Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminute Fasting podcast, where Dr. Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weights.

Let's talk about the number one most important nutrient for diabetic symptoms.

Now, I could also name this presentation as the number one most important nutrient for losing weight or burning fat because they're both directly related.

Now, first, let me just touch on diabetic symptoms. Okay, we're talking about a situation where

you have high blood glucose, high blood sugar. And when you have high sugar, you're also

going to have insulin resistance. You're going to have either high or low insulin.

Usually it starts out high and then it goes low. And of course, another name for high blood sugar is

diabetes. Hormones are communication. Okay. Insulin is a communication that travels with the body.

And it follows the principles of communication between humans too.

So you need a balance of talking and listening.

I remember a while ago, my wife and I went to a restaurant and then we're walking out of

the restaurant.

And I remember as we're walking out, someone started talking to us.

Next thing you know, we're with them at their table for about an

hour. And both of us could not get a word in edgewise. I mean, they were just nonstop talking.

And the minute that we tried to interject some communication, there was no listening. It was

basically a one-way flow of constant communication

towards us. And after a while, we're kind of like phasing out and we're ready to go. And so when

there's just talking and no listening, we don't have communication. Same thing happens in the body.

When there's too much communication, like too much insulin, the cells are going to phase out.

They're no longer going to be receptive to that communication. And that's what insulin resistance is.

So we have a person on a high carb diet. They're stimulating a lot of insulin.
