Why is insulin so important for us to control and why does a ketogenic diet help so many people? Professor Ben Bikman has been studying these questions in his lab at BYU for years and he is one of the foremost authorities on the subject. As you will see in this interview, he is also passionate about this topic. He describes the roles of insulin and glucagon, how protein intake affects them, the role of ketones as a metabolic actor, and of course the practical aspects of living low carb while being a father, a husband and a researcher.
