The Secrets To Overcoming Insulin Resist...

DR. MINDY PELZ
About this episode

// R E A D Y • S E T • R E S E T

This episode is all about overcoming insulin resistance, accelerating weight loss, and the most significant signs of insulin resistance.

Benjamin Bikman earned his Ph.D. in Bioenergetics and was a postdoctoral fellow with the Duke-National University of Singapore in metabolic disorders.  Currently, his professional focus as a scientist and professor (Brigham Young University) is to understand better the role of elevated insulin in regulating obesity and diabetes, including the relevance of ketones in mitochondrial function.

Outside lab, Dr. Bikman is a devoted husband and father and enjoys nothing more than traveling and adventuring with his wife and three children.

In this podcast, we cover:

  • Why a majority of people are not metabolically flexible
  • How to truly know if you are insulin resistant
  • Ways to overcome insulin resistance
  • Why only twelve percent of Americans are metabolically fit
  • Which is worse: sugars or bad fats?
