In today’s episode, we have Karan Sarin, author of Sick Nation, breaking down why India is facing a silent metabolic epidemic.
We talk about how insulin resistance actually develops, the early symptoms most people ignore, and why BMI is a poor health marker for Indians. Karan explains how much sugar is truly enough, how you are consuming sugar without realizing it, and why fruits are not always healthy in a metabolically damaged body.
The conversation goes deeper into the coming dementia crisis in India, insulin resistance as a hidden driver of PCOS, and why erectile dysfunction can be an early warning sign of metabolic damage. We also discuss how chronic stress quietly destroys metabolic health, veg vs non-veg diets from a metabolic lens, and the three most important levers to fix metabolic health.
This episode is essential for anyone serious about long-term health, energy, and disease prevention.

Wat beef everything will be okay
while these are true, the way they are told is not very convincing, its best explained by a doctor. rest all are quacks.
Bhai its informative but isko complete karna tha na.. kito diet aur tarika/plan bhi discuss kar lena chahiye tha..
politically correct hone ka casual tareeka
Don't make things over complicated. Please try to avoid processed food. Please don't consume simple carbohydrates like white sugar. Try to add protein in your meal and don't be a static person. Do regular exercise atleast for one hour. Before every meal do some exercises like a 3 minutes plank. That's it. You will be able to lead a relatively healthy life.
Very well explained. I love this podcast.
Better explanation on INSULIN RESISTANCE 👏
Ohhh isliye kehte hn…ki jyada sugar hone se dimentia bhi ho skta h
Karan sarin bhot acha knowledge rkhte hn
Sach kaha ki fruit ko juice krke nhi khana mujhe dr. Ne bola tha yeh
Yes hybridization krke in elite logon ne sare plants vegetable change krndiye hn
Mere dadu ki age 85 h…vo abhi bhi sirf one time meal khate hn..or vo mentally physically fir hn
Aj khana bhot hi jyada nutrious h over power dene bala h..itna hmari body ko chahiye hi nhi …agr 10 mg protein per hour hmari body ko chahiye to hm daal chawal bgera ko mix krke utna ya usse jyada ka carbohydrates khare h na ki protein
Yeh sir bilkul sahi bol rhe hn…jo wheat ka wild variety tha…vo ab baisa nhi h…ek scientist the unhone poore world ke…wild variety ko study kia tha..fir unhe modify kia tha…yeh chapter h hme botany mein… starting of the book ka h yeh chapter in 3 rd year of bsc
U should also know that…people are in now days are eating genetically modified food….wild variety jo pehle thi vo ab koi bhi nhi uga rha h…yeh elite logon ka tareeka tha ..bhot highly nutritious food bnayenge..jisse unse body digest hi na kre…or unko digest krne ke liye hi dwaii bnayenge ..or excess of food se hone bali bimarion se dwaii se apna dhanda chlayenge
Itne saal pehle food excess mein nhi tha to log..jitna khate utna unhe digest ho jata tha…ab log itna jyada kha re hn…but digest krne ke liye kuch ni kr rhe…pehle log khate the bhookh khtm krne ko..ab log khate hn..mn bhrne ko
Sugar molecule and carbohydrate molecules are same in structure

Dear guest just stop fearing Hindus and say it outloud that meat is the only option
This is the best podcast ever I have seen. This is a life changing experience.
Thank you soo much it was very insightful
Searching for the thumbnail information in the whole video!!!
raj shamani stop asking dumb question like i dont believe wheat, bread, etc isn't sugar lol like most of are here to learn abt more mostly has passed it and u denying guest statement to show and portay audience that you are not accepting that our daily foods are this and that lol being kranti Kari n cool।। same guest with other hosts are already educated in same parts and asking advance questions n u sticking upoon stupid questions with that steady mouth turning down to show cool ।। ye nhi maanta me nhi maanta same was done in ram Verma episode,, me nhi maanta lol ।।। tunahee ba manne se kya just to portray yourself to audience that denying guest statement looks cool in stupid things। loke even in thumbnail look at your face being denial 😂😂
Sugar is just the need for several metabolical pathways such as tca or glycolysis which is essential for atp generation and several metabolites such as pyruvic acid which turns into organic acids like mainly lactic acid and this helps in digestion or production of co 2 gas
Overall only food sugar or fruit sugar are enough for that
Raj wonderful podcast. It would have been more excellent if you could have spent more time on solutions and more Indian food options!
Food quality which is worst in India
Bring Doctor Kishlay in your podcast
Amazing podcast. One request, pls enable audio in different languages. My parents do not understand English well and
Message is lost. However, they are the ones who are resistant to changes. This can be an eye opener to many like mine.
What is exact clinical lab test for measuring insulin resistance?
Very intelligent man Mene karan sarin ke sare dekhe podcast
It is your best podcast ever ❤
I listened this podcast thrice. Information loaded 👌👍👌👍
Jau & Bajra grains pehle Haryana mein yahi khaate thhe.
ये खुद confuse है।
Pls bring Dr K Metabolic Doctor in your podcast
very informative.
The main point he has driven home is the root of all evil is Insulin Resistant Resistance se puri tareekey se bachna hai humay !!
It's really very knowledgeable.
I have learned so much about diabetes and sugar…
Great podcast
Everything is good , but he didn't took note of the importance of fibre at all !
Bring Karan sarin one more time, is in depth knowledge about food is amazing, will ask more about food evolution
There is no info regarding the title "stop having morning tea."
Please comment something
@richa Maam where is the Rs 299 plan on your app ? I couldn't find it plus Apke plans are also not so economical as said by u and sir or this podcast
The best topic for every Indian to watch, useful, factual information and will make huge impact on people’s health. Eat healthy, worry less, more protein,
Minimise carbs & stress 👍👍
90% indian people r addicted to tobacco,gutkha,alcohol,narcotic drugs
This is d main risk factor n no one is talking on it ….
Almost all talks including examples like pebble one are taken from Podcasts – Dairy of CEO
Passing great info to Indian audience is ultra good.
Lekin weight gain krne ke liye carbs jaruri hai
बहोत अच्छा पोडकास्ट था
Then what you eat 😂nothing left
