Hi Dr Ekberg, I hope you get this message. My father has just been found to have significant weight loss, exceptionally high blood sugar, normal insulin levels (I don't know if this is affected by the insulin injections), and the hospital is forcing him to take insulin injections, but his blood sugar is still dropping exceptionally slowly. Apparently he has insulin resistance and, in my opinion, a loss of beta cell function. I think I have to stop this "treatment", but what to do next, if beta cell function does go away in this case?
My doctor has warned me I am prediabetic for four years, yet NEVER explained that it wouldn't correct itself. I just thought I had to stay away from sugary things, never knew it was about sugar AND the amount of carbs you eat, WHEN you eat. etc. Never said I might have insulin resistance. I've had to find all this info out through internet videos like YOURS, Thank God you exist!
@@2puffs770 I'm also pre diabetic and all was said to me is to lose weight since I'm overweight and ok that's fair enough but there's no real guidance towards a proper path. Fasting and exercising can go a long way but understanding your situation in particular is also important.
SO great You found a real Dr who is looking at Your whole body & all it's systems to help You use food as medicine to be Your very best self!! WOOT WOOT
This man saved my life. I was taking my meds for a year then I started listening to him thank God I found him. My a1c is 5.0 thank you Dr I am from Trinidad
I did. Prediabetes diagnosed in 2020. Now normal sugar levels for some time. These videos helped me. I was fat with 40 BMI no sports, not even walking, unhealthy junk food and sugar drinks. Since then i completely changed my lifestyle. I do gym 4x a week, martial arts trainings 3-4 times a week, quit driving car in the city and started walking a lot, my average is 13k steps per day. Much better eating habits and no sugar drinks like cola. I feel 100 times better. Last saturday i did 80km bike ride. Do it before it's too late. These things can improve if you don't let them go too far.
Thanks for your valuable explanation about how to control diabetic by maintaining Carbs,Proteins,and Fats with food habits and limited excercise. Thank you very much once again for your talk.
What is most impressive about Dr. Ekberg is not just his knowledge of health, but his ability to write PERFECTLY backwards on a glass panel to illustrate his point.
Let me start by saying thank you Dr. Sten, you saved my life! And please keep doing what you are doing, you ARE making a difference, i'm LIVING proof! Thanks to your teachings i've lost a good 100lbs since January and my blood pressure has gone from 193/97 to normal and obviously i've never felt better. This is the third time i've lost 100lbs in my 52 years, I thought I was just born to be fat. I lost weight the other times by pure willpower hiking mountainous terrain for an hour a day and mostly eating whole grains and no fat. Basically I starved myself. Now I eat the way you suggest with very low carbs, garden grown veggies and more healthy fats than i've ever eaten in my life. Keeping to an 18/6 feeding window and i'm never craving foods like I have my entire life. It's a MIRACLE! Thank you again, my 84 year old father thanks you too, he's lost about 30lbs. I only wished I knew how to eat this way 30 years ago!!
Thank you @grahamb5769. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it. The purpose of my channel is to explain the principles and mechanisms of health in such a way that you start gaining an understanding and respect for the miracle that is the human body. I spend so much time on it because when we get "the why" and start owning the mechanisms we become empowered for life . Comments like yours makes it all worthwhile. 😄
@@drekberg you are very welcome! I neglected to say that you are a very gifted teacher, so easy to understand. I'm doing what I can to spread your message.
@@drekberg Yep.. Cardiologists i've seen are taxed with too many patients, and not enough time since their proprietors optimize their revenue. Am buoyed by your teachings of insulin actions and balance, and advancements in eradication of atherosclerotic plaque. Cyclodextrin (Cavadex) and the squalus compound family ( Trodusquemine and friends) are on the horizon if clinical practice can catch up. Seems the Insurance folks control money... and create an illusion of complicity with a "standard of care" that centers on drugs alone and never any emphasis on food. Surely the guy standing next to us with the gasoline/firehose is to blame .... Just have to see us as responsible for what goes in our mouths. We need to choose wisely. Thanks for the awareness.
Love your videos! I consider you one of my teachers! I always feel welcomed when you repeatedly welcome us as your health champions. I listen to you through out my week. Day or night when I have time. I have been watching you for two years now. You are grately appreciated! May Our Heavenly Father Yahweh and his son Yeshua Hamashieak bless you and your loved ones.@@drekberg
In the year january 2020, my youngest son died from Fentanyl. I lost my oldest brother in 2013 from heroine. But 2020 did me in and by October that year my only living brother also overdosed. My youngest brother died from suicide in 1981. The reason why I am bringing all this up here is because of the cortisol changes in my body. At one time I was 89 pounds and now I am 158 pounds. When my son died, I slept about 4 hours the entire week. My PCP would not help me with anything. Then right after he died, we had the pandemic so I was totally alone. I couldn't afford therapy online. So I suffered wandering around my house like a zombie from lack of sleep and severe stress. About 2 months ago, I started exercising everyday. I ordered the A1c test and it was 5.7. I ordered it because my toes started to hurt, my skin started itching and overall I felt terrible. I have always had more valuable help from natural paths than traditional doctors. It will be a long road back but at least symbolicly I am inside the house verses on the outside looking in. This video was so valuable and well explained @Dr. Sten Ekberg. Thank you for sharing this information!
I'm so sorry you've had such a horrible time. Good on you for not giving up! Keep up the good work and Trust God for results! Blessings to you friend! ☺️❤
Megan I'm so sorry for this devastation you've endured. May God give you His strength and you know His Love is with you. ❤ Ou are so awesome! Working on your physical and mental health is going to help you enormously. Keep moving girlfriend and never give up.
Well I have totally reversed my type 2. I lost 55 lbs. Work out daily. Changed my diet to high protein, moderate to low carb/low fat, less than 50g a day. No alcohol, no sugar, no processed seed oils, etc. No fast food in 18 months. I am off metformin, insulin, BP meds, etc. All I take now is daily cialis for BPH. Your videos and a couple others helped me change diet and life. I am 59 and look 40 now. A1C now is in 5.4 range and Average glucose down to 118. Still have some work to do. Thanks Doc.
Why low fat? We need fat. Just avoid the Refined PUFA vegetable oils (now called seed oils mentioned in the video). Eat fatty cuts of steak and high fat ground beef along with real butter, bacon and eggs.
Mr. Please, let us know what you have done in your life to help others. It might shed light into your character and motives. Thank you.@@richardjackson5380
We live in an extremely stressful world…by design. The only thing I’ve found that lowers stress is staying away from people as much as possible. All of them. And isn’t that a helluva way to have to live. 😳
Благодарю вас доктор Экберг,после ваших лекций я полностью поменяла свое мышление,поменяла свой образ жизни,мне кажется я совсем стала другая по другому отношусь к своему здоровью,вы лучший,Россия,Сибирь.
As I walked out of my Dr's office I was reading my post visit summary. It said I was pre diabetic and obese. My Dr never mentioned it. I took control of my own health, first going keto and then carnivore with intermittent fasting. Months later when I saw my Dr for an injury I told him I quit carbs and I was surprised when he said " that's great, carbs are terrible " then when I told him about fasting it was as if a door opened and we had some great conversations. It was as if he couldn't, or wasn't allowed to bring these topics up himself, but it was ok if I did. This was at a Kaiser Permanente office and he was the lead Dr there.
My guess is he probably didn’t think you would try to get healthy. Doctors are gaslit into believing that all patients are lazy and liars. Our family doctor is the best. Retired Air Force, and is married to a nutritionist. He’s also very anti pharma. One day he told us that the only difference between doctors and non, is better test taking skills. He said they’re not smarter than anyone. We haven’t seen him in years. Our family only goes to the doc for catastrophic situations like car accident or broken bones. After the last 4 years, we’ve become more healthy. Dr. Ekberg and many other pod castors have been huge in our learning how to be healthier and happier. Our kids are super healthy too. No vax, no check ups. Just heathy eating, sunlight and home school. It’s great when we get affirmation from others around us. Especially a doctor. I had gestational diabetes 4 out of my last 5 pregnancies. Didn’t have it last time at age 42, and I owe it all to Dr. Ekberg. My OB was shocked I didn’t have it. Low carb, IF , weight lifting. Sorry for the long response, it’s early and the coffee just kicked in. 😂
In years past my Dr's never mentioned I was borderline diabetic. As I have learned thru time how to eat healthier ,I am now borderline prediabetic level. I am continuing to work on eating healthier. Happy I am going in the right direction.
@@JohnWest4 yes - Insulin sensitive individuals will be around 65-80. And very very important to do Fasting insulin... to see how much insulin your body is using to try and keep your blood sugar at 110-115. That is the other part of the equation as is the A1c. Vit D/Hormone D is very very important in reversing this- as are the B vitamins. Intermittent fasting and low carb eating and walking solves this for most people fairly quickly.
The best guy on UA-cam regarding health topics, nobody explains that well, in a time there are so many poor medics (up to date) and you have to research by yourself and try out what helps you best
Dr Sten Eckberb is, by far, the best methabolic doctor, professor and researcher on that area. I've been diabetic II for 17 years. Now trying to reverse it on no meds....just applying Xr Eckberg's knowledge . No carbs, exercise, keto. Dr Eckberb deserves international recognition. His honesty has no limits.
Someone please tell me why Dr. Sten Ekberg isn't US Surgeon General until this hugely costly health problem is solved in America. Anyone? (Many thanks to Dr. Sten Ekberg for helping me and others get metabolized and lose weight and stay away from carbohydrates and bad/inflammatory oils, and do intermittent fasting. Some folks think I'm weird. I don't care. I feel great I've lost ~60 lbs. and my wife and I both weigh what we did when we were teenagers, ~45 years ago. Can't thank the dry-wit and sometimes hilariously humorous, Dr. Sten Ekberg, my favorite YT channel.
big pharma and cereal companies, hostess would come down on him like cement. I tell my pts what is your D, A1C? and refer them back to their MD. Many people think I can take a pill for it thats easy
J'adore ce Docteur .J'apprends énormément avec lui et c'est une grande joie , j'ai 70 ans mais j'ai toujours envie d'apprendre et je regrette de ne pas avoir découvert ces vidéos .
I was diagnosed as pre diabetic in April. With the help of your advice, I’m down 19 pounds, and my A1C lowered half a point to 5.3, putting me out of the pre-diabetic range. I still have more weight to lose to be even healthier. Dr. Ekberg, your videos are so very helpful!
My doc mentioned that I was now just barely pre diabetic based on regular blood testing. She didn’t say anything about diet changes, meds, or ask any follow up questions. I fired her with a quickness and am now seeking a new primary care physician.
MY GP was fascinated with which statin was for me. I showed what diet and exercise changes can do - numbers were within limits, but he pressed on, thinking that you can't ever stop.. or the post-statin backlash will be seen with vengeance. With a coronary calcium score, there should be mandatory diet a and exercise training. Instead the score is used to ensure compliance.
Yes!..good for you..but you will do better to watch Dr. Ekburg too. You will learn a lot more from him then any doctor out there who all victims of the drug companies.
@@johnnychipello919 I have been. I like the way he describes how sugar is metabolized, but don't get why fruit ( largely fructose powered) doesn't become a liver tax, but hfcs ( 5% more Fructose than sucrose) is frightfully scary?? Would fruit juice lack any fiber that might temper the glycemic spike? So fruit with fiber is tempered, but fruit juice spikes liver more?
I went to the dentist for 2 wisdom removals. They asked who my primary was? Dr. Sten Ekberg I said. 18 months Down 80 pounds A1c 6.3 to 4.9 continuous Nerves that were damaged but not destroyed in my left foot completely rejuvenated after 1 year. High Fat, Moderate Protein, very low carb. Removed Man made processed poisons. Feed in a 5 hour window fasting 19/5 religiously. Satiated without any hunger. 6000 steps Tues, Thurs & Saturday. Light weight training nothing extreme. For most no proof is possible, I was one of those until January 2023. Adaptations are reversible so easy a Caveman could do it. High Quality recovery is the reward. When you execute the homework Sten provides get ready for a big win. Thanks for everything.
@@JohnWest4 Thanks John. Optimal is way better than the other. When you remove the poison and stop bouncing your Insulin like a basketball good things happen. I didn't expect that nerve discomfort to reverse back. It did after 14 months. It took 1 extra week to figure out how to walk without that limp I had for 5 years.
In 2 months I’ve lost nearly 20 pounds and my acne when from cysts to barely any th in fat all. I spent 20 years from 10 years old to 30 years old putting all this stuff on my face, come to find out I just stopped eating carbs and it’s gone. Freaking unbelievable. Thank you for the work you and other doctors on UA-cam have done to help people like me.
As a visual learner, this was the best explanation for health I’ve ever seen. Thank you for showing numbers, graphs and having your points up on the screen in organized notation. Excellent!
I really loved the whole message but my favourite part of your presentation is NOT TO GIVE INTO genetics and also loved more natural food,chill exercise etc. Thanks a million ❤
Thank you so much for saving me. Was defentenly prediabetic but have turned it arround all because of you. Visited several doctors and no one had the guts to tell me i was on a wrong path eating "food". It's never to late. If you read this start now.
@@thetree7694 I made the decision to totally cut suger for a month. No candy. No cakes. No bread, pasta, rise, potatoes, No soda. Only low carb foods. So i ate more salads, vegetables, Meat, and eggs. I’m not kidding. After 8 days i could feel something happening. It was Wild. No more tiredness. No more wanting sugar foods. It felt like my brain was more clear. I know it sounds weird. But Think everybody should try this. Just for a month to at least 14 days. People Will be surprised.
Wow, so grateful you’re dedicated to helping us understand how intricate the body is. And what we can do to change the terrible trajectory we are all on if we don’t make serious changes. God Bless you!!!
Dr. Ekberg gives the best and most balanced health/diet information on UA-cam, but I get the idea that he skews toward not scaring off most of his audience by underemphasizing low to no carb, and warning about the toxins in plants. I don't eat plants anymore, but still find watching his videos very worthwhile.
The longest lived most healthy populations on the planet eat almost entirely plants and next to no meat, eggs, fish or dairy. Your diet sounds appalling Koni term. We need phytochemicals
I went from 5.7 to 5.2 in 2 months!! Drank ACV (15-17mL) with 17oz of water or more water before and during meals. Ate veggies first like lettuce or cucumber. Then protein. Carbs last, if any. Walk 45+ minutes AFTER eating. Went low carb for the most part but still had my boba but 50% sweetness and only drank half of the drink. Drank the next half the next day. I’ll eat white rice once or twice a week. Carbs make me soooo sleepy. I hate food coma, it’s not a good sign!!
This is great but.. try and get a fam physician on board to acquire all these blood tests … She goes by the guidelines, otherwise I’m a stress to the already stressed out healthcare system. Yet here I am trying to PREVENT a disease and be Less a burden to the health system !
I just became prediabetic in the last year. I am a very thin woman who eats better than most Americans. My doctor thinks it’s the medication that I have to take that is causing it so she’s not concerned. She just told me to cut back on my carbs and sugar.
My A1C went from 5.3 to 5.6. I was shocked because I eat low carb and I’m very strict. I don’t take any medications and I’m 57. I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong! I really want to reverse it!!
I’ve gone carnivore because I kept getting severe diverticulitis eating keto with lots of of fresh organic vegetables and salads. I even made my own dressing no oils. I have extreme stress due to caring for my severely disabled son who’s 33 years old. Your breathing technique has literally saved me. My blood pressure has been reduced almost to normal. I’m also walking 45-60 minutes a day. I’m going to go back to one meal a day and see if this helps my weight loss stall. For some reason veggies cause bloating and inflammation. I have been diagnosed with non alcoholic fatty liver too.
Thank you Dr Ekberg! Through diet and exercise recommend from your videos, I’ve gone from a 6.9 to 5.9 in just 6 months- my goal is 4.5 and will maintain this diet for long term
6 years ago I was pre-diabetic, no sugar and few simple carbs for a year - at next annual checkup, no longer pre-diabetic. Occasional small amounts of sugar not a problem.
My A1C went from 5.3 to 5.6. I was shocked because I eat low carb and I’m very strict. I don’t take any medications and I’m 57. I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong! I really want to reverse it!!
I was prediabetic in 2018... yet only told this year!! Since then I believe I had a TIA event and now suffering various issues which can be connected to that. It was me, not any docs who linked my symptoms to a stroke! No wonder I don't really trust them! Anyway I've changed my lifestyle, taking low doses of BP and antiplatelet meds with a view to coming off in near future. Am feeling benefits of lifestyle changes already.
35yo male here, 6'1'', and I have always been thin and fit my whole life, despite eating everyday sugary food, cake, sodas, snacks.. I did some blood tests at 29yo, and my Hba1c came back at 5.7%. Prediabetes on the way. I thought, if I already have prediabetes at 29, what's gonna happen when I'm 40? So I quit all of that junk food and now my HBa1c is 5.0%, and I've never felt better. Lesson here? Just because you are young thin and fit, doesn't mean you can just do whatever you want with your body and not worry about your health. We should always eat healthy, and have medical checks, blood work, etc etc..
Wow thank you for this comment.. I don’t feel alone, I have almost exact same problem. I did some research which has changed how I see diabetes. There are thin people with a condition called generalised dyslipidemia who have very little fat and because of this they get type 2 diabetes. From my research in watching doctors, I do think it’s a problem in how our livers are processing. I have ordered Fatty-15 so will see if that has an impact. I think for thin athletic people who become insulin resistant there’s more to the story than just bad diet but something essential our bodies are doing wrong, I am hoping changing diet with no-carb and supplements will help. I am surprised that liver detox tablets are helping my skin and eyes, so I recommend looking into liver detox tablets for 1-2 weeks as well as look into c15 fatty acid. All the best.

Hand surgery in ‘23 and antibiotics were in the IV as a matter of course. As a protective measure, I fermented organic apple juice in the yogurt maker for 48 hours along with Florastor…Sacchamyces boulardi. This prevented GI flare ups. At age 81, I’m protective of my microbiome. This was after months of eating L.Reuteri yogurt. I was pleased to get through this process without aftermath.
Dr. Ekberg. Usted es el mejor expositor de metabolismo que he conocido. Lo felicito. Soy el Dr. Pretto anestesiólogo y master in nutrition. Me uniré a su canal. Gracias.. Se lo he recomendado a mis pacientes.
The highest my A1C got was 5.3. I have since cut out sugar, white flour, ultra processed stuff, and vegetable oils for less inflammation pain. I have lost weight in the process. Before a recent surgery, my fasting blood sugar was 81.
My a1c 2 month before was 6 and my body weight is 91 after watching your video and following your suggestion my body weight is now 78 and feeling great
My A1C last April was 5.5. My A1C this April was 5.9. I was shocked! I couldn't figure out why. I barely eat 35-40 carbs per day And that it's just protein, fat and non starchy vegetables. Some nuts nothing else. In other words, I was still very low carb. I do not eat grains of any kind or sucrose or fructose. Mid January, I experienced gastrointestinal issues for almost two and a half months before my blood test. It was stressing me out. I'm quite sure the stress Increased my blood sugar and my A1C. It's just not possible to have a high A1C, with the diet I eat.
Same thing happened to me. Last year mine was 5.3 and this year it’s 5.6. I’m 57 years old. My Dr said it’s because I weigh 162. I need to lose 20 pounds ASAP, or she said I’ll be in trouble.
I am prediabetic and never got a lesson on what foods to eat/avoid. Common sense put aside,it gets confusing. Way too easy to pop metformin (4 for me a day). Choices catch up with you...thank you Dr. Ekberg for the assist!
My Hba1c is 5.2 and my goal is 5 by the end if this year. Yes it's not in the high range at all but I have got here after many changes in my overall diet and I feel better than ever.
Your A1c could actually go up ... if your red blood cells are living longer. Having a 5.2 A1c is excellent, it better than 95 percent of the population. Don't get caught up in a silly numbers game.
My A1C is 4.2. 99% whole foods and exercise for 60 years. Aim low. I like moderate distance cycling around 30-45 miles and weights. Occasional hikes and walks.
Namaste Manisha. I am an Indian female. Please help me understand this better. My HbA1c has recently been diagnosed as 6.3. I am so disturbed. Please help me and tell me what dietary changes I need to make. I hope you read this and help me
Thank YOU!!! This is just what I needed to hear!! I have been controlling it with a 4.7-4.8! To me (& you, I’m sure)this is fantastic because I WAS at 6.7 & my Dr. said, Oh No!! You’re fine, we will give you meds once you hit 7.0!! Now through some major stress in my life, I’m constantly hovering at 6.5!! My Grandfather died with no legs below the knees!! I’m NOT GOING THERE!! I absolutely hate exercise but apparently it will now be my best friend along with probiotics & of course NO CARBS or SUGAR!! Again, Thank you!! I was ready to give up & do the medicine route because I tried …… Now that I have been educated with such in-depth details, I can do this!! Many, Many Thanks to you Dr. Ekberg!!
Thank you for talking about prediabetes. I am an 80 year old female. I have had an a1c reading of 6.1 +/- for many years. I have not been overweight . I started watching your videos about one year ago and have been eating a Keto diet ever since then. My problem is I have not been able to lower my a1c. All my other tests are good including my insulin that is 2.6. My glucose levels are around 100. My HOMA-ir is .64. What can I do to get my a1c down?
This is my thread right here!! Love this stuff and feel so much better eating this way!!!! Tons of greek yogurt, love love salmon avocados every morning w eggs n yummy veggie filled steak n chicken stir fry too. Feel better
@@drekberg Isn't it true that we only need fiber if we eat the foods that contain the fiber. We can digest meat just fine without any fiber intake. All the carnivore doctors have pretty much proven that. Haven't they?
Thank you @thomassaddul. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it. The purpose of my channel is to explain the principles and mechanisms of health in such a way that you start gaining an understanding and respect for the miracle that is the human body. I spend so much time on it because when we get "the why" and start owning the mechanisms we become empowered for life . Comments like yours makes it all worthwhile. 😄
When my (now replaced) doctor told me I was prediabetic, he of course put me on metformin. Then I learned about IF and LC thanks to Dr. Ekberg; when I brought these up with the physician, he said both were "dangerous" and that I needed to eat "as much fruit and whole grains as you want." What??
Thank you so much. I have my result comparison up and I lowered my cholesterol from 277 to 200 in a year. With this channels info I can lower it more. My doctor has NOT talked to me on how.
Lowering cholesterol is bad... The idea that cholesterol is bad is based on bunk "science" from 60 years ago. You need cholesterol for: • Making new cells • Making all hormones • Making and protecting cells in the brain • Supporting your immune system • Supporting cell signalling • Enabling Vitamin D synthesis • Producing bile for digestion • Regulating gene expression If you want to make it harder for your body to do any of the things listed above, then go ahead and continue to try to lower your cholesterol. If you don't believe me, just ask your doctor to print out the best study that shows cholesterol is bad for you...
Thank you @ChrissyErica. That's great. Just keep in mind that the total cholesterol number is not the most important thing to look at. Do a search for some of my cholesterol videos for more info 😄
@@ChrissyErica Such a good question! Think about these questions a little bit. It will help you get a better idea of what is going on. Imagine you own a bus company. 🚎 People come to your station, get on your buses, and get a ride to somewhere on your bus route. 👍🏻 So, the bus loads up The bus drives out The bus drops off The bus comes back Then the cycle repeats.👍🏻 Now, imagine that one day the city you are in experiences riots - some people start smashing things and starting fires. 🔥😱 Now, imagine that one of your buses gets attacked by the rioters - they smash it up and light it on fire! So, the bus comes back to the station banged up, on fire, and putting nasty smoke into the air. Now, at this point, what is the more accurate word to describe the bus that the rioters attacked: If it were up to you, would you describe the bus as a "bad bus" or a "damaged bus"? It's a damaged bus, right? It started out just fine, and was doing a great job, and it was providing a much needed aervice. - it wasn't a "bad" thing. But now it is on fire and is putting smoke out all over the place which is causing damage to the things around it. But that doesn't mean the bus is "bad", it's just damaged and needs to either be repaired or taken out of service. What is the real problem in this scenario, the bus that is on fire or the rioters that are starting fires? This is like cholesterol. There are no "good" or "bad" cholesterols. But their can be functional or damaged cholesterol. But the cholesterol don't damage themselves - something else is attacking and damaging the cholesterol. So, the problem isn't cholesterol. The problem is the thing that is causing a riot - something else is starting fires all over your body, and your cholesterol is being damaged from it. I hope this helps. There is only cholesterol - it can be damaged, but that doesn't mean there is a "bad" cholesterol. The problem is not with the cholesterol, the problem is with the things that damage the cholesterol. If you can "stop the riots," you will also stop your cholesterol from being damaged. The so-called "bad cholesterol" is just a *_SYMPTOM_* or result of something else - there are "rioters" that are damaging your "buses". We can talk about the "rioters" if you want, but the point here is that thinking about cholesterol as being "good" or "bad" misses the point that there is something else that is the real problem. Once you start thinking in terms of "healthy cholesterol" and "damaged" cholesterol ", you automatically realize that you need to focus on what is causing your cholesterol to become damaged, instead of trying to deal with the cholesterol directly. Don't judge the bus just because some a•sholes beat it up, judge the as•holes. In other words, calling damaged cholesterol "bad" is like calling someone who got mugged "bad". No, the person who got mugged is a victim. The real "bad guy" is the one who is doing the mugging. Hope this helps. Very happy to answer any other questions about cholesterol, the studies behind it, why so many doctors think it is bad, etc etc. Feel free to ask anything.
@@Hertz2laugh Great explanation! On keto for over a year & was doing really good with fatty grass fed rib eye, Kerry's butter, eggs, bacon, except I became a LMHR (Lean mass hyper responder). No family heart disease histories. But, my doctors freaked out and scared the heck out of me. I am now cutting down on the fat to almost low fat and feel horrible - stomach bloating, aches, etc. I am not interested in going the rounds with cardiologists. Will be watching ALL of Dr Ekberg's Cholestrol videos now. Thanks.
Thank you so much for this video. I think that all someone need to know about diabetes has been considered. Even my poor English, I really understand. Thank you again.🙏
I'm grateful for this insight. Applying this "in principle," even while "I was being lazy about it," I dropped from 7.5 to 6.2 in 4 months - to the surprise of my dictor, beccause I didn't swallow the prescribed metformin. All I need to do now is 'stope being lazy about it'. 😊 Thanks doc! 😊
All cancer cells need glucose to strive especially solid tumors. That's how contrast CT scans find tumors. The contrast , normally iodine, is mixed with glucose in the iv injection. Cancer cells are cells that changed to a fermentation anaerobic process to produce energy. Some tumors also survive on glutamine and that is harder to avoid than sugars so one needs to take in glutamine inhibitors such as high doses of vitamin C complex intravenously or other supplements which inhibits glutamine. Angiogenesis inhibitors are also a must.
My A1C went from 5.3 to 5.6. I was shocked because I eat low carb and I’m very strict. I don’t take any medications and I’m 57. I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong! I really want to reverse it!!
Dr. Sten, thank you! You have changed my life with your knowledge. I'm living a completely different life knowing what to eat how to eat and when to eat. God bless you you're a life saving man, never stop with your videos they are life saving!
I am also the one with huge benefit from this channel. I am now saying "why" to every health related agenda. I wish I become a Rich man in money so as I visit dr this doctor physically and test more of body function.
I was type 2 diabetes A1C was 13.5 and glucose 480 i fully reverse it to 5.4 in 4 months eating lots meat and fish and avocado yummy my goal its A1C of 4.5 i already lost 60 punds in 4 months i have the paper work from doctor to prove it in case some people say its lie i was going doctor once a month cause i work for the lab that process the blood result
My God I have been pre-diabetic for 8 years. I just found out when I checked my HbA1c 6.4 and triglycerides and all were so high. The doctor has recommended statins first because of high LDC and exercise and nutrition changes. I pray
Thank you @dang9313. Just become a student of health and take charge. I have over 600 videos that will explain how the body works. Most of them are about metabolic health. Good luck. 😄
HbA1c of 6.4 is Type II diabetes, not prediabetes. Statins will make it worse... LDLc means there is something damaging your LDL. Imagine you own a grocery store. All your employees are healthy and happy. One day the employees who are responsible for unloading the delivery trucks start getting sick. It is all the same sickness, and they only get sick when they unload the trucks. What is the smart thing to do? 1) Forcefully lower the number of employees who unload the trucks because the employees are a problem. 2) Investigate the trucks to see if they are causing your employees to become sick? LDLc are like the sick employees - they are not the source of the problem, they are a symptom of a problem. You don't want to lower your cholesterol just because some of the cholesterol are damaged. You want to find out what is damaging your otherwise healthy cholesterol, and fix that instead.
Please don't take the statin. Your cholesterol will be fine when You stop all the fructose& sugars. Dr Sten has lots of videos to help You start to eat for health instead of eating for death. You & Your life are worth some work & time to change how You eat. He has many vids that help You start cutting down on processed junk & eating more real food. You got this!!🤩🏆
@@stevensevek6151 Well I agree 100% with at least the beef, grass fed if You can afford it & eggs, pasture raised if at all possible. I am sensitive to dairy & now pork so I don't have the butter at this stage or bacon but I am doing well. My A1C is normal now along with all my other numbers & my weight is steady for 4 yrs; I am height/weight appropriate. I feel very good about my lifestyle & highly advise everyone to go low carb without the processed stuff, seed oils, grains & sugars plus I can not have any dairy. My photo was taken at 56 & I am still don't look my age at 70. 🤩
My blood pressure went high for the first time at 63 years old (I am now 66) and been working since 2017 on Keto, then Ketovore, and since 2022 Carnivore. I am very disciplined of my health for the last 40 years. Gave up processed foods 30 years ago. Eat 2 meals a day on carnivore. Never do any junk food and have not had any alcohol since 1993. Love good fats. Sleep very well. NOTHING WORKS FOR ME IN 5 years to loose this 50 pounds I gained in one year, to get off this BP meds for three years.
Thank you, Dr. Ekberg! Base on your recommendations I lost weight (around 90 lb), normalized blood sugar and changed my diet. Intermittent Fasting should be renamed as Intermittent Food Consumption System (or anything what can eliminated word - fasting). I believe, words are very important. The Fasting has meaning to start process and to finish it. We should not finish intermittent fasting. It is type of food consuming process and it shouldn’t have the end meaning. Thank you again, Doc! Long live Alaskan Wild Salmon! 😂❤
Yo tomo una NP thyroid diaria. Camino largas millas unas 3 veces a la semana y ahora mi insulina esta en las manana en ayunas a 125😢😢😢 Estoy muy triste pero seguire sus consejos doctor bello Dios lo bendiga!!
I'd suggest reading "Dark Calories" by Catherine Shanahan. It provides an interesting look at how high PUFA oils mess up metabolism, leading to high blood sugar as a battle goes on for energy production in the cells. It's not just the carbs fault in those who have gotten ill with T2D. The carbs are just the smoke from the PUFA gun. Witness the spread of type 2 diabetes throughout the world as seed oils get substituted for good fats in native populations that did well enough on their previous high carb diet. First they convince you that saturated fat is bad. Then they get you to eat salads, drowning in seed oil, and T2D goes UP, not down.
I agree 💯,I found out last week,I have been on omad,no carbs,no sugar,I will bring it down,💯no medicine for me,also hitt 3xwk Pilates 3x,I will be at it.🌼🌺🐝
Hi Dr Ekberg, I just wanted to thankyou for your advice through your videos. I was diagnosed as pre diabetic, then diabetic when my results hit 6.4. Through your videos and a change of diet I have had my hb1c level get to 5.5 in just over 2 and a half months of doing low carb. Keep up the great videos. Truly saving peoples lives.
Thank You @jitenderaggarwal5529. I am now dubbing the original English audio track into multiple languages so I can get the message of health out to more people around the world. Depending on what region you are in when you click the video, and based on what your default language settings are, UA-cam will automatically serve it out to you in that language. To choose your preferred language for a given video, simply go to the bottom right of the screen, (or maybe top right on mobile), and click on the gear icon (Settings). Then click on "Audio track" and select the language of your choice. I am diligently working to translate and upload more videos in more languages every day, but it will still take some time to get most or all of the videos translated. Thank you for watching and feel free to share this feature if you know people who prefer another language.
I'm type 2 Diabetic and I have just started your keto diet, with some fasting in the morning. I'm still having the odd sweet thing as I ended up with Keto flu when I changed too drastically. I feel a lot of the brain fog is going, my digestive system works a lot better too and my belly fat is shrinking! Thank you Doc! xx
No matter how much i take care like daily morning walk , taking less carbohydrate etc to bring down the sugar .. The fasting sugar is never below 125 . It is really frustaing 😢
Got cancer-melanoma. A1C went from 5.9 down to 4.9. Lost 20 lbs. Stopped added sugar. Eat all foods, just NO added sugar. Sweeten coffee and tea with granulated trulia. My own fault.
My Doc said: "Why do you need to know what your insulin level is, when you already know you have high blood sugar?" I insisted that it could reveal much more that just HbA1c. He just said "Where did you hear that, on the internet?" Yes, LOL. I got the fasting insulin test.
My doctor refused to do a insuline test on me, he said it was to much of a hassle to do it. So he only took glucose lvl wich was good ofcourse and measured my tryglericedes and cholestrerol lvls thru a bloodtest from the lab.
Most complete information on IR so far. Thank you so much doctor you don't know how much benefit I got for my health from your knowledge that you share with lots of care. God Bless Dear ! Keep up the great work.
You need to emphasize low carbs and intermittent fasting -- these are sufficient to reverse most prediabetes. Your discussion of the special testing done in your business is applicable to the small percentage of people who don't respond to the above. I reversed my prediabetes in two months without special testing (only fasting insulin, glucose, calculating HOMA-IR).
Thank you @fredhearty1762. I appreciate your feedback. I have done 100's of videos on low carb and IF. Like you said. The specialized testing is the next step for the stubborn cases, but also for the rising number of people with autoimmunity and other non-IR issues. Also make sure you check out my video library. There are over 600 videos organized by topic and play list. 😄 ua-cam.com/channels/Ie2pR6PE0dae9BunJ38F7w.html
@@drekberg Isn't it true that there's no need to check particle size or apo B if your HDL is high normal and triglycerides are low like mine. My triglycerides to HDL ratio is 1,0
Dr Ekberg could you produce some more videos on the emotional stool leg especially anxiety I've been able to share health information with my sister and daughter and therefore my grand daughter!

Hi Dr Ekberg, I hope you get this message. My father has just been found to have significant weight loss, exceptionally high blood sugar, normal insulin levels (I don't know if this is affected by the insulin injections), and the hospital is forcing him to take insulin injections, but his blood sugar is still dropping exceptionally slowly. Apparently he has insulin resistance and, in my opinion, a loss of beta cell function. I think I have to stop this "treatment", but what to do next, if beta cell function does go away in this case?
My doctor has warned me I am prediabetic for four years, yet NEVER explained that it wouldn't correct itself. I just thought I had to stay away from sugary things, never knew it was about sugar AND the amount of carbs you eat, WHEN you eat. etc. Never said I might have insulin resistance. I've had to find all this info out through internet videos like YOURS, Thank God you exist!
Thinking for yourself is the first thing you can do to save yourself
@@Dragonfury3000 AGREED! However, some direction and guidance from my PCP would have been very helpful, ijs.
@@2puffs770 I'm also pre diabetic and all was said to me is to lose weight since I'm overweight and ok that's fair enough but there's no real guidance towards a proper path. Fasting and exercising can go a long way but understanding your situation in particular is also important.
SO great You found a real Dr who is looking at Your whole body & all it's systems to help You use food as medicine to be Your very best self!! WOOT WOOT
The only response is loose weight. Instead of saying start eating as you are already a diabetic .
This man is an international treasure, protect him at all costs

Walk walk walk..every day 30 to 60min. 5/7 , who is with me?
Genau richtig ist es jeden Tag 1 Stunde oder eine halbe Stunde zu spazieren oder laufen.❤
I usually walk anywhere between 10-13k + steps/day
Thank you @elpidam.2711 . I'm with you. 😄
I would love to... but my bad knee will not let me... I used to walk 5-7 miles daily.
I can't walk because I'm too tired
I did. Prediabetes diagnosed in 2020. Now normal sugar levels for some time. These videos helped me. I was fat with 40 BMI no sports, not even walking, unhealthy junk food and sugar drinks. Since then i completely changed my lifestyle. I do gym 4x a week, martial arts trainings 3-4 times a week, quit driving car in the city and started walking a lot, my average is 13k steps per day. Much better eating habits and no sugar drinks like cola. I feel 100 times better. Last saturday i did 80km bike ride. Do it before it's too late. These things can improve if you don't let them go too far.
Ich finde das toll, mach das weiter so!❤
Well done.
Thanks for the inspiration!❤
Diabetes reversible too.. In 2023 there was a study, 70% of participants got healed by a 2-month 800 calorie vegan diet
Thanks for your valuable explanation about how to control diabetic by maintaining Carbs,Proteins,and Fats with food habits and limited excercise. Thank you very much once again for your talk.
What is most impressive about Dr. Ekberg is not just his knowledge of health, but his ability to write PERFECTLY backwards on a glass panel to illustrate his point.
I believe there is a process that will automatically reverse or make the correction for the viewer.
Let me start by saying thank you Dr. Sten, you saved my life! And please keep doing what you are doing, you ARE making a difference, i'm LIVING proof! Thanks to your teachings i've lost a good 100lbs since January and my blood pressure has gone from 193/97 to normal and obviously i've never felt better. This is the third time i've lost 100lbs in my 52 years, I thought I was just born to be fat. I lost weight the other times by pure willpower hiking mountainous terrain for an hour a day and mostly eating whole grains and no fat. Basically I starved myself. Now I eat the way you suggest with very low carbs, garden grown veggies and more healthy fats than i've ever eaten in my life. Keeping to an 18/6 feeding window and i'm never craving foods like I have my entire life. It's a MIRACLE! Thank you again, my 84 year old father thanks you too, he's lost about 30lbs. I only wished I knew how to eat this way 30 years ago!!
Thank you @grahamb5769. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it. The purpose of my channel is to explain the principles and mechanisms of health in such a way that you start gaining an understanding and respect for the miracle that is the human body. I spend so much time on it because when we get "the why" and start owning the mechanisms we become empowered for life . Comments like yours makes it all worthwhile. 😄
@@drekberg you are very welcome! I neglected to say that you are a very gifted teacher, so easy to understand. I'm doing what I can to spread your message.
@@drekberg Yep.. Cardiologists i've seen are taxed with too many patients, and not enough time since their proprietors optimize their revenue. Am buoyed by your teachings of insulin actions and balance, and advancements in eradication of atherosclerotic plaque. Cyclodextrin (Cavadex) and the squalus compound family ( Trodusquemine and friends) are on the horizon if clinical practice can catch up. Seems the Insurance folks control money... and create an illusion of complicity with a "standard of care" that centers on drugs alone and never any emphasis on food. Surely the guy standing next to us with the gasoline/firehose is to blame .... Just have to see us as responsible for what goes in our mouths. We need to choose wisely. Thanks for the awareness.
Love your videos! I consider you one of my teachers! I always feel welcomed when you repeatedly welcome us as your health champions. I listen to you through out my week.

In the year january 2020, my youngest son died from Fentanyl. I lost my oldest brother in 2013 from heroine. But 2020 did me in and by October that year my only living brother also overdosed. My youngest brother died from suicide in 1981. The reason why I am bringing all this up here is because of the cortisol changes in my body. At one time I was 89 pounds and now I am 158 pounds. When my son died, I slept about 4 hours the entire week. My PCP would not help me with anything. Then right after he died, we had the pandemic so I was totally alone. I couldn't afford therapy online. So I suffered wandering around my house like a zombie from lack of sleep and severe stress. About 2 months ago, I started exercising everyday. I ordered the A1c test and it was 5.7. I ordered it because my toes started to hurt, my skin started itching and overall I felt terrible. I have always had more valuable help from natural paths than traditional doctors. It will be a long road back but at least symbolicly I am inside the house verses on the outside looking in. This video was so valuable and well explained @Dr. Sten Ekberg. Thank you for sharing this information!
I’m so sorry you have suffered such losses. My condolences 🙏🏼
I'm so sorry you've had such a horrible time. Good on you for not giving up! Keep up the good work and Trust God for results! Blessings to you friend! ☺️❤

Well I have totally reversed my type 2. I lost 55 lbs. Work out daily. Changed my diet to high protein, moderate to low carb/low fat, less than 50g a day. No alcohol, no sugar, no processed seed oils, etc. No fast food in 18 months. I am off metformin, insulin, BP meds, etc. All I take now is daily cialis for BPH. Your videos and a couple others helped me change diet and life. I am 59 and look 40 now. A1C now is in 5.4 range and Average glucose down to 118. Still have some work to do. Thanks Doc.
that's great
I would increase animal fats
Why low fat? We need fat. Just avoid the Refined PUFA vegetable oils (now called seed oils mentioned in the video). Eat fatty cuts of steak and high fat ground beef along with real butter, bacon and eggs.
Great job!
@@stevensevek6151people with fatty liver which is common with insulin resistance have to watch fat intake

Thank you for dispelling myths like "diabetes is genetic" BRAVO!!
Yes, that is also what my doctor tells me. I am pre-diabetic and it is genetic.
We live in an extremely stressful world…by design. The only thing I’ve found that lowers stress is staying away from people as much as possible. All of them. And isn’t that a helluva way to have to live. 😳
💯 well said. Yes great doctors and advise but stress and cortisol is the root of many illness including metabolic.
I’m the same as you💪👍

Thank you @clairehachey2189 for letting me know. I really appreciate the feedback. Thanks for watching.😄
As I walked out of my Dr's office I was reading my post visit summary. It said I was pre diabetic and obese. My Dr never mentioned it. I took control of my own health, first going keto and then carnivore with intermittent fasting.
Months later when I saw my Dr for an injury I told him I quit carbs and I was surprised when he said " that's great, carbs are terrible " then when I told him about fasting it was as if a door opened and we had some great conversations. It was as if he couldn't, or wasn't allowed to bring these topics up himself, but it was ok if I did. This was at a Kaiser Permanente office and he was the lead Dr there.
I had a similar experience. We have to do something about our own issues. Theres no money in the cure, illness brings in the big bucks.
Can we say the Health Care Industrial Complex is broken, corrupt?
My guess is he probably didn’t think you would try to get healthy. Doctors are gaslit into believing that all patients are lazy and liars. Our family doctor is the best. Retired Air Force, and is married to a nutritionist. He’s also very anti pharma. One day he told us that the only difference between doctors and non, is better test taking skills. He said they’re not smarter than anyone. We haven’t seen him in years. Our family only goes to the doc for catastrophic situations like car accident or broken bones. After the last 4 years, we’ve become more healthy. Dr. Ekberg and many other pod castors have been huge in our learning how to be healthier and happier. Our kids are super healthy too. No vax, no check ups. Just heathy eating, sunlight and home school.
It’s great when we get affirmation from others around us. Especially a doctor. I had gestational diabetes 4 out of my last 5 pregnancies. Didn’t have it last time at age 42, and I owe it all to Dr. Ekberg. My OB was shocked I didn’t have it. Low carb, IF , weight lifting.
Sorry for the long response, it’s early and the coffee just kicked in. 😂
Thank you @marklanders630. Congratulations.😄
@@melissajackson9458awesome. I’m inspired.
In years past my Dr's never mentioned I was borderline diabetic. As I have learned thru time how to eat healthier ,I am now borderline prediabetic level. I am continuing to work on eating healthier. Happy I am going in the right direction.
Is fasting BG of 110-115 borderline T2?
@@JohnWest4 yes - Insulin sensitive individuals will be around 65-80. And very very important to do Fasting insulin... to see how much insulin your body is using to try and keep your blood sugar at 110-115. That is the other part of the equation as is the A1c. Vit D/Hormone D is very very important in reversing this- as are the B vitamins. Intermittent fasting and low carb eating and walking solves this for most people fairly quickly.
WALK!
30-60 minutes daily!!
The best guy on UA-cam regarding health topics, nobody explains that well, in a time there are so many poor medics (up to date) and you have to research by yourself and try out what helps you best
Dr Sten Eckberb is, by far, the best methabolic doctor, professor and researcher on that area.
I've been diabetic II for 17 years. Now trying to reverse it on no meds....just applying Xr Eckberg's knowledge . No carbs, exercise, keto.
Dr Eckberb deserves international recognition. His honesty has no limits.
Someone please tell me why Dr. Sten Ekberg isn't US Surgeon General until this hugely costly health problem is solved in America.
Anyone? (Many thanks to Dr. Sten Ekberg for helping me and others get metabolized and lose weight and stay away from carbohydrates and bad/inflammatory oils, and do intermittent fasting. Some folks think I'm weird. I don't care. I feel great I've lost ~60 lbs. and my wife and I both weigh what we did when we were teenagers, ~45 years ago. Can't thank the dry-wit and sometimes hilariously humorous, Dr. Sten Ekberg, my favorite YT channel.
Because it's in their interest for us to be sick and die early, duh.

Je suis d'accord avec vous. J'ai appris beaucoup de ce docteur.
Moi aussi.
I was diagnosed as pre diabetic in April. With the help of your advice, I’m down 19 pounds, and my A1C lowered half a point to 5.3, putting me out of the pre-diabetic range. I still have more weight to lose to be even healthier. Dr. Ekberg, your videos are so very helpful!
My doc mentioned that I was now just barely pre diabetic based on regular blood testing. She didn’t say anything about diet changes, meds, or ask any follow up questions. I fired her with a quickness and am now seeking a new primary care physician.
Good for you 😊
MY GP was fascinated with which statin was for me. I showed what diet and exercise changes can do - numbers were within limits, but he pressed on, thinking that you can't ever stop.. or the post-statin backlash will be seen with vengeance. With a coronary calcium score, there should be mandatory diet a and exercise training. Instead the score is used to ensure compliance.
Yes!..good for you..but you will do better to watch Dr. Ekburg too. You will learn a lot more from him then any doctor out there who all victims of the drug companies.
Best one I have had in 10 yr.s of trying said, "why are u most concerned about that? Worry about your high colesterol." 😮
@@johnnychipello919 I have been. I like the way he describes how sugar is metabolized, but don't get why fruit ( largely fructose powered) doesn't become a liver tax, but hfcs ( 5% more Fructose than sucrose) is frightfully scary?? Would fruit juice lack any fiber that might temper the glycemic spike? So fruit with fiber is tempered, but fruit juice spikes liver more?
I went to the dentist for 2 wisdom removals. They asked who my primary was? Dr. Sten Ekberg I said.
18 months

High Fat, Moderate Protein, very low carb. Removed Man made processed poisons. Feed in a 5 hour window fasting 19/5 religiously. Satiated without any hunger.
6000 steps Tues, Thurs & Saturday.

Dr. Ekberg gives the best and most balanced health/diet information on UA-cam, but I get the idea that he skews toward not scaring off most of his audience by underemphasizing low to no carb, and warning about the toxins in plants. I don't eat plants anymore, but still find watching his videos very worthwhile.
The longest lived most healthy populations on the planet eat almost entirely plants and next to no meat, eggs, fish or dairy. Your diet sounds appalling Koni term. We need phytochemicals
Just hearing the word stress… immediately stresses me out! Anyone else?

Yo también y oír hablar de enfermedades también
I went from 5.7 to 5.2 in 2 months!!
Drank ACV (15-17mL) with 17oz of water or more water before and during meals.
Ate veggies first like lettuce or cucumber. Then protein. Carbs last, if any.
Walk 45+ minutes AFTER eating.
Went low carb for the most part but still had my boba but 50% sweetness and only drank half of the drink. Drank the next half the next day. I’ll eat white rice once or twice a week.
Carbs make me soooo sleepy. I hate food coma, it’s not a good sign!!
This is great but.. try and get a fam physician on board to acquire all these blood tests …
She goes by the guidelines, otherwise I’m a stress to the already stressed out healthcare system. Yet here I am trying to PREVENT a disease and be Less a burden to the health system !
I just became prediabetic in the last year. I am a very thin woman who eats better than most Americans. My doctor thinks it’s the medication that I have to take that is causing it so she’s not concerned. She just told me to cut back on my carbs and sugar.
My A1C went from 5.3 to 5.6. I was shocked because I eat low carb and I’m very strict. I don’t take any medications and I’m 57. I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong! I really want to reverse it!!
I’ve gone carnivore because I kept getting severe diverticulitis eating keto with lots of of fresh organic vegetables and salads. I even made my own dressing no oils. I have extreme stress due to caring for my severely disabled son who’s 33 years old. Your breathing technique has literally saved me. My blood pressure has been reduced almost to normal. I’m also walking 45-60 minutes a day. I’m going to go back to one meal a day and see if this helps my weight loss stall. For some reason veggies cause bloating and inflammation. I have been diagnosed with non alcoholic fatty liver too.
Wait you did no oils and eats healthy and still git worse??, how you getting well
Good for you!!! ❤
Thank you Dr Ekberg! Through diet and exercise recommend from your videos, I’ve gone from a 6.9 to 5.9 in just 6 months- my goal is 4.5 and will maintain this diet for long term
What kind of diet??
6 years ago I was pre-diabetic, no sugar and few simple carbs for a year - at next annual checkup, no longer pre-diabetic. Occasional small amounts of sugar not a problem.
I so appreciate you doing these videos. i am pre diabetic and am changing my lifestyle diet. Thank you so much. I never want to take a med.
My A1C went from 5.3 to 5.6. I was shocked because I eat low carb and I’m very strict. I don’t take any medications and I’m 57. I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong! I really want to reverse it!!
I was prediabetic in 2018... yet only told this year!! Since then I believe I had a TIA event and now suffering various issues which can be connected to that. It was me, not any docs who linked my symptoms to a stroke! No wonder I don't really trust them! Anyway I've changed my lifestyle, taking low doses of BP and antiplatelet meds with a view to coming off in near future. Am feeling benefits of lifestyle changes already.
35yo male here, 6'1'', and I have always been thin and fit my whole life, despite eating everyday sugary food, cake, sodas, snacks..
I did some blood tests at 29yo, and my Hba1c came back at 5.7%. Prediabetes on the way.
I thought, if I already have prediabetes at 29, what's gonna happen when I'm 40?
So I quit all of that junk food and now my HBa1c is 5.0%, and I've never felt better.
Lesson here? Just because you are young thin and fit, doesn't mean you can just do whatever you want with your body and not worry about your health.
We should always eat healthy, and have medical checks, blood work, etc etc..
Wow thank you for this comment.. I don’t feel alone, I have almost exact same problem. I did some research which has changed how I see diabetes. There are thin people with a condition called generalised dyslipidemia who have very little fat and because of this they get type 2 diabetes. From my research in watching doctors, I do think it’s a problem in how our livers are processing. I have ordered Fatty-15 so will see if that has an impact. I think for thin athletic people who become insulin resistant there’s more to the story than just bad diet but something essential our bodies are doing wrong, I am hoping changing diet with no-carb and supplements will help. I am surprised that liver detox tablets are helping my skin and eyes, so I recommend looking into liver detox tablets for 1-2 weeks as well as look into c15 fatty acid. All the best.

Hand surgery in ‘23 and antibiotics were in the IV as a matter of course. As a protective measure, I fermented organic apple juice in the yogurt maker for 48 hours along with Florastor…Sacchamyces boulardi. This prevented GI flare ups. At age 81, I’m protective of my microbiome. This was after months of eating L.Reuteri yogurt. I was pleased to get through this process without aftermath.
I am so thankful for Florastor during taking antibiotics. It prevents getting a yeast infection after antibiotics..
Can you buy this? Or have to make UT?
Dr. Ekberg. Usted es el mejor expositor de metabolismo que he conocido. Lo felicito. Soy el Dr. Pretto anestesiólogo y master in nutrition. Me uniré a su canal. Gracias.. Se lo he recomendado a mis pacientes.
The highest my A1C got was 5.3. I have since cut out sugar, white flour, ultra processed stuff, and vegetable oils for less inflammation pain. I have lost weight in the process. Before a recent surgery, my fasting blood sugar was 81.
What foods you eat? Isn't 5.3 ok?
Did you still have olive oil and cooked in it? Coconut oil ok? Ghee?
My a1c 2 month before was 6 and my body weight is 91 after watching your video and following your suggestion my body weight is now 78 and feeling great
My A1C last April was 5.5.
My A1C this April was 5.9.
I was shocked! I couldn't figure out why. I barely eat 35-40 carbs per day And that it's just protein, fat and non starchy vegetables. Some nuts nothing else. In other words, I was still very low carb. I do not eat grains of any kind or sucrose or fructose.
Mid January, I experienced gastrointestinal issues for almost two and a half months before my blood test. It was stressing me out. I'm quite sure the stress Increased my blood sugar and my A1C. It's just not possible to have a high A1C, with the diet I eat.
Same thing happened to me. Last year mine was 5.3 and this year it’s 5.6. I’m 57 years old. My Dr said it’s because I weigh 162. I need to lose 20 pounds ASAP, or she said I’ll be in trouble.
You may have liver issues, as the good doctor said, get a fasting insulin blood test, to check
Same here, I was 5.7 in November and in January 6.3. Going soon for another test, to see where I stand. I’m baffled.
It could be stress, do you sleep good,?
If you eat low carb and healthy fats your red blood cells may be living longer and that results in higher A1C. It is ok.
I am prediabetic and never got a lesson on what foods to eat/avoid. Common sense put aside,it gets confusing. Way too easy to pop metformin (4 for me a day). Choices catch up with you...thank you Dr. Ekberg for the assist!
You are welcome @jenniferporasky292. I hope it was helpful. Thanks for watching
@@drekberg one video and it is so helpful
My Hba1c is 5.2 and my goal is 5 by the end if this year. Yes it's not in the high range at all but I have got here after many changes in my overall diet and I feel better than ever.
Your A1c could actually go up ... if your red blood cells are living longer. Having a 5.2 A1c is excellent, it better than 95 percent of the population. Don't get caught up in a silly numbers game.
Thank you @ManishaPatel-bn4bx. Congratulations 😄
My A1C is 4.2. 99% whole foods and exercise for 60 years. Aim low. I like moderate distance cycling around 30-45 miles and weights. Occasional hikes and walks.
Namaste Manisha. I am an Indian female. Please help me understand this better. My HbA1c has recently been diagnosed as 6.3. I am so disturbed. Please help me and tell me what dietary changes I need to make. I hope you read this and help me
Thank YOU!!! This is just what I needed to hear!! I have been controlling it with a 4.7-4.8! To me (& you, I’m sure)this is fantastic because I WAS at 6.7 & my Dr. said, Oh No!! You’re fine, we will give you meds once you hit 7.0!!
Now through some major stress in my life, I’m constantly hovering at 6.5!! My Grandfather died with no legs below the knees!! I’m NOT GOING THERE!! I absolutely hate exercise but apparently it will now be my best friend along with probiotics & of course NO CARBS or SUGAR!!
Again, Thank you!! I was ready to give up & do the medicine route because I tried …… Now that I have been educated with such in-depth details, I can do this!! Many, Many Thanks to you Dr. Ekberg!!
Thank you for talking about prediabetes. I am an 80 year old female. I have had an a1c reading of 6.1 +/- for many years. I have not been overweight . I started watching your videos about one year ago and have been eating a Keto diet ever since then. My problem is I have not been able to lower my a1c. All my other tests are good including my insulin that is 2.6. My glucose levels are around 100. My HOMA-ir is .64. What can I do to get my a1c down?
eat no grains, carbs, like bread, oatmeal. But instead eat high fat yoghrt, salmon, avocado, chicken, beef
Thank you @jeanpaultongeren125. Exactly. Just remember to feed the gut too. 😄
This is my thread right here!! Love this stuff and feel so much better eating this way!!!! Tons of greek yogurt, love love salmon avocados every morning w eggs n yummy veggie filled steak n chicken stir fry too. Feel better
@@drekberg Isn't it true that we only need fiber if we eat the foods that contain the fiber. We can digest meat just fine without any fiber intake. All the carnivore doctors have pretty much proven that. Haven't they?
Oatmeal is metabolized slow just like quinoa. They do not spike up the glucose
Kimchi and sauerkraut!!!
The best explanation about diabetes!
Thank you @thomassaddul. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it. The purpose of my channel is to explain the principles and mechanisms of health in such a way that you start gaining an understanding and respect for the miracle that is the human body. I spend so much time on it because when we get "the why" and start owning the mechanisms we become empowered for life . Comments like yours makes it all worthwhile. 😄
Super presentation. Super excellent knowledge shared to everyone. A million thanks to uou doctor. From d Philippines with LOVE❤❤❤
When my (now replaced) doctor told me I was prediabetic, he of course put me on metformin. Then I learned about IF and LC thanks to Dr. Ekberg; when I brought these up with the physician, he said both were "dangerous" and that I needed to eat "as much fruit and whole grains as you want." What??
Thank you so much. I have my result comparison up and I lowered my cholesterol from 277 to 200 in a year. With this channels info I can lower it more. My doctor has NOT talked to me on how.
Lowering cholesterol is bad...
The idea that cholesterol is bad is based on bunk "science" from 60 years ago.
You need cholesterol for:
• Making new cells
• Making all hormones
• Making and protecting cells in the brain
• Supporting your immune system
• Supporting cell signalling
• Enabling Vitamin D synthesis
• Producing bile for digestion
• Regulating gene expression
If you want to make it harder for your body to do any of the things listed above, then go ahead and continue to try to lower your cholesterol.
If you don't believe me, just ask your doctor to print out the best study that shows cholesterol is bad for you...
@@Hertz2laugh What about the bad cholesterol? I thought there was good cholesterol and bad cholesterol.
Thank you @ChrissyErica. That's great. Just keep in mind that the total cholesterol number is not the most important thing to look at. Do a search for some of my cholesterol videos for more info 😄
@@ChrissyErica Such a good question!
Think about these questions a little bit.
It will help you get a better idea of what is going on.
Imagine you own a bus company. 🚎
People come to your station, get on your buses, and get a ride to somewhere on your bus route. 👍🏻
So, the bus loads up
The bus drives out
The bus drops off
The bus comes back
Then the cycle repeats.👍🏻
Now, imagine that one day the city you are in experiences riots - some people start smashing things and starting fires. 🔥😱
Now, imagine that one of your buses gets attacked by the rioters - they smash it up and light it on fire!
So, the bus comes back to the station banged up, on fire, and putting nasty smoke into the air.
Now, at this point, what is the more accurate word to describe the bus that the rioters attacked:
If it were up to you, would you describe the bus as a "bad bus" or a "damaged bus"?
It's a damaged bus, right? It started out just fine, and was doing a great job, and it was providing a much needed aervice. - it wasn't a "bad" thing.
But now it is on fire and is putting smoke out all over the place which is causing damage to the things around it. But that doesn't mean the bus is "bad", it's just damaged and needs to either be repaired or taken out of service.
What is the real problem in this scenario, the bus that is on fire or the rioters that are starting fires?
This is like cholesterol.
There are no "good" or "bad" cholesterols. But their can be functional or damaged cholesterol.
But the cholesterol don't damage themselves - something else is attacking and damaging the cholesterol.
So, the problem isn't cholesterol.
The problem is the thing that is causing a riot - something else is starting fires all over your body, and your cholesterol is being damaged from it.
I hope this helps.
There is only cholesterol - it can be damaged, but that doesn't mean there is a "bad" cholesterol.
The problem is not with the cholesterol, the problem is with the things that damage the cholesterol.
If you can "stop the riots," you will also stop your cholesterol from being damaged.
The so-called "bad cholesterol" is just a *_SYMPTOM_* or result of something else - there are "rioters" that are damaging your "buses".
We can talk about the "rioters" if you want, but the point here is that thinking about cholesterol as being "good" or "bad" misses the point that there is something else that is the real problem.
Once you start thinking in terms of "healthy cholesterol" and "damaged" cholesterol ", you automatically realize that you need to focus on what is causing your cholesterol to become damaged, instead of trying to deal with the cholesterol directly.
Don't judge the bus just because some a•sholes beat it up, judge the as•holes.
In other words, calling damaged cholesterol "bad" is like calling someone who got mugged "bad". No, the person who got mugged is a victim. The real "bad guy" is the one who is doing the mugging.
Hope this helps.
Very happy to answer any other questions about cholesterol, the studies behind it, why so many doctors think it is bad, etc etc. Feel free to ask anything.
@@Hertz2laugh Great explanation! On keto for over a year & was doing really good with fatty grass fed rib eye, Kerry's butter, eggs, bacon, except I became a LMHR (Lean mass hyper responder). No family heart disease histories. But, my doctors freaked out and scared the heck out of me. I am now cutting down on the fat to almost low fat and feel horrible - stomach bloating, aches, etc. I am not interested in going the rounds with cardiologists. Will be watching ALL of Dr Ekberg's Cholestrol videos now. Thanks.
Thank you so much for this video. I think that all someone need to know about diabetes has been considered. Even my poor English, I really understand. Thank you again.🙏
I'm grateful for this insight. Applying this "in principle," even while "I was being lazy about it," I dropped from 7.5 to 6.2 in 4 months - to the surprise of my dictor, beccause I didn't swallow the prescribed metformin. All I need to do now is 'stope being lazy about it'. 😊 Thanks doc! 😊
Also people don’t realize that some cancers feed off carbohydrates. Minimal carbs are needed in one day.
Thank you @deborahmillette. True 😄
All cancer cells need glucose to strive especially solid tumors. That's how contrast CT scans find tumors. The contrast , normally iodine, is mixed with glucose in the iv injection. Cancer cells are cells that changed to a fermentation anaerobic process to produce energy. Some tumors also survive on glutamine and that is harder to avoid than sugars so one needs to take in glutamine inhibitors such as high doses of vitamin C complex intravenously or other supplements which inhibits glutamine. Angiogenesis inhibitors are also a must.
And if you got the covid "vaccine" - you are much more likely to have turbo cancer.
My A1C went from 5.3 to 5.6. I was shocked because I eat low carb and I’m very strict. I don’t take any medications and I’m 57. I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong! I really want to reverse it!!

Dr. Sten, thank you! You have changed my life with your knowledge. I'm living a completely different life knowing what to eat how to eat and when to eat. God bless you you're a life saving man, never stop with your videos they are life saving!
Hi can you please share what you mean by how to eat, when to eat and what to eat? Thankyou in advance 🙏🏻
I reversed my type 2 in six weeks by adopting the carnivore lifestyle. Never eat another carb. Had it for 25 years
So you are probably still insulin resistant and eating in an unhealthy way if you are hiding from carbohydrates
All descriptions fit in on me. I've tried everything, weight and issues won't go. Keto, no carbs, Fasting 3 weeks did nothing, which surprised me.
Good morning Dr. Ekberg! Hope you have a great day! 😊

I am also the one with huge benefit from this channel. I am now saying "why" to every health related agenda.
I wish I become a Rich man in money so as I visit dr this doctor physically and test more of body function.
I was type 2 diabetes A1C was 13.5 and glucose 480 i fully reverse it to 5.4 in 4 months eating lots meat and fish and avocado yummy my goal its A1C of 4.5 i already lost 60 punds in 4 months i have the paper work from doctor to prove it in case some people say its lie i was going doctor once a month cause i work for the lab that process the blood result

Thank you Dr. Ekberg for your wise advice. I have this question: l am a thin person, my blood sugar is
My God I have been pre-diabetic for 8 years. I just found out when I checked my HbA1c 6.4 and triglycerides and all were so high. The doctor has recommended statins first because of high LDC and exercise and nutrition changes. I pray
Thank you @dang9313. Just become a student of health and take charge. I have over 600 videos that will explain how the body works. Most of them are about metabolic health. Good luck. 😄
HbA1c of 6.4 is Type II diabetes, not prediabetes.
Statins will make it worse...
LDLc means there is something damaging your LDL.
Imagine you own a grocery store.
All your employees are healthy and happy.
One day the employees who are responsible for unloading the delivery trucks start getting sick.
It is all the same sickness, and they only get sick when they unload the trucks.
What is the smart thing to do?
1) Forcefully lower the number of employees who unload the trucks because the employees are a problem.
2) Investigate the trucks to see if they are causing your employees to become sick?
LDLc are like the sick employees - they are not the source of the problem, they are a symptom of a problem.
You don't want to lower your cholesterol just because some of the cholesterol are damaged.
You want to find out what is damaging your otherwise healthy cholesterol, and fix that instead.
Please don't take the statin. Your cholesterol will be fine when You stop all the fructose& sugars.
Dr Sten has lots of videos to help You start to eat for health instead of eating for death.
You & Your life are worth some work & time to change how You eat.
He has many vids that help You start cutting down on processed junk & eating more real food.
You got this!!🤩🏆
Lower triglycerides (and raise HDL) by lowering carbohydrates to 20 total grams per day or less and increasing beef, butter, bacon and eggs.

Well I agree 100% with at least the beef, grass fed if You can afford it & eggs, pasture raised if at all possible.
I am sensitive to dairy & now pork so I don't have the butter at this stage or bacon but I am doing well.
My A1C is normal now along with all my other numbers & my weight is steady for 4 yrs; I am height/weight appropriate.
I feel very good about my lifestyle & highly advise everyone to go low carb without the processed stuff, seed oils, grains & sugars plus I can not have any dairy.

My blood pressure went high for the first time at 63 years old (I am now 66) and been working since 2017 on Keto, then Ketovore, and since 2022 Carnivore. I am very disciplined of my health for the last 40 years. Gave up processed foods 30 years ago. Eat 2 meals a day on carnivore. Never do any junk food and have not had any alcohol since 1993. Love good fats. Sleep very well. NOTHING WORKS FOR ME IN 5 years to loose this 50 pounds I gained in one year, to get off this BP meds for three years.
Thank you, Dr. Ekberg! Base on your recommendations I lost weight (around 90 lb), normalized blood sugar and changed my diet. Intermittent Fasting should be renamed as Intermittent Food Consumption System (or anything what can eliminated word - fasting). I believe, words are very important. The Fasting has meaning to start process and to finish it. We should not finish intermittent fasting. It is type of food consuming process and it shouldn’t have the end meaning. Thank you again, Doc!

Yo tomo una NP thyroid diaria. Camino largas millas unas 3 veces a la semana y ahora mi insulina esta en las manana en ayunas a 125😢😢😢 Estoy muy triste pero seguire sus consejos doctor bello Dios lo bendiga!!
I'd suggest reading "Dark Calories" by Catherine Shanahan. It provides an interesting look at how high PUFA oils mess up metabolism, leading to high blood sugar as a battle goes on for energy production in the cells. It's not just the carbs fault in those who have gotten ill with T2D. The carbs are just the smoke from the PUFA gun. Witness the spread of type 2 diabetes throughout the world as seed oils get substituted for good fats in native populations that did well enough on their previous high carb diet.
First they convince you that saturated fat is bad. Then they get you to eat salads, drowning in seed oil, and T2D goes UP, not down.
Interesting! I will look at that book.
What about olive oil or ghee or a avocado?????
Is fructose fruit???
What do people eat for breakfast?

My doctor refused to do a insuline test on me, he said it was to much of a hassle to do it. So he only took glucose lvl wich was good ofcourse and measured my tryglericedes and cholestrerol lvls thru a bloodtest from the lab.
Most complete information on IR so far. Thank you so much doctor you don't know how much benefit I got for my health from your knowledge that you share with lots of care. God Bless Dear ! Keep up the great work.
You need to emphasize low carbs and intermittent fasting -- these are sufficient to reverse most prediabetes. Your discussion of the special testing done in your business is applicable to the small percentage of people who don't respond to the above. I reversed my prediabetes in two months without special testing (only fasting insulin, glucose, calculating HOMA-IR).
Thank you @fredhearty1762. I appreciate your feedback. I have done 100's of videos on low carb and IF. Like you said. The specialized testing is the next step for the stubborn cases, but also for the rising number of people with autoimmunity and other non-IR issues. Also make sure you check out my video library. There are over 600 videos organized by topic and play list. 😄 ua-cam.com/channels/Ie2pR6PE0dae9BunJ38F7w.html
