  I’m 75 years old and have a 25 year plan. Dr Lustig is the most important trusted advisor in my support plan.

  Great slogan: "You cannot outrun a bad diet". Until I was about 50 I believed I would always bounce back from sugar binges by exercising.

  The trouble with Keto is that it is a major threat to the medical and drug  ‘industry’ because it is too simple, too effective, and too safe. It just needs one person - YOU.

  My insulin was at a 8 last year, I reversed it to 3 in a year just by lifestyle changes. Thanks for all you do.

  Dr Lustig is a genius he just knows more then anyone else - dr or otherwise! !!  Probably because he has been doing this for decades.  He is dedicated and really is the only one I follow - period. I bought his book and cut out sugar and processed food.  I lost 20 pounds 150 to 130. And ALL my belly fat !!I have more energy and my lungs take in deep breaths better and my oxygen levels went from 93 to 98.  My ha1c was 5.6 - I’m going back (6 months later) for another test which I expect to be much lower.  I have said this before but I believe Dr Lustig deserves a Nobel Prize for his work and dedication to educating the human race AND the health establishments and doctors all over the world.

  15 years ago I asked a diabetes consultant ' why dont we measure insulin'. I was told it was unreliable. I bought a horse. She was insulin resistant! Vets measure insulin. Her fasting results were normal. I insisted on a postprandial test. The tesult was 20 times normal. Because grass is loaded with sugar she can only eat hay that is 10% sugar. On that she lost nearly half her weight, gained muscle mass and normalised her immune system. Why is it ok to measure insulin in horses and not humans.

  Down 122lbs. The difference is amazing. Once I learned about insulin and it’s effect. Game changer. Don’t understand why doctors never mentioned it before.

  this was so helpful!:)  i had no idea how early it can start. ran labs just to be sure and my fasting insulin was already elevated. dd labs through vital test hub and then started making changes right after that. glad this info’s getting out there!

  I particularly appreciate the discussion on the origin of insulin resistance in the liver vs. in the muscles. Robert Lustig is great explaining why fructose (for instance, in refined sugar) is so detrimental to health. D'Agostino being a researcher on the same field makes for a great interview discussion so far. Thanks for hosting these important discussions. 😊
