Praying on people that are tired of the mainstream dogma and are looking for alternatives. There is no shortage of people looking to take advantage of that will false alternatives. If is sounds dogmatic like, just don't eat animal foods (of course that's BS), or just don't eat plants (yes, veggies have toxins but fruits and their juice is very important), or just don't eat a whole macro-nutrient like sugar (pure propaganda), or any number of dogmatic "diets", you should be be more questioning. If you want an approach based on principals of biological energy and proper cellular metabolism look up Ray Peat PhD, Georgi Dinkov, Danny Roddy, etc.

      @@billytheweasel In his 1957 book, "The Living State with Observations on Cancer," Albert Szent-Györgyi said that a cell needs energy for all its functions, including maintaining its structure. The cell's ability to maintain this high-energy, relaxed state relies on the availability of glucose and oxygen. Because protein, carbohydrate, and fat can provide glucose, oxygen iis the ultimate bottleneck in efficient energy generation through the mitochondria, also known as oxidative metabolism or mitochondrial respiration (or oxidative phosphorylation).
      Carbon dioxide, often considered a waste product, is another crucial element in this process. It's produced under the direction of good thyroid function and helps dissociate oxygen from the hemoglobin molecule, allowing cells, tissues, and organs to absorb oxygen more effectively. Therefore, carbon dioxide plays a critical role in facilitating oxygen delivery. Essentially, glucose, oxygen, and carbon dioxide are fundamental anti-stress factors, and interfering with their utilization or generation is not advisable.
      Now, let's talk about one reason why ketosis mimics the stress metabolism. If there's one key takeaway from this video, it's that becoming a "fat burner" or increasing lipolysis through voluntary carbohydrate restriction is a hallmark of aging and disease. For instance, one study found that "free fatty acid levels increase long before hyperglycemia becomes present." Another study stated that "there seems to be little doubt that there are signals for increased mobilization of fat in shock, trauma, and sepsis," and one more quote: "the enhanced mobilization and oxidation of fat is one of the fundamental responses to stress."
      The mechanism involves an initial short-term increase in adrenaline, squeezing glycogen out of the liver, and liberating free fatty acids into the blood. However, over the long term, cortisol and various other hormones, especially from the pituitary gland, increase the rate of lipolysis. This slows metabolism and brings the organism's renewal process to a halt.
      Another way ketosis mimics stress metabolism is by producing less carbon dioxide, primarily due to the oxidation of free fatty acids, which provides far less carbon dioxide than glucose oxidation. Apart from being a basic anti-stress factor, carbon dioxide is also a critical cofactor for the assimilation of fat-soluble vitamins.
      Lastly, ketosis can be considered a hibernation-like state for humans. You can measure the impact of carbohydrate restriction or ketosis on your metabolic rate using self-diagnostics like resting pulse rate and body temperature. Measuring these a few times a day can provide insights into the rhythmic changes of metabolism. In extreme stress situations, the pulse rate can barely be felt, and low body temperature has been associated with various health problems.

We have a close family member that drinks every day SSBs'. She has metastatic colorectal cancer and I remember Rick talking about fructose fermenting too far in the colon, further than it should, thus possibly being a contributor to abnormal cell respiration and growth. Robert Lustig says that when PI3K+, AMPK-, mTOR+ are expressed together = growth. In the case of chronic insulin resistance this spells cancer. She does not listen and her doctor does not know. I see this happening even in those who are younger than myself i.e 55y.

    Regarding how kidney inflammation (and salt sensitivity) goes up with age , and causes high blood pressure, and therefore it's important to keep blood pressure between 120/80 - 140/90 , low uric acid levels (< 5 mg/dl?), and GFR high (ex. 107 for a 40 year old).. how important is the albumin to Creatinine ratio? i.e. normal eGFR but microalbuminuria of 30?
    Regarding how some glucose can metabolize fructose to glycogen, but the real enzyme responsible is Fructokinase... and those born without this enzyme don't seem to get T2D... how does that compare with hereditary fructose intolerance?
    Regarding how a high carb/glycemic -> liver glucose + salt -> Aldose reductase -> sorbitol -> fructose -> fructokinaise (stimulated by uric acid)... and that ~5g can be metabolized in the gut, the rest goes to the liver.. it would be interesting to see if lowering uric-acid via Alpuerenol lowers the amount of fructose metabolism that occurs.
    Any thoughts on Robert Lustig's work that suggests fructose causes cellular energy ATP to go down the AMPD pathway (rather than AMPK), and that it can fuel tumors by knocks out the APC gene (via Fructokinase , lowering atp, AGES etc).. and how insulin resistance in the liver (only one insulin receptor) disrupts the FOXO phosphorylation pathway but not always the SREBP-1c pathway.

He talks off the top of his head like he's reading a textbook, all with a happy attitude like he's talking about picking apples on a beautiful fall day. Meanwhile, Peter sits there with a scowl on his face looking to poke holes. Dr. Johnson had brilliant answers for all Peters side tracks, but it would have been better if Peter challenged less and let this brilliant doctor talk more freely about what he has learned. I know its just Peter's style and he means no harm, but jeez, scowl scowl scowl, chill dude. A Type A++ guy like Peter could die young despite all his exercise and nutrition knowledge.

      Do you have thyroid disease? T3 and T4 will go down on keto but it works better so you need less if you lose weight. Thyroid is very closely related to metabolism, triglycerides and ldl. How do you feel? If crappy then stop the keto diet. I feel good on it.
      One of the first things i noticed when my thyroid went bad was rising ldl and triglycerides. I have trouble with insulin now too. Hence i do keto.

    I have to admit as a layperson who cares about health and diet, it is frustrating to listen to doctors disagree about what we should be eating. I read Dr. Gregor’s book How Not To Die and the only sweetener he green-lighted was whole dates ground up (fiber mitigating the sugar spike). But at 1:34 of this talk, dates are said to be bad… and sports drinks are “ok.”

    I'm almost halfway through this. How does a malfunctioning gallbladder come into play? My husband has been carnivore for four years, started at 330 lbs and initially began because of what we thought was Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome. It helped him lose 80 lbs and reverse his prediabetes (A1C went from 6.4 to 5.1) but didn't help with the CVS. He started amitriptyline which didn't help and made him gain back 30 lbs. Now he can't lose weight (been off ami for almost 3 years now). Got a HIDA scan, and his gallbladder has 11% EF (and that was a good day when he wasn't feeling sick) and was diagnosed with biliary dyskinesia (so not CVS). U/S shows severe fatty liver as well (and liver enzyme tests slightly elevated). He is a metabolic (and digestive) mess. Canadian healthcare is slow, and we may be waiting quite some time for him to get his gallbladder removed. So how exactly does gallbladder play a role here? Would that be the reason he is "stuck" in his weight and has severe fatty liver? He did eat very unhealthy since childhood (juice, ramen noodles, cereal, all the terrible stuff), and had undiagnosed Celiac Disease (been gluten free for the last 8 years), as well as used PPIs (rabeprazole) from 2005-2015.
