In this episode, Dr. Steve addresses a fascinating question: Why do some people become obese without developing type 2 diabetes? With most obese individuals experiencing diabetes and metabolic issues, Dr. Steve explains the genetic reasons behind why about 20% don't. He explores insulin resistance, the roles of fat cells, and breaks down why traditional calorie-counting methods fail to address the root of the problem.

[00:01 - 10:24] The Role of Insulin in Obesity and Fat Storage

80% of obese people develop type 2 diabetes, but 20% do not.

Calorie counting and medication are ineffective long-term solutions for weight loss.

Insulin, not calorie intake, determines whether your body stores or burns fat.

Controlling carbs, prioritizing protein, and intermittent fasting can help manage insulin levels and promote fat burning.

[10:24 - 19:47] The Power of Fat as an Energy Source

A marathon runner fasted for 7 days and ran a marathon using stored fat for energy.

Fat provides long-lasting energy, unlike glucose, which needs constant replenishment.

Carb-loading is unnecessary if your body is trained to burn fat as its primary fuel source.

To effectively fast, end with protein and fat rather than carbs, to keep insulin levels low.

[19:48 -28:38] Genetics and Obesity Without Diabetes

20% of obese individuals don't develop diabetes due to genetic factors.

Some people have a fixed number of fat cells that enlarge (hypertrophy), leading to insulin resistance and diabetes.

Others can produce more fat cells (hyperplasia), allowing them to store fat without developing diabetes.

Enlarging fat cells release inflammatory cytokines, contributing to inflammation and disease.

[28:39 - 36:00] Closing Segment

Lipoprotein Lipase (LPL) plays a key role in fat storage, activated by insulin.

Lowering insulin through a low-carb, high-protein and fat diet and intermittent fasting prevents insulin resistance.

Focus on whole foods like real fruits, vegetables, and animal proteins to control insulin and burn fat.

Tweetable Quotes:

"If you want to lose weight, control your carbs, focus on fiber, prioritize protein, don't fear fat, and work your way up to fasting." - Dr. Steve Hughlett

"The more obese you are, the more inflammation you have in your body." - Dr. Steve Hughlett

"It does not depend on whether you have glucose or fat. As far as what your cells use for energy, it depends on your, insulin levels." - Dr. Steve Hughlett

"When you are in the fast, make sure you end it by eating protein and fat." - Dr. Steve Hughlett

In this episode, Dr. Steve dives deep into the three approaches to losing weight and reversing type 2 diabetes. He explores the different models—calorie restriction, medication, and the insulin model—explaining why one of them never works, one of them rarely works and one approach proves effective 100% of the time. Tune in as he unpacks the science behind insulin resistance, how modern food makes us sick, and the critical steps to not only losing weight but also reversing diabetes.

[00:01 - 13:18] The Calorie Model

• Why simply "eating less and exercising more" very rarely works for most people.
• How calorie restriction makes you constantly hungry and slows metabolism.
• The Biggest Loser show: a prime example of why calorie restriction backfires.
• Only about 5% of people succeed with this method, and it requires extreme grit.

[13:019 - 19:46] The Medical System Model

• Medications for type 2 diabetes often worsen the problem, not solve it.
• Drugs increase insulin, the exact issue causing diabetes in the first place.
• The GLP-1 agonists and their dangerous side effects, including permanent gut paralysis.
• Most diabetes medications come with multiple adverse effects and lead to polypharmacy.

[19:47 - 25:41] The Insulin Model

• Reversing diabetes by eating nutrient-rich foods that keep insulin levels low.
• The importance of animal proteins and fats in controlling hunger and weight.
• Why cutting out ultra-processed carbs is essential for reversing insulin resistance.
• Fasting as a powerful tool to speed up fat loss and reverse diabetes.

[25:42 - 33:26] Closing Segment

• Prioritize protein: animal protein provides essential amino acids your body needs.
• Embrace fat: good fats from animals provide essential nutrients, don't raise insulin and keep you feeling full.
• Control carbs: avoid processed carbs; eat whole, real foods like vegetables and fruits.
• Start fasting: keep insulin low by eating within a 6-8 hour window daily.

Tweetable Quotes:

"Anytime you have a model that says you can eat the exact same thing you have been eating, just decrease the amount, it makes no sense, because what you are eating is raising your insulin levels." - Dr. Steve Hughlett

"It is not about the calories. It's about the type of food that you eat." - Dr. Steve Hughlett

"Diabetes is a nutrition disease. It was caused by what you eat. It can only be cured by what you eat." - Dr. Steve Hughlett

"Avoid the food that keeps you hungry. Eat the food that keeps you satiated. That's real protein and real fat." - Dr. Steve Hughlett

"The food that you are eating that's making you sick is chemically made to make you sick." - Dr. Steve Hughlett

In this episode, Dr. Steve unpacks the concept of insulin resistance, explaining how frequent carbohydrate consumption leads to high insulin levels and fat storage around vital organs. He discusses the health risks associated with this condition, such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and multiple other organ failures. He emphasizes that the solution is reducing carbs, prioritizing protein, and incorporating healthy fats.

[00:01 - 07:20] Understanding Insulin & Its Role in the Body

Insulin is an energy-storage hormone secreted by the pancreas.

The body can use glucose or fat for energy; excess glucose is converted to fat.

High insulin levels lead to fat storage, while low levels promote fat burning.

Overeating glucose causes insulin resistance as the body can't store more fat.

[07:22 - 14:51] The Dangers of Insulin Resistance

High blood insulin levels are the root cause of type 2 diabetes, not just high blood glucose.

Type 1 and type 2 diabetes are opposite conditions: type 1 lacks insulin, while type 2 has too much.

Treating type 2 diabetes with more insulin is like giving alcohol to an alcoholic—it worsens the condition.

The solution is to reduce carbohydrate intake, as carbohydrates are the source of excess glucose.

Current treatment recommendations focus on managing glucose but overlook the critical role of insulin.

[14:52 - 23:24] Reversing Type 2 Diabetes with Nutrition

Avoid ultra-processed carbs, as they contribute to insulin resistance and poor health.

If you decide you just want some carbohydrates, for whatever reason, choose whole foods like fruits and vegetables with natural fiber to slow glucose absorption and prevent insulin spikes.

High insulin levels block fat burning, leading to hunger and weight gain.

Reducing calories without changing food quality keeps insulin high and causes constant hunger.

Avoid combining fats and carbs, as this promotes insulin spikes and fat storage.

[23:25 - 33:018] Closing Segment

Food companies use addictive ingredients like salt, sugar, and seed oils.

Medications for type 2 diabetes don't address the root cause and can worsen the condition.

High glucose and insulin levels lead to serious health problems like heart disease and stroke.

Medications have side effects, creating a cycle of dependency.

Reducing carbs, eating whole foods, eating mostley animal protein and fat, and intermittent fasting can lower insulin and reverse type 2 diabetes.

In this episode, Dr. Steve tackles the question we all have: "Who do we believe when it comes to healthy nutrition?" With so much conflicting information, Dr. Steve uncovers the truth behind processed foods, the real cause of chronic diseases, and why choosing whole, natural foods is essential for your health. He also dives into the role of inflammation, insulin, and how to navigate the overwhelming world of diets, giving you practical tips to take control of your health.

[00:01 - 07:46] Sorting Through Diet Confusion

How processed foods and chemicals have overtaken our diets.

Why so many diets exist and how to know which one to trust.

Key similarities among popular diets that actually work.

The importance of sticking to whole, God-made foods.

[07:47 - 14:34] Why Are We So Sick?

Chemicals from food, cosmetics, water, and the environment trigger an inflammatory response in the body.

The shocking truth about how these oils are processed with chemicals.

How a high Omega-6 to Omega-3 ratio leads to inflammation.

[14:35 - 21:02] Understanding the Role of Insulin and Inflammation

Carbohydrates, especially processed ones, raise blood glucose, which triggers insulin release.

Insulin helps store excess glucose as fat, making it impossable to burn fat.

Ultra-processed foods cause high glucose spikes and constant hunger.

Whole fruits and vegetables raise insulin less, while fats don't raise insulin at all.

[21:03 - 35:25] The Foundation of a Healthy Diet

The body needs water, vitamins, amino acids, fatty acids, and minerals to function properly.

Processed foods offer no real nutrition, only chemicals and additives.

Real, whole foods like animal proteins and fats provide all necessary nutrients.

Avoid ultra-processed foods and focus on nutrient-dense options for long-term health.

[35:26 - 41:03] How to Evaluate a Diet

Focus on diets that recommend whole, single-ingredient foods like animal proteins, fruits, and vegetables.

Avoid diets that exclude animal fats or proteins as they provide essential nutrients.

Stick with nutrient-dense foods that don't require a label, avoiding processed foods full of chemicals.

Prioritize real food and water for long-term health.

In this episode, Dr. Steve interviews Dr. Stephen Hussey to discuss the true causes of heart disease and the role stress, inflammation, and lifestyle play in our overall health. Dr. Stephen shares his personal journey with heart disease and challenges conventional views on cholesterol and heart attacks. Discover actionable insights on how sunlight, grounding, and stress management can support heart health.

Dr. Stephen Hussey MS, DC is a Chiropractor and Functional Medicine practitioner. He attained both his Doctorate of Chiropractic and Masters in Human Nutrition and Functional Medicine from the University of Western States in Portland, OR. He is a health coach, speaker, and the author of two books on health; The Health Evolution: Why Understanding Evolution is the Key to Vibrant Health and Understanding The Heart: Surprising Insights Into The Evolutionary Origins Of Heart Disease – And Why It Matters. Dr. Hussey guides clients from around the world back to health by using the latest research and health-attaining strategies. In his downtime, he likes to be outdoors, play sports, read, write, and travel.

[00:01 - 15:04] Dr. Stephen Hussey's Health Journey

Developed chronic inflammatory conditions in childhood, including severe allergies and IBS.

Diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at age 9 due to inflammation and insulin deficiency.

Despite managing diabetes and leading a healthy lifestyle, Dr. Stephen had a heart attack at age 34.

Dr. Stephen questions conventional heart disease advice and shares insights on alternative approaches to managing heart health.

[15:05 - 22:52] The Heart Attack at 34

Heart attack at the age of 34, despite healthy lifestyle choices.

Discussion of the CAC (Coronary Artery Calcification) score showing no calcified plaque.

The unexpected clot that caused the heart attack.

Reflections on emergency care and the use of stents.

Dr. Stephen shares how lifestyle changes like infrared light therapy and grounding helped reverse artery blockage.

[22:53 - 43:41] The Role of Sunlight, Grounding, and Structured Water

Atherosclerosis and heart attacks are largely caused by clotting tissue, not just cholesterol buildup.

Structured water, formed by the body, protects arteries and prevents clotting.

Infrared light and grounding can help improve blood flow by building structured water in the body.

Lifestyle changes, like exposure to sunlight and infrared light, can reverse artery blockages and reduce inflammation.

[43:42 - 57:37] Heart Disease and the Role of Clotting and Blood Flow

Coronary heart disease is largely caused by clotting tissue, not cholesterol buildup.

Stenosis (narrowing of arteries) doesn't always lead to heart attacks; the body can create collateral arteries to bypass blockages.

Structured water, energized by infrared light and grounding, plays a critical role in protecting arteries and improving blood flow.

Standard heart procedures, like stents and bypass surgeries, don't reduce long-term heart attack risk without addressing underlying causes of clotting.

[57:38 - 01:04:45] Managing Stress for Heart Health

Chronic stress triggers inflammation and increases the risk of clotting in the body.

Feeling out of control or in unpredictable situations leads to more harmful stress responses.

Building coherence in life—through nature, mindfulness, and positive relationships—can help lower stress.

Stress, poor lifestyle, and environmental toxins all contribute to heart disease more than cholesterol alone.

The process of digestion from the mouth to the intestine ensures long-lasting satiety.

The powerful effect of amino acids and fatty acids on appetite regulation.

Why a fatty meal can keep you full for up to 48 hours.

[12:11 - 21:47] The Problem with Carbohydrates

Carbohydrates are broken down into glucose, leading to quick spikes in insulin.

Unlike proteins and fats, carbs don't keep you full and can make you hungrier.

How constant carbohydrate intake leads to insulin resistance and inflammation.

Dr. Steve warns about the hidden dangers of ultra-processed carbs in modern diets.

[21:48 - 35:57] The Dangers of Appetite-Suppressing Drugs

These drugs artificially delay stomach emptying, causing a variety of health issues.

Long-term effects include malnutrition, muscle loss, and serious side effects.

Dr. Steve urges listeners to avoid these medications and switch to a nutrient-rich diet.

How relying on these drugs only masks the real problem: poor nutrition.

In this episode, Dr. Steve dives into the critical role of insulin in managing diabetes and explains the differences between type 1 and type 2 diabetes. He discusses the impact of different types of carbohydrates on insulin levels, the dangers of insulin resistance, and the severe condition known as diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). This episode provides practical advice for managing diabetes through diet and careful insulin management to prevent serious complications.

[00:01 - 03:47] Understanding Insulin and Its Impact on Health

Insulin is an energy-storage hormone released by the pancreas.

Fat does not increase insulin levels, but carbohydrates do.

High insulin levels are linked to diabetes and various organ failures.

Type 2 diabetes is caused by insulin resistance, not just high blood glucose.

[03:48 - 10:31] The Role of Carbohydrates in Insulin Response

Carbohydrates break down into glucose, raising insulin levels significantly.

God-made carbs (fruits, vegetables) have a different insulin impact than man-made carbs.

Processed carbs lead to sustained high insulin levels, causing insulin resistance.

The liver manages glucose by storing it as glycogen or converting it to fat.

[10:31 - 20:54] Type 1 vs. Type 2 Diabetes

Type 1 diabetics don't produce insulin, leading to high glucose and fat burning.

Type 2 diabetes is caused by excessive carbohydrate intake and insulin resistance.

Historical terms like "juvenile diabetes" and "adult-onset diabetes" are now obsolete.

Mismanagement of insulin in type 2 diabetics leads to "double diabetes.

Proper nutrition is crucial for managing both types of diabetes, with a focus on reducing carbs.

[20:55 - 31:53] Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) and Its Dangers

DKA occurs when insulin is absent, leading to high glucose and ketone levels.

Symptoms include sweet-smelling breath and dangerously high blood glucose.

Rapid reduction of blood glucose in DKA can cause cerebral edema.

Slow glucose reduction and proper insulin management are vital in DKA treatment.
