You are among my heroes! I have reclaimed my life , no insulin , no Mounjaro , stable A1c at 5.3 for a year now . I have lost to 62lbs, stay active and excercise at gym a few times a week . daily walks ,,, living my best life !!!! thank you thank you thank you
And I love how he is so low key and supportive. I find it very restful to listen to Dr. Westman. I tend to be high strung and anxious if life is more stressful than normal. Listening to Dr. Westman calms me down and regain my equilibrium.
I’m so happy I made an appointment to see you! With so much misinformation, it is gratifying to have a knowledgeable and compassionate doctor who can guide my health. The results are stunning even after a few months. I’m excited to continue the journey with trusted oversight from a qualified clinician. I cannot thank you enough.
I concluded I wouldn't get another mammogram back in 2009, for the same 2 reasons: the problem of false positives and the slight exposure to radiation. And now that I'm carnivore I feel a bit impervious to cancers.
There is a physician who has a UA-cam video where he discusses the decrease in deaths due to breast cancer and he said that numerous studies have found that mammograms have nothing to do with the decrease in breast cancer deaths. Improvements in surgical techniques and treatments are responsible for saving women and men who were diagnosed with breast cancer. I was not surprised as I have a friend who read mammograms for a living for two years. Given what she said about how little time the other radiologists spent on each person's mammogram because that would reduce how much money they would make that month.
We are cattle farmers in Alabama- my father got Alpha-Gal last summer while putting up new fence for the cows - he was bitten by the Lone-Star tick. It’s been a horrific experience for him at age 82. Everything in life has changed for him. I hope to interview him for my own channel to bring awareness because I have seen so many social media influencers say people cannot be allergic to meat. This is untrue. It is a life threatening illness.
Ticks are a huge menace today and most people are oblivious to how dangerous they are if they carry diseases. I know two people whose health have been destroyed by the diseases contracted from tick bites. Some of the diseases are: Anaplasmosis, Babesiosis, Ehrlichiosis, Lyme Disease, Powassan Virus Disease., Borrelia miyamotoi Disease, Borrelia mayonii Disease, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever (RMSF). There are other diseases tick-born diseases too that can seriously damage human health.
Regarding cancer treatment, it has been shown, I believe that a total reduction of sugar in the diet will slow down tumor growth, which will slow or even stop Cancer tumors.
Dr. Westman, thanks for another awesome video. I have been a registered nurse working in intensive care for the past several years but just got accepted into nurse practitioner school. I have been studying nutrition and also read your books and have been following your podcasts and videos for some time now. Do you ever allow for nurse practitioner students to precept with you for clinical’s?
Speaking of training- I took an A&P class for science credit and had the most difficult time with he nutrition chapter because it contains contradictory 😤and wrong 😡info that I’ve learned from you and many other Keto/Carnivore doctors, scientists, professors, and enthusiasts.

*I had very high blood sugar I only managed to improve my health when I found a WONDERFUL treatment, if you want to know about it, I left the video in the comment reply*
The massive biological contamination of micro plastics in the body disrupting endocrines that could help in staving off the sugar, hybridized refined enriched bleached grain products ect play a crucial role as to how fast metabolic disease occurs since the levels of contamination are so severe now. I first came about the report and discussion of micro plastics back in late 2008 so it's Intel that's been awhile.
Having a mammogram saved my life. Caught my cancer very early. Triple negative breast cancer. I also believe sugar feeds cancer. Eat a low carb diet. I fell off the low carb wagon. Trying my hardest to stay on to keep cancer away. I'm not diebetic. Was borderline at one point in my life. A1C 5.5. Cholesterol high. Trying to decide for myself if I'll take statins for it because do have some plaque. Always something!
Get a baseline and yearly EBT scan. Fish oil and or the use of niacin can stabilize plaque. Please do deep dive No to statins. They interfere with many pathways and functions of the liver. If you decide yes. At least you make a wholistic informed decision ❤️🙏🌹
I was pre-diabetic according to my A1C (5.8) last year. I have cut back on carbs. My A1C went down to 5.4. I want to try keto for the heart and diabetes benefits. How do I try this diet plan without losing any weight? I am underweight and can not afford to lose one ounce.
@@AndiS-dz4pq I'm definitely underweight my BMI is 17.5. I just got my bloodwork back after increasing fats and low carb my LDL went from 100 to 145 in less than a year ugh
@@AndiS-dz4pq No, and my BMI is 16.4! She said that I should not get back to her with my low weight until my weight drops down to under 117 pounds. I am six feet two inches tall and 123 pounds fully dressed with shoes on. The fact that I am physically very active presumably convinces her that I will not die of starvation any time soon.
Knowing the tests necessary isn't the problem. I can't get my Endocrinologist or my PCP to order them. They told me to stop watchin UA-cam. I requested a Hemoglobin A1C test. Neither of them had ordered it. I've been on Keto since 2020. And it came back 5.8! I was shoched and disappointed. Asked for fasting insulin, but they said "No, your health insurance company would think I was crazy if I ordered that!" I see Endocrinologist for hypothyroid. I am wondering if that is all for naught. I lost 30 lbs on Keto. Wondering if my weight stall was Insulin Resistance all along and never really Hypothyroid. My thyroid numbers are not all that bad.

Love your content Dr. Eric. Very undogmatic and open. Id love to see you react / share your wisdom and knowledge regarding NutritionMadeSimple's content here on YT. Its a mainly vegetarian first diet, but he's also quite open minded and doesnt care what people eat. He's a researcher, helped cure his moms IBS and seems to have a good understanding of the body.
Doc can you still lose a great amount of weight and feel better with walking as you described with your patient, and have high LDL and still be at high risk for heart disease further down the road?
Probably not ,as most heart disease is thought by many physicians to be the result of eating a high-carbohydrate diet. The model has changed as more evidence suggests that carbs are the killers, not fatty meat or animal products as long as they are not artificially processed.
@@alexr6114 "probably" is not reassuring.. sigh plus, I eat dirty keto to add some carbs for weight gain so I don't think I'm in a state of ketosis.. doesn't this put me at higher risk? My LDL went from 106 to 145 in less than 6 mos (my HDL and Trigs are good) eating low-carb and high-fats

Yes, I have a friend who desperately wants to lose weight but who refused to do anything to lose weight. Magical thinking is her way of thinking herself thin without changing a thing in her diet or way of life.
Confirmational bias. They're locked into their way of thinking. You really can't push without alienating. So try and stay pleasant and look for opportunities to insert the message.
I think I’m doing a ketovore diet after pre diabetes and ckd 3a diagnosis. Eating beef, chicken, eggs, cod, salmon, sardines, red pepper, cabbage, cauliflower, mushrooms, red onion, garlic, Granny Smith apples, berries, cuke, celery. Bad thing is Dave’s low sodium thin sliced seeded bread only because I’m starving. Was not overweight 77 yr old female. Having a hard time gaining weight that I think I might have cancer or something. Gfr 60
Ketovore means that a person consumes less than 10 grams of carbohydrate per day. There is no way you can eat an entire slice of bread on the ketovore diet. One of those slices of bread has 18 grams of carbohydrate! It is very likely that you are not even on a low carb diet (20 grams of total carbohydrate). Get rid of the vegetables except for red pepper, cabbage, and cauliflower and eat a total of less than one-half to one cup total vegetables per day and increase your meat, seafood, and egg consumption unless you exercise vigorously. You are not eating enough meat or seafood per day. That is why you are hungry.
Hi, ketovore or keto are a no sugar or starch diet. You listed some starches and sugar in your food list. Ketovore is mostly meat/fish/poultry, and practically no vegetables.
There have not been proven to be any essential carbohydrates the body needs. Keto is not ideal for many. Intermittent fasting is most ideal for healing. Thank you❤
It shouldn't have a label "ketogenic" or "ketosis". No disrespect doctor but if you haven't come to the conclusion that it's actually the natural metabolism since birth then..... Sure there's natural glycogen and glycogenesis but most people cannot use more than what the body produces for certain critical functions (debatable) as a main fuel source long term and not expect negative metabolic compromise.

That statin decider is fantastic! As far as I can tell doctors are not using it, but rather a simple LDL threshold. Madness!!
