122 - Unlocking the Secrets of Fat Loss w/ Dr. Ben Bikman

Benjamin Bikman earned his PH.D. in Bioenergetics and was a postdoctoral fellow with the Duke-National University of Singapore in metabolic disorders. Currently, his professional focus as a scientist and professor (Brigham Young University) is to better understand the role of elevated insulin in regulating obesity and diabetes, including the relevance of ketones in mitochondrial function. In today’s episode, Dr. Bikman and I discuss all things related to fat and how insulin plays a role in our fat storage. Dr. Bikman teaches us about the role of fat cells and metabolism when it comes to various health conditions. He teaches us why “eat less, exercise more” doesn’t work and how women store fat differently than men. In the words of Dr. Bikman, “there is literally no ability for the fat cells to either grow or proliferate and store more fat if insulin is kept at a low level”. Tune in now to learn more!
