As an advanced biology teacher who has an undergraduate and Masters degree in molecular biology I want to say bravo. You did a great job explaining medium chain triglycerides keep up the great work
Thanks for the lesson. I have been using MCT oil for over 4 months now I just added it to my normal grocery bill. I have Hypothyroidism, Obesity, Pre-Diabetes and the oil helps with brain fog, satiety , weight loss and help reshape my body. About few months ago, I gave up starches and sugar and I used to have bad cravings but soon as I begun taking 2Tbs of MCT oil everyday in my ACV or green tea all symptoms disappear. My HgbA1c and glucose reading improve to the point that my Endocrinologist and Family doctor asked me what I was doing. I did not tell them because I have realized conventional doctors are not giving me what I need to fix my myriad of health issues. I have forgotten to also mention because of giving up starches, sugar and taking MCT Oil I don’t have to take the medication Lyrica ( 4 tabs a day) anymore for Nerve pain in hands and feet. Keep up the good work you and others in providing comprehensive information for us to have choices to try diverse alternatives. .
@@stevenkyle2313 PEMDAS is the worst thing to teach kids because they incorrectly do them in order (multiply, then divide, then add, then subtract). It should be PE(MD)(AS).

Just wanted to give you heartfelt thanks for this. I started Keto a month ago not so much for weight loss but for general health and well-being. I was skeptical at first about adding MCT oil to my butter coffee, but I couldn’t figure out WHY I felt more energized and focused after only ONE cup of coffee (used to drink 4). Please keep putting out science-based vids explaining the benefits (and potential detriments) of Keto diet attributes. Thanks again.
The best Mct oil is the bulletproof brand brain octane oil. I tried a few different varieties of mct and I could definitely tell the difference. When you take the brain octane oil I am sure I can instantaneously feel the MCTs taking effect and I have the most amazing clarity of thought and stamina for the rest of the day.
I love when you nerd out, I have a bio degree so this makes sense to me. I will start incoperating MCTs into my new keto diet. Great graphics by the way.
Thanks for the explanation Thomas. Greatly appreciated, my daughter was diagnosed with VLCADD at birth, she has been exclusive to no other oil but MCT since birth. I’m always looking for good information to educate myself and eventually pass it on to my daughter. Looking forward to the next video!
Wow what a great teacher you are. I'm sure your multitasker with many talents. Thank you Thomas. Praying for you and your beautiful family and furries too.
I also love the whiteboard talks - they are a great way to review things I learned in biology and chemistry classes in college. I was like, "Glycerol molecules, micelles, lipase....oh yeah, I remember now".
Love the whiteboard talks and all the knowledge you continuously drop! Down 25 lbs since November 1 and I can even see the six pack under the ever-dwindling coat of chips and ice cream that I'm shedding. Thanks and keep it up!
Jon Lundy I have been trying this woe since July. Not much weight loss but I'm down inches and clothes feel a lot better. I also am beginning to see the hint of a six pack which I haven't seen since high school
I prefer Dr. Ken Berry. Dr. Berg seemed off to me but who am I, right? Nobody. And he seemed to be helping so many people. So I didn’t think much of it until it came to light that he’s deep into the church of Scientology and a large portion of the proceeds from his overpriced supplements go to that Church. Then when I saw the way he treated his own son, I thought: so that’s why Berg set off my spidey senses. But to each his own. He’s not forcing his beliefs on his audience and he is free to worship wherever he wants. I guess it all boils down to whether people are willing to make purchases that benefit a “church” that has traumatized so many.
Love these videos bro! My wife and I are 31 and are learning so much about our bodies and how to live a healthy ketogenic lifestyle from you and yours! :)
Very well educated, very well spoken, and very well informed. If only my biology teachers were as through as you, I would have enjoyed the class more. You would make an outstanding professor at any university. We need more professors like you in our education system.
I really had low hopes for this. I am very happy i watched this. This wasn't a simple list of benefits with no explanations as to why or how. This was one benefit (energy production) with plenty of information to explain why and how. I would love to see a video from you on how MCT oils are good for exterminating parasites, fungi and other harmful organisms. Also how it positively effects the colon or entire digestive tract. PLEASE UPLOAD MORE!
I really learned a lot this one. Great for when I explain why I'm having MCT and try to explain why I'm not storing it as fat. Other than "MCT oil can't be stored as fat."
Yes please, the science is fascinating. I like the white board explanation. Plus it gives everyone a chance to check your work. Trust but verify. Love what you’re doing.
This is why i trust on thomas's information he always provides explanation about how it happens and why it happens. Keep making videos like these. Have a good day.
Thomas, I'm fairly new to following you, but I am really enjoying your videos. Your style is thoughtful and pleasant and the presentation is meaningful and helpful. You are talking about complex stuff, and I haven't seen a video from you yet where it's been at all confusing. Great job my dude. Super helpful.
@Netball Friends oh who cares DR berg knows so damn much about nutrition and he has wrote many books on the subject.! He knows what he is talking about regardless and he says all the same stuff the real" doctors say anyway. So your point is ????💪🤔

My Man here explains things so damn well! Big girl appreciate you. Thanks to your keto and intermediate fasting tips I’ve literally lost 10 lbs my first week last week and definitely didn’t expect it . Maybe mostly water weight idk but I drink a gallon of water a day and dance

I’ve been studying all this stuff on my own for over 30 years. Stay true to your audience and keep up this incredible information. Peter Maggio
I watch a lot of your videos and you are very talented at teaching and getting the knowledge you have across efficiently and you make your videos very understandable even when a process is complex. Thank you
I love these videos where Thomas goes into more of the technical aspect and science of the digestion and absorption process. Thank you for being the top channel for this type of info!
You are spot on, thanks for sharing your knowledge. You are literally saving lives. You break it down for the layperson so well. Glad to support your products as you share so freely!
Love the details, how you break it all down, then pull it all together with a “So, what that means is...” thanks for the information!! Would love videos on eating to build muscle while in ketosis Sending you guys some 🇨🇦❤️
I liked the video but thought it would be in english- LOL. Although I couldn't understand most of what you said you did a great job of explaining it in laments terms. Long story short- MCT Oil = energy, ketones and no body fat. This is my 3rd day on Keto and I don't know how I'd understand it all without your video's! Thank you!
What are "short chain fatty acids", and what are sources of scfa, and how are scfa metabolized, and are they better than MCTs? LCT are bad. MCTs are good. Are SCFAs best or better?
As someone in the field, teaching and training. THANK YOU! I don't claim to know everything, but really amazed how little very intelligent people know on this stuff. It makes perfect sense to me, but oftentimes myself losing my clients by going too in depth. LOVE this simple, educational, factual informational video! Glad I came across this, just subscribed!

Hello I just subscribed , thank you for the videos. I have been on my keto journey for the last 2 1/2 weeks and have lost 5 pounds. I may not be alot so far but my bloating and back and foot pains have gone away almost completely. I'm sure with more hard work and watching videos like yours will help me in my life style changes.
I love how you broke down the chemistry aspect along with the physiology of these oils in the body. Only question is, “Does MCT also bypass the Krebs cycle?”
My dessert...... one square of extra dark chocolate (90). Sprinkle with mct oil. Put in microwave for one minute. Will turn out SO creamy. Dollop with whipping cream. Yum
I just had the aha!!!!! moment with your amazing explanation of MCT and it's benefits. You my friend are a true teacher. Thank you. I'm just starting out on my keto lifestyle and I believe it's not about fast weightloss but about the Education that is going to help me succeed 🤙🏽💞
If MCTs are easier to digest than LCTs, it seems logical that the short-chain triglycerides would be even better. I’m guessing that’s not the case. Can you explain?
Just looked it up. Short chain fatty acids are produced when fibre is fermented. If taken directly from our diet I think they are absorbed too quickly so we don't get as much benefit.
@@Edward-pd9qi The microbiome in the large intestine takes care of this for us. The fibre feeds the good bacteria, and they produce chemical messengers and hormones for the rest of the body. So, basically, you are right.
Thank you so much for this video. I'm new to Keto and I couldn't wrap my brain around this piece of it. It's ALL SATURATED fat and I didn't understand WHY it was ok to consume so much SF! Thanks for "breaking it down" for us.
Love the videos! Starting MCT oil tonight...a teaspoon for the first time ! Thanks for the top everyone! Question: I have 2 bigs issues since I am on the ketogenic diet: first is a very bad constipation. Nothing seem’s to work. I almost hope that I will react to MCT 😉 my other concern is that I have alot of hot flashes since I started the diet. Any suggestions?

On a sidenote I also happen to be in ketosis and consume 2 to 3 tablespoons of MCT oil a day especially before the gym
Danielle Jensen does mct oil break a fast?
