Coming up on today's show.

For insulin to work, it's got to have some essential co-factors, things like chromium,

carnitine, vitamin B3 and vitamin B1. We can have insulin resistance because the insulin

receptor is blocked by something. This is often a toxin. There was a fire in Italy at Sphazzo in the

1970s. The factory caught fire and there was a huge release of dioxins.

And as a result of that, type 2 diabetes just took off.

That was the first clue that chemicals cause insulin resistance.

We are all poisoned without exception.

So the point is, we all need to do the detox regimes.

As soon as you get into

ketosis, everything just starts to fall into place. And that food pyramid is completely upside down.

We should be baseloading with fat and meat and eggs and fish and just occasional fruit,

the occasional sugar is a treat because both so dysregulate our metabolism for a

multiplicity of reasons. Now, when I started work as a GP in the 1980s, it was relatively easy

to get people well with the simple elimination diets and a few supplements. Nowadays, it's much

more difficult because most people are carbohydrate addicts. We're all poisoned.

Underactive thyroid and poor adrenal functions and poor mitochondrial functions are very common.

We just all have to do it all.

Sarah, we're currently in an epidemic right now of metabolic dysfunction, insulin resistance.

A huge number of people.

I think the latest I've seen is over 90% are metabolically deranged. How does somebody, other than the fact that this is encompassing

most people, how does somebody know if they're part of that group? If you are eating a diet
