Dr Will Bulsiewicz returns to discuss more on how to optimise your metabolism and explains the crucial role your gut microbiome plays in achieving balance

Both fat and blood sugar play significant roles and they are interconnected and how our microbiome interacts with our diet is key with fibre vital in supporting a healthy microbiome

You can rebalance and reset your microbiome and Dr Will has great advice on how you can take individualised action right now to make a positive difference to your gut health and metabolism

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Insulin resistance is pre-diabetes, when you reach a point where your pancreas is producing as much insulin as possible and  not able to achieve balance you have type 2 diabetes
• Lipotoxicity is the free fatty acids in the body blocking the path of the blood sugar into the tissues
• Carbohydrates are interconnected with insulin resistance and play a role in the imbalance
• The level of the free fat in the blood that translates ultimately into insulin resistance
• When the fat cells are full the fat moves into the bloodstream
• Mechanisms for getting free fat include obesity and diet
• We believe that of the 8 billion people on the planet no two microbiomes are the same
• This unique individuality explains our very individual response to food, one size doesn’t fit all
• Specific foods react differently with different people's microbiomes
• Trans fats and saturated fats drive up free fatty acids and predispose us to insulin resistance
• The omega 6’s saturates the receptors, that are allowing us to make the conversion away from ALA and other forms of omega 3
• Sustainability has to be part of the conversation and oysters could be part of the solution

 

BEST MOMENTS

‘There is an explosion of insulin resistance-related conditions right now in both adults and kids’
