Description

In this episode we discuss:
 

  • Whether you should be concerned about low T3 or high glucagon on low-carb diets

  • Whether insulin resistance is a problem of excess glucose metabolism or excess fat metabolism

  • Whether a low metabolic rate allows you to live longer

  • Whether high-carb diets cause overeating and insulin resistance

  • Whether you should be concerned about glycation on a high-carb diet

  • And much more
