Insulin Resistance and Cognition

The Metabolic Classroom with Dr. Ben Bikman

The brain is among the highest metabolic rate organs in the body. It needs a lot of energy, and it needs insulin’s help. When the brain becomes insulin resistant, we create an “energy gap” that stems from a genetic level.


Here are the resources that Ben references during the episode:
