Dr. Sten Ekberg Excellent info on the effects of exercise, hormones and the brain. I have been doing HIIT in a walking then jogging for 30 seconds every few minutes. I am 71 and have fibromyalgia so it is a challenge. Determined to keep my cognitive abilities sharp! Thank you for inspiration.
I absolutely love your videos and couldn't thank you enough for sharing as you are! Spreading the word here in Atlanta, GA! Please keep them coming! You're blessing others with your blessings given! Thank you!
I road bicycle for 3 to 4 hours at a time 4 or 5 times a week. My chest strap HR monitor shows an average HR between 130/140 BPM consistently. I have seen my HR over 200 climbing some hills (not smart I know). If I understand your point here the extended riding raises my cortisol to high for to long? I also weight train 3x per week.. I will be 68 in Aug. Thanks
Totally agree! It's so refreshing to see a doctor focused on genuinely helping people without pushing ads. We need more healthcare professionals like this making a real impact!
Hello Dr.Eckberg, my name is John, I was diagnosed with type 2 about three years ago. I’m 49 years old, and managed to get my body to just over 300 lbs. 4/4/2023 I met with my doctor,to discuss my lab results etc. My H1C was 13.2. He tried real hard to put me on insulin injections, as well as jardience,etc. I plead with him to give me 90 days to try to change my ways. He reluctantly agreed, after telling me it couldn’t be done with diet. Today is 4/13/2023. Day 9 of a radical LCHFIF with ACV. Plus added resistance training and walking to my life. It’s too early to get excited, but I’m at 285 this morning. I want to thank you sir for doing what you’re doing! It is helping the people who need it. BLESS YOU AND YOUR LOVE ONES SIR. You have helped me! Thank you!
Great job, feels good doesn’t it. I lost 100+ lbs in my early 20’s. Now I’m 35 and have slowly gained half of that back but I’m ready to get back to being healthy again. I found your story inspirational because you knew you could do it on your own, I know I can too
John, your determination is inspiring! It's incredible to see how committed you are to taking control of your health. Keep up the hard work, and remember that every step counts. Wishing you continued success on your journey-you're doing amazing!
I think what Dr Ekberg is teaching us should be a mandatory health class in all schools. I am 55 year old type 2 diabetic and just now really understand how everything ties in to overall health and well being! I also love the fact that he is not in it for the ads - truly inspiring doctor!!
It should also be taught to General Medical Practitioners, most of whom are very poorly educated about nutrition, exercise and the associated impact on health.
This is great. Last year, when I was starting to lose weight, I told my doctor that I seem to get more benefits from walking and keeping my heart rate below 130, and she tsk tsk'd at me and said I should be doing exercise that keeps me at 150+ for an hour a day (I was 100lbs overweight -- not sure how she thought I could do that). I didn't listen to her, kept walking, and I've lost 50 lbs and feel SO much better.
Thank you Arysta for sharing your story. That is great. I am so happy you have noticed a positive change. Keep it up! Might want to share this video with your doctor. It is time to overturn the "religion of calories".😄
Congratulations. Wonderful to hear from people who are successful by listening to what Dr. Ekberg is saying. Gives me hope for getting healthier myself. Thanks for sharing.
im 59 woman and it took me 3 yrs to finally see how ive lost weight..........im fasting 16:8 hr walking 30 mins 5 days a wk my weight is dropping i stopped snacking cut bread rice pasta anything flour based im eating healthy love my vegtables im careful on bananas watermelon an grapes as you said these have the equivalant to 6 tspn sugar i feel better i sleep better i feel like a 30 yr old so ppls eat healthy exercise change your lifestyle regarding eating habits stick to it and your body will love the healthy eating
I learned that not all doctors know everything, especially the young ones, but I listen to the ones on here, thank you. I'm pre-diabetic, I've lost 10lbs from changing the way I eat, now I just have to motivate myself yo walk alone
Keto and fasting got me where I wanted to be. In fact, my type two diabetes is gone (A1C 4.7). now it is time to exercise and I could not be happier with Dr. Ekberg's suggestions.

My hands are chronically cold and if prolonged start to tingle like "falling asleep." This happens even in the summer if the a/c is too high. Well they have been cold all morning today and I tried this breathing exercise for about 30 minutes straight and now they are fine. This is a miracle! Such a simple solution to a chronic problem. The human body is so amazing and so is Dr. Ekberg.
I'm glad Dr. promoted weight training. Heavy weights, full body, 3 days a week, combined with light walking/cardio as he described a few times a week ..... and you're golden.
I had noticed that after I exercised ( pushing myself on a the elliptical machine) my glucose levels would not go down and even on some days it would go up comparing my readings before exercising to after exercising. Today I listen to you, and I keep my intensity to where I could breath in and out through my nose and after 32 minutes my glucose reading went down 32 points!!! I also start the 16-8 low carb fasting. Thank you for your help Dr. Ekberg!
The man from another planet, aware of him a couple of years ago, subscribed 8 months now, I'm a type 2 diabetic a year now minus the metformin, 58 years old, read over 200 books on health in 40 a year span, and this man dismantled everything I knew into a 35 min clip?

@@drekberg I was accustomed to the 5-10 minute video, and there is some good information out there on them. At first, I almost didn't watch yours because of the length, but I am so glad I did! It's not the length that's important. It's the Information, the way it is presented, the compelling nature of it. How much actual GOOD it does for you. I take notes on your videos. I appreciate it more than I can say. And I watch them sometimes more than once. The 35 minutes FLIES BY! Thank you for all you do!

Exercise help reduce stress is by the brain releasing endorphins that associated with pain reduction and feeling of increased well-being and happiness, exercise is countermeasure to stress and anxiety, and I believe that balances hormones too .
I'm diabetic for over 10 years and was given insulin and xigduo 2x per day. My wife showed me Dr Ekberg an started keto and intermittent fasting and now on my 5th week. My sugar level now is prediabetic and sometimes on normal levels. From 210 lbs now I'm 180 lbs. Thank you so much for opening my eyes and mind.
This video deserves a Grammy and an OSCAR. Thank you Dr Ekberg, for the single best explanation I have ever seen or read on how exercise works, the effects on the body and the best ways to use exercise for health. A brilliantly concise and understandable 35 minutes that are clearly the result of long experience and work on this area. Highly recommended. I'll be encouraging lots of people to look at this.
Good doctor. He is easy to understand, and all make sense, I never understood why torture the body with exercise is any good for the body. Finally someone teaching how to live healthy in a normal way. And thanks for no advertisement interruption.
Dr. Sten Ekberg is a truly wonderful teacher. As a Nurse there are a few things when learning about diabetes type 1&2 that I have struggled with in school but, with one short but sweet (couldn't resist) video I am not as confused about a few things. I thank you sir.
I ABSOLUTELY believe you are the most intelligent health and fitness person I have ever seen. I took a 4 credit nutrition course from my University and I still learned more from you. You definitely deserve an A+ for Knowledge and Delivery. ❤ 🍇 🍒 🍉 🍈 🍎 🍍🍋 🍐 🐔 🌿🐝 🍯🍔 🌭 🍦 🍌 🎂 🍩 ☕ 🍵🍸
i was 215 and i joined the gym. i worked 8 hours a day on my feet in a cabinet shop. i didn't eat breakfast just coffee. i had spinach and a can of sardines for lunch. after work i hit the gym and lift weights for an hour. then i went home and ate a stake with no sides, just a plain stake.... i did that for 3 months and i went down to 165. i lost 50 pounds in 3 months. i was never hungry.
I'm 35, was 311 pounds and diagnosed as pre-diabetic. My a1c was 6.5. Thus was about 2.5 weeks ago... Now I'm 290. I have been cycling and walking. When I cycle, I focus on getting my heart rate above 150, no more than 180.....my resting heart rate used to be in the low 100s, high 90s...now I'm in the low 80s! My blood glucose in the morning is now no more than 105 and thru the day I'm under 100.... I think intensity has helped me tremendously
This information is available on other UA-cam channels, books, medical studies, and school texts - but here, Dr. Ekberg presents it in such a thorough (yet succinct) and completely absorb-able way that it makes for a very powerful delivery of very transformational piece of health information. Very thankful for finding this channel and the information received!

Thanks for this nice teaching, this video let's me adjusted my cycling pattern for weight loss over the past month and it is working 💪 Sending you an expresso for my appreciation to your efforts!
Thank You @larrychan3984 so much for showing your appreciation and supporting the channel, and for helping me get the message of health out to the world. 🙏 🏆 😄
I've always been an advocate of just 15 minutes of cardio with a few minutes of HIIT a day, being all you need. The idea of exercising for hours a day puts so many people off to getting healthy.
Just find something fun for you, then it's not a chore. Get out of the gym. Treadmils and stationary bikea are painfully boring. Climb a mountain, walk your dog, or take a bike ride outdoors. For me, I love rock climbing and mountain climbing. It's like a combination of physical and mental challenge,
Yeah, like personally I love the feeling that running gives. Just the simple quality of life improvements such as quieter and calmer breathing just makes me feel so much better. Plus, despite being a distance runner, I find that just sprinting to go to my bustop feels amazing and allows me to retain my fitness and health while not taking a big chunk of my day out. It really just comes to personal preference.
out of curiosity I checked how guys who hold long distance run records in age category 70+ are working out - and they are NOT killing themselves with hours and hours of training ; they also put intensity and regularity above unnecesarily big volume of single session.
Sir, I have fallen in love with your lectures. Ever since I have subscribed ur channel, I don't feel the need for clicking on another fitness video. Keep the great work up. Thank you :)
Thank You @carlee2500 so much for showing your appreciation and supporting the channel, and for helping me get the message of health out to the world. 🙏 🏆 😄
You keep surprising us with your videos Dr. Sten. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 You really deserve a Nobel Prize. No words can express my astonishment. May you live a long, healthy and a happy life. I salute you and I will continue to pray for you.🤲🏻🤲🏻🤲🏻
You know whenever I look at your videos. I always noticed that there are about a 1/2 an hour-long and in some instances. I'm not ready to watch a full half an hour. However, after watching about 2 or 3 of your videos, I now realize that it benefits me to watch the entire video because the explanations that you give on how the body functions are fantastic.
Absolutely the best channel on understanding the wisdom of the body. Thanks so much, Dr. Sten. I am having my entire family listening to every one of your video. 🙏🏽
Dear Dr Sten I am a diadetic for more than 15 years. No one explained about insulin resistance better than you. Now l can easily plan my exercise and diet as well. Thanks a lot for this arduous effort to the mankind.
This is absolutely wonderful! I have exercised wrong, and didn't understand what's happening to my body as I did. I had the wrong understanding behind exercising. This eye opening perspective on the reason for different exercises, and different levels of intensities for health improvement is helping me out tremendously. Dr Ekberg thank you again. Such a great teacher. Simple teachings, and easy to understand by a simple minded person like me.
This, along with keto diet, must be taught in schools around the world. As a lot of people are still misinformed how to keep or improve their health, while it turns out to be quite simple.
No no no --We want vast populations of docile, controllable sick people, not capable of thinking clearly. If everyone gets well what will us health care professionals do for a living? What will become of our plans to take over the world?
we all know that the education system was meant to keep us ignorant, ill informed, & purposely dumbed down... just enough to maintain our slavery to the matrix..
Amazing! I couldn't understand why my glucose was high after an hour of intensive workout but when I walked at normal pace my glucose went down. I discovered this when I had glucose monitoring. I am diabetic for 10 years and finally managing my glucose level. I wish I knew this 10 years ago!!!! Thank you for all you do!!!!
15 years ago, I practiced strict heart rate training with a HR monotor during my attempt at becoming a significantly better distance runner. What the good Dr. has outlined here is precisely what was tought about the need to stay within the aerobic range to burn fat and improve endurance. 80% of my runs were purposely in the aerobic range, and a very limited amount of training was doing hill sprints, which would be HIT) and track speed work. I endorse wholeheartedly the physiology he discussed here regarding what occurs at different intensity levels. Great, great video!
Great info thanks Dr. I am T2D & run on a fairly regular basis. Recently did several 4 mile runs & was so confused & e extremely frustrated why my sugar went up 20+ points after my run. Now I know - cortisol.
Ive been watching your videos for about 4 years .I'm 49. Your voice is soothing and your content is beyond educational, it's life enhancing. Love listening just before sleeping and upon waking.
I am 54 years old and i admit i all along thought i knew about health not until i listened to your classes.This a total eye opener for me. Every video has something to say about every wrong notion i had about health. I wish i had known these much much earlier.
Thank you Srinivasan S. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it. The purpose of my channel is to explain things better than other channels and help people understand the principles. Comments like yours makes it all worthwhile.
I been doing HIT for over 40 years. I read a book by an East German trainer in the mid 70s who preached HIT. I used to run. I can't run any more but I changed to lap swimming. One way I swim hard. On the way back I swim slowing to catch my breath. And, repeat a few times.
I only recently started watching this guy. but I must say everything he is saying is speaking to my intellect of what I've been experiencing all my life in terms of "roller coaster" health. I will definitely keep watching.🙂
A recent MRI showed fat in pancreas and abnormal liver enzymes. Dr. said see you in 6 months. Found your channel and began your recommendations. I am sleeping through the night, more active through the day, and now have hope for a future. Deepest gratitude and thanks.
Thank you Dr. Ekberg! I have learned more from you than any of my Dr's that I have had over the years. My current PCP and nutritionist have it all wrong. I just nod my head because when I speak with them about what I have learned they dismiss it. I am on day 6 of IF and low carb along with the aerobic exercise and yoga that I have been doing for a long time and I already have lost 4 lbs and feel so much better. Tomorrow I am going to switch it up and do a 24 hr fast. Thank you so much!
WHAT AN EXPLANATION!!!🎉 Thank you SO much. @64 1/2yrs and just getting back into the gym I'm realizing exactly what I need to do. 🎉❤ Yes, insulin resistance, adrenal fatigue, fatty liver (thank God the liver can rejuvenate itself through diet and exercise) I also follow your good friend Dr. Eric Berg and have been IF, low to no carb/sugar for 2yrs. I'm a HUGE fan of you both. Eternally grateful for your wisdom 😘
Thank You @manjuchowdhury so much for showing your appreciation and supporting the channel, and for helping me get the message of health out to the world. 🙏 🏆 😄
(23:07)" ...there's a difference between fitness and health." Those are words of wisdom that the body has always let one know but most refuse to listen.
I've spent 3 years now pushing iron in the gym and absolutely love it. I'm beginning intermittent fasting and low carb and the transition is rough. Recovery from intense workouts seems to be taking longer and I don't feel quite as strong. I'm only 2 weeks into this and was very carb dominant for decades. So, I guess this is par for the course, and my strength/recovery will improve as I get more fat adapted.
I'm probably the poster child for cortisol 🤪 So glad I found this because I've been trying to figure out what is better given everything. I think I could listen to you all day, always awesome. Thank you!!!!
I’m a healthcare professional but learning so much from you. You present accurate information in easy to understand ways. Love your practical advice. Favorite UA-cam channel, binging your videos!
For HIIT, I like using my row horse! For aerobics, I just strap on a small amount of weight to my legs(5lbs) and hands(2.5lbs), and move them up and down at whatever pace you want while laying on my bed! During my workout, I listen to workout music and do different types of movements for each song. Anyone can do this! There's no stress on your joints and you breath easier too! You can do this exercise anywhere at any time! I do it my the morning.

@@drekberg Thank you for taking the time to reply, I greatly appreciate that. I watch all you advise esp about losing belly fat, my biggest challenge. I am still working hard on eating healthy and doing workout. Keep doing your video Dr Ekberg. We believe in you.
Im really thankful that I found your channel. I have struggled with my weight for the longest time. When I started following what I learned from your vlogs, I was surprised that after the first 30days, I lost 10 lbs right away!
Thank you for this. I acquired an elliptical trainer (I affectionately call it the Hamster Machine) for use during the pandemic. I developed a series of 4 different workouts that I cycle through: 2 are aerobic, one is HIIT, and the third, the one I always hated the most, you have just taught me is counterproductive (around 70-80% for an hour, always a struggle to finish). So now I have a good reason to "fix" that workout, and probably enjoy it more.
Thank You @steve680703 so much for showing your appreciation and supporting the channel, and for helping me get the message of health out to the world. 🙏 🏆 😄
another incredibly informative video from Doc Ekberg, explained in his detailed, yet amazing, way. He is pure nutrition and health gold! Thanks again, Doc!
Just finished my 48-hour fasting now, planning for a 72-hour fasting. It's amazing. I did a fast walk while fasting for 45mnts. Remember to take enough water to avoid cramps and a slight headache. Thanks, doc.
Thank you so much for this video. I wish these fundamental truths were taught to children and young adults. It is a shame that at 72 I am learning the basics of how to exercise and what the benefits are. I think the world would be a happier place if people understood how to manage their minds and bodies. Thank you agan.
Dr Ekberg you are amazingly knowledgeable and so good at imparting this information to us. I have been listening to your videos and finally am able to put it all together in my head and put it to practice. Over the last three months I’ve incorporated fasting from 2 meals a day to omad now and very low carb except for broccoli and leafy greens. I’ve been strength training 3-4 times a week just for about 10 min or so. I’ve been walking at an aerobic rate daily. I’ve been doing kettle bell swings for hitt but just for about 3-4 minutes to get growth hormone and keep cortisol low. Rest of the time it’s all aerobic. Recently I heard your talk on slamming down the weighted ball as being the best for hiit so I’ve started doing that. I feel amazing I’ve lost 20 lbs in 3 months and I’ve done it all in the most healthy way possible according to your videos and I am so grateful. I cannot understand how no other doctor seems to have this knowledge much less help their patients get healthier. I am trying yo share all this with people in my life and it’s not easy. If doctors don’t fully understand hormones and metabolism then it’s surely difficult to expect the general public to get it. I’m a pharmacist and I cringe at all the medications we dispense out especially insulin with utter disregard for long term damage it’s causing. I’ve been meaning to thank you every single day…you are helping millions of metabolically unhealthy people and you deserve the Nobel prize for your noble work. You are indeed a gem and one in a 7 billion!
I've always instinctively thought aerobics classes etc felt wrong, too stressful on my body. Thank you Dr Ekberg. Now I know how help improve my 66 year old self .
Thank you Dr. Ekberg for your easy to understand videos. I've started jogging lately at a rather slow pace (7:00m/km) but I always find my heart rate in the 180s and 190s. By the time I finish a run I usually feel energetic enough to run another kilo and I don't feel any soreness or fatigue the next day, nor have I ever felt dizzy or collapsed. I am 32 years old. I have lost 35+ kg over the past 7 months on a low carb diet and intermittent fasting. My A1C was 5.2 last time I checked down from 9.0 back in November 2018, without any medication. I would appreciate it if you could shed some light on why my heart rate would skyrocket after rather moderate exercise. Thank you again.
I'd like to know as well, i have exactly always had the same problem. Even after a year of constant Jogging 3-4 times per week up to 10k, slowly increased to that distance, my Heartrate never slew down.
there are no words that I can think about to show you how much I appreciate your videos, I was diagnosed with Diabetes type 2 and I was so confused trying to understand what am I supposed to do, you came like an angel to save me.
I lost 26 lbs. doing OMAD. I have also restarted my running. I have regained what I considered my minimal health. I am doing what I thought was just a fantasy less than 3 months ago. This is all thank to videos from people like Dr. Ekberg.
Thank you Aubrey. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it. The purpose of my channel is to explain things better than other channels and help people understand the principles. Comments like yours makes it all worthwhile.
@Aubrey, a few years ago, I read some experts opinion on extreme exercising and he said 'you only have so many heartbeats in your lifetime, so why work so hard trying to use them all up'! Kinda scary, but I guess it makes sense.
Dr. Ekberg I am so grateful for your free information on health. I've been working out for 43 years. I am 58. The past year I've been doing push-ups, body weight squats and bw rows with a pole in the doorway 3-4 sets in a circuit training method. I will give your hiit a try with bodyweight or dumbbells/resistance bands. Thank you
Thank you Sir for sharing this information. This will help us to maintain everything. My husband is really having a hard time controlling his sugar. I will surely apply this information.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I finally got the info I need. At 73 I'm pain and meds-free so must be doing things right generally. But couldn't get good information on exercise.
Elizabeth K- I can relate to you. I am a bit younger than you and appreciate this information on how to exercise properly. I have an exercise bike, but not interested in a spin class! The bike will monitor my heart rate. I like to use that in bad weather and get outside when I can. But I'm concentrating on dropping some weight in a healthy way before I put too much stress on my body. Yoga and stretching are a kind way for me to start with a low carb diet.
Thank you I am a stroke patient Diabetic and with right side difficulty of walking my speech is okay but I sometimes slur !thank you for explaining the importance of xervise with technical know how and not understanding the importance of such hormones and the vivid explanations very thankful for you sharing millions will be benefitted for your kindness kudos to you best of everything I’m a Filipino and before a Nurrse by profession,to God be all the Glory Amen

I road bicycle for 3 to 4 hours at a time 4 or 5 times a week. My chest strap HR monitor shows an average HR between 130/140 BPM consistently. I have seen my HR over 200 climbing some hills (not smart I know). If I understand your point here the extended riding raises my cortisol to high for to long? I also weight train 3x per week..

I think what Dr Ekberg is teaching us should be a mandatory health class in all schools. I am 55 year old type 2 diabetic and just now really understand how everything ties in to overall health and well being! I also love the fact that he is not in it for the ads - truly inspiring doctor!!
Doc makes sense. Help me to live longer healthy
It should also be taught to General Medical Practitioners, most of whom are very poorly educated about nutrition, exercise and the associated impact on health.
They would tell you is fatphobia
You're absolutely right my friend..👍
He is my favorite, he is great
i am truly grateful to Dr Ekberg. He is just fantastic as a teacher and has a calm and highly informative style. I wish I could give him 10 likes
He has a heart of gold
I just gave him another like so I keep sharing his videos with my friends who are struggling with weight and health maybe we’ll get 8 more for him
This is great. Last year, when I was starting to lose weight, I told my doctor that I seem to get more benefits from walking and keeping my heart rate below 130, and she tsk tsk'd at me and said I should be doing exercise that keeps me at 150+ for an hour a day (I was 100lbs overweight -- not sure how she thought I could do that). I didn't listen to her, kept walking, and I've lost 50 lbs and feel SO much better.
Thank you Arysta for sharing your story. That is great. I am so happy you have noticed a positive change. Keep it up! Might want to share this video with your doctor. It is time to overturn the "religion of calories".😄
Congratulations! Way to take control of your health! 💪. Stay strong.
Bravo! Also that proves to always use our own brains, not the one of others. 👍 😉
Way to listen to your own body Arysta!
Congratulations. Wonderful to hear from people who are successful by listening to what Dr. Ekberg is saying. Gives me hope for getting healthier myself. Thanks for sharing.
Doc Ekberg is by far the best person to explain and make the common person understand the relations between food and sickness
im 59 woman and it took me 3 yrs to finally see how ive lost weight..........im fasting 16:8 hr walking 30 mins 5 days a wk my weight is dropping i stopped snacking cut bread rice pasta anything flour based im eating healthy love my vegtables im careful on bananas watermelon an grapes as you said these have the equivalant to 6 tspn sugar i feel better i sleep better i feel like a 30 yr old so ppls eat healthy exercise change your lifestyle regarding eating habits stick to it and your body will love the healthy eating
I learned that not all doctors know everything, especially the young ones, but I listen to the ones on here, thank you. I'm pre-diabetic, I've lost 10lbs from changing the way I eat, now I just have to motivate myself yo walk alone
41 years old and ive finally learnt how to exercise :)
Thankyou so much
Thank you Ryan Pedersen. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it.
Better late then never
You look not a day older than 25
I learn how to live.....
I'm 41 too, from no pain no gain era, I'm on keto and keep walking now. Thanks.
Keto and fasting got me where I wanted to be. In fact, my type two diabetes is gone (A1C 4.7). now it is time to exercise and I could not be happier with Dr. Ekberg's suggestions.
Type two dibetes gone by keto n fasting...ok.....now exercise for brain😉
Congrats! Very happy for you :)
@@AbdulSattar-of3ou fats are the source of energy for the brain. You should up your intake so yours will actually do something instead of just farting out idiom.
Happy for you, please share your experience with me about keto, I'm typ 2.
Your A1C is great congratulations!!
Wish the Dr was my school teacher back in the day! I absorb was is said so easily due to the calm, relax & clear delivery; love this channel👌

I wish too.
@@drekberg yessss.dr sten your explaining too much easily...being non english man, i can under stand what you teach
@@drekberg Absolutely true Dr. Ekberg you should teach university teachers how to teach you really have it all. You are The best of teachers!
Hey Maybe you have a point about introducing this type of calming intelligent atmosphere in schools.
Our society teaches us "no pain, no gain." He is rewriting the book and we all can learn from him.
No pain, no gain is still true.
It applies to fitness and muscle growth.....but not for weight loss.
No pain no gain-- says more about muscle building and less about being healthy for life.
@@yes350yesyou need to listen to the video again
My hands are chronically cold and if prolonged start to tingle like "falling asleep." This happens even in the summer if the a/c is too high. Well they have been cold all morning today and I tried this breathing exercise for about 30 minutes straight and now they are fine. This is a miracle! Such a simple solution to a chronic problem. The human body is so amazing and so is Dr. Ekberg.
I'm glad Dr. promoted weight training. Heavy weights, full body, 3 days a week, combined with light walking/cardio as he described a few times a week ..... and you're golden.
And then there's the HIIT once a week
I had noticed that after I exercised ( pushing myself on a the elliptical machine) my glucose levels would not go down and even on some days it would go up comparing my readings before exercising to after exercising. Today I listen to you, and I keep my intensity to where I could breath in and out through my nose and after 32 minutes my glucose reading went down 32 points!!! I also start the 16-8 low carb fasting. Thank you for your help Dr. Ekberg!
The man from another planet, aware of him a couple of years ago, subscribed 8 months now, I'm a type 2 diabetic a year now minus the metformin, 58 years old, read over 200 books on health in 40 a year span, and this man dismantled everything I knew into a 35 min clip?

Some people complain that my videos are too long. Seems to me 35 min is a fair price to pay for replacing 200 books. 😄
@@drekberg I was accustomed to the 5-10 minute video, and there is some good information out there on them. At first, I almost didn't watch yours because of the length, but I am so glad I did! It's not the length that's important. It's the Information, the way it is presented, the compelling nature of it. How much actual GOOD it does for you. I take notes on your videos. I appreciate it more than I can say. And I watch them sometimes more than once. The 35 minutes FLIES BY! Thank you for all you do!
The most comprehensive video on the subject I have ever seen. Even after reading two books written by Dr Fung, there is so much to learn for me. Thank you Dr Sten Ekberg

Exercise help reduce stress is by the brain releasing endorphins that associated with pain reduction and feeling of increased well-being and happiness, exercise is countermeasure to stress and anxiety, and I believe that balances hormones too .
I'm diabetic for over 10 years and was given insulin and xigduo 2x per day. My wife showed me Dr Ekberg an started keto and intermittent fasting and now on my 5th week. My sugar level now is prediabetic and sometimes on normal levels. From 210 lbs now I'm 180 lbs. Thank you so much for opening my eyes and mind.
This video deserves a Grammy and an OSCAR. Thank you Dr Ekberg, for the single best explanation I have ever seen or read on how exercise works, the effects on the body and the best ways to use exercise for health. A brilliantly concise and understandable 35 minutes that are clearly the result of long experience and work on this area. Highly recommended. I'll be encouraging lots of people to look at this.
Best I've seen
Good doctor. He is easy to understand, and all make sense, I never understood why torture the body with exercise is any good for the body. Finally someone teaching how to live healthy in a normal way. And thanks for no advertisement interruption.
I've watched this multiple times and it's totally changed my workouts. Please do more exercise videos.
Dr. Sten Ekberg is a truly wonderful teacher. As a Nurse there are a few things when learning about diabetes type 1&2 that I have struggled with in school but, with one short but sweet (couldn't resist) video I am not as confused about a few things. I thank you sir.
I ABSOLUTELY believe you are the most intelligent health and fitness person I have ever seen. I took a 4 credit nutrition course from my University and I still learned more from you. You definitely deserve an A+ for Knowledge and Delivery. ❤ 🍇 🍒 🍉 🍈 🍎 🍍🍋 🍐 🐔 🌿🐝 🍯🍔 🌭 🍦 🍌 🎂 🍩 ☕ 🍵🍸
This.
He's just the best, in all deparments. Clear and concise, easy to understand and totally legit. I love all his videos.
And he does not souns mon9tonous at all... it's a pleasure to listen to him.
Yes!
Don’t try to apply this knowledge at the university, you will fail your course ;-)
i was 215 and i joined the gym. i worked 8 hours a day on my feet in a cabinet shop. i didn't eat breakfast just coffee. i had spinach and a can of sardines for lunch. after work i hit the gym and lift weights for an hour. then i went home and ate a stake with no sides, just a plain stake.... i did that for 3 months and i went down to 165. i lost 50 pounds in 3 months. i was never hungry.
Thanks 4 sharing
Thank you Dr Ekberg for your insightful videos. When would be the ideal time to exercise, before a meal or how long after a meal?
I'm 35, was 311 pounds and diagnosed as pre-diabetic. My a1c was 6.5. Thus was about 2.5 weeks ago... Now I'm 290. I have been cycling and walking. When I cycle, I focus on getting my heart rate above 150, no more than 180.....my resting heart rate used to be in the low 100s, high 90s...now I'm in the low 80s! My blood glucose in the morning is now no more than 105 and thru the day I'm under 100.... I think intensity has helped me tremendously
Property diet is what you need to lose weight. Exercise will keep your body, mind, and heart strong.
This information is available on other UA-cam channels, books, medical studies, and school texts - but here, Dr. Ekberg presents it in such a thorough (yet succinct) and completely absorb-able way that it makes for a very powerful delivery of very transformational piece of health information. Very thankful for finding this channel and the information received!
Thank you zeshef. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it. The purpose of my channel is to explain things better than other channels and help people understand the principles. Comments like yours makes it all worthwhile.
I feel like you've been enlightened by Buddha to help the world with your vast and powerful knowledge. Thank you, Dr. Ekberg.
Thanks for this nice teaching, this video let's me adjusted my cycling pattern for weight loss over the past month and it is working 💪 Sending you an expresso for my appreciation to your efforts!
Thank You @larrychan3984 so much for showing your appreciation and supporting the channel, and for helping me get the message of health out to the world. 🙏 🏆 😄
I've always been an advocate of just 15 minutes of cardio with a few minutes of HIIT a day, being all you need. The idea of exercising for hours a day puts so many people off to getting healthy.
Yes this is so practical and doable.
Just find something fun for you, then it's not a chore. Get out of the gym. Treadmils and stationary bikea are painfully boring. Climb a mountain, walk your dog, or take a bike ride outdoors. For me, I love rock climbing and mountain climbing. It's like a combination of physical and mental challenge,
@@azb2010 people only seem to find the motivation when the Dr. tells them they need to exercise and eat right or they are going to die.
Yeah, like personally I love the feeling that running gives. Just the simple quality of life improvements such as quieter and calmer breathing just makes me feel so much better. Plus, despite being a distance runner, I find that just sprinting to go to my bustop feels amazing and allows me to retain my fitness and health while not taking a big chunk of my day out. It really just comes to personal preference.
out of curiosity I checked how guys who hold long distance run records in age category 70+ are working out - and they are NOT killing themselves with hours and hours of training ; they also put intensity and regularity above unnecesarily big volume of single session.
Totally right. I started walking 30 min in Pandemic and notice improved balance in overall health. Will start HIIT now.
Sir, I have fallen in love with your lectures. Ever since I have subscribed ur channel, I don't feel the need for clicking on another fitness video. Keep the great work up. Thank you :)

I salute you and I will continue to pray for you.🤲🏻🤲🏻🤲🏻

You know whenever I look at your videos. I always noticed that there are about a 1/2 an hour-long and in some instances. I'm not ready to watch a full half an hour. However, after watching about 2 or 3 of your videos, I now realize that it benefits me to watch the entire video because the explanations that you give on how the body functions are fantastic.
Absolutely the best channel on understanding the wisdom of the body. Thanks so much, Dr. Sten. I am having my entire family listening to every one of your video. 🙏🏽
You have taught me so much- I love OMAD - I have a feast in 2 hours and there is less washing up 💖🇦🇺👋😊
Dear Dr Sten
I am a diadetic for more than 15 years. No one explained about insulin resistance better than you. Now l can easily plan my exercise and diet as well. Thanks a lot for this arduous effort to the mankind.
This is absolutely wonderful! I have exercised wrong, and didn't understand what's happening to my body as I did. I had the wrong understanding behind exercising. This eye opening perspective on the reason for different exercises, and different levels of intensities for health improvement is helping me out tremendously. Dr Ekberg thank you again. Such a great teacher. Simple teachings, and easy to understand by a simple minded person like me.
I could just hug this brother doc right now, gosh how wrong i have been exercising 😢
One of The best instructor on UA-cam!! God loves you, don't give up on your dreams
This, along with keto diet, must be taught in schools around the world. As a lot of people are still misinformed how to keep or improve their health, while it turns out to be quite simple.
No no no --We want vast populations of docile, controllable sick people, not capable of thinking clearly. If everyone gets well what will us health care professionals do for a living? What will become of our plans to take over the world?
no more obesity if we're aware with these kind of methods
You need to eat 4 dougnuts aday, sugar crisps for breakfast, the $10,000,000.00 sugar industry wants
your money!
we all know that the education system was meant to keep us ignorant, ill informed, & purposely dumbed down... just enough to maintain our slavery to the matrix..
I was thinking exactly the same! To our doctors , as well....
What Dr Ekberg says makes a lot of sense.
I love his brain and kindness of sharing....thanks doc!
Fast 16 hrs a day lost 35 lbs in 6 months, walk daily, this guy is 100% correct
Amazing! I couldn't understand why my glucose was high after an hour of intensive workout but when I walked at normal pace my glucose went down. I discovered this when I had glucose monitoring. I am diabetic for 10 years and finally managing my glucose level. I wish I knew this 10 years ago!!!! Thank you for all you do!!!!
15 years ago, I practiced strict heart rate training with a HR monotor during my attempt at becoming a significantly better distance runner. What the good Dr. has outlined here is precisely what was tought about the need to stay within the aerobic range to burn fat and improve endurance. 80% of my runs were purposely in the aerobic range, and a very limited amount of training was doing hill sprints, which would be HIT) and track speed work. I endorse wholeheartedly the physiology he discussed here regarding what occurs at different intensity levels. Great, great video!
Great info thanks Dr.
I am T2D & run on a fairly regular basis. Recently did several 4 mile runs & was so confused & e extremely frustrated why my sugar went up 20+ points after my run.
Now I know - cortisol.
Im like you .so what can i do?
Ive been watching your videos for about 4 years .I'm 49. Your voice is soothing and your content is beyond educational, it's life enhancing. Love listening just before sleeping and upon waking.
He knows what he is talking, he is an Olympian. Thanks Dr for the insight.
What about a trampoline? Rebounding?
I appreciate, my aim at reducing my weight by 10kg
I am 54 years old and i admit i all along thought i knew about health not until i listened to your classes.This a total eye opener for me. Every video has something to say about every wrong notion i had about health. I wish i had known these much much earlier.
Great Service you do Doctor. Leading us to Light from Darkness. Love you so much for your selflessness.
Thank you Srinivasan S. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it. The purpose of my channel is to explain things better than other channels and help people understand the principles. Comments like yours makes it all worthwhile.
I been doing HIT for over 40 years. I read a book by an East German trainer in the mid 70s who preached HIT. I used to run. I can't run any more but I changed to lap swimming. One way I swim hard. On the way back I swim slowing to catch my breath. And, repeat a few times.
I only recently started watching this guy. but I must say everything he is saying is speaking to my intellect of what I've been experiencing all my life in terms of "roller coaster" health. I will definitely keep watching.🙂
And notice nobody ever argues everything he says is confirmed by any of the best sources I've looked into
A recent MRI showed fat in pancreas and abnormal liver enzymes. Dr. said see you in 6 months. Found your channel and began your recommendations. I am sleeping through the night, more active through the day, and now have hope for a future. Deepest gratitude and thanks.
Dr Berg, and now Dr Ekberg. You guys are so awsome and knowledgeable. Keep changing our lives for the best
Thank you Dr. Ekberg! I have learned more from you than any of my Dr's that I have had over the years. My current PCP and nutritionist have it all wrong. I just nod my head because when I speak with them about what I have learned they dismiss it. I am on day 6 of IF and low carb along with the aerobic exercise and yoga that I have been doing for a long time and I already have lost 4 lbs and feel so much better. Tomorrow I am going to switch it up and do a 24 hr fast. Thank you so much!
WHAT AN EXPLANATION!!!🎉 Thank you SO much. @64 1/2yrs and just getting back into the gym I'm realizing exactly what I need to do. 🎉❤ Yes, insulin resistance, adrenal fatigue, fatty liver (thank God the liver can rejuvenate itself through diet and exercise)
I also follow your good friend Dr. Eric Berg and have been IF, low to no carb/sugar for 2yrs. I'm a HUGE fan of you both. Eternally grateful for your wisdom 😘
Thanks
Thank You @manjuchowdhury so much for showing your appreciation and supporting the channel, and for helping me get the message of health out to the world. 🙏 🏆 😄
This is the best quality information on weight loss and exercising I've ever seen. Thank you Doc !!
(23:07)" ...there's a difference between fitness and health." Those are words of wisdom that the body has always let one know but most refuse to listen.
I've spent 3 years now pushing iron in the gym and absolutely love it. I'm beginning intermittent fasting and low carb and the transition is rough. Recovery from intense workouts seems to be taking longer and I don't feel quite as strong. I'm only 2 weeks into this and was very carb dominant for decades. So, I guess this is par for the course, and my strength/recovery will improve as I get more fat adapted.
Keep up the good work I spent a lot of time the knowledge Stenn has comes from all the best sources using real science
Good on you, Redfish. I'm 57 and looking to fall into a similar routine, after 5 years away from working-out. Hope that it's not too late for me.
You are awesome Dr. Ekberg! I can’t thank you enough. We are lucky to have you on UA-cam.
May God bless you for all the wonderful work you are doing. Knowing there is a doctor who looks for natural ways to heal the body is so refreshing!
This Doctor is the most informative, truthful and helpful doctor I've ever known. Thank you Dr. Ekberg for your help. You are cherished.
I'm probably the poster child for cortisol 🤪 So glad I found this because I've been trying to figure out what is better given everything. I think I could listen to you all day, always awesome. Thank you!!!!
He's no question a health GURU. Thank you so much, very grateful to you Dr. Sten Ekberg from Gilbert AZ.
Thank You Ferdi DelaPaz. I'm so glad you found it valuable and I appreciate the feedback. 😄
I’m a healthcare professional but learning so much from you. You present accurate information in easy to understand ways. Love your practical advice. Favorite UA-cam channel, binging your videos!
Thank you Dr Ekberg, I’m a new student and I have learnt a lot from you about the body and how it works. Thank you for you service to the humanity.
For HIIT, I like using my row horse! For aerobics, I just strap on a small amount of weight to my legs(5lbs) and hands(2.5lbs), and move them up and down at whatever pace you want while laying on my bed! During my workout, I listen to workout music and do different types of movements for each song. Anyone can do this! There's no stress on your joints and you breath easier too! You can do this exercise anywhere at any time! I do it my the morning.
An incredible wealth of valuable information....thank you!

@@drekberg Thank you for taking the time to reply, I greatly appreciate that. I watch all you advise esp about losing belly fat, my biggest challenge. I am still working hard on eating healthy and doing workout. Keep doing your video Dr Ekberg. We believe in you.
He breaks it down and makes it fun to learn
Im really thankful that I found your channel. I have struggled with my weight for the longest time. When I started following what I learned from your vlogs, I was surprised that after the first 30days, I lost 10 lbs right away!
His voice is so relaxing that I fall asleep halfway to the video at bedtime. My fav channel. Thanks for all the informative videos.
Thank you for this. I acquired an elliptical trainer (I affectionately call it the Hamster Machine) for use during the pandemic. I developed a series of 4 different workouts that I cycle through: 2 are aerobic, one is HIIT, and the third, the one I always hated the most, you have just taught me is counterproductive (around 70-80% for an hour, always a struggle to finish). So now I have a good reason to "fix" that workout, and probably enjoy it more.
Just discovered your teachings and is like I discovered a treasure .Thank you ,you teach so similar to my father's teachings
Me too. He’s just wonderful isn’t he. So much fact. So beautifully presented.
謝謝！
Thank You @steve680703 so much for showing your appreciation and supporting the channel, and for helping me get the message of health out to the world. 🙏 🏆 😄
another incredibly informative video from Doc Ekberg, explained in his detailed, yet amazing, way. He is pure nutrition and health gold! Thanks again, Doc!
Just finished my 48-hour fasting now, planning for a 72-hour fasting. It's amazing. I did a fast walk while fasting for 45mnts. Remember to take enough water to avoid cramps and a slight headache. Thanks, doc.
Thank you so much for this video. I wish these fundamental truths were taught to children and young adults. It is a shame that at 72 I am learning the basics of how to exercise and what the benefits are. I think the world would be a happier place if people understood how to manage their minds and bodies. Thank you agan.
Dr Ekberg is indeed a wonderful teacher.
One of the most helpful video on YT! Thank you so much for explaining it so well, Dr. Ekberg! 🙏🏽
Thank you Asmah K. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it. I try to give the larger more holistic picture in all my videos.
So well.
Just amazing! I play tennis often and continue to be overweight. I kept telling my tennis buddy's something was a miss and now I know why! Thank you!
Dr Ekberg you are amazingly knowledgeable and so good at imparting this information to us. I have been listening to your videos and finally am able to put it all together in my head and put it to practice. Over the last three months I’ve incorporated fasting from 2 meals a day to omad now and very low carb except for broccoli and leafy greens. I’ve been strength training 3-4 times a week just for about 10 min or so. I’ve been walking at an aerobic rate daily. I’ve been doing kettle bell swings for hitt but just for about 3-4 minutes to get growth hormone and keep cortisol low. Rest of the time it’s all aerobic. Recently I heard your talk on slamming down the weighted ball as being the best for hiit so I’ve started doing that. I feel amazing I’ve lost 20 lbs in 3 months and I’ve done it all in the most healthy way possible according to your videos and I am so grateful. I cannot understand how no other doctor seems to have this knowledge much less help their patients get healthier. I am trying yo share all this with people in my life and it’s not easy. If doctors don’t fully understand hormones and metabolism then it’s surely difficult to expect the general public to get it. I’m a pharmacist and I cringe at all the medications we dispense out especially insulin with utter disregard for long term damage it’s causing. I’ve been meaning to thank you every single day…you are helping millions of metabolically unhealthy people and you deserve the Nobel prize for your noble work. You are indeed a gem and one in a 7 billion!
I agree that he is very humble man who offers these useful information for free. God bless him.
I've always instinctively thought aerobics classes etc felt wrong, too stressful on my body. Thank you Dr Ekberg. Now I know how help improve my 66 year old self .
Thank you Dr. Ekberg for your easy to understand videos. I've started jogging lately at a rather slow pace (7:00m/km) but I always find my heart rate in the 180s and 190s. By the time I finish a run I usually feel energetic enough to run another kilo and I don't feel any soreness or fatigue the next day, nor have I ever felt dizzy or collapsed. I am 32 years old. I have lost 35+ kg over the past 7 months on a low carb diet and intermittent fasting. My A1C was 5.2 last time I checked down from 9.0 back in November 2018, without any medication. I would appreciate it if you could shed some light on why my heart rate would skyrocket after rather moderate exercise. Thank you again.
I'd like to know as well, i have exactly always had the same problem. Even after a year of constant Jogging 3-4 times per week up to 10k, slowly increased to that distance, my Heartrate never slew down.
I would get an ECG to make sure
there are no words that I can think about to show you how much I appreciate your videos, I was diagnosed with Diabetes type 2 and I was so confused trying to understand what am I supposed to do, you came like an angel to save me.
Thanks Doc, great info. Here learning by myself, because finding doctors like you in real life is mission impossible lol
I lost 26 lbs. doing OMAD. I have also restarted my running. I have regained what I considered my minimal health. I am doing what I thought was just a fantasy less than 3 months ago. This is all thank to videos from people like Dr. Ekberg.
Wow, that discussion about aerobic vs anaerobic exercise was FANTASTIC! That really opened my eyes! Thank you!

@Aubrey, a few years ago, I read some experts opinion on extreme exercising and he said 'you only have so many heartbeats in your lifetime, so why work so hard trying to use them all up'! Kinda scary, but I guess it makes sense.
Dr. Ekberg I am so grateful for your free information on health. I've been working out for 43 years. I am 58. The past year I've been doing push-ups, body weight squats and bw rows with a pole in the doorway 3-4 sets in a circuit training method. I will give your hiit a try with bodyweight or dumbbells/resistance bands. Thank you
Thank you Sir for sharing this information. This will help us to maintain everything. My husband is really having a hard time controlling his sugar. I will surely apply this information.
Thank you Smitley THE SCRATCHINCARDS. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it.
A complete education in a single video presentation... Thank you sir
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I finally got the info I need. At 73 I'm pain and meds-free so must be doing things right generally. But couldn't get good information on exercise.
Elizabeth K- I can relate to you. I am a bit younger than you and appreciate this information on how to exercise properly. I have an exercise bike, but not interested in a spin class! The bike will monitor my heart rate. I like to use that in bad weather and get outside when I can. But I'm concentrating on dropping some weight in a healthy way before I put too much stress on my body. Yoga and stretching are a kind way for me to start with a low carb diet.
