Hello, pretty sorry I don't know your name, but I'm your all-time follower who has benefited from your contents. Can you please tell me the 76 to 24 ratio in terms of food. Thanks.
Great video. Terrible terrible title for this video. My first read based on the title.. was actually to avoid this video. I understand butter like many other good fats can be incredibly healthful. I understand you want to call out "trick" therapies or over simplified ways of looking at things, but this title does not convey the real message that your guest and I presume you wanted to convey. This video is really about how to achieve a healthy endocrine system and that is through a high fat diet, and one of a number of very very healthful fats is Tallow, Butter, Cocunut.. etc. etc. Like so many youtubers there is some desire to create sensationalized video titles. Please make your titles more informative less sensational.
Dr.Bright....i have a heart condition...thank you for giving me medically sound advice concerning cardio...I have atrial fibrillation.. and tachycardia...I had the tetralogy of fallot surgery at 7 yrs old in 1977....just really want to thank you .... I could go on and on about my hell life..and deaths...I knew That's why I gained weight...could write a book so I'm told ...but I've survived all that in my life....and now I'm on this beautiful carnival of carnivorian bliss and I'm melting like butter 😅...and I'm loosing a pound to two pounds a day... you're my blessing God Bless You Dr.
I'm four months in with the carnivore lifestyle. I've had episodes of afib over the last two years. It's been a learning curve on all fronts and I can relate. Mindfulness with prayers, affirmations, mindset, support etc, helps puts some of it in perspective.
I'm doing great since I added butter to my carnivore diet. Felt awful after three months of carnivore last year. Went back to it a month ago. Feeling so much better since adding butter in my coffee and steak. I've been way moire satiated. Not getting hungry, and am dropping weight. Adding more fat was a game changer for me.
@@LifeIsWonderful675 Lol. I've retooled my diet AGAIN. started eating some veggies (low oxylate type,) because my constipation and bowel issues were terrible with a carnivore diet. About a month ago I Gave up coffee and started eating Whole yogurt. All the inflammation in my feet went away and my knees are Waaaay better!. I eat fat with my meat and some butter with various vegetables, but I'm not eating an extra amount. I had a lot of problems with I think was oxylate dumping. At this point it's hard to tell what is helping me. Was it giving up coffee or adding yogurt? Hard to tell. I don't miss the Coffee. Guess it was just a 43 year habit. I don't think there is a one size fits all diet.
Lack of funds and being broke after working 50 hours a week doesn't help. Not knowing if you will have place to live. Those things keep cortisol high too.
AGREED! Carnivore is actually cheaper. And it sooooo much more simple. From groceries to cooking to what you need to prepare the food it is just so easy. And barely any waste or food spoiling in the fridge. Great interview ❤❤
@@lefantomernot what i've found. Overall ends up much spendier in a typical 1-4 person household. Meat is very expensive now, at least west coast is here in USA
I buy organic grass fed on-line. Delivered to my door. No driving to the grocery store. I cook on the gas grill. My cupboards and fridge are nearly empty; my freezer is well stocked.
@@18_rabbit it could depend on many things, such as if you go for grass fed food. My ground beef is about $5 per lb and roughly 3 dollars for 18 eggs. so lets say i go for 1lb ground beef and at least 6 eggs per day. Thats about 41 dollars a week for me. Hits my macros. any missing macros can be filled with things like sardines (dollar store), butter. how many people are in your household if you dont mind sharing?
With today's society trying to distort and even erase gender, it is oddly refreshing to hear these ladies talking about men and women in the impacts of gender with the carnivore diet. Yes I know strange comment for this video but it's nice to hear some common sense for once
I don't think anyone is trying to erase gender per se, I think society is just making room for people who don't directly identify with one gender, or who identify more with the other gender. This obviously isn't the majority of people so I don't see why it's a problem to make some space for unique individuals.
It just makes me wonder how much the gender dysphoria has to do with poisons in the environment and bad nutrition since it’s obviously a mental health and more directly, an endocrine nightmare out there given the degree of malnutrition at least two generations have suffered from.
@@jenniek8391 It's a problem that people are taught that gender and personality or preferences are the same. Gender is primarily another word for biological sex, not how one looks or feels. Boys and girls have always come with a variety of personalities and talents, and that is fine. It is a problem to try to shame and/or force all of society to change in a way that causes so much unnecessary confusion and discord for the sake of individuals who need less confusion and discord, themselves.
Great interview! Your questions were terrific, eliciting lots of helpful information. She is the best - my favorite person in this space. She knows what she's talking about. It's all about keeping the hormones happy!
I think this is my favorite interview on your channel so far! I always enjoy Dr Bright. She disagrees on a few topics from many of the other carnivore experts but her explanations make perfect sense.
Getting ready on Monday to being my new journey and my new life....viva la carnivore!!! Really learned a lot from Dr. Bright in this interview. Thank you for helping and educating!!
Thank you for interviewing Dr.Bright. She is always so knowledgeable, explains her information, and just makes total sense. And you are always a great interviewer too. You ask good questions and offer a overall well done presentation. Thank you.
This was hands down THE best interview I have seen in a very long time! Very clear and concise - cleared up so many questions for me - I am going to watch this video again and again!!!🌻 Thank you both for all you do!
I found this video so helpful and it actually gave succinct but detailed enough answers to questions about diet and health. I agree with many others, the title does not do this video justice and could lead to many people losing out on very useful help. I have learnt so much from Dr Bright in this video which I would have missed if I based my viewing on title alone. It was only because I'd seen another interview with her that I watched it.
Well what happens to your car if you running it 100 miles a day? It's not going to last long. Just a common sense. 2-3 miles walk is perfect for the health
I had increased my fat and was eating a stick of butter…but I lowered the protein level. I’m a woman over 50….I didn’t lose weight. But I didn’t gain weight…but my depression was better…which was better anyway being carnivore…but it got even better on the higher fat. After 3 months of maintaining weight with upping fat…I decided to lower fat and did more like 70/30. Weight loss activated rather quickly. I personally seem to have to be more mindful of calories…maybe my age…maybe my multiple autoimmune illnesses I deal with, than some people on carnivore. But increasing fat absolutely help me with healing…sleep was better, skin was better and depression was better! But I feel that I can do healing high fat for a month…& then 70/30 for a month or two for weight loss. I’ve been doing this, more on than off (holidays and social situations were difficult for me in the beginning) and I feel better and can do more than I did 10 yrs. ago! It’s an amazing lifestyle! 👍🏻❤️
@@barbaradearman5438 it’s much easier if you track everything you eat, that’s what I do at least. It’s hard to guesstimate ratios, especially if you’re eating a variety of meats!
@@barbaradearman5438 14:00 using 80/20 as 80% of calories come from fat. NOT consuming 80% fat. Very deceptive If you Google meat fat content, there are websites that show calorie percentage that come from meat fats. Nutritionix is one
@@joannatavoularis7458 So that’s what you would call “ketovore”…meat-based…with a few “keto” things thrown in like salad and/or nuts. I STARTED with keto…& then slowly realized that eating LOTS of vegetables made me feel worse and nuts held up my weight loss! On occasion I’ll eat some nuts here or there…but I don’t do it regularly!
When my daughter was a pre-teen and now teen, she has often craved or gone through phases of intensely eating certain foods like salmon with the skin, steak/beef with all the fat, butter, liver, etc. Thankfully, we already include those foods in our normal diet so she had full access to them when she wanted more.
Please help your daughter to stay on the right track like she is doing now!! I didn't have this info when I went through my teens.Became obesive and struggle for yrs, because of lack of knowledge.Good luck on her health journey!!
We are born and our first food is breast milk!!! And when we try vegetables we feel great discomfort, if we don't add seasonings there's no way we can eat them. When we eat meat our body accepts it very naturally.
Just as wonderful as the first interview you had with Dr. Bright was, this one is exceptional! I always learn something from her and from you, Rina. Thank you for this informative and fun interview. I love seeing Dr. Bright's smile and you always bring it out of her. I would love to hear more about her weight lifting protocol. I am 60 years old, and I do about 15-30 minutes of Pilates 5 days a week and love it. It energizes me and also puts me in tune with my body and how it's working.
Fat is so important, especially for young people. How absolutely EVIL that we have been lied to about fat for so long, and even today low and no fat foods are promoted. Thank you for this informative and engaging interview.
Anchovies are underrated and I'm glad she mentioned them. For me in the middle of the US it is easier to find anchovies packed in water than it is to find sardines.
I love learning more about this part of the carnivore diet! I added one stick of butter a day to start and immediately had drastic improvements in my menstrual cycles and mood. But because I was struggling to lose weight, I decided to try cutting down on that to a point where I was still getting the benefits, but I was able to start losing. I'm now doing maybe a max of half a stick of butter a day when I don't eat my beef fat trimmings. But butter is still a part of my diet every day! Thank you for continuing to bring these important conversations to light!
Amazing! I was struggling to keep my breastmilk supply up. I started ordering galactagogues to help. Basically brownies, drinks, supplements, etc. I had success with them and let them run out for over a month. I reordered as the problem seem to be resubmerging but before my order arrived I decided to go carnivore for other reasons. Out of nowhere I had this abundance of milk that has been consistent since. My supplements arrived and remain unopened. I'm SO excited. The stress I had which was certainly contributing is gone. 😊
@anamneses28 How very blessed 😊 I physically couldn't, no matter what I did. We even tried medications. Absolutely nothing worked. Some women just can't do it. To any women out there reading this who feels like a failure for not being able to feed your child, please know you aren't alone. (Also...look into alternatives besides (horrendous) formula.)
where do you get your beef fat trimmings? what type of trimming is it? (if that's not too specific).... Im trying to get trimmings and am really struggling
@@swinglow550 I don’t know either but maybe you could ask a meat guy or gal at your grocery store. Even Walmart has people work in the meat department. Good luck!
You may have missed the point-- she uses a cube of butter to a pound of burger to show an 80/20 ratio of fat to meat. She's not saying to eat a cube of butter a day.
Fabulous interview! Will be one year into my carnivore journey in a couple of days, I've been getting so confused with so much different info lately... Maybe I watch too much content! This interview has given me a great deal of understanding for continuing my healing and weight loss journey. Totally agree with being in tune with your body, I now know why I get (rarely anymore) irritable and can pin point it to something I most probably shouldn't have eaten the day before! 58 yr female, lost 3.5 stone in the first 4 months, no more brain fog, diabetes, IBS, migraines, stiff joints... ✊
🎯Right there w/you jroo~ which is why it's so helpful to hear from those who are actually putting into practice the science & data that forms their own experience. I think what helps me most when I'm feeling confused from taking in so much content is to remember that it's often experimental, & cannot all apply to me~yet the basics do, now that I understand how our systems function. Dr. Bright has gathered so much info over the years & has a way of keeping it simple & easy to implement~ which means I retain it, & that can be a challenge🤣Having that base of understanding also makes it easier to filter through the other content I'm taking in. 🌟Well done on so many health benefits btw~ not to mention 3.5 stone, wow! I'm also 58, eating this way almost 2 yrs, yet the scale would not budge until just recently. I have also learned I was undereating & over exercising until recently- & not by much, but it was enough to confuse my body, go figure. I've whined about the weight, but I've been so grateful for all the other benefits (energy/clarity/mood/etc) I can't imagine ever going back, even if I never lost a pound. So grateful for access to knowledge!
@RV-there-Yet I've done carnivore for almost a year and a half and haven't lost weight. I too have been undereating. What exactly are you doing to finally drop the weight?
@@cherylschumaker1366 I have hypothyroidism and Lipedema. The Lipedema makes it very difficult to lose weight. I do have many non scale victories but would love to lose 50 lbs.
This was one of the most enlightening interviews I think I’ve heard in a while. I was so glad to see Dr. Bright’s reaction to the sardines as well as hear her explanations. I can’t stomach them. Also, I was glad to hear her thoughts on fasting. I just don’t want to do it, I don’t feel good doing it, and it causes unnecessary stress- I need food, I obviously need to heal as well. Thank you Rina this was a wonderful Interview!
I don't know. The one constant pattern emerging in any kind of research, whether it concerns microbes, animals or plants, is that temporary stressors are extremely benefitial. Whether they come in the form of calorie restriction, temperature exposure or exercise, while chronic stessors are extremely detrimental, temporary ones seem to just be stimulative. We restrict water in order to encourage the development of a good root system in plants, current longevity research restricts calories to encourage efficient cell building in simpler organisms and the only working methods we have found to stave of mental and physical decline in aging is by working against it throughout our lives. We are also built by nature to be long distance runners. If someone is healing, it may very well be the best approach but the idea of avoiding any stress to our system at all seems to me, in light of not only research but the experience we carry from previous generations, to be a recipe for weakness. By all means heal that broken leg until it is fixed but if you refuse to use it while it is just uncomfortable, you won't be using it properly again.
Fasting becomes easier after some healing has happened + your body is used to a regular feeding schedule. In my experience, I was able to fast without issues after several months on heavy carnivore diet. With no dairy. Beef broth, ground beef, bacon, chicken thighs with skin + eggs were my staples. Felt tons better. Give it time + listen to your body.
I have some questions) did you use onion to cook ground beef? It is my third day and I gained 2 pounds, I drink water and it seems that it does not go away. I feel heavy in my stomach and a dull feeling in my gallbladder. Did you experience something similar to these kinds of feelings? How long does it take to adapt and start losing weight? I appreciate it.@@cinnamonparsley6384
I agree. We need stress, in smaller doses. That's how we grow. In early child development, which is my scope of practice, and in neuroscience, we recommend the 80/20 rule. Lots of repetition and practice (comfort zone), then stretch yourself 20% of the time. True for physical strength building, learning to ride a bike, piano, reading, talking, crawling ... 80/20 seems 'ideal.' But, first come into it from a healthy place ... children who are fighting leaky gut, nasal congestion, low tone muscles, poor sensory processing are NOT AVAILABLE TO LEARN, GROW OR DEVELOP ... they must heal first, then build on skills. God Bless@@jonnywaldis8275
With sardines I just buy the ones in water, drain the water then put them in a bowl with a quarter-stick of melted butter, mash em up just a bit and eat em with a spoon. They should soak up all the butter, but you can always drink any that's left over.
Nobel prize Wimmer on both sides calling the others idiots. When I looked into keto 5 years ago I noticed that. You have to try everything on yourself and f ind what works for you
Pretty simple. Species appropriate diet. How did we eat for millions of years. Everything that came after agriculture and particularly the modern food system is a corporate fiction marketing scam.
This was an awesome guest. The points made were exactly what I needed to hear! The questions were so good to get to helpful information. I needed to know how to heal! I did not realize there are helpful strategies during the healing phase!
Great interview, why? Because you did not interrupt your guest all of the time like some influencers do, and they were questions that we all want to know. Thank you
Great interview! I was getting discouraged. My husband sent this to me this morning. I'll implement things from the video and we'll see! Thanks for this!
Hello thank to both of you, it is very interesting but for berries the anti-nutrients can have various effects on the absorption of minerals and other nutrients, but they are usually present in small amounts. Oxalates - Found in berries like strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries, oxalates can bind to calcium and other minerals, reducing their absorption. Phytates (Phytic acid) - Present in small amounts in some berries, phytates can inhibit the absorption of minerals such as iron, zinc, and calcium. Tannins - Found in certain berries, tannins can interfere with the absorption of iron and other nutrients. Lectins - Though more common in legumes and grains, lectins can be present in some berries and can affect nutrient absorption and gut health. Saponins - While mostly found in legumes, saponins can also be present in some berries and can interfere with nutrient absorption. Have a nice day.
Brilliant interview ! Hats off to all of us who traversed adolescence on the SAD ! Also I watched a video on Farmed Salmon and will never eat it again.
Loved this! It gave Dr. Bright a chance to clarify her understanding clearly and @5minutebody you asked great clarifying/pointed questions. Thank you!!
A great interview. My version of the keto-carnivore is different in consumption of dairy products more than red meat. High-quality butter is like ice cream for me. I can eat 100 g at once. Also, OMAD is an easy-peasy way to go. Less time for cooking, better sleep, and less stress during the day. And cheaper too. I am 66, BTW.
Food dehydrator, artisan jerky gun and grass fed hamburger 80/20%. Recipes and instructions galore on UA-cam. I've been making my own for months way before even considering carnivore - it's a huge benefit for snacks, on the go, quick fix, AND -- you control the ingredients. Can't go wrong!!!!
I had a coworker whose doctor put her on keto, which is good, but he told her to drink a lot of water and did NOT mention increasing salt! She mentioned feeling terrible and I told her about consuming more salt, about Dr. Berry's recipe for ketorade (or whatever he called it). But she chose to drink chicken broth, and that worked for her. She said she guzzled it down lol. But when she said her doctor didn't tell her about increasing salt, I thought, "what?!" Anyway, glad I knew so I could help her.
Salt is the devil according to most docs. I told mine I have to salt my food because I dont eat processed foods already loaded in sodium and she still acoffed at the notion of salting food.
@@emh8861 that's very dangerous. People can die from drinking too much water and diluting electrolytes. We need electrolytes for our brains to function and sending signals to the heart to beat, etc.
@@StreetTruckinTitan most docs are hypocrites, as they consider essential nutrients (sodium) the devil, but write prescriptions for manmade drugs which are ALWAYS seen as poisons by the body and must be filtered by the liver. Even then, they cause numerous "side" effects.
I just wanted to say Thank you so much for this interview. I’m in Australia and I’ve had severe chronic fatigue for 14 yrs, CPTSD for 8 while healing trauma and unable to work, so I did all my healing trauma on my own. now that healing journey is over my poor body is a mess. I binge eat, and used to fast from self deprivation (not deserving nutrition) I’m sure I have major adrenal, thyroid issues +++ but I’m living below the poverty line on welfare and can never afford to see a decent doctor, nutritionist or even join your app. But all of these Q & A in this interview make so much sense and I’ve enjoyed all the videos I’ve seen so far. I’m pretty much sold on giving it a try. I couldn’t stick to Keto, I’ve tried raw vegan diet and have never been able to kick the cravings….. so I’m very grateful to you both 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I'm still not sure regarding iodine. I gather we need to take lugals 15% and take two drops under our tongue everyday?? Does anyone know if that is correct? I'm curious too as to where she lives in Italy such that she can go out to the ocean daily. I imagine in the winter it's too cold. Also she alludes to different parts of her life and what she was doing but I wish she could put it together as a HER STORY so we can see how she's evolved. It sounds to me like she was incredibly intense and very radical and over the top when she was young and she has made a 180 over time. I would be curious as to what it was really like on a year-to-year basis to live her life. . I say that also because when she says the extreme things she did, such as eating 500 Calories daily and running 10 miles a day etc, I can't relate to that because I'm a very moderate person. I always use my common sense . I never listened to the idioticies that we were being fed and so actually I haven't changed much since I was young. I would say-- not at all. In addition, I do not believe in 100% carnivore diet and yet I do find these things interesting and I'm going to increase the amount of meat in my diet. I'm not a good cook and so I usually can't make my meat taste very good but that's my fault. I do tend toward what they call a Mediterranean diet which is pretty much how I like to eat. I gather her adult kids and husband are all 100% carnivores. I would love to hear HER STORY from very young to now -- a middle-aged woman with grown children, living -- not in the States, let alone the South-- but rather in a beautiful part of Europe.
I LOVED her ❤ So knowledgeable, cool, calm, collected and balanced. No bull*** :) I learned a lot from her just now. Thanks for bringing her on! Subscribed. Oh, and I love your questions and style. You're an excellent interviewer.
Thank you These hormone menopause chats are good to hear Trying to build my adrenals after soo much chronic stress Also I can’t seem to get to sleep naturally anymore deeply Screen time is such an addiction 😢
This was an excellent video! I loved how Dr. Bright explained everything, and explained it so anyone can understand it. I really enjoyed this one! Great interview!
YES!!! Up until a little over 3 weeks ago, I've been consuming fresh spinach (a big handful) in my shakes every morning, snack on Almonds like there's no tomorrow, and drink black tea ( or green) leaving the tea-bag in the whole time. Come to find out, I was consuming the highest Oxalate foods on the menu for the past 4 years thinking I was doing myself a favor. I literally screwed my health over 😂. So it would be great if they cover this topic soon
@David-R. I was the same and I put 2 tablespoons of raw cacao powder, honey and oat milk in my "green" spinach loaded smoothie! Ate Tahini, black beans, chick peas every day. Thought the WFPB vegan diet was going to heal my Rheumatoid Arthritis and Interstitial Cystitis, but all it got me was sicker and sicker with lots of new strange symptoms developing, including itchy skin all over, terrible pain in my jaw/neck, vertigo. My forward-thinking doctor suggested I try carnivore. Although I was initially very dubious, I went carnivore SLOWLY, spent 2 months slowly introducing meat once a week, then 2 weeks carnivore plus a banana oat milk smoothie for 2 weeks then full carnivore 4 months ago. Oxalate dumping was intense on day 3, peeing what felt like shards of glass, then at 3, 6 and 12 weeks I developed the most irritating itchy scabby sores on my lower scalp that when I scratched them were filled with golden crystals but that seems to be it, all my former illnesses are now gone, I'm symptom free and finally off the biologic meds that were the only thing keeping me out of the wheelchair I'd been in when RA first hit me. And, I feel and look amazing!
@@lisawanderess if you ever have oxalate dumping symptoms again, Sally K Norton offers a lot of helpful info. She said dumping can take 10 years to get all the oxalates out, when you're trying (compared to people who are not trying, the oxalates will just stay there).
@@lisawanderess That's AWESOME!! Thanks for sharing your experience with me. You gave me a push to continue with the carnivore diet. about a week ago I needed a cake, a piece of bread, anything!!! I felt like either I get a strawberry short cake or hang myself 😂. So I had a little piece of bread that didn't effect my ketosis!! I'm holding on so far.
@@David-R. I haven’t purchased Sally Morton’s book yet, “Toxic Superfoods” but I have watched several interviews with her. Apparently in her book she gives specific examples of foods to add to help with the oxalate dumping.
...while as a christian & a creation-ist, i cringe everytime i hear someone elude to this delusion of "evolution" ...i do however agree with the "ancestral appropriate diet" & they way the body was divinely created to eat & process foods... thank u
Yes when they lived in the Garden they are plants because they were Spirit. When their eyes were opened and saw they were naked plus more human form so they were ashamed. They were sent out of the Garden because they knew sin, evil and God is Pure Spirit, Light and darkness cannot have fellowship with evil or darkness. Light repels darkness. God cannot be around darkness. Adam and Eve were now of this world and would start eating meat to sustain their body which is in human form now. We need iron from red meat for our blood which carries oxygen. This is to every cell in the body. We need the iron to live. There is life in the blood. The Bible says this.
Bro god is pure consciousness not some man in the sky waving a wand to spawn in humans, the way the world forms doesnt discredit the creation, we exist as thoughts in the all, the science of our solar systems formation and evolution on earth is the process of the idea forming in the all mind. Genesis doesnt actually say creation happened in “7 days” the translation of the word for day just means a period it could be any amount of time, so even if u still dont understand enough to realize the bible isnt literal, it would still have room for evolution in it, just because evolution implies man wasnt made out of straight up clay and formed by the hands of some diety in the sky doesnt mean its wrong, your interpretation of the bible is whats wrong
@@Vangela1 I’ve read that today’s bread and fruits are completely different than what was available back then. For one thing, it was flat bread back then, and it was made from a different type of grain. Maybe bread is what was more available in those times. It doesn’t necessarily make it the best choice, but I’ve wondered about this also!
Wow, I'm learning that fasting isn't the only way. So cool that the fat snack keeps cortisol down. I believe that's been my issue with carnivore. I kept thinking I had to go hours between meals to lose and heal.
Love this video, I just started my journey three weeks ago. I am diabetics about 10yrs now. My body now is adjusting, lower my medication and hopefully soon I’ll get off from the harmful medication.
Thank you. This is very good info. I had a thyroidectomy at 17 due to Grave's disease, and have struggled with my weight since. I had steroid induced type 2 diabetes, and lost lots of weight, and got off diabetes meds, BP meds & Omeprazole. I lost a lot on Atkins many years ago, but didn't stick to a keto diet. I was tired of meds, inflammation, and Drs. I did a carnivore reset for 3 months & got my cholesterol, A 1C, and triglycerides way down, but went back to keto with some dairy, and learned that dairy is extremely inflammatory for me, and that carnivore is best for me right now. I am glad you talked about iodine. I use the Lugol's solution, but did not realize how important that is. I realized too that I do best eating beef and lamb, & some fish. I have a lot of arthritis, and other inflammation, so this is helpful. I just had my A1C and it is at 5.3. I am sure it will be even lower on carnivore. The exercise tips are important too. I tend to overdue in that area then suffer for it. I do still have a lot of weight to lose, but this did encourage me to stay on a straight carnivore for healing. I am grateful to you both for this.
@48:42 "People can't avoid stress." Very true. The problem is, most people are stressed without them even knowing most of the time. Unless we're reminded to monitor our stress levels sometimes through the day, we're not aware of how stressed we are.
My dr was very stern with me over my stress levels (CRP and such) and *stressed me out* insisting I take up meditation. Finally she read down the report and found severe anemia and said "Ooh, never mind." When the body is out of whack, it's under constant stress.
@@merrymerry7583 "When the body is out of whack, it's under constant stress." How true. But the medical metrics for measuring vitals are different for each of us. Or, each of us require different metrics for measuring our vitals. This is an issue no good doctor should ever dispute. So? At what point in life can one honestly measure? What are the metrics appropriate for you? What your doctor is saying is, 'even though you feel fine and are optimally healthy mentally and physically, there's still stress in the system causing some sort of imbalance'? IOW, How do you tell an olympic competition skater when he/she is neck and neck with their opponent to reduce their stress levels'? Or a heavyweight boxer? Or a formula one driver? Stress runs through the system 24/7/365. We would be dead if we couldn't generate stress in certain amounts. That said, 'stress' and 'tension' are usually interchangable. I guess what I'm saying is, we're too dependent on medical technology to steer us toward optimum health for the most part. And that each of us need to take more responsibility for our own good health by staying out of the doctor's office and the hospital.
@@peterboytRaKs Re the hypothetical dr saying: "even though you feel fine and are optimally healthy mentally and physically, there's still stress in the system causing some sort of imbalance" - if someone feels fine and optimally healthy mentally and physically my hope is they ignore any dr telling them to stress over stress! I think most of us have stories of such ill health that we went to the dr out of desperation. My experience was that I suddenly got so weak I could no longer work out or even do housework that required much exertion, so I went to the dr thinking I had an infection. When she started in on the meditation angle I knew she was all wet. I went the medical route for anemia treatment and ended up debilitated (I'm sure that if I'd continued the protocol it would've outright killed me). Alternative practitioners pulled me back from the brink, but I spent 2 years unable to walk farther than the bathroom. Extreme adrenal fatigue, labeled Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Gradually I regained some semblance of health. I finally started carnivore 12w ago hoping to recover true vitality, and am having encouraging success. My experience has left me absolutely unwilling to trust the mainstream medical system for anything but broken bones. My own measure of how I'm doing is how I feel, how energetic I am. I hope we can all get back to that fundamental human freedom/responsibility.
Full-fat cream doesn't seem to be talked about. Is eating full-fat cream as good as eating butter? Thank you for this informative interview with Dr Bright.
I have no idea but since Dr Bright drinks decaffeinated coffee with butter I’ve started pouring in cream for good measure. It tastes so much nicer with cream in it.
I do watch a lot of keto/carnivore content but have never heard this spin on it. My wife has issues that just aren't being addressed by our current way of eating so this focus on adrenals is very interesting. Thank you.
I do not need to lose weight and doing one stick of butter a day. I loved it and no more constipation!! This has been life long but was getting stomachaches from dairy. Tried beef tallow & I love it but can’t get enough fat equals constipation again! Love the carnivore diet but it’s so challenging right now. Taking thyroid??
What an amazing interview! Thank you so much for all you are sharing, really helpful! ❤ I have to say, I just love that you don't interrupted her at all, like so many people do when they interview people here on UA-cam. It felt so relaxing to watch you talk 😊
I'm doing carnivore and am cyclist and my riding is important to me. I do big 5+ hour events and stuff. I've become aware of a lot of experts recommending not to do cardio like Dr Bright, but I'm not willing to give up my riding. I'd love to see more on the effects of cardio and how we can counter it.
@@infiniteepoch8 mostly I don't eat on the bike, but if it's a race I will grab a few jells for keeping my blood glucose from getting too low. It doesn't take much when you're a fat burner, and it's only at high intensity + longish durations (90 min to like 5 hr) that becomes necessary, as if short you don't need it and very long events are at lower intensity. I'll eat a big fatty meal (I do like 75/25) if I can eat like 2hr prior to start, but I often just fast. Then a nice big fatty meal after.
Dr Peter Atta talks about the latest studies showing not to do long endurance sports if you value your heart health, but instead doing shout bursts of high interest training that actually makes the heart healthier and stronger for the long term.
I suspect this is one of those optimizations that you can make for best progress at healing but I'm obviously getting into wonderful physical shape with the carnivore diet and the cycling. I never had any real heath problems, just excess fat before the diet change even with all the cycling with high carbs. I think I was pre diabetic and had a string of broken bones in minor wrecks so I do think I'm correcting underlining issues that just hadn't boiled over yet. I'm 40 6' and about 170lbs now, targeting a 6 pack and pretty close 😉.
Thank you so much for this interview. You ask the most pertinant questions... And I just love your shocked expressions to the answers! I really appreciate your content and breaking it down for us... For the carnivore newbie or the carnivore that needs steering. Thank you
What ratio of fat to protein for a 63 you female post menopausal? still 80;20? I don't need to lose anymore weight. I am enjoying listening to this I have listened a lot to Dr Ken Berry and Dr Anthony Chaffee, and they are great but big strong men who obviously work out a lot. I don't like exercise apart from walking but not religiously, I am trying to be healthy though
exelente informacion y lo mejor es que lo pude ver con subtitulos en espanol. Me gustaria que todos los influencers de esta alimentacion carnivora pensaran en la comunidad hispana.
I have the following symptoms: Insomnia, brain fog, can't focus, racing heart, tinnitus, extreme fatigue, which fluctuates throughout the day, anxiety, duzziness and 2 vertigo attacks, ending in ER. I rarely feel satiated after a meal. I am 64 yrs old but was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism in my early 30s. I took meds for a year and felt better. Doctors kept checking my thyroid function. All the tests are negative till now. I am really struggling. I am not on any meds except supplements: magnesium, omega 3, vit d3 +K2, B complex. Two days ago I started taking kelp. I tried to book an apt with Dr. Bright , she is fully booked till almost end of April 2025. I need some help...
You don't have to buy expensive electrolytes, though, unless you want, to as you can just salt your food more and buy individual supplements of magnesium and potassium, much cheaper.😊
Yes but do your homework on magnesium because the types make a big difference and most carnivore specialists (especially the MDs o er the coaches warrant taking yoo many supplements when you are aiming for healing on your carnivore journey because it can cause a stall more than helping.
@@karenhampton1111 i definitely agree. I use that 1-2 times per week, and only if I’m sweating a lot from gardening. I don’t supplement much and I eat carnivore “conservatively” - bc I do intermittent fasting. Basically OMAD and maybe another carnivore “snack” before I fast again. I’m adjusting well to that.
I definitely burnt myself out with cardio - was using a calorie counter in my heart rate monitor and couldn’t leave the gym until I had burned 1,500 cals… if I didn’t meet that number it rolled over to the next day. A few times, I spent 6hrs in multiple spin classes to achieve whatever I needed to meet the week’s requirements. And that’s how you screw up your body! Injuries, tears, massive weight gain despite excessive working out, thyroid destroyed. That was 15yrs ago now, still have issues but feel well enough to get back to weight lifting and though i still like spin, am sticking strictly to 15min sessions only a couple times a week. Thank you!
@1588chrissy same here I worked out excessively. So, If you still struggle with weight, try leaving the cardio alone all together and just go walking. I as well as many other women have spoke about their bodies were sensitive to any workouts and just needed to rest (it goes into flight or fight mode very easy and goes into hunger mode very easy) So when I stopped cardio all together, went for walks and performed light yoga and pilates my weight improved (with the elimination of dairy and I would have 1/ 2 cup of black coffee with butter only sometimes. Now I did start including intermittent fasting but not until I naturally became satisfied with 2mad or OMAD (I didnt force it if I was still hungry then I felt I still needed to heal) once I started fasting, I made sure I ate enough during my feeding window and my weight started dropping off. But before that it had other priorities and that was to heal first. I know Dr. Bright speak against women fasting especially that has hormonal imbalances but there are some doctors that are advocates for IF as long as you are eating healthy and they feel it actually aid in hormornal imbalance. So I just make sure on my days that I am fasting (36 to 48hrs), I have pieces of frozen butter throughput the day. I slowly increased my fasting window. I feel fantastic.
The way she spoke about ghee may have caused some unintentional confusion. When made properly - Ghee will have no proteins in it. Also, if made properly, no water/moisture. The advantage of well made ghee is that it can sit at room temperature for many years and never go rancid.
I had ghee for the first time at a very nice restaurant and I was stuck in the bathroom for 45 minutes. Worst stomach cramps and everything else. Scared of Ghee now
@@minagelina Ghee has been used for health treatments with very high good results for thousands of years. Generally for diet is usually eaten with food, not alone. When eaten alone - it's used as part of a therapeutic process. And one can have a strong reaction to it if not familiar. It is also followed by processes to remove the ghee from your system after it accomplishes it's purpose.
The bit on Lugol's iodine is absolutely brilliant! I must take issue with her position on pasteurized milk. In the USA, conventional pasteurized milk is also homogenized and in the process of manufacture the milk fat is separated, dessicated under high heat (denatured) and then re-incorporated into the slurry to produce a product that is 99.9% consistent. This results in a thorough and fundamentl alteration of the proteins in that milkfat. And, this is what provokes an allergic/inflammatory response in so many people who are not technically lactose intollerant. Then there is the issue of "ultra-pasteurization" which is quite frankly an abomination, IMHO. Her comments on ground beef are eye opening. I strongly prefer chuck roast and steak as my goto cut of beef. It is fatty, flavorful, and generally inexpensive. I must take issue with her position on wild salmon. Wild salmon and farmed salmon are completely different products. The latter is NOT a food product. It is an abomination. The former is a nearly perfect food for any carnivorous mammal that emerged from the pre-historic sea. The perfect food, IMO, is wild Alaska King Salmon. It is the fattiest variety of salmon. This is the food of kings, IMHO. I understand the lack of availability of bacon in Italy. But, surely she has heard of guanchale. And, just what do Italian pig farmers do with their pork bellies? As any Phillipino can attest to, pork bellies roasted are magical.

Four teaspoons Of butter and I started out I did 8 tsp but I only need 4 tsp if I'm stressed can't sleep then I do butter. Only then
I mean I will 4 tsp usually and then if I'm stressed I will up it. I started out with eight teaspoons a butter but I only up the better when i'm stressed like I doctor bright said
Wish she had told how much iodine for adults and children.....
Hello, pretty sorry I don't know your name, but I'm your all-time follower who has benefited from your contents. Can you please tell me the 76 to 24 ratio in terms of food. Thanks.
What time are the classes and what days? In which time zone? I am central in Chicago. Thank you. :)
Great video. Terrible terrible title for this video. My first read based on the title.. was actually to avoid this video. I understand butter like many other good fats can be incredibly healthful. I understand you want to call out "trick" therapies or over simplified ways of looking at things, but this title does not convey the real message that your guest and I presume you wanted to convey. This video is really about how to achieve a healthy endocrine system and that is through a high fat diet, and one of a number of very very healthful fats is Tallow, Butter, Cocunut.. etc. etc. Like so many youtubers there is some desire to create sensationalized video titles. Please make your titles more informative less sensational.
I agree and almost didn’t click on it to watch it.
And yet m I clicked on it for exactly the title name .. I’m looking for alternatives to butter
She’s a nutty host
totally agree with the non informative title. put me off watching for a while 😮
Agree
This has quickly become my favourite Dr. Bright interview. Rapidfire question and answer for new and experienced carnivores. Love it.
🎯🎯🎯💯
Straight to the point ! ❤🎉
Even better if you increase playback speed.
Agreed, she's amazing
Dr.Bright....i have a heart condition...thank you for giving me medically sound advice concerning cardio...I have atrial fibrillation.. and tachycardia...I had the tetralogy of fallot surgery at 7 yrs old in 1977....just really want to thank you .... I could go on and on about my hell life..and deaths...I knew That's why I gained weight...could write a book so I'm told ...but I've survived all that in my life....and now I'm on this beautiful carnival of carnivorian bliss and I'm melting like butter 😅...and I'm loosing a pound to two pounds a day... you're my blessing God Bless You Dr.
See Dr berg, DR Suneel Dhand.
God bless you❤
How are you doing it?
I'm four months in with the carnivore lifestyle. I've had episodes of afib over the last two years. It's been a learning curve on all fronts and I can relate. Mindfulness with prayers, affirmations, mindset, support etc, helps puts some of it in perspective.
I also have tachycardia (SVT). Does following carnivore stop, or minimize the amount of times you go into AFib or tachycardia?
I'm doing great since I added butter to my carnivore diet. Felt awful after three months of carnivore last year. Went back to it a month ago. Feeling so much better since adding butter in my coffee and steak. I've been way moire satiated. Not getting hungry, and am dropping weight. Adding more fat was a game changer for me.
exactly
Me too. Butter really helped me.
How much butter do you eat a day? I have started Carnivore & am eating a lot of meat fat
@@LifeIsWonderful675 Lol. I've retooled my diet AGAIN. started eating some veggies (low oxylate type,) because my constipation and bowel issues were terrible with a carnivore diet. About a month ago I Gave up coffee and started eating Whole yogurt. All the inflammation in my feet went away and my knees are Waaaay better!. I eat fat with my meat and some butter with various vegetables, but I'm not eating an extra amount. I had a lot of problems with I think was oxylate dumping. At this point it's hard to tell what is helping me. Was it giving up coffee or adding yogurt? Hard to tell. I don't miss the Coffee. Guess it was just a 43 year habit. I don't think there is a one size fits all diet.
butter is fantastic in coffee!
Electrolites: Celtic grey salt, Magnesium Glycinate and Avocado (Potassium)
Grounding , walking bare foot just for 15 mins is amazing for cortisol levels and adrenals and healing the whole body! Alongside carnivore!
Wondering if you've used a grounding mat? Considering one for the times I can't be barefoot, outside. Living in CT limits my year round opportunity,.
I sleep on a grounding bed sheet.
I think you are right about that.
R U walking thru a trash heap at a landfill??
Oh yeah get connected !!!
Lack of funds and being broke after working 50 hours a week doesn't help. Not knowing if you will have place to live. Those things keep cortisol high too.

I started carnivore eating yesterday, and am excited. Thank you for your help.
I was so impressed by the preparation for this interview! You covered so many important things here. Thank you!
She's better than 99% of interviewers in US TV news!
AGREED! Carnivore is actually cheaper. And it sooooo much more simple. From groceries to cooking to what you need to prepare the food it is just so easy. And barely any waste or food spoiling in the fridge. Great interview ❤❤
Yes, so much easier to shop, saves time also especially if doing g OMAD.
👍
@@robertwood9984 We're not buying all that other junk, so of course it's not more expensive.
@@lefantomernot what i've found. Overall ends up much spendier in a typical 1-4 person household. Meat is very expensive now, at least west coast is here in USA
I buy organic grass fed on-line. Delivered to my door. No driving to the grocery store. I cook on the gas grill. My cupboards and fridge are nearly empty; my freezer is well stocked.
@@18_rabbit it could depend on many things, such as if you go for grass fed food. My ground beef is about $5 per lb and roughly 3 dollars for 18 eggs. so lets say i go for 1lb ground beef and at least 6 eggs per day. Thats about 41 dollars a week for me. Hits my macros. any missing macros can be filled with things like sardines (dollar store), butter. how many people are in your household if you dont mind sharing?
She is one smart lady! Nautropaths are often much better educated and in tune with the hormone requirements for women.
Dr. Bright is so knowledgeable and straight to the point, no BS. Love her and can’t wait to read her books!❤
With today's society trying to distort and even erase gender, it is oddly refreshing to hear these ladies talking about men and women in the impacts of gender with the carnivore diet. Yes I know strange comment for this video but it's nice to hear some common sense for once
@@Shawn, amen!! People have gone mad today.
Amen . As a teacher they often tell me to nowadays not to
say “ good girl “ or “ good boy “
I do it more now !!! 😂😂
I don't think anyone is trying to erase gender per se, I think society is just making room for people who don't directly identify with one gender, or who identify more with the other gender. This obviously isn't the majority of people so I don't see why it's a problem to make some space for unique individuals.
It just makes me wonder how much the gender dysphoria has to do with poisons in the environment and bad nutrition since it’s obviously a mental health and more directly, an endocrine nightmare out there given the degree of malnutrition at least two generations have suffered from.
@@jenniek8391 It's a problem that people are taught that gender and personality or preferences are the same. Gender is primarily another word for biological sex, not how one looks or feels. Boys and girls have always come with a variety of personalities and talents, and that is fine. It is a problem to try to shame and/or force all of society to change in a way that causes so much unnecessary confusion and discord for the sake of individuals who need less confusion and discord, themselves.
Great interview! Your questions were terrific, eliciting lots of helpful information. She is the best - my favorite person in this space. She knows what she's talking about. It's all about keeping the hormones happy!
I LOVE that you FIRST suggested salted meals or water for electrolytes before presenting LMNT product. Shows you care about your community. Respect.

Bearnaise sauce on everything! yolk and butter sauce is perfect!
I often feel I don't learn anything new from these type of videos - but this one was packed with new and very useful information! Thank you!
Dr. Bright is so no-nonsense. I love that! I think I have gotten too hung up on IF, OMAD, etc and done myself a disservice.
I think this is my favorite interview on your channel so far! I always enjoy Dr Bright. She disagrees on a few topics from many of the other carnivore experts but her explanations make perfect sense.
yeah I respect that a lot as well. I like confident opinionated experts
Getting ready on Monday to being my new journey and my new life....viva la carnivore!!! Really learned a lot from Dr. Bright in this interview. Thank you for helping and educating!!
Love love love Dr. Bright! I always re-watch her vids. Thank you for having her on.
Dr Bright is one of my favorites. I love her attitude.
Thank you for interviewing Dr.Bright. She is always so knowledgeable, explains her information, and just makes total sense. And you are always a great interviewer too. You ask good questions and offer a overall well done presentation. Thank you.
This was hands down THE best interview I have seen in a very long time! Very clear and concise - cleared up so many questions for me - I am going to watch this video again and again!!!🌻 Thank you both for all you do!
I found this video so helpful and it actually gave succinct but detailed enough answers to questions about diet and health. I agree with many others, the title does not do this video justice and could lead to many people losing out on very useful help. I have learnt so much from Dr Bright in this video which I would have missed if I based my viewing on title alone. It was only because I'd seen another interview with her that I watched it.
Yup. I was a 10 mile a day runner drowning in cortisol. I’ve never heard someone else say that. But boy do I get it.
I too was a long distance runner. What makes you say as a daily 10 miler you were drowning in cortisol?
Well what happens to your car if you running it 100 miles a day? It's not going to last long. Just a common sense. 2-3 miles walk is perfect for the health
I had increased my fat and was eating a stick of butter…but I lowered the protein level. I’m a woman over 50….I didn’t lose weight. But I didn’t gain weight…but my depression was better…which was better anyway being carnivore…but it got even better on the higher fat. After 3 months of maintaining weight with upping fat…I decided to lower fat and did more like 70/30. Weight loss activated rather quickly. I personally seem to have to be more mindful of calories…maybe my age…maybe my multiple autoimmune illnesses I deal with, than some people on carnivore. But increasing fat absolutely help me with healing…sleep was better, skin was better and depression was better! But I feel that I can do healing high fat for a month…& then 70/30 for a month or two for weight loss. I’ve been doing this, more on than off (holidays and social situations were difficult for me in the beginning) and I feel better and can do more than I did 10 yrs. ago! It’s an amazing lifestyle! 👍🏻❤️
How does one know how to do a 80/20 or 70/30 fat/protein plan - how does one know they have the correct meat to meet these ratios?
@@barbaradearman5438 it’s much easier if you track everything you eat, that’s what I do at least. It’s hard to guesstimate ratios, especially if you’re eating a variety of meats!
@@barbaradearman5438
14:00 using 80/20 as 80% of calories come from fat. NOT consuming 80% fat. Very deceptive
If you Google meat fat content, there are websites that show calorie percentage that come from meat fats.
Nutritionix is one
Can we eat any salad at all? What about nuts?
@@joannatavoularis7458 So that’s what you would call “ketovore”…meat-based…with a few “keto” things thrown in like salad and/or nuts. I STARTED with keto…& then slowly realized that eating LOTS of vegetables made me feel worse and nuts held up my weight loss! On occasion I’ll eat some nuts here or there…but I don’t do it regularly!
When my daughter was a pre-teen and now teen, she has often craved or gone through phases of intensely eating certain foods like salmon with the skin, steak/beef with all the fat, butter, liver, etc. Thankfully, we already include those foods in our normal diet so she had full access to them when she wanted more.
Please help your daughter to stay on the right track like she is doing now!! I didn't have this info when I went through my teens.Became obesive and struggle for yrs, because of lack of knowledge.Good luck on her health journey!!
We are born and our first food is breast milk!!!
And when we try vegetables we feel great discomfort, if we don't add seasonings there's no way we can eat them.
When we eat meat our body accepts it very naturally.
Just as wonderful as the first interview you had with Dr. Bright was, this one is exceptional! I always learn something from her and from you, Rina. Thank you for this informative and fun interview. I love seeing Dr. Bright's smile and you always bring it out of her. I would love to hear more about her weight lifting protocol. I am 60 years old, and I do about 15-30 minutes of Pilates 5 days a week and love it. It energizes me and also puts me in tune with my body and how it's working.
Fat is so important, especially for young people. How absolutely EVIL that we have been lied to about fat for so long, and even today low and no fat foods are promoted.
Thank you for this informative and engaging interview.
Dr. Bright is the best. Best Information and non-annoying voice. Thanks.
Anchovies are underrated and I'm glad she mentioned them. For me in the middle of the US it is easier to find anchovies packed in water than it is to find sardines.
Sardines should be where the canned tuna and Salmon are in good grocery stores!
Best interview with Dr Bright yet!! You even got her to smile/ laugh. Loved it, love her! Thank you both!
I love learning more about this part of the carnivore diet! I added one stick of butter a day to start and immediately had drastic improvements in my menstrual cycles and mood. But because I was struggling to lose weight, I decided to try cutting down on that to a point where I was still getting the benefits, but I was able to start losing. I'm now doing maybe a max of half a stick of butter a day when I don't eat my beef fat trimmings. But butter is still a part of my diet every day! Thank you for continuing to bring these important conversations to light!
Amazing! I was struggling to keep my breastmilk supply up. I started ordering galactagogues to help. Basically brownies, drinks, supplements, etc. I had success with them and let them run out for over a month. I reordered as the problem seem to be resubmerging but before my order arrived I decided to go carnivore for other reasons. Out of nowhere I had this abundance of milk that has been consistent since. My supplements arrived and remain unopened. I'm SO excited. The stress I had which was certainly contributing is gone. 😊
@anamneses28 How very blessed 😊 I physically couldn't, no matter what I did. We even tried medications. Absolutely nothing worked. Some women just can't do it.
To any women out there reading this who feels like a failure for not being able to feed your child, please know you aren't alone. (Also...look into alternatives besides (horrendous) formula.)
where do you get your beef fat trimmings? what type of trimming is it? (if that's not too specific).... Im trying to get trimmings and am really struggling
@@swinglow550 I don’t know either but maybe you could ask a meat guy or gal at your grocery store. Even Walmart has people work in the meat department. Good luck!
You may have missed the point-- she uses a cube of butter to a pound of burger to show an 80/20 ratio of fat to meat. She's not saying to eat a cube of butter a day.
You are a great interviewer. Organized. You are in control of your show. I don’t feel as if I’m wasting my time. Thank you.
Wow! This was the best Dr. Bright interview I have heard! Thank you both for doing this and well done!
Ive spent two years studying this and learning how to heal and this was one of the best most informative sensible interviews ive heard xx
Fabulous interview! Will be one year into my carnivore journey in a couple of days, I've been getting so confused with so much different info lately... Maybe I watch too much content! This interview has given me a great deal of understanding for continuing my healing and weight loss journey. Totally agree with being in tune with your body, I now know why I get (rarely anymore) irritable and can pin point it to something I most probably shouldn't have eaten the day before! 58 yr female, lost 3.5 stone in the first 4 months, no more brain fog, diabetes, IBS, migraines, stiff joints... ✊
🎯Right there w/you jroo~ which is why it's so helpful to hear from those who are actually putting into practice the science & data that forms their own experience.
I think what helps me most when I'm feeling confused from taking in so much content is to remember that it's often experimental, & cannot all apply to me~yet the basics do, now that I understand how our systems function. Dr. Bright has gathered so much info over the years & has a way of keeping it simple & easy to implement~ which means I retain it, & that can be a challenge🤣Having that base of understanding also makes it easier to filter through the other content I'm taking in.
🌟Well done on so many health benefits btw~ not to mention 3.5 stone, wow! I'm also 58, eating this way almost 2 yrs, yet the scale would not budge until just recently. I have also learned I was undereating & over exercising until recently- & not by much, but it was enough to confuse my body, go figure. I've whined about the weight, but I've been so grateful for all the other benefits (energy/clarity/mood/etc) I can't imagine ever going back, even if I never lost a pound. So grateful for access to knowledge!
Congratulations!!! Ima finishing my first year as well!!! All good news.
@RV-there-Yet I've done carnivore for almost a year and a half and haven't lost weight. I too have been undereating. What exactly are you doing to finally drop the weight?
@@MEF7you have gone a year andhaf ad haven't lost weight ...You need to look into why? Unless you don't need to lose ??

This was one of the most enlightening interviews I think I’ve heard in a while. I was so glad to see Dr. Bright’s reaction to the sardines as well as hear her explanations. I can’t stomach them. Also, I was glad to hear her thoughts on fasting. I just don’t want to do it, I don’t feel good doing it, and it causes unnecessary stress- I need food, I obviously need to heal as well. Thank you Rina this was a wonderful Interview!

I don't know.
The one constant pattern emerging in any kind of research, whether it concerns microbes, animals or plants, is that temporary stressors are extremely benefitial.
Whether they come in the form of calorie restriction, temperature exposure or exercise, while chronic stessors are extremely detrimental, temporary ones seem to just be stimulative.
We restrict water in order to encourage the development of a good root system in plants, current longevity research restricts calories to encourage efficient cell building in simpler organisms and the only working methods we have found to stave of mental and physical decline in aging is by working against it throughout our lives. We are also built by nature to be long distance runners.
If someone is healing, it may very well be the best approach but the idea of avoiding any stress to our system at all seems to me, in light of not only research but the experience we carry from previous generations, to be a recipe for weakness.
By all means heal that broken leg until it is fixed but if you refuse to use it while it is just uncomfortable, you won't be using it properly again.
Fasting becomes easier after some healing has happened + your body is used to a regular feeding schedule. In my experience, I was able to fast without issues after several months on heavy carnivore diet. With no dairy. Beef broth, ground beef, bacon, chicken thighs with skin + eggs were my staples. Felt tons better. Give it time + listen to your body.
I have some questions) did you use onion to cook ground beef? It is my third day and I gained 2 pounds, I drink water and it seems that it does not go away. I feel heavy in my stomach and a dull feeling in my gallbladder. Did you experience something similar to these kinds of feelings? How long does it take to adapt and start losing weight? I appreciate it.@@cinnamonparsley6384
I agree. We need stress, in smaller doses. That's how we grow. In early child development, which is my scope of practice, and in neuroscience, we recommend the 80/20 rule. Lots of repetition and practice (comfort zone), then stretch yourself 20% of the time. True for physical strength building, learning to ride a bike, piano, reading, talking, crawling ... 80/20 seems 'ideal.' But, first come into it from a healthy place ... children who are fighting leaky gut, nasal congestion, low tone muscles, poor sensory processing are NOT AVAILABLE TO LEARN, GROW OR DEVELOP ... they must heal first, then build on skills. God Bless@@jonnywaldis8275
With sardines I just buy the ones in water, drain the water then put them in a bowl with a quarter-stick of melted butter, mash em up just a bit and eat em with a spoon. They should soak up all the butter, but you can always drink any that's left over.
You know, Every diet has 19,000 different experts that don't agree. Boy eating sure is hard now.
Cannibalism is never easy.
I have a panic attack every time I even think about going to prepare a meal... Best diet ever!
Nobel prize Wimmer on both sides calling the others idiots. When I looked into keto 5 years ago I noticed that. You have to try everything on yourself and f ind what works for you
Just pick one. Do a 90-day. Look at the results. It’s always about where you are v where you began the journey.
Pretty simple. Species appropriate diet. How did we eat for millions of years. Everything that came after agriculture and particularly the modern food system is a corporate fiction marketing scam.
I loved this interview. Dr. Bright is just an amazing guest and I enjoy every interview with her because she just has so much knowledge to share.
This was an awesome guest. The points made were exactly what I needed to hear! The questions were so good to get to helpful information. I needed to know how to heal! I did not realize there are helpful strategies during the healing phase!
Dr. Bright is always interesting & informative. Thank you for having her on!😊
23/3/23-23/3/24…. My first year anniversary doing the carnivore lifestyle today🎉🎉🎉
Such pleasant, informative presentation. Both of you so cool, calm, collected and obviously happily enjoying your work. Super!
I would love you to do a video explaining the different ratios & what they mean. Im totally confused about how to figure it out. 😀
Same 😉
Great interview, why? Because you did not interrupt your guest all of the time like some influencers do, and they were questions that we all want to know. Thank you
Great interview! I was getting discouraged. My husband sent this to me this morning. I'll implement things from the video and we'll see! Thanks for this!
Hello thank to both of you, it is very interesting but for berries the anti-nutrients can have various effects on the absorption of minerals and other nutrients, but they are usually present in small amounts.
Oxalates - Found in berries like strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries, oxalates can bind to calcium and other minerals, reducing their absorption.
Phytates (Phytic acid) - Present in small amounts in some berries, phytates can inhibit the absorption of minerals such as iron, zinc, and calcium.
Tannins - Found in certain berries, tannins can interfere with the absorption of iron and other nutrients.
Lectins - Though more common in legumes and grains, lectins can be present in some berries and can affect nutrient absorption and gut health.
Saponins - While mostly found in legumes, saponins can also be present in some berries and can interfere with nutrient absorption.
Have a nice day.
Brilliant interview ! Hats off to all of us who traversed adolescence on the SAD ! Also I watched a video on Farmed Salmon and will never eat it again.
Loved this! It gave Dr. Bright a chance to clarify her understanding clearly and @5minutebody you asked great clarifying/pointed questions. Thank you!!
@5MinuteBody thank you - fascinating interview! 👏🏻 was there a reason why eggs 🍳 🥚 were not included in the list of foods?
Excellent interview, so happy to hear Dr. Bright's thoughts on this subject!
Wow I love listening to Dr. Bright and this young lady really knows how to ask the right questions.
A great interview. My version of the keto-carnivore is different in consumption of dairy products more than red meat. High-quality butter is like ice cream for me. I can eat 100 g at once. Also, OMAD is an easy-peasy way to go. Less time for cooking, better sleep, and less stress during the day. And cheaper too. I am 66, BTW.
Rina.... another homerun. You do the best interviews. Thank you again!!!!
We need Dr. Brights recipe for her “meat bars” 😊❤
Become a client and you will get the recipe 🎉
@@laureemoretto212 what ??? 😏
Food dehydrator, artisan jerky gun and grass fed hamburger 80/20%. Recipes and instructions galore on UA-cam. I've been making my own for months way before even considering carnivore - it's a huge benefit for snacks, on the go, quick fix, AND -- you control the ingredients. Can't go wrong!!!!
ive gotyour meat bar right here buddy!
@@laureemoretto212how do I become a client
I had a coworker whose doctor put her on keto, which is good, but he told her to drink a lot of water and did NOT mention increasing salt! She mentioned feeling terrible and I told her about consuming more salt, about Dr. Berry's recipe for ketorade (or whatever he called it). But she chose to drink chicken broth, and that worked for her. She said she guzzled it down lol. But when she said her doctor didn't tell her about increasing salt, I thought, "what?!" Anyway, glad I knew so I could help her.
My coworker said her Doc also said drink lots of water. No mention of electrolytes. 🙄
Salt is the devil according to most docs. I told mine I have to salt my food because I dont eat processed foods already loaded in sodium and she still acoffed at the notion of salting food.
@@emh8861 that's very dangerous. People can die from drinking too much water and diluting electrolytes. We need electrolytes for our brains to function and sending signals to the heart to beat, etc.
@@StreetTruckinTitan most docs are hypocrites, as they consider essential nutrients (sodium) the devil, but write prescriptions for manmade drugs which are ALWAYS seen as poisons by the body and must be filtered by the liver. Even then, they cause numerous "side" effects.
Can I drink beef tallow on carnivore?
I can't eat the fats. So I make a tallow and drink like 300 ml every day. Is that okay?
I just wanted to say Thank you so much for this interview.
I’m in Australia and I’ve had severe chronic fatigue for 14 yrs, CPTSD for 8 while healing trauma and unable to work, so I did all my healing trauma on my own. now that healing journey is over my poor body is a mess. I binge eat, and used to fast from self deprivation (not deserving nutrition) I’m sure I have major adrenal, thyroid issues +++ but I’m living below the poverty line on welfare and can never afford to see a decent doctor, nutritionist or even join your app.
But all of these Q & A in this interview make so much sense and I’ve enjoyed all the videos I’ve seen so far. I’m pretty much sold on giving it a try.
I couldn’t stick to Keto, I’ve tried raw vegan diet and have never been able to kick the cravings….. so I’m very grateful to you both 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Stay with it... M👍
I'm still not sure regarding iodine. I gather we need to take lugals 15% and take two drops under our tongue everyday?? Does anyone know if that is correct?
I'm curious too as to where she lives in Italy such that she can go out to the ocean daily. I imagine in the winter it's too cold. Also she alludes to different parts of her life and what she was doing but I wish she could put it together as a HER STORY so we can see how she's evolved. It sounds to me like she was incredibly intense and very radical and over the top when she was young and she has made a 180 over time. I would be curious as to what it was really like on a year-to-year basis to live her life. .
I say that also because when she says the extreme things she did, such as eating 500 Calories daily and running 10 miles a day etc, I can't relate to that because I'm a very moderate person. I always use my common sense . I never listened to the idioticies that we were being fed and so actually I haven't changed much since I was young. I would say-- not at all.
In addition, I do not believe in 100% carnivore diet and yet I do find these things interesting and I'm going to increase the amount of meat in my diet. I'm not a good cook and so I usually can't make my meat taste very good but that's my fault. I do tend toward what they call a Mediterranean diet which is pretty much how I like to eat. I gather her adult kids and husband are all 100% carnivores. I would love to hear HER STORY from very young to now -- a middle-aged woman with grown children, living -- not in the States, let alone the South-- but rather in a beautiful part of Europe.
One of the best interviews on carnivore I have ever seen! Joining your July challenge now, thank you🙏🏼
I LOVED her ❤ So knowledgeable, cool, calm, collected and balanced. No bull*** :) I learned a lot from her just now. Thanks for bringing her on!

Oh, and I love your questions and style. You're an excellent interviewer.
Love Dr. Bright! She’s helped me cure my LIFE LONG migraines ❤
Please What kind of migraines did you have? What stopped the migraines?
I love the idea of soothing music at bedtime and then being able to switch to parasympathetic state during the day 😊
Thank you
These hormone menopause chats are good to hear
Trying to build my adrenals after soo much chronic stress
Also I can’t seem to get to sleep naturally anymore deeply
Screen time is such an addiction 😢
This was an excellent video! I loved how Dr. Bright explained everything, and explained it so anyone can understand it. I really enjoyed this one! Great interview!
I would love to hear Dr. Bright’s thoughts on oxalate dumping and which symptoms she’s seen associated with it!
YES!!! Up until a little over 3 weeks ago, I've been consuming fresh spinach (a big handful) in my shakes every morning, snack on Almonds like there's no tomorrow, and drink black tea ( or green) leaving the tea-bag in the whole time. Come to find out, I was consuming the highest Oxalate foods on the menu for the past 4 years thinking I was doing myself a favor. I literally screwed my health over 😂. So it would be great if they cover this topic soon
@David-R. I was the same and I put 2 tablespoons of raw cacao powder, honey and oat milk in my "green" spinach loaded smoothie! Ate Tahini, black beans, chick peas every day. Thought the WFPB vegan diet was going to heal my Rheumatoid Arthritis and Interstitial Cystitis, but all it got me was sicker and sicker with lots of new strange symptoms developing, including itchy skin all over, terrible pain in my jaw/neck, vertigo. My forward-thinking doctor suggested I try carnivore. Although I was initially very dubious, I went carnivore SLOWLY, spent 2 months slowly introducing meat once a week, then 2 weeks carnivore plus a banana oat milk smoothie for 2 weeks then full carnivore 4 months ago. Oxalate dumping was intense on day 3, peeing what felt like shards of glass, then at 3, 6 and 12 weeks I developed the most irritating itchy scabby sores on my lower scalp that when I scratched them were filled with golden crystals but that seems to be it, all my former illnesses are now gone, I'm symptom free and finally off the biologic meds that were the only thing keeping me out of the wheelchair I'd been in when RA first hit me. And, I feel and look amazing!
@@lisawanderess if you ever have oxalate dumping symptoms again, Sally K Norton offers a lot of helpful info. She said dumping can take 10 years to get all the oxalates out, when you're trying (compared to people who are not trying, the oxalates will just stay there).
@@lisawanderess That's AWESOME!! Thanks for sharing your experience with me. You gave me a push to continue with the carnivore diet. about a week ago I needed a cake, a piece of bread, anything!!! I felt like either I get a strawberry short cake or hang myself 😂. So I had a little piece of bread that didn't effect my ketosis!! I'm holding on so far.
@@David-R. I haven’t purchased Sally Morton’s book yet, “Toxic Superfoods” but I have watched several interviews with her. Apparently in her book she gives specific examples of foods to add to help with the oxalate dumping.
...while as a christian & a creation-ist, i cringe everytime i hear someone elude to this delusion of "evolution" ...i do however agree with the "ancestral appropriate diet" & they way the body was divinely created to eat & process foods... thank u
I keep wondering why Jesus ate some of the things he did then. Bread, wine, figs?
Yes when they lived in the Garden they are plants because they were Spirit. When their eyes were opened and saw they were naked plus more human form so they were ashamed. They were sent out of the Garden because they knew sin, evil and God is Pure Spirit, Light and darkness cannot have fellowship with evil or darkness. Light repels darkness. God cannot be around darkness. Adam and Eve were now of this world and would start eating meat to sustain their body which is in human form now. We need iron from red meat for our blood which carries oxygen. This is to every cell in the body. We need the iron to live. There is life in the blood. The Bible says this.
Bro god is pure consciousness not some man in the sky waving a wand to spawn in humans, the way the world forms doesnt discredit the creation, we exist as thoughts in the all, the science of our solar systems formation and evolution on earth is the process of the idea forming in the all mind. Genesis doesnt actually say creation happened in “7 days” the translation of the word for day just means a period it could be any amount of time, so even if u still dont understand enough to realize the bible isnt literal, it would still have room for evolution in it, just because evolution implies man wasnt made out of straight up clay and formed by the hands of some diety in the sky doesnt mean its wrong, your interpretation of the bible is whats wrong
You do realize God made animals to sustain Adam and Eve and the children the bore, right?🤦🙄
@@Vangela1
I’ve read that today’s bread and fruits are completely different than what was available back then.
For one thing, it was flat bread back then, and it was made from a different type of grain.
Maybe bread is what was more available in those times. It doesn’t necessarily make it the best choice, but I’ve wondered about this also!
Wow, I'm learning that fasting isn't the only way. So cool that the fat snack keeps cortisol down. I believe that's been my issue with carnivore. I kept thinking I had to go hours between meals to lose and heal.
Love this video, I just started my journey three weeks ago. I am diabetics about 10yrs now. My body now is adjusting, lower my medication and hopefully soon I’ll get off from the harmful medication.
Thank you. This is very good info. I had a thyroidectomy at 17 due to Grave's disease, and have struggled with my weight since. I had steroid induced type 2 diabetes, and lost lots of weight, and got off diabetes meds, BP meds & Omeprazole. I lost a lot on Atkins many years ago, but didn't stick to a keto diet. I was tired of meds, inflammation, and Drs. I did a carnivore reset for 3 months & got my cholesterol, A 1C, and triglycerides way down, but went back to keto with some dairy, and learned that dairy is extremely inflammatory for me, and that carnivore is best for me right now. I am glad you talked about iodine. I use the Lugol's solution, but did not realize how important that is. I realized too that I do best eating beef and lamb, & some fish. I have a lot of arthritis, and other inflammation, so this is helpful. I just had my A1C and it is at 5.3. I am sure it will be even lower on carnivore. The exercise tips are important too. I tend to overdue in that area then suffer for it. I do still have a lot of weight to lose, but this did encourage me to stay on a straight carnivore for healing. I am grateful to you both for this.
@48:42 "People can't avoid stress." Very true. The problem is, most people are stressed without them even knowing most of the time. Unless we're reminded to monitor our stress levels sometimes through the day, we're not aware of how stressed we are.
My dr was very stern with me over my stress levels (CRP and such) and *stressed me out* insisting I take up meditation. Finally she read down the report and found severe anemia and said "Ooh, never mind." When the body is out of whack, it's under constant stress.
@@merrymerry7583 "When the body is out of whack, it's under constant stress."
How true. But the medical metrics for measuring vitals are different for each of us. Or, each of us require different metrics for measuring our vitals.
This is an issue no good doctor should ever dispute.
So? At what point in life can one honestly measure? What are the metrics appropriate for you? What your doctor is saying is, 'even though you feel fine and are optimally healthy mentally and physically, there's still stress in the system causing some sort of imbalance'?
IOW, How do you tell an olympic competition skater when he/she is neck and neck with their opponent to reduce their stress levels'? Or a heavyweight boxer? Or a formula one driver?
Stress runs through the system 24/7/365. We would be dead if we couldn't generate stress in certain amounts. That said, 'stress' and 'tension' are usually interchangable.
I guess what I'm saying is, we're too dependent on medical technology to steer us toward optimum health for the most part. And that each of us need to take more responsibility for our own good health by staying out of the doctor's office and the hospital.
@@peterboytRaKs Re the hypothetical dr saying: "even though you feel fine and are optimally healthy mentally and physically, there's still stress in the system causing some sort of imbalance" - if someone feels fine and optimally healthy mentally and physically my hope is they ignore any dr telling them to stress over stress! I think most of us have stories of such ill health that we went to the dr out of desperation. My experience was that I suddenly got so weak I could no longer work out or even do housework that required much exertion, so I went to the dr thinking I had an infection. When she started in on the meditation angle I knew she was all wet. I went the medical route for anemia treatment and ended up debilitated (I'm sure that if I'd continued the protocol it would've outright killed me). Alternative practitioners pulled me back from the brink, but I spent 2 years unable to walk farther than the bathroom. Extreme adrenal fatigue, labeled Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Gradually I regained some semblance of health. I finally started carnivore 12w ago hoping to recover true vitality, and am having encouraging success. My experience has left me absolutely unwilling to trust the mainstream medical system for anything but broken bones. My own measure of how I'm doing is how I feel, how energetic I am. I hope we can all get back to that fundamental human freedom/responsibility.
@@merrymerry7583
Did you get your anemia fixed?
Rina, what a fantastic interview! This is one of the best I have ever seen…and I’ve watched many. I will watch this again!
I learned more about the danger of cortisol here than I have ever. Can carnivore reverse low libido for me as a 42 year old male?
Great video! I will now stop caffeine in the morning, I drink 4-5cups before lunch and I think it has limited fat loss (Im Carnivore for 3months)
Full-fat cream doesn't seem to be talked about. Is eating full-fat cream as good as eating butter? Thank you for this informative interview with Dr Bright.
I have no idea but since Dr Bright drinks decaffeinated coffee with butter I’ve started pouring in cream for good measure. It tastes so much nicer with cream in it.
I make butter from double cream. Just needs whipping until the solids separate from the buttermilk. So the same thing I would say
I do watch a lot of keto/carnivore content but have never heard this spin on it. My wife has issues that just aren't being addressed by our current way of eating so this focus on adrenals is very interesting. Thank you.
I do not need to lose weight and doing one stick of butter a day. I loved it and no more constipation!! This has been life long but was getting stomachaches from dairy. Tried beef tallow & I love it but can’t get enough fat equals constipation again! Love the carnivore diet but it’s so challenging right now. Taking thyroid??
Much less money on Carnivore, absolutely true. Plus your healing and feeling amazing. HUGE WIN WIN
What an amazing interview! Thank you so much for all you are sharing, really helpful! ❤ I have to say, I just love that you don't interrupted her at all, like so many people do when they interview people here on UA-cam. It felt so relaxing to watch you talk 😊
Great interview! Love the fact that you’re always smiling Rina….it’s infectious ❤
Wow, what a great interview! You both clarified so many nuances.
I'm doing carnivore and am cyclist and my riding is important to me. I do big 5+ hour events and stuff. I've become aware of a lot of experts recommending not to do cardio like Dr Bright, but I'm not willing to give up my riding. I'd love to see more on the effects of cardio and how we can counter it.
@@infiniteepoch8 mostly I don't eat on the bike, but if it's a race I will grab a few jells for keeping my blood glucose from getting too low. It doesn't take much when you're a fat burner, and it's only at high intensity + longish durations (90 min to like 5 hr) that becomes necessary, as if short you don't need it and very long events are at lower intensity. I'll eat a big fatty meal (I do like 75/25) if I can eat like 2hr prior to start, but I often just fast. Then a nice big fatty meal after.
Dr Peter Atta talks about the latest studies showing not to do long endurance sports if you value your heart health, but instead doing shout bursts of high interest training that actually makes the heart healthier and stronger for the long term.
Look up the works of Stephen Phinney regarding exercise.
I suspect this is one of those optimizations that you can make for best progress at healing but I'm obviously getting into wonderful physical shape with the carnivore diet and the cycling. I never had any real heath problems, just excess fat before the diet change even with all the cycling with high carbs. I think I was pre diabetic and had a string of broken bones in minor wrecks so I do think I'm correcting underlining issues that just hadn't boiled over yet. I'm 40 6' and about 170lbs now, targeting a 6 pack and pretty close 😉.
@@infiniteepoch8 I train CF every day in a very hot garage without drinking for 16 hrs.
I just watched again a second time 8 months later.
Beautiful intelligent women.
I learnt so much again. Thankyou so much!
Thank you so much for this interview. You ask the most pertinant questions... And I just love your shocked expressions to the answers! I really appreciate your content and breaking it down for us... For the carnivore newbie or the carnivore that needs steering. Thank you
Excellent information. Dr. Bright is so on point, and you are a great interviewer!👍
What ratio of fat to protein for a 63 you female post menopausal? still 80;20? I don't need to lose anymore weight. I am enjoying listening to this I have listened a lot to Dr Ken Berry and Dr Anthony Chaffee, and they are great but big strong men who obviously work out a lot. I don't like exercise apart from walking but not religiously, I am trying to be healthy though
Wow! I loved this interview and learnt so much as a new carnivore. You’re both brilliant ❤
exelente informacion y lo mejor es que lo pude ver con subtitulos en espanol. Me gustaria que todos los influencers de esta alimentacion carnivora pensaran en la comunidad hispana.
I have the following symptoms: Insomnia, brain fog, can't focus, racing heart, tinnitus, extreme fatigue, which fluctuates throughout the day, anxiety, duzziness and 2 vertigo attacks, ending in ER. I rarely feel satiated after a meal. I am 64 yrs old but was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism in my early 30s. I took meds for a year and felt better. Doctors kept checking my thyroid function. All the tests are negative till now. I am really struggling. I am not on any meds except supplements: magnesium, omega 3, vit d3 +K2, B complex. Two days ago I started taking kelp. I tried to book an apt with Dr. Bright , she is fully booked till almost end of April 2025. I need some help...
Great content! Thank you! I'm just past 60 days carnivore. Struggling at times with fatigue, especially after eating.
Try drinking some electrolytes and or increase your salt intake.
I like to use LMNT packets - no sugar and sweetened with stevia. I learned about this from other carnivores 😊
You don't have to buy expensive electrolytes, though, unless you want, to as you can just salt your food more and buy individual supplements of magnesium and potassium, much cheaper.😊
Yes but do your homework on magnesium because the types make a big difference and most carnivore specialists (especially the MDs o er the coaches warrant taking yoo many supplements when you are aiming for healing on your carnivore journey because it can cause a stall more than helping.
@@karenhampton1111 i definitely agree. I use that 1-2 times per week, and only if I’m sweating a lot from gardening. I don’t supplement much and I eat carnivore “conservatively” - bc I do intermittent fasting. Basically OMAD and maybe another carnivore “snack” before I fast again. I’m adjusting well to that.
I definitely burnt myself out with cardio - was using a calorie counter in my heart rate monitor and couldn’t leave the gym until I had burned 1,500 cals… if I didn’t meet that number it rolled over to the next day. A few times, I spent 6hrs in multiple spin classes to achieve whatever I needed to meet the week’s requirements. And that’s how you screw up your body! Injuries, tears, massive weight gain despite excessive working out, thyroid destroyed. That was 15yrs ago now, still have issues but feel well enough to get back to weight lifting and though i still like spin, am sticking strictly to 15min sessions only a couple times a week. Thank you!
@1588chrissy same here I worked out excessively. So, If you still struggle with weight, try leaving the cardio alone all together and just go walking. I as well as many other women have spoke about their bodies were sensitive to any workouts and just needed to rest (it goes into flight or fight mode very easy and goes into hunger mode very easy)
So when I stopped cardio all together, went for walks and performed light yoga and pilates my weight improved (with the elimination of dairy and I would have 1/ 2 cup of black coffee with butter only sometimes.
Now I did start including intermittent fasting but not until I naturally became satisfied with 2mad or OMAD (I didnt force it if I was still hungry then I felt I still needed to heal) once I started fasting, I made sure I ate enough during my feeding window and my weight started dropping off. But before that it had other priorities and that was to heal first. I know Dr. Bright speak against women fasting especially that has hormonal imbalances but there are some doctors that are advocates for IF as long as you are eating healthy and they feel it actually aid in hormornal imbalance. So I just make sure on my days that I am fasting (36 to 48hrs), I have pieces of frozen butter throughput the day. I slowly increased my fasting window. I feel fantastic.
Oh my gosh I so relate this this
I hope you are healing well 🙌
The way she spoke about ghee may have caused some unintentional confusion.
When made properly - Ghee will have no proteins in it. Also, if made properly, no water/moisture.
The advantage of well made ghee is that it can sit at room temperature for many years and never go rancid.
I had ghee for the first time at a very nice restaurant and I was stuck in the bathroom for 45 minutes. Worst stomach cramps and everything else. Scared of Ghee now
@@Shazita1-qe9ix I highly doubt it was the ghee.
I tried to eat some in order to up my fat for the day. Ummmm, it's not a thing I'll eat by the spoon ever again lol😅
High fat and gallbladder problems will make you painfully sick! I went thru it.
@@minagelina Ghee has been used for health treatments with very high good results for thousands of years.
Generally for diet is usually eaten with food, not alone.
When eaten alone - it's used as part of a therapeutic process. And one can have a strong reaction to it if not familiar. It is also followed by processes to remove the ghee from your system after it accomplishes it's purpose.
The bit on Lugol's iodine is absolutely brilliant! I must take issue with her position on pasteurized milk. In the USA, conventional pasteurized milk is also homogenized and in the process of manufacture the milk fat is separated, dessicated under high heat (denatured) and then re-incorporated into the slurry to produce a product that is 99.9% consistent. This results in a thorough and fundamentl alteration of the proteins in that milkfat. And, this is what provokes an allergic/inflammatory response in so many people who are not technically lactose intollerant.
Then there is the issue of "ultra-pasteurization" which is quite frankly an abomination, IMHO.
Her comments on ground beef are eye opening. I strongly prefer chuck roast and steak as my goto cut of beef. It is fatty, flavorful, and generally inexpensive.
I must take issue with her position on wild salmon. Wild salmon and farmed salmon are completely different products. The latter is NOT a food product. It is an abomination. The former is a nearly perfect food for any carnivorous mammal that emerged from the pre-historic sea. The perfect food, IMO, is wild Alaska King Salmon. It is the fattiest variety of salmon. This is the food of kings, IMHO.
I understand the lack of availability of bacon in Italy. But, surely she has heard of guanchale. And, just what do Italian pig farmers do with their pork bellies? As any Phillipino can attest to, pork bellies roasted are magical.
You'd best watch the video again. Dr. Bright agrees with what you're saying.
