Let’s clear up some confusion and conflicting information around insulin. DATA: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/14986904/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2764908/ Type 1 Diabetics MUST Do This to Reduce Insulin: ▶️ https://youtu.be/FloMuAVOwoA Insulin Index: ▶️ https://youtu.be/V3D4Uz_rH5U 0:00 Introduction: Insulin resistance 0:54 Understanding insulin 1:30 Insulin benefits 7:39 Is insulin bad or good? 9:30 How to fix insulin resistance 12:57 Learn more about the insulin index! 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 Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio: Dr. Berg, age 57, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

November 5 2022 I was 54 and I was 104kgs and pre diabetic. It was a long weekend and I binged watched this man’s channel on “get well to lose weight don’t lose weight to get well” . I am now 87 kilos using free weights and cycling three times a week. I feel like I am in my thirties and feeling really well. Listen to this man do your own research and act. 🙏🏼✨

Dr. Berg, as a former sugar addict, thank you for sharing your vital info. I now eat keto and my insomnia is 85% gone, my peripheral neuropathy is 100% gone and I've lost 7 lbs. so far. I'm more conscientious about reading labels. I bought an air fryer which has also changed my life. I tell everyone about you.

This is a very smart video that explains what he has been telling all the time about insulin but from another angle. Insulin isn't bad, its the long term habits of releasing so much of it that you body fails to release normal levels afterwards

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.
