- 3:35so chronic inappropriate inflammation
- 3:38and chronically elevated
- 3:39levels of insulin let's dig into this
- 3:43there are known foods that will spike
- 3:45your
- 3:46insulin level after you eat them and
- 3:48there's another
- 3:49long list of known foods that are
- 3:52delicious
- 3:53nutritious very healthy that don't spike
- 3:55your insulin level
- 3:57whatsoever that's that's the insulin
- 3:59story
- 4:00and my five tips are gonna speak
- 4:03directly to
- 4:04this hyperinsulinemia that you're
- 4:06currently suffering from
- 4:08hyperinsulinemia is very intimately
- 4:10connected with high blood pressure
- 4:12being overweight having pre-diabetes or
- 4:15diabetes having high triglycerides
- 4:18but you definitely don't have to be
- 4:20overweight you don't have to have
- 4:22diabetes
- 4:23or have high blood pressure currently to
- 4:26have chronically
- 4:27elevated levels of insulin in your body
- 4:31the inflammation part so there are
- 4:33there's a known list of foods that are
- 4:35very very inflammatory in nature
- 4:38they are more inflammatory in some
- 4:40people and less inflammatory and others
- 4:43but they appear to be inflammatory in
- 4:45all of us nonetheless
- 4:48here are the five steps that you can use
- 4:50starting today
- 4:51to begin to reverse the two root causes
- 4:54of your hs and you'll start to notice
- 4:57improvement in just a few days to a few
- 4:59weeks
- 5:00and this improvement as long as you
- 5:01continue to follow these five steps
- 5:04will be lifelong okay this is not just a
- 5:07temporary fix
- 5:08this is going to reduce permanently
- 5:12your hs lesions and completely eliminate
- 5:15the formation of new hs lesions step
- 5:19number one is you've got to keep your
- 5:21carbohydrate
- 5:22intake on a daily basis under 50
- 5:25total grams a day this is going to
- 5:28return your insulin level
- 5:30to a low normal level which is what you
- 5:33need
- 5:34in order to quiet down your hs
- 5:37flareups and progression any
- 5:40carbohydrates that you do eat
- 5:42need to be very low glycemic index
- 5:45carbohydrates like dark green veg
- 5:47and the like you don't need to be eating
- 5:49any under the ground
- 5:51tubers they're super high in starch
- 5:53which breaks down immediately into
- 5:55glucose in your body
- 5:56which immediately spikes your insulin
- 5:59levels
- 6:01number two is you need to avoid all
- 6:03foods
- 6:04containing or made with yeast
- 6:07and wheat now some people find that if
- 6:09they extend this to eliminating
- 6:11all grains from their diet that their hs
- 6:14gets
- 6:14even better the flare-ups become even
- 6:17less severe and less often but
- 6:20definitely there's research showing that
- 6:22if you
- 6:22drink or eat anything made with
- 6:25yeast and this includes beer and wine
- 6:28and many other alcohols
- 6:30this includes any bread that that
- 6:34has yeast to make it rise dried fruit
- 6:37is very often covered with yeast this
- 6:39includes any dried fruit including
- 6:41raisins which are dried grapes
- 6:44and then also anything that includes
- 6:46brewer's yeast we're actually told that
- 6:48brewer's yeast is a health food you
- 6:50should add that to your diet
- 6:52but people with hs find that they have
- 6:53an immediate flare up
- 6:55if they ingest any kind of yeast
- 6:59step number three is to avoid all dairy
- 7:03that's less fatty than heavy cream so
- 7:06avoid all low-fat fat-free skim milk
- 7:09products a hundred percent of the time
- 7:12even if something's made with whole milk
- 7:14that's probably still going to contain
- 7:16too much lactose which is milk sugar
- 7:19which immediately spikes your blood
- 7:20sugar
- 7:21and therefore spikes your insulin levels
- 7:23but they are also going to contain a
- 7:25high
- 7:26amount of casein and whey which are two
- 7:28dairy proteins that in
- 7:30many people are quite inflammatory in
- 7:33nature
- 7:34and makes make make their hs much worse
- 7:37step number four is you gotta stop
- 7:39smoking
- 7:40smokers are five times more likely to
- 7:43have hs and five
- 7:44times more likely to have frequent
- 7:46flare-ups of hs
- 7:48so whether you switch to vaping or you
- 7:52quit all together
- 7:53you've got to get the tobacco smoke out
- 7:55of your mouth and out of your body
- 7:57and then step number five there's not a
- 7:59lot of research yet to support this one
- 8:01but thousands of people with hs
- 8:03have found that if they will eliminate
- 8:06all vegetables from the nightshade
- 8:08family and you you can do a quick google
- 8:11search and find out there's a it's a
- 8:12pretty long list
- 8:14uh but steps one through four if you
- 8:16have hs they're mandatory you've got to
- 8:18do
- 8:19all four of those if you want to to
- 8:22uh find that one day you're able to stop
- 8:25letting hs dictate your life dictate
- 8:27what outfits you wear
- 8:29what events you go to uh and just
- 8:32you know who you reveal your body to you
- 8:35will be able to
- 8:36do those things like a normal person if
- 8:38you follow steps one through
- 8:40four some people with hs may need to
- 8:43implement step five eliminating the
- 8:45night shades
- 8:46as the final fifth step necessary
- 8:50to allow them to live a normal life with
- 8:53very minimal
- 8:54hs symptoms and very very infrequent
- 8:57flare-ups
- 8:58many doctors are not aware of the
- 9:01hyperinsulinemia
- 9:02connection with hs so when you go to
- 9:05your doctor ask for two lab tests and
- 9:07they're gonna
- 9:08immediately tell you are you
- 9:10hyperinsulinemic or not you're gonna ask
- 9:12for a
- 9:13fasting insulin level and you're going
- 9:15to ask for a
- 9:16c-peptide level if these two come back
- 9:20elevated then you're still eating too
- 9:22many carbohydrates
- 9:24for your personal biochemistry you want
- 9:26to continue to reduce the carbohydrate
- 9:29intake on a daily
- 9:30basis until you have a normal fasting
- 9:33insulin
- 9:34and a normal c peptide level then
- 9:37that's the amount of carbohydrates that
- 9:39you're going to
- 9:40eat on a daily basis that's the right
- 9:42amount for you
- 9:44and you're going to notice a drastic
- 9:45improvement in your hs symptoms when you
- 9:47do that
- 9:48there are multiple tests that your
- 9:50doctor can check for chronic levels of
- 9:52inappropriate inflammation
- 9:54most doctors are aware of these tests so
- 9:55you shouldn't have to take the list to
- 9:57them they should know which ones to
- 9:58check
- 9:59many hs sufferers have just given up all
- 10:02hope
- 10:02of ever living a normal life and not
- 10:05being constantly
- 10:06self-aware of how their body looks again
- 10:09i ask you please share this video with
- 10:11someone you know who has hs
