Dr. Sten Ekberg Excellent info on the effects of exercise, hormones and the brain. I have been doing HIIT in a walking then jogging for 30 seconds every few minutes. I am 71 and have fibromyalgia so it is a challenge. Determined to keep my cognitive abilities sharp! Thank you for inspiration.
I absolutely love your videos and couldn't thank you enough for sharing as you are! Spreading the word here in Atlanta, GA! Please keep them coming! You're blessing others with your blessings given! Thank you!
I road bicycle for 3 to 4 hours at a time 4 or 5 times a week. My chest strap HR monitor shows an average HR between 130/140 BPM consistently. I have seen my HR over 200 climbing some hills (not smart I know). If I understand your point here the extended riding raises my cortisol to high for to long? I also weight train 3x per week.. I will be 68 in Aug. Thanks
Totally agree! It's so refreshing to see a doctor focused on genuinely helping people without pushing ads. We need more healthcare professionals like this making a real impact!
Hello Dr.Eckberg, my name is John, I was diagnosed with type 2 about three years ago. I’m 49 years old, and managed to get my body to just over 300 lbs. 4/4/2023 I met with my doctor,to discuss my lab results etc. My H1C was 13.2. He tried real hard to put me on insulin injections, as well as jardience,etc. I plead with him to give me 90 days to try to change my ways. He reluctantly agreed, after telling me it couldn’t be done with diet. Today is 4/13/2023. Day 9 of a radical LCHFIF with ACV. Plus added resistance training and walking to my life. It’s too early to get excited, but I’m at 285 this morning. I want to thank you sir for doing what you’re doing! It is helping the people who need it. BLESS YOU AND YOUR LOVE ONES SIR. You have helped me! Thank you!
Great job, feels good doesn’t it. I lost 100+ lbs in my early 20’s. Now I’m 35 and have slowly gained half of that back but I’m ready to get back to being healthy again. I found your story inspirational because you knew you could do it on your own, I know I can too
John, your determination is inspiring! It's incredible to see how committed you are to taking control of your health. Keep up the hard work, and remember that every step counts. Wishing you continued success on your journey-you're doing amazing!
I think what Dr Ekberg is teaching us should be a mandatory health class in all schools. I am 55 year old type 2 diabetic and just now really understand how everything ties in to overall health and well being! I also love the fact that he is not in it for the ads - truly inspiring doctor!!
It should also be taught to General Medical Practitioners, most of whom are very poorly educated about nutrition, exercise and the associated impact on health.
This is great. Last year, when I was starting to lose weight, I told my doctor that I seem to get more benefits from walking and keeping my heart rate below 130, and she tsk tsk'd at me and said I should be doing exercise that keeps me at 150+ for an hour a day (I was 100lbs overweight -- not sure how she thought I could do that). I didn't listen to her, kept walking, and I've lost 50 lbs and feel SO much better.
Thank you Arysta for sharing your story. That is great. I am so happy you have noticed a positive change. Keep it up! Might want to share this video with your doctor. It is time to overturn the "religion of calories".😄
Congratulations. Wonderful to hear from people who are successful by listening to what Dr. Ekberg is saying. Gives me hope for getting healthier myself. Thanks for sharing.
My hands are chronically cold and if prolonged start to tingle like "falling asleep." This happens even in the summer if the a/c is too high. Well they have been cold all morning today and I tried this breathing exercise for about 30 minutes straight and now they are fine. This is a miracle! Such a simple solution to a chronic problem. The human body is so amazing and so is Dr. Ekberg.
Keto and fasting got me where I wanted to be. In fact, my type two diabetes is gone (A1C 4.7). now it is time to exercise and I could not be happier with Dr. Ekberg's suggestions.

I'm diabetic for over 10 years and was given insulin and xigduo 2x per day. My wife showed me Dr Ekberg an started keto and intermittent fasting and now on my 5th week. My sugar level now is prediabetic and sometimes on normal levels. From 210 lbs now I'm 180 lbs. Thank you so much for opening my eyes and mind.
Brain benefits: 32:04 Essential: "90% of the signals that reach the brain are from movement." Physical inactivity will not only lead to muscle atrophy but also to cognitive degeneration. Thank you Dr. Ekberg - another precious piece of the puzzle. I love your aproach.

Exercise help reduce stress is by the brain releasing endorphins that associated with pain reduction and feeling of increased well-being and happiness, exercise is countermeasure to stress and anxiety, and I believe that balances hormones too .
I learned that not all doctors know everything, especially the young ones, but I listen to the ones on here, thank you. I'm pre-diabetic, I've lost 10lbs from changing the way I eat, now I just have to motivate myself yo walk alone
I had noticed that after I exercised ( pushing myself on a the elliptical machine) my glucose levels would not go down and even on some days it would go up comparing my readings before exercising to after exercising. Today I listen to you, and I keep my intensity to where I could breath in and out through my nose and after 32 minutes my glucose reading went down 32 points!!! I also start the 16-8 low carb fasting. Thank you for your help Dr. Ekberg!
I'm glad Dr. promoted weight training. Heavy weights, full body, 3 days a week, combined with light walking/cardio as he described a few times a week ..... and you're golden.
The most comprehensive video on the subject I have ever seen. Even after reading two books written by Dr Fung, there is so much to learn for me. Thank you Dr Sten Ekberg

This video deserves a Grammy and an OSCAR. Thank you Dr Ekberg, for the single best explanation I have ever seen or read on how exercise works, the effects on the body and the best ways to use exercise for health. A brilliantly concise and understandable 35 minutes that are clearly the result of long experience and work on this area. Highly recommended. I'll be encouraging lots of people to look at this.
The man from another planet, aware of him a couple of years ago, subscribed 8 months now, I'm a type 2 diabetic a year now minus the metformin, 58 years old, read over 200 books on health in 40 a year span, and this man dismantled everything I knew into a 35 min clip?

I spend so much time on it because when we get "the why" and the mechanism we become empowered for life . Comments like yours makes it all worthwhile. Some people complain that my videos are too long. Seems to me 35 min is a fair price to pay for replacing 200 books. 😄
@@drekberg I was accustomed to the 5-10 minute video, and there is some good information out there on them. At first, I almost didn't watch yours because of the length, but I am so glad I did! It's not the length that's important. It's the Information, the way it is presented, the compelling nature of it. How much actual GOOD it does for you. I take notes on your videos. I appreciate it more than I can say. And I watch them sometimes more than once. The 35 minutes FLIES BY! Thank you for all you do!
The best nutrition advice available! Dr. Ekberg is a real professional and practices what he preaches. His advice has renewed my aged, fat, stressed body back into pro athlete shape. Thank you Dr. Ekberg and keep the awesome lectures coming. Signed: Ten more years of surfing big waves 'cause of you!!!
This information is available on other TH-cam channels, books, medical studies, and school texts - but here, Dr. Ekberg presents it in such a thorough (yet succinct) and completely absorb-able way that it makes for a very powerful delivery of very transformational piece of health information. Very thankful for finding this channel and the information received!

Thank You @larrychan3984 so much for showing your appreciation and supporting the channel, and for helping me get the message of health out to the world. 🙏 🏆 😄
I ABSOLUTELY believe you are the most intelligent health and fitness person I have ever seen. I took a 4 credit nutrition course from my University and I still learned more from you. You definitely deserve an A+ for Knowledge and Delivery. ❤ 🍇 🍒 🍉 🍈 🍎 🍍🍋 🍐 🐔 🌿🐝 🍯🍔 🌭 🍦 🍌 🎂 🍩 ☕ 🍵🍸
Dr. Sten Ekberg is a truly wonderful teacher. As a Nurse there are a few things when learning about diabetes type 1&2 that I have struggled with in school but, with one short but sweet (couldn't resist) video I am not as confused about a few things. I thank you sir.
I'm 35, was 311 pounds and diagnosed as pre-diabetic. My a1c was 6.5. Thus was about 2.5 weeks ago... Now I'm 290. I have been cycling and walking. When I cycle, I focus on getting my heart rate above 150, no more than 180.....my resting heart rate used to be in the low 100s, high 90s...now I'm in the low 80s! My blood glucose in the morning is now no more than 105 and thru the day I'm under 100.... I think intensity has helped me tremendously
Absolutely the best channel on understanding the wisdom of the body. Thanks so much, Dr. Sten. I am having my entire family listening to every one of your video. 🙏🏽
I've always been an advocate of just 15 minutes of cardio with a few minutes of HIIT a day, being all you need. The idea of exercising for hours a day puts so many people off to getting healthy.
Just find something fun for you, then it's not a chore. Get out of the gym. Treadmils and stationary bikea are painfully boring. Climb a mountain, walk your dog, or take a bike ride outdoors. For me, I love rock climbing and mountain climbing. It's like a combination of physical and mental challenge,
Yeah, like personally I love the feeling that running gives. Just the simple quality of life improvements such as quieter and calmer breathing just makes me feel so much better. Plus, despite being a distance runner, I find that just sprinting to go to my bustop feels amazing and allows me to retain my fitness and health while not taking a big chunk of my day out. It really just comes to personal preference.
out of curiosity I checked how guys who hold long distance run records in age category 70+ are working out - and they are NOT killing themselves with hours and hours of training ; they also put intensity and regularity above unnecesarily big volume of single session.
i was 215 and i joined the gym. i worked 8 hours a day on my feet in a cabinet shop. i didn't eat breakfast just coffee. i had spinach and a can of sardines for lunch. after work i hit the gym and lift weights for an hour. then i went home and ate a stake with no sides, just a plain stake.... i did that for 3 months and i went down to 165. i lost 50 pounds in 3 months. i was never hungry.
You keep surprising us with your videos Dr. Sten. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 You really deserve a Nobel Prize. No words can express my astonishment. May you live a long, healthy and a happy life. I salute you and I will continue to pray for you.🤲🏻🤲🏻🤲🏻
This is absolutely wonderful! I have exercised wrong, and didn't understand what's happening to my body as I did. I had the wrong understanding behind exercising. This eye opening perspective on the reason for different exercises, and different levels of intensities for health improvement is helping me out tremendously. Dr Ekberg thank you again. Such a great teacher. Simple teachings, and easy to understand by a simple minded person like me.
Sir, I have fallen in love with your lectures. Ever since I have subscribed ur channel, I don't feel the need for clicking on another fitness video. Keep the great work up. Thank you :)
You know whenever I look at your videos. I always noticed that there are about a 1/2 an hour-long and in some instances. I'm not ready to watch a full half an hour. However, after watching about 2 or 3 of your videos, I now realize that it benefits me to watch the entire video because the explanations that you give on how the body functions are fantastic.
Good doctor. He is easy to understand, and all make sense, I never understood why torture the body with exercise is any good for the body. Finally someone teaching how to live healthy in a normal way. And thanks for no advertisement interruption.
This, along with keto diet, must be taught in schools around the world. As a lot of people are still misinformed how to keep or improve their health, while it turns out to be quite simple.
No no no --We want vast populations of docile, controllable sick people, not capable of thinking clearly. If everyone gets well what will us health care professionals do for a living? What will become of our plans to take over the world?
we all know that the education system was meant to keep us ignorant, ill informed, & purposely dumbed down... just enough to maintain our slavery to the matrix..
Great info thanks Dr. I am T2D & run on a fairly regular basis. Recently did several 4 mile runs & was so confused & e extremely frustrated why my sugar went up 20+ points after my run. Now I know - cortisol.
WHAT AN EXPLANATION!!!🎉 Thank you SO much. @64 1/2yrs and just getting back into the gym I'm realizing exactly what I need to do. 🎉❤ Yes, insulin resistance, adrenal fatigue, fatty liver (thank God the liver can rejuvenate itself through diet and exercise) I also follow your good friend Dr. Eric Berg and have been IF, low to no carb/sugar for 2yrs. I'm a HUGE fan of you both. Eternally grateful for your wisdom 😘
Thank You Jema Park so much for showing your appreciation and supporting the channel and and helping me get the message of health out to the world. 🙏 🏆 😄
I've spent 3 years now pushing iron in the gym and absolutely love it. I'm beginning intermittent fasting and low carb and the transition is rough. Recovery from intense workouts seems to be taking longer and I don't feel quite as strong. I'm only 2 weeks into this and was very carb dominant for decades. So, I guess this is par for the course, and my strength/recovery will improve as I get more fat adapted.
Thank You @manjuchowdhury so much for showing your appreciation and supporting the channel, and for helping me get the message of health out to the world. 🙏 🏆 😄
Amazing! I couldn't understand why my glucose was high after an hour of intensive workout but when I walked at normal pace my glucose went down. I discovered this when I had glucose monitoring. I am diabetic for 10 years and finally managing my glucose level. I wish I knew this 10 years ago!!!! Thank you for all you do!!!!
Dear Dr Sten I am a diadetic for more than 15 years. No one explained about insulin resistance better than you. Now l can easily plan my exercise and diet as well. Thanks a lot for this arduous effort to the mankind.
I only recently started watching this guy. but I must say everything he is saying is speaking to my intellect of what I've been experiencing all my life in terms of "roller coaster" health. I will definitely keep watching.🙂

I am marathon watching your excellent and informative videos and taking notes. I want to thank you so very much for sharing your extensive knowledge with is on TH-cam. How lucky we are! I am on a health mission. I've done this before but I was unaware of so much of what you are teaching us. I am slowly changing my lifestyle and I am so excited about it. I already feel so much better just from living this for a couple weeks now. Understanding the "why" is absolutely critical. Thank you!

15 years ago, I practiced strict heart rate training with a HR monotor during my attempt at becoming a significantly better distance runner. What the good Dr. has outlined here is precisely what was tought about the need to stay within the aerobic range to burn fat and improve endurance. 80% of my runs were purposely in the aerobic range, and a very limited amount of training was doing hill sprints, which would be HIT) and track speed work. I endorse wholeheartedly the physiology he discussed here regarding what occurs at different intensity levels. Great, great video!
Thank You @k.prasannavenkateshkasturi2158 so much for showing your appreciation and supporting the channel, and for helping me get the message of health out to the world. 🙏 🏆 😄
Thank you for this. I acquired an elliptical trainer (I affectionately call it the Hamster Machine) for use during the pandemic. I developed a series of 4 different workouts that I cycle through: 2 are aerobic, one is HIIT, and the third, the one I always hated the most, you have just taught me is counterproductive (around 70-80% for an hour, always a struggle to finish). So now I have a good reason to "fix" that workout, and probably enjoy it more.
Ive been watching your videos for about 4 years .I'm 49. Your voice is soothing and your content is beyond educational, it's life enhancing. Love listening just before sleeping and upon waking.
I am 54 years old and i admit i all along thought i knew about health not until i listened to your classes.This a total eye opener for me. Every video has something to say about every wrong notion i had about health. I wish i had known these much much earlier.
Thank you Dr. Ekberg! I have learned more from you than any of my Dr's that I have had over the years. My current PCP and nutritionist have it all wrong. I just nod my head because when I speak with them about what I have learned they dismiss it. I am on day 6 of IF and low carb along with the aerobic exercise and yoga that I have been doing for a long time and I already have lost 4 lbs and feel so much better. Tomorrow I am going to switch it up and do a 24 hr fast. Thank you so much!
another incredibly informative video from Doc Ekberg, explained in his detailed, yet amazing, way. He is pure nutrition and health gold! Thanks again, Doc!
A recent MRI showed fat in pancreas and abnormal liver enzymes. Dr. said see you in 6 months. Found your channel and began your recommendations. I am sleeping through the night, more active through the day, and now have hope for a future. Deepest gratitude and thanks.
Thank You @steve680703 so much for showing your appreciation and supporting the channel, and for helping me get the message of health out to the world. 🙏 🏆 😄
Thank you Sir for sharing this information. This will help us to maintain everything. My husband is really having a hard time controlling his sugar. I will surely apply this information.
Thank you so much Dr Sten! - you have explained so much to me in your videos and most especially this one! Years of exercising incorrectly kept me being a total loser weight wise! I suspected it was hormonal and not just insulin resistance. This video also explained why my very fit and healthy friend who does spin classes twice to three times a day can't shed the stubborn (albeit a little amount of excess) weight she's had for years and why she is constantly exhausted (even on low carb). She obviously is in a constant high cortisol state. This video is a life changer! Thank you so very much for caring for others. This is true leadership in action.
I’m a healthcare professional but learning so much from you. You present accurate information in easy to understand ways. Love your practical advice. Favorite TH-cam channel, binging your videos!
Dr. Ekberg I am so grateful for your free information on health. I've been working out for 43 years. I am 58. The past year I've been doing push-ups, body weight squats and bw rows with a pole in the doorway 3-4 sets in a circuit training method. I will give your hiit a try with bodyweight or dumbbells/resistance bands. Thank you
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I finally got the info I need. At 73 I'm pain and meds-free so must be doing things right generally. But couldn't get good information on exercise.
Elizabeth K- I can relate to you. I am a bit younger than you and appreciate this information on how to exercise properly. I have an exercise bike, but not interested in a spin class! The bike will monitor my heart rate. I like to use that in bad weather and get outside when I can. But I'm concentrating on dropping some weight in a healthy way before I put too much stress on my body. Yoga and stretching are a kind way for me to start with a low carb diet.

(23:07)" ...there's a difference between fitness and health." Those are words of wisdom that the body has always let one know but most refuse to listen.
Thank you so much for this video. I wish these fundamental truths were taught to children and young adults. It is a shame that at 72 I am learning the basics of how to exercise and what the benefits are. I think the world would be a happier place if people understood how to manage their minds and bodies. Thank you agan.
I joined your channel a couple of weeks ago I think; and I really enjoy your method of explaining and the fact that you speak at an excellent rate and how you elaborate everything. Thank you, very much! I really appreciate it
I been doing HIT for over 40 years. I read a book by an East German trainer in the mid 70s who preached HIT. I used to run. I can't run any more but I changed to lap swimming. One way I swim hard. On the way back I swim slowing to catch my breath. And, repeat a few times.
Dr Ekberg you are amazingly knowledgeable and so good at imparting this information to us. I have been listening to your videos and finally am able to put it all together in my head and put it to practice. Over the last three months I’ve incorporated fasting from 2 meals a day to omad now and very low carb except for broccoli and leafy greens. I’ve been strength training 3-4 times a week just for about 10 min or so. I’ve been walking at an aerobic rate daily. I’ve been doing kettle bell swings for hitt but just for about 3-4 minutes to get growth hormone and keep cortisol low. Rest of the time it’s all aerobic. Recently I heard your talk on slamming down the weighted ball as being the best for hiit so I’ve started doing that. I feel amazing I’ve lost 20 lbs in 3 months and I’ve done it all in the most healthy way possible according to your videos and I am so grateful. I cannot understand how no other doctor seems to have this knowledge much less help their patients get healthier. I am trying yo share all this with people in my life and it’s not easy. If doctors don’t fully understand hormones and metabolism then it’s surely difficult to expect the general public to get it. I’m a pharmacist and I cringe at all the medications we dispense out especially insulin with utter disregard for long term damage it’s causing. I’ve been meaning to thank you every single day…you are helping millions of metabolically unhealthy people and you deserve the Nobel prize for your noble work. You are indeed a gem and one in a 7 billion!
How lucky I am I found your Channel Dr.. Sten. I am learning all this new information doctors don't know or choose not to tell us. I knew nothing about hormones until I found your videos. I am making changes in my life style. Thank you so much for explaining so clearly all your classes. I translated one of your videos about insuline resistance into Spanish for my family in Ecuador. Maybe one day your videos are translated in Spanish too. I highly appreciate you Dr. Sten.

This ones a keeper... meaning a lot of educational information!! Its extremely helpful, but, for me, I’ll need to listen to it a couple more times to absorb all it has to offer! Wow...thank you so much Dr. Ekberg!! A GREAT video!!
I'm probably the poster child for cortisol 🤪 So glad I found this because I've been trying to figure out what is better given everything. I think I could listen to you all day, always awesome. Thank you!!!!
I went from an A1C of 11.6 to 7.8 in under 5 weeks. I changed how I ate, rode my bicycle 5 days a week for 1-1/2 hours and I tried to eat within a 6 hour window. I have another test in a month, hoping to be in the 5’s. Thank you again! Triple.
Dr Sten, I am so glad I have found you and your channel. I have been watching many videos from different doctors they are all great but you are the best. I am 39 and have no health issue, simply want to keep a healthy lifestyle, I am doing OMAD at the moment, it has been 4 days I lost 800gr in two days. All your videos are wonderful, I can't stop watching every single of them. I am truly grateful for you and your contribution. Thank you, thank you, thank you 😊🙏
Would love to understand his analysis and recommendations for someone who wants to lose weight and at the same time be more athletic. I started my weight loss program weighing 240lbs and dropped 50lbs *before* I found this channel. Running every day for 30 minutes and readjusting my food intake moderately (I did reduce my carb intake but not near keto levels). Then I hit a plateau at 188lbs and now I found this channel, and after one week of combined runs, counting (the right) calories, and some intermittent fasting, I started losing weight again at a significant rate. I don’t have diabetes, and don’t know if I have insulin resistance, but would like to reach my target weight of 130lbs. I would also like to train for a marathon since I discovered that I love running and love the benefits running has on my health. I would like to understand for instance how to combine intermittent fasting with a 30 to 40 minute daily run, assuming I don’t want to give up my runs (I also do a cool down walk after each run for 10-15 minutes). If I train for a marathon, should I eat some carbs before running to provide the fuel, and then go on the intermittent fast? Questions like that, etc. Thanks!
Just finished my 48-hour fasting now, planning for a 72-hour fasting. It's amazing. I did a fast walk while fasting for 45mnts. Remember to take enough water to avoid cramps and a slight headache. Thanks, doc.
Thank you Dr. Ekberg for your easy to understand videos. I've started jogging lately at a rather slow pace (7:00m/km) but I always find my heart rate in the 180s and 190s. By the time I finish a run I usually feel energetic enough to run another kilo and I don't feel any soreness or fatigue the next day, nor have I ever felt dizzy or collapsed. I am 32 years old. I have lost 35+ kg over the past 7 months on a low carb diet and intermittent fasting. My A1C was 5.2 last time I checked down from 9.0 back in November 2018, without any medication. I would appreciate it if you could shed some light on why my heart rate would skyrocket after rather moderate exercise. Thank you again.
I'd like to know as well, i have exactly always had the same problem. Even after a year of constant Jogging 3-4 times per week up to 10k, slowly increased to that distance, my Heartrate never slew down.

I have a request can you talk about Crohn's disease please.
I road bicycle for 3 to 4 hours at a time 4 or 5 times a week. My chest strap HR monitor shows an average HR between 130/140 BPM consistently. I have seen my HR over 200 climbing some hills (not smart I know). If I understand your point here the extended riding raises my cortisol to high for to long? I also weight train 3x per week.. I will be 68 in Aug. Thanks
What do you think of strength training and it's impact on cortisol?
almost 2m subscribers and not an ad in his videos. wish there are more doctors like him that's actually helping people.

Hello Dr.Eckberg, my name is John, I was diagnosed with type 2 about three years ago. I’m 49 years old, and managed to get my body to just over 300 lbs. 4/4/2023 I met with my doctor,to discuss my lab results etc. My H1C was 13.2. He tried real hard to put me on insulin injections, as well as jardience,etc. I plead with him to give me 90 days to try to change my ways. He reluctantly agreed, after telling me it couldn’t be done with diet. Today is 4/13/2023. Day 9 of a radical LCHFIF with ACV. Plus added resistance training and walking to my life. It’s too early to get excited, but I’m at 285 this morning. I want to thank you sir for doing what you’re doing! It is helping the people who need it. BLESS YOU AND YOUR LOVE ONES SIR. You have helped me! Thank you!
Great job, feels good doesn’t it. I lost 100+ lbs in my early 20’s. Now I’m 35 and have slowly gained half of that back but I’m ready to get back to being healthy again. I found your story inspirational because you knew you could do it on your own, I know I can too
Good job
John, your determination is inspiring! It's incredible to see how committed you are to taking control of your health. Keep up the hard work, and remember that every step counts. Wishing you continued success on your journey-you're doing amazing!
I think what Dr Ekberg is teaching us should be a mandatory health class in all schools. I am 55 year old type 2 diabetic and just now really understand how everything ties in to overall health and well being! I also love the fact that he is not in it for the ads - truly inspiring doctor!!
Doc makes sense. Help me to live longer healthy
It should also be taught to General Medical Practitioners, most of whom are very poorly educated about nutrition, exercise and the associated impact on health.
They would tell you is fatphobia
You're absolutely right my friend..👍
He is my favorite, he is great
Doc Ekberg is by far the best person to explain and make the common person understand the relations between food and sickness
This is great. Last year, when I was starting to lose weight, I told my doctor that I seem to get more benefits from walking and keeping my heart rate below 130, and she tsk tsk'd at me and said I should be doing exercise that keeps me at 150+ for an hour a day (I was 100lbs overweight -- not sure how she thought I could do that). I didn't listen to her, kept walking, and I've lost 50 lbs and feel SO much better.
Thank you Arysta for sharing your story. That is great. I am so happy you have noticed a positive change. Keep it up! Might want to share this video with your doctor. It is time to overturn the "religion of calories".😄
Congratulations! Way to take control of your health! 💪. Stay strong.
Bravo! Also that proves to always use our own brains, not the one of others. 👍 😉
Way to listen to your own body Arysta!
Congratulations. Wonderful to hear from people who are successful by listening to what Dr. Ekberg is saying. Gives me hope for getting healthier myself. Thanks for sharing.
i am truly grateful to Dr Ekberg. He is just fantastic as a teacher and has a calm and highly informative style. I wish I could give him 10 likes
He has a heart of gold
I just gave him another like so I keep sharing his videos with my friends who are struggling with weight and health maybe we’ll get 8 more for him
My hands are chronically cold and if prolonged start to tingle like "falling asleep." This happens even in the summer if the a/c is too high. Well they have been cold all morning today and I tried this breathing exercise for about 30 minutes straight and now they are fine. This is a miracle! Such a simple solution to a chronic problem. The human body is so amazing and so is Dr. Ekberg.
Keto and fasting got me where I wanted to be. In fact, my type two diabetes is gone (A1C 4.7). now it is time to exercise and I could not be happier with Dr. Ekberg's suggestions.
Type two dibetes gone by keto n fasting...ok.....now exercise for brain😉
Congrats! Very happy for you :)
@@AbdulSattar-of3ou fats are the source of energy for the brain. You should up your intake so yours will actually do something instead of just farting out idiom.
Happy for you, please share your experience with me about keto, I'm typ 2.
Your A1C is great congratulations!!
Wish the Dr was my school teacher back in the day! I absorb was is said so easily due to the calm, relax & clear delivery; love this channel👌

Better late then never
You look not a day older than 25
I learn how to live.....
I'm 41 too, from no pain no gain era, I'm on keto and keep walking now. Thanks.
I'm diabetic for over 10 years and was given insulin and xigduo 2x per day. My wife showed me Dr Ekberg an started keto and intermittent fasting and now on my 5th week. My sugar level now is prediabetic and sometimes on normal levels. From 210 lbs now I'm 180 lbs. Thank you so much for opening my eyes and mind.
Brain benefits: 32:04
Essential: "90% of the signals that reach the brain are from movement."
Physical inactivity will not only lead to muscle atrophy but also to cognitive degeneration.
Thank you Dr. Ekberg - another precious piece of the puzzle.

Exercise help reduce stress is by the brain releasing endorphins that associated with pain reduction and feeling of increased well-being and happiness, exercise is countermeasure to stress and anxiety, and I believe that balances hormones too .
I learned that not all doctors know everything, especially the young ones, but I listen to the ones on here, thank you. I'm pre-diabetic, I've lost 10lbs from changing the way I eat, now I just have to motivate myself yo walk alone
I had noticed that after I exercised ( pushing myself on a the elliptical machine) my glucose levels would not go down and even on some days it would go up comparing my readings before exercising to after exercising. Today I listen to you, and I keep my intensity to where I could breath in and out through my nose and after 32 minutes my glucose reading went down 32 points!!! I also start the 16-8 low carb fasting. Thank you for your help Dr. Ekberg!
I'm glad Dr. promoted weight training. Heavy weights, full body, 3 days a week, combined with light walking/cardio as he described a few times a week ..... and you're golden.
And then there's the HIIT once a week
The most comprehensive video on the subject I have ever seen. Even after reading two books written by Dr Fung, there is so much to learn for me. Thank you Dr Sten Ekberg

Dr Fung is the only other person I know who actually explain anything instead of just restating facts.
Our society teaches us "no pain, no gain." He is rewriting the book and we all can learn from him.
No pain, no gain is still true.
It applies to fitness and muscle growth.....but not for weight loss.
No pain no gain-- says more about muscle building and less about being healthy for life.
@@yes350yesyou need to listen to the video again
This video deserves a Grammy and an OSCAR. Thank you Dr Ekberg, for the single best explanation I have ever seen or read on how exercise works, the effects on the body and the best ways to use exercise for health. A brilliantly concise and understandable 35 minutes that are clearly the result of long experience and work on this area. Highly recommended. I'll be encouraging lots of people to look at this.
Best I've seen
The man from another planet, aware of him a couple of years ago, subscribed 8 months now, I'm a type 2 diabetic a year now minus the metformin, 58 years old, read over 200 books on health in 40 a year span, and this man dismantled everything I knew into a 35 min clip?
Thank you Winston Jacobs. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it.

I spend so much time on it because when we get "the why" and the mechanism we become empowered for life . Comments like yours makes it all worthwhile. Some people complain that my videos are too long. Seems to me 35 min is a fair price to pay for replacing 200 books. 😄
@@drekberg I was accustomed to the 5-10 minute video, and there is some good information out there on them. At first, I almost didn't watch yours because of the length, but I am so glad I did! It's not the length that's important. It's the Information, the way it is presented, the compelling nature of it. How much actual GOOD it does for you. I take notes on your videos. I appreciate it more than I can say. And I watch them sometimes more than once. The 35 minutes FLIES BY! Thank you for all you do!
I've watched this multiple times and it's totally changed my workouts. Please do more exercise videos.
The best nutrition advice available! Dr. Ekberg is a real professional and practices what he preaches. His advice has renewed my aged, fat, stressed body back into pro athlete shape. Thank you Dr. Ekberg and keep the awesome lectures coming. Signed: Ten more years of surfing big waves 'cause of you!!!
This information is available on other TH-cam channels, books, medical studies, and school texts - but here, Dr. Ekberg presents it in such a thorough (yet succinct) and completely absorb-able way that it makes for a very powerful delivery of very transformational piece of health information. Very thankful for finding this channel and the information received!

Thank You @larrychan3984 so much for showing your appreciation and supporting the channel, and for helping me get the message of health out to the world. 🙏 🏆 😄
I ABSOLUTELY believe you are the most intelligent health and fitness person I have ever seen. I took a 4 credit nutrition course from my University and I still learned more from you. You definitely deserve an A+ for Knowledge and Delivery. ❤ 🍇 🍒 🍉 🍈 🍎 🍍🍋 🍐 🐔 🌿🐝 🍯🍔 🌭 🍦 🍌 🎂 🍩 ☕ 🍵🍸
This.
He's just the best, in all deparments. Clear and concise, easy to understand and totally legit. I love all his videos.
And he does not souns mon9tonous at all... it's a pleasure to listen to him.
Yes!
Don’t try to apply this knowledge at the university, you will fail your course ;-)
Dr. Sten Ekberg is a truly wonderful teacher. As a Nurse there are a few things when learning about diabetes type 1&2 that I have struggled with in school but, with one short but sweet (couldn't resist) video I am not as confused about a few things. I thank you sir.
I'm 35, was 311 pounds and diagnosed as pre-diabetic. My a1c was 6.5. Thus was about 2.5 weeks ago... Now I'm 290. I have been cycling and walking. When I cycle, I focus on getting my heart rate above 150, no more than 180.....my resting heart rate used to be in the low 100s, high 90s...now I'm in the low 80s! My blood glucose in the morning is now no more than 105 and thru the day I'm under 100.... I think intensity has helped me tremendously
Property diet is what you need to lose weight. Exercise will keep your body, mind, and heart strong.
Absolutely the best channel on understanding the wisdom of the body. Thanks so much, Dr. Sten. I am having my entire family listening to every one of your video. 🙏🏽
I've always been an advocate of just 15 minutes of cardio with a few minutes of HIIT a day, being all you need. The idea of exercising for hours a day puts so many people off to getting healthy.
Yes this is so practical and doable.
Just find something fun for you, then it's not a chore. Get out of the gym. Treadmils and stationary bikea are painfully boring. Climb a mountain, walk your dog, or take a bike ride outdoors. For me, I love rock climbing and mountain climbing. It's like a combination of physical and mental challenge,
@@azb2010 people only seem to find the motivation when the Dr. tells them they need to exercise and eat right or they are going to die.
Yeah, like personally I love the feeling that running gives. Just the simple quality of life improvements such as quieter and calmer breathing just makes me feel so much better. Plus, despite being a distance runner, I find that just sprinting to go to my bustop feels amazing and allows me to retain my fitness and health while not taking a big chunk of my day out. It really just comes to personal preference.
out of curiosity I checked how guys who hold long distance run records in age category 70+ are working out - and they are NOT killing themselves with hours and hours of training ; they also put intensity and regularity above unnecesarily big volume of single session.
i was 215 and i joined the gym. i worked 8 hours a day on my feet in a cabinet shop. i didn't eat breakfast just coffee. i had spinach and a can of sardines for lunch. after work i hit the gym and lift weights for an hour. then i went home and ate a stake with no sides, just a plain stake.... i did that for 3 months and i went down to 165. i lost 50 pounds in 3 months. i was never hungry.
Thanks 4 sharing
Thank you Dr Ekberg for your insightful videos. When would be the ideal time to exercise, before a meal or how long after a meal?
You keep surprising us with your videos Dr. Sten. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
You really deserve a Nobel Prize.
No words can express my astonishment. May you live a long, healthy and a happy life.
I salute you and I will continue to pray for you.🤲🏻🤲🏻🤲🏻

This is absolutely wonderful! I have exercised wrong, and didn't understand what's happening to my body as I did. I had the wrong understanding behind exercising. This eye opening perspective on the reason for different exercises, and different levels of intensities for health improvement is helping me out tremendously. Dr Ekberg thank you again. Such a great teacher. Simple teachings, and easy to understand by a simple minded person like me.
Sir, I have fallen in love with your lectures. Ever since I have subscribed ur channel, I don't feel the need for clicking on another fitness video. Keep the great work up. Thank you :)
Thank you Shoaib Changezi. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it.
You know whenever I look at your videos. I always noticed that there are about a 1/2 an hour-long and in some instances. I'm not ready to watch a full half an hour. However, after watching about 2 or 3 of your videos, I now realize that it benefits me to watch the entire video because the explanations that you give on how the body functions are fantastic.
Good doctor. He is easy to understand, and all make sense, I never understood why torture the body with exercise is any good for the body. Finally someone teaching how to live healthy in a normal way. And thanks for no advertisement interruption.
Totally right. I started walking 30 min in Pandemic and notice improved balance in overall health. Will start HIIT now.
I feel like you've been enlightened by Buddha to help the world with your vast and powerful knowledge. Thank you, Dr. Ekberg.
This, along with keto diet, must be taught in schools around the world. As a lot of people are still misinformed how to keep or improve their health, while it turns out to be quite simple.
No no no --We want vast populations of docile, controllable sick people, not capable of thinking clearly. If everyone gets well what will us health care professionals do for a living? What will become of our plans to take over the world?
no more obesity if we're aware with these kind of methods
You need to eat 4 dougnuts aday, sugar crisps for breakfast, the $10,000,000.00 sugar industry wants
your money!
we all know that the education system was meant to keep us ignorant, ill informed, & purposely dumbed down... just enough to maintain our slavery to the matrix..
I was thinking exactly the same! To our doctors , as well....
You have taught me so much- I love OMAD - I have a feast in 2 hours and there is less washing up 💖🇦🇺👋😊
Great info thanks Dr.
I am T2D & run on a fairly regular basis. Recently did several 4 mile runs & was so confused & e extremely frustrated why my sugar went up 20+ points after my run.
Now I know - cortisol.
Im like you .so what can i do?
WHAT AN EXPLANATION!!!🎉 Thank you SO much. @64 1/2yrs and just getting back into the gym I'm realizing exactly what I need to do. 🎉❤ Yes, insulin resistance, adrenal fatigue, fatty liver (thank God the liver can rejuvenate itself through diet and exercise)
I also follow your good friend Dr. Eric Berg and have been IF, low to no carb/sugar for 2yrs. I'm a HUGE fan of you both. Eternally grateful for your wisdom 😘
Thanks!
Thank You Jema Park so much for showing your appreciation and supporting the channel and and helping me get the message of health out to the world. 🙏 🏆 😄
I've spent 3 years now pushing iron in the gym and absolutely love it. I'm beginning intermittent fasting and low carb and the transition is rough. Recovery from intense workouts seems to be taking longer and I don't feel quite as strong. I'm only 2 weeks into this and was very carb dominant for decades. So, I guess this is par for the course, and my strength/recovery will improve as I get more fat adapted.
Keep up the good work I spent a lot of time the knowledge Stenn has comes from all the best sources using real science
Good on you, Redfish. I'm 57 and looking to fall into a similar routine, after 5 years away from working-out. Hope that it's not too late for me.
Thanks
Thank You @manjuchowdhury so much for showing your appreciation and supporting the channel, and for helping me get the message of health out to the world. 🙏 🏆 😄
One of The best instructor on TH-cam!! God loves you, don't give up on your dreams
Amazing! I couldn't understand why my glucose was high after an hour of intensive workout but when I walked at normal pace my glucose went down. I discovered this when I had glucose monitoring. I am diabetic for 10 years and finally managing my glucose level. I wish I knew this 10 years ago!!!! Thank you for all you do!!!!
I love his brain and kindness of sharing....thanks doc!
Dear Dr Sten
I am a diadetic for more than 15 years. No one explained about insulin resistance better than you. Now l can easily plan my exercise and diet as well. Thanks a lot for this arduous effort to the mankind.
I only recently started watching this guy. but I must say everything he is saying is speaking to my intellect of what I've been experiencing all my life in terms of "roller coaster" health. I will definitely keep watching.🙂
And notice nobody ever argues everything he says is confirmed by any of the best sources I've looked into
Great Service you do Doctor. Leading us to Light from Darkness. Love you so much for your selflessness.

I am marathon watching your excellent and informative videos and taking notes. I want to thank you so very much for sharing your extensive knowledge with is on TH-cam. How lucky we are! I am on a health mission. I've done this before but I was unaware of so much of what you are teaching us. I am slowly changing my lifestyle and I am so excited about it. I already feel so much better just from living this for a couple weeks now. Understanding the "why" is absolutely critical. Thank you!

15 years ago, I practiced strict heart rate training with a HR monotor during my attempt at becoming a significantly better distance runner. What the good Dr. has outlined here is precisely what was tought about the need to stay within the aerobic range to burn fat and improve endurance. 80% of my runs were purposely in the aerobic range, and a very limited amount of training was doing hill sprints, which would be HIT) and track speed work. I endorse wholeheartedly the physiology he discussed here regarding what occurs at different intensity levels. Great, great video!
I could just hug this brother doc right now, gosh how wrong i have been exercising 😢
Thanks!
Thank you @stevewhalen6973.😄
This is the best quality information on weight loss and exercising I've ever seen. Thank you Doc !!

Thank You Ferdi DelaPaz. I'm so glad you found it valuable and I appreciate the feedback. 😄
May God bless you for all the wonderful work you are doing. Knowing there is a doctor who looks for natural ways to heal the body is so refreshing!
He knows what he is talking, he is an Olympian. Thanks Dr for the insight.
What about a trampoline? Rebounding?
I appreciate, my aim at reducing my weight by 10kg
This Doctor is the most informative, truthful and helpful doctor I've ever known. Thank you Dr. Ekberg for your help. You are cherished.
Thank you for this. I acquired an elliptical trainer (I affectionately call it the Hamster Machine) for use during the pandemic. I developed a series of 4 different workouts that I cycle through: 2 are aerobic, one is HIIT, and the third, the one I always hated the most, you have just taught me is counterproductive (around 70-80% for an hour, always a struggle to finish). So now I have a good reason to "fix" that workout, and probably enjoy it more.
Ive been watching your videos for about 4 years .I'm 49. Your voice is soothing and your content is beyond educational, it's life enhancing. Love listening just before sleeping and upon waking.
Thank you Dr Ekberg, I’m a new student and I have learnt a lot from you about the body and how it works. Thank you for you service to the humanity.
I am 54 years old and i admit i all along thought i knew about health not until i listened to your classes.This a total eye opener for me. Every video has something to say about every wrong notion i had about health. I wish i had known these much much earlier.
Fast 16 hrs a day lost 35 lbs in 6 months, walk daily, this guy is 100% correct
Thank you Dr. Ekberg! I have learned more from you than any of my Dr's that I have had over the years. My current PCP and nutritionist have it all wrong. I just nod my head because when I speak with them about what I have learned they dismiss it. I am on day 6 of IF and low carb along with the aerobic exercise and yoga that I have been doing for a long time and I already have lost 4 lbs and feel so much better. Tomorrow I am going to switch it up and do a 24 hr fast. Thank you so much!
another incredibly informative video from Doc Ekberg, explained in his detailed, yet amazing, way. He is pure nutrition and health gold! Thanks again, Doc!
A recent MRI showed fat in pancreas and abnormal liver enzymes. Dr. said see you in 6 months. Found your channel and began your recommendations. I am sleeping through the night, more active through the day, and now have hope for a future. Deepest gratitude and thanks.
One of the most helpful video on YT! Thank you so much for explaining it so well, Dr. Ekberg! 🙏🏽
Thank you Asmah K. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it. I try to give the larger more holistic picture in all my videos.
So well.

Thank you Smitley THE SCRATCHINCARDS. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it.
Thank you so much Dr Sten! - you have explained so much to me in your videos and most especially this one! Years of exercising incorrectly kept me being a total loser weight wise! I suspected it was hormonal and not just insulin resistance. This video also explained why my very fit and healthy friend who does spin classes twice to three times a day can't shed the stubborn (albeit a little amount of excess) weight she's had for years and why she is constantly exhausted (even on low carb). She obviously is in a constant high cortisol state. This video is a life changer! Thank you so very much for caring for others. This is true leadership in action.
I’m a healthcare professional but learning so much from you. You present accurate information in easy to understand ways. Love your practical advice. Favorite TH-cam channel, binging your videos!
Dr. Ekberg I am so grateful for your free information on health. I've been working out for 43 years. I am 58. The past year I've been doing push-ups, body weight squats and bw rows with a pole in the doorway 3-4 sets in a circuit training method. I will give your hiit a try with bodyweight or dumbbells/resistance bands. Thank you
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I finally got the info I need. At 73 I'm pain and meds-free so must be doing things right generally. But couldn't get good information on exercise.
Elizabeth K- I can relate to you. I am a bit younger than you and appreciate this information on how to exercise properly. I have an exercise bike, but not interested in a spin class! The bike will monitor my heart rate. I like to use that in bad weather and get outside when I can. But I'm concentrating on dropping some weight in a healthy way before I put too much stress on my body. Yoga and stretching are a kind way for me to start with a low carb diet.
This is the most concise info I've found on what constitutes aerobic, anaerobic, and HIIT, also how I should approach my workouts, and why. THANK YOU!
An incredible wealth of valuable information....thank you!

(23:07)" ...there's a difference between fitness and health." Those are words of wisdom that the body has always let one know but most refuse to listen.
Thank you so much for this video. I wish these fundamental truths were taught to children and young adults. It is a shame that at 72 I am learning the basics of how to exercise and what the benefits are. I think the world would be a happier place if people understood how to manage their minds and bodies. Thank you agan.
I joined your channel a couple of weeks ago I think; and I really enjoy your method of explaining and the fact that you speak at an excellent rate and how you elaborate everything. Thank you, very much! I really appreciate it
Just discovered your teachings and is like I discovered a treasure .Thank you ,you teach so similar to my father's teachings
Me too. He’s just wonderful isn’t he. So much fact. So beautifully presented.
I been doing HIT for over 40 years. I read a book by an East German trainer in the mid 70s who preached HIT. I used to run. I can't run any more but I changed to lap swimming. One way I swim hard. On the way back I swim slowing to catch my breath. And, repeat a few times.
Dr Ekberg you are amazingly knowledgeable and so good at imparting this information to us. I have been listening to your videos and finally am able to put it all together in my head and put it to practice. Over the last three months I’ve incorporated fasting from 2 meals a day to omad now and very low carb except for broccoli and leafy greens. I’ve been strength training 3-4 times a week just for about 10 min or so. I’ve been walking at an aerobic rate daily. I’ve been doing kettle bell swings for hitt but just for about 3-4 minutes to get growth hormone and keep cortisol low. Rest of the time it’s all aerobic. Recently I heard your talk on slamming down the weighted ball as being the best for hiit so I’ve started doing that. I feel amazing I’ve lost 20 lbs in 3 months and I’ve done it all in the most healthy way possible according to your videos and I am so grateful. I cannot understand how no other doctor seems to have this knowledge much less help their patients get healthier. I am trying yo share all this with people in my life and it’s not easy. If doctors don’t fully understand hormones and metabolism then it’s surely difficult to expect the general public to get it. I’m a pharmacist and I cringe at all the medications we dispense out especially insulin with utter disregard for long term damage it’s causing. I’ve been meaning to thank you every single day…you are helping millions of metabolically unhealthy people and you deserve the Nobel prize for your noble work. You are indeed a gem and one in a 7 billion!
I agree that he is very humble man who offers these useful information for free. God bless him.
How lucky I am I found your Channel Dr.. Sten. I am learning all this new information doctors don't know or choose not to tell us. I knew nothing about hormones until I found your videos. I am making changes in my life style. Thank you so much for explaining so clearly all your classes. I translated one of your videos about insuline resistance into Spanish for my family in Ecuador. Maybe one day your videos are translated in Spanish too.
I highly appreciate you Dr. Sten.
I have never heard / seen a more valuable lesson about exercise. This is phantastic! Thank you so much.

This ones a keeper... meaning a lot of educational information!! Its extremely helpful, but, for me, I’ll need to listen to it a couple more times to absorb all it has to offer! Wow...thank you so much Dr. Ekberg!! A GREAT video!!
Just amazing! I play tennis often and continue to be overweight. I kept telling my tennis buddy's something was a miss and now I know why! Thank you!
I'm probably the poster child for cortisol 🤪 So glad I found this because I've been trying to figure out what is better given everything. I think I could listen to you all day, always awesome. Thank you!!!!
Each of your videos I watch, I feel that ‘this is the best’. Thank you so much for your presentation; very organized and clear to the point.
Thank you so so much for helping me turn my Diabetes around. I really appreciate your time and expertise. Triple.
I went from an A1C of 11.6 to 7.8 in under 5 weeks. I changed how I ate, rode my bicycle 5 days a week for 1-1/2 hours and I tried to eat within a 6 hour window. I have another test in a month, hoping to be in the 5’s. Thank you again! Triple.
@@Vffr1It has been over a year since your last, How are you doing?
Dr Sten, I am so glad I have found you and your channel. I have been watching many videos from different doctors they are all great but you are the best. I am 39 and have no health issue, simply want to keep a healthy lifestyle, I am doing OMAD at the moment, it has been 4 days I lost 800gr in two days. All your videos are wonderful, I can't stop watching every single of them. I am truly grateful for you and your contribution. Thank you, thank you, thank you 😊🙏
Would love to understand his analysis and recommendations for someone who wants to lose weight and at the same time be more athletic. I started my weight loss program weighing 240lbs and dropped 50lbs *before* I found this channel. Running every day for 30 minutes and readjusting my food intake moderately (I did reduce my carb intake but not near keto levels). Then I hit a plateau at 188lbs and now I found this channel, and after one week of combined runs, counting (the right) calories, and some intermittent fasting, I started losing weight again at a significant rate.
I don’t have diabetes, and don’t know if I have insulin resistance, but would like to reach my target weight of 130lbs. I would also like to train for a marathon since I discovered that I love running and love the benefits running has on my health. I would like to understand for instance how to combine intermittent fasting with a 30 to 40 minute daily run, assuming I don’t want to give up my runs (I also do a cool down walk after each run for 10-15 minutes). If I train for a marathon, should I eat some carbs before running to provide the fuel, and then go on the intermittent fast? Questions like that, etc.
Thanks!
Just finished my 48-hour fasting now, planning for a 72-hour fasting. It's amazing. I did a fast walk while fasting for 45mnts. Remember to take enough water to avoid cramps and a slight headache. Thanks, doc.
He breaks it down and makes it fun to learn
When I open one of your videos I can't take attention away, it is so interesting. Congratulations ! It would take a lot of people like you.
Thank you Dr. Ekberg for your easy to understand videos. I've started jogging lately at a rather slow pace (7:00m/km) but I always find my heart rate in the 180s and 190s. By the time I finish a run I usually feel energetic enough to run another kilo and I don't feel any soreness or fatigue the next day, nor have I ever felt dizzy or collapsed. I am 32 years old. I have lost 35+ kg over the past 7 months on a low carb diet and intermittent fasting. My A1C was 5.2 last time I checked down from 9.0 back in November 2018, without any medication. I would appreciate it if you could shed some light on why my heart rate would skyrocket after rather moderate exercise. Thank you again.
I'd like to know as well, i have exactly always had the same problem. Even after a year of constant Jogging 3-4 times per week up to 10k, slowly increased to that distance, my Heartrate never slew down.
I would get an ECG to make sure
