Key wellness strategies & self-care/productivity takeaways

1) Screen for insulin resistance (3 at-home measurements)

  • BMI
    • Use as a quick first clue for excess fat tissue.
    • Aim to be in the “green zone” on BMI charts (not a final diagnosis, but a useful screen).
  • Height-to-waist ratio
    • Measure waist circumference around the belly button, then divide by your height (use consistent units: inches or cm).
    • If ≥ 0.5: indicates increased risk.
  • Hemoglobin A1C
    • A lab test showing your average blood sugar over ~3 months.
    • Small rises (e.g., 5.3–5.4) may suggest your body is losing the fight against insulin resistance.

2) Use ketogenic nutrition early to stabilize blood sugar (symptom improvement)

  • A ketogenic diet can help stabilize elevated blood sugar relatively quickly (e.g., morning sugars into the 90s).
  • The speaker emphasizes this may not mean you’re “cured” yet—it can treat symptoms while root causes remain.

3) Focus on reversing liver fat (the “real” reversal marker)

  • Core idea: high insulin drives storage and inflammation, especially in the liver.
  • The speaker explains progression can occur until the liver’s flexible storage (glycogen) is overwhelmed, leading to:
    • De novo lipogenesis → converting excess glucose into fat/triglycerides in the liver (fatty liver).
  • Main reversal claim: to truly reverse insulin resistance, you need to reverse fatty liver by:
    • Burning liver fat
    • Making ketones
  • Strong emphasis: “Anyone who tells you differently is wrong” (ketone production is presented as essential).

4) Monitor liver health with a practical lab clue

  • ALT above 25 is presented as an early clinical warning sign.
  • Elevated ALT implies the liver is working harder processing stored energy.

5) Track morning glucose + ketones together (effectiveness check)

  • The speaker’s “simple” confirmation step:
    • Measure morning glucose and morning ketones at the same time
  • They reference a specific method they teach via another video:
    • Dr. Bos ratio (linked as the next step for learning how to do this).
