Insulin resistance — which can result from constantly eating highly processed foods that spike our insulin — is a common thread of many chronic diseases that we need to talk about.

🚨 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

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..

"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

The biggest drivers aren’t genetics. They’re your habits: • Sitting all day • Chronic stress • Insulin resistance • Alcohol and smoking • Magnesium deficiency • Processed, high-carb foods Fix those, and your blood pressure follows.

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?

"The Cause Of High Blood Pressure Is Not Salt...It's Sugar." "Insulin Resistance Is Driving The 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're lowering your blood pressure virtually overnight." 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. 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 higher levels of minerals than other unrefined salt.
