Ep:315 HOW ARE YOU GOING TO DIE? HUMAN BIOLOGY EXPLAINED

hi folks this is Dr Rob Cyrus I am the carb addiction Doc and this video is kind of an independent video but it's also a follow-up to the CAC score video and the coronation calcium score video um because I think this is something that most of the people even the practitioners in our space don't quite understand and I didn't understand for a long time until I started to look at our data and and there was a Clarity for me about two separate Pathways of human genetics folks you know I've done a recent little experiment as you can see I'm wearing a G7 a Dexcom G7 CGM so I know what my blood sugars are every five minutes I typically run fairly low and you know that I drink heavy cream in my coffee every morning and the purpose of the heavy cream is to get me into ketosis some people with butter in their coffee some people put MCT oil in it some people put heavy cream in and this morning I happened to put whole milk not heavy cream in my coffee because I didn't have any heavy cream and my blood sugar went up by 38 points by 38 points in the course of 15 minutes and took about an hour and a half to come back down below 100. that's scary that's scary so I did an experiment instead of putting cream in my coffee I used Ketone IQ and Ketone IQ is a ketogenic product that also does what the milk in my coffee does it puts me into ketosis and prevents me from eating and the Paradox is that when I had my morning coffee with ketones instead of cream or milk my blood sugar went down by six points we're down by six points and I don't know how long it stayed there because it I fluctuate a little bit but it stayed level there was no bump it stayed flat so this stuff in the morning it also gives you a bit of a boost but in the morning instead of my cream instead of my whole milk and certainly I'm not a fan of putting MCT oil and butter in my coffee I just don't like the taste or coconut I just don't like the taste it it's fine to get into ketosis this is an alternative if you're interested in trying the promo code is down below in the show notes so if you look at the graphic that's appearing on the screen right now you'll see it's just a standard bell curve okay and on one side of the bell curve we've got a group of people who are predominantly diabetic have type 2 diabetes these are the type 2 diabetics and these people when they're over on this side of the of the graph they are what we call Toffee sitting on the outside fat on the inside but they really are lean they might be slightly overweight or normal weight but they have type 2 diabetes they have insulin resistance type 2 diabetes then on the other side we've got a group of people who are enormous they're massively enormously obese four or five hundred Pounders huge the kind of people you look at and say oh my God they're going to have a heart attack in about two seconds and but they're enormous and yet their blood sugars are normal and then obviously we've got the rest of the bell curve where people shift across so how does this happen and and what is the basis for this and why is it important to understand where on the spell curve you personally fit because this is a genetic bell curve so the starting point is this bell curve is irrelevant obesity and diabetes are irrelevant unless this thing you see in the middle here is part of your not as part of is your life and that is chronic excessive carbohydrate consumption chronic excessive carbohydrate consumption and when you're eating a lot of sugar and starch the way the body responds to that stores a little bit in the liver distributes through the tissues over time over over a long period of time um your cells start pushing back and start down regulating and changing the insulin insulin receptor so you need more and more insulin to be able to get sugar into your cells but what happens at first when you eat a lot of sugar and starch under the influence of insulin that Sugar by the liver and by the fat cells gets turned into fat we call that de novo lipogenesis new formation of fat liver does it fat cells do it fat cells store it liver cells packaging vldl as triglycerides and ship it out to the fat cells where it gets stored so that's what's happening and that is controlled and regulated by insulin so at first everybody who eats excessive carbohydrates starts to gain weight now the cells push back and you start to develop resistance to insulin and now genetically we've got two types of people two groups of people some people can produce massive amounts of insulin and we measure that in the bloodstream and you do measure when you measure c-peptide and Insulin you can measure their fasting cpeptide and Insulin through the roof those people no matter how resistant the cells are they can continue to push sugar into the liver into the uh fat cells fat cells under the influence of insulin liver not so much but continue to convert that sugar to Fat those people become enormous they're on this side of the bell curve but they don't develop diabetes their blood sugars stay relatively normal because they're so efficient at turning sugar to Fat okay the dis we'll come back to the disease Spectrum in a second the second group of people and everywhere from this part of the bell curve all the way across here at some point you're becoming fatter fatter fatter at some point you stop being able to convert extra sugar to Fat because you don't produce enough insulin to overcome the resistance and then the blood sugar starts to build up and as that blood sugar builds up it phosphate it it attaches permanently to the hemoglobin we call that hemoglobin A1c or A1C starts to rise up but that causes an inflammatory condition in the blood vessels that's where your plaque comes from from the inflammation of that chronically elevated blood sugar so these enormous people with normal sugar they don't have that inflammation because the liver and the fat cells are doing all the work the people that are not able to do that the blood sugar builds up they have the stroke and the cardiovascular risk and that risk increases as you move on the spell curve toward the diabetic side but at some point you stop being able to gain weight and then you circle around and you become increasingly diabetic as long as you eat chronic excessive carbohydrates where you are on that bell curve determines your disease profile and it's important because the physician I need to know where you are on that bell curve to be able to see what disease I expect what to look for the morbidly obese severely obese people with normal blood sugars in a normal A1C they're going to have a much higher cancerous they're going to have a higher Alzheimer's cognitive function failure risk they're going to have a high autoimmune disease risk thyroid disease Hashimoto's disease autoimmune risk and they are going to have as females polycystic ovarian syndrome and as males low testosterone high estrogen high estrogen okay those are the diseases they get so infertility you'll be a part of that as you move across to this spectrum those diseases go they decrease and what increases is your cardiovascular and your neuropathy neuropathy the nerves to your body all over your body so those people get cardiovascular risk their heart attack stroke risk is through the roof okay from the plaque and that correlates with the THC school video they need to pay attention to that cardiovascular risk the other risk they get is neuropathy so any nerve can be damaged nerves to the brain autism spectrum disorder starting point okay tinnitus migraines seizure disorders are they're at higher risk for those then you get the eye disorders the retinopathies you get the facial stuff you can then get cardiovascular sorry cardiac arrhythmias the electrical system of the heart becomes abnormal so the electrical system becomes a problem and a lot of people die because of electrical failure of the heart arrhythmias and atrial fibrillation that kind of thing which can cause secondary blood clots not related to the cardiovascular disease so there's a different form of clotting that is separate and apart from the cardiovascular score so that's why the CAC score is not the only thing you've got to look at the arrhythmias we haven't even talked about that we're going to talk about that in another video then you've got the GI disturbance you've got acid reflux you got the neuropathy of the gut you've got irritable bowel syndrome you've got constipation you've got diarrhea you've got GI upset then you've got deep banana erectile dysfunction you've got kidney damage you've got uh from the hyperglycemia you've got hypertension because the blood vessels get affected and then you've got peripheral neuropathy in your legs so that is the diabetic side and where you are on the Spectrum a small percent about three percent of people are pure tofi diabetics and about three percent are massively morbidly obese without having any diabetes and then anywhere in that Spectrum you got the crossover but the crossover is always from obesogenic back to diabisogenic and it depends on your instant production capacity what that Loop looks like so that's the issue and once you understand that as a physician as a patient you can do your blood work you can evaluate yourself to see where you are genetically not by testing your genes but by looking at your blood work and you can then manipulate your diet and medications and lifestyle to get yourself into the optimal shape well if you look at this graph the way it is the obvious thing is get rid of the circle over here get rid of chronic excessive carbohydrate consumption and all of that goes away there's the call to action this is not difficult to understand and yet it is the commonest set of diseases insulin resistance excessive carbohydrate consumption are the commonest set of diseases that occurred in America and in fact in most parts of the world right now and this is a simple problem to solve if it's not going to be solved in my lifetime understand that you can understand what your risk is and you can understand where to put the emphasis do I go and see the cardiologist do I see the surgeon what do I do to mitigate my disease I am the carb addiction doc if you understand that you understand we're going in the next video will be on arrhythmias and I'm trying to get a friend of mine who's a cardiologist to talk to me about this from an expert perspective because the two things we still need to talk about hypertension and arrhythmias and we'll do that if you want to consult if you want me to do your blood work if you want you me to tell you that story and give you the algorithm of care based upon your personal needs not some not some cutout of where I think you should be give us a shout 561-517-0642 text us call us WhatsApp us connect with us get an appointment we can get the blood work done we can analyze it for you and we can help you with your call to action I am the carb addiction doc till next time
