Submitted Protocols
Targeted Berberine Dosing Between Meals for Glycogen Re-Sensitization
Verified Public Record: "Berberine hydrochloride activates cellular AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and upregulates GLUT-4 glucose transporters, mimicking the insulin-lowering and lipid-clearing benefits of intermittent fasting." — Dr. Jason Fung (The Diabetes Code, Chapter 14: Sensitizing Cellular Glucose Uptake, p. 204 (2018))
Momordica Charantia Charantin Protocol for Cellular Sugar Uptake
Verified Public Record: "Traditional bitter melon (Momordica charantia) contains charantin and polypeptide-p, phytonutrients that stimulate AMPK and support peripheral cellular glucose disposal without spiking endogenous insulin." — Dr. Jason Fung (The Diabetes Code, Chapter 13: Traditional Culinary Bitter Botanicals, p. 190 (2018))
Berberine Alkaloid for Cellular Glucose Transporter GLUT-4 Activation
Verified Public Record: "Berberine hydrochloride activates cellular AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and upregulates GLUT-4 glucose transporters, mimicking the insulin-lowering and lipid-clearing benefits of intermittent fasting." — Dr. Jason Fung (The Diabetes Code, Chapter 14: Sensitizing Cellular Glucose Uptake, p. 204 (2018))

Berberine HCl Protocol for Hepatic AMPK Activation & Lipid Clearing
Verified Public Record: "Berberine hydrochloride activates cellular AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and upregulates GLUT-4 glucose transporters, mimicking the insulin-lowering and lipid-clearing benefits of intermittent fasting." — Dr. Jason Fung (The Diabetes Code, Chapter 14: Sensitizing Cellular Glucose Uptake, p. 204 (2018))
Therapeutic Time-Restricted Intermittent Fasting Protocol
Cyclic suppression of basal and postprandial insulin levels through structured 16:8 daily time-restricted eating or alternate-day 24-hour fasts, allowing depleted liver glycogen and opening cellular gates for macro-autophagy.

Therapeutic intermittent fasting: The hormonal basis of insulin regulation

Primary Citation: The Obesity Code: Unlocking the Secrets of Weight Loss (2016). Verified Public Record: "Obesity is a hormonal imbalance of hyperinsulinemia, not an issue of caloric math. You cannot access and burn endogenous body fat when circulating insulin levels are elevated, and intermittent fasting is the most potent natural way to drop insulin." — The Obesity Code (Chapter 16: Fasting: The Ancient Secret, p. 211 (2016))
