    #27_1-25-21_Role of Insulin (and other hormones)

    Today's episode discusses how we store fat and how insulin is responsible for about 70% of our fat storage.  The episode that goes through how Sugar and Flour are the main culprits in raising blood sugar and then leads to the release of insulin.  When blood sugar (glucose) is elevated the body releases insulin to: 1) Tell us to stop eating (stupid) you are full / you have consumed enough energy (as we pass through our 20s the brain stops listening to this role because we have been too exposed) 2) Directs body to move blood sugar / glucose into storage in our fat cells 3) Directs body to block access to our body fat because we do not want more energy available - we want less.   The combination of the above lead to fat stacking, meaning we have fat that we are blocking access and now stacking new fat on top.   We have to be insulin neutral to allow access to our fat.  2 main things are needed to get access to our fat or be insulin neutral: 1) Limit sugar and flour (limits release of insulin) OR don't eat (fasting) where no insulin is released 2) An energy deficit, meaning our body requires more energy than we are taking in.  When this is present, then the body will begin eating your fat.  We also discuss roles of stress (cortisol), Leptin and Ghrelin in hunger and related issues of fat.
