Kara Collier | How Insulin Resistance Develops & The Best Ways to Reverse Insulin Resistance & Diabetes KKP: 501

Today I am grateful to have Kara Collier, a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN), Licensed Dietitian/Nutritionist (LDN), and Certified Nutrition Support Clinician (CNSC) with me for an informative podcast session. Collier specialises in glucose control and metabolism and has graduated from Purdue University. She is an incredibly talented health professional who has joined us on some of our first few podcasts. Currently, she is conducting research alongside some partners to investigate why so many Americans today are living unhealthy lives, suffering from poor metabolic health and the role lifestyle choices play in aggravating health problems. Approximately 90% of Americans today are not metabolically healthy based on the results of standardized metabolic testing systems such as the assessment of glucose levels and fasting blood sugar values. So, in this episode today we will be exploring the ‘why’ element behind these troubling statistics. Dr. Kara Collier will also be sharing some important and impactful practices that can be adopted in our everyday lives that can lay down the foundation for good metabolic functioning and a healthy life. Tune in as we touch up on some topics that require urgent addressing and get better insights into how your body works and the role you can play in improving its functioning.

[2:50] The problem with insulin resistance The physiology that can be used to explain insulin resistance is hyperinsulinemia which means having higher than normal insulin levels. But this factor does not contribute to the problem on its own. We also have an issue of decreased insulin sensitivity. A problem in which cells do not respond well to insulin signalling. Hyperinsulinemia and less sensitive cells both interact and contribute to insulin resistance. The old tale of the boy who cried wolf explains a lot about hyperinsulinemia because hyperinsulinemia is just like crying out loud more than you need to, to such an extent that people just start ignoring the message! Likewise, the constant overstimulation of insulin makes the cells less sensitive to insulin. These two changes are the key drivers behind this insulin resistance problem and can result in extreme forms of metabolic dysfunction such as diabetes. The human body is extremely complex which means that it is difficult to establish cause-and-effect relationships where one factor is directly responsible for bringing about a given set of changes. Likewise, with problems related to metabolic health, there are often multiple factors working collectively to bring about a certain change. Diseases stemming from metabolic issues are also an output of a build-up of decade-long problems for eg a patient only receives a diagnosis for type 2 diabetes, it is estimated that 60 to 70% of our beta cells which produce insulin are damaged beyond repair! Poorly regulated insulin levels could be a consequence of a poorly balanced diet featuring high carbohydrate intake, more than required sugar, and in general low nutrient density and high energy consumption. Eating around the clock and constantly keeping insulin-stimulated can be problematic as well. Similarly, chronic stress and poor sleep quality can disrupt the sensitivity of the cells to insulin as well. [9:57] Advice for people who have received some early signals of insulin-related issues Unhealthy habits and life practices can result in a metabolic breakdown, therefore it is important to come up with a healthier lifestyle. Reduce your Carbohydrates to limit insulin load. You can have about 45 to 60 grams of carbohydrates for each meal. Focus on having nutrient-rich diets!. Exercise is great, especially weight lifting! [14:25] Insulin response: Protein VS Carbohydrate Protein can trigger an insulin response in some individuals but it is not the same as the one triggered by carbohydrates. With carbohydrates it can become extremely challenging to normalise glucose levels [27:19} Is glucose never exceeding 90 a blessing or a problem in disguise? Keeping in mind the principles of metabolic flexibility, staying strictly below 90 can get problematic. It's not the end goal, having a balanced energy-efficient system is! [37:20] What is CGM? CGM stands for Continuous Glucose monitor. It is a small device that you put on your arm and leave it there for two full weeks to get a picture of your Glucose levels. CGM can help you keep a check on and understand your body better Get your Nutrisense Continuous Glucose Monitor Here www.nutrisense.io/ketokamp use the code BEN30 for $30 off Resources from this episode: Get your Nutrisense Continuous Glucose Monitor Here www.nutrisense.io/ketokamp use the code BEN30 for $30 off Follow Kara Collier LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kara-collier-rdn-cnsc-52801a99/ Twitter: https://mobile.twitter.com/kara_collier1 Nutrisense Instagram: www.instagram.com/nutrisenseio Join the Keto Kamp Academy http://www.ketokampacademy.com Watch Keto Kamp on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUh_MOM621MvpW_HLtfkLyQ 4 Secrets to Mastering Keto Masterclass.

#1173 The Exact Timing Trick That Makes Apple Cider Vinegar Melt Belly Fat, Balance Blood Sugar, and Crush Cravings With Ben Azadi

#1173 The Exact Timing Trick That Makes Apple Cider Vinegar Melt Belly Fat, Balance Blood Sugar, and Crush Cravings With Ben Azadi

In this episode, Ben breaks down the right way to use apple cider vinegar for fat loss, gut health, and stable energy. ACV only works when taken at the correct timing, and most people unknowingly do it wrong, which leads to cravings, blood sugar crashes, and zero progress. Ben explains why 10–20 minutes before your biggest meal is the sweet spot for lowering blood sugar spikes, improving insulin sensitivity, reducing cravings, and activating your fat-burning pathways. He also covers the benefits for acid reflux, GERD, bloating, and digestion — and why low stomach acid is the hidden reason many people struggle with gut issues. You’ll learn the ideal dosage, the difference between liquid ACV and supplements, why many gummies are useless, and a minute-by-minute breakdown of what ACV does inside your body. Ben also answers the most common listener questions about fasting, warm water, morning routines, and long-term use.

#1170 The 14-Day Visceral Fat Reset: The Science-Backed Protocol That Reverses Fatty Liver, Lowers Insulin, and Rebuilds Your Metabolism From the Inside Out… With Ben Azadi

#1170 The 14-Day Visceral Fat Reset: The Science-Backed Protocol That Reverses Fatty Liver, Lowers Insulin, and Rebuilds Your Metabolism From the Inside Out… With Ben Azadi

In this episode, Ben Azadi breaks down a powerful 14-day protocol designed to melt visceral fat without exercise. Even people who eat clean and work out can still store dangerous fat around their liver and organs due to high insulin, liver inflammation, and sluggish mitochondria. Ben explains how this step-by-step plan lowers insulin, unclogs the liver, boosts bile flow, and reactivates mitochondrial fat burning. Listeners will learn how to use a daily insulin reset window, protein-first eating, carb sequencing, the Liver Flush Cup, nitric oxide activation before meals, and a protein-forward day. Ben also covers how to use a mini 20-hour fast, a 10-hour eating window, fat-loss coffee made with olive oil, bitter liver-supporting foods, and nighttime cortisol-lowering rituals. The protocol finishes with a 24-hour fast followed by a strategic carb-refuel to restore leptin sensitivity and break plateaus. By day 14, you can expect better insulin control, reduced liver fat, improved metabolic flexibility, more energy, clearer thinking, and measurable decreases in visceral fat. Ben also answers listener questions about repeating the protocol, how to modify it for keto/carnivore, coffee alternatives, olive oil intake, and why alcohol slows results.
