Everybody needs to understand the
00:00:01
relationship between sugar, which is
00:00:04
glucose, and insulin. When you consume
00:00:07
sugar or glucose, the body has to get
00:00:11
rid of that glucose very quickly from
00:00:13
the bloodstream because glucose actually
00:00:14
is toxic inside the bloodstream. I'm
00:00:17
consuming glucose and carbs every 2
00:00:19
three hours. I'm stimulating my
00:00:21
pancreas. I'm stimulating my insulin. My
00:00:24
insulin goes up, it comes down. But
00:00:26
before he even gets a chance to come
00:00:28
down, it goes up again. So the repeated
00:00:31
consumption of and frequent consumption
00:00:33
of glucose is causing my insulin to stay
00:00:36
up high. You continue this lifestyle for
00:00:38
a few years.
00:00:40
Now the body because these are hormones
00:00:44
will say, well, you know, it's I'm going
00:00:46
to need to make more insulin now. You
00:00:48
become insulin resistant. Any hormone
00:00:51
that stays in your body for a long time,
00:00:53
the body becomes immune to it. So now
00:00:55
you produce a whole bunch of insulin in
00:00:58
order to bring that sugar level down. So
00:01:00
then you say, okay, well it doesn't
00:01:02
matter because the insul the insulin is
00:01:03
bringing the sugar level down. So what's
00:01:05
the harm done? Because your A1C is still
00:01:07
good. You're not a diabetic. No, but
00:01:09
it's that background high insulin that
00:01:12
is destroying your metabolism.
00:01:14
It's that high insulin level in the
00:01:16
background. So insulin pushes glucose
00:01:20
into the liver and you develop a fatty
00:01:22
liver.
00:01:24
It pushes the calories into production
00:01:26
of new fats around your viscera. The
00:01:29
viscera means in your belly, around your
00:01:32
pancreas, you get visceral fat. Now,
00:01:35
this fat is produced from glucose. It's
00:01:38
a different kind of fat. Look, if I gave
00:01:40
you a high calorie diet right now of all
00:01:42
sorts of foods, you put on weight
00:01:43
everywhere, okay?
00:01:46
But if I give you glucose, you put it on
00:01:49
mostly in your stomach and your stomach
00:01:51
will protrude and that's called visceral
00:01:53
fat. It's on the inside. You can't pinch
00:01:55
it around the organs. This is very
00:01:59
detrimental fat and that's the epidemic
00:02:02
that we have today.
