I graduated medical school many years ago in Australia. We were taught that ketones were the preferred fuel for brain, heart and much of kidneys (way back in 1978) and that not eating did you no harm. As an intern I fought against nurses who panicked when they found ANY ketones in patients' urine ans immediately doused them with sweetened fruit juice or sweet tea. Oh, how badly we've lost the plot 🤯
Isn't modern medicine such a quack. I'm ashamed to be part of it, but trying to break through the glass ceiling. If you look into the history of big pharma (legalized street drugs) & now America's medical education system, it mostly stemmed from a mega billionaire... Rockefeller. He owned most of the oil companies, and found he could make $$thousands per gallon as pills, compared to a few bucks as petrol.
Wow good to know Australian medical schools actually told the truth "once upon a time " to bad those days are over !(thanks to big pharma and the now medical INDUSTRY 🤒)
A couple when in hospital having my third child I was told I couldn't have butter with my eggs for breakfast because I was on a type 2 diabetic menu (I'm diet controlled).They said instead I had to have margarine! A few years before that when pregnant I was told I'd end up on insulin because it was inevitable. They want d me eating basically crap that would raise my blood sugar and I said when I am supposed to be keeping it lower why would I eat something that spikes my blood sugar? The dietician said 'we would rather you ate things that spike your blood sugar and we bring it down with insulin'. I was like umm no. I didn't need insulin for either of the pregnancies.
Thank you for your kind words about Sarah Hallberg. She is a woman I never had the privilege of meeting but her TedTalk was my introduction to the low carb concepts. Although I am neither diabetic nor obese I found this fascinating. I cried the day I learned of her passing. She was, indeed, truly loved. She may have died but her work and effect in the world live on. In January 2022 my neighbor told me he had been diagnosed with diabetes. I was able to recommend Sarah’s TedTalk. With that and a number of other TH-cam resources, my neighbor has successfully reversed his diabetes. Thank you Sarah Hallberg, RIP.
Karen, I was diagnosed with Metabolic Syndrome in March 2022. I then discovered Dr Sarah's famous talk on TH-cam by researching Professor Roy Taylor. In 18 minutes and six seconds she turned my life around. By August I had reversed diabetes, Lost 20kg and reduced triglycerides from 4.7. All this at the time that the Almighty was recruiting her as an angel. If anybody merits a sainthood it's Dr Sarah who should be the Patron Saint of Diabetics.
My LDL went up after 1 year of low carb. I'm 65 F and my CAC is 0 and heart function is good. All other blood numbers have improved amazingly. My moderate fatty liver is now mild. But because of the high LDL cardiologist (who is Head of Cardiology at a large hospital) recommended low dose statin. My low carb doctor feels sure, as I do, that I have large fluffy LDL, but we decided to get an LDL sub fractions blood test done. My numbers are almost the same as a recent video that Dr Paul Mason did where he explains how you can assess whether the LDLs are large or small. I gave the specialist the link to the video and he said that he will watch it. Assuming that the blood test proves what we think it will I am going to forward my blood test results to the cardiologist. I told the specialist that even if my CAC had not been zero, that I would not take a statin. I have told him that I have done my own research about this. I am very thankful for the information that is made available to us so we can make informed decisions.
Thanks for sharing your own clinical case. Another way to show how are your lipids is doing a lipoprint exam (the one that better ilustrate your ldl particles caracteristics in my opinion).
I outright refused to take any statins ever! My LDL hovers around 225 but that's not bad when my HDL was 60-something and triglycerides are too low to mention. A1c can't measure so have to use fructosamine test. BMI 18.5.
Dr. Phinney has changed my life! And I've never met him! All the hours of research and passion he has put into his work is much appreciated by me and countless others!

Working with Dr Sarah, you and your amazing research team touched my life and my health in such a positive way. And btw, I saw you nearly daily during the study, never saw you grumpy, only determined to improve health, save lives.
Thanks, Dr. Phinney. Dr. Hallberg was one of the voices that got me started in the keto diet back in 2017. I fixed my prediabetes while my very nice, but clueless, doctor sat by helplessly. Thanks to you both for putting your professions on the line for scientific truth.
Dr Phinney, Thank you to you, Dr Halberg and all at VIRTA. I have been under Virta supervision since April and have experienced the most life changing results. Thank you, thank you, thank you.Using food as my medicine, I have eliminated all my T2D medication along with all heart meds. I have dropped over one hundred pounds and seen improvement in my labs(A1c down from 8.2 to 5.6). Virta is the best method ever. You guys ROCK!
That Ted Talk changed my life! After feeling hopeless for so many years everything finally made sense! I haven’t looked back since then (8 years) I’ve completely reversed all the metabolic disease that was impacting my life. I’m so grateful - thank you Sarah for that pivotal moment RIP
Thank you, Dr Phinney. How wonderful to hear from you again! Demonstrating your love and respect for Dr Hallberg is as much a needed teaching as the content of your lecture. Blessings to you.
I remember in the 1970s, as a teen I was very curious about trying the Atkins Diet even though actually at the time I was a lacto ovo vegetarian. I did grow up eating a lot of meat however. The reason that I didn't try low-carb diet is because at the time people said that ketones were dangerous and that it was a dangerous state to be in ketosis. It's mind-boggling to me how much completely wrong information was peddled in the 1970s, and beyond. It was the beginning of the low fat high carbs era and explosion of heart disease and obesity. And we all lapped it up and were unknowingly fooled. 50 years later the truth has become clear to me. I've been a carnivore for just over 4 months now. It has absolutely helped me reduce mostly eliminate gut discomfort and joint discomfort. Still adapting, but committed to the carnivore way of eating for life. My body is reconforming and my previously borderline blood pressure is perfect. Have lost 20 lb which is about half of what I needed to lose when I started out eating strictly carnivore. Not focused on weight loss, really primarily my overall health, knowing that getting down to my proper body configuration will ultimately be part of my journey. Seems really natural to me at this point to be eating carnivore and I'm so happy that I wised up. So happy that there is great information available from great scientists and lecturers today. Thank you for this video.
Beyond blood markers, my experience with joint pain reduction occurred both immediately and then continued to surprise me several years into changing my nutrition.... there are many aspects to consider: toxins in environment (especially dental amalgams& root canals/ antinutrients in food/ conditions of gut/ eating enough saturated fat & enough digestible protein/ vitamin/ mineral deficiencies esp'ly calcium, magnesium, iodine, D3 & K2.... it takes years to "get back online" - restore true health.... thank you for all you do & deep sympathy for the loss of your dear friend SarahH
I always get so much from Dr. Phinney’s talks, even if I have to listen more than once. One thing I wish more of the pro-keto lifestyle experts would do is talk about research on the diet for those who have bad genetics, e.g. 9p21 and KIF6, for example. I’m homozygous for both (not good), APOE 3/3 (ok), hs CRP is 1.1 (slightly high), Lp(a) 54 (good), controlled Hypothyroid, etc. LDL went up on keto, particle numbers above normal, small dense LDL, too. My point is, there are a myriad of factors and it’s really confusing to puzzle out whether one is at risk doing keto when genetic factors are in play, but there is a mix of good and bad markers. Multiple tests confirm inflammation and CVD. 0:03 Looks like my current doc (functional medicine MD) wants me to do Mediterranean diet and may lean toward a statin. Trying to make an educated decision. Sorry this is long.
CTCA.? Add a few starchy vegetables if you are worried about the LDL and that will lower it. THe starchy vegetables put it up enough to lower the LDL. . Do you need to be ketogenic? Not everyone does. Just dont eat sugars and refined grains. MEditerranean low carb sounds good! Better to add starchy veges than take a statin. also no need for a statin if CTCA is clear.
This is tremendous enlightening information about what ketogenic diets do. The betahydroxybutyrate keeps coming up. Not only affects in the gut but in the brain and the Heart. Sarah Hallberg MS DO doing her TED Talk ". Suck her Thumb in the eye of the Diabetes establishment. " RIP March 22nd 2022💔🙏🏼
25:34 I’m curious as to the statement of Vit C as an antioxidant and that’s why arctic habitants do not develop scurvy. I thought that Vit C was vital as a cofactor to creation of tissues (which is why it is used in wound healing), as opposed to an antioxidant effect (with relevance to scurvy). So is there an inflammatory process which is what makes scurvy pathological? Is it both?
Brilliant. Thank you Dr Phinney. People are listening, learning and changing their lives for the better with food. And thank you for the sweet tribute to Sarah. MERRY CHRISTMAS. Blessings All.
And your video just popped up while I'm coping with my very painful inflammation and metabolic disfunction. I have had to work very hard to get my doctors to understand that my slide into " pre diabetes " is a metabolic dysfunction that led to gross body inflammation.I am your study of one, I will contact you ! I can and do maintain. 5 ketosis and higher , I can currently bring on excruciating inflammatory arthritis within hours by drinking 32 ounces of fresh goat milk. My doctors think my pain is in my head.
@@bluesky6985 Thanks, I have been studying on my own. Aquired a ketone kit and have been experimenting on myself. I have a top of the line health insurance and I have to PULL TEETH to get tests run. Docs dont know what the tests mean. I'm trying to learn but clearly the tests may not be telling us what we want to know. I'm a statistician by trade. So I am very skeptical regarding any research. I am convinced by own rapid development of breast cancer while in high inflammation that cancer is propelled by inflammation. I contacted Dr. Thomas Seyfried and he believes exactly these things. I had radiation "therapy" and my inflammation skyrocketed so I balked and refuse chemotherapy or hormone blockers. Using ketosis I have reversed other tumors that sprang up during the gross inflammation.
I don't think maintaining high ketone levels is a primary goal. Avoiding chronic high insulin is most important. I am not an expert. Check out Bart Kay's channel. If I drink milk I spread it out over days to avoid too much lactose in one day. I make a point of having very low or no carb intake per day. I don't think you need much testing if you don't eat carbs except if you are withdrawing from diabetes treatment and need to adjust your drugs.
@@Billy97ify but Carrie, the OP above, is doing it for cancer. If I recall correctly, Thomas Seyfried, Zsofia Clemens (of Paleo Medicina), and Dr. Annette Bosworth (of the Dr Boz channel) recommend a certain ratio of glucose to ketones to help deal with cancer. The blood glucose has to be low and the ketone level has to be higher than your average keto dieter. In short, higher ketone levels seem to be often recommended if one is doing a therapeutic type of keto diet, like for epilepsy or cancer.
Many people seem to end up with a high LDL and a bad Apo A/Apo B ratio on a ketogenic diet, including myself. There's all this talk about large fluffy LDLs but I'd really like to hear what people do to keep the LDL down with a ketogenic diet, I've tried increasing my exercise the last couple of months but it hasn't lowered it.
This may sound stupid, i am curious for what reason do you want to lower it? As far as I know the natural LDL is pritty high for the so called standarts. When its high it just means you have Large (buoyant) LDL. The small LDL (bad) lowers your total LDL
Again you are following the drug company narrative that LDL is a concern, yet over 50% of people suffer heart attacks with LDL at our below the ridiculous levels they deem as safe.
Sir- much respect. I would love to hear your opinion on Ketogenic diets for people that are elderly and need to gain weight. Loss of weight is one of the major predictors of morbidity; Loss of muscle mass in particular. So say you have a prediabetic that is already too low in muscle tone- how do you handle that?
I’m not sure if Dr Phinney would have a ready opinion about that. I do know that Dr Gabrielle Lyon has much experience in gerontology and she would absolutely recommend increased protein intake with as much weight bearing exercise as possible to preserve (and ideally build) muscle mass. Any increase in muscle will increase the body’s ability to handle sugar, and if a low-carb approach is simultaneously executed, the therapeutic effects would compound in a positive way.
This may be one of the situations in which adding exogenous ketones might be appropriate. We have seen results in improving cognitive functioning in elderly with dementia when adding ketone esters or ketones salts. It's quite remarkable. Using a "modified Atkins diet" to match protein requirements within reason, and adding ketones to both "spare" protein while keeping a calorie surplus without carbs AND fuel the brain and the myocardium which both have trouble utilizing glucose for fuel might be ideal. No evidence - just a thought.
I would look into a combo keto-carnivore diet (a.k.a. Ketovore). High fat carnivore with moderate amounts of protein that still allows one to stay ketogenic. The carnivore part of this equation will help support muscle building. Try 0.8 grams, up to 1 gram of protein per pound of one’s ideal body weight. Try to see what amount of protein won’t kick you out of ketosis. Keep carbs, if any, below 20 g total per day.
I have had significant improvements on all my metabolic health Bio Markers since going Keto-regardless of my Dr dire warnings that Keto was dangers i have stayed honest on the diet. Never felt this good for twenty years. weight loss energy levels ect. But you have to do Keto right and counting carbs is a must and monitoring you blood sugar and Ketone levels every day. If you not making Ketones you are not on a keto diet. For me 20 carbs is absolute max
Low Carb Down Under : would you consider doing a conference on GIST tumours..causes, diagnosis. Evaluation, and treatment options..what can one eat after surgery and how Gleevec is implemented and monitored... T&ankle you.‼⁉️🇺🇸
Don't know, but a lot of people with it, as shown in x-ray, on v low carb or carnivore diets report no pain. Pain is subjective so hard to prove or disprove in any objective way.
Excellent stuff Dr Phinney. I suspect a dive into German New Medicine would help everyone watching this as cancer isn't what we told (which should be no surprise as allopathic medicine isn't based on truth) - your doctor friend might have benefited from a different view of her situation. Dr Melissa Sell gives a good intro to GNM. All the best.
This is all so complex. Seems GPs should pay more attention to WBC. My WBC is always around 10 or higher. Reference range for normal goes to 11. And CRP >2 is elevated? When mine was 2.2, GP said it's "relatively low". Yes, compared to top of reference range of 4.9. If >2 is elevated, why is reference range so wide?
I’m fascinated with the white blood cell count linked with coronary risk. I’m am a regular blood donor and I just switched over to donating double red cells. Are the giving me back things that are harmful to me or is the risk in the underlying physiological of having a white cell blood count on the high side of normal. Maybe I’ll go back to donating whole blood.
Excellent lecture. Good info. There is one company, Santa Barbara Nutrients whose developer was/is Dr. Thomas Weimbs, producing a BHB exogenous ketone medical food specifically for people with ADPKD to preserve kidney function.
All of us need to pull all old records of blood tests, even from 15 years ago, and put them into a spread sheet. I am amazed why I chuck them away. Pay attention to white blood cell count vs liver AST, ALP result. My WBC count dropped from 5.3 to 3.5 xten3/uL. As per Paul Mason the WBC count at upper range of 11 x ten3u/L many times of cardio risk vs WBC count of 4 x ten3u/L. ALT & dropped from 69 to 18 U/L and 50 to 24 U/L. Body weight drop from 82kg to 65kg at lowest. Now I am targeting 63kg for BMI of 22.8kg. On low carb of around 50 to 70g per day for about 1.6 years. Regards.
Sarah H. had a way about her that I could very easily relate to. She helped me understand so many things about blood sugar…and played a huge part of my journey in reversing my pre-diabetes
I love at 29 minutes "euketonemia".... I did a search for it and all that came up was "ketonemia" - it figures... time to evolve & honor our biological ancestors
41:00 I think the Carnivore diet is really easy and simple to do and isn't that a ketogenic diet? I have been eating at least 95% meat for 4 years now so I suspect I have been in ketosis most of that time excluding rare cheats like 2 or 3 sweet milkshakes a year or a restaurant meat twice a year (with the carbs).
I love this very much, what I don`t quite uderstand is how such a brilliant, deep-plowing and musical author can believe in evolution.. ? how about a Superiour Creator and author giving the human kind the oportunity to find out how amazing his engineering truly is ?? And how true knowledge can be used medically with the surgeons precision ? Because this is the essense of this, and I never get tired of listening
Lanton who got to you, what is a superior creator absolutely not the cowardly christian god that practices hide&seek professionally and is really into blood sacrifices, you better research what "evolution "is all about you are incredibly uneducated by the sound of it *
Ketogenic diet did not do any favors to my lower G.I. It wasn’t till I went carnivore and got off all of vegetables and plant spices that I healed. Everybody needs to find their way. And the only way to do that is elimination diet.
It is a pity that she did not turn the same critical thinking on cancer treatment that she did for diabetes. If she had I highly doubt she would have chosen chemotherapy as a treatment.
Low carb is good, carnivore great, but the game changer for me was breathing exclusively through my nose. A little tip for whom is experimenting for his own health.
Dr. Sarah Hallberg was so inspirational that I used to watch her videos several times over because they were very influential in helping me cure my type 2 diabetes. Along with Dr. Phinney, Dr. Ken Berry, Dr. Paul Mason, Dr. Bart Kay and many others understanding foods and macros and diet has been a game changer for health.
I'm surprised with all the research for diabetes that you did that Sarah went to chemotherapy when she was diagnosed with cancer. There are so many alternative ways of treating this disease with incredible outcomes of survival. Very sad indeed!!!
I've just googled "how old is Dr Stephen Phinney" hahaha I think anyone can understand why.... I don't understand a thing of the science he describes, but he's the picture of health, and reels out names that have more syllables than I have teeth.

Sarah Hallberg MS DO doing her TED Talk ". Suck her Thumb in the eye of the Diabetes establishment. " RIP March 22nd 2022💔🙏🏼
25:34 I’m curious as to the statement of Vit C as an antioxidant and that’s why arctic habitants do not develop scurvy. I thought that Vit C was vital as a cofactor to creation of tissues (which is why it is used in wound healing), as opposed to an antioxidant effect (with relevance to scurvy). So is there an inflammatory process which is what makes scurvy pathological? Is it both?
Brilliant. Thank you Dr Phinney. People are listening, learning and changing their lives for the better with food. And thank you for the sweet tribute to Sarah. MERRY CHRISTMAS. Blessings All.
And your video just popped up while I'm coping with my very painful inflammation and metabolic disfunction. I have had to work very hard to get my doctors to understand that my slide into " pre diabetes " is a metabolic dysfunction that led to gross body inflammation.I am your study of one, I will contact you ! I can and do maintain. 5 ketosis and higher , I can currently bring on excruciating inflammatory arthritis within hours by drinking 32 ounces of fresh goat milk. My doctors think my pain is in my head.
Doctors in this country don't know anything
@@bluesky6985 Thanks, I have been studying on my own. Aquired a ketone kit and have been experimenting on myself. I have a top of the line health insurance and I have to PULL TEETH to get tests run. Docs dont know what the tests mean. I'm trying to learn but clearly the tests may not be telling us what we want to know. I'm a statistician by trade. So I am very skeptical regarding any research. I am convinced by own rapid development of breast cancer while in high inflammation that cancer is propelled by inflammation. I contacted Dr. Thomas Seyfried and he believes exactly these things. I had radiation "therapy" and my inflammation skyrocketed so I balked and refuse chemotherapy or hormone blockers. Using ketosis I have reversed other tumors that sprang up during the gross inflammation.
@@bluesky6985 true. And they will never understand anything. It goes against the economic interest
I don't think maintaining high ketone levels is a primary goal. Avoiding chronic high insulin is most important.
I am not an expert. Check out Bart Kay's channel. If I drink milk I spread it out over days to avoid too much lactose in one day.
I make a point of having very low or no carb intake per day. I don't think you need much testing if you don't eat carbs except if you are withdrawing from diabetes treatment and need to adjust your drugs.
@@Billy97ify but Carrie, the OP above, is doing it for cancer. If I recall correctly, Thomas Seyfried, Zsofia Clemens (of Paleo Medicina), and Dr. Annette Bosworth (of the Dr Boz channel) recommend a certain ratio of glucose to ketones to help deal with cancer. The blood glucose has to be low and the ketone level has to be higher than your average keto dieter. In short, higher ketone levels seem to be often recommended if one is doing a therapeutic type of keto diet, like for epilepsy or cancer.
Dr Phinney still looks awesome! And is going strong these days. Awesome talk as always
Thank you Dr. Sarah Hallberg, RIP. Your legacy will surely live on.
Thanks for this! ❤
Many people seem to end up with a high LDL and a bad Apo A/Apo B ratio on a ketogenic diet, including myself. There's all this talk about large fluffy LDLs but I'd really like to hear what people do to keep the LDL down with a ketogenic diet, I've tried increasing my exercise the last couple of months but it hasn't lowered it.
This may sound stupid, i am curious for what reason do you want to lower it?
As far as I know the natural LDL is pritty high for the so called standarts. When its high it just means you have Large (buoyant) LDL. The small LDL (bad) lowers your total LDL
Please see Bart Kay on the subject of cholesterol. But LDL isn't something worth worrying about.
Again you are following the drug company narrative that LDL is a concern, yet over 50% of people suffer heart attacks with LDL at our below the ridiculous levels they deem as safe.
Thank you for your information! It's great that people are pushing back and really making a change in the world.
Excellent . Enjoyed every minute. Very informative. Thank you .
Yes, heard her talk! Good stuff!
Sir- much respect.
I would love to hear your opinion on Ketogenic diets for people that are elderly and need to gain weight. Loss of weight is one of the major predictors of morbidity; Loss of muscle mass in particular. So say you have a prediabetic that is already too low in muscle tone- how do you handle that?
I’m not sure if Dr Phinney would have a ready opinion about that. I do know that Dr Gabrielle Lyon has much experience in gerontology and she would absolutely recommend increased protein intake with as much weight bearing exercise as possible to preserve (and ideally build) muscle mass. Any increase in muscle will increase the body’s ability to handle sugar, and if a low-carb approach is simultaneously executed, the therapeutic effects would compound in a positive way.
This may be one of the situations in which adding exogenous ketones might be appropriate. We have seen results in improving cognitive functioning in elderly with dementia when adding ketone esters or ketones salts. It's quite remarkable.
Using a "modified Atkins diet" to match protein requirements within reason, and adding ketones to both "spare" protein while keeping a calorie surplus without carbs AND fuel the brain and the myocardium which both have trouble utilizing glucose for fuel might be ideal.
No evidence - just a thought.
I would look into a combo keto-carnivore diet (a.k.a. Ketovore). High fat carnivore with moderate amounts of protein that still allows one to stay ketogenic. The carnivore part of this equation will help support muscle building. Try 0.8 grams, up to 1 gram of protein per pound of one’s ideal body weight. Try to see what amount of protein won’t kick you out of ketosis. Keep carbs, if any, below 20 g total per day.
Thank you! Excellence at its best!
thank you for such good and informative videos, you are changing my life and many others
Wow, what a great presentation!! Bravo 👏🏻👏🏻
Was CAC measured before and after? How about NMR, sd-LDL?
TG to HDL ratio is enough
Great lecture, thanks for the information 👍🏻
I have had significant improvements on all my metabolic health Bio Markers since going Keto-regardless of my Dr dire warnings that Keto was dangers i have stayed honest on the diet. Never felt this good for twenty years. weight loss energy levels ect. But you have to do Keto right and counting carbs is a must and monitoring you blood sugar and Ketone levels every day. If you not making Ketones you are not on a keto diet. For me 20 carbs is absolute max
Low Carb Down Under : would you consider doing a conference on GIST tumours..causes, diagnosis. Evaluation, and treatment options..what can one eat after surgery and how Gleevec is implemented and monitored...
T&ankle you.‼⁉️🇺🇸
How can i get a continuous ketone and glucose combo monitor?
Sarah was wonderful💙We lost her far too soon. Very regretful.
The famous Framingham Study has gone against blaming dietary cholesterol, to blaming INFLAMMATION...my cardiologist won't accept this, but I do.
Six billion people should have seen that TED by now.
What happens to people with osteoarthritis in the study?
they read the book toxic superfoods from Sally K Norton and healed
Don't know, but a lot of people with it, as shown in x-ray, on v low carb or carnivore diets report no pain. Pain is subjective so hard to prove or disprove in any objective way.
Oh wow, I never knew the awful news about Sarah Hallberg, true inspirational Lady. 👏🏻 Rest in Peace.
Excellent stuff Dr Phinney. I suspect a dive into German New Medicine would help everyone watching this as cancer isn't what we told (which should be no surprise as allopathic medicine isn't based on truth) - your doctor friend might have benefited from a different view of her situation. Dr Melissa Sell gives a good intro to GNM. All the best.
This is all so complex. Seems GPs should pay more attention to WBC. My WBC is always around 10 or higher. Reference range for normal goes to 11. And CRP >2 is elevated? When mine was 2.2, GP said it's "relatively low". Yes, compared to top of reference range of 4.9. If >2 is elevated, why is reference range so wide?
Good to see you, Dr. Phinney. ❤️ T2 reversed.
I’m fascinated with the white blood cell count linked with coronary risk.
I’m am a regular blood donor and I just switched over to donating double red cells. Are the giving me back things that are harmful to me or is the risk in the underlying physiological of having a white cell blood count on the high side of normal. Maybe I’ll go back to donating whole blood.
Excellent lecture. Good info. There is one company, Santa Barbara Nutrients whose developer was/is Dr. Thomas Weimbs, producing a BHB exogenous ketone medical food specifically for people with ADPKD to preserve kidney function.
All of us need to pull all old records of blood tests, even from 15 years ago, and put them into a spread sheet. I am amazed why I chuck them away. Pay attention to white blood cell count vs liver AST, ALP result. My WBC count dropped from 5.3 to 3.5 xten3/uL. As per Paul Mason the WBC count at upper range of 11 x ten3u/L many times of cardio risk vs WBC count of 4 x ten3u/L.
ALT & dropped from 69 to 18 U/L and 50 to 24 U/L. Body weight drop from 82kg to 65kg at lowest. Now I am targeting 63kg for BMI of 22.8kg. On low carb of around 50 to 70g per day for about 1.6 years. Regards.
Amazing information! Merry Christmas everyone!
Dr Phinney, can you add central sleep apnea to the wishlist?
Thank You!
Chronic inflammation is debilitating and hard to deal with.
amazing information thank you
You are my hero.
Sarah H. had a way about her that I could very easily relate to. She helped me understand so many things about blood sugar…and played a huge part of my journey in reversing my pre-diabetes
13:41
Do people go cold turkey and fill carnivore or do you have oxalate dumping management plan? Please share 🙏🙌
Fantastic content!
Brilliant, thanks 👍
i'd like to try this. How low carb do u need to go to get into ketosis?
It depends on the person. Some people can get into ketosis eating 50g of carbs a day. For others it's 20g or fewer.
I love at 29 minutes "euketonemia".... I did a search for it and all that came up was "ketonemia" - it figures... time to evolve & honor our biological ancestors
41:00 I think the Carnivore diet is really easy and simple to do and isn't that a ketogenic diet?
I have been eating at least 95% meat for 4 years now so I suspect I have been in ketosis most of that time excluding rare cheats like 2 or 3 sweet milkshakes a year or a restaurant meat twice a year (with the carbs).
The man, the legend! I’m happy to see him ❤
Does anyone know Dr Phinneys age?
Nice analogy of keyboards and music for the complexity of biological systems and life.
I love this very much, what I don`t quite uderstand is how such a brilliant, deep-plowing and musical author can believe in evolution.. ? how about a Superiour Creator and author giving the human kind the oportunity to find out how amazing his engineering truly is ?? And how true knowledge can be used medically with the surgeons precision ? Because this is the essense of this, and I never get tired of listening
For the sake of finding out how amazing His engineering is? :) no. He has a desire for a personal relationship with you
Lanton who got to you, what is a superior creator absolutely not the cowardly christian god that practices hide&seek professionally and is really into blood sacrifices, you better research what "evolution "is all about you are incredibly uneducated by the sound of it *
Your evil is patronizing and insidious. You are the worst kind of malefactor. That's the effect of your superstition and dogma polluting your morals.
I cringe when i hear about doctors who said they cured their patient, no you told him what to eat and not to eat and his body cured itself
Among medical doctors doing keto is like believing in flat earth theory.
The highest risk do people have that tell us to ignoriert the guidelines
Ist that strange
5:00 Sarah Hallberg sounds like my kind of human. I have changed so much about my health by ignoring medical science....
Ketogenic diet did not do any favors to my lower G.I. It wasn’t till I went carnivore and got off all of vegetables and plant spices that I healed. Everybody needs to find their way. And the only way to do that is elimination diet.
It is a pity that she did not turn the same critical thinking on cancer treatment that she did for diabetes.
If she had I highly doubt she would have chosen chemotherapy as a treatment.
Amazing what evolution “figured out.” What could it have achieved if it had a mind?
Continual Chemotherapy is deadly! xx
Low carb is good, carnivore great, but the game changer for me was breathing exclusively through my nose. A little tip for whom is experimenting for his own health.
Need to know about this more....
@vinodparate read the book shut your mouth and save your life for more info
Dr. Sarah Hallberg was so inspirational that I used to watch her videos several times over because they were very influential in helping me cure my type 2 diabetes. Along with Dr. Phinney, Dr. Ken Berry, Dr. Paul Mason, Dr. Bart Kay and many others understanding foods and macros and diet has been a game changer for health.
I thought the keto diet could cure cancer? Are people on keto not guaranteed to be cancer free?
she talk about lowering risk of cancer eating her diet, yet she died of cancer ? please explain.
What is there to explain?
If you are reversing type 2 diabetes thru diet, you are also reversing Alzheimers disease
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yea, evolution invented the liver that does around 200 distinct chemical reactions, riiiiiiggghhhtttt.
More like 500.
There is no such thing as a through food ingested hormone. If there is a hormone in food, it has been artificially put in there.
If he were handcuffed, he wouldn't be able to say anything.
I'm surprised with all the research for diabetes that you did that Sarah went to chemotherapy when she was diagnosed with cancer. There are so many alternative ways of treating this disease with incredible outcomes of survival. Very sad indeed!!!
I've just googled "how old is Dr Stephen Phinney" hahaha I think anyone can understand why.... I don't understand a thing of the science he describes, but he's the picture of health, and reels out names that have more syllables than I have teeth.
