Finally, you interviewed the OG of the keto diet. Love Dr. Westman. He’s been in this space for over 20 years and trained along side Dr. Adkins. Much respect for this man and what he has to say. One of the few I actually listen to.
Thank you very much for this interview! The only thing I didn't like about it is that it was too short. I have followed Dr. Eric Westman's science-based keto diet consistently for 5 years. It's a very meat heavy, very low plant keto diet. As a result I've reversed hypertension, severe acid reflux, severe allergies, high triglycerides, and low HDL. I lost 35 lbs of fat without even trying and gained muscle mass. My wife has been eating the same way and she has reversed symptoms of her autoimmune disorder, lost significant body fat without trying, and we both enjoy better sleep, consistent high energy all day long, and mental clarity. My father in-law has been following the same way of eating and he has reversed type 2 diabetes, kidney disease, mild cognitive decline, and lost significant body fat with zero exercise. His doctor has de-prescribed most of his many medications. I love and follow many of the health professionals and other influencers in the low-carb eating space, but Dr. Eric Westman is by far my favorite and the one I trust the most. My family and I have so much to thank him for.
Dr, Atkins saved my life. May he RIP. I am sure he's in heaven. I still count net carbs and not ALL carbs as Dr. Westman recommends. I do exercise but for other reasons than weight loss. These videos are inspirational and help keep us motivated. Ty Lillie; I am a long time subscriber.
GREAT VIDEO LILLIE! You are doing good and important work with this interview and your channel, thank you. The world needs multiple voices providing the information that empowers people, such as you two on this video. Cheers! :)
I took Dr. Westman's Keto Made Simple course almost 2 years ago and have lost over 130 pounds and feel like I have my life back. Great interview - thanks for this video!
I spoke at a 2020 Dr Westman conference as a success. I had an artery clog after a triathlon and they gave me many medications. With Dr westmans help I used diet instead. Still doing today as a carnivore now.
Me to. Good luck. So far I have reversed high blood pressure and I lost 60 lbs. Working on the decades of damage now from a horrible diet etc. to carnivore/ketovore as work on becoming fat adapted again and fully carnivore after eating a few carbs daily for the last few weeks. I have had increased joint pain and I do not gain fat just saggy skin if I eat junk but, 3 days fasting and i can reverse that however I want to stay as fit as possible so I can do as much as possible for as long as I can. So far it has made a huge difference. The only person I am cheating is myself when I eat chocolate or carbs. I am trying to save my life as funny as it sounds. Know what I mean ? Sounds like it. I hope you do well. Good luck.
My Dad was never over weight but died of a heart attack at age 64 - as both his parents and several brothers 😢 that was in 1974 - he grew up on a farm and worked hard all his life, was a dairy farmer sold it then had his own coal and fuel oil business - he had his 1st heart attack at the age of 60 and of course they put him on a low salt diet- he had normal blood pressure don't know about any other markers? I do know he was more of a worrier- according to my Mom- he also ate lotsa eggs and bacon ,pickled pigs feet and scrapple at times 😂 he did have desserts but not that often - he loved raison filled cookies which were a special treat- ! So I'm thinking more hereditary- both his parents were not over weight but died in 60's of heart disease 😢
Stop saying carbs like they are a bad thing. Your lumping everything in to one category. Tell the truth you where addicted to junk food. Not carbs. Your not going to get fat eating fruit and vegetables.
I'm sorry you lost your dad far too early. My dad smoked for many years and passed with lung cancer at 76. However, my mom passed two years ago at 97! So imagine my shock when I had a recent heart attack at 69! Trying to heal...testing process with cardiologist and a naturopath doctor. Cardiologist already started talking statins...even before bloodwork! Should be an interesting follow up session!
My doctor told me that my weight loss does increase the risk of weight related inflammation like heart disease and diabetes . I lost 46 pounds (202 to 156). She even doesn’t recommend cholesterol pills because my levels were normal. She is supportive of my “home cooking” high protein diet because it helps me feel fuller longer
Lily, thank you for having Dr. Weston on. I follow his page for diet. It’s simple, easy, and if I fall off a day is it back on. Helps me keep my way down and I feel great.
I'm keto and a major chocolate addict. I was eating a lot of sugarfree chocolate chips, enough that my digestion was terrible. I finally threw them out, but I still have cravings. Get it all out of your house, all of it. Do it now. I see too many people claiming they are low carb and hardly ever cheat, only once a week. Sorry. You have to go at least two weeks without a single bite of processed foods. You can do it. It's worth the effort.
I’m already a fan of yours, Lilly, and subscribed, AND been a long time watcher of Dr. West-man’s! This was the first time seeing him on your channel. A pleasant surprise! I love his simple information even if it seems to be the same info being retold on other channels. No need for new complicated “ground breaking” info to get clicks/views. I can keep hearing him repeat the same keto message forever and it keeps me on track during my health journey.
The effects on muscles from statins are very real. I had major bilateral knee pain to the point where I was unable to stand from a sitting position. I am in relatively good shape and never had any joint pain before my statin. I stopped the statin and was 80% better in a week and 100% better in 3 weeks. I’ll never take a statin again.
My husband had the same experience and he’s a very active and fit man. The doctor told him, without a lipid panel, that he would have to take the statin the rest of his life because he was diabetic. On the statin he was literally disabled and we didn’t know why for a few months. Stopping it ended the severe muscle and joint pain. His cholesterol is not high, in fact his lipid panel is beautiful. Thanks to low carb, he is no longer diabetic.
I had the same problem with a statin. Within a week for starting it a could barely walk without pain. My doctor told me I would get use to it I told her forget it and went off them.
Thank you for mentioning Dr. Westman that yes, we Chiropractors go through 4 years of Nutrition, among many other things (rigorous Neurology, Pathology and Radiology). We had world renowned Dr. Paul Goldberg of the Goldberg Clinic in Atlanta teaching us at Life University in Georgia. And I incorporate this everyday in practice. My MD friends are always asking me for advice about Nutrition. It's just not taught in Med School. That needs to change.
I’m happy my own doctor supports my decisions of not needing medication because I was already making changes naturally. I have genetic risk factors of diabetes and coronary heart disease. But nothing in my blood seems to be unusual. Not all doctors can do that. All this time I was fatter I was not eating meat or protein related foods, just sugary carbs and starches.
I agree, doctors are taught by the AMA and the AMA does not condone alternative medicines etc.... they are taught to administer Pharma medicines. Only when I started eating whole foods and using alternative medicines has my health improved. Yes, it's hard to get away from all the processed foods but it is well worth all the efforts to do so.
One of your best video's, thank you. I have been a fan of Dr. Westman for a few years now. And in my opinion he has one of the best you tube channels' on you tube.🥩🥚🥓🍗🍖🧀🍶
I agree with Almost everything he says, except using sugar substitutes to overcome sugar addiction. Speaking from experience the best way to overcome sugar addiction is to just quit having anything sweet... substitutes can be added later if they won't lead to a relapse.
I second this. Been carnivore for 9 months, and until I cut out diet soda etc my sugar cravings were ridiculous. Now it's black coffee, water, and intermittent fasting. Down 40 lbs, 2 pant sizes, and a size smaller in shirt. And feel like I'm a teen again "I'm a 36 yo male" libido through the roof, and have energy for days.
Sugar additives got me off sugar. I was never able to eat high cacoa chocolate. Now 90% cacao is fine. Not agreeing with something is OK but understand others can and will have different outcomes. Everyone should do what works for them.
I love Dr. Westman’s pragmatic approach. I too (as a retired engineer) am very much a pragmatist, not an ideologue. “If it works, it’s good.” ‘Nuff said. Mindless zealots have no place in my approach. And I’m very happy with my results.
I like Dr Westman, so much common sense with him. The fact that the idea of genetics and obesity even being a question just shows how little people pay attention to the immediate past let alone hundreds of years. The fact is you can watch countless programs including news programs from the 1980's and even more so from the 70's and before and very few obese individuals. And in the past people paid a dime at the carnival to see the " Fat Lady or Fat Man" they were so rare at the time, now they are everywhere, and genetics doesn't just change over night. It's all the consumption of hyper-palatable food that is the problem.
I enjoy listening to Dr westman. Especially with his background He's a great doctor to have in the space. I've actually seen him warm up more to Carnivore than maybe even a year ago.
I have always lived by everything in moderation philosophy therefore find it a little bit to much with The Carnivore diet and if I look back in Human development we sure have eating Berries and frut and nuts from Nature so Meat Can not be The only source(incl fish,Wild chickens) what I 100% agree with is it’s The proccessed food that is causing The problem I stay on a low carb diet instead of put all The Eggs in one basket😊 by The Way I am 64 and have no issue what so ever and never had 😊
I don’t know why, since I eat carnivore I am just restrictive in eating. Now I feel I don’t need much things, to buy, or to do. I feel comfortable with myself now. It feels like in my opinion as if eating carbs and food with less nutrition make me feel uncomfortable and felt always like there is something missing. Now I know it was nutrition.and I am much aware of my body and what I want to eat and need more.
someone should actually do a study to find out if that's true. we know that the saying about apples was lie but i think this one might actually be true
@Lillie, I have been watching your videos for a long time now. It amazes me how someone who does not have all the years of experience of a major doctor, but has helped so many people. The old folks used to say, “you cannot help someone unless you have been through something similar yourself” I believe this is what makes your platform so useful! You have been on both sides of the fence when it comes to eating vegan or carnivore. Once again, I am grateful for you. I am going to order the magnesium that you provided in the video. I would like to know do I really need to take magnesium with vitamin D3? Have been reading so many things about taking magnesium with vitamin D3 because it works better. But I am coming to someone’s channel that I feel is truthful. Any help is greatly appreciated!!! Blessings!
Has it caused you to have diohrea? Asking because i've had extremely bad diohrea shortly after taking magnesium glycinate and wonder if it was the cause.
I have Ketovore since January of this year and my BP has come down BUT my total cholesterol has gone Way up 295 😱😱😱although my triglycerides are low around 50 😮 not sure what’s going on but I have cut back on Fatty meat and butter And have added some oats for five mornings a week , I even had a scan of my heart done to see if I had clogged arteries and I had very minimal in one artery only and the Doctor Who reviewed it said it was normal for my age, my doctor wants me to go on statins I just outright said no
I'm 62 exercise regularly weight lift, have been eating a lower carb no sugar diet, but the past caught up with my heart. I have 3 arteries blocked and saying I need bypass surgery. Never can get my ldl low and my hdl above average. You would never pick me out of the crowd with CAD. I've had to hear you should be on a statin. I could use help and advice
Most of the time it’s nothing to do with your diet and more to do with high energy exertion such as HIIT, long distance running etc. Arteries around the heart receive the full force of each heart pump especially on/near bends. Like any hydraulic system cracks occur under pressure and we replace the leaking hose with a new hose. The body fills the cracks with cholesterol plaque to stop the leak and to save your life. Virtually all of the low-carb diets have a positive effect irrespective of meat or vegan based. Why can’t these experts show CT Angiogram photos of clogged arteries before treatment and the same showing the reversed plaque arteries after treatment. The photos will add credibility to their stories.
Gary Taubes wrote 20 years ago that cultures that eat their traditional diets don’t get heart disease till they start impoting sugar, flour, and seed oils.
I'm a chef, pastry chef, and chocolatier and I have taken more nutrition courses then 96% of doctors. I have self experimented w how my body reacts with my amount of movement lifestyle, alot of walking.. People say how am I not huge after they realize I make food taste great. I eat veg first before every meal or pickled veg or fermented veg or raw or sautéed in combo' medoly in 3 to 5 Oz per meal(small) It's all about incremental changes and to look at your 24 hr period and keep trying better the next day and next meal till it's in my subconscious to eat normal foods w out chems
The personal trainer Bob Harper had a heart attack a few years back and from my understanding he was on either a keto or full carnivore diet. After the heart attack, he supposedly switched to a Mediterranean diet. Does anyone have any thoughts about this?
During my doctor's appointments, I get a maximum of 8 minutes for any kind of discussion. There is no time to discuss anything relating to any symptoms.. it's all about how many pills can be taken for which symptom.
ALL chronic disease is a choice! I’ve been seeing so many videos lately about people complaining about the high cost of pharmaceutical drugs. Now, I’m not saying that drugs can’t be helpful sometimes and that the costs of drugs isn’t outrageous in the U.S., but drugs are not NEEDED in most situations. They are not something that is a given as we age. It is what you are putting in your mouth!
Doctors are pressured by their organizations to prescribe medications, especially statins, because of their relationships with the drug companies. I have seen this first hand in meetings that I have attended in the medical organization that I work for. It’s purely money driven healthcare.😢
Why no nuts, understand almonds have high oxalate and such there are low oxalate, nuts like walnuts, pecans pistachios macadamia, I believe please provide such information
I've listened to Dr. Westman videos for years, and in a different video where he was speaking at a conference, he feels that most people (not all) find it difficult to limit themselves to one serving of nuts, so he puts nuts on the "no" list, but he also said that if you can honestly limit yourself to one handful/serving, then nuts are okay. In looking for that video, I found he has one actually called "Stop Eating Nuts?" which is about 9 minutes, if you want to hear his reasoning. In my early 50s, I used to eat almonds with a banana for breakfast, and I literally counted out the 24 almonds that made up a serving, until I found a small container that held that amount, +/- one, because I was calorie counting. Tasted just like banana bread, to eat bites of them together.
Totally honest. Used to guzzle at least 2gal of caffeinated soda every day. Zero appetite. Broke my sugar addiction with alcohol. Tried to break my alcohol addiction with cigarettes. Cigarettes prevented me from breaking alcoholism. Prison cured everything
If you have a thyroid condition (like Hashimoto's like me) you do not want to do low carb, it tanks your metabolism and hormones, specifically your T3. Already been there and got the T shirt. By eating animal based, cutting out seed oils and all restaurant meals (since Dec 2023) I have had 3 medication reductions (300 mcg to 88 mcg of Levoxyl) since then. I eat an animal based diet of at least 100 carbs a day from fruit and honey. I never want to go back to what I was doing before.
@@leemanwrong Studies include many people, and the research also speculates why via published summaries as well. I would say that if you are not eating the crap that is causing the condition in the first place and you are still not seeing medication reductions (which was my experience) try adding 100g of carbs back in daily for 3 months then have your thyroid levels checked again. This was the key and as I said before I have had 3 medication reductions since then.
Good job Lillie. Well done. Dr. Eric Westman is knowledgable and I wish more and more MDs were like him (ie - INFORMED). I learned a lot from him. I wish my doctor was like him. (My doc: Cholesteral of 320 (total). Don't worry, the liver produces cholesterol. It's genetic. Nothing you can do about it. Just fill this prescription). Keep up the good work Lillie and Doc Westman. Continue spreading the truth!!!
Basically people should know by now that our main source of energy isn't glucose it's fatty acids. Fruits and Vegetables have phytotoxins which means they will cause major isssues for people with autoimmune problems and for those that don't have that is still harmful. Eggs and meat are the best food for human consumption mostly eggs because of all its whole complete amino acids profile. Carbs is equal to glucose we don't need fiber at all in fact we don't digest it. Learn about Biochemistry and you should be set for life in your nutrition 🤓
@@zacharyshort384 Fiber advocated in a healthy diet that's what I'm talking about . So please enlighten me why is it that way for fiber to be in a" healthy diet"?
This is wonderful.....................but we all need to be aware of the toxicity of oxalates as well and watch what 'good carbs' we eat! Chaffles are awesome - almonds are full of oxalates and no need for that in chaffles.
Well I'm 63 years old.And me and my dog walk up the biggest culm bank and up steps I call heart attack steps.I try to walk 1to 5 miles a day.Thano God Bless could do it.I never smoked or drank either .My triggs and cholesterol were sky high.My doctor said u need meds .It's herritary so I started walking more eating cleaner.And I got them back to normal.I don't do any of that keto junk.I started eating nuts drinking sparkling water teas and water .I take salmon oil krill oil flaxseed oil.Evening primrose.I eat Cale in my salad with olive oil and a pickle wedge.More salmon .I use tumeric on my salad .Sea salt.And some soup broth.
@@Cervin_Suisse It is it's a bunch of nonsense.We,re supposed to eat from the 4 basic food groups to be healthy.In the bible God says food doesn't matter.He says not to eat like a glutton.Society has a glutton problem.U all are gluttons for sex,drink,drugs ,food , money ,beauty I could go on and on.
I have read many books, I listened to many UA-cam videos by many of the world's leading gurus and health experts but nothing came close to “the hidden herbs” by anette ray. I recommend everyone giving it a read.
@@leemanwrongExcellent point! Instead of low salt, they should suggest increased potassium and magnesium. Instead of low fat, they should suggest low seed oils and low fat from animals fed seeds (seed oils) and increase healthy fats from grass fed ruminants, pasture raised animals, wild caught seafood, and fruit oils. Instead of high carb, they should suggest lower carb and limited whole food carbs. Fruits in season. Fermented foods.
i enjoy the vids so thank you for that, however i do feel there is way to much stuff that you guys use while on this diet, i could see how many will be put off as it looks like yu are only in it to sell sell sell. just my honest opinion. my health has improved greatly so i know it works but others might see you a different way.
Honestly so tired of this carb fearing narrative. Just as i was tired of all the red meat fearing. There isnt anything wrong with any of these whole food categories. Just stop eating junk food and move alot its easy. Way to many extremist. What ever happened to balance ?
I don't know....pride comes before the fall. It's not fear mongering recognizing a truth. There is no actual need for carbs, that is why it's best to really limit them. It's not about fear, it's about truth and wisdom.
@@BriarRoseA to survive no you don't need carbs, but who wants to just survive. But to thrive ? Yes glucose is what the brain craves and uses better then anything else there is tons of research showing the premium effect of glucose on your brain . Carbs for muscle recovery and for energy activity. Is way better utilized than fat. Why does every pro athlete ever eat carbs ? They are the fittest most in shape healthiest people on earth. You think carbs are hurting them ? Now if you lead a sedentary lifestyle and you don't move alot and don't lift weights and don't exercise then sure carbs won't do much for you other than help your brain work better. But if you move a lot and do resistance training like everyone absolutely should using carbs as a tool will help you so much more than just eating fat.
@@fallguy6196 Have you ever listened to Dr. Chaffee talk about his rugby career on strict Carnivore? He was a beast on the field and performed way better that way than when he included carbs. He has interviewed other serious athletes who have done the same.
Hey doc....how about you get a better explanation together....you seem like a smart guy. She asked a good question. Saying it was the wrong questions and changing the question didn't help anyone. You're all over the damn place. I can't even watch all of this.
It is too bad that Dr. Westman does not look that healthy, maybe because of not paying attention to the nature and the quality of the food, i.e., just focusing on ketosis/metabolism. To function the best ketogenic metabolism we need to have good cells, mitochondria, tissues, organs... built from best quality sources. But he mostly ignores this part and does not apply nature's principles in 'his studies'. Also, he never posts videos on his original studies/publications--too much criticism of other people without any of his original studies and evidence... He always says there is no evidence to other people, but he does not have evidence either... So I think he is so behind in science. I always tell him to post his original studies instead of just debunking other people's posts without any good evidence. We want new, original information from good scientists. 😓
Nasty thumbnail, blame the victim. Whether its a CHOICE depends very much on how old you are (vs when a better message became available), and your intellectual and educational resources.
Lifestyle is the biggest factor in health and same way we can reverse those issues. We harm ourselves and we can heal ourselves if we’re not too far gone.

Always great Lillie. Dr.Wesman is so easy to understand and you asked the right questions. 👍🏼👍🏼

the bad seed oils....that should be at the top of the list to avoid and removed from foods.
I’ve heard it said that food is medicine bad food needs medicine.
This is a great conversation. Thanks!
DR, Westman is the man!
Nice work Lillie. Keep it up!

May I ask why you say you have genetic risk to get diabetes ? Who told you that and based on what ?
Thank you for the great information Lillie! I love you content. You are a beautiful soul.❤

One of your best video's, thank you. I have been a fan of Dr. Westman for a few years now. And in my opinion he has one of the best you tube channels' on you tube.🥩🥚🥓🍗🍖🧀🍶
He was a pleasure to speak with. You can tell he genuinely wants to help people...and help them for the long haul!
@@LillieKane That is what I like about your channel as well, thank you!🥩🥚🥓🍗🍖🧀🍶
I agree with Almost everything he says, except using sugar substitutes to overcome sugar addiction. Speaking from experience the best way to overcome sugar addiction is to just quit having anything sweet... substitutes can be added later if they won't lead to a relapse.
I second this. Been carnivore for 9 months, and until I cut out diet soda etc my sugar cravings were ridiculous. Now it's black coffee, water, and intermittent fasting. Down 40 lbs, 2 pant sizes, and a size smaller in shirt. And feel like I'm a teen again "I'm a 36 yo male" libido through the roof, and have energy for days.
Sugar additives got me off sugar. I was never able to eat high cacoa chocolate. Now 90% cacao is fine. Not agreeing with something is OK but understand others can and will have different outcomes. Everyone should do what works for them.
@@YamatoForever same for me. I no longer crave sugary things. But, I still enjoy a Coke Zero and coffee with Splenda.
@@RBzee112try pure organic stevia w/ no additives.
I agree, it would be like alcoholics trying to break the habit with alcohol free alcohol tasting drinks 😊
Listening carefully before I go shopping.
I love Dr. Westman’s pragmatic approach. I too (as a retired engineer) am very much a pragmatist, not an ideologue. “If it works, it’s good.” ‘Nuff said. Mindless zealots have no place in my approach. And I’m very happy with my results.
I love chaffles! With a bit of added ham or chicken even better! No need for almond flour.
Hi Lillie, beautiful hair color ❤. Good choice to do a video with Dr. Eric Westman
Nice one Lilly Dr Westman is very commonsensical a decent man your looking great yourself 👍☘️
When I take magnesium my leg cramps go away and I sleep better..
That's the reason I take Magnesium every night.
Same here!
I took it for another reason and ended up getting rid of my terrible leg and foot cramping issue! Like a miracle!
I like Dr Westman, so much common sense with him. The fact that the idea of genetics and obesity even being a question just shows how little people pay attention to the immediate past let alone hundreds of years. The fact is you can watch countless programs including news programs from the 1980's and even more so from the 70's and before and very few obese individuals. And in the past people paid a dime at the carnival to see the " Fat Lady or Fat Man" they were so rare at the time, now they are everywhere, and genetics doesn't just change over night. It's all the consumption of hyper-palatable food that is the problem.
Good morning SUNSHINE, thanks for the information!!😊😊
Thanks for all your positive messages 😁
I enjoy listening to Dr westman. Especially with his background He's a great doctor to have in the space. I've actually seen him warm up more to Carnivore than maybe even a year ago.
I have always lived by everything in moderation philosophy therefore find it a little bit to much with The Carnivore diet and if I look back in Human development we sure have eating Berries and frut and nuts from Nature so Meat Can not be The only source(incl fish,Wild chickens) what I 100% agree with is it’s The proccessed food that is causing The problem I stay on a low carb diet instead of put all The Eggs in one basket😊 by The Way I am 64 and have no issue what so ever and never had 😊
LMFAO WHO BEAT YOU STUPID WITH A STICK ? DOES IT HURT ?
I loved the "fish bowl" analogy. Clean the dirty bowl rather than medicate the fish!
Thanks Lillie, Love Dr Westman.
Have a beautiful day!

I don’t know why, since I eat carnivore I am just restrictive in eating. Now I feel I don’t need much things, to buy, or to do. I feel comfortable with myself now. It feels like in my opinion as if eating carbs and food with less nutrition make me feel uncomfortable and felt always like there is something missing. Now I know it was nutrition.and I am much aware of my body and what I want to eat and need more.
Food prescription!!! I love that. A steak a day keeps the doctor away.
Heck yes! 🙌🏼
It's way better than an apple a day. That is no better than scooping sugar mixed with fiber in your mouth. Eat the meat, heal the humans!

Good Job Lillie all around
@Lillie, I have been watching your videos for a long time now. It amazes me how someone who does not have all the years of experience of a major doctor, but has helped so many people.
The old folks used to say, “you cannot help someone unless you have been through something similar yourself” I believe this is what makes your platform so useful!
You have been on both sides of the fence when it comes to eating vegan or carnivore. Once again, I am grateful for you. I am going to order the magnesium that you provided in the video. I would like to know do I really need to take magnesium with vitamin D3?
Have been reading so many things about taking magnesium with vitamin D3 because it works better. But I am coming to someone’s channel that I feel is truthful. Any help is greatly appreciated!!!
Blessings!

I have Ketovore since January of this year and my BP has come down BUT my total cholesterol has gone Way up 295 😱😱😱although my triglycerides are low around 50 😮 not sure what’s going on but I have cut back on Fatty meat and butter And have added some oats for five mornings a week , I even had a scan of my heart done to see if I had clogged arteries and I had very minimal in one artery only and the Doctor Who reviewed it said it was normal for my age, my doctor wants me to go on statins I just outright said no
Isn't obesity more of a symptom of the underlying condition than a disease in its own right?
Just like cancer is a symptom and not a disease
lifestyle only?? what about those of us with high Lp(a) via our genes?
I'm 62 exercise regularly weight lift, have been eating a lower carb no sugar diet, but the past caught up with my heart. I have 3 arteries blocked and saying I need bypass surgery. Never can get my ldl low and my hdl above average. You would never pick me out of the crowd with CAD. I've had to hear you should be on a statin. I could use help and advice
What past is catching up, please elaborate?
Most of the time it’s nothing to do with your diet and more to do with high energy exertion such as HIIT, long distance running etc. Arteries around the heart receive the full force of each heart pump especially on/near bends. Like any hydraulic system cracks occur under pressure and we replace the leaking hose with a new hose. The body fills the cracks with cholesterol plaque to stop the leak and to save your life. Virtually all of the low-carb diets have a positive effect irrespective of meat or vegan based. Why can’t these experts show CT Angiogram photos of clogged arteries before treatment and the same showing the reversed plaque arteries after treatment. The photos will add credibility to their stories.
Gary Taubes wrote 20 years ago that cultures that eat their traditional diets don’t get heart disease till they start impoting sugar, flour, and seed oils.
Common sense tells me…just don’t overeat!

The personal trainer Bob Harper had a heart attack a few years back and from my understanding he was on either a keto or full carnivore diet. After the heart attack, he supposedly switched to a Mediterranean diet. Does anyone have any thoughts about this?

How much longer until we just have medicine that can clean the arteries themselves. So I can go back to eating pizza one day😂

During my doctor's appointments, I get a maximum of 8 minutes for any kind of discussion. There is no time to discuss anything relating to any symptoms.. it's all about how many pills can be taken for which symptom.

ALL chronic disease is a choice! I’ve been seeing so many videos lately about people complaining about the high cost of pharmaceutical drugs. Now, I’m not saying that drugs can’t be helpful sometimes and that the costs of drugs isn’t outrageous in the U.S., but drugs are not NEEDED in most situations. They are not something that is a given as we age. It is what you are putting in your mouth!
Doctors are pressured by their organizations to prescribe medications, especially statins, because of their relationships with the drug companies. I have seen this first hand in meetings that I have attended in the medical organization that I work for. It’s purely money driven healthcare.😢
Why no nuts, understand almonds have high oxalate and such there are low oxalate, nuts like walnuts, pecans pistachios macadamia, I believe please provide such information
I've listened to Dr. Westman videos for years, and in a different video where he was speaking at a conference, he feels that most people (not all) find it difficult to limit themselves to one serving of nuts, so he puts nuts on the "no" list, but he also said that if you can honestly limit yourself to one handful/serving, then nuts are okay. In looking for that video, I found he has one actually called "Stop Eating Nuts?" which is about 9 minutes, if you want to hear his reasoning. In my early 50s, I used to eat almonds with a banana for breakfast, and I literally counted out the 24 almonds that made up a serving, until I found a small container that held that amount, +/- one, because I was calorie counting. Tasted just like banana bread, to eat bites of them together.
Totally honest. Used to guzzle at least 2gal of caffeinated soda every day. Zero appetite. Broke my sugar addiction with alcohol. Tried to break my alcohol addiction with cigarettes. Cigarettes prevented me from breaking alcoholism. Prison cured everything

If you have a thyroid condition (like Hashimoto's like me) you do not want to do low carb, it tanks your metabolism and hormones, specifically your T3. Already been there and got the T shirt. By eating animal based, cutting out seed oils and all restaurant meals (since Dec 2023) I have had 3 medication reductions (300 mcg to 88 mcg of Levoxyl) since then. I eat an animal based diet of at least 100 carbs a day from fruit and honey. I never want to go back to what I was doing before.
There are many anecdotes of people fixing Hashimotos on a low carb diet.
@@leemanwrong Studies include many people, and the research also speculates why via published summaries as well. I would say that if you are not eating the crap that is causing the condition in the first place and you are still not seeing medication reductions (which was my experience) try adding 100g of carbs back in daily for 3 months then have your thyroid levels checked again. This was the key and as I said before I have had 3 medication reductions since then.
I want to see a debate between him and Dr Mohammad Alo.
Good job Lillie. Well done. Dr. Eric Westman is knowledgable and I wish more and more MDs were like him (ie - INFORMED). I learned a lot from him. I wish my doctor was like him. (My doc: Cholesteral of 320 (total). Don't worry, the liver produces cholesterol. It's genetic. Nothing you can do about it. Just fill this prescription). Keep up the good work Lillie and Doc Westman. Continue spreading the truth!!!
What about Lp(a). Its t that genetics?

Basically people should know by now that our main source of energy isn't glucose it's fatty acids. Fruits and Vegetables have phytotoxins which means they will cause major isssues for people with autoimmune problems and for those that don't have that is still harmful. Eggs and meat are the best food for human consumption mostly eggs because of all its whole complete amino acids profile. Carbs is equal to glucose we don't need fiber at all in fact we don't digest it. Learn about Biochemistry and you should be set for life in your nutrition 🤓
Being able to digest fiber is not the reason fiber is advocated in a healthy diet ;)
You claim to know about chemistry but obviously not about biology based on what you say about fingers 😅

Should prescribing statins and not discussing nutrition to treat heart disease be considered malpractice?
Why would it be? What doctor is only prescribing statins and not also discussing nutrition?
@@WealthyIndustrialist What’s healthier? Vegetable oil or Butter
@@tomunderwood4283 Olive oil
Doctors do discuss diet when they prescribe statins unfortunately they push the high carb, low fat, low salt approach.
@@leemanwrongExcellent point!
Instead of low salt, they should suggest increased potassium and magnesium.
Instead of low fat, they should suggest low seed oils and low fat from animals fed seeds (seed oils) and increase healthy fats from grass fed ruminants, pasture raised animals, wild caught seafood, and fruit oils.
Instead of high carb, they should suggest lower carb and limited whole food carbs. Fruits in season. Fermented foods.

i enjoy the vids so thank you for that, however i do feel there is way to much stuff that you guys use while on this diet, i could see how many will be put off as it looks like yu are only in it to sell sell sell. just my honest opinion. my health has improved greatly so i know it works but others might see you a different way.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Honestly so tired of this carb fearing narrative. Just as i was tired of all the red meat fearing. There isnt anything wrong with any of these whole food categories. Just stop eating junk food and move alot its easy. Way to many extremist. What ever happened to balance ?
I don't know....pride comes before the fall. It's not fear mongering recognizing a truth. There is no actual need for carbs, that is why it's best to really limit them. It's not about fear, it's about truth and wisdom.
@@BriarRoseA to survive no you don't need carbs, but who wants to just survive. But to thrive ? Yes glucose is what the brain craves and uses better then anything else there is tons of research showing the premium effect of glucose on your brain . Carbs for muscle recovery and for energy activity. Is way better utilized than fat. Why does every pro athlete ever eat carbs ? They are the fittest most in shape healthiest people on earth. You think carbs are hurting them ? Now if you lead a sedentary lifestyle and you don't move alot and don't lift weights and don't exercise then sure carbs won't do much for you other than help your brain work better. But if you move a lot and do resistance training like everyone absolutely should using carbs as a tool will help you so much more than just eating fat.
@@BriarRoseA and I'm not talking about cookies and pastry and cake and shit. I'm talking actual whole food carb sources.
@@BriarRoseA unless you have some serious medical condition it isn't "best" to limit any whole food group
@@fallguy6196 Have you ever listened to Dr. Chaffee talk about his rugby career on strict Carnivore? He was a beast on the field and performed way better that way than when he included carbs. He has interviewed other serious athletes who have done the same.
Hey doc....how about you get a better explanation together....you seem like a smart guy. She asked a good question. Saying it was the wrong questions and changing the question didn't help anyone. You're all over the damn place. I can't even watch all of this.
It is too bad that Dr. Westman does not look that healthy, maybe because of not paying attention to the nature and the quality of the food, i.e., just focusing on ketosis/metabolism. To function the best ketogenic metabolism we need to have good cells, mitochondria, tissues, organs... built from best quality sources. But he mostly ignores this part and does not apply nature's principles in 'his studies'. Also, he never posts videos on his original studies/publications--too much criticism of other people without any of his original studies and evidence... He always says there is no evidence to other people, but he does not have evidence either... So I think he is so behind in science. I always tell him to post his original studies instead of just debunking other people's posts without any good evidence. We want new, original information from good scientists. 😓
He’s looks healthy to me….
He’s 65 years old. He looks excellent for his age
To be honest. He looks(and sounds) like he's had a stroke and half of his face is covered in some sort of lesions.
Nasty thumbnail, blame the victim. Whether its a CHOICE depends very much on how old you are (vs when a better message became available), and your intellectual and educational resources.
He isnt credible to me. Yes he has some points i noticed other flaws over the years that his dogmatic low carb stance cant explain
This guy is tyically wrong, protecting his job ... How about those oxaltes doc !
Lifestyle is the biggest factor in health and same way we can reverse those issues.
We harm ourselves and we can heal ourselves if we’re not too far gone.
