Kyle Rootsaert: 我认为现代医学长期以来误将胆固醇视为慢性病的主要元凶,而忽视了糖和胰岛素的作用。John Yudkin 早在几十年前就指出了糖的危害,但却受到了打压。实际上,代谢综合征的五个关键指标是高血压、高血糖、腰围过粗、甘油三酯异常和HDL水平异常,而低密度脂蛋白胆固醇并非问题所在。胰岛素是现代医学中最大的秘密之一,因为它不仅降低血糖,还具有促进脂肪储存的促合成代谢作用,这一点常常被忽视。93%的人口患有某种代谢功能障碍,而这些问题的核心是胰岛素抵抗和高胰岛素血症。我们需要重视自身数据的意义,并利用连续血糖监测等技术来了解自身代谢状况,而不是依赖于过时的健康建议。糖尿病患者缺乏对自身数据的了解和解读能力,这阻碍了疾病的有效管理和逆转。A1C指标在糖尿病管理中缺乏价值,而连续血糖监测可以提供更全面和及时的信息。胰岛素抵抗的根本原因在于脂肪细胞为了避免破裂而储存脂肪,从而导致机体依赖碳水化合物作为能量来源。生酮饮食通过降低胰岛素水平,改变机体燃料来源,从而改善胰岛素抵抗和降低甘油三酯水平。高甘油三酯水平与心血管疾病密切相关,而高甘油三酯的根本原因是过量摄入碳水化合物。高甘油三酯水平反映了血液中游离脂肪酸的过量,这些脂肪酸会沉积在肌肉、肝脏、心脏等器官中,造成损害。不良饮食习惯会对线粒体造成多种损害,包括增加胰岛素水平、肝脏超负荷运转等,最终导致各种慢性疾病。现代医学在急性病和传染病方面发挥重要作用,但在慢性病的治疗和预防方面却存在不足,而个人应该关注自身数据并采取积极的干预措施。2型糖尿病并非不可逆转的进行性疾病,通过关注疾病的病因并采取相应的干预措施,可以实现疾病的逆转。医学界普遍忽视了对空腹胰岛素水平的检测,这阻碍了对胰岛素抵抗的早期诊断和干预。心血管疾病的发生需要炎症的参与,而降低低密度脂蛋白胆固醇水平并不能有效预防心血管疾病。2型糖尿病的发生往往在诊断前数年就伴随着胰岛素水平的升高,而医学界缺乏对这一现象的重视和检测。成功的糖尿病患者能够通过学习和理解自身数据来独立管理病情,而不需要持续依赖医生的指导。人们应该学习如何解读自身数据,并通过实验来了解食物和压力对血糖的影响,从而更好地管理自身健康。 Richard Jacobs: 作为节目的主持人,我没有直接表达具体的观点,而是引导Kyle Rootsaert阐述其在糖尿病、减肥和现代医学方面的观点,并就相关问题进行提问。

Chapters
Kyle Rootsaert, a board-certified advanced diabetes educator, shares his insights on diabetes prevention, glucose monitoring, and challenges common misconceptions. He highlights insulin's role in chronic diseases and the lack of comprehensive patient education.
  • Insulin is the biggest secret in modern medicine.
  • The five findings of insulin-resistant syndrome are high blood pressure, high glucose, expanded waistline, high triglycerides, and low HDL.
  • The focus on cholesterol as the primary driver of cardiovascular disease has overshadowed the crucial role of insulin and sugar.

Shownotes Transcript

Medication, diet, and lifestyle are among the biggest factors influencing human health. But how can we optimize these tools for better well-being? Joining us to share evidence-based insights on weight loss, diabetes, and the common misconceptions surrounding chronic disease is Kyle Rootsaert — aka the "Unscripted Pharmacist"...

Kyle is a board-certified advanced diabetes educator with experience in community, clinic and hospital pharmacies. He is also the president of The Unscripted Pharmacist), a diabetes reversal resource that empowers others to take control of their health using science-backed solutions. 

From Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGMs) to smart apps, Kyle is an educator on a mission to make healthy lifestyle choices accessible for everyone. How does he leverage his background as a pharmacist to fill the need for patient education? Hit play to see for yourself!

In this conversation, we cover:

The importance of sifting through health misinformation with speculation and research. The five findings of insulin-resistent syndrome. Whether or not cholesterol is a contributing problem for chronic diseases.  The biggest secret in modern medicine.
