Dave Aspray is a little out there, but this is absolutely delightful interview focusing on Ben Bikman and his research. The energy and excitement they share during this interview is infectious.
I would say this is a good interview for someone to get started and see a high level tour of the ketogenic landscape.
If you’ve been told calories in, calories out is the key to preventing weight gain, think again. The truth is, blood sugar levels, insulin sensitivity, and mitochondrial performance play a far greater role in how your body stores and burns fat. You’ll learn how intermittent fasting, keto diets, fat fasting, and protein fasting can fix your blood sugar, optimize metabolic function, and even contribute to Alzheimer’s prevention. Dr. Bikman also reveals why ketones outperform glucose for brain function, how nasal insulin spray acts as a cognitive enhancer, and the shocking impact of environmental toxins on metabolic dysfunction. Plus, why some people can eat 400 grams of carbs and never gain fat—and what that means for your own metabolism. What You’ll Learn: • How to fix your blood sugar and reverse insulin resistance for lasting energy and health • The real science behind ketones in brain function and why ketones outperform glucose • Why fat fasting can help prevent weight gain and improve metabolic health • The hidden impact of environmental toxins on metabolic dysfunction and diabetes • How nasal insulin spray enhances cognition and its link to Alzheimer’s prevention • The role of intermittent fasting, keto diets, and metabolic flexibility in longevity • The truth about calories in, calories out—and why hormones control your metabolism This episode will challenge everything you’ve been told about food, fat storage, and longevity—and give you the tools to take control of your health today.
