Dr. Benjamin Bikman is a world-leading expert in insulin resistance and fat loss.

He just did a 2-hour podcast with Steven Bartlett.

It's hit about 1 Million views in 4 days.

Here are the top 10 lessons that go against everything mainstream health advice taught you 🧵
1. Insulin is massively underrated.

It controls what every cell does with energy.

From your brain to your bones, insulin dictates whether you burn or store fat.

When insulin is high, your body is in storage mode.

It literally cannot burn fat.
2. Calories matter less than you think.

Dr. Bikman explains that two meals with identical calories produce completely different results based on insulin response.

The low-carb meal increases metabolic rate.

The high-carb meal tanks it.

Same calories, opposite outcomes.

Dr. Rhonda Patrick.

The biochemist who's spent decades uncovering what REALLY causes heart disease, cancer and diabetes.

Here are her top 8 rules for peak health (bookmark this): 🧵

1. Drink coffee. It cuts your risk of an early death by 30%
Coffee reduces your risk of heart disease, cancer, diabetes and stroke if you:

- Have it black
- 2-3 cups a day
- Only in the mornings

It's rich in polyphenols, antioxidants and even has some vitamins and minerals.
2. Get enough Vitamin D.

Get more sunlight. If you can’t, take 5000 IUs of D3 a day with 100 mcg of Vitamin K2.

It's not just a vitamin - it's a steroid hormone.

It lowers your risk of every chronic disease, depression and dementia.

It even improves your genetics:

It's 2026 and more Americans every year suffer high blood pressure.

Meds don't work consistently.

Cutting salt makes almost 0 difference.

Reducing fat and meat intake even makes it WORSE.

Here are the top 10 science-backed foods to lower blood pressure (bookmark this): 🧵
1. Beets.

Packed with nitrates that convert into nitric oxide in your body.

Nitric oxide relaxes and widens blood vessels.

One glass of beet juice can drop blood pressure by 10 points within hours. Image
2. Avocados.

They have twice the potassium of a banana.

Potassium balances sodium and relaxes blood vessel walls.

Magnesium supports smooth muscle function.

Healthy fats calm inflammation.

Have them with eggs, salads and bowls. Image

2026 is here.

If you want to lose 20+ lbs, fix any chronic diseases, and get off meds without:

- Endless cardio
- Starving yourself
- Just "Eating less and moving more"

Start fixing your metabolic health with these 7 simple ways: 🧵
1. Improve insulin sensitivity.

When cells resist insulin, your body produces MORE insulin to force glucose inside.

High insulin BLOCKS fat burning and forces your body to store everything as fat instead.

Fix this first or fat loss is impossible no matter your calories.
2. Boost mitochondrial function.

These cellular powerhouses burn fat by:

- Oxidizing stored body fat for fuel
- Increasing metabolic rate naturally
- Creating heat through thermogenesis
- Converting fatty acids into ATP energy

Get more from exercise, cold exposure, & fasting.

Heart disease is America’s #1 killer.

Yet red meat intake is down 25% since 1970.

How? Because steak doesn’t cause heart disease...

Here are the top 8 causes (and how to fix all of them to protect your heart) 🧵
1. Lower your blood pressure naturally.

It damages artery walls and forces your heart to work harder.

This creates scarring and plaque buildup.

Aim for under 120/80 through lowering stress, exercising and reversing insulin resistance.
2. Reverse insulin resistance.

It destroys heart health by:

- Raising triglycerides
- Damaging artery walls
- Creating small dense LDL particles.

Cut sugar, processed carbs and lose excess body fat to fix this fast.
