What was once considered an "old timer's disease" actually begins in your 20s and 30s, though diagnosis often occurs much later. Epidemiological data indicates that Alzheimer's diagnoses are increasing in the 40-50 age range, not just in the 60-70 range. Just as prediabetes and insulin resistance can be identified early, it's now possible to see what's happening in the brain much earlier. This allows for intervention and prevention of progression to full-blown dementia.

Muscles are where you dispose of glucose, and our ability to metabolize glucose and regulate glucose levels is central to our existence on this planet. When we get it just a little bit wrong, we go to hell in a handbasket. That's what type two diabetes is. The difference between you and someone with type two diabetes is an extra one teaspoon of glucose in the bloodstream. The most important part of blood sugar regulation is having muscles that are big enough to put the glucose into, and that are insulin sensitive enough to respond to the signal of insulin. That's how critical it is that we regulate our blood sugar.

Ten percent of 65-year-olds, 25% of 75-year-olds, and 50% of 85-year-olds will develop dementia or Alzheimer's disease. Despite spending over $2 billion on drug treatments, efforts have failed. Scientists at Brown discovered insulin resistance in the brain, likening Alzheimer's to type 3 diabetes. Poor metabolic health, often due to insulin resistance caused by excessive insulin and sugar, drives the cascade leading to Alzheimer's. Evidence of Alzheimer's can appear 30 to 40 years before symptoms arise. The typical diet, high in sugar and starch, contributes to diabetes of the brain. Understanding this allows individuals to heal their brains.

Sugar, not fat, causes fat accumulation. When sugar is consumed, insulin levels increase. Insulin's primary role is to inhibit other forms of energy use, including fat metabolism. Consequently, fat accumulates in the blood, leading to elevated blood fat levels. Individuals with high sugar intake tend to have elevated triglycerides due to high insulin levels. High insulin levels are generally associated with diets rich in sugar, especially refined sugars.

Diabetic or prediabetic, or when a lot of sugar is in the bloodstream after you ate sugar, there’s going to be a lot of damage to four parts of the body: the eye, the kidney, the nervous system, which includes your brain and the inside of your arteries. The sugar can be thought of as something that’s rusting out or corroding the body tissues because you’re getting a lot of free radical damage in something called oxidation. This description highlights how elevated sugar levels can lead to tissue injury in multiple organ systems through oxidative, free-radical processes. The statement links diabetes, sugar load, and oxidation to systemic damage.

Inflammation releases pro-inflammatory proteins, causing insulin resistance. Insulin resistance in various tissues spreads chronic disease. Hypertension, the most common cardiovascular problem, is mainly caused by insulin resistance. Alzheimer's disease is referred to as type three diabetes, or insulin resistance of the brain. Erectile dysfunction, a common form of male infertility, stems from insulin resistance in blood vessels. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a common cause of female infertility, results from insulin resistance affecting the ovaries and sex hormone production.

Alzheimer's and dementia are actually type 3 diabetes, caused by insulin resistance in the brain. Elevated blood sugar levels for 10 years prior to diagnosis are common in early onset patients. The misconception that these diseases cause memory loss is incorrect; patients lose access to their memories, but this access can be restored. The brain consumes 45% of the carbohydrates we consume, and it will take what it needs from other sources, such as calcium from bones or amino acids from muscle tissue. The brain also activates a receptor that rewards us with dopamine for consuming sugar, leading to addiction for many.

Insulin resistance occurs when cells resist insulin's attempts to deliver glucose. After eating, glucose is created, and insulin transports it to cells. Overeating causes cells to reject the glucose, but the body continues producing insulin. To avoid diabetes, insulin stores the excess glucose as fat, especially around the belly and organs, elevates triglycerides, and creates a fatty liver. Diabetes occurs when insulin can no longer store the glucose and it ends up in the blood. A standard A1C diabetes test may not detect insulin resistance, as it often appears normal until the condition has progressed for years. A specific insulin resistance test exists. However, if you have poor nutrition, excess belly fat, and elevated cholesterol, you are likely insulin resistant, regardless of a normal A1C result. It is important to take action before it's too late.

High cortisol levels may increase the risk of developing diabetes. Cortisol can break down bone, fat, and muscle tissue, sending the breakdown products to the liver. The liver uses these products to make glucose and release it into the bloodstream. The liver also stores glucose as glycogen, which can be converted to glucose with the help of epinephrine and norepinephrine. High cortisol levels can increase the effectiveness of these two hormones, resulting in more glycogen breakdown into glucose. These mechanisms can cause excess glucose to build up in the blood, potentially leading to insulin resistance and type two diabetes.

Eye problems—macular degeneration or retinopathy or cataracts or glaucoma—"usually stem or get triggered from oxidation, high levels of oxidation, usually from too much blood sugar." This links to diabetics, where you see "so many problems with the eye or high levels of insulin." While "other things in the diet can affect the eye, but the big thing is the sugar," sugar is singled out as the main factor. The speaker adds that "the high sugar also will deplete you of certain nutrients as well." The overall view is that sugar-driven oxidation is a primary driver of eye disease, with nutrient depletion accompanying high sugar.

Insulin, a hormone made by your pancreas, is essential for life. Your body's main source of energy is glucose, a simple sugar that comes from the food you eat. Insulin is released when glucose enters your bloodstream to help glucose get to the cells found in your muscles, fat, and liver. When you have insulin resistance, those cells don't respond like like they should to insulin. And when that happens, glucose can't efficiently be removed from your bloodstream or stored for later use. If those cells become too resistant to insulin, your blood sugar can become too high, leading to hyperglycemia. And over time, this can lead to prediabetes and type two diabetes.

Cortisol, a stress hormone, converts protein into sugar, prompting the liver to produce sugar from non-carbohydrate sources like fats, ketones, and protein. Elevated cortisol levels lead the body to create excess sugar, even in individuals who don't consume much sugar. This increase in sugar raises insulin levels, potentially leading to diabetes. This is why prednisone, a synthetic cortisol, lists diabetes as a side effect.

Normal blood sugar is 80—“one of these sugar cubes in all of your blood.” An average person consumes about 67 teaspoons of sugar every single day, through hidden sugars in bread, pasta, cereal, crackers, biscuits, waffles, pancakes, muffins, all the starches. How could someone actually have normal blood sugar if this is how much sugar they have, but yet when you check them, only one shows up? That is because of the hormone insulin. Insulin acts as like a vacuum cleaner, and it sucks the sugar out, converting it to this thing right here for about fifteen to twenty years until it becomes dysfunctional. The vacuum cleaner gets broken, and now it doesn't suck the sugar out. The sugar builds up, and that's called diabetes.

Insulin resistance occurs when cells resist insulin's efforts to move glucose, leading to excess glucose in the blood. This can result in fat storage, elevated cholesterol, and a fatty liver. The usual diabetes test may not detect insulin resistance, so symptoms like belly fat and high cholesterol should not be ignored. By addressing nutrition and lifestyle factors early, you can prevent diabetes.

Insulin resistance silently damages every system in the body, often without symptoms. Elevated insulin causes the kidneys to retain sodium, increasing blood volume and pressure, leading to hypertension. In type 2 diabetes, the pancreas overproduces insulin to stabilize blood sugar, eventually failing and causing blood sugar to rise. Chronically high insulin raises IGF-1, a growth hormone that can fuel cancer cell growth. Insulin resistance also changes the lipid panel, leading to higher triglycerides and lower HDL levels, driving cardiac disease. Insulin resistance is a health crisis, but it can be caught early and reversed.

Insulin resistance occurs when cells stop accepting glucose delivered by insulin. As we eat, food converts to glucose, which insulin transports to cells. Overeating causes cells to reject the glucose, but the body continues producing insulin. The body then stores the excess glucose as fat, especially around the belly and organs, elevates triglycerides, and creates a fatty liver. Eventually, insulin fails to store the glucose, leading to diabetes. A standard A1C diabetes test may not detect insulin resistance, as it only becomes abnormal after years of resistance. A specific insulin resistance test exists, but if you have poor nutrition, belly fat, and elevated cholesterol, you are likely insulin resistant, even with a normal A1C. It is important to take action before the A1C shifts and diabetes develops.

Insulin resistance is not just about blood sugar or body weight. It's silently damaging every system in your body, often without any symptoms at all. Elevated insulin causes your kidneys to retain sodium, and this increases overall blood volume and blood pressure. This is a direct pathway from insulin resistance to high blood pressure. What about type two diabetes? Your pancreas keeps pumping out more and more insulin to try to stabilize blood sugar, but eventually it can't keep up. Blood sugar rises and full blown diabetes sets in. Next, let's talk about cancer risk. Chronically high insulin levels raises IGF-one, which is a growth hormone.

Insulin resistance can lead to prediabetes, diabetes, and related complications. For 10-15 years, blood sugar levels can remain normal, but more insulin is required to maintain them. With insulin resistance, each time you eat, blood sugar spikes, and the body produces more insulin to compensate. Eventually, the body can't keep blood sugar at normal levels, leading to prediabetes. Blood sugar tests may reveal higher-than-normal levels, such as over 100 for a fasting test. As the condition progresses, the body's insulin production declines, resulting in uncontrolled diabetes, where blood sugar rises despite high or decreasing insulin levels. Early detection is crucial, but blood glucose tests are lagging indicators. Testing fasting insulin levels can help identify climbing insulin levels, indicating potential problems earlier.

Three macronutrient-based rules govern carbohydrate intake: avoid processed carbs, prioritize whole fruits and vegetables, and focus on protein and fat. Insulin resistance is the foundation of type 2 diabetes, which can be reversed through dietary changes rather than medication. A study showed that 11 women with diagnosed type 2 diabetes reversed their condition in 90 days through a dietary intervention aimed at lowering insulin without medication. To reduce insulin levels, fasting is the most effective method, as it allows insulin to drop quickly. When eating, focus on fats and proteins to keep insulin low. The conventional dietary paradigm, which emphasizes carbohydrates, is flawed; humans do not need essential carbohydrates. Instead, prioritize nutrient-dense animal proteins and healthy fats. Insulin resistance develops when fat cells become hypertrophic, leading to the release of free fatty acids and pro-inflammatory molecules that disrupt insulin signaling. To combat this, a low-insulin approach—controlling carbohydrates and prioritizing protein and fat—is recommended. Meal timing is also crucial; eating earlier in the day is more beneficial for metabolic health.

In America, one in three people have pre-diabetes, with 84% unaware of their condition. Metabolic dysfunction underlies many leading causes of death, including obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. The prevalence of pre-diabetes has tripled among adolescents in the last 20 years, raising concerns about lifestyle factors such as poor diet and inactivity. The healthcare system's inability to regularly test for pre-diabetes contributes to this lack of awareness. The Level system aims to address these issues by collecting data on blood sugar responses to various foods, revealing that ultra-processed foods often lead to significant blood sugar spikes. Common offenders include items from fast-food chains and snacks high in refined sugars. Walking after meals has been shown to mitigate blood sugar spikes, as muscle activity can absorb glucose without insulin. Research indicates that increased physical activity and better sleep correlate with improved blood sugar control. Foods that stabilize blood sugar include eggs, lean meats, avocados, and high-fiber options. The Level system also offers a standalone app for tracking food intake and lifestyle habits, promoting awareness of how diet affects health. Weight loss is linked to the duration of CGM usage and food logging, with users experiencing significant reductions in BMI. The conversation around metabolic health is gaining traction, with more people recognizing the importance of personal responsibility in managing their health. The future of healthcare may shift towards empowering individuals with tools to make informed dietary choices, ultimately leading to better health outcomes.
