83 years old...Lego since 2017, lost a daughter to MS then fell off. On third day tomorrow eating sardines...thank you for helping me get back on keto. Blessings.
4 tablespoons of MCT oil per day works beautifully. My Ketones go to 1.5! i would have have to fast 48 hours and excercise to get those numbers bc of bad insulin resistance and lots of daily stress factors. And the brain fog is gone, i sleep deeply. And by day 2 my hunger is gone. This is amazing 😂😂😂 best keto cheat ever ❤ 👏 🎉
@@debbieodonnell2482 i suggest start very slowly with the MCT oil. Like every 3 days up the dose just a pinch and eat with other foods so it absorbs slowly. First just dip a small spoon and eat that. Next time eat a few drops and so on. If necessary take your meals with digestive enzymes. The effect of MCT oil is short, it wears out in 4 to 5 hours. Don't give up 😀💪
@@awesometulips9427ty, when I did full on keto 2019, it was a fast party so never delved into mct's. Ready to try tho, may help MS symptoms but what she's teaching about MCT and brain fuel is okay, back to school cause now mom has AZ.
22:45 minutes to get to slide about MCT oil turns into KETONES. At age 71 I elect to put 1 tbs MCT oil in my coffee 3 times a day. FASTING made easier. If I get rapid BM's --- with zero hunger GREAT. Decrease appetite, improve memory, lower glucose, lower inflammation, decrease cortisol, decrease blood sugar. MCT oil 3 day or 72 hour FAST.
I managed 7 years doing OMAD, ( 1:hour window of eating ) which resulted in a total weight loss of 39 lbs . Very slow and steady. Not kidding myself that it was all fat.😂 No MCT oil but I was using coconut oil in my cooking. Mooved onto pastures new, as I didn't need to lose any more weight. I also managed extended fasts that peaked at 48 hours. Felt awesome, thought I'd miss eating, far from it Good luck in finding what best suits you. Thank you for uploading and sharing.
Ah... I feel so much better, more normal! I was thinking I was just a failure. My 90-100 glucose numbers early, if I'm not fasting, is not horrible. I've gotten the glucose down to 56 and ketones to over 4 but this week has just been bad. I'm encouraged again! Thank you !
Great video!!! I’ve been taking MCT oil for years but never like that, can’t wait to try it!! I’m doing Dr. Lisa’s May challenge which started with a three day water fast, felt so good I was hoping to push it to Sunday for 7 days. I pressure washed my house and OH the pain in my lower back and legs, EXCRUCIATING!!! Went to Dr and got meds for it, “Must be taken with food” 😖😖😖😖so I water fasted for 5 days and I am so happy I succeeded, not nearly as hard as I thought and I plan to do it first of every month now!! Best day I had was glucose 60 & ketones 4.6 Autophagy was my goal to reset my set point!!! Cleaned up all those cells, lost 7 pounds but now will finally get my butt off 160 YAAAAAY!!!! Thank you Dr Boz for all you do!!♥️♥️♥️
Great info thank you for the MCT Oil C8/C10 experience. So I started it right away, also with using Sardines also ❤ Update I started this Sunday May 7 doing MCT oil challenge I have lost 7.5lbs ❤😊 it is coming off quickly I never felt better going to keep going on Yes I also work out daily at the gym and do 2 1/2 mile walks daily looking forward to see how I do by Sunday Mother’s Day. Plan to enjoy my family then go right back into this challenge it is working wonders for me ❤ Thank you Dr. Boz
Yes very odd, I am taking 3 table spoons a day to try to stop the 1-6 seizures I have had since 2004 after a brain injury from numerous blows to the head. I may be able to take more, I had read or heard one of the doctors recommend the 3tble spns.
@@LifeIsWonderful675 My guess is she has so many of the capsules made for the business that that is why she used them. But definitely a hassle Versus the quart of oil in larger quantities. I usually just turn the bottle upside down and squeeze it for a bit to add MCT to coffee I sorta estimate how much. I know it’s at least a table spoon or Two a day lately. It’s been a long time since I used it consistently. Mixed keto carnivore diet with days of standard American. So not good. This last week I did fasting and am trying to clean it up significantly. I hope this helps your seizures. That has to be pretty tough. There is a very good doc on ‘Low carb down under’ that is often used when specialist can’t figure out problems. He maybe worth checking out if you don’t already. Dr Paul Mason I think his name is. Extremely knowledgeable. He did a good video with Dr Shawn Baker not that long ago covering seed oils and cholesterol.
Please see Dr. Sten Ekberg awesome videos on autophagy, they are so good!!! All about the benefits of fasting…he says several times, “if I were in an automobile accident and had a brain injury, I would FAST” fasting is the fountain of youth, with no food coming into the body, the body scurries around eating whatever it can find, calcium deposits, old dead cells, cancer cells, arthritis cells, and excess brain tissue from a brain injury accident!! He is so awesome, check him out and very best to you!!!🙂
Maybe she doesn’t want to eat straight oil. If I was taking it in coffee then sure, but definitely more convenient in a capsule if you’re only having oil through out the day. I feel like it would go down easier for me in a capsule especially taking that much.
Somewhat new subscriber. What I so appreciate about you, Dr Boz, is that you are willing to follow the science, actually pursue the truth of the science, and are willing to change your mind based on the science.
That's the only reason I began following Dr. Boz. There are hundreds of "doctors" out there spouting techniques and methods and foolproof methods, but Dr. Boz is so real and transparent. She's like the really smart "numbery" girl next-door…😊
MCT C8, C10, and C12 - MCTs get their names from the number of carbons in their tails (8, 10, and 12): C8: The Energy Booster C10: The Antifungal Phenomenon C12: The Antimicrobial Force The Bottom Line: C8 Vs. C10 Vs. C12
Thank you for all your information. I just purchased your work book to help me with getting better with my ketosis. Also purchased your 4 bottle deal of MCT OIL Pills. You and Dr. Mindy are changing lives. Working up to a 72 hr fast. I have sardines but haven't got the courage to open them😂
@@melindah1121 you can do it either way. I break mine instead of swallowing that many pills 😉. I only use the capsule to keep with me instead of a bottle of liquid MCT.
You are supposed to slowly add it starting with 1 teaspoon so that your gut gets used to it. Also it's better to have easily digestible food when you drink it
Dr. Boz, last year at age 73, I did hi-fat, low carb diet and did IF. I also put a TBSP of MCT oil and Ghee butter in my coffee. 3 months later, my serology showed Triglycerides of 180, HDL- 54. I refused to take statins.
Doc I credit you for motivating me to complete the two 36hr fasts I’ve done so far, the second one was totally doable without any MCT oil. But it scares me to think of muscle loss during a weeklong fast. In our 40s it takes the heck of a lot of work to rebuild muscle loss.
👋🏼 I have to say this may be true. Another IF/Keto Doc explained at KetoCon that if we fast a lot and stay low carb for a long period of time our bodies can decide to stop burning fat as fuel and instead store it causing dimpling on the skin. I’m 55 and have been IF-ing (varying fasts from 15hr-3 days) since 2017 and I’ve acquired these pesky dimples and it is VERY hard to get rid of! I’m resistance training, doing yoga, walking and just started hyper-volting the heck out of my thighs 2 days ago 🙏🏼 this helps!
I really haven’t found a reason or motivation to fast longer than 36hrs - 40 hrs. I am not sure it is benign to fast longer than that unless for serious medical reasons like Dr Longo’s studies on cancer patients and Dr Boz’s experience with the 72hr fasts for her mom. I would consider some sort of targeted fast for a very specific medica reason. Otherwise, for regular maintenance, 36-40hrs is a couple of times a month is good for me.
Have your son try Pilates to strengthen those inner stabilization muscles which will help support those larger back muscles, so he doesn’t have to rely on those large muscles to do all the work.
Here from new mexico.......Thank you for your information. I had the calcium score test and it was zero. congratulations on your new home. florida is beautiful. I lived there for a few years.
Dr Boz Thank you for the order… Frequently I work 12-hours night-shift ,3 to 6 nights consecutively within a week. By God’s grace and MCT ….believing for success!!!
@@bobbieshort6346 - maybe because she needs to sell the batch that was mislabeled. I have them in my shopping cart - wondering if the convenience of being able to pop a pill throughout the day is worth the added cost vs. buying just the liquid in a bottle.
Good morning Dr. My name is Mike I’m 69 years old and I had been 100 lb. Over weight. I had a gastric bypass surgery back in 2008 and had lost 100 lb. Since then I had kept it off pretty much 15 to 35 lb up and down. I had started the carnivore diet in late January and have dropped from 30in wast to 36in and dropped about 23lbs. I’m taking your MCT oil capsules now up to 6 3 times a day. Since a large part of my small intestines have been removed am I still absorbing it or do I need a take a larger amount. Thank you for taking the time out of your very busy schedule to answer me. Michael Caracappa, Bluffton SC ……. I love all of you videos 😊
Ahhh I missed the live :( I got my four bottles of mct the other day. I take six a day. I have noticed increased energy :) I also started fasting. No bathroom issues. Maybe because I’m fat adapted.
Jillyanne. So i am fat adaptive as well, are we to only do this for 7 days ? While fasting or eating a KETO below 20 carb diet... also can this replace a sardine only fast ? Can these MCT be done with thsardine fast ? Thx
@@scottbaker8530 I’d ask Dr. Boz idk. I take them as I feel three at a time. Most I’ve taken is six in a day since I got them and I eat Carnviore. Too soon to say my results as I just got them. I will probably increase them by one as I go. So far no bathroom issues. But not a doctor or expert.
A way to take MCT C8 without crunching handfuls of pills, especially for anyone who drinks coffee, is to buy powdered MCT oil and add it to your coffee. In addition to promoting ketones, it happens to be the best-tasting substitute I've found for cream. It "whittens" coffee like cream without adding any flavor or sweetness. It does cause some intestinal gas so start with half a scoop and build up. By using MCT C8 in my coffee, I extend my fast by several hours. Note, you do not want to use plain MCT. I did a double-blind study on myself. I saw a cheaper version of MCT and switched to that. After a couple of months, I noticed my weight going up. Then I realized I had accidentally switched to plain MCT and not exclusively MCT C8. Back on C8, my weight is going back down. I happen to use the 2 lb. Nutricost powder on subscription from the "big river". I also use Intentionally Bare Pure C8 Organic MCT Oil in my salad dressing. You're wasting money buying capsules if you compare $ per gram buying powder or a container of oil.
I like to put MCT oil in my coffee. It most definitely makes coffee taste better. The oil makes it taste smoother or Creamier, Kind of like you had put cream and butter in it.
I’ve been watching you for what feels like years now and I gotta say that Florida is looking so pretty on you! Thanks for all the info, your little cartoon diagrams, and your sunny disposition. 🥰☀️🌈🌴
Love your Tuesday show ( from Melbourne Australia) but it would be nice if you could start with all the wonderful questions that keep rolling through whilst you talk about your personal things like house buying and tech issues. Although they are also interesting items, so many more pertinent questions are ignored. Just some humble feedback. 🙏🏼
I have been using The Halo brand coffee creamer in my coffee right now. It is whipped cream all most to the butter stage and MCT oil. I have even eaten it by the spoon fulls...Give it a try for your coffee if you drink coffee. Great stuff...
Hello! This is my first time finding your channel. I inadvertently found out that sardines is the only thing I can break a 72 hour (or more) fast with and it doesn't cause gastric distress. My eyebrows perked up when you mentioned sardines. 😅
@foxfire1533 In my opinion mackerel works for me too but not as well as the sardines...maybe because it has more healthy fat and omega 3s? I also feel more.satiated with the sardines.
Please Dr. Boz, MCT oil vs mct caps is the first question I have regarding this much consumption of MCT oil in such a short period of time. What is better for your body - consuming all of the capsule material that holds the oil or just getting a bottle of high grade oil and using the liquid bottled contents very quickly?
Goata is great for movement performance:) Mimics natural movement patterns we see in nature and our ancestors, just like you do with ketosis and fasting! Helped with my back pain as an athlete!
"Never trust a fart". Heehee! One day at work, I passed one, but it was much more than air! I panicked and called my boss, telling her exactly what happened. Thanks God she's kind. She let me go home immediately.
TMI - while I appreciate your honesty, maybe explain your having a small human emergency, and you'd rather not say anymore. She doesn't need the Shart details. Also I hope you cleaned your chair. Peace
Hello, In reference to your son’s back injury, can you comment how systemic enzymes (I use Wobenzym ) fight inflammation…? Athletes use it to recover super fast when injured or bruised.
I remember wrestling when I was in high school. I competed at 145# and made weight every Friday afternoon before a match. After the match and during the following weekend, I could eat again after starving myself all week. I was ALWAYS overweight by 5-10 pounds the next Monday. Then the cycle would start again.
If you order the MCT make sure you order 4. I ordered 3 and thought they would send the 4th bottle with the order as some sites do. But they don't do it that way. and trying to make contact with them for over a week every day or so. I finally got a response 8 days later was can't return items that had been opened. Dr Boz team took so long to reply to my request with no real solutions to my problem. So I chalked up as a lesson well learned.
Doc iam new to this keto craze ,any way i ordered MCT and BHB from your website hopefully to recieve it soon its gonna be exciting.Continiously following your youtube channel.honestly loose 3lbs by following you in your channel but need to loose more particullarly on belly fat.Thank you and more power to you.
@@olgaleford4373 i say this because quality matters when trying to high dose oils in any way. The way they were stored and shipped matters. Otherwise the trots she talks a bit about can happen much faster. I can take smaller doses of oils that are less “quality?” And not been damaged. I “can” use Sprouts organic as a sipping oil but I use nothing of lower quality.
I use liquid MCT and I’m thinking I can take more. Maybe 3 tablespoons a day? People say why are you taking that” it makes my vacuum cleaner run” ha just enough energy to use it.
Hi Dr. Boz! I've started doing a 3-Day sardine challenge once a week, with the idea of doing it for 8 weeks. The first week, my DBR got down to 20.83 on the 3rd day. My 2nd week (this one) using the MCT 8:10, my DBR is already down to 19.5 on the very first day! The oil is definitely helping! Since I'm eating my sardines during my 4 hour eating window, would you still place me in Zone 6? Or does the Sardine-Challenge count as Zone 12? Thank you!
YAK, YAK, YAK! There’s so much talking before you get to the actual topic! Why wouldn’t you just take a tablespoon of MCT OIL 4 times a day to get the 1/4 cup a day, and not fistful of capsules?
The absolute truth. Goodness!!! She self distracts, comments on every stray thought that crosses her mind and none of it is relevant. The house, the son's wrestling/back, picking up the jar of pills, not liking taking pills, tech issues, and on and on and on, for goodness sake give the listening audience a break!
So true. I kept forwarding the video hoping she would get to the point. Reading the comments people have a lot of questions that She doesn't answer directly, nor in this video. I got sick of listening to her, yap on and on and on about nothing. I'm just as confused I will listen to someone else about the MCT, because she's too much listening work.
Thanks. I have a lot of Brain Octane. How do YOU rate it? I’m in Canada. Also, in your experience, what do you think the MCT or Brain Octane absorption is for someone after Gastric Bypass? I recently discovered your channel. I’ve had inflammation flare-ups twice a year requiring 10 days 50 mg Prednisone for few years. I am NOT requesting diagnosis, only opinions.
I was doing MCT oil in my bullet proof coffee. It started off great. My mind seemed much more clear. As time progressed I noticed I was feeling anxious. I didn’t even know what to call it at first. I took out the MCT oil and the anxious feeling left immediately. 🤷♀️
Additionally: after using MCT oil for the past month, with a slight nod to better eating but nothing close to a keto regimen, I have lost about 10 lbs. Looking forward to getting in a full keto lifestyle along with my wife. Thank you for all of the great guidance and encouragement Doc!
I had to stop putting MCT oil in my coffee as it raised my triglycerides to the point my doctor was suggesting statins. I refused statins and dropped the MCT oil. Three months later, and everything's fine again.
In my opinion most non-structural back problems are caused by inflexibility. Fighting existing stiffness during stressful episodes causes inflammation. I had sporatic back issues over the years until I made an extreme effort to work out the stiffness in my back in my 50's. I realized that despite the weight training I was doing, I had no strength in my back because there was minimal spinal mobility. I even gained half an inch in height.
As far as supplements are concerned, I never buy anything in pill form that can be purchased reliably in bulk. And as for MCT oil, I have always had issues with coconut oil and diarrhea. When I started MCT oil I bought a bottle and used no more than one teaspoon an hour, either in my coffee substitute (chicory) with my cream, or off a spoon. It is tasteless, and leaves no aftertaste, so no reason to buy gelcaps.
Hello! I'm 63 years old and I was just diagnosed with diabetes accompanied by high Cholesterol as well like a month ago. Today, my doctor told me to only eat lean meats, avoid oils and fat, cheeses whole fat milks and whole fat yogurts, Nuts and some other stuff. I am so overwhelmed with my diagnosis to begin with and I really am a little stressed out.
Good that you know about the diagnose And your doing something about it. I’ll say cholesterol often temporarily raises when you start low carb living. It’s not a problem cause your good cholesterol usually raises and triglycerides lower a lot. No dr just healthy.
Be aware of high cholesterol in a ling person it's got straight to the liver and ended up with sirrocis, but before the liver stopped working properly , indigestion, hypothyroidism, ..... diabetic and lots more
Most medical Drs follow & promote the SAD (Standard American Diet) which is inflammatory & most likely what got you into your position. You’re in the right spot. Keep seeking knowledge Diabetes IS completely reversible w/diet & exercise and high cholesterol, 🙄, Drs are mandated to write scripts. Again, totally reversible. Best in health.
I’m Type 2. When my BS falls slightly below 70, my heart starts racing, I get shaky and sweat profusely! It’s a horrible feeling! I don’t understand how you can have a BS of 50 and still function!
Just ordered 4 for 3. Thank you. I would love to lose a few more lbs, just to lose fat but maintain muscle. Hope this works. Will taking the capsules interfere with intermittent fast?
What about a animal based diet for handling heart disease? Would the carnivore diet be a healthy choice for someone who has existing heart disease, like atherosclerosis, or calcified plaque?
Does MCT oil spoil? I bought a bottle a couple of years ago and forgot about it. I don't do Instagram. Send your son to the chiropractor for his back injury.
@@susans7091 our liquid mct oil says to refrigerate after opening and keep from heat and direct sunlight so in our case I wouldn’t trust a two year old bottle. Much safer to just replace it. Just my opinion. I’m Not a medical doctor.
@@susans7091 Susan, give the oil a little taste. But really, there are no double-bond links in the chain. Meaning air cannot breach. But, I guess I may taste test ..
Confused again. If you're on a sardine diet, do you take MCT oils and how many. I'm trying to follow your video advise. When you fast do you leave off the MCT caps or can you take the caps only or use them in adjacent to the sardines?

Are you supposed to bite every MCT pill open or just take the whole pill? I’m new here lol

I’m 55 and have been IF-ing (varying fasts from 15hr-3 days) since 2017 and I’ve acquired these pesky dimples and it is VERY hard to get rid of! I’m resistance training, doing yoga, walking and just started hyper-volting the heck out of my thighs 2 days ago 🙏🏼 this helps!
During extended fasts, Growth Hormone levels rise by up to 20 X's normal levels. This reduces muscle losses to a minimum during extended fasts.
I really haven’t found a reason or motivation to fast longer than 36hrs - 40 hrs. I am not sure it is benign to fast longer than that unless for serious medical reasons like Dr Longo’s studies on cancer patients and Dr Boz’s experience with the 72hr fasts for her mom. I would consider some sort of targeted fast for a very specific medica reason. Otherwise, for regular maintenance, 36-40hrs is a couple of times a month is good for me.
Please watch videos by dr fung on fasting
Have your son try Pilates to strengthen those inner stabilization muscles which will help support those larger back muscles, so he doesn’t have to rely on those large muscles to do all the work.
Here from new mexico.......Thank you for your information. I had the calcium score test and it was zero. congratulations on your new home. florida is beautiful. I lived there for a few years.
What is the calcium store test?
Dr Boz
Thank you for the order…
Frequently I work 12-hours night-shift ,3 to 6 nights consecutively within a week.
By God’s grace and MCT ….believing for success!!!
Why not liquid mct oil? Also, what about pure C8 instead of C8 and C10?
She doesn’t sell the oil. She’s pushing her pills.
I'd love to know the answer to this also!
Ditto!
Me too! So much easier to get in larger amounts
@@bobbieshort6346 - maybe because she needs to sell the batch that was mislabeled. I have them in my shopping cart - wondering if the convenience of being able to pop a pill throughout the day is worth the added cost vs. buying just the liquid in a bottle.
👍👍👍 Well done. Keep it up and keep going for the well being of humankind.
Good morning Dr. My name is Mike I’m 69 years old and I had been 100 lb. Over weight. I had a gastric bypass surgery back in 2008 and had lost 100 lb. Since then I had kept it off pretty much 15 to 35 lb up and down. I had started the carnivore diet in late January and have dropped from 30in wast to 36in and dropped about 23lbs. I’m taking your MCT oil capsules now up to 6 3 times a day. Since a large part of my small intestines have been removed am I still absorbing it or do I need a take a larger amount. Thank you for taking the time out of your very busy schedule to answer me. Michael Caracappa, Bluffton SC ……. I love all of you videos 😊
Why not just drink *bullet proof coffee* with MCT oil?
Thanks for all that you do Dr. Boz!
God bless y'all in your new home!!!💜🙏✌️🌞💐🎶
Ahhh I missed the live :( I got my four bottles of mct the other day. I take six a day. I have noticed increased energy :) I also started fasting. No bathroom issues. Maybe because I’m fat adapted.
What brand of MCT please
@@olgaleford4373 Dr. Boz
Jillyanne. So i am fat adaptive as well, are we to only do this for 7 days ? While fasting or eating a KETO below 20 carb diet... also can this replace a sardine only fast ?
Can these MCT be done with thsardine fast ?
Thx
@@scottbaker8530 I’d ask Dr. Boz idk. I take them as I feel three at a time. Most I’ve taken is six in a day since I got them and I eat Carnviore. Too soon to say my results as I just got them. I will probably increase them by one as I go. So far no bathroom issues. But not a doctor or expert.
@@JilliansHolisticLife I’m carnivore also and just bought the MCT pills but haven’t gotten them yet. How have you been doing so far taking these?
A way to take MCT C8 without crunching handfuls of pills, especially for anyone who drinks coffee, is to buy powdered MCT oil and add it to your coffee. In addition to promoting ketones, it happens to be the best-tasting substitute I've found for cream. It "whittens" coffee like cream without adding any flavor or sweetness. It does cause some intestinal gas so start with half a scoop and build up. By using MCT C8 in my coffee, I extend my fast by several hours. Note, you do not want to use plain MCT. I did a double-blind study on myself. I saw a cheaper version of MCT and switched to that. After a couple of months, I noticed my weight going up. Then I realized I had accidentally switched to plain MCT and not exclusively MCT C8. Back on C8, my weight is going back down. I happen to use the 2 lb. Nutricost powder on subscription from the "big river". I also use Intentionally Bare Pure C8 Organic MCT Oil in my salad dressing. You're wasting money buying capsules if you compare $ per gram buying powder or a container of oil.
Have you ever seen how they take that oil & make it a powder?
I stopped the powder after I learned that process.
I like to put MCT oil in my coffee. It most definitely makes coffee taste better. The oil makes it taste smoother or Creamier, Kind of like you had put cream and butter in it.
You need to let your coffee cool down.....
Or it won't work well. Heat is not good . Pour over warm food or in warm coffee.... just not hot.
You should listen to your dad.
Dang.... is she strung out !!! Better and right information on other channels
I’ve been watching you for what feels like years now and I gotta say that Florida is looking so pretty on you! Thanks for all the info, your little cartoon diagrams, and your sunny disposition. 🥰☀️🌈🌴
You need liquid MCT in a bottle, you can gauge how much to take. It's easier to do.
Love your Tuesday show ( from Melbourne Australia) but it would be nice if you could start with all the wonderful questions that keep rolling through whilst you talk about your personal things like house buying and tech issues. Although they are also interesting items, so many more pertinent questions are ignored. Just some humble feedback. 🙏🏼
I have been using The Halo brand coffee creamer in my coffee right now. It is whipped cream all most to the butter stage and MCT oil. I have even eaten it by the spoon fulls...Give it a try for your coffee if you drink coffee. Great stuff...
Hello! This is my first time finding your channel. I inadvertently found out that sardines is the only thing I can break a 72 hour (or more) fast with and it doesn't cause gastric distress. My eyebrows perked up when you mentioned sardines. 😅
After a fast I have been terrible with refeeding, I tried sardines this time and I do crazy on other foods.
@4406bbldb How did the sardines work for you?
I am curious about mackerel
@foxfire1533 In my opinion mackerel works for me too but not as well as the sardines...maybe because it has more healthy fat and omega 3s? I also feel more.satiated with the sardines.
Please Dr. Boz, MCT oil vs mct caps is the first question I have regarding this much consumption of MCT oil in such a short period of time. What is better for your body - consuming all of the capsule material that holds the oil or just getting a bottle of high grade oil and using the liquid bottled contents very quickly?
I noted she sucks the oil out of the capsule. I'd still prefer straight oil.😄
I take it off a spoon like cough syrup!
I've watched many videos on the topics that you spoke of. You are very well understood.
Awesome!💞Congrats to your son! I will have to try this! Gotta get some of your pucker up too! 💞
Prayers for his back!
Great sessio . I hope I can find the location of your support group before I get to Tampa, the only reason I'm coming.

I have MCT oil, find it easy to use in my coffee, is that as good as taking a "fistful of pills"?
Speaking of experiments.. I suggest a 72hr Sardines & MCT Combo.
Goata is great for movement performance:) Mimics natural movement patterns we see in nature and our ancestors, just like you do with ketosis and fasting! Helped with my back pain as an athlete!
😅😅😅
I use 2tbsp organic coconut milk with 2 cups of coffee does the work for me.
I love the way you interrupt your sentences, so that the listener never knows how the sentence would have ended.
Congratulations on the house!
I got the MCT, took a handful, and dropped out of Ketosis for the 1st time in 2.5 months. Awful. regretting the purchase more than words can say. 😢
I think there is maltodextrin as flow agent in the powders, which will knock you out of ketosis. Try the liquid!
"Never trust a fart". Heehee! One day at work, I passed one, but it was much more than air! I panicked and called my boss, telling her exactly what happened. Thanks God she's kind. She let me go home immediately.
I would hope so
TMI - while I appreciate your honesty, maybe explain your having a small human emergency, and you'd rather not say anymore. She doesn't need the Shart details. Also I hope you cleaned your chair. Peace
What is the schedule of the live streams? I would love to join the next one!
Hello,
In reference to your son’s back injury, can you comment how systemic enzymes (I use Wobenzym ) fight inflammation…?
Athletes use it to recover super fast when injured or bruised.
Dmso compress will bring down inflammation super quick too.
Is there any effect of MCT supplements on type 2 diabetes, fatty liver, and high triglycerides levels?
Wonderful Dr, great tips
MCTs are the new sardines! And they taste a LOT better :)
Can we take mct oil during a fast? To prolong a fast?
I remember wrestling when I was in high school. I competed at 145# and made weight every Friday afternoon before a match. After the match and during the following weekend, I could eat again after starving myself all week. I was ALWAYS overweight by 5-10 pounds the next Monday. Then the cycle would start again.
OMG SO FUNY..............it's the day you shouldn't trust a fart. OMG YOU made me laugh out loud. TOO FUNNY. LOVE IT!!!
I’m making my Apple cider vinegar salad dressing with MCT instead of EVOO.
Why do you take pills instead of just the oil itself?
Be careful if you drink the mct oil, only do a little bit at a time or you will 💩 your guts out.
I started taking mct oil a couple of months ago, I take 2 tbsp per day but haven’t really noticed anything. Any thoughts?
I think I’ll do an MCT challenge starting Sunday after dinner!! 😊
And, ☕D E S S E R T🧁👀😂
Very interesting share 🎉✌️
If you order the MCT make sure you order 4. I ordered 3 and thought they would send the 4th bottle with the order as some sites do. But they don't do it that way. and trying to make contact with them for over a week every day or so. I finally got a response 8 days later was can't return items that had been opened. Dr Boz team took so long to reply to my request with no real solutions to my problem. So I chalked up as a lesson well learned.
Dang
Drink the liquid fast and better than all those pills on your belly lol
Doc iam new to this keto craze ,any way i ordered MCT and BHB from your website hopefully to recieve it soon its gonna be exciting.Continiously following your youtube channel.honestly loose 3lbs by following you in your channel but need to loose more particullarly on belly fat.Thank you and more power to you.
I jammed three days on mct. I didn’t realize it would help me move better. My body slowed a bit when I didn’t keep it up. Got it now…
What kind did you get?
@@olgaleford4373 the latest batch is from Dr. Boz.
@@olgaleford4373 i say this because quality matters when trying to high dose oils in any way. The way they were stored and shipped matters. Otherwise the trots she talks a bit about can happen much faster.
I can take smaller doses of oils that are less “quality?” And not been damaged. I “can” use Sprouts organic as a sipping oil but I use nothing of lower quality.
I am a newbie from West Virginia!
I use liquid MCT and I’m thinking I can take more. Maybe 3 tablespoons a day? People say why are you taking that” it makes my vacuum cleaner run” ha just enough energy to use it.
Use to Pole Vault 16’ in community college. I marvel at those who can do 18’.
Hi Dr. Boz! I've started doing a 3-Day sardine challenge once a week, with the idea of doing it for 8 weeks. The first week, my DBR got down to 20.83 on the 3rd day. My 2nd week (this one) using the MCT 8:10, my DBR is already down to 19.5 on the very first day! The oil is definitely helping!
Since I'm eating my sardines during my 4 hour eating window, would you still place me in Zone 6? Or does the Sardine-Challenge count as Zone 12? Thank you!
YAK, YAK, YAK! There’s so much talking before you get to the actual topic! Why wouldn’t you just take a tablespoon of MCT OIL 4 times a day to get the 1/4 cup a day, and not fistful of capsules?
Exactly, way way way too much yacking and totally confusional!
The absolute truth. Goodness!!! She self distracts, comments on every stray thought that crosses her mind and none of it is relevant. The house, the son's wrestling/back, picking up the jar of pills, not liking taking pills, tech issues, and on and on and on, for goodness sake give the listening audience a break!
So true. I kept forwarding the video hoping she would get to the point. Reading the comments people have a lot of questions that She doesn't answer directly, nor in this video. I got sick of listening to her, yap on and on and on about nothing. I'm just as confused I will listen to someone else about the MCT, because she's too much listening work.
Oh look, a squirrel!
Hello from Byron Center, Michigan
Long drive but no snow!
Thanks. I have a lot of Brain Octane. How do YOU rate it? I’m in Canada.
Also, in your experience, what do you think the MCT or Brain Octane absorption is for someone after Gastric Bypass?
I recently discovered your channel.
I’ve had inflammation flare-ups twice a year requiring 10 days 50 mg Prednisone for few years.
I am NOT requesting diagnosis, only opinions.
She's not going to reply to you. She wants you to buy her products
I was doing MCT oil in my bullet proof coffee. It started off great. My mind seemed much more clear. As time progressed I noticed I was feeling anxious. I didn’t even know what to call it at first. I took out the MCT oil and the anxious feeling left immediately. 🤷♀️
The keto con lecture is on UA-cam
Welcome to Florida 🎉
I'm in IT for 45 years and have always carried a pager or been on call.
Curious why you didn't somehow drink liquid MCT rather than taking pills?
“…you shouldn’t trust a fart.”. - Dr. Boz
So glad I took this doctor’s advice….as it happened, everything came out okay.
Additionally: after using MCT oil for the past month, with a slight nod to better eating but nothing close to a keto regimen, I have lost about 10 lbs. Looking forward to getting in a full keto lifestyle along with my wife.
Thank you for all of the great guidance and encouragement Doc!
I had to stop putting MCT oil in my coffee as it raised my triglycerides to the point my doctor was suggesting statins. I refused statins and dropped the MCT oil. Three months later, and everything's fine again.
Does taking mct oil on fasted state prevents autophogy?
No
In my opinion most non-structural back problems are caused by inflexibility. Fighting existing stiffness during stressful episodes causes inflammation. I had sporatic back issues over the years until I made an extreme effort to work out the stiffness in my back in my 50's. I realized that despite the weight training I was doing, I had no strength in my back because there was minimal spinal mobility. I even gained half an inch in height.
As far as supplements are concerned, I never buy anything in pill form that can be purchased reliably in bulk. And as for MCT oil, I have always had issues with coconut oil and diarrhea. When I started MCT oil I bought a bottle and used no more than one teaspoon an hour, either in my coffee substitute (chicory) with my cream, or off a spoon. It is tasteless, and leaves no aftertaste, so no reason to buy gelcaps.
So, is it a fourth of a cup a day or a fourth of a cup 3 times a day?
Congrats on buying a house in FL. Wish I was there.
Hello! I'm 63 years old and I was just diagnosed with diabetes accompanied by high Cholesterol as well like a month ago. Today, my doctor told me to only eat lean meats, avoid oils and fat, cheeses whole fat milks and whole fat yogurts, Nuts and some other stuff. I am so overwhelmed with my diagnosis to begin with and I really am a little stressed out.
Good that you know about the diagnose And your doing something about it. I’ll say cholesterol often temporarily raises when you start low carb living. It’s not a problem cause your good cholesterol usually raises and triglycerides lower a lot. No dr just healthy.
Be aware of high cholesterol in a ling person it's got straight to the liver and ended up with sirrocis, but before the liver stopped working properly , indigestion, hypothyroidism, ..... diabetic and lots more
Most medical Drs follow & promote the SAD (Standard American Diet) which is inflammatory & most likely what got you into your position. You’re in the right spot. Keep seeking knowledge Diabetes IS completely reversible w/diet & exercise and high cholesterol, 🙄, Drs are mandated to write scripts. Again, totally reversible. Best in health.
MCT oil raises triglyceride levels, so be very careful with it
@@4406bbldb Hi! Look into Red yeast rice and Coq10❤❤
I’m Type 2. When my BS falls slightly below 70, my heart starts racing, I get shaky and sweat profusely! It’s a horrible feeling!
I don’t understand how you can have a BS of 50 and still function!
She is being fueled by ketones instead of blood sugar. When you become fat adapted, you too will be able to run very low blood sugars and not notice.
Could coconut oil work for this?
seems like it would, it sounds like it's 55-65% MCTs. seems easier to eat than pills.
Just ordered 4 for 3. Thank you. I would love to lose a few more lbs, just to lose fat but maintain muscle. Hope this works.
Will taking the capsules interfere with intermittent fast?
What about a animal based diet for handling heart disease? Would the carnivore diet be a healthy choice for someone who has existing heart disease, like atherosclerosis, or calcified plaque?
🤔A 1/4 cup of MCT Oil every day would keep me glued to the toilet🚽🧻🥴....! Definitely not trying it...!
⚠KEEP BACK⚠~ ⚠SLIPPERY WHEN WET⚠😱
Yeah and congrats to moving to Florida, the Sunshine state. 🥰
Does MCT oil spoil? I bought a bottle a couple of years ago and forgot about it. I don't do Instagram. Send your son to the chiropractor for his back injury.
No, it is saturated meaning no room for oxygen reaction.
Saturated = satisfied having all the hydrogen to carbon atoms.
@@starrynight3363 Even if it was opened?
@@susans7091 our liquid mct oil says to refrigerate after opening and keep from heat and direct sunlight so in our case I wouldn’t trust a two year old bottle. Much safer to just replace it. Just my opinion. I’m Not a medical doctor.
@@susans7091 Susan, give the oil a little taste. But really, there are no double-bond links in the chain. Meaning air cannot breach. But, I guess I may taste test ..
Confused again. If you're on a sardine diet, do you take MCT oils and how many. I'm trying to follow your video advise. When you fast do you leave off the MCT caps or can you take the caps only or use them in adjacent to the sardines?
Why MCT starts at 6:05
Ur my hero
