Episode #35: Part 1: Insulin Resistance, Weight Gain, Heart Disease & Alzheimer's with Dr. Jonny Bowden

In this video, Andrea Donsky, Nutritionist, Menopause Researcher, Educator, and co-founder of Morphu, interviews Dr. Jonny Bowden, author of many health books, including "The Great Cholesterol Myth, Revised and Expanded." Jonny Bowden is also a personal trainer, has a Ph.D. in Holistic Nutrition, and is a Certified Nutrition Specialist. He reveals how insulin resistance may contribute to weight gain, heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, as well as kidney, liver, and lung disease - and discusses the increased risks as we enter into perimenopause, menopause, and andropause. He also shares how we can test for insulin resistance and a diet we can follow to prevent, decrease, or reverse insulin resistance (high blood sugar levels or high glucose levels).Morphus Berberine https://bit.ly/3K5jO1LMorphus Omega 3-T https://bit.ly/3rpSFjC0:00 Introduction0:44 Jonny Bowden’s revised and expanded book, "The Great Cholesterol Myth"3:08 An explanation of insulin resistance and how it relates to diabetes, heart disease, Alzheimer’s, and many other chronic diseases.7:13 Insulin resistance and healthy metabolism.12:41 Perimenopause, menopause, and andropause and why insulin resistance often appears during this time.14:45 Type 3 diabetes, its effects on our brain health, and its relationship to Alzheimer's.19:16 Insulin Resistance and The Cancer Code by Jason Fung.20:04 Causes of insulin resistance and testing.22:37 Diet changes to make to prevent, decrease, or reverse insulin resistance.31:28 A test you can do at home to see if you are insulin-resistant and tests you can have ordered by your doctor.Watch Part 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_Wa8e8Qz80 Morphus Berberine https://bit.ly/3K5jO1LMorphus Omega 3-T https://bit.ly/3rpSFjC Website: https://jonnybowden.com/   ===== Are you in perimenopause or menopause? Join our Wearemorphus PRIVATE group here: https://bit.ly/2MsxBBf ======🛍️S H O P🇺🇲The Great Cholesterol Myth, Revised and Expanded By Jonny Bowden: https://amzn.to/39cRpDU🇺🇲The Cancer Code By Dr. Jason Fung: https://amzn.to/38r1A8q🇨🇦The Great Cholesterol Myth, Revised and Expanded By Jonny Bowden: https://amzn.to/3bkppRc🇨🇦The Cancer Code By Dr. Jason Fung: https://amzn.to/2LzmWrv======🔔 S U B S C R I B E: https://bit.ly/2UTjmb0 ====== 🦋J O I N our email list: https://bit.ly/2y9bmwJ ====== // S O C I A L M O R P H U S ↙️ ▸ instagram | @wearemorphus | https://bit.ly/367EfWU ▸ facebook | /wearemorphus | https://bit.ly/2T8ySkM ▸ twitter | @wearemorphus | https://bit.ly/2Taqa5w ▸ email | [email protected] A N D R E A D O N S K Y ↙️ ▸ instagram | @andreadonsky | https://bit.ly/2T9HojG ▸ facebook | /andreadonskyRHN | https://bit.ly/2WB4UYT ▸ twitter | @andreadonsky | https://bit.ly/3cDj5C9 ▸ linkedin | https://bit.ly/2Teraph N A T U R A L L Y S A V V Y ↙️ ▸ instagram | @naturallysavvy | https://bit.ly/2X1jEPD ▸ facebook | /naturallysavvy | https://bit.ly/2Zd1sVY ▸ twitter | @naturallysavvy | https://bit.ly/2z3soNi ▸ Pinterest: naturally savvy | https://bit.ly/367GERh ▸ email | [email protected]: This podcast contains affiliate links, which means that if you click on any of the product links, Naturally Savvy will receive a small commission so we can keep pumping out podcasts like this one (please note this doesn't increase the price of the product).
