How do know what’s real and not in the health and fitness space. I like DrMikes content, I like Rogan and a lot of people he has on.. so the immediate argument of sugar being bad or not, or really any topic, there’s so much back n forth, every expert has an opposing expert, and then it boils to “what’s best for you” but I want to know really, REALLY, what the right answers are
Dr.Mike I wanted to ask you about side effect of TRT and exogenous testosterone that everyone keep out of the sight of average Joe's that want to jump on it. And that side effect is infertility or inability to conceive a son. If you look up - almost every bodybuilder have only daughters, actors who jacked on gear is also mostly have only daughters. Do you have scientific explanation of mechanism behind that?
The FDA is a revolving door that is mostly from large food corporations which makes laws in favor of where they came from. Go to the root of the issue instead of "most research/scientist agree" and everyone else is crazy. I remember a time when ALL scientist agree and things were "safe and effective" because everyone else was silence and even the inverter of the thing they were fighting lol. Follow the money that the research is finding and you'll find the truth. People lie but money talks.

Take it from a rock climber if you want to increase your grip strength. Dead hangs. 10 second hangs. Two minutes rest. 10 sets. 3 times a week. Use a pulley system To take off if it’s too hard or weight belt to add weight if it’s too easy. It builds insane forearm arm, strength and grip.
10 second dead hang then 2 minutes rest? isnt that too easy? sorry im just confused. i could deadhang for 2 minutes, and do it like 3 times a day. i didnt even have strong grip, just quite normal
@@januar2741 I might be wrong but it doesn't seem like hanging for 2 minutes straight out the gate is super normal. It's something a ton of people have to work towards.
@@ozwaltreacts4709 I'm not a rock climber, and I weight 210lb, but I can dead hang for at least several minutes given the right bar. The owners of those carnaval dead hang challenges hate me, must be my big ass hands or something
KEFIR. 2-3 hours before bed and you sleep like a baby, you don't wake up several times a night and you wake up refreshed. But since you Americans don't know what kefir is (well, maybe 0.000001% do), that's why it's still legal. Americans can destroy everything that is good and that is why you are the most obese nation on earth. You're welcome.
it's melatonin. it controls the mtDNA which controls apoptosis and autophagy that make us recover day to day. Unfortunately most people mess their sleep up with fake lights a t night, technology and wifi.
Maybe not the best for muscle growth but with proper form, it is an excellent exercise for core stability through a wide range of different body positions. Personally, I have found it really helpful to help prevent back injury as I lift heavier & climb harder routes.
@@AyoLeger It's completely established to be a lesser movement to things like cleans, deadlifts or barbell shoulder presses if you want upward pushing strenght. In theory is should work, but the problem lies in (what Mike explained) the fact that your shoulder gives out before your core or whatever else you wanted to strenghten. So you are effectively limiting your gains because the core doesn't get worked enough.
Do it with a barbell then it's called a gardener lift. It's a great display of strength because 1st you have to master the one arm clean and jerk . Even just 50k is quite challenging. It's nor for body building its an exhibition lift . I.a.w.a sometimes throw it into competitions .
The term "thumbnail" is really fitting in this case, because it looks like a before and after image of what happens to your thumb if you hit it with a hammer.
I was diagnosed with hypogonadism at 30 years old (my level was 165 ng/dl). Going on TRT was life changing. I can't even begin to explain how beneficial it has been.
You hae a pre-existing medical condition that was alleviated by going on TRT. At least I hope it was on doctor's orders. in any case, that's a world of difference to the meatheads who use it to get swole...
I think this is the most simultaneously intense & calm person I've seen. Guy looks like he's about to explode at any moment or chill out with some tea at the same time.
Dude, same. I was a loader at FedEx for like 6 weeks before I decided I didn't like being crushed to death, and my boss decided he liked it better when the trucks actually got out on time. But in that 6 weeks, I lost like 30 lbs and got way stronger. My job after that was making pizza at Domino's for 2 years, and that had the opposite effect.
Anyone who has never done this job, doesn't understand how physically taxing it is. I went into that job at 18 years old with a six pack standing at 6'3" and weighing about 220. I played football, basketball, and ran track my whole life year round. I thought I was "the man" and was in really good shape as I was serious about weight training, diet, and running at the time. That job kicked my ass every single day. Humbled me for sure. I never fully adapted in the year and a half I did it. It was seriously a challenge.
Never did roids in my life been lifting since was 14. Wound up with ball cancer and lost my ball at 43 years old. Test levels went down under 100. I get 1 CC a week and now back to a normal / nice 800-850 after a year and feel like a new man. Wasn’t a bad trade off 😂
I have one testicle. It was removed when I was 3. I wonder if it has affected my testosterone levels. I don't feel like they are low, but who knows. I was always under the impression that having a ball missing didn't affect it. 🤷♂️
Joe takes Ayahuasca as pre workout. Multiversal entities train him in the gym. They promised him that he will be able to defeat a bear once his training is complete.
Wow. That is soooo true. Lol. He started blabbing about old Hebrew text and and the masonic religion. And after growing up in middle east going to school learning just Hebrew and religion then going to university to do studies I realized he talks like he knows but completely confused. But so right. Good spot
joe rogan is an excellent entry point for the online nazi pipeline, He has just enough deniability on platforming nazis under the umbrella of being open minded. jordan peterson and ben shapiro has far less.
Dr. Mike, I have one criticism and that is the Turkish get up is effective for training standing up while holding a squirming toddler. That's all. Continue, good sir.
But please not when he is on his extreme high test lvl for competition, he is a little less chill and a littel less fun. The Doctor Mike podcast was a great example I think he just talked and talked and I think he should have taken it slower.
I went on TRT on 39, had testicular cancer when I 25 so got one ball and actually needed it, it was a pretty noticable change but a way more noticable change was quitting alcohol, sleeping betterer, eating well and starting to train 4 months prior to going on it. Alcohol is fucking terrible for your mind, body and soul, quitting drinking should be tried before TRT
Im not gonna say alcohol is healthy, but just my personal experience, i was drinking a lot of alcohol in 18-23 yo, and my test was in the roof. But i was eating healthy and working out hard from 14 yo too, so yes i dont think that alcohol so much supresses your test, i mean yes it causes hormonal inbalanace for like 2 days after drinking (libido up, propably estrogen peak) but then it comes back to normal.
It’s eerie that I clicked on this video when I did. I was just thinking how I wanted to get my test levels checked because I had gained 30 pounds in the past year, eating like shit, drinking too much, and was getting uncontrollable panic attacks. Go in to the doctor’s with my BP at 167/112. He puts me on BP meds that make me feel like shit. I stopped taking them after a week, built my diet/ exercise program and kept it on point. 3 weeks later at my follow up, I’m down 17 pounds, BP is at 132/89, panic attacks are gone, and I am certain that I don’t need TRT.
Good job man. Similar story for me. I tried therapy and antidepressants for my anxiety/panic attacks. Nothing helped. I fixed my diet, stopped drinking on weekdays, prioritized getting quality sleep, and hit the gym 5x a week. Fixed everything.
Yeah, BP goes up and down and doesn't mean you're any better at all just because it looked better at the doctor. I've had mine look good too and the next visit back up to the same higher BP.
Lady here! I agree with you totally about the kettle bell thing! Honestly, I started to add subtle weight lifting when I was in my early 20's. I tried kettle bells first for weight lifting because I heard about them on a Joe Rogan podcast, not only was I really winded from the motion and more concerned about making the motion than actually building strength, but I was noticing a lot of clicking and pain and found ranges of motion awkward, simply because I wasn't used to lifting or moving weight 15 pounds plus. So from experience, I can tell youm dumbells are wayyyy better for a beginner. You really have to think about posture, movement, you can feel where pain is, where weakness is. You build speed and confidence and reps slowly. Unlike with kettle bells, where they make your mind more focused on momentum. They are better for people who already change and want to change range of motion up. But a simple cheap dumbell from wall mart at home and a bench is literally all most woman need to get a real burn! And you can buy dumbells with exchangeable weights to save money! There are so many videos that help you with form too! Just more effective and safe!
@@Benny.13 Facts! I'm a doctor and the amount of people that show up in the emergency room with acute seed oil poisoning is alarming. I perscribe 100 ml of moose cum to reverse the damage, 50ml for oral application and 50ml for anal application.
@@navnnavn1226 I’ve learned from multiple videos by legitimate Doctors and nutritionist on the subject of seed oils for years . I don’t have FB or any social media other then YT.? Lol ,swing and miss!
Lmao at the Joey Diaz part....The funny thing is, if you know his background and hear some of his old stories, it's actually a miracle that he's still alive. He might be the king of longevity.
I'm glad Mike is addressing the "functional" strength stuff. People really like to shit on anything barebell or body building related despite those two things being really really good for size and strength.
I think most people's idea of functional strength is being able to move things from awkward angles or just different angles rather than traditional lifting with fixed exercises. So basically anything that has more of an emphasis on stabilizing muscles along with the main group being worked.
@@ThompsonBriartraditional strength training already covers this. Powerlifting, olympic lifting, strongman training will all make you stronger in those niche situations than just squatting on a bosu ball with a kettlebell in your mouth. Reason is because you can load astronomically more weight on those tiny muscles with a regular low bar backsquat than with some weird position you can't properly load to failure and use progressive overload on. The weight the more stable traditional backsquat allows you to move will simply outweight the fact that you can't quite get in that ultraspecific position with it. If anything you're better off training them separately. You train the big 4 as heavy as you can and then you can go and teach that strong muscle to neurologically learn whatever athletic movement pattern you want it to go through. Calisthenics guys do this a lot. They train with weights for raw strength and then they go and harness it on the monkeybars
@@chumbucket6184 Extremely niche training focus, but one of the contestants from Alone (solo nature survival show on History Channel) went into detail about her training that did involve lots of the funky movements and stabilizing work because moving trees and rocks across a forest requires lots of weird movements and unnecessary muscle mass is detrimental when you might go weeks without eating.
Why would anyone wanna rip on bodybuilding or bodybuilding exercises. Just because they don't have the genetics for it... bodybuilding is one of the best sports on the planet 👏 not too say functional training or anything else isn't but bodybuilding I'd the best also being one myself I am biased
Can we get a sources page at the very end of the videos? As someone who is critical of every fitness video, having a sources page would be greatly beneficial
@@paulbarclay4114 no I’m not saying that at all, seed oils and sugar are perfectly fine, I just want to see the sources because I like looking at the data for myself
What I like about turkish getups are the awkward loading angles and combinations of joint stabilizations. However, as far as carryover effect, TGUs make you better at TGUs, and thats about it. It is a fun way to test your shoulder mobility and balance, and I like to use it for conditioning drills paired with swings.
I think what JR actually means is the movements traditionally associated with kettlebells transfer better to athletic pursuits better than a bodybuilding focused routine. Explosive and leaning towards endurance due to rep count. As the man said, you can do all that with bars.
Well at least most of the exercises could be performed with bars/plates. However, the more explosive the exercise gets, the less practical it is to use traditional weights
Could you do David Goggins next? I always admire his drive and discipline (although extreme). But I always sees everything he did will do more harm than good.
@@pierrex3226 Honestly, I saw goggins as another, more disciplined version of liver king. Not the fraudulent part (I think goggins just a monster), but the questionable methods. I saw somewhere on Joe Rogan's podcast, Goggins force this one dude on a sauna for hours without any drinks, when he wanted to go out, Goggins tell him not to. And you guessed it, the guy fainted on the spot and hospitalized. To be fair though, unlike liver king, Goggins never asked people to do his "special" training regiment. He want people to step out of their comfort zone and workout.
@@Savirezzgoggins' seal career is fraudulent though... his heart condition is very questionable and suspect as well. 15 years on the seals during active conflict, 1 combat deployment, early, and never again. Heart condition... marathon runner... like, guy, pick one.
I think that kettlebells are mainly nice because the way they load weight for certain motions and exercises. Dumbbells are totally useable and great, but certain movements the kettlebells feels a little bit easier to manage and get through a proper range of motion. For example, the Turkish get up. I did some variation of this for my injured shoulder maybe it's called a windmill, I can't remember, but it was similar in concept. Stabilize shoulder. While it's a minor gripe, it was slightly better with a kettlebell vs a dumbbell on my wrist, allowed me to keep it straighter, which is a nice advantage when we're talking healing an injury, every little thing could be a game changer.
Since the weight hangs down from the bar, the bells have a lower center of gravity per pound over the dumbbell. This means less leverage, so less “balancing muscle” strength is required. Using a lighter weight with a barbell is identical. It’s like being “explosive” with a higher weight to feel stronger, rather than making slower movements with a lighter weight that actually challenged your muscles better. It’s a trick to make you feel stronger (or demonstrate strength to your friends/girl) rather than doing what actually makes you stronger. I was a certified strength training coach in the 2000s. The myths in weight lifting are there to make clients feel better. Showing them the truth is much harder if what you care about is money vs results. I quit because educating clients was almost impossible.
@@JasonJrake I totally understand what you're saying, and in my case specifically, it just felt better on my wrist. Perhaps I would have benefit from just a lighter weight as you said and going slower. What I did notice in my experience, was that I was in fact comfortably able to control more weight and get a better connection to the target muscle, just because of where the center of gravity landed and how it felt on my wrist. Perhaps you could argue I needed my wrist examined, but it wasn't chronically in pain, or anything like that
@@stevencosta7248 your reasoning makes sense. The whole “functional strength” fallacy has caused people to not understand the point of exercise. It’s to target muscle groups precisely. And anything that works for you is better than all the ideal theory in the world.
IDK man, I’m building muscle naturally at 41 and it just seems like most TRT proponents on the internet are just people who used steroids who want to make excuses for still using steroids.
Im nearly 40 and just as strong as i was in my youth. I may have lost a bit of energy and stamina but not much. I do everything he mocks; eat lower glycemic diet etc. bros on trt look impressive but cant come close to my strength level.
Total misconception from you, and it’s okay. Influencers and fitness models on “trt” are normally at Supra physiological levels.. aka beyond normal which will cause problems down the line for MOST men. Congrats on building muscle at 41, maybe look back at your blood work for test levels when you were 24-35… most likely they’ve gone down. Mid you’re not experiencing any low test symptoms then you’re alright. Trt is like Botox for men, in the way that oftentimes well to do or individuals who have the money can invest in. Trt however will boost most areas of life not just aesthetics.
You watch Dr Mike for genuinely the best fitness advice one could ask for, I watch Dr Mike for the absolute top tier smooth and seamless transitions into ads for the RP Hypertrophy App. We are not the same
When I go on strict no processed sugar diet, and get my sugar only from fruits and honey (sometimes maple syrup) I drop weight rapidly and feel way better and think sharper.
@@verbon47 processed sugar gets absorbed faster and spikes your insulin resulting in crashing of your blood sugar, less stable energy. you are forced to feed on sugar all day long, thats how you gain weight. better eat carbs that are more complex and get absorbed slower!
I am on TRT (my levels were at 93, so it was needed) and it helped me greatly. Mike forgot one important fact, if you start on TRT without needing it, your body will naturally stop producing it, so you will have to take it for the rest of your life.
Incorrect. Your body will (almost always) start producing test again once the exogenous test has cleared, given some time. Drugs can also be used to accelerate this process.
Oxidized linoleic acid is indeed unhealthy and does cause inflammation. It's not necessarily seed oils themselves but it's the process around it, processing, high temp oxidation etc. The latest studies were just published on it.
Hard agree. The problem with the nutrition community is that it seems like you can find a study that supports your perspective on either side. Its a bit frustrating in that regard. On this topic, I looked through some of the studies Dr. Mike pointed to and the conflict of interest alone is a pretty big red flag.
Yes, certain seed oils, particularly those high in omega-6 fatty acids, can contribute to inflammation when consumed in excess. The primary concern with seed oils is the imbalance between omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids in the modern diet, which can promote inflammatory processes in the body. Here's a breakdown of why seed oils can be inflammatory and which oils are the most concerning: ### 1. **Omega-6 Fatty Acids and Inflammation** - **Omega-6 fatty acids** are essential fats that the body needs for normal function, but when consumed in large amounts without a balance of omega-3s, they can lead to an increase in inflammatory markers. - The ideal ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 intake is believed to be around **1:1 to 4:1**, but modern Western diets often have a much higher ratio, sometimes as high as **20:1** or more. This imbalance can promote inflammation and is linked to various chronic diseases, such as heart disease, arthritis, and metabolic disorders. ### 2. **Common Inflammatory Seed Oils** - Some of the most commonly used seed oils that are high in omega-6 fatty acids include: - **Soybean oil** - **Corn oil** - **Cottonseed oil** - **Sunflower oil** - **Safflower oil** - **Grapeseed oil** - These oils are prevalent in processed and fried foods, as well as in many types of salad dressings, sauces, and snacks. ### 3. **Inflammation Mechanism** - Omega-6 fatty acids, particularly **linoleic acid**, are converted in the body into **arachidonic acid**, which is a precursor for the production of **pro-inflammatory compounds** called prostaglandins and leukotrienes. - While inflammation is a natural immune response, chronic inflammation driven by excessive omega-6 consumption is linked to conditions like **cardiovascular disease**, **type 2 diabetes**, and **obesity**. ### 4. **The Omega-6 to Omega-3 Ratio** - The imbalance between omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids is a key factor in the potential inflammatory effects of seed oils. While omega-6 fatty acids are necessary for certain functions, they need to be balanced with **anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids**, found in foods like fatty fish (salmon, sardines), flaxseeds, and walnuts. - **Omega-3 fatty acids** help counteract inflammation by promoting the production of anti-inflammatory compounds. ### 5. **Non-Inflammatory Oils** - Some oils are considered less inflammatory and may even have anti-inflammatory properties: - **Olive oil** (extra virgin): High in monounsaturated fats and antioxidants, particularly **oleic acid** and polyphenols, which have anti-inflammatory effects. - **Avocado oil**: Similar to olive oil, avocado oil is high in monounsaturated fats and has been shown to reduce inflammatory markers. - **Coconut oil**: Contains medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) that have been studied for their potential anti-inflammatory and metabolic benefits. However, it should be used in moderation due to its saturated fat content. - **Flaxseed oil**: High in omega-3 fatty acids (alpha-linolenic acid), which have anti-inflammatory effects. ### 6. **Processing and Inflammation** - **Highly processed seed oils** (often used in fast food and processed snacks) can be more inflammatory due to the refining process. This process involves high heat and chemicals, which can create harmful compounds like **trans fats** and **oxidized fats** that increase inflammation. - Cold-pressed, minimally processed oils tend to retain more beneficial nutrients and are less likely to contribute to inflammation. ### Conclusion While seed oils are not inherently bad in small amounts, the overconsumption of certain **omega-6-rich seed oils** can contribute to chronic inflammation, particularly when they dominate the diet and are not balanced with omega-3 fatty acids. To reduce inflammation, it's beneficial to: - Limit the intake of processed seed oils. - Increase consumption of **omega-3 fatty acids**. - Use **anti-inflammatory oils** like extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, or flaxseed oil as healthier alternatives. Balancing omega-6 and omega-3 intake is crucial for maintaining a healthy inflammatory response in the body.
LOL, in the UK we're less squeamish about names and just call it "rapeseed oil" - you can but it in any supermarket. Fun fact: The name "rapeseed" comes from the Latin word "rapum", which means "turnip." Rapeseed is part of the Brassicaceae family, which also includes turnips, mustard, cabbage, and other cruciferous vegetables. Ok, not that much fun. But still a fact :D
The town of Tisdale, Saskatchewan used to have the slogan “the land of R… and honey” because its biggest exports were rapeseed and honey. It even has a 16ft tall statue of a honey bee. But they had to change it. Not cause they were forced to though, more they just had enough of tourists being confused. It’s now “Opportunity grows here”. Which is actually pretty good tbh. But I miss the confusion. 😂
@@mattleonard5268 Doctors use the A1C test to check for prediabetes and diabetes. A range of 5.7-6.4% suggests a person may have prediabetes. Over 6.5% indicates diabetes. Yes, it is a huge difference.
I know you can overeat carbs, fats and even protein, but for me and it would seem many others it's a lot easier for me to regulate my intake of Rib Eye or potatoes than it is for me to regulate chocolate, sweets or soft drinks. I feel like sugar is the enemy for sure but it's psychological, I'm probably not going to overeat steak and eggs but I'll definitely overeat the crap out of some chocolate.
It is also, most junkfood is calorie dense. If you eat berries yes they have sugar in them, but you have to eat a whole lot of berrys in order for it to make you fat, and at that point you'll at least be sated. Where as a chocolate bar has a lot more sugar within one bite, and you still won't be satisfied.
Sugar has the quality of giving you an injection of insulin, a short burst of energy, and then a crash. This crash signals the hunger parts of the brain. Additionally, the caloric availability of sugar is super high and foods containing a lot of sugar are calorie dense. These qualities are a recipe for disaster for most people trying to control weight which is why "avoid sugar!" is good advice for the health-conscious.
Spot on, potato's, chips, bread, crackers, I can't stop. Steak I have to practically force myself to finish eating it. But then I feel good afterwards. So hard for me not to just know to stay away from carbs and suger🤷♂️
Small thing about the secret to kettlebells - The true advantage comes when you get to where you can hold the kettlebell out instead of letting it hand, because it fires your stabilizers way more through different movements.
Dr. Mike is very calm in this video. He is also not making fun of Joe Rogan like he do for other people. Dr. Mike don't want to loose his chance to get on JRE 😂😂
Nah, after the seed oils blow up Dr Mike knows how dangerous and awful it is to mock the far right online. They will spend years brigading Mike's content and lying about him the moment he makes fun of one of their idols

On the TRT, Dr. Mike hit the lifestyle point so well. I had low Free T and doc said it was probably lifestyle. First, I tried TRT to great effect but then I started fixing diet (especially adding more protein), sleep, and stress. I then stopped TRT and kept making huge gains and my Free T stayed in the normal range. It turns out that endurance athletes (even non-competitive marathoners like me) can depress their free testosterone if they don't jack up protein consumption similar to what Dr. Mike advises for bodybuilding. Research shows this negative cycle is accentuated in men as they age if they do a lot of long distance running/swimming/biking. I haven't taken TRT since I learned all this. I'm still getting stronger and building muscle.
Im 52 and do HRT for about 8 years. Get blood work done every 6 months. I also work have worked in trades for about 25 years and have weight trained most of my adult life. I notice the recovery times the most, its awesome.
@@johnmachter40 Testosterone helps repair and build muscle tissue. When your Testosterone is low, you're damaging muscle fibers by working out (good) but then not repairing them quickly enough to workout in even 48 hours later. I was around 300 previously and now around 1200 and the difference in recovery is absolutely noticeable.
My Senior Marine Instructor lives by the Turkish getup. He said it helped for getting off the ground with a heavier load with your hands doing something else, like holding a rifle or when you have a ruck sack on. I enjoyed the functionality
Yeah, I'd love to see him defend something like Rapeseed Oil with actual science. It literally comes from an inedible plant, and gets ultra processed before it ever makes it to the store. I'll pass on that. Also, saying sugar is fine as long as you are counting calories is such bull. He needs to be more specific than that. Are we talking fruit? Table sugar? Corn syrup? Honey? Huge difference between the type of sugar, and honestly I just try to avoid all of it as best I can.
@diesel_tech_three4332 Jacked 5'-5" guys dont really impress me. I know some and they get jacked doing 1/4 the work. Now show me the 6'-2" lanky fellow that gets jacked. Now that's impressive.
He has always talked highly of sugar and seed oils. I like his training stuff but i would not listen to anything he says about diet. When it comes to diet he only seems to consider calorie in calorie out and it doesnt matter what those calories are. I keep sugar at minimum since i know its bad and i dont need it. Same with seed oils, there's enough signs that suggest its bad for health so i avoid it as much as possible. I avoid ultraprocessed "food" in general.
Kettlebells plus body weight movements have been AMAZING! Helped me tremendously in boxing and BJJ. Maybe because swining kettlebel around gave me much better strength than dumbbels and barbell (Aside from lifting people up and slaming them in the ring, never my training partners of course)
In the first clip on Turkish get ups, Rogan was talking to Pavel Tsatsouline. It would be great to hear Mike's take on Pavel's training philosophy. This might not work with clips since he's not online much, but a review of his books, such as Enter the Kettlebell, Power to the People, and The Naked Warrior, could be insightful. In fact, a series of videos reviewing popular fitness books could be an excellent addition to the channel.
Was thinking this exactly. I would pay $1 to hear dr mike talk about pavels routine and approach. Totally up to dr mike if he wants to make money or not
@jmat7000 F$%k a WHOLE ASS DOLLAR?! Damn he would be such a fool if he passed up this once in a lifetime chance to earn a dollar, especially your dollar :D
Yup, I was wondering that for a while now. Pavel seems like a dude who's teaching a lot of make believe and doesn't seem to be very jacked or strong himself 🤔 or, at least I didn't see anything of him lifting heavy
Literally EVERY other youtuber needs to take notes from Dr. Mike, I generally skip adreads like the plague, but by fuck if I don't want an awesome enhancement tool that gives me the grip of goddam deity, Dr. Mikes adreads are legendary.
Sleep apnea is an absolute T-killer. I used to have this, but it doesn't seem so bad now. But I clearly remember about 10 years ago, I travelled around the country in my Explorer and slept in the front passenger seat, reclined about 45° (cos that's as far as it would go). What was crucial about that detail, was it was just at the angle where my breathing was unaffected when asleep. My health improved rapidly as I slept well for the first time in decades. At 45 (warning: overshare incoming...) I started having wood almost all night, while sleeping. Eventually, THAT was a bit of a problem, lol. (I did warn you. 😄)
Always loses me on seed oils. There's such a massive corelation between a high seed oil diet and obesity. Foods with seed oils are usually terrible, just trying to avoid them will always do you good whether it's from the seed oils themselves or what they are mostly used to cook.
There's literally only one thing that causes obesity. You know it, everybody knows it, the science is cut and dry. Calories in vs calories out. No amount of woowoo pseudoscience or bro-theory will change that. Cite one peer reviewed paper that says seed oils cause obesity by virtue of their chemical makeup vs the amount of calories they contain. Exactly, you can't.
Seed oils can be high in calories. That's the correlation. Nothing more, nothing less than people not watching their diets and failing to take into account that a tbsp of olive on its own is ~110 calories.
Not just correlation, we have some solid mechanistic hypothesis as to why exactly easily oxidized linoleic acid is a problem for humans. Just google The viewpoint "the oxidized linoleic acid hypothesis" by James J DiNicolantonio and James H O’Keefe from Department of Preventive Cardiology, Saint Luke’s Mid America Heart Institute. It has all the current evidence neatly listed in one place.
@@richardfierro2699 " That's the correlation. Nothing more, nothing less" I can tell you are not much involved in nutritional science. The oxidized Lionleic Acid Hypothesis is gaining more and more traction aswell. These are not correlations, and are verifiable via dozens of studies: "Greater amounts of linoleic acid oxidation products are found in LDL and plasma of patients with atherosclerosis.14 Greater amounts of linoleic acid oxidation products are found within atherosclerotic plaques and the degree of oxidation determines the severity of atherosclerosis.22 A diet higher in oleic acid or lower in linoleic acid decreases LDL susceptibility to oxidation.14 Endothelial cells oxidise LDL forming linoleic acid hydroperoxides.14 Linoleic acid is the most abundant fatty acid in LDL and is extremely vulnerable to oxidation being one of the very first fatty acids to oxidise.14 A meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials in humans found that when saturated fat plus trans-fat is replaced with omega-6 fat (high in linoleic acid), there is an increase in all-cause mortality, ischaemic heart disease mortality and cardiovascular mortality.41 The oxidation of linoleic acid in LDL leads to conjugated dienes (malondialdehyde and 4-hydroxynonenal), which covalently bind to apoB altering its structure creating oxidised LDL. oxLDL is no longer recognised by the LDL receptors on the liver but by scavenger receptors on macrophages causing monocyte infiltration into the subendothelium, foam cell formation and eventual atherosclerosis.14 Oxidation products of linoleic acid (including 9-HODE and 13-HODE) are found in infarcted tissue.44 Ultrasound of the carotid arteries in healthy patients who have high 9-HODE in LDL have signs of atherosclerosis.14 The increase in 9-HODE begins between 40 and 50 years old prior to the clinical manifestation of atherosclerosis.14 9-HODE is a good indicator of oxLDL, especially if other causes of inflammation are excluded. An increased oxidised LDL, and hence levels of 9-HODE and 13-HODE in LDL, found in patients with rheumatoid arthritis may explain why they have an increased risk of heart disease.45 9-HODE and 13-HODE stimulate the release of interleukin 1B from macrophages.45 The linoleic acid metabolite 9-HODE is a strong promoter of inflammation45 and hence may be both a marker and inducer of atherosclerosis. Susceptibility of LDL to oxidation correlates independently with the extent of atherosclerosis.46 15) Linoleic acid free fatty acids and hydroxy acids (such as 13-HODE) can induce direct toxic effects to the endothelium causing an increase inflammation, reactive oxygen species and adhesion molecules.33 34 Exposure of the endothelium to linoleic acid has been found to increase LDL transfer across the endothelium, an essential step in the atherosclerosis process.35 Oxidised linoleic acid metabolites (OXLAMs) are recognised by immune cells and can recruit monocytes/neutrophils to atherosclerotic lesions.47 OXLAMs are considered a danger signal activating innate immune cells, which are involved in atherosclerosis formation.48 49 Linoleic acid is the most abundant fat found in atherosclerotic plaques, and this has been known since at least the 1960s.50 Oxidised linoleic acid but not oxidised oleic acid is found in atherosclerotic plaques.51 Consuming more linoleic acid increases the amount of linoleic acid in complicated aortic plaques.52 Linoleic acid in adipose tissue and platelets positively associates with CAD, whereas EPA and DHA in platelets are inversely correlated with CAD.3 Linoleic acid serum concentrations (as opposed to per cent of fatty acids) are higher in patients with CAD.4 Using the fat-1 transgenic mouse model, which converts omega-6 to omega-3 creating an omega-6:omega-3 ratio of around 1:1 in tissues and organs, reduces atherosclerotic lesions by inhibiting systemic and vascular inflammation.53 Mice fed fish oil (high in omega-3) as compared with corn oil (high in omega-6) have a significant reduction in atherosclerotic plaque formation possibly due to an increase in antioxidant enzyme activity.54 There is more thin fibrous cap atheroma, less thick fibrous cap atheroma, less stable plaque and a greater percentage of plaque rupture in patients given sunflower oil (high in omega-6) versus control.55 An excess dietary intake of linoleic acid causes greater endothelial activation compared with an excess of saturated fat.56 Linoleic acid can activate vascular endothelial cells, a critical step for inducing atherosclerosis.57 58 Linoleic acid is inflammatory to the vascular endothelium.59 Linoleic acid metabolites promote cardiac arrhythmias, cell death, organ failure and cardiac arrest.60 Patients who have died from sudden cardiac death have more linoleic acid and less omega-3 polyunsaturated fats in their coronary arteries versus control patients who died mostly from traffic accidents.61 B ox 2 summarises the opposing views for (1) why linoleic acid may reduce CHD and (2) why linoleic acid may increase the risk of CHD." This is from The previously mentioned Viewpoint.

Back when my sister did High School Basketball she and her team used to eat peanutbutter and jelly sandwiches before practice, specifically for a combination of both some protein, and a lot of carbohydrates and sugars for spontaneous energy burst. I don't like grape jelly. So I took this idea and replaced it with a peanutbutter and raw honey sandwich before my workouts instead. Works wonders. ^.^
I tried Turkish get ups and everything Rogan is true. They promote grip, balance, stability and stamina. If you don't use the free hand to get up or sit down they definitely are difficult. I started with 15 lb kettle bell and it's a great addition to my process.
@@treyjetson5320 I've strengthened my grip by choking the worm that lives between my legs. It even adapts to my strength progression by increasing its hardness.
I mean yeah if you're eating shit loads of oil and poor protein sources. No shit. Luckily whey is a pretty good source, lean or even fatty meats are great and beyond a good balance of fats, you don't really need much more fat than you'll get through meats and some dairy or nuts/etc. a bit of seed oil doesn't do shit if your diet was good to begin with.
The only real world application for a Turkish get up is when a toddler jumps on you in a pool while you're unprepared. Source: My daughter jumped on me in our pool yesterday when I wasn't ready for it.
I'd love to see him have a conversation about this with someone who has done their research. To say there is "no controversy" surrounding seed oils is crazy to me. It doesn't take much effort to search through the literature snd find out that this is NOT the case. I dropped concentrated seed oils 15 years ago as part of a regimen to clear up severe cystic acne and it worked wonders for my skin and well being.
This is just one of those things that Dr. Mike seems to be very confidently wrong about. I strongly believe that seed oils are one of those things that we’re gonna look back at 100 years from now and be like “Oh my god, why did people ever put that crap in their food?”
I used the low carb carnivore type diet for a few years while training and competing in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. It worked well to keep keep my energy levels sustained through work and training. During competitions it was ok to maintain a decent energy level doing many matches throughout the day. Fortunately Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in the go does not require as much explosive power as other sports, but I don't think my explosive power and intensity was as high as it could have been with more carbohydrates. Recently I have wanted to gain more muscle mass and started lifting so I have added more carbohydrates to my diet. In the long run I think it is more sustainable to eat a moderate amount of healthy carbohydrates to help the body rebuild.
Also, low carb diets put a strain on your liver since that's where most of the gluconeogenesis takes place. In the end, a balanced diet will always be the healthiest, but people can certainly do other diets as long as they do their due diligence so they know what they are getting into.
I agree now but you got to be used to taking carbs and training throughout the day or else I would be worried about suddenly crashing after eating carbs during the competition day.

Dr.Mike I wanted to ask you about side effect of TRT and exogenous testosterone that everyone keep out of the sight of average Joe's that want to jump on it. And that side effect is infertility or inability to conceive a son. If you look up - almost every bodybuilder have only daughters, actors who jacked on gear is also mostly have only daughters. Do you have scientific explanation of mechanism behind that?
The FDA is a revolving door that is mostly from large food corporations which makes laws in favor of where they came from.

Take it from a rock climber if you want to increase your grip strength. Dead hangs.

"the Turkish Get Up is like the parlor trick of lifting" is the most solid and on-point thing I've heard today
Until you do a hundred with 60lb kettlebells.
Even the Russian judges chimed in and said it was a quality burn.
Maybe not the best for muscle growth but with proper form, it is an excellent exercise for core stability through a wide range of different body positions. Personally, I have found it really helpful to help prevent back injury as I lift heavier & climb harder routes.
@@AyoLeger It's completely established to be a lesser movement to things like cleans, deadlifts or barbell shoulder presses if you want upward pushing strenght.
In theory is should work, but the problem lies in (what Mike explained) the fact that your shoulder gives out before your core or whatever else you wanted to strenghten. So you are effectively limiting your gains because the core doesn't get worked enough.
Do it with a barbell then it's called a gardener lift. It's a great display of strength because 1st you have to master the one arm clean and jerk .
Even just 50k is quite challenging.
It's nor for body building its an exhibition lift . I.a.w.a sometimes throw it into competitions .

I was diagnosed with hypogonadism at 30 years old (my level was 165 ng/dl). Going on TRT was life changing. I can't even begin to explain how beneficial it has been.
You hae a pre-existing medical condition that was alleviated by going on TRT. At least I hope it was on doctor's orders.
in any case, that's a world of difference to the meatheads who use it to get swole...
What symptoms did you have leading up to it?
I’m 31 and was at like 260 after lifting for years. Also went on about two years ago and it changed my life.

Dude, same. I was a loader at FedEx for like 6 weeks before I decided I didn't like being crushed to death, and my boss decided he liked it better when the trucks actually got out on time. But in that 6 weeks, I lost like 30 lbs and got way stronger. My job after that was making pizza at Domino's for 2 years, and that had the opposite effect.
Me too brother for 7 years never again
Anyone who has never done this job, doesn't understand how physically taxing it is. I went into that job at 18 years old with a six pack standing at 6'3" and weighing about 220. I played football, basketball, and ran track my whole life year round. I thought I was "the man" and was in really good shape as I was serious about weight training, diet, and running at the time. That job kicked my ass every single day. Humbled me for sure. I never fully adapted in the year and a half I did it. It was seriously a challenge.
Never did roids in my life been lifting since was 14. Wound up with ball cancer and lost my ball at 43 years old. Test levels went down under 100. I get 1 CC a week and now back to a normal / nice 800-850 after a year and feel like a new man. Wasn’t a bad trade off 😂

I went on TRT on 39, had testicular cancer when I 25 so got one ball and actually needed it, it was a pretty noticable change but a way more noticable change was quitting alcohol, sleeping betterer, eating well and starting to train 4 months prior to going on it. Alcohol is fucking terrible for your mind, body and soul, quitting drinking should be tried before TRT
💯
One ball 😲
Needed to hear that, thanks mate!
Im not gonna say alcohol is healthy, but just my personal experience, i was drinking a lot of alcohol in 18-23 yo, and my test was in the roof. But i was eating healthy and working out hard from 14 yo too, so yes i dont think that alcohol so much supresses your test, i mean yes it causes hormonal inbalanace for like 2 days after drinking (libido up, propably estrogen peak) but then it comes back to normal.
Also note that im from eastern Europe so maybe we are build different
It’s eerie that I clicked on this video when I did. I was just thinking how I wanted to get my test levels checked because I had gained 30 pounds in the past year, eating like shit, drinking too much, and was getting uncontrollable panic attacks. Go in to the doctor’s with my BP at 167/112. He puts me on BP meds that make me feel like shit. I stopped taking them after a week, built my diet/ exercise program and kept it on point. 3 weeks later at my follow up, I’m down 17 pounds, BP is at 132/89, panic attacks are gone, and I am certain that I don’t need TRT.
Good job man. Similar story for me. I tried therapy and antidepressants for my anxiety/panic attacks. Nothing helped. I fixed my diet, stopped drinking on weekdays, prioritized getting quality sleep, and hit the gym 5x a week. Fixed everything.
Nice dude! Keep up the great work

@@ebogar42 yeah you need more data than just doctor visits. Get a cuff off of Amazon.
Lady here! I agree with you totally about the kettle bell thing! Honestly, I started to add subtle weight lifting when I was in my early 20's. I tried kettle bells first for weight lifting because I heard about them on a Joe Rogan podcast, not only was I really winded from the motion and more concerned about making the motion than actually building strength, but I was noticing a lot of clicking and pain and found ranges of motion awkward, simply because I wasn't used to lifting or moving weight 15 pounds plus. So from experience, I can tell youm dumbells are wayyyy better for a beginner. You really have to think about posture, movement, you can feel where pain is, where weakness is. You build speed and confidence and reps slowly. Unlike with kettle bells, where they make your mind more focused on momentum. They are better for people who already change and want to change range of motion up. But a simple cheap dumbell from wall mart at home and a bench is literally all most woman need to get a real burn! And you can buy dumbells with exchangeable weights to save money! There are so many videos that help you with form too! Just more effective and safe!

I'm glad Mike is addressing the "functional" strength stuff. People really like to shit on anything barebell or body building related despite those two things being really really good for size and strength.
"People" referring to Mario Rios & his fans amirite
I think most people's idea of functional strength is being able to move things from awkward angles or just different angles rather than traditional lifting with fixed exercises. So basically anything that has more of an emphasis on stabilizing muscles along with the main group being worked.
@@ThompsonBriartraditional strength training already covers this. Powerlifting, olympic lifting, strongman training will all make you stronger in those niche situations than just squatting on a bosu ball with a kettlebell in your mouth. Reason is because you can load astronomically more weight on those tiny muscles with a regular low bar backsquat than with some weird position you can't properly load to failure and use progressive overload on. The weight the more stable traditional backsquat allows you to move will simply outweight the fact that you can't quite get in that ultraspecific position with it.
If anything you're better off training them separately. You train the big 4 as heavy as you can and then you can go and teach that strong muscle to neurologically learn whatever athletic movement pattern you want it to go through. Calisthenics guys do this a lot. They train with weights for raw strength and then they go and harness it on the monkeybars
@@chumbucket6184 Extremely niche training focus, but one of the contestants from Alone (solo nature survival show on History Channel) went into detail about her training that did involve lots of the funky movements and stabilizing work because moving trees and rocks across a forest requires lots of weird movements and unnecessary muscle mass is detrimental when you might go weeks without eating.

What I like about turkish getups are the awkward loading angles and combinations of joint stabilizations. However, as far as carryover effect, TGUs make you better at TGUs, and thats about it. It is a fun way to test your shoulder mobility and balance, and I like to use it for conditioning drills paired with swings.
I just finished your video on 90's gym commercials, and now I see this 😂
Cool story bro 👍🏻
🥴
I think what JR actually means is the movements traditionally associated with kettlebells transfer better to athletic pursuits better than a bodybuilding focused routine. Explosive and leaning towards endurance due to rep count. As the man said, you can do all that with bars.
Well at least most of the exercises could be performed with bars/plates. However, the more explosive the exercise gets, the less practical it is to use traditional weights

I think that kettlebells are mainly nice because the way they load weight for certain motions and exercises. Dumbbells are totally useable and great, but certain movements the kettlebells feels a little bit easier to manage and get through a proper range of motion. For example, the Turkish get up. I did some variation of this for my injured shoulder maybe it's called a windmill, I can't remember, but it was similar in concept. Stabilize shoulder. While it's a minor gripe, it was slightly better with a kettlebell vs a dumbbell on my wrist, allowed me to keep it straighter, which is a nice advantage when we're talking healing an injury, every little thing could be a game changer.
Since the weight hangs down from the bar, the bells have a lower center of gravity per pound over the dumbbell. This means less leverage, so less “balancing muscle” strength is required. Using a lighter weight with a barbell is identical.
It’s like being “explosive” with a higher weight to feel stronger, rather than making slower movements with a lighter weight that actually challenged your muscles better. It’s a trick to make you feel stronger (or demonstrate strength to your friends/girl) rather than doing what actually makes you stronger.
I was a certified strength training coach in the 2000s. The myths in weight lifting are there to make clients feel better. Showing them the truth is much harder if what you care about is money vs results. I quit because educating clients was almost impossible.
He talked about the Turkish getup in this specific video...
@@teekue uh, yeah dude? That's why I specifically mentioned it lol
@@JasonJrake I totally understand what you're saying, and in my case specifically, it just felt better on my wrist. Perhaps I would have benefit from just a lighter weight as you said and going slower. What I did notice in my experience, was that I was in fact comfortably able to control more weight and get a better connection to the target muscle, just because of where the center of gravity landed and how it felt on my wrist. Perhaps you could argue I needed my wrist examined, but it wasn't chronically in pain, or anything like that
@@stevencosta7248 your reasoning makes sense. The whole “functional strength” fallacy has caused people to not understand the point of exercise. It’s to target muscle groups precisely.
And anything that works for you is better than all the ideal theory in the world.

This is SUCH a good episode. Exercise critique, TRT discussion and humour. This is why I keep coming back here.
IDK man, I’m building muscle naturally at 41 and it just seems like most TRT proponents on the internet are just people who used steroids who want to make excuses for still using steroids.
Im nearly 40 and just as strong as i was in my youth. I may have lost a bit of energy and stamina but not much. I do everything he mocks; eat lower glycemic diet etc. bros on trt look impressive but cant come close to my strength level.
Total misconception from you, and it’s okay. Influencers and fitness models on “trt” are normally at Supra physiological levels.. aka beyond normal which will cause problems down the line for MOST men.
Congrats on building muscle at 41, maybe look back at your blood work for test levels when you were 24-35… most likely they’ve gone down.
Mid you’re not experiencing any low test symptoms then you’re alright. Trt is like Botox for men, in the way that oftentimes well to do or individuals who have the money can invest in. Trt however will boost most areas of life not just aesthetics.
@@Jooseppeetotal misconception from you aswell but it’s okay.

Man I just found this channel. Quickly becoming one of my favourites. Thank you for your expertise! (And comedic timing)
I am on TRT (my levels were at 93, so it was needed) and it helped me greatly. Mike forgot one important fact, if you start on TRT without needing it, your body will naturally stop producing it, so you will have to take it for the rest of your life.
Example: Larry Wheels.
Incorrect. Your body will (almost always) start producing test again once the exogenous test has cleared, given some time. Drugs can also be used to accelerate this process.
Also not true if you run HCG or similar things alongside, as you don't get shutdown
@@judgejudyandexecutioner.5223if you can survive the depression, usually, yes.
Wrong.. but it takes around a decade to get the body to produce it naturally again
Oxidized linoleic acid is indeed unhealthy and does cause inflammation. It's not necessarily seed oils themselves but it's the process around it, processing, high temp oxidation etc. The latest studies were just published on it.
.
yep, they are literally chemically bleached and deodorized in industrial vats... look at Dr Mercolas work on this... not fit for human consumption
Hard agree. The problem with the nutrition community is that it seems like you can find a study that supports your perspective on either side. Its a bit frustrating in that regard. On this topic, I looked through some of the studies Dr. Mike pointed to and the conflict of interest alone is a pretty big red flag.
@@star-warsienAre there any seed oils you know of that are good to cook with? Thinking stir fry etc.
Coconut or liquid coconut oil. You can use olive oil but add water to the pan to keep the temperature down.
That’s why we need a Dr. Mike. A shit ton of health gurus, doctors and other fitness influencers recommend TRT just because of age threshold
Having your testosterone elevated all day every day comes with a lot of side effects. Not good for longevity.
Yes, certain seed oils, particularly those high in omega-6 fatty acids, can contribute to inflammation when consumed in excess. The primary concern with seed oils is the imbalance between omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids in the modern diet, which can promote inflammatory processes in the body. Here's a breakdown of why seed oils can be inflammatory and which oils are the most concerning:
### 1. **Omega-6 Fatty Acids and Inflammation**
- **Omega-6 fatty acids** are essential fats that the body needs for normal function, but when consumed in large amounts without a balance of omega-3s, they can lead to an increase in inflammatory markers.
- The ideal ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 intake is believed to be around **1:1 to 4:1**, but modern Western diets often have a much higher ratio, sometimes as high as **20:1** or more. This imbalance can promote inflammation and is linked to various chronic diseases, such as heart disease, arthritis, and metabolic disorders.
### 2. **Common Inflammatory Seed Oils**
- Some of the most commonly used seed oils that are high in omega-6 fatty acids include:
- **Soybean oil**
- **Corn oil**
- **Cottonseed oil**
- **Sunflower oil**
- **Safflower oil**
- **Grapeseed oil**
- These oils are prevalent in processed and fried foods, as well as in many types of salad dressings, sauces, and snacks.
### 3. **Inflammation Mechanism**
- Omega-6 fatty acids, particularly **linoleic acid**, are converted in the body into **arachidonic acid**, which is a precursor for the production of **pro-inflammatory compounds** called prostaglandins and leukotrienes.
- While inflammation is a natural immune response, chronic inflammation driven by excessive omega-6 consumption is linked to conditions like **cardiovascular disease**, **type 2 diabetes**, and **obesity**.
### 4. **The Omega-6 to Omega-3 Ratio**
- The imbalance between omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids is a key factor in the potential inflammatory effects of seed oils. While omega-6 fatty acids are necessary for certain functions, they need to be balanced with **anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids**, found in foods like fatty fish (salmon, sardines), flaxseeds, and walnuts.
- **Omega-3 fatty acids** help counteract inflammation by promoting the production of anti-inflammatory compounds.
### 5. **Non-Inflammatory Oils**
- Some oils are considered less inflammatory and may even have anti-inflammatory properties:
- **Olive oil** (extra virgin): High in monounsaturated fats and antioxidants, particularly **oleic acid** and polyphenols, which have anti-inflammatory effects.
- **Avocado oil**: Similar to olive oil, avocado oil is high in monounsaturated fats and has been shown to reduce inflammatory markers.
- **Coconut oil**: Contains medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) that have been studied for their potential anti-inflammatory and metabolic benefits. However, it should be used in moderation due to its saturated fat content.
- **Flaxseed oil**: High in omega-3 fatty acids (alpha-linolenic acid), which have anti-inflammatory effects.
### 6. **Processing and Inflammation**
- **Highly processed seed oils** (often used in fast food and processed snacks) can be more inflammatory due to the refining process. This process involves high heat and chemicals, which can create harmful compounds like **trans fats** and **oxidized fats** that increase inflammation.
- Cold-pressed, minimally processed oils tend to retain more beneficial nutrients and are less likely to contribute to inflammation.
### Conclusion
While seed oils are not inherently bad in small amounts, the overconsumption of certain **omega-6-rich seed oils** can contribute to chronic inflammation, particularly when they dominate the diet and are not balanced with omega-3 fatty acids. To reduce inflammation, it's beneficial to:
- Limit the intake of processed seed oils.
- Increase consumption of **omega-3 fatty acids**.
- Use **anti-inflammatory oils** like extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, or flaxseed oil as healthier alternatives.
Balancing omega-6 and omega-3 intake is crucial for maintaining a healthy inflammatory response in the body.
LOL, in the UK we're less squeamish about names and just call it "rapeseed oil" - you can but it in any supermarket. Fun fact: The name "rapeseed" comes from the Latin word "rapum", which means "turnip." Rapeseed is part of the Brassicaceae family, which also includes turnips, mustard, cabbage, and other cruciferous vegetables. Ok, not that much fun. But still a fact :D
Love it thanks
There are more seed oils than rapeseed.
@@JTguitarlessons wincest

I took a low carb and low sugar approach and my A1C went from 6.6 to 5.3 in 6 months. I got rid of bread, rice and soft drinks.
Is that a huge difference?
@@mattleonard5268 Doctors use the A1C test to check for prediabetes and diabetes. A range of 5.7-6.4% suggests a person may have prediabetes. Over 6.5% indicates diabetes. Yes, it is a huge difference.
I know you can overeat carbs, fats and even protein, but for me and it would seem many others it's a lot easier for me to regulate my intake of Rib Eye or potatoes than it is for me to regulate chocolate, sweets or soft drinks. I feel like sugar is the enemy for sure but it's psychological, I'm probably not going to overeat steak and eggs but I'll definitely overeat the crap out of some chocolate.
It is also, most junkfood is calorie dense. If you eat berries yes they have sugar in them, but you have to eat a whole lot of berrys in order for it to make you fat, and at that point you'll at least be sated. Where as a chocolate bar has a lot more sugar within one bite, and you still won't be satisfied.
Sugar has the quality of giving you an injection of insulin, a short burst of energy, and then a crash. This crash signals the hunger parts of the brain. Additionally, the caloric availability of sugar is super high and foods containing a lot of sugar are calorie dense. These qualities are a recipe for disaster for most people trying to control weight which is why "avoid sugar!" is good advice for the health-conscious.
Spot on, potato's, chips, bread, crackers, I can't stop. Steak I have to practically force myself to finish eating it. But then I feel good afterwards. So hard for me not to just know to stay away from carbs and suger🤷♂️
There's just SO much sugar in everything, it's super easy to over consume sugar.
I can go whole life without chocolate or candies, but I'm absolutely addicted to potato chips, that shit has ruined my life

Small thing about the secret to kettlebells - The true advantage comes when you get to where you can hold the kettlebell out instead of letting it hand, because it fires your stabilizers way more through different movements.

On the TRT, Dr. Mike hit the lifestyle point so well. I had low Free T and doc said it was probably lifestyle. First, I tried TRT to great effect but then I started fixing diet (especially adding more protein), sleep, and stress. I then stopped TRT and kept making huge gains and my Free T stayed in the normal range. It turns out that endurance athletes (even non-competitive marathoners like me) can depress their free testosterone if they don't jack up protein consumption similar to what Dr. Mike advises for bodybuilding. Research shows this negative cycle is accentuated in men as they age if they do a lot of long distance running/swimming/biking. I haven't taken TRT since I learned all this. I'm still getting stronger and building muscle.

Your senior marine instructor doesn’t know wtf they’re talking about 😂
Mike says, no problem with sugar and seed oils...trust me.
He'll have to come to the argument with a little more data than that.
Agreed that was a horrible take.
Well, rather than just 'trust me bro', he did say there's overwhelming research consensus and that literature is publicly available on PubMed.
Yeah, I'd love to see him defend something like Rapeseed Oil with actual science. It literally comes from an inedible plant, and gets ultra processed before it ever makes it to the store. I'll pass on that.
Also, saying sugar is fine as long as you are counting calories is such bull. He needs to be more specific than that. Are we talking fruit? Table sugar? Corn syrup? Honey? Huge difference between the type of sugar, and honestly I just try to avoid all of it as best I can.
@diesel_tech_three4332 Jacked 5'-5" guys dont really impress me. I know some and they get jacked doing 1/4 the work.
Now show me the 6'-2" lanky fellow that gets jacked. Now that's impressive.
He has always talked highly of sugar and seed oils. I like his training stuff but i would not listen to anything he says about diet. When it comes to diet he only seems to consider calorie in calorie out and it doesnt matter what those calories are. I keep sugar at minimum since i know its bad and i dont need it. Same with seed oils, there's enough signs that suggest its bad for health so i avoid it as much as possible. I avoid ultraprocessed "food" in general.
Kettlebells plus body weight movements have been AMAZING! Helped me tremendously in boxing and BJJ. Maybe because swining kettlebel around gave me much better strength than dumbbels and barbell (Aside from lifting people up and slaming them in the ring, never my training partners of course)
Thats the risk you take if you change: that people you've been involved with won't like the new you. But other people who do will come along.
In the first clip on Turkish get ups, Rogan was talking to Pavel Tsatsouline. It would be great to hear Mike's take on Pavel's training philosophy. This might not work with clips since he's not online much, but a review of his books, such as Enter the Kettlebell, Power to the People, and The Naked Warrior, could be insightful. In fact, a series of videos reviewing popular fitness books could be an excellent addition to the channel.
Was thinking this exactly. I would pay $1 to hear dr mike talk about pavels routine and approach. Totally up to dr mike if he wants to make money or not
Dr. Mike would have a field day with that "military" style workout video Pavel has

Always loses me on seed oils. There's such a massive corelation between a high seed oil diet and obesity. Foods with seed oils are usually terrible, just trying to avoid them will always do you good whether it's from the seed oils themselves or what they are mostly used to cook.
There's literally only one thing that causes obesity. You know it, everybody knows it, the science is cut and dry. Calories in vs calories out. No amount of woowoo pseudoscience or bro-theory will change that. Cite one peer reviewed paper that says seed oils cause obesity by virtue of their chemical makeup vs the amount of calories they contain. Exactly, you can't.
This right here. And his dumbass comment about "right wing" people and seed oils is DUMB AF!!!!!
Seed oils can be high in calories. That's the correlation. Nothing more, nothing less than people not watching their diets and failing to take into account that a tbsp of olive on its own is ~110 calories.
Not just correlation, we have some solid mechanistic hypothesis as to why exactly easily oxidized linoleic acid is a problem for humans. Just google The viewpoint "the oxidized linoleic acid hypothesis" by James J DiNicolantonio and James H O’Keefe from Department of Preventive Cardiology, Saint Luke’s Mid America Heart Institute.
It has all the current evidence neatly listed in one place.
@@richardfierro2699 " That's the correlation. Nothing more, nothing less" I can tell you are not much involved in nutritional science. The oxidized Lionleic Acid Hypothesis is gaining more and more traction aswell. These are not correlations, and are verifiable via dozens of studies:
"Greater amounts of linoleic acid oxidation products are found in LDL and plasma of patients with atherosclerosis.14
Greater amounts of linoleic acid oxidation products are found within atherosclerotic plaques and the degree of oxidation determines the severity of atherosclerosis.22
A diet higher in oleic acid or lower in linoleic acid decreases LDL susceptibility to oxidation.14
Endothelial cells oxidise LDL forming linoleic acid hydroperoxides.14
Linoleic acid is the most abundant fatty acid in LDL and is extremely vulnerable to oxidation being one of the very first fatty acids to oxidise.14
A meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials in humans found that when saturated fat plus trans-fat is replaced with omega-6 fat (high in linoleic acid), there is an increase in all-cause mortality, ischaemic heart disease mortality and cardiovascular mortality.41
The oxidation of linoleic acid in LDL leads to conjugated dienes (malondialdehyde and 4-hydroxynonenal), which covalently bind to apoB altering its structure creating oxidised LDL. oxLDL is no longer recognised by the LDL receptors on the liver but by scavenger receptors on macrophages causing monocyte infiltration into the subendothelium, foam cell formation and eventual atherosclerosis.14
Oxidation products of linoleic acid (including 9-HODE and 13-HODE) are found in infarcted tissue.44
Ultrasound of the carotid arteries in healthy patients who have high 9-HODE in LDL have signs of atherosclerosis.14
The increase in 9-HODE begins between 40 and 50 years old prior to the clinical manifestation of atherosclerosis.14
9-HODE is a good indicator of oxLDL, especially if other causes of inflammation are excluded. An increased oxidised LDL, and hence levels of 9-HODE and 13-HODE in LDL, found in patients with rheumatoid arthritis may explain why they have an increased risk of heart disease.45
9-HODE and 13-HODE stimulate the release of interleukin 1B from macrophages.45
The linoleic acid metabolite 9-HODE is a strong promoter of inflammation45 and hence may be both a marker and inducer of atherosclerosis.
Susceptibility of LDL to oxidation correlates independently with the extent of atherosclerosis.46
15) Linoleic acid free fatty acids and hydroxy acids (such as 13-HODE) can induce direct toxic effects to the endothelium causing an increase inflammation, reactive oxygen species and adhesion molecules.33 34
Exposure of the endothelium to linoleic acid has been found to increase LDL transfer across the endothelium, an essential step in the atherosclerosis process.35
Oxidised linoleic acid metabolites (OXLAMs) are recognised by immune cells and can recruit monocytes/neutrophils to atherosclerotic lesions.47 OXLAMs are considered a danger signal activating innate immune cells, which are involved in atherosclerosis formation.48 49
Linoleic acid is the most abundant fat found in atherosclerotic plaques, and this has been known since at least the 1960s.50
Oxidised linoleic acid but not oxidised oleic acid is found in atherosclerotic plaques.51
Consuming more linoleic acid increases the amount of linoleic acid in complicated aortic plaques.52
Linoleic acid in adipose tissue and platelets positively associates with CAD, whereas EPA and DHA in platelets are inversely correlated with CAD.3
Linoleic acid serum concentrations (as opposed to per cent of fatty acids) are higher in patients with CAD.4
Using the fat-1 transgenic mouse model, which converts omega-6 to omega-3 creating an omega-6:omega-3 ratio of around 1:1 in tissues and organs, reduces atherosclerotic lesions by inhibiting systemic and vascular inflammation.53
Mice fed fish oil (high in omega-3) as compared with corn oil (high in omega-6) have a significant reduction in atherosclerotic plaque formation possibly due to an increase in antioxidant enzyme activity.54
There is more thin fibrous cap atheroma, less thick fibrous cap atheroma, less stable plaque and a greater percentage of plaque rupture in patients given sunflower oil (high in omega-6) versus control.55
An excess dietary intake of linoleic acid causes greater endothelial activation compared with an excess of saturated fat.56 Linoleic acid can activate vascular endothelial cells, a critical step for inducing atherosclerosis.57 58
Linoleic acid is inflammatory to the vascular endothelium.59
Linoleic acid metabolites promote cardiac arrhythmias, cell death, organ failure and cardiac arrest.60
Patients who have died from sudden cardiac death have more linoleic acid and less omega-3 polyunsaturated fats in their coronary arteries versus control patients who died mostly from traffic accidents.61 B ox 2 summarises the opposing views for (1) why linoleic acid may reduce CHD and (2) why linoleic acid may increase the risk of CHD."

Don't seed oils cause more inflammation than other oils like olive oil, avocado oil and animal oils?
I'd love to see him have a conversation about this with someone who has done their research. To say there is "no controversy" surrounding seed oils is crazy to me. It doesn't take much effort to search through the literature snd find out that this is NOT the case. I dropped concentrated seed oils 15 years ago as part of a regimen to clear up severe cystic acne and it worked wonders for my skin and well being.
Yeah that was a wild statement. Anyone with autoimmune issues can tell you how much better life is without seed oils.
This is just one of those things that Dr. Mike seems to be very confidently wrong about.
I strongly believe that seed oils are one of those things that we’re gonna look back at 100 years from now and be like “Oh my god, why did people ever put that crap in their food?”

@@taylordeaton214that’s what I told my family I’m doing with heroin.
I used the low carb carnivore type diet for a few years while training and competing in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. It worked well to keep keep my energy levels sustained through work and training. During competitions it was ok to maintain a decent energy level doing many matches throughout the day. Fortunately Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in the go does not require as much explosive power as other sports, but I don't think my explosive power and intensity was as high as it could have been with more carbohydrates. Recently I have wanted to gain more muscle mass and started lifting so I have added more carbohydrates to my diet. In the long run I think it is more sustainable to eat a moderate amount of healthy carbohydrates to help the body rebuild.
For a match day can still add some Carbs to get more burst.
Also, low carb diets put a strain on your liver since that's where most of the gluconeogenesis takes place. In the end, a balanced diet will always be the healthiest, but people can certainly do other diets as long as they do their due diligence so they know what they are getting into.
I agree now but you got to be used to taking carbs and training throughout the day or else I would be worried about suddenly crashing after eating carbs during the competition day.
Let’s call it as it is! Rogan is cranking some “Juice.” Absolutely no doubt about it!
He never denied it, he openly supports TRT
