In this podcast, Dr. Berg talks about how high blood sugar makes your brain smaller. High blood sugar increases insulin, and when you have a chronic elevation of insulin over a period of time, you develop insulin resistance that creates grey matter in the brain and hippocampus. Hippocampus has the highest concentration of insulin receptors in the brain. When you have insulin resistance, the body makes 7x more insulin.

How to Regenerate Brain

1. Calorie Restriction

2. Intermittent Fasting - It can increase insulin sensitivity and the connection between the synapses in the brain.

1:06.8	the structure called the hippocampus.
1:09.4	Hippocampus, by the way, has the highest concentration of insulin receptors in the brain.
1:15.0	Now when you have insulin resistance your body makes more insulin by a factor of 7X.
1:21.7	Incredible. And then the hippocampus is involved with memory and learning.
1:28.8	It's like a relay switch to your database, your memory.
1:31.7	So you may find that it's hard to recall things.

1:50.0	So if we don't have energy, you're going to be mentally dull and you might have a lot of brain fog.

2:00.0	That's good, right?
