when we're looking at smoking versus vaping vaping is probably worse in terms of the damage to the airway and the
insulin resistance that comes from it but this gets worse because we know that insulin resistance is the core for most
chronic diseases that are killing us and there's a handful of other lifestyle habits that's contributing to it that's
horrifying so tell me everything Dr Benjamin bman is a leading metabolic scientist whose research focuses on the
hidden epidemic of insulin resistance and its devastating consequences and by regaining control of your insulin levels
he says you can regain control of your life insulin is a hormone affects literally every single cell of the body
but if those cells become insulin resistant you start to spread the disease for example they call
Alzheimer's insulin resistance of the brain and even the most common forms of infertility erectile dysfunction and
PCOS insulin resistance is a heavy contributor now 88% of adults in the US have some degree of insulin resistance
and people hear this and think America is just fat and metabolically sick but we're not actually the worst country
when it comes to this and part of it is because of how different ethnicities store fat I'll come back to that there's
two roads to insulin resistance so there's the fast lane and I could make you insulin resistant in 6 hours with
either of these common three things but if I removed them your resistance would go away just as quickly now the slow
lane that's a problem and there's certain lifestyle habits and problems with our diets that are massively
contributing to slow insulin resistance now thankfully this can be resolved through four pillars which are very
simple we'll get into that but why don't we just sack all this off and just take as EMP well because people may not know
about the negative side effects for example 40% of the weight that people are losing on these drugs is coming from
highly I have been forced into a bet with my team we're about to hit 10 million
subscribers on YouTube which is our biggest Milestone ever thanks to all of you and we want to have a massive party
for the people that have worked on this show for years behind the scenes so they said to me Steve for every new
subscriber we get in the next 30 days can $1 be given to our celebration fund for the entire team and I've agreed to
the bet so if you want to say thank you to the team behind the scenes at di of all you've got to do is hit the
subscribe button so actually this is the first time I'm going to tell you not to subscribe because it might end up
costing me an [Applause] [Music]
awful Benjamin what is the mission that you're on my mission is to help people
appreciate that much of chronic disease we look at them as these siloed individual distinct disorders with
totally distinct Origins and yet much of them share a common core it's as if their branches growing from the same
tree in the conventional clinical care will look at these branches and give someone a prescription for a medication...

00:02:18 awful Benjamin what is the mission that you're on my mission is to help people
00:02:27 appreciate that much of chronic disease we look at them as these siloed individual distinct disorders with
00:02:35 totally distinct Origins and yet much of them share a common core it's as if their branches growing from the same
00:02:42 tree in the conventional clinical care will look at these branches and give someone a prescription for a medication
00:02:50 which is only going to prune the branch back a little bit never actually solving the problem it can just grow right back
00:02:58 and so we can look at most of these chronic diseases that are killing us globally and and then say
00:03:05 okay there are in fact some simple lifestyle changes that can be implemented that will help reduce the
00:03:11 risk of not only one or two but all of the top killers from things like Alzheimer's disease to uh heart disease
00:03:18 to type two diabetes to uh liver failure fatty liver disease all of them share a common metabolic core that's my mission
00:03:27 and what is that common metabolic core yeah it's a little known problem called insulin resistance in fact when I first
00:03:36 started this topic I stumbled on one paper that documented how when fat tissue is growing it increases the risk
00:03:46 of type two diabetes that was this concept in the early 2000s that was really getting a lot of attention
00:03:52 diabesity this kind of dual epidemic of wherever we see obesity we see more type two diabetes in this manuscript outlined
00:04:00 something that was to me a revelation at the time it was so fascinating where when fat tissue is growing it starts
00:04:06 releasing pro-inflammatory proteins that inflammation caused a problem called insulin resistance and
00:04:14 then that got me into this realm of understanding that other tissues of the body as they become insulin resistant
00:04:21 then you start to spread the chronic disease and and essentially coming to the conclusion
00:04:28 that something like hypertension high blood pressure which is the most common cardiovascular problem and the main
00:04:34 contributor to heart disease well insulin resistance is the main cause of hypertension um they call Alzheimer's
00:04:41 disease type 3 diabetes or more accurately um insulin resistance of the brain even the most common forms of
00:04:48 infertility in men it's erectile dysfunction well that's because of insulin resistance of the blood vessels
00:04:54 in women the most common form of infertility is polycystic ovary syndrome or PCOS that's because of the insulin
00:05:01 resistance affecting her ovaries and the ability to produce the proper sex hormones I guess the really important
00:05:07 question here is what is insulin resistance and can you explain this to me like I'm a 10-year-old oh yeah for
00:05:13 sure insulin resistance is it's kind of a it's a disorder that has two parts it's like a coin with two sides that as
00:05:20 much as we think of we we think of one side just because we hear the word insulin resistance but there's another
00:05:27 part to it that I need to that is very important so insulin first of all is a hormone that we make from the pancreas a
00:05:34 long kind of gland tucked underneath the stomach and the pancreas is a very busy organ it makes a lot of different
00:05:41 hormones it makes hormones that come into the blood it also makes enzymes that go into the into the intestines to
00:05:47 help digest food but among the hormones that are being released into the blood is insulin now in the person with type
00:05:55 one diabetes their immune system has destroyed their beta cells so they don't make insulin anymore that's why for a
00:06:02 person with type 1 diabetes insulin is a life-saving therapy you're giving them what they're not making anymore but for
00:06:08 everybody else we have beta cells and they're releasing insulin when they need to now usually the main...
