Dr. Rhonda Patrick

Before we dive into this episode, I want to take a moment to remind you that I publish a weekly research newsletter, and if you're not signed up for it, you're missing out.

Each week, my team and I pick a recent groundbreaking study, often one the media has misinterpreted or incorrectly summarized, and we do a deep dive into its results and what they mean for you.

No topic is off limits, but we generally keep coverage to studies that are in the realm of nutrition, longevity, exercise, and brain health.

topics we know our audience loves.

A few examples of recent newsletters we've sent out include a fascinating study that linked living close to a golf course linked to a higher risk of Parkinson's disease, the widely circulated study showing that glass bottles might contain higher levels of microplastic than plastic bottles, and the first ever randomized controlled trial on creatine for Alzheimer's disease.

We believe that you won't find this information anywhere else and I encourage you to subscribe today so you can receive the very next email newsletter.

You can find that at foundmyfitness.com forward slash newsletter.

Welcome back to the podcast.

I'm very excited to be sitting here with Dr. Ben Bickman, who is a professor of cell biology at Brigham Young University.

And he specializes in all things metabolic disorders and metabolism.

So I'm pretty excited to have a very well-rounded discussion today, Ben.

This has been a while.

I've been following your research for some time now.

So I'm excited to have this conversation with you.

I'm too.

Yeah, thanks.

This will be great.

I kind of wanted to start out with something a little provocative and I don't want to say surprising.

This question for you is a lot of people that have normal blood glucose levels, quote unquote, can actually be insulin resistant.
