Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminute Fasting Podcast, where Dr.

Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight.

Hey guys, in this video we're going to talk about something called insulin resistance

of your brain, okay?

Now insulin resistance is a condition where you have the pancreas or other parts of

the body producing too much insulin because it's not connecting into the cells.

So we have a situation where we have insulin there but it's not available.

So it creates all sorts of problems.

Another name for insulin resistance of the brain would be called peripheral insulin

resistance.

Now in the brain insulin controls your food intake, your metabolism, your set point,

and it's also intimately involved with cognitive function and memory, okay?

When there's too much insulin or sugar in the brain, you're going to have destruction

of various parts of the brain.

You're going to have neuro degeneration which is breakdown, inflammation of the hypothalamus,

destruction of the hippocampus which is the destruction of the brain that acts as a relay

switch into your database, your file cabinet memory.

So you're going to get dementia and poor memory, okay?

There's even a new treatment called nasal insulin spray which fights forgetfulness, okay?

So they're basically bypassing insulin resistance, spraying it right through the nasal passages

right up into the brain, it crosses the blood-brain barrier, it goes right in, as a way

of bypassing insulin resistance.
