[2:24] Dr. Clum’s interesting childhood

[7:12] Dr. Clum’s life as a chiropractor in Costa Rica

[10:59] Dr. Clum’s story of getting into his passion for Diabetes

[14:54] Introducing his model in the medical world
He had to study and research diabetes holistically to back up his own diabetes prevention program as it completely opposed the ADA Diabetes Guidelines.
He fought for the recognition that the insulin-based model is the more effective approach in diabetes.

[20:31] ADA’s Diabetes Prevention Program vs. Dr. Clum’s Insulin-based Model
ADA’s is a traditional model and focuses on regulating blood sugar.
It is based on low fat, low calorie, small frequent meals and snacks, increasing physical activity and medication.
A study showed that it does not prevent diabetes, but only postpones it.
Dr. Clum’s program focuses on controlling the root cause of diabetes, the insulin.
Insulin sensitivity decreases symptoms of Type II Diabetes.

[26:39] Diabetes is not irreversible, degenerative disease.
Diabetes is seen in the medical world as irreversible degenerative disease and requires life-long management of blood sugar.

[28:12] The major role of hormone Insulin in Weight loss and Diabetes
According to Dr. Clum, “Weight loss in itself is pointless.”
In order to treat Type II diabetes, the diabetic patient needs to lose only 1 gram of fat out of the pancreas.
It’s not the caloric intake; it’s the insulin that plays in weight management
Insulin-based program in treating diabetes is more complex than calories in = calories out

[36:30] The concept of fed and lean state
In a constant fed state, the insulin is up all the time.
Eating is any time our body consumes calories.
An average American is in a constant fed state, eating about 17-23 times a day.
When you fast, your body starts to repair damaged cells in your body.

[41:15] Dr. Clum’s 30-day of fasting
His fasting started from 3 days and gradually progressed into 30 days.

[44:30] Negative connotations in fasting – muscle wasting and not getting through it
There’s no need to be afraid of muscle wasting as muscle comes back and recovers, as seen in athletes as well.
The goal of fasting is not to just get through it, but to have the ability to do it.

[47:48] How much of an impact has eating high healthy fat, low carb diet been for his patients, especially diabetic patients?
Keto diet is commonly used to control snacking.

[51:48] Skin as a metabolic organ
The skin makes 50% of men’s testosterone.
In women, it makes up 75% of their estrogen and in menopause, it makes 100%
Your skin has a huge role in cancer and insulin resistance.

[53:15] Vitamin D can be an indicator in detecting insulin resistance.
