Podcast Video: Symptoms & Diseases Tied to INSULIN RESISTANCE & Metabolism with Dr. Ben Bikman
This podcast episode was originally published on November 29, 2021.
Many diseases traditionally associated with aging have a metabolic root cause, including seemingly-unrelated conditions like tinnitus and gallbladder stones. But with a metabolic origin (specifically with insulin resistance), there can be a metabolic solution. Blood glucose levels and insulin are tied to many more chronic diseases than just Type 2 Diabetes.
Ben Bikman, PhD, the doctor at the forefront of research and thought leadership on insulin resistance, digs deep in this video with Levels’ Chief Medical Officer and co-founder Dr. Casey Means to uncover the connection between metabolic health and surprising disorders that surface as a result of insulin resistance.
What they discuss:
A ray of hope in declining health
Metabolic connections for tinnitus, vertigo, and hearing loss
Undiagnosed metabolic disorders later surface in disease
Insulin resistance and GERD
How insulin resistance contributes to gallblader stones
NAFLD and clearing the liver of fat buildup
Two types of fat cell disorders: hypertropy and hyperplasia
Two foods to avoid for optimized health
When a low carb diet spikes blood glucose
The data power that a CGM gives you
A unique perspective on healthy glucose levels
