Sugar Is Making Us Fat, Tired, and Sick (Rebroadcast)
b'This episode is brought to you by InsideTracker and ButcherBox.\\nMost of us hear the term \\u201cmetabolic health\\u201d and think it only applies to our ability to burn food and manage our weight. And while those are certainly big pieces of metabolic health, it also impacts everything from our cardiovascular health to cognition, mood, infertility, and so much more. That\\u2019s because our metabolism is actually our body\\u2019s ability to create energy and this happens all over the body. If our energy production in the brain is hindered, we could have memory loss; if it\\u2019s not functioning properly in muscle cells, we may see chronic pain\\u2014and the list goes on.\\xa0\\nIn today\\u2019s mini-episode, Dhru speaks with Dr. Benjamin Bikman and Dr. Casey Means about why insulin resistance has become so prevalent, and what makes us insulin resistant in the first place. They discuss how our diet and lifestyle have fundamentally changed in a way that greatly impacts how we regulate blood sugar, and how it\\u2019s wreaking havoc on our metabolic health. They also talk about how to reverse and prevent insulin resistance through specific diet and lifestyle modifications, and how we can use continuous blood glucose monitoring to dramatically improve our health.\\nDr. Benjamin Bikman is a renowned metabolic research scientist, and a popular speaker on human metabolism and nutrition. He is the author of Why We Get Sick, which offers a thought-provoking yet real solution to insulin resistance and how to reverse pre-diabetes, improve brain function, shed fat, and prevent diabetes.\\xa0\\nDr. Casey Means is a Stanford-trained physician, Chief Medical Officer and Co-founder of metabolic health company Levels, and Associate Editor of the International Journal of Disease Reversal and Prevention. \\nFind Dhru\\u2019s full-length conversation with Dr. Benjamin Bikman here: https://lnk.to/dhru-154/ and Dr. Casey Means here: https://lnk.to/dhru-170/.\\nThis episode is brought to you by InsideTracker and ButcherBox.\\n\\xa0\\nInsideTracker looks at everything from metabolic and inflammatory markers to nutrients and hormones.
