Description
In this episode we discuss:
How increasing carbohydrate intake actually improves insulin sensitivity, even in people with type 2 diabetes
The research showing that fatty liver disease and cardiovascular disease are both characterized by excess fatty acid oxidation
The research showing that fatty liver disease and cardiovascular disease are both characterized by excess fatty acid oxidation
Why strategies such as intermittent fasting, cold plunges, and OMAD (one meal a day) are not effective for improving insulin sensitivity

Timestamps:
0:00 – intro
1:17 – stress hormones (glucagon, epinephrine, and cortisol) are major contributors to insulin resistance and diabetes
4:05 – elevated glucagon levels, not carbohydrates, are the driving force behind high fasting blood glucose levels
6:43 – glucagon is a driver of insulin resistance, while insulin is just a symptom
12:46 – the research showing that blocking stress hormones directly improves insulin sensitivity
15:14 – “hormetic” stressors like intermittent fasting, cause insulin resistance
19:30 – fat burning drives insulin resistance and keeps us in a catabolic state, driving weight gain and muscle wasting
22:15 – cortisol drives insulin resistance and why serum cortisol levels don’t provide the full picture
25:00 – low-carb diets reduce insulin sensitivity while carbohydrate intake improves it
29:40 – decreasing fatty acid oxidation by increasing carb intake improves our ability to tolerate carbohydrates
33:46 – burning fat contributes to increased disease processes and does not lead to losing more body fat
38:04 – fatty acid oxidation damages our mitochondria and increases fat storage
46:22 – type 2 diabetes directly contributes to heart disease by upregulating fatty acid oxidation
52:05 – how to decrease fatty acid oxidation and improve glucose metabolism
