69. What’s to blame for Insulin Resistance, Carbs or PUFAs? A very friendly debate with Ben Bikman, PhD

Benjamin Bikman earned his PhD in Bioenergetics and was a postdoctoral fellow with the Duke-National University of Singapore studying metabolic disorders. Currently, his professional focus as a scientist and professor (Brigham Young University) is to better understand the origins and consequences of metabolic disorders, including obesity and diabetes, with a particular emphasis on the role of insulin. He frequently publishes his research in peer-reviewed journals and presents at international science and public meetings.   Time Stamps   0:11:14 Podcast Begins 0:11:54 Ben's Background 0:17:53 The root of chronic disease 0:25:38 All about insulin 0:31:14 Regulation of free fatty acid metabolism by insulin in humans: role of lipolysis and reesterification https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/Regulation-of-free-fatty-acid-metabolism-by-insulin-Campbell-Carlson/9be324b8af9ced5a8b7e1902257e3fb9308b4db1 0:31:51 Insulin stops lipolisis 0:34:35 Insulin's affect on the liver 0:40:10 Insulin and muscle cells 0:43:20 Why you want to increase protein as you age 0:48:47 Low Protein Intake is Associated with a Major Reduction in IGF-1, Cancer, and Overall Mortality in the 65 and Younger but Not Older Population https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3988204/#:~:text=Low%20Protein%20Intake%20is%20Associated,Younger%20but%20Not%20Older%20Population&text=Cell%20Metab.,Author%20manuscript. 0:51:00 Animal-based diets optimize muscle protein sythesis 0:55:12 Industrial Seed oils have a fantastic publicist 0:58:05 Do carbs drive metabolic dysfunction? 1:07:07 Effect of sustained physiologic hyperinsulinaemia and hyperglycaemia on insulin secretion and insulin sensitivity in man https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/BF00400466 1:07:42 How linoleic acid drives metabolic dysfunction 1:09:32 How linoleic acid drives metabolic dysfunction.  1:11:47 Low serum insulin in traditiona

Throughout my training and practice as a physician I have come to one very disappointing conclusion: Western medicine isn’t helping people lead better lives. Now that I’ve realized this, I’ve become obsessed with understanding what makes us healthy or ill. I want to live the best life I can and I want to be able to share this knowledge with others so that they can do the same. This podcast is the result of my relentless search to understand the roots of chronic disease. I hope you’ll join me on this journey.
