Thank you Dr. Ali, I really appreciate you. I have had a triple heart bypass three years ago this month. Christmas 2020, I saw a video, of Eric Berg and you discussing using nutrition, to treat heart disease. My BP is normal, for a 72 year old male, and still work as building maint. tech. But, this lesson on plant cholesterol, is awesome, because I've been taking avocado and coconut oil daily, I will cut it out. Thank you again. :)
Wow--Exactly what I was looking for. The adds for phytosterols give the impression that they absorb cholesterol, which is then eliminated. The presentation makes it clear that some of the phytosterols are absorbed instead of/in addition to cholesterol and used by the body with negative results--ironically a greater risk of stroke which is one of results to avoid! And even greater irony, statins plus phytosterols is even worse!! Excellent and clear presentation--thank you.
One of the very best talks I have heard in years. !!! Wow, that woke me up. So, all of that MCT oil I have been taking every day has actually been working against me for a healthier body. Wish I had known this earlier.
Thank you so much 💚 the women in my family all get these fatty lumps around their eyes at middle age, and this was starting to happen to me. I couldn't find any useful information about this until this talk. Since I have begun fasting and eating carnivore-ish the lumps around my eyes have almost completely disappeared! Thank you for helping me understand the mechanisms!💚
My world just got rocked. Here I've been eating coconut oil, olive oil, avocado oil, thinking that hopefully eventually it would heal my xanthomas. And I saw what he said and my mind was blown. I'm hoping that you will see this and maybe give me some advice. Do you eat grass-fed butter and grass-fed meat What do you eat?? Now I'm just WOW...
I have xanthalma on my eyelids. I've always eaten butter and milk, but guess my omega 6 intake has increased. I'm going to continue with butter but dump my rapeseed oil and supplement it with olive oil.
My goodness Doctor Ali you have given a very important information. Since my childhood I and my family were eating and drinking hazardous foods. Now I have entirely changed the menu of meals. Thank you doctor for guiding me and my family the right diet. My cholesterol level has declined from 305 to the normal level. It means people round the globe had been misguided probably for the last 40 to 60 years because they were ingesting sugar, plain flour, and vegetable oils in abundance and wholeheartedly.
Thank you! This is a great video, and a lot of information I didn't know about. It's sad our doctors aren't learning what kind of damage plant oils can do to our bodies.
I have watched numerous videos on cholesterol, this is the first time I am hearing about the deleterious effects of phytosterols (i.e. plant cholesterol). Based on all the evidence that Dr. Ali is presenting, it looks like we have been falsely implicating a lot of the maladies on animal fats which can, in reality, be blamed on phytosterols. Thank you Dr. Ali for this eye opening presentation. While I know better than to accept the glorification of industrial seed oils that has been promoted for decades by the "authorities", your presentation has really opened my eyes to how truly dangerous plant based chemicals really are.
Seed oils were introduced from 1900 to 1950 as a substitute for animal fat in cooking and butter. At the same time cases of heart disease were increasing. As we where reducing animal cholesterol in our diet, heart disease was increasing. Is there a relationship?
@@kenmarriott5772 Before 1900 the heart was not an organ that was in medical books nor was it lectured about in medical school. It was just an organ that presented no problems. So, what came first heart diseases or seed oils? I bet, the later.
What’s worse is when you cook the plant and the resultant plant residence and buy products that line your glands and organs also when the plant oils dry in your veins and arteries system they leave a nice plaque the true cause of heart disease
Remember that plant oils solidify at our body temperature of 98°F whereas they stay liquefied in a herbivore between 102 to 105° depending upon the mammal
@@Gesundheit888 In 1628 Harvey theorized about the heart but bleeding for high blood pressure or sickness was practiced for centuries afterward. Death was diagnosed as a weak heart.
Thank you Dr ALi for teaching us these things which the doctors we have would never tell us even if they know it. I have learned so much more on this subject from this video.
Eighteen years back I was advised to Atrovastatin by my cardiologist to control my cholesterol which was 298. Though I took it for a week, I stopped it. Since then I never took it. Last year when I went for blood tests it was around 275. To my surprise my new dr told it's good that I have not taken the statin. I hardly had any health problems due to cholesterol.
You sometimes wonder if Drs have incentives for putting patients on drugs v finding a solution to a problem? I can't trust them anymore, only for acute issues.
Hello Doctor Shaji I am very curious to hear more about your experience ( story) How you managed your life ?… probably you have a stent or bypass or something else. Because 18 years says many?! This is my story. I am 53 old man ,190 cm/ 80 kg, I got a stent 5 months ago on my artery coronary left , then my doctor sent me to statins and aspirin, but unfortunately from statins I obtained arterial fibrillation, because my heartbeat was strong and I woke up with wet wet pajamas, at night I slept only 2-3-4 hours maximum. Only after 2 months my health started to improve, the arterial fibrillation disappeared once I started the keto diet. All this nightmare was about 2 months after the stent implantation, although I took statins and clopidogrel and aspirin only about 10 days in total, but in the meantime I was reading everything that was interesting to my heart, on internet. Most people do not want to seek the truth about their health on their own, they leave themselves in the hands of allopathic medicine, appearing in front of doctors with their bodies ready for execution. My artery coronary left was clogged 100 % , said my doctor. But I am asking myself: why I didn’t die , if my artery coronary was clogged 100 percent? Before implantation of stent, I was vegetarian for 4 years, after stent I continued like vegetarian just 2 months, then I found Doctor Eric Berg , so … 2 months later after stent I started Keto Diet. Now I am following the keto diet with intermittent fasting 16-8 hours daily. Vitamin D3 / 20 drops per day Vitamin k2/ 12drops per day Acerola powder/ 3 teaspoon per day Instead of aspirin I take a teaspoon cumin in a glass warm water before I go to bed. And exercising. I try to do everything, but I don’t want to go back to the statins and aspirin. PS : I will be happy to communicate with people who have the same trouble like me. Thank you for understanding Dr. Eric Berg was sent by God to us as a helper for helpless people.
@@gabriel65304 perhaps you may be wondering whether am dead or alive. Nothing changed in my life much except that am bit old compared to few years back. I consider myself lucky since my engines are working without any medication except occasional keto diet, bit of exercise 10K steps, fully involved in my scientific work. Sofar no medication, no Dr visit particularly past 6 years ( of course I have done one medical test for my employment reasons). However, I tried to limit my weight within 68 kg with seasonal variation. Am 57 years_170 cm now. No stent no statin, whenever possible only two meals
Dr. Ali , My dr. said you have to go on a statin drug .I did the research and refused. When it was learned that the oldest surviving people in an old age home had the highest cholesterol levels, about average 275 total, that told me something .
No waste of time for me. I've watched thousands of hours of many fantastic doctors researchers etc that are on the internet I've probably seen them all many times more than once and you put together some new stuff that is very beneficial and useful for my personal program which is pretty much low carb one meal a day exercise in the gym 3 to 5 times a week combined with hard trail run up the mountain three to five times a week combined with breath work 45 minutes intensive and I'm going to get a whoop band since I heard your last talk on HRV. Thanks so much.
It's too bad that there is all that noise in the background, but this was a riveting lecture, as I am vegan and wish to optimize my understanding of nutrition. Thank you, doctor.
I think, "Nadir" in Arabic means exceptional. You are a truly an exceptional human being, I salute you full heatedly, my dear fellow. I general ,I don't care much for the doctor, I call them the lieutenant of the drug companies, I go to doctor not to get advice but for the blood test. Capitalist world operates for profit, not the life on earth.
Thank you Dr. Nadir Ali. I hope all doctors from the Philippines and over the world become more aware of these very important facts and understanding instead of relying on what they previously learned. I have consulted with several doctors, cardiologists and neurologists who have prescribed a lot of statins. I really hope more will understand your findings rather than standard pharma-influenced beliefs.
I'm Canadian ... Enjoying your instruction, Dr. N. My poor Texas sister has had intestinal bleeding -- source not found yet .. so has had a couple of intestinal surgeries, including removal of her illeum ... Now her Dr. advocates she eat "white" grains, rices ... no veg., no fats to speak of .... and he has recently put her on Humira. I feel so sad for her situation. She's 5 years younger than me.
Awesome presentation, it would be great if the videos could be edited to filter out the background noise when the attendants are asking questions, all I hear is white noise instead of their questions :D
I'm hesitant to use pork fat because US farmers feed the pigs soy and corn and the omega 6 builds up in the pork fat. Best to stick to dairy and grass-fed ruminants
Keto is great for most people. I agree. Myself, however, when it comes to coffee with buttter, I puke. But you all should be doing it, most especially the version high in saturated fats. I am simply too weak.
i remember my father taking me to health lectures when i was younger, the dr giving the lectures was promoting high vegetable and grain diet, he got diabetes and lost both his legs due to complicatoins of diabetes, ever since the i knew something about what we are being told about health just isn't right. I've Been on carnivore diet for 6 years now, and everyday i get further validation that this is the correct way to eat
Fascinating. I am a little bummed about nuts. I love nuts, they were my "candy". I wish there was a network that would include doctors in y area, that share Dr. Ali's approach.
I started taking on good fats today, and nuts and seeds was something I had plenty of today. Found other videos led me here. As I'm typing this I'm getting pain in my joints, big toe joint, hip, lower back, eye, finger that wasn't there before. No more nuts for me.
Dr. Ali is my cardiologist. I travel to see him. There are too few of them, unfortunately. Dr. Ali is a trailblazer! Dr. Ken Berry has a list of keto/carnivore doctors. Dr. Philip Ovadia is also an interventional cardiologist. His book is called “Stay off My Operating Table.” Dr. Anthony Chaffee advocates Lion Diet.
Thank you SO much for this amazing information. I hope these oils come off the market once or at least until they can be bred to have fewer problems, especially less linoleic acid and sterols.

@@algeriennehealthysimplelif6612 Read The Cholesterol Myth, by Uffe Ravnskov - he's both a physician and a PhD in biochemistry. The book is now on the internet for free.
Most of the advice the "medical and nutritional" industries hand out is based on what makes their associated corporations the most money, with no concern about how it actually effects the people who follow it. Most of the basic hypothetical under pinnings are obviously wrong, but it makes too much money for the corporations to admit they aren't really working.
Thank you for the great podcast- have just had my gene profile evaluated and have a "enhanced absorption of sterols" Perhaps some of us might not eat too much of this type of cholesterol but due to our genetic SNPs,(being prone to over- absorption of phytosterols) we need to be very careful of these processed oils and also the foods with the highest sterol content? Have found your video very useful in understanding why this "enhanced absorption" could be dangerous.
The only bad fats found in any diet are those coming from chemically/thermally-refined oils of *any* type, or any fat (or protein) in general that has been heated/cooked past around 350-375 degrees Fahrenheit (175-190 Celsius) - which begins changing its structure in a negative way. Check the ingredient list of most prepackaged foods & you will find some type of refined oil in them. Restaurants also used refined oils to prepare almost everything. Refined oils also tend to be heavy with pesticide/herbicide residues. Easy to see the problem. I stick to properly-prepared natural/unrefined animals fats & also raw/virgin cold-pressed coconut & olive oil.
Having stated that 'humans are uniquely adapted to burning / synthesising fat, Dr Ali, how does it then make sense to cite a study on RATS eating olive oil etc versus animal fats? How is a rat study relevant in this instance?
Can some one suggest books which explains the things Dr. Nadir is talking about. The standard physiology/biochemistry books are written by the low-fat low-cholesterol authors. Good lecture though sound quality is very annoying.
I do want to raise one problem with the olive oil + corn oil vs. animal fat diet study. There was no olive oil only (nevermind extra virgin which has the least processing, which maintains a healthier fat&cholesterol profile) group. Corn oil is God awful for people. No question. The work of Chris Knobbe on Omega 6 dangers has made this ridiculously clear. Olive oil is both relatively high in monounsaturated Omega 3, and the Omega 6 is not Linoleic Acid majorily, so the fat profile is very healthy. On the coconut oil front, Dr. Ali may want to look at the studies of the Tokelau islander tribe, because 80% of their fat intake is coconut oil (and something like 55-60% of their diet is coconut meat, rest being fish), and they live long, healthy lives. Maybe they're genetically optimized for it vs. the western world, but they are a notable exception to the rule that phytosterols will be detrimental to longevity.
Remember that the pacific islanders will consume that in the raw form not cooked and the coconut cream in the meat itself is an almost perfect match for the Krebs cycle’s at 80% fat 15% protein and 5% sugar. what’s also funny is when he mentioned the Canadian diet I thought he was going to mention canola oil, which means Canadian oil
Looking at those Mediterranean populations who, for generations, have consumed large amounts of olive oil in their diets, are also considered to be the healthiest populations. To place olive oil in the same category as processed corn oil is alarmist and misleading.
@@SilverMusik333 Yep. The polyunsaturated fatty acids break down into peroxyl radicals first, and those are very oxidative in the body. Then you start generating trans fats as those radicals interact with the intact fatty acids in the pan under heat. The perfumes and other volatile compounds also get morphed into undesirable reactive compounds too. You can saute with EVOO up to about 300 degrees before you hit this problem, but next to no one watches their pan THAT closely. Virgin coconut oil is good up to about 400, refined up to 450 (perfumes removed). And avocado oil can be 550-600 depending on origin and processing. By the time a pan hits 400 degrees, veggies and meat are going to be actively searing, and that's where most home cooks operate or stop, so it's the safer option if you're not a cooking enthusiast. If you want to run an experiment to check what level your stove has to be at to not have the pan exceed 300F, you can put some oil in it along with a temperature probe and find out.
How long does it take to clear the plant sterols from your body once you stop eating plants? Once xanthelasma appears, will the body also pass animal fats based cholesterol out on the same pathway?
What about Plant Stanols? They're not as absorbable as Plant sterols. Could a plant stanol supplement prove a safer alternative in the realm of competitive reduction of cholestrol absorption in the lumen?
@Suza It's also being discussed on facebook. The book is excellent but somewhat difficult to read. I loved it because I actually looked a lot of things up and made notes for myself while reading it. I even made drawings so that I could clearly explain it to my friends.
I am not convinced/confused of this presentation. Dr Ali is talking more about Margarine, Corn oil etc, which we know are BAD. Secondly, research shows eating avocado, Cononut and nuts, not nut oils (which is processed) is good for metabolism. I am a vegetarian (so are millions of folks) and i went on low carb 6 years ago and my diabetes vanished (A1C dropped from 8 to 5.6). Is he saying not to take statins on low carb? If so, he needs to focus more on that topic.
Just started eating flax seeds and chia seeds. Now they are not good for me because they have phytosterol? How am I going to get more fibers in my diet?
Check out Dr Paul MASON from "Low Carb Down Under" - he gives a good talk on the subject. Yes, you DON'T need fibre. I'm carnivore and it's not a problem!
You don't need fibre - as you'll find out, it's fibre that causes the problem! Also, very little is known about gut biome, in fact more is known about the moon than the flora of your gut - a bit of research will validate this statement. One thing about this idea of so-called feeding of the gut biome is an excellent opportunity for advertising slogans and parting us from our cash.
I am a sterol hyperabsorber. If I have to keep my consumption of eggs, animal fat, nuts, and seeds low, then what else can I eat? Do I have to eat mostly chicken breasts and broccoli?
So, veg and seed oils should be used on machines and not consumed by humans. This is why I'm a meat based eater, no grains, no sugar, no nuts, no veg or seed oils. Once I heal from the standard American diet I'll add back in a small amount of seasonal fruits & veg
@@chriskazaam896 😊 thanks, coconut oil being from fruit and saturated doesn't worry me so much. Two months later though, I don't see veg in my future, maybe just maybe seasonal fruits. I'm not raw carnivore btw, even when I eating grass fed beef, can't do it , lol.
@@No_Frills_Carnivore Very good point and it's not worth, especially since I don't like veg and I don't miss fruit. Thanks Just Debbie, you've saved me from me 😁
I retained a phrase from your speech-that human body is designed to eat plants in stress conditions only, otherwise only animals. That could be true from the phytosterols point of view...but minerals(specially Mg and K) come mostly from plants. Antioxidants have primarily vegetal origin. Love your theory of autoimmune conditions being induced by leaky gut and S.I.B.O., that is partly true but not all autoantigens have an intestinal provenience+what about cell mediated autoimmunity? I known you had to simplify your presentation to make it digestible by non-professionals...also had some issues about vit D pills not being absorbed due to low cholesterol...could you develop this idea? Overall I love this presentation(like all your TH-cam videos), can’t wait to watch your following video! Kindly, Dr Markus SORIN.
I'm not sure your point about magnesium, potassium, and antioxidants are accurate, actually. For one, there's a difference between how much of a nutrient occurs in a food, and how much of it you can absorb from that food. You're right that plant sources contain "high" amounts of magnesium, but it's often bound to glycoproteins, and the fiber in those plants also reduce electrolyte absorption. Same for potassium. Meat is actually rather high in potassium and, ancestrally, we likely got at least some magnesium and other electrolytes from the mineral content in water. I can't defend *this* point as well as I'd like, but I believe magnesium would be higher in a nose-to-tail animal diet. It's kind of hard to get high amounts of bioavailable magnesium from anywhere lol. As far as antioxidants go, that's largely a marketing strategy, think! The "antioxidants" in plants are actually pro-oxidants; they can have a net antioxidant effect by upregulating endogenous glutathione (and SOD?) due to the oxidative stress they cause. Whatever antioxidant content plants contain, they aren't active in human biochemistry; the effects they have are by proxy. People on a carnivorous diet have robust glutathione levels; since that's the mechanism for plant antioxidants anyway, I don't see a point, especially since those same pro-oxidant compounds can have damaging effects in other areas of the body.
David it has not been proven yet on long term studies what would occur with mineral metabolism on carnivor diet vs plant based diets. Myself I’m on keto diet with lots of animal fats and I also believe this is the best approach to prevent hyperinsulinemia and its consequences. But still I need to supliment some minerals on this diet and everyone who recommends ketogenic diet take that as a must-mineral suplimentation. I don’t know what to say about vitamins and antioxidants(you might be right!)
Sorin Markus " vit D pills not being absorbed due to low cholesterol" I think this issue is in reference to what he says between 24:10 - 24:45. Dr Nadir Ali doesn't actually say that it's due to low cholesterol here. The key is where he mentions that they're probably not taking their pills with a meal. Since vitamin D is one of the fat-soluble vitamins, taking the pill without eating anything with it guarantees malabsorption because there was no fat with it. I would imagine taking a pill with a low-fat meal is not likely to help either.
@David Chaplin Where did you get this information from? It seems like a propaganda from Meat industry. People with longest life-span in the world are living in Blues zones. And the result of studies of 30 year intense research shows that blue zone people are mostly vegetarian. Go search on Blues zones and you will know. People like Dr. Ali are heavily funded by meat industry and even the videos like this are part of that industry's propaganda. Anyone with basic knowledge of biology knows that human body is not designed for Meat-eating at all.
Thank you for this information. Please may I ask you a question? Is it safe to take K2 if I have been diagnosed with high LDL level. I Also take D 3 and Magnesium. My doctor thinks I need to take Statins to lower my cholesterol. and so far I have refused. My LDL reading with my last blood test was 159. I really don't want to take the Statins, but I don't want to put myself at a greater risk of heart or vascular disease. I am so confused about what I'm supposed to eat and what I'm not supposed to eat. and what vitamin s I should and shouldn't take. Hope you will be able to give me an answer. I have great respect for you as a doctor. I greatly appreciate your work in the field. I just want to do the right thing for my health.
My dr asked me take daily but my result was 126 or so , I took for a month twice a week and I got below 100. Do not use it long term and use 2 time a week . Eat healthy , lose weight . Good luck
I fired my doctor who said the same thing to me . I told him until he researches what the normal serum chemistries are for someone who eats like me, then we can talk. A year later, similar serum chemistry levels ,another doctor, told me to keep doing what I'm doing. She said she was obligated by protocol to prescribe statins but said don't fill it,you dont need it. She entered the prescription in the system but never gave it to me. I'm also in a clinical trial for my cancer who suggested those in the trial eat low carb.
I take D3 K2, magnesium glycinate. I haven't had any problems. The problem is your doctor not understanding the biochemistry of fat metabolism and energy pathways. They are being lazy. There's plenty of information out there for him to learn.
Your TG:HDL ratio is calculated on a fasting lipid profile. A calculator is here: Simply take the Triglyceride and divide by the HDL; the closer to one, the better.

Now I can't eat anything as I have gotten away from seed oils, but mostly use fruit oils... I take a statin, have the rings in my irises, Lipomas, xanthemas and floating stools. I'm doomed.
Getting major cognitive dissonance here as I've known for a long time that coconut oil don't go through the gut and instead used immediately by the liver. Mainly because coconut oil is long chain like animal fats not like seed oils which is short chain and olive oil which medium chain. It's also antifungal, antibacterial and antiviral.
my doc prescribed a statin. my triglycerides & HDL were always good, she worried about my lDL. i was reluctant to take the statin so i went to a naturopath, she put me on a mediterranean type diet & plant sterol supplement. my LDL came down from 167 to 135 in 3 months. i was happy about this but watching this presentation I’m having doubts about both the doctor’s & the naturopath’s advice. does any one have any advice on this, please?
Marylene Grant total LDL 183 and LDL 120 and was 109 and my Dr want me to lower it to 70 you you believe that ? I have high BP being treated for 25 years, and LDL always at 100 for last 35 years. But since he said A1 c is 6.9 then you should start taking metafformin.
Gamal Darwish i wonder what is wrong with some of these drs? they seem totally under the thumbs of the pharmaceutical industry. seems like most of them obviously don’t do any research other than the info that the drug companies provide for them. it’s a shame because people’s health is being put at stake. i can’t stop listening to dr. Ali’s talks. so much information, i have to start taking notes. by the way, i would love to get my LDL to 109.
We should be worried only about triglycerides cause that is the actual cholesterol/fat of blood which is harmful. So LDL and HDL both can be high they don't harm. I will find the video or the section where doctor Nadir Ali clearly mentions this.
@@gamaldarwish7580 Are you on a low carb diet and do you get your vitamin d levels checked every year? Both can cause high blood pressure if you are low in D and if you eat sugar and processed foods.
@Hew Jarsol i guess my issue was that i heard dr Ali talking about how plant sterols were not good so i went off them & within 6 months all of my numbers were higher by a LOT. my triglycerides went up too. granted i was also not really following the mediterranean diet during that time but i do intermittent fasting & eat healthy (no processed foods or bad oils etc).the last test scared me into going back on the sterols, berberine & better food choices. i’ll see when i get my next tests if this is working again.
Great talk - but with all due respect: I do have trouble following slides when "Acetyl" or "HMG-CoA pathway" are pronounced a bit casually whilst talking at SAW-speed!
Yes, oxbile. Also hear Dr Ken Berry on this. The liver makes bile, even though you don't have a gallbladder. The body will adjust to the demand for more bile as you increase your fat intake.
Keto, IF, and hunt down and eliminate all sources of inflammation, including uncontrolled allergies, old injuries, seed oils and lectins. I am in a similar situation.
Eat nothing but Salmon (Wild)and vegetables.Exercise daily.Drink plenty of water.(for 6 months)then get blood tests and see improvement.(remember nothing else but Salmon and vegetables,you can have small amount of Rice.(worked for me 100%)

Thank you Dr ALi for teaching us these things which the doctors we have would never tell us even if they know it. I have learned so much more on this subject from this video.
Eighteen years back I was advised to Atrovastatin by my cardiologist to control my cholesterol which was 298. Though I took it for a week, I stopped it. Since then I never took it. Last year when I went for blood tests it was around 275. To my surprise my new dr told it's good that I have not taken the statin. I hardly had any health problems due to cholesterol.
Yeah my dr is always mentioning Statins to me.
I stay firm and say, no.
July being retested again and probably will hear it again. Smh
You sometimes wonder if Drs have incentives for putting patients on drugs v finding a solution to a problem? I can't trust them anymore, only for acute issues.
Hello Doctor Shaji
I am very curious to hear more about your experience ( story)
How you managed your life ?… probably you have a stent or bypass or something else.
Because 18 years says many?!
This is my story.
I am 53 old man ,190 cm/ 80 kg, I got a stent 5 months ago on my artery coronary left , then my doctor sent me to statins and aspirin, but unfortunately
from statins I obtained arterial fibrillation, because my heartbeat was strong and I woke up with wet wet pajamas, at night I slept only 2-3-4 hours maximum. Only after 2 months my health started to improve, the arterial fibrillation disappeared once I started the keto diet. All this nightmare was about 2 months after the stent implantation, although I took statins and clopidogrel and aspirin only about 10 days in total, but in the meantime I was reading everything that was interesting to my heart, on internet. Most people do not want to seek the truth about their health on their own, they leave themselves in the hands of allopathic medicine, appearing in front of doctors with their bodies ready for execution.
My artery coronary left was clogged 100 % , said my doctor.
But I am asking myself: why I didn’t die , if my artery coronary was clogged 100 percent?
Before implantation of stent, I was vegetarian for 4 years, after stent I continued like vegetarian just 2 months, then I found Doctor Eric Berg , so … 2 months later after stent I started Keto Diet.
Now I am following the keto diet with intermittent fasting 16-8 hours daily.
Vitamin D3 / 20 drops per day
Vitamin k2/ 12drops per day
Acerola powder/ 3 teaspoon per day
Instead of aspirin I take a teaspoon cumin in a glass warm water before I go to bed.
And exercising.
I try to do everything, but I don’t want to go back to the statins and aspirin.
PS : I will be happy to communicate with people who have the same trouble like me.
Thank you for understanding
Dr. Eric Berg was sent by God to us as a helper for helpless people.
How old are you now?… what did you eat in 18 years?.. and so on , I am very very curious
God bless you and all your family
@@gabriel65304 perhaps you may be wondering whether am dead or alive. Nothing changed in my life much except that am bit old compared to few years back. I consider myself lucky since my engines are working without any medication except occasional keto diet, bit of exercise 10K steps, fully involved in my scientific work. Sofar no medication, no Dr visit particularly past 6 years ( of course I have done one medical test for my employment reasons). However, I tried to limit my weight within 68 kg with seasonal variation. Am 57 years_170 cm now.
No stent no statin, whenever possible only two meals
Dr. Ali , My dr. said you have to go on a statin drug .I did the research and refused. When it was learned that the oldest surviving people in an old age home had the highest cholesterol levels, about average 275 total, that told me something .
433Boomer Exactly!! 👌
433Boomer thank you for that information. it’s good to know. do you know the study it came from. i’d love to send it to my dr.
@@mjgrant1515 High total Cholesterol is GOOD for you, it's the SUGAR and carbs that damage the cholesterol and makie it bad.
@@mjgrant1515 It's the PURE Study, discussed here: Diet Doktor Podcast #15 - Prof. Andrew Mente
@@titiung carbs as grains are exceptionally bad
No waste of time for me. I've watched thousands of hours of many fantastic doctors researchers etc that are on the internet I've probably seen them all many times more than once and you put together some new stuff that is very beneficial and useful for my personal program which is pretty much low carb one meal a day exercise in the gym 3 to 5 times a week combined with hard trail run up the mountain three to five times a week combined with breath work 45 minutes intensive and I'm going to get a whoop band since I heard your last talk on HRV. Thanks so much.
Fascinating and well presented. TH-cam at its best. Thank you.
Surprised TH-cam ‘allowed’ it! But we need these truths! Thank you Dr Ali!
I keep the captions on, so I didn’t notice the wind sound until I saw your comment 🌬 ✅🙏
I wish I could listen to that video without the very bad “wind like” sound in the back ground. Can anyone fix it.?
This is an awesome presentation!!! Keep up the good work doc
It's too bad that there is all that noise in the background, but this was a riveting lecture, as I am vegan and wish to optimize my understanding of nutrition. Thank you, doctor.
Brian, are you still vegan?
Go carnivore and you will feel 20 years younger and healthier. 3 weeks in it nd im feeling like a super hero
I am grateful to you Dr first sharing your knowledge with us all . With blessings .
I think, "Nadir" in Arabic means exceptional. You are a truly an exceptional human being, I salute you full heatedly, my dear fellow. I general ,I don't care much for the doctor, I call them the lieutenant of the drug companies, I go to doctor not to get advice but for the blood test. Capitalist world operates for profit, not the life on earth.
Nadir in Arabic means "rare." He is indeed that, at least, in the medical profession!
And, yes, like you, I only care about the blood tests. Doctor's visit is superfluous!
Great information. Great teacher. Never accept things from sources that are profit-driven.
Thank you so much. Love your videos. 😀
Thank you Dr. Nadir Ali. I hope all doctors from the Philippines and over the world become more aware of these very important facts and understanding instead of relying on what they previously learned. I have consulted with several doctors, cardiologists and neurologists who have prescribed a lot of statins. I really hope more will understand your findings rather than standard pharma-influenced beliefs.
I'm Canadian ... Enjoying your instruction, Dr. N. My poor Texas sister has had intestinal bleeding -- source not found yet .. so has had a couple of intestinal surgeries, including removal of her illeum ... Now her Dr. advocates she eat "white" grains, rices ... no veg., no fats to speak of .... and he has recently put her on Humira. I feel so sad for her situation. She's 5 years younger than me.
if she can still digest fats , look into the carnivore diet, not sure how receptive she is to advice but docs are grbg
Carnivore Diet may cure her gut problems. It did mine.
😢😢😢😢
Awesome presentation, it would be great if the videos could be edited to filter out the background noise when the attendants are asking questions, all I hear is white noise instead of their questions :D
I'm hesitant to use pork fat because US farmers feed the pigs soy and corn and the omega 6 builds up in the pork fat. Best to stick to dairy and grass-fed ruminants
Keto is great for most people. I agree. Myself, however, when it comes to coffee with buttter, I puke. But you all should be doing it, most especially the version high in saturated fats. I am simply too weak.
Coffee with butter is not a requirement for Keto , right?
@@wandareynolds7674yes. One can just eat a piece of cold butter
i remember my father taking me to health lectures when i was younger, the dr giving the lectures was promoting high vegetable and grain diet, he got diabetes and lost both his legs due to complicatoins of diabetes, ever since the i knew something about what we are being told about health just isn't right. I've Been on carnivore diet for 6 years now, and everyday i get further validation that this is the correct way to eat
Hope there will be more trials on plant oils including olive and coconut oils with seed oils
I think you are just great Dr. Nadir. Rock on ! xx
This is amazing. Fantastic lecture Dr. Ali.
2nd Time watching and thanks for this, very interesting and informative :)
Incredible information. Thank you, Dr!
Fascinating. I am a little bummed about nuts. I love nuts, they were my "candy". I wish there was a network that would include doctors in y area, that share Dr. Ali's approach.
Maybe in moderation just like candy
I started taking on good fats today, and nuts and seeds was something I had plenty of today. Found other videos led me here. As I'm typing this I'm getting pain in my joints, big toe joint, hip, lower back, eye, finger that wasn't there before. No more nuts for me.
@@wigglywrigglydoo Sounds like hypochondria.
Dr. Ali is my cardiologist. I travel to see him. There are too few of them, unfortunately. Dr. Ali is a trailblazer!
Dr. Ken Berry has a list of keto/carnivore doctors. Dr. Philip Ovadia is also an interventional cardiologist. His book is called “Stay off My Operating Table.” Dr. Anthony Chaffee advocates Lion Diet.
Sir please tell about triglycerides how can we decrease them
Thank you.
Love this 👏👏👏
Dr Ali is great
Thanks Doc. Very nice explanation
Thank you SO much for this amazing information. I hope these oils come off the market once or at least until they can be bred to have fewer problems, especially less linoleic acid and sterols.
Big agra will fight it all the way.
some of them are actually cleaned with solvents to make them palatable
@@cybersal7 scary!
Astonishing talk. Top notch.
Great video. Sound is not good. I have reduced the amount of phytosterols in my diet. Less avocado primarily.
ALWAYS learning! Thank you!
Thanks.. Much more informative... Thanks and love from Bangladesh
Don't eat plant oils....people should not eat any processed food, no processed meats, no processed carbs, no processed fats (oils).
Is coconut oil and olive oil a plant oil?
I guess bacon is processed. Dmn.
@@bobcocampo They are but they are not seed oils.
This was actually noted in rabbits many, many decades ago. Great presentation. The cholesterol theory is rubbish!
Could you explain more please?
8 glasses of 8 oz water per day to with plant based diet?? Wot about U.K. we don't get as many sunny days for vital vital d. So wot kind and how much wud it be for daily needs.

@@algeriennehealthysimplelif6612 Read The Cholesterol Myth, by Uffe Ravnskov - he's both a physician and a PhD in biochemistry. The book is now on the internet for free.
Most of the advice the "medical and nutritional" industries hand out is based on what makes their associated corporations the most money, with no concern about how it actually effects the people who follow it. Most of the basic hypothetical under pinnings are obviously wrong, but it makes too much money for the corporations to admit they aren't really working.
@@trentriver Awesome! Thank you.
I wish every reference to plant oils was qualified clearly as Industrially produced vs. cold pressed ones.
Thank you for the great podcast- have just had my gene profile evaluated and have a "enhanced absorption of sterols" Perhaps some of us might not eat too much of this type of cholesterol but due to our genetic SNPs,(being prone to over- absorption of phytosterols) we need to be very careful of these processed oils and also the foods with the highest sterol content? Have found your video very useful in understanding why this "enhanced absorption" could be dangerous.
So Dr Ali can we get away with eating less plant based meals
The only bad fats found in any diet are those coming from chemically/thermally-refined oils of *any* type, or any fat (or protein) in general that has been heated/cooked past around 350-375 degrees Fahrenheit (175-190 Celsius) - which begins changing its structure in a negative way. Check the ingredient list of most prepackaged foods & you will find some type of refined oil in them. Restaurants also used refined oils to prepare almost everything. Refined oils also tend to be heavy with pesticide/herbicide residues. Easy to see the problem. I stick to properly-prepared natural/unrefined animals fats & also raw/virgin cold-pressed coconut & olive oil.
Thank you Dr. Ali, fascinating information!
Thankyou very much doctor ALI
Having stated that 'humans are uniquely adapted to burning / synthesising fat, Dr Ali, how does it then make sense to cite a study on RATS eating olive oil etc versus animal fats? How is a rat study relevant in this instance?
Awesome, thanks!!!
Excelente
I believe you should consider the effect of blood type on diet. We, as individuals, react to the same food differently. Y
If the body is making its own cholesterol, does it make enough amounts already and no more additional cholesterol is needed to be eaten?
"Did you know your insulin receptor sits on cholesterol rich lipid rafts?" goddamn
Did you know that the Region of Madrid has the highest life expectancy in the European Union, about 85 years?
Can some one suggest books which explains the things Dr. Nadir is talking about. The standard physiology/biochemistry books are written by the low-fat low-cholesterol authors. Good lecture though sound quality is very annoying.
Biochemistry by Leninger gives the basics of cholesterol biosynthesis
THE BIG FAT SURPRISE by Nina Teicholz covers a lot, too.
@@Gesundheit888 I'd rather not have to read another book please???
@@kirsteentempleton8652 Then search for her on yt.
Also Amy Berge, nutritionist, gives sound advice. Also on yt.
@@Gesundheit888 Thank you x
I do want to raise one problem with the olive oil + corn oil vs. animal fat diet study. There was no olive oil only (nevermind extra virgin which has the least processing, which maintains a healthier fat&cholesterol profile) group. Corn oil is God awful for people. No question. The work of Chris Knobbe on Omega 6 dangers has made this ridiculously clear. Olive oil is both relatively high in monounsaturated Omega 3, and the Omega 6 is not Linoleic Acid majorily, so the fat profile is very healthy.
On the coconut oil front, Dr. Ali may want to look at the studies of the Tokelau islander tribe, because 80% of their fat intake is coconut oil (and something like 55-60% of their diet is coconut meat, rest being fish), and they live long, healthy lives. Maybe they're genetically optimized for it vs. the western world, but they are a notable exception to the rule that phytosterols will be detrimental to longevity.
Remember that the pacific islanders will consume that in the raw form not cooked and the coconut cream in the meat itself is an almost perfect match for the Krebs cycle’s at 80% fat 15% protein and 5% sugar. what’s also funny is when he mentioned the Canadian diet I thought he was going to mention canola oil, which means Canadian oil
Looking at those Mediterranean populations who, for generations, have consumed large amounts of olive oil in their diets, are also considered to be the healthiest populations. To place olive oil in the same category as processed corn oil is alarmist and misleading.
I heard its the heating of Virgin olive oil is the problem. Use it cold?
@@SilverMusik333 Yep. The polyunsaturated fatty acids break down into peroxyl radicals first, and those are very oxidative in the body. Then you start generating trans fats as those radicals interact with the intact fatty acids in the pan under heat.
The perfumes and other volatile compounds also get morphed into undesirable reactive compounds too. You can saute with EVOO up to about 300 degrees before you hit this problem, but next to no one watches their pan THAT closely.
Virgin coconut oil is good up to about 400, refined up to 450 (perfumes removed). And avocado oil can be 550-600 depending on origin and processing.
By the time a pan hits 400 degrees, veggies and meat are going to be actively searing, and that's where most home cooks operate or stop, so it's the safer option if you're not a cooking enthusiast. If you want to run an experiment to check what level your stove has to be at to not have the pan exceed 300F, you can put some oil in it along with a temperature probe and find out.
How important is eating massive amount of protein as recommended by Gabriel Lyons?
❤ thank you ❤
very informative. unfortunate that the sound is bad, the words are good. can the sound be made better?
Still confused
Coconut Oil
We eat some each morning , having been told the MCT was good for the brain...
How long does it take to clear the plant sterols from your body once you stop eating plants? Once xanthelasma appears, will the body also pass animal fats based cholesterol out on the same pathway?
What about Plant Stanols? They're not as absorbable as Plant sterols. Could a plant stanol supplement prove a safer alternative in the realm of competitive reduction of cholestrol absorption in the lumen?
Book suggestion:
How Statin Drugs Really Lower Cholesterol: And Kill You One Cell at a Time
by James B. and Hannah Yoseph
@Suza It's also being discussed on facebook. The book is excellent but somewhat difficult to read. I loved it because I actually looked a lot of things up and made notes for myself while reading it. I even made drawings so that I could clearly explain it to my friends.
Thank you 😊
Is beta glucan the same?
I do mct is that not ok bc you don’t digest goes straight.
Very little discussed information. Thank you. You are not going too far either!
I am not convinced/confused of this presentation. Dr Ali is talking more about Margarine, Corn oil etc, which we know are BAD. Secondly, research shows eating avocado, Cononut and nuts, not nut oils (which is processed) is good for metabolism. I am a vegetarian (so are millions of folks) and i went on low carb 6 years ago and my diabetes vanished (A1C dropped from 8 to 5.6). Is he saying not to take statins on low carb? If so, he needs to focus more on that topic.
The noise in the background is very distracting. Unfortunate since content is so good. Is it perhaps a mike feedback?
Just started eating flax seeds and chia seeds. Now they are not good for me because they have phytosterol? How am I going to get more fibers in my diet?
You dont need fiber
Check out Dr Paul MASON from "Low Carb Down Under" - he gives a good talk on the subject. Yes, you DON'T need fibre. I'm carnivore and it's not a problem!
@@fattyfinn2505 So you never eat salads...how are your gut bacteria doing without any fiber?
You don't need fibre - as you'll find out, it's fibre that causes the problem! Also, very little is known about gut biome, in fact more is known about the moon than the flora of your gut - a bit of research will validate this statement. One thing about this idea of so-called feeding of the gut biome is an excellent opportunity for advertising slogans and parting us from our cash.
Are the phytosterols in wheat germ also not good?
I am a sterol hyperabsorber. If I have to keep my consumption of eggs, animal fat, nuts, and seeds low, then what else can I eat?
Do I have to eat mostly chicken breasts and broccoli?
Is coconut oil plant sterols?
So, veg and seed oils should be used on machines and not consumed by humans.
This is why I'm a meat based eater, no grains, no sugar, no nuts, no veg or seed oils. Once I heal from the standard American diet I'll add back in a small amount of seasonal fruits & veg
You are allowed a teaspoon of raw unheated coconut oil as a cleansing solvent per day if you are on a raw meat raw dairy diet
@@chriskazaam896 😊 thanks, coconut oil being from fruit and saturated doesn't worry me so much. Two months later though, I don't see veg in my future, maybe just maybe seasonal fruits.
I'm not raw carnivore btw, even when I eating grass fed beef, can't do it , lol.
Most fruit and veg these days whether seasonal or not are man made - GMO. Is it really worth it..?
@@No_Frills_Carnivore Very good point and it's not worth, especially since I don't like veg and I don't miss fruit.
Thanks Just Debbie, you've saved me from me 😁
@@MsVC-cs8ks aww.. you just stay healthy ❤️😊
Is this beneficial for type 1 diabetes and is this study still valid?
I retained a phrase from your speech-that human body is designed to eat plants in stress conditions only, otherwise only animals. That could be true from the phytosterols point of view...but minerals(specially Mg and K) come mostly from plants. Antioxidants have primarily vegetal origin. Love your theory of autoimmune conditions being induced by leaky gut and S.I.B.O., that is partly true but not all autoantigens have an intestinal provenience+what about cell mediated autoimmunity? I known you had to simplify your presentation to make it digestible by non-professionals...also had some issues about vit D pills not being absorbed due to low cholesterol...could you develop this idea? Overall I love this presentation(like all your TH-cam videos), can’t wait to watch your following video! Kindly, Dr Markus SORIN.
I'm not sure your point about magnesium, potassium, and antioxidants are accurate, actually. For one, there's a difference between how much of a nutrient occurs in a food, and how much of it you can absorb from that food. You're right that plant sources contain "high" amounts of magnesium, but it's often bound to glycoproteins, and the fiber in those plants also reduce electrolyte absorption. Same for potassium. Meat is actually rather high in potassium and, ancestrally, we likely got at least some magnesium and other electrolytes from the mineral content in water. I can't defend *this* point as well as I'd like, but I believe magnesium would be higher in a nose-to-tail animal diet. It's kind of hard to get high amounts of bioavailable magnesium from anywhere lol.
As far as antioxidants go, that's largely a marketing strategy, think! The "antioxidants" in plants are actually pro-oxidants; they can have a net antioxidant effect by upregulating endogenous glutathione (and SOD?) due to the oxidative stress they cause. Whatever antioxidant content plants contain, they aren't active in human biochemistry; the effects they have are by proxy. People on a carnivorous diet have robust glutathione levels; since that's the mechanism for plant antioxidants anyway, I don't see a point, especially since those same pro-oxidant compounds can have damaging effects in other areas of the body.
David it has not been proven yet on long term studies what would occur with mineral metabolism on carnivor diet vs plant based diets. Myself I’m on keto diet with lots of animal fats and I also believe this is the best approach to prevent hyperinsulinemia and its consequences. But still I need to supliment some minerals on this diet and everyone who recommends ketogenic diet take that as a must-mineral suplimentation. I don’t know what to say about vitamins and antioxidants(you might be right!)
I am on LDN
Sorin Markus " vit D pills not being absorbed due to low cholesterol" I think this issue is in reference to what he says between 24:10 - 24:45. Dr Nadir Ali doesn't actually say that it's due to low cholesterol here. The key is where he mentions that they're probably not taking their pills with a meal. Since vitamin D is one of the fat-soluble vitamins, taking the pill without eating anything with it guarantees malabsorption because there was no fat with it. I would imagine taking a pill with a low-fat meal is not likely to help either.
@David Chaplin Where did you get this information from? It seems like a propaganda from Meat industry. People with longest life-span in the world are living in Blues zones. And the result of studies of 30 year intense research shows that blue zone people are mostly vegetarian. Go search on Blues zones and you will know. People like Dr. Ali are heavily funded by meat industry and even the videos like this are part of that industry's propaganda. Anyone with basic knowledge of biology knows that human body is not designed for Meat-eating at all.
Thank you for this information. Please may I ask you a question? Is it safe to take K2 if I have been diagnosed with high LDL level. I Also take D 3 and Magnesium. My doctor thinks I need to take Statins to lower my cholesterol. and so far I have refused. My LDL reading with my last blood test was 159. I really don't want to take the Statins, but I don't want to put myself at a greater risk of heart or vascular disease. I am so confused about what I'm supposed to eat and what I'm not supposed to eat. and what vitamin s I should and shouldn't take. Hope you will be able to give me an answer. I have great respect for you as a doctor. I greatly appreciate your work in the field. I just want to do the right thing for my health.
Donna Kelley fire ur doctor
My dr asked me take daily but my result was 126 or so , I took for a month twice a week and I got below 100. Do not use it long term and use 2 time a week . Eat healthy , lose weight . Good luck
I fired my doctor who said the same thing to me . I told him until he researches what the normal serum chemistries are for someone who eats like me, then we can talk. A year later, similar serum chemistry levels ,another doctor, told me to keep doing what I'm doing. She said she was obligated by protocol to prescribe statins but said don't fill it,you dont need it. She entered the prescription in the system but never gave it to me. I'm also in a clinical trial for my cancer who suggested those in the trial eat low carb.
I take D3 K2, magnesium glycinate. I haven't had any problems. The problem is your doctor not understanding the biochemistry of fat metabolism and energy pathways. They are being lazy. There's plenty of information out there for him to learn.
Your TG:HDL ratio is calculated on a fasting lipid profile. A calculator is here: Simply take the Triglyceride and divide by the HDL; the closer to one, the better. For example: TG = 120 mg/dL and HDL=40 mg/dL. 120 / 40 = 3.0, and indicates an elevated risk of heart attack and stroke.Sep 21, 2016

Finally someone answered my question. Why has life expectancy increased when our food choices have become worse and there is more obesity.
Now I can't eat anything as I have gotten away from seed oils, but mostly use fruit oils... I take a statin, have the rings in my irises, Lipomas, xanthemas and floating stools. I'm doomed.
What is the problem with extra virgin olive oil?
Easily Oxidized, and too many phytosterols
It's plant based, too naked. Want to avoid plant eating.
6:35 Drug not controlling blood sugar but raise the insulin - ???autoimmune
The audio stream is terrible. SO much interferering back ground noises.
Great information
Getting major cognitive dissonance here as I've known for a long time that coconut oil don't go through the gut and instead used immediately by the liver. Mainly because coconut oil is long chain like animal fats not like seed oils which is short chain and olive oil which medium chain. It's also antifungal, antibacterial and antiviral.
What about palm oil? What is fatty liver then?
Would've been nice to SEE the slide where he talked about the rats who ate animal fat versus plant fat!
Avocados are good or bad for us ???
Good
Salt and garlic are good for us; how much of those do you consume daily? A little goes a long way.
my doc prescribed a statin. my triglycerides & HDL were always good, she worried about my lDL. i was reluctant to take the statin so i went to a naturopath, she put me on a mediterranean type diet & plant sterol supplement. my LDL came down from 167 to 135 in 3 months. i was happy about this but watching this presentation I’m having doubts about both the doctor’s & the naturopath’s advice. does any one have any advice on this, please?
Marylene Grant total LDL 183 and LDL 120 and was 109 and my Dr want me to lower it to 70 you you believe that ?
I have high BP being treated for 25 years, and LDL always at 100 for last 35 years. But since he said A1 c is 6.9 then you should start taking metafformin.
Gamal Darwish i wonder what is wrong with some of these drs? they seem totally under the thumbs of the pharmaceutical industry. seems like most of them obviously don’t do any research other than the info that the drug companies provide for them. it’s a shame because people’s health is being put at stake. i can’t stop listening to dr. Ali’s talks. so much information, i have to start taking notes. by the way, i would love to get my LDL to 109.
We should be worried only about triglycerides cause that is the actual cholesterol/fat of blood which is harmful. So LDL and HDL both can be high they don't harm. I will find the video or the section where doctor Nadir Ali clearly mentions this.
@@gamaldarwish7580 Are you on a low carb diet and do you get your vitamin d levels checked every year? Both can cause high blood pressure if you are low in D and if you eat sugar and processed foods.
@Hew Jarsol i guess my issue was that i heard dr Ali talking about how plant sterols were not good so i went off them & within 6 months all of my numbers were higher by a LOT. my triglycerides went up too. granted i was also not really following the mediterranean diet during that time but i do intermittent fasting & eat healthy (no processed foods or bad oils etc).the last test scared me into going back on the sterols, berberine & better food choices. i’ll see when i get my next tests if this is working again.
Great talk - but with all due respect: I do have trouble following slides when "Acetyl" or "HMG-CoA pathway" are pronounced a bit casually whilst talking at SAW-speed!

What if you do not have gall bladder anymore? Where can the body gets the bile?
Oxbile as a supplement.
Yes, oxbile. Also hear Dr Ken Berry on this. The liver makes bile, even though you don't have a gallbladder. The body will adjust to the demand for more bile as you increase your fat intake.
@@calliegal235 yep... totally accurate.
Dr Nasir if YOU got a coronary calcium scan and the lad had score of 620 and total calcium score was 810 what would YOU do ?
Keto, IF, and hunt down and eliminate all sources of inflammation, including uncontrolled allergies, old injuries, seed oils and lectins. I am in a similar situation.
Eat nothing but Salmon (Wild)and vegetables.Exercise daily.Drink plenty of water.(for 6 months)then get blood tests and see improvement.(remember nothing else but Salmon and vegetables,you can have small amount of Rice.(worked for me 100%)
