Dr. Benjamin Bikman drops a bombshell on high blood pressure, infertility, and erectile dysfunction that flips conventional medicine on its head: “High blood pressure is almost a guarantee of insulin resistance — the overwhelmingly most common cause.” He goes further: - Erectile dysfunction in men is often the earliest... visible sign of insulin resistance — blood vessels can no longer dilate properly, making erections impossible. -PCOS (the leading cause of infertility in women) is at its core a metabolic disorder driven by insulin resistance — even in lean women who “look healthy” and don’t meet standard insulin resistance criteria. - Scratch beneath the surface, and insulin resistance is already present at the fat cell level — the true origin point. Science nugget: Insulin resistance begins in adipose (fat) tissue long before it shows up in blood tests. Chronically elevated insulin impairs nitric oxide production (needed for vasodilation), drives ovarian androgen excess in PCOS, and promotes vascular stiffness leading to hypertension and ED. Bottom line: Many “unexplained” conditions aren’t mysterious — they’re downstream effects of insulin resistance hiding in plain sight. What “healthy-looking” symptom or diagnosis in your life (or someone close) might actually be insulin resistance in disguise?show more

"A Low Salt Diet Causes Insulin Resistance & High Blood Pressure." Dr Ben Bikman, PhD "A Physician Should Never Tell A Patient To 'Cut Back On Salt'...This Causes Higher Insulin & Higher Blood Pressure." Salt Is The 2nd Major Constituent In The Body & We Need Salt At All Times. When salt intake is restricted, the body activates hormonal systems to retain sodium & cause insulin resistance: 🛞 Activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS): Restricting sodium causes the body to release hormones like renin, aldosterone & angiotensin II to help retain sodium. This increases insulin resistance. 🛞 Increased stress hormones: Low sodium intake increases the body's levels of stress hormones, such as noradrenaline. Elevated levels of these hormones cause insulin resistance. 🛞 Reduced blood flow to muscles: A drop in blood volume due to sodium restriction reduces blood flow to skeletal muscles. This impairs the delivery of insulin & glucose to muscle tissue, worsening insulin resistance. 🛞 Increased insulin levels: The body responds to salt restriction by increasing fasting insulin levels as a compensatory measure to retain sodium. This is a risk factor for developing type 2 diabetes. 5 Ways Insulin Resistance Causes High Blood Pressure: 🛞 Sodium & water retention: When insulin resistance occurs, the pancreas produces excess insulin to manage blood sugar. The high levels of insulin overstimulate the kidneys to reabsorb more sodium & water, which increases blood volume & raises blood pressure. 🛞 Vascular dysfunction: Healthy insulin signaling promotes the production of nitric oxide (NO), a molecule that relaxes blood vessels & improves blood flow. In an insulin-resistant state, this process is halted & blood pressure rises to dangerous levels. 🛞 Increased sympathetic nervous system activity: High insulin levels overstimulate the sympathetic nervous system, which controls the body's "fight or flight" response. This increases heart rate, constricts blood vessels & activates the RAAS system, which further promotes sodium & water retention. 🛞 Chronic inflammation & oxidative stress: Insulin resistance causes low-grade chronic inflammation & oxidative stress throughout the body. These processes damage the lining of blood vessels (the endothelium). 🛞 Vascular stiffening: Over time, the chronic inflammation & other issues leads to arterial remodeling & stiffening. This makes arteries less flexible & more resistant to blood flow, forcing the heart to pump harder & elevating blood pressure. Salt is not created equal....table salt is highly processed & toxic. The chemical processing of table salt strips it of all minerals, leaving only isolated sodium chloride. Table salt is bleached & then ingredients like sodium ferrocyanide, ammonium citrate, aluminium silicate, sugar(dextrose) & anticaking agents are added. Healthy salt is unrefined mineral salt...unprocessed celtic or grey salt that retains all of the 80+ trace minerals. Seek out ones that are microplastic, heavy metals & contaminant free. 👇Sodium Restriction Causes Insulin Resistance👇 👇Low Salt Diet Increases Insulin Resistance👇 👇Insulin Resistance Causes Hypertension👇 Speaker: Dr Benjamin Bikman, PhD

Salt Is Essential...Don't Let Doctors Tell You It's The Devil. Dr Annette Bosworth, MD If You Were Led To Believe That Your Health Problems Were Caused By Salt...You Were Lied To. The Problems They Told You Were Caused By Salt Were Actually Caused By Sugar. Low Salt Diets Make Insulin More Resistant & Cause High Blood Pressure. Insulin Prevents You From Being Able To Excrete Sodium. The Higher Your Insulin, The More Sodium You Hold Onto In The Kidneys, Which Raises Your Blood Pressure. By fixing the sugar, you're fixing the insulin resistance, you're fixing the uric acid & you'll lower your blood pressure very quickly. 4 Ways Insulin Resistance Causes High Blood Pressure: 1: Insulin tells your kidneys to hold onto salt & salt holds water. So if your insulin levels are high, the kidneys will hold salt & the salt holds water. Blood volume goes up & blood pressure increases. 2: Insulin stimulates your sympathetic nervous system which causes your blood vessels to constrict. When the vessels get smaller, the pressure becomes greater & blood pressure goes up. 3: Insulin causes growth on the insides of blood vessels, narrowing them further, putting pressure on the vessel walls causing blood pressure to rise. 4: Insulin inhibits Nitrous Oxide, which is crucial for the relaxation of healthy blood vessels. Insulin cuts off Nitrous Oxide from dilating your blood vessels, which narrows space & increases blood pressure. Salt causing high blood pressure is a lie. Eating salt does not cause high blood pressure. Eating sugar, processed carbohydrates, seed oils, inflammation & having high glucose levels creating insulin resistance is what causes high blood pressure. The type of salt matters greatly. Regular table salt is unhealthy, it has been chemically bleached & stripped of all minerals. Many brands of table salt also include aluminum & dextrose as anti-caking agents. Salt Is Life. Unrefined Mineral Salt is Life Affirming Salt. Baja Gold has the highest level of minerals than other unrefined salt.

How to ACTUALLY reverse Insulin Resistance That frustrating diagnosis of insulin resistance means the old rulebook for your body is obsolete. What once worked to manage your weight no longer applies. The good news? The new playbook for metabolic recovery doesn’t demand superhuman willpower. As Dr. Annette Bosworth (Dr. Boz) clarifies, reversing insulin resistance hinges on three fundamental shifts. First, track insulin, not calories. The primary lever is your insulin response, not energy units. Carbohydrates trigger the most significant insulin spike, protein a moderate one, and fat the most negligible. In a low-insulin state, dietary fat becomes a powerful metabolic fuel. The directive: embrace fat and restrict carbs to under 20 grams daily. Second, don't eat after dark. The timing of your fat-based meals is critical. Consuming food after sunset carries a heavier metabolic penalty for those with insulin resistance. The golden rule: lengthen the interval between your last bite and bedtime to optimize next-day insulin sensitivity. Third, "measure it if you want to change it." Since you can't easily test insulin directly, Dr. Boz recommends tracking its two most controlled molecules: glucose and ketones. Her innovative "Dr. Boz Ratio" (Glucose ÷ Ketones) serves as a powerful proxy. A lower ratio signals lower insulin, and the ideal time for this measurement is first thing upon waking. The path to reversing insulin resistance is not about deprivation, but about strategic, informed choices.

We have been blaming salt for something it has not done. 90% cases of Hypertension or high blood pressure have insulin resistance in common which is a result of inactive lifestyle and HIGH CARB diet.. Leading an active lifestyle, eating a balanced diet..

"Skin Tags...Don't Waste Your Money Cutting Them Off. They're Just Going To Grow Back In A Few Months." "Why? Because Skin Tags Are A Symptom Of Something Much Deeper...Chronically Elevated Insulin." "Lower Your Insulin To Eliminate Skin Tags Forever." Dr Annette Bosworth, MD Skin tags are dermatological tumor lesions commonly found in the general population of those suffering from diabetes, obesity & insulin resistance. Worldwide, 1 in 8 people are living with obesity. More than 1 billion people in the world & 200 million children are now living with obesity. Globally, over 800 million adults are living with diabetes & is projected to rise to 1.3 billion by 2050. Skin Tags have medical significance & serve as a warning sign that the sufferer is not metabolically healthy. In fact, research shows that as few as three skin tags are linked to an increased risk of diabetes. Research also shows that those with skin tags have high blood sugar, high triglycerides & insulin resistance which are risk factors for both diabetes & heart disease. Insulin resistance can present in a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations for the skin including skin tags, acanthosis nigricans (dark skin patches), hirsutism (excessive dark facial hair growth in females) & androgenetic alopecia. Skin Tags, also known as fibroepithelial polyps, are among the most common skin tumors. Insulin is a well-recognized growth-promoting hormone & hyperinsulinemia has been directly linked with IFG-1 & decreased insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 3 (IGFBP-3). IGF-1 binds to receptors in keratinocyte skin, triggering epidermal hyperplasia. These endocrine disturbances alter cellular proliferation, eventually becoming clinically evident as skin tags. Adopting a very low carbohydrate ketogenic diet of less than 20 grams of carbs per day will heal & eliminate chronically high insulin, thereby eradicating insulin resistance. In about 90 days the skin tags will drop off...never to return again as long as the low carbohydrate lifestyle is continued & insulin stays low. 👇Skin Tags & Insulin Resistance👇 👇Skin Manifestations Of Insulin Resistance👇 👇Skin Tags: Insulin Resistance Early Warning👇 Speaker: Annette Bosworth, MD AKA Dr Boz

Dr. Benjamin Bikman drops a brutal wake-up call on fasting and fat loss: “If you can’t fast for 12 hours as an adult, that’s a terrible sign — it usually means insulin resistance and chronically elevated insulin.” Why it matters: High insulin locks your body in sugar-burning mode. You run out of glucose fast during fasting → you crash, feel awful, and can’t access stored fat. The fix? Lower insulin by weaning off starch and sugar → train your body to burn fat for fuel (which is literally what fat is stored for). “That can only happen when insulin is down.” No 12-hour fast? That’s a red flag. Start small, cut the carbs, and rebuild metabolic flexibility. How long can you currently fast comfortably — and are you ready to push past that 12-hour mark?

Think your blood glucose tells the whole story? Think again. Dr. Ben Bikman (Benjamin Bikman) joins me to discuss insulin resistance, including why it often remains hidden until late stages and simple ways to detect it early. We explore insulin’s lesser-known roles in fat storage, appetite regulation, inflammation, and chronic disease. You’ll also learn how macronutrients, meal timing, and frequency uniquely influence your insulin sensitivity, and the critical differences between visceral and subcutaneous fat. Finally, we dive into how stress, sleep deprivation, nicotine, and environmental toxins shape your metabolism and unpack the realities of popular GLP-1 receptor agonist medications (like Ozempic), including their benefits, risks, and the intriguing potential of microdosing. We also provide practical, actionable strategies, dietary adjustments, exercise protocols, and targeted supplements that you can implement today to significantly boost insulin sensitivity and support long-term metabolic health. If you want to understand insulin resistance and take immediate steps to improve your metabolic health - this conversation is a must-watch.

Every Woman who is Infertile and Considering IVF Should Watch This —— Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is 100% Reversible • Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the leading cause of female infertility. • PCOS happens when ovaries are stimulated with excess insulin, which is the hormone in the blood that helps take blood sugar out of the blood and into the cells. —— insulin levels go up in response to metabolic disfunction… destroying cells due to toxic food and lifestyle. —— the cells rejects the sugar and it stays in the bloodstream. The body compensates by making more insulin by trying to drive the sugar into the cell. —— that high insulin causes chaos all over the body, promotes cancer growth, stimulates the ovaries to make more testosterone, which disturbs sex hormones and creates cysts that won’t allow women to ovulate. 🔴 PCOS is Metabolic Condition and TOTALLY Irreversible • Doctors have nearly ZERO education in nutrition… they fundamentally do not know what PCOS is, only what the Medical intervention is. —— The treatment OBGYN’s are giving patients is a Diabetes drug! —— PCOS is a gold mine so natural remedies are not • In as little as 12 weeks, a Full KETO DIET, you can naturally heal your PCOS. • Go Natural! IVF comes with great risks — if the women doesn’t heal the root causes of PCOS, the mom and fetus’s chances of future disease. Clip Full Interview

Most people never burn stored fat—not because they don't exercise enough, but because insulin never gets a real chance to drop. Dr. Benjamin Bikman explains why in this 2-minute clip: - The fastest way to improve insulin sensitivity? Lower insulin. - The fastest way to lower insulin? Stop eating (fasting). - When you eat dinner + late snack → insulin stays high for hours into the night. - Then a typical breakfast (bagel, cereal, toast, OJ) spikes it again before it ever reaches baseline. - Mid-morning snack, lunch, afternoon snack… insulin basically never comes down all day. - Result: constant fat-storage mode, worsening insulin resistance, zero fat-burning windows. Prolong the low-insulin period (skip breakfast, skip late snacks, or both) and you give your body hours of real fat-burning time—naturally. Simple shift. Massive metabolic difference. Have you noticed a difference when you give yourself a longer overnight fast (e.g., finish eating by 7 pm, eat again at noon)? What changed for your energy, hunger, or body comp?

Dr. Pradip Jamnadas breaks it down simply for beginners: Glucose (sugar) in the bloodstream is toxic—it glycates everything (vessels, enzymes, hormones), aging you prematurely. Body's fix? Pancreas pumps insulin to shove glucose into cells (liver, muscle, everywhere). Eat carbs/starch every 2–3 hours? Insulin spikes repeatedly, never fully drops—leading to chronic high insulin (hyperinsulinemia). Result over years: - Insulin resistance (body needs more insulin for same effect) - Fatty liver & dangerous visceral belly fat (glucose → new fat around organs) - Silent metabolic destruction long before diabetes shows up (A1C normal, but damage underway) By diagnosis of diabetes? Often 10+ years of hidden high insulin + early coronary disease. This 6:05 clip is the clearest "insulin-glucose 101" I've seen—why constant grazing wrecks metabolism. Do you eat every few hours (snacks/meals)? Noticed belly fat creep despite "normal" weight? Tried reducing frequency (e.g., 2–3 meals/day) to lower insulin—any energy/weight shifts? What's one carb habit you're rethinking after this? Real experiences only—let's unpack how this shows up in life.

Hyperinsulinemia: The Silent Artery Killer Hiding in “Normal” Blood Tests Dr. Pradip Jamnadas shares a chilling pattern from decades in the cath lab: A 28-year-old man had a massive heart attack. Not diabetic on paper. Hemoglobin A1c “normal.” But visceral belly fat, fatty liver, and hyperinsulinemia (sky-high insulin levels) with pre-diabetic glucose spikes after a tolerance test. Key insight: “None of my heart attack patients were outright diabetics… but when I started testing insulin levels, insulin was off the charts—even when sugars weren’t ‘diabetic high.’” Insulin is highly atherogenic: - Drives smooth muscle proliferation in artery walls - Causes vasoconstriction - Makes blood more clotty - Fuels inflammation The real culprit wasn’t just high blood sugar—it was hyperinsulinemia quietly destroying arteries for years before the first symptom. Clip from this 2:23 eye-opener — the hidden metabolic driver most doctors still overlook. How many “healthy on paper” young people are walking around with dangerously high insulin right now? Have you ever had fasting insulin or a proper glucose tolerance test checked? Your thoughts — drop them below.

🚨 Dr. Paul Marik sounds the alarm on rising cancer rates. “The risk of getting cancer is increasing exponentially.” “Currently 1 in 2 people… will develop cancer during a lifetime.” “That’s like half the population.” “That is a staggering statistic, and is far going to exceed the risk of cardiac disease.” “What we know is that to some degree, it’s preventable.” “You can’t change your genes, but you can change your lifestyle.” “And there are enormous lifestyle factors and environmental factors that increase the risk.” “Most Americans are addicted to processed foods, are sugar addicts, and have insulin resistance.” “Apart from insulin resistance underlying many diseases, one of which is cancer, there’s no question that people who are insulin resistant have an increased risk of cancer.” “But it’s also important in other diseases such as heart disease.” “There’s this myth that it’s cholesterol.” “It’s not cholesterol, it’s insulin resistance.” “And then there’s diabetes, pre-diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and Alzheimer’s disease.” “We know one of the first steps in reducing one’s risk of getting cancer is to deal with insulin resistance.” “And it’s not difficult.” “What you need to do is change from eating processed food to real food.” drpaulmarik CHDTV Live MERYL NASS, MD

Dr. Benjamin Bikman's lab just proved that vaping is worse than smoking for your health. Bikman and lung expert Paul Reynolds published multiple papers comparing cigarette smoke to the hyper-heated molecules from vaping. They measured two things: 1) Insulin resistance 2) Inflammatory damage to the airway The results: "Chemical for chemical, vaping caused more damage to the airway and greater insulin resistance than traditional cigarettes." Insulin resistance is the symptoms for almost all chronic diseases killing us, including heart disease, type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer's, even erectile dysfunction and infertility. An entire generation switched to vaping believing it was the safer option. Bikman's data suggests it may be the opposite. As Steven Bartlett responded: "That's horrifying." Bikman's reply: "It is. In part because of just how common it's become." — Dr. Benjamin Bikman (Benjamin Bikman) on Steven Bartlett's (@SteveBartlettSC) Diary of a CEO podcast PS. This account exists to share unconventional health insights every human needs to hear. If this post interests you, follow me for more - you won't want to miss what we've got scheduled out next.

High blood pressure truth (the real cause & solution) Here’s the entire playbook ⬇️ 1970…160/95 1985…140/90 2017…120/80 Now…2026…110/70 And anything higher is dysfunction? That’s catastrophic I’ll prove it 2018 Lancet 1 million adults found NO increased mortality at 150/100 Zero But at 110/70…let’s look 2020 American Journal of Hypertension showed increased in all cause mortality Here’s what really increases blood pressure systemic inflammation insulin resistance and mitochondrial dysfunction let’s rock and roll… And ANYONE can solve it all I’ll show you It’s all in the research packet And it’s FREE! If biology has normal endothelial function, mitochondrial function and insulin sensitivity… meaning they’ve been measured then elevated blood pressure… isn’t pathological it’s compensatory But how many doctors are measuring mitochondrial ATP capacity endothelial function testing vascular reactivity using flow mediated dilation tests or running a continuous glucose monitor? None…they’re treating numbers Your move Never Miss Dr Trevor Bachmeyer The Spartan

I'm 8 minutes into a 'documentary' on Netlfix called "What the Health" where the documentary film maker is interviewing a doctor who says the following: Kip the documentary filmmaker: "What role does sugar play in causing diabetes? Dr. Neal Barnard, M.D.: "Driving me crazy. Diabetes is not and never was caused by eating a high carbohydrate diet, and it's not caused by eating sugar. The causes of diabetes is a diet that builds up the amount of **fat** into the blood. I'm talking about a typical meat-based, animal-based diet." Dr. Barnard then goes on to claim its a high ANIMAL FAT diet that causes insulin resistance. The animal fat blocks the intake of sugar or glucose into the blood vessels. Or something. Watch. He actually says this. And he's not the only one. Several MD's appear here claiming metabolic syndrome, diabetes and insulin resistance is caused by animal fat in the human diet. Sugar? Not a real problem. High carb diet? That's fine. You get fat and unhealthy from an animal-based diet. What do you think about what they said? Respond in the comments.

"When You Look At A Bowl Of Pasta, Just Look At It Like A Snickers Bar." Candi Frazier, BCHN It's not just cane sugar in the Snickers bar that's now in your blood... It's the basmati rice, the white potatoes, the french fries, the boiled spaghetti noodles...those are all sugar. It's the same sugar in your blood. When you eat this much sugar everyday at every meal, you throw your body's balance off & flood your body with insulin. Insulin is the master fat storing hormone. It preserves your fat. When insulin spikes & stays high, serious damage results, setting up a lifetime of illness & a life shortened prematurely. Heart and blood vessels: High blood sugar damages blood vessels & increases the risk of heart attack & stroke. Kidneys: High blood sugar can reduce the kidneys' ability to filter waste, which can lead to chronic kidney disease. Brain: High blood sugar damages blood vessels in the brain, which can lead to memory loss or stroke. Eyes: High blood sugar can lead to eye changes that can cause diabetic retinopathy, cataracts & glaucoma. Stomach: High blood sugar can damage nerves in the stomach, which can slow or stop digestion. Mouth: High blood sugar increases harmful bacteria, which can lead to cavities and gum disease. Skin: High insulin levels cause darkened skin in the armpit, back & sides of the neck, a condition called acanthosis nigricans. Pancreas: High blood sugar can lead to pancreatic cancer. Feet: Poor blood flow & nerve damage can lead to foot ulcers, infections & amputation. Nerves: Damaged nerves can cause pain, burning, tingling, numbness & loss of feeling. 👇Carbohydrate Sugar Insulin Model👇 Video: Primal Bod
