I’m interested to hear Zacks take on this he’s the only vegan doctor I have come upon that actually looks healthy so many of the others claim it is so health full yet look absolutely starved.
There are many vegan doctors that are healthy. I am not a doctor but I am vegan and have been for over 10 years. I have more energy than people in their teens and I am 56. I can do anything they can and more. Whole foods plant-based is the diet for our species.
I think all the diet promoters look terrible, I think it's from running around arguing and talking too much. What you eat isn't the only thing that influences health
This video was incredibly eye-opening and made a lot of sense. I recently switched from a high-carb diet to a ketogenic diet, and I have noticed tremendous benefits with inflammation, energy levels, and holistic mental, physical, emotional, and even spiritual performance. I'm always searching to experiment and learn new things to push past any plateaus, so this has been a great video to bring more knowledge and awareness. I recognize that human beings are incredibly resilient and designed for anti-fragility and syntropic when the seasons of life are honored. Protean consumption is far too great in mainstream diets. It's also the combination as well as the ratios of these macronutrients that can cause problems in the microbiome. I've moved away from overeating meat proteins, and my diet has been slowly evolving, trying different things. Cheese or dairy hasn't worked for me as I'm lactose intolerant, but I recently discovered heavy cream, which has zero protein and zero grams of carbs. I've found it to be an excellent source of fat(going raw, organic, non-GMO); combining it with cod liver and cod liver oil, an incredible array of vegetables(vast amounts of mushrooms and seaweed are my favorite), and eggs are a superfood in its own right, has a quick digestive transit time too). I noticed the recommendations for nuts, seeds, and grains. My research has found that they all contain phytic acid and have high levels of oxalates, which can disrupt the bioavailability of minerals, electrolytes, and nutrients. I've also noticed that when I eat those items mentioned above, I get tired, and I also have seen a dip in my performance(I barefoot run, train martial arts, and train with HIIT protocols). When I attempted Keto several years ago, I fell into the marketing trap with "Keto friendly" snacks and recipes that relied on all kinds of processed junk and artificial sweeteners + consumed WAY too much meat proteins. This time, I honored the ratios of fats to proteins to carbs and feel incredible. I also spend several hours a day training outdoors, barefoot, on the shore, where I'm getting optimized grounding and solar energy, which helps signal positive epigenetic upregulation. I foresee more experimentation with a plant-based approach to nutrition. Still, I've also come to recognize that dogmatic "diets" subconsciously may be limiting the true potential of our human genome's ability to adapt to our environment and survive and thrive off of many different paths of managing energy levels and performance. I'm curious and open to any discussion on this topic. Is phytic acid and oxalates not an issue with grains, nuts/seeds? Thank you for this incredible video! I first discovered Dr. Zach Bush from his video on Afterskool on chemical farming and its effects on autism. I highly recommend books from Dr. Tomas Cowan on the subject of vaccines, autoimmunity, water, and cancer. Great stuff.
Just a snap : lactose intolerant . It is an disease . A disease . Talking to much too .Me , reading (short) comments for fun . Biochemical and physiological illiterates blabbering
Well said...!!! I prefer ketogenic diet of Dr. Gundry - which different from the keto diet that is prevailing. The ratio of quality protein should be around that contained in mother's milk - that is around 5-6%.
I usually love what Zach Bush teaches and his heart is so pure. But there is some deep education New studies and personal testimonies on meat consumption and fat/proteins that has healed people from so many illnesses and mental disorders.
Not for everyone. Truth is good healthy meat is not available for people on a budget; these same people are consuming bad meat as much as or vegetarians are consuming bad carbs
@@jayajora I don’t think you need a high quantity of meat, but some may be needed. I have a hard time eating a high enough cooking of food without meat to keep me fueled. Esp for my needs in being active,
lol I remember as a kid growing up in the 60s in Holland, we had meat but not lots of it. Had a piece of chicken on a Sunday, had horse steak on a saturday and meatballs/ beef weekdays as that was cheap. Having a paper cone with chips from the local chippie was a treat. Candy hardly existed there was a very limited choice. Same with crisps. We were active all day long, we didn't have mobiles or laptops or internet. You met people and you communicated in person or over the telephone. Life was a lot simpler for sure. I pity these generations now growing up with all the crap around us. And no one bothered about proteines or vitamines. Yet we were all healthy and slim and the veg had nutrients in them. Even the bread had nutrients compared to today :)
Thank you so much! I went back to eating a lot of animal products, tho to be fair too much gluten. My body isn’t happy. I am going to commit to a month of vegan to see what shifts in my body. I have been meat free most of my life and at times fish free and occasionally vegan. I know my heart prefers also a vegan lifestyle. I am tired of the push for keto and paleo. Skinny doesn’t necessarily mean healthy.
This is not how our ancestors ate, and a totally unnatural way of eating for people in eastern Europe for example, who have very few plants growing from Sep-April. Scandinavians shipping in fruits and plants from Southern hemisphere is NOT natural is it?! Particularly when they have animals, milk, cheese, cream eggs etc etc.
@@FINDINGFITNESS101 Hunter gatherers in parts of the world that experience winter were never eating just meat to get through it. From April to October they would be drying things like nuts, seeds, stalks, leaves, roots, and berries, as well as meat, in order to preserve for winter. It doesn't matter that no plants grow in the winter because hunter gatherers practice food preservation.
What are talking about animal products do not have that much gluten. Grains have gluten the most, and certain vegetables such as legumes have lechtins that have similar effect of glutens. You cant run away from toxic shit. You gotta balance it out. Also keto is great for losing weight but weight lost is too much for a long time use it. Although low carb is important for keeping insulin tolerance in check which causes every single chronic disease in the body including diabetes, atherosclerosis, kidney failure, fatty liver etc. In low-carb diet you dont need to go keto just lower your carb intake below or about 100 grams or more if you exercise a lot.
I believe it what he says I lived in Eastern Europe during the communism and we only eat meat on Sundays and there was no disease, no cancer no depression no obesity and we eat lots of carbs and fruits and veggies so I know from my own experience, that’s the healthiest diet
There also wasn't dozens of grocery isles filled to the brim with processed sugary foods filled with soy lecithin, gmo corn, emulgators and more. Good luck actually finding clean ground beef in eastern Europe that does have a whole bunch of flour, soy, and preservatives inside. That's why disease is up, not because neat was restricted to Sunday back in the day.
Most people in my eastern European country can't afford to buy meat to eat every day or in every meal. But there's an epidemic of the fastest growing death rates. People are dropping down in their 40s and 50s.
Yes the food was different than, do you remember the wheat fields? Talk, now they are geo modified, grow 30 inches with larger yield. You lived probably In the city and it was communism with meat only once per week because they would "give us" vouches. Most people supplemented meat from farmers. Lots of meat through that way.
3 biggest lies we are told: 1) Eat more protein. 2) Milk is the best source of calcium. 3) Man can make food, water, and supplements better than mother nature
Dr McDougall in his 70’s now has been fighting for the same things, all you good doctors should get together and start a school for all ages! Dr John Bergman is a chiropractor but so much more too! I injured myself in my 30’s went through so many of the wrong doctors, now 31 years later I’m trying to take control of my life by connecting and watching UA-cam but the powers that be don’t want us to know the truth and the wrong ways are so ingrained in people they are afraid to try something new! The reason Ive totally changed my diet, pots and pans, personal product and cleaning products is because I want to live!!! Health is a way of life sickness isn’t! Thank you for helping us, there are those eager to learn, education is everything and it never stops…
Come on Zach, cows and horses have a totally different digestive systems designed to eat grass and extract the nutrients from it. They have several stomachs or something along those lines. But from their teeth and mouth and to their colons they are DESIGNED to eat grass. Humans are designed to be omnivores it’s clear. Dogs and cats do best on mostly meat, animal fats and bone. Dogs can swallow whole chunks of bone and meat and their digestive systems love that. Wolves often eat the stomachs and intestines of their pray with its predigested plant material and micro biome. So to compare humans to cows or horses with muscle mass as if humans could attain that from eating grass is ludicrous.
What slows digestion is fat, not protein. Food does not "rot" in our digestive system. We have a microbiota that takes care of any food we take in. What damages our gut are all the endogenous toxic substances we nowadays ingest that chemical companies have created over the last 100 years!!!
i have been on a journey to what I call "alignment through adaptation". It's like driving a bumper car and getting hit from every side. Dr. Bush is coming from a pure heart, as I feel his commitment and passion towards his own journey. I am a 53 year old male, 6' 2", 201 lbs and I have digestive issues since I was a kid, that I take 100% responsibility for. (too much sugar and junk food, too much reckless Abandon as I call it... = BAD ENVIRONMENT ). Now I am on a healing journey. WOW! Keto really helped me get fit and lose my gut. Intermittent fasting reset my cravings and I consistently stay around 200 lbs with lean muscle. I am the strongest I have been in my life (former Rugby Forward). My physical Body is fit, more defined and lean. My cognitive awareness is clear and creative. I feel more in touch with the earth, with my sons, with Life. I have been all over the map with nutrition. Plant based however, DOES make me bloat and the Stomach pains (I call it the Rodeo) leading up to a bowel movement is quite awful. I raise my own beef now and Since I I.F and eat only one large meal per day, I find the stomach cramps are gone, the bowel movements are painless and the "urge to go" more frequent. I am NOT healed by any means but I am actively searching and trying different methods. I look to Dr. Bush for help and I resonate with his wisdom and delivery methods especially on Epigenetics. I am aware enough to know that I WANT to find supporting arguments for eating MEAT, but I also am aware enough to know that my Environment is determined by ME, therefor my HEALTH is determined by me. I can ADAPT. SInce everyone has DIFFERENT environments, I do believe that EVERYONE is at a different level of ADAPTATION. Some of us need more meat, some of us less. I don't like the arguments for ALL OR NOTHING. Also, we've been lied to, coercerced, manipulated and out right k.illed off by Government guidelines. I do not like when Dr. Bush or ANYONE says "WE" NEED TO CHANGE, or "WE" are RUINING the PLANET etc"... WHO is "WE?" We only eat, use, consume, play with, what the GOVERNMENT gives us, based on their guidelines, their support for industries etc. "WE" are NOT the Problem. "Life wants to LIVE". we only Eat what we can get. Just like a Bear in the wild, stumbling on a bag full of house hold garbage, we ADAPT to what is available. WE have been LED to our OWN demise by a controlling group. Yes it IS that SINISTER. Anyways, Commune is doing Great Work as I like to hear all sides.
So most don’t realize that switching to higher fiber after eating mostly high fats(animal protein), your micro biome needs time to adjust to be able to digest higher fiber. It is the biggest reason most have bloat and flatulence going Plant Based. Something to consider.
Having studied vegetarianism back in the late 60s I've been aware of the general misunderstanding of protein that has persisted. Back then the daily requirement for protein was in the 20s for both male and female and years later it was changed to a higher number thanks to the meat industry's influence on the federal governments. When I first became a vegetarian I spent time every day figuring out what my nutritional intake was and I was actually getting too much protein, which made me gain weight, so had to cut back. Much of my information came from Frances Moore Lappe' in her books "Diet for a Small Planet" based on a lot of research. And thank you Dr. Bush for offering your knowledge which is so needed in today's overabundance of altered and toxic foods.
I got fat and sick when I was a vegetarian. Still mopping up my issues and back to eating meat. Pasture raised or wild, if possible. Feeling so much better. And no gassiness!😊
@@traceybaucom5755 The way I see it, it only proves that it works for you. And I'm happy for you, honestly. But it doesn't mean that the whole world should turn vegan.
@@resist2030 I think both of you probably cut out sugar, processed foods and toxic seed oils, which is why you both feel great. I'm vegetarian (62 and no health issues) but I've come to accept that a meat-based diet, or a plant-based diet does not suit everyone. We need to find what works for us. I need to add that for me, the horrendous cruelty of factory farming and the modern dairy industry is the biggest reason I stopped eating animals 37 years ago. Not the only reason, but the biggest.
Is it possible that you are all correct? And clean, animal protein works well short term for some people while a clean plant based, moderate or low protein diet is potentially a better long term option for optimal health in others? Most of those centenarians don’t eat much meat if any…so, that’s something to think about. Thanks Zach, love your passion for living well!
Except no culture ever anywhere in the world for millennial has successfully subsisted on only plant’s based eating. Proper human diet has always been animal and/or seafood with plants on occasion. The Western world has purposely caused all of our diseases especially mental illnesses with diets that keep out red meat
@@suzieqgm643 everything you just said was unfounded, good job! Also, that last sentence has a bit of a paranoid slant, are you sure it isn’t red meat that causes mental illness;) You likely ate too many grains, if you were a vegetarian (a more probable cause for illness, in general). I have an idea, maybe vegetarianism is not right for you🫢 please consider the likelihood of this so we can move on. This argument is outdated, we have genetic information now showing what our preferences and variations are, it’s silly to think we all have the same dietary needs. I mean, if you don’t feel well not eating meat, for heaven’s sake, eat clean meat! How long have we not been listening to our bodies? Do you really need the people in this thread to validate what you put in your body or is your purpose here to invalidate other people’s experiences? Dr. Bush is sharing his educated opinion on this topic and many people appreciate this, even carnivores. If it’s not right for you, good. That means you’re paying attention to your own body. Their are plenty of channels that support your view. Don’t play the victim, no one is out to get you, you’ve just made some poor choices in the past and now you’ve learned…hopefully. Also, shout out to all the Hindus and Buddhist that have survived over the millennia! Lastly, thank you Dr. Bush for all your hard work!
I think Zach is a brilliant guy, but his Idealism on this topic has him searching for a story that supports his beliefs. like others have said current science is leaning more towards showing the importance of protein and animal products in a healthy diet. particularly as you age and lose the efficiency of your protein metabolism. I think there is a different ratio of macro nutrients that's suits different body types and its up to the individual to experiment with basic whole foods to find out what works for them. but it takes letting go of an ideal and just see how you feel , do you have enough energy to exercise. exercise has been shown to be the best thing for heath period case closed. so it makes sense that your diet should have the right type of nutrients to support that habit without leaving you to depleted and causing extended recovery times.
I like you, I discovered you yesterday and it is like finding my mind. I will watch other podcasts with you, when I have more time. Now I will take a walk with my dogs. Thank you.
This was so interesting as my personal health has improved greatly as I've reduced my animal protein significantly. I sleep better, have more energy and my digestion is better. My husband is having the same experience as we eat more and more from our own garden. This might not be true for everyone. Ultimately the mind is powerful and what we believe had so much to do with what we experience. Once I let go of the idea that we've been fed that meat is necessary, things changed. It's optional and I enjoy it every now and then. Actually, I really enjoy it now because it's special.
And with me it’s the exact opposite! However I don’t eat processed meat, I cook it daily and fresh and my stomach has enough hydrochloric acid to digest it.
Every human in the western world needs to watch this video so they can understand the mis-information that they are basing their diet on that effects their being on all levels. Power Zach as always 🙏✨🪷
isn't the food pyramid today plant based?? meat has been vilified for years . but I don't think it's meat. I think it's all the processed food people eat. I've walked the vegan path and I can say I felt weaker during my workouts. my recovery was slow. I'm now animal based , and stronger than I've ever been. I would like to see you present your data and debate Dr. Anthony chaffee or Dr. Gabriel lyons.
@@pammccoy4331 u mean that fake documentary that featured that strongman "world record holder ??" He was called out by Brian shaw , the real record holder at the time. Crickets The other ranked strongman behind shaw, said they never even heard of that guy..and his weights he posted lifting wouldn't even qualify you to compete in the strongman
marc gutierrez - oh Absolutely! would love to see that debate as well. It'll never happen though 😕 Been down same road as you, btw, with same results. Got skinny fat and it completely snuck up on me over 5 yrs. My PT son was beginning to make 'skinny fat' comments to wake me up, which I ignored. Then one day was watching a Tom Bilyeu interview of Dr. Lyon on his Impact Theory podcast. She was, of course, touting animal protein. I was just about to switch her off - because...afterall I WAS vegan - but she just happened to mention 'skinny fat' - AND sarcopenia AND the perils of being undermuscled🤯. I didn't switch her off, but sat there enthralled with her and that interview. Reverted back to Omnivore that day! Not just Omnivore, but high protein. Animal protein! Signed up for her newsletter - took her course on protein & fitness - never looked back. Feel great, and strong and healthy👍 (and...no longer 'undermuscled') 😉
It’s not the meat per se. It’s what they feed and put into the animals like antibiotics, grain, gmo corn that’s been sprayed with poisons like glyphosate.
Hope you are being facetious and dont really believe this. I upvoted you, thinking this was a facetious comment, then I took it back thinking maybe you believe it. HA!
I eat a balanced diet...I live in Central America, we eat alot of beans, corn tortillas, fruit and I eat green vegtables...I love fish and the occssional red meats....Eat a variety of things, just not too much meat, but some.
So, if you want to hear every tired, disproven myth about protein, this is the video for you. Once you want to find out the latest scientifically supported views on protein, search for Dr Ted Naiman’s series of videos and his book, or Dr Jason Fung’s (a nephrologist... kidney doctor) and his full debunking of the “protein is bad for your kidneys”.) Zach is spot on about Coofid and glyphosate and statins, but needs to update himself on protein.
Yes, I greatly admire Zach Bush but am surprised by this video. I'm 65 and spent decades eating a plant-based diet, feeling great...until I didn't. Plant toxins harm us slowly, making it difficult to tease apart the true sources of our ailments. I listen to one expert now: my own body. It thrives on meat, especially fatty meat. 🥩
@@alikigia nobody follows those guidelines. It’s not fair to blame guidelines that nobody follows. Fat is to be consumed sparingly in the food pyramid- do we really believe Americans are eating a low fat diet? Carbs will not make you fat unless you are consuming fat with them.
@@alikigia I mean im all for trying new things and testing what works for the individual but I don’t think the food pyramid is a really bad plan in general. It’s probably good for avoiding diabetes and heart disease. My guess is most people with problems are eating donuts and fat foods.
I need someone to go further and discuss Iron deficient anemia, I struggle with this. Actually, for my entire life and I cant seem to consistently manage it with diet or supplements.
Hi Jeni, I’m no expert but the only supplement that ever raised my iron levels was something called “Bob’s iron”. It’s from a compounding pharmacist. Now might be called “Ferapro”? Also, I read that….You can improve your body's absorption by eating foods containing vitamin C, vitamin A, along with meat, fish, and poultry during your meals. On the other hand, foods containing phytates (cereals and grains), calcium (milk and dairy), and polyphenols (tea and coffee) can hinder iron absorption. All the best!
the mantra "you are what you eat" comes to mind.... Eat clean..... Biochemistry is interesting but a less complex approach is to look for healthy food from healthy sources which does mean learning about how your food is produced. Reduce the amount of chemical input, if you dont like to idea of mass produced food ie animals in cages then you should avoid the supermarket. Make sure your drinking water supply is clean and find natural minerals.
I am leaning towards a lower intake of protein but it will be a challenge to get as low as eating somehow healthfully and to sustain you with 20g of protein only per day as an adult…. Without any concentrated protein from animal products you accumulate protein over the course of the day relatively easily - e.g.: 2 slices of rye bread, a small avocado & a big tomato for breakfast. Lunch: 100g/a cup of dry whole wheat pasta, topped with an onion, clove of garlic, 100g/a generous cup of raw raw mushrooms, 2 cups of spinach, sautéed in olive oil. Dinner: 600g/2.5 cups of a veggie soup (potatoes, carrots, leek, celery, onions, broth/no cream) provide 35g of protein already along with only 1100cal. So at least another healthy 500cal needed to be well „fueled“. And as soon as you add lentils, beans or broccoli or simply more bread for these remaining calories you will be at 40g of protein and more. (Unless you drink olive oil or sodas).
Is it really the protein or the glyphosate in the wheat and other grains causing increases in leaky gut, autoimmunity and food sensitivities? Factory farmed raised animals eat these grains. Not to mention, unless they eat grass for the majority of their lives, their fat is high in the pro-inflammatory Omega-6 fatty acids. When humans eat a hamburger from a fastfood restaurant, they are eating factory farmed raised meat, wheat full of glyphosate and seed oils, which are high in Omega 6 and rancid. I don't think the data will back up what is being said here.
After viewing some of the comments about being less conscious if eating animal protein are we saying that animals that eat animal protein are less conscious??? Also wondering if this means that we think it is more offensive to kill an animal than to kill a plant. The plant is a living thing too. Is the Lion 'less than' because she is a carnivore?
Hmm, I grew up in the 60s and my family (5 kids) on a very tight budget bought 1/2 cow, a pig and bought raw milk every week. We did have a summer garden but vegetables were from cans in the winter. I dont remember having chicken a lot though. So in South Dakota protein was mostly from meat and dairy. We used to move more back then and played in the sunshine.
In Australia in the 50s chickens were only eaten a couple of times a year. They were a luxury. They were never an every day food. I think it wasn't until the 70s when Kentucky Fried chicken hit Australia that chicken became a more regular food.
"There was this idea that protein at the top of that new food pyramid that was starting to be put together by the USDA and the like was with that meat and dairy at the top of the pyramid, suggesting that this is somehow the highest purpose of the entire food system was to get to this meat and dairy protein-density phenomenon." Although it is admittedly kind of difficult to understand exactly what he is trying to convey with that sentence, it sure sounds like he's insinuating that the food pyramid was arranged so that the "most important" foods were at the top, and the least important were at the bottom, as though the pinnacle of the pyramid represented the pinnacle of nutrition. I find it hard to trust that someone has put any research at all into nutrition if he gets that bit of common knowledge so very backwards.
What about for someone into bodybuilding, is it still true that we require significantly more protein to build muscle? And would it be less inflammatory to use mostly plant proteins rather than meat and cheese? Thank you!
You will need more protein to build muscle when bodybuilding, when compared to someone who does no training. Less protein is needed when you’re simply just living to maintain. Increase in protein is needed when you’re into sports. But still people who are active tend to over-consume protein. Of course overconsumption of fat, carbs, and nutrients isn’t good either, it’s not just protein. But protein is always promoted the most. A good ratio on your plate between carbs, fats, protein is the way to go.
Check the movie "Gamechanger" where sports, including bodybuilding, was shown to work just fine with a vegan diet. Even Arnold Shwartzneger became a vegan without losing anything.
I usually don't post if I disagree with a video. But I have to make an exception in this case. A number of things you say are factually incorrect. "Not enough variety of amino acids." There are only 20 amino acids in all protein sources, period. If you're getting the 9 essential amino acids, and a selection of the rest, it truly does not matter where you're getting them from. Numerous peer-reviewed studies have also shown that animal proteins are better absorbed and digested. Vegans looking through the perspective of confirmation bias will choose to ignore the overwhelming scientific evidence about protein uptake and heme2 sources of iron. Also, why do you begin your historical overview so late? For thousands of years, humans ate a primarily meat-based diet. Only after the agricultural revolution were more plants introduced into human diets - and this is relatively late in our evolution. Indeed, a primarily plant-based diet was a marker of class inferiority and/or partial starvation, and was associated across periods and cultures with poorer health. Post-agrarian societies combined eggs, fish, and small game in the absence of the larger game that had been the staple of hunter-gatherer societies. Don't get me wrong, I'm not advocating a paleo or carnivore diet; and I believe we need to stop farming animals under the current conditions. But to state that we should be vegan for optimal health is simply, categorically, historically and scientifically false. You have misrepresented the research here in order to shape your argument, without considering the body of evidence in an even-handed and objective manner.
Carnivore is a lot about healthy fats, not just protein, also about avoiding carbs which do often seem to mess with blood sugars which over time can result in metabolic issues etc Internittent fasting seems to be a crucial factor, not to get clogged up. I could never stop cravings for sugar & snacking until i tried carnivore recently, with plenty of good fats, & fiiiiinally I have overcome my years of sugar & carb addiction.. blessings to the animals, that aspect concerns me deeply, but plants feel pain too, & big agriculture cause a lot of eco damage .. the only real solution i can think of is for all humans to be Breatharian .. (which is possible, but most humans not ready for that)
He compares a SAD diet to a plant based diet, but not a carnivore/keto diet. Most carnivores and ketovores skip meals because they are full from the priir meal, so nothing backs up.
Thanks Zach and well done even though you knew the inevitable backlash . Excess protein is the scourge of the Western diet and I have spent my career educating people on this point always health improves and you can become lonely in the nutritional space full of Keto / Paleo or whatever the next trend will be. Big respect. Blue zones low protein, effective natural cancer therapies low protein , a healthy spirit from a healthy diet for you and the planet a plant based low protein one. Bless you Zack these facts will not change no matter what the latest pro protein sponsored food cartel clinical study says. The programming is a deep one honestly a very deep programming .
How do I get the satisfied feeling I get from protein when I’m eating plant based? I do plant based, but usually by the end of every week I just feel off (starting to feel light headed, depressed), until I eat protein usually red meat. Maybe that’s a proper balance. Two or three meat meals per week. I agree that protein is over consumed, in the way that it’s expected in every meal. But I feel especially when I’m active I need protein.
I’ve learned so much from this presentation and the one about emotional healing. Both these videos have added to my depth of understand of the human condition concerning diet and healing. These are extremely prevalent topics that will assist me and be taken to there height in assisting others. Many blessing friend.
For my self, only red meat twice a week thn hm made fish fitters and roosters on occasion off my land I do eat/drink a lot of eggs thought I don't eat alot of green only that off my property which consists of growing Greens and foraged nutritional weeds, I try not to need to buy these from the supermarkets because of all the pesticides that are sprayed on or around thm and tend to skip meals now and thn don't have big portions either. But my two weaknesses are coffee and chocolate that I wrk to keep to a minimum Figger all die of something, so try not to over think it just let my body tell want it wants . Thanks for this very interesting information, I do love learn about nutrition tho, so really appreciate this, and appreciate that you talk like we understand everything you're saying. absolutely loved this bit And prefer it, if I don't understand some it makes me look into it more eg further educating myself. ❤
Well what if the body doesn’t break down protein but instead it breaks down fat? Wouldn’t ketosis and intermittent fasting scare the body to conserve muscle mass and change physiology to instead burn fat to make up for the lack of glucose? I’ve heard that cursing fasting, the body releases human growth hormone to help preserve muscle mass this would stop the toxic muscle break down wouldn’t it?
I tried adding more cruciferous vegetables to my diet and it was disastrous. Besides the vile nauseating taste, they gave me unbearable gas and bloating. I no longer eat any veggies unless someone else cooks them for me and I eat them to be respectful. My mom is vegetarian and I bought her whey protein, an active b complex vitamin, and creatine. She felt much better and lost some pounds, despite already being a decent weight. My point is that veggies take like ass for a reason.
Unfortunately I have to disagree with some of things he’s saying here. After being diagnosed with Hashimotos (which spurred up after Covid), I started seeing a homeopath. We did a blood test and many plant and animal proteins I could not process and had to be removed from diet. My diet consisted of many fish, pork and chicken with spinach and asparagus with occasional oranges, pineapple and blackberries. I could eat raw pecans, and pistachios and peanuts. I don’t think there is a one size fits all diet and eating clean meat was essential. And I’m currently taking bovine adrenals which have helped with healing my own nervous system.
Homo Sapiens better translates as “Ones that know, and They know that they know”. This is not Wisdom, It’s just being aware that one is aware that they have awareness.
Interesting when I went carnivore my hashimotos disease was reduced by 50%....why is that. Meat is the least inflamitory out of all nutrients. Plants with all of there oxalate/lectins/deuterium / etc. Fiber tearing up the gut...Zach is a medical doctor...if you want to know what is going listen to Bart Kay a physiologist.
Assuming you were on a less restrictive diet before going carnivore, by eliminating certain foods by going carnivore, what ever food/foods were causing you trouble are now gone. It might not necessarily mean that it’s a higher meat diet that’s helped you, but could potentially be what you eliminated from your diet that’s helped with your disease - this could be another possibility? Either way, nice to hear your doing better 👍🏼
Hi Diyana, If your referring to cows, Most people have heard of the cow's four stomachs. In reality, cattle have one stomach divided into four compartments -
I love his views on nature, but his views on protein disagree with our biology, history and anthropology. Humans are designed to eat mostly fatty meat, not plants. As well as the science, just read the comments from carnivore forums, just how many of the posters are ex vegans who have regained their health by eliminating plants and focusing on fatty ruminant meat. Animal protein does not cause us harm, eating lean animal protein is the problem, we should be focusing more on the fat.
thats anecdotal, theres no science backing it up. our biology and history also don't back it up. people rarely ever ate mostly meat, and the time when they did, the lifespan was like 30. theres no data whatsoever that shows eating more meat is better for anything. This is also ignoring the fact that because so many people eat such large amounts of meat in the west, all the meat you can get is objectively horrible, full of chemicals and antibiotics and hormones.
@@nicmri you'll become deficient in a lot of vitamins unless you can afford and have access to high quality grass fed meat and organs, which almost nobody does. and even then you'll still be missing some vitamins, no antioxidants, no fiber, and carbs are still an essential nutrient and its stupid to cut it out of your diet. you know he had over 500 ldl cholesterol right? its not healthy.
@@nicmri Take your own advice. There's literally not a single accredited cardiologist or nutritionist on the planet, and not a single study done, that says carnivore is healthy. The arrogance you people have is astounding.
Lost me by 11 minutes in, I didn’t realise this wasn’t promoting protein. I’ve improved my kidneys eating the proper human diet of nutrient dense proteins.
Protein is in everything .....if your saying you get your protein mainly from animal sources ....you dont have to ....that is the truth and that is what this doctor is talking about.
@@lcr2382 please can you please answer me this, if red meat is so nutritious why is it that people who do low carb diets, carnivore diets end up with electrolyte imbalance, particularly potassium
@@donewittit6607 it's transitional. Magnesium imbalance is common too. carbs hold on to a lot of water, so without them the body has to learn to retain the minerals without carbs. took me about a year to transition fully.
The amount on nonsense, half truths, manipulations and pure lies in this video is mind blowing!!! I used to listen and believe this man, but the propaganda he is spreading now in unbelievable.
What incredibly stupid statements. A man of Zach's undeniable, proven integrity and track record is way above manipulation, lies, nonsense and propaganda.
7. AND Yeshua said unto them, Behold a new law I give unto you, which is not new but old. Even as Moses gave the Ten Commandments to Israel after the flesh, so also I give unto you the Twelve for the Kingdom of Israel after the Spirit. 8. For who are the Israel of God? Even they of every nation and tribe who work righteousness, love mercy and keep my commandments, these are the true Israel of God. And standing upon his feet, Yeshua spake, saying: 9. Hear O Israel, JOVA, thy God is One; many are My seers, and My prophets. In Me all live and move, and have subsistence. 14. Ye shall not take away the life of any creature for your pleasure, nor for your profit. nor yet torment it. 11. Ye shall not steal the goods of any, nor gather lands and riches to yourselves, beyond your need or use. 12. Ye shall not eat the flesh, nor drink the blood of any slaughtered creature, nor yet any thing which bringeth disorder to your health or senses. 13. Ye shall not make impure marriages, where love and health are not, nor yet corrupt yourselves, or any creature made pure by the Holy. 14. Ye shall not bear false witness against any, nor wilfully deceive any by a lie to hurt them. 15. Ye shall not do unto others, as ye would not that others should do unto you. 16. Ye shall worship One Eternal, the Father-Mother in Heaven, of Whom are all things, and reverence the holy Name. 17. Ye shall revere your fathers and your mothers on earth, whose care is for you, and all the Teachers of Righteousness. 18. Ye shall cherish and protect the weak, and those who are oppressed, and all creatures that suffer wrong. 19. Ye shall work with your hands the things that are good and seemly; so shalt ye eat the fruits of the earth, and live long in the land. 20. Ye shall purify yourselves daily and rest the Seventh Day from labour, keeping holy the Sabbaths and the Festival of your God. 21. Ye shall do unto others as ye would that others should do unto you. -Gospel Of The Nazarenes, Chapter 46
That is not what the Bible says. In the book of Leviticus God gives us a list of foods we are to eat and ruminant animals are on that list along with fish with scales and fins.
And then next says don’t raise questions of conscious about what to eat. Then Jesus feeds people fish, uses fatted calf slaughter for wedding feast references in his parables, and requested lamb with bitter herbs at the last supper. Then God gave Peter a vision of animals and said to kill and eat, and do not call unclean what I have made clean. Jesus also said it is not what goes into you that defiles you but what comes out of the heart that defiles you. Peace, God bless
I thought this guy was smart! He's talking about protein over consumption in the American culture!!!Our kids are riddled with fatty liver disease from CARB AND SUGAR over-consumption and lack of protein.
Perhaps humanity’s worst fault is trying to black and white/ oversimplify. When in reality what we have and should respect is a spectrum of grays. We’re all unique and shouldn’t expect others or ourselves to fit within the same boxes.
Aren't you doing the same damage you're talking about. Anybody w a wee bit of knowledge knows you would NOT eat a steak before a race n that protein digest slowly compared to carbs. As a retired hospice worker, some of the most malnourished individuals are those that did not eat enough protein in their diet, especially from animal meat. C'moooooon Maaaan!!
This is somewhat nonsensical in parts. Protein isn't quote "made from sugar", it's turned into usable energy via the citric acid cycle. There are people who need MORE protein than others, and disease-states like kwashiorkor (protein-calorie malnutrition) that come about as a result of not getting enough sulfur-based proteins (methionine and cysteine) in the diet. If they don't get those specific proteins, they DIE.
Notice that the study he referred to for a 14 hour digestion of protein was actually pizza and cheese!! By his own words. Where is the clinical study of a diet including beef and vegetables?
You clearly don’t understand the economy. Our poor health and incredibly high healthcare costs are not crippling the economy. They are a huge part of the economy. If we slashed our healthcare costs to nothing, and huge piece of our economy would vanish. That’s a fact
I am confused as to why you framed protein as a fuel source at all? You did say it isn’t a fuel source but then went on to talk about how it’s used as a fuel source when this is a very rare occurrence in the body when it’s essentially starving with no fat left to use as fuel. Protein is an essential building block but you never even talked about it.
I pose a question for the doctor. Do you really think the cause of all the modern malaise we see now is really because of something we’ve eaten since Millenia? Or maybe due to the practises of the processing of fake food like substances we are now eating en mass as a society? Common sense would suggest it’s something that we’ve only been doing in the last few decades that is at the real source of chronic modern disease.
Always enjoy some Dr. Bush. As someone who recently learned in nutrition school the value of protein rich animal meats, particularly organ meats, and how they can fit into a healthy diet and a healthy planet through regenerative farming, I am coming from the opposite side on this one. However, I believe it is always important to challenge your beliefs especially in the ever evolving, ever individualized space that is nutrition. Anything less is unscientific. I also recently heard Gabriel Lyons on Health Theory extolling the benefits of including MORE protein in the diet. I would love to see a civilized debate or someone critically analyzing these to diametrically opposed paradigms to find what interesting gems lie beneath. There is so much yet to be learned in nutrition, we are infants. However, the dogma wars are killing the open dialogue necessary for such progress to happen. We need more people willing to cross the isle, look skeptically at their own beliefs, and consider the data supporting other approaches. Bravo Zach, well done as always.
What do you mean. Protein has been an established essential since the very start of nutrition itself. Everyone has come across the line to tell you. Everyone has said it forever. It's like the oldest food knowledge since fire was discovered
YES IT'S NOT ABOUT BELIEFS NOR ABOUT FOOD PLEASURE, IT'S ABOUT PERSONAL HEALTH AS WELL AS WORLD HEALTH... MOTHER NATURE. WE ARE ALL CONNECTED, SO WHAT AFFECTS YOU AFFECTS ME TOO. 🌺☮️💟🌺 🌺✌🏾💚🌺☮️💟🌺
Health School? Yeah , disagree with Zach Bush . You are obviously green, ignorant to these subjects . Protein is Protein, AA ratios matter . So if we can get the optimism amounts of AA’s from a plant based diet , why kill shit ?
That was interesting. But I’ve been a vegan and a vegetarian for 2 years of my life and I was at my worst. It wasn’t until I found a guy named Dr. Eric Berg and d started following a healthy ketogenic diet and eat once or twice a day. And I’ve never felt better and it’s been 4 years now. I agree completely about overconsumption and how corrupt agriculture has become. And part of the reason I went Vegan in the first place was because of spirituality and love and concern for the earth. But I don’t think eliminating all animal products from your diet is the answer. And I get tired of the judgements around people who do eat meat or fish that somehow they’re lacking Concsiousness or spiritual awareness. It’s simply not true. I think different people require different things. And some people do well on vegan diets and others don’t. And part of having a healthy body is to stop eating constantly we’re not meant to eat every 3 hours of our life. It’s about paying attention to the needs of your body. If I started eating beans, lentils and grains and potatoes I’d blow up and I’d constantly be hungry. It’s a horrible way to live , I’ve been there and done it. There definitely needs to be a regenerative agriculture push and elimination of the standard American diet and a stop to corporate farming and processed foods. But I don’t think making the entire planet vegan is the way to go.
My takeaway from this was to reduce the amount of animal protein we eat. And to change our thinking of what it does for our bodies. I use animal protein as a "condiment" and feel much better.
Why not just reduce the amount of animal protein you eat? You don't have to be vegan. As he said, these diets (keto and vegan alike) are just fads. It takes a lot of knowledge to eat a healthy vegan diet and most people just don't have the awareness of nutrition to do it right. Americans have the most perturbed microbiomes in the world. The most likely reason you cannot eat 'healthy' foods is that your microbiome is depleted. Americans have literally lost the bacteria that digest plant fibers. There are ways to heal but it takes a lot of know-how. Keto is just a band-aid - it is like an antibiotic and that is why it makes many people feel better. But Dr. Berg won't tell you this. I PROMISE you, he is getting THICK kickbacks from the meat and dairy lobbies. I promise you he is only telling you part of the story.
As a weight trainer of 47-years who has lived the protein paradigm of old, I can confirm Dr. Bush is 100% correct. Too much protein is toxic, inflammatory, acidifying and dangerous to human biome, biology, anatomy, physiology, etc. I suffered the fallout from years of consuming too much protein. Carnivores must be made aware that it is not a consumption of dead, cooked, denatured animal flesh that has led them to better health but rather a recession of former dietary habits that led them to better health. People opt from one dietary habit to another then attribute an improvement in health to subsequent dietary habits when the fact is their health had already begun to improve as soon as they stopped consuming the foods that made them sick prior. The best option are living, raw, enzymatic, fiber-rich, nutrient-dense foods that nature provides us. Even the animals that carnivores consume eat these foods to keep them healthy, strong and nourished. If anything, omnivore is best. Stay balanced for optimal health.
I've been carnivore for a year. I never had serious health issues but I've started adding carbs back and I feel like trash. Back to carnivore. Feel like I'm a teenager again although ironically I was a vegetarian from either grade to college.
@@annacahill5394fiber is processed by a gut microbiome that becomes disrupted when we eat too little fiber over a long period. A year without fiber means you microbiome needs a slow and guided reintroduction of fiber to be able to process fully comfortably. Not advocating for veganism or any specific diet other than the addition of fiber and veggies
I've stayed with carnivore my Grey hair is gone and my "food pouch" as my toddler called it is gone. I finally quit coffee and I feel absolutely amazing. I can't imagine going back to veggies and carbs. I have however increased my fat tons. My goal is 3 grams fat to 1 gram protein but I'm currently probably getting 1 to 1. My mind is sooo sharp. I have just increased my income by 40%.
I have leaky Gut and have severe autoimmune reactions anytime I eat carbs or fiber. I've tried countless diets from low fodmaps to scd diet and the only thing that doesn't cause me issues is when I eat only meat and eggs.
That's the sign of a seriously damaged gut. Try to restore it by really slowly introducing back the veggies. In baby steps, if needed. As soon as your gut starts to heal and the necessary bacteria starts to develop in it, thanks to those small portions of veggies, you are good to go with bigger and bigger portions until finally you are "normal". It's a path well worth taking.
Slowly switching to a organic plant based diet not vegetarian or not vegan but plant-based with wild caught salmon 3 times a week pasture-raised eggs a few times a week and pasture-raised meats a few times a week. I feel better with this diet.
I’ve always loved Zack Bush. Still do. However I must weigh in here. I was vegetarian for decades. I ended up with lots of problems from oxalate and Phytates etc. Could barely move my fingers elbows an shoulders my search led Me to carnivore diet. In only 4 months. All joint pain gone and fingers not sticking bent over! Also. My receding gums grew back and healed. Also no longer need reading glasses (at 68 yrs old). Brown spots on hands faded away. I have more energy and My weight has normalized. I was very careful about My food choices as a veg person. Didn’t over eat starches etc. It took a Lot to change to meat eater. But I feel the best I have in 50 years! What gives here. I’m also a very spiritual person and that remained even though I changed my diet to Carnivore
I had a similar experience. My body is so much happier when I started eating good quality grass fed meat a few times per week. If I skip red meat for more than a couple of days, I get sluggish and depressed. I really noticed an energy shift when I added a third of an ounce of raw organic grass fed beef liver to my smoothie. For me, I suspect it has more to do with the retinol and fats, than the protein.
If it works for you, then do what you need to do. Just realize that it could be particular species of bacteria in your digestive tract that cause negative reactions due to the chemical composition, fiber, sugars in plants that these bad bacteria feed upon. When you don't eliminate them, then plant matter will proliferate the bad bacteria that feeds on it, whereas eating meat won't provide an ample food source for those bacteria. The fact is, dead, cooked meat is also denatured via the cooking process. That's why no one's ever seen lions cooking on a grill. Humans are not like lions, tigers or other carnivores but rather nearly identical to primates - gorillas, chimps, apes, etc who are primarily plant eaters. If there is a negative reaction to plants, then it's not a plant issue but rather a biological, anatomical, physiological, biome issue inside of the individual. Oxalates are a mechanism for keeping insects off of plants but there aren't enough to compromise healthy people. Those with compromised immunity, gut flora, etc will be more susceptible to negative side-effects. Long-term carnivore results n acidosis when the body must leach minerals to maintain base alkalinity/homeostasis of 7.36-.7.40. Food is supposed to be the alkalizer not the body but for survival purposes. Also remember that no meat, fish, chicken, etc has fiber to engage peristalsis. Only plants contain fiber for this essential process. Again, if the diet helps, then by all means do what you must. Just beware of long-term effects and adjust to at least some fruits, melons, berries, etc to reduce acidosis. Glad you're well and take care. 😊
I was wondering when someone would start vilifying protein. It was done with fat then carbs guess now it's good ole protein's turn. I'm waiting for the next brave doctor to bust all the myths about water and why it's actually harmful to us and why we must spend money on their alternative.
I've been an athlete all my life and tried all different diets.. i tried being a veggie as well with my wife, but i tried bringing back meat again and I've never felt better. Stabile. Energy is good and stable. I eat meat, fruits, kefir,honey,eggs and little cheese. Sometimes i can carb up before long run or heavy metcons with white rice. This just feels good. After over 20years of training u start to intuitive what is good and not.
As an 87 year old woman (5' 3" tall) I have wondered how much protein I need. Inspired by this lecture, I will cut my servings from 4 ounces to 2 ounces. I hope that works out well because it would save money on groceries.
I have been on a carnivore diet for 6 months now. I feel so much better than I did on a vegetarian diet for many years. Also, all my lab markers are far better than they were in my vegetarian years. The bioavailability of nutrients are far superior in meat than they are in plant-based protein. I never knew I could feel so healthy and satiated by the food that I eat. My body does not do well with the carbs and sugars on a plant-based diet. I used to struggle with food (particularly carb) addiction patterns that I tried to control for decades. Now on a carnivore diet I have such freedom from food addiction. This diet is amazingly satiating and fulfilling. It is certainly not just amino acids that you get from meat. There are so many other essential nutrients that are very difficult if not completely unavailable from plant-based proteins. It is my experience that my digestive system is much happier on my meat diet than it was on the plant diet. I have contact with many people with serious digestive problems eating mostly plants - leaky gut, in my experience, is much more likely to be a plant-based problem. You may like the word "putrefaction" however I will use the word, "fermentation" which I believe our particular human digestive system is beautifully designed to use (along with the level of stomach acid) to smoothly digest a predominately meat-based diet. Very interesting that you relate our increase in food sensitivities and auto immune diseases to eating meat. Everyone that I know that has switched from a plant-based diet to a carnivore diet has literally eliminated all their food sensitivities and auto immune problems. I experience that much of what you say is exactly opposite. For instance, talking about using a traditional diet, would have to lead you directly back to our hunter-gather origins. They predominately used meat. There is absolutely no credible science that proves that eating meat causes cancer or kidney disease. I think you do your audience a great disservice by making these sweeping claims with out credible science to back them up. Are you saying that we should follow our current governments dietary recommendations for protein?! You, being the one who is clear about how we have been misled about cholesterol, statins, and coronary artery disease, which by the way, I agree with you entirely on this subject. All that agricultural technology you speak of as producing corn for feed-lot animals is much harder on the life of our soil and the ecosystem of our planet when growing plants and grains in the monoculture system to provide for a plant-based diet rather than the beautiful biodiversity and healthy soil that is produced from regenerative grazing of ruminant animals "Grass Loves to be Grazed"!! I feel exactly as you said that we are a miracle of creation, being totally designed to be consumers of meat. We can choose to align with nature and regenerate our earth by doing away with the destructive monocultural agricultural practices and learn to love our bodies by giving them them the type of nutrition they are desperately asking for.
Thank you! You pretty much summed up everything I felt as I listened to this. I have followed Zack a while. Heck, I even subscribed to his product just to see, even though it made no sense to me. But this podcast just makes me sad.
Thank you for your response. It is important that we flood responses to Zack showing him that there are others out here who enjoy Zack's perspective on so many things, and felt disappointed that he gave such a biased and unscientific perspective on a meat-based diet. Hope you will let him know your own perspective. Clearly he is a master at showing that you can use manipulation of any theory with profound intelligent speech to prove your personal bias. Respect to you.@@ketankshukla
Some non-essential amino acid precursors are indeed produced using intermediary compounds formed in the citric acid cycle. But no essential amino acids are formed there; that's why they're called "essential" and why humans must consume adequate amounts of external protein regularly. The statement that the citric acid cycle produces the proteins the body needs "from sugar" is extremely simplistic and ridiculous, with no basis in science. It is true that many Americans overconsume protein, but the recommendations presented here would create the opposite problem: starvation-level protein deficiencies. Best course: Don't take advice from zealots. Moderation is key.
you got that right john...I find that folks with phd's in physiology have a better understanding of the intricacy of what's going on than the Medical doctors who studied pill pushing. Apeal to authority.
So what we eat and absorb is altered, broken down, synthesized, assembled, and discarded but human and non human cells. The proteins in our body are synthesized and assembled from more basic more simple ingredients rather than directly from food. This would not happen if the citric acid cycle stopped. Animal based food can be eliminated with regard go making protein. Dietary diversity is necessary and normative diets are studied in many different places. Many people are extremely and or chronically and acutely our of balance and healthful population normative balance would help many. It isnt exclusive from suiting it in some basic simple ways to the individual. So what was your point? What are you pushing?
Protein is not the only nutrition in animal products either. DHA is essential for the brain and cell membranes and the body uses inferior fatty acids that dont conduct electrically/energetically when deficient. Its an enormous problem when studied in the research and leaving this out of this presentation that seems to be going for 'synthesis' is just inadequate in my opinion. Vascular disease is responsible for more deaths than everything else, including Kidney diseases by a vast margin. Im confused by this incomplete argument..
@@l.sophia2803 That something is used by the body doesn't mean a pure supplement will be safe effective or needed. It's still not a slam dunk that people should take Omega 3 SUPPLEMENTS nor is the amount route and frequency for each age group certain enough. And in men at risk of prostate cancer some may want to avoid THOSE supplements. Simply, controversy exists. Using and abusing the food chain for this type of supplement doesn't seem warranted or fair. Algal based ones that are tested for purity and active ingredient properly and routinely by valid labs is necessary but very unlikely that info can be had or had accurately with far too many products in this largely under regulated market. Quality control? Get what you paid for? Solid science? Risk, cost and time analysis ? Is one's diet and activity optimized for the individual? Interaction with other chemicals meds vits etc? Disease supplement contraindications? And really what statistical and clinical difference would a supplement make in that individual at the dosage started at that time and for that duration? Chances are, as we see with too many prescriptions the actual benefit risk analysis is quite underwhelming on benefits and overwhelming on down sides including cost benefit to people and life on Earth. Much of what is made and what leaves the body when it comes to what people's take in their body remains biologically active. Billions of people's waste impacts health to nature including other people. Rain water soil air is or becomes too polluted and often without good enough reasons. Corporations business and people externalize and ignore their unwanted unsafe unpleasant impacts on nature. The more you know the worse it gets in these regards.
@@Madasin_Paine I absolutely agree and find your thinking is holistic and that’s essential to undoing all this damage the environment and it’s creatures are suffering. I mentioned supplements not because I’m advocating but more as a part of the arguments vegans make now.. that while B12 and DHA can be supplemented and don’t need to be eaten in animal products anymore, it’s obvious that if these are essential to human health, which they obviously are, and animal products are the only place to find them in adequate amounts, that it can not possibly follow that we are naturally vegans! So why the oversimplification from someone as intelligent and well meaning as Dr Bush? I find this a challenge in challenging times, when a thought leader isn’t thinking clearly or simply fails to state the challenges they should recognize to their own arguments as if the agenda is the most important thing. People will hear this talk and without deeper learning will hear him say that ‘sugar’ is the best answer. It’s disappointing to say the least..
Last year I have tried veganism. But after a few months I really missed the animal fats and proteins. I can not eat to much fiber, no legumes, no grains, no fermented veg. It gives me diarrhea. I need full fat dairy and fatty meat. I think it is different for everybody depending on our origins. I originate from Finland. In Finland people had no vegetables and fruit. They had mostly fish, meat and dairy.
Have you herd of the micro biome in your gut? The biome needs time to change when changing foods. So your bloating and flatulence was due to only having a micro minor that is used to heavy fats (Animal Proteins) and little fiber. To help the digestive system it should be done in steps not all at once. All plants have protein, to build muscle it’s the amino acids that are needed. There is a lot of literature around this topic. Be sure to look for those not funded by the industry that has something to gain or loose depending on the outcome. Hope this helps give insight into why you had your experience. Much Aloha 🙏🌺😎
@@giselafiege7169 Hi! Before going vegan I was not eating lots of fat and protein. I was whole food flexitarian omnivore. Then I tried vegan for about 7 months: I could not get stronger in sports, was always tired, had always fatty diarrhea, bloating, gas. Like when I was omnivore (I already had diarrhea and gas since I was 9 months old, but back then we didn't know about gluten and all the anti-nutrients in plants). I started to crave meat and dairy after a few months of veganism. Now on keto I am getting really strong muscles and have good energy and good stools. I discovered that my gut and microbiome do not like unsoluble fiber, gluten, lectins, oxalates and fructose. I do get fiber, from sweat potato, avocado, zuchini (pealed and deseeded), macadamia nuts. My gut and microbiome prefer soluble fiber. Eating meat is natural, we are hunters, not herbivores. Meat and dairy have all the protein we need. Plants do not. When eating vegan you have to combine different plants to get all the essential amino acids. And omega 3 from plants, ALA, has to be converted in the body to DHA and EPA. It's a difficult not very succesful process. Omega 3 from animal food, DHA and EPA, is available for the body right away.
@@alisonlevity Hi! I watched The Game Changers two years ago and went vegan. I gained 6 kilos, got fatigued all the time, got weak muscles, my fibromyalgia got worse. Now on keto with lots of animal fat and protein and some veg (but not much) I am getting stronger and stronger and the fibromyalgia is gone! I will never go back to veganism.
strange when I went animal based my years of bloating and inflammation went away as well as neurological problems dissappeared, for now I'm sticking to animal fat and protein because I feel so healthy now, no more leaky gut etc
Can somone share a source for the concept of making essential amino acids from glucose from the diet?. Sadly no souces or references provided here by the author.
With a wrecked digestive system and leaky gut, an intolerance to gluten and dairy, I switched to a plant based diet. And every time I ate I would get bloated, constipated, way too much mucus production and joints painfully inflamed. And a part of my decision to go plant based was the spiritual belief that it was a higher consciousness to not eat animals. And my health continued to go downhill. I switched to Keto and intermittent fasting and have never felt better. Inflammation gone, bloating gone. I don't eat a huge amount of meat and stick to organic beef and oily fish. Occasionally I will eat something processed or grains or potatoes then regret that decision for the next couple of days when the sugars kick in. I get where you are coming from and I wish the food chain was better, but it's not the meat that's the issue, it's the health of the food chain overall.
@@murraypooley9199 Every person needs to find what works best for them. I don't agree with poor treatment of animals but a lot of vegan processed food is really not healthy at all. Best of luck with your sport 😊👍
@@NothingByHalves Thankyou. I agree everyone is different, there is no one rule for everyone. But if I were to generalise I would have to go high on healthy fats, zero on glycemic carbs and moderate on protien. This will differ to the individual metabulism, excerciseand other factors of course. The human body does not require added glucose, it makes what it requires. There are many very clever doctors and scientists who agree with my life style and CrossFit recomend it. They would seem to have no agenda while the high sugar argument has big foodie and climate change advacates pushing billions of dollars into promoting to ban meat and go for GM soy based 3d printed plastic meat. Of course processed seed oils are as toxic as sugar. Together they = poison. If this becomes general, get ready for billioneers becoming trillioneers and the worlds population getting much sicker.
@@murraypooley9199 yes, the balance you describe works for me. Although I am possibly a bit higher on protein at the moment. I know that Zach Bush believes in vegan permaculture rather than processed food, and I would love to see us return to that in the future. Very interesting that the farmers were told back in the 1950s that organic permacultures and crop rotation wouldn't grow enough food...and they would need fertiliser...made by Monsanto...who were big funders of the farming industry... (follow the money, every time 🤭) And now that the soil is destroyed they want to reverse all the changes they made, whilst getting rid of the cows and feeding us bugs when the food supplies run out. Right. Really. I fell for the seed oils for a while too. Practically had to change everything I thought was healthy and am feeling better as a result 😊 Lots of great nutritionists out there and many functional fitness instructors really know their stuff too - glad you've found something that worked 🤗
Can you please clarify the biochemical mechanism whereby protein is made from glucose. I'm aware of gluconeogenesis, whereby glucose can be made from protein, but I wasn't aware that protein or nitrogen can be made from glucose. How can nutrigen created from carbon?
Yes the mechanism exists in a herbivore ..say a cow who has this ability based on an evolutionary symbiotic relationship with gut microbes that can manufacture all the necessary amino acids.......hence proteins........Humans ...no can do
Review this talk again including the part on the citric acid cycle and amino acid production. Remember, only 8 essential amino acids but many more nonessential ones the body makes. From these few the body makes hundreds of thousands of structural proteins and enzymes.
@@Madasin_Paine I understand how the body makes non-essential amino from essential amino acids. but the body does not make amino acids from glucose. the screen shot he showed in the video shows how glucose is used in the citric acid cycle, not how amino acids are made from glucose. if his biochem is fundamentally flawed, I'm pretty sceptical that he has absolutely no idea what he's talking about when he starts talking about gain of function.
@@jamesgnydjenko7758 I’m still not sure a cow can convert glucose to amino acids but their guts are able to process a lot of grass to make protein. Most humans don’t eat a lot of grass, twigs and leaves before they reach for the doughnuts or refined vegetable oils that are now ubiquitous in our food supply.
Appreciate a great deal of Zack Bush’s work, but I really feel he is behind the times on this topic. I wish he would come to open debate with other leaders of wellness and health on this topic. His perspective on the gut Microbiome is very advanced and is understanding about the negative impacts of chemical agriculture. But he doesn’t seem to be applying that understanding to the sources of proteins that these people are consuming in their detrimental effects. Either way I will be staying tuned to see how all of these great minds resolve their differences :-) I only pray that we come to talk respectfully and with genuine curiosity and humility so that we may find the truth 🙌🙏
100 percent. I think he’s incredibly smart and well meaning. A true humanitarian for sure. But plant fiber makes me so sick much of the time. I try to eat the lower fiber veg because that’s all my body seems to tolerate, lettuce, peas, carrots. Oddly I do digest avocados well. Maybe because it’s fiber and fat combined.?
Great insight! Between you, Wim Hof and Michael Levin I'm getting stoked by what we can achieve! Thanks for the push towards a more colon and planet friendly diet!
You going carnivore too? Welcome! I love grass fed lamb (good protein to fat ratio) and grass fed ribeyes. I’m having a hard find finding fresh liver though, frozen isn’t the same 😢 pasture raised eggs with salt and ghee 😊
I have been vegan for 35 years and healthily and happily so. There is always so much out there about different diets, and I make sure I listen to all kinds of stuff - carnivore, paleo, vegan, etc. It was never my intention to be dogmatically vegan, I just wanted to be healthy. However, I support everyone's right to eat for their own bodies, what works for them, because we are all different. The amount of talk around protein I've heard lately on podcasts is almost entirely around how unhealthy it is to be vegan, that we are not getting enough protein, etc. It has definitely made me question my choices, but my body does not want animal protein, and I check in regularly! This video helps explain why I feel good and healthy and strong on my vegan diet. I eat a lot of nuts, seeds, beans and veggies, and I will keep listening to people I respect, even those who think vegan is the wrong diet. Vegan is not wrong for me personally, but I'm going to keep my mind open to knowledge and information, especially from my own body. Since Zach Bush is one of the doctors and humans I trust most these days, I am grateful for his take on all of this. Thank you!
@Susan D, love the kindness and level headedness of your approach. Very refreshing to see at time when most of those who happen not to agree with our views and philosophy are quickly chastised and written off. Thanks for being civil about an often controversial issue.
@@johncarr6496 I appreciate you writing this to me! You are right, there is so much adversity going on all around us, when we could at least try to listen to each other. Sharing knowledge is a good thing, it should not be a competition. We will all make better decisions when we can talk to each other, listen, learn and evaluate. Fighting just makes us dumb and isolated.
@@SusanDMusic So right Susan, I've gone thru a plethora of diets and as a very active woman in my mid 70's, I find eating meat gives me much more energy, however we all have different constitutions and I believe it best to find out what our own personal dosha (our constitution in the ancient 5000 yr old Ayurvedic Practice). Life is a beautiful thing and finding what works for our own bodies and not just going along with someone else's opinion is or moral judgement's because in the end, it's all just "their opinion" at the moment. Have a blessed day.
I’m interested to hear Zacks take on this he’s the only vegan doctor I have come upon that actually looks healthy so many of the others claim it is so health full yet look absolutely starved.
There are many vegan doctors that are healthy. I am not a doctor but I am vegan and have been for over 10 years. I have more energy than people in their teens and I am 56. I can do anything they can and more. Whole foods plant-based is the diet for our species.
healthy doesn't have a look, conditioning of what healthy looks like does.
There is a right way and a not so good way of a Plant Based lifestyle. Vegan doesn’t = healthy automatically!
I think all the diet promoters look terrible, I think it's from running around arguing and talking too much. What you eat isn't the only thing that influences health
What makes you think he's vegan? He's not.
This video was incredibly eye-opening and made a lot of sense.
I recently switched from a high-carb diet to a ketogenic diet, and I have noticed tremendous benefits with inflammation, energy levels, and holistic mental, physical, emotional, and even spiritual performance.
I'm always searching to experiment and learn new things to push past any plateaus, so this has been a great video to bring more knowledge and awareness.
I recognize that human beings are incredibly resilient and designed for anti-fragility and syntropic when the seasons of life are honored. Protean consumption is far too great in mainstream diets. It's also the combination as well as the ratios of these macronutrients that can cause problems in the microbiome.
I've moved away from overeating meat proteins, and my diet has been slowly evolving, trying different things. Cheese or dairy hasn't worked for me as I'm lactose intolerant, but I recently discovered heavy cream, which has zero protein and zero grams of carbs. I've found it to be an excellent source of fat(going raw, organic, non-GMO); combining it with cod liver and cod liver oil, an incredible array of vegetables(vast amounts of mushrooms and seaweed are my favorite), and eggs are a superfood in its own right, has a quick digestive transit time too).
I noticed the recommendations for nuts, seeds, and grains. My research has found that they all contain phytic acid and have high levels of oxalates, which can disrupt the bioavailability of minerals, electrolytes, and nutrients. I've also noticed that when I eat those items mentioned above, I get tired, and I also have seen a dip in my performance(I barefoot run, train martial arts, and train with HIIT protocols).
When I attempted Keto several years ago, I fell into the marketing trap with "Keto friendly" snacks and recipes that relied on all kinds of processed junk and artificial sweeteners + consumed WAY too much meat proteins.
This time, I honored the ratios of fats to proteins to carbs and feel incredible. I also spend several hours a day training outdoors, barefoot, on the shore, where I'm getting optimized grounding and solar energy, which helps signal positive epigenetic upregulation.
I foresee more experimentation with a plant-based approach to nutrition. Still, I've also come to recognize that dogmatic "diets" subconsciously may be limiting the true potential of our human genome's ability to adapt to our environment and survive and thrive off of many different paths of managing energy levels and performance.
I'm curious and open to any discussion on this topic.
Is phytic acid and oxalates not an issue with grains, nuts/seeds?
Thank you for this incredible video!
I first discovered Dr. Zach Bush from his video on Afterskool on chemical farming and its effects on autism.
I highly recommend books from Dr. Tomas Cowan on the subject of vaccines, autoimmunity, water, and cancer. Great stuff.
Just a snap : lactose intolerant . It is an disease . A disease . Talking to much too .Me , reading (short) comments for fun . Biochemical and physiological illiterates blabbering
Well said...!!! I prefer ketogenic diet of Dr. Gundry - which different from the keto diet that is prevailing. The ratio of quality protein should be around that contained in mother's milk - that is around 5-6%.
@@felicisimomalinao1981 Yes I agree, many are overdoing low quality proteins.
Love Dr Cowan and Weston Price
Humans require animal proteins for optimal health. It’s also better for the environment.
I usually love what Zach Bush teaches and his heart is so pure. But there is some deep education New studies and personal testimonies on meat consumption and fat/proteins that has healed people from so many illnesses and mental disorders.
Not for everyone. Truth is good healthy meat is not available for people on a budget; these same people are consuming bad meat as much as or vegetarians are consuming bad carbs
Yes. But is it for everyone? I got terrible inflamation eating meat. It doesn't work for me. Do what works for you not for everybody else.
Truly listening to what he is saying will lead you to the truth.. Listening is key
@@jayajora I don’t think you need a high quantity of meat, but some may be needed. I have a hard time eating a high enough cooking of food without meat to keep me fueled. Esp for my needs in being active,
@@KAT-dg6el don’t eat junk food. Bad meat is factory farmed as opposed to ethically raised. I am vegetarian.
lol I remember as a kid growing up in the 60s in Holland, we had meat but not lots of it. Had a piece of chicken on a Sunday, had horse steak on a saturday and meatballs/ beef weekdays as that was cheap. Having a paper cone with chips from the local chippie was a treat. Candy hardly existed there was a very limited choice. Same with crisps. We were active all day long, we didn't have mobiles or laptops or internet. You met people and you communicated in person or over the telephone. Life was a lot simpler for sure. I pity these generations now growing up with all the crap around us. And no one bothered about proteines or vitamines. Yet we were all healthy and slim and the veg had nutrients in them. Even the bread had nutrients compared to today :)
What kind of health are you in today? TY.
Beautifully Articulated, that should be on the ciriculum of every school, world wide, WOW what a knowledge base you have, thank you ZB.
I think the same.
Actually wrote the same first two words in my own comment 😅
Here here. 👏🏽 What a guy.
as always the man flips my beliefs about food upside down...that aside, the man is giving me hope....and the will to change. thank you again, dr z.
Thank you so much! I went back to eating a lot of animal products, tho to be fair too much gluten. My body isn’t happy.
I am going to commit to a month of vegan to see what shifts in my body. I have been meat free most of my life and at times fish free and occasionally vegan. I know my heart prefers also a vegan lifestyle.
I am tired of the push for keto and paleo. Skinny doesn’t necessarily mean healthy.
This is not how our ancestors ate, and a totally unnatural way of eating for people in eastern Europe for example, who have very few plants growing from Sep-April. Scandinavians shipping in fruits and plants from Southern hemisphere is NOT natural is it?! Particularly when they have animals, milk, cheese, cream eggs etc etc.
@@FINDINGFITNESS101 Hunter gatherers in parts of the world that experience winter were never eating just meat to get through it. From April to October they would be drying things like nuts, seeds, stalks, leaves, roots, and berries, as well as meat, in order to preserve for winter. It doesn't matter that no plants grow in the winter because hunter gatherers practice food preservation.
What are talking about animal products do not have that much gluten. Grains have gluten the most, and certain vegetables such as legumes have lechtins that have similar effect of glutens. You cant run away from toxic shit. You gotta balance it out. Also keto is great for losing weight but weight lost is too much for a long time use it. Although low carb is important for keeping insulin tolerance in check which causes every single chronic disease in the body including diabetes, atherosclerosis, kidney failure, fatty liver etc. In low-carb diet you dont need to go keto just lower your carb intake below or about 100 grams or more if you exercise a lot.
I believe it what he says I lived in Eastern Europe during the communism and we only eat meat on Sundays and there was no disease, no cancer no depression no obesity and we eat lots of carbs and fruits and veggies so I know from my own experience, that’s the healthiest diet
There also wasn't dozens of grocery isles filled to the brim with processed sugary foods filled with soy lecithin, gmo corn, emulgators and more. Good luck actually finding clean ground beef in eastern Europe that does have a whole bunch of flour, soy, and preservatives inside. That's why disease is up, not because neat was restricted to Sunday back in the day.
Most people in my eastern European country can't afford to buy meat to eat every day or in every meal. But there's an epidemic of the fastest growing death rates. People are dropping down in their 40s and 50s.
Yes the food was different than, do you remember the wheat fields? Talk, now they are geo modified, grow 30 inches with larger yield. You lived probably In the city and it was communism with meat only once per week because they would "give us" vouches. Most people supplemented meat from farmers. Lots of meat through that way.
3 biggest lies we are told: 1) Eat more protein. 2) Milk is the best source of calcium. 3) Man can make food, water, and supplements better than mother nature
Dr McDougall in his 70’s now has been fighting for the same things, all you good doctors should get together and start a school for all ages! Dr John Bergman is a chiropractor but so much more too! I injured myself in my 30’s went through so many of the wrong doctors, now 31 years later I’m trying to take control of my life by connecting and watching UA-cam but the powers that be don’t want us to know the truth and the wrong ways are so ingrained in people they are afraid to try something new! The reason Ive totally changed my diet, pots and pans, personal product and cleaning products is because I want to live!!! Health is a way of life sickness isn’t! Thank you for helping us, there are those eager to learn, education is everything and it never stops…
Come on Zach, cows and horses have a totally different digestive systems designed to eat grass and extract the nutrients from it. They have several stomachs or something along those lines. But from their teeth and mouth and to their colons they are DESIGNED to eat grass.
Humans are designed to be omnivores it’s clear.
Dogs and cats do best on mostly meat, animal fats and bone. Dogs can swallow whole chunks of bone and meat and their digestive systems love that. Wolves often eat the stomachs and intestines of their pray with its predigested plant material and micro biome.
So to compare humans to cows or horses with muscle mass as if humans could attain that from eating grass is ludicrous.
Ya and glucose is necessary….this is antiquated. ua-cam.com/video/kYVoYwU1-kk/v-deo.htmlsi=pJMQsgJ4diSDntq7
What slows digestion is fat, not protein. Food does not "rot" in our digestive system. We have a microbiota that takes care of any food we take in. What damages our gut are all the endogenous toxic substances we nowadays ingest that chemical companies have created over the last 100 years!!!
i have been on a journey to what I call "alignment through adaptation". It's like driving a bumper car and getting hit from every side. Dr. Bush is coming from a pure heart, as I feel his commitment and passion towards his own journey. I am a 53 year old male, 6' 2", 201 lbs and I have digestive issues since I was a kid, that I take 100% responsibility for. (too much sugar and junk food, too much reckless Abandon as I call it... = BAD ENVIRONMENT ). Now I am on a healing journey. WOW! Keto really helped me get fit and lose my gut. Intermittent fasting reset my cravings and I consistently stay around 200 lbs with lean muscle. I am the strongest I have been in my life (former Rugby Forward). My physical Body is fit, more defined and lean. My cognitive awareness is clear and creative. I feel more in touch with the earth, with my sons, with Life. I have been all over the map with nutrition. Plant based however, DOES make me bloat and the Stomach pains (I call it the Rodeo) leading up to a bowel movement is quite awful. I raise my own beef now and Since I I.F and eat only one large meal per day, I find the stomach cramps are gone, the bowel movements are painless and the "urge to go" more frequent. I am NOT healed by any means but I am actively searching and trying different methods. I look to Dr. Bush for help and I resonate with his wisdom and delivery methods especially on Epigenetics. I am aware enough to know that I WANT to find supporting arguments for eating MEAT, but I also am aware enough to know that my Environment is determined by ME, therefor my HEALTH is determined by me. I can ADAPT.
SInce everyone has DIFFERENT environments, I do believe that EVERYONE is at a different level of ADAPTATION. Some of us need more meat, some of us less. I don't like the arguments for ALL OR NOTHING. Also, we've been lied to, coercerced, manipulated and out right k.illed off by Government guidelines. I do not like when Dr. Bush or ANYONE says "WE" NEED TO CHANGE, or "WE" are RUINING the PLANET etc"... WHO is "WE?" We only eat, use, consume, play with, what the GOVERNMENT gives us, based on their guidelines, their support for industries etc. "WE" are NOT the Problem. "Life wants to LIVE". we only Eat what we can get. Just like a Bear in the wild, stumbling on a bag full of house hold garbage, we ADAPT to what is available. WE have been LED to our OWN demise by a controlling group. Yes it IS that SINISTER. Anyways, Commune is doing Great Work as I like to hear all sides.
So most don’t realize that switching to higher fiber after eating mostly high fats(animal protein), your micro biome needs time to adjust to be able to digest higher fiber. It is the biggest reason most have bloat and flatulence going Plant Based. Something to consider.
Everything in moderation is key. My dad lived to be 92. Of course genes, walking twice a day, exercising & Mediterranean diet helped too.
Having studied vegetarianism back in the late 60s I've been aware of the general misunderstanding of protein that has persisted. Back then the daily requirement for protein was in the 20s for both male and female and years later it was changed to a higher number thanks to the meat industry's influence on the federal governments. When I first became a vegetarian I spent time every day figuring out what my nutritional intake was and I was actually getting too much protein, which made me gain weight, so had to cut back. Much of my information came from Frances Moore Lappe' in her books "Diet for a Small Planet" based on a lot of research. And thank you Dr. Bush for offering your knowledge which is so needed in today's overabundance of altered and toxic foods.
I got fat and sick when I was a vegetarian.
Still mopping up my issues and back to eating meat. Pasture raised or wild, if possible.
Feeling so much better.
And no gassiness!😊
Salt is necessary. Potassium, sodium and magnesium are soluble and helping your body manipulate the water intake for health.
Whole Food Plant based. 65 and thriving.
Meat eater. 62 and thriving. What does it prove?
@@resist2030 It proves that the myth of the"weak" vegan is just a myth. It also proves that I consider other sentient beings in my choices.
@@traceybaucom5755 The way I see it, it only proves that it works for you. And I'm happy for you, honestly. But it doesn't mean that the whole world should turn vegan.
@@resist2030 I think both of you probably cut out sugar, processed foods and toxic seed oils, which is why you both feel great. I'm vegetarian (62 and no health issues) but I've come to accept that a meat-based diet, or a plant-based diet does not suit everyone. We need to find what works for us. I need to add that for me, the horrendous cruelty of factory farming and the modern dairy industry is the biggest reason I stopped eating animals 37 years ago. Not the only reason, but the biggest.
@@resist2030 HA! Good point 🤣
Is it possible that you are all correct? And clean, animal protein works well short term for some people while a clean plant based, moderate or low protein diet is potentially a better long term option for optimal health in others? Most of those centenarians don’t eat much meat if any…so, that’s something to think about. Thanks Zach, love your passion for living well!
Except no culture ever anywhere in the world for millennial has successfully subsisted on only plant’s based eating. Proper human diet has always been animal and/or seafood with plants on occasion. The Western world has purposely caused all of our diseases especially mental illnesses with diets that keep out red meat
@@suzieqgm643 everything you just said was unfounded, good job! Also, that last sentence has a bit of a paranoid slant, are you sure it isn’t red meat that causes mental illness;) You likely ate too many grains, if you were a vegetarian (a more probable cause for illness, in general). I have an idea, maybe vegetarianism is not right for you🫢 please consider the likelihood of this so we can move on. This argument is outdated, we have genetic information now showing what our preferences and variations are, it’s silly to think we all have the same dietary needs. I mean, if you don’t feel well not eating meat, for heaven’s sake, eat clean meat! How long have we not been listening to our bodies? Do you really need the people in this thread to validate what you put in your body or is your purpose here to invalidate other people’s experiences? Dr. Bush is sharing his educated opinion on this topic and many people appreciate this, even carnivores. If it’s not right for you, good. That means you’re paying attention to your own body. Their are plenty of channels that support your view. Don’t play the victim, no one is out to get you, you’ve just made some poor choices in the past and now you’ve learned…hopefully.
Also, shout out to all the Hindus and Buddhist that have survived over the millennia!
Lastly, thank you Dr. Bush for all your hard work!
I think Zach is a brilliant guy, but his Idealism on this topic has him searching for a story that supports his beliefs. like others have said current science is leaning more towards showing the importance of protein and animal products in a healthy diet. particularly as you age and lose the efficiency of your protein metabolism. I think there is a different ratio of macro nutrients that's suits different body types and its up to the individual to experiment with basic whole foods to find out what works for them. but it takes letting go of an ideal and just see how you feel , do you have enough energy to exercise. exercise has been shown to be the best thing for heath period case closed. so it makes sense that your diet should have the right type of nutrients to support that habit without leaving you to depleted and causing extended recovery times.
I like you, I discovered you yesterday and it is like finding my mind. I will watch other podcasts with you, when I have more time. Now I will take a walk with my dogs. Thank you.
Well he is wrong
Interesting theory.
Most people don't drink enough water when consuming protein.
1molecule protein needs 9 molecules water to be assimilated.
This was so interesting as my personal health has improved greatly as I've reduced my animal protein significantly. I sleep better, have more energy and my digestion is better. My husband is having the same experience as we eat more and more from our own garden. This might not be true for everyone. Ultimately the mind is powerful and what we believe had so much to do with what we experience. Once I let go of the idea that we've been fed that meat is necessary, things changed. It's optional and I enjoy it every now and then. Actually, I really enjoy it now because it's special.
And with me it’s the exact opposite! However I don’t eat processed meat, I cook it daily and fresh and my stomach has enough hydrochloric acid to digest it.
Every human in the western world needs to watch this video so they can understand the mis-information that they are basing their diet on that effects their being on all levels. Power Zach as always 🙏✨🪷
I just don't kick how Zack's message can be so contradictory to the seemingly phenomenal results that people on the carnivore diet achieve.
isn't the food pyramid today plant based?? meat has been vilified for years . but I don't think it's meat. I think it's all the processed food people eat. I've walked the vegan path and I can say I felt weaker during my workouts. my recovery was slow. I'm now animal based , and stronger than I've ever been. I would like to see you present your data and debate Dr. Anthony chaffee or Dr. Gabriel lyons.

Been down same road as you, btw, with same results.
Got skinny fat and it completely snuck up on me over 5 yrs. My PT son was beginning to make 'skinny fat' comments to wake me up, which I ignored.
Then one day was watching a Tom Bilyeu interview of
Dr. Lyon on his Impact Theory podcast.
She was, of course, touting animal protein. I was just about to switch her off - because...afterall I WAS vegan - but she just happened to mention 'skinny fat' - AND sarcopenia AND the perils of being undermuscled🤯.
I didn't switch her off, but sat there enthralled with her and that interview. Reverted back to Omnivore that day! Not just Omnivore, but high protein. Animal protein!

I eat a balanced diet...I live in Central America, we eat alot of beans, corn tortillas, fruit and I eat green vegtables...I love fish and the occssional red meats....Eat a variety of things, just not too much meat, but some.
So, if you want to hear every tired, disproven myth about protein, this is the video for you. Once you want to find out the latest scientifically supported views on protein, search for Dr Ted Naiman’s series of videos and his book, or Dr Jason Fung’s (a nephrologist... kidney doctor) and his full debunking of the “protein is bad for your kidneys”.) Zach is spot on about Coofid and glyphosate and statins, but needs to update himself on protein.
Yes, I greatly admire Zach Bush but am surprised by this video. I'm 65 and spent decades eating a plant-based diet, feeling great...until I didn't. Plant toxins harm us slowly, making it difficult to tease apart the true sources of our ailments. I listen to one expert now: my own body. It thrives on meat, especially fatty meat. 🥩

@@alikigia nobody follows those guidelines. It’s not fair to blame guidelines that nobody follows. Fat is to be consumed sparingly in the food pyramid- do we really believe Americans are eating a low fat diet? Carbs will not make you fat unless you are consuming fat with them.
@@alikigia I mean im all for trying new things and testing what works for the individual but I don’t think the food pyramid is a really bad plan in general. It’s probably good for avoiding diabetes and heart disease. My guess is most people with problems are eating donuts and fat foods.
I need someone to go further and discuss Iron deficient anemia, I struggle with this. Actually, for my entire life and I cant seem to consistently manage it with diet or supplements.
Hi Jeni, I’m no expert but the only supplement that ever raised my iron levels was something called “Bob’s iron”. It’s from a compounding pharmacist. Now might be called “Ferapro”?
Also, I read that….You can improve your body's absorption by eating foods containing vitamin C, vitamin A, along with meat, fish, and poultry during your meals. On the other hand, foods containing phytates (cereals and grains), calcium (milk and dairy), and polyphenols (tea and coffee) can hinder iron absorption.
All the best!
the mantra "you are what you eat" comes to mind.... Eat clean..... Biochemistry is interesting but a less complex approach is to look for healthy food from healthy sources which does mean learning about how your food is produced. Reduce the amount of chemical input, if you dont like to idea of mass produced food ie animals in cages then you should avoid the supermarket. Make sure your drinking water supply is clean and find natural minerals.
Fascinating, great information, thank you!
Amazing light being, so much gratitude, sending love and light!🙏🥰💞
I am leaning towards a lower intake of protein but it will be a challenge to get as low as eating somehow healthfully and to sustain you with 20g of protein only per day as an adult…. Without any concentrated protein from animal products you accumulate protein over the course of the day relatively easily
- e.g.: 2 slices of rye bread, a small avocado & a big tomato for breakfast. Lunch: 100g/a cup of dry whole wheat pasta, topped with an onion, clove of garlic, 100g/a generous cup of raw raw mushrooms, 2 cups of spinach, sautéed in olive oil. Dinner: 600g/2.5 cups of a veggie soup (potatoes, carrots, leek, celery, onions, broth/no cream) provide 35g of protein already along with only 1100cal. So at least another healthy 500cal needed to be well „fueled“. And as soon as you add lentils, beans or broccoli or simply more bread for these remaining calories you will be at 40g of protein and more. (Unless you drink olive oil or sodas).
Is it really the protein or the glyphosate in the wheat and other grains causing increases in leaky gut, autoimmunity and food sensitivities? Factory farmed raised animals eat these grains. Not to mention, unless they eat grass for the majority of their lives, their fat is high in the pro-inflammatory Omega-6 fatty acids. When humans eat a hamburger from a fastfood restaurant, they are eating factory farmed raised meat, wheat full of glyphosate and seed oils, which are high in Omega 6 and rancid. I don't think the data will back up what is being said here.
After viewing some of the comments about being less conscious if eating animal protein are we saying that animals that eat animal protein are less conscious???
Also wondering if this means that we think it is more offensive to kill an animal than to kill a plant. The plant is a living thing too. Is the Lion 'less than' because she is a carnivore?
❤❤ I didn't see the Fruits & 'Roots' on there. Potatoes, beets, carrots, etc. are not really vegetables. And the fruits? We need that variety as well
Hmm, I grew up in the 60s and my family (5 kids) on a very tight budget bought 1/2 cow, a pig and bought raw milk every week. We did have a summer garden but vegetables were from cans in the winter. I dont remember having chicken a lot though. So in South Dakota protein was mostly from meat and dairy. We used to move more back then and played in the sunshine.
In Australia in the 50s chickens were only eaten a couple of times a year. They were a luxury. They were never an every day food. I think it wasn't until the 70s when Kentucky Fried chicken hit Australia that chicken became a more regular food.
"There was this idea that protein at the top of that new food pyramid that was starting to be put together by the USDA and the like was with that meat and dairy at the top of the pyramid, suggesting that this is somehow the highest purpose of the entire food system was to get to this meat and dairy protein-density phenomenon." Although it is admittedly kind of difficult to understand exactly what he is trying to convey with that sentence, it sure sounds like he's insinuating that the food pyramid was arranged so that the "most important" foods were at the top, and the least important were at the bottom, as though the pinnacle of the pyramid represented the pinnacle of nutrition. I find it hard to trust that someone has put any research at all into nutrition if he gets that bit of common knowledge so very backwards.
What about for someone into bodybuilding, is it still true that we require significantly more protein to build muscle? And would it be less inflammatory to use mostly plant proteins rather than meat and cheese?
Thank you!
You will need more protein to build muscle when bodybuilding, when compared to someone who does no training.
Less protein is needed when you’re simply just living to maintain. Increase in protein is needed when you’re into sports.
But still people who are active tend to over-consume protein. Of course overconsumption of fat, carbs, and nutrients isn’t good either, it’s not just protein. But protein is always promoted the most. A good ratio on your plate between carbs, fats, protein is the way to go.
Check the movie "Gamechanger" where sports, including bodybuilding, was shown to work just fine with a vegan diet. Even Arnold Shwartzneger became a vegan without losing anything.
@@maggiehamm365 Vegan here. Loved game changers, but Arnold isn't vegan. He still eats meat every now and again, and he still eats eggs
@@maggiehamm365 I think Shawn Baker has debunked this movie.
@@maggiehamm365 game changers is funded by people who sell vegan protein powders. do your research.
I usually don't post if I disagree with a video. But I have to make an exception in this case. A number of things you say are factually incorrect. "Not enough variety of amino acids." There are only 20 amino acids in all protein sources, period. If you're getting the 9 essential amino acids, and a selection of the rest, it truly does not matter where you're getting them from. Numerous peer-reviewed studies have also shown that animal proteins are better absorbed and digested. Vegans looking through the perspective of confirmation bias will choose to ignore the overwhelming scientific evidence about protein uptake and heme2 sources of iron. Also, why do you begin your historical overview so late? For thousands of years, humans ate a primarily meat-based diet. Only after the agricultural revolution were more plants introduced into human diets - and this is relatively late in our evolution. Indeed, a primarily plant-based diet was a marker of class inferiority and/or partial starvation, and was associated across periods and cultures with poorer health. Post-agrarian societies combined eggs, fish, and small game in the absence of the larger game that had been the staple of hunter-gatherer societies. Don't get me wrong, I'm not advocating a paleo or carnivore diet; and I believe we need to stop farming animals under the current conditions. But to state that we should be vegan for optimal health is simply, categorically, historically and scientifically false. You have misrepresented the research here in order to shape your argument, without considering the body of evidence in an even-handed and objective manner.
Yes thank you- this is very surprising to hear from him….
Carnivore is a lot about healthy fats, not just protein, also about avoiding carbs which do often seem to mess with blood sugars which over time can result in metabolic issues etc
Internittent fasting seems to be a crucial factor, not to get clogged up. I could never stop cravings for sugar & snacking until i tried carnivore recently, with plenty of good fats, & fiiiiinally I have overcome my years of sugar & carb addiction.. blessings to the animals, that aspect concerns me deeply, but plants feel pain too, & big agriculture cause a lot of eco damage .. the only real solution i can think of is for all humans to be Breatharian .. (which is possible, but most humans not ready for that)
He compares a SAD diet to a plant based diet, but not a carnivore/keto diet. Most carnivores and ketovores skip meals because they are full from the priir meal, so nothing backs up.
@zach check out the Randal cycle. It could be protein or as you say use the opposite and prove it’s not protein but high carbs or access carbs
I think you meant excess carbs.
Have learnt alot from your podcast. Thank you for this education.
Thanks Zach and well done even though you knew the inevitable backlash . Excess protein is the scourge of the Western diet and I have spent my career educating people on this point always health improves and you can become lonely in the nutritional space full of Keto / Paleo or whatever the next trend will be. Big respect. Blue zones low protein, effective natural cancer therapies low protein , a healthy spirit from a healthy diet for you and the planet a plant based low protein one. Bless you Zack these facts will not change no matter what the latest pro protein sponsored food cartel clinical study says. The programming is a deep one honestly a very deep programming .
Maybe you haven’t noticed but there is definitely a „vegetable cartel „! It’s an agenda.
How do I get the satisfied feeling I get from protein when I’m eating plant based? I do plant based, but usually by the end of every week I just feel off (starting to feel light headed, depressed), until I eat protein usually red meat. Maybe that’s a proper balance. Two or three meat meals per week. I agree that protein is over consumed, in the way that it’s expected in every meal. But I feel especially when I’m active I need protein.
I’ve learned so much from this presentation and the one about emotional healing. Both these videos have added to my depth of understand of the human condition concerning diet and healing. These are extremely prevalent topics that will assist me and be taken to there height in assisting others. Many blessing friend.
But Shawn baker, Paul Saladinio, and liver king. How do you explain them?
Beautifully articulated. Thank you Zach Bush!
For my self, only red meat twice a week thn hm made fish fitters and roosters on occasion off my land
I do eat/drink a lot of eggs thought I don't eat alot of green only that off my property which consists of growing Greens and foraged nutritional weeds, I try not to need to buy these from the supermarkets because of all the pesticides that are sprayed on or around thm and tend to skip meals now and thn don't have big portions either.
But my two weaknesses are coffee and chocolate that I wrk to keep to a minimum
Figger all die of something, so try not to over think it just let my body tell want it wants .
Thanks for this very interesting information, I do love learn about nutrition tho, so really appreciate this, and appreciate that you talk like we understand everything you're saying. absolutely loved this bit
And prefer it, if I don't understand some it makes me look into it more eg further educating myself. ❤
Well what if the body doesn’t break down protein but instead it breaks down fat? Wouldn’t ketosis and intermittent fasting scare the body to conserve muscle mass and change physiology to instead burn fat to make up for the lack of glucose? I’ve heard that cursing fasting, the body releases human growth hormone to help preserve muscle mass this would stop the toxic muscle break down wouldn’t it?
… eloquent and insightful, as always ~ thank you💚🙏☺️
Thank you
I’ll be having the protein platter
I tried adding more cruciferous vegetables to my diet and it was disastrous. Besides the vile nauseating taste, they gave me unbearable gas and bloating. I no longer eat any veggies unless someone else cooks them for me and I eat them to be respectful. My mom is vegetarian and I bought her whey protein, an active b complex vitamin, and creatine. She felt much better and lost some pounds, despite already being a decent weight. My point is that veggies take like ass for a reason.
at half of the video I am wondering: so the more sugar we consume the better we run our body?😮 Thanks for any clarifying comments on that...
I'm diabetic, I cannot eat large amount of carbs or sugar. I need protein and fiber to slow down my digestive process, so, I don't get sugar spikes.
Congratulate onions, brother, you did great.
Unfortunately I have to disagree with some of things he’s saying here. After being diagnosed with Hashimotos (which spurred up after Covid), I started seeing a homeopath. We did a blood test and many plant and animal proteins I could not process and had to be removed from diet. My diet consisted of many fish, pork and chicken with spinach and asparagus with occasional oranges, pineapple and blackberries. I could eat raw pecans, and pistachios and peanuts. I don’t think there is a one size fits all diet and eating clean meat was essential. And I’m currently taking bovine adrenals which have helped with healing my own nervous system.
Possible things to look at , clean out the liver and colon .. then slowly introduce these items back in ., that’s the main culprit
Someone needs to take their biology courses over again.

Interesting when I went carnivore my hashimotos disease was reduced by 50%....why is that.
Meat is the least inflamitory out of all nutrients. Plants with all of there oxalate/lectins/deuterium / etc. Fiber
tearing up the gut...Zach is a medical doctor...if you want to know what is going listen to Bart Kay a physiologist.
Assuming you were on a less restrictive diet before going carnivore, by eliminating certain foods by going carnivore, what ever food/foods were causing you trouble are now gone.
It might not necessarily mean that it’s a higher meat diet that’s helped you, but could potentially be what you eliminated from your diet that’s helped with your disease - this could be another possibility? Either way, nice to hear your doing better 👍🏼
Glyphosate
you just stopped eating the stuff that gave you trouble. it's not the meat. Bart Kay is an idiot
Question, what do the sentient animals being killed for their dead flesh eat for their protein?
Do they have two stomachs? Do you?
Hi Diyana, If your referring to cows, Most people have heard of the cow's four stomachs. In reality, cattle have one stomach divided into four compartments -
I love his views on nature, but his views on protein disagree with our biology, history and anthropology. Humans are designed to eat mostly fatty meat, not plants. As well as the science, just read the comments from carnivore forums, just how many of the posters are ex vegans who have regained their health by eliminating plants and focusing on fatty ruminant meat. Animal protein does not cause us harm, eating lean animal protein is the problem, we should be focusing more on the fat.
I am one
thats anecdotal, theres no science backing it up. our biology and history also don't back it up. people rarely ever ate mostly meat, and the time when they did, the lifespan was like 30. theres no data whatsoever that shows eating more meat is better for anything. This is also ignoring the fact that because so many people eat such large amounts of meat in the west, all the meat you can get is objectively horrible, full of chemicals and antibiotics and hormones.
Why do low carb'ers, carnivores end up with electrolyte imbalance and other deficiencies if meat is so nutritious and we should be eating lots of it
@@nicmri you'll become deficient in a lot of vitamins unless you can afford and have access to high quality grass fed meat and organs, which almost nobody does. and even then you'll still be missing some vitamins, no antioxidants, no fiber, and carbs are still an essential nutrient and its stupid to cut it out of your diet. you know he had over 500 ldl cholesterol right? its not healthy.
@@nicmri Take your own advice. There's literally not a single accredited cardiologist or nutritionist on the planet, and not a single study done, that says carnivore is healthy. The arrogance you people have is astounding.
Lost me by 11 minutes in, I didn’t realise this wasn’t promoting protein.
I’ve improved my kidneys eating the proper human diet of nutrient dense proteins.
Protein is in everything .....if your saying you get your protein mainly from animal sources ....you dont have to ....that is the truth and that is what this doctor is talking about.
@@tinanickerson1006 no true all the nutrients you need are in red meat but you have to eat nutrient rich mest

Well said, me too, I expected the opposite conclusion!
@@donewittit6607 it's transitional. Magnesium imbalance is common too. carbs hold on to a lot of water, so without them the body has to learn to retain the minerals without carbs. took me about a year to transition fully.

20. Ye shall purify yourselves daily and rest the Seventh Day from labour, keeping holy the Sabbaths and the Festival of your God.
21. Ye shall do unto others as ye would that others should do unto you.
-Gospel Of The Nazarenes, Chapter 46
That is not what the Bible says. In the book of Leviticus God gives us a list of foods we are to eat and ruminant animals are on that list along with fish with scales and fins.
False doctrine from a false book. Check your sources. The Gospel is found in the Holy Bible. Search it out.
Where do these fundamentalist religious people come from?
And then next says don’t raise questions of conscious about what to eat. Then Jesus feeds people fish, uses fatted calf slaughter for wedding feast references in his parables, and requested lamb with bitter herbs at the last supper. Then God gave Peter a vision of animals and said to kill and eat, and do not call unclean what I have made clean. Jesus also said it is not what goes into you that defiles you but what comes out of the heart that defiles you. Peace, God bless
Humans are not horses or gorillas. These animals eat enormous ammounts of plants.
Humans are not jaguars or wolves, these animals diets are full mostly meat.
I thought this guy was smart! He's talking about protein over consumption in the American culture!!!Our kids are riddled with fatty liver disease from CARB AND SUGAR over-consumption and lack of protein.
❤refreshing to hear such facts.
I am confused if protein is formed from glucoss why eat any protein foods
Perhaps humanity’s worst fault is trying to black and white/ oversimplify. When in reality what we have and should respect is a spectrum of grays.
We’re all unique and shouldn’t expect others or ourselves to fit within the same boxes.
Aren't you doing the same damage you're talking about. Anybody w a wee bit of knowledge knows you would NOT eat a steak before a race n that protein digest slowly compared to carbs. As a retired hospice worker, some of the most malnourished individuals are those that did not eat enough protein in their diet, especially from animal meat. C'moooooon Maaaan!!
This is somewhat nonsensical in parts. Protein isn't quote "made from sugar", it's turned into usable energy via the citric acid cycle. There are people who need MORE protein than others, and disease-states like kwashiorkor (protein-calorie malnutrition) that come about as a result of not getting enough sulfur-based proteins (methionine and cysteine) in the diet. If they don't get those specific proteins, they DIE.
Notice that the study he referred to for a 14 hour digestion of protein was actually pizza and cheese!! By his own words. Where is the clinical study of a diet including beef and vegetables?
3 phd's in he still doesn't get it on so many different aspects of health
Do I want a large belly like a cow or other animal? No. And cows have 4 stomach chambers, and have more time to absorb nutrients during digestion.
Bro looks like he’s finna “tend to the rabbits”
You clearly don’t understand the economy. Our poor health and incredibly high healthcare costs are not crippling the economy. They are a huge part of the economy. If we slashed our healthcare costs to nothing, and huge piece of our economy would vanish. That’s a fact
I am confused as to why you framed protein as a fuel source at all? You did say it isn’t a fuel source but then went on to talk about how it’s used as a fuel source when this is a very rare occurrence in the body when it’s essentially starving with no fat left to use as fuel. Protein is an essential building block but you never even talked about it.
I pose a question for the doctor. Do you really think the cause of all the modern malaise we see now is really because of something we’ve eaten since Millenia? Or maybe due to the practises of the processing of fake food like substances we are now eating en mass as a society? Common sense would suggest it’s something that we’ve only been doing in the last few decades that is at the real source of chronic modern disease.
Always enjoy some Dr. Bush. As someone who recently learned in nutrition school the value of protein rich animal meats, particularly organ meats, and how they can fit into a healthy diet and a healthy planet through regenerative farming, I am coming from the opposite side on this one. However, I believe it is always important to challenge your beliefs especially in the ever evolving, ever individualized space that is nutrition. Anything less is unscientific. I also recently heard Gabriel Lyons on Health Theory extolling the benefits of including MORE protein in the diet. I would love to see a civilized debate or someone critically analyzing these to diametrically opposed paradigms to find what interesting gems lie beneath. There is so much yet to be learned in nutrition, we are infants. However, the dogma wars are killing the open dialogue necessary for such progress to happen. We need more people willing to cross the isle, look skeptically at their own beliefs, and consider the data supporting other approaches. Bravo Zach, well done as always.
What do you mean. Protein has been an established essential since the very start of nutrition itself. Everyone has come across the line to tell you. Everyone has said it forever. It's like the oldest food knowledge since fire was discovered
Beautifully said, Ethan. Thank you for making an effort to write the comment. Let that message spread far and wide. Let's keep discovering!

Health School? Yeah , disagree with Zach Bush . You are obviously green, ignorant to these subjects . Protein is Protein, AA ratios matter . So if we can get the optimism amounts of AA’s from a plant based diet , why kill shit ?
I agree 100% with you! I would love to see that debate with Dr Bush vs Dr Donald Layman (Dr Lyon’s mentor) at Andrew Huberman’s!
That was interesting. But I’ve been a vegan and a vegetarian for 2 years of my life and I was at my worst. It wasn’t until I found a guy named Dr. Eric Berg and d started following a healthy ketogenic diet and eat once or twice a day. And I’ve never felt better and it’s been 4 years now. I agree completely about overconsumption and how corrupt agriculture has become. And part of the reason I went Vegan in the first place was because of spirituality and love and concern for the earth. But I don’t think eliminating all animal products from your diet is the answer. And I get tired of the judgements around people who do eat meat or fish that somehow they’re lacking Concsiousness or spiritual awareness. It’s simply not true. I think different people require different things. And some people do well on vegan diets and others don’t. And part of having a healthy body is to stop eating constantly we’re not meant to eat every 3 hours of our life. It’s about paying attention to the needs of your body. If I started eating beans, lentils and grains and potatoes I’d blow up and I’d constantly be hungry. It’s a horrible way to live , I’ve been there and done it. There definitely needs to be a regenerative agriculture push and elimination of the standard American diet and a stop to corporate farming and processed foods. But I don’t think making the entire planet vegan is the way to go.
Couldn't agree more Amy. Bless.
I couldn't disagree more.
My takeaway from this was to reduce the amount of animal protein we eat. And to change our thinking of what it does for our bodies. I use animal protein as a "condiment" and feel much better.
Why not just reduce the amount of animal protein you eat? You don't have to be vegan. As he said, these diets (keto and vegan alike) are just fads. It takes a lot of knowledge to eat a healthy vegan diet and most people just don't have the awareness of nutrition to do it right. Americans have the most perturbed microbiomes in the world. The most likely reason you cannot eat 'healthy' foods is that your microbiome is depleted. Americans have literally lost the bacteria that digest plant fibers. There are ways to heal but it takes a lot of know-how. Keto is just a band-aid - it is like an antibiotic and that is why it makes many people feel better. But Dr. Berg won't tell you this. I PROMISE you, he is getting THICK kickbacks from the meat and dairy lobbies. I promise you he is only telling you part of the story.
I really like dr berg
As a weight trainer of 47-years who has lived the protein paradigm of old, I can confirm Dr. Bush is 100% correct. Too much protein is toxic, inflammatory, acidifying and dangerous to human biome, biology, anatomy, physiology, etc. I suffered the fallout from years of consuming too much protein. Carnivores must be made aware that it is not a consumption of dead, cooked, denatured animal flesh that has led them to better health but rather a recession of former dietary habits that led them to better health. People opt from one dietary habit to another then attribute an improvement in health to subsequent dietary habits when the fact is their health had already begun to improve as soon as they stopped consuming the foods that made them sick prior. The best option are living, raw, enzymatic, fiber-rich, nutrient-dense foods that nature provides us. Even the animals that carnivores consume eat these foods to keep them healthy, strong and nourished. If anything, omnivore is best. Stay balanced for optimal health.
I've been carnivore for a year. I never had serious health issues but I've started adding carbs back and I feel like trash. Back to carnivore. Feel like I'm a teenager again although ironically I was a vegetarian from either grade to college.
@@annacahill5394fiber is processed by a gut microbiome that becomes disrupted when we eat too little fiber over a long period. A year without fiber means you microbiome needs a slow and guided reintroduction of fiber to be able to process fully comfortably. Not advocating for veganism or any specific diet other than the addition of fiber and veggies
I've stayed with carnivore my Grey hair is gone and my "food pouch" as my toddler called it is gone. I finally quit coffee and I feel absolutely amazing. I can't imagine going back to veggies and carbs. I have however increased my fat tons. My goal is 3 grams fat to 1 gram protein but I'm currently probably getting 1 to 1. My mind is sooo sharp. I have just increased my income by 40%.
Oh I did forget to say I use salt and drink tea.
I have leaky Gut and have severe autoimmune reactions anytime I eat carbs or fiber. I've tried countless diets from low fodmaps to scd diet and the only thing that doesn't cause me issues is when I eat only meat and eggs.
look into Zach Bush's ION Biome for healing leaky gut
I know i have the same, if I feel that my gut do not work properly only meat and eggs are sure.....
That's the sign of a seriously damaged gut. Try to restore it by really slowly introducing back the veggies. In baby steps, if needed. As soon as your gut starts to heal and the necessary bacteria starts to develop in it, thanks to those small portions of veggies, you are good to go with bigger and bigger portions until finally you are "normal". It's a path well worth taking.
Slowly switching to a organic plant based diet not vegetarian or not vegan but plant-based with wild caught salmon 3 times a week pasture-raised eggs a few times a week and pasture-raised meats a few times a week. I feel better with this diet.
I’ve always loved Zack Bush. Still do. However I must weigh in here. I was vegetarian for decades. I ended up with lots of problems from oxalate and Phytates etc. Could barely move my fingers elbows an shoulders my search led
Me to carnivore diet. In only 4 months. All joint pain gone and fingers not sticking bent over! Also. My receding gums grew back and healed. Also no longer need reading glasses (at 68 yrs old). Brown spots on hands faded away. I have more energy and
My weight has normalized. I was very careful about
My food choices as a veg person. Didn’t over eat starches etc. It took a
Lot to change to meat eater. But I feel the best I have in 50 years! What gives here. I’m also a very spiritual person and that remained even though I changed my diet to
Carnivore
I had a similar experience. My body is so much happier when I started eating good quality grass fed meat a few times per week. If I skip red meat for more than a couple of days, I get sluggish and depressed. I really noticed an energy shift when I added a third of an ounce of raw organic grass fed beef liver to my smoothie. For me, I suspect it has more to do with the retinol and fats, than the protein.
70% of vegans get more protein than they need.Most people stop the carnivore diet it’s not sustainable
Thank-you for sharing❤
Let's not forget that the brain is 60% fat.
If it works for you, then do what you need to do. Just realize that it could be particular species of bacteria in your digestive tract that cause negative reactions due to the chemical composition, fiber, sugars in plants that these bad bacteria feed upon. When you don't eliminate them, then plant matter will proliferate the bad bacteria that feeds on it, whereas eating meat won't provide an ample food source for those bacteria. The fact is, dead, cooked meat is also denatured via the cooking process. That's why no one's ever seen lions cooking on a grill. Humans are not like lions, tigers or other carnivores but rather nearly identical to primates - gorillas, chimps, apes, etc who are primarily plant eaters. If there is a negative reaction to plants, then it's not a plant issue but rather a biological, anatomical, physiological, biome issue inside of the individual. Oxalates are a mechanism for keeping insects off of plants but there aren't enough to compromise healthy people. Those with compromised immunity, gut flora, etc will be more susceptible to negative side-effects. Long-term carnivore results n acidosis when the body must leach minerals to maintain base alkalinity/homeostasis of 7.36-.7.40. Food is supposed to be the alkalizer not the body but for survival purposes. Also remember that no meat, fish, chicken, etc has fiber to engage peristalsis. Only plants contain fiber for this essential process. Again, if the diet helps, then by all means do what you must. Just beware of long-term effects and adjust to at least some fruits, melons, berries, etc to reduce acidosis. Glad you're well and take care. 😊
I was wondering when someone would start vilifying protein. It was done with fat then carbs guess now it's good ole protein's turn. I'm waiting for the next brave doctor to bust all the myths about water and why it's actually harmful to us and why we must spend money on their alternative.
I've been an athlete all my life and tried all different diets.. i tried being a veggie as well with my wife, but i tried bringing back meat again and I've never felt better. Stabile. Energy is good and stable. I eat meat, fruits, kefir,honey,eggs and little cheese. Sometimes i can carb up before long run or heavy metcons with white rice. This just feels good. After over 20years of training u start to intuitive what is good and not.

@@VirginiaFitzpatrick you need more protein as you age. not less
I have been on a carnivore diet for 6 months now. I feel so much better than I did on a vegetarian diet for many years. Also, all my lab markers are far better than they were in my vegetarian years. The bioavailability of nutrients are far superior in meat than they are in plant-based protein. I never knew I could feel so healthy and satiated by the food that I eat. My body does not do well with the carbs and sugars on a plant-based diet. I used to struggle with food (particularly carb) addiction patterns that I tried to control for decades. Now on a carnivore diet I have such freedom from food addiction. This diet is amazingly satiating and fulfilling. It is certainly not just amino acids that you get from meat. There are so many other essential nutrients that are very difficult if not completely unavailable from plant-based proteins. It is my experience that my digestive system is much happier on my meat diet than it was on the plant diet. I have contact with many people with serious digestive problems eating mostly plants - leaky gut, in my experience, is much more likely to be a plant-based problem.
You may like the word "putrefaction" however I will use the word, "fermentation" which I believe our particular human digestive system is beautifully designed to use (along with the level of stomach acid) to smoothly digest a predominately meat-based diet.
Very interesting that you relate our increase in food sensitivities and auto immune diseases to eating meat. Everyone that I know that has switched from a plant-based diet to a carnivore diet has literally eliminated all their food sensitivities and auto immune problems. I experience that much of what you say is exactly opposite. For instance, talking about using a traditional diet, would have to lead you directly back to our hunter-gather origins. They predominately used meat. There is absolutely no credible science that proves that eating meat causes cancer or kidney disease. I think you do your audience a great disservice by making these sweeping claims with out credible science to back them up. Are you saying that we should follow our current governments dietary recommendations for protein?! You, being the one who is clear about how we have been misled about cholesterol, statins, and coronary artery disease, which by the way, I agree with you entirely on this subject. All that agricultural technology you speak of as producing corn for feed-lot animals is much harder on the life of our soil and the ecosystem of our planet when growing plants and grains in the monoculture system to provide for a plant-based diet rather than the beautiful biodiversity and healthy soil that is produced from regenerative grazing of ruminant animals "Grass Loves to be Grazed"!!
I feel exactly as you said that we are a miracle of creation, being totally designed to be consumers of meat. We can choose to align with nature and regenerate our earth by doing away with the destructive monocultural agricultural practices and learn to love our bodies by giving them them the type of nutrition they are desperately asking for.
Thank you! You pretty much summed up everything I felt as I listened to this.
I have followed Zack a while. Heck, I even subscribed to his product just to see, even though it made no sense to me.

Good thing I read your comment before typing out my perspective - you've summed it up perfectly! Also saved me an hour lol
Thank you for your response. It is important that we flood responses to Zack showing him that there are others out here who enjoy Zack's perspective on so many things, and felt disappointed that he gave such a biased and unscientific perspective on a meat-based diet. Hope you will let him know your own perspective. Clearly he is a master at showing that you can use manipulation of any theory with profound intelligent speech to prove your personal bias.

we are not carnivores, and our bodies need the variety of the omnivore diet for the omnivores that we are!
Some non-essential amino acid precursors are indeed produced using intermediary compounds formed in the citric acid cycle. But no essential amino acids are formed there; that's why they're called "essential" and why humans must consume adequate amounts of external protein regularly.
The statement that the citric acid cycle produces the proteins the body needs "from sugar" is extremely simplistic and ridiculous, with no basis in science. It is true that many Americans overconsume protein, but the recommendations presented here would create the opposite problem: starvation-level protein deficiencies. Best course: Don't take advice from zealots. Moderation is key.
you got that right john...I find that folks with phd's in physiology have a better understanding of the intricacy of what's
going on than the Medical doctors who studied pill pushing. Apeal to authority.
So what we eat and absorb is altered, broken down, synthesized, assembled, and discarded but human and non human cells.
The proteins in our body are synthesized and assembled from more basic more simple ingredients rather than directly from food.
This would not happen if the citric acid cycle stopped.
Animal based food can be eliminated with regard go making protein.
Dietary diversity is necessary and normative diets are studied in many different places. Many people are extremely and or chronically and acutely our of balance and healthful population normative balance would help many. It isnt exclusive from suiting it in some basic simple ways to the individual.
So what was your point?
What are you pushing?
Protein is not the only nutrition in animal products either. DHA is essential for the brain and cell membranes and the body uses inferior fatty acids that dont conduct electrically/energetically when deficient. Its an enormous problem when studied in the research and leaving this out of this presentation that seems to be going for 'synthesis' is just inadequate in my opinion. Vascular disease is responsible for more deaths than everything else, including Kidney diseases by a vast margin. Im confused by this incomplete argument..

It's still not a slam dunk that people should take Omega 3 SUPPLEMENTS nor is the amount route and frequency for each age group certain enough.
And in men at risk of prostate cancer some may want to avoid THOSE supplements.
Simply, controversy exists.
Using and abusing the food chain for this type of supplement doesn't seem warranted or fair.
Algal based ones that are tested for purity and active ingredient properly and routinely by valid labs is necessary but very unlikely that info can be had or had accurately with far too many products in this largely under regulated market.
Quality control?
Get what you paid for?
Solid science?
Risk, cost and time analysis ?
Is one's diet and activity optimized for the individual?
Interaction with other chemicals meds vits etc?
Disease supplement contraindications?
And really what statistical and clinical difference would a supplement make in that individual at the dosage started at that time and for that duration?
Chances are, as we see with too many prescriptions the actual benefit risk analysis is quite underwhelming on benefits and overwhelming on down sides including cost benefit to people and life on Earth.
Much of what is made and what leaves the body when it comes to what people's take in their body remains biologically active.
Billions of people's waste impacts health to nature including other people.
Rain water soil air is or becomes too polluted and often without good enough reasons.
Corporations business and people externalize and ignore their unwanted unsafe unpleasant impacts on nature.
The more you know the worse it gets in these regards.
@@Madasin_Paine I absolutely agree and find your thinking is holistic and that’s essential to undoing all this damage the environment and it’s creatures are suffering. I mentioned supplements not because I’m advocating but more as a part of the arguments vegans make now.. that while B12 and DHA can be supplemented and don’t need to be eaten in animal products anymore, it’s obvious that if these are essential to human health, which they obviously are, and animal products are the only place to find them in adequate amounts, that it can not possibly follow that we are naturally vegans! So why the oversimplification from someone as intelligent and well meaning as Dr Bush? I find this a challenge in challenging times, when a thought leader isn’t thinking clearly or simply fails to state the challenges they should recognize to their own arguments as if the agenda is the most important thing. People will hear this talk and without deeper learning will hear him say that ‘sugar’ is the best answer. It’s disappointing to say the least..
Last year I have tried veganism. But after a few months I really missed the animal fats and proteins. I can not eat to much fiber, no legumes, no grains, no fermented veg. It gives me diarrhea. I need full fat dairy and fatty meat. I think it is different for everybody depending on our origins. I originate from Finland. In Finland people had no vegetables and fruit. They had mostly fish, meat and dairy.
Have you herd of the micro biome in your gut? The biome needs time to change when changing foods. So your bloating and flatulence was due to only having a micro minor that is used to heavy fats (Animal Proteins) and little fiber.
To help the digestive system it should be done in steps not all at once. All plants have protein, to build muscle it’s the amino acids that are needed. There is a lot of literature around this topic. Be sure to look for those not funded by the industry that has something to gain or loose depending on the outcome. Hope this helps give insight into why you had your experience.
Much Aloha 🙏🌺😎
@@giselafiege7169 Hi! Before going vegan I was not eating lots of fat and protein. I was whole food flexitarian omnivore. Then I tried vegan for about 7 months: I could not get stronger in sports, was always tired, had always fatty diarrhea, bloating, gas. Like when I was omnivore (I already had diarrhea and gas since I was 9 months old, but back then we didn't know about gluten and all the anti-nutrients in plants). I started to crave meat and dairy after a few months of veganism. Now on keto I am getting really strong muscles and have good energy and good stools. I discovered that my gut and microbiome do not like unsoluble fiber, gluten, lectins, oxalates and fructose. I do get fiber, from sweat potato, avocado, zuchini (pealed and deseeded), macadamia nuts. My gut and microbiome prefer soluble fiber. Eating meat is natural, we are hunters, not herbivores. Meat and dairy have all the protein we need. Plants do not. When eating vegan you have to combine different plants to get all the essential amino acids. And omega 3 from plants, ALA, has to be converted in the body to DHA and EPA. It's a difficult not very succesful process. Omega 3 from animal food, DHA and EPA, is available for the body right away.
@@KirstiCheetahhYou have a lot to learn about plant nutrients. Did you listen to this talk? Watch the Game Changers.
@@alisonlevity Hi! I watched The Game Changers two years ago and went vegan. I gained 6 kilos, got fatigued all the time, got weak muscles, my fibromyalgia got worse. Now on keto with lots of animal fat and protein and some veg (but not much) I am getting stronger and stronger and the fibromyalgia is gone! I will never go back to veganism.
strange when I went animal based my years of bloating and inflammation went away as well as neurological problems dissappeared, for now I'm sticking to animal fat and protein because I feel so healthy now, no more leaky gut etc
I absolutely adore this video! This Doc explains this topic beautifully.. I am sharing this with people I care about. Thank you 🙏🏾❤️
Can somone share a source for the concept of making essential amino acids from glucose from the diet?. Sadly no souces or references provided here by the author.
Have you found any? Bold claims need bold evidence.
With a wrecked digestive system and leaky gut, an intolerance to gluten and dairy, I switched to a plant based diet. And every time I ate I would get bloated, constipated, way too much mucus production and joints painfully inflamed. And a part of my decision to go plant based was the spiritual belief that it was a higher consciousness to not eat animals. And my health continued to go downhill.
I switched to Keto and intermittent fasting and have never felt better. Inflammation gone, bloating gone. I don't eat a huge amount of meat and stick to organic beef and oily fish. Occasionally I will eat something processed or grains or potatoes then regret that decision for the next couple of days when the sugars kick in.
I get where you are coming from and I wish the food chain was better, but it's not the meat that's the issue, it's the health of the food chain overall.
Well said.. its a holistic fuckery of a system..
You have it, spot on. I have a similar experiance but as a althelete my requirements may be slightly different.
@@murraypooley9199 Every person needs to find what works best for them. I don't agree with poor treatment of animals but a lot of vegan processed food is really not healthy at all.
Best of luck with your sport 😊👍
@@NothingByHalves Thankyou. I agree everyone is different, there is no one rule for everyone. But if I were to generalise I would have to go high on healthy fats, zero on glycemic carbs and moderate on protien. This will differ to the individual metabulism, excerciseand other factors of course. The human body does not require added glucose, it makes what it requires. There are many very clever doctors and scientists who agree with my life style and CrossFit recomend it. They would seem to have no agenda while the high sugar argument has big foodie and climate change advacates pushing billions of dollars into promoting to ban meat and go for GM soy based 3d printed plastic meat. Of course processed seed oils are as toxic as sugar. Together they = poison. If this becomes general, get ready for billioneers becoming trillioneers and the worlds population getting much sicker.
@@murraypooley9199 yes, the balance you describe works for me. Although I am possibly a bit higher on protein at the moment.
I know that Zach Bush believes in vegan permaculture rather than processed food, and I would love to see us return to that in the future. Very interesting that the farmers were told back in the 1950s that organic permacultures and crop rotation wouldn't grow enough food...and they would need fertiliser...made by Monsanto...who were big funders of the farming industry... (follow the money, every time 🤭)
And now that the soil is destroyed they want to reverse all the changes they made, whilst getting rid of the cows and feeding us bugs when the food supplies run out. Right. Really.
I fell for the seed oils for a while too. Practically had to change everything I thought was healthy and am feeling better as a result 😊 Lots of great nutritionists out there and many functional fitness instructors really know their stuff too - glad you've found something that worked 🤗
Can you please clarify the biochemical mechanism whereby protein is made from glucose. I'm aware of gluconeogenesis, whereby glucose can be made from protein, but I wasn't aware that protein or nitrogen can be made from glucose. How can nutrigen created from carbon?
Yes the mechanism exists in a herbivore ..say a cow who has this ability based on an evolutionary symbiotic relationship with gut microbes that can manufacture all the necessary amino acids.......hence proteins........Humans ...no can do
Review this talk again including the part on the citric acid cycle and amino acid production. Remember, only 8 essential amino acids but many more nonessential ones the body makes. From these few the body makes hundreds of thousands of structural proteins and enzymes.
@@Madasin_Paine I understand how the body makes non-essential amino from essential amino acids. but the body does not make amino acids from glucose. the screen shot he showed in the video shows how glucose is used in the citric acid cycle, not how amino acids are made from glucose. if his biochem is fundamentally flawed, I'm pretty sceptical that he has absolutely no idea what he's talking about when he starts talking about gain of function.
@@jamesgnydjenko7758 I’m still not sure a cow can convert glucose to amino acids but their guts are able to process a lot of grass to make protein. Most humans don’t eat a lot of grass, twigs and leaves before they reach for the doughnuts or refined vegetable oils that are now ubiquitous in our food supply.
😂. Nobody knows!
Appreciate a great deal of Zack Bush’s work, but I really feel he is behind the times on this topic. I wish he would come to open debate with other leaders of wellness and health on this topic. His perspective on the gut Microbiome is very advanced and is understanding about the negative impacts of chemical agriculture. But he doesn’t seem to be applying that understanding to the sources of proteins that these people are consuming in their detrimental effects. Either way I will be staying tuned to see how all of these great minds resolve their differences :-) I only pray that we come to talk respectfully and with genuine curiosity and humility so that we may find the truth 🙌🙏
100 percent. I think he’s incredibly smart and well meaning. A true humanitarian for sure. But plant fiber makes me so sick much of the time. I try to eat the lower fiber veg because that’s all my body seems to tolerate, lettuce, peas, carrots. Oddly I do digest avocados well. Maybe because it’s fiber and fat combined.?
Great insight! Between you, Wim Hof and Michael Levin I'm getting stoked by what we can achieve! Thanks for the push towards a more colon and planet friendly diet!
You going carnivore too? Welcome! I love grass fed lamb (good protein to fat ratio) and grass fed ribeyes. I’m having a hard find finding fresh liver though, frozen isn’t the same 😢 pasture raised eggs with salt and ghee 😊
@@Liyaxs LOL that's as planty as I get too, eating animals that are grass-fed! 😆
I have been vegan for 35 years and healthily and happily so. There is always so much out there about different diets, and I make sure I listen to all kinds of stuff - carnivore, paleo, vegan, etc. It was never my intention to be dogmatically vegan, I just wanted to be healthy. However, I support everyone's right to eat for their own bodies, what works for them, because we are all different. The amount of talk around protein I've heard lately on podcasts is almost entirely around how unhealthy it is to be vegan, that we are not getting enough protein, etc. It has definitely made me question my choices, but my body does not want animal protein, and I check in regularly! This video helps explain why I feel good and healthy and strong on my vegan diet. I eat a lot of nuts, seeds, beans and veggies, and I will keep listening to people I respect, even those who think vegan is the wrong diet. Vegan is not wrong for me personally, but I'm going to keep my mind open to knowledge and information, especially from my own body. Since Zach Bush is one of the doctors and humans I trust most these days, I am grateful for his take on all of this. Thank you!
@Susan D, love the kindness and level headedness of your approach. Very refreshing to see at time when most of those who happen not to agree with our views and philosophy are quickly chastised and written off. Thanks for being civil about an often controversial issue.
@@johncarr6496 I appreciate you writing this to me! You are right, there is so much adversity going on all around us, when we could at least try to listen to each other. Sharing knowledge is a good thing, it should not be a competition. We will all make better decisions when we can talk to each other, listen, learn and evaluate. Fighting just makes us dumb and isolated.
Yes, Dr. Zach Bush is literally a powerhouse of nutritional information
Is he recommending 40 grams of protein daily? Other doctors are recommending 100 if working out!
Your choice. ROFL❤
@@SusanDMusic So right Susan, I've gone thru a plethora of diets and as a very active woman in my mid 70's, I find eating meat gives me much more energy, however we all have different constitutions and I believe it best to find out what our own personal dosha (our constitution in the ancient 5000 yr old Ayurvedic Practice). Life is a beautiful thing and finding what works for our own bodies and not just going along with someone else's opinion is or moral judgement's because in the end, it's all just "their opinion" at the moment. Have a blessed day.
40 grams of protein is simply just not enough for most of us athletes. This smells of bias
He does these 4 minute nitrous oxide exercises …….i wonder if he got the jab
