Welcome to the Fat Emperor podcast. I'm your host, Ivor Cummins. We're supported by the Irish

Heart Disease Awareness charity, which advocates a simple CT scan to reveal your CAC score. So,

know your score and take action to prevent that premature heart attack. Everything you need to know

But I have a few interesting papers today to go a little deeper and look at what some of the

primary factors might be.

So I'm going to start off with this list of modern chronic diseases that you see here.

But an interesting thing is that many of them are connected together,

or at least the risk is associated with the iceberg that lies under the surface in the modern population.

And this is hyperinsulinemia, insulin resistance.

So there are many causes for modern chronic disease, but insulin

resistance and hyperinsulinemic state are a very big part of the problem, not the whole problem.

and hyperinsulinemia. And on the very left you see there,

we've got very insulin resistant people indeed,

and they do not have to be overweight.

They can be thin outside, fat inside,
