    One time (years ago) I went to a new doctor. She said, "you have blood sugar issues. I want you to eat 6 small meals a day." She may have also recommended snacks, too, I don't remember now. I thought, OMG, SIX "small" meals a DAY? I did try to comply, but it felt like I was in the kitchen ALL DAY, either preparing, eating, or cleaning up. Not what I wanted to do with my life! But I did try it for a while. By and by I stopped that, and also stopped seeing that doc. I much prefer to eat once or twice a day. No more of this "continuous drip" six ("small") meals a day for me. Your recommendations, Dr. Berg, make SO Much more sense, and are so much easier to live with! Thank you for making these videos.

    I remember when my dad became a type2 diabetic, and being taught the first function of insulin was to turn sugars into fat storage. If that is true, it also explains these ying yang effects of insulin. High sugars in the blood having high insulin levels trying to convert those sugars into fat storage, creating insulin resistance in cells, because there is to much if it. Leading to the ill effects parts of insulin. Still the solution would be to cut the sugars, cut the carbs, The Healthy Ketogenic Diet, and intermittent fasting. Then insulin doesn't need to spike, and can do the beneficial things it does. Does that make sense?

Berg, I guess it may be high time to put things to be put back into perspective, especially when there's talking about good & bad😌. Isn't it comparable to the "never ending story" of the alleged "battle" between proces and function, the chicken or the egg, the beginning (A) and the end (O)🙃?! Btw, the receptor part is often left out when generally explained, so great thanks to contributing to telling the whole (some) story and dito facts, I synchronistically spoke of components mentioned at the end, to someone close this very morning 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙂!!

    Ray Peat and numerous other researchers have been asserting this for years. The issue is not with the carbs or insulin but with the inadequate metabolism of glucose. Berg is gradually becoming more receptive to this concept as he undoubtedly conducts extensive research. However, what will it take for him to acknowledge that adopting keto as a lifestyle may not be a sound idea?

The exercise part, specifically HIIT or weights is makes you the opposite of insulin resistant, it makes you insulin sensitive. Yes, that was a bit of a body builder channel.

    Wow! More information that you can only get from Dr Berg. Type 2 diabetic, beating it with IF and low carb, Keto. I was thinking about asking my Dr to do HOMA IR test. He always says my pancreas is producing plenty of insulin, but can he know without that test? As Dr B says, I still struggle with the Dawn Phenomenon. Maybe there is a test for high Cortisol or that may be part of regular blood work? Thanks Doc.

    As someone with type 1, whenever I do daily CARDIO (break out into sweats is the key here) and I have 0 carbs during the day my insulin demands of fast acting insulin are around 10-14 units. When I'm doing liberal Keto (30-40 grams of carbs) and I weight train, I need around 30 units of fast acting insulin

    @@kmiller36 For me personally, lots of trial and error. My doctors were useless. Also type 1 & type 2 are vastly different. Furthermore, even if two people have the same diagnosis (type 1) they will experience things differently. I would HIGHLY recommend.a freestyle libre 2 or 3, as this makes your life way easier measuring your glucose levels. I had to fly out of my country to get one since not every EU country provides them. Also, from what I understand, if you are pre-diabetic for type 2, it could be reversible with lifetime diet and exercise intervention. For type 1 it is more severe and bleak as I understand there is no cure.

    Have you read "Why we get sick" by Dr. Ben Bikman, PhD? He's a cell biologist. That's an amazing book about insulin resistance. I would disagree about LDL being a marker for metabolic syndrome, HDL and triglycerides would be a better marker. Also one of the reason why exercise is so important for becoming insulin sensitive is because it overrides the fat cells demand for insulin. It tells the body that the muscles takes priority for insulin taking away from the fat cell allowing it to become more sensitive.

    Dr. Berg, Today I started keto diet. This month I also began semaglutide injections to help me lose 50 pounds gained since menopause. Though originally for diabetics, semaglutide is now being prescribed for weight loss. I am not diabetic. It is my understanding semaglutide increases the amount of insulin produced by the pancreas while decreasing glucagon produced by the liver. It has curbed my appetite and carb cravings. However, in learning how insulin wrecks our health, what is your opinion regarding the use of semaglutide and might it hurt or help my keto journey?

    I’ve theorized that vascular calcification is almost entirely due to sugar over time in the blood stream. Sugar is sticky. Everything you have mentioned either seems like a direct result of insulin or a result of less sugar in the blood stream ie… insulin help blood pressure. It certainly would if the vascular can expand and contract properly. We didn’t evolve to deal with the excess of carbs we have available to us.. in particular sugar

    Berberine and cinnamon have never had much of an effect on me, but the other 12 on that 14 point list are all good. In my view overconsumption is the biggest issue, and eating less frequently while controlling calories if you are insulin resistant is probably more key than macronutrient balance. You can eat only protein and fat, but if you overeat, your blood glucose will still spike, just slower. The rate at which blood glucose rises and the resulting insulin change (injected or not) matters a great deal for all of the downstream effects of insulin. It's very easy to take all this for granted until it no longer works, and then information like this is valuable. I look forward to more content in this direction as Dr Berg explains complex things in a simple way.
