Metabolic syndrome may be a protective mechanism. Let me explain. DATA: https://tidsskriftet.no https://www.ahajournals.org https://ajcn.nutrition.org/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com
There's no official cause behind Metabolic Syndrome, although it's treated in a very similar way to Type 2 diabetes - drugs! But, what if we are looking at these conditions the completely wrong way? In my opinion, both metabolic syndrome and Type 2 diabetes start out as a protective mechanism, where the body is trying to protect itself against the massive blood sugar spikes and inflammation created by the poor diets so many of us consume these days. The combination of processed sugar, high fructose corn syrup, and nasty vegetable oils (and other seed oils) are ruining the body, so it tries to protect itself. But this only works in the short term before the insulin resistance starts to kick in. I've seen so many people reverse these conditions through massive lifestyle changes that in my opinion, medications should ONLY be used short term (if at all) while teaching the person how to start reversing everything. In this episode I cover the lifestyle changes you'll need to implement immediately if you're in (or headed towards) metabolic syndrome or type 2 diabetes.
Metabolic Syndrome also known as Syndrome X is the combinaiton of insulin resistance, elevated triglycerides and low HDL cholesterol along with elevated blood pressure. In this episode I break down signs and symptoms, pathology and recommendations for this condition.

The importance of knowing the glycemic index of your food choices is a preventative measure in your child's health and behavior. This will also help to prevent obesity and diabetes along with keeping his gut flora in better balance. The glycemic index or GI is a way to measure the physiological effect that various foods have on blood glucose levels. Knowing this can help you to control those hunger and energy fluctuations during the day by eating better choices. This becomes very easy in a short period of time. Once you begin to learn what foods are high and which are low it starts to fall into common sense. Based on scientific data foods have been tested to show their effect on blood glucose levels. Foods with a low GI will have less of an effect on blood sugar than foods with a high GI. The foods we eat have a direct impact on how quickly our bodies are able to digest them. Slower digestion gives your body a chance to regulate the release of insulin better. Many inexpensive, pocket-sized books are sold on the glycemic index. It is worthwhile to pick one up and learn how the different foods you are feeding your child will affect his blood sugar. If we look around at the childhood epidemic of obesity and diabetes it is easy to see how it can be prevented by better choices of food. Some foods and their glycemic content are listed below. There are also many websites available. • Foods with a high GI break down rapidly, therefore releasing glucose into the bloodstream very quickly. This causes a rapid release of insulin which starts to weaken the body's ability to balance blood sugar levels. This also weakens the adrenal glands (our stress-handling organs), which then weakens the thyroid gland which helps to regulate our hormone levels. All of this contributes to diabetes and obesity. Foods with a low GI will break down more slowly releasing glucose into the bloodstream more gradually. Lower glycemic index foods will: • Keep you feeling full longer • Assist in weight loss, (by reducing insulin levels it helps you burn fat). • Assist in the prevention of diabetes, heart disease and some types of cancer. • Help prevent hypoglycemia, which is associated with headache, fatigue, sleep problems, and lack of mental clarity. • Improve blood lipid profiles. • Assist in better cholesterol levels • Help with metabolic syndrome (insulin resistance also known as Syndrome X).

To honor Heart Health Month, Jenn sat down with Dr. Philip Ovadia. He's a cardiothoracic surgeon who learned, the hard way, that everything he was taught about nutrition growing up and in med school was wrong, and was the leading cause of patients ending up on his operating table. He's now helping people transform their health through lifestyle. He believes that 90% of his surgical patients could have prevented the need to see him!

Dr. Timothy Henry, MD, Lindner Family Distinguished Chair in Clinical Research and Medical Director of The Carl and Edyth Lindner Center for Research at The Christ Hospital discusses coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) a type of non-obstructive coronary artery disease that causes decreased blood flow to the heart muscle, affects the smallest arteries, and won't always show up on a regular exam. (The condition used to be called Syndrome X, and patients were assumed to be experiencing anxiety or a psychological issue rather than a cardiac one.) He talks about the warning signs and the developing treatment options in the space.

You probably have heard the term before. Insulin Resistance (IR) refers to our ability (or inability) to regulate blood sugar in the body. Insulin resistance is more common now than ever. It can be influenced by a variety of different factors, like what you eat, how much you eat, exercise, snacking habits, stress, and sleep. Today, we are going to go over the basics of IR, the role it plays in weight loss, and (most importantly) give you actionable steps to improve and reverse it. Don’t forget!

Today we're talking about the Ketogenic diet again, with a guest who became an unlikely expert in the topic. Dr. Harlan Kilstein is one of the foremost marketers working today, generating over 100 million dollars in sales in the past 20 years. Harlan is also the owner and publisher of the Dodington Post: The Internet's Newspaper for Dogs, which reaches approximately 2.5 million people each week. But that's not what he's on the show today, although you might still hear a little bit about dogs! I wanted to talk to Harlan because he experienced a powerful transformation after switching to a Keto lifestyle, and now he's helping thousands and thousands of others do the same with Completely Keto. He has garnered over 1M followers on Facebook since launching in 2017, with hundreds of thousands devouring his Keto recipes each week. Metabolic Syndrome & Keto Nearly 35 percent of all U.S. adults and 50 percent of those 60 years of age or older were estimated to have the metabolic syndrome in 2011-2012, according to a study in the Journal of the American Medical Association. Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of conditions that occur together, increasing your risk of heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes. These conditions include increased blood pressure, high blood sugar, excess body fat around the waist, and abnormal cholesterol or triglyceride levels. And if someone has Metabolic Syndrome, any type of sugar or sweetener can be problematic. So, Keto can be a great option for individuals with Metabolic Syndrome, also called Syndrome X. There is No One-Size-Fits-All Diet: Who Shouldn't Try Keto? Although Keto can be transformative for some people, it can be dangerous for others. I look at it a bit like a hammer: you are either a glass jar or a nail! So, who shouldn't go on a strict Keto or low-carb diet? Anyone taking medication for diabetes (insulin) Anyone taking medication for high blood pressure Anyone who is currently breastfeeding or pregnant should consult with a medical professional Kids and teenagers should consult with a physician, as their carbohydrate needs are different from adults People with gallbladder problems or who have had their gallbladder removed should consult with a medical professional about whether they can safely try Keto The Good, Bad, & Ugly of Keto First, an overview of what the Keto Diet looks like, nutritionally: 70-85 percent from fat 15-20 percent from protein Less than 10 percent from carbohydrates Potential downsides: Possible symptoms of extreme carbohydrate restriction that may last days to weeks include hunger, fatigue, low mood, irritability, constipation, headaches, and brain “fog” “Keto Flu” Constipation The keto diet is high in fat, including more harmful saturated fat. Burton said that studies have shown that if you eat a diet high in saturated fat, your risk for a heart attack is four times higher than if you ate the recommended amount of saturated fat each day. That amount is between seven to 10 percent of your total calories. You may develop nutritional deficiencies. When you cut out entire food groups, you miss out on important nutrients essential to your health Some negative side effects of a long-term ketogenic diet have been suggested, including increased risk of kidney stones and osteoporosis, and increased blood levels of uric acid (a risk factor for gout). Cyclical Ketosis? Another option is Cyclical Ketosis, which can help reduce some of the long-term effects listed above while still garnering many of the benefits of a Keto diet. The benefits of a cyclical keto diet include: Satisfies carb cravings, so it's easier to follow the keto diet long-term Keeps you lean Improves sleep Better immune function Healthier balance of gut bacteria (which influences your health and your mood) -- Resources: Learn more at http://www.completelyketo.com (www.completelyketo.com) Join the...

Keto and polycystic kidney disease [10:15] Megan Hi, my name is megan, I'm a 30 year old female with an inherited disease called polycystic kidney disease. I have many large cysts covering my kidneys and liver and with an MRI scan I have an 80 percent chance of reaching kidney failure before I turn 40. There is no cure for it, my grandfather passed away from it at 47 and my mom is on dialysis waiting for a transplant. There were some studies showing previously that calorie restriction and low body weight can slow cyst growth (I'm 5'4 and 126 pounds) and Recently, the Weimbs lab has done studies in rats and cats that have shown that the Keto diet with IF is reversing the disease completely. The pkd foundation is wanting to start human studies but it wont be for a while. My nephrologist called keto the starvation diet when I approached him about it and told me it was too restrictin, would take too long to see he would rather me eat less meat and more grains. I have experimented with keto and overall feel better with less flank pain. So my question is, I know that animals and humans react differently to these studies, but wondering if I should do the keto diet long term anyways, instead of wait for human trials to come out, or if it may do more harm than good with my low body weight and kidney issues. Thank you for your time. https://www.cell.com/cell-metabolism/pdf/S1550-4131(19)30515-7.pdf 2. Amenorrhea after two years on Keto [16:04] Kate says:: Hi, Robb and Nicki, I’m a big fan of the podcast and have had a dilemma weighing on me and wondered what y’alls input would be. See I have been on a the standard macro keto diet 70%fat 25%protein and 5%carbs for the past two years. I went keto after to my alarm going to the doctors finding my fasting blood sugar at 124mg/dL. I have experienced all the benefits of keto from normalized glucose levels throughout the day to mental clarity. My fasting glucose is now 80mg/dL and goes into the 70s three hours post meals. My only problem is that period has completely stopped since going keto. I don’t restrict calories, only lift 4 times a week for around 45minutes and I don’t do any high intensity exercise or running. I also meditate daily and even use a red light to combat daily inflammation and stressors in life. To add to this I also am at a healthy weight for my height and have never had any weight problems all my life, I just had “metabolic syndrome” at a healthy weight. To take a deep dive I ran a ultrasound and found that I have a small cyst on my liver as well as a small amount of biliary sludge on my liver. I then proceeded to get a HIDA scan, a MRI of my abdomen, and pelvic area. Every came back normal so I then proceeded to run a hormone panel which then led me to get diagnosed with Hypothalamic Amenorrhea. I then decide that my HPA-axis most likely needs stimulation so I had a sweet potato consisting of 25grams of carbs with ground beef for lunch one day. The problem is after the meal I began having to urinate around every 15 to twenty minutes for the next two hours. I then proceeded to feel very jittery and anxious quickly following the meal. This led me to have a crash later in the day and I had to have a snack as I became profusely famished. I have never had to snack before I I eat a three large meals a day filled with whole keto foods and plenty of protein. I believe I still have insulin resistance but I want to be able to transition to a low carb style diet in order to stimulate my LH, HPA-axis, thyroid, and increase my estrogen levels in order to menstruate to protect my body from osteoporosis and other side effects of amenorrhea. My question is what route should I take in order to become fertile and is it possible to never reverse insulin resistance but just to put it in remission? https://robbwolf.com/2014/03/21/carb-reloading/ 3. Hey Ya'll it's time to "take down the Girl scout cookie army" [22:58] Joshua says: Dear Healthy Rebellion, Ok guys- I've been crazy Keto, Carnivore, low carb high fat for 9 years now. I follow Paul Saladino, HPO with Shawn Baker, Brett Scher, Gary Fettke, Diana Rodgers, Mark Sisson, Taubes, Teicholz, etc... You get it. I'm on the scene. My wife has RA and together we have gotten her health and wellness in check due to the above crowd and amazing people like you! I am grateful to the low carb and similar communities. I have personally gone from a 6'1", 190lb competitive cyclist to a lean mean 169lb very competitive cyclist in Colorado. I also use LMNT and love it!!! I spent a decade(well my whole life) not understanding salt, electrolyte etc... what a great product man! I love it. I use S-caps and similar stuff and LMNT is by far the best! Anyhow- the "tone" of your podcast is such that I think YOU are crew to call out and take down the girl scout community or at least call them out. A quick search yields that girl scout sell 200 million boxes of cookies each year! WTFucking FUCK! Will you do an episode and take this on? Sincerely, Josh T American millennials' mental and physical health is on the decline — and they're on track to die faster than Gen X, a new report says 4. Diabetes- all of the iterations and different ways to treat them [35:50] Jason says: Well first off, like everyone, thank you for all you do and provide! I've been following you for several years and really appreciate your approach to health and trying to be the healthiest version of ourselves and also being open-minded and not super dogmatic. Which leads me to my question...As a health care provider I am always trying to learn new approaches and stay open to ideas on health outside of my normal. As a result I recently listened to a podcast on a plant-based podcast by Cyrus Khambatta and Robby Barbaro about diabetes and the mitigation and reversal using high carb-low fat/protein. Some of the things made sense to me but is also contrary to what I learned and what I hear most people talk about. I am wondering if you have heard or read anything by them and have thoughts on their biochemistry reasoning and/or how they are reportedly "fixing" diabetes by prescribing a high carb approach? Thank you again and keep up the good work https://carnivoremd.com/carnivore-vs-fruitarians-a-friendly-debate-with-robby-and-cyrus-from-mastering-diabetes/ 5.

Syndrome X, Metabolic Syndrome, Insulin Resistance. All names for the same phenomenon that not only makes it hard to lose weight, but also contributes to many other chronic health problems. Let's dive in and take a look at what it is and how you can fix it! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/drjeni/message
Syndrome X is also known as the Metabolic Syndrome, Insulin Resistance or Pre-Diabetes. It can best be described as the chemical imbalance that makes your body store fat. This chemical imbalance also stops you burning fat. The key to weight loss is you must get your insulin working better which will get your insulin levels down. Only then can you burn fat.
Dr Sandra Cabot and Nutritionist Louise Belle discuss healing liver disease with foods. If you have been diagnosed with a fatty liver it is vital that you take a pro-active approach, otherwise the condition will progress and your liver function will deteriorate. Fatty liver is closely associated with Syndrome X (insulin resistance) and an increased risk of type 2 diabetes. Luckily fatty liver disease is reversible; the liver is able to repair itself and fatty deposits can be removed from within it.

Metabolic syndrome is a serious health condition that you should be aware of!
By now most of you know that weight gain and obesity are far more related to complex reactions in the body rather than to calorie or fat intake, and that our weight and body composition do not so much depend on the dietary ingredients themselves, but much rather on the hormonal and biochemical reactions these metabolically different food categories (fat, carbohydrate, protein) elicit in the human body. Excess insulin, excess blood sugar, excess cortisol and excess free radicals are the four main elements that promote ever-worsening hormonal regulation of and communication between cells, damaging our entire metabolism and ultimately leading to weight gain, accelerated aging and the development of chronic diseases. The chief hormonal culprit in promoting excess body fat is Insulin. Insulin is a large polypeptide hormone secreted by the beta-cells of the pancreas, and its production is directly stimulated by blood sugar (glucose). Insulin is needed to allow glucose from food to enter cells in the body and in the brain. There, glucose is broken down to produce the energy needed for the cells to work properly. Insulin is the chief hormone the body uses to lower excessively high blood sugar. So we do need Insulin! Too low, and we would end up with Type 1 Diabetes. But too high, and we end up with weight gain, Type 2 Diabetes and other chronic diseases. Ideally, our fasting insulin should be lower than 5. Overweight people tend to have higher baseline levels of insulin, which puts them automatically in fat-storage mode. On the contrary to most other hormones, such as thyroid, DHEA, testosterone and growth hormone, etc. which decrease with age, insulin levels often increase with age. Insulin inhibits lipolysis (the breakdown of stored body fat for use as organ/muscle fuel), stimulates fatty acid synthesis (from both sugars and fats) and decreases the hepatic concentration of carnitine (carnitine ‘shuttles’ fatty acids into mitochondria) in most cells for use as ATP energy fuel. Insulin stimulates the fat cells to take up fat and sugar from the blood and store it as body fat, especially in the middle of the body, within the abdomen and around the vital organs. It causes sodium retention with consequent water retention and consequent hypertension (high blood pressure). It stimulates the liver to convert sugar and dietary fats into triglycerides, the form of fat that circulates in the blood and is stored in fat cells. It promotes atherosclerotic plaque formation, with studies showing that insulin-injecting diabetics typically develop atherosclerosis 10 – 20 years earlier than non-insulin-injecting diabetics. High insulin can ultimately lead to the so-called ‘Syndrome X’, which involves the clustering of hyperinsulinemia, insulin resistance, hypertension, hyper-triglyceridemia, glucose intolerance, obesity, low HDL cholesterol and heart disease. As Western people age, they tend to develop the condition of insulin resistance, wherein the target cells of insulin – especially the muscle cells – become more and more resistant to ‘hearing the message’ of insulin. This in turn lessens the blood sugar-lowering effect of insulin, and as the body tries to compensate, the pancreas produces higher and higher insulin levels. Ultimately, even smaller amounts of sugar will lead to even higher blood sugar and insulin levels. This condition is called glucose intolerance. The onset of glucose intolerance may be due to frequent snacking on high-energy, carbohydrate-rich foods which prevent insulin levels from returning to normal fasting levels and are keeping insulin circulating in the blood for most of the day. If levels are chronically higher, cells must become somewhat insulin resistant. Why? Because most cells can burn either fat or glucose for fuel, but the brain (under non-fasting conditions) can only burn glucose and typically needs 400 – 500 calories/day of glucose – about one half the normal total circulating blood sugar. The brain doesn’t need insulin to absorb glucose, giving it a competitive edge over the other 40-100kg of tissue – unless insulin levels are frequently high. Thus in order to safeguard the brain’s minute-by-minute blood glucose delivery, other cells must develop insulin resistance when insulin levels are frequently or chronically high, so that they don’t ‘snatch’ all the blood glucose from the hungry brain. The primary hormone that should raise blood sugar to adequately feed the brain is glucagon. Glucagon, also secreted by the pancreas, is Insulin’s hormonal partner in regulating and fine-tuning blood sugar levels. Glucagon levels are largely determined by the amount of incoming dietary protein, just as insulin levels are strongly related to the amount of incoming carbohydrate. Glucose stimulates insulin production and inhibits glucagon production. Just as insulin lowers high blood sugar, glucagon raises low blood sugar – especially important when we skip meals, exercise severely, fast, etc. But insulin can inhibit glucagon release – especially at high concentrations. So then the body goes to “Plan B”: the release of cortisol. Cortisol, our stress hormone, comes to the brain’s rescue in two ways. It increases gluconeogenesis – breaking down proteins from skin, muscle and organ tissue and converting them to glucose in the liver. But cortisol also causes a moderate decrease in the rate of glucose utilization by cells everywhere in the body, causing insulin resistance! Thus excess insulin, cortisol and blood sugar are all interlocking and mutually enhancing. And not only does cortisol cannibalize precious body protein to make blood sugar, it also weakens the immune system, contributes to obesity and damages hippocampal neurons, the very ones lost in Alzheimer’s disease! Cortisol will also be secreted to raise blood sugar in those who frequently skip meals, are fasting, or are under severe stress. Severe, chronic stress is a threat to the body, not only because it increases cortisol production but also because the body needs to ‘steal’ pregnenolone, the scarce precursor of steroid hormones, to make its cortisol and pregnenolone might then not be available anymore for the production of other ‘good hormones’ such as testosterone. As noted earlier, cortisol is extremely fat-storage promoting and is the chief culprit of muscle catabolism (breakdown), directly opposing testosterone’s anabolic muscle-building action. The problem doesn’t end there, however. In both men and women, testosterone may be converted to estrogen through an aromatase enzyme. And the aromatase enzyme exists and functions primarily in body fat! Furthermore, estrogen is itself a powerful pro-fat hormone. Indeed, insulin, estrogen and cortisol are the three primary pro-fat hormones of the human body. The Anti-Insulin, Anti-Cortisol Program 1. Seriously reduce, or better yet, eliminate all processed, refined, junk food, high sugar (sucrose, fructose, glucose), high white flour “foods”: bread, pastries, cake, pie, candy, ice cream, crackers, cereal, corn/potato chips, snack bars, waffles/pancakes, soft drinks and doughnuts. 2. Increase your glucagon production with lean protein: low-fat (ideally grass-fed, organic) beef, lamb, chicken, turkey, fish etc. 3. Reduce carbohydrate-intake to 75-150 grams/day. These carbohydrates should be mainly vegetables, with small amounts of brown rice, millet, beans, almonds, pumpkin seeds and other unrefined, high-fiber natural foods. Even though all carbohydrates have some tendency to stimulate insulin release, some are worse than others. Experts have reported that when human volunteers were given drinks or meals calculated to contain 50 grams of carbohydrates, “… glucose and insulin responses were 35-65% lower when starch was the carbohydrate source than when either glucose or sucrose [white sugar] was the carbohydrate source….” Natural unrefined starches (especially vegetables) cause less hyperinsulin responses than sugar-rich foods such as candy, cake, pie, doughnuts, soft drinks, sports drinks, etc., as well as natural sugar foods such as dates, figs, dried pineapple, etc. 4. Take 40-60 minute brisk walks, 4-6 days/week, ideally barefoot on natural grounds, such as grass or sand on the beach. Going barefoot allows you to “ground” with the Earth and absorb negative electrons from the Earth through the soles of your feet – with a potent antioxidant effect, combating free radicals. Avoid walking in highly polluted areas. 5. Reduce stress in your life. Learn to say no, turn off your phone, meditate, read a good book, go for yoga or do whatever helps you to relax. 6. Take supplements to optimize your biochemistry – Vitamins C, B3, B6, B12, NADH, Alpha Lipoic Acid, CoQ10, Iodine, Magnesium, Manganese, Zinc, CLA, GLA, EPA, Chromium, 5-HTP, cinnamon, etc. Stay fit and healthy!
In case you have not heard, America is now officially the most obese country in the world! We now have two out of three people overweight, and almost half of them officially obese. Obesity is not something to take lightly, pun intended. But you already know that. What I want to tell you is this: it is NOT your fault. Yes, you know the rules: if you take in more calories than what you use up, it will end up stored as fat. But why are you so compelled to eat more than you need to? So whose fault is it? I blame the industrial production methods that have been gradually taking over our food processing industry. It starts with government subsidized large scale farming of cereal plants - wheat, corn and soy - on overly fertilized but under-mineralized soils. The top prize goes to the packaged foods that are so rich in addictive flavors and stimulants, that you stand no chance to resist. Once you become addicted, it is nearly impossible to break free.
