In this video, I want to talk about a question I received from someone who was wondering how to reverse insulin resistance.

What is insulin resistance? - It’s a condition where the cells are no longer absorbing insulin. Without insulin, the cells can’t get fuel, so they’re starving. This makes you crave carbohydrates. A signal is then sent to the pancreas, telling it to make more insulin. The average person with insulin resistance has 5-7 times more insulin than normal.

High levels of insulin can create:
 • Starved cells
 • High blood sugar
 • Damage in the body

What causes insulin resistance? - Overexposure to insulin (chronic carbs and frequent eating)

How do we fix this problem? - The prolonged absence of insulin. 

If you don’t fix insulin resistance:
 • You’re not going to experience weight loss
 • You’re going to be hungry all of the time

In my opinion, it takes about 3-8+ months to reverse insulin resistance. My guess is that healthy keto with intermittent fasting is responsible for 90%+ of improvements. Healthy keto provides the key nutrients you need to help speed up the process.

If you want to enhance your results, you can:
 • Add exercise 
 • Lower your stress
 • Get more sleep 
 • Get plenty of nutrients (zinc, vitamin D, chromium, potassium, magnesium)

How do you know if insulin resistance is going away?
1. Your hunger is going down
2. You’re losing belly fat
3. Your blood pressure is going down
4. Your blood sugars are good
5. No dawn phenomenon
6. You have more energy
7. You’re satisfied when you eat

Got hit with type 2 in March. Got put on metformin but I was experiencing neuropathy. By sheer dumb luck I stumbled across Dr Bergs video on metformin and increasing the B vitamins. Neuropathy went away. Studied his videos on keto and now I'm down 65 pounds, numbers are down across the board, and I have a stupid amount of energy and I'm never hungry. Dr Berg is the truth.

You know, today I had my cleaning at the dentists and my hygienist said, "Your home care is very good." And I told her I'm on a low carb diet with no sugar (I bought a water pick as well). But really, that was a huge affirmation that the diet and the care is the best not only for losing fat but holistically for better health.

As someone who has researched this area and PCOS extensively, I can say this is one of the most concise videos in this subject that delivers all essential details one needs to know.

You are saving my life. I've been watching you for just over 3 months, started Keto 2 months ago, unsteady on my feet but stuck to it until I got better at controlling myself, I am now 100% off insulin (36 units long), off 100% Januvia, off 100% Jardiance and am at 1000 Metformin (formerly 2000). All this in a good month of following your advice.

THANK YOU.

I was obese, depressed and overworked. I had given up on myself and my life. Since starting ketogenic diet I have lost 35 lbs and have 50 more to go. I reversed pre diabetes.
I’m also doing a lower level exercise daily. I also look forward to getting home to do self care. Diet and exercise.
Thanks!!!

Dr Berg has so much class ! He’s always dressed up nicely and the way he speaks and explains is amazing ! Not fast -not slow and smooth pleasure voice - like a real good professor ! The white board makes thinks easier to understand! Sometimes I take a picture of it and review it later on! Thank you dr Berg!!!

[salvatoredipietro]

You described my life perfectly - no weight loss despite huge exercise commitments, no weight loss despite all the 'diets' I tried, and despite all this, I am eternally hungry. You have converted me - cant thank you enough.

I posted this before but I will mention again. I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes with an A1C of 11.1. I am a male in my mid 60’s. After seeing first hand what medications did to special people in my life I refused the medication. My next A1C test was 8.1. I still refused the diabetes medication. My next A1C test result was 6.1. My next blood test is in a few months. By the way, body fat is no issue, and high blood pressure is no issue. Last week I took a half day hike for over 10 miles with no problem and with much satisfaction. Thanks for your research.

I started the Keto Lifestyle in June of 2017 and have fixed all of these problems and lost 60lbs. Thanks Dr. Berg for these videos that help me stick with it!

[cyndianne]

I am so freaking thrilled to realize that I am healing my IR! I have ALL 7 of your ways to tell...Im a 58 year old woman and began your Healthy Keto 4 months ago. I have lost 32ish pounds and am at a weight I havent seen since my late 30s.

My phone is dead from watching Dr. Berg all day. 😆

Brilliant. I was a night shift worker and developing all the signs of diabetes. I was getting sugar shakes so bad that I had to eat just before exercise, and sometimes have a snack during just to keep my energy levels up. I heard about intermittent fasting and decided to implement one rule: I would not eat between going to bed at 2pm, and getting home at 9am the next day. All my eating was done in a small window, and I never ate at night when I was working. After a short period of suffering, my energy levels quickly elevated, and now I dont need to shovel food down my gullet just to function. Great advice

[ansar]

Can’t thank you enough Dr Berg…you are the biggest wake up call in my life. Started cutting carbs and shifting towards keto 8 weeks ago when I was 120kg and all the time I am out of breath, cloths does not fit me anymore, tired all the time, knee problem, can’t run more than 60 sec yes one min only with hear rate reach 165 so quickly..now I am 110kg with one meal a day of healthy keto such avocado, egg, sea bass, salamon, wheatgrass powder, Cheddar cheese, sesame. Now I can run slowly but for more than 60 min nonstop. I have decided to keep doing keto as a lifestyle because I feel very healthy, light, energetic, sleeping very well, and my asthma condition has improved significantly.

ever since 2017 after watching Dr Berg videos, my health has dramatically improved.

best channel ever.

This info changed my life, Dr Berg is a gift !!

[a.f.s.]

My BP dropped from a consistent 145/90 to 110/70 within weeks of cutting sugar out of my diet and reducing carbs. My fasting glucose also came down from the mid to high 90’s to the low 80’s. Not a single doctor ever told me that sugar and carbs were responsible for my BP....I found out by accident. That is down right WRONG that people are not being given the right information.

[alinajoy]

Very helpful, I try to stick to a low sugar diet. I have been for 3 years now, even had a baby a year ago and bounced back instantaneously. 5’5 inches and I’m 120lbs.
Before doing this, I was 180 lbs and working out all the time…nothing worked till this.
I also used to fall asleep throughout my day, not anymore!

[buddyringo]

I’m down 26 lbs from 209 to 183 in 100 days thanks to Dr Berg’s health advice, and I’m 55 y.o. 😁
Thanks Dr Berg!
