Some of you may have heard of this.

And underlying these questions,

Let's look at some suggestive facts.

I became almost maniacally obsessed in trying to understand the real relationship between obesity and insulin resistance.

But what if we have it backwards?

Now failure to produce enough insulin is incompatible with life.

Cause and effect.

I, as you can see, I guess I'm not overweight anymore.

And insulin resistance, as its name suggests, is when your cells get increasingly resistant to the effect of insulin trying to do its job.

Once you're insulin resistant, you're on your way to getting diabetes, which is what happens when your pancreas can't keep up with the resistance and make enough insulin.

So for many of us, about 75 million Americans, the appropriate response to insulin resistance may actually be to store it as fat, not the reverse, getting insulin resistance in response to getting fat.

So what if we're fighting the wrong war, fighting obesity rather than insulin resistance?

That was her fight.

Now, most researchers believe obesity is the cause of insulin resistance.

When we become insulin resistant, the homeostasis in that balance deviates from this state.

So what we have is Monsanto leading in with a drought resistant corn and an abiotic stress resistant corn.

Now, my hypothesis, because everybody always asks me, is this.

Logically, then, if you want to treat insulin resistance, you get people to lose weight, right?

(Laughter)

Are you meeting any resistance?

The Resistance?

Conversely, we know that six million lean people in the United States are insulin resistant, and by the way, they appear to be at even greater risk for those metabolic diseases I mentioned a moment ago than their obese counterparts.

I dream of a day when our patients can shed their excess pounds and cure themselves of insulin resistance, because as medical professionals, we've shed our excess mental baggage and cured ourselves of new idea resistance sufficiently to go back to our original ideals open minds, the courage to throw out yesterday's ideas when they don't appear to be working, and the understanding that scientific truth isn't final, but constantly evolving.

Looks like she put up a hell of a fight.

Yes, but he was an unarmed prisoner.

Did meyers fight back?

You don't have any leverage.

Relevance

Well, what'd you do wrong?

She certainly resisted.

Take upstairs.

We're expecting resistance

Hey, hey, hey, look, you know, I don't want no trouble.

What do you mean? Against your will?

Come on, let's go!

Please don't fight, Maximus.

Don't fight.

You didn't resist.

FBI!

Stay down.

don't fight it.

We help build a resistance.

What's the connection?

What is effective? What is the right thing to do?
