Mindsip insights from this episode:
Leverage exercise to enhance insulin sensitivity on high-carb diet
The study demonstrated exercise's powerful effect on insulin sensitivity while participants were on a Pritikin-style, very high-carbohydrate diet.
Incorporate exercise for insulin sensitivity benefits beyond weight loss
Adding exercise to a diet provides significant insulin sensitivity benefits even when it doesn't lead to greater weight or fat loss compared to dieting alone.
Focus on insulin clearance, not secretion, for better health outcomes
In the study, the pancreas released the same amount of insulin in both diet and diet-plus-exercise groups, indicating the benefit came from increased insulin clearance, not reduced secretion.
Enhance insulin clearance through regular exercise
Exercise improves insulin sensitivity not just by making cells more receptive, but by increasing the rate at which the liver and kidneys clear insulin from the blood.
