Bio-medical science student here, wanted to thank you so so much! I've been struggling with this course throughout the semester, up until the point of completely giving up, not showing up on lectures nor submitting assignments. Now with the test coming up I've watched the entire playlist like 5 times, and it's such a different experience! I found out I actually kinda like it! No professor in the world could help me out the way you guys at ninja nerd did. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU'RE DOING, YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MANY STUDENTS YOU'VE HELPED! saved my degree 100%!
It's hard to understand why it's commonly thought that diabetic ketoacidosis could be caused by nutritional ketosis in healthy or non-diabetic people. Even more so that the brain "prefers" glucose over ketones simply because it uses glucose until it's exhausted the supply. Why is it not considered the bodies way of eliminating what we know as a toxic substance to get back into homeostasis? Does the body require carbohydrates (i.e., SUGAR)? NO! There is no such thing as an essential carbohydrate, unlike the fact that there are (Almost all) essential amino acids derived from bioavailable nutrient-dense animal sources unlike the non-bioavailable plant sources due to the oxalates, phytates, and numerous other plant defense compounds that cause diabetes including the aptly named type 3 diabetes ergo Alzheimer's and dementia. Likely caused by the overconsumption of carbohydrates. Is it any wonder that when the body requires a small amount of glucose for its requirements that the liver performs the process we know as gluconeogenesis? Why is it that sugar stimulates the same part of the (pleasure center) brain that cocaine and heroine do? Are they preferred by the brain as well? I'm a fan of the ninja's here, but the non-scientific remarks lend to oversimplification, which simply is not true. Let's suppose for the sake of argument that we look at the diabetics condition regarding the so-called preferred fuel (currently conventional hypothesis). Type1 diabetics are more susceptible to ketoacidosis than type 2 and as we reduce the severity down further to pre-diabetic and insulin resistant the risk is reduced likewise. Today we are likely to see 1 in 3 people with one of these conditions or at least other conditions like obesity, CHD and so on. In the '60s and 70's not so much. Conventional thinking, in other words, is not thinking, it's just groupthink. And the reason learned doctors bought into the hypothesis that cholesterol was bad from horrible pseudoscience that led to Statins, then ED medication, Metformin and the like. So now they manage diseases for profit rather than prescribe the means to cure, prevent and reverse said conditions. Do you know that it's still taught that type2 diabetes is a progressive disease when thousands of people have been diagnosed with it, then changed their diet or took up a fasting focused lifestyle and reversed it thereby curing it by definition. How bout, Fatty Liver disease or non-alcoholic fatty liver disease said to be no cure for it and yet numerous people likely anyone 30 to 40lbs overweight or eating lots of fructose (more carbs like fruit) or drinking soda ridding themselves of the diagnosis after ceasing the practice of partaking in the consumption of the so-called preferred fuel. And that's without exercise. Does the brain take-up lactate as a fuel like the heart that seems to prefer it. According to Dr. George A. Brooks research, it would appear that his lactate shuttle theory is spot on and has been a pioneer for decades over all the conventional textbooks regurgitating conventional outdated ideas. Remember, plant agriculture is so very young in human history(12 thousand years at best), which is not to say it has no place in the human diet. That being said however what is the human digestive system designed to process the best for optimal nutrition? Is it the human cells that process and take up the carbs from plant matter, or the bacteria from the gut microbiome which are located in a healthy gut after the stomach (Ph of 1.5 to 2, consisting of hydrochloric acid and pepsin) some in the duodenum but mostly in the colin where that matter ferments (rots) gets excreted by the bacteria (pooped out) as short-chain fatty acids only then available as a source of energy? And what are HCI and pepsin in the stomach to do but break down protein from animal sources like all predators? Ever wonder why you don't see meat in your own excrement, but corn, legumes and the like often enough. Sorry for the rant, but as I said I like the nerds and their presentation in particular, however, I suppose to pass an exam taught at universities that conform to bought and paid for by pharmaceutical, Coke and big food/agriculture and pesticide industries you would go further in academia than questioning bogus studies paid for by the same. Ever wonder why so many vegans suffer neurological disorders or a malnourished appearance and please don't quote the propaganda film game-changers, please. Anyway check out why to your body the no such thing as a calorie and counting them is ridiculously absurd, Gnolls.org Enjoy
I am not a med student - I'm just a 63 year old guy interested in interment fasting and how it works. I started to watch videos on this gluconeogenesis process and was stunned at the complexity. I though, "how could anyone remember this?!" But this one was so awesome it drew me in to continue listening to the explanation and to watch it again. I saw one video where another guy said, "3 or 4 enzymes were specially evolved for this process..." I thought, "is he crazy? That's not possible - it just happened?!" Anyhow, when you said, "God has provided another enzyme." It warmed my heart and made my day. Is it Zach? Thanks and whatever your name is, God Bless you. If there is no God - life doesn't mean a damn thing.

Whats amazing is he doesnt miss, he says exactly whats in the notes and its amazing. Used to be demotivated by the long minutes of these explanations but now i am craving for more. Thank you
Thank you alot. The way you simplified the process plus the drawing on the board is sure to help me remember. Please keep up the good work and more videos!
Thank you so much for explaining the Gluconeogenesis pathway. I'm a MED1 student. I was so confused in class. The professors were leaving so much information out on the slides and lectures, plus they weren't no help at all. But after listening to you for 30 minutes, I just literally mastered this pathway. You have no idea how I feel right now. I huge weight has fallen off my back. Keep doing what you do DOC! I love watching your videos.

you know that I missed metabolism classes cause I knew I will waste a tremendous amount of time with a teacher that doesn't explain very well, but now I know that I did the right thing thanks a lot ninja.
Just had a online lecture. Found the teaching so boring and hard to understand, so I switched over to this channel and watched this video instead. It's the best thing I could do to get an understanding of how this mechanism works. Thank you very much for an incredible explanation! Wish all teachers were as good as explaining this stuff as you guys are!
I'm taking the MCAT in 4 weeks and have been so behind on content review. I just wanted to say this video made learning the process SO MUCH easier. I found reading the book wasn't helping me learn as fast and with this video I had this concept down within 30 minutes. THANK YOU!!
Studying for the MCAT and your videos have been a lifesaver for learning and truly understanding biochemical processes, especially the metabolic pathways. Thank you!!!!!
Very well explained..Please introduce yourself ..Your good name..And all your videos have been highly helpful for me to overcome my phobia in biochemistry!Blessings from India!
What makes me love watching your videos the most is your smile while explaining and your passion for biochemistry. I really love this field and I will enter the International biology bowl this year with my nice team you helped me a lot in understanding Biochemistry. Keep going 💪
It's October of 2024, enrolled in my masters degree in Zoology. Animal physiology and biochemistry has brought me here. All I can say is, this video was helpful. I will be referring to it again, God willing. Insightful
I have just watched like 3 of the videos and i really wanna say a big thank you becuase i really understand, even though i was not listening in my biochemistry class
you are literally my teacher i am not just watching this as a tutor or anything!!!thank you soooooooo much for all the hard work you put in making these videos. will do anything to promote the channel. just keep up the good woorkkkkkk.
Very helpful to get a clear concept of the process...you made it super easy... Thank you so much.... Expecting many more concept clearing interesting videos from you👍👍
This video was AMAZING. I wish all my professors took the time to teach this way for us visual learners. Your great at explaining...This is the video of yours I watched but I just subscribed to the channel!!!
I have so much respect for this guy, i hope you will make millions of dollars, because you are helping so many people (students) with your videos and i really appreciate the time that you put into those videos
Hey! Thank you so much! I'm a med student and these biochemistry and anatomy videos really helped a lot! By the way, I was taught that some aminoacids could not be converted into glucose. Those were the ones that were converted into Acetyl-CoA. Why? Because we would have to use one molecule of OAA to react with the Acetyl-CoA and then we would get one OAA. So I guess those aminoacids cannot undergo the gluconeogenesis process. This is what i was taguht, but I'm not sure since you didn't mention it! Thanks again so much
+Andreia Filipa Lopes Sousa hello great question! Generally any amino acids specifically such as leucine, lysine and aromatic amino acids are converted to acetyl-CoA or acetoacetate. Due to this activity leucine, lysine, and aromatic amino acids are generally classified as ketogenic amino acids meaning they contribute to ketogenesis which is the formation of ketone bodies, however these same amino acids do have a very minor contribution to the Gluconeogenesis process!!! Hope that helps!!!
I did a 7-day water-and-electrolyte-only fasting a few years back. I can testify that the neogenesis worked when my brain and whole body relied purely on ketone body for energy about 3 days into the fasting. The body is very reluctant to do neogenesis, but it must occur to fix severe hypoglycemia. I was a first-year biology student at that time, and 72 hours into the fasting, I got into a dangerously low blood sugar level of 30 while I drove myself to walmart to buy a blood sugar testing kit. I learned to test blood sugar level at the walmart parking lot, and learned that I was in the middle of a medical emergency. Also the body is more reluctant to do neogenesis with muscle myosin than with fat because, on the 7th day of the fasting, I was able to squat exactly the same maximum weight, not 1 pond less, as my base-level performance. There was no muscle loss at all after 7 days without eating any energy. Also, jogging on the treadmill somehow promotes neogenesis because the jogging raised my blood sugar level to 90, almost a normal level for a person not on fasting for 7 days.
My honest review is that, i have never been able to understand medical science without him. He made me to love even the dreadful subject namely biochemistry by making it all make sense by visualisations. In India we have another amazing teacher by the name Dr Najeeb and he is also superb in teaching medical science subjects but unfortunately most of the part is a paid course by ninja has actually did a very great favour on students by making most of the part accessible that too in a systematic manner which actually helps you to build a strong skeleton of the whole subject and i am really proud to be called as ninjner. Thank you so much with all my heart and may you be blessed with all good without measure.
Okay, my freakin mind is blown. I came here because I am on a Keto diet and into fasting. So fascinated by this that I'm going to learn more of this nerdy stuff. How in the world does this guy keep track of all those names and processes boggles my mind.
When I heard you say "God has provided another enzyme" I almost came to tears. It's so refreshing to see someone give Glory to the Lord for His amazing creation. We are wonderfully and beautifully made. More complex than any human creation. We are not a result of random processes, but an intentional creator. God bless you in Jesus' name.
Thank you so much for this explanation! It was perhaps the best I've seen in my search to understand this amazing process of gluconeogenesis. I have been doing a Keto way of eating for the last 3 years and I have lost 43 pounds and gained amazing health and all my markers are normal. In a keto context, the dietary carb restriction produces a change in the body that uses ketone bodies for fuel, and that includes the brain, whereas before carb restriction the brain was operating on glucose. However, the change is not to be feared as in the case of Type I Diabetes, where ketoacidosis is of major concern, as it should. The level of ketosis as measured in the blood of an individual who is adapted to burn fat as the main cell fuel is not at all in the danger area of ketoacidosis, as the level of ketosis in a keto context is at most around 5 milimolers. But since this is the energy the body is running on, often times the level is lower. I do think though that the whole process is "wonderful[ly] and fearfully" designed by God and I am so thankful for His wisdom and for your great explanation. :)
'God has provided another enzyme'- it was at this point that I fell in love fully with these videos - Thank you for your knowledge, sharing and also most importantly acknowledging Who all of this complexity and beauty came from
Being someone with ADD, I find science very difficult to learn, EVEN though I EXTREMELY INTRIGUED!You are the ONLY person I have come across that keeps me focused and interested. You have great illustrations and handwriting skills. Just wanted to say Thank you! [Question/Request]: I would love to see a video of the system/function and order of use of all the vitamins and minerals we need. How the body used them & in what order. What happens if one is not functioning or being absorbed and it’s results. If that makes sense?
I am a big fan of yours. Thanks for making biochemistry easy to understand for the first time. Just a doubt in this video the channel to go out of endoplasmic reticulum for glucose is T2or T3? Thanks again for every video.

Thank you so much for this great video! You really simplified the process in a way that I can easily understand! Keep it up!
+Jimmy Shaw I'm so happy you enjoyed it and I'm so glad it helped!!
Okay, my freakin mind is blown. I came here because I am on a Keto diet and into fasting. So fascinated by this that I'm going to learn more of this nerdy stuff. How in the world does this guy keep track of all those names and processes boggles my mind.
When I heard you say "God has provided another enzyme" I almost came to tears. It's so refreshing to see someone give Glory to the Lord for His amazing creation. We are wonderfully and beautifully made. More complex than any human creation. We are not a result of random processes, but an intentional creator. God bless you in Jesus' name.
Our Lord bless him
Just stfu
You sir are a savior,
By far the best explanations of these complex pathways. Thank you
Thank you so much for this explanation! It was perhaps the best I've seen in my search to understand this amazing process of gluconeogenesis.
I have been doing a Keto way of eating for the last 3 years and I have lost 43 pounds and gained amazing health and all my markers are normal. In a keto context, the dietary carb restriction produces a change in the body that uses ketone bodies for fuel, and that includes the brain, whereas before carb restriction the brain was operating on glucose. However, the change is not to be feared as in the case of Type I Diabetes, where ketoacidosis is of major concern, as it should. The level of ketosis as measured in the blood of an individual who is adapted to burn fat as the main cell fuel is not at all in the danger area of ketoacidosis, as the level of ketosis in a keto context is at most around 5 milimolers. But since this is the energy the body is running on, often times the level is lower.
I do think though that the whole process is "wonderful[ly] and fearfully" designed by God and I am so thankful for His wisdom and for your great explanation. :)
I major Biochemistry and it hasn't been easy
Your video has saved me
19:02 He meant to say chain a Phosphate, not Glucose.
Before you watch like ......I like doing this every time on this channel
Me too ❤️❤️❤️
Thx a lot from France, the way u explain is so cool & adorable...hope I can compensate one day :) 🙏🏼
Thanks for your support. We do have a patreon account if you are ever in the position to help us out!

Thank you for putting these pathways into the greater context. SOOOO helpful.
Wow! Thank you for helping us!
one of the very few who can make biochemistry fun. Thank You .
You gave me the strength I needed to take the next steps toward my dream , Thank you so much
12:48 😭❤️❤️
Indeed God is the greatest .
I wanna trade all the professors in my country for this amazing man!❤❤❤❤Thank you SO SO much!🙏
'God has provided another enzyme'- it was at this point that I fell in love fully with these videos - Thank you for your knowledge, sharing and also most importantly acknowledging Who all of this complexity and beauty came from
Yes.
Zeus deserves much more more respect than he gets.
Bless Ninja 🙏🏻
Thanks man, you've explained in 30 minutes what I've tried to understand in years
I enjoy it ,you explaind it in great way ,you made it fun ,god bless 💙💚💛💜💖💕
+Immy Immy thank you so much for your kind words I'm so happy that we were able to help!
some people are really born to be lecturers i like your style of teaching ❤❤
Thank you for your help with these metabolic processes. Could you gear future videos toward mcat prep?
Being someone with ADD, I find science very difficult to learn, EVEN though I EXTREMELY INTRIGUED!You are the ONLY person I have come across that keeps me focused and interested. You have great illustrations and handwriting skills.
Just wanted to say Thank you!
[Question/Request]:
I would love to see a video of the system/function and order of use of all the vitamins and minerals we need. How the body used them & in what order. What happens if one is not functioning or being absorbed and it’s results.
If that makes sense?
"God has provided another enzyme."
C I T A T I O N N E E D E D ;)
@@kida4313 I caught that too and literally dropped my jaw lol. He sneaked that in so smoothly.
well now we know why he's not helping with evolutionary biology videos lol
Yikes.
I loved that sentence as well !!!!
some people are just born to teach. Brilliant! Thank you
great
you're amazing
very helpful for me
thanks from the heart 💖
4 years late and still saving med students of their mental breakdown. Thank you so much!
May Allah bless you , you're saving my grades :)
I am a big fan of yours. Thanks for making biochemistry easy to understand for the first time. Just a doubt in this video the channel to go out of endoplasmic reticulum for glucose is T2or T3? Thanks again for every video.
The free phosphate exits via the T2 transporter; the glucose exits via the T3.
I'm a student from germany, and i can understand your videos much more than anything else in german! good work
this was so helpful!
Current PCOM student here. Your videos are about to save my grade in MBM.
This person could be the organic version of Walter White
It was absolutely fun and enjoyable, thanks for being there, you're a miracle that happened in my life ❤❤
your teaching method is just love.....
i have no ambiguity after going through your lecture..
Realy, you are the most powerful doctors that I have ever seen like you
