And why are we insulin resistant? Because our mitochondria is screwed.

Mitochondria are fat. So the lower the fat that you're eating, the less well your mitochondria

would work actually cause the insulin resistance. This concept of calories is useless.

It's essentially garbage. Calories come from bomb calarimeters,

or mitochondria are not bomb calibrometers. So there's leptin deficiency, there's leptin resistance.

Ultimately, the brain sees the same thing, not enough leptin. But leptin deficiencies a total of 14

people in the world. Leptin resistance is about 4 billion people. 14 people, 4 billion people.

Which you think you have. You got to fix the leptin resistance. So what causes the leptin resistance?

Rob, why is excess insulin a problem and how much is too much? Why is excess insulin a problem and how much is too much?

Why is excess insulin a problem?

So let's talk about what insulin is.

Insulin is a hormone.

It's made in one place, works in another.

It's made by the beta cells of the pancreas,
