JFC Nick is so ripped that his veins have arms. Also, I sincerely cannot comprehend how he manages to study medicine at Harvard, conduct original research, go to the gym and upload stuff to TH-cam regularly. I barely have enough energy to take care of my kids, do housework and ride my bike every now and then. Much respect. Re. the method he's following to get information out to the masses and provoking a conversation, I think he's finding the right balance.
@@ascarby Yes. All physicians MD / DO and doctors PhDs, thin or fat had great discipline to complete university and residency : ) Yes extra points for eating well, Nick has health issues so he creates himself bigger problems if he doesn't eat well. That tends to help people stay on track, of course not everyone. Now if he had at least a 16" bicep, at the same time, that would be impressive. Anything beyond 16" and 9% body fat becomes even more impressive for sure.
@@ebrahimshahidarshad1763 healthy is as important. Strength is great as long as it doesn't come as a sacrifice to health. The strongest men on the planet, all have health issues and never stay the strongest for very long
I'm a 75 year old fan whose father was a butter taster working for the USDA, I always appreciate positive butter content to balance fifty years of negativity.
There is no point providing valuable information if you don’t have the viewers full attention. I think what you’re working on is brilliant. Keep up the good work 👍
Great vid! Your results are not surprising. I've been doing a carnivore diet for 18 months where I haven't had a single grain of sugar (or fruits, veg, grains, oils) but eaten a ton of saturated animal fats, meat, eggs and dairy. Not quite as much butter as in your experiment but I do get through just under 1kg per week. Feel brilliant mentally and physically. Many issues in my body which I usually attribute to aging have reversed. My wife is off all anxiety meds (actually both off all meds - we're 54) and my mom's reversed type2 diabetes.
Nick, I meant to give your desired feedback weeks ago, but here I finally am. You are on top of it all -- intriguing subject matter, delivery, graphics, balance between scientific facts and video titles and delivery strategies that grab attention. Keep up the excellent work. I have been following you quite a while and relish all I learn from you. I know my brain's neuroplasticiy improves each time I watch, rewind, rewatch and ponder all you share and teach. Thank you for it all. I'm staying curious.
Honestly bro, you have a big loyal following that continues to burgeon. I don't think you need to change anything about what you've been doing. Make it 'provocatively reasonable' or reasonably provocative or whatever you want to do, but I don't think you should worry about the analytics. If you just keep going you'll keep growing. Just my 2 cents and thanks for all the important work and great content!
Loved it Nick. I know that your humour is not click bait and there will be gold that I am interested in in your videos. I love the way you must rile up the establishment and this is definitely a way to get their attention! I don't think your videos would ever be real click bait because unlike those you actually deliver on your hook, keep it up if that's what works💪
I watched through all the way. Excellent video. I added it to my private playlist of the best videos because I really like the three lessons (and your shirt! Science needs to be questioned humbly and systematically and thoughtfully).
Nick, there's nothing wrong with trying a bit of provocation to spread an important message. The content is, as always, extremely interesting and valuable. In Poland, we're waiting for our first conversation with you, hoping you'll find some time in your busy schedule ✌️
Please keep going. I feel I can trust what you say in your videos. I am trying this way of eating to help my husband with dementia and tweak my own health concerns.
Hi Nick, I am a 60 year old woman that is doing mostly keto. I appreciate your research and your videos. I am in the midst of trying to figure out why my small dense LDL is so high. All of my other numbers are fine. Your videos have helped me do more research to figure out what is going on. I try to watch every one of your videos, searching for an answer. I did do a genetic test that says I have familial hypercholesterolemia and I am trying to figure out how to combat that. I have children and grandchildren, and I want to live a long and healthy life. If you ever want to do a study, I would be more than happy to work with you. Keep up the good work!
Some of the content creators I consider most trustworthy do have hilarious, click-baity thumbnails and captions. I hope this succeeds in helping you get the word out, both on the topics you study, and the research mindset you advocate.
Hi Nick - please keep it the way you’ve been doing it - interspersing some fun-tongue-in-cheek videos with the deep-dive super serious ones. You always get my attention and I always learn something (even if I have to listen multiple times 😅)
Loving your work as always Dr N 😘 You have gravitas and levitas. Perfect mix. Every day is a school day. I am a 60 year old successful leadership consultant and coach and am still learning about how to 'market' myself. Never stop learning!
Nicholas you have an excellent way of teaching to make a difficult subject for me who is not medically trained and in my late 70’s to be able to get a good understanding of metabolic health. Many of us know that the “current health guidelines” aren’t fit for purpose, in all areas people’s health is deteriorating year on year. Keep up the good work. 👍
From my perspective it doesn't matter if you title every video "DUH" as I will always look forward to watching your content. Your info has always been data driven with transparency and honesty and that's what keeps me coming back. It's my trust in you that matters not a clicky title!!!
Don't worry Nick - this was a valuable and very interesting vid. Most of us enjoy watching people who are experimenting and learnng and enabling us to expand our knowledge as well - whilst incorporating a fun watchability. Keep doing these vids.
Hi Nick. I really appreciate all of your hard work and enthusiasm. You are a truly remarkable young man. I'm very interested in your research and so glad you're willing to share it with your audience. I don't waste my time on TH-cam channels unless they're put out by keto/carnivore doctors, cardiologist or people like you. The problem though, with me is, the information is sometimes over my head. I like when the person summarizes it for me. So please keep up your good work and at the end please, give me a little summary. Thank you and best wishes.
Your production values and scripting were much more interesting and energetic! Yet I still got the info I always love! Thanks for the content and the work!
I have been following your channel since you only had about two thousand followers and I have really enjoyed your evolution! I am a low-carb care provider myself and have been living ketogenic since 2018. I have also done several of the experiments that you and your colleagues have done so that I can provide informed advice. you are at your best when you explain metabolic topics in layman's terms so that they understand the gist of what you are explaining, even if they cannot grasp all the details. your strategic advantage and strength is that you master biochemistry and human metabolism, which is very important during your medical studies, allowing you to become a healer instead of a prescriber! your clips from the past few weeks have been very professionally produced, without sacrificing technical depth. my day brightens up every time I see that you've put a new video online :)
Loved your vid, presentation and personality. As long as you do what you love and share it wholeheartedly, people will find you. Thanks for sharing! Subscribed
TBH, I would have watched this video even without the title. I follow you because you continue to present information that I am interested in & I’ve come to trust your words. There are just a few that here that I look for their videos & am pretty good about seeing all of their work. I do try to find opposing views on some subjects just because it makes me think rather than just absorb the material.
@@nicknorwitzPhD you have helped me improve my health by pointing to the nuance and convincing me there is a safe way to try a keto or carnivore style diet. I will be getting imaging done and getting blood tests. I am 3 months into keto and I feel better than I have in 20 years.
I like the facts and the fun and the short videos are great. The internet has messed with everyone's attention span. So super long videos are hard to watch. So keep up the good work I think your delivery is spot on.
I had been watching videos on allulose and came across yours and found it a good, simple summary. Then I checked your page and videos since it was so efficient... funny enough this video was the first I clicked on to so I guess your approach worked!
Great improvement in your videos! Your earlier videos were at times too dry and technical, making them more work to follow along with. This new style is Perfect! Love your work and information!!
Your video title was honest. And because you have nuance to your approach, it made the video informative. And because eating that much butter is nuts, it made the video entertaining. I would have liked to see how the butter was eaten a little more. You should do butter review 😅
Great work Nick. I really appreciate the explanation at the end and the precision with which you have chosen your words. I agree with you 100% and your channel is on the right pathway.
Great content. We need more people thinking outside the box. This will lead to more questions and therefore more answers. Metabolism is complex and there is so much we don’t know.
I think this is an outstanding balance of making the packaging appealing to get folks in for the message. There will be detractors, and I’ll guarantee none of those people will have the impact your work does.
I like the n=1 experiments and understand that what you are sharing is not "telling" me to follow the same experiment. I am curious just like you Nick and appreciate that you are willing to teach "us" and that you like to teach. Love the tee shirts btw - keep being curious and honest and everything will work out
Love your channel, information, and curiosity with a very objective approach … you need “click bait” to get people to watch??? That’s the game! Go for it!! 🥰💕
I really enjoy your extremely intelligent and informative scientific descriptions of human physiology and metabolism. Your provocative thumbnails and titles are fine with me, but I would probably watch anyway with more mundane bait as long as you continue the highly intellectual nature of your presentations.
You’re doing great, Nick! I enjoy that you keep things entertaining and fun along with keeping the core value of your channel, which is one based on integrity of information sans personal agenda to influence. There are other informative channels that I follow, while I appreciate the content, is so dry and boring that I have a hard time watching. Your channel is valuable and a refreshing change!! 👏
First time viewing your content, but you're very well spoken, sincere and I think this was a great presentation. I like watching and learning new things and your social media skills are very intelligently polished.
Got the balance right imho. Title & 1st seconds caught my attention but you managed to keep me interested. Please keep staying true to yourself. I really appreciate your intellectual honesty and what appears to be honesty in general. Thank you
Nick, I am so happy that you keep getting more viewers. I have been with you since nearly the beginning and am always inspired and educated by your videos. Keep up the good work and keep those newbies coming. BTW, I am 81 years old and have had type 2 diabetes for more than 20 years. I keep my numbers in the normal range because of lifestyle.
You do good work man. The getting clicks game is what it is. While the title and thumbnail may be "click baity," it was not dishonest and the video was informative as you always are. Dial in what you need to to get more eyes on your content. I would also mention, that while it is not central to what you do by any means, I respect that you have such a lean physique. It always helps when nutrition presenters actual can walk the walk and be a positive representation for the message.
I truly appreciate your work brother. Started keto in Oct last year quickly switched to carnivore and then dropped about 60 so far and healed countless issues!! YAY! CAC done this month, zero score... did echo stress, great report. Thinking of moderating towards more keto but not sure exactly what types of food I could add back in and keep the carbs super low. If you have a desire to do another "Clicky" video.. Would you consider a "what one can eat on Keto and keep the carbs below 20 a day" type thing???? Just a thought. Thanks for the REAL Science; we appreciate the heck out of you and Dave and others...
It’s definitely thought provoking and to an area that I’m pretty new to ! I learnt the basics as a PT many years ago but these videos are definitely educational and makes me want to learn more about this area ! Don’t watch the haters keep doing what you do
Love the “reasonably provocative” content ! You’re def making your own niche that could definitely hit mainstream if you keep going. Always appreciate the great insights from your “highly-nuanced-yet-understandable” videos.
I agree with some others below. It is not the click bait that keeps me coming back but the honesty and science. There is enough click bait already on the internet and I usually just ignore them. It is because you are honest and try to make science relatable that your channel is going to grow to be very large. I will admit that I do enjoy some of your humor and it makes me laugh!!
Hey Nick keep it as it is, as always very interesting and informative. I personally watch every video of yours and Dave’s. On a calories 🟰 weight perspective I have recently been checking my diet and I regularly log around 1000 calories more than would be my target on cronometer but my weight is very stable. I’m low carb, high protein and fat.
Intellectual honesty will protect and guide the correct balance. Advice from experience (=old man): I've found that humility is the best state from which to observe and evaluate truth. Good luck on your mission.
I thought the video was great! Not sure how someone just coming across it would evaluate it. You’ve earned my trust in the past, so it was easy to accept the changes.
I liked this video. Your result with the heavy butter consumption is so interesting! I had a too thin middle-aged female friend, long ago, whose doctor told her to drink Guiness Stout with lots of heavy cream mixed in and to do this every day in order to gain weight. I don't know what the proportions of stout/cream were and also don't know how she fared with this recommendation. But you sure brought the memory back.
Actually, this video answered some questions I had after watching some videos on fat fasting. Thanks for that. As a side note; I love those little snippets from Harry Potter, either visual or oral. They add a bit of humor and interesting thought-change (if that’s a word) to your presentation. 😊
Congratulations for your channel presenting metabolic principles in medecine in a playful or provocative way. Loved your Oreo Cookie ldl test which will serve me well answering an MD who thinks the fraudulent diet heart hypothesis is cast in concrete. Love your statement that acute does not equal chronic. Expect lots of flak from those with a huge conflict of interest that do not care in the least for our health. They are numerous and , sorry to say, include the majority of the current health professionals. But you are slowly changing the profession. Wish you continuous strength and courage.
There are at least one or two in the LMHR fb group who say that your vids are clickbaity and while that may technically be true, you are still providing quality videos that aren't something different than what the clickbaity title may suggest. Keep on doing your thing. I enjoy your content and knowledge.
thanks :)... the former reaction seems inevitable at a certain scale, but I'm shocked by how small a minority it appears... I try my best, as explain in the latter half... this is all about learning, growing, reflecting on the "tools" I have at hand
I understand having to try things to grow the channel and get the info out there. As long as your content remains balanced, I think the "click bait" is not a big deal.
You're doing a great job. I have been following you from the beginning. I always prefer hard facts over slick production, but humans are curious and like shiny things so you do what you have to.
Just got my labs back after 1 year of keto … So my cholesterol is super duper high (as is my small particle ldl). Thankfully I have a ketogenic doctor that I’ll be seeing next month and he supports my carnivore diet. I know I may have heart disease from years of bad choices, but that’s life before carnivore. I do know now that it’s not because of my high fat carnivore diet. Can’t imagine how you pulled this butter experiment off! I can’t eat butter because it rips up my stomach, so just nice fatty ribeye and lamb! Never had GI problems until I went carnivore and was miserable for months until I finally took out the butter. It goes to show we all have to tweak our diet as we go along
As a Carnivore for a year now I would just like to add that not all butter is created equal. We use butter as a dip for home made beef jerky. We started with regular butter,BJs brand. A little too much and it upset the stomach. We switched to KerryGold and it was much better. After we found out about the lawsuit against Kerry we switched to Finlandia, much better and tastier. Next my girl found a butter called Plugra. By far and away the best butter I have ever eaten,it is 82% butter fat instead of 80. Yesterday she found a European butter Danish Creamery that was 85% butter fat and it just didn't compare to the Plugra. So as an amateur butter taster I just wanted to let you know that all butter is not created equally.
Nick, entertaining AND informative nuggets of scientific nutritional info , delightfully presented as always ! Echoing @Frostbiker, how do you manage it all ! Please keep it coming .
I liked that this video did not have 1000 edits/effects. Its content is not why I watch your channel, but it is acceptable, somewhat interesting and I can understand why this type of video is relevant for you.
You are wonderful researcher and communicator of health science so you will be successful whatever style you decide on. My advice would be to let your content (and not your style and click bait skills) be the primary reason many of us who want to learn follow you. As hard as it may be in this time of social media, try not to let volume (number of subscribers, views, etc) take priority of quality of content and clarity of message (even if the message is nuanced). Keep them coming and the best of luck in Med School, I know how demanding that can be,
Believe in the results!! What Nick is doing clearly works great for him, and I congratulate him on finding the right formula for his situation. The best of us can learn from Nick and adjust our own routines.
One of the differences between major acute and chronic changes in diet is the adaptation over time of the microbiome to the new energy and nutrition source. Additionally, cellular and systems level biochemical pathway responses also evolve, along with additional factors such as satiety and food preference responses. On top of this, individuals vary in their preceding genetic, epigenetic, environmental, physiological, cognitive, and other confounding states. There are good reasons for large properly implemented research trials. And for individual self testing.

Great content. We need more people thinking outside the box. This will lead to more questions and therefore more answers. Metabolism is complex and there is so much we don’t know.
I enjoyed what you had to say, and I appreciate your openness to exploring in the areas that lie between entertainment and education on SM. Well done!
I think this is an outstanding balance of making the packaging appealing to get folks in for the message.
There will be detractors, and I’ll guarantee none of those people will have the impact your work does.
Thanks Robb!
Rob’s the man!
I like the n=1 experiments and understand that what you are sharing is not "telling" me to follow the same experiment. I am curious just like you Nick and appreciate that you are willing to teach "us" and that you like to teach. Love the tee shirts btw - keep being curious and honest and everything will work out
Thank you! And, ya, to get rid of my curiosity you'll have to kill me
@@nicknorwitzPhD Same here. Curiosity keeps this cat alive and lively.
Love your channel, information, and curiosity with a very objective approach … you need “click bait” to get people to watch??? That’s the game! Go for it!! 🥰💕
Going for it...
All very fun 😁 your authenticity wins. And thanks for the fine content, too! Both super meaningful to me. Onwards in learning 😊
YAY! Onwards in learning!
I really enjoy your extremely intelligent and informative scientific descriptions of human physiology and metabolism. Your provocative thumbnails and titles are fine with me, but I would probably watch anyway with more mundane bait as long as you continue the highly intellectual nature of your presentations.
I promise I will!
You’re getting better and better at posting interesting podcasts!
Amazing results on your butter experiment.
You’re doing great, Nick! I enjoy that you keep things entertaining and fun along with keeping the core value of your channel, which is one based on integrity of information sans personal agenda to influence. There are other informative channels that I follow, while I appreciate the content, is so dry and boring that I have a hard time watching.
Your channel is valuable and a refreshing change!! 👏
First time viewing your content, but you're very well spoken, sincere and I think this was a great presentation. I like watching and learning new things and your social media skills are very intelligently polished.
Got the balance right imho. Title & 1st seconds caught my attention but you managed to keep me interested. Please keep staying true to yourself. I really appreciate your intellectual honesty and what appears to be honesty in general. Thank you
Nick, I am so happy that you keep getting more viewers. I have been with you since nearly the beginning and am always inspired and educated by your videos. Keep up the good work and keep those newbies coming. BTW, I am 81 years old and have had type 2 diabetes for more than 20 years. I keep my numbers in the normal range because of lifestyle.
Amazing!!! Go you!!!!
I've been liking the opening. like the stay curious statement. 🙂
glad you like it :)
I love your content Nick, thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!!!
You do good work man. The getting clicks game is what it is. While the title and thumbnail may be "click baity," it was not dishonest and the video was informative as you always are. Dial in what you need to to get more eyes on your content. I would also mention, that while it is not central to what you do by any means, I respect that you have such a lean physique. It always helps when nutrition presenters actual can walk the walk and be a positive representation for the message.
I get that… thanks for the comment
I truly appreciate your work brother. Started keto in Oct last year quickly switched to carnivore and then dropped about 60 so far and healed countless issues!! YAY! CAC done this month, zero score... did echo stress, great report. Thinking of moderating towards more keto but not sure exactly what types of food I could add back in and keep the carbs super low. If you have a desire to do another "Clicky" video.. Would you consider a "what one can eat on Keto and keep the carbs below 20 a day" type thing???? Just a thought. Thanks for the REAL Science; we appreciate the heck out of you and Dave and others...
Thanks for the comment. Glad you're happy with your lifestyle! In terms of foods you could try to add back from carnivore and stay very low carb (
@@nicknorwitzPhD Thanks so much!!
Provocatively Reasonable is perfect.
Good! More to come ;)
You're awesome and I love your edutainment videos. I appreciate you.
Glad you like them!
It’s definitely thought provoking and to an area that I’m pretty new to ! I learnt the basics as a PT many years ago but these videos are definitely educational and makes me want to learn more about this area !
Don’t watch the haters keep doing what you do
rooting for ya, you achieve your goals, we all benefit
TYVM... I feel great! y'all help!
Love the “reasonably provocative” content ! You’re def making your own niche that could definitely hit mainstream if you keep going. Always appreciate the great insights from your “highly-nuanced-yet-understandable” videos.
I appreciate that! 🥰
Love your non-dogmatic approach to things Nick. Sure this will ruffle some of the CICO proponents.
I agree with some others below. It is not the click bait that keeps me coming back but the honesty and science. There is enough click bait already on the internet and I usually just ignore them. It is because you are honest and try to make science relatable that your channel is going to grow to be very large. I will admit that I do enjoy some of your humor and it makes me laugh!!
Hey Nick keep it as it is, as always very interesting and informative. I personally watch every video of yours and Dave’s. On a calories 🟰 weight perspective I have recently been checking my diet and I regularly log around 1000 calories more than would be my target on cronometer but my weight is very stable. I’m low carb, high protein and fat.
Intellectual honesty will protect and guide the correct balance.
Advice from experience (=old man): I've found that humility is the best state from which to observe and evaluate truth.
Good luck on your mission.
Great video. Love the delivery in terms of content’s concise points and your talking pace. Your effort has had quick & successful results. Thanks.
Much appreciated!
I am sure Bella the Beef and Butter Gal would approve this message!
I thought the video was great! Not sure how someone just coming across it would evaluate it. You’ve earned my trust in the past, so it was easy to accept the changes.
Nick, your channel keeps getting better and better! Keep it up man. I really appreciate it.
I liked this video. Your result with the heavy butter consumption is so interesting! I had a too thin middle-aged female friend, long ago, whose doctor told her to drink Guiness Stout with lots of heavy cream mixed in and to do this every day in order to gain weight. I don't know what the proportions of stout/cream were and also don't know how she fared with this recommendation. But you sure brought the memory back.
LOL! Literal Butter Beer! Another HP reference!
Great video! Neither better or worse, just different, from your other videos. I appreciate them all
Actually, this video answered some questions I had after watching some videos on fat fasting. Thanks for that.
As a side note; I love those little snippets from Harry Potter, either visual or oral. They add a bit of humor and interesting thought-change (if that’s a word) to your presentation. 😊
Congratulations for your channel presenting metabolic principles in medecine in a playful or provocative way. Loved your Oreo Cookie ldl test which will serve me well answering an MD who thinks the fraudulent diet heart hypothesis is cast in concrete. Love your statement that acute does not equal chronic. Expect lots of flak from those with a huge conflict of interest that do not care in the least for our health. They are numerous and , sorry to say, include the majority of the current health professionals. But you are slowly changing the profession. Wish you continuous strength and courage.
Fascinating, great video Doc. Thanks.
YW!
There are at least one or two in the LMHR fb group who say that your vids are clickbaity and while that may technically be true, you are still providing quality videos that aren't something different than what the clickbaity title may suggest. Keep on doing your thing. I enjoy your content and knowledge.
thanks :)... the former reaction seems inevitable at a certain scale, but I'm shocked by how small a minority it appears... I try my best, as explain in the latter half... this is all about learning, growing, reflecting on the "tools" I have at hand
I understand having to try things to grow the channel and get the info out there. As long as your content remains balanced, I think the "click bait" is not a big deal.
Thank you, Nick! Carry on!
Don't you mean KerryGold? ;)
You're doing a great job. I have been following you from the beginning. I always prefer hard facts over slick production, but humans are curious and like shiny things so you do what you have to.
always great content.a must watch so just keep on doing what you are doing
Just got my labs back after 1 year of keto …
So my cholesterol is super duper high (as is my small particle ldl). Thankfully I have a ketogenic doctor that I’ll be seeing next month and he supports my carnivore diet. I know I may have heart disease from years of bad choices, but that’s life before carnivore. I do know now that it’s not because of my high fat carnivore diet.
Can’t imagine how you pulled this butter experiment off! I can’t eat butter because it rips up my stomach, so just nice fatty ribeye and lamb! Never had GI problems until I went carnivore and was miserable for months until I finally took out the butter. It goes to show we all have to tweak our diet as we go along
Why so many 'small' ldl particles ? .Don't elimination diets result in large, bouyant ldl ?.
I have plenty of large too. But my small particle seems higher than I would like. I’ll have to talk to my doctor about that at my next appointment.
As a Carnivore for a year now I would just like to add that not all butter is created equal. We use butter as a dip for home made beef jerky. We started with regular butter,BJs brand. A little too much and it upset the stomach. We switched to KerryGold and it was much better. After we found out about the lawsuit against Kerry we switched to Finlandia, much better and tastier. Next my girl found a butter called Plugra. By far and away the best butter I have ever eaten,it is 82% butter fat instead of 80. Yesterday she found a European butter Danish Creamery that was 85% butter fat and it just didn't compare to the Plugra. So as an amateur butter taster I just wanted to let you know that all butter is not created equally.
Nick, entertaining AND informative nuggets of scientific nutritional info , delightfully presented as always ! Echoing @Frostbiker, how do you manage it all ! Please keep it coming .
I manage it because I love it all and because interacting with y'all here is too much fun!
Well done!
You butter believe it!
I liked that this video did not have 1000 edits/effects. Its content is not why I watch your channel, but it is acceptable, somewhat interesting and I can understand why this type of video is relevant for you.
I think it was incredibly valuable. (With a side of cheek. 😉) Perfect balance, Nick. 👌
I certainly have a Cheeky side!
You are wonderful researcher and communicator of health science so you will be successful whatever style you decide on. My advice would be to let your content (and not your style and click bait skills) be the primary reason many of us who want to learn follow you. As hard as it may be in this time of social media, try not to let volume (number of subscribers, views, etc) take priority of quality of content and clarity of message (even if the message is nuanced). Keep them coming and the best of luck in Med School, I know how demanding that can be,
Believe in the results!! What Nick is doing clearly works great for him, and I congratulate him on finding the right formula for his situation. The best of us can learn from Nick and adjust our own routines.
On point. Attractive thumbnail and very insightful video. 👍🏼
YUp, just keep going, but I'm a nerdy so I'd watch whatever you do.
NERDTHUSIASM!
You’re doing great!
Brie Great!
One of the differences between major acute and chronic changes in diet is the adaptation over time of the microbiome to the new energy and nutrition source. Additionally, cellular and systems level biochemical pathway responses also evolve, along with additional factors such as satiety and food preference responses.
On top of this, individuals vary in their preceding genetic, epigenetic, environmental, physiological, cognitive, and other confounding states.
There are good reasons for large properly implemented research trials. And for individual self testing.
Love watching your content. Keep up the good work! 👍
Your videos are very inspiring, and you make me think a lot about the little the things that not fit in to the actual models, great value, thanks
