Excellent explanation However
Can someone or Dr. Brewer explain to me what is the way to check if I have insulin resistance if I am on a keto diet?... glucose tolerance test then probably makes no sense and is unreliable. I don't want to come off keto because then it's hard to come back. .... but my glucose is almost 100 ....isuline 5 to 7
If you plan to remain keto, you might not want to test. But the only reliable way to test is a glucose challenge. Get a fasting glucose. Then take 75 or 100 gm glucose. Test again at 60 & 120 minutes. The Kraft Insulin Surevy protocol uses 100 gm glucose. It tests at fasting, 30,60,120, & 180 minutes. It also includes insulin at each glucose test. It is definitive. You miss about 20% of insulin resistance if you don’t test for insulin.
@@PrevMedHealth thanks very much
Research what an HOMA-IR score is. It is meant to determine how insulin resistant you are.
@stevensevek6151 thanks
What's the proper score of Homa ir in your opinion?
@@barbarapecka4935 What’s unreliable about the glucose tolerance test?
I have watching countless videos explaining HDL, LDL, triglycerides, etc. None of them made sense, until now. This video finally connected all of the dots and provided a complete picture on the topic. Thanks so much for making this video!
5 times!! I’ve watched the diagram around minute 5 over and over again, slowed it down to 75% speed just so I can process this. I’m even taking notes. Please share this with your loved ones. This is the BEST explanation I’ve ever seen. Thank you Dr. Brewer!!!
Doc Ford I have watched a lot of your presentations for over a year or so. This is the BEST presentation that covers Cholesterol and Insulin resistance I have seen yet. Thanks!
Thank you very much!
Dr Brewer, you really went 'all-out" with this video. It has to be the most detailed, yet easily understood, explanation of insulin resistance, pre-diabetes and cholesterol physiology I have seen packed into just shy of 42 minutes. I will recommend this to my physician colleagues. It is a perfect 'primer' toward understanding metabolic disease.
I woke up this morning and did 300 situps, 40 pushups, walked around the block, ate 4 grass fed eggs, two strips of bacon and a fresh tomato from the garden. I learned about Carnivore almost a year ago and find it very easy to stick with. The thought of eating cereal or bread doesn't even cross my mind. I'll be 60 YO in December, 2024!
Situps are useless, it's the fat
Better than Bodyweight exercise
Subscribe to a gym
Do heavy bodybuilding, build muscles
Have an athletic muscular body
Thanks for sharing. Carnivore is an incredibly easy way to go low carb.
@@PrevMedHealthpeople get upset when someone has like a tomato, or some coffee, or blueberries but my cats are obligate carnivores they eat grass, and what happens to the organ meats when a wolf eats a bunny? They get undigested plant matter in theirs.
I wish more people that talked about carnivore or ketovore had these ideas. 20 years ago what I called carnivore/ketovore, was a "Nomad Diet" you eat meat and if you come across some veggies or an occasional fruit you ate some and when stuff wasn't in season you didn't.
Wish I had eaten like that back then rather than follow the standard advice and got from 220 to 370lbs and now back to 220 after keto made the lbs slip away and I can do push-ups for the first time in my life despite going to the gym as a 220lb 20 year old. Now I'm a 220 lb 40 year old that can do pushups.
👍
@@PrevMedHealthI have kidney disease and am told to lower my protein intake. I tried the carnivore but had trouble not eating meat, yet getting enough calories….what is the answer?
This is one of your BEST videos to date. I would opine that it puts most cardiologists and lipidologists to shame when it comes to educating patients.
About a year ago, I showed my cardiologist a picture of a box of "Heart Healthy" Cheerios. He just smiled at me and said he really did not have an opinion about that "Heart Healthy" labeling!
Thanks You!
Dear Doctor Brewer you are so much different than the rest of the other doctors and just fantastic.❤
Thank you very much!
I'm so grateful for finding your podcasts! As a Registered Nurse I have taken care of very sick patients, but I have turned my attention to lifestyle medicine with correcting metabolic syndrome. I love teaching this vital and lifesaving message. Thank you, Dr. Brewer.❤
Thank you DFB and team for freely releasing content like this! This one in particular is an excellent resource of information to help prolong life for anyone like me who has been unknowingly a prediabetic with insulin resistance.
Dr. Brewer, you are a healer. The information you provide is the best. I look forward to any future videos, particularly related to cholesterol numbers and edema.
I'm 71, haven't been healthier in a couple of decades, am probably slightly underweight (for the first time), have a reasonable blood pressure, and my overall cholesterol is ... 300(!) I've been on statins for about five days, but...I'm going to go OFF of them, thanks to MANY doctors (including YOU) letting me know that the Lipid Panel used today seems...obsolete. I WILL likely get an apoB evaluation, or a more detailed study of my LDLs. I use ghee, cold-pressed sesame oil (NO other seed oils), MCTs in my coffee (1or2 per day) and a high grade olive oil. Very LITTLE sugar! I really learned a lot from this presentation. THANKS!
Thank you for all you do to educate the general population! I just wish more people would subscribe to your channel to learn the truth about health optimization. I share your videos with all my friends and relatives. Keep up the good work. You need to be the surgeon generalof the US
Best Video on metabolic issues I have seen so far! Thanks doc!
Well Doc. Ford, your Geek Talk is easy to understand. Others not so much. Few days ago I watched an University Prof. of the sciences being interviewed by Rogan. Rogan asked a simple question and this Prof. went on and on and on going around in circles and he ever did answer the question. I posted a comment that this Prof. did not know what he was talking about, plus I answered the question in short order and my comment got highlighted with a thumbs up and perhaps 3 replies agreeing with me, so Geek away anytime
Thank you very much! I can’t tell you how much of a challenge it is- & how much work we put into it!!😅
@@PrevMedHealth 👍 - 👍
@@PrevMedHealthwe appreciate all the work, time and effort. All of these are expensive commodities. They are costly and we appreciate you. ❤❤From Sunny South Africa
The carbohydrates specially Fructose produce a serie of conditions: Obesity non alcoholic fat liver disease , insulin resistance , type 2 diabetes, hypertension dyslipidemia and some cancers. Cholesterol is part of cellular structures and hormones. So you are right doctor.
A much deeper dive into cardio help than the title suggests! Enjoyed learning more.
I thought I was very knowledgeable in terms of metabolic disease and lipid abnormalities. I was wrong. Thank you for expanding my horizons and motivating me to further alter my lifestyle.
Thank you for sharing this Dr. Brewer. Great work 👍
Thanks!
What is keto diet. My blood pressure is 130/90. I am 52 years old. I am following your channel just now
Thank you for taking your time to really help people Doc. Five years ago I woke up at 3am with PMR. Six months later I started a keto life style. Today I played tennis for 2+ hours in hot and humid Florida, then went to a diner and had 3 scrambled eggs with 5 slices of bacon just like I eat every day. Sometimes 6-7 slices. I'm 78 and feel better than I did when I was 50. My PCP sends me to everyone he can think of for further testing. My numbers are pretty dang good-- better than his, I bet.
Thank you for sharing that!
Good morning everyone. I thank you for the great information you are putting out there.
Thank You for watching!
💯👌 ~ Yet another excellent teaching video. Doc Ford must do a lot of research !
Thank you very much!
Thank you so much for your great work, lessons ❤
Thank you for being a Dr whom finnaly is telling everyone the truth
Excellent vidio.thanks to you Doct.for detail explanation on Metabolic syndrome and all about Lipids and Statins and Insulin resistance. Love you .
This is one of many videos ive watched of you So when you gave out that PH # I immediately called and made my wife and I Appointments!! Make America Healthy Again! Thanks so much Doc
this is definitely one of the best video Ive come across!
Wow, thanks!

Wow, excellent video - you are talking the talk and walking the walk - thank you Dr. Brewer. I am hopeful the slow release Niacin will bring down my Lpa
Thanks!
Thank You SO much!
Great recap of all that matters in cardiovascular health ! Folks,I am a patient of Dr Brewer and his team and although it is not cheap,what is more important to spend your money on than NOT dying young of a stroke or heart attack ?? 🤔
Just wish I could afford it.I'm not happy with any doctors
Sensational!!!!!!!!!! I would like to know if you could do another video about plaques and cholesterol and show the scientific paper for it and the exams to discover metabolic diseases. Thanks for all.
Best summary ever! Thank you!
Thank You!
Good information, you don’t have to starve yourself to be healthy, you just have to eat food with nutrition!!! Carbohydrates don’t have Nutrition !!! Carbohydrates are just glucose, fuel to your body but not nutrition!!! Eggs, protein, healthy fats, vitamins and minerals are nutrition to your body! Food with nutrition are simple whole food that you cannot overeat!! How many eggs can you eat? How much meant can you at one serving ?
Excelente, thank you vey mucho for sharing this information 🙏
Me gusta estar bien informada! Gracias doctor😊
Thank you very much for the information!!!!!!
Amo assistir seus vídeos. Aprendo muito. Gostaria q fizesse um vídeo sobre o iogurte caseiro com 2 ingredientes. Se ajuda na imunidade, se quem tem placa deve evitar… antecipadamente muito obrigada pelas inúmeras informações. Beijo no coração.
I love your detailed educational videos. Yes . Can you talk more about Steel Cut Oats and the impact it has on our health.
Thanks so much Doc!!!!
Thanks for sharing, Dr. Brewer. You're a wealth of information. I'm postmenopausal; recently turned 57. Two years ago, my functional med doc ordered a non-fasting lipid panel. My LDL-C was 191. My HDL-C A 92, and my Triglycerides A 46. Since the latter 2 are "good", my doc did no treatment. Fast forward about 3 months ago, I go to a cardiologist just to check in on things (and preventative measures). He ordered a calcium score test and said if it looks good, he won't prescribe a statin. Well, my score is 176, so a big red flag for them to prescribe a statin. I asked for a current blood panel. No orders to fast or not to fast; if it was a complete panel, or just ldl/hdl/trigylcerides, so I waited to talk to the APNP, last week, before taking the statin. Scary for me to just take 20mg of a statin. What statin? I had a lot of questions. I knew from watching a video of yours that you took Crestor (and with my own research), I felt more comfortable taking it, but still didn't want to. Well, from the fear of the plaque, plus her telling me that I have coronary artery disease and that I had to get my cholesterol down, asap, or I could have a heart attack, scared me into taking the statin (2-days in). There is paternal heart disease in my family. My dad passed at 56 from it. He was also a heavy smoker. I am healthy overall. I am 5'9" tall; weigh 107; my weight is too low at this point (went on a plant-based diet). I don't smoke. I'm fairly active, but could be more as time & my energy returns. I don't want to be on a statin for the rest of my life. I am a big believer in naturalpathic medicine; life style and wholistic healing. What do you think about Curcumin? Curamed brand?
•~• Have you considered using niacin ? Even a low dose ( 500 mg. ) can help.
@@jamescalifornia2964, yes, but it caused flushing. I do take a Bcomplex that has niacin in it.
@@LaKayDailey ~ I use SloNiacin. Sustained release, no flushing. I sometimes also take small doses several times a day. 👌
Have you tried taking Niacin within a meal? I had bothersome flushing taking it even after a meal. I found that if I take in the middle of the meal, I don't generally get flushing at all, and if I do, it is much less intense. Hopefully that doesn't mean it is being negated by the food. (I don't think so... it appears to have raised my HDL by 10% and lowered my LDL by about the same amount.) That was taking 1000 mg per day of the Nicotinic Acid variety. Also, I have seen in multiple places that if you take an aspirin just before the Niacin, the flushing is eliminated or reduced, but I haven't tried this.
@dankaufeld710 ~ True. Niacin with food slows the absorption. Many take slow-release for this reason _( SloNiacin )_ 👌
Interestingly, Dave Feldman's latest preview of their Cleerly CCTA results show that LMHRs and the MI Heart matched cohort not using LDL meds both have about the same soft plaque. For some reason LMHRs' plaque isn't calcified as much as those in the MI Heart cohort. This raises even more questions about the traditional Lipid Hypothesis. But it also begs the question about how plaque progresses without getting calcified.
I'm SUPER happy to have found Dr. Brewers channel in the midst of my struggle. And while I'm slightly different than the average due to heavy metal poisoning and hypersensitivity/allergies yet despite my documented proof, my primary consistently gaslights me and focuses on ldl & cholesterol.
I've lost 43 lbs on carnivore but that's been my only benefit. I'm feeling well, in a LOT of joint & muscle pain and a crp that's now through the roof.
I just wish I could get a doctor who does carnivore or keto and takes insurance
Try Dr. Eric Westman, he has youtube channel as well.
@my4angelsSweden Thank you. i follow him, but he never answers any of my questions in the comment section. I can't afford a functional medicine doctor, especially when I already know nothing can be done with the heavy metal poisoning/allergies.
@@natswayNo sugar no fructose. No fruit , few vegetables. Meet has no allergies
Thank you for this info. Please give more information about genetics. Most people think because their parents or siblings had cardiovascular disease they will also have cardiovascular disease and it is because of genetics. Most often it is because they have unhealthy diets and life style and are obese, insulin resistant, and metabolically unhealthy . I am a nurse and see that happening all the time. Many people immediately take a statin drug because they say they have high cholesterol and heart disease because of genetic. Most doctors do not discuss diet and lifestyle. Some may be due to genetics but not all. Once a doctor tells a patient it is because of genetics, they feel hopeless and can’t due anything about it except take the drug. Also,more info on APO-a and its role in genetics.
Dr Brewer, ferritin is the inflammation marker I'd like to learn more about. Great work!
one of your best to date!
Omgosh! You absolutely ROCK!!!
Green tea was suggested for LDL reduction??? 😮😮😮😮
One of you best vids ever. Very well done. Thank you.
Excellent podcast on how to achieve a healthy metabolism with the adaptation of proper lifestyle for the majority of the population. Thank you very much.
Muchas gracias Dr. Brevete, muy importante sus conceptos científicos.
Thank you so much, Doc. I would like to know what you know about apple cider vinegar. I heard a lot of good things about it. Thank you so much.
I got my annual wellness checkup Thursday, Lab test results Friday. According to my lipid panel I probably won't make it another week, but I feel pretty darn good. I'm expecting the doctor's office to call Monday and tell me to get on down to the pharmacy right now for you know what...... Follow the money? Nooooo follow the blood work.
At this time we do not have the technology to measure the cholesterol in the blood, chemically or physically by using light, color or transparency. Based on agreed knowledge of the last few centuries, there are NO minerals, crystals (like sugar and salt), fat bobles/balls (like cholesterol), oxygen (as gas) or CO2 (as a gas) in blood plasma.
There are NO Clots, it is only cartoons and photoshops and criminal fake doctors. Fake doctors in Providence Saint John told me that I had a clot in my RCA and they placed a metallic stent which dissolved and disappeared in my blood, later I learned that it was all fake and was about charging thousands of dollars.
Hi did. You get call on monday?
Thank You dr I think You just save My life God take good care
Thank you!
Great content, and I appreciate Dr. Ford.
Thanks! I appreciate you, too!
What statin is best for cardiovascular Inflammation? My husbands doctor prescribed atorvastatin 20mg - he is in secondary prevention has he suffered a heart attack 1.5 years ago and was recently diagnosed with CVD. Also think heart attack was brought in my the use of chantix (varenicline) thank you for your videos they are very helpful in understanding what the common doctor do not know or care to disclose
Thank you. Atorvastatin is the very last statin. I use (less than half a dozen times over the past 5 years) because it doesn’t work as well for females or prediabetics. Try Rosuvastatin or Pitavastatin.
Excelente!!!! Muchas Gracias!!!!
Perfecto todo lo explicado!! Quedó super claro .Saludos🇺🇾
Such interesting info💞
Excelente. Da gusto escuchar a un doctor que sabe de verdad.
Thank you Doc.
Yes we want a video about them!! Thank you for this lecture. I think I’m bringing my orthopedic surgeon husband around 😊
I recently went on 250 miles of backpacking trips and got off LCHF diet for about a month during and between the two trips. Total C went way down but Trigs/HDL ratio suffered a little (stayed under 2 though); hba1c went up. For me, diet clearly beats exercise as far as metabolic health goes. Or maybe better to say the foundation of metabolic health starts with diet. Next year, I will go through the effort to stay on LCHF out on the trail.
@mystatinfreelife, I find I can hike backpack much easier staying low carb fat adapted. No energy bonks! Just steady energy through the day and can hike like a mountain goat, love it.
This is easy to digest and makes so much sense. At age 28, my LDL was 160-155, and in my 30s, it's 181-190. Since earlier it was around 160, I don't have FH, right, Doc? By the way, my HDL is always around 58-65. Thanks, Doc, for the lipid energy clarification.
People that hit an LDL of 180 or greater have an 80% chance of having FH or LMHR.
@@PrevMedHealthwhat is FH LMHR?
Excellent.
By far the best most practical explanation I have seen that ties together multiple aspects of metabolic disease and various test results. Including great graphics.
I have been sloppy keto for several years. Many of my markers are improving. (-30 lbs. Trig/HDL = 1.5)
I will continue to inch toward carnivore to combat my insulin resistance. (my 2hr insulin = 76 µIU/mL)
I would love for you to do a version of this video focusing on Lp(a). (my Lp(a) 360, is 99 percentile)
Gracias por la información, deseo saber más sobre el metabolismo. Gracias
Great information about Cholesterol and myths of LDL...Dr Ford Brewer is working more and discovering the latest update on cardiovascular disease maintenance and prevention of. Stroke and cardiac attack..lots of regards and love from India❤
Explicas muy muy bién, lo felicito
Great explanation Dr Brewer. You’re 100% right about insulin resistance. Will take your advice. About like style changes 71 yrs old. LDL 125 , HBA1c 5.6. , fasting glucose 100. 66% calcification on CAC score.
BP 130/75-80.
Looks
I’m on the edge of metabolic problems? Your advice is excellent . Learning lots from your videos. Thank you. G-d bless
Which brand of CGM do you recommend?
Yes. I want a video about the other markers you mentioned at 22:05 point.
One other thing. There are rolled oats and steel cut oats. Instant oats are rolled oats but not all rolled oats are instant oats.
That's interesting. Thank you very much!
I looked it up. I see conflicting information. Some says rolled oats cook quickly. Another says it doesn't. That is critical to me. If it cooks quickly, it seems the body could get the sugar out quickly. What are your thoughts??
What a fantastic presentation! Wish I could've been your patient. An MD like I never seen! 5******
My hypothesis:
"ldl cholesterol concentration" is positively linked with "systemic microbial load", and serves as an "antibiotic function". Accordingly, reduction of "ldl cholesterol concentration" would reduce systemic antimicrobial capacity, thereby accelerating rate of biological aging and progression of aging associated diseases (like sarcopenia and dementia).
that's really interesting. know of anyone else exploring this theory, conducting studies or metastudies?
@@sarahevanson-isaac7237 I'm not aware of anyone exploring this idea.. there is no funding for such research, unfortunately.
It is possible that any positive impact of statins on healthspan is the result of "the power of placebo effect"...
I'm unaware of anyone else proposing nor testing this hypothesis..
Good point. However, for those immune to "placebo effects", statins may reduce their cognitive and physical healthspan. There is already a growing body of published academic research to indicate the possibility of such a phenomenon. For example, convincing research published in the "journal of nuclear medicine" by Dr. Silverman's team at UCLA reveal that statin use is associated with more than double the risk of converting to dementia over eight years of follow-up compared with statin non-use, and with highly significant decline in metabolism of posterior cingulate cortex -- the region of the brain known to decline the most significantly in the earliest stages of Alzheimer’s disease.
… ahh, I should have waited before I commented. I now see at the end where you do recommend LOW dose statin, so you are consistent and I appreciate that. Thanks, Doc.
Excellent video, please do a video on blood markers for heart disease e.g. Lp(a) and measuring blood glucose - especially for those that cannot afford a CGM 🙂 - thanks! PS The book "the Clot Thickens" by Dr Malcolm Kendrick completely blows the LDL-heart hypothesis out of the water.

What about lipoprotein a? How much of a risk does it pose if it's 3 times the upper threshold?
Dr brillante su exposición .El hombre es animal de costumbres .Con esta exposición rompe con los conocimientos actuales
Like others, I also found this vides one of the best of yours, many useful details.
However, you mentioned here and in a few of your previous videos, the use of low dose statins for those who already have plaque. I suggest that you have a separate more detailed video on this and cover pros/cons of this approach, suggested dose, etc. For example as I learned from other sources, the main side effects of statins are: impact on brain, possibility of future dementia, raised blood glucose (which would contradict to the goal of treating insulin resistance).
Again, thank you very much for this video, I did learn a lot.
I Hear You, we are planning a video on statins
Gracias doc!!! Se agradece canal en español ❤❤
How is heart protected from high LDL-c due to fasting as well as lchf diet? Cholesterol,hdl-c and LDL-C rises and triglycerides decreases with lchf diet. It does not effect heart. What are the reasons? Are there researches in that respect?
I went to steel cut organic oats. I limit my sugar and carb intake and avoid highly processed foods. I think grass fed animal protein is healthier and more nutrient dense. same with pasture raised eggs and chicken.
Ive been eating organic oat bran with spirulina power added and coconut oil. Measured scoop to limit 30 grams of crabs
Are the high protein cereals now available also not healthy?
Great video doc. So well explained. Thank you

Wine bottle size are about 35-70 depending on the verity quantity and antioxidant level. They sell out fairly fast on the high antioxidant level olive oils. The tast is unbelievable compared to store bought. All his oils are third party tested by one of the best labs and then results are shown above each selection !

Very interesting, might be the iron, rule of thumb for us is not eating processed cereals, which a Lot of people still do and think is healthy, that's just sad
Brilliant. DOC B is a brilliant Dr. Dr Atkins was talking this in 1972.
Also, if you are a carnivore or truly keto; don't, do the craft test unless you consumed carbs prior to the test for at least 72 hrs. If not, your pancreas will be so sluggish, it will not know what to do with 75 mgs of carbs, and you will look like a type 2 or 1 diabetic.
Didn’t know that about eating carbs before the glucose tolerance test if you’re keto. Thanks. (I assumed you meant glucose tolerance test and grams not mg)
@@alycep.5886 correct
Regarding A1c screening missing diabetes, the opposite can also be true. A1c can be elevated due to causes other than average glucose. This isn’t discussed much. I’d love to hear a deep dive on this.
