When you live with a genetic condition like Alpha 1 you absolutely know how important the liver is in your overall health and mortality. Until it's identified in your family no doctor takes you seriously or can identify the cause of the multiple diverse signs and symptoms you present with. My eldest brother died of Leukaemia at 9, my geat grandmother of gangrene from untreated diabetes, my grandmother of liver disease, my mother had Emphysema, Kidney tumours and strokes, my youngest brother had Pancreatitis at 27, dying of Amyloidosis at 54. We didn't know about this condition until my niece's son had to have a liver transplant shortly after birth. With over 500 processes in the body the liver is the reason you live well or die badly. Dr Cywes, please keep on focusing on the liver, and people, listen to him and love your liver today and every day.
About 3 months ago, I started the Carnivore Lifestyle and today I'm 63. 3 months ago I was at 257 and today at 222...During this change I had a stroke. But, I dodged the bullet this time. Why because a little over two years ago I had pneumonia real bad and ended with congestive heart failure. I recovered and got active again and the Stroke...What I got from the stroke was a slurred voice, that is coming back. I have video's on my progress. I think the carnivore life has saved my life...I've been listening to you just recently and I am amazed at the Information. Every day I feel younger just for losing 35 pounds and great info...Thanks, Doc...
🤯🤯 Absolutely brilliant. Watching you has really solidified my carnivore journey into place and understanding. I find myself anxious for instant results. Of course! I was so over being overweight, sad, tired, aching, and listless. My journey and goal is to heal my liver and love my liver. Everything else will fall into place and all will be well. Thank you. I share your videos and I furiously take notes while you are lecturing! It's like being in school again! I need to be on your Patreon page! Thank you!
I am in the same boat. If I stumble across a video that is more than 20 minutes, I usually pass on it. In rare cases, like these videos, I will watch them if they are less than 30 minutes. I usually do not want to invest more time than that watching videos on my computer.
Most of this is a bit over my head, but I do know that liver health is important. Thankfully, my ALT has gone from 45 down to 13 from low carb lifestyle alone, no drugs at all.
@@robertwood9984 Thanks Robert. I actually had a hint that I've already learned a lot just today. I was telling some work colleagues about things related to the low carb diet, blood tests etc and was surprised at how much I know that other people don't. You cannot learn it all in one go. It has to be added to gradually. I've been low carb now for 21 months and have watched/listened to a lot a videos during that time.
I've told my family and friends for years that my favorite organ was the liver. It does almost everything. So I am so pleased to keep learning about new and wonderful things the liver is capable of doing. Fix the liver was my motto. Thank you for this valuable information.
This is awesome. I'm low carb, haven't gotten rid of insulin resistance yet, but I have HBP and my iron is low (not certified anemic, but my hemoglobin is low, even after taking iron). I started working on my liver two months ago. Now I know the reasons why I'm not healthy as I should be. And I know what to do about it. It was placed in my records that I have a fatty liver after an abdominal scan, but no one was talking about it. No one seems interested in NAFLD.
A very complicated subject but nicely explained. All new to me. I saw your notification and was pleasantly surprised you gave us another video this week. God bless and thank you 🖖
Doctor you was the one that took me over thr top to go on the Carnivore diet for Crohn's. One of your videos said if you have UC, IBS, Crohn's get on the Carnivore diet and stick with it and you will see great improvement but could take two years. I'm only on week twelve but have seen improvement with like baby steps and then days I feel not so good but I will not give up and not let a day discourage me. After all I'm really just getting started. I can say one thing is my stomach isn't always upset and not hurting as much. Thank you so much and one day maybe I'll call to get some help with your test you run. Can't wait to tell the world how this helped me get my life back to help others.
Dr Cywes please do a video on keto for people who are at their ideal Weight already or are underweight- and are doing keto for the other benefits. Thanks Christina from sunny RSA
Do weight lifting or resistant training, I was 45 kg in 8 mnths of low carb, after doing simple exercise at home, now I'm 48 kg, n don't look too underweight. In fact many friend envy my body now at 40 yo
If you are eating enough protein and there are no underlying metabolic worries, you aren't underweight. I agree with Marissa that you need to work on muscle tone/strength to get your body looking the way you want it to look.
Having Hemochromatosis I am acutely aware how important liver health is. Milk Thistle works well to regulate liver function. The other trick I learned from Dr. Berg; 20,000 IU daily 'shuts off' genetic triggers. This is true for hemochromatosis in me (H63D gene)
Unlike your surname (translated from German), Dr Funny is deadset serious about this extremely important information. I cant thank you enough for this critical info. This info is very profound.
Are you on the lifestyle? Can you poll your clients? Can you record changes in meds for people on the lifestyle. Can you sanitize the date and put that on TH-cam/Rumble? Yours is a community we need to hear more from.
Extremely interesting. It is hard to take everything in, to really UNDERSTAND. But... it is also obvious what NOT to do. What harms the liver? That is anything that have the potential to cause a fatty liver. I have practiced LCHF for three years now. I feel great, better than ever. Hopefully it is so, it feels like that, that my body benefits from this in the ways Dr. Cywes says. I recover quicker after physical activity, short term, long term. Plus a lot more.
Thank you so much for making these videos and explaining how our bodies work. My husband and I started Keto the middle of April, and are now Carnivore. He has gone from 280 to 262 and has stalled. Is it possible the liver has to “clear” out and lose fat before his body can continue to drop weight and heal? So many good health outcomes from stopping carbs!
My weight loss journey has stalled several times, once for almost six weeks. I don't know why but I found that if I increase my fasting time weight loss resumed. I'm now OMAD and down 75# from 250 to 174 with no issues re. hunger or loss of energy level. For reference, I now eat 10 oz of ground beef browned with 4 Ex. Lg. eggs scrambled in most days. I use different spices I can tolerate and a couple cheeses to vary the taste and texture of the food. Fish, all beef hot dogs and full-fat brisket also provide variety with a steak mixed in once in a while. Life is good!
This is something confused me. I was under the impression that IGF-1 was very potent. It sounded very beneficial for everything but cancer. Not something you want to stimulate growth in. Any answer for my pea brain would be appreciated. 😁
@@wheelofcheese100 IGF-1 is a nutrient sensing hormone activated by Leucine amino acid (and few others). It promotes cell proliferation like you said it's bad for cancer cells. But if immune system natural T killer cells and antioxidants are doing their job then cancer development should not be an issue. Cells get damaged, die off, etc so we need mTOR to function. Especially for skeletal muscle growth, skin cells, ligaments, hair, nails. It is my opinion that many people fear cancer and eat too little protein as a result. Cancer can only develop and grow if the system in place to keep it in check is compromised.
Just don't have cancer. That's it. Jokes aside, a high vitamin D and low deuterium diet ought to give you a nice immune system and then you can go and max that IGF1.
My IGF1 was around 110 with A1C of 4.7. After taking 10mg of MK-677 for 30 days (along with Metformin 500mg/day), my IGF1 went up to 220, and my A1C went up to 5.4. I'm on a ketogenic- Mediterranean diet.
What a gold mine of info - thanks Dr. Cywes. I need to view this again especially on the beta cells multiplication hormone - I had a fatty liver (quite OK now with years of lifestyle changes) and I am a type 2 diabetic (down to HbA1C 6.2 to 6.7). I have been trying to figure out how to increase my beta cells. Consider adding summary slides to your videos which would be a good aid for a quick revision.

Thanks for the video and showing your live results. Maybe you can measure your ketones live like Dr. Boz. I'm a huge fan of measuring ketones and not being delusional about being in ketosis.
Good grief... I'd love that number . Been keto (under 10 g carbs/day ) for two urs, omad and still cannot get my bg that low. Happy to have reversed t2d from 9.3 to 5.2-5.4 over past 2 urs but keep chasing these under 100 numbers. Mine will occasionally go as low as 89, bit most 90- 110. 😢
Your videos are great. Quick question. If i have no gal bladder, what bile salts or whatever do you recommend for keto? Or do i not need them? Thank you in advance.
@@marianne1959Low carb/keto covers a wide range of foods and beverages. He did not cover specific foods and beverages. Maybe in another podcast it was covered and I missed it.
High ferritin levels can also mean living or working in hidden mold somewhere. It’s so common to have it in the HVAC and Vents plus plenum box. However it’s very very common and not everyone can handle being exposed daily to it. Especially women with breast implants
Hmmm. If you have cancer, I think it is very important that you lower your IGF-1 because IGF-1 stimulates your cancer cells to grow. Of course you don't want that. IGF-1 is found in dairy products, meat, eggs and soy. It is also important to keep your insuline low. So is it smart to follow-up a Keto diet even when insuline is low and your liver is healthy????🙄. I hope so.
Hello everyone! Very good content! I want to become a carnivore but I have a highly excited nervous system. There are professionals who say that diets based on the consumption of red meat and fats are very good for people with a predominantly passive nervous system, but they are not recommended for people with an excited nervous system. I can't find studies that talk about this and I would like to know your opinion about it. Thank you in advance!
I'm not a doctor/researcher but I do know that trying the Carnivore diet for 60 to 90 days isn't going to hurt you. Your body will answer your question and your doctor can monitor your nervous system and your meds. Start slow so your gut can adjust.
Going Carnivore does not necessarily mean all red meat. Seafood and eggs are also great. I personally have never heard of red meat not recommended for excited nervous system, and I don't think there's anything wrong with having red meat regularly. But you can have other meats instead.
So how do we get our liver in shape? I was confused about the Ferritin. Mine tested at 544, but the doc said that was normal? Looked pretty far out of range to me. I have been on a carnivore diet, so definitely low carb.
The most interesting thing about the liver is that it is not supposed to see dietary fat. The chilomicrons are supposed to empty before the liver gets them.
I like all your videos, and I do want a video consult sometime this summer. I'm now 77, and had rue en Y, in 2009, lost a ton and gained most of it back. My surgeon was Dr. Marima. Been on keto and now carnivoire, and I'm 220 pounds down and A1c of 5.9. I want it lower. Problem: for whatever reason, I'm always hungry. I think about food all the time.
Dr.Boz recommends eating sardines. She says you will not be hungry. She fasted with sardines for 3 days and was amazed at how she was Not hungry. Raised her ketones a lot.
My guess is that you're not eating enough fat to produce satiety. I like the formula of 1 gram of protein per pound of ideal body weight and an equal amount of fat or more - up to 2x or even more.
I had low platelets for years. No symptoms. Dr. Said just monitor. Was diagnosed with bladder cancer. Once treated , guess what, my platelets have been normal.
@Dr Cywes. I call the bat phone and only get vm. Nobody calls back. I text the bat phone and it looks like AI responses with long gaps between responses during business hours. How can i speak to someone on the phone? Thank you
Doc - surely you cannot be at 3.6mmol/L and still be lekker sharp! I've an ALT of 15, not put a carb in my mouth for 5-years...BMI of 20 and the absolute lowest that my glucose goes is 4.1mmol/L, this at 4am and when I have been fasting for 16-hours!!
Dr Cywes, Can u please do a satiety vid ? , and please put the word satiety in the heading so it can be searched on Google. The satiety u feel when u eat only meat on carnivore, or ketovore is perfection for obese people like myself . No other diet comes close in terms of satiety. Please explain why meat is soo great for satiety.
If your semi-annual blood work doesn't indicate high glucose/A1C issues, buying a monitor is probably a waste of money. If you just have to have one, I think you can buy them at any pharmacy without a prescription. If I'm wrong, you should have no trouble getting a script from your doctor.
Blood tests are not cheap. My guess is 'not unless symptoms/other tests warrant' and 'yes since they test for different things'. Knowledge is power...let your symptoms and the Internet be your guide.
Google says: "Insulin-like Growth factor-1 (IGF-1) is a prohibited substance on the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) Prohibited List"." "Who manages the list of banned substances for the Olympics? The Prohibited List is managed and coordinated by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA)."
Please help, I’m confused - You stated that “fatty liver is direct consequence carbohydrate consumption” (6:56). I have eaten low carb for 10 years, and, I’ve been carnivore for the past year and a half (trying to correct crazy weight gain & raging symptoms from menopause). Recent Dr visit read my labs and said I have non alcohol fatty liver disease - ?! *Also- no weight loss!
Define your low carb diet…. Also, hepatitis and viruses can damage liver cells And remember protein in amounts larger than your palm is converted to sugar for storage if not used… You should introduce intermittent fasting now - it really is your only option
@@robertcywes2966 I know of no process that converts protein to carbs. The body will produce needed glucose from proteins if necessary to maintain brain, etc. processes. Excess protein is generally filtered by the kidneys and is excreted. Protein should be about 1 gram per pound of ideal body weight and fat should be equal to or greater than that.
just found your channel. so if IGF-1 Is part of cell growth all over and cell division wouldn't it also be important for brain recovery after a TBI? same with HGH wouldn't it create new brain cells and cell division in the BRAIN?
@robert cywes You tell me. Edit: Okay, that curt reply wasn't fair. I'm 100% carnivore and am a subscriber, but I'm autistic. My IQ is 165, HOWEVER, I don't get out much, preferring to shelter in and build things, so acronyms for things common in your realm ghost me.
IGF-1 has been manufactured by 2 companies for years.. I have a private HGH Buyers Club based in Florida which provides affordable HGH to my Members. Not one is a Bodybuilder. What every Men's Health Clinic in the State that provides 30 Iu of Omnitrope for a 1000 a month I provide for $250.
I like how Dr Cyves talks like we're 2nd year med students. I don't like having to rewind the video 3 times to absorb it all.

Stop all pill popping, stop all carbs, stop seed oils, stop ultraprocessed faux foods, stop all sugers
@@donparkes5056 wb fruit?
@@Jdub0126 Still carbs/sugars. Low carb berries if you must. Minimize to maintain
I like all your videos, and I do want a video consult sometime this summer. I'm now 77, and had rue en Y, in 2009, lost a ton and gained most of it back. My surgeon was Dr. Marima. Been on keto and now carnivoire, and I'm 220 pounds down and A1c of 5.9. I want it lower. Problem: for whatever reason, I'm always hungry. I think about food all the time.
I eat a lot of cucumbers and cabbages both red and green , as a filler , to quench the hungry feeling.
This works nicely for me.
Dr.Boz recommends eating sardines. She says you will not be hungry. She fasted with sardines for 3 days and was amazed at how she was Not hungry. Raised her ketones a lot.
My guess is that you're not eating enough fat to produce satiety. I like the formula of 1 gram of protein per pound of ideal body weight and an equal amount of fat or more - up to 2x or even more.
How does IGF impact the growth of cancer if you have already been diagnosed with cancer with mets???
Thank you Dr Cywes. I have a healthy liver but for years I’ve had low platelets, what is wrong in my body?
Ought to investigate
@@robertcywes2966 thank you, my dr PC and surgeon has ran several labs and have no answers.
I had low platelets for years. No symptoms. Dr. Said just monitor. Was diagnosed with bladder cancer. Once treated , guess what, my platelets have been normal.
Have you had a cat scan done, rule out cancer?
@@natetalbert4289 thank you for sharing , wishing you good health.
Do you recommend vitamins supplement to your patients??
Sadly i have a broken liver 😢 F3 fibrosis bordering on cirrohsis
@Dr Cywes. I call the bat phone and only get vm. Nobody calls back. I text the bat phone and it looks like AI responses with long gaps between responses during business hours.
How can i speak to someone on the phone?
Thank you
Doc - surely you cannot be at 3.6mmol/L and still be lekker sharp! I've an ALT of 15, not put a carb in my mouth for 5-years...BMI of 20 and the absolute lowest that my glucose goes is 4.1mmol/L, this at 4am and when I have been fasting for 16-hours!!
I get to 3.3 mmol/L regularly
Dr Cywes, Can u please do a satiety vid ? , and please put the word satiety in the heading so it can be searched on Google.
The satiety u feel when u eat only meat on carnivore, or ketovore is perfection for obese people like myself . No other diet comes close in terms of satiety.
Please explain why meat is soo great for satiety.
Actually it's the fat that provides energy & satiety. Eat enough fat and you won't be hungry or lethargic or get cravings. It's just that simple.
Liver is a miracle.....😮
Stephanie person talks about the liver
She drives me crazy...can't watch her any more. She is all over the place in her videos
Dr. Robert Cywes, what do you think about the new studies on artificial sweeteners and the WHO’s recommendations?
Who said "protect the liver and feed the gut"? Thanks
Lustig and Cywes...both Roberts
@@robertcywes2966 Both of you are so great. I’ve learned so much. Thanks.
I would like to buy CGM’s to monitor my sugar. Where can I buy them?
If your semi-annual blood work doesn't indicate high glucose/A1C issues, buying a monitor is probably a waste of money. If you just have to have one, I think you can buy them at any pharmacy without a prescription. If I'm wrong, you should have no trouble getting a script from your doctor.
yes, it's banned.
These 4 hormones arent normally tested for? A normal liver blood test can show normal function but still have hormone production issues?
Blood tests are not cheap. My guess is 'not unless symptoms/other tests warrant' and 'yes since they test for different things'. Knowledge is power...let your symptoms and the Internet be your guide.
How can I reverse acute drug induced elevated liver enzymes
Google says: "Insulin-like Growth factor-1 (IGF-1) is a prohibited substance on the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) Prohibited List"." "Who manages the list of banned substances for the Olympics? The Prohibited List is managed and coordinated by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA)."
Thanks
Which, fortunately, is irrelevant to the vast majority of people who don't compete.
Long live the Liver
Please help, I’m confused - You stated that “fatty liver is direct consequence carbohydrate consumption” (6:56). I have eaten low carb for 10 years, and,
I’ve been carnivore for the past year and a half (trying to correct crazy weight gain & raging symptoms from menopause). Recent Dr visit read my labs and said I have non alcohol fatty liver disease - ?!
*Also- no weight loss!
Define your low carb diet….
Also, hepatitis and viruses can damage liver cells
And remember protein in amounts larger than your palm is converted to sugar for storage if not used…
You should introduce intermittent fasting now - it really is your only option
Set up a visit to review. Carbs also come from xs protein. Likely related to lack of wt loss
Are you eating dairy?
@@robertcywes2966 I know of no process that converts protein to carbs. The body will produce needed glucose from proteins if necessary to maintain brain, etc. processes. Excess protein is generally filtered by the kidneys and is excreted. Protein should be about 1 gram per pound of ideal body weight and fat should be equal to or greater than that.
High salt did i hear it right
So...
How exactly, do you get your liver "in to shape"??
Eat a proper human diet
Do you see any healthy livers in bariatric surgery?
I imagine depends how adherent for how long to low carb before surgery...?
just found your channel. so if IGF-1 Is part of cell growth all over and cell division wouldn't it also be important for brain recovery after a TBI? same with HGH wouldn't it create new brain cells and cell division in the BRAIN?
That's an interesting question. I'm sorry you didn't get an answer. Maybe there's insufficient information yet.
How do you get your liver back into shape??
Eat a proper human diet...carnivore or something very close to it.
Yeah! Get your damned liver into shape! (Just quoting ☺️)
How do ‘I get my damn liver in shape?’
Keto or carnavore
How do I know fatty liver is improving? The telltale pads over my eyes are almost gone.
An abdominal ultrasound will show it. Insurance should pay for it to follow up your fatty liver disease, but if not, they are not too expensive.
80-90%carnivore but rum and gin are battling with my liver.
You are not anywhere close to carnivore if you consume alcohol. You know what to do.
I personally would take that annoying noisy CGM out to the back forty and do a little target practice...
😂😂
You lost me on the first acronym.
Wat's a pwobwem
@robert cywes
You tell me.
Edit: Okay, that curt reply wasn't fair. I'm 100% carnivore and am a subscriber, but I'm autistic. My IQ is 165, HOWEVER, I don't get out much, preferring to shelter in and build things, so acronyms for things common in your realm ghost me.
IGF-1 has been manufactured by 2 companies for years.. I have a private HGH Buyers Club based in Florida which provides affordable HGH to my Members. Not one is a Bodybuilder. What every Men's Health Clinic in the State that provides 30 Iu of Omnitrope for a 1000 a month I provide for $250.
