I’m in tears listening to this. I wish I’d heard it 40 years ago, but at least now it’s comforting to make sense of my life. After 10 years of twice daily bulimia, I left my husband and decided to not eat altogether because everything I chose to eat hurt like hell. Obviously I did eat, but very much under my own control and I kept making painful choices by choosing high fibre/low fat options. Eating with others was most anxiety making. I had many tests, but eventually found UA-cam doctors who introduced me to the Ketogenic way of eating. The meat and fat did not hurt my guts and I have made an amazing recovery eating mainly carnivore now. Over the years I have been so very lonely because it’s been too risky to let people close to me and who then insist I go out for meals with them!! Have been keto and now carnivore for over 3 years and in the last year weaned myself off my anxiety medication. I think I will always be afraid of gaining weight, but I am living proof that I can eat til I am full twice a day, on delicious meats, fish and eggs and my mood stays level, I rarely get hungry and I can cope with other people watching me eat. New friendships are still tricky because I find it difficult to trust people. I have remarried and have 2 wonderful children. My heartfelt feeling is that Dr Cywes is RIGHT about eating disorders.
❤❤❤
Glad ur healing. I know it was tough but tx for sharing ur story
Happy ending to your story, all best wishes!
*YOU, sir, are truly one of the most brilliant and original mavericks in all of medicine today.* You always manage to illuminate every subject you tackle. And you do it with a rare humility and true integrity. I am so sorry the medical world has been hijacked by the insurance companies and you have to fight to speak truth with conviction. Very profound respect for you.
I am almost 40 years as a nurse and still working. Despite working in Healthcare most of my life has been the Standard American Diet. I have atherosclerosis as a result of the S.A.D. way of eating. I am now Ketovore over the last year. I like that you say it like it is.
My husband's cardiologist insisted we take the VA's "nutrition class" after his 'cardiac event' and triple stent procedure in 2014. We eventually took the class and ended up walking out. Prior to that event we'd already started learning the truth about "heart healthy foods" and fake foods and had started making changes so when the "nutritionist" started sharing how we should be eating products labeled heart healthy and fake fats we ended up walking out. We knew she was full of It. When the cardiologist asked if we took the class we told him we walked out and why. He was genuinely shocked about what we told him. We have since learned sooo much more and are very glad we walked out of that class and refused to be forced to go back.
It is astounding the level of ignorance among medical staff and adherence to the nonsense of hi fiber- lo fat. Very rare to find independent thinkers- my NP is finally considering that there are options as a colleague reversed DM. I can only hope our lives will reflect a better way and that many others will walk out from the nonsense.
Hi Dr Cywes I have done well on keto over 130lbs but have had an on going problem with diarrhoea so decided to try carnivore and my bowel issues have virtually disappeared. So my take away from this is that after 40 years of an embarrassing condition and numerous medications and visits to specialists it all comes down to what I was eating.
Plantbased ibs and diarrhea quite common.
No money in health! It's all about the money!!
Can confirm!! I was in a cardiac rehab program as well after having two stents put in my heart. The cardiac rehab program told me to eat “Mediterranean diet” AND to avoid RED MEAT! Had 6 people in my rehab class. All the rehab kinesiologist had us do is walk and do some basic weights.
I am a 63 yr old retired pharmacist who has lost 22kg in 4 months.
You are one of the few REAL medical professionals I have seen over 43 years in the industry. This video is 100% spot on.
How does one contact you from South Africa ?
I had a consult with Doc and paid via pay pal. From South Africa. I used the WhatsApp number I think. Good luck.
Brilliant well done
Great talk! My husband is facing a liver transplant, and the dietician consult part of the workup was terrible! I called your office for help but was advised that the earliest appt was in July. I will call again and beg and plead for an earlier appointment with you. I don't want him to ruin a new liver with this bad nutritional advice!
I've got an appointment in March and don't need it as badly. I'll call on Monday and ask if I can be bumped for him.
Thank you SO much!
@@robertcywes2966 good man and another really noice person is newworldstock - see peoples there is good in the world
I had a Zoom appointment with Dr. Cywes' dietician, Sheryl Fox. She was very helpful. I got the appointment with her within a week of calling for an appointment.
@drsethsr thx for your help! I need the doc's advice due to his knowledge of the liver!
Thank you for your insight, and compassion. I feel less alone in my struggle with compulsive eating when I hear you speak with such wisdom. ❤
Made me tear up. Extremely accurate.
The only doctor I have ever heard be so dam accurate on anorexia.
Bless your heart.
I struggled with Anorexia all my life.
Thank you. Your affirmation means a lot to me. Be bold!
I flip between Anorexia and Bulimia ❤
I suspect that overcoming anorexia might well be a lifelong process. Best wishes on your journey…! 😘
I feel for you so much. I struggled with bulimia for 10 years (from aged 24 to 34) and amazingly didn’t die! 20 more years after that struggling to eat, developing IBS. Once I found UA-cam I learned how to eat meat, eggs snd fat. Getting the right food snd eliminating the wrong food) is the first step to healing your pain. I wish you all the best.
Empower and embolden yourself
Hats off for your analysis.
As a forensic psychiatric nurse I have never understood the treatment ( control, force feeding, medicine for whatever pain of discomfort) in " modern psychiatry".
Thank the Lord I don't work in heathcare anymore
Thank goodness you once DID work in healthcare. 😘 🙏 ❤
Dr. Cywes I applaud your sincerness, I am not an anorexic. However I do understand your urgency to get this message out.
To Whoever is watching/reading this , This is the Truth. Believe Dr. Cywes
Thank you, Dr Cywes. This moved me very deeply. I was anorexic/boulimic for 26yrs. I recognize every detail of your talk. You are descibing my life exactly. I too found relief in a ketogenic diet. My gut problems and depression were gone after 3 weeks on the diet. After 7 yrs of keto I'm healthy, loving food and loving life again. For me it's keto forever. Thanks for sharing all your insights. ❤
Just had lunch with a dear friend, cardiac patient- advised to avoid red meat and eat veg and fruit…so sad and frustrating he can’t hear, it is like he cannot consider eating low carb- need an adjustment in framework- a dramatic shift is needed, but he is old and already suffering. I pray he can achieve this framework change before it gets to be too late
This was the best video ever!! Thank you. It is exactly as you say an anxiety and trust issue, I know this from personal experience. For over 4 decades I avoided fat and practically lived on carbohydrates. And I was miserable, plagued with hypoglycemia and panic attacks. Only a couple of years ago I had the courage ,after watching videos about ketogenic diet ,did I slowly add fat into my diet. In the beginning my body revolted because it didn’t know how to digest fat, but in time it learned how to do it and now I have no problem eating it anymore. It was the scariest thing I ever did, to trust in the process of this new way of eating. To my surprise I did not gain any weight and felt so much better. My panic attacks and hypoglycemia practically disappeared. I wished there were more Doctors as insightful as you.
So glad you found the truest road to healing like I did. I’m a carnivore now and actually enjoy eating fat! I wish I knew this stuff years ago. I wish you well x
Glad you got the jist of the discussion!
Thank you Dr. Cywes for all your wisdom. I have followed the Keto life style for 7 years. I feel great great at 70 years of age. My doctor gives me a hard time about my cholesterol of course, but I keep chugging on
Only see ur Dr if absolutely necessary. They are no longer capable of preventive health.
Brilliant and compassionate in equal measure...simply wonderful
@19:03 "If you don't build trust. If you don't have that connection. Then their perception will fight your perspective of what the truth is ....... we have to unmask their anxiety, be aware of that anxiety because it is fragile and a fragile wild animal will run away" Wow. Bang on. That is a quotable quote that I will commit to memory.
Thanks
Powerful. I’ve experienced this with my daughter. I think that avocadoes ( among other things and processes) played a big part in saving her
We planted an avo tree a decade ago. It's reward to us is plentiful fruit
Avocados were the first fats I allowed myself to eat😊
Building trust is the most difficult part. My mother-in-law has some of the health issues you mentioned. My wife and I feed her five day's a week. She begins to improve. The worst thing that stalls her from moving forward is when she visits her doctor. Thank you for all you do. .
I've had anorexia with some binge eating behaviours for so long I'm maybe in the perfect point to hear this. I need to eat more fat, I need to switch my mindset from salads being the safe food when it's not doing me any good. Sometimes we just need someone to say it, eating the salads doesn't even make sense fitness-wise and I've never been able to be actually fit with my disorder, always "skinny fat" because of the insulin
He missed the whole point of cardio rehab. For me, it was primarily exercises that promoted the importance of exercise and moving your body. At the conclusion of my program I did a stress test supervised by a cardiologist…… his exact statement after the test was over “ you’re in great shape for a 45 year old woman” …. That’s great doc because I’m 60 years old! ❤❤. Also, an echocardiogram that showed my heart was in perfect condition! PS I’d love to try KETONE IQ, but it soooooo expensive 😢
Several years ago our primary care physician wanted to put my husband on Prilosec for his bad acid reflux . He looked @ her & asked , " Have you read the bad side effects of Prilosec ? " She replied , " Yes , but the good effects out way the bad . " To that he replied , " I'll pass & take my chances ! "
Your husband sounds like my kind of man I say the same thing😊
Yes those things will mess up your digestive system, do not lower stomach acid. Changing diet and ACV over about a month will get you probably 75 - 80% better.
Very passionate, Dr!!! I hope you find a way to help these people!
We all have to spread the word as we learn the truths and have our own positive changes overcoming the wrong beliefs we have been taught about fat, meat and salt.
This video really hit home with me! You amaze me Doctor and I really really trust you ❤ I am looking forward to my appointment with you and your team in May ❣️
Sorry it's so far away
He’s awesome.
I just had a brain and heart mri (for headaches determined to be teeth grinding.)
Each perfect results with perfect extensive blood work. No inflammation.
I'm low carb and zero sugar since 2018.
CAC= zero, carotid arteries all clear. I'm 63, zero meds, and enjoyed a fatty brisket meal tonight with a cabbage salad 🤸♀️
Love the comment about mold. I live in the wet tropics. Everything is moldy here
Dr. Cywes, I stumbled upon a video you did correcting the interpretation of the Randall Cycle. Excellent.
Episode 350 came up in my feed tonight. I was blown away by these deep insights into how to help or minister to someone who is struggling with anorexia. As a life and health coach, this is invaluable information. Thank you so much for caring enough about those who struggle with this disorder and for sharing how to minister to their hearts and ease their fears and anxiety around getting or being fat. That lie has to be dislodged from their minds--piece by piece perhaps, in LOVE. Eating animal fat is a powerful healer...especially for the brain. Thank you for the fantastic and compassionate explanation so we can be equipped to help should we encounter someone in this situation.
You described my wife perfectly. She has been suffering for years with all of the symptoms you listed. She did change her diet, as you described. However, it did not help. Then she learned about SUGAR ALCOHOL and the many hidden forms of it in natural food and, of all things - toothpaste. After cutting out all sources of sugar alcohols, she is now starting to get better. Is sugar alcohol such a great deceiver? Sorbitol, Mannitol, and Erythritol affect her the worst. Getting these sugars out of her diet is the hardest thing to do.
Wow - so just removing those resolved her symptoms? Did they affect her even in small amounts like toothpaste? We could be affected by things we don't even know about so easily i.e. toothpaste. I see sorbitol in a lot of them, never would have looked before. Even so called 'natural' ones, or flouride free, which many people try to avoid now only to get other ingredients just as bad or worse!
Sensodyne toothpaste has sorbitol as the second nonactive ingredient. That was enough to give her problems, even when she was eating carnivore for 30 days. All of the bloating and nausea stopped within 2 days after cutting out all sugar alcohols, including apples, peaches, and bananas, and switching to a different toothpaste. I wonder if Dr. Cywes is aware of the effects of sugar alcohol masking as other illnesses and being a hidden cause of eating disorders. @@scoobydadog246
Total carb elimination. Never just net carbs
@@robertcywes2966 do you mean that toothpaste is a carb? When my wife switched toothpaste, all of her symptoms disappeared and she gained 3 pounds in one week after losing 25 pound of 3 month of constant diarrhea. It seems that sorbitol mimics a bunch of other illnesses. Dr thought she has an eating disorders. Stopped the sorbitol and she has been recovering properly. She was 100% carnivore for 30 days and her symptoms did not get better.
@@churchsoundandacoustics1616 Yes, sugar alcohols are a carbohydrate attached to an alcohol , obviously. The issue for most is not that they are carbs, (b/c we don't metabolize them like glucose) but they seem to be very irritating or disruptive to the GI tracts in many people, and another hypothesis is that they mess with the microbiome. I don't know, but it seems that for many people, just a small amount of some of these things can do a lot of damage, and your story is a perfect example. Kind of scary too, b/c imagine how many people could be suffering and never think about something like toothpaste! So, thanks for sharing!
Information you put out there is worthless weight, and Gold you are truly sent from heaven
Pretty sure you mean it's "worth its weight in gold."
I have been doing a 48 hour fast starting on Sunday evening for the last month. This is my 4th week. I am fasting now. My wife and I both are doing this now and we will continue to do this for as long as we can. So far there has been no negative side affects from doing this. I also do intermediate fasting and am on a very low carb diet. I am Type 2, 65 years old.
So thankful for all your videos
Great informative video Dr. Rob. Thank You!
Amazing. Thank you, God is using you!!!!
A colleague's spouse, a fit and muscular guy in his mid-50s, had a heart attack after losing his mother somewhat tragically and dealing with the stress of moving her belongings, selling her home and dealing with the estate. Had a stent placed, and cardiologist insisted he take a powerful statin. One problem with that: His lipid numbers were already low. Yet they insisted they had to be lowered further. Experienced terrible pain and other side effects and decided on his own to stop taking it. Felt better almost immediately. The healthiest thing we can do is tell them where they can shove their Rx while walking out the door for good.
Dr. Cywes, I am an internal medicine physician with so many patients that need weight loss solutions and the health care system is failing them. What you are saying makes so much sense and I believe the low fat/no fat movement is the reason we are in the place that we are in the US with Obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Most of my patients also have very low incomes and cannot afford services that are not covered by insurance. How can I get them connected with the counseling support and dietary instructions that they need to overcome these huge obstacles to achieving lasting metabolic health? I’m not versed enough to help them all on my own.
Everything you said here resonates so deeply with me. You nailed it doc!
Truth!!! Best Doc ever ... programs need to change.
I love listening to you
You are gonna help so many people.
Excellent video!
I hope it helps people.
Lovely perspectives. Your videos make me understand my health from a lot better perspective than decades of visiting and associating with doctors has done. Thank you!
Common sense is such a needed approach. Thank you Dr. C❤.
❤ I heard this and needed it!
Wow!! You completely nailed it on the head with what’s behind a person with an ED!! So glad I found your channel! God bless you.❤😊❤
You are Impressive ! Thanks for what you do.
Great educational video❤
I don't hear the term hypochondriac used very often these days. Maybe its out of fashion or has been deamed inappropriate. Seeing first hand people with profound eating disorders and the resulting disintegration of lives, I think is one of the most frustrating syndromes to understand. Your compasion, insight and understanding is most commendable. Thank you!
Google ORTHOREXIA NERVOSA. Very common in our community
Absolutely fantastic, highly knowledgeable and informative, I understand much more now, specially the eating fat part ,thankyou ,
Thank you...this is an amazing video. I am in tears as I was deliberately torturing myself. It was the only thing I could control in my life and the world and yes I have severe depression and anxiety from a young age.
I was bulimic for over 10 yrs, during my late teens and 20s. I knew I was destroying my body by what I was doing. It got to a point I would stand on the scales after a mouthful of water and try to throw that up. I would eat boxes of laxatives until they were useless, so I started to drink Epsom salts of it didn't work straight away I would try to throw that up also...one day I was sitting down and suddenly vomiting up blood. I destroyed my teeth, my gut etc. I have been suffering ever since. Recently stumbling across carnivore diet I am seeing results and the chronic GI issues are slowly getting better...
Best of luck to you!
Thanks! I liked, commented, subscribed and shared! ❤
A heartfelt thank you for your life changing information, insight, I appreciate every reminder that I AM an addict and there is a remedy! 🎶💖💪
Excellent and insightful summary of the psychology of an eating disorder, and their best way to recover physically. I am a psychotherapist for 30 years and I fully agree with you on all points!
Great and precise explanation 😊.
Thank you 🙏
Just found you !
New subscriber here .
Love yr accent .
Greetings from Europe
Yes, without trust...nothing works. Great talk, btw.
Tx
You are describing me to a “t”. I’ve never heard of anything so profound: it’s an anxiety issue. I always thought “control”! Is there hope for me??? I’m 59 years old and have been struggling with a food addiction/anorexia/alcoholism/sugar since I was a tiny child.
You are very compelling with your delivery of information.
As a side bar, you remind me of Robert Barone❤😊
I don't have an eating disorder, but Id love more information on a Keto diet. You probably have a video so I'll search your content. I'll pass this along if ever I hear of someone that needs to hear this. My doctor said I am prediabetic so my diet is definitely changing.
Excellent presentation
I was in hospital for 10 days and on my chart it said that I was to be given a diabetic diet. I was consistently fed terrible carbs and even though I was eating very little, my blood sugar was through the roof every day until I left! The nurses admitted that "for some reason" the hospital didn't seem to understand what a diabetic should or should not eat. Shocking.
I’m not anorexic, and I listened to it all the way through. Great advice !
Overly excited by a new realization, again.
Thanks and hello, from Angola Indiana ❤😊🙏
🇦🇴
WOW!! Afraid to eat because they feel awful. 😵💫
Fasting is a healthy part of our low carb world. No Rxs for me, I have a happy gut and A1C of 5.2. 💪🙏
Yes Dir, You are soo right in all this, and I admire You for taking so fire t in all this, kee on the good woork.
You are the shiz! Nice work!!
God Bless you
Eye opening!
This is your best video ever ❤
Thank you for all the info. Could you please explain energy homeostasis, how to achieve and manage it.
brilliant
Wish I could afford to come to you greetings from NC u sir was born to teach
Dankie Dr vir hierdie podcast. Ek was met so 'n vrou getroud, sy het laxatives gebruik en ek jet haar geglo daardie dae.
Jy het al die acronyms gebruik en ek het alles gesien.
Baie goeie podcast.
Ai. Ons wens sulke mems wel, maar baie moeilik vir die wat hulle lief het. So dankbaar vir my eie vrou. Mooi bly
Dr Rob, Thankyou, Thankyou, Thankyou, for this video! My daughter(now 39yrs old) suffered with anorexia in her early 20s. She, as you say, is still very thin but healthy. Although I have always tried to get her to eat fat & she does eat some. But to hear you say it’s an anxiety issue, was so affirming for me! One issue she has & has had at different times, is a persistent itchy rash on her wrist. She had tried all sorts of meds, creams, potions etc….all to no avail. Any suggestions? She is on an anti-depressant & has been for some time. I’d really appreciate any ideas as this rash(even though it seems a small issue) causes a lot of angst!
Is it possible that the rash is a result of oxalate dumping…? 🤔
Go Blue doc, hope you enjoyed the national championship as much as I did!!
I was there 27 yrs ago and plan to be there in 2051😅
❤ a doctor that cares about patients you should be teaching in the major medical schools of America most of them almost all of them are devoid of these skills and all they want to do is do their job anyway they can and go home and hope that nobody sues them this has changed over many years I have gone to doctors… My doctors of all been in recent years holding onto the door knob as they're talking to you about your health 15 minutes is a long time with the doctor
Powerful
Oh my, fingernails swelling up? Never heard that one before!
Sarcasm
The best to change your gut mictobiome is to change your diet. The bad bacteria eill die when you quit feeding them, and the good bacteria eill thrive if they are getting the right food.
Doc, this is fantastic. I've got to make myself a transcript of this. to read and keep and study. If you'd like I could work on better transcripts of your videos. I do transcript for the ones i have to have. I've got a small present for you - should I send it to Jacksonville or Jupiter? You might put it in your book collection.
I just today attended training around working as a psych with EDs. It’s was all about getting them to eat six times a day to overcome starvation.
My husband is a diabetic and he mostly cuts carbs but refuses high fat. He also thinks he needs veggies. He will occasionally binge on pizza or a box of donuts. He refuses to talk about it. He doesn’t care that I lost all this weight and reversed so much.
We normally learn by example, perhaps he will.
His choice. We all choose our pathologies
Finding a doctor that listens is impossible.
I have been bulimic since 16years old; I’m now 57. In my 30’s, I did 4 yrs of counseling where I was told it was a self-control issue, it was a portion issue, etc. The amt of shame and guilt in purging is hard to put into words. Ppl who love me responded with, “that’s disgusting” so it’s a silent addiction that isolated me even further. I haven’t purged in yrs but EVERY time I overeat my brain goes to the possibility of a “solution” to make me feel better and then mentally way worse. I started eating lower carb abt a year ago with much trial and error and every time I fell off, I was more acutely aware of how bad I felt and that my normal was pretty bad. One day it struck like lightning; I wasn’t having any thoughts or purging- NONE! The more satiety and less inflamed I felt, the less I thought about every meal, calorie or lb. It freed my brain. In 40+ years, I’ve NEVER been able to break free from the emotional coaster until this happened naturally. I can feel in my brain and every cell a release of the shame and pain but I’m also incensed with rage looking back on how I was blamed for being weak and treated so poorly.
Great show!! Thank you.
I wish "anorexia" or "eating disorder" was in the title so it could help more people!!
I like how you take psychology into account. It's like cleaning out a wound to the deepest level so it can heal.
I’ve been through cardiac rehab twice. This second time I did not listen to any nutrition teaching. I plan on never having another heart attack thanks to ketovore.
Interesting you’re doing a 48h fast once a week. I started this protocol after watching Matthew Phillips’ talk on Cancer and how we are really designed to be in Ketosis most of the time, not fed just on Glucose. Works well for me. Like you, I start fasting after supper on Sunday evening and restart 48h later, Tuesday supper-time. Keeps the family happy as they only see I miss one meal in the evening.
To ‘see’ what’s going on I’ve recently bought a Keto-Mojo meter which can tell me my Glucose, Ketone levels and then my GKI index. It was 2 after just 24h of fasting previously 👍🏻
Dawn effect this morning (Mon) quite noticeable. 2 readings last night glucose levels were dropping slowly, back up slightly this morning to 5.1 mmol/l. Will be interesting to monitor morning and evening to see how the levels are after 48h.
Might be illuminating to measure these levels over a longer fast too. Matthew Phillips does recommend 5 day fasts from time to time, to completely rest the mitochondria.
I love this video I've been watching a lot of your videos lately and I live in Vero Beach Florida without going into all of my details I started the carnivore diet and quickly changed over to your low-carb alternative I have lost 31 pounds while studying both but it is working for me as a diabetic type two my insulin had to drop from 93 units a day to 35 and in the last week my blood sugars average have gone down to 123 with that 35 long acting units every night no insulin during the day… My question is this I don't know what my ketones are but I understand my insulin that I take is probably eating the ketones is this true? I would also like to talk with you someday!
Don't worry about measuring ketones. U will know. We're in Jupiter
You just described a close friend of mine in perfect detail. I am not sure I would have thought of her as an anorexic but the emotional state fits her perfectly. Even gaining trust is not necessarily going to be effective. She trusts me completely. In her case she has a fear of being alone and when her relationships go bad she continues to be in them and even helps them even though it is causing her harm (not physical). She will justify the relationship’s value to avoid being alone. She then starts having more and more physical issues, not just gut but bone and teeth breakage as well. She has had lots of four letter words tagged on to her and her medical background clouds her vision…she knows best. The only thing that really gave her improvement was therapy to deal with her issues. I think my best work around would be to encourage her to get back into therapy and set the example myself on the effectiveness of a carnivore diet or keto by continuing to lose weight, myself. She knows both my husband an I went carnivore a couple months ago and we regularly share our health improvements. Great talk!
I think some people with exting disorders have partiality gotten them from poor diet. One compounds the other. You can't heal without the fat/meat.
I agree
So you think EDS and Lyme are not real??!! I had Lyme twice and it’s a spirochete infection that drills through tendons!! Being hyper mobile / EDS is horrible and debilitating that yes, it can be helped but it’s horribly real. It’s Unbelievable that you have said this!!
I have EDS too, autoimmune Dysautonomia and multiple serious autoimmune disorders, Mastocytosis. I get what you are saying but he was saying the patient with an eating disorder comes in and they have all these diagnosises but they themselves don't even know what they are. I've met people like this, they have EDS but zero hypermobility or dislocations, skin involvement or even vascular - none of the symptoms of any version of EDS just gut pain when they eat. So they don't eat.
I don't think he meant EDS or Lyme isn't real, he meant a lot of natural drs assign this to everything when the real problem is body dysmorphia.
Hope you are doing well, EDS is a beast. I had to stop a lot of Keto foods because they were too high histamine, I do a low carb low histamine diet now and feel much better. Keto isn't a cure for everything, that's for sure.
All these disease do exist! But are catch phrases in the anorexia world. If you test positive its true, but these folks use the acronyms without a proven diagnosis and refuse to get tested
Exactly. Well said
I like Dr. Cywes but have to disagree on this one. I’ve had Lyme twice. Seen the bulls eye and bite. I had been on carnivore/ketovore for years. I was VERY sick, and a year and a half later am still sick. I also have mold in my home. This stuff is real.
Trust relationship is most important to achieve anything in life. It lines attitude, knowledge and skills up to a competence necessary fod good outcome.
Agreed
Spot on about the anxiety issue with these unrealistic disease definitions. German New Medicine makes much better sense of it.
That is indeed a tough subject. My experience with anorexic pts is not particularly successful and very time consuming.
At this point, I don't think I have a lack of traffic, I have already increased my fat intake but I believe that my GI issues stem from anxiety and fear of my emotions..
It's fascinating how changing the perspective changes everything, I went down the rabbit hole of functional medicine and believed I need some special breed of expensive probiotics to heal my gut and very expensive powders and potions.
I appreciate your videos. I have lived in a house with mold for many years. It does make people very sick. I have massive digestive issues. Etc. Have you seen Dr. Peter Osborne‘s video on UA-cam about mold? He and his family lived in a moldy house, and his wife was very sick and he became very sick and the rest of his family. Once they left the home had treated and treated themselves. They got their lives back. Dr. how can you explain this? Thank you.
Dr Cywes,
I'm from Malaysia and bumped into your channel recently... have got hooked ever since.
This is a great video.
I love eating ALOE VERA and NATTO for its nutritional benefits. However, does the polysaccharides (in the gel) and and the overall HIGH CARB content in both of these foods.......
KICK YOU OUT OF KETOSIS?
No. I'm giving a talk in Kuala Lumpur next month
Great video doctor I've been trying to find somebody help me with my constipation blood pressure and anxiety my cardiologists wants me to take cholesterol medicine and I had a feeling that it was not good for me I had a heart attack over 8 years ago and still trying to find out what's going on because I've been taking all sorts of blood pressure medications.
I was one of those who traded anorexia for carb addiction. It led to a lifetime of illness and morbid obesity until I went low carb.
A focus on weight in childhood, too often from the person's own parents (!!) either directly or snidely commenting on weight, then leaning into a low fat, lean diet - basically an horrific adherence to the SAD and gov't guidelines - puts them squarely into a space where the only option they can consider is to not eat at all. Ancel Keys etc. have a shitton to answer for... when I look into the fridges at friends and see low fat dairy everything, upf etc. it does my head in - as an adult, make your decisions, but feeding your children on a high carb, low fat diet is positively criminal.
I have profusely apologised to my adult children for insisting they eat low fat and lots of fruit and veges when they were growing up. I knew no different then. Things dawned on me one day when my daughter exclaimed “how come you are the sickest person I know, yet you eat the healthiest diet?” I had no answer at the time, but it made me wake up and I began my journey to the carnivore way of eating.
Agreed @carbaddictionmom
Fat fixes so much!!! Fat makes me feel fabulous!
