Episode #343 Dr, Ben Bikman on Insulin Resistance, Mitochondria and Fat Loss - a podcast by Debbie Potts

Dr. Ben Bikman is on the Low Carb Athlete podcast to share his research and insights on insulin resistance, low carb, fasting, mitochondria function and more thoughts! 

Benjamin Bikman earned his Ph.D. in Bioenergetics and was a postdoctoral fellow with the Duke-National University of Singapore in metabolic disorders.  Currently, his professional focus as a scientist and associate professor (Brigham Young University) is to better understand the role of elevated insulin in regulating obesity and diabetes, including the relevance of ketones in mitochondrial function.

Lets get a better understanding of...

• The pathogenic side of insulin
• What is insulin resistance?
• How can we detect it?

We dive into insulin, insulin resistance (relevant to every chronic disease), his upcoming book “why we get sick”, ketones, mitochondria, fasting, mTOR, and more!
