Professor 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 better understand the role of elevated insulin and nutrient metabolism in regulating obesity, diabetes, and dementia. In this interview I speak with Professor Bikman about his research in Biochemistry and Insulin, and what exactly this does to our metabolism, health, and chronic disease. In this we cover: Insulin as a driver of disease, and how to stop and reverse it; Metabolic "flexibility"; Preventing and even healing Alzheimer's Disease and dementia; Diabetes; High Blood pressure; Ketones as anti-inflammatories and signaling molecules; Obesity and inflammation; Does protein raise blood sugar?; Ketones, fasting, starvation, and their differences; Does your brain run on ketones, or glucose?; Do we require dietary carbohydrates?; What about Fructose, honey, and Fruit?; High performance competition on Carnivore and "breaking through the Wall"; The science of weight loss; And much, much more!  Please watch, like, subscribe, comment, and leave a 5 star review where possible to help get this message out, and please send this to anyone you think would like it or benefit from it.
