Why do insulin spikes matter?
I have a question about this episode 270 ‒ Journal club with Andrew Huberman: metformin, power of belief, & how to read scientific papers and this clip Understanding Insulin Resistance. Glucose disposal is tied directly to blood glucose and insulin. Basically, once glucose is consumed, it gets digested quickly and enters the bloodstream. In insulin-sensitive and metabolically healthy people, the hormone insulin is released. Can you explain how insulin takes glucose from the bloodstream and transfers it to cells, where mitochondria convert it into energy/ATP?
