I’ve got a favour to ask! If you enjoy this conversation, please double check that you’ve liked the video and subscribed to the channel! That's a small way you can help us carry on doing this, really appreciate you! ❤
Yup done and done. Sheesh I’m 64 and just started vaping, it’s kinda taking a toll already ( it’s only been a couple of months) but I’m sooo addicted. Why did I start this ? 🤦♀️
Agree! He's an amazing interviewer. Sure, it could just be edited that way.....but I'm not convinced it is. They're the experts and he is the inquisitive student asking intelligent questions to better understand it.
@listey true but like you I'm not convinced it's edited either. I can't stand it when the host constantly interrupts! I like Steven, he always seems genuinely interested in the topics. Love it here 🙂
I loved how he answered the last question and praised his mom and his wife for the importance of being stay at home mom’s. The world needs more men like Ben. I was thinking about going on the Ozempic shots, but believe now that I will get a continuous glucose monitor and focus on Whole Foods specifically protein and fats, veggies/ fruits / fiber + weightlifting and HIIT and see how I do on my own. Thank you!!
It works ❤ be patient and keep moving forward. This is the winning formula. Try keeping fruit to a limit for rapid results or for when u hit a plateau. Best wishes
Them drugs have been linked to suicidal ideation and increasing depression. There is an awful lot of risks, today to saw that they might increase thyroid cancer too. They are not without very dangerous risks.
35 days of Keto for the first time ever. Started 2nd January 2025 now 8th February and 8kg or 17.5 lbs gone. So easy and loving the food choices. No More than 20g of carbs a day and focus on more fat than protein. Take MCT in 3 black coffees and don’t eat before noon finish before dark. Ideally eat within 4 hours total. I am amazed - not felt this good since a teenager. Another 15kg to go and I know I will. That’s another 37 lbs to go. So happy. It really works. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
- Three things that changed my life: 1. started watching health videos 2. I read the book called: Health Secrets Industry Hides 3. I stopped eating processed foods
Wow wow wow. At first I said : "oh man, not this topic again. I have already all the information I need." And then I start listening : amazing! After a few minutes I am 100% all ears, wanting to hear more! This guy explains perfectly, like nothing I've ever heard until now, and the facts and knowledge. I will have to listen to this twice, because there a lot to grasp. Thank you Steven for bringing this him as well.
I'm the same. At first I was skeptical about watching it because insulin resistance and glucose spike has been a topic here. But it looks like there's a lot more to learn and I'd like to dig deeper into it to understand.
Am about to listen …thanks. Also just wanted to say how I very much appreciate all the alternative health stuff you do…I know mainstream health doesn’t like the alternatives and puts our all sorts of negative stuff re this and testing etc but am glad to see you are still doing it as I am more than certain that the alternatives help so many. Many thanks especially for the health podcasts Steven. I am sure people will continue to listen to them despite any pushback.
Dr B is the man, I am a double certified Internist and ER physician. His clinical and pathophysiology is beyond reproach. Never miss his content. Besides I lost 140 lbs and put DM2 into remission. Why give insulin to hyperinsulinemic. If I could take back every RX for insulin back and stopped HS snacks my patients would have thrived. Fred Douglas - If there is no struggle there is no progress
I was pre-diabetic and high blood pressure, refused to go on medication, started carnivore diet to control my insulin and everything back to normal. The biggest shock for me was the advice I ignored would have kept on horrible metabolic path, thanks Dr B and Jason Fung sharing they're lives work with us. Giving us real advise that isn't profiting drug companies.
@@lucyilly428 I've experienced the opposite, as DR B mentioned, the brain prefers ketones, I've been more altert and don't suffer energy crushes as well improved sleep, you might have experienced keto flu, when your body is becoming fat adapted you’ll experience discomfort, what worked for me was to increase the fat, i’m guessing you voiding adding or under ate fat, you’ll be surprised how much you need, especially on that transition period.
I rarely comment but this is THE best video on this channel for the value to humanity. I don't think we can underestimate the information and wisdom conveyed here in a way that most listeners can understand. This is the gift of reversing most, if not all illness, of improving living well into older age and of defying the indefensible cruelty of big pharma and their cronies.
Knowing that sleep deprivation, caffeine, and increased levels in stress finally explains the majority of my health problems. Finally, some answers for why I feel so crappy! I’m glad to learn I can fix it.
OMG I have become so healthy and strong since following Dr Bikman's advice. Stronger in my 50s in the gym than in my 20s, run a 8km in 40min, my mitochondria firing on all cylinders, weigh as much as I did in high school, sleep like a stone, eye sight improved, no mind fog on and on. And was able to do all myself with diet and lifestyle!
As a 78 year old who grew up in the jungles of Sumatra, lived in Holland and finally immigrated to the U.S, I have been arguing with my younger brother an oncologist for 20 years about diet and cancer, my cholesterol was over 300 20 years ago and he was adamant about putting me on statins, but I refused and now am thankful I did. I’ve now developed metabolic flexibility and source between Ketones some carbs and M-Tor. Currently living in SanFrancisco Bay Area and work in the city as a pedicab operator shuttling folks around the city without any motor assistance.
My grandmother was born in Sumatra and also immigrated to Holland and then America. She is 90 years old and walks around with no cane or walker. She only wears reader glasses.
When he spoke about the micro biome of our intestinal system, and the fact that it can change in rapid order based on environment, it made me think about the blood work we get done at a doctors. I went to my doctor last year and did bloodwork and it came back with high cholesterol. He immediately recommended that I start statins. I track every single thing that I eat, and I went back and looked at it and saw that the night before I had eaten two pulled pork sandwiches for dinner.I did my blood work that day and a week later my blood work came back perfect. Our blood work changes throughout the day and the fact that we make medicinal decisions that are life slowing and based on a single moment bloodwork is amazing and scary.
@ I started eating a carnivore diet after that first blood work was done. I think it was the sugary drinks, chips, “energy bars”, breads and dressing that I was eating with the meat before switching that actually negatively impacted my cholesterol.
I've been listening to Ben for 5 years and I believe he is one of the key figures saving my life. When I started I was pre dabetic. At 62 I feel better than anytime in the past 30 years. You guys captured one of his best interviews. Good job! This will be an evergreen reference video.
Dr Bikman's advice changed my life about 6 months ago I started a low / No carbohydrate lifestyle and completely reversed non alcoholic fatty liver, lost about 12 kg and felt so much better.
Hello l have to know besides eggs of breakfast .. what did you do? I. Confused is cut cut oats ok ? What did you eat and was the fatty liver from alcohol? What did you eat before? Any veggies like greens?
Was going to do a 18 hour fast, but pushed it to 39 hours after listening to this podcast. Shared the podcast with a bunch of people. Thanks for the information and motivation.
that is AMAZING...please keep doing it the benefits are amazing...good health is FREE...I've been fasting for 5 yrs and haven't had a seizure since #IfYouAintFastingYouAintLasting 💪🏽
Been following this brilliant man for a long time. I credit him for my ability to avoid medication for T2 diabetes. Best guest yet. Have him back please. The world needs to hear more from him.
This is the best podcast on YT - the amount of value that everyone can get from these videos is incredible. I have no doubt that you will have 11 - 13 mil. subs this time next year.
What a lovely, humble, intelligent human being is Ben Bickman and a source of so much knowledge and helpful information. Thank you for having him on. I learned a lot.
I was gestational diabetic with both my children. I got NO help or instruction. My daughter has struggled with obesity and PCOS which no doctor diagnosed until after she was 21. Wish I had been given help with this area of my pregnancies. I was so sick with both and ended up getting my tubes tied at 25 years of age because my pregnancies and deliveries were so incredibly horrible for both me and my babies. So glad to hear this being discussed.
Your daughter may not have been diagnosed until age 21 because the condition has not been known for more than a few decades. Haven't read the research lately, but i believe it was discovered to develop in a child/animal when, as a fetus, the fetus was exposed to androgens as it developed in utero.
I believe my daughter suffers from this. I had gestational diabetes with both my kids. My oldest has issues with the development of her breast. I have taken her to an endocrinologist, but all the doctor did was refer us to a plastic surgeon. Idk how to find where to take her to figure it all out.
I'm type 1 and the educational system is really a joke. I was forced to learn everything by trial and error. 28 years later I still find hacks to deal with no insulin and manual delivery. But the knowledge I have gotten about to "cost of food" in insulin is priceless.
@@sarahcruz4483 Don't give up. My daughter saw multiple primary care doctors from the time she was 13 years old on. She finally as an adult (she is now 28) found a wonderful Nurse Practitioner (female) who took her seriously, did some testing, looked at her history and finally diagnosed her with PCOS. Diet and exercise alone did not help her! Wegovy has helped jump start her weight loss. Is it for everyone? no. Is it for some? YES! its heartbreaking for woman with PCOS who have been told they are lazy, or whatever and thats why they are obese. Its devastatingly wrong. Keep looking for a great Physician's assistant/Nurse practitioner! They exist they are just few and far between. Prayers!
Ugh I’ve just learned SO much about health this year because of your podcasts. I am so grateful for your guests and your show and the hard work you put into it. I’m 35, f, caretaking for my mother with dementia. Since watching a few of the interviews you’ve had this year, I’ve cut out caffeine, alcohol, and sugar, and I keep a smaller eating window and it’s true - it’s better on this side of things. Thank you.
Hands down...THE BEST CHANNEL ON HERE! Thank you Steven and the entire Diary of a CEO team! Thank you to all of the guests who also come to share their knowledge! You all are changing lives! 1. Lower your insulin by controlling your carbohydrates (limit your packaged and boxed foods.) 2. Focus on protein and fat. Don't fear fat from protein as it helps you to feel full.
Mediterranean diet was spreaded all over the world but the ones talking about it forget to remind us that people were poor then and they eat 2 meals a day.... mind no processed food no sugar, not tons of coffee, and yeas they eat lots of carbs- bread, pasta, potatoes, beans and legumes, but they were working physicly very hard not behind computers..... and they were fasting too.
I have so much respect for Ben. His book is great and I’ve been listening to him for several years now on various podcasts. I find him very honest, thoughtful and compassionate. A very genuine human being. Great interview. Thanks both.
Hi 👋 pretty lady🌹💕how are you doing today. I was reading the comments and then I saw your comment and I decided to text you, hope you’re okay with that?😊
I started keto 2 months ago, more focussed on meat than anything else (not so many plants in my diet). Not doing it perfectly but i feel so much better. Lost 25 pounds and my anxiety is gone. Depression getting better. I am considering changing career to focus on metabolic health. If anyone is reading this, keep going with keto or carnivore. We are healthy and strong. ❤
I have the same experience. Added 30-60 minutes of weightlifting daily in September. Bought adjustable dumbbells to my house. And. Boy. The combo of high meat and weightlifting is brutal. I’m never gonna stop.
I dropped 12kg over 30 days, In only eating meat, salad and the odd whisky. I was a hardcore weightlifter and stopped training. 160kg down to 148kg so far. Target 110kg 😊
@@mogglie every day is way too much , muscles need rest try splitting your work outs into 4 days of the week Monday and Tuesday then Wednesday off Thursday Friday and the weekend off works well for most people . muscle groups you train on Monday you train again on Thursday and Tuesdays muscles you train again on Friday so your muscles have at least 3 days of rest obviously you can choose your own days but trust me this will make a world of difference on your off days you can still do some sport or just go for a walk or swim or something more cardio related
Dr. BB is an amazing teacher, scientist, and human. TY for having him on. I am in the process of becoming a certified Insulin IQ coach and am loving learning directly from Dr. BB and his team!
Fantastic podcast!! It’s doctors like this that deserve full recognition for their incredible knowledge and expertise in this field. As a diabetes educator I urge everyone watching this video to share this with loved ones, let’s put an end to these terrible diseases once and for all.
I don’t know if you’ve seen the BBC attack on Steve. Labelling him and his Podcast and its guest as dangerous. It’s shockingly unbelievable. I’ve watched so many Drs he has had on. Dr Thomas Seyfried is one of my favourites. It is so clear that they don’t want people to be healthy and have real knowledge on how to do it. I live this podcast.
The pharmaceutical company companies have gotten too rich and powerful, they are behind trying to get this life saving information from us. That’s why their don’t teach nutrition to doctors.
@@Red_Foxx101have not seen the BBC critics, but i do question some of the information and "expertise" of some of the interviewees. Regardless, it's important to listen and judge for yourself, and also just to know firsthand what others are saying (and sometimes where the bs is coming from).
I felt this was right after thousands of clients and 15 years into the field as a health researcher/advisor. I am SO happy to finally see someone EXACTLY confirm my hypothesis.
I like the way this doctor speaks. He seems to have a very good scientific approach, being clear about the unknowns and giving nuanced explanations. Just based on the way he says things, I would trust his conclusions and pieces of advice
I’m struggling with ME at the moment & Steven Barletts podcasts have provided me with more invaluable information on overall heath than any GP or doctor ever has. Thank you Steven for providing these podcasts. I’m so confident they will help me end my struggle!
This man has confirmed everything I’ve known about my body and I’m no PHD. We need another interview with this man. Bring him back!! - One Love from 🇯🇲
Prof Ben Bickman is the best teacher. The most humble person I have ever met. Nearly a three hour podcast and I could have listened another two hours. Can't wait to see who is going to be next? I want to predict Anthony Chaffee, Shawn Baker, Tim Noaks, Robert Cywes, Nina Teicholz, Eric Westman. Malcolm Kendrick, Paul Mason, Lierre Keith, Jane Buxton, Sally Norton to name a few
Dr. Bikman is a massive heavyweight in the metabolic health scene. I've been following him for many years and he's one of the best, if not the absolute best.
@@Isabel-of4wq Benjamin Bikman earned his PhD in Bioenergetics and was a postdoctoral fellow with the Duke-National University of Singapore studying metabolic disorders. Currently, his professional focus as a scientist and professor (Brigham Young University) is to better understand the origins and consequences of metabolic disorders, including obesity and diabetes, with a particular emphasis on the role of insulin. He frequently publishes his research in peer-reviewed journals and presents at international science and public meetings.
Amazing interview! First person to talk about all benefits of ketones in terms of the brain and inflammation. Dr B is the difference between us saying "Good keto is the key" to "I need to start this today for all these benefits". Thanks so much Steven for bringing Dr B to your podcast and also raising Ozempic with him 🙌
Intermittent fasting, the right nutrition, electrolyte balance, gut microbiome, physical motion, adequate sleep, hydration, stress management, SPIRITUAL FEEDING. This is what im doing and it works
BIKMAN! My Favorite Metabolic Researcher!!! I am so glad to see him bein interviewed. I watch his Metabolic Classroom lectures on UA-cam , but I've been following this guy for a while. He's matter of fact, to the point, and on the mark on so many topics related to his field. All the research papers that have his name on them and other great smart people are making it better for us to keep track of our health and suffer less.
@@TheDiaryOfACEO No, thank you! Thank you for having these important conversations. The connection between Diabetes and Dementia need to be talked about more.
My father in law is suffering now from Dementia, it’s horrible. He has type 2 diabetes as well. My husband and I are doing everything we can to keep our glucose down and not go this route. Currently on Carnivore diet 70 days and feel great!
I had Cushings’s disease from a pituitary tumor. It almost killed me, but due to the constant high cortisol for so many years, from the pituitary tumor pumping out ACTH, I gained 100 lbs in one year, it caused me insulin resistance. And even though I’ve been in remission for several years, but because I have the visceral fat, with the large size fat cells I have not been able to get all the fat off. And the effects of Cushings’s causing insulin resistance, and I have autoimmune disease and extremely high inflammation. 😢
I don't think the guests are getting better, just their names got bigger. The previous guests were just as inspiring as the newer ones. I am grateful for every one of them for what they taught me. Thanks Steven for bringing them on.
I’m just wetting my feet with ketogenic diet but what a difference it’s been. To say it’s been Life changing is an understatement. I am 6’4 and came in just over 245. I came down to 228 in just under 2 weeks. My energy levels sore through the roof and I also don’t need nearly as much sleep. I lost a little over 4lbs sleeping in ONE NIGHT. I eat once a day on none workout days and twice a day on heavy weight lifting day but keep the two meals within a 7 hour period. I also try and squeeze in two 24hr+ fast a week. Just kinda winging it and doing whatever feels good. You guys are the best !
@@laykehicks8413 still haven’t gained it back ! Water weight would just come back on I would assume no ? I’m sure some of it was water weight but either way my comment is still correct. I woke up and weighed 4lbs less. Certainly didn’t wiz away 4lbs of pee 😂
@ 4lbs is roughly the weight of a decent poop. You can't burn away 4lbs by being stationary nor burn it by wildly exercising for 24 hours straight. Be sure to only weigh yourself after defecating and urinating and before drinking fluids, in the morning or you'll come to a conclusion like that. Example, a 35yo male who is 250lbs who doesn't eat for 24 hours while continuously exercising for 24 hours would lose 1.5-2.5lbs. It's metabolically impossible for any human to lose 4lbs by sleeping. In order for someone to lose 4lbs by both not eating and continuously exercising for 24 hours they'd have to weigh approx 1000lbs.
Steven, one of the reasons you have a high number of subscribers is because you know how to listen to your guests - you let them answer your questions without interrupting!! You also ask thought provoking and open-ended questions. What a fantastic interviewer you are - thank you!!! I’ve also listened to Ben on multiple occasions and always learn something new from his expertise. What an intelligent and eloquently spoken human being!
What a wonderful speaker who covered so much! I must say the very best part was at the end: his clear love, devotion, and respect for his wife and family. His testimony of his successful marriage said so much. Thank you!
I’m so grateful that this dr made a clear delineation between type 1 and type 2 diabetes. What a fantastic guest who not only is clearly intelligent and very personable, he explains everything in an engaging, comprehensible manner 👏🏽
Eating less than 20 total carbs a day. Blood pressure went from 150 over 90 to 125/78 in 5 months.Eye sight is better. Stopped snoring. Dropped 30lbs. Did intermediate fasting 18/6 and also 1 meal a day for about two weeks.
Do you control your protein too? I really struggle with keto since I also limit my protein intake ( so fats prevail) but then with food choice end up with up to 50 net carbs since I do include some vegetables and fruits daily. I am in ketosis though all the time.
As a 62 year old woman when I tried a keto diet for a year I had fat loss and I loved how my mind improved. However, my sleeping became interrupted. I had difficulty falling asleep and staying asleep. My blood ketone levels were anywhere between 1-4 in the morning. I wonder if someone has advice to tweak this diet so it doesn’t wire my brain so I can’t sleep. Would love to try again. Is this research we heard today done with men and women? There are far more male advocates on ketosis out there than women. Would you consider a podcast focusing on ketosis and women’s health. I know many women would appreciate that. I am new to your channel and love it. Sharing it now with all my friends. Thank you for interviewing great guests! 🎉
I’ve listens to over 10 of your interviews. This is by far the best. Well done. I have to follow up on some of these items to verify but these are things that make a ton of sense
I greatly admire Dr. Bikman! He is articulate and knowledgeable. Thank you for hosting him! I read his two major books: Why We Get Sick and How Not to Get Sick. I found them to be life-saving.
Absolutely, went on a Ketogenic diet and fasted 23hrs a day, never in my life have I dropped weight as fast as I did, 35lbs in 2 months and felt freaking energetic and young...
This was hands down one of the most informative podcasts I've watched in a very long time. The knowledge I've gained on what's going on in my body metabolically with regards to insulin levels, ketone production, and the effects of carbohydrates, has completely solidified my past formal science learning. The light bulb 💡 has just come on lol! Thank you so much Steven and team!!!😊
I’m so grateful for your channel. The generosity of your guests ti share their hard-earned knowledge with us, so we can improve our health and quality of life, is so appreciated. I work from home and listen to you and your guest while doing so.
I really appreciated the light push-back on the topic of ketosis. Conversations that avoid challenging the guests entirely are less helpful. He was able to answer the challenge and become more authoritative in the process. Thank you!
My mother did aged 99, fill of good health Nd ate meat all her life - she was still mowing the lawn and doing squats at 94 but she did develop frontal lobe dementia in her last few years. So although this is fascinating- she ate meat and still developed it. I'll be researching the Omegas.
Fantastic discussion. Here's my story, if anyone cares: For 5 years I was on a rollercoaster of weight loss. I would go on a keto diet and included intermittent fasting - and even full 24-48 hour fasting several times a month. I'd lose 5 lbs (and keep it off) every time I did a 48-hour fast. It was awesome, but came at a price. The problem was, doing this was unsustainable for me. So, I'd fall off the wagon and gain it all back (at the time I didn't understand my addiction to high-carb foods). 7 months ago, I was talking to my brother (who has never been anything but thin), and I asked him how he stays so thin. He said his diet for decades has been focused on mostly eating protein. He had to do it because of his Crohn's disease, but a benefit of that diet is that he doesn't gain weight. Since that conversation, I've taken what I've learned about the keto diet and adjusted it to make it sustainable for me. I eat when I'm hungry, but I only eat low carb. I concentrate on protein and fat. I'd even venture that my caloric intake has not changed from my average American junk diet. I eat a lot calories in the form of fat. This isn't a weight loss diet, it's just how I eat now. I also decided not to step on a scale for 6 months. At six months I did and found I had lost 22 lbs. No exercise. No changes except what I was eating. Though at times I can feel my addiction to high-carb foods, I also find that I feel that addiction most when I'm bored. So, I find things to do and I don't think about it anymore. While the weight loss is nice, the biggest improvement is my brain. I am NEVER tired in the middle of the day anymore. I used to find myself dozing off at my desk at work everyday around 1 or 2 in the afternoon. This never happens anymore. I also sleep better too. In general, I find my mind is much more sharp than it used to be.
The way you describe it, it sounds like you are on a more extreme ketogenic diet now, closer to carnivore and that's working for you. One of the things about carnivore is that many people find it easier to stay on as it simplifies things. You no longer need to worry about how many carbs do this or that vegetable or fruit have. They are all off limits.
Thanks for all everyone does on this channel. I have lost 35 pounds: 5' 10, 145 pounds on a whole food way of life and started working out in the hopes of my children not having to care for me as I age, as I am 60.
Did you see any troubles healed? You feel better? Stronger? Happier? I need motivation. I'm 100 pounds overweight and can't get myself out of bed most days.
@@jhildebrand7447 I’m sorry to hear you’re struggling! Praying for you! Listen to what this doc is saying. Eat clean, unprocessed foods. Focus on getting more protein! Get outside and walk. I’ve heard that when you take a walk it’s like you’re walking away from your stress. Look at the beautiful sky. Enjoy the sunset! There is so much peace at the golden hour. Get some hand weights and do some strength workouts 3 times a week. UA-cam has tons. I’m a Christian so I spend time praying and meditating which also helps me get motivated. You are loved!❤🙏 Ps. 16:11, John 3:16 Blessings!!!
@@julieshaw1452 thank you! Especially for the Verses. I feel so lonely. Your comment made me cry. Please pray for me to have strength. I know Good wants me to not give up. Blessings. 🙏
@jhildebrand7447 consistency is what produces change, and your "why" keeps you going so you can stay consistent. When you feel like giving up, just remember your "why." If you stumble, just remember it doesn't erase the miles traveled. Pick yourself up and keep going. ❤
@@jhildebrand7447try slow - start with just omitting carbs and artificial sweeteners as well. Start eating fatty and protein rich foods, made by yourself. Scrambled 4-6 eggs made with clarified real butter will give you energy for many hours. Add good blue cheese as Gorgonzola to beaten eggs and make fantastic omelette. Do not snack - ever. Drink much water and coffee. Eat green vegetables. Forget rice, flour (any), potatoes and other foods with starch. Starch breaks into sugar in minutes inside the stomach. And ask for help anytime you need it! Fingers crossed. This is my 10 months experience and 30£ loss
Thank you for having Ben on your Show! Such a powerhouse of life-saving knowledge and kindness! May both of you strife and live a healthy long and fullfilling life! Stay blessed!🙏🏻✨ Many Greetings from Germany!
Man at first this dude’s delivery was killing me, But the information is so interesting i kept watching, he warms up and is actually a great speaker. Another great interview thanks!
Please, add more languages to automatic translation. Spread this knowledge to even more people. You're doing an awesome job already but a lot non-english speaking communities could benefit from it.
This is amazing especially for me when migraine was mentioned. Skip the sweet breakfast and shift to a savoury breakfast and so no glucose spike will take place and I immidiately had less headache and migraines at Noon. When I take too much sugar still today around 30 minutes later I will develop a headache . So I skipped all added sugar and feel so much better also in energy level.
47:45 Breast cancer is the main cancer for women. I work in healthcare and it's shocking how many of my female colleagues are getting breast cancer. They're shift workers and many have a diet of fizzy drinks and they're snacking on junk food during long 12hr shifts. Recipe for disaster healthwise.
What if it's happening because of an experimental new mRNA based inoculation? One proven to be contaminated with sv40 in the manufacturing process for many batches?
At 1:41:39 Steven says, "Fat dropped off my body like I've never seen in my life." And that was after being on a Keto diet for "a couple of weeks." That is what sold it for me. Before watching this podcast I thought I'd never try a Keto diet because I could never accept severe restrictions on carbohydrates for long. I'm now willing to try it for at least 4 weeks. Maybe it can help me lose the last 10kg I wanted to lose when I started on Ozempic, but has stubbornly remained as I have plateaued over the last few months.
Good luck! One thing about the Keto diet that I love is Keto food gets boring and is very satiating so you just don't want to keep eating. All of the chemical action going on in your body is amazing but don't forget it'll change your behaviours and relationship with food. Yes, so much food is delicious and I miss it... But I also miss drinking booze all the time and doing drugs! Unhealthy delicious food is a drug and the sooner you remove pleasure from eating, the healthier you become. I still allow a cheat meal here and there just like I still have a few drinks and smoke the occasional joint.
Not sure how Keto will work during or after Ozempic. However, I thought I could not do it but started 2nd January OBESE 90kg small female - February 8 th now 82kg - 1kg a week gone or 2.2lbs a week minimum. Sticking to never more than 20g carbs per day and never eating before noon and never after dark. It’s working for me. I really hope it works for you too. 👏🏻👏🏻
To be honest, as these podcasts are long, I usually cherry-pick the parts that interest me most using the time stamps. But not this time. The guest, Ben Bikman, was such a good communicator that I watched the whole thing, hanging on his every word. Great, well-explained subject matter, put forward in a humble, respectful way with just the right amount of science. Exceptional.
You are gonna get swallowed by all the quality lectures , podcasts and intervies Bikman has. Check out his "Metabolic Classroom" series! I often play it when I am doing chores , never hurts to learn something more, right?
In the US there are so many chemicals in the food supply from pesticides to antibiotics and GMO products it's practically impossible to avoid. Fresh Whole Foods are more expensive than the cheap chemically altered crap. School lunches in the US have deteriorated, exponentially in quality and we're seeing more childhood obesity. I would love to hear a podcast, addressing these issues.
I’ll admit, I’m only 45 min into this, as RN for 20+ years I’ve never heard IR explained so clearly! I hope he explains next how meds (Tacrolimus)that cause IR affect this process, so I can overcome this nightmare. Thank you Steven-

Wonder if blood transfusion could be used to improve dementia outcomes in that case?

I'll say it again, I love how Steven actually listens and lets his guests speak. Such a pleasure listening to these podcasts ❤
Agree! He's an amazing interviewer. Sure, it could just be edited that way.....but I'm not convinced it is. They're the experts and he is the inquisitive student asking intelligent questions to better understand it.
@listey true but like you I'm not convinced it's edited either. I can't stand it when the host constantly interrupts! I like Steven, he always seems genuinely interested in the topics. Love it here 🙂
I agree. One can learn in this channel. This is one of my favourite episodes yet.
@debbiemayberymaybery2506 they get better and better don't they

I loved how he answered the last question and praised his mom and his wife for the importance of being stay at home mom’s. The world needs more men like Ben. I was thinking about going on the Ozempic shots, but believe now that I will get a continuous glucose monitor and focus on Whole Foods specifically protein and fats, veggies/ fruits / fiber + weightlifting and HIIT and see how I do on my own. Thank you!!
Very few women have the option to “stay at home” thanks to the Republicans destroying lower and middle class incomes
If he stayed at home, he would not contribute much. Think...
It works ❤ be patient and keep moving forward. This is the winning formula. Try keeping fruit to a limit for rapid results or for when u hit a plateau. Best wishes
Exactly. Having a wealthy husband can allow a woman the luxury of not having to work outside of the house.@@babysq7777
Them drugs have been linked to suicidal ideation and increasing depression. There is an awful lot of risks, today to saw that they might increase thyroid cancer too. They are not without very dangerous risks.
35 days of Keto for the first time ever. Started 2nd January 2025 now 8th February and 8kg or 17.5 lbs gone. So easy and loving the food choices. No More than 20g of carbs a day and focus on more fat than protein. Take MCT in 3 black coffees and don’t eat before noon finish before dark. Ideally eat within 4 hours total. I am amazed - not felt this good since a teenager.
Another 15kg to go and I know I will. That’s another 37 lbs to go.
So happy. It really works. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks for sharing your progress and your method! It’s very helpful and inspiring information ❤❤❤
- Three things that changed my life:
1. started watching health videos
2. I read the book called: Health Secrets Industry Hides
3. I stopped eating processed foods
Thanks for sharing that
totally love your comment
will check that out
I actually finished that book 3 weeks ago
Would also recommend it
Wow wow wow.
At first I said : "oh man, not this topic again. I have already all the information I need."
And then I start listening : amazing! After a few minutes I am 100% all ears, wanting to hear more! This guy explains perfectly, like nothing I've ever heard until now, and the facts and knowledge. I will have to listen to this twice, because there a lot to grasp.
Thank you Steven for bringing this him as well.
Me too 😊
I'm the same. At first I was skeptical about watching it because insulin resistance and glucose spike has been a topic here. But it looks like there's a lot more to learn and I'd like to dig deeper into it to understand.
Am about to listen …thanks. Also just wanted to say how I very much appreciate all the alternative health stuff you do…I know mainstream health doesn’t like the alternatives and puts our all sorts of negative stuff re this and testing etc but am glad to see you are still doing it as I am more than certain that the alternatives help so many. Many thanks especially for the health podcasts Steven. I am sure people will continue to listen to them despite any pushback.
I have his book and it’s very good also Dr. Jason Fung who follows along the same lines as Dr. Benjamin Bikman
Lots of other great interviews with Dr. Bickman, but this is likely the most comprehensive.
Dr B is the man, I am a double certified Internist and ER physician. His clinical and pathophysiology is beyond reproach. Never miss his content. Besides I lost 140 lbs and put DM2 into remission. Why give insulin to hyperinsulinemic. If I could take back every RX for insulin back and stopped HS snacks my patients would have thrived. Fred Douglas - If there is no struggle there is no progress
Thank you. Heros aren't just 1st responders.
Pretend we have no lab. Is he saying we should intermittent fast & keto diet?
@@randomfun3845That's exactly what I'm thinking. And make sure to include meat/fish in your diet.
I think he'll be offended that you called him Dr. B. He actually said his own name 46 times during the episode, I counted. 😂
I’m a psychiatrist and I agree with his explanations, insulin resistance adds to mental health concerns too especially depression and anxiety
I was pre-diabetic and high blood pressure, refused to go on medication, started carnivore diet to control my insulin and everything back to normal. The biggest shock for me was the advice I ignored would have kept on horrible metabolic path, thanks Dr B and Jason Fung sharing they're lives work with us. Giving us real advise that isn't profiting drug companies.
Did you experience brain fog etc before things settled down? I’ve tried a few times but feel terrible
Can you share what you ate for breakfast lunch and dinner?
Consider fasting also.
@@Thriving_Tribesmen God is Good! Keep pushing young man.
@@lucyilly428 I've experienced the opposite, as DR B mentioned, the brain prefers ketones, I've been more altert and don't suffer energy crushes as well improved sleep, you might have experienced keto flu, when your body is becoming fat adapted you’ll experience discomfort, what worked for me was to increase the fat, i’m guessing you voiding adding or under ate fat, you’ll be surprised how much you need, especially on that transition period.
I rarely comment but this is THE best video on this channel for the value to humanity. I don't think we can underestimate the information and wisdom conveyed here in a way that most listeners can understand. This is the gift of reversing most, if not all illness, of improving living well into older age and of defying the indefensible cruelty of big pharma and their cronies.
Knowing that sleep deprivation, caffeine, and increased levels in stress finally explains the majority of my health problems. Finally, some answers for why I feel so crappy! I’m glad to learn I can fix it.
OMG I have become so healthy and strong since following Dr Bikman's advice. Stronger in my 50s in the gym than in my 20s, run a 8km in 40min, my mitochondria firing on all cylinders, weigh as much as I did in high school, sleep like a stone, eye sight improved, no mind fog on and on. And was able to do all myself with diet and lifestyle!
Complete liar
Me too! I'm 45 and I am in better shape than I was in my late teens. Huge erections in the mornings too!
@@alucardcount9478 lol
can you elaborate what steps you took to achieve this?
@world-village guys lying
Day off school, my dad made me listen to this & how important in what we eat. Learned more in this 2hrs than a month in school 😂 ❤ u Steven
Your Dad is awesome!
Way to Go, Dad. And good on you for recognizing the value of educating yourself. Have a great year!
Hmmm. Your dad just gave this mom a very good idea!
Good on you for submitting to that 'coercion', and even better for giving it a chance. I'm sure Dad's proud.
Your dad loves you so much 💕
Wow! Wonderful, comprehensive conversation. Very educational and really helpful. Thank you 🙏
As a 78 year old who grew up in the jungles of Sumatra, lived in Holland and finally immigrated to the U.S, I have been arguing with my younger brother an oncologist for 20 years about diet and cancer, my cholesterol was over 300 20 years ago and he was adamant about putting me on statins, but I refused and now am thankful I did. I’ve now developed metabolic flexibility and source between Ketones some carbs and M-Tor. Currently living in SanFrancisco Bay Area and work in the city as a pedicab operator shuttling folks around the city without any motor assistance.
78 and metabolically flexible AND using your body to be physically active like that all day, multiple days!! You're crushing it! Impressive human!
My acupuncturist told me the normal cholesterol used to be 300, and never to take a statin our brains need cholesterol.
Absolute rot...ur exercising on bike saved u not the mumbo jumbo
Congrats. The studies that they’re using to justify treating high cholesterol also show that low cholesterol is more closely associated with death
My grandmother was born in Sumatra and also immigrated to Holland and then America. She is 90 years old and walks around with no cane or walker. She only wears reader glasses.
Absolutely love Ben Bikman: he's not only a great scientist and teacher, but a humble, generous and passionate individual!
When he spoke about the micro biome of our intestinal system, and the fact that it can change in rapid order based on environment, it made me think about the blood work we get done at a doctors. I went to my doctor last year and did bloodwork and it came back with high cholesterol. He immediately recommended that I start statins. I track every single thing that I eat, and I went back and looked at it and saw that the night before I had eaten two pulled pork sandwiches for dinner.I did my blood work that day and a week later my blood work came back perfect. Our blood work changes throughout the day and the fact that we make medicinal decisions that are life slowing and based on a single moment bloodwork is amazing and scary.
It's the bread carbs turning into sugar
Also, cholesterol is the body’s defense against inflammation. It’s a good thing in response to a bad thing.
Agree
Confused .. you ate meat then showed high .. but what did you eat to go normal
@ I started eating a carnivore diet after that first blood work was done. I think it was the sugary drinks, chips, “energy bars”, breads and dressing that I was eating with the meat before switching that actually negatively impacted my cholesterol.
I've been listening to Ben for 5 years and I believe he is one of the key figures saving my life. When I started I was pre dabetic. At 62 I feel better than anytime in the past 30 years.
You guys captured one of his best interviews.
Good job!
This will be an evergreen reference video.
Dr Bikman's advice changed my life about 6 months ago I started a low / No carbohydrate lifestyle and completely reversed non alcoholic fatty liver, lost about 12 kg and felt so much better.
U lost weight because of a calorie deficit, not insulin resistance
Hello l have to know besides eggs of breakfast .. what did you do? I. Confused is cut cut oats ok ? What did you eat and was the fatty liver from alcohol? What did you eat before? Any veggies like greens?
Same!! Lost more than that though. I feel so much better
@@hamzariazuddin424have you even watched all of the podcast you complete weapon
Was going to do a 18 hour fast, but pushed it to 39 hours after listening to this podcast. Shared the podcast with a bunch of people. Thanks for the information and motivation.
Have done 40 day fasts. Disgusting what came out. Eyesight improved drastically.
that is AMAZING...please keep doing it the benefits are amazing...good health is FREE...I've been fasting for 5 yrs and haven't had a seizure since #IfYouAintFastingYouAintLasting 💪🏽
Been following this brilliant man for a long time. I credit him for my ability to avoid medication for T2 diabetes. Best guest yet. Have him back please. The world needs to hear more from him.
Can p ask what foods you eat and do pls..ate u at all female and in menopause?
This is the best podcast on YT - the amount of value that everyone can get from these videos is incredible. I have no doubt that you will have 11 - 13 mil. subs this time next year.
it’s going to be sooner!
What a lovely, humble, intelligent human being is Ben Bickman and a source of so much knowledge and helpful information. Thank you for having him on. I learned a lot.
I was gestational diabetic with both my children. I got NO help or instruction. My daughter has struggled with obesity and PCOS which no doctor diagnosed until after she was 21. Wish I had been given help with this area of my pregnancies. I was so sick with both and ended up getting my tubes tied at 25 years of age because my pregnancies and deliveries were so incredibly horrible for both me and my babies. So glad to hear this being discussed.
Your daughter may not have been diagnosed until age 21 because the condition has not been known for more than a few decades. Haven't read the research lately, but i believe it was discovered to develop in a child/animal when, as a fetus, the fetus was exposed to androgens as it developed in utero.
I believe my daughter suffers from this. I had gestational diabetes with both my kids. My oldest has issues with the development of her breast. I have taken her to an endocrinologist, but all the doctor did was refer us to a plastic surgeon. Idk how to find where to take her to figure it all out.
I'm type 1 and the educational system is really a joke. I was forced to learn everything by trial and error. 28 years later I still find hacks to deal with no insulin and manual delivery. But the knowledge I have gotten about to "cost of food" in insulin is priceless.
@@sarahcruz4483 Don't give up. My daughter saw multiple primary care doctors from the time she was 13 years old on. She finally as an adult (she is now 28) found a wonderful Nurse Practitioner (female) who took her seriously, did some testing, looked at her history and finally diagnosed her with PCOS. Diet and exercise alone did not help her! Wegovy has helped jump start her weight loss. Is it for everyone? no. Is it for some? YES! its heartbreaking for woman with PCOS who have been told they are lazy, or whatever and thats why they are obese. Its devastatingly wrong. Keep looking for a great Physician's assistant/Nurse practitioner! They exist they are just few and far between. Prayers!
@jellybean6778 I totally believe it.
Ugh I’ve just learned SO much about health this year because of your podcasts. I am so grateful for your guests and your show and the hard work you put into it. I’m 35, f, caretaking for my mother with dementia. Since watching a few of the interviews you’ve had this year, I’ve cut out caffeine, alcohol, and sugar, and I keep a smaller eating window and it’s true - it’s better on this side of things. Thank you.
This is probably the most educating and captivating content I have viewed in a long time.
Agreed!
I am a Dr. Bikmam fan and follow his channel. Thank you for having him on. He is brilliant.
One of the best doctors you could have interviewed - thank you so much 🙏 ❤
This is one of the best videos you've released.
Some of it mind blowing.
I know I will watch this a few times just to absorb it all...
Hands down...THE BEST CHANNEL ON HERE! Thank you Steven and the entire Diary of a CEO team! Thank you to all of the guests who also come to share their knowledge! You all are changing lives!
1. Lower your insulin by controlling your carbohydrates (limit your packaged and boxed foods.)
2. Focus on protein and fat. Don't fear fat from protein as it helps you to feel full.
Mediterranean diet was spreaded all over the world but the ones talking about it forget to remind us that people were poor then and they eat 2 meals a day.... mind no processed food no sugar, not tons of coffee, and yeas they eat lots of carbs- bread, pasta, potatoes, beans and legumes, but they were working physicly very hard not behind computers..... and they were fasting too.
And their carbs were prepared very differently - days of soaking beans, days of fermenting dough until they bake the bread, etc.
They drank lots of coffee
About that... It's just our Lenten diet, and we all lie about following it so we don't get in trouble with our priest and our yiayia.
Its almost like humans need to be working out everyday regardless of diet, but that diet specifically is the healthiest...
They're probably forgetting mention it because of the insulin resistance induced dementia their suffering now
This guy explains things so easily making complex processes understandable. Enjoyed this guy
A trust worthy scientist - I hope the world is listening to Dr Ben
I have so much respect for Ben. His book is great and I’ve been listening to him for several years now on various podcasts. I find him very honest, thoughtful and compassionate. A very genuine human being. Great interview. Thanks both.
Hi 👋 pretty lady🌹💕how are you doing today. I was reading the comments and then I saw your comment and I decided to text you, hope you’re okay with that?😊
I started keto 2 months ago, more focussed on meat than anything else (not so many plants in my diet). Not doing it perfectly but i feel so much better. Lost 25 pounds and my anxiety is gone. Depression getting better. I am considering changing career to focus on metabolic health. If anyone is reading this, keep going with keto or carnivore. We are healthy and strong. ❤
Carnivore here. 2 months. First time wanting to live! Feel great
I have the same experience.
Added 30-60 minutes of weightlifting daily in September. Bought adjustable dumbbells to my house.
And. Boy. The combo of high meat and weightlifting is brutal. I’m never gonna stop.
I dropped 12kg over 30 days, In only eating meat, salad and the odd whisky. I was a hardcore weightlifter and stopped training. 160kg down to 148kg so far. Target 110kg 😊
@@mogglie every day is way too much , muscles need rest try splitting your work outs into 4 days of the week
Monday and Tuesday then Wednesday off
Thursday Friday and the weekend off works well for most people . muscle groups you train on Monday you train again on Thursday
and Tuesdays muscles you train again on Friday so your muscles have at least 3 days of rest
obviously you can choose your own days but trust me this will make a world of difference
on your off days you can still do some sport or just go for a walk or swim or something more cardio related
Dr. BB is an amazing teacher, scientist, and human. TY for having him on. I am in the process of becoming a certified Insulin IQ coach and am loving learning directly from Dr. BB and his team!
Amazing. What institution did you select for your education?
How can I learn this?
Fantastic podcast!! It’s doctors like this that deserve full recognition for their incredible knowledge and expertise in this field. As a diabetes educator I urge everyone watching this video to share this with loved ones, let’s put an end to these terrible diseases once and for all.
I don’t know if you’ve seen the BBC attack on Steve. Labelling him and his Podcast and its guest as dangerous. It’s shockingly unbelievable. I’ve watched so many Drs he has had on. Dr Thomas Seyfried is one of my favourites. It is so clear that they don’t want people to be healthy and have real knowledge on how to do it. I live this podcast.
100%
Dr. Bikman also has his own UA-cam channel with tons of content.
The pharmaceutical company companies have gotten too rich and powerful, they are behind trying to get this life saving information from us. That’s why their don’t teach nutrition to doctors.
@@Red_Foxx101have not seen the BBC critics, but i do question some of the information and "expertise" of some of the interviewees. Regardless, it's important to listen and judge for yourself, and also just to know firsthand what others are saying (and sometimes where the bs is coming from).
I felt this was right after thousands of clients and 15 years into the field as a health researcher/advisor. I am SO happy to finally see someone EXACTLY confirm my hypothesis.
I like the way this doctor speaks. He seems to have a very good scientific approach, being clear about the unknowns and giving nuanced explanations. Just based on the way he says things, I would trust his conclusions and pieces of advice
I’m struggling with ME at the moment & Steven Barletts podcasts have provided me with more invaluable information on overall heath than any GP or doctor ever has. Thank you Steven for providing these podcasts. I’m so confident they will help me end my struggle!
This man has confirmed everything I’ve known about my body and I’m no PHD. We need another interview with this man. Bring him back!! - One Love from 🇯🇲
He's interviewed all over the Internet, so you can find lots of him if you look.
Prof Ben Bickman is the best teacher. The most humble person I have ever met.
Nearly a three hour podcast and I could have listened another two hours.
Can't wait to see who is going to be next? I want to predict
Anthony Chaffee, Shawn Baker, Tim Noaks, Robert Cywes, Nina Teicholz, Eric Westman. Malcolm Kendrick, Paul Mason, Lierre Keith, Jane Buxton, Sally Norton to name a few
Eric Westman!!!!!
Yes, very knowledgeable and HUMBLE doctor ❤
Dr. Bikman is a massive heavyweight in the metabolic health scene. I've been following him for many years and he's one of the best, if not the absolute best.
How can someone follow him? Can you advise?
Actually, he’s wrong on most counts.
Is he a medical doctor? What’s his credentials
@@Isabel-of4wq Benjamin Bikman earned his PhD in Bioenergetics and was a postdoctoral fellow with the Duke-National University of Singapore studying metabolic disorders. Currently, his professional focus as a scientist and professor (Brigham Young University) is to better understand the origins and consequences of metabolic disorders, including obesity and diabetes, with a particular emphasis on the role of insulin. He frequently publishes his research in peer-reviewed journals and presents at international science and public meetings.
Name few?@@Gws525
Amazing interview! First person to talk about all benefits of ketones in terms of the brain and inflammation. Dr B is the difference between us saying "Good keto is the key" to "I need to start this today for all these benefits". Thanks so much Steven for bringing Dr B to your podcast and also raising Ozempic with him 🙌
Intermittent fasting, the right nutrition, electrolyte balance, gut microbiome, physical motion, adequate sleep, hydration, stress management, SPIRITUAL FEEDING.
This is what im doing and it works
BIKMAN! My Favorite Metabolic Researcher!!! I am so glad to see him bein interviewed. I watch his Metabolic Classroom lectures on UA-cam , but I've been following this guy for a while. He's matter of fact, to the point, and on the mark on so many topics related to his field. All the research papers that have his name on them and other great smart people are making it better for us to keep track of our health and suffer less.
Your guests are all passionate, high energy people and you engage so well with them. KUDOS!

Another brilliant episode. I cried when Dr B spoke about his mom and wife. His mom would be proud. Great job Stephen 🙌🏾🙌🏾
I had Cushings’s disease from a pituitary tumor. It almost killed me, but due to the constant high cortisol for so many years, from the pituitary tumor pumping out ACTH, I gained 100 lbs in one year, it caused me insulin resistance. And even though I’ve been in remission for several years, but because I have the visceral fat, with the large size fat cells I have not been able to get all the fat off. And the effects of Cushings’s causing insulin resistance, and I have autoimmune disease and extremely high inflammation. 😢
The way Dr Bikman explained this is mind blowing, genuinely the best explanations I’ve ever heard. I understand why the word Doctor means Teacher now
No idea how you find your guests, but one is better than the previous one, it only gets better and better, all of them are amazing!! Thank you!!
I don't think the guests are getting better, just their names got bigger. The previous guests were just as inspiring as the newer ones. I am grateful for every one of them for what they taught me. Thanks Steven for bringing them on.
It would be nice to meet the team! The magic behind the camera ❤ thank you all
I love when someone is so passionate about their subject. Every question was a great question to him. Thanks for the show bro
I love that you have Ben Bikman on here. He needs to educate the world. He’s truly a great example of his message.
I’m just wetting my feet with ketogenic diet but what a difference it’s been. To say it’s been Life changing is an understatement. I am 6’4 and came in just over 245. I came down to 228 in just under 2 weeks. My energy levels sore through the roof and I also don’t need nearly as much sleep. I lost a little over 4lbs sleeping in ONE NIGHT. I eat once a day on none workout days and twice a day on heavy weight lifting day but keep the two meals within a 7 hour period. I also try and squeeze in two 24hr+ fast a week. Just kinda winging it and doing whatever feels good. You guys are the best !
You did not lose 4lbs "by sleeping". You lost water weight.
@@laykehicks8413 still haven’t gained it back ! Water weight would just come back on I would assume no ? I’m sure some of it was water weight but either way my comment is still correct. I woke up and weighed 4lbs less. Certainly didn’t wiz away 4lbs of pee 😂
@ 4lbs is roughly the weight of a decent poop. You can't burn away 4lbs by being stationary nor burn it by wildly exercising for 24 hours straight. Be sure to only weigh yourself after defecating and urinating and before drinking fluids, in the morning or you'll come to a conclusion like that.
Example, a 35yo male who is 250lbs who doesn't eat for 24 hours while continuously exercising for 24 hours would lose 1.5-2.5lbs. It's metabolically impossible for any human to lose 4lbs by sleeping. In order for someone to lose 4lbs by both not eating and continuously exercising for 24 hours they'd have to weigh approx 1000lbs.
@@SteelDeckergood for you keep going! Ignore that guy. The only thing he’s probably semi expert in is video games and junk food.
"Soar through the roof"
"Sore" means that you hurt
Steven, one of the reasons you have a high number of subscribers is because you know how to listen to your guests - you let them answer your questions without interrupting!! You also ask thought provoking and open-ended questions. What a fantastic interviewer you are - thank you!!! I’ve also listened to Ben on multiple occasions and always learn something new from his expertise. What an intelligent and eloquently spoken human being!
What a wonderful speaker who covered so much!
I must say the very best part was at the end: his clear love, devotion, and respect for his wife and family. His testimony of his successful marriage said so much. Thank you!
I’m so grateful that this dr made a clear delineation between type 1 and type 2 diabetes. What a fantastic guest who not only is clearly intelligent and very personable, he explains everything in an engaging, comprehensible manner 👏🏽
There really needs to be a 30-45 minute edit of this . . so many gold nuggets scattered around, many will be missed I fear.
There are time stamps to watch sections. I get what you mean though.
Can you read this or malicous machine shadow banned me here too?
What a great guy. Not just his information/fiel, but his high value on family and his wife.
It is about time Ben appeared on your channel!!!! Kudos to you and your team. 👏👏👏👏
Eating less than 20 total carbs a day. Blood pressure went from 150 over 90 to 125/78 in 5 months.Eye sight is better. Stopped snoring. Dropped 30lbs. Did intermediate fasting 18/6 and also 1 meal a day for about two weeks.
When it's just going for two weeks your calibrate just immensely impact.
ON a similar journey and just amazed with the results.
Do you control your protein too? I really struggle with keto since I also limit my protein intake ( so fats prevail) but then with food choice end up with up to 50 net carbs since I do include some vegetables and fruits daily. I am in ketosis though all the time.
Ben Bikman one of the most qualified person on this subject
As a 62 year old woman when I tried a keto diet for a year I had fat loss and I loved how my mind improved. However, my sleeping became interrupted. I had difficulty falling asleep and staying asleep. My blood ketone levels were anywhere between 1-4 in the morning. I wonder if someone has advice to tweak this diet so it doesn’t wire my brain so I can’t sleep. Would love to try again.
Is this research we heard today done with men and women? There are far more male advocates on ketosis out there than women. Would you consider a podcast focusing on ketosis and women’s health. I know many women would appreciate that.
I am new to your channel and love it. Sharing it now with all my friends. Thank you for interviewing great guests! 🎉
I have the same issue with sleep and the keto carnivore diet. Wake up in the middle of the night and can’t get back to sleep.
Check out Dr Mindy
Watch Steven’s interview with Dr. Mindy Peltz- Author of “Fast Like a Girl”.
I’ve listens to over 10 of your interviews. This is by far the best. Well done. I have to follow up on some of these items to verify but these are things that make a ton of sense
I greatly admire Dr. Bikman! He is articulate and knowledgeable. Thank you for hosting him! I read his two major books: Why We Get Sick and How Not to Get Sick. I found them to be life-saving.
I love love prof Ben Birkman. I have followed him for ages. Thanks for having him 😊
Nothing beats Fasting.
Having the body go into survival mode from time to time resets the entire system…. Brain, organs, muscles etc
Fasting can work wonders in certain situations.
Absolutely, went on a Ketogenic diet and fasted 23hrs a day, never in my life have I dropped weight as fast as I did, 35lbs in 2 months and felt freaking energetic and young...
I have lost weight from cooking home dinners every night at home. My UA-cam channel is all about home cooking
Generally agree, but there can be some side effects which aren't well known (e.g. gall stones), so worth checking with a doctor before starting.
This was hands down one of the most informative podcasts I've watched in a very long time. The knowledge I've gained on what's going on in my body metabolically with regards to insulin levels, ketone production, and the effects of carbohydrates, has completely solidified my past formal science learning. The light bulb 💡 has just come on lol! Thank you so much Steven and team!!!😊
This is seriously one of the most informative videos. Thank you from Cape Town, South Africa.
I’m so grateful for your channel. The generosity of your guests ti share their hard-earned knowledge with us, so we can improve our health and quality of life, is so appreciated. I work from home and listen to you and your guest while doing so.
Thank you for taking Dr Bikman on your show. And whether my suggestion played any role in it, I don't care. This is extremely useful!
Love, loven love Dr Ben's talks. I'm so glad you pulled in a researcher who can truly answer questions on cellular biology.
I really appreciated the light push-back on the topic of ketosis. Conversations that avoid challenging the guests entirely are less helpful. He was able to answer the challenge and become more authoritative in the process. Thank you!
Hello 👋 pretty lady🌹💕how are you doing today and the weather condition like?😊
My mother did aged 99, fill of good health Nd ate meat all her life - she was still mowing the lawn and doing squats at 94 but she did develop frontal lobe dementia in her last few years. So although this is fascinating- she ate meat and still developed it. I'll be researching the Omegas.
One of the best interviews on this channel so far. Thank you.
YES! Ben Bikman is such a great educator/explainer. So excited to see you have him on
This was the video I needed as a PCOS woman, I took so much away from this and am very grateful for this platform! Thank you
Hello 👋 pretty lady how are you doing today and the weather condition like?😊
Fantastic discussion. Here's my story, if anyone cares: For 5 years I was on a rollercoaster of weight loss. I would go on a keto diet and included intermittent fasting - and even full 24-48 hour fasting several times a month. I'd lose 5 lbs (and keep it off) every time I did a 48-hour fast. It was awesome, but came at a price. The problem was, doing this was unsustainable for me. So, I'd fall off the wagon and gain it all back (at the time I didn't understand my addiction to high-carb foods). 7 months ago, I was talking to my brother (who has never been anything but thin), and I asked him how he stays so thin. He said his diet for decades has been focused on mostly eating protein. He had to do it because of his Crohn's disease, but a benefit of that diet is that he doesn't gain weight. Since that conversation, I've taken what I've learned about the keto diet and adjusted it to make it sustainable for me. I eat when I'm hungry, but I only eat low carb. I concentrate on protein and fat. I'd even venture that my caloric intake has not changed from my average American junk diet. I eat a lot calories in the form of fat. This isn't a weight loss diet, it's just how I eat now. I also decided not to step on a scale for 6 months. At six months I did and found I had lost 22 lbs. No exercise. No changes except what I was eating. Though at times I can feel my addiction to high-carb foods, I also find that I feel that addiction most when I'm bored. So, I find things to do and I don't think about it anymore. While the weight loss is nice, the biggest improvement is my brain. I am NEVER tired in the middle of the day anymore. I used to find myself dozing off at my desk at work everyday around 1 or 2 in the afternoon. This never happens anymore. I also sleep better too. In general, I find my mind is much more sharp than it used to be.
The way you describe it, it sounds like you are on a more extreme ketogenic diet now, closer to carnivore and that's working for you. One of the things about carnivore is that many people find it easier to stay on as it simplifies things. You no longer need to worry about how many carbs do this or that vegetable or fruit have. They are all off limits.
Thanks for all everyone does on this channel. I have lost 35 pounds: 5' 10, 145 pounds on a whole food way of life and started working out in the hopes of my children not having to care for me as I age, as I am 60.
Did you see any troubles healed? You feel better? Stronger? Happier? I need motivation. I'm 100 pounds overweight and can't get myself out of bed most days.
@@jhildebrand7447 I’m sorry to hear you’re struggling! Praying for you! Listen to what this doc is saying. Eat clean, unprocessed foods. Focus on getting more protein! Get outside and walk. I’ve heard that when you take a walk it’s like you’re walking away from your stress. Look at the beautiful sky. Enjoy the sunset! There is so much peace at the golden hour.
Get some hand weights and do some strength workouts 3 times a week. UA-cam has tons.
I’m a Christian so I spend time praying and meditating which also helps me get motivated. You are loved!❤🙏 Ps. 16:11, John 3:16
Blessings!!!
@@julieshaw1452 thank you! Especially for the Verses. I feel so lonely. Your comment made me cry. Please pray for me to have strength. I know Good wants me to not give up. Blessings. 🙏
@jhildebrand7447 consistency is what produces change, and your "why" keeps you going so you can stay consistent. When you feel like giving up, just remember your "why." If you stumble, just remember it doesn't erase the miles traveled. Pick yourself up and keep going. ❤
@@jhildebrand7447try slow - start with just omitting carbs and artificial sweeteners as well. Start eating fatty and protein rich foods, made by yourself. Scrambled 4-6 eggs made with clarified real butter will give you energy for many hours. Add good blue cheese as Gorgonzola to beaten eggs and make fantastic omelette. Do not snack - ever. Drink much water and coffee. Eat green vegetables. Forget rice, flour (any), potatoes and other foods with starch. Starch breaks into sugar in minutes inside the stomach. And ask for help anytime you need it! Fingers crossed. This is my 10 months experience and 30£ loss
Thank you for having Ben on your Show! Such a powerhouse of life-saving knowledge and kindness! May both of you strife and live a healthy long and fullfilling life!
Stay blessed!🙏🏻✨
Many Greetings from Germany!
I could listen to Ben Bikman all day. Thank you for having him on!
Ben Bikman is THE Best !!!
So intelligent
BUT also an awesome communicator & teacher
Ben is fantastic !!!
Man at first this dude’s delivery was killing me,
But the information is so interesting i kept watching, he warms up and is actually a great speaker.
Another great interview thanks!
Please, add more languages to automatic translation. Spread this knowledge to even more people. You're doing an awesome job already but a lot non-english speaking communities could benefit from it.
i admire how well they both listen and articulate and convey their thoughts. it's actually impressive
Benjamin is brilliant and so well spoken. I learned a great deal and thoroughly enjoyed every moment. Superb guest!
Yes!! Ben Bickman!! Finally!! “WHY WE GET SICK.”
Hello 👋 pretty lady how are you doing today and the weather condition like?😊
This is amazing especially for me when migraine was mentioned. Skip the sweet breakfast and shift to a savoury breakfast and so no glucose spike will take place and I immidiately had less headache and migraines at Noon. When I take too much sugar still today around 30 minutes later I will develop a headache . So I skipped all added sugar and feel so much better also in energy level.
47:45 Breast cancer is the main cancer for women.
I work in healthcare and it's shocking how many of my female colleagues are getting breast cancer. They're shift workers and many have a diet of fizzy drinks and they're snacking on junk food during long 12hr shifts. Recipe for disaster healthwise.
woah
Its heart breaking that hospitals don’t offer green smoothies
I can't tolerate green leafy veg, the oxolates play havoc with my osteoarthritis. Not to mention the risk of kidney stones.
Did they take the ubiquitous free prophylactic?
What if it's happening because of an experimental new mRNA based inoculation? One proven to be contaminated with sv40 in the manufacturing process for many batches?
I appreciate Dr. Bikman so much! He’s articulate and knowledgeable. Thank-you for hosting him!
Dr. Bickman gives the most comprehensive explanation i have ever heard on this subject. Just fascinating !!!
So beautiful what he said at the end about his wife! 💖 We all need that kind of support in our personal lives! Love is so powerful!
At 1:41:39 Steven says, "Fat dropped off my body like I've never seen in my life." And that was after being on a Keto diet for "a couple of weeks." That is what sold it for me. Before watching this podcast I thought I'd never try a Keto diet because I could never accept severe restrictions on carbohydrates for long. I'm now willing to try it for at least 4 weeks. Maybe it can help me lose the last 10kg I wanted to lose when I started on Ozempic, but has stubbornly remained as I have plateaued over the last few months.
Good luck! One thing about the Keto diet that I love is Keto food gets boring and is very satiating so you just don't want to keep eating. All of the chemical action going on in your body is amazing but don't forget it'll change your behaviours and relationship with food. Yes, so much food is delicious and I miss it... But I also miss drinking booze all the time and doing drugs! Unhealthy delicious food is a drug and the sooner you remove pleasure from eating, the healthier you become. I still allow a cheat meal here and there just like I still have a few drinks and smoke the occasional joint.
Not sure how Keto will work during or after Ozempic. However, I thought I could not do it but started 2nd January OBESE 90kg small female - February 8 th now 82kg - 1kg a week gone or 2.2lbs a week minimum. Sticking to never more than 20g carbs per day and never eating before noon and never after dark. It’s working for me. I really hope it works for you too. 👏🏻👏🏻
To be honest, as these podcasts are long, I usually cherry-pick the parts that interest me most using the time stamps. But not this time. The guest, Ben Bikman, was such a good communicator that I watched the whole thing, hanging on his every word. Great, well-explained subject matter, put forward in a humble, respectful way with just the right amount of science. Exceptional.
My wife and I put these on when car travelling it’s a great way to burn through the km’s whilst learning revelational information
@@Opendjr A great idea!
You are gonna get swallowed by all the quality lectures , podcasts and intervies Bikman has. Check out his "Metabolic Classroom" series! I often play it when I am doing chores , never hurts to learn something more, right?
The metabolic classroom is 💪. Ben Bikman is the best!
I'm never tardy for the Metabolic Classroom.
@@Metqawhat about low carb on adrenals and thyroid can ladies help
Been following this Guy, Dr Fung, Dr Mason...👍👍👍
In the US there are so many chemicals in the food supply from pesticides to antibiotics and GMO products it's practically impossible to avoid. Fresh Whole Foods are more expensive than the cheap chemically altered crap. School lunches in the US have deteriorated, exponentially in quality and we're seeing more childhood obesity. I would love to hear a podcast, addressing these issues.
I’ll admit, I’m only 45 min into this, as RN for 20+ years I’ve never heard IR explained so clearly! I hope he explains next how meds (Tacrolimus)that cause IR affect this process, so I can overcome this nightmare. Thank you Steven-
Thank you so much for this episode! I love Ben Bikman. It would be really nice if the fitness and nutrition community/industry got onto this.
