Thank you very much for the videos and all the useful information you share with us. Your channel is definitely the best source of information about how human body functions. During this week, I have watched over 40 videos from you, and I have to admit - it was one of best decisions on how to spend my time. Thank you once more.
the best channel on health in general. I adore when you say: "I keep as simple as i can". Is it okay to drink water during or immediately after a meal !?
Getting addicted to these videos. My wife thinks i have swallowed a memory chip. Now i can give her advice and back it up with the doc's knowledge. So many things i have learned in a week. Thanks for these videos.
43y and skinpinch recovery is pretty much instant, so i guess i have teenagers skin 😆Rally informative and helpful channel. Ive been relatively healthy my whole life, but have been steuggling with losing weight. Since i found these videos, dropped sugar and started having 1-2 low carb meals/day i have been losing around 1kg/week without any trouble.
Skin bounce-back time less than a second, age 40. I feel so young 😀. Thank you very much for getting people to understand how the body works. I have now lived without sugar, cookies, candy etc for 1,5 years and also switched to real butter and sea salt. Also been exercising about twice a week for 5 years. This year also kept alcohol away since a close person died because of drinking.
*On a side note, remember than if you take a B complex, well the riboflavin, it gives yellow urine. So, you could be super hydrated, but the yellow is from that, so maybe don't drink a load more. Just thought i'd put that out there. Hopefully helps someone reading this* 🚽 💛
This is very true. I take non fortified nutritional yeast along with bee pollen in the morning first thing and yes it causes a rich yellow, but throughout the day it equalizes.
I was so impressed by this vid that I shared it on my FB page. I did the skin test, several times to be sure, and it returned in 2 seconds. I will be 82 in a few months, so I guess I am doing something right. Thank you Dr., for sharing your knowledge .
Thank you Saigon Exile for doing the skin pinch test and sharing with the rest of us. That is awesome. Congratulations on your new-found youth. I had a feeling the people on this channel would be a step ahead of average. 😄
I am now using Levelup Fortified Multi Collagen. It is in powdered form. It seems to reduce my arthritic joint pain. I have also noticed that my skin, hair and nails have improved. I buy it from Amazon but you can also get it directly from Levelup.

Skin pinch 2 seconds and I’m 57 today , I’ve been on a ketogenic life style since March 2021i was obese when I started I’ve been on one meal per day during the whole of this time , I’ve lost 5 stone , thanks to watching your Vlogs . Many thanks to you …
I’m 62 and my skin snaps right back. I’m keto and I fast regularly. I move like I’m 18. Loving this test! Actually I guess what I like the most is the affirmation 😘
Wow!!! 82 and so techie! 😱My parents are just in their early 70s and they already have problems exploring Smartphones and writing sms and here you are writing comments 😍
Thank you, once again, Dr. Ekberg! You share you knowledge and wisdom so easily and understandably. Dehydration is one of my issues. I don’t take, or make the time. Your points are well taken today.
Magnesium and potassium are very necessary for normal blood pressure. These are very important minerals that we often consume too little. For those who are more interested, I recommend the book: "A brief collection of unknown facts about vitammins and minerals". Greetings!
Hi Dr Ekberg. I am 56 years old and my skin stretch test was less than 2 seconds. Keep up the great videos please. I really appreciate the health information you pass onto us all.
49, about 1 1/2 seconds on the pinch test. I focused on my health, quit drinking (3 years and 6 months sober!), eating healthier, lost 90 lbs, went off BP and Cholesterol meds, my Dr told me I had the health of someone in their early 30s. Also sadly told me that I was his ONLY patient ever to do all the right things and "reverse" my heath age. Love your channel! Thank You!
Hey doc. I'm 54 and bounce back time 1 to 2s. Love this channel. I look to it for inspiration. Thanks for pointing out the truth about food and health.
You explain things so well, I find myself confident that I finally feel a good comprehension of the subject you are covering. I refer others to your channel. Thanks
I just started the keto lifestyle. This video is a wake-up call. I'm 66 and my skin did not bounce back 😳. I still have to learn a lot. I have diabetes 2, so I to really take care. Thank you for your very clear and informative videos.
Thank you Stan. I'm 52 and the bounce-back is pretty much 1 second or less. Based on other similar experiences in the comments, anecdotally it appears the test is based heavily on hydration or other factors and not much by age. I do a lot of strength training so I have been following a "half ounce per pound lean body weight" minimum for years. For me that is ~100oz and I can usually reach it. Currently I am working on incorporating your keto and fasting advice while scaling back the weights for a bit. I am trending the right way in only a week so I am super thankful for your expertise and hope you get the recognition you deserve.
oh thank you so much dr ekberg..ive learned so much esp with my health..ive been dehydrated few weeks ago, and you are right, i have a rapid heart beating..now i know what to do ..thnks,,
Two summers ago I was seeing a Doctor and I was telling her the dehydration symptoms and she never once told me I was possibly dehydrated. Thanks to Doctor Sten and TH-cam I learned what my problem was. Now I drink a lot more water and I pass the skin test and I no longer feel dizzy or have morning headaches. I also learned that if you dont drink enough water your body will still wake you up to urinate because your body is cleansing itself at night. Give it the water so your body works effectively. I found I rest easier and fall back asleep faster.
I have just found your videos and am blown away by your informing explanations. The 'whys' you answer are just up my street and what I have found so frustrating to have answered by allopathic medical peoples here in UK! Thank you. My skin pinch age is under 30. A real shame the rest of me seems to indicate lots more than my 71 years! I shall keep watching your videos and no doubt will eventually figure it all out, not just by popping my clogs! Thank you.
I just listened to your segment on dehydration. Wow! It helped me to realize about my palpitations. I had a problem with dehydration, but now I use my water daily. I like lemon water with pink salt to start my day. I use to consume caffeine all day with coffee or coca- cola and had abnormal heart rhythms daily. You talk about panic attacks all the time....coffee, cola, chocolate, . Now I understand why I always went after chips or pretzels.. I went after salts and not sweets.. Now, I drink water and I use pink salt. I was drinking to much water, but hated the bathroom runs so I cut back. Not to mention nighttime runs. That caffeine gave me the worst case of incontinence. I now follow the Lord's word, "nothing in excess, in moderation.... Here I am at 70, I no longer have night time issue's. Thank you Mr. Ekberg, I pray you continue educating us. " You're the greatest". Remember Jackie Gleason ?...Again, thank you..☺
Dr Edberg your information about any subject is always in depth and your tone, speed and explanation of subject is classic. You are providing detailed information about such a important and vital topics in our daily life. You are a great holistic Dr and I thank you for your wonderful services to mankind. Stay blessed.
Dr. Ekberg. I'm a recent convert of yours and started following your teachings about a month ago. In that brief time, I feel so much better, have experienced weight reduction and I'm more toned. At age 72, my skin snapped back in 3 seconds. Bless you Doctor.
Your video provides such comprehensive and detailed facts in a way I can grasp. The drinking water issue has been confusing for a long time but this gives me the power to understand it. I'll be watching this several times over. Thank you!
2 seconds and I'm 65 y.o. , for the past six months I've been following your videos and trying to change my attitude to eating , drinking exercise and meditation. And its working. Thank you so much.
I am 63 1-2 seconds I started listening to you may 3, 2021. Swim 40 laps a day ,eat mostly veggies, meat , berries, almost no carbs Don’t use a scale but I was a size 12 now comfortable in an 8 Jean.. Low calorie eating, not intentionally , never really crave or feel hungry.. feel fit and young Love listening to you
Hi Dr Ekberg, only just found your channel a week ago and have been glued to it every day since. I’ve learnt a ton of stuff. Thanks for posting these videos. Looking forward to learning much more.
I'm a 66 year old woman who's soon to be 67 but everyone thinks that I'm 49-50. I'm 5' 4" tall and weighed 112 lbs. My pinch went down in less than 2 seconds! I eat healthily, drink 1+1/2 to 2 litres of water and exercise daily. Thank you Dr. Sten Ekberg for this wonderful video; you're helping us to live our best and healthier lives. God bless you always 🙏🙏🙏🌹
Thank you Steve Steve. I appreciate your feedback. Also make sure you check out my video library. There are over 400 videos organized by topic and play list. 😄 th-cam.com/channels/Ie2pR6PE0dae9BunJ38F7w.html
Oh man! I have increased my water intake and I drink RO water! I'm gonna have to change things up. Thank you so much for your educational and inspiring videos. You are a blessing to me, and to many others I'm sure!!🙏🏼 Lord bless you!
Don't stick your head in the toilet or lap from a swimming pool ! Thanks for calling us health champions. We will certainly live up to your expectations! I just had my annual physical in May: after 4 months of eating according to your way though my A1c remains 5.9 besides lost 10 lbs my HDL is so high ( more than 1/3 of the total). All other numbers are very pleasing. NOW I wait to see if my A1c will come down after another 12 months.
Was in hospital for 4 days 7 bags of fluid learned hard way about dehydration. I didn't even know I was not drinking hardly at all til I collapsed. Definitely remember to drink water ppl
what a tremendous physiology lesson! particularly since I live in an arid climate and can go one hikes up to ten hours with climbing as high as 1,402 meters! I'm tremendously grateful for your channel! I'm 53 and in the best health of my life!
Thank You KUSTOMDELUXE84. That would be so cool. Lawns all over the world sporting health champion signs instead of political candidates. There's a vision to get excited about. 😄
I have taken garlic capsules for 40 to 50 years I take proper vitamins vitamins I have worked physically all my life which is very good for you to move I do not eat food filled with preservatives I don't buy packaged things people make I make my own food I like real food like real food I take Apple cider vinegar with lemon very often great stuff for everything I am very holistic I don't go to doctor I'm never sick God is my physician And I'm happy I'm filled with joy and I love everyone so I'm going to be very very old very old bless you all Chihuahua and thank you doctor
That dog deep diving into the commode was just too hilarious!! I’m so glad I saw this. I always wondered why I still urinated around the same amount even if I tried to limit my fluids!! I don’t see the point of drinking a gallon a day, for sure, unless i’m out in the hot sun all day!
I won't complain... I'm 55 and the BB is 4-5 seconds... 🤗 But I'll add that in 04/20 I was 315lbs and today I am 218lbs and IF every 6-8 weeks for 96hrs to encourage autophagy to help with the extra skin to help tighten and firm it up. EDIT 07/22/21: I did the above pinch test first thing after waking up and before any morning hydration. After waiting till after... The results were 1-2 seconds BB. So looks like I should wait till I replenish my fluids lost while sleeping... First! 😱🤣
@Steven Tullius First congrats on weight loss. Do you actually see a decrease of skin from fasting. Like a long term loss? Where does the extra skin go? Asking to learn, how our body works is so amazingly interesting. Keep up your awesome health journey.
@Steven Tullius 96 hours is my workable level so far. I do OMAD every day and 4-day fasts every 6 to 8 weeks. Works well for my schedule. I also do a carb load every other 4-day fast. Seems to help balance things well and trains my body to switch back and forth between ketones and insulin. Just a whole lot cleaner than before.
I found while following keto i got more dehydration issues, not only lightheadedness but also headaches, what helped immediately was a tea spoon of salt. this took away headache and dizziness within 15 minutes. taking a tea spoon of (sea) salt every morning kept dehydration away. 👍
Love your videos!!❤ Love the clear way you explain things !!❤ Great information !! I will keep watching and sharing !! I am doing Keto and intermittent fasting and since last Oct. I have lost 48 lbs. ...my goal is 60 lbs....slowly but surely !! Watching your videos helped me understand how and why it all works . Thank you so much Dr. Sten Ekberg for passing on all your knowledge and information !!❤
If carefully listened to or watched all videos, one must reach a conclusion that we almost all were living our lives in oblivion and darkness of misconceptions. Regarding water intake we all had a mistaken concept..Thanks for clearing..Man..may God bless you
I'm a *51* yo female with a rebound skin time of 2 seconds! Right there with ya, Dr. Ekberg, thanks in large part to *YOU!* Thank you for teaching me _how to be a _*_health champion!_*
Dr. Edberg I am 55 year old woman and my skin came back instantly (did test few times), thank you and other doctors who teach about Intermittent Fasting and Keto lifestyle on their TH-cam channels. Mind you I drink around 1.5 to 2 liters of water depending on the weather and my thirst level.
Thank you Zbawienie jest Wieczne for doing the skin pinch test and sharing with the rest of us. That is awesome. I had a feeling the people on this channel would be a step ahead of average. Your water consumption sounds about right. 😄
44 y.o. female, and according to test, I am in the 30 and under category! Very happy, as I usually do OMAD, and hydrate according to my activity level. Thanks, doc! Excellent content, as per usual!
ok, i just did the pinch test, and it went right back to flat as soon as i let go. i am 57. so, that age thing is not accurate, but i do agree that dehydration would cause a delay in the skin elasticity.
72 trips around the sun and my skin returned to normal in 2 seconds, so now that I'm 30 again I'm going to get that new Harley Thunderbike (lol of course). Thank you, Dr. Sten, for all of your wonderful videos, they are very informative and helpful.
Pinch test snapped back pretty much instantly…and I’m 70….had Lymphoma in the colon a year or so ago and had a very bad experience collapsing in the kitchen due to dehydration…lost all body functions. That chemotherapy has a lot to answer for…….😡 Had never been in hospital or been on any medication in my life so the drugs were a huge surprise to the body….playing sport since a kid certainly helped recovery I think. Keep up the great vids……👍
I love that many of your videos topic fit to this moment in time - well for me at least.. You have already helped me alot and thanks for keeping up the great work.
Just done a pinch test… you’ve made my day as I’m under 30! My biological age is 60! I am on a keto diet and my scales give my metabolic age as 53 … either way it’s great! Thanks for your video’s
Always very interesting Dr and after 3 years of keto/if/low carb my pinch test is 1 second and I’m almost 45 years young! ✌🏼😎👍🏼 Thanks for making these videos! ❤️
I know my diet and health, in general, is a mess, but the simple steps you give me to turn things around on my journey to take my health more seriously.... are slowly working.
Seems like when I drink water I just pee it straight out ounce for ounce. Yet I can drink 32 ounces of coconut water, and might not pee but a few ounces out hours later.
Funny I use to drink distilled.i stop because some told me its wose bad for me.thanks Doc first time seeing this channel and I learn something good job
Am one of your health champions for 6 months now Dr. Sten, and my skin bounces back for 1-2 seconds at 38, yay!!! 😍 Another good content u have now. Always grateful for you...
I’m a new subscriber; just want to tell you how thankful i am for you sharing this knowledge. Honestly, this info for some people is life or death. I’ve reverse insulin resistance by intermittent fasting, my blood pressure is normal by mediation exercise and i just feel great. Can’t wait for the kiddos snd i to do our daily walk. Thank you
College runners at u of new Mexico 🇲🇽were given salt tablets and vitamin c tablets...Coach Hugh Hackett...not very inspirational but technically sound.
Im 53 guy but according to this chart I'm younger than 30, I love it. Im fortunately healthy but am here to learn more like everyone else. I love this guy.
Not quite perfect KETO for almost 6 mos. 284lbs to 228 this morning on my way to mid 190s which will put me within 15lbs of my high school weight, im mid 50s now, you sir are an amazing Doctor , a true healer. Thank you !!
Thank you Joe King for doing the skin pinch test and sharing with the rest of us. That is awesome. I had a feeling the people on this channel would be a step ahead of average. 😄
@@drekberg his name is Joe King... I.e joking. Not sure if he is trolling. Anyway I'm 40 too and did skin Turgot test and it's instant too. Thing is I never drink water...
The only holistic healthcare doctor I look up to and trust. I'm 60 and my bounce back time is instant. As for kidney stones, I had one a few years ago and unfortunately had to go through surgery to remove it. Even lithography failed. I wasn't drinking enough liquid. Painful lesson learned.
I'm 43, i drink a lot of water everyday, my urine is very clear and i put coconut oil to my body everyday after i take a bath. My skin is very smooth, soft and moisturized. Not dried and no sign of aging at all. ❤️
Skin tested at less than a second. 43 years old with Ankylosing spondylitis and going at it without doctors or their drugs. From 80 pounds with a resting heart rate of 140. To 125 pounds with a resting heart rate of 80 in the 4 years I've been away from a doctor's care. Thanks for the help.
I always find your video's very informative and somehow the real deal. There is so much misinformation on the web and I am really pleased to see someone finally breaking down important things of our bodies. To answer nr. 5. My skin bounces back instantly. I can't even see that it goes back, so fast! I am 31 :)
Since I've been feeding my cat a more species-appropriate diet (basically, the best canned food I can find) she never drinks water anymore. I'm pretty sure she was getting a ton of excess carbs before. I also don't open-feed her now. Feeling guilty, I decided to change her diet after my health improved so much from eating LCHF/IF. She's about 20, and seems to have a lot of energy and vitality again.
Hi everyone. I am 53 years of age, I am keto ,carnivore since 2019 And I am doing fasting and intermittent fasting. My pinch test was almost instantly, like your skin Doc. Ha ha I am glad I found you on the TH-cam. Thank you for what you doing for us.
@@drekberg Heh heh all good Sten. Having a good laugh is surely a health benefit! Best channel on youtube healthwise. Lost 15kg in 3 months on Keto following your guidelines, without having to do the mad amount of exercise on previous so called "diets". For the moment I do walking when I can get away from the office. The small cheat I do a couple times a week is a glass of organic, non-homogonised & permeate free whole milk. It tastes so good. Other. than that I stick to Keto, IMF, and rarely feel hungry, and certainly do not miss giving up grains. Thank mate, for you gift to me finding a better way to live.
Most informative .. thank you. The 'pinch test' .. 3 seconds at a resting pulse rate of 67. I'm 71 years of age. Hydration plays an important part in my life. Back in my early days in the Military and working undergound in Deep Level Gold Mining, I have experienced serious thirst. I go nowhere without water. Take care ..
Great video and will rewatch as per usual to absorb all of the info. Thank you! I'm 63 and bounce back was 4 seconds. Not bad but would love it to be even better. Have been keto and IF for year and a half with so many health benefits.
Skin on left hand 1 second; Skin on right hand 2 seconds. Just turned 70 which was more exciting than turning 18 or 21. Became a vegetarian 3 years ago which helps with weight and type 2 diabetes.
So when people tell me I need a drink at least one gallon of water a day they're crazy. Your body will tell you when it needs hydration. One of the main things I've learned from Dr Ekberg is that your body knows best!
This might be just the best channel on TH-cam. I binge watched every video and learn so much. Now I am doing 24 fasts and drinking lemon water with a pinch of pink himalayan salt

You are so lucky, 61 this year and can’t say that!
@Violett Fem Haha! Yeah ..., I better go with the pinch test, then. 😄
Literally some of the best videos on the internet the information you give out is golden.
The result of the skin test was 1- 2 seconds, my age is 75. I eat low carbs and put collagen in my 2 cups of coffee everyday.
What type of collagen do you put in your coffee, is it in powered form and where do you buy iy from please?.
I am 48 and it was 1 second at most and I eat mostly baked potatoes and carrots

I am trending the right way in only a week so I am super thankful for your expertise and hope you get the recognition you deserve.
Sten
oh thank you so much dr ekberg..ive learned so much esp with my health..ive been dehydrated few weeks ago, and you are right, i have a rapid heart beating..now i know what to do ..thnks,,
Two summers ago I was seeing a Doctor and I was telling her the dehydration symptoms and she never once told me I was possibly dehydrated. Thanks to Doctor Sten and TH-cam I learned what my problem was. Now I drink a lot more water and I pass the skin test and I no longer feel dizzy or have morning headaches. I also learned that if you dont drink enough water your body will still wake you up to urinate because your body is cleansing itself at night. Give it the water so your body works effectively. I found I rest easier and fall back asleep faster.
Instantly snapped back-I must be a health champion. Thanks.
I am 90 and my skin is kind of slow but I will be working on it ..nice posting doc..and woke me.up ..let's see what happens ..
I love the way you explain so patiently in details, thankyou so much 🙏
I have just found your videos and am blown away by your informing explanations. The 'whys' you answer are just up my street and what I have found so frustrating to have answered by allopathic medical peoples here in UK! Thank you. My skin pinch age is under 30. A real shame the rest of me seems to indicate lots more than my 71 years! I shall keep watching your videos and no doubt will eventually figure it all out, not just by popping my clogs! Thank you.
Best explained ever. I love watching these videos because you are so clear and calm.
I just listened to your segment on dehydration. Wow! It helped me to realize about my palpitations. I had a problem with dehydration, but now I use my water daily. I like lemon water with pink salt to start my day. I use to consume caffeine all day with coffee or coca- cola and had abnormal heart rhythms daily. You talk about panic attacks all the time....coffee, cola, chocolate, . Now I understand why I always went after chips or pretzels.. I went after salts and not sweets.. Now, I drink water and I use pink salt. I was drinking to much water, but hated the bathroom runs so I cut back. Not to mention nighttime runs. That caffeine gave me the worst case of incontinence. I now follow the Lord's word, "nothing in excess, in moderation.... Here I am at 70, I no longer have night time issue's. Thank you Mr. Ekberg, I pray you continue educating us. " You're the greatest". Remember Jackie Gleason ?...Again, thank you..☺
Dr Edberg your information about any subject is always in depth and your tone, speed and explanation of subject is classic. You are providing detailed information about such a important and vital topics in our daily life. You are a great holistic Dr and I thank you for your wonderful services to mankind. Stay blessed.
Dr. Ekberg. I'm a recent convert of yours and started following your teachings about a month ago. In that brief time, I feel so much better, have experienced weight reduction and I'm more toned. At age 72, my skin snapped back in 3 seconds. Bless you Doctor.
Your video provides such comprehensive and detailed facts in a way I can grasp. The drinking water issue has been confusing for a long time but this gives me the power to understand it. I'll be watching this several times over. Thank you!
2 seconds and I'm 65 y.o. , for the past six months I've been following your videos and trying to change my attitude to eating , drinking exercise and meditation. And its working. Thank you so much.
Each of Dr Ekberg's videos contains a wealth of info. Can't thank him enough 😊
I am 63 1-2 seconds I started listening to you may 3, 2021. Swim 40 laps a day ,eat mostly veggies, meat , berries, almost no carbs
Don’t use a scale but I was a size 12 now comfortable in an 8 Jean..
Low calorie eating, not intentionally , never really crave or feel hungry.. feel fit and young
Love listening to you
I love sharing your videos. I have learned so much from you Doc. Everyone needs to know this stuff! Thank you!
I’m 67, and my skin bounced back in 1 second! I’m feeling pretty good about my health now!
Hi Dr Ekberg, only just found your channel a week ago and have been glued to it every day since. I’ve learnt a ton of stuff. Thanks for posting these videos. Looking forward to learning much more.
I'm a 66 year old woman who's soon to be 67 but everyone thinks that I'm 49-50. I'm 5' 4" tall and weighed 112 lbs. My pinch went down in less than 2 seconds! I eat healthily, drink 1+1/2 to 2 litres of water and exercise daily.
Thank you Dr. Sten Ekberg for this wonderful video; you're helping us to live our best and healthier lives. God bless you always 🙏🙏🙏🌹
This is an extraordinary program.
Thank you Steve Steve. I appreciate your feedback. Also make sure you check out my video library. There are over 400 videos organized by topic and play list. 😄 th-cam.com/channels/Ie2pR6PE0dae9BunJ38F7w.html
My skin was about 2 seconds. I follow a lot of your principles and have also list about 95 Lbs. You are awesome, Dr.!
Oh man! I have increased my water intake and I drink RO water! I'm gonna have to change things up. Thank you so much for your educational and inspiring videos. You are a blessing to me, and to many others I'm sure!!🙏🏼 Lord bless you!
Don't stick your head in the toilet or lap from a swimming pool !
Thanks for calling us health champions. We will certainly live up to your expectations!
I just had my annual physical in May: after 4 months of eating according to your way though my A1c remains 5.9
besides lost 10 lbs my HDL is so high ( more than 1/3 of the total). All other numbers are very pleasing.
NOW I wait to see if my A1c will come down after another 12 months.
Thank You Jar-ming Pang. I'm so glad you found it valuable and I appreciate the feedback. 😄
Finally someone addressing LOW blood pressure! Thank you!
Was in hospital for 4 days 7 bags of fluid learned hard way about dehydration. I didn't even know I was not drinking hardly at all til I collapsed. Definitely remember to drink water ppl
I am a health champion, bounced back immediately. Been on keto and fasting for 2.5 months & I am having great success!
what a tremendous physiology lesson! particularly since I live in an arid climate and can go one hikes up to ten hours with climbing as high as 1,402 meters! I'm tremendously grateful for your channel! I'm 53 and in the best health of my life!
Been noticing signs on lawns that say "A High School Academic Champion Lives Here". I want a "Dr. Ekberg Health Champion Lives Here" sign for my lawn.
Thank You KUSTOMDELUXE84. That would be so cool. Lawns all over the world sporting health champion signs instead of political candidates. There's a vision to get excited about. 😄
Yes! me too!
I'm a bad girl in many ways overweight drink too much wine but I'd always keep my hydration up I'm 75 and I would say between 1 to 2 seconds
I have taken garlic capsules for 40 to 50 years I take proper vitamins vitamins I have worked physically all my life which is very good for you to move I do not eat food filled with preservatives I don't buy packaged things people make I make my own food I like real food like real food I take Apple cider vinegar with lemon very often great stuff for everything I am very holistic I don't go to doctor I'm never sick God is my physician And I'm happy I'm filled with joy and I love everyone so I'm going to be very very old very old bless you all Chihuahua and thank you doctor
You speak so clear. I can understand every single word. So useful for my english and my health. Thank you doctor Sten
That dog deep diving into the commode was just too hilarious!! I’m so glad I saw this. I always wondered why I still urinated around the same amount even if I tried to limit my fluids!! I don’t see the point of drinking a gallon a day, for sure, unless i’m out in the hot sun all day!
Thank you for sharing 👍
Irrelevant to diastolic dysfunction.😩
I won't complain... I'm 55 and the BB is 4-5 seconds... 🤗 But I'll add that in 04/20 I was 315lbs and today I am 218lbs and IF every 6-8 weeks for 96hrs to encourage autophagy to help with the extra skin to help tighten and firm it up.
EDIT 07/22/21: I did the above pinch test first thing after waking up and before any morning hydration. After waiting till after... The results were 1-2 seconds BB. So looks like I should wait till I replenish my fluids lost while sleeping...
First! 😱🤣
Thank you John Williams for doing the skin pinch test and sharing with the rest of us. Keep up the good work. 😄
@Steven Tullius First congrats on weight loss. Do you actually see a decrease of skin from fasting. Like a long term loss? Where does the extra skin go? Asking to learn, how our body works is so amazingly interesting. Keep up your awesome health journey.
Wow! Well done! Great to hear
@Steven Tullius 96 hours is my workable level so far. I do OMAD every day and 4-day fasts every 6 to 8 weeks. Works well for my schedule.
I also do a carb load every other 4-day fast. Seems to help balance things well and trains my body to switch back and forth between ketones and insulin. Just a whole lot cleaner than before.
Itll tighten with good nutrition and keeping bodyfat low. How long did your 100lb loss take?
I found while following keto i got more dehydration issues, not only lightheadedness but also headaches, what helped immediately was a tea spoon of salt. this took away headache and dizziness within 15 minutes. taking a tea spoon of (sea) salt every morning kept dehydration away. 👍
I love when you say "health champions"
I’m glad you speak at a reasonable pace. So many videos are too fast to absorb.
Love your videos!!❤
Love the clear way you explain things !!❤ Great information !! I will keep watching and sharing !!
I am doing Keto and intermittent fasting and since last Oct. I have lost 48 lbs. ...my goal is 60 lbs....slowly but surely !! Watching your videos helped me understand how and why it all works . Thank you so much Dr. Sten Ekberg for passing on all your knowledge and information !!❤
If carefully listened to or watched all videos, one must reach a conclusion that we almost all were living our lives in oblivion and darkness of misconceptions. Regarding water intake we all had a mistaken concept..Thanks for clearing..Man..may God bless you
My grandparents prefer drinking clear liquid soups, Chinese tea or something rather than just “pure” water. Now I know why.
Thank You pokeypickle3 😄
I'm a *51* yo female with a rebound skin time of 2 seconds! Right there with ya, Dr. Ekberg, thanks in large part to *YOU!* Thank you for teaching me _how to be a _*_health champion!_*
Dr. Edberg I am 55 year old woman and my skin came back instantly (did test few times), thank you and other doctors who teach about Intermittent Fasting and Keto lifestyle on their TH-cam channels. Mind you I drink around 1.5 to 2 liters of water depending on the weather and my thirst level.
Thank you Zbawienie jest Wieczne for doing the skin pinch test and sharing with the rest of us. That is awesome. I had a feeling the people on this channel would be a step ahead of average. Your water consumption sounds about right. 😄
@@drekberg I am 61 and came in at < 2 seconds
44 y.o. female, and according to test, I am in the 30 and under category! Very happy, as I usually do OMAD, and hydrate according to my activity level. Thanks, doc! Excellent content, as per usual!
ok, i just did the pinch test, and it went right back to flat as soon as i let go. i am 57. so, that age thing is not accurate, but i do agree that dehydration would cause a delay in the skin elasticity.
Same here and yet I'm 40.
Thank you for Dr Sten. Wonderful teaching.
72 trips around the sun and my skin returned to normal in 2 seconds, so now that I'm 30 again I'm going to get that new Harley Thunderbike (lol of course). Thank you, Dr. Sten, for all of your wonderful videos, they are very informative and helpful.
I love your presentations! Thank you.
You're welcome Claire Berube. My pleasure. Glad it was of value. 😄
Pinch test snapped back pretty much instantly…and I’m 70….had Lymphoma in the colon a year or so ago and had a very bad experience collapsing in the kitchen due to dehydration…lost all body functions. That chemotherapy has a lot to answer for…….😡 Had never been in hospital or been on any medication in my life so the drugs were a huge surprise to the body….playing sport since a kid certainly helped recovery I think. Keep up the great vids……👍
I love that many of your videos topic fit to this moment in time - well for me at least.. You have already helped me alot and thanks for keeping up the great work.
Just done a pinch test… you’ve made my day as I’m under 30! My biological age is 60! I am on a keto diet and my scales give my metabolic age as 53 … either way it’s great! Thanks for your video’s
Always very interesting Dr and after 3 years of keto/if/low carb my pinch test is 1 second and I’m almost 45 years young!
✌🏼😎👍🏼 Thanks for making these videos! ❤️
I know my diet and health, in general, is a mess, but the simple steps you give me to turn things around on my journey to take my health more seriously.... are slowly working.
Seems like when I drink water I just pee it straight out ounce for ounce. Yet I can drink 32 ounces of coconut water, and might not pee but a few ounces out hours later.
Funny I use to drink distilled.i stop because some told me its wose bad for me.thanks Doc first time seeing this channel and I learn something good job
Dr. Sten you're a legend!
Am one of your health champions for 6 months now Dr. Sten, and my skin bounces back for 1-2 seconds at 38, yay!!! 😍 Another good content u have now. Always grateful for you...
Great topic.. great explanation..great Dr. EkBerg
Thank You RADHESHYAM NAYAK. I'm so glad you found it valuable and I appreciate the feedback. 😄
I’m a new subscriber; just want to tell you how thankful i am for you sharing this knowledge. Honestly, this info for some people is life or death. I’ve reverse insulin resistance by intermittent fasting, my blood pressure is normal by mediation exercise and i just feel great. Can’t wait for the kiddos snd i to do our daily walk. Thank you
What about headaches? I've always known headaches to be a symptom of dehydration.
Should add some salt
Plop plop fizz fizz O what a relief it is!
Bingo
College runners at u of new Mexico 🇲🇽were given salt tablets and vitamin c tablets...Coach Hugh Hackett...not very inspirational but technically sound.
My headaches are from my body not accepting sodium!
Im 53 guy but according to this chart I'm younger than 30, I love it. Im fortunately healthy but am here to learn more like everyone else. I love this guy.
Thank you Dr. Sten Ekberg. Your learner from the Philippines. 🙏❤❣
Good morning Philippines and Thank you Regina Canizares. 😄
Not quite perfect KETO for almost 6 mos. 284lbs to 228 this morning on my way to mid 190s which will put me within 15lbs of my high school weight, im mid 50s now, you sir are an amazing Doctor , a true healer. Thank you !!
My skin returns flat immediately after letting go. I’m almost 40 so I’m happy with that lol
Thank you Joe King for doing the skin pinch test and sharing with the rest of us. That is awesome. I had a feeling the people on this channel would be a step ahead of average. 😄
Same here. I'm 54. How can it even take 1 second?
Same here with 60+, done with not stretched skin!
Chubby folks have less problems with that test...
@@drekberg you’re very welcome! I appreciate the knowledge you share :)
@@drekberg his name is Joe King... I.e joking. Not sure if he is trolling. Anyway I'm 40 too and did skin Turgot test and it's instant too. Thing is I never drink water...
The only holistic healthcare doctor I look up to and trust. I'm 60 and my bounce back time is instant. As for kidney stones, I had one a few years ago and unfortunately had to go through surgery to remove it. Even lithography failed. I wasn't drinking enough liquid. Painful lesson learned.
I'm 43, i drink a lot of water everyday, my urine is very clear and i put coconut oil to my body everyday after i take a bath. My skin is very smooth, soft and moisturized. Not dried and no sign of aging at all. ❤️
IloveuMaryJ.
Im a lizard. I need to drink more water and moisterize
the urine must be light yellow and not clear
Skin tested at less than a second. 43 years old with Ankylosing spondylitis and going at it without doctors or their drugs. From 80 pounds with a resting heart rate of 140. To 125 pounds with a resting heart rate of 80 in the 4 years I've been away from a doctor's care. Thanks for the help.
I'm 60 bit by your test I'm 30. My skin just goes immediately back.
I always find your video's very informative and somehow the real deal. There is so much misinformation on the web and I am really pleased to see someone finally breaking down important things of our bodies.
To answer nr. 5. My skin bounces back instantly. I can't even see that it goes back, so fast! I am 31 :)
I am 71 and my skin flattens back in less than 2 seconds. I stay well hydrated.
I'm 48 and my time was 1 sec. I really happy to find your TH-cam channel two weeks ago. Big thanks for that.
Since I've been feeding my cat a more species-appropriate diet (basically, the best canned food I can find) she never drinks water anymore. I'm pretty sure she was getting a ton of excess carbs before. I also don't open-feed her now. Feeling guilty, I decided to change her diet after my health improved so much from eating LCHF/IF. She's about 20, and seems to have a lot of energy and vitality again.
What food for cat???
Good for you, cats are naturally carnivorous and suffer under the typical pet food fed to them. I'm sure she feels much better :)
I know this was posted awhile ago, but would be interested in knowing the brand and type of food you feed your fur baby….TU!
@@edunham1243 I’ve been feeding my cat Darwin’s raw cat food.
👍
Hi everyone.
I am 53 years of age, I am keto ,carnivore since 2019 And I am doing fasting and intermittent fasting.
My pinch test was almost instantly, like your skin Doc. Ha ha I am glad I found you on the TH-cam. Thank you for what you doing for us.
My skin test bounce back was so quick I apparently haven't been born yet.
Thank You Co26 Sailing. LOL. Thanks for reaching out from the "before-life" 😄
@@drekberg funnee!! Haha 😂
@@drekberg 😄😄😄👍
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@drekberg Heh heh all good Sten. Having a good laugh is surely a health benefit! Best channel on youtube healthwise. Lost 15kg in 3 months on Keto following your guidelines, without having to do the mad amount of exercise on previous so called "diets". For the moment I do walking when I can get away from the office. The small cheat I do a couple times a week is a glass of organic, non-homogonised & permeate free whole milk. It tastes so good. Other. than that I stick to Keto, IMF, and rarely feel hungry, and certainly do not miss giving up grains.
Thank mate, for you gift to me finding a better way to live.
Most informative .. thank you.
The 'pinch test' .. 3 seconds at a resting pulse rate of 67. I'm 71 years of age.
Hydration plays an important part in my life. Back in my early days in the Military and working undergound in Deep Level Gold Mining, I have experienced serious thirst. I go nowhere without water.
Take care ..
Bounce back time-instantly. At 65 years of age, I must be doing something right.🥳
Me too.
You look great!
Thank you Sandra for doing the skin pinch test and sharing with the rest of us. Good for you. You're for sure doing some things right. 😄
Pinch test 2 sec... age 57😃
For me at 26 it's not surprising, but really nice for you.
Dr. Ekberg, You the the Champ.
Great video and will rewatch as per usual to absorb all of the info. Thank you! I'm 63 and bounce back was 4 seconds. Not bad but would love it to be even better. Have been keto and IF for year and a half with so many health benefits.
Skin on left hand 1 second; Skin on right hand 2 seconds. Just turned 70 which was more exciting than turning 18 or 21. Became a vegetarian 3 years ago which helps with weight and type 2 diabetes.
So when people tell me I need a drink at least one gallon of water a day they're crazy. Your body will tell you when it needs hydration. One of the main things I've learned from Dr Ekberg is that your body knows best!
Thank You Sal Lazuka. I drank a gallon a day for about a week recently as an experiment. All that happens is you run to the bathroom all the time. 😄
This might be just the best channel on TH-cam. I binge watched every video and learn so much. Now I am doing 24 fasts and drinking lemon water with a pinch of pink himalayan salt
