How Insulin Works? – Insulin Resistance & Belly Fat Simplified by Dr.Berg

Dr. Berg talks about insulin and insulin resistance. Insulin feeds the cell its fuel to help store glucose into glycogen (stored sugar).

It helps convert excess sugar into fat. Insulin also helps absorbs protein and potassium.

If you experience high levels of dietary sugar over time, you can lead to insulin resistance. This condition can make you
1. Tired, esp. after meals
2. Cravings for sweets
3. Increase the need for urination at night
4. Brain fog
and many other issues like a fatty liver, belly fat, and inflammation.

This is how all teachers should teach and enlighten others. Especially in college.

This is my first time I understand the importance of insulin. Amazing.

[JaeChristineOfficial]

Wow, he put so much effort into making this video. Very admirable. 💫

One problem is so many people still fail to realize starches in rice, wheat, potatoes, and the like, are reading as sugar in the blood. I know people in insulin resistance who actually ate little straight up sugar over the years, but tons of starches and are frustrated about it because they misunderstand that it isn't strictly about sugar consumption.

Being diagnosed as a Type 2, at 39, just over 10 months ago was the best thing that has ever happen to me and my relationship with my wife. I was at first embarrassed and confused but determined to not end up in Big Pharma's grips. Thank you, Dr Berg, as well as Dr Fung for setting me on a path of healthy living, freedom from hunger and knowledge to help people around me. Through 8 months of 16:8, and now 2 months of continued intermitted fasting and Keto; my fasting numbers have gone from 8.3 to 4.9 and I've lost 50 pounds ( 228 to 178).

I needed to watch this 10 years ago. Glad I watched it today.

I was bloated for weeks, constantly cramping. His suggestion to do IF and cut back on the carbs really helped a ton.

[severitaln]

Man this doctor is totally the best! I mean he nails every single point! It’s amazing

[earthnativefarms]

Thanks, Dr. Berg, for all of the information! Life changing. I have been in ketosis for a couple of months and it has changed my life. Completely gave up a decades long beer habit, lost so much weight that people say I look like a different person, and as a result of the changes my neurotransmitters seem to be functioning in a perfect manner, leaving my mood, attitude and motivation levels at a lifelong best. I cannot express my gratitude enough. I will look back at this time period as the time when my life was drastically changed for the better with your videos as the catalyst. So glad I randomly saw that first video about ketosis on your Youtube! I send everybody that wonders how I changed so much, straight to your Youtube vids.

[proxymoxie]

Thank you doctor! I've been diagnosed with PCOS and wanted to learn about diabetes and insulin resistance. Your explanation is so clean and easy to understand. Your video is now the base to changing my life. Thank you again, sir! :D

[sjahbana]

your videos look better than before, kudos for the editor😁

[cynthiarucker]

Best explanation on this subject that I have ever seen!

[afringedweller]

I've been following your videos, and I ordered your book yesterday.  I'm thinking of becoming a member after having read the book a few times.   After being diagnosed with T2, I found out some of my family members had diabetes, and probably died from it, which is why I didn't get to know them very well.  In answer to my question, "Why didn't you guys tell me this before now?!" I got: "We didn't talk about those things back then."  

[Cougarsamurai]

Thanks Dr. B. I've been doing IF for 2 months now and the belly fat is visually decreasing. :)

[dreamseeker]

No one explains this better than you Dr. Berg! I started following your advice a couple of months ago and what a tremendous difference in my overall well-being and the belly fat is disappearing.Finally!! I became a certified health coach because I love this field so much but the course I took did not go into what you teach one bit!! I wish I could go back and have you as my teacher! Can't wait to get your book! Thank You much!
