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.
