*I lost 120 pounds in 2018 on a Carnivore Diet, I maintained that in 2019. In 2020 I struggled with some weight gain and then lost it again in 2021. For the last few years I have been maintaining a healthy weight. In December 2022 I had skin removal surgery (tummy tuck) and a brachioplasty/back lift in Feb 2025 to remove that excess skin. This channel just documents all of that journey and how our family lives normal lives and eats a meat based diet.

Tonight we are exposing the massive lie that getting decrepit, obese, and diseased is just a "natural part of getting old." I'm sharing my own journey of turning back the clock, breaking down what the carnivore community already knows, and showing a quick clip from my wild day picking up a whole cow from Big Moe Cattle.

Studies on babies, rats, and children already showed that spinach was problematic. It interfered with calcium absorption. It caused calcium deficits. It stunted growth. The science was there across multiple studies from 1918 to 1935.
And then in 1937 the Council on Foods of the American Medical Association gave spinach an unqualified endorsement in JAMA. "Should continue to be regarded as a wholesome food." No caveat. No mention of oxalate. No mention of the calcium problem they already knew about.
We have been living with that decision for nearly 100 years.
Not all greens are created equal. Spinach, Swiss chard (actually worse than spinach for oxalate content), and beet greens are a different category entirely. When a product says super greens or superfood blend, chances are it has spinach or Swiss chard in it. That is not super nutrition.
The low oxalate greens are right there in the same aisle. Romaine. Arugula. Leaf lettuces. Watercress. Those are the ones worth buying.
Studies: McClugage and Mendel (1918), Sherman and Hawley (1922), Schlutz Morse and Oldham (1933), Fincke and Sherman (1935), Council on Foods JAMA (1937)

Can a ten-minute morning routine really help reduce stubborn cortisol belly? Dr. Eric Westman reacts to the claim that visceral belly fat can produce cortisol locally, creating a cycle involving higher insulin, inflammation, cravings, fatigue and further fat storage.
The proposed approach includes a 12- to 14-hour overnight fast, morning sunlight, three meals without snacking, fewer carbohydrates and supplements such as magnesium and ashwagandha. Dr. Westman agrees that reducing eating frequency and insulin may help, but questions whether the supplement protocol has enough clinical research behind it.

Your body has complex biological systems that influence hunger, metabolism, insulin, fat storage, and energy use. Understanding these systems may help explain why losing weight can sometimes feel difficult—and why sustainable weight management may require looking beyond calories alone.
In this video, we explore the science and ideas behind Automatic Weight Loss and how the body's metabolic state can influence whether it stores energy or uses stored body fat for fuel. 🔬
🧠 In This Video, You'll Learn:
🔹 What does “Automatic Weight Loss” really mean?
🔹 How your metabolism influences body weight
🔹 The connection between insulin and fat storage
🔹 Why hunger and appetite matter when trying to lose weight
🔹 How fasting can influence the body's metabolic state
🔹 Why simply “eating less” may not explain everything about weight loss
🔹 How the body decides whether to store or use energy
🔹 The biological factors that can affect sustainable weight loss

📢 Ask Dr. Bikman’s Digital Mind (multilingual):
https://benbikman.com/ben-bikmans-digital-ai-mind
📢 Dr. Bikman’s Community & Coaching Site: https://insuliniq.com
Topic:
Exercise is not a very reliable tool for losing weight because the body adapts by conserving energy and sometimes increasing hunger. Its greatest benefits are improving insulin sensitivity, building strength, reducing visceral fat, and helping you live a longer, healthier life.
Summary:
Dr. Bikman challenges one of the most common beliefs about exercise—that its primary purpose is to help people lose weight. While exercise certainly burns calories, he explains that the body quickly adapts by reducing energy expenditure elsewhere and, in many people, increasing appetite. As a result, the amount of weight lost is often much less than simple calorie calculations would predict.
Ben explains that these adaptations do not mean exercise is ineffective. Instead, they reveal that body weight is the wrong outcome to focus on. Exercise dramatically improves insulin sensitivity, allowing contracting muscles to pull glucose out of the bloodstream without requiring insulin. It also increases the number of glucose transporters in muscle, improves mitochondrial function, reduces dangerous visceral fat, and helps preserve or build muscle mass.
The lecture concludes by emphasizing that the greatest benefits of exercise have little to do with the number on the scale. Strength, fitness, muscle mass, and insulin sensitivity are all far better predictors of long-term health and longevity. Dr. Bikman’s message is simple: exercise to become stronger and healthier, and eat wisely if your goal is to become leaner.

I review several gamma entrainment devices in the Deep Sleep letter, along with the evidence supporting this tool. The only device I have personal experience with is Gamma Light Therapy, which was developed based on some of the early Nature research and is also one of the more affordable options.

Description
In this video, I break down the neuroscience of sleep and sleep efficiency and review why deep practical strategies that may you improve sleep quality—even when you can't always sleep longer. We'll explore everything from the glymphatic system (your brain's nightly cleaning cycle) to magnesium L-threonate, peptides, side sleeping, 40 Hz light and sound therapy, and emerging research on REM optimization.
Whether you're trying to improve cognition, protect long-term brain health, reduce Alzheimer's risk, or simply wake up feeling more refreshed, this video dives into both the established science and the exciting frontier of sleep research.
