Good stuff. And for those of us with a slow PEMT gene, we need more choline! Chris Masterjohn, PhD, has a choline calculator where you can plug in your methylation genetics and actually see your choline requirement in grams.
I was excited about supplementing with choline until I read about its relation to prostrate cancer in a study in PubMed - "The role of choline in prostate cancer"
I hope you will investigate Choline more. This video was sparce. It is my understanding that Choline prevents fatty liver and helps heart health. I lack the science behind those assumptions.
While the arguments for plant vs animal based diets will continue and the effects of choline were very interesting, I found the most important thing he said for disease prevention in this video, especially for this advancing age group may be vigorous exercise like resistance training. As long as you are burning it up, how you get your fuel may just be of secondary significance.
I hope good free range n organic eggs remain available in UK. Don't want standards to drop. Local greengrocer has box 15. Halsall, Lancashire farm eggs. Rich golden yolks. Liverpool uk
I have been eating raw 4 egg yolks for 9 years - with lemon and honey. I haven't had indigestion since. I cook the egg white with grated potato omelet. I am now 68 male on regular HIIT
I eat 3 eggs everyday. I scramble them with cheese, lots of sea salt and fresh ground pepper. When they're done, I put them on two pieces of toasted whole grain bread smothered in salted butter. I drink half a bottle of cheap red wine every night. I lift weights 3 times a week. I have very little rest between sets. I keep my heart rate above 130 BPM for at least 45 minutes. I'm fit and strong and will probably work till I'm 80. I never, ever listen to the advice of doctors. Never have and never will. I'm 66.
@@robertsimpson2177 thankyou. I’ll be 70 in a few months and still going strong. I have been weightlifting for 46 years. I recently started taking methylene blue.
In 2004 Dr. Perricone advised to eat lots of salmon and reduce inflammation. (kind of pre-heavy metals issue) Dr. Perricone was a proponent of getting enough *Polyenylphosphatidylcholine* (PPC). Then I heard zip about it for years. I'd like to hear Dr Brewers take on PPC. PPC is in eggs, cabbage, meat, and veggies - which purposefully I eat. And in soybeans that I avoid.
In retrospect I think you might now regret throwing away the egg yolks! If you had not followed the Standard American Diet (SAD diet) for many years, perhaps you wouldn't have developed arterial plaque? You didn't mention that egg yolks contain lutein, which is good for eyes. One of the saddest things about medical orthodoxy is the refusal to admit past error, in the foolish belief that such admissions might diminish patient confidence. I think the reverse is the case. The demonisation of saturated fats was based on a scandalous misrepresentation of data; ADA and BDA (now Diabetes UK) treatment recommendations are still ghastly (high carb, low fat, lots of grains): both have been out there for forty years, and the resultant death and disability to many thousands of people has almost certainly been enormous. Hubris on a colossal scale - but here the comeback doesn't fall on the perpetrators.
They're related , glucose goes up insulin goes up... Then lots of good things like testosterone go down .... Because insulin blocks (competes with ) testosterone.
Also , when someone is on low carb they can have higher fasting blood sugar (and wrongly be called pre-diabetic) ... So yes , especially in that case , insulin is better than glucose ... But I bet glucose is cheaper to measure ... So here we go again ... There's your answer .... $$$$$$$
I note sometimes I can have a higher than normal fasting blood sugar that will last until I eat something, as though food was my insulin (ie stimulated insulin) and the BS returns to normal.
Elevated insulin levels seem to be bad for the blood vessel walls. High glucose is bad of course too, but I certainly view high insulin nearly as bad, IMO. A catch 22 of sorts. THis is probably one of a few reasons diabetics are at an increased risk for heart disease and stroke. I know my doc views adding insulin in T2 as somewhat the kiss of death. Increasing insulin isn't the answer but rather worsens the problem in overweight T2's anyway..
You stated you ordered a soft boiled egg and also pastries. The egg yolk was the healthy part. The pastries were the unhealthy choice !!!!! Egg yolks raise HDL cholesterol NOT LDL cholesterol. Besides, blaming cholesterol for heart attacks is like blaming the fireman for the fire. Inflammation is the root causes of heart attacks and most other diseases. Pastries contribute to inflammation. Do your research Doc.
You must be new to Dr. Brewer's channel. To be sure, he is well aware of the research that contributes to a healthy lifestyle and aging. One might say that he is the "poster boy" for giving science-based lectures on inflammation and it's contributory factors to many chronic diseases that occur during the life span. He notes that cholesterol levels are only a small part of factors that contribute to large disease givers like stroke, heart attack, and diabetes. If you'll notice, he has given multiple lectures through the years on the effects of inflammation in the body. It is his cornerstone for good health and aging. I think you'd be very interested in his videos on inflammation, as there are many! Happy hunting! 🙂
“Do your research” could be stated in a less confrontational way. Dr Brewer ONLY does research. I understand you did not realize or were unaware of that.
He suggests that being a heavy baby at birth has lead to epigenetic change that developed into insulin resistance. Dr.FB did a video on epigenetics and insulin resistance.
Thanks. Aging and epigenetics. Aging and obesity are driving the IR/T2DM epidemic. Over half the adults in California are now insulin resistant. ua-cam.com/video/lshFaPAvMWY/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/Xu2jdRquwZw/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/JxOWtLyVjnw/v-deo.html
Thank you for the info . I knew choline was good for the brain because of acetylcholine but I did not know that it was good for the muscles too. I have added this to my "stack" , to try to heal from Levaquin. I might be the only one researching this.... It feels like it sometimes... Nobody is taking up donations at Walmart to fund research for curing people from Levaquin damage... God help us all.
@@PrevMedHealth do you have any videos on DHEA ? I was looking but couldn't find any . The idea is that maybe people who have had significant muscle damage or tendon damage may benefit if this can boost testosterone and improve muscle synthesis. Zinc is probably a good idea too I would assume. Personally I wouldn't take too much zinc every day because I've read it competes with other things (I think it was iron) for absorption. I know the risk of raising testosterone would be that it can raise rbc count too high . Keto Mojo meter(fancy glucometer) can check hematocrit. That's a good thing ... Anyways . Do you know about DHEA ?
fordfiveohh < Donate blood to lower hematocrit. You can get too much zinc but it IS a gym trainer's secret and keeps clients coming back. DHEA is a no-go if you have male pattern baldness or tendency - if you like your hair. Some use sublingual spray. There's no known pathway that cortisol suppresses DHEA (correlation isn't causation). But Glucose (carb) DOES SUPPRESS DHEA. T2 diabetics are missing an enzyme that lets pregnenalone change into DHEA. So limit carbs over stress to increase DHEA (Test.).
Appears to me the main focus of CV and cancer risk reduction is all to do about inflammation, and the drivers of inflammation. Inflammation seems to be route of all evil. So we undertake a strict Blood Sugar control diet, take those supplements that protect. To this end I note a recent PubMed report on MSM (a well known supplement) and its likely CV risk reduction via inflammation reduction. "These findings indicate that MSM may protect against inflammation in the heart, and thereby protect against inflammation-linked CVDs. Further study is warranted to determine the effect of MSM on cardiovascular health outcomes." "In conclusion, the findings from this investigation indicate that MSM is effective in decreasing IL-6 transcript and protein expression following TNF-α treatment. This is the first investigation to examine the effects of MSM in a cardiac model. Given the role of chronic inflammation in cardiovascular disease, these findings support the importance of future studies to robustly identify the beneficial effects of MSM as a novel option for prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease." www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6055070/
Dr. Brewer, you mentioned high intensity training (like HIIT) reduces the glucose level and thus insulin level. Are you not afraid that HIIT will increase the inflammation in the arteries, due to the very high blood pressure thats occurs when doing HIIT (or has there been any studies done on this subject) ?
Thanks a lot Aldo, would you be able to point me to the specific vid on this topic (there are many vids on HIIT, but I haven't seen the one that specifically talks about the risks that occurs due to the high blood pressure associated with HIIT) Thanks!
Wildman Samurai , I have read the yolk is as healthy whites. I eat hard boiled eats. The whole egg grows a baby chick. What are your other sources of protein.
So is the egg yolk healthy?
I don’t think it hurts you.
Yes. It has lots of nutrients such as vitamin b, choline, minerals. Choline is vital for liver health.
Good stuff. And for those of us with a slow PEMT gene, we need more choline! Chris Masterjohn, PhD, has a choline calculator where you can plug in your methylation genetics and actually see your choline requirement in grams.
Interesting, Looking forward to Part 2. This one made me realize I left off Choline/Inositol when I posted my supplement list in the last video.
Really enjoying your content... thank you!
I was excited about supplementing with choline until I read about its relation to prostrate cancer in a study in PubMed - "The role of choline in prostate cancer"
🤔
I have one to two eggs a day. I share with a friend.
Thank you.

I haven’t eaten pastries in years. I’m on a low-carb diet that leans plant-based.

Thanks.
So do you recommend getting insulin checked. I mean I already know I'm insulin resistance so just wondering
Just reading Dr. Lou Ignarro's book, DR. NO. I was struck by the effect of acetylcholine on the production of nitric oxide.
By 90' they talked about choline & Inositol as suplements for performance and good health qhat about it?
Hey doc! So do I get this right? : you've been on a plant based Diet for a long period of time. That in turn ruined your health and made you diabetic?
I'm pretty sure you can't build muscle and have long term heart health.
He suggests that being a heavy baby at birth has lead to epigenetic change that developed into insulin resistance. Dr.FB did a video on epigenetics and insulin resistance.
@@alineharam thank you. I'll have to look up that video. As for right now I do not understand the correlation.

Ok, I always thought the yolk was the embryo's food. Also, why their bodies are so bright yellow when they hatched.
Last I recall Doc you mentioned taking 5mg of Ramipril per day did you change that up? I am taking 5mg per day and have no laugh issue from that.
