You're missing the environmental aspect. There are meth and illegal drug labs everywhere now and neighbors smoking marijuana and cigarettes and having BBQ's every day and most of southern California lives within 10 miles of the busiest freeways in the world and are inhaling all that particulate and cancerous VOC pollution... the VOCs in ambient are are higher now that ever in known human history... people are living in cancer clusters due to out of control corporations and industry off-gassing super dangerous class 1 carcinogens. Air is the #1 most important factor in health, then diet... in that order. Even more than that, the majority of air quality experts have no idea that trace amounts of carcinogenic and toxic VOCs and particles have a huge effect. The majority of the air quality experts you can hire like CIH's primarily work for corporations and factories that use out of date and irresponsible OSHA and EPA risk limits that have no basis in trying to increase health, only avoiding lawsuits... so you can't actually find an expert who can advise you on air quality who knows anything except what they are paid to say by OSHA and big industry and big oil. VOC's and particle pollution are also potent neurotoxins. The qigong masters of old know and taught that if you want to live a longer life you cannot live in a city.
Hmm...you are the first person I've seen recommend finasteride for health promoting reasons. Usually it's mentioned by people trying to fight back loosing their hair follicles. And I hear many talking about side effects from using finasteride in this group too. So, I wonder how it suddenly became a health promoting drug...care to elaborate Dr. Brad? 😉
I have a question. I've heard that 1.6g of protein per kilogram of body weight is god from multiple sources. The question: Is that 1.6g/kg BW/day in reference to the weight of the serving of the protein source or is it the weight of the actual amount of pure protein within the protein source - ie am I calculating the weight of the protein on the plate or the amount of protein on the nutrition table that is within the protein source? For example - a 100g serving of salmon has an avg of 22g of protein. If I ate 200g of salmon does that mean I have eaten 200g or 44g of protein according to this recommendation of 1.6g/kg BW/day? Thank you.
WOW This video has the most value per word of any video I have seen. Thank you Dr. Stanfield for laying it on the line succinctly. There are so many wandering through the TH-cam wilderness looking for this video that this calls for max distribution.
Dr. Stanfield, regarding statins and dementia: the study you cite is a few years old, and it appears to review statins as a whole - which seems like a faulty methodology. Recent studies suggest that lipophilic statins in particular are associated with declines in cognitive performance. Two very interesting studies are "Lipophilic Statins in Subjects with Early Mild Cognitive Impairment" (Journal of Nuclear Medicine, 2021) and "The role of statins in both cognitive impairment and protection against dementia" (Translational Neurodegeneration, 2018).
I am not sure hydrophilic statin, but I stop taking rusovastatin and ezetimibe, replace them with niacine 1000 mg, the results are I could regain my short term memory (early sign of dementia?), chronic muscles pain and control my cholesterol.
Any statin should be prescribed much like antibiotics at best. Given to lower cholesterol for a short period of time so a lifestyle change can take hold. Other than that they should be outlawed.
@@saltrock9642 out of touch with reality I’m afraid. CVD patients have LDL targets of 55 and only a tiny fraction of them are ready to change their diet even in the slightest. Statins are essential for these people.
Thanks for the links. I'd suggest looking at this 2021 meta-analysis published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology: "Similar risks were observed for lipophilic and hydrophilic statins for both dementia and AD, while high-potency statins showed a 20% reduction of dementia risk... These results confirm the absence of a neurocognitive risk associated with statin treatment and suggest a potential favourable role of statins" academic.oup.com/eurjpc/article/29/5/804/6454065 This study is higher up on the evidence pyramid, given that it's a recent meta-analysis published in a highly respected journal
I believe there are studies that show people with incredibly high ldl and have great cardiovascular health, and it can't be said that ldl in itself is a cause for the clogging of arteries. Happy to be corrected if this wrong.
One of my grandmothers lived to 92 the other is going strong at almost 90 however my parents will not see that due to alcohol and cigarettes in excess. I also have a sibling that passed before 40 from an obesity related death. Lifestyle plays a huge roll in making it to advanced age even in genetics plays a roll in making it past 90.
statins...my experience has been negative over 25 years...true they lowered LDL....but my side effects have been many & debilitating...stop statins they went away...started they came back...I see their use...negotiated to get 5+ mg daily pravachol .My lipids look very good on the usual panels. ..I hope the dose helps with ApoB. I think my 1 to 2 hrs per day exercise may help more & my junk food free diet can't hurt. NOTE: AN SNP genetic study said I have problems with ubiquinone metabolism
Recently published "The Relationship Between Major Food Sources of Fructose and Cardiovascular Outcomes: A Systematic Review and Dose-Response Meta-Analysis of Prospective Studies". Basically shows that fructose in sugar sweetened beverages harmful, but not from fruit in terms of CVD.
Hi Dr. Brad, I've been a big fan for a long time. This is the second video however where you advocate for statins while never mentioning niacin (full flush.) I'd be happy to share my results post niacin treatment over a period of 6 to 9 months. The results were nothing short of miraculous. My A1C is under four and my total cholesterol came down from 298 to 186. Of course my triglycerides are fantastic and HDL went up while LDL went down. I'm looking forward to your reply. Keep up the good work!
I would love to hear more from someone who has experienced it. In the past I heard of people dosing up to the point of flush, but lately I hear people claiming that getting flushed is the objective. Can I ask, where did your A1c start out. BTW, this would be a good topic on Brad's Patreon page. I think he has earned it. I will sign up this weekend.
niacin > statins any day of the week. Need to keep in mind of methlyation though, supplement TMG (through plenty of green veggies), or vitamin B-methyl groups.
Same with finasteride. There's a huge hair loss community online where they all talk about the side effects of fin, because it's a great DHT blocker, which is one of the reasons why men lose their hair. And the bigger problem is low testosterone, which can impair sleep, sex life, ED, energy, etc. Ofc, not everyone will have these side effects, but they are not statistically insignificant. Hormones are not something I'd play with.
If you'd still like to continue with hormone therapy and have concerns about sexual function, I'd recommend taking low-dose T gel/cream on the affected area. You can get it online (from roundabout sources) or directly from a compounding pharmacy with a prescription from your doctor.
When my mother was on statins she hurt her leg and it didn't heal. It only healed after she got off the statins. Coincedence maybe? But I think there's definitely a relationship there.
No coincidence. It was at the very least a side effect and at worst a direct effect. Like 90% of pharmaceuticals statins are extremely harmful! They are marketing drugs to younger people and that practice itself allows pharma to hide the detrimental effects of these drugs since the young tend to have high resilience and power in metabolizing these drugs thus delaying the onset of harm. Bradfield gets Statins so wrong it's hard to know where to even start. What goes unnoticed is how lifespan has been systematically declining for years. And modern medicine has done almost nothing to increase it. A short review of history recent and ancient will show that humans of old greatly outlived modern 21st century man. Modern medicine is big business. If the last 2yrs hasn't convinced ppl of this then they are literally incorrigible and hopeless.
Thanks Dr. Stanfield for advocating statins and other good meds. I am on 80mg Atorvastatin and 2mg of Perindopril. I also take berberine as a PSCK9 inhibitor all which lowered my LDL-C from 3 mmol/l to less than 0.97 mmol/l. BP is below 120/80. I'm also experimenting with telemorase and NRF2 activators for maximizing longevity. Keep up the good science!
Japanese scientists wrote 2015 article title: Statins stimulate atherosclerosis and heart failure. In contrast to the current belief that cholesterol reduction with statins decreases atherosclerosis, we present a perspective that statins may be causative in coronary artery calcification and can function as mitochondrial toxins that impair muscle function in the heart and blood vessels through the depletion of coenzyme Q10 and 'heme A', and thereby ATP generation. Statins inhibit the synthesis of vitamin K2, the cofactor for matrix Gla-protein activation, which in turn protects arteries from calcification. Statins inhibit the biosynthesis of selenium containing proteins, one of which is glutathione peroxidase serving to suppress peroxidative stress.
@@beepbeepnj2658 What is the source? Is it peer reviewed? Has it been replicated? I’m friends with a couple cardiologists and the “anti-statin” sentiment baffles them - so many studies supporting their benefits. People like to say “it’s because it’s a huge money maker for big pharma” - kind of funny because the most used statins are all available as cheap generics…
@@drumsnmore2545 I simply presented an article and you decide, and no, it was not funded but any food, Pharma or religious group. Why don't you tell the Japanese scientists who wrote the study that they are wrong and misleading their own people even though they are already living in the country with the highest life expectancy, the highest egg consumption rate, the highest IQ and one of the lowest cancer and obesity rates in the world. I would think they are talking about people who take the large dose not the tiny dose.
1.6g/kg bodyweight maybe for an athlete or fairly active individual engaging in resistance training. Not an average person who is just looking to increase their lifespan, the recommendation is 0.75-0.8g/kg bodyweight.
Great presentation as always. One commonly overlooked life extension subject is joint preservation. As someone who is hitting 66 soon, I've seen so many people my age suddenly accelerate the aging processes because their joints have begun to fail, e.g., arthritis, etc. The loss of mobility causes a cascade of age-related problems. There are some exciting new therapies on the horizon, like stem cell injections, but I'm not sure that supplements will help.
I think you preserve them best by using them...but low impact. My joints were breaking down due to something stupid I did, blocking collagen formation (megadosing niacinamide). I tried a bunch of things for joints that did not work. What worked was Betaine(TMG) and Glycine. Everything is back. At least my knees, ankles, hips and shoulders. I have a thumb I keep jamming and tennis elbow I keep aggravating, both on my non-dominate arm. And for decades I had a lot of clicking and crunching in my knees, from when I was in high school and did leg extensions with 260 lb regularly. That appears to have also gone away, and they move smoothly now. I take many supplements, so some others may have had a role as well, it is hard to say, but the Betaine(TMG) and Glycine were definitely a big part of the repair, as those other supplements did not do much until Betaine and Glycine were added. The repair was not overnight, full recovery was nearly a year. But 6 months was enough to get to 70% or so. I think we don't get enough glycine because we eat meat but not other parts of an animal. People used to eat bone broth which has a lot of glycine, but that is not very popular anymore. Gelatin is probably fine too, but I think it is the glycine in it that is the real joint benefit. Before bed, I mix the Betaine and Glycine into a glass of milk and add a little stevia and an ounce of water to thin it a bit, as the Betaine and Glycine thicken it a little. I use 12g of glycine and 5g of Betaine. I get them as powders, of course. I don't know if that is overkill, it is just what I have settled into. I have very large joints.
@@ChessMasterNate I think that you are on the right track. Maybe a little bit more oily fish and meat.I am 75 and have no joint issues, arthritis, auto immune issues. I am a carivore in that we have meat 4 days a week, fish 2 days a week and a fasting day on Sunday. It works like magic.
Regarding nuts, seeds, grains, beans and fruit. I recently came to realize that each is equivalent to an “egg.” We’ve heard forever how eggs are the perfect food. These are the plant kingdoms equivalent. Look at the nutritional profile and they are packed with vitamins and minerals, fats and protein. Everything to promote life.
Eggs are great. I wouldn't advise using them to replace nuts, seeds, beans, and fruit though. For most people, all of those types of foods should be eaten
@@DrBradStanfield Eggs have extremely high cholesterol and egg consumption is linked in numerous studies with early death and various diseases such as heart disease and stroke. We have ZERO need for dietary cholesterol and the science shows us that we should at least limit total consumption to no more than 300mg per day. A single egg contains at least half that. It's incredibly irresponsible for you to be misleading people by promoting them as a health food., when nothing could be further from the truth.
Don't believe the BS from the Egg industry. Follow the science instead. Eggs are extremely unhealthy and this has been shown in the best studies ever carried out. They have no fiber and are packed with harmful cholesterol. Sadly, Dr Stansfield is no different from most in medical industry who promote sickening foods like eggs and then Pharmaceuticals to suppress the symptoms of the diseases they cause. Your instinct is right: seeds, whole grains, beans, veg, nuts and fruit are the way to go.
Thanks again for another great video. Could you please do a video on salt? After much research, it appears low salt is actually very bad for you, particularly as we age.
@@DrBradStanfield what do u feel about salt to cut to chase? I think it helps in some cases a lot and others horrible according to diet. Great video as usual.
Statins? JAMA just published this meta analysis in March 2022: "The relative risk reduction for statins compared with those who did not was 9% for deaths, 29% for heart attacks & 14% for strokes. Yet the absolute risk reduction of dying, having a heart attack or stroke was 0.8%, 1.3% and 0.4% respectively" i.e. For every 125 people taking a statin, 1 life is saved
Japanese scientists wrote 2015 article title: Statins stimulate atherosclerosis and heart failure. In contrast to the current belief that cholesterol reduction with statins decreases atherosclerosis, we present a perspective that statins may be causative in coronary artery calcification and can function as mitochondrial toxins that impair muscle function in the heart and blood vessels through the depletion of coenzyme Q10 and 'heme A', and thereby ATP generation.

Statins inhibit the biosynthesis of selenium containing proteins, one of which is glutathione peroxidase serving to suppress peroxidative stress.
Good to see somebody properly explain the role of lipoproteins. Genetics play a huge role in how efficiently people transport cholesterol and this is often skimmed over when diet is considered.
I'm also extremely excited about 17-a-estradiol. I'm hopeful that it could partly close the male-female longevity gap and maybe be usable for some women who have had breast cancer. But I need to dig into the studies on estrogen receptors in breast tissue and cancer.
It's not only what you eat but when you eat. Establishing an eating window has changed my health dramatically for the better. My glucose, blood pressure and other measures are now fantastic and I am over 50 yrs old. No meds at all. Weight management is effortless. I'm thin now, but I used to weigh 70 pounds more before the eating window. I do not eat after 7 pm, ever. I never eat before 9 am, ever. Going on my 6th year. Many people have shorter eating windows and I am going to do the same. If you read this and think you can't do it, I'm sorry to tell you that is most likely a fear response that has zero real basis. I get knee-jerk fear reactions very regularly when introducing this concept to others. It's tragic. Don't be that person.
I’m not against fasting but most of the benefits you listed came from a calorie defecit which makes sense since if your only eating for a short period a time a day then you’re bound to eat less
Basically l agree with you re eating less more often....fasting is unreal. Talk to the Hunzas of Northern Pakistan....these people have a 120yr lifespan mostly through eating less more often i.e. fasting. It's changed my life for the better
Lipoproteins are like cars on a road, and there are currently two popular theories about how cars end up in accident (i.e. cardiovascular disease): A. All cars have the potential to cause accident; just limit the number of cars on the road and we decrease the chance of accident, even at the expense of cells not getting enough cholesterol from the liver. B. It is the poorly maintained cars and bad road conditions that cause accident. We can have many cars on the road and still be accident-free if we keep the cars and the road in top condition. I think theory B makes a lot more sense over the long term.
I am in my 40s and I have high hopes of making it to 120. I think big things will be arriving in the 2030s as far as gene therapies for life extension.
Even if there are amazing breakthroughs in this area, it will most likely be prohibitively expensive or exclusive, available only for the rich or famous at least for the first few decades. So if u are an average joe like almost all of us then maybe next life.
4:52 you highlighted a text from some research but that text is just an assertion. Where is the data to backup your claim that it's not the oxidized LDL and that all LDL is the problem?
Hello Dr. I have been in search for a good Multivitamin. I am 65 female , is your Micro Vitimin also beneficial for seniors . I see there are now separate vitamins for seniors that is wy I ask.
Dear Dr Brad You have never mentioned anything that could prevent Parkinson’s. Some studies suggests green-tea due to it’s contain of Epigallocatechin Gallate. Others caffeine and some mention NAC. But please due a topic on this. Stay healty
Dr Peter Attia has a very good interview about neurodegenerative diseases including Parkinson's with Kellyann Niotis MD on his The Drive Podcast...... you may want to check out.
Although this channel is mainly focused on nutrition/supplements/health span can we expect some episodes on stress reduction, relaxation,emotions,exercises,HIIT. These topic play a huge role in heath besides nutrition. Everyone avoid to speak about mental health but that matters the most nowadays.
your so right, I eat a perfect keto diet,sleep 8 hours each night,exercise 4 days a week,take all the right supplements!! but , job Stress is what is killing me:)
@@keithrichard391 Stress is killing everyone nowadays but everyone is ashamed to speak about that to be honest. You are stress can kill you even if have perfect diet,supplement,sleep, exercise.
@World on Keto Peace is all that matter... everyone follows some diet,exercise etc just to have peace and calm mind.But as the other person said stress is what is killing me
Is this channel mainly focused on Nutrition? I've seen Dr. Stanfield talk a lot about these topics over past 2 years or so. This channel is actually where I first learned what HIIT even was. He has a video talking about research of HIIT vs sustained forms of exercise a number of months back. I hear him talk about importance of diet in general, Stress reduction, Sleep quality, etc. pretty often. Do you watch all of Dr. Stanfield's videos? This channel is about longevity research, and ways to incorporate new findings into daily lives in an effort to increase longevity. Longevity research seems to focus on testing individual drugs and compounds / supplements much more so than nutrition.
Regarding salt, is the form of salt the real issue? "There is accruing evidence that chloride may have a role in blood pressure regulation which may perhaps be even more important than that of Na+". Therefore, a form of salt called salt acetate might be a beneficial substitute?
Hang on there with the prostrate screening. Currently prostrate screening is far from perfect and can give false readings as well as being very invasive. Its not a no no of course but is a rather more complicated than Mr Stanfield may be suggesting.
So I'm pretty close to us unhealthy as you can get. 14 years ago I was running biking swimming but had several surgical procedures from injuries in Iraq. Over the last 14 years I'd given up, gained 169 pounds ect. I finally stopped taking all the VA medications except testosterone and my whole outlook is 100% better. That's why I've subscribed to your channel and others. Love what you do. GLP1 could you provide a reputable link. I dont trust anything on Amazon. I'd like to ad it to my small supplement list I do take, like Niacin, vit D ect. Thank you
Thank you Brad for another insightful video! I'm pleased to hear you recommend 130 and under for blood pressure. I'm hoping I can get it lower but tend to average at around that lately and I thought I might have high bp at that score.
Thank you so much for your very instructive and at the same time very clear videos, fantastic job! Would you make videos on Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s, we would be most grateful
Fructose isn't good for you. It's hard on your liver, the need for fiber isn't real, most people will benefit from a certain amount of fiber in the diet however it's just not necessary. Healthy sources of glucose are what we need to focus on.
but in case of ovarian and prostate cancer we really dont have good screening options... also no great treatment options and dont get me started on prevention options excpet the removal of the whole uterus..
you seem to be disregarding longevity researchers such as luigi fontana and valter longo, which recommand lower protein intake until 65 years old, like 0.8g / kg lean body mass. you're recommanding double that ammount. even in the context of exercising, unless you're a bodybuilder, you can't support that recommandation.
How to disagree with lowering salt. Salt has been made to be the bad guy but anytime people say it’s bad for you because they are looking at studies that show a high sodium diet… but fail to understand it’s a high sodium diet associated with processed foods. If you eat whole foods you are going to struggle badly getting your daily salt intake that your body needs.
Wouldn't the high intake of protein that you recommend stimulate mtor and be counterproductive to increasing one's lifespan? 1.6 grams per kilo is what an athlete needs.
If you think lifestyle and diet will carry you to age 105. I got bad news for you. More realistic is between 90-95 years, but in relatively good health. Assuming average longevity genes. Still, alot can go wrong if you're unlucky.

I take 40 mg of telsamartin daily as I am on testosterone. I don't know why everyone isnt on an ARB even a low dose of a mild one. ARBs have so much health benefits.
Interesting video especially the medicines 😳The focus on nutrition when it comes to longevity however is getting a little boring as this is what everyone is harping on about when we know that our diet is just part of what we need to consider, when we consider our health. Opinions on diet really divide ppl and though the evidence as to what is a healthy diet is easily attained from reliable sources many ppl still prefer to listen to pseudo-science, but because the focus is overly directed toward diet it also causes a not being able to see the forest for the trees situation. I think if we want to live long we need to consider moving into the countryside as pollution causes millions of premature deaths, we can't avoid ingesting plastic anymore and we don't really know yet what this will do to our bodies, we need to consider leaving our job if it's particularly stressful, financial problems are a stress factor as well (stress being a health culprit if it causes too much exposure to cortisol) we need to make friends and be part of a community in a world where even neighbours are strangers and we need to find the time to unwind as well as the time to do fitness 🤯... So there's a lot of different things to consider and it may feel like our diet is the only thing we can control so perhaps thats why we focus so much on it.. But the other factors can be controlled too. I would like to see ppl get more riled up about pollution, about companies that get away with selling non recycled plastic products rather than purchasing from them. I'd like to see ppl come together and to be more community focused, I'd like for new infrastructures that are created to take community and fitness into consideration when designing schools, roads, parks etc. There needs to be a better work/life balance for most ppl as well, beause a healthy diet alone isn't going to make ppl happy and unhappy ppl aren't healthy. Maybe if ppl were more aware that it's not just about what you eat they'd care more!
I like your channel but on this video please correct your statement at the 1:26 mark where you say "a lot of salt intake is associated with lowering blood pressure"
Well anyone advocating Finasteride and Statins just lost my support. My husband has suffered both of those drugs and all the side effects. We will stick to the Pygeum and other natural products. Nattokinase and Hawthorn for heart and BP. Natto & Citrus Bergamot for Cholesterol.
Help! I recently had scan showing one kidney not draining. They put painful probes in front and back and didn't see any tumor or anything so they said they assume the condition is just congenital and nothing they can do. Does that sound right?
Doc, are you sure about Finasteride? What I read from anectodal reviews, guys don't feel great on it. This is because of the inhibition of the formation of DHT. It is my understanding that this is an intracrine hormone. This means the prostate regulates it itself. DHT levels are different throughout the body because of this. I also don't understand why DHT must be inhibited in older individuals when levels are much lower than in younger ones.
He’s right - the alopecia dosage has been found to lower prostate cancer risk. But the side effects (primarily sexual) seem to be understated. I asked my personal physician about it and he said he wouldn’t recommend it at this time
I was diagnosed with high PSA at 37 and put on finesteride. I took it until age 55. It did shrink my prostate which was only slightly enlarged. But, after years on it, i suffered from increasing sexual and endocrine dysfunction. I quit finesteride about 5 years ago, but it was too late. Things haven't improved sexually, but my T has improved a little. I'd stay away from it.
You didn't mention fasting. Is that no longer regarded as particularly beneficial if you are of normal weight? Also, the drugs you mention cannot be obtained without a prescription, and doctors won't prescribe them simply as preventatives.
Its great how you promote everything that sick patients are not available to do. I have cfs and neuropathy I can barely sleep 4-5 hours with maximimum sleep hygiene and all that goes with it coz i wake up i pains. I also have cfs that doesn't allow me minimal extertions or i end up severely sick for days. Those tips cant help those who need help only the healthy ppl who actually don't care about them. So much of understanding sick ppl. You could advise wheelchairs to take a walk would be the same.
I'm not a doctor but as 90%+ medical conditions stems from inflammation I would check great inflammatory natural products like astaxanthin, especially from valasta because it has a special patent which makes it more bioavailable. I wish you the best.
"Do you have a healthy lifestyle but are still overweight?" > 28 Year old Me who's been trying for years to get over 120 lbs and absolutely just physically cannot do so.

It is just crazy that Doctors do not get nutrition training in Medical schools. Every doctor visit should include some nutrition discussion. The majority of the population is over weight or obese leading to high blood pressure, heart disease and cancer. Schools and hospital cafeterias should be leading the way to good health by setting the example of what is a healthy meal and teaching people what to eat and why.. Every person in the hospital for heart disease should have a nutrition class before being checked out from the hospital with follow up education and training in nutrition. Medicare and Medicaid should require patient nutrition education as part of their standard of care. Nutrition information should be run on the hospital TV channel.
I have this problem with vitamins, pretty much almost all vitamin supplements that I have have MEGA DOSES .. especially for water soluble vitamins. So I take several B vitamins each as a separate pill and the doses are huge, that's why I am so unsure if I should keep taking them or not. I have a the second worst MTHFR mutation, so I take active Folate, B6, Riboflavin and metyl-B12. Maybe it's a mistake. I don't know. But i have noticed reduction of my acne when I started to have a salad every day (new habbit).
Have you looked into how much the body can absorb of what you call a "mega dose"? Its only a fraction in many cases. Besides: Taking supplemental vitamins is only useful if blood levels are checked and supplementation adapted accordingly.
@@htp1146 For some reason the B vitamin blood tests were on the pricey side last time I checked, not sure why. When it comes to absorption, I am not sure if I have already looked this up or not, because it's actually quite a while since I have started taking them. But I think the water soluble vitamins have roughly the same absorption qualities. However I am definitely considering getting a bloodwork done again and add the B-Vitamins, but the thing is that these water soluble vitamins are not stored in the body and you need to take them every day so the blood concentration may vastly differ depending on the time of the day when the bloodwork is done so I am not sure if having high serum values literally minutes after taking them is actually bad or not. The businesses that I go to usually do bloodworks early in the morning. But the B-vitamin supplements have commonly very high doses. I think I have been asking a doctor about that and they said to me that it's not a big deal because you piss off the extra stuff off, it's more about if you just wasting your money that way.
@@lookfeelbehealthy6320 i googled if my pea protein has lectins it gave me this "Pea Protein has almost zero lectins because the carbs have been removed from the peas and the peas have been baked.

Cancer checks for all ages? Im 19 and would like to know if I should also get them Edit: thanks for the replies. I didn’t just mean skin cancer. What about other types of cancer?
Probably not needed, if you don't have cancer history in the family. You could consider maping your dna, and see if you are at risk for cancer or other hereditary diseases
That's all keto-people have, if you confront them... laughing emojis. For those actually interested in learnning about cholestrol, look into clinical lipidologist Thomas Dayspring
Not skin cancer at your age. Sunblock. Lol. I've been a sunblock fan since I got on retin-A at 13, especiallysince my grandma kept having skin cancers removed, so I don't do yearly skin checks because I don't have any discoloration and haven't had a new or changing mole in decades, and I'm over 40. But he is from Australia or NZ (I stink at telling the accents apart, but AZ, I think), and skin cancer is even more rife there because of the sun lover culture.
Soooooooo..... if your diet recommendations do not yield the desired BP, cholesterol and weight target numbers..... shouldn't these recommendations be reconsidered? And with all the drugs recommended, the assumption is that they have zero side effects right? Anyone still on board with this douch?
Ezetimibe gave me awful soreness and it was no psychosomatic effect. I try for delayed onset muscle soreness as much as I can in the gym, so I welcome soreness. Couldn't make it 4 days on ezetimibe. I do however love nebivolol and telmisartan.
Thx Dr Brad for this another outstanding video. May I ask you what is a typical Apo B level in the case of a newborn baby ? Do you think dutasteride is as effective and as safe as Finasteride ?

You're missing the environmental aspect. There are meth and illegal drug labs everywhere now and neighbors smoking marijuana and cigarettes and having BBQ's every day and most of southern California lives within 10 miles of the busiest freeways in the world and are inhaling all that particulate and cancerous VOC pollution... the VOCs in ambient are are higher now that ever in known human history... people are living in cancer clusters due to out of control corporations and industry off-gassing super dangerous class 1 carcinogens. Air is the #1 most important factor in health, then diet... in that order. Even more than that, the majority of air quality experts have no idea that trace amounts of carcinogenic and toxic VOCs and particles have a huge effect. The majority of the air quality experts you can hire like CIH's primarily work for corporations and factories that use out of date and irresponsible OSHA and EPA risk limits that have no basis in trying to increase health, only avoiding lawsuits... so you can't actually find an expert who can advise you on air quality who knows anything except what they are paid to say by OSHA and big industry and big oil. VOC's and particle pollution are also potent neurotoxins. The qigong masters of old know and taught that if you want to live a longer life you cannot live in a city.
Hmm...you are the first person I've seen recommend finasteride for health promoting reasons.
Usually it's mentioned by people trying to fight back loosing their hair follicles. And I hear many talking about side effects from using finasteride in this group too. So, I wonder how it suddenly became a health promoting drug...care to elaborate Dr. Brad? 😉
I would like to know your thoughts on hgh peptide therapy
I'd like to see a conversation between you and Paul Saladino. I think it would be enlightening.
I have a question. I've heard that 1.6g of protein per kilogram of body weight is god from multiple sources. The question: Is that 1.6g/kg BW/day in reference to the weight of the serving of the protein source or is it the weight of the actual amount of pure protein within the protein source - ie am I calculating the weight of the protein on the plate or the amount of protein on the nutrition table that is within the protein source? For example - a 100g serving of salmon has an avg of 22g of protein. If I ate 200g of salmon does that mean I have eaten 200g or 44g of protein according to this recommendation of 1.6g/kg BW/day? Thank you.
Hi, very curious to see what you eat in a day just to get an idea of how you complete your macros. A video on that would be helpful.

Gràcies!
Your best video to date. Well structured, well researched, not too fast or slow
Big thanks to You Brad Stanfield and Your team!!!
Thanks!
WOW
This video has the most value per word of any video I have seen.
Thank you Dr. Stanfield for laying it on the line succinctly.
There are so many wandering through the TH-cam wilderness looking for this video that this calls for max distribution.
Dr. Stanfield, regarding statins and dementia: the study you cite is a few years old, and it appears to review statins as a whole - which seems like a faulty methodology. Recent studies suggest that lipophilic statins in particular are associated with declines in cognitive performance. Two very interesting studies are "Lipophilic Statins in Subjects with Early Mild Cognitive Impairment" (Journal of Nuclear Medicine, 2021) and "The role of statins in both cognitive impairment and protection against dementia" (Translational Neurodegeneration, 2018).
Rosuvastatin is hydrophilic, not lipophilic
I am not sure hydrophilic statin, but I stop taking rusovastatin and ezetimibe, replace them with niacine 1000 mg, the results are I could regain my short term memory (early sign of dementia?), chronic muscles pain and control my cholesterol.
Any statin should be prescribed much like antibiotics at best. Given to lower cholesterol for a short period of time so a lifestyle change can take hold. Other than that they should be outlawed.
@@saltrock9642 out of touch with reality I’m afraid. CVD patients have LDL targets of 55 and only a tiny fraction of them are ready to change their diet even in the slightest. Statins are essential for these people.
Thanks for the links. I'd suggest looking at this 2021 meta-analysis published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology:
"Similar risks were observed for lipophilic and hydrophilic statins for both dementia and AD, while high-potency statins showed a 20% reduction of dementia risk... These results confirm the absence of a neurocognitive risk associated with statin treatment and suggest a potential favourable role of statins"
academic.oup.com/eurjpc/article/29/5/804/6454065
This study is higher up on the evidence pyramid, given that it's a recent meta-analysis published in a highly respected journal
I believe there are studies that show people with incredibly high ldl and have great cardiovascular health, and it can't be said that ldl in itself is a cause for the clogging of arteries.
Happy to be corrected if this wrong.
Love to see them answer why it only clogs the arteries and not veins.

Cheers to that!
How? Do you exercise? Do you eat a plant based diet?
One of my grandmothers lived to 92 the other is going strong at almost 90 however my parents will not see that due to alcohol and cigarettes in excess. I also have a sibling that passed before 40 from an obesity related death. Lifestyle plays a huge roll in making it to advanced age even in genetics plays a roll in making it past 90.

Recently published "The Relationship Between Major Food Sources of Fructose and Cardiovascular Outcomes: A Systematic Review and Dose-Response Meta-Analysis of Prospective Studies". Basically shows that fructose in sugar sweetened beverages harmful, but not from fruit in terms of CVD.
But only in natural fruits. Most were cross bred to have high sugar and low fibre over the centuries. Nothing natural about a modern banana or grape.
@@wocket42 Presumably they used "modern" fruit in this study and no harmful effects were found so suggests not a concern
Hi Dr. Brad, I've been a big fan for a long time. This is the second video however where you advocate for statins while never mentioning niacin (full flush.) I'd be happy to share my results post niacin treatment over a period of 6 to 9 months. The results were nothing short of miraculous. My A1C is under four and my total cholesterol came down from 298 to 186. Of course my triglycerides are fantastic and HDL went up while LDL went down. I'm looking forward to your reply. Keep up the good work!
I would love to hear more from someone who has experienced it. In the past I heard of people dosing up to the point of flush, but lately I hear people claiming that getting flushed is the objective. Can I ask, where did your A1c start out. BTW, this would be a good topic on Brad's Patreon page. I think he has earned it. I will sign up this weekend.
niacin > statins any day of the week. Need to keep in mind of methlyation though, supplement TMG (through plenty of green veggies), or vitamin B-methyl groups.
What are you HDL and TG numbers now?
Could I infer that NMN may have the same effect?

I stopped using 17-a-Estradiol when my nuts started shriveling. Now they are the size of hazelnuts (in early spring).
Same with finasteride. There's a huge hair loss community online where they all talk about the side effects of fin, because it's a great DHT blocker, which is one of the reasons why men lose their hair. And the bigger problem is low testosterone, which can impair sleep, sex life, ED, energy, etc.
Ofc, not everyone will have these side effects, but they are not statistically insignificant. Hormones are not something I'd play with.
If you'd still like to continue with hormone therapy and have concerns about sexual function, I'd recommend taking low-dose T gel/cream on the affected area. You can get it online (from roundabout sources) or directly from a compounding pharmacy with a prescription from your doctor.
I want doughnuts glazed with pink sugar and candy sprinkles and an eggnog/vanilla cream filling!
When my mother was on statins she hurt her leg and it didn't heal. It only healed after she got off the statins. Coincedence maybe? But I think there's definitely a relationship there.
No coincidence. It was at the very least a side effect and at worst a direct effect. Like 90% of pharmaceuticals statins are extremely harmful! They are marketing drugs to younger people and that practice itself allows pharma to hide the detrimental effects of these drugs since the young tend to have high resilience and power in metabolizing these drugs thus delaying the onset of harm.
Bradfield gets Statins so wrong it's hard to know where to even start.
What goes unnoticed is how lifespan has been systematically declining for years. And modern medicine has done almost nothing to increase it. A short review of history recent and ancient will show that humans of old greatly outlived modern 21st century man.
Modern medicine is big business. If the last 2yrs hasn't convinced ppl of this then they are literally incorrigible and hopeless.
Thanks Dr. Stanfield for advocating statins and other good meds. I am on 80mg Atorvastatin and 2mg of Perindopril. I also take berberine as a PSCK9 inhibitor all which lowered my LDL-C from 3 mmol/l to less than 0.97 mmol/l. BP is below 120/80. I'm also experimenting with telemorase and NRF2 activators for maximizing longevity. Keep up the good science!
Be careful - I’m taking Atorvastatin as well but found several studies warning against combining it with Berberine
Japanese scientists wrote 2015 article title: Statins stimulate atherosclerosis and heart failure.
In contrast to the current belief that cholesterol reduction with statins decreases atherosclerosis, we present a perspective that statins may be causative in coronary artery calcification and can function as mitochondrial toxins that impair muscle function in the heart and blood vessels through the depletion of coenzyme Q10 and 'heme A', and thereby ATP generation. Statins inhibit the synthesis of vitamin K2, the cofactor for matrix Gla-protein activation, which in turn protects arteries from calcification. Statins inhibit the biosynthesis of selenium containing proteins, one of which is glutathione peroxidase serving to suppress peroxidative stress.
@@beepbeepnj2658 What is the source? Is it peer reviewed? Has it been replicated? I’m friends with a couple cardiologists and the “anti-statin” sentiment baffles them - so many studies supporting their benefits. People like to say “it’s because it’s a huge money maker for big pharma” - kind of funny because the most used statins are all available as cheap generics…
@@drumsnmore2545 Are you referring to berberine inhibiting CYP3A4 and hERG channel or something else?
@@drumsnmore2545 I simply presented an article and you decide, and no, it was not funded but any food, Pharma or religious group. Why don't you tell the Japanese scientists who wrote the study that they are wrong and misleading their own people even though they are already living in the country with the highest life expectancy, the highest egg consumption rate, the highest IQ and one of the lowest cancer and obesity rates in the world. I would think they are talking about people who take the large dose not the tiny dose.
1.6g/kg bodyweight maybe for an athlete or fairly active individual engaging in resistance training. Not an average person who is just looking to increase their lifespan, the recommendation is 0.75-0.8g/kg bodyweight.
Great presentation as always. One commonly overlooked life extension subject is joint preservation. As someone who is hitting 66 soon, I've seen so many people my age suddenly accelerate the aging processes because their joints have begun to fail, e.g., arthritis, etc. The loss of mobility causes a cascade of age-related problems. There are some exciting new therapies on the horizon, like stem cell injections, but I'm not sure that supplements will help.
I think you preserve them best by using them...but low impact. My joints were breaking down due to something stupid I did, blocking collagen formation (megadosing niacinamide). I tried a bunch of things for joints that did not work. What worked was Betaine(TMG) and Glycine. Everything is back. At least my knees, ankles, hips and shoulders. I have a thumb I keep jamming and tennis elbow I keep aggravating, both on my non-dominate arm. And for decades I had a lot of clicking and crunching in my knees, from when I was in high school and did leg extensions with 260 lb regularly. That appears to have also gone away, and they move smoothly now. I take many supplements, so some others may have had a role as well, it is hard to say, but the Betaine(TMG) and Glycine were definitely a big part of the repair, as those other supplements did not do much until Betaine and Glycine were added. The repair was not overnight, full recovery was nearly a year. But 6 months was enough to get to 70% or so.
I think we don't get enough glycine because we eat meat but not other parts of an animal. People used to eat bone broth which has a lot of glycine, but that is not very popular anymore. Gelatin is probably fine too, but I think it is the glycine in it that is the real joint benefit.
Before bed, I mix the Betaine and Glycine into a glass of milk and add a little stevia and an ounce of water to thin it a bit, as the Betaine and Glycine thicken it a little. I use 12g of glycine and 5g of Betaine. I get them as powders, of course. I don't know if that is overkill, it is just what I have settled into. I have very large joints.
@@ChessMasterNate I think that you are on the right track. Maybe a little bit more oily fish and meat.I am 75 and have no joint issues, arthritis, auto immune issues. I am a carivore in that we have meat 4 days a week, fish 2 days a week and a fasting day on Sunday. It works like magic.

Regarding nuts, seeds, grains, beans and fruit. I recently came to realize that each is equivalent to an “egg.” We’ve heard forever how eggs are the perfect food. These are the plant kingdoms equivalent. Look at the nutritional profile and they are packed with vitamins and minerals, fats and protein. Everything to promote life.
Eggs are great. I wouldn't advise using them to replace nuts, seeds, beans, and fruit though. For most people, all of those types of foods should be eaten
@@haidersyed6554 You can cook beans to inactivate lectin.
@@DrBradStanfield Eggs have extremely high cholesterol and egg consumption is linked in numerous studies with early death and various diseases such as heart disease and stroke. We have ZERO need for dietary cholesterol and the science shows us that we should at least limit total consumption to no more than 300mg per day. A single egg contains at least half that. It's incredibly irresponsible for you to be misleading people by promoting them as a health food., when nothing could be further from the truth.
Don't believe the BS from the Egg industry. Follow the science instead. Eggs are extremely unhealthy and this has been shown in the best studies ever carried out. They have no fiber and are packed with harmful cholesterol. Sadly, Dr Stansfield is no different from most in medical industry who promote sickening foods like eggs and then Pharmaceuticals to suppress the symptoms of the diseases they cause. Your instinct is right: seeds, whole grains, beans, veg, nuts and fruit are the way to go.
@@haidersyed6554 it's the dose that makes the poison.
Thanks again for another great video. Could you please do a video on salt? After much research, it appears low salt is actually very bad for you, particularly as we age.
Sure, can do
@@DrBradStanfield what do u feel about salt to cut to chase? I think it helps in some cases a lot and others horrible according to diet. Great video as usual.
Statins?
JAMA just published this meta analysis in March 2022:
"The relative risk reduction for statins compared with those who did not was 9% for deaths, 29% for heart attacks & 14% for strokes. Yet the absolute risk reduction of dying, having a heart attack or stroke was 0.8%, 1.3% and 0.4% respectively"
i.e. For every 125 people taking a statin, 1 life is saved
Japanese scientists wrote 2015 article title: Statins stimulate atherosclerosis and heart failure.
In contrast to the current belief that cholesterol reduction with statins decreases atherosclerosis, we present a perspective that statins may be causative in coronary artery calcification and can function as mitochondrial toxins that impair muscle function in the heart and blood vessels through the depletion of coenzyme Q10 and 'heme A', and thereby ATP generation.

GLP-1 is a game changer for one's wallet as well! It'll get thin much faster than its owner.
Good to see somebody properly explain the role of lipoproteins. Genetics play a huge role in how efficiently people transport cholesterol and this is often skimmed over when diet is considered.
I'm also extremely excited about 17-a-estradiol. I'm hopeful that it could partly close the male-female longevity gap and maybe be usable for some women who have had breast cancer. But I need to dig into the studies on estrogen receptors in breast tissue and cancer.

Great, great summary. I can send this forward to friends.
It's not only what you eat but when you eat. Establishing an eating window has changed my health dramatically for the better. My glucose, blood pressure and other measures are now fantastic and I am over 50 yrs old. No meds at all. Weight management is effortless. I'm thin now, but I used to weigh 70 pounds more before the eating window. I do not eat after 7 pm, ever. I never eat before 9 am, ever. Going on my 6th year. Many people have shorter eating windows and I am going to do the same. If you read this and think you can't do it, I'm sorry to tell you that is most likely a fear response that has zero real basis. I get knee-jerk fear reactions very regularly when introducing this concept to others. It's tragic. Don't be that person.
I’m not against fasting but most of the benefits you listed came from a calorie defecit which makes sense since if your only eating for a short period a time a day then you’re bound to eat less
The first sentence is said by dr sinclair
stoked you've found a strategy that works for you, kudos
Basically l agree with you re eating less more often....fasting is unreal. Talk to the Hunzas of Northern Pakistan....these people have a 120yr lifespan mostly through eating less more often i.e. fasting. It's changed my life for the better
Brad. Did you ever hear back from DNA regarding the type of collagen in their supplement?
yes, there's is low-molecular weight
Lipoproteins are like cars on a road, and there are currently two popular theories about how cars end up in accident (i.e. cardiovascular disease):
A. All cars have the potential to cause accident; just limit the number of cars on the road and we decrease the chance of accident, even at the expense of cells not getting enough cholesterol from the liver.
B. It is the poorly maintained cars and bad road conditions that cause accident. We can have many cars on the road and still be accident-free if we keep the cars and the road in top condition.
I think theory B makes a lot more sense over the long term.
This is of incredibly high value, thank you doctor!
I am in my 40s and I have high hopes of making it to 120. I think big things will be arriving in the 2030s as far as gene therapies for life extension.

Dr Peter Attia has a very good interview about neurodegenerative diseases including Parkinson's with Kellyann Niotis MD on his The Drive Podcast...... you may want to check out.
You know your stuff!!!
Although this channel is mainly focused on nutrition/supplements/health span can we expect some episodes on stress reduction, relaxation,emotions,exercises,HIIT.
These topic play a huge role in heath besides nutrition.
Everyone avoid to speak about mental health but that matters the most nowadays.
your so right, I eat a perfect keto diet,sleep 8 hours each night,exercise 4 days a week,take all the right supplements!! but , job Stress is what is killing me:)
@@keithrichard391 Stress is killing everyone nowadays but everyone is ashamed to speak about that to be honest.
You are stress can kill you even if have perfect diet,supplement,sleep, exercise.
yes, this will be more of a focus for the channel in 2023. Thanks for your feedback
@World on Keto Peace is all that matter... everyone follows some diet,exercise etc just to have peace and calm mind.But as the other person said stress is what is killing me
Is this channel mainly focused on Nutrition? I've seen Dr. Stanfield talk a lot about these topics over past 2 years or so. This channel is actually where I first learned what HIIT even was. He has a video talking about research of HIIT vs sustained forms of exercise a number of months back. I hear him talk about importance of diet in general, Stress reduction, Sleep quality, etc. pretty often. Do you watch all of Dr. Stanfield's videos?
This channel is about longevity research, and ways to incorporate new findings into daily lives in an effort to increase longevity. Longevity research seems to focus on testing individual drugs and compounds / supplements much more so than nutrition.
1.6 g per kg of bodyweight is an awful lot for someone not regularly damaging and repairing muscle as in lifting heavy things.
Regarding salt, is the form of salt the real issue? "There is accruing evidence that chloride may have a role in blood pressure regulation which may perhaps be even more important than that of Na+". Therefore, a form of salt called salt acetate might be a beneficial substitute?
As always a great video and very well explained
Hang on there with the prostrate screening. Currently prostrate screening is far from perfect and can give false readings as well as being very invasive. Its not a no no of course but is a rather more complicated than Mr Stanfield may be suggesting.
So I'm pretty close to us unhealthy as you can get. 14 years ago I was running biking swimming but had several surgical procedures from injuries in Iraq. Over the last 14 years I'd given up, gained 169 pounds ect. I finally stopped taking all the VA medications except testosterone and my whole outlook is 100% better. That's why I've subscribed to your channel and others. Love what you do.

Fructose isn't good for you. It's hard on your liver, the need for fiber isn't real, most people will benefit from a certain amount of fiber in the diet however it's just not necessary.

but in case of ovarian and prostate cancer we really dont have good screening options... also no great treatment options and dont get me started on prevention options excpet the removal of the whole uterus..
you seem to be disregarding longevity researchers such as luigi fontana and valter longo, which recommand lower protein intake until 65 years old, like 0.8g / kg lean body mass. you're recommanding double that ammount. even in the context of exercising, unless you're a bodybuilder, you can't support that recommandation.
How to disagree with lowering salt. Salt has been made to be the bad guy but anytime people say it’s bad for you because they are looking at studies that show a high sodium diet… but fail to understand it’s a high sodium diet associated with processed foods. If you eat whole foods you are going to struggle badly getting your daily salt intake that your body needs.
Wouldn't the high intake of protein that you recommend stimulate mtor and be counterproductive to increasing one's lifespan? 1.6 grams per kilo is what an athlete needs.

I take same amount and it's a wonderful drug. Lowered my BP at age 70 to 120/70 when 130/80 at age 20 was normal
Interesting video especially the medicines 😳The focus on nutrition when it comes to longevity however is getting a little boring as this is what everyone is harping on about when we know that our diet is just part of what we need to consider, when we consider our health. Opinions on diet really divide ppl and though the evidence as to what is a healthy diet is easily attained from reliable sources many ppl still prefer to listen to pseudo-science, but because the focus is overly directed toward diet it also causes a not being able to see the forest for the trees situation. I think if we want to live long we need to consider moving into the countryside as pollution causes millions of premature deaths, we can't avoid ingesting plastic anymore and we don't really know yet what this will do to our bodies, we need to consider leaving our job if it's particularly stressful, financial problems are a stress factor as well (stress being a health culprit if it causes too much exposure to cortisol) we need to make friends and be part of a community in a world where even neighbours are strangers and we need to find the time to unwind as well as the time to do fitness 🤯... So there's a lot of different things to consider and it may feel like our diet is the only thing we can control so perhaps thats why we focus so much on it.. But the other factors can be controlled too. I would like to see ppl get more riled up about pollution, about companies that get away with selling non recycled plastic products rather than purchasing from them. I'd like to see ppl come together and to be more community focused, I'd like for new infrastructures that are created to take community and fitness into consideration when designing schools, roads, parks etc. There needs to be a better work/life balance for most ppl as well, beause a healthy diet alone isn't going to make ppl happy and unhappy ppl aren't healthy. Maybe if ppl were more aware that it's not just about what you eat they'd care more!
Statin research seems pretty biased when you compare to overall outcomes

Doc, are you sure about Finasteride? What I read from anectodal reviews, guys don't feel great on it. This is because of the inhibition of the formation of DHT. It is my understanding that this is an intracrine hormone. This means the prostate regulates it itself. DHT levels are different throughout the body because of this. I also don't understand why DHT must be inhibited in older individuals when levels are much lower than in younger ones.
He’s right - the alopecia dosage has been found to lower prostate cancer risk. But the side effects (primarily sexual) seem to be understated. I asked my personal physician about it and he said he wouldn’t recommend it at this time
I was diagnosed with high PSA at 37 and put on finesteride. I took it until age 55. It did shrink my prostate which was only slightly enlarged. But, after years on it, i suffered from increasing sexual and endocrine dysfunction. I quit finesteride about 5 years ago, but it was too late. Things haven't improved sexually, but my T has improved a little. I'd stay away from it.
I would like to know your opinions on hgh peptide therapy
Can you do a video on tart cherries(concentrates, juice & extracts). I ve heard it reduces inflamation, cure gout and enhance sleep quality.
You didn't mention fasting. Is that no longer regarded as particularly beneficial if you are of normal weight?
Also, the drugs you mention cannot be obtained without a prescription, and doctors won't prescribe them simply as preventatives.
GREAT video.
Its great how you promote everything that sick patients are not available to do. I have cfs and neuropathy I can barely sleep 4-5 hours with maximimum sleep hygiene and all that goes with it coz i wake up i pains. I also have cfs that doesn't allow me minimal extertions or i end up severely sick for days. Those tips cant help those who need help only the healthy ppl who actually don't care about them. So much of understanding sick ppl. You could advise wheelchairs to take a walk would be the same.
I'm not a doctor but as 90%+ medical conditions stems from inflammation I would check great inflammatory natural products like astaxanthin, especially from valasta because it has a special patent which makes it more bioavailable. I wish you the best.
That’s a shame. It probably means you won’t live as long though
"Do you have a healthy lifestyle but are still overweight?"
> 28 Year old Me who's been trying for years to get over 120 lbs and absolutely just physically cannot do so.
Watch dr berg on youtube. Keto and intermittent fasting. Literally life changing. Celtic sea salt electrolyte powder will help support your body so you dont feel weak.
It is just crazy that Doctors do not get nutrition training in Medical schools.
Every doctor visit should include some nutrition discussion. The majority of the population is over weight or obese leading to high blood pressure, heart disease and cancer. Schools and hospital cafeterias should be leading the way to good health by setting the example of what is a healthy meal and teaching people what to eat and why.. Every person in the hospital for heart disease should have a nutrition class before being checked out from the hospital with follow up education and training in nutrition. Medicare and Medicaid should require patient nutrition education as part of their standard of care. Nutrition information should be run on the hospital TV channel.
Great video! 🙂
Please do follow up videos as you learn new things!
I have this problem with vitamins, pretty much almost all vitamin supplements that I have have MEGA DOSES .. especially for water soluble vitamins. So I take several B vitamins each as a separate pill and the doses are huge, that's why I am so unsure if I should keep taking them or not. I have a the second worst MTHFR mutation, so I take active Folate, B6, Riboflavin and metyl-B12. Maybe it's a mistake. I don't know. But i have noticed reduction of my acne when I started to have a salad every day (new habbit).
Have you looked into how much the body can absorb of what you call a "mega dose"? Its only a fraction in many cases.
Besides: Taking supplemental vitamins is only useful if blood levels are checked and supplementation adapted accordingly.
I Take mich more Thank recommend from b complex and i am Fine
@@htp1146 For some reason the B vitamin blood tests were on the pricey side last time I checked, not sure why.
When it comes to absorption, I am not sure if I have already looked this up or not, because it's actually quite a while since I have started taking them. But I think the water soluble vitamins have roughly the same absorption qualities.
However I am definitely considering getting a bloodwork done again and add the B-Vitamins, but the thing is that these water soluble vitamins are not stored in the body and you need to take them every day so the blood concentration may vastly differ depending on the time of the day when the bloodwork is done so I am not sure if having high serum values literally minutes after taking them is actually bad or not. The businesses that I go to usually do bloodworks early in the morning.
But the B-vitamin supplements have commonly very high doses. I think I have been asking a doctor about that and they said to me that it's not a big deal because you piss off the extra stuff off, it's more about if you just wasting your money that way.
What about Acarbose which had success in the interventions trial?
75% of my daily protein comes from whey and pea protein powder because everything else is super expensive. Could this cause cancer in the long run?
Whey is a waste product and peas are full of lectins. Both will end up wreaking havoc on your digestive system. Opt for hemp protein instead.
@@lookfeelbehealthy6320 iv had this diet now for 7 years, my digestive system is fine. Im just wondering if it could be cancer inducing.
@@aurinko2877 It's only a matter of time. Yes, whey can contribute to cancer.
@@lookfeelbehealthy6320 i googled if my pea protein has lectins it gave me this "Pea Protein has almost zero lectins because the carbs have been removed from the peas and the peas have been baked. On average, peas have about 37.1 HU/mg lectins while Pea Protein only has 0.2 HU/mg lectins on average. In other words, Pea Protein is virtually lectin-free."
@@lookfeelbehealthy6320 and the whey protein i use is high quality made in sweden.
Cancer checks for all ages? Im 19 and would like to know if I should also get them
Edit: thanks for the replies. I didn’t just mean skin cancer. What about other types of cancer?
Probably not needed, if you don't have cancer history in the family. You could consider maping your dna, and see if you are at risk for cancer or other hereditary diseases
@World on Keto Keto will not save you from cancer, but it will increase risk of cardivascular disease
@@zombi3lif3 Definitely raises CVD based on how 99 percent of people do it. Might decrease cancer.
That's all keto-people have, if you confront them... laughing emojis.
For those actually interested in learnning about cholestrol, look into clinical lipidologist Thomas Dayspring
Not skin cancer at your age. Sunblock. Lol.
I've been a sunblock fan since I got on retin-A at 13, especiallysince my grandma kept having skin cancers removed, so I don't do yearly skin checks because I don't have any discoloration and haven't had a new or changing mole in decades, and I'm over 40.
But he is from Australia or NZ (I stink at telling the accents apart, but AZ, I think), and skin cancer is even more rife there because of the sun lover culture.
Does pre workout extend life span?
Can high blood pressure be caused by anxiety in general? Doctor can't find any cause
Soooooooo..... if your diet recommendations do not yield the desired BP, cholesterol and weight target numbers..... shouldn't these recommendations be reconsidered?
And with all the drugs recommended, the assumption is that they have zero side effects right?
Anyone still on board with this douch?
Has vitamin B-15 been forgotten as a supplement to promote longevity?
Ezetimibe gave me awful soreness and it was no psychosomatic effect. I try for delayed onset muscle soreness as much as I can in the gym, so I welcome soreness. Couldn't make it 4 days on ezetimibe. I do however love nebivolol and telmisartan.
Do you get another benefit from nevibolol apart from reduced blood pressure?
Is there any particular reason you left Acarbose out of this video?
Thx Dr Brad for this another outstanding video. May I ask you what is a typical Apo B level in the case of a newborn baby ?
Do you think dutasteride is as effective and as safe as Finasteride ?
