It's Dr. Ben Bikman's third time on the Muscle Intelligence Podcast, and with good reason: Dr. Bikman's knowledge of human metabolism is matched by few.\xa0 He is among the world\u2019s foremost scientists on metabolic health and insulin resistance.\xa0\xa0Much of Dr. Bikman's recent lab work is focused on the pathogenicity of chronically elevated insulin.

On today's interview, Dr. Bikman breaks down the mechanisms behind optimizing the process of fat loss, debunks macronutrient myths, and reveals the truth about aging well.

You'll learn:
