I mean, what you're stimulating is an excessive production of insulin.

And you're going to wake up the next morning.

What time did you wake up this morning?

And do you have, did you have a solid seven, eight hours of sleep or how?

So during that time, you finished eating around 10 o'clock then it sounds like?

Yeah.

Okay.

So then it's seven.

A little bit later.

Okay.

So 11 o'clock and you've got 7.30 in the mornings when you woke up.

So that's about eight hours since you've eaten.

Your insulin is still churning.

especially if the meal was large and there was carbs in it so now you've got these processed foods late at night and you're at the beginning of the disease right you're at the beginning of the chronic inflammatory churn of how do you age faster and faster you don't do that you don't have high insulin throughout the night so can you explain to me like i'm a 12 year old what insulin is and the role it's playing because you know i guess we're focused here on how to i guess longevity aging yeah for a second but how does insulin play a role in all of this and what is insulin

So insulin insulates, okay?

So think of it as it makes you fluffy.

It puts the fat on.

It's got some other roles too, but we're gonna talk about chronic diseases here where it's not a scarcity problem.

You make plenty of it.

And when it's in excess, it will store energy for when you go through a famine.
