you know it's like what what is going on why is why is this big change this sort of homeostatic shift happening um we don't want that and then it can cause oxidative stress which is sort of this reaction where your body's producing metabolic byproducts that are reactive and can be damaging to the cells so these unpaired electrons that go around and want to bind with things it's resting exactly

So big glucose spike, you can have immediate effects on oxyostress, glycation, and inflammation. And then the fourth thing is this thing that's happening both immediately, but also really has cumulative effects, which is the insulin surge. So when you have that big glucose spike, your pancreas is releasing all this insulin to help you

soak up the glucose out of the bloodstream into the cells so it can be processed and bring the glucose back down and what can happen there in the short term is that if you've got a big spike so that big up and down um the insulin can actually sometimes overshoot it can actually do too good a job in soaking up all that glucose and you can have what's called reactive hypoglycemia

which colloquially is known as the post-meal crash. So if you've had lunch and then after lunch feel tired and you want to have that second cup of coffee at 1 p.m.

and maybe you feel a little bit more anxious, that might just be the fact that your blood sugar has gone up, you've released all this insulin, the insulin's kind of overshot, you've crashed down, and now you're in this dip and the body's trying to get back into balance. And that that roller coaster with insulin.

Exactly. And so that's happening in the short term. And then that insulin process, going back to what we were talking about before, can over time lead to that insulin resistance, where the cells see that huge surge in insulin so frequently that they actually say, we can't keep doing this. This is too much insulin, and we get numb to it. And that's insulin resistance.

And then what happens is your insulin levels, they start creeping up because your body's trying to overcompensate for that block by producing more. And then that leads to so many of the downstream conditions that we've been talking about. When you've got this high insulin, one of the secondary effects of that, let's just talk about obesity.
