Coming up on today's show.

If I had to put one demon out there for the chronic diseases that have filled my internal

medicine clinic for 20 years, insulin wins.

You can say, Doc, I want to check a fasting insulin.

And we have lots of people do that.

But the fasting insulin is still often normal for up to 10 years into this process.

Okay, let's do 72 hours of a sardine challenge and see what happens. It is another reset for how low the insulin goes over these three days. And we're looking at three sunsets there. We really want you to sleep through three nights of it. What we're looking for is the distance in time for that robust stimulus of production of insulin. And I will tell you, insulin-resistant

patients have a ton of success there. Fat hormones, vitamin D, testosterone, estrogen in your body

that's trying to get to its target organ. One of those target organs is your brain. And when it can't get

there, it can't do the job. Why would it not get there? Because the dictator of fat, which is insulin,

and all of these hormones are ruled by insulin. All of those things are muted when the insulin is

high. As soon as that starts to drop and ketones begin to flow. The other thing that's flowing

is the fat-based hormones. Dr. Boss, insulin is a word that's often demonized in our world. So let's start off talking about

what that is and when it becomes problematic.

Great question. Insulin is vital for you to survive. Thank God it was invented in a way that I can

inject it in patients that don't make it.

But the opposite end of that spectrum of none is the persistent and excess amounts of this

little hormone that when in excess causes you to grow. Now, the easy growth is your fat cells.

It will help you store that energy for future,

but the other components of your body that grow almost without permission when when insulin is

high include things like cancers and joint disease and autoimmune disorders and brain fog

and the grime, the trash in our body
