    I was told by my doctor not to stick with the keto diet because it is unhealthy. He said I should eat a balanced diet so I tried the *Agoge diet* and I am starting noticing less belly fat really fast.

      The keto diet is NOT unhealthy. Cutting out sugar and carbs is NOT unhealthy. Doctors only get 9 hours of nutritional studies in med school and don't know much about nutrition to begin with. They think processed carbs via crackers and cereal is a "healthy snack" 🤦‍♀️

    Wow! About what this Dr: says about the reasons of Fish smell like in the Urine (to me smell like Tuna Sandwich smell)
    He says the reason number one is Vitamins and I was shocked to hear him saying that Vitamin B6 and Vitamin D is the number one reason and that is exactly what I'm taking lately, everyday, I take or (I should say took because I will not anymore) one Pill of Vitamin B6 and one Pill of Vitamin D, well now I will stop taking them, thanks Dr: Robert for your advices, I will come back here within a week to tell you if those Vitamins were the the cause of it.

    My coworker often smells like fish. She was upfront about it and said that sense she is large, she has slight bladder incontinence. When the urine leaks on her "liner" it can cause a fishy odor. I had questions, but didn't want to be rude and ask her. Isn't there a pill she can take for that or perhaps a surgery. She deserves to work and is a kind person, but the smell is bothersome. She's actually a clean person.

    This video is very informative. I have prostatitis and have been dealing with it for a year I am taking tamsulosin and ciprofloxacin and as soon as I stop taking it the symptoms will come right back but while I am taking it the symptoms seem to go away. I have the fishy smell also and it is very strong and I can smell it whenever I urinate I don't have control of my bladder really and can never empty it. I have abdomen pain all the time and have had abdomen pain and entire year pain in my side the flank pain is constant and will not go away. It hurt sometimes when I urinate it hurts a lot when I am aroused or when I ejaculate I can tell my prostate is swollen I can take pain but this is a special type of pain that wants to bring me to my knees

    My urine recently around August started smelling very very weird. It got to the point I thought I had a yeast infection or a UTI but I didn't experience any of the other symptoms like burning, frequency/urgency, cloudiness & all my lab tests came back negative. After watching this video I realized it may have been due to the CENTRUM multi-vitamins that I started taking around summer time once a day. However, I stopped taking them & my urine still smells so weird. If it is due to the vitamins and I stopped taking them why is the smell still there?

    My 12 yr old daughter has a bad bladder problem. And it smells like fish. She can not hold it for nothing. She goes super fast and short too. The smell has been like this for since she got out of diapers. And only gets worse through the years. We always go to doc to test for urinary infection and it always says negative.

      The smell is not the problem - don't let a bladder infection go before taking antibiotics, and have them check for resistance. Look into Mannose supplements to help rid the bladder of biofilms. Uquora is a good company but you can get the ingredients over the counter. It sounds like your pee smell is from recurrent UTi.
      I got mine to stop from not using soap in the vagina area anymore. Just clear water rinse. It worked for me and my mom and we both had chronic UTIs until we stopped the soap.
