I have lost 35 lbs since I've been watching you teaching this it's amazing at 63 to learn some of this sugar carbohydrates some intermittent fasting up to 24 hours still learning
Dr. Brewer, this is you at your finest. You don't need guests or co-speakers. Just you teach and speak. You shine, and It is focused and without distractions.
People are ignorant and believe politicians and business have your best interests at heart. They don't, they see you has cattle and care more about profit than people, so it's up to you to watch video's like this and change what you put in your mouth.
I have fat under my eyelids and when i told to the doctors, gus what they said, that is nothing while i am struggling with fatty liver or some liver diseases. They said that my liver function test is normal while it isn't.I almost stopped to go to doctor's office. I am learning very crucial health information on you tube and face book.I can't thank enough for those both of them. I can't thank you enough to.Very detail and useful health information. Keep it up!
Don’t forget about patient noncompliance. A lot of doctors do know and understand what you’re talking about, but are completely exhausted at the lack of compliance by their patients.
My doctor wanted me to take statins and subscribed them for me. I told him I need my healthy cholesterol, changed my diet and exercise habits. I found a formula to determine if I was at risk for heart attacks. The formula showed that I was not at risk at all just because my LDL's were high. They were simply balanced... I'd just lost 50 lbs in three years prior to my doctor's lab blood work! I need to come to your clinic to fine tune my health. P.S. My doctor, unfortunately, is very overweight. Looks like you have a facility in Lexington Ky and I live in Cincinnati Oh. Thanks.
Never have I heard such a poetic expression regarding the deep dive studies that determine metabolic disease and other risk factors influence on cardiovascular risks. I was actually enthralled and really enjoyed this thorough lesson. Thank you so much!
Almost all doctors today never ask you about diet, life style or exercise there mentality is oh you have this than take that. Dr. Brewer is a rare find.
Just became a patient, BC of histamine induced afib and am so grateful for this video. I now understand what my journey will be. All previous C docs would only focus on my high LDL. Thank you so much Dr Brewer
I’m not a doctor but I play one on the internet. I have yet to find a descent primary care physician who doesn’t source me out for a hang nail. I’m 63 and so sick of the lies and well thought out promotions to outdo their colleagues.
Why even bother doing all the testing? Just eat low carb, high fat, medium protein.....no seed oils, no fast food and no processed foods. Walk 8,000 to 10,000 steps per day and do resistance training 3 to 5 days per week. Oh, and get morning sunlight. Then you wont need to worry about blood work.
You don't necessarily need to consume high fat. Low carb nutritious intake followed up by prolonged fasting with electrolytes and some exercise is the best way to lower insulin.
Simple solution. Exercise and support your program with healthy foods to lose fat. Once one is lean and fit, most if not all metabolic diseases are gone. Then, you don’t even need to bother about insuline, ldl and other markers, or what diet one follows.

Interesting results from the GTT. A thorough test took 6 hours years ago. Results showed extreme low blood. I drank the terrible sweet drink. The high number stopped at 90. At the end of 6 hours the low level stopped at 31. I sought help cuz I had no memory, no words to say, so weary. DX was not Hypoglycemia, even though the test result was clearly severe. In the 60s /70s, Low Blood Sugar was denied as a DX by the Medical Association. The DX was Adrenal Deficiency/Exhaustion. TX was hormone injections, ATCH, not Prednisone. I did get a shot. A miracle happened that night in the hospital. A bright yellow sun broke thru the black color in my mind. I felt alive. Could not afford that TX. The alternative was to stabize the inflamed pancreas with the same 150 calories 12 times a day. Used rye bread with a protein, cheese, egg, meat. No sugar. Herb teas, water, broth. Food calories aimed to prevent spikes and lows in blood sugar levels. Worked cuz I was only 31 and motivated. After a year, I was strong, stable, healthy taking care of 3 kids, husband, learned to drive a car finally. A healed pancreas. Improved adrenals. Totally motivated to get well. Added regular food, not sugar. NO sweet tooth here. Discovered black coffee again. Back to baking. Salads, veges, stews, fried chicken. Real Maple syrup for pancakes. So lucky to have found the MD who treated me outside the box. He was right. Even calorie intake saved me by cooling a hyperactive pancreas. I chose to follow the 12 meals a day for a year. We found that low blood sugar runs in the family.
Thankyou Dr Ford . I also would have you look into cortisol Levels , I have this and its awfull , high cortisol . It causes alot of problems . People are in high stress today and live on stimulents . I have this problem . Also raw vegies are different from cooked .
Excellent video with valuable health information. I didn't get bored once. I am on the road to getting back up to start my health journey again after an illness. Thank you Dr. Ford.
One way is too reduce sugar, starchy foods, and saturated fats for starters. I have type2 diabetes and wasn't even aware till my late 40s; luckily there wasn't too much damage. I now have macular edema on my right eye and not sure I will regain my vision, on anti-VEGF treatment to reduce the swelling under the retina. So if you are young watch out with these process foods and eat/drink rarely if at all. OK take care....
I have wondered if patients with numerous dental crowns or caps could have increase d inflammation due to decay under the crowns or caps especially if they the dental repair are quite old?
Dr. Brewer, you should set up francise chain around the world! Am from Singapore, I have never come across doc here who admit the limitation of western doc who only and exclusively practise symptomatic treatments
Excellent educational production! Learning more each day, down 20 lbs in 40 days by cutting processed nonfoods, getting fat adapted with KETO and intermittent fasting. Looking to extend fasts and add HIIT.
Thank you for talking about the LDL focus and statins. This led to an earlier death for my husband. He was put on a huge dose of Zocor and ended with extreme memory loss that ruined his life.
Thanks for the refresher course and right on time! On Tuesday, the 29, I met my second opinion cardiologist " the original wanting to help me with a Halloween mask, by giving me zipper looking stitching near both carotid arteries. Have you guessed what character I'm doing my best not to look like for Trick or Treaters? Yet I've degressed. My confidence is very high that I will not get any stitches for Halloween now that I am very well armed. "Thanks to you" with the knowledge you laid out that I've created bullet point notes to bring with me to the appointment. My cardiovascular snafu really shocked me. Like you, I took care of body, nutritionally, regularly seen my doctor with yearly bloodwork. My doctors telling me everythings looking good. My bloodwork numbers are the same today 'no different" from my first. I also played organized sports into my fifty's and resistance trained to keep fit. Started regularly at the age of 25 and stayed motivated through my mid fifty's. I'm 6'4" In my twenties, thin as a been pole. father razed me that I needed to run in circles in the shower to get wet, attech a string to my body so wouldn't go down the drain ect. I've never weighed more than 205lbs in my life no mater how hard I may have tried. I'm still sporting my 6 pack abs I've had from childhood. Today I'm 62, 179 lbs resistance training agian after a stint in my and iliac failed for the third time, and doing whatever I can to avoid the Bypass " fasting, walking or riding bike everywhere I commute. I apologize for going off on a tangent. I'll finish quickly my cardiovascular snafu hit me hard and heavy, starting like I pinched my Siadica one day after being restrained in shackles attached to my bare feet "the weight of them baring on my piping common to my ankles", cuffs attached to my hands in front of me, then attached to a common chain that was locked around my waist. Placed in the seated position in cramped space for 60 hrs those chains stayed on. When they were finally removed I noticed both of my feet had swollen to an ungodly size but no bruising. After the swelling finally went Down I noticed both feet become very very sensitive with numbness from the tows to the pads and when I walked within a city block my leg felt like it was on fire. After a short rest, the fire would cool down so I could continue walking for another block, repeat cycle. After finding that requested the proper exam an electromyograph "shock treatment" be perform was I diagnosed as acquiring "like within days" neuropathy in both feet. My next appointment was at the cardiologist with a Doppler Ultrasound Specialist. She quickly understood what he issue was cased by and that it is fixable settings my mind at ease. My doctor latet said I would need a stent placed in the common Iliac artery. But You know as well as I do "Getting OLD Is Not For Sissy's..." Thanks Dr. Ford Brewer (🛻) for sharing your experiences and valued educational wisdom...❤️🔥 God Bless... P.S. It's a Ford!
Thankyou , so how to revers high tryglicetides?? I have this marker . I know why and need to change my eating . Also Dr Ford . I also think you dhould look into what cortisol dose high , cortisol . That ehat happened to me .
@@PrevMedHealth As you have international viewers too. It would be helpful if you could you please list the tests required for those of us who live overseas?
I've been really sick for 4 years I've been breaking out with these sores all over my body it started my butt and then started down my leg then on my back and my arms you know and it's just no stomach or or chest thank God but but I can't get rid of them and I've been to eight doctors and their negligent on my team was negligent. They would not diagnose me one guy said ringworm which there's okay there's larvae and nodules. So I came to realize I finally I begged them for ivermectin I thought I might have parasites cuz I have maggots coming out of my sores they said I was crazy they didn't even look at them and the dermatologist took a sample of the squamous tissue that I already picked. So he said I have prurigo nodularis which meansv squamous tissue with white nodules. In other words you don't know what it is.
A simple test: Eat a high carb lunch..if You get a urgent need to take a nap, there is a good chance Your capability of processing carbs is reduced. I have this, it started after 50.
I asked, for my hormones to be tested and my doctor said that would be $1000 and refused to do the test. Because of course, I told her that with my monthly earning.
Lifestyle for everyone yes, but when it comes to supplements or medications, you need to test first instead of guessing, also testing helps keep track of progress
40 seconds in , I knew which disease he meant..(IR). I'm a Lean Mass Hyper Responder , so I eat bbbe , beef ,bacon ,butter ,eggs, (mostly).If I eat less dietary Fat, my ldl increases.If I eat more dietary Fat, my ldl decreases .If I eat carbs ,my ldl decreases faster than with a statin ...really !.
I was bulking at the gym and eating lots of calories.. I then got ED - I’ve seen doctors and urologists and they say everything is okay.. Before bulking I had no problems.. I now have heart palpitations too.. My blood pressure is okay but I’ve had sleep problems for a long time.. I’d love to know what’s going on as no one seems to know..
According to our existing medical/scientific literature, we DO NOT need carbohydrates, while we do have to have the essential amino and fatty acids to remain alive.
Thanku Dr Brewer l listen to you every morning lm definately not a Sissy lm going out side now to do some up hill sprints just a few to start with but l will increase them Thanku lm not ready to kick the bucket so to speak 😮😊 😮😮
Someone in my 20's told me to keep my legs strong. I had models legs. I married at 50 and started eating a high carb diet a few years in.. my husband loves them and I'm a great cook/ baker says husband, my legs are like a fluffy pillow now. After a health scare I am starting back to before I was married.. lower carbs is a definite. Leg exercise and more kimchi😂
An accurate assessment seems to require a battery of complex and potentially expensive testing. Would probably be best to narrow it down to a few of the most essential and work from there. Thank for the in depth overview!
@@jesusnoguez2376 Let me ask, if y’all use Statins for some Lipid Lowering or for lowering inflammation only? In other words is this kinda yea the inflammation is lowered but we still believe deep down still believe the old theory that LDL is bad and must be driven down (law of primacy that which is learned 1st is almost unshakable) or is it we don’t care about quantity of LDL only quality and we track the inflammation and use Statins only if inflammation is high? If you do use statins for some lipid lowering then do you test to see if a person is a hyper absorber or hyper responder prior to the statin? In other words do you use Lipid production drugs and Lipid absorption drugs or mostly like mainstream just give Statins 1st?
Dr Brewer if metabolic syndrome is caused by a disfunction of mitochondria, isn’t the key lifestyle centered around increasing mitochondria function? HIT training, low limits of glycated end products, sleep, low stress, reduced visceral fat, fasting, sunlight, plenty of sunlight to increase Vitamin D, increase blood flow, increase nitric oxide, reduce triglycerides increase HDL, move or keep pattern A LDL, decrease inflammation plac2, Mpo, hsCRP, Decrease drugs and medications know to decrease mitochondria such as Statin drugs?
you just summarized tons of concepts in preventive cardiovascular medicine, although there is a lot of benefit-risk balance to consider especially with medications and supplements, lifestyle is way more effective
All I know is Statins do more harm to deregulate the body's systems and it really is criminal patients are being prescribed these drugs imo.. All based on the myth that high cholesterol causes CVD ... Ancel Keys was absolutely a criminal and I can't believe how long his lies and subsequent so called "Dietary guidelines" issued by governments all over the world have been upheld. Responsible (along with Big Pharma) for literally killing millions of people, smh, and still the message isn't getting through. From which I can only conclude it's being upheld as truth deliberately.
I asked my dr. for a glucose tolerance test and he insisted on some other test instead. Perhaps its an insurance thing and thats why he did that. I may need to educate him or ask for a referral to a cardiologist. I did have diabetes but only for a yr then lost it from massive weight loss. Last three a1c 5.3.
More important keep, stay the results Have friends that went from 305 To full athletic, gym, marathon 165 And couple year later Were back at 300, death wish Problem is they look at the diet As a means, when they get the result they put the diet at a shelf
Dr. Brewer so what causes Insulin Resistance? Is it excess fat or excess sugar? Twin Cycle theory or Carbohydrate Insulin Theory? How do we avoid and get out of it if we don’t know which to address sugar or fat. If we go on a low fat diet then we have to add sugar (carbohydrate) for energy. If we go on a Low Carbohydrate (sugar) diet then we have to add fats. Energy comes from Fats or Sugars. We cannot live off all protein.
Great video. I wanted to know if you have done a video about high fasting glucose in the morning (105), however fasting insulin is below 3. All other Inflammatory markers are in the GREEN.
@PrevMedHealth can you please consider adding chinese subtitles too for your videos so i can show the chinese speaking folks? I believe there are others that may resonate with me as well. This video is comprehnsive and can benefit those older generations! Tyvm!
TYVM! We launch foreign language channels in Portuguese, Hindi, & Spanish this month. I asked Aspen & Jesus to update you & me on status of Chinese subtitles.
ummm Thank you but no where did I see your protocol? Ie what else are you doing to reverse or slow down disease. Ie nato , d3 , etc..? Where do I find that?
we have plenty of videos, the thing is there is no one size fits all solution, no recipe that works for everyone, Dr Brewer provides tailored made care to each patient, YT provide overall recommendations, no medical advice
Good point. In previous jobs, I functioned as a toxicologist. HFCS fits the definition of a poison, & is wreaking far more destruction than the obvious & more well-known ones (like Carbon monoxide).
@Dr Brewer. 2 Questions please. 1. Are you accepting Medicare Original? We also have PLan F and ChampVA. 2. We want all those labs in this video from Quest. What is the approximate out of pocket for them for the two of us. We are in our 70s in moderate, not excellent, health today.
Unfortunately, we have no more slots for medicare patients; the out-of-pocket cost can go up to 2,000 USD; I'll recommend calling the phone at the end of the video or visiting the prevmed website also in the description of the video
Thanks for your interest. Also, you can get an assured price (MUCH lower) by going through us. (Labs negotiate better prices with doctors’ offices & insurance companies.) call Tracey or Miranda at 859-721-1414
@@PrevMedHealth Thank you PrevMed for your response. I will call next week. Although we live in Arizona, and are fully retired, we would make the trip to NC to see Dr. Brewer if we could use Medicare Original. I comprehend your Medicare slots are full, but should your office ever have openings for us, then we would gladly accept.,
Dr. Brewer I think this is one of your best videos. Watching your channel has helped me on the road to better metabolic health. After seeing Dr Roy Taylor’s ideas on diabetes I think I am a TOFI. Although fairly thin all of my life I am addicted to sugar, By middle age I went from 145 to 176. Guess what CVD. I have lost weight all my lipid numbers are good except HA1C which went up to 5.8 from 5,7 . Ia m on low dose Crestor and niacin so worried these are affecting my BG. I am now monitoring my fasting BG better and taking some berberine and my levels are improving. I am walking a lot and adding in HIIT with creatinine, my muscles and leg muscles are improving. I feel younger and feel great. Thanks. I will be sharing this video with my Docs.
I think you mean Fasting Insulin test , instead of an oral glucose tolerance test.Your insulin can be "normalising " blood glucose to mask the symptoms of diabetes for quiet a while ,apparently , so you might think you're only pre-diabetic when you are actually diabetic. But that insulin will be chronically elevated, and show up on a Fasting Insulin test .Then ,you can work at changing what you're eating etc a lot sooner ,and minimise any damage that would otherwise be caused.
Do this don't do that, eat this don't eat that, everybody's metabolism is different. Have to find out what works best for yourself and monitor your blood and what resides in it after the fact.
@@PrevMedHealth Thanks. It's a daily work on food choices, as my father died of complications from diabetes. While I grant myself some leeway, I mostly follow a low-carb diet since about the last 15 years.
So I've come to the conclusion that I have black fly disease. I killed a fly the other day and it was a flesh fly. I'm trying to get an appointment with a doctor that will diagnose it I got a picture of the fly that I killed the other day. I also got pictures of what's coming out of my urine and my butt and and what's coming out of my skin I held one of the worms on tweezers. I'm tired of these lousy doctors that they don't do anything and then they write that they do all this stuff on your chart so when I saw I went through all the notes and stuff that they wrote it's just I'm so upset and I've been suffering so bad for 4 years I had to take two forbearances I'm already disabled my back I can barely walk and my hip has to be replaced. But this skin thing really took me down I've been stuck and down in the basement of my house for 4 years living downstairs and I didn't go anywhere I've been depressed cuz it looks awful. And they said I was a picker I'm like I've never been a pic or in my whole life I've never even had sores like I had beautiful skin before this. So I I ripped them up up and down in messages to them and said they're so wrong and I explained everything that the doctor said I was obese because of my calorie intake maybe it's cuz I can't walk I said I'm just so hurt right now I feel so depressed I'm in a lot of pain I got to take a shower and go see the doctor for the first time and I got all my evidence I think I should print the pictures out though at CVS and pick them up or something Even my lymph nodes were swollen I went for a mammogram and then I had to get a then she sent me to get an ultra ultrasound or something but I didn't get it ultrasound they said it was just you know swelling lymph nodes they should go down you know if they don't let him know and then I went back there cuz I broke out with these worms and I had red patches all over me and there was all swollen and half of my face That's when I went in cuz they've gotten bad. I just I'm in I'm in Massachusetts and Springfield and I can't find a decent doctor that will help me with this nobody knows about it.
Bilary - Pancreatic junction & inflammation or obstruction of is a cause of imbalance between carbohydrates, protein & fats metabolism. Yes , Pancrea has a duct delivering insulin to Duodenum . Stress constricts the flow of Bile & Insulin & inflammation & Gall bladder stones. So this point where Bile & Pancreatic ducts meet & flow without obstruction is a major health balancing factor. Insulin regulation not RESISTANCE is a major factor. Yes, Pancreas overstimulation by all sorts of stimulants is to be regulated .....

People are in high stress today and live on stimulents .
I have this problem .
Also raw vegies are different from cooked .
Excellent video with valuable health information. I didn't get bored once. I am on the road to getting back up to start my health journey again after an illness. Thank you Dr. Ford.
One way is too reduce sugar, starchy foods, and saturated fats for starters. I have type2 diabetes and wasn't even aware till my late 40s; luckily there wasn't too much damage. I now have macular edema on my right eye and not sure I will regain my vision, on anti-VEGF treatment to reduce the swelling under the retina. So if you are young watch out with these process foods and eat/drink rarely if at all. OK take care....
Thank you very much!
I have wondered if patients with numerous dental crowns or caps could have increase d inflammation due to decay under the crowns or caps especially if they the dental repair are quite old?
Dr. Brewer, you should set up francise chain around the world! Am from Singapore, I have never come across doc here who admit the limitation of western doc who only and exclusively practise symptomatic treatments
This is your best video in the subject.
Excellent educational production! Learning more each day, down 20 lbs in 40 days by cutting processed nonfoods, getting fat adapted with KETO and intermittent fasting. Looking to extend fasts and add HIIT.
Hi Dr.Brewer I am an Ob/Gyn in Westchester NY. I have been low carb for the past 5 years. Is it possible to shadow you in your practice?
Thank you for talking about the LDL focus and statins. This led to an earlier death for my husband. He was put on a huge dose of Zocor and ended with extreme memory loss that ruined his life.
Hi. I would like a copy of those tests also.
A+. How can I schedule an appointment.
Eat in moderation and exercise! Best of luck!
Can diet alone effectively combat this?
Diet is THE most effective tool!!
Very informative.. Thank you! Doctors never explain this stuff to us.
Glad it was helpful!
great video, i wish my doctor have this knowledge.
Glad it was helpful!
You can email this video to your doctor. I plan on sending it to my primary, vascular surgeon and cardiologist.
Wish I had their addresses.
Thanks for the refresher course and right on time! On Tuesday, the 29, I met my second opinion cardiologist " the original wanting to help me with a Halloween mask, by giving me zipper looking stitching near both carotid arteries. Have you guessed what character I'm doing my best not to look like for Trick or Treaters?
Yet I've degressed. My confidence is very high
that I will not get any stitches for Halloween now that I am very well armed. "Thanks to you" with the knowledge you laid out that I've created bullet point notes to bring with me to the appointment. My cardiovascular snafu really shocked me. Like you, I took care of body, nutritionally, regularly seen my doctor with yearly bloodwork. My doctors telling me everythings looking good. My bloodwork numbers are the same today 'no different" from my first. I also played organized sports into my fifty's and resistance trained to keep fit. Started regularly at the age of 25 and stayed motivated through my mid fifty's.
I'm 6'4" In my twenties, thin as a been pole. father razed me that I needed to run in circles in the shower to get wet, attech a string to my body so wouldn't go down the drain ect. I've never weighed more than 205lbs in my life no mater how hard I may have tried. I'm still sporting my 6 pack abs I've had from childhood. Today I'm 62, 179 lbs resistance training agian after a stint in my and iliac failed for the third time, and doing whatever I can to avoid the Bypass " fasting, walking or riding bike everywhere I commute.
I apologize for going off on a tangent. I'll finish quickly my cardiovascular snafu hit me hard and heavy, starting like I pinched my Siadica one day after being restrained in shackles attached to my bare feet "the weight of them baring on my piping common to my ankles", cuffs attached to my hands in front of me, then attached to a common chain that was locked around my waist. Placed in the seated position in cramped space for 60 hrs those
chains stayed on. When they were finally removed I noticed both of my feet had swollen to an ungodly size but no bruising. After the swelling finally went
Down I noticed both feet become very very sensitive with numbness from the tows to the pads and when I walked within a city block my leg felt like it was on fire. After a short rest, the fire would cool down so I could continue walking for another block, repeat cycle. After finding that requested the proper exam an electromyograph "shock treatment" be perform was I diagnosed as acquiring "like within days" neuropathy in both feet. My next appointment was at the cardiologist with a Doppler Ultrasound Specialist. She quickly understood what he issue was cased by and that it is fixable settings my mind at ease. My doctor latet said I would need a stent placed in the common Iliac artery. But You know as well as I do "Getting OLD Is Not For Sissy's..."
Thanks Dr. Ford Brewer (🛻) for sharing your experiences and valued educational wisdom...❤️🔥 God Bless...
P.S. It's a Ford!
Thankyou , so how to revers high tryglicetides?? I have this marker .
I know why and need to change my eating .
Also Dr Ford . I also think you dhould look into what cortisol dose high , cortisol .
That ehat happened to me .
Hi dr can you send list of all the tests that I should get
Yes. Just register with Tracey Miranda at 859-721-1414.
@@PrevMedHealth As you have international viewers too. It would be helpful if you could you please list the tests required for those of us who live overseas?
I've been really sick for 4 years I've been breaking out with these sores all over my body it started my butt and then started down my leg then on my back and my arms you know and it's just no stomach or or chest thank God but but I can't get rid of them and I've been to eight doctors and their negligent on my team was negligent. They would not diagnose me one guy said ringworm which there's okay there's larvae and nodules. So I came to realize I finally I begged them for ivermectin I thought I might have parasites cuz I have maggots coming out of my sores they said I was crazy they didn't even look at them and the dermatologist took a sample of the squamous tissue that I already picked. So he said I have prurigo nodularis which meansv squamous tissue with white nodules. In other words you don't know what it is.
Go to an oncologist
A simple test: Eat a high carb lunch..if You get a urgent need to take a nap, there is a good chance Your capability of processing carbs is reduced. I have this, it started after 50.
use a cgm (continuous monitoring device) if you do home made trials, apple sauce has around 75 grams
Thanks for the tips!
Kraft insulin survey is 100 gms
W blood sugar and insulin readings
At baseline, 30 minutes, 1,2,3 hours
Look up at the 5 kraft charts
Very true, knocks me out!😱😱
Had sliced beef, dirty rice, potato salad and pinto bean plate for lunch, time for a nap!😲😲😲
Please doctor please help me
Move you body.. don't forget dance
Is urinary methylmelonic acid better than the blood test version?
I asked, for my hormones to be tested and my doctor said that would be $1000 and refused to do the test. Because of course, I told her that with my monthly earning.
Sorry to hear that. But she might not have known what to do with the results, either. Thank you for sharing.
Where is your practice located.
I need you here in Sydney Australia badly ,,, you are open minded ,,, no blinkers 👌come for talks one day ,,,
Why not assume you have these problems and go ahead and treat them?
Lifestyle for everyone yes, but when it comes to supplements or medications, you need to test first instead of guessing, also testing helps keep track of progress
40 seconds in , I knew which disease he meant..(IR). I'm a Lean Mass Hyper Responder , so I eat bbbe , beef ,bacon ,butter ,eggs, (mostly).If I eat less dietary Fat, my ldl increases.If I eat more dietary Fat, my ldl decreases .If I eat carbs ,my ldl decreases faster than with a statin ...really !.
Thanks for sharing!
Can my medical dr. Run
These tests?
I assume they’re expensive.
I was bulking at the gym and eating lots of calories.. I then got ED - I’ve seen doctors and urologists and they say everything is okay.. Before bulking I had no problems.. I now have heart palpitations too.. My blood pressure is okay but I’ve had sleep problems for a long time.. I’d love to know what’s going on as no one seems to know..
According to our existing medical/scientific literature, we DO NOT need carbohydrates, while we do have to have the essential amino and fatty acids to remain alive.
Thanku Dr Brewer l listen to you every morning lm definately not a Sissy lm going out side now to do some up hill sprints just a few to start with but l will increase them Thanku lm not ready to kick the bucket so to speak 😮😊 😮😮
Where can I get this information written down to give my Doctor?
Email to him.
I am age 61 with BMI 19.13, pattern A, bp avg is 108/64, triglycerides 56, HDL 94, LDL 160, LP-IR is
Please give us advice: 14 year old male HgAIc 5.8; total cholesterol 161; HDL37;LDL114; Triglycerides 102 non HDL cholesterol 134
Very confusing and hard to understand and remember. So many words I don't know the meaning of. Still has some very good information.
Is this drs full name: Thomas Fordham Brewer? In trying to look up drs credentials from medical boards.
Someone in my 20's told me to keep my legs strong. I had models legs. I married at 50 and started eating a high carb diet a few years in.. my husband loves them and I'm a great cook/ baker says husband, my legs are like a fluffy pillow now. After a health scare I am starting back to before I was married.. lower carbs is a definite. Leg exercise and more kimchi😂
An accurate assessment seems to require a battery of complex and potentially expensive testing. Would probably be best to narrow it down to a few of the most essential and work from there. Thank for the in depth overview!
❤SO TRUE❤
Dr Brewer do you find it helpful to test for Adiponectin TNF lepton omega fat level’s fibrinogen ferritin?
we have used some of that but not in all patients
@@jesusnoguez2376 Let me ask, if y’all use Statins for some Lipid Lowering or for lowering inflammation only? In other words is this kinda yea the inflammation is lowered but we still believe deep down still believe the old theory that LDL is bad and must be driven down (law of primacy that which is learned 1st is almost unshakable) or is it we don’t care about quantity of LDL only quality and we track the inflammation and use Statins only if inflammation is high? If you do use statins for some lipid lowering then do you test to see if a person is a hyper absorber or hyper responder prior to the statin? In other words do you use Lipid production drugs and Lipid absorption drugs or mostly like mainstream just give Statins 1st?
Dr Brewer if metabolic syndrome is caused by a disfunction of mitochondria, isn’t the key lifestyle centered around increasing mitochondria function? HIT training, low limits of glycated end products, sleep, low stress, reduced visceral fat, fasting, sunlight, plenty of sunlight to increase Vitamin D, increase blood flow, increase nitric oxide, reduce triglycerides increase HDL, move or keep pattern A LDL, decrease inflammation plac2, Mpo, hsCRP, Decrease drugs and medications know to decrease mitochondria such as Statin drugs?
you just summarized tons of concepts in preventive cardiovascular medicine, although there is a lot of benefit-risk balance to consider especially with medications and supplements, lifestyle is way more effective
All I know is Statins do more harm to deregulate the body's systems and it really is criminal patients are being prescribed these drugs imo..
All based on the myth that high cholesterol causes CVD ... Ancel Keys was absolutely a criminal and I can't believe how long his lies and
subsequent so called "Dietary guidelines" issued by governments all over the world have been upheld. Responsible (along with Big Pharma) for literally
killing millions of people, smh, and still the message isn't getting through. From which I can only conclude it's being upheld as truth deliberately.
DHEA for mitochondria too!
I asked my dr. for a glucose tolerance test and he insisted on some other test instead. Perhaps its an insurance thing and thats why he did that. I may need to educate him or ask for a referral to a cardiologist. I did have diabetes but only for a yr then lost it from massive weight loss. Last three a1c 5.3.
Congratulations!
More important keep, stay the results
Have friends that went from 305
To full athletic, gym, marathon 165
And couple year later
Were back at 300, death wish
Problem is they look at the diet
As a means, when they get the result they put the diet at a shelf
Dr. Brewer so what causes Insulin Resistance? Is it excess fat or excess sugar? Twin Cycle theory or Carbohydrate Insulin Theory? How do we avoid and get out of it if we don’t know which to address sugar or fat. If we go on a low fat diet then we have to add sugar (carbohydrate) for energy. If we go on a Low Carbohydrate (sugar) diet then we have to add fats. Energy comes from Fats or Sugars. We cannot live off all protein.
Good question!
Don’t need sugar
Carbs turn into sugar
@@sixpackbinky I thought all carbohydrates are sugar in the form of either Monosccharide, Polysaccharide or Disccharide.
@@4everhdt Would like an answer. At least an opinion.
Great video. I wanted to know if you have done a video about high fasting glucose in the morning (105), however fasting insulin is below 3. All other Inflammatory markers are in the GREEN.
We see a lot of people develop the Dawn Effect as they get fat-adapted.
what has MPH What has Miles Per Hour got to do with this?
My glucose level is 80and i use alot of sugar inmy offee and tea
Eat more
@PrevMedHealth can you please consider adding chinese subtitles too for your videos so i can show the chinese speaking folks? I believe there are others that may resonate with me as well.
This video is comprehnsive and can benefit those older generations! Tyvm!
TYVM! We launch foreign language channels in Portuguese, Hindi, & Spanish this month. I asked Aspen & Jesus to update you & me on status of Chinese subtitles.
ummm Thank you but no where did I see your protocol? Ie what else are you doing to reverse or slow down disease. Ie nato , d3 , etc..? Where do I find that?
we have plenty of videos, the thing is there is no one size fits all solution, no recipe that works for everyone, Dr Brewer provides tailored made care to each patient, YT provide overall recommendations, no medical advice
How do I find a doctor near me that understands all of this?
How much does high fructose corn syrup weigh in for part of the problem because the body doesn’t know how to break it down so it stores it as fat?
Good point. In previous jobs, I functioned as a toxicologist. HFCS fits the definition of a poison, & is wreaking far more destruction than the obvious & more well-known ones (like Carbon monoxide).
@Dr Brewer. 2 Questions please. 1. Are you accepting Medicare Original? We also have PLan F and ChampVA. 2. We want all those labs in this video from Quest. What is the approximate out of pocket for them for the two of us. We are in our 70s in moderate, not excellent, health today.
Unfortunately, we have no more slots for medicare patients; the out-of-pocket cost can go up to 2,000 USD; I'll recommend calling the phone at the end of the video or visiting the prevmed website also in the description of the video
@@jesusnoguez2376 Thank you for your response. Can we buy those lab, cimt, and ogtt tests with the same format as Dr Brewer shows online?
Thanks for your interest. Also, you can get an assured price (MUCH lower) by going through us. (Labs negotiate better prices with doctors’ offices & insurance companies.) call Tracey or Miranda at 859-721-1414
@@PrevMedHealth Thank you PrevMed for your response. I will call next week. Although we live in Arizona, and are fully retired, we would make the trip to NC to see Dr. Brewer if we could use Medicare Original. I comprehend your Medicare slots are full, but should your office ever have openings for us, then we would gladly accept.,
Understand they are doctors. Not charity
Excellent Video. I try to convince my husband regarding Cereal, I don’t buy it but he eats it when traveling.
Yeah . Printed a response and sent it and my phone

How about sprnt swimming without breathing for 25m or 50meters
A thorough treatise on cholesterol is found in the book, "What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Cholesterol."
Dr. Brewer I think this is one of your best videos. Watching your channel has helped me on the road to better metabolic health. After seeing Dr Roy Taylor’s ideas on diabetes I think I am a TOFI. Although fairly thin all of my life I am addicted to sugar, By middle age I went from 145 to 176. Guess what CVD. I have lost weight all my lipid numbers are good except HA1C which went up to 5.8 from 5,7 . Ia m on low dose Crestor and niacin so worried these are affecting my BG. I am now monitoring my fasting BG better and taking some berberine and my levels are improving. I am walking a lot and adding in HIIT with creatinine, my muscles and leg muscles are improving. I feel younger and feel great. Thanks. I will be sharing this video with my Docs.
thank you for sharing
Muscle mass, specially after middle age
Muscles are the ultimate anti aging
Vs frailty sarcopenia
Please rest 🙏 you look really tired
Thanks. But I feel great!
What does it mean if your eosinophil levels are low?
Good question. Decreased allergies usually. Elevated levels usually signal allergies, helminths (worms), or other forms of inflammation.
But why do you need an OGGT if you know you’re prediabetic?
you might have diabetes and not know it, also helps track disease progress and severity along with insulin function
I think you mean Fasting Insulin test , instead of an oral glucose tolerance test.Your insulin can be "normalising " blood glucose to mask the symptoms of diabetes for quiet a while ,apparently , so you might think you're only pre-diabetic when you are actually diabetic. But that insulin will be chronically elevated, and show up on a Fasting Insulin test .Then ,you can work at changing what you're eating etc a lot sooner ,and minimise any damage that would otherwise be caused.
Do this don't do that, eat this don't eat that, everybody's metabolism is different. Have to find out what works best for yourself and monitor your blood and what resides in it after the fact.
It's a really good point. Too much internet advice lacks information about each individual’s unique metabolism.
Are you aware of any clinics in San Antonio Tx,. that would be like yours?
No. But I have an act i e license in Texas. Why don't you see us?
I'm 67 and have very low fasting insulin. At the border of the low range of the test.
Excellent!
@@PrevMedHealth Thanks. It's a daily work on food choices, as my father died of complications from diabetes. While I grant myself some leeway, I mostly follow a low-carb diet since about the last 15 years.
So I've come to the conclusion that I have black fly disease. I killed a fly the other day and it was a flesh fly. I'm trying to get an appointment with a doctor that will diagnose it I got a picture of the fly that I killed the other day. I also got pictures of what's coming out of my urine and my butt and and what's coming out of my skin I held one of the worms on tweezers.
I'm tired of these lousy doctors that they don't do anything and then they write that they do all this stuff on your chart so when I saw I went through all the notes and stuff that they wrote it's just I'm so upset and I've been suffering so bad for 4 years I had to take two forbearances I'm already disabled my back I can barely walk and my hip has to be replaced. But this skin thing really took me down I've been stuck and down in the basement of my house for 4 years living downstairs and I didn't go anywhere I've been depressed cuz it looks awful. And they said I was a picker I'm like I've never been a pic or in my whole life I've never even had sores like I had beautiful skin before this. So I I ripped them up up and down in messages to them and said they're so wrong and I explained everything that the doctor said I was obese because of my calorie intake maybe it's cuz I can't walk I said I'm just so hurt right now I feel so depressed I'm in a lot of pain I got to take a shower and go see the doctor for the first time and I got all my evidence I think I should print the pictures out though at CVS and pick them up or something Even my lymph nodes were swollen I went for a mammogram and then I had to get a then she sent me to get an ultra ultrasound or something but I didn't get it ultrasound they said it was just you know swelling lymph nodes they should go down you know if they don't let him know and then I went back there cuz I broke out with these worms and I had red patches all over me and there was all swollen and half of my face That's when I went in cuz they've gotten bad. I just I'm in I'm in Massachusetts and Springfield and I can't find a decent doctor that will help me with this nobody knows about it.
Bilary - Pancreatic junction & inflammation or obstruction of is a cause of imbalance between carbohydrates, protein & fats metabolism. Yes , Pancrea has a duct delivering insulin to Duodenum .
Stress constricts the flow of Bile & Insulin & inflammation & Gall bladder stones. So this point where Bile & Pancreatic ducts meet & flow without obstruction is a major health balancing factor.
Insulin regulation not RESISTANCE is a major factor. Yes, Pancreas overstimulation by all sorts of stimulants is to be regulated .....
