I'm 68 and it was my mother era that brought in the food pyramid. who can eat 6 to 8 servings of grain everyday. No wonder we get fat. I remember when Kellogg's sold the multipack cereal, as kids we were so excited by this. Now so many varieties of cereal, sugar for breakfast. I was always thin until reached 40s, gradually reached 200 pounds at 5ft 8 medium frame. I knew I had to do something as my mother died of dementia at 8 and 2 siblings gone to cancer. Both died before 60 years of age. I now eat 2 meals a day, eat until I am full and get on with my day. Really low carb, meat based diet. I have a garden and fruit trees. A side of vegetables for each meal. Eat fruit from trees when outside for long period of time doing gardening. I do not eat grains or sugar or seed oil or anything in a box.. Now 145 pounds, with muscle on my frame from eating a meat based diet. I feel free, lots of energy.
Important information! Thanks! I worked in assisted living, and saw the residents eat sweets and drink juice at every meal. I saw many go downhill with Alzheimer's. Disturbing and sad!

Lunch and dinner both provide a cake ice cream or pudding. OMG I look like an abuser of my father to ask them to cut out completely the sugar. Their first Question is ‘is he a diabetic?’ NO. I ask , can you tell me what nutrient is in sugar. Please answer me
@TraciPatterson-oz3jx I believe it! And it makes you the 'bad guy' if you try to restrict sweets. I recently saw a hospital menu at the hospital near me. It recommended a minimum of 30 carbohydrates per meal. I have 30 carbs in a whole day.

You bring up a great point about finding others who want to live the same. Doc mentions support groups and there are none around me. I watch people around me eat and it's all processed garbage sugar laden food like substance - people look at what I eat and think I'm a weirdo - I guess the point I'm trying to make is that good clean food is medicine, and anything that comes in a package, a box, or out of a window is pretty much a death sentence, AND,,, all my female friends who are older than me have memory and beginning dementia issues however they don't see the diet/food connection, they've all bought the story line that it's hereditary. I don't know what to make of it.
What made you decide to take action against your emotions that wanted to continue the sugar train of living? I care a lot about a good friend of mine and told her that cereal in any form is not good for her, and she got really upset and telling me that there’s nothing I’m telling her that she doesn’t know already. She’s into snacks too. And call those highly processed purchases healthy snack. Wonder what I can say or ways that I can say it so that she registers that they are not good for her. She’s growing out of most of her clothes, but insisted that she’s happy that she’s not getting fatter, while she is.

Good for you, Anne. I am the same way, too. Unfortunately, my husband has Alzheimer's, and he is also a sugar addict. I have done what I could to reduce his intake, but one can only do so much, and then it's their choice.
@@charliepan4055 vegans tend to to get sick more and die younger. Not that I know the stats on those numbers now but a few years ago a leader in a vegan retreat opened up the event by first saying let’s talk about the elephant in the room. The elephant was why is vegans getting cancer more than meat eaters. For me listening to him via video on you tube , I thought maybe this is why a lot hof our vegan people look sick all the time. That was about 20 years ago , maybe they take more vitamins now , I have no clue , I still don’t trust that diet , it seems to unhealthy. I never tried to look into the vegan diet since that time . Maybe they improved how to do it . I say like the bible says , everything in moderation. Although I would think the Bible is talking about natural foods.
This makes so much sense. My uncle died of Alzheimer’s disease. But, years before this problem he was suffering from Gout and I recall him eating a lot of sweets. I don’t know if he had diabetes, but possibly he was diabetic.
Oh my goodness! You got to interview Dr. Johnson! First time I heard his name was from Dr Perlmutter 4 or 5 years ago. Been a fan ever since! All my research led me here!
Dr Boz, Wonderful video. My husband has ftd dementia and the precursor of high uric acid and type 2 diabetes, This was a fantastic Interview,Thank You. I have changed my hubby to a ketogenic diet a few months ago. It has helped him a small amount. Keep up the great work. Much love from Naperville Illinois.
Agree 100%! However, I must stress that she is such a great resource & inspiration, with tons of very useful info for better health, especially those of us with insulin resistance issues. That said, I can't ignore the fact that she is also a stunningly beautiful woman!
I was a geriatric nurse for 22 years until I had a stroke at 59 years old in my sleep. I watched elderly sugar addicts slowly get worse until they died. So many MDs dance around the fact that sucrose is the most addictive drug in the world and it’s also very destructive to humans because it spike insulin. This repeated spiking of glucose and insulin damages the endothelial cells in our heat and blood vessels(endothelium). The body tries to repair this damage with cholesterol and fibrin which start hardening of the blood vessels(arteriosclerosis). These cholesterol-fibrin deposits can break away to form clots in the small capillary arteries in the vital organs. 3 minutes without oxygenated blood caused cells to die(in the brain and elsewhere). The BS about fructose is spread by the US sucrose cartel. Fructose does not create visceral fat. Sucrose does!; resulting in obesity steadily increasing until death. As DR Boz points out, stay away from sucrose in any form! Toddlers and teenagers can survive the progressive cell damage because their bodies are still producing stem cells which replace those dead cells but they are slowly getting addicted to sucrose. At 16 to 20 years old, stem cell production stops and cardiovascular disease-obesity rapidly increases until death if this addiction is not broken. This DR’s book was probably published by the sucrose cartel to continue misinformation of consumers because they don’t care if their product kills you; they just want you money! Ketosis is your friend. Fatty meat, eggs, and grass-fed butter/cream are your friends! Stay with recommendations by Dr Bos! Remember to guard against misinformation.
Dr. Atkins talked about how sugar causes disease long ago. He said it caused obesity and heart disease. Many people ignored him, because they want their sugar, hence these diabetic nutrition diets that are "balanced", meaning you still get carbs, and "portion control", meaning you get small amount, but that sets up cravings and keeps the insulin coming. Agree about ketosis.
Thank you Dr. Bosworth! I learn so much from you. You have this amazing way presenting information in a simple way that makes it easy to understand. You inspire me, and I believe all your followers too, to remain motivated to eat health.
I’m on holiday visiting my daughter in Mexico (I’m British) and I’ve really struggled to stick to my carnivore lifestyle whilst shopping and going out socially. But all the videos helped me stay on track. In 2 weeks I’ve only had beef, eggs,butter and water and a little milk at bedtime and when we’ve been out I’ve learnt to stick to mineral water and not eat if I couldn’t find anything on a menu. It’s been hard but my body’s looking and feeling really great. I have struggled with the altitude here and the long flight wasn’t easy but I KNOW if I’d relaxed my routine I would have been in more pain and gone back weeks. It’s not easy when we’re with family and on vacation - if you’re struggling watch more videos and eat large carnivore meal mid or late morning until you’re stuffed before you head out for the day and it will be easy to refuse things because you won’t be so hungry if hungry at all. Good luck everyone. I’m so glad when I get back home to the U.K. I don’t have to repair any damage I did in Mexico.
Dr. Boz - That was such a great informative video. You always dispense real information that can and will save a lot of heartache in the future by paying attention today. Thank you!
Recently I got ill and could not eat. I am a person that drops weight too easily and find it hard to maintain my body weight. I eat mostly keto under normal circumstances. To make a long story short, I started drinking coke just to get some calories. That did not make much difference though. After a few days, I bought some off the shelf soup and added this to my diet. Still nothing solid. Imagine my shock when I started gaining weight. According to the calories I should have lost weight, but the opposite happened. Apparently the combination of fructose and some processed food is the ticket, at least in my case. Lesson learned
Ok the cocoa story... these sound like my kinda ppl. 😂 I recently watched a video of yours Dr Bos saying you really wanted to interview Dr Johnson. I am glad it worked out. I didn't want this one to end. 😊
Dr. Boz, you are gorgeous in red! I have been type 1 diabetic 56 years and am having insulin resistance now. I also have a bad memory and think it could be the start of dimentia. I am only 5-10 pounds overweight.
In a recent video that I saw (IIRC, it was Dr. Ben Bikman's video on uric acid) there was speculation that ketones may in some way that's not understood yet counteract the effects of uric acid. No proof yet or real research, just a theory, but that may be why some people on a ketogenic diet may have high levels of uric acid and yet not have the bad effects such as gout.
My aunt has alzheimer's for about 5+ years now. Thin all her life. Low fat, high carbs, works out all her life. High cholesterol and high blood pressure and is NOT t1d or t2d, yet alzheimer's. I watch her 3x a week. She eats sad diet now high carb high sugar is on blood pressure and cholesterol meds. When i get there, she is out of it. Just sitting there and can barely converse she is up but not moving and participating in life. When i feed her carnivore on Tues, by Wednesday she is up and dressed and has conversation and participates in life. By Thursday even though she will speak on same subject 15 times in 5 minutes she is starting to say things like "You've told me this before" . Her nurse has seen a difference in my aunt and making notes in her file. I do not see her bloodwork. But her family has had new blood work done. No new meds. Not sure if testing for uric acid. Can she be insulin resistant? Not sure if her regular doctor tests for IR. TIA
I am sorry to hear about this. This get your aunt off statins, one of their side effects is dementia which you described. Statins cross the blood-brain barrier and stop the brain from making cholesterol. That is dangerous because your brain needs to produce cholesterol to remain healthy and for new neurons to be developed. It is great that you are starting her on a ketogenic diet that will lower her blood sugar and insulin resistance, which underpins dementia. Lastly, please note that large buoyant LDL cholesterol is not a health risk. Oxidated LDL cholesterol which becomes small dense LDL cholesterol is what is dangerous. Avoiding seed oils is another key factor.
My belief is that she can be insulin resistant. It is possible. I don't know how her doctor reached the conclusion that she doesn't have diabetes but there's a possibility where, just by looking at her glucose levels, she could be considered not diabetic but her insulin could be sky high, therefore insulin resistant. In this case her brain could be the first and the most affected by the insulin resistance and one of the first signs of diabetes. Maybe, supplementing with BHB, MCT 6, 8 oil fractioned (not 10) and Omega 3 in addition to the ketogenic diet could have good results. And of course if she will have good results meaning low triglycerides and high HDL maybe she should consider reducing stains progressively. They're really horrible for the brain. Of course, all the ideas mentioned in my comment and the others must be discussed with her doctors and care takers. Good luck!
I love this conversation, but I have a question. If carbs lend to insulin resistance, obesity, alzheimers, and such, then why weren't Americans a hundred years ago over run with these struggles?They were eating bread, potatoes, and sugar as staples of their diet.
People had to physically work to live. People didn’t have washing machines that did all the work for them, dishwashers, vacuums, cars, holes were dug by hand, not by a big piece of equipment… list goes on and on. They burned up their carbs on a daily basis.
Fantastic interview Dr Boz. So much information to process. It's crazy to hear the benefits of Allulose in this podcast but it's not available in Australia even when it's benefits are so obvious.
I had chronic gout for 15 years or so and needed allopurinol to avoid the attacks. I still had to avoid certain foods. A few years back I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. I switched to Keto and after about a year I no longer need to take gout tablets (or metformin). I am still diabetic but have an A1C in the normal range. I still have a relatively High Uric Acid level, but it is less than it was 3 years ago and I have not had a gout attack even though I eat much more red meat. I pretty much concluded that the gout is caused by a combo of carb and uric acid levels.
I am 59 and T2 (using metformin). I have been, for the most part, keto for many years, but could not lose weight no matter how strict my diet was. Earlier this year I started on GLP-1 and have had some great success. And then about 3 months back, I got my first gout flare (bizarre). The discussion you are having with Dr. Johnson makes me think all my issues are somehow connected. Recently I did have new blood work done and got some good news. My A1C had fallen to around 4.2, overall cholesterol came in at around 91. I have gone from 230+ lbs. to around 165 lbs. (that was the GLP-1 and super clean keto eating). Recently did an InBody scan and my bodyfat is now only 19%. I still use the GLP-1 and metformin, but my morning blood glucose now shows in the high 80s to low 90s. The last 10+ years have been frustrating, but I do see improvements in my overall health…Finally!!!
that is what happened to me. I dropped the carbs, and then my foot started to blow up. I told my brother that I think that I am getting gout, but he didn't believe me. Because the ketone bodies can block uric acid excretion. I didn't know there was such a link between uric acid and fructose till this video. thank you.
Do a GLP1 if you don’t mind losing muscle as well as fat. Maybe you have too much muscle and sarcopenia isn’t a concern? But…. if you think being strong and healthy is better, just go low carb.
Ok so now I'm putting 1/2 tsp cocoa baking powder in my coffee to see if the epicatechin will help to lose fat. I only have 5 lbs to lose but I'll try it. Thank you for another great video!
Very Interesting. Sardines, liver food are rich with Uric asid. Meanwhile these are good for kito diet, is it right? So, "eat sardines (to put insuline under control) but dont eat sardines (due to uric asid). Kind of contradiction ...
My husband on keto lowcarb diet for years. We eat a lot of meat, mainly beef. But recently we discovered his uric acid is really high 8+ mg/ dl. His HbA1C is pretty good 4.9 -5 ish %. He has gout flares occasionally when he eats a lot of seafood or has a beer. We have no idea how to fix it.
I was just curious if anyone has any feedback for me. Please note I am working with my GP. I’ve been doing keto for 4 months and have loved it. Lost 60lbs, back to working out and also work in intermittent fasting. To be vulnerable, not always eating enough calories and worry about some nutritional deficiency. Last CBC - some numbers went in the good direction, but my platelets and wbc came in low. I think it’s thrombocytopenia and also have giant platelets. Of course cancer is my worst fear but curious if it’s something on keto I need to tweak or if this could be even related. Love any thoughts. God bless all. ❤
The more education you do, the more likely it is that you have a higher income. Protein and good fat is far more expensive than breads, pasta, rice, cakes, cookies, puddings, and sweets. Just financial fact.
Insulin is wickedly expensive. My mother taught me that I would either leave my money at the market or at the pharmacy. I would add that it’s market and good health or pharmacy and disease.
Polyol pathway shows sorbitol as the intermediary between glucose and fructose. Does this explain why diet sodas are strongly linked to overweight? it's low cal but if in the end it's fructose..... ❓❓❓
I'm 66 and have been around. I posit that Americans know exactly what they are doing to themselves, buying swimming pools quantities of sugary drinks in a year. They know it and do not care. Contrast with my wife of 30 years and her family's culture in Japan, where obesity is truly rare. Until there is an economic incentive in America, such as increased medical care pricing and medical insurance pricing for the obese, forget it. Just talk.
Love Dr Rick Johnson. First heard him on his Podcast with Peter Attia.. ( worth a listen). I am stuck with High Blood Sugars. My Mom was Type 1 along with her brother and Sister. I also am a Carrier of Fructose Intolerance Gene . I tend to run higher Uric Acid there is something to the genotype type. Also APOE 4/4 but neither Mom or DD Alzheimer’s but I know I am on the wrong side of this thing I need help. Got put on insulin before getting a positive GAD Angibkdy. Immediately gained 30 pounds. Menopause during pandemic. I was successful with Virta and when I can work out fasting and get to about 1.2 ketones numbers seem to regulate. Anyone give me best lowering blood glucose lowering not insulin. Insulin made me fatter and more insulin resistance Help Help Help
@@soniasbooks Yes, carnivore diet, but have your doctor monitor your insulin. Also, drink lots of water to keep your blood salt concentration down, get some sun exposure, optimize vitamin D and exercise intensely as possible.
My husband has Alzheimer's, gout, diabetes,high blood pressure and glaucoma. He had a brain scan and the Dr said he has brain shrinkage of a much older man. He did go through the stage of losing weight. I wonder what stage he is in. He won't have anything to do with changing his diet and doesn't believe he has to change. I wish my example of healthy eating and being in ketosis would rub off, but he has a very stubborn mind of his own. You can lead a horse to water but……..I have wondered about the effect of ketosis on gout but i have heard many stories that people's gout has been cured by being in ketosis. I do have him on MCT Oil and drinking alkaline water which has helped his gout not to flare up as often. Im open to any advice.
Strict carnivore as well. Yeah,about 6 months in the oxalate dumping started. I ate lots of the “Toxic Superfoods” (this is the title of Sally K Norton’s book) for much of my life. Norton’s protocols for managing oxalate dumping has been very beneficial.
Allupurinol my friend takes for gout, I’ve never heard of Febuostat (sp?) for uric acid, minute counter 1:15 approximately, what’s the difference please?
I know it's pretty hard to get your body to run on ketones but can't chugging (R)- 3-hydroxybutyric acid potentially mess with your liver's natural production of it? I’m curious because, usually, when you introduce exogenous things your body should be making endogenously, it gets lazy and produces less of it. Why would someone want to supplement it ? Is the point to increase the metabolic regulation and cellular function to a higher degree? I'm new & still working my way through Dr Boz content so I haven't heard the reasoning behind supplementing ketones
I found it difficult to listen to this video. Could someone please just give the easy answer? Did they just say stay away from sugar and a lot of carbs?
Summary: Dr. Rick Johnson discusses the relationship between obesity, fructose, and dementia, emphasizing the biological switch that contributes to these conditions. Highlights: 🧠 Obesity is a survival response linked to energy regulation.- 🍬 Fructose triggers a biological switch that impacts insulin resistance. 🥦 Low-carb diets can help manage blood sugar and uric acid levels. 🧪 High uric acid levels are associated with an increased risk of dementia. 📊 Continuous glucose monitoring reveals how diet affects blood sugar. ⚖️ Medications like uric acid inhibitors may aid in weight loss and cognitive health. 🌿 Natural substances like epicatechin can support metabolic health. Key Insights: 🧬 **Biological Mechanisms:** Obesity acts as a survival mechanism, where certain biological switches drive fat accumulation and insulin resistance, emphasizing a natural response to energy needs. 🍭 **Fructose Impact:** Fructose consumption significantly lowers ATP levels in cells, contributing to insulin resistance and potentially leading to cognitive decline, particularly in Alzheimer's disease. 💧 **Hydration Matters:** Staying well-hydrated can mitigate uric acid fluctuations during fasting, helping maintain metabolic health and avoid complications related to high uric acid. 🧑⚕️ **Medication Insights:** Uric acid-lowering medications not only alleviate gout symptoms but also show promise in reducing weight gain and cognitive decline, indicating a multifaceted role in health. 📉 **Dietary Influence:** Low-carb diets help stabilize blood sugar and reduce fructose production in the body, providing an effective strategy for managing obesity and related metabolic disorders. 🍫 **Natural Compounds:** Substances like epicatechin found in dark chocolate can enhance mitochondrial function and combat oxidative stress, contributing positively to metabolic health. 🔄 **Cognitive Recovery:** Proper management of blood sugar through diet and medications can reverse cognitive decline, showcasing the potential for recovery from early-stage dementia symptoms.
Wait a minute here........some of the foods that are listed as high uric acid foods include certain types of seafood (like sardines), dairy and red meats. That flies in the face of eating carnivore. I love meat, butter and sardines and eat them all regularly. Yet more information that contradicts what we believe to be a good diet. Would love to hear any informed opinions/comments anyone has.
I have been on a strict carnivore diet for almost six years and was on keto diet for 11 years before carnivore. I eat high fat, moderate protein. Recent blood work showed that I am very insulin resistant--hgA1c of 6.0 and uric acid of 8.1! I eat no carbs at all. I don't know how to understand this or what to do about it. Fasting insulin is 3. I'm very distressed about my situation.
You may develop insulin suppression, you can check C peptide in you blood and see how much your body is able to produce insulin, if it’s good then you need to spike your insulin at dinner to turn of glucagon production in pancreas. We need insulin, insulin is not bad thing we just don’t need to overeat high glycemic carbs all the time. Type insulin suppression in TH-cam you will find doctor who talking about this state. Basically, as I understand this mechanism is that your insulin is low because of absence of carbs and your glucagon is always elevated and signaling liver to release sugar, we need insulin to turn off glucagon. God knows what is the truth here we need to test it and hope we will survive tastings :)
And, on other side of this story you have professor Bart Kay who telling that for insulin suppression you don’t need carbs you need more protein not fat, in absence of carbs body will use protein to convert to sugar, basically he said you just need one high protein meat with low fat. Overdosing fat can explain your high uric acid because you produce to much ketone and they are not allowing kidney to release uric acid. My advice will be to you to stop intermittent fasting, keep eating meat, lower your fat and for dinner eat high protein low fat meat to produce more sugar and turn of your glucagon production. Bart Key are not advocating for carbs he explained that eating carbs will trigger Randal Cycle in the cells and in his opinion that is main driver for the construct “insulin resistance” and diabetes. I agree with that, since you are so long on meat you are perfectly adapted to oxidize fat don’t need to trigger Randal Cycle to produce your insulin enough to turn off glucagon.

The elephant was why is vegans getting cancer more than meat eaters. For me listening to him via video on you tube , I thought maybe this is why a lot hof our vegan people look sick all the time. That was about 20 years ago , maybe they take more vitamins now , I have no clue , I still don’t trust that diet , it seems to unhealthy. I never tried to look into the vegan diet since that time . Maybe they improved how to do it . I say like the bible says , everything in moderation. Although I would think the Bible is talking about natural foods.
@@louonUT Bryan Johnson is vega and has one of the highest longevity markers in the world. Nice try to try and scare people, it didnt work.
This makes so much sense. My uncle died of Alzheimer’s disease. But, years before this problem he was suffering from Gout and I recall him eating a lot of sweets. I don’t know if he had diabetes, but possibly he was diabetic.
Everyone should listen to this and every person in the medical profession.
He and his book have been disputed by any other doctors and scientists
Oh my goodness! You got to interview Dr. Johnson! First time I heard his name was from Dr Perlmutter 4 or 5 years ago. Been a fan ever since! All my research led me here!
Dr Boz, Wonderful video. My husband has ftd dementia and the precursor of high uric acid and type 2 diabetes, This was a fantastic Interview,Thank You. I have changed my hubby to a ketogenic diet a few months ago. It has helped him a small amount. Keep up the great work. Much love from Naperville Illinois.
I'm sorry, but Dr. Boz is so beautiful. It strains my ability to stay on point and listen.
Yeah, what were they even talking about? Modern art or something. Who knows.
Guys stay focused! 😅
Agree 100%! However, I must stress that she is such a great resource & inspiration, with tons of very useful info for better health, especially those of us with insulin resistance issues. That said, I can't ignore the fact that she is also a stunningly beautiful woman!
I was a geriatric nurse for 22 years until I had a stroke at 59 years old in my sleep. I watched elderly sugar addicts slowly get worse until they died. So many MDs dance around the fact that sucrose is the most addictive drug in the world and it’s also very destructive to humans because it spike insulin. This repeated spiking of glucose and insulin damages the endothelial cells in our heat and blood vessels(endothelium). The body tries to repair this damage with cholesterol and fibrin which start hardening of the blood vessels(arteriosclerosis). These cholesterol-fibrin deposits can break away to form clots in the small capillary arteries in the vital organs. 3 minutes without oxygenated blood caused cells to die(in the brain and elsewhere). The BS about fructose is spread by the US sucrose cartel. Fructose does not create visceral fat. Sucrose does!; resulting in obesity steadily increasing until death. As DR Boz points out, stay away from sucrose in any form! Toddlers and teenagers can survive the progressive cell damage because their bodies are still producing stem cells which replace those dead cells but they are slowly getting addicted to sucrose. At 16 to 20 years old, stem cell production stops and cardiovascular disease-obesity rapidly increases until death if this addiction is not broken. This DR’s book was probably published by the sucrose cartel to continue misinformation of consumers because they don’t care if their product kills you; they just want you money! Ketosis is your friend. Fatty meat, eggs, and grass-fed butter/cream are your friends! Stay with recommendations by Dr Bos! Remember to guard against misinformation.
Dr. Atkins talked about how sugar causes disease long ago. He said it caused obesity and heart disease. Many people ignored him, because they want their sugar, hence these diabetic nutrition diets that are "balanced", meaning you still get carbs, and "portion control", meaning you get small amount, but that sets up cravings and keeps the insulin coming. Agree about ketosis.
Rick Johnson is an amazing scientist and story teller. Bravo!
Thank you Dr. Bosworth! I learn so much from you. You have this amazing way presenting information in a simple way that makes it easy to understand. You inspire me, and I believe all your followers too, to remain motivated to eat health.
I’m on holiday visiting my daughter in Mexico (I’m British) and I’ve really struggled to stick to my carnivore lifestyle whilst shopping and going out socially. But all the videos helped me stay on track.
In 2 weeks I’ve only had beef, eggs,butter and water and a little milk at bedtime and when we’ve been out I’ve learnt to stick to mineral water and not eat if I couldn’t find anything on a menu.
It’s been hard but my body’s looking and feeling really great.
I have struggled with the altitude here and the long flight wasn’t easy but I KNOW if I’d relaxed my routine I would have been in more pain and gone back weeks.
It’s not easy when we’re with family and on vacation - if you’re struggling watch more videos and eat large carnivore meal mid or late morning until you’re stuffed before you head out for the day and it will be easy to refuse things because you won’t be so hungry if hungry at all.
Good luck everyone.
I’m so glad when I get back home to the U.K. I don’t have to repair any damage I did in Mexico.
Dr Richard Johnsons book is a must read.
Great interview, picked up a few more things listening to this and I'm only 18 minutes in.
Two of the nicest, smartest people. Great interview.
It’s ALL about energy (ATP) and he definitely is on target!!❤
it's all about mitochondria
@@Julia_Berrrlin The food industry is killing us.
Dr. Boz - That was such a great informative video. You always dispense real information that can and will save a lot of heartache in the future by paying attention today. Thank you!
Recently I got ill and could not eat. I am a person that drops weight too easily and find it hard to maintain my body weight. I eat mostly keto under normal circumstances. To make a long story short, I started drinking coke just to get some calories. That did not make much difference though. After a few days, I bought some off the shelf soup and added this to my diet. Still nothing solid. Imagine my shock when I started gaining weight. According to the calories I should have lost weight, but the opposite happened. Apparently the combination of fructose and some processed food is the ticket, at least in my case. Lesson learned
EXCELLENT INTERVIEW
Ok the cocoa story... these sound like my kinda ppl. 😂 I recently watched a video of yours Dr Bos saying you really wanted to interview Dr Johnson. I am glad it worked out. I didn't want this one to end. 😊
Dr Boz is looking so healthy
She exercises too.
Dr. Boz, you are gorgeous in red!
I have been type 1 diabetic 56 years and am having insulin resistance now. I also have a bad memory and think it could be the start of dimentia. I am only 5-10 pounds overweight.
In a recent video that I saw (IIRC, it was Dr. Ben Bikman's video on uric acid) there was speculation that ketones may in some way that's not understood yet counteract the effects of uric acid. No proof yet or real research, just a theory, but that may be why some people on a ketogenic diet may have high levels of uric acid and yet not have the bad effects such as gout.
@@Eclecticladylove he mentioned that in the video, ketons suppress kidney excretion of uric acid that’s the case.
This foraging behaviour sounds like food addiction. We have all seen it and felt that urge to eat even though you are full.
Great interview with the legendary Dr Rick Johnson.
Explains interrelationship between glucose Fructose uric acid and insulin in a wonderful way
🎉 I’ve been waiting for this!! My 2 favourites, together at last. Thank you.
What a wonderful, heartfelt guest! ❤❤❤
This was so good thank you Dr Boz we’ve been lied to so long and thank you both for revealing the truth to us ❤
My aunt has alzheimer's for about 5+ years now. Thin all her life. Low fat, high carbs, works out all her life. High cholesterol and high blood pressure and is NOT t1d or t2d, yet alzheimer's. I watch her 3x a week. She eats sad diet now high carb high sugar is on blood pressure and cholesterol meds. When i get there, she is out of it. Just sitting there and can barely converse she is up but not moving and participating in life. When i feed her carnivore on Tues, by Wednesday she is up and dressed and has conversation and participates in life. By Thursday even though she will speak on same subject 15 times in 5 minutes she is starting to say things like "You've told me this before" . Her nurse has seen a difference in my aunt and making notes in her file. I do not see her bloodwork. But her family has had new blood work done. No new meds. Not sure if testing for uric acid. Can she be insulin resistant? Not sure if her regular doctor tests for IR. TIA
I am sorry to hear about this. This get your aunt off statins, one of their side effects is dementia which you described. Statins cross the blood-brain barrier and stop the brain from making cholesterol. That is dangerous because your brain needs to produce cholesterol to remain healthy and for new neurons to be developed.
It is great that you are starting her on a ketogenic diet that will lower her blood sugar and insulin resistance, which underpins dementia.
Lastly, please note that large buoyant LDL cholesterol is not a health risk. Oxidated LDL cholesterol which becomes small dense LDL cholesterol is what is dangerous. Avoiding seed oils is another key factor.
My belief is that she can be insulin resistant. It is possible. I don't know how her doctor reached the conclusion that she doesn't have diabetes but there's a possibility where, just by looking at her glucose levels, she could be considered not diabetic but her insulin could be sky high, therefore insulin resistant. In this case her brain could be the first and the most affected by the insulin resistance and one of the first signs of diabetes. Maybe, supplementing with BHB, MCT 6, 8 oil fractioned (not 10) and Omega 3 in addition to the ketogenic diet could have good results. And of course if she will have good results meaning low triglycerides and high HDL maybe she should consider reducing stains progressively. They're really horrible for the brain. Of course, all the ideas mentioned in my comment and the others must be discussed with her doctors and care takers. Good luck!
The keto chips he mentions, would love the brand facts on that “mention” that he adds avocados to, please 🙏🏼✨❤
I love this conversation, but I have a question. If carbs lend to insulin resistance, obesity, alzheimers, and such, then why weren't Americans a hundred years ago over run with these struggles?They were eating bread, potatoes, and sugar as staples of their diet.
People had to physically work to live. People didn’t have washing machines that did all the work for them, dishwashers, vacuums, cars, holes were dug by hand, not by a big piece of equipment… list goes on and on. They burned up their carbs on a daily basis.
@carolbozarth5477 Yes, good point, but in that case, the carbs aren't the main issue.
Lower volume for fewer years of their life.
Dr Boz looks better every time I see her!
She’s so beautiful-inside and out! ❤ She reminds me of Captain Janeway from the Voyager Star Trek series.

I had chronic gout for 15 years or so and needed allopurinol to avoid the attacks. I still had to avoid certain foods. A few years back I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. I switched to Keto and after about a year I no longer need to take gout tablets (or metformin). I am still diabetic but have an A1C in the normal range. I still have a relatively High Uric Acid level, but it is less than it was 3 years ago and I have not had a gout attack even though I eat much more red meat. I pretty much concluded that the gout is caused by a combo of carb and uric acid levels.
I am 59 and T2 (using metformin). I have been, for the most part, keto for many years, but could not lose weight no matter how strict my diet was. Earlier this year I started on GLP-1 and have had some great success. And then about 3 months back, I got my first gout flare (bizarre). The discussion you are having with Dr. Johnson makes me think all my issues are somehow connected. Recently I did have new blood work done and got some good news. My A1C had fallen to around 4.2, overall cholesterol came in at around 91. I have gone from 230+ lbs. to around 165 lbs. (that was the GLP-1 and super clean keto eating). Recently did an InBody scan and my bodyfat is now only 19%. I still use the GLP-1 and metformin, but my morning blood glucose now shows in the high 80s to low 90s. The last 10+ years have been frustrating, but I do see improvements in my overall health…Finally!!!
Total cholesterol of 91? That is extremely low and probably not healthy. Your brain needs cholesterol. Are you on a statin?
@@sassyt1545 No statin.
Maybe you should switch to carnivore and get off metformin and glp-1
why would I do that? GLP-1 works for me!
I switched to carnivore and got off metformin within 3 months.
70s food increased levels of high fructose syrup then gyms became a business😒
I have seen a handful of “healthy runners” die in their 70’s. My guess is that the Carb craze from the 80’s was the root cause of their health issues.
@@sunrisetacticalgear2676long distance running is also terrible for you
Interesting guest interview. I recently heard about uric acid with dementia...my greatest fear.
This doctor is so good ❤
that is what happened to me. I dropped the carbs, and then my foot started to blow up. I told my brother that I think that I am getting gout, but he didn't believe me. Because the ketone bodies can block uric acid excretion. I didn't know there was such a link between uric acid and fructose till this video. thank you.
That was excellent, Annette! Very enjoyable and informative.
Exercise will also reduce the risk of insulin resistance and Alzheimer's disease.
Do a GLP1 if you don’t mind losing muscle as well as fat. Maybe you have too much muscle and sarcopenia isn’t a concern? But…. if you think being strong and healthy is better, just go low carb.
Thank you both of you great work
I appreciate this conversation, and it makes you both HUMANS. Thank you
So we shouldn’t fast because of the Uric acid? So I am Confused
I am too!!
I've been on a 2 year high. Since keto. Wild!
If sodium bicarbonate reduces uric acid in the urine, does it also reduce uric acid in the blood?
So was there an answer as to why her patients uric acid, etc kept rising?
Awesome info! Thank you!
Ok so now I'm putting 1/2 tsp cocoa baking powder in my coffee to see if the epicatechin will help to lose fat. I only have 5 lbs to lose but I'll try it. Thank you for another great video!
Very Interesting. Sardines, liver food are rich with Uric asid. Meanwhile these are good for kito diet, is it right? So, "eat sardines (to put insuline under control) but dont eat sardines (due to uric asid). Kind of contradiction ...
Dr. Anna Cabecca website has urine test strips that do uric acid, pH, and ketones all on one strip.
Love your videos
Great episode
Can you test fructose levels in the brain
hey i just got the Keto Mojo...read in the insert that people taking vitamin c may affect the result. whose not taking vit c these days ?
My husband on keto lowcarb diet for years. We eat a lot of meat, mainly beef. But recently we discovered his uric acid is really high 8+ mg/ dl. His HbA1C is pretty good 4.9 -5 ish %. He has gout flares occasionally when he eats a lot of seafood or has a beer. We have no idea how to fix it.
Great Program,Doc why u invite Dr Wheat Belly(William Davis) and Dr David Perlmutter
Yup it's not only about sugar, it's also about wheat. We all need to stop eating wheat.
I was just curious if anyone has any feedback for me. Please note I am working with my GP. I’ve been doing keto for 4 months and have loved it. Lost 60lbs, back to working out and also work in intermittent fasting. To be vulnerable, not always eating enough calories and worry about some nutritional deficiency. Last CBC - some numbers went in the good direction, but my platelets and wbc came in low. I think it’s thrombocytopenia and also have giant platelets. Of course cancer is my worst fear but curious if it’s something on keto I need to tweak or if this could be even related. Love any thoughts. God bless all. ❤
The more education you do, the more likely it is that you have a higher income. Protein and good fat is far more expensive than breads, pasta, rice, cakes, cookies, puddings, and sweets. Just financial fact.
But you'll eat far less of the protein and good fats because they provide quick satiety. Processed carbs will stimulate appetite and cause overeating.
It’s called priorities. Pay now or you’ll pay for it later with your health.
Insulin is wickedly expensive. My mother taught me that I would either leave my money at the market or at the pharmacy. I would add that it’s market and good health or pharmacy and disease.
So is dementia prevalent in Asia where they eat white rice?
Dr. Boz Does this impact your suggestions regarding weekly sardine fasts?
Sounds like a good hydration is very important
My friend real salt does not cause high blood pressure.
Does this still apply if eating too much protein raises blood sugar? That’s my main concern about carnivore.
Not if you eat the right amount for your body weight and age
Polyol pathway shows sorbitol as the intermediary between glucose and fructose. Does this explain why diet sodas are strongly linked to overweight? it's low cal but if in the end it's fructose..... ❓❓❓
How can you get a cgm without being a diabetic?
I'm 66 and have been around. I posit that Americans know exactly what they are doing to themselves, buying swimming pools quantities of sugary drinks in a year. They know it and do not care. Contrast with my wife of 30 years and her family's culture in Japan, where obesity is truly rare. Until there is an economic incentive in America, such as increased medical care pricing and medical insurance pricing for the obese, forget it. Just talk.
Love Dr Rick Johnson. First heard him on his Podcast with Peter Attia.. ( worth a listen). I am stuck with High Blood Sugars. My Mom was Type 1 along with her brother and Sister. I also am a Carrier of Fructose Intolerance Gene . I tend to run higher Uric Acid there is something to the genotype type. Also APOE 4/4 but neither Mom or DD Alzheimer’s but I know I am on the wrong side of this thing I need help. Got put on insulin before getting a positive GAD Angibkdy. Immediately gained 30 pounds. Menopause during pandemic. I was successful with Virta and when I can work out fasting and get to about 1.2 ketones numbers seem to regulate. Anyone give me best lowering blood glucose lowering not insulin. Insulin made me fatter and more insulin resistance Help Help Help
Carnivore diet
@@soniasbooks Yes, carnivore diet, but have your doctor monitor your insulin. Also, drink lots of water to keep your blood salt concentration down, get some sun exposure, optimize vitamin D and exercise intensely as possible.
Sugar and seed oils, yummy treats from hell...
Is there a correlation between high uric acid and severe, debilitating migraines?
See Dr. Anna Cabecca for preferred uric lens vs ketones vs low alkaline diet.
My husband has Alzheimer's, gout, diabetes,high blood pressure and glaucoma. He had a brain scan and the Dr said he has brain shrinkage of a much older man. He did go through the stage of losing weight. I wonder what stage he is in. He won't have anything to do with changing his diet and doesn't believe he has to change. I wish my example of healthy eating and being in ketosis would rub off, but he has a very stubborn mind of his own. You can lead a horse to water but……..I have wondered about the effect of ketosis on gout but i have heard many stories that people's gout has been cured by being in ketosis. I do have him on MCT Oil and drinking alkaline water which has helped his gout not to flare up as often. Im open to any advice.
I have been very Strict Carnivore for over 6 months--Woke up yesterday with Hurting left Big Toe---GOUT
Oxylate dumping
@@kelsycunningham8452 YEP--AND IT BLOODY HURTS
Have you not tested for uric acid?
Strict carnivore as well. Yeah,about 6 months in the oxalate dumping started. I ate lots of the “Toxic Superfoods” (this is the title of Sally K Norton’s book) for much of my life. Norton’s protocols for managing oxalate dumping has been very beneficial.
And the role of advancing age in this process, independent of diet ?
Allupurinol my friend takes for gout, I’ve never heard of Febuostat (sp?) for uric acid, minute counter 1:15 approximately, what’s the difference please?
I've been reading the information by the man that is doing these studies on uric acid and developing an effective flush for the kidneys.
I know it's pretty hard to get your body to run on ketones but can't chugging (R)- 3-hydroxybutyric acid potentially mess with your liver's natural production of it? I’m curious because, usually, when you introduce exogenous things your body should be making endogenously, it gets lazy and produces less of it.
Why would someone want to supplement it ? Is the point to increase the metabolic regulation and cellular function to a higher degree?
I'm new & still working my way through Dr Boz content so I haven't heard the reasoning behind supplementing ketones
I believe He is talking about Type 3 diabetes. 23:20
My wife and I want to join you at Pinchasers but which location in Tampa?
He mentions a Yale study, but where's the reference?
I found it difficult to listen to this video. Could someone please just give the easy answer? Did they just say stay away from sugar and a lot of carbs?
I'm 10 minites in, heard a lot of rambling words, have no idea where this is going and whether I can stay for over an hour ...
Summary:
Dr. Rick Johnson discusses the relationship between obesity, fructose, and dementia, emphasizing the biological switch that contributes to these conditions.
Highlights:
🧠 Obesity is a survival response linked to energy regulation.- 🍬 Fructose triggers a biological switch that impacts insulin resistance.
🥦 Low-carb diets can help manage blood sugar and uric acid levels.
🧪 High uric acid levels are associated with an increased risk of dementia.
📊 Continuous glucose monitoring reveals how diet affects blood sugar.
⚖️ Medications like uric acid inhibitors may aid in weight loss and cognitive health.
🌿 Natural substances like epicatechin can support metabolic health.
Key Insights:
🧬 **Biological Mechanisms:** Obesity acts as a survival mechanism, where certain biological switches drive fat accumulation and insulin resistance, emphasizing a natural response to energy needs.
🍭 **Fructose Impact:** Fructose consumption significantly lowers ATP levels in cells, contributing to insulin resistance and potentially leading to cognitive decline, particularly in Alzheimer's disease.
💧 **Hydration Matters:** Staying well-hydrated can mitigate uric acid fluctuations during fasting, helping maintain metabolic health and avoid complications related to high uric acid.
🧑⚕️ **Medication Insights:** Uric acid-lowering medications not only alleviate gout symptoms but also show promise in reducing weight gain and cognitive decline, indicating a multifaceted role in health.
📉 **Dietary Influence:** Low-carb diets help stabilize blood sugar and reduce fructose production in the body, providing an effective strategy for managing obesity and related metabolic disorders.
🍫 **Natural Compounds:** Substances like epicatechin found in dark chocolate can enhance mitochondrial function and combat oxidative stress, contributing positively to metabolic health.
🔄 **Cognitive Recovery:** Proper management of blood sugar through diet and medications can reverse cognitive decline, showcasing the potential for recovery from early-stage dementia symptoms.
It was impressive
What was that prescription for uric acid causing weight loss?
This supports the carnivore theory of priming. Retraining your body that it doesn't have to store the food..
I eat one meal a day and have lost 16kgs.
What's the tortilla brand name?
So taking the fruits out of diet?
Yep.
Where do I get glp1?
what about honey? In the Middle East Baklava is popular
Honey= 70% fructose
Fructose turns into uric acid.
Wait a minute here........some of the foods that are listed as high uric acid foods include certain types of seafood (like sardines), dairy and red meats. That flies in the face of eating carnivore. I love meat, butter and sardines and eat them all regularly. Yet more information that contradicts what we believe to be a good diet. Would love to hear any informed opinions/comments anyone has.
Some or all of us stop eating fruits?
ANYthing that turns to glucose also
Glucose is used to make back to fructose! When there’s too much glucose
So need to be lowcarb, period
The book’s title needs a question mark at the end.
Did anyone catch the name of the GOUT Dr. RJ mentions are 30:54, something like Petere Dalinoy?????
Dr. Peter Delannoy
Blueberries have moderate fructose 😔 I looked it up
They are too sweet for me ...
I have been on a strict carnivore diet for almost six years and was on keto diet for 11 years before carnivore. I eat high fat, moderate protein. Recent blood work showed that I am very insulin resistant--hgA1c of 6.0 and uric acid of 8.1! I eat no carbs at all. I don't know how to understand this or what to do about it. Fasting insulin is 3. I'm very distressed about my situation.
Just replying to get notified if anyone has suggestions for you
I'm in the same boat.
Look at dry fasting. Dr. Dunnings book with a birds name in the title.
You may develop insulin suppression, you can check C peptide in you blood and see how much your body is able to produce insulin, if it’s good then you need to spike your insulin at dinner to turn of glucagon production in pancreas. We need insulin, insulin is not bad thing we just don’t need to overeat high glycemic carbs all the time. Type insulin suppression in TH-cam you will find doctor who talking about this state. Basically, as I understand this mechanism is that your insulin is low because of absence of carbs and your glucagon is always elevated and signaling liver to release sugar, we need insulin to turn off glucagon. God knows what is the truth here we need to test it and hope we will survive tastings :)
And, on other side of this story you have professor Bart Kay who telling that for insulin suppression you don’t need carbs you need more protein not fat, in absence of carbs body will use protein to convert to sugar, basically he said you just need one high protein meat with low fat. Overdosing fat can explain your high uric acid because you produce to much ketone and they are not allowing kidney to release uric acid. My advice will be to you to stop intermittent fasting, keep eating meat, lower your fat and for dinner eat high protein low fat meat to produce more sugar and turn of your glucagon production. Bart Key are not advocating for carbs he explained that eating carbs will trigger Randal Cycle in the cells and in his opinion that is main driver for the construct “insulin resistance” and diabetes. I agree with that, since you are so long on meat you are perfectly adapted to oxidize fat don’t need to trigger Randal Cycle to produce your insulin enough to turn off glucagon.
while this is interesting, and i am supportive, correlation is not causation. this type of thing got us ldl causes heart disease.
