      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 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

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 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.

  • @GeetaMaharaj
    @GeetaMaharaj 2 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    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!

    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.

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.

    Thanks for the clarification on HIIT. Because of my background in competitive swimming (many decades ago), I thought of HIIT as doing many intervals 20-30 (30X100) on 2 minute interval. You mentioned that we should only do 2-3 minutes total on HIIT. So in my mind a very very light taper. This helps me understand it better, thanks!
