This One Habit Drains Fat From Your Liver, Says Insulin Expert (Video)

In this 2 February 2026 published video, host Steven Bartlett talks with Dr. Benjamin Bikman, a metabolic scientist and researcher whose work focuses on the role of insulin resistance in chronic disease. He is a Professor of Cell Biology at Brigham Young University and Co-founder of Insulin IQ, where he helps translate metabolic science into practical health strategies.

Dr. Bikman argues that insulin resistance is not just a symptom of diabetes but a foundational driver of conditions like infertility (PCOS), Alzheimer’s, and hypertension. He advocates for dietary patterns that prioritize low-insulin states, such as ketogenic diets and intermittent fasting, to allow the body to burn fat more efficiently. He emphasizes that building muscle is one of the most effective ways to improve glucose tolerance independent of insulin.
