Last month I got a call from a friend wanting me to go on a vacation to Australia (I live in San Diego) Three WEEKS later I get an email saying this lady is in hospice care with end stage pancreatic cancer. I just went for my first blood test ever at age 75. I told the doctor (MD) I fast and she asked me "why do you fast?". I'm part of the 6.8%.
@@Vokdor1it varies through out the month. I did in and out of fasting because of hormones .. I am wrapping up a 42 hr fast today it’s my 3 rd this month other days it varies from 13-24 hrs
For a month I ate only every other day. On my feeding day I ate 2 meals: no sugar, no flour. Felt great, no hunger, more energy. Now I'm eating daily, but only 1 meal/day. No sugar, flour foods (breads, pasta, pancakes, bakery items). Few oz. meat/fish per meal, lots of veggies, salad. Never felt better. I only have healthy foods in the house and don't eat in restaurants.
Same with my mom, same age except heart failure. All the symptoms of beri beri. As long as big (f)arma is in control, nothing will change. Thank you for your honesty & courage Dr. Means.
I’ve listened to a vast number of metabolism presentations, but this stands out. Dr. Means’s eloquence and economy of expression is a great gift to us all.
This is so great! I would love to see you interview THOMAS TADLOCK and his wife DR. BROOK GOLDER! They are heavy on the science as it pertains to metabolism and cell nourishment!! ❤❤❤
My favorite go-to sweet treat is dark chocolate chunks and nuts (typically walnuts or pecans). I get the nuts and chocolate in the baking section. Peanut butter & chocolate are amazing. It was my craving when preggo with both kids. 😋
your mother's story is MY story ... my baby weighed 10.2 ... she died 10 years ago of breast cancer ... I was told in July that a CT found a cyst on my pancreas ... same story!
A typical Korean meal includes all the five. Yes, they eat rice, as well. i’m going to suppose that when all the five are available, rice becomes something of a palate cleanser, and they eat less of it.
I have a question. I have been carnivore since May 2024. Previously my basal “normal” temp of 97.6. Now seems like my normal is 98.6-99 degrees. Is this normal and is it an indication of my body returning to better mitroc health?
Those 40 trillion cells are not only doing trillions of chemical reactions per second, they also all have membranes that are made of cholesterol. The notion of taking a statin to strip away a good bit of the cholesterol and not do serious long term damage to the organs and body in the process,.....is ridiculous.
There are cutting edge scientists who have associated depression and anxiety with an unhealthy microbiome. Could be worth having a microbiome screen 🥰🙏
Nutritional Psychology is an immerging field. Look up all you can about Dr Chris Palmer. He is a Harvard Psychologist treating a wide range of psychological conditions with primarily ketogenic diets, but it is keto with a some of the other metabolism boosting lifestyle interventions. Like sleep, exercise, and circadian rhythm adherence. He has seen improvements in OCD, anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, and schizoaffective disorder. Oftentimes these were treatment-resistant that suddenly became more manageable when the patient was observant on a ketogenic diet. But anything you do that improves your overall metabolism, will improve your overall health. Good luck. I'm scared to death of the depression meds, so I try and manage exclusively on diet and lifestyle. But it certainly isn't easy.
Dr. Georgia Ede has written a book, Change Your Diet Change Your Mind. She is a Harvard trained psychiatrist who has helped many students at Harvard get off all their Psych Meds by changing their diet. She has really done groundbreaking work.
@@KeepTheFaith777 - I’ve tried 3 - Zoloft is the best for me from a mental health perspective. However - you have to take it for at least 3 weeks to feel anything and you experience all the side effects in that period. In addition - it’s like having an off button on the weight/ metabolism . (I lost 34 kg - 80 pounds when I went off it without trying and gained it all back when I started to retake it.) Lexapro turned me into a zombie - I was sleeping all day. Agomelantine - great for sleep - zero effect for depression/ anxiety. I also take activated B6 and zinc picolinate for pyrrole disorder. I think there needs to be more discussion regarding mental health medication. I personally tried every diet and supplements under the sun. My diet/ lifestyle is not the problem. My genes are the problem!!
Refer to her conversation with Dr Andrew Huberman . They have provided a complete guide from how to ask your DR to prescribe these tests and what tests one should get.
Perfect word for our so-called medical institutions from drug companies right on up to hospitals/Dr's. I am totally addicted to Dr Means. She is soo knowledge driven.
Good luck to you! Maybe listening to Dr Michael Greger here on TH-cam can provide helpful suggestions. Also Dr Andrew Weil might have some good talks on healthy aging.
Great guest. Love Dr Casey Means.

How often do you fast and for how long?
I have been fasting 15 years and I’m 51…
@@amymsmith2540 sorry, what I meant was how many days do you fast for and how frequently do you fast?

13 days is unbelievable, crazy how fast it can end. You never know

In the UK the NHS doctors get paid when they prescribe meds for diabetes, high cholesterol and BP meds
Wow - is that true ? - I never knew this 😮
After checking the biomarkers, I am in the category of metabolism healthy group 😊 will keep it up with my diet
I have just radically changed my diet, etc. How quickly can I hope to feel results.
Along these lines? Just weeks.
Very fast imo. Just connect to your body sensations.

Now that CHEM TRAILS are so prominent, my thinking is that NOTHING can actually be organic anymore..... Yes?
I do 16:8 or an 18:6 IF and am not hungry in the morning either. My markers are all good except my HDL which is high. I am working on that.
Rn and health columnist here: HDL is the GOOD cholesterol and is heart protective. You’re good!
So true that we are buffeted with the “scary place” AND so many lack of faith in God, there in lies the problem.
Fight or flight fear is harmful 24/7. Faith calms our fears. We were made to trust and have faith in our maker.
39:00 "we've got the antioxidants in basically everything but the salmon"
doesn't salmon contain astaxanthin, an antioxidant?
Yes 🤔

What about when you take meds that affect your metabolism like anti depressants - can’t live without them - but they effect my weight?

May I ask the depression meds you have found to be effective for you?

Turmeric, not tumeric.

Thought she was going to say the system is “predatory”.

Yet people doubt there's a God. Madness.

Not sure there is much here for me at 83 and trying to gain weight. I do not want to lose weight.
