I wouldn’t, I really don’t want the pain, fatigue and simply feeling fat by over eating carbs and then trying to get back to not eating as I’ll be addicted once again.
@@MegaPoliyoare you one of them? Because you took it too personal. There are doctors out there that only give tou meds to suppress symptoms but they really don’t or can’t go to the root cause. Most only regurgitated what Big Pharma feeds them because it’s easier than to keep digging the real cause of the disease. No one said they weren’t smart, they just get too comfortable.
Thank you so much for this Dr Abs. I am sharing it with my stepfather who has suffered a heart attack & bowel cancer, had a quadruple bypass and is now prediabetic, although slipping into type 2 rapidly, and all because of eating too much of the wrong "food" for too many years. Neither he nor my mother have listened to me over the last few years, as I have transformed my health by adopting an animal based diet, so hopefully they will listen to you 🙏🏻

I agree stopped carbs lowered my A1c tryglycerides went down and hdl went up and doctors said miraculous improvements. I exercise now and am feeling much better.best thing I ever did
Another fantastic explanation - it beggars belief that Type-2 diabetes is still, overwhelmingly, being considered as a progressive and non-reversable disease.

Subscribed straight away and watched almost all your videos. I've been on a mission to make better care of health and skin. Is there any chance you could make a video on a proper face routine without moisturizers, vitamins and sunscreen, how to use, what goes first and maybe best products that you have used? Would really make my day to hear it from you since I no longer trust "gurus" out there!
Just want to say thank you for not including any stupid hype music in your videos now. It really elevates your videos above others just seeking more viewer retention and sensationalism. I can actually focus on the arguments you are making, I hope this change stays...
Wow, so thankful that this video came up on my feed. Someone that thinks logically. Thank you! Thank you! I work in the medical field and am a logical thinker. Today's medical training defies logic. I have helped many family members escape the never ending pill pushing. An elderly family member convinced me to go with them to see the cardiologist. Mind boggling to say the least. She came in the room with her mind already set on a treatment plan and was not willing to have a logical discussion. I told the family member I just can't be a part of this fallacy. It goes against every ethical fiber in my body.
I have been struggling with "anxiety" for 8 years and honestly thought I was losing my mind at times. I recently discovered I am having some kind of glucose response, although my glucose numbers are within "normal" range. I'm on day 6 of absolutely no added sugar or carbs and only small amounts of natural sugars. I already have major improvements from the horrible state I have been enduring the last 8 yrs.
GOD bless you Doc! Thank you so much. Do you know how many people you are saving with this info??? I'm now an ardent subscriber to your channel! So simple and logical! Oh my God! I feel like tearing up! Just stop all carbs for a while and wala! Thank you Jesus for the life of Dr. Abs!
Are you a strict carnivore? Any resources you recommend to start the carnivore diet? I'm concerned how I will get my calcium and other vitamin intake through just meat? Thanks in advance!
@@theyouthfulstoic Not strict. I'd say 90% animal based. There are times I have "off", for birthdays/Christmas or a day where I just feel like eating the SWD (Standard Western Diet). But boy.... do I feel it every time. I'm not a doctor, but my understanding is when you remove carbs and plants that stop your body from absorbing vitamins, your needed daily intake goes way down. For example, glucose (sugar) and vitamin C fight for the same pathway into your cells. Glucose always wins. So when removing glucose as an energy source, the vitamin C from meat alone is enough to give you body what it needs. Calcium I'm unsure of, but you are allowed to have dairy on carnivore. Would stick to higher fat content dairy (cream, cheese) rather than too much milk, but don't base your whole diet on dairy. Stick mainly to red meat and some fish for omega 3.
Could you please, please, please talk about autoimmune disease. I have been referred to a leading immunologist but don’t want to go when I know the outcome will be to take a pill and not resolve the problem. With all the technology we have today why hasn’t anybody figured it out yet. Thank you for the video 🙏
Aside from this content being excellent, who else here just wants this man explaining things to them always? Just follow me around and be the explainer. Thank you. 😂
Carb/ sugar overload creates glucose toxicity and subsequent insulin resistance over time. Most individuals secrete too much insulin/ hyperinsulinaemia. Stress response compounded by poor food choices laden with carb, sugar, fats and very minimal protein.
I'm confused is keto to loose the fat? Fiber to eat and what about oxylates and carivore ( l do also know parasites love meat too.. l hope l don't sound crazy but lm not sure what to do? People say no fruit worsens insulin .... lm lost l also have pcos now menopause .. Have you heard insulin also can happen from cortisol?
@@joanneclark8256 Keto is to lose your body fat, carnivore is a simpler way of doing it (for some). Your body can make its own glucose slightly raising insulin. The idea is to have no carbs so you get fat adapted and your body then makes the absolute minimum necessary amount of glucose.
Could you explain why some people can eat carbohydrates and appear to not have an issue? Is this because they adapt and their body acclimatises to run on carbohydrates rather than fats? Historically humans have eaten fruit, honey, roots, etc. etc. for a long time. Meat may have been the key focus however berries would have been prized. So is fructose the problem or over indulging on fructose?
I was doing very low carb...meat , fish ,nuts for years. The only carbs were cruciferous veg & some raspberries a couple of times a week. I had extreme bloating,, this week I cut out the vegetables & bloating has stopped
@@niamhbyrne4036 because the gas cannot pass to you ass to make fart. Some animals can even die from this, cause their internals are not good for gas travel.
Dr. Abs…. This was one of the best lectures I have heard on the explanation of diabetes and insulin resistance! Your analogies were fantastic. You Ned to teach people how to lecture!! I fast 20 - 24 hours and eat 30 carbs max. My blood sugar just stays high in the mid 200’s. I exercise and it goes down 60-100 pts. I’m doing it all to get back healthy. I will say I’m losing size and feeling fantastic. Will my blood glucose go down eventually?? I should be normal by now….
Thank you 🙏 As you lower the carbs it should, but obviously I don't know everything about you or your lifestyle, what else you eat etc so I can't give a definitive answer
@musicalessence3936 I am experiencing the same exact thing. I'm eating a carnivore diet, so I'm getting nearly zero carbs. My blood sugar refuses to normalize. It stays between 200 and 250. The only time it goes down is after taking a walk. I do FEEL better. Numerous other problems have resolved, but my blood sugar is so stubborn. My doctor keeps pushing me to go on long acting insulin to manage it. I don't want to manage it, I want to REVERSE it! I would love to know if you are able to figure out the problem as to why we aren't getting the same results so many others have gotten. I'm on my 6th month of carnivore, and it's so frustrating. I feel like I'm missing something important.
@@Rhaina73 girl, I feel you!!!! Don’t give up! Keep doing you and I would encourage OMAD. Our bodies just need way more time than others…. I would also say to do your exercise after your meal. Remember to take your B1….. take like 900 mg along with your other vitamins. It’s gonna break, it has too. Your body is healing if you feel better, so just know that it’s happening and relax on checking your blood…. It takes 3-4 months to replace the old blood. I believe in you!!!!
I eat very healthy, I grow some of my own food and avoid carbs and seed oils. I still take supplements because I can't get everything I need from the food I eat. NMN, NAC, TUDCA, Inositol, K2 D3, Berberine and Curcumin have all made a noticeable difference to the quality of my life.
There was a famous study in Denmark in 2011 that gave people alternatives and the real thing. There was still weight gain with alternatives so I think it's a waste of time frankly. I'm happy to see more info and change my mind though.
As soon as I saw the diagram of veins and arteries and how one side gets blockage and the other doesn't and one side has oxygen and the other doesn't - it was obvious to me (who knows nothing) that the oxygen level HAD to be a cause. Obviously! You got me hooked now - first Vit D and now cholesterol. THANK YOU I'm subscribed. So now I'm going to watch this one for my Type 2 info necessary for me to make good decisions.
Agreed…if the diet is right, you don’t need supplements, BUT our food is not what it should be any longer. These deficiencies plus high cortisol from controlled stress can lead to malfunctioning in the body. Many people are not eating enough to maintain the body weight that they carry. Calories are already restricted for long periods and they don’t lose weight…thus the metabolic syndrome we see becoming more prevalent in the population.
With the food nutrient levels in store bought and mass-commercially grown produce being significantly lower than a few decades ago, and with industrially cooked and processed food often cooked at pressure cooker high temperatures (to massively reduce cooking/production time) which also destroys many of the more sensitive nutrients….people may look normal through to obese, but many are starved of nutrients of a scale seen in times of famine, regardless of body size/appearance. Supplementation is the often the only way to get enough nutrients to bring people back from deficient levels…and even then I suspect because of the low nutritional food it would require the occasional topping up and a minimal maintenance dose being taken of key nutrients…especially when you consider the massive levels of gut disturbances in the population. I think for now all we can do is keep learning and look towards supporting smaller traditional farmers and food growers
Hello, I really liked the video, I am a 17 years old T1D and I take the gym very seriously, how many carbs should I eat and why? Anyway I have heard no carb decreases testosterone and since I want to develop well I am a bit concerned. Do you think the cure is near or should I just give up on the possibility of becoming diabetis free one day? Thank you a lot
Thank you Doctor for this information. My nine year old son is newly diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. The specialists are drilling into us the importance of carb consumption for him. Is it feasible to place him on a ketogenic diet?
I have been Type 1 Diabetic for 45 years and carbs will spike and prolong high blood sugar. I would advise to avoid them as much as possible and dose his insulin accordingly if he is consuming carbs. Wearing a CGM helps a lot to monitor the spikes and see how your food affects your sugar.
Why is this so seemingly prevalent these days? Insulin is a hormone right, well there’s also A LOT of hormone disrupters in the environment these days.
@@Dr_Abs not even post workout? Even for an endurance athlete? Or would you think just protein is sufficient? What about elevated cortisol levels post workout? Wouldn't carbohydrates help lower cortisol and even help with the recovery phase?
I have done tca peel myself at home , It gone wrong to concentrated at some areas and caused chemical butn and hyperpigmentation . Can u kindly make a short vedio on its reversal and treatment….
So are you saying stop eating carbs? I am borderline diabetes and my own body told me to stop eating sugar before my test showed this, but I do eat allot of carbs!
@@joanneclark8256 yes. all forms are carbohydrate are converted to glucose in the body. Glucose is like the most basic form of sugar. Your body produces its own glucose by using fat stores or by using protein. that it why you can survive without eating any carbs.
I cured my husband's diabetes by mega dosing vitamin B1 and B1 cofactors. He no longer uses insulin or takes any diabetic meds. I had read that all diabetics are deficient in vitamin B1 so we supplemented B1 to help manage his blood sugars. Surprisingly he stopped needing insulin and meds. This happened over 4-6 months. He just needed less and less .
@@chickletloki8444 he takes a methylated B complex with benfotiamine (fat soluble form of B1) in the morning. 300 mg of benfotiamine mid-day and 200 mg of B1 at night. He also takes 50 mg zinc, a triple magnesium (night), and choline.
He takes 50 mg of zinc (morning). A triple magnesium.(Night) Eats eggs for choline. Takes a methylated B complex (methylefolate not folic acid) morning 300 mg of benfotiamine (fat soluble form of B1).afternoon 200 mg of B1 (night). I usually buy from piping rock health products. I buy the B complex from life extension because it is the best complex for price I have found.
Always change diet slowly. I supervise my patients for 2-3 months for the change. Unfortunately, if you're a vegetarian you're probably better off working on eating meat than restricting carbs.
Long and intense exercise is contraindicated in human beings. We wouldn't have run for long distances for fun because food was scarce. However, the body will break down what it needs to to produce a glucose load
@@Dr_Abs I am sure the intense part is true but certainly the hunters and gatherer’s walked for long distances for food . May I ask why the carnivore diet ? I don’t buy that early humans ate only meat . It only makes sense that they would eat what was in their environment which many archaeological studies show may have been nuts and berries and some other plant based foods. Doesn’t it make sense that our DNA would be different in what are bodies need and are able to digest based on what we had access too. I have been on every diet searching for the one that makes me feel the best . I have been on the carnivore after watching how many people felt great on it . I did not feel great on it . I am a lay person reaching for answers and like your videos so keep that in mind before you rake me over the coals 😳.
Doc, can you please do a video on subcision for tethered scarring, especially for a patients 40 plus years of age. Appreciate your channel immensely. Ty
im on year3 and still pre-diabetic, so for some of us, its not this simple. iv tried suppliments galore, i walk 10k steps a day and pressups, focus on sleep. zero alcohol. zero junkfood. started vegetarian, recently gone omni. starting to think its a genetic thing, and if thats the case, im not sure what the fix is. 😞
@@davidhine8870get a grounding mat. Maybe you are being exposed to too much emf. The research is there. Grounding donates electrons to the body to increase blood flow. Several studies showing grounding helps BG levels and there are studies showing chronic emf exposure increases BG. You can read “Dirty electricity elevates blood sugar among electrically sensitive diabetics and may explain brittle diabetes.” Ultimate longevity is the company I recommend.
Did u take sugar and sugar substitutes out of ur diet? Did u fix ur gut micro biome? Fasting resets many things, 24 hrs once a week at least helps with fixing metabolism
This is why next week I'm going to have a full set of blood tests, including fructosamine not just fasting insulin and hba1c. I can't afford a glucose monitor so I keep pricking my fingers 😢
Thanks Dr. Abs for another brilliant informative lesson. May I ask you this: Since you are in a Carnivore Diet, did you consider supplementing with glycine?
Hi Dr Abs, gotta say I’m loving these videos. Been subscribed for a while but had to comment now ! I actually also love the longer form content. I know longer videos possibly dont do so well in terms of viewership numbers. I would happily watch a video on this topic if it were 30 or 45 mins long or even longer !!!!
Can't the same thing be said for High Blood Pressure. Even though it can be dangerous it rises to keep my body alive in the face of maybe unhealthy eating habits and lifestyle?
My father had diabetes ( type 2 ) for more than 30 years. He had to use Metformin and insulin injection everyday to control his blood sugar. After a fall he developed a traumatic brain injury (TBI), the surgeon had to drain the hematoma and relieve pressure in the brain. He recovered very quickly. Now here the strange thing, after the surgery we noticed that his diabetes completely disappeared, and consequently his stopped all medications related to that. He was 90 years old.
❤🙏🏾 I have two very close friends and both Diabetic one constantly fluctuates other somewhat stable On meds and insulin… I need to share this for them to look at
Thank you for this insightful video. What are your thoughts on soil degradation and its effect on the nutritional profile of food, if not supplication??
Interesting! I'm having a bit of a dilemma, as I'm a Mody1 diabetic. Age 65, I was diagnosed as T1 nearly 50 years ago. Was recently re diagnosed through genetic testing. Fasting for a few days, I can get down to zero injected insulin and cruise along quite nicely with normal BG, once all injected insulin and all glugogen stores are depleted. Obviously fueled by ketones. But it's not sustainable! Even though carnivore, once I go back to feeding myself it's hard to maintain level BG. So I inject insulin. I think for me if I can keep the glucogen stores emptied I wouldn't have to use extra insulin, or very little. Just doing that is the issue though😆. How much exercise can one do....always my own N=1 experiment! The human body is a wondrous thing and it blows my mind all this knowledge of how it works at a cellular level is coming to light. Only wish we'd had the internet 50 years ago!!!
Eric Berg, Dr Ken Berry, and many others. Thomas Delaur. Lol meanwhile a dietician that messaged me online tried to convince that low carb diet causes imbalance of glucose and you need glucose and then put this opposite negative perspective that we "compensate*" with gluoconeogenisis and that she knows the biochemistry but it's too complex to write or understand and explain. I immediately stopped talking to them. and when I told her I felt better and lost weight with lowering carbs and intermittent fasting and I said how Most people should eat this way/safe for most people, she insisted I found a diet that *works for me* as if pushing low carb is dangerous when literally It's the base State for all humans lol. Can't believe there's professionals in this age like that, people pay money to, for broken half-hearted results.
Hey just a question, how come you recently started carnivore and not earlier? or is this not your first rodeo? what were you doing before? That dietician really confused me because 1. she accused what high carbs do to blood sugar spikes (or low sugar, she didnt explicitly use the term imbalance), and blamed it on keto. 2. I wasn't even on keto, I was definitely still having more than 100 grams of less refined carbs, I just cut my carb intake by half. Anyway nothing she said added up. I still have yet to try keto long term and look forward to completely reversing metabolic damage. I'm just tight on money and eat what's available. Carbs really also unfortunately what people get from food banks or when money's tight. but then again keto and carnivore is not that much more expensive. I live with others and tend to eat what's there to waste less.
So if we do low carb long enough, can our body still find glucose to use for when needed? If so where does it keep finding the glucose if we’re not putting in. Like lets stay we been keto for 20 years, we know we no longer have any glucose storage left right?
I was a diabetic for 15 years and meds stopped working and docs were suggesting to take insulin and statins. I changed my eating and food habits, and for past one year I have Hb1c value of 5.4…normal without medicines.
So to summarise, you helped your patient to reverse diabetes by simply reducing/eliminating carbs from their diet? Does this mean they ate veg and proteins only? (In addition to healthy lifestyle like exercise etc)
The carbs was one aspect. We also looked at exercise, sleep, intermittent fasting etc. I'm hoping to do a video interview with this patient or another to walk thru the cases fully and step by step
a true reversal of insulin resistance would still allow one to eat a moderate amount of carbs without spiking insun. The goal should be metabolic flexibility, one should be able to metabolize an appropriate amount of fats, carbs & protein efficiently. Carnivores are fond of saying the body can produce all the glucose it needs, the liver may make enough to keep you alive but not necessarily thrive, ie you don't mind dealing with muscle cramps etc from lack of glycogen stores, especially if you are athletic. refer to Paul Saladino and others who have had to add carbs back in.
Yes you can lots of carbs in some veg and dairy but he’s not taking about those carbs he’s taking about processed food however the Italians eat bread pasta and it’s supposed to be the best diet as they are particularly in Sicily blue zone!
Question: When you eat carbs at lunch and then again at dinner, sometimes the second meal will not spike as high as the first. So some say you should eat carbs because a low carb diet can cause you to become diabetic if you then eat some carbs and your body is not used to it. It causes taller spikes that if you had primed your body with the glucose. SO>>>>>> should you or should you not prime with some small amt of carbs? My dr said we should eat carbs but to watch portion size. Will eating low carb and then sprinkling in some carbs along the way make you full blown diabetic?
There’s a dietician Charmaine on YT who says ‘it’s not carbs that cause insulin resistance, and anyone who tells you it does, doesn’t know what they’re talking about’, does what you are saying contradict her? I’m so confused.
Is there a part of gluconeogenesis that will make slightly more glucose production so as not to lose too much weight. In 11 months i went from 180 lbs to 140 but have not hit bottom. Still dropping even with boosted externally sourced carbs. Question: does body know when to stop?
It is a complete disgrace that in the UK no doctor will know the resting insulin levels or even test for insulin resistance in their patients. The only test they run is full blown diabetes and often when the patient is complaining of blindness or numbness in their limbs.
Can you please tell me what treatment should be used for diabetes foot wound? My dad has one for months now and it is treated in different ways but it is not healing. Yesterday I saw your video about Sunekos, where you showed couple of diabetes wounds cured with it, but if I understood you correctly you said it was a topical version of it. Also, would Aminother be useful as additional theraphy to Sunekos (cream)? Thank you.
If you look into Bentothiamine (the fat soluble form of vitamin B1), R-Alpha Lipoic Acid (it must be ONLY the ‘R’ form, NOT the ‘S’ form or a blend of the two…this is important as the cheaper S form is a waste of money and blocks the R form!), then there’s myo-inositol (often sold in capsules including choline, which is good because the choline helps with the accompanying fatty liver issues), and a good quality multi ‘B’ vitamin which must have the methylated bio available forms in…avoid all multi-B supplements that have the cyanocobalamin form of B12 in, or the cheap Folic Acid instead of a type of methyfolate (it sets the supplements apart). To summarise for ease of reference: Benfotiamine R Alpha Lipoic Acid Myo Inositol Methylated Multi-B Vitamins. Whilst supplements can’t undo a bad diet, once diabetic neuropathy has set in then, because of the rebuilding/repairing of damaged nerves and the damage to peripheral blood vessels, then usually there are deficiencies (or higher demands) for the relevant nutrients to fix the damage. If you search the above key supplements you’ll see that they’re the primary supplements recommended….and I know this because I’ve spent considerable time myself over the last few weeks researching it to help a good friend. All the above items I’ve literally purchased myself on someone’s behalf so I can’t give an update on progress yet, but I’ve read plenty of testimonials in comments where they work…and a recent comment I read, they were pleased to report that they’d noticed a definite difference with peripheral neuropathy within the first four weeks or so, and by around 4 months they’re at around a 95% reduction. It’s not just about getting the material required to fix the damage, but also getting it all the way down to the extremities with a damaged circulatory system. There is also the route of peptide injections to help the body’s own repair system, and NAD injections as well which could speed healing (this channel also has a good video on NAD injections), and you can buy these without a prescription….but personally it’s something I would use in addition to the above supplements. The above supplements should give them a chance to replenish the body’s depleted stores first maybe, then add in the peptides. Some other supplements I’ve added into the mix (although not as important as the above 4) are Acetyl L-Carnitine, K2 (but it must be the MK-4 NOT the MK7…this channel has an awesome video on this), and a good magnesium supplement (magnesium glycinate or citrate are good but avoid the cheap and poorly absorbed magnesium oxide). I hope this helps and sorry it’s so long. Hopefully by describing the better performing types/variants of the specific supplements it will help you avoid wasting money on ineffective versions. The brands I like are; life extension, Now, and metabolic’s….theres loads of fake or ineffective supplements out there and there’s a channel starting to do testing across the brands to show many of them have zero active ingredient in them and are a total scam….with the less expensive supplements like magnesium it’s not usually an issue I would imagine, but with the more specific, and therefore more costly supplements like the R Alpha Lipoic Acid variant, it’s worth going straight for the known good quality brands. God bless and wishing a speedy recovery for everyone experiencing this. 🙂💕👍🏻
@@RaMa-m1d2z No worries, glad to help after trawling through it all myself….it might be worth watching some of the shorter summary videos on each of the four primary supplements (and the Acetyl L Carnitine too) just to familiarise yourself with how they work and the function they perform, and also things like effective doses or the best way/time to take them (for example the Carnitine is recommended to take a dose in the morning on an empty stomach). Probably best to take basic notes you can easily refer back to, so you’re not having to trawl back through videos trying to re-find specifics (which I forgot to do, lol!)!!! Dr Berg and some other channels do great summary videos of the key points, or better yet, just search UA-cam with the supplement name combined with the phrase ‘Peripheral neuropathy’ so you reduce the video choice down to the most relevant (because these supplements help in a large number of different conditions). It should help you get knowledgeable in the fastest time and cut out all the unnecessary non-specific stuff….it’ll avoid you loosing the will to live (lol!) as each supplement is such a huge topic on their own. I’m glad I’ve narrowed down the search for someone else and I hope your Dad heals ok. Don’t forget the really good stuff like a chilled out father-daughter trip to the park with a picnic lunch…sometimes it’s the most unexpected things that give people a healing and energetic boost…emotions matter and reduce stress chemicals/hormones. Lastly (sorry 😂) when you look into the peptide injections for possible future use with the NAD, I think the three peptides I’ve nearly narrowed it down to are TB-500, which if memory serves correctly actually helps give the commands or gets the nutrients where they need to get to and where the injury is. Then there’s a good all rounder like BPC-157 and also GHK-CU which is apparently amazing for skin repair and healing. They’re not hugely expensive and Oxford Peptides and the needles etc are all available off Amazon believe it or not (I have them parked in my basket, Lol!). As far as topical creams go, they can help to a degree, but it is a bit like having a huge damp patch on the walls in your home and thinking you can just paint over it…you have to fix it from within. Topical medicine is an aide but rarely a cure for systemic internal dysfunctions/diseases. Anyways, I’ll leave you in peace now, I do tend to ramble on. God bless, Hugs 🤗💕👍🏻
OK.. a question... I'm a t1 diabetic and been doing carnivore/zero carb for about 3 months and seen major improvements. However.... despite eating zero carbs, my BG is constantly rising and I'm using way too much insulin (over 50 units a day) to keep it in range. Any thoughts?
This video was mainly for type 2. For type 1, the key is to figure out how many cells are still capable of making the outputs. Because I don't have that info on you I can't give you a definitive answer I'm afraid

I have helped many family members escape the never ending pill pushing. An elderly family member convinced me to go with them to see the cardiologist. Mind boggling to say the least. She came in the room with her mind already set on a treatment plan and was not willing to have a logical discussion. I told the family member I just can't be a part of this fallacy. It goes against every ethical fiber in my body.
Would love to hear more of these case study type videos of other patients where you’ve helped them on a specific goal💪💪💪
Truly fascinating
More on the way!
I have been struggling with "anxiety" for 8 years and honestly thought I was losing my mind at times. I recently discovered I am having some kind of glucose response, although my glucose numbers are within "normal" range. I'm on day 6 of absolutely no added sugar or carbs and only small amounts of natural sugars. I already have major improvements from the horrible state I have been enduring the last 8 yrs.
Would love to see your analysis about Type 1 diabetes and your solution/recommandation. Thank you for the great content.
GOD bless you Doc! Thank you so much. Do you know how many people you are saving with this info??? I'm now an ardent subscriber to your channel! So simple and logical! Oh my God! I feel like tearing up! Just stop all carbs for a while and wala! Thank you Jesus for the life of Dr. Abs!
As a 6 year carnivore, this is the simplest and best explanation I have seen. Thank you.
@@TheLeon1032 Concentration is very level.
Are you a strict carnivore? Any resources you recommend to start the carnivore diet? I'm concerned how I will get my calcium and other vitamin intake through just meat? Thanks in advance!
@@theyouthfulstoic Not strict. I'd say 90% animal based. There are times I have "off", for birthdays/Christmas or a day where I just feel like eating the SWD (Standard Western Diet). But boy.... do I feel it every time. I'm not a doctor, but my understanding is when you remove carbs and plants that stop your body from absorbing vitamins, your needed daily intake goes way down. For example, glucose (sugar) and vitamin C fight for the same pathway into your cells. Glucose always wins. So when removing glucose as an energy source, the vitamin C from meat alone is enough to give you body what it needs. Calcium I'm unsure of, but you are allowed to have dairy on carnivore. Would stick to higher fat content dairy (cream, cheese) rather than too much milk, but don't base your whole diet on dairy. Stick mainly to red meat and some fish for omega 3.
Could you please, please, please talk about autoimmune disease. I have been referred to a leading immunologist but don’t want to go when I know the outcome will be to take a pill and not resolve the problem. With all the technology we have today why hasn’t anybody figured it out yet. Thank you for the video 🙏
I would love that show.
Aside from this content being excellent, who else here just wants this man explaining things to them always? Just follow me around and be the explainer. Thank you. 😂
Well explained, getting sick of the term insulin resistant when it's really carb overload.
Carb/ sugar overload creates glucose toxicity and subsequent insulin resistance over time. Most individuals secrete too much insulin/ hyperinsulinaemia. Stress response compounded by poor food choices laden with carb, sugar, fats and very minimal protein.
@@Thefoodguidetofitnessyup me ! I'm low income ... would you know how one can get better please
I'm confused is keto to loose the fat?
Fiber to eat and what about oxylates and carivore ( l do also know parasites love meat too.. l hope l don't sound crazy but lm not sure what to do? People say no fruit worsens insulin .... lm lost l also have pcos now menopause ..
Have you heard insulin also can happen from cortisol?
@@Thefoodguidetofitnesschickpea? In can ok guess them l hear no to high carb
@@joanneclark8256 Keto is to lose your body fat, carnivore is a simpler way of doing it (for some). Your body can make its own glucose slightly raising insulin. The idea is to have no carbs so you get fat adapted and your body then makes the absolute minimum necessary amount of glucose.
Thank you for the video ❤
What if you are doing keto? Where do ketones fit in the picture?
Great explanation. Thank you for deliniating your opinion v. accepted facts. This explanation makes sense.
Could you explain why some people can eat carbohydrates and appear to not have an issue? Is this because they adapt and their body acclimatises to run on carbohydrates rather than fats? Historically humans have eaten fruit, honey, roots, etc. etc. for a long time. Meat may have been the key focus however berries would have been prized. So is fructose the problem or over indulging on fructose?
Hiw he answers
I was doing very low carb...meat , fish ,nuts for years. The only carbs were cruciferous veg & some raspberries a couple of times a week. I had extreme bloating,, this week I cut out the vegetables & bloating has stopped
who would thought cruciferous vegetables make people fart
@@rm6857 you'd think right? But they didn't make me fart( which would be completely natural...they just caused bloating......
@@niamhbyrne4036 because the gas cannot pass to you ass to make fart. Some animals can even die from this, cause their internals are not good for gas travel.
You teach and explain really well.
Dr. Abs…. This was one of the best lectures I have heard on the explanation of diabetes and insulin resistance! Your analogies were fantastic. You Ned to teach people how to lecture!!
I fast 20 - 24 hours and eat 30 carbs max. My blood sugar just stays high in the mid 200’s. I exercise and it goes down 60-100 pts. I’m doing it all to get back healthy. I will say I’m losing size and feeling fantastic. Will my blood glucose go down eventually?? I should be normal by now….
Thank you 🙏
As you lower the carbs it should, but obviously I don't know everything about you or your lifestyle, what else you eat etc so I can't give a definitive answer
@musicalessence3936 I am experiencing the same exact thing. I'm eating a carnivore diet, so I'm getting nearly zero carbs. My blood sugar refuses to normalize. It stays between 200 and 250. The only time it goes down is after taking a walk. I do FEEL better. Numerous other problems have resolved, but my blood sugar is so stubborn. My doctor keeps pushing me to go on long acting insulin to manage it. I don't want to manage it, I want to REVERSE it! I would love to know if you are able to figure out the problem as to why we aren't getting the same results so many others have gotten. I'm on my 6th month of carnivore, and it's so frustrating. I feel like I'm missing something important.
@@Rhaina73 girl, I feel you!!!! Don’t give up! Keep doing you and I would encourage OMAD. Our bodies just need way more time than others…. I would also say to do your exercise after your meal. Remember to take your B1….. take like 900 mg along with your other vitamins. It’s gonna break, it has too. Your body is healing if you feel better, so just know that it’s happening and relax on checking your blood…. It takes 3-4 months to replace the old blood. I believe in you!!!!
@@musicalessence3936 thank you for the encouragement. I will NOT give up!
I eat very healthy, I grow some of my own food and avoid carbs and seed oils. I still take supplements because I can't get everything I need from the food I eat. NMN, NAC, TUDCA, Inositol, K2 D3, Berberine and Curcumin have all made a noticeable difference to the quality of my life.
Add NAC/Glycine, Taurine, MSM powder and other stuff.
Nice job. How do you feel about allulose as a sugar substitute?
There was a famous study in Denmark in 2011 that gave people alternatives and the real thing. There was still weight gain with alternatives so I think it's a waste of time frankly. I'm happy to see more info and change my mind though.
As soon as I saw the diagram of veins and arteries and how one side gets blockage and the other doesn't and one side has oxygen and the other doesn't - it was obvious to me (who knows nothing) that the oxygen level HAD to be a cause. Obviously! You got me hooked now - first Vit D and now cholesterol. THANK YOU I'm subscribed. So now I'm going to watch this one for my Type 2 info necessary for me to make good decisions.
Amazing explanation !!!!!
Agreed…if the diet is right, you don’t need supplements, BUT our food is not what it should be any longer. These deficiencies plus high cortisol from controlled stress can lead to malfunctioning in the body. Many people are not eating enough to maintain the body weight that they carry. Calories are already restricted for long periods and they don’t lose weight…thus the metabolic syndrome we see becoming more prevalent in the population.
With the food nutrient levels in store bought and mass-commercially grown produce being significantly lower than a few decades ago, and with industrially cooked and processed food often cooked at pressure cooker high temperatures (to massively reduce cooking/production time) which also destroys many of the more sensitive nutrients….people may look normal through to obese, but many are starved of nutrients of a scale seen in times of famine, regardless of body size/appearance.
Supplementation is the often the only way to get enough nutrients to bring people back from deficient levels…and even then I suspect because of the low nutritional food it would require the occasional topping up and a minimal maintenance dose being taken of key nutrients…especially when you consider the massive levels of gut disturbances in the population.
I think for now all we can do is keep learning and look towards supporting smaller traditional farmers and food growers
Hello, I really liked the video, I am a 17 years old T1D and I take the gym very seriously, how many carbs should I eat and why?
Anyway I have heard no carb decreases testosterone and since I want to develop well I am a bit concerned. Do you think the cure is near or should I just give up on the possibility of becoming diabetis free one day?
Thank you a lot
There’s actually no minimum requirement for carbs per day; just like sugar.
Thank you Doctor for this information. My nine year old son is newly diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. The specialists are drilling into us the importance of carb consumption for him. Is it feasible to place him on a ketogenic diet?
Can’t answer your question, but just wanted to say: He’s lucky to have you looking into all this for him. May you find your answers!
I have been Type 1 Diabetic for 45 years and carbs will spike and prolong high blood sugar. I would advise to avoid them as much as possible and dose his insulin accordingly if he is consuming carbs. Wearing a CGM helps a lot to monitor the spikes and see how your food affects your sugar.

Excellent explanation.
WHATS your Opinion on carbs before weight training? I'd love to hear your views.

Your body has generated a glucose level in the blood already and it can be increased if you exercise. Carbs before exercise aren't essential I'd say.
@@Dr_Absthankyou appreciated ❤
@@Dr_Abs not even post workout? Even for an endurance athlete? Or would you think just protein is sufficient? What about elevated cortisol levels post workout? Wouldn't carbohydrates help lower cortisol and even help with the recovery phase?

So are you saying stop eating carbs? I am borderline diabetes and my own body told me to stop eating sugar before my test showed this, but I do eat allot of carbs!
Carbs is sugar...!
@@PoeticAmmunition. Like spinach apples lettuce??
@@joanneclark8256 yes. all forms are carbohydrate are converted to glucose in the body. Glucose is like the most basic form of sugar. Your body produces its own glucose by using fat stores or by using protein. that it why you can survive without eating any carbs.
I cured my husband's diabetes by mega dosing vitamin B1 and B1 cofactors.
He no longer uses insulin or takes any diabetic meds.
I had read that all diabetics are deficient in vitamin B1 so we supplemented B1 to help manage his blood sugars.
Surprisingly he stopped needing insulin and meds. This happened over 4-6 months.
He just needed less and less .
How much b1 did he take a day?
@@chickletloki8444 he takes a methylated B complex with benfotiamine (fat soluble form of B1) in the morning. 300 mg of benfotiamine mid-day and 200 mg of B1 at night.
He also takes 50 mg zinc, a triple magnesium (night), and choline.
what are the co factors and dosage for everything, please?
What brand of B1 did he used???
He takes 50 mg of zinc (morning). A triple magnesium.(Night) Eats eggs for choline. Takes a methylated B complex (methylefolate not folic acid) morning
300 mg of benfotiamine (fat soluble form of B1).afternoon
200 mg of B1 (night).
I usually buy from piping rock health products.
I buy the B complex from life extension because it is the best complex for price I have found.
Can you advise how vegetarians can restrict carbs from their diets?
Always change diet slowly. I supervise my patients for 2-3 months for the change. Unfortunately, if you're a vegetarian you're probably better off working on eating meat than restricting carbs.
Insulin is one of the problems for women getting pregnant, if insulin levels are high!
Hiw do we eat right when lm being told no eggs ? Oils ..watch fatty liver which is connect to insulin

How does the body make it fast enough during long and intense exercise? Doesn’t it take longer for glycogenesis to take place?
Long and intense exercise is contraindicated in human beings. We wouldn't have run for long distances for fun because food was scarce.
However, the body will break down what it needs to to produce a glucose load
@@Dr_Abs
I am sure the intense part is true but certainly the hunters and gatherer’s walked for long distances for food . May I ask why the carnivore diet ? I don’t buy that early humans ate only meat . It only makes sense that they would eat what was in their environment which many archaeological studies show may have been nuts and berries and some other plant based foods. Doesn’t it make sense that our DNA would be different in what are bodies need and are able to digest based on what we had access too. I have been on every diet searching for the one that makes me feel the best . I have been on the carnivore after watching how many people felt great on it . I did not feel great on it . I am a lay person reaching for answers and like your videos so keep that in mind before you rake me over the coals 😳.
Are you implying that people should avoid fruits/berries? If so why
Serious mood lighting - Wow, you used the good "c" word. Bold!

I’ve done keto for years and lost 70kgs but still insulin resistant type 2 diabetic 😢
im on year3 and still pre-diabetic, so for some of us, its not this simple. iv tried suppliments galore, i walk 10k steps a day and pressups, focus on sleep. zero alcohol. zero junkfood. started vegetarian, recently gone omni. starting to think its a genetic thing, and if thats the case, im not sure what the fix is. 😞
@@davidhine8870get a grounding mat. Maybe you are being exposed to too much emf. The research is there. Grounding donates electrons to the body to increase blood flow. Several studies showing grounding helps BG levels and there are studies showing chronic emf exposure increases BG. You can read “Dirty electricity elevates blood sugar among electrically sensitive diabetics and may explain brittle diabetes.” Ultimate longevity is the company I recommend.
@@davidhine8870have you tried keto or carnivore?
Did u take sugar and sugar substitutes out of ur diet? Did u fix ur gut micro biome? Fasting resets many things, 24 hrs once a week at least helps with fixing metabolism

Thanks Dr. Abs for another brilliant informative lesson.
May I ask you this: Since you are in a Carnivore Diet, did you consider supplementing with glycine?
What kind of doctor is he ? So many chiropractors speak the same

Hi Dr Abs, gotta say I’m loving these videos.
Been subscribed for a while but had to comment now !
I actually also love the longer form content. I know longer videos possibly dont do so well in terms of viewership numbers. I would happily watch a video on this topic if it were 30 or 45 mins long or even longer !!!!
Thank you 😊 I have you covered, don't worry 🔥
I believe if your diet is good,then you don't need supplements. I am on a keto diet/lifestyle.
Can't the same thing be said for High Blood Pressure. Even though it can be dangerous it rises to keep my body alive in the face of maybe unhealthy eating habits and lifestyle?
My father had diabetes ( type 2 ) for more than 30 years. He had to use Metformin and insulin injection everyday to control his blood sugar.
After a fall he developed a traumatic brain injury (TBI), the surgeon had to drain the hematoma and relieve pressure in the brain. He recovered very quickly.
Now here the strange thing, after the surgery we noticed that his diabetes completely disappeared, and consequently his stopped all medications related to that.
He was 90 years old.
Hiw to get well????
What is your take on Carinivore MD - Paul Saladino's opinion that humans need fruits along with carnivore diet?
Hi do you think Botox ever has its place if you also use tretinoin & have sunekos treatments?

Good question, depends on the patient (without being too long an answer). It can do but only for short term imo. I never recommend Botox long term.

What are your thoughts on soil degradation and its effect on the nutritional profile of food, if not supplication??
It is honestly one of the biggest problems our entire civilization faces frankly
Interesting! I'm having a bit of a dilemma, as I'm a Mody1 diabetic. Age 65, I was diagnosed as T1 nearly 50 years ago. Was recently re diagnosed through genetic testing.
Fasting for a few days, I can get down to zero injected insulin and cruise along quite nicely with normal BG, once all injected insulin and all glugogen stores are depleted. Obviously fueled by ketones.
But it's not sustainable! Even though carnivore, once I go back to feeding myself it's hard to maintain level BG. So I inject insulin. I think for me if I can keep the glucogen stores emptied I wouldn't have to use extra insulin, or very little. Just doing that is the issue though😆. How much exercise can one do....always my own N=1 experiment!
The human body is a wondrous thing and it blows my mind all this knowledge of how it works at a cellular level is coming to light. Only wish we'd had the internet 50 years ago!!!
Eric Berg, Dr Ken Berry, and many others. Thomas Delaur.
Lol meanwhile a dietician that messaged me online tried to convince that low carb diet causes imbalance of glucose and you need glucose and then put this opposite negative perspective that we "compensate*" with gluoconeogenisis and that she knows the biochemistry but it's too complex to write or understand and explain.
I immediately stopped talking to them.
and when I told her I felt better and lost weight with lowering carbs and intermittent fasting and I said how Most people should eat this way/safe for most people, she insisted I found a diet that *works for me* as if pushing low carb is dangerous when literally It's the base State for all humans lol.
Can't believe there's professionals in this age like that, people pay money to, for broken half-hearted results.
'causes imbalance of glucose' 🤣🤣🤣 I've heard it all now 🤣
Hey just a question, how come you recently started carnivore and not earlier? or is this not your first rodeo? what were you doing before?
That dietician really confused me because 1. she accused what high carbs do to blood sugar spikes (or low sugar, she didnt explicitly use the term imbalance), and blamed it on keto.
2. I wasn't even on keto, I was definitely still having more than 100 grams of less refined carbs, I just cut my carb intake by half.
Anyway nothing she said added up.
I still have yet to try keto long term and look forward to completely reversing metabolic damage. I'm just tight on money and eat what's available.
Carbs really also unfortunately what people get from food banks or when money's tight.
but then again keto and carnivore is not that much more expensive. I live with others and tend to eat what's there to waste less.
I heard this..
ua-cam.com/users/shortsX5qQ2M8pnXQ?si=dmnRhzvaVpYbjFcs
Being told should be about both carbs once insulin sensitive..
So if we do low carb long enough, can our body still find glucose to use for when needed? If so where does it keep finding the glucose if we’re not putting in. Like lets stay we been keto for 20 years, we know we no longer have any glucose storage left right?
Glucose is made from fats and amino acids. That's why there's no such thing as an essential carb but we have essential fatty acids and amino acids.
@@Dr_Abs ok awesome!!!! Thanks 🙏
Might be useful to note that this helpful video relates to Type 2 diabetes (not Type 1)
Absolutely
I was a diabetic for 15 years and meds stopped working and docs were suggesting to take insulin and statins. I changed my eating and food habits, and for past one year I have Hb1c value of 5.4…normal without medicines.
What you eat and do?
So to summarise, you helped your patient to reverse diabetes by simply reducing/eliminating carbs from their diet?
Does this mean they ate veg and proteins only?
(In addition to healthy lifestyle like exercise etc)
The carbs was one aspect. We also looked at exercise, sleep, intermittent fasting etc. I'm hoping to do a video interview with this patient or another to walk thru the cases fully and step by step
Has anyone taken Gymnema Sylvestre or Bitter Melon to get off insulin
Can insulin resistant or diabetes be from lack vit d b12 or chromium?
a true reversal of insulin resistance would still allow one to eat a moderate amount of carbs without spiking insun. The goal should be metabolic flexibility, one should be able to metabolize an appropriate amount of fats, carbs & protein efficiently. Carnivores are fond of saying the body can produce all the glucose it needs, the liver may make enough to keep you alive but not necessarily thrive, ie you don't mind dealing with muscle cramps etc from lack of glycogen stores, especially if you are athletic. refer to Paul Saladino and others who have had to add carbs back in.
Paul has lost the plot
And the cramps
@@jerrywilhelm5122 which noone else has if they do things right anyway
Yes you can lots of carbs in some veg and dairy but he’s not taking about those carbs he’s taking about processed food however the Italians eat bread pasta and it’s supposed to be the best diet as they are particularly in Sicily blue zone!
All i can say ive been keto and carnivore and struggled with cramps until i added back 50-100 grams of low glycemic carbs and the cramps disappeared.
I recently listened to "The Glucose Revolution". Be keen to know your or other thoughts on the book
My pancreas is not doing well and insulin is high as well... pcos and now menopause
Dude, great battery analogy!
Question: When you eat carbs at lunch and then again at dinner, sometimes the second meal will not spike as high as the first. So some say you should eat carbs because a low carb diet can cause you to become diabetic if you then eat some carbs and your body is not used to it. It causes taller spikes that if you had primed your body with the glucose. SO>>>>>> should you or should you not prime with some small amt of carbs? My dr said we should eat carbs but to watch portion size. Will eating low carb and then sprinkling in some carbs along the way make you full blown diabetic?
Do we need to stop taking med on this method?
I have been eating healthy for a year now and still can’t get my sugar down.
There’s a dietician Charmaine on YT who says ‘it’s not carbs that cause insulin resistance, and anyone who tells you it does, doesn’t know what they’re talking about’, does what you are saying contradict her? I’m so confused.
I'd be happy to debate her

Is there a part of gluconeogenesis that will make slightly more glucose production so as not to lose too much weight. In 11 months i went from 180 lbs to 140 but have not hit bottom. Still dropping even with boosted externally sourced carbs. Question: does body know when to stop?
My 'opinion' is that the body will always do what is best for survival as a result of the evolution story etc.
@@Dr_AbsComing from you, that’s all I need to know.
I had the same problem. I also had to add carbs and dairy back in the stop the weight loss. I dropped from 120 to 103 and now back up to 118.
What about Type 1 diabetes when insulin is not produced……restricting carbs wont help….??

@@Dr_AbsI really wanted the Sunkist supplement. Gotta wait until next year? Is there anything you can recommend in the meantime?
It is a complete disgrace that in the UK no doctor will know the resting insulin levels or even test for insulin resistance in their patients. The only test they run is full blown diabetes and often when the patient is complaining of blindness or numbness in their limbs.

Can you please tell me what treatment should be used for diabetes foot wound? My dad has one for months now and it is treated in different ways but it is not healing. Yesterday I saw your video about Sunekos, where you showed couple of diabetes wounds cured with it, but if I understood you correctly you said it was a topical version of it. Also, would Aminother be useful as additional theraphy to Sunekos (cream)? Thank you.
If you look into Bentothiamine (the fat soluble form of vitamin B1), R-Alpha Lipoic Acid (it must be ONLY the ‘R’ form, NOT the ‘S’ form or a blend of the two…this is important as the cheaper S form is a waste of money and blocks the R form!), then there’s myo-inositol (often sold in capsules including choline, which is good because the choline helps with the accompanying fatty liver issues), and a good quality multi ‘B’ vitamin which must have the methylated bio available forms in…avoid all multi-B supplements that have the cyanocobalamin form of B12 in, or the cheap Folic Acid instead of a type of methyfolate (it sets the supplements apart).
To summarise for ease of reference:
Benfotiamine
R Alpha Lipoic Acid
Myo Inositol
Methylated Multi-B Vitamins.
Whilst supplements can’t undo a bad diet, once diabetic neuropathy has set in then, because of the rebuilding/repairing of damaged nerves and the damage to peripheral blood vessels, then usually there are deficiencies (or higher demands) for the relevant nutrients to fix the damage. If you search the above key supplements you’ll see that they’re the primary supplements recommended….and I know this because I’ve spent considerable time myself over the last few weeks researching it to help a good friend.
All the above items I’ve literally purchased myself on someone’s behalf so I can’t give an update on progress yet, but I’ve read plenty of testimonials in comments where they work…and a recent comment I read, they were pleased to report that they’d noticed a definite difference with peripheral neuropathy within the first four weeks or so, and by around 4 months they’re at around a 95% reduction. It’s not just about getting the material required to fix the damage, but also getting it all the way down to the extremities with a damaged circulatory system.
There is also the route of peptide injections to help the body’s own repair system, and NAD injections as well which could speed healing (this channel also has a good video on NAD injections), and you can buy these without a prescription….but personally it’s something I would use in addition to the above supplements. The above supplements should give them a chance to replenish the body’s depleted stores first maybe, then add in the peptides.
Some other supplements I’ve added into the mix (although not as important as the above 4) are Acetyl L-Carnitine, K2 (but it must be the MK-4 NOT the MK7…this channel has an awesome video on this), and a good magnesium supplement (magnesium glycinate or citrate are good but avoid the cheap and poorly absorbed magnesium oxide).
I hope this helps and sorry it’s so long. Hopefully by describing the better performing types/variants of the specific supplements it will help you avoid wasting money on ineffective versions. The brands I like are; life extension, Now, and metabolic’s….theres loads of fake or ineffective supplements out there and there’s a channel starting to do testing across the brands to show many of them have zero active ingredient in them and are a total scam….with the less expensive supplements like magnesium it’s not usually an issue I would imagine, but with the more specific, and therefore more costly supplements like the R Alpha Lipoic Acid variant, it’s worth going straight for the known good quality brands.
God bless and wishing a speedy recovery for everyone experiencing this. 🙂💕👍🏻
@@trappedinroom1014 Thank you sooo much!
@@RaMa-m1d2z No worries, glad to help after trawling through it all myself….it might be worth watching some of the shorter summary videos on each of the four primary supplements (and the Acetyl L Carnitine too) just to familiarise yourself with how they work and the function they perform, and also things like effective doses or the best way/time to take them (for example the Carnitine is recommended to take a dose in the morning on an empty stomach). Probably best to take basic notes you can easily refer back to, so you’re not having to trawl back through videos trying to re-find specifics (which I forgot to do, lol!)!!!
Dr Berg and some other channels do great summary videos of the key points, or better yet, just search UA-cam with the supplement name combined with the phrase ‘Peripheral neuropathy’ so you reduce the video choice down to the most relevant (because these supplements help in a large number of different conditions). It should help you get knowledgeable in the fastest time and cut out all the unnecessary non-specific stuff….it’ll avoid you loosing the will to live (lol!) as each supplement is such a huge topic on their own.
I’m glad I’ve narrowed down the search for someone else and I hope your Dad heals ok. Don’t forget the really good stuff like a chilled out father-daughter trip to the park with a picnic lunch…sometimes it’s the most unexpected things that give people a healing and energetic boost…emotions matter and reduce stress chemicals/hormones.
Lastly (sorry 😂) when you look into the peptide injections for possible future use with the NAD, I think the three peptides I’ve nearly narrowed it down to are TB-500, which if memory serves correctly actually helps give the commands or gets the nutrients where they need to get to and where the injury is. Then there’s a good all rounder like BPC-157 and also GHK-CU which is apparently amazing for skin repair and healing. They’re not hugely expensive and Oxford Peptides and the needles etc are all available off Amazon believe it or not (I have them parked in my basket, Lol!).
As far as topical creams go, they can help to a degree, but it is a bit like having a huge damp patch on the walls in your home and thinking you can just paint over it…you have to fix it from within. Topical medicine is an aide but rarely a cure for systemic internal dysfunctions/diseases.
Anyways, I’ll leave you in peace now, I do tend to ramble on. God bless, Hugs 🤗💕👍🏻
Totally agree 👍
OK.. a question... I'm a t1 diabetic and been doing carnivore/zero carb for about 3 months and seen major improvements. However.... despite eating zero carbs, my BG is constantly rising and I'm using way too much insulin (over 50 units a day) to keep it in range. Any thoughts?
This video was mainly for type 2. For type 1, the key is to figure out how many cells are still capable of making the outputs. Because I don't have that info on you I can't give you a definitive answer I'm afraid
@@Dr_Abs Thank you. :) Would you be able to tell me how I can find this out? Is that the alpha cells you're talking about?
