Calvin Scheller is an 18-year-old science extraordinaire who began studying and mastering medical literature in order to better communicate with his physicians after his own experience with autoimmune disease at the young age of 13. His courageous journey of self advocacy during a time when he felt alone and baffled by his symptoms led him to memorize, digest, integrate, and teach others about the complex mechanisms within our bodies (and how to heal through nutrition and lifestyle). He is a superb science communicator and now health coach \u2013 taking the difficulty out of reading medical studies, and putting the power of their information in our hands. Today, Calvin gives us a master class on insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, PCOS and why carbohydrates are NOT the cause of these conditions. We discuss the dietary factors that contribute to insulin resistance (and the many misconceptions you\u2019ll find online), as well as the best ways to increase your insulin sensitivity and master your metabolic health well into old age.&amp;nbsp;   HERE\u2019S THE JUICE:   Why carbohydrates are not the cause of insulin resistance   How excess dietary fat is more problematic for insulin resistance than excess carbs or sugar   Why saturated fats can be more inflammatory within the context of insulin resistance than plant fats   The true mechanism behind insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome: excess fatty acids within our cells   How we can burn off the fatty acids that cause insulin resistance and why blood sugar spikes aren\u2019t the FULL issue, they\u2019re more of an effect   Why insulin resistance begins and how it\u2019s actually an adaptation   How inflammation also drives insulin resistance and other holistic factors you need to take into account like chronic gut infections, to mineral deficiencies like zinc, to stress, processed foods, sleep issues and more   Why insulin resistance within the ovaries is specifically tied to PCOS and exactly how to target this with diet and lifestyle   &amp;nbsp; Watch the full episode on What\u2019s The Juice YouTube Channel&amp;nbsp;  To shop our new PCOS protocol \u201cThe Cysters Kit\u201d at 15% off, click HERE &amp;nbsp; To support our ad-free show, shop Olivia\u2019s line of herbalist-formulated supplements for digestion, anxiety, thyroid support, and more by visiting www.organicolivia.com. &amp;nbsp; Connect with Calvin: Instagram YouTube  Connect with Olivia: Follow Organic Olivia&amp;nbsp; Olivia\u2019s personal IG Organic Olivia on TikTokRead Olivia\u2019s blog posts &amp;nbsp; Links Mentioned: Alan Aragon\u2019s Research Review Papers &amp;nbsp; ","author_name":"What's The Juice","author_url":"http:\/\/whatsthejuice.libsyn.com\/website","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/32019282\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/88AA3C\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/item\/32019282"}
