Welcome back to the Flexible Diding Lifestyle Podcast, part two of the keto episode.

Let's get right back into part two when we were talking about insulin. Let's go into insulin.

This is a super interesting debate.

People are talking about insulin as this bad thing.

And insulin's actually freaking amazing.

And it's something that literally keeps us alive.

And we, the debate is around peaks and valleys of your insulin levels that if you

eat X food it's going to spike your insulin thus make you die in early death like literally

that's what it's being painted as and I totally get it most people have have their insulin levels, their blood glucose levels

through the, their insulin is having to work overdrive because they eat way too much. They

eat not a well-balanced macronutrient profile and thus their insulin is just having to

just clean up. It's kind of like, think of it this way, your insulin.

Actually, Miguel, I'll let you, before I go into analogies, explain exactly like the scientific definition of what insulin is, and then we'll dive deep into like why it's not

the, the, why it's being pictured as or put as something that it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's being pictured as or put as something that it's it's it's it's it's just misunderstood

cool so insulin is a hormone that is secreted by your pancreas by the pancreatic beta

cells and basically what insulin or one of the main things that insulin is responsible for is that

throughout your the cells in your body you have something

called blue transporters those are just kind of um those are like the doorways if you will that allow

that allow glucose to enter cells so having very high blood glucose levels actually isn't a very good

thing um and if blood glucose levels get chronically high and abnormally high...

So I want to premise.

Listen to what he said chronically high.
