Who else just randomly found Dr. Ekberg videos one day and had been watching ever since?! 🤷
It's been a few years, but yes-- when I got serious about clean keto and OMAD, I discovered the awesomeness of this YT channel!
Me.
This one
He popped up in my feed about a year ago. I've been watching ever since.

I was found diabetic type one at the age of 9. Now i'm 53. Been giving myself beetween 30 to 100 hundred units à day for most of my life . Eating things i shoud not have mostly every day but never stopping giving myself insuline. Ive change my life since november with your teaching and now my insuline is never going over 20 in 1 day . Still have lots to do in my life but your teaching is giving me hope for my future . Thank you . ( Sorry for my writing )❤
I take care of a type 1 diabetic (my son) since he was 2, it’s tough and stuff like this actually encourages me so I appreciate your writing very much
@@brusselsproutboy7005Sorry to hear about your boy having this at such tender age. Pls read up on benefits of camel's milk (it has natural insulin).
Your journey is truly inspiring! Living with type 1 diabetes for so many years and now seeing such a significant improvement is incredible. It’s amazing how the right guidance can bring such positive changes. Wishing you continued success on your health journey, and thank you for sharing your story! ❤

Thank you for your nice summary
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
From being over weight and my panic attacks and anxiety for many years the only time I wanted to go somewhere was shopping for food earlier in the morning I would get to eating, laying around the house after cooking my weight got up to 412 lbs I didn't take any vitamins and my health was bad. Thanks for Dr Ekberg videos it's a blessing to me
Everyone 💕 love you Dr Ekberg ❤
Doctors like Ekberg, Berry and Berg are saving lives with their information. I hope our healthcare system learns from these men.
Hi Dr Ekbert, I wanted to say thank you for your assistance recovering my health. Im mid 60s. I
started following your nutritional and intermittent fasting advice in November 2023. My results are as follows: weight loss 50 lbs (now 165lbs), BMI now normal, A1C from 7.9 to 4.8. HOMA-IR is now 1.21. My internist never once ordered an insulin test until I requested it ! One amazing result is my PSA has dropped from 12.4 to 5.55 . My urologist never mentioned diabetes all the years we were seeing my PSA rise, but now it's down he confirmed that reversing diabetes is the reason for dramatic improvement in prostate health. When my PSA rose from 6.3 to 12.6 it triggered two biopsies and two MRIs and ultimately a very expensive nuclear medicine test, fortunately I do not have prostate cancer , but NOBODY ever mentioned diabetes as a possible cause of prostate problems. You might follow up on the prostate health angle. Thanks again!
I think Dr. Sten Ekberg deserves a nobel prize for saving life's !!!!!
Dr. Ekberg saved my life. I'm living again thanks to his videos. I went from a stroke last year and 240 lbs, I'm now 160 lbs and walking miles at a time. I have so much energy. One of my biggest sadnesses last year was not having a lap for my grandbaby to sit on... Now I have a lap she can sit on and I run around with her more than her parents. It's been life changing for sure.
❤The whole time my doctors said do not eat red meat ,egg yolks , fats, coconut oil, and especially Do NOT do fasting they were Wrong my , My triglyceride LDL and other blood work results never been so good because I listen to Dr Ekberg for 3 years now.❤❤
Your doctor is not a healer, he is a drug dealer!!!
On top of that he tells those lies about red meats, eggs, butter so you stay sick and keep going back to him so he keeps he is bank account full!
Obama Clinton care for you 😂
Because they try to keep us sick...by they I mean the monsters of the food and pharma industries
Thank you @donrundy3767. I really appreciate your feedback and I'm thrilled about your success. The purpose of my channel is to explain the principles and mechanisms of health in such a way that you start gaining an understanding and respect for the miracle that is the human body. I spend so much time on it because when we get "the why" and start owning the mechanisms we become empowered for life . Comments like yours makes it all worthwhile. 😄
I'm in my 60's and the only time I saw a doctor as an adult was when I got run over by a car. Haven't been sick since I caught the flue back in 1992 because my folks taught me how to eat right.
I just found your channel. I am 61, started carnivore on 8/22 and have lost 60 lbs and was able to get off bp and reflux meds. In the last week I have started waking up in the night in a complete sweat with my heart racing, and I can feel my pulse all throughout my body 24/7. I am thinking stress as my sister just passed a few months ago, and I went to ER this week, they did a CT scan with dye and found a 6 cm ovarian cyst near my left ovary. My sister that passed had ovarian cancer so of course this is troubling. Going next week to start diving into this situation. My blood glucose was 168 at the hospital, but normally it is around 88 to 90, at least since I started my carnivore journey. Great information here.
Some people drink lemongrass 3x a day. Essential oil Palo Santo. Chg of lifestyle,ways to manage stress and avoid holding on to grief. Hope you will be in pink of health soon.
Blessings to you during this tough time! Angels are with you.
Re heart: check thyroid (ne a liver issue), and check electrolytes (esp potassium). Best wishes.
Research iodine, all hormones need idodine

I hope one day that all doctors could be like Dr.Ekberg
Thank you @DonJohnson-t2b. I really appreciate the compliment. Thanks for watching.😄
Наша цивилизация убьёт себя раньше, чем это произойдёт. К сожалению мы идём по пути самоуничтожения.
A tall, Swedish, former Olympian? 😀
I was pre-diabetic, suffered from migraines a lot, my skin was full of achne, cravings all the time, bad mood when hungry, headaches if I delayed my next meal. And I was super skinny. My life changed by changing my food and habits. Now, I train 3-4 times a week, I gained 10 kgs, I just have 2 meals a day. I do 16/8 intermittent fasting every day. This is what I eat in total in those two meals most of the time: 250gr high fat meat, 1 avocado, 9 eggs, 6 slices of cheese, 2 strips of bacon, 2 cups of black coffee, some olives. I workout and lift weights fasted. After that, I come home and have my first meal. If I feel hungry, which is rare, outside my fasting window, I drink salty water with lemon. I take supplements: 5 gr of creatine for power, magnesium, and potassium. Never felt this great in my life.
I’m 47 years old. My insulin and glucose was so high, I was forced to join keto, carnivore, and keto-carnivore immediately . My A1C was 16.1 and my resting glucose was 550. This explains why my lower blood pressure number wouldn’t drop below 98 after taking two blood pressure medicines.
I’m a trucker and it’s difficult to eat well on the road and sleep well consistently with every day being different with appt times, traffic jams, and wait times to load and unload. I was 305 lbs at my highest a few years ago but with testing out water fasting methods and intermittent fasting, I was able to get down to 250 lbs but was stuck and only my top BP number could reach normal levels with BP medications
After avoiding blood test due to hating needles, I gave in late 10/2024 and found out I was a diabetic. I immediately went to keto diet/carnivore diet and didn’t see any results but stayed on it knowing it may take 6 months to a year for results . I had a horrible diet for years and consuming lots of sodas daily, as much as 80 oz due to stress of the job.
I’ve finally kicked my bad eating habits and finally I broke the 240lb barrier today 1/10/25, started weight lifting again and walking 4500+ steps per day. Since I don’t drive trucks from January to early April due to snow and ice, I’m going harder to reverse these numbers and become healthy again.
I can remember being in tip top shape my senior year of high school in 1996 at 175lbs benching over 315 lbs and maxing out 18 reps of 225lbs and deadlifting over 400lbs to barely benching 150lbs now lol. I’m going to visit a doctor to check my results but not the one I visited back in 10/24 that prescribed me to take Metformin and insulin. It didn’t make sense to take more Insulin if I already had high insulin and so I knew Metformin had side effects. Thank God I was watching many of these TH-cam Doctors, especially Dr Ekberg.
Instead of Metformin, I’m consuming Berberine twice a day before meals and now I’m keeping my carbs below 20 but consuming some broccoli or asparagus before my meals. Avocados, breakfast sausage,hamburger, bacon, pecans, and Rebel ice cream(made from lots of coconut oil and 1-3 carbs a serving)etc 1-2 meals a day has become my meal plan. I know my numbers have dropped because my weight is going down finally.
Don’t give up if you been doing keto or carnivore and you don’t see immediate results like others. If your A1C and glucose is very high, it’ll take longer to see results but stay consistent and you will finally break through to becoming healthy again.
I don't know how you even had a cdl with that history.
@@davebryant8050 easy, they don’t check your A1C or glucose unless sugar shows in your urine during that test. I usually didnt consume carbs and water fasted the week prior. I would drink Diddy soda prior also and avoid any food at least 48 hours before my exam
God bless our truck drivers. They make America work.
@@davebryant8050 avoided carbs and sugar about a week before each exam
Great job! 😊
Ja nie jestem lekarzem a wiem już z paru kanałów youtub, że przede wszystkim powinno się badać poziom insuliny a nie glukozy, to dlaczego lekarze tego nie wiedzą. Jak oni są uczeni i dlaczego nie uzupełniają swojej wiedzy. Dziękuję za wartościową wiedzę. 👍💓💓💓
it's been 3 weeks without carbs and sugar I just stop and got to walking 3 times a day with my music , water ,vitamins
keep this up for 30 years!
I did the same and look and feel so much better. Just a word of warning…if you go for a blood test soon, don’t be shocked if your cholesterol and LDL goes up. It’s your body’s response to these changes and should normalize. Don’t get pushed into taking anything prematurely or ever.
@TehPwnerer 30 years? You rather starve then have some carbs if you had no choice?
That's awesome @josephmartin-u5f. How has this affected your health and how you feel? 😄
I tried but only succeeded 5 days. Got any tips?
Dziękuję Panu za znakomite treści na temat zdrowia.Interesuję się tą tematyką, ale do tej pory nie spotkałam tak wartościowego materiału o insulinooporności i nie tylko.Bardzo przystępnie i obrazowo tłumaczy Pan wszelkie mechanizmy jakie zachodzą w organizmie, zależności w prawidłowym funkcjonowaniu.Czuję ogromną satysfakcję 🙂
In traditional China, a doctor was paid a retainer which stopped when the client got sick. Incentives are the opposite in USA "sickcare".
Everyone should check their insulin levels! I used to have insulin resistance, which led to fatigue and brain fog. After cutting down on sugar and eating protein- and fiber-rich foods, my condition improved significantly. Staying healthy is the top priority .
Thank you Video 🥰
Absolutely bang on the money Dr. Ekberg.
I am 57.5 years of age and have a body of a 30 something.
High protein, low carb and lifting weights works for me.
Thank you as always for the great videos.
Warm regards,
Simon
Genetics may play a role. My dad is 78. He's on no meds, works out daily and can deadlift 375 lbs. He looks great for his age but he eats a lot of carbs. Literally a loaf of bread a week by himself and desert after every supper.
@macemace5196 Nice
Respect
On the carnivore diet, I've lost 30 lbs and lowered my blood pressure from 139/90 to 120/73. I've also lowered my blood sugar from 123 to 102. I feel great and satiated.
@@Whiskey3169 what is carnivore diet please?
@@auntymary248 beef bacon eggs and seafood
@@auntymary248 The carnivore diet is a way of eating where I stick to only animal-based foods like meat, fish, eggs, and butter. I don’t eat any plant-based foods-no fruits, vegetables, grains, or legumes. The idea is to focus on protein and fat while cutting out carbs completely. People who follow it, like me, often say it helps with digestion, reduces inflammation, and supports weight loss.
Awesome!!🎉🎉
How long it took you to lose 15kg,?
I've been 6 years of no sugar
❤ Good Job 👍
@@marycarman1730 when you say no sugar do you mean no carbs at all ?
I did my once a year chocolate treat last night😂 it's really once in a GREAT while, the whole bar, that lasts for months!
@@auntymary248 Carbohydrates convert to sugar, so possibly no to very low carbs. I’m not sure about the poster’s comment, but I’d be surprised if I have 1-2 grams carbs a day. I’m on Day 105 of Carnivore and loving it! My reason for starting it 2as that my blood work showed I was pre diabetic and my Dr wanted to put me on metformin. I said “No” to metformin and to type 2. I’m getting my labs done again in February. A1C went down to 5.7 from 6.1 in 63 days.
And now you can learn English😂
My first head chef died in February of 2023 at 96. I asked him how he avoided diabetes. He attributed it to cinnamon. Last Spring, my A1C was 10.1. Last summer, my A1C was 8.1. Last month, my A1C was a 6.5. I am consuming carbs. I take a tablespoon of cinnamon and a tablespoon of fiber each morning and each night
Simple yet elaborated. Thank u so much doctor.
a Fasting Insulin test was one of the most eye opening and wake up call I had done last year. I can't wait now to test it again this year. Switched to primary Carnivore in July '24 so I am expecting a way better report on my fasting insulin levels

@@susanboersma3857 wore a CGM for about 3 months. Everyone should have that experience, it will change your relationship with food
Thanks!
🙏🏾
Why can’t I get a doctor like this? 63 year old woman. 15 lbs overweight. Desk job. Been dropping my A1C for the last 18 months.I’ve resisted keto for a long while. It would not be sustainable for me. I eat Mediterranean, plant leaning, with meat a few times a week. My lab work isn’t terrible, but on the boarder of everything. I’m actively searching for a doctor that my insurance will cover. Current doctor not happy with me at all. If they say guidelines one more time, I may explode! As in you are in the guidelines for a statin, or guidelines for metformin. Nope. Just got approved for a Cgm, after fighting the insurance. Hopefully that gives me insight into my metabolism - post menopause. No one talks about all these numbers in relationship to older women! Functional medicine not being covered by insurance is the biggest outrage in healthcare today. It’s overwhelming trying to figure this out on my own. All that said, how many carbs in low carb, not Keto, but low carb. I get food is just 1 tool. Also following Dr Casey Means and Glucose Goddess.
I got a no prescription Stelo cgm and found the worst things were: bread, oatmeal and of course anything sweet.
It is really poor of society that female-centered research has not been conducted more. Especially for the time approaching and after menoupase. Considering females make up just over half the population, that is a lot of fine people who have a paucity of health guidance, are likely to suffer more than men at their age.
edit: The test 'normal' ranges are targets for "ideal". ie "model human, perfect health". Not many people are model humans or have ideal health. You can be 'fine', perfectly healthy and still have values outside of "ideal".
Thanks for all your work in getting the message out there about tests available.
Doctor, i have 13kg since mid November 2024 after getting all the info from you, not injected a single needle in my body and my blood sugars are between 4.8 to 6.0 at max. Currently i am eating every 48 hours.
Oh my God!!!…I’ve been insulin resistant for years now and been so unwell!!..chronic fatigue, very overweight (not able to lose weight), skin tags, depression, anxiety…and the list goes on!!..my mother was also insulin resistant and ended up with dementia.
I’m a 61 year old female and thanks to Dr Ekberg and another couple on TH-cam, I’m now reversing my insulin resistance and lost 6 kilos!..bless you for the work and education you provide for us!💙🩵💙
Same here...lots of skin tags and little energy
@ are you managing to reverse it?
What did you do ? Keto ? IF ?
100% correct info
Thank You @P19H42 😄
Prioritize health by recognizing these early warning signs and considering lifestyle changes that can lead to improved well-being. Through awareness and education, the goal is to empower individuals to take control of their health and prevent the onset of serious conditions associated with insulin resistance. Well said Dr Ekberg!❤
he is not Berg ..... Berg is the one from the Scientology cult.
@ 😂
@@maskichefБерг - саентолог?!!
@@ЕленаЖурская-л6ь yes. "Dr." Eric Berg is in the Scientology cult.
I was diagnosed type 2 in 2020..
I just turned 60 that year..
I hear so much about excessive thirst and urination I have never had this...
Odd. Frequent urination is more common than thirst.
I just got diagnosed again with breast cancer. Had breast cancer stage 2 when I was 26 years old and went through mastectomy and chemotherapy. When I was diagnosed again with breast cancer, I told the surgeon that chemotherapy is hard no. It is a situation that I would not want to go through anymore, only reason I survived it was because of my strong desire to live and also took a lot of supplements that supported and strengthened my immune system.
Now that I’m in my 50’s I am girding my loins to battle this out again but this time, looking at my diet, nutrition, understanding more my body, willpower and strengthen my faith and relationship with God.
I’m glad that I’ve found this channel to help me with my journey.

Thanks for another excellent presentation! Information should be taught in all schools. Would help prevent many illnesses. But would reduce profitability of healthcare businesses.
Merci beaucoup Dr Stein Ekberg pour ce vidéo très clair et pertinent
This just reminded me of something, I completely changed my habits by finding out book called Health and Beauty Mastery by Julian Bannett. It has been censored.
I heard about that book before, thanks for sharing
Why ?
I always learn and improve my health with each posting from you ❤
Good morning Dr. Ekberg! Thank you for this video! It's such good information, and is really helpful! It's very encouraging because I'm doing an extended fast, and this information is very timely! Anyone looking to improve their health can be helped with this information. Thank you for all your efforts and work on making these videos! You've helped me so much by getting the information out there! Hope this finds you having a great day, and have a wonderful weekend!😊
Dr Ekberg, thank you for all the knowledge you've given us. You changed my life eversince I accidentally discovered your channel. I'm not overweight, but doesn't mean I'm healthy. I do minimum 15-16 hours (max 20) of fasting daily for almost 4 years now & what you teach us is true. I felt different since then, & been wary & aware more than ever of the things I eat. Now there are times I fail because of certain situations, but I promote you to all the people I talk to so it will help you get your message to more people. You save lives & for that saying "Thank you" isn't enough.
I followed Dr. Ekberg’s fasting and keto back in Jan 2022. By September ‘22, my triglycerides dropped to 68 (from over 200) and my glucose was 90 (from 130). My glucose is 99 today and Triglycerides are 86. I sometimes have bouts of low blood sugar and that might be due to Losartin which can lower glucose. I was historically hypoglycemic as a younger g person.
Grazie per le ottime informazioni !!!
Absolutely very important healthy guidance
Wow, this video is so informative! It's amazing how our body sends subtle warning signs when something is off. Thanks for breaking it down so clearly-super helpful for staying on top of health! 👏👏
¡Gracias Dr. Sten! Escucho sus videos en español. Dios lo bendiga. Abrazo GRANDE desde Argentina.

Thank you Dr,Ekberg for explaining everything so well.
Very informative. Thank you for sharing 🙏🙏
You are welcome @balasandarkalieannan300. I hope it was helpful. Thanks for watching 😄
For people with diabetes, simply cutting down on starches until you stop consuming them entirely, and within just one month, I guarantee that your insulin levels will decrease.
Multumesc mult.
Binecuvântări Divine!
Thanks Dr Ekberg for this very important video! Really appreciate it! God bless you and your work!
Amazing presentation with valuable information.
I've been doing keto for 2 years. No more pre diabetes, no more obesity. Oh , and My Wife says the ol soldier stands to attention much better . Happy Wife, happy Husband. 😊
I'm 67 with BMI 30. Worried about my blood sugar and possible diabetes I had my blood insulin level checked. It was 4.6 - so I guess I'm pretty safe for a while.
You're good. Here to brag? 😅
@mettamorph4523 Nope. Here just to tell you that the narrative about skyrocketing insulin doesn't necessarily need to be your destiny even if you've been overweight your entire life.
@@spurgendahl HOMA IR? Desired value is 1 - 2. But 4.6 is great HbA1C score.
@mettamorph4523 Didn't mention HOMA-IR. My value was 0.9, believe it or not.
You may be confusing glucose level with insulin level.
I love this video, it really helps alot
Thank You Dr Sten, very useful informations!
Beautiful video! Congratulations

Good morning @rashmiyadav2263 😄
Just an amazing dissertation on INSULIN
So true about doctors only looking at results that are flagged as being out of range. I was diagnosed pre diabetic 3 months ago, when my HbA1C registered 47mmol/mol.
But going all the way back to my first test 6 years ago, the results show it has gone - 35, 37, 38, 41 and finally 47. Its now obvious to me that all the signs showed I was heading that way, but it was ignored as I hadnt hit the prediabetic limit at 42. My resultbat 41 should have been a red flag, but the doctor ignored it. If only I'd known what I now know, I could have addressed it earlier!
Now I've gone low carb, lost 9 kilos and 4" off my waist. Got a Cgm and watched what my body was doing, now, A1C is back to 34, where it last was 7 years ago...
This progression of how to see if IR is improving or not is very helpful for me as I have seen some improvements over the past 5 years since going low carb Keto. But I have messed with my diet (went carnivore in 2022) and some labs have been better than others, making it difficult to gauge if what I am doing is of benefit or not. My skin tags were gone rather quickly but I still have a growth on one eye lid that my eye Dr says is not a skin tag and has been very stubborn - until about a week ago, it now seems to be shrinking. This is about 3 months after my last labs that showed a decrease in fasting insulin from 11 to 8 (previously it had been down to 4 when I was still strict keto and lost 80 lbs). A1C, TG and HDL all good the whole time. AST and LDL were not. Waist went up from 34 to 37 on Carnivore and visceral fat went up after I started exercise in 2023 and I gained 10 lbs (8 was muscle).
My BG is pretty stable in the 80's but occasionally as low as 70 or higher in the 90's range - for short terms. I do intermittent fasting and my natural ketones run anywhere from .2 to .7; but I take exogenous ketones on workout days and use MCT oil because it helps my cognition, focus & energy on those days.
I get headaches some mornings which I look at as probably dehydration so I put electrolytes in my water to treat it but stopped adding salt to my coffee because of my higher B/P.
So you can see how confusion sets in since I have had all of those 10 signs at one time or another. Now if I could just lose those last 20 lbs! I feel like I have tried everything to get out of this stall which I am pretty sure was because of IR - even though it is getting better (I think)... (Female, age 75)
Good morning ❤
Good morning to You @JosieStev 😄
Vv nicely explained thank u
that was awesome - well done!
This is explains everything so well! I can relate it to my brainfog, cravings, and weight gain that was so unusual for me. I definitely need to watch this several more times!

Thank you Sensei. Greetings from Caracas/Venezuela
As always.
Very valuable information.
Thank You
You are welcome @bartlomiejk3879. I hope it was helpful. Thanks for watching 😄
😮THANKS DR
Merci infiniment docteur bravo Bravo pour cette superbe vidéo
Thank you Dr for this life saving video - will you please make a video on the link between Saturated fat and insulin resistance?
Gracias por esta información importante.
Love your sense of humor.
Hi procesor, pls make many shorts with main information
In the Netherlands we have a dietitian who trains other dietitians to do insulin resistance tests, so hopefully this may become standard procedure. It is not difficult but it takes a few hours waiting time to check every hour for three hours or so. Dr Josef Kraft did this and her name is Harriet Verkoelen
I love your electrolytes EUVEXIA. For me it's like having an afternoon mock margarita. The only problem is that I want more than one, but the label says no.
Dziękuję ślicznie ❤❤❤
Excellent video once again. Now I understand better how high insulin also can make you tired... I only had one side of the coin. Thank you Dr. Ekberg
Thanks dr Ekberg ❤
Thanks for the sharing. If Dr can share how to reverse the problem.
Age 82, I was diagnosed as prediabetic. My diet is currently mostly carnivore with an occasional avocado. It has taken 2 months of this to bring glucose readings down to 102. My triglycerides and blood pressure are NOT elevated. I think I’m going to remain very high protein as a lifestyle. Keto wasn’t reducing the glucose reading. I must be carb intolerant at this age.
Can you get your insulin tested, A1C? That would be good to be sure.
@ I finally badgered my doc into ordering H1-c. Insulin has NEVER been tested. This is part of the reason that these national stats have such high diabetes levels. Just getting the fasting glucose masks the insulin levels. I was complaining of not being able to lose weight for 5 years with glucose being 99-or 100. It was a tip off…yet my doc remains unconcerned. His stance is diabetes is slow moving and at age 82, there’s NO problem. Maybe I have to get neuropathy before he thinks there is a problem. This entire situation was preventable. it’s going to take people like me SQUAKing loudly to get Medicare testing criteria to change. 🐓🐓🐓
Similar experience. At 83 I was informed I was "borderline pre-diabetic". A1c = 5.8; no test for insulin. No significant health problem previously. I questioned the meaning of the test results, given my age. Doc agreed there is not much data on those of my age. I started doing a lot of research & testing my BG frequently. For me exercise, increasing protein and good fats and reducing carbs seemed to help, as well as controlling portions and timing of meals and sleep. Have discovered most doctors have little interest in elderly - except to sell pharma and surgeries. We are not potential customers for much longer!
@@JohnMcCW41 They have little interest regardless. You really need to care about yourself and take charge of your health. I'm 54 and I have to beg just to get cholesterol on a physical, getting vitamin D and other uncommon tests seems impossible!
@ John, You and I are old. That doesn’t mean we have lost our voices. There is something very WRONG with how Medicare is paying for testing. They’d rather pay for insulin (Big Pharma) rather than Rx an insulin test. Our prediabetes was preventable. Why let these situations escalate into amputations and blindness? It’s criminal.
Thanks Doctor, have a nice weekend.
Amazing presentation
Thank you información
Good stuff Doc.!
What’s the best way to bring down -A1c fast doc? Fasting blood sugar seems to be always high in 110-120-range ! How to bring fasting sugars down?
What are you eating or drinking? Do you eat close to bed time?
For one off, exercise ideally HIIT.
Long term cut carbs in all forms, engage in keto and exercise.
I would like dr Ekberg to answer me thank you folks! Appreciate your replies but don’t bother- will wait for doc to answer me whenever he is free to do so ! 😊
@@PushpaBalakrishna-f1wthen perhaps make an appointment vs Social Media comment sections.
Thank You @PushpaBalakrishna-f1w. The fastest way would be a combination of intermittent fasting, low carb diet (keto) and exercise. The exercise should be a combinations of a small amount of very short duration HIIT and longer duration low intensity, such as walking. That way you can use up the glucose in the body without triggering a lot of cortisol which will stimulate gluconeogenesis. Still remember that everyone responds differently so try a lot of different things additionally - meditation, ACV etc. I've made dozens if not hundreds of videos on this. 😄
Hello doctor, I have a question that is bothering me and it really bothers me I am almost insulin resistant and I started fasting 16.8 for almost 5 days and I really reduced my sugar and carbohydrate intake to almost zero. But my question is, why am I always hungry? In all the fast hours and my second question is that I have a feeling of thinking a lot and I think I am stressed Could this be from cortisol?
@AmirAmiri-r1z I'm not a doctor but I'm studying nutrition and in my opinion you are doing a lot of things at the same time. This can very probably increase your cortisol levels, making your sugar levels go up which will lead to glucose spikes that will make you tired and hungry. I would start by just reducing carbohydrates and adding more protein in breakfast ( which has shown to increase satiety throughout the rest of the day). Do strength training (or physical activity that you enjoy doing, more muscle=better glucose control) sleep well, and if you are relaxed enough then try fasting little by little. But always ask a good nutritionist who can guide you!! Good luck!!
hello Thank you very much for your good advice I almost left that stage, but I still feel a little hungry, but I don't feel tired at all. I lost 3 kilos in these 5 days and I really feel better. Thank you for your reply.@@GemmaVenture
Have you done a “what I eat in a day “. I would be very interested
*Sugar rollercoaster = beware
*insulin prevents break down of fat
*willpower + LCHF = reset hunger
*Change from carb dependent to fat dependent
*Blood work coarse
Thank you so much...
While I’m in ketosis usually I’m around upper 60’s to 70’s. If I get to 80’s usually that means I’ve been kicked out of ketosis.
Thank You @dillydanny-o8807 for sharing. That sounds about right 😄
@@drekbergMy morning BG are usually around 100-105 and KT around 1.0-2.0, I take it even before drinking water. BG seem a bit high?
The Blood Work Course link correct? It's taking me to your Tee Shirt merchandise shop...
