Summary of Transcript:
This video discusses the relationship between inflammation, insulin resistance, and weight gain. Inflammation contributes to insulin resistance, which leads to diabetes and high glucose levels in the blood. The more fat a person has, the more inflammation they will experience, which can worsen diabetes and slow weight loss. The primary drivers of inflammation are glucose, too many carbs, and omega-6 oils. Lowering carbs and intermittent fasting can improve insulin resistance and aid in weight loss. In addition, lowering stress, reducing alcohol intake, avoiding too much iron, and treating hidden infections can help reduce inflammation in the body. The video also offers a keto consultant service for people who need help starting or troubleshooting their keto diet.

Summary of Description:
Inflammation contributes to insulin resistance, which can lead to diabetes and weight gain. Glucose, or too many carbohydrates, is the primary cause of inflammation, which can worsen type 2 diabetes and hinder weight loss. The keto diet and intermittent fasting are powerful tools for weight loss, and lowering inflammation can be achieved by avoiding alcohol, fixing infections, lowering omega-6s, fixing cortisol resistance, and avoiding iron supplements. To get into ketosis, it is necessary to lower carb intake and decrease eating frequency.

Understanding the Link between Inflammation, Obesity, and Diabetes
In this video, Dr. Eric Berg, a chiropractor specializing in healthy ketosis and intermittent fasting, discusses the link between inflammation, obesity, and diabetes. He addresses common misconceptions about this relationship and offers tips for reducing inflammation and promoting weight loss through a ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting.
Does Inflammation Cause Diabetes?
Dr. Berg notes that while inflammation does not directly cause obesity, it can worsen type 2 diabetes and hinder weight loss efforts. This is because high glucose levels trigger insulin, which is an energy storage hormone that prevents fat burning. Additionally, the more fat in your body, the more inflammation you will have. As such, there is a cyclical relationship between obesity, inflammation, and diabetes.
What Causes Inflammation?
While there are various secondary causes of inflammation, such as too much iron, too much omega-6, alcohol, cortisol resistance, and infection, the primary cause is glucose, or too many carbohydrates. Therefore, if you want to reduce inflammation, you should focus on lowering your carb intake.
How to Speed Up Weight Loss
Dr. Berg explains that the two primary ways to get into ketosis, a metabolic state in which the body burns fat for energy instead of glucose, are to drop your carbs and decrease the frequency of your eating. This can be achieved through a ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting. However, if you want to speed up weight loss, you should also work on reducing inflammation. This can be achieved by avoiding alcohol, fixing infections, lowering omega-6s, and fixing cortisol resistance (lowering stress), and avoiding iron supplements.

Conclusion
Inflammation, obesity, and diabetes are all interconnected. While inflammation does not directly cause obesity, it can worsen type 2 diabetes and hinder weight loss efforts. The primary cause of inflammation is glucose, or too many carbohydrates. Therefore, if you want to reduce inflammation, you should focus on lowering your carb intake through a ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting. By dropping your carbs and decreasing the frequency of your eating, you can get into ketosis and start burning fat for energy. Additionally, working on reducing inflammation can speed up your weight loss efforts by avoiding alcohol, fixing infections, lowering omega-6s, and fixing cortisol resistance (lowering stress), and avoiding iron supplements.

In this video, we’re going to talk about diabetes and inflammation. In my last live show, I discovered that many people still have some confusion about inflammation, insulin resistance, and obesity. I’m going to clear up these concerns in this video.
There are many different chain reactions that happen in the body when you’re dealing with diabetes and weight gain. It’s sort of a chicken or the egg situation: does diabetes cause obesity and inflammation, or does obesity and inflammation cause diabetes?
Inflammation does contribute to insulin resistance. Then, insulin resistance causes diabetes—which can cause weight gain. The more fat in your body, the more inflammation you’re going to have. This is a cyclical situation.
Keep in mind that inflammation, in general, does not cause fat directly. However, it can worsen type 2 diabetes and hinder your ability to lose weight.
The primary cause of inflammation is glucose—too many carbohydrates. Secondary causes may include too much iron, too much omega-6, alcohol, cortisol resistance, and infection.
Glucose is the primary driver of fat, too—it triggers insulin, which is an energy storage hormone that prevents fat burning.
In my live show, I asked the question, “what is the primary way to get into ketosis?” Not everyone said decreased carbs. Some people said taking ketones. This won’t cause you to lose weight.
The two things you need to do to get into ketosis are to drop your carbs and decrease the frequency of your eating.
The keto diet and intermittent fasting are powerful weight loss tools. If you want faster weight loss, you can then focus on lowering inflammation by avoiding alcohol, fixing infections, lowering omega-6s, and fixing cortisol resistance (lowering your stress), and avoiding iron supplements.
