Dr. Bikman takes a moment to outline methods for assessing one's own insulin resistance status, recognizing limitations in traditional approaches that solely focus on glucose levels. He stresses the importance of understanding insulin's broader role beyond glucose regulation, highlighting the significance of elevated insulin levels as an early indicator of resistance.
Dr. Dominic D’Agostino is sitting down with world-renowned metabolic scientist, Ben Bikman, PhD, to explore the ins and outs of insulin resistance, Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM), and ways to manage, and even reverse, both.
Insulin resistance silently shapes the trajectory of nearly every major chronic disease, yet it's often overlooked until blood sugar abnormalities become obvious. In this episode, Dr. Ben Bikman exposes the dietary culprits that drive metabolic dysfunction and highlights actionable, evidence-based tactics for improving metabolic health. Ben also addresses pressing questions about popular weight loss medications like Ozempic and other GLP-1 agonists:
People will often ask me why "their keto" has stalled. They feel they're eating the right things, including products labeled "Keto", yet they're not losing weight and not feeling better. The answer, I believe, can often be found on the backs of the packages of food we buy.
