Judy, as a Type 2 diabetic, after watching hundreds of videos on nutrition, IMHO you are a great interviewer of key leaders in nutrition science. You ask very intelligent, perceptive questions to get the most out of your interviews. While I discovered keto diets to control diabetes before I found your channel, I was able to normalize my thyroid output after many years on synthroid by using iodine after seeing your interview with Dr. David Brownstein. You are doing a great service for public awareness of the latest nutrition science. Thank you.

@22:20, Ketones & Ketoacidosis: I am 66yr woman who started carnivore 4mths ago, past menopause so not pregnant but, I landed in the ED at about 3mths of carnivore with Ketoacidosis, lactic acidosis, and blood work that was filled with H's and L's. Doctors didn't have an answer, I think it was my liver finally being able to release stored up toxins all at once and poisoning my body. Truth is, it was miserable and frightening, but I feel so much better now. Still carnivore and still healing... Praise God for meat!!!
I had a different bad experience. I had been eating low-fat high-carb for decades and then suddenly switched to eating high-fat low-carb, four years ago. My gallbladder couldn't keep up. It had become filled with sludge and a big gallstone. Apparently bile backed up into my liver and overflowed into my bloodstream giving me sepsis. Bad news. But I'm healthy now enjoying an almost carnivore diet.
What were your meals? And did you feel a mental clarity and calmness all of a sudden when you entered ketosis? How many days after did you get acidosis?
@@Hossheq4w5 I was eating beef bacon butter and eggs. I woke up at about 3am with heavy uncontrollable vomiting, that's all I know. I didn't start tracking my ketones until after the ER trip.

I agree, I was so confused as to how to cure my recent prediabetes until I purchased a CGM. Dr. Ede explained glucose and insulin so I can fully understand. Nutrition for mental health is heart warming, mental health affects every family. God Bless you both, thank goodness Judy showed up in my queue this morning, I subscribed.
Georgia said the CGM is the most empowering thing for people. This is why the pharmaceutical industry, big food and establishment dictors are against CGMs. They don't want you to be empowered because that hurts their bottom line. This has been an ongoing issue.
Thank so much for explaining the connection between what we eat and various health issues. It is also useful to understand what to exclude from our diet. 👍
I got one of the new non-prescription CGMs several weeks ago, and it seems to work fine. I used to use a Libre Freestyle CGM, and this is comparable. If you haven't tried one and have any blood sugar issues, they are a revelation - so much better than finger sticks. You can really see what foods are doing to your blood sugar.
Just a word of warning, that they can have pretty serious artifacts from how they measure blood glucose. Anything that affects blood flow will impact the measurement. When sleeping and lying on the arm you will get a "compression low". If you are not diabetic, turn off the alarms because they will happen likley multiple times a night. On the other side anything that increase flood flow increases the value. one is "hot" showering, actually just warm is enough, the other is physical exercise and even my basic stretching routine is enough to show a small spike, my gym workout, resistance training only, leads to gigantic spikes. These devices don't measure in the blood but the "liquid between the cells". blood vessels aren't 100% tight so some glucose leaks out. If you increase or block the flow, there is much more or much less glucose leaking, leading to an wrong reading. Besides that they can be quiet inaccurate and in an unpredictable way. It can be 10nmol/l too high for hours and then somehow it "self corrects" and it's almost comparable to blood prick. So in essence one should only use them to access spikes caused by food and how fast it comes down again and not worry too much about the actual numbers.
@@beginner1991 All exercise increases glucose. Body builders get spikes when lifting but the muscles soak it up. You're right that the cgm is best to assess what foods are giving the big spikes.
We’ve heard from a few clients that this non-Rx CGM works decently. It’s a lot more affordable. Look up hello lingo. (I didn’t try it so don’t know for sure).
I've learned from Craig Emmerich that if you overstep your own personal fat threshold, you can keep insulin levels steadily elevated which can also lead to insulin resistance. So, it's important to keep track of fat intake as well as eating low carb.
Here’s the hard part for me: I’m a Christian and the Bible mentions bread- a lot. Personally, I’m feeling so much better without grains but I wonder if we should eat it sparingly and trust in Gods providence. I will take Jesus in the form of bread on Sunday but will rarely if ever have it otherwise…anyway, my ramblings that may not matter to some.
They made it with just 2 ingredients and it was very popular in the Bible. We are being poisened with processed foods, and GMO toxic chemicals , personal care products, prescription....
Things changed, there were no GMO back then, people didn’t eat so frequently, people fast (unintentionally ) ie people ate dinner and stopped (fast) until next day breaking the fast so they used to fasting
Magnesium or taurine can lower glutamate levels so magnesium taurate ! I read a study on Pubmed that used magnesium taurate for 7 days and depression and anxiety was gone .
Unfortunately I've been using the over the counter cgm Stelo and it's pretty inaccurate for my wife and I. The only good thing is, for me at least is that it's consistent in its inaccuracy. It reads about 20 points higher than blood test at all times. So at least I can see basic trends.
My ketones consistently run .2, .3 or .4. I am eating almost carnivore and way less that 20 g carbs always, intermittent fasting and have lost 28 lbs. since June 2. My only non-carnivore is occasional 1/4 cup kefir to restore micro biome per my gastroenterologist for diverticulitis, which is a few carbs. I am getting the results and went from 217 to 188 - 189. Eating 1200 to 1600 calories/day, which is low I know but lots of energy.
I would call kefir part of a carnivore diet, myself since the milk comes from an animal. I guess kefir can be made from coconut milk, but I would consider dairy products as animal products, this carnivore.
Man no wonder I couldn't lower my inflammation and lose weight. I was thinking isolate whey protein was good. Also 1 year into carnivore, when I fast for 15+ hours for my blood test, my ketones go to 7.8 according to the blood/urine test. Not sure if I should worry about it.
@@underated17the adverse health effects are well documented since we started agriculture 12k years ago or so... Tooth decay is just one of the effects, but pretty much any modern disease blamed on "bad genetics" is probably caused by eating grains and modern fruit.
@@gabrielbarrantes6946 I have a rare blood type supposedly adjusted more to modern agriculture, I seem to feel great eating grains and whole grains and a variety of plant foods. I am not sure if that has something to do with it.
I think there are three ways to measure ketones. Urine strips, ketone monitors and breath readers. I believe each of those measure a different kind of ketone.
Effects of whole grains on insulin resistance in overweight and obese adults: a Meta-analysis] ”Conclusion: Daily intake of 140 g to 160 g of whole grains improves FPG (fasting plasma glucose) levels in overweight and obese adults.”
@8:02 "because you can't fortify a whole food" you should try and compare the eggs from my chickens with the eggs from any store,,I'll bet mine have been fortified. Great talk btw.
My depression and painic attacks for 35 years are gone with keto and carnivore. I had to take medications for 35 years. No medications now. Cronic insomnia gone too.
@Ceej474 I became kieto first. I have Ibd and first gave up grains and beans after reading books on gut health. Then eventually dairy and fruit jad to go. When I added magnesium in large amounts. Ionic. 800 mg it really made a huge difference for me. That's when I felt so much better and got off medications. So it was graduall for me. I was so depleted in magnesium. I oould not tolerate fiber from vegetables and had to stop them too. I eat alot of fish because I digest it well, venison elk beef all ground . 3 egg yolks week. I don't do great with eggs yet either. Suet and coconut oil. I have a hard time with animal fat right now. Still healing 2 autoimmune diseases and oxalate dumping symptoms too. Great moods though.
The 5 foods as particularly harmful to brain health: Processed Foods: High in refined sugars and unhealthy fats, which can lead to inflammation and cognitive decline. Sugar: Excessive sugar intake is linked to depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues. Trans Fats: Found in many processed and fried foods, trans fats are associated with increased risk of Alzheimer's and other brain diseases. Refined Carbohydrates: Foods like white bread and pastries can cause blood sugar spikes and contribute to brain fog and mood swings. Artificial Sweeteners: These can disrupt gut bacteria and negatively impact brain function
At mark 9:44, Dr. Ede may have confused some viewers by saying that one can lose the ability to turn glucose into carbohydrates for energy. It is, of course, just the opposite: turn carbs into glucose for the brain.
Here are the views of the medical community on the keto diet. First, regarding meat consumption: Not strictly necessary: While keto often emphasizes higher fat intake from sources like meat, it's not a strict requirement. Plant-based fats (avocados, nuts, seeds, olive oil) can also be primary sources of energy on keto. Quality matters: If meat is included, the medical community generally recommends leaner cuts and emphasizes the importance of overall dietary patterns, not just individual foods. Regarding legumes and the keto diet: Nutrient-dense: Legumes are rich in fiber, protein, and essential nutrients, which are generally considered beneficial for health. Carb content: The main reason legumes are often limited on keto is their carbohydrate content. However, some legumes (like lentils) can be incorporated in moderation depending on individual carbohydrate goals. Not inherently "bad": The medical community generally does not view legumes as "bad" for health. They can be part of a healthy diet. Overall views on the ketogenic diet: Potential benefits: There's evidence suggesting keto can be helpful for certain conditions like epilepsy, and some studies show potential benefits for weight loss and blood sugar control in the short term. Sustainability and long-term effects: Concerns remain about the long-term sustainability and potential risks of keto, such as nutrient deficiencies, kidney stones, and elevated cholesterol levels. Individualized approach: Most medical professionals emphasize that dietary needs are individual. What works for one person may not work for another. Key takeaways: Balanced perspective: It's crucial to get information from reliable sources and consider a balanced perspective. Consult a professional: If you're considering keto or any significant dietary change, consult a doctor or registered dietitian. They can help you assess if it's appropriate for your individual needs and health conditions. It's important to remember that nutrition science is constantly evolving. Stay informed and make choices that align with your health goals and values.
Dr. Ede doesn't like legumes nor whey as a protein source. As someone who does resistance training, what would be an acceptable source of protein that doesn't require cooking?
Intake of whole grain foods and risk of type 2 diabetes: results from three prospective cohort studies ”Conclusion: Higher consumption of total whole grains and several commonly eaten whole grain foods, including whole grain breakfast cereal, oatmeal, dark bread, brown rice, added bran, and wheat germ, was significantly associated with a lower risk of type 2 diabetes.”
I take it in acute inflammation. However it is not recommended for teenagers as it can postpone puberty. Hence, it messes up hormones by reducing it. As a 53yo woman, i most certainly don't want to reduce my hormones.
I would like to see some statistics about the success on carnivore. Having done first 4 years on mixed keto and going on full animal based keto and further on full carnivore since, I have moved more towards optimal health with a mitochondriac paleo approach. My way of lifestyle has saved me tons of money and unimaginable health. It involves the skill of exclusion, which I learned during my five year carnivore experiment, that is exclusion of all things not existing in the past. My "past" is since 1800. This pretty much involves all electrics used and all chemicals used. As it is clear at this point that is impossible. We all are subjected to constatnt non-native electromagnetic pollution from the skies above and from the wiring in our urban living environment. But that is where I will be going non the less. Why? You might ask? Because the signaling system of all life forms on this planet, are sensitive to magnetic differences more than 10 000 times less than what we confront every day 24/7. Knowing the mechanism and understanding it is another matter than living according to it.
High oxalate foods also cause mental health issues. See videos by Sally K. Norton, also her book “Toxic Superfoods.” My anxiety gone after going to low oxalate diet.
While legumes in general are not great for human consumption, sprouted and subsequently fermented legumes are excellent. An example is natto, which is soybeans fermented by Bacillus subtilis, the richest source of Vitamin K2 or menaquinone, essential for reversing osteoporosis by mobilizing Calcium from soft tissue into bones.
Wish I could heal and know what to do foodwise so many opinions and praying for direction and healing for so long and Just getting worse and more disease and uncurable progressive damage and dont know what to do foodwise
Unrefined carbs may be worse than refined carbs. Refined carbs still have the bran and germ. This is where the anti-nutrients such as phytates and lectins reside. Not that I recommend it but white flour for example is merely the endosperm of the kernel pure. Not as bad as including phytates and lectins.
Thanks, awesome information. I was wondering while Dr. Ede was talking about melatonin, since Vitamin D is also a hormone could taking it as a supplement disrupt this system as well? My issue, until going ketovore, was pain and fatigue when taking a vitamin D supplement, (I had possible Lyme, post-sepsis Lyme syndrome, dx was Juvenile arthritis, also chronic TBI from sports in adolescence) so I’m really trying to work on my mental health, but also keep immune system working properly. My Vitamin D level was in range recently (41), I’m wondering if I’m processing it better because I upped the fat significantly on this animal-based diet/lifestyle. I wonder if the supplements weren’t causing toxicity because I just could not process the Vitamin D out of my fat cells on the SAD (sans seed oils and most processed foods)
When I first started eating ketogenic, including meats in my diet and removed carbs, my vitamin D level shot up without me even taking a supplement. My doctor was very pleased and said “whatever you’re doing keep doing it!” I now take vitamin D liquid with K2 in Winter as we don’t get much sun in the UK. But I think a keto/carnivore diet definitely improves vitamin D metabolism.
The descriptions on your quick links to sections of the video is not the most accurate, examples - reference to whey protein and insulin spikes and nothing learned about whey protein.
What about the doctors who fasted for 5 days while running 20 miles a day and being diabetic type 1. ? They didn't have any issues and had more energy than ever
We also know that not all whey protein is created equal… There’s isolate and concentrate; there’s organic and nonorganic and grass fed; there’s all natural and with additives. The whey protein I use is from raw dairy, grass fed Jersey cows (A2), all natural with no additives… What are your thoughts on this type of quality whey protein?
protein powder should only be used under certain circumstances. For example, if you're out camping, and can't carry fresh meat. Or for a cancer patient who can't keep food down. It's 'worse case scenario". If you're trying to lose weight, like Dr. Ede's said, whey protein powder (any type) will spike your insulin the same as glucose. Long term, you should be trying to control that.
Refined Seed oils, alcohol, refined carbs, legumes, grains

Things changed, there were no GMO back then, people didn’t eat so frequently, people fast (unintentionally ) ie people ate dinner and stopped (fast) until next day breaking the fast so they used to fasting
What does Dr. Ede think about the use of MCT oil?
Loved Dr. Ede's book! Middle Tennessee Rita ❤
Yes, she’s amazing! She is one of my favorites. ♥️
This was brilliant
lengthy, but very good and nuanced
How can I find information on her course to take for ketogenic diet please
Thank you both for sharing this important information.
Excellent info! Thank You!
This was your Best guest ever. Wow. ❤
Magnesium or taurine can lower glutamate levels so magnesium taurate ! I read a study on Pubmed that used magnesium taurate for 7 days and depression and anxiety was gone .
Hi Judy I would love to hear an interview with Dr Jamnadas
Oh yeah, good idea.
Unfortunately I've been using the over the counter cgm Stelo and it's pretty inaccurate for my wife and I. The only good thing is, for me at least is that it's consistent in its inaccuracy. It reads about 20 points higher than blood test at all times. So at least I can see basic trends.
Thank you for sharing
Great video, love your content, Judy; but woooo, what an unflattering pic of Dr Georgia Ede for the thumbnail.
My ketones consistently run .2, .3 or .4. I am eating almost carnivore and way less that 20 g carbs always, intermittent fasting and have lost 28 lbs. since June 2. My only non-carnivore is occasional 1/4 cup kefir to restore micro biome per my gastroenterologist for diverticulitis, which is a few carbs. I am getting the results and went from 217 to 188 - 189. Eating 1200 to 1600 calories/day, which is low I know but lots of energy.
I would call kefir part of a carnivore diet, myself since the milk comes from an animal. I guess kefir can be made from coconut milk, but I would consider dairy products as animal products, this carnivore.

Man no wonder I couldn't lower my inflammation and lose weight. I was thinking isolate whey protein was good. Also 1 year into carnivore, when I fast for 15+ hours for my blood test, my ketones go to 7.8 according to the blood/urine test. Not sure if I should worry about it.
That's not a very long fast to have ketones go that high. I would be concerned....
@@eleanorsendeavors29 yah it's sky high. But I always feel okay so I dunno. 😅 But I usually do 2MAD or 3MAD cuz I hunger. I don't like fasting.
Two of my faves together ❤
Is this the wife of the protein power Dr? He was my first real try at keto.
Wow the doc is looking younger and younger😃
ppl keep say that whole grain is better than refined. our molars tells that we not supposed to eat any grain at all, see if you can figure this out.
I thought grain was a perfect human food until we messed it up?
Don't eat any grain...it may be useful for bulking up combined with meat but it has not health benefits.
@underated17 never was. that's why we have tooth decay, especially our molars
@@underated17the adverse health effects are well documented since we started agriculture 12k years ago or so... Tooth decay is just one of the effects, but pretty much any modern disease blamed on "bad genetics" is probably caused by eating grains and modern fruit.
@@gabrielbarrantes6946 I have a rare blood type supposedly adjusted more to modern agriculture, I seem to feel great eating grains and whole grains and a variety of plant foods. I am not sure if that has something to do with it.
I would like to know if sprouting seeds and legumes removes or reduces toxins.
Is a keytone meter using breath for analysis a good alternative to other measurement methods such as strips and blood? Thank-you.
I think there are three ways to measure ketones. Urine strips, ketone monitors and breath readers. I believe each of those measure a different kind of ketone.
What is the brand of CGM that we can buy without a prescription
I love her! I have her book in my pile of "must read" this year. lol
Effects of whole grains on insulin resistance in overweight and obese adults: a Meta-analysis]
”Conclusion: Daily intake of 140 g to 160 g of whole grains improves FPG (fasting plasma glucose) levels in overweight and obese adults.”
Amazing!!!!!!!!
I love this ♥️♥️♥️
So WHAT are the foods?????
@8:02 "because you can't fortify a whole food" you should try and compare the eggs from my chickens with the eggs from any store,,I'll bet mine have been fortified. Great talk btw.
Really do enjoy these videos but just way too long to appreciate fully.
My depression and painic attacks for 35 years are gone with keto and carnivore. I had to take medications for 35 years. No medications now. Cronic insomnia gone too.
Amazing to hear this! Can I ask how long it took and what your carnivore diet looks like?
@Ceej474 I became kieto first. I have Ibd and first gave up grains and beans after reading books on gut health. Then eventually dairy and fruit jad to go. When I added magnesium in large amounts. Ionic. 800 mg it really made a huge difference for me. That's when I felt so much better and got off medications. So it was graduall for me. I was so depleted in magnesium. I oould not tolerate fiber from vegetables and had to stop them too. I eat alot of fish because I digest it well, venison elk beef all ground . 3 egg yolks week. I don't do great with eggs yet either. Suet and coconut oil. I have a hard time with animal fat right now. Still healing 2 autoimmune diseases and oxalate dumping symptoms too. Great moods though.
”Legumes: the most important dietary predictor of survival in older people of different ethnicities”
Any recommendations on a cgm?
Citation on whey protein please! I love my whey protein and glucose never over 140. Guess I need ketone meter.
Glucose will not rise after taking whey, your insulin will spike, and that is what you should be controlling as well.
The 5 foods as particularly harmful to brain health:
Processed Foods: High in refined sugars and unhealthy fats, which can lead to inflammation and cognitive decline.
Sugar: Excessive sugar intake is linked to depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues.
Trans Fats: Found in many processed and fried foods, trans fats are associated with increased risk of Alzheimer's and other brain diseases.
Refined Carbohydrates: Foods like white bread and pastries can cause blood sugar spikes and contribute to brain fog and mood swings.
Artificial Sweeteners: These can disrupt gut bacteria and negatively impact brain function
At mark 9:44, Dr. Ede may have confused some viewers by saying that one can lose the ability to turn glucose into carbohydrates for energy. It is, of course, just the opposite: turn carbs into glucose for the brain.
Here are the views of the medical community on the keto diet. First, regarding meat consumption:
Not strictly necessary: While keto often emphasizes higher fat intake from sources like meat, it's not a strict requirement. Plant-based fats (avocados, nuts, seeds, olive oil) can also be primary sources of energy on keto. Quality matters: If meat is included, the medical community generally recommends leaner cuts and emphasizes the importance of overall dietary patterns, not just individual foods.
Regarding legumes and the keto diet:
Nutrient-dense: Legumes are rich in fiber, protein, and essential nutrients, which are generally considered beneficial for health.
Carb content: The main reason legumes are often limited on keto is their carbohydrate content. However, some legumes (like lentils) can be incorporated in moderation depending on individual carbohydrate goals.
Not inherently "bad": The medical community generally does not view legumes as "bad" for health. They can be part of a healthy diet.
Overall views on the ketogenic diet:
Potential benefits: There's evidence suggesting keto can be helpful for certain conditions like epilepsy, and some studies show potential benefits for weight loss and blood sugar control in the short term.
Sustainability and long-term effects: Concerns remain about the long-term sustainability and potential risks of keto, such as nutrient deficiencies, kidney stones, and elevated cholesterol levels.
Individualized approach: Most medical professionals emphasize that dietary needs are individual. What works for one person may not work for another.
Key takeaways:
Balanced perspective: It's crucial to get information from reliable sources and consider a balanced perspective.
Consult a professional: If you're considering keto or any significant dietary change, consult a doctor or registered dietitian. They can help you assess if it's appropriate for your individual needs and health conditions. It's important to remember that nutrition science is constantly evolving. Stay informed and make choices that align with your health goals and values.
Thanks ChatGPT I appreciate you showing up to this comments section.
Dr. Ede doesn't like legumes nor whey as a protein source. As someone who does resistance training, what would be an acceptable source of protein that doesn't require cooking?
Meat, eggs, milk. The more raw the more nutrients.
Dr Thomas Chaffee advertises some kind of carnivore bar on his videos...
Buy pre-packaged meats
Beef jerky, beef sticks.
Board certified in holistic nutrition?
Definitely not a registered dietitian. She is fueling food disorders.
What range should my ketones be for fat burning?
Love you girls. AWESOME work xoxoxoxoxo
Intake of whole grain foods and risk of type 2 diabetes: results from three prospective cohort studies
”Conclusion: Higher consumption of total whole grains and several commonly eaten whole grain foods, including whole grain breakfast cereal, oatmeal, dark bread, brown rice, added bran, and wheat germ, was significantly associated with a lower risk of type 2 diabetes.”
Melatonin is a powerful antioxidant which is absolutely good to the health. You should also include this information. Right?
I take it in acute inflammation. However it is not recommended for teenagers as it can postpone puberty. Hence, it messes up hormones by reducing it. As a 53yo woman, i most certainly don't want to reduce my hormones.
I would like to see some statistics about the success on carnivore. Having done first 4 years on mixed keto and going on full animal based keto and further on full carnivore since, I have moved more towards optimal health with a mitochondriac paleo approach.
My way of lifestyle has saved me tons of money and unimaginable health. It involves the skill of exclusion, which I learned during my five year carnivore experiment, that is exclusion of all things not existing in the past.
My "past" is since 1800. This pretty much involves all electrics used and all chemicals used.
As it is clear at this point that is impossible. We all are subjected to constatnt non-native electromagnetic pollution from the skies above and from the wiring in our urban living environment.
But that is where I will be going non the less. Why? You might ask? Because the signaling system of all life forms on this planet, are sensitive to magnetic differences more than 10 000 times less than what we confront every day 24/7. Knowing the mechanism and understanding it is another matter than living according to it.
Where can I purchase the patches that last up to 2 weeks?
What is your opinion of drinking organic grass-fed heavy cream to increase fat in-take?
What about butter? Does it raise insulin?
Great interview
High oxalate foods also cause mental health issues. See videos by Sally K. Norton, also her book “Toxic Superfoods.” My anxiety gone after going to low oxalate diet.
Interesting about alcohol and liver metabolism... priority...v interesting
While legumes in general are not great for human consumption, sprouted and subsequently fermented legumes are excellent. An example is natto, which is soybeans fermented by Bacillus subtilis, the richest source of Vitamin K2 or menaquinone, essential for reversing osteoporosis by mobilizing Calcium from soft tissue into bones.
I love your shirt . Can you share where you got it from? 😊❤ thank you.
Wish I could heal and know what to do foodwise so many opinions and praying for direction and healing for so long and Just getting worse and more disease and uncurable progressive damage and dont know what to do foodwise
Unrefined carbs may be worse than refined carbs. Refined carbs still have the bran and germ. This is where the anti-nutrients such as phytates and lectins reside. Not that I recommend it but white flour for example is merely the endosperm of the kernel pure. Not as bad as including phytates and lectins.
Excelente informação. Gratidão imensa
And others say legumes are super when properly prepared
Thanks, awesome information. I was wondering while Dr. Ede was talking about melatonin, since Vitamin D is also a hormone could taking it as a supplement disrupt this system as well? My issue, until going ketovore, was pain and fatigue when taking a vitamin D supplement, (I had possible Lyme, post-sepsis Lyme syndrome, dx was Juvenile arthritis, also chronic TBI from sports in adolescence) so I’m really trying to work on my mental health, but also keep immune system working properly. My Vitamin D level was in range recently (41), I’m wondering if I’m processing it better because I upped the fat significantly on this animal-based diet/lifestyle. I wonder if the supplements weren’t causing toxicity because I just could not process the Vitamin D out of my fat cells on the SAD (sans seed oils and most processed foods)
When I first started eating ketogenic, including meats in my diet and removed carbs, my vitamin D level shot up without me even taking a supplement. My doctor was very pleased and said “whatever you’re doing keep doing it!”
I now take vitamin D liquid with K2 in Winter as we don’t get much sun in the UK. But I think a keto/carnivore diet definitely improves vitamin D metabolism.
The descriptions on your quick links to sections of the video is not the most accurate, examples - reference to whey protein and insulin spikes and nothing learned about whey protein.
What about the doctors who fasted for 5 days while running 20 miles a day and being diabetic type 1. ? They didn't have any issues and had more energy than ever
We also know that not all whey protein is created equal… There’s isolate and concentrate; there’s organic and nonorganic and grass fed; there’s all natural and with additives.
The whey protein I use is from raw dairy, grass fed Jersey cows (A2), all natural with no additives… What are your thoughts on this type of quality whey protein?
Hi Jerry, eat eggs, meat, fish, Greek yogurt to get your protein. Whey protein powder is processed and almost nutrient dead.
protein powder should only be used under certain circumstances. For example, if you're out camping, and can't carry fresh meat. Or for a cancer patient who can't keep food down. It's 'worse case scenario". If you're trying to lose weight, like Dr. Ede's said, whey protein powder (any type) will spike your insulin the same as glucose. Long term, you should be trying to control that.
whey protein isnt needed at all.
What about the benefits of the immunoglobulins and colostrum found in whey powder.
I’m not totally on board that whey powder is not beneficial for us.
I’m thinking that, in smaller doses/amounts, whey powder is probably very beneficial for us.
Eating legumes lifts my mood, while eating and shortly after eating. There must be a reason for that - and it probably means a good thing.
So what is a too low fasting insulin level? Mine is 3.
What to do if you are on carnivore for a few months and then your kidneys begin to hurt and get infections?
Look into Sally Norton's info on oxalate dumping.
