Rich Smith | Is Cholesterol Really the Culprit Behind Heart Disease? The Relationship Between Insulin, Glucagon & Leptin, & More! KKP: 718

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Richard Smith. Richard began his keto journey for weight loss hoping to cure severe anxiety, depression, chronic fatigue, and daily debilitating migraines. During the year, Richard managed to lose over 100lbs. After reversing his illnesses and transforming his physical and emotional well-being via a ketogenic lifestyle, Richard was dedicated to helping transform the health and lives of others by providing support and supplements. In this episode, Richard discusses his past health problems, including obesity, diabetes, fatigue, depression, and anxiety. He reveals how keto transformed his well-being and life. Then, Richard dives into why cholesterol isn’t the enemy and how you can determine if your cholesterol profile is actually damaged or not. Richard digs deep into insulin and leptin and how to optimize these hormones. Tune in as we chat about the problem with insulin resistance and a simple test to tell if you are insulin resistant.

[00:40] Richard Speaks About His Health Problems and How Keto Transformed His Life Richard was clinically obese, diabetic, chronically tired, depressed, anxious, and experienced debilitating migraines that would make him blind. The worst part of Richard’s health was his anxiety; he wouldn’t be able to leave his house, car, or office. Richard never felt good enough to be around other people. Eventually, Richard realized that bread made his belly swell. So, he gave it up. Within 30 days of ditching bread, Richard lost 28 pounds. Starting keto has completely changed Richard’s life; luckily, every factor of his life has improved. [26:20] Cholesterol Isn’t The Enemy; In Fact, Cholesterol is Essential For Health Cholesterol is essential for life. It's imperative for cell formation, cell communication, nutrient absorption, nutrient transportation, and hormone production. The brain and the myelin sheath are made of cholesterol. Lacking cholesterol would be detrimental to your health. There is a massive miscommunication when it comes to cholesterol. LDL is proactive; it heals the body and repairs it. The two main contributing factors to heart disease are grains and seed oils. Seed oils do not help lower cholesterol. Reducing carbohydrates and seed oils is the best way to have healthy LDL. [35:00] Is Your Cholesterol Profile Damaged? Richard Explains Where Your Markers Should Be There’s a simple way to see whether your cholesterol profile is damaged. Triglycerides are one of the most significant factors; aim for less than 0.5%. HDL should be greater than 1.5. The triglyceride to HDL ratio should be below one. You’re in good shape if your cholesterol profile is around these markers. Remember, cholesterol is essential for life; every cell in the body is made of cholesterol. [39:45] You Can’t Store Fat Without Insulin From Carbohydrates, Sugars, and Seed Oils We can’t store fat without insulin. Insulin is secreted by the pancreas when we consume carbohydrates. Many people will eat carbs before going to the gym to have the energy to burn fat. However, when insulin is elevated, it tells the body to store fat. Eating carbs will make it almost impossible for us to burn fat for fuel. Insulin puts a biological lock on our fat stores and prevents them from leaving. Carbohydrates and sugars will increase insulin. Seed oils will also impact insulin; they cause insulin resistance. [42:40] The Foods You Eat Could Be Blocking Your Ability To Feel Full Leptin is a satiety hormone. It tells us that we have eaten and that we are full. Seed oils will block leptin. If you aren’t feeling full, you will consume more food. Grains are high in lectins; they cause five times more fat storage than insulin. Lectins in grains will also block leptin. [49:55] Richard Reveals A Simple Test To Tell If You’re Insulin Resistant As a world, we are insulin resistant. In fact, 95% of people are insulin resistant. Diabetes will start with food choices that began ten to fifteen years prior. There’s a simple way to test if you suffer from insulin resistance. You have insulin resistance if you have an overhang over your pants, belt, or skirt. Restrict carbohydrates, and you will see a reduction in insulin levels. You don’t need a myriad of medications to solve insulin resistance. AND MUCH MORE!
