Why do people get sick? Infectious diseases like COVID-19 are one thing that we should be concerned about, but what about chronic conditions and baseline metabolic health that is the foundation for our everyday life and resilience? We bring back one of our favorite researchers in metabolism, Brigham Young University's Dr. Benjamin Bikman where we discuss insulin resistance, tissue specificity, ketosis, and low carbohydrate diets. This episode is jam-packed with new research and some highlights include: Insulin response of protein vs carbohydrates Glucose spikes and why they can be problematic Tissue and organ specificity of insulin resistance Low carbohydrate diets and mTor activation / inhibition Exercise and autophagy Check out Geoff and Dr. Bikman's first podcast here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMwlp2p1IwU&t;=172s Watch this episode on Youtube: https://youtu.be/DJhXq5DWj3s Learn More About H.V.M.N. here: https://hvmn.com/pod Join the Official H.V.M.N.
