This video should be seen by every person who is insulin resistant, diabetic, hypoglycemic etc. I wish doctors or the medical support teams would use this to educate people on how our bodies work internally.

Khan academy should be on my degree lol. These videos have been helping me in different classes for YEARS. I am so thankful for their team :')

[sarahholland]

This is incredible. Thank you for breaking down a very dense lecture into something immensely understandable!!!

Very fascinating that fatty acid is used for the brain and heart ! Learned something new as always from you guys, awesome! Keep on the hard work, you guys rock!

[mommifong]

Thank you a million I had the concept but now with you help I can explain it to a third grader. ❤

[shutupsebas]

I love you sm. I was reading articles, watching videos, searching up definitions and I didn’t understand it until now

Statement 'Ketone bodies are only used by heart / brain' is FALSE. Ketone bodies are used inside muscle cells, specific in mitochondria to produce ATP.
Gluconeogenesis is not driven by fatty acid or amino acids. It is driven by fatty acid and amino acids together. There is another kanacademy video which explains this much better.

Correction... The brain uses 120 grams of glucose a day if It readily available . However, if it isn’t, the liver makes enough to use. Additionally, the oxidative priority of using glucose is first, but the brain doesn’t use it as efficiently as the secondary fuel. The secondary fuel, if glucose can be reduced, is ketones. Ketones also form ATP. They supply energy throughout the whole body. You can stay in ketosis during feeding states. Carbohydrates reduction will keep you in a healthy state of ketosis. Ketones can be produced when well fed.

At 2:03 What about Keto dieters who eliminate glucose in their blood?
At 4:08 Are Keto dieters hypoglycemic?

I always wondered how this information was presented to non-Type 1 Diabetics! 😁👍 Cool! I learned some things… but I could also elaborate on some things. 😅
