THANK YOU!!! This is an EXCELLENT presentation! -- I have been practicing IF for 3 years. I NEVER gain weight when I eat one meal a day, particularly if I consume the meal within a 1 hour time frame.I consume sugar almost every day. I LOSE weight (too quickly) when I don't consume some form of sugar (glucose) with that 1 hour meal. My energy is good, not great. But when I fast for 24+ hours, my energy is amazingly restored and highly increased after 72 hours. And my memory skills improve exponentially. I don't fast more than 3 or 4 times per year. I have ZERO pain or inflammation, despite being an ice skater for 10+ years in my teens and 20s. - I am considering returning to the rink.
My really good friend is 55, female, morbidly obese (was over 300 pounds), type 2 diabetes, asthmatic, severe sleep apnea. She is on a medically monitored low carbohydrate whole food diet (no processed food). In the past year, she has lost 81 pounds, has reduced daily medications from 10 to 4 medications, and most happily, has reduced the need to take insulin dramatically. She has gone from taking ~6 insulin shots per day to 1-3 shots per day, sometimes only needing one shot at night before going to bed.
One lady from Finland did low carb 6yrs has CKD or kidney disease and type 1 diabetic, then she went onto raw vegan diet (Im not a vegan) she is now in remission, look at the numbers before and after vegan raw diet 8 months (6yrs low carb) Albumin/Creatinine Ratio 290 mg/mmol 37 mg/mmol 24-hour urine protein 4.7 g 0.5 g Fasting glucose 126 mg/dL 80 mg/dL Cholesterol 267 mg/dL 112 mg/dL HDL 66 mg/dL 50 mg/dL LDL 201 mg/dL 43 mg/dL Triglycerides 106 mg/dL 95 mg/dL Blood pressure 150/100 mm Hg 102/75 mm Hg Weight 122 lbs 118 lbs Carbohydrates 25 g/day 200 g/day Fat 50 g/day 10 g/day
Incredibly profound yet ' simple' summation on managing health , diet & genes for optimally ingesting food stuffs,--and WHY! Thank you again, UCSF from an aged UCSF Alum.
Dr. Koliwad seems to have an encyclopaedic command of his specialty. Very impressive indeed. Very informative and useful to me personally. Thank you, Dr. Koliwad.
This makes total sense. I have been lucky, grew up in the sixties, that I never liked soft drinks and balked at the low fat ideas in the 80s. As soon as I was out of my parents house, went back to butter!! Never been more than a couple pounds overweight. And I still enjoyed dessert fairly often and drank more than my share of alcohol in the form of wine mostly. Its the soft drinks and preprocessed foods that have caused the obesity problem, no doubt about it. You look at the average American today and they are so not healthy. Just look at family photos from the sixties. People were very slim in those days. Soft drinks were around, but was not consumed like it is today. Plus was made with real sugar vs high fructose corn syrup. There's the culprit. Fructose.
A remarkable 21st century dynamic overview on nutrition science. The genetic component introduction was a great foundation for what followed. Evidence based and in depth detail.
Good except he recommends less red meat and more veg. Therefore less satisfaction and worse nutrient absorption which is wrong advice for overweight people.
This was absolutely superb. Soooo rich in solid information. It verifies/validates my own 'lifestyle choices'. (I just have to work harder at extending my IF 'endurance'.)
THIS IS GREAT! However, we've established the diet is extremely important and the recommendation of foods, but no mention of the Registered Dietitian. Please recognize that there is a specialty for this area and RDs are needed to help the population make improvements in their health.
Dr Morse is the only way to go. His knowledge doesn't out-date and change. These nutritionists confuse the fook out of something that is so simple to understand. It's all about diet not geno-types.
The difference between the US & Mexico Pima is genetically modified foods & corn syrup processed foods. It's not just the Pima it's all of us. Just look at how lean & fit all people where in the 1970's & how fat we all are now.
I was a grade-school child in the 60s and a teen in the 70s. The difference between then and now is astounding. Somehow I managed to escape it -- I've been thin all my life while everyone else got fatter.
I am a lean 66, but I was dx with prediabetes. Even though I know even non-obese people can get diabetes, I was confident in my health. I had the greatest disappointment. Definitely, my condition leans to a genetic component. DM2 runs on my mom's side, she was also dx prediabetic but is doing fine now, my younger sister and older brother are diabetics. In order to remain from becoming diabetic, I am doing daily 16/8 and once a week 24/8. I have lost about 10 lbs in less than 3 months. I also exercise daily for about an hour. My diet is no more than 50 carbs a day with some fat, plenty of fiber, and proteins, and I choose two meals a day to prevent losing too much weight. This presentation has confirmed my concern. I am small and thin; losing too much weight can affect my health. So my diet is only partially keto. Once I get my A1C to return to normal, I will tweak my diet to 3 fastings 18/8 a week, and keep everything else the same. So much to learn.
@Nora Limiting to 50 carbs is a great start, but you may need to go lower. Try 30, then 20 or under. Fiber is contraindicated, carbs are also unneeded.
But also wrong, the keto message shows only one side, did you know in China kids on the Keto diet died? One threw himself out of a tall building, low carb type diets also have been shown to increase all cause mortality, Im not a vegan BUT ... when dealing with humans we will most of the time be dealing with skewed information.
@@SciSciToys What's funny is your ignorance. Ketosis is by far the best state the body can achieve and Fasting is the most powerful tool we have to heal ourselves and remain healthy. Keto is certainly the best diet there is, since it promotes both fasting due to increased saciety and ketosis. Also, it is one of the few diets that has NO flaws AT ALL, since literally you don't eat ANYTHING that is bad for your body (carbohydrates, sugar, vegetable oils, alcohol, low fat products, etcetera). Keto and Fasting do the opposite of what you just said: They lower your risk of getting pretty much every metabolic disease. Tremendously. Skewed information? That is exactly what is done with financed studies and with all the misinformation there is when it comes to protecting Highly processed and refined products, like Sugar, for these are the things that make us sick and make us waste thousands in medicine and doctors. The only misinformation there is around Keto and Fat and Fasting is the one that implies these things are bad and that you should eat Carbohydrates because they're the base of the Food Pyramid. Oops no, sorry, in your fantasy world they promote it as healthy because in reality it kills children and increases risk of all causes of mortality? Wow, that is amazing, I'd have never thought that! So weird that most of my family and friends love to eat their daily dose of Sugar, along with some Fast Food, Processed and Refined Carbohydrates, Vegetable Oils and Margarine, yet they still remain obese and many of them have chronic metabolic disease. They must be some weird exception, Oh I'm sure of it. So am I, who have been on Keto for years and somehow am Fit and healthy. Such is life, I guess; I'm lucky.
@@agustinfodrini Facts are facts, people have died on Keto Diet, it seems to be harmful long-term, some MAY be okay and you may be that person, but we are not all the same, there is no one size fits all diet, natural ketosis is different from dietary induced ketosis, dont even go there, they are NOT the same, you can only trick the body shirt term, longterm it knows what you are doing, in a study 6month Keto vs 5 days fasting and rest of time med diet THRASHED the keto diet in health markers of participants. You assume there is no other option but to eat shit processed foods and white sugar, this is called a junk food diet, this is like a vegan comparing meat eating and saying that their diet would beat a diet of kfc and mcdonalds (junk foods) Oils and fats like coconut oil are PROCESSED foods, and NOT natural, if you lived in nature in a forest where would you obtain all those fats? You wouldnt be able to obtain 75% fat and so this tells you its a manmade diet to cheat your body into doing something that it does when there is no food, i.e. fast. Keto Diet as opposed to lets say Med way of eating, IS and actual diet, i.e. has been used in a clinical setting to treat sick children this is how we know of the detrimental affects, Med diet is a lifestyle. How many keto guys lived to 100? Zero.
While this talk is pointing positively to the fact that diet and microbiome changes can improve health and even reverse chronic conditions, the research presented is pointing to a potential 'pharma fix', i.e. a drug to fix your bad diet for you instead of making healthy lifestyle changes of your own. It would be most interesting to speculate that the food industry is funding research to find a 'pill' to fix things so that they can continue to sell you crap food at a massive profit so the drug industry can sell you the fix when all that is needed is an effort on your own part to make a change in dietary intake without drugs. While government subsidies continue to favour the appeasement of large corporates and push smaller ethical farming practices out of business thereby increasing there stranglehold and control of the market system, you will have less opportunities to make changes yourself. They bleed you dry from both directions in the name of profit and not health on behalf of their shareholders, of which you may be one via your pension scheme. Dr. Koliwad's work is indeed ground breaking but it also shows you do not need any pharmaceutical intervention to make significant changes in your health, by his own very words a change to a wholefood plant based regime without any refined oils or sugars and the outcome can be the same without any side effects. Pay the 'Farmer' and not the 'Pharma'. This rabbit hole shows there is a major cancer in the way the whole industry is structured and promoted via government lobbying so it ain't going to change any time soon and by offering you an easy fix pill to save you all the trouble and hassle of having to change the way you live for yourself, the status quo can be maintained. Bravo Dr. Suneil Koliwad, you have shown us the light so instead of us waiting for a pharma fix we just need to make an effort for ourselves and eat the rainbow. Change is going to have to start from the ground up with the power of our wallets. I know I will be flamed for this so go ahead, keep your head in the sand instead of thinking and researching for yourself cos I'm one fireproof bitch. Have a great day :-)
Orange juice is soooo rich in fructose it's considered 'bad' for you. For this reason I've switched to APPLE JUICE in the morning and at any other time. So, yep, sorry, steer clear of the Tropicana when you go shopping and slide over to the apple juice area and even the pomegranate area!
I think the processing makes fructose more of a problem, but not by making fructose "worse". Rather, in it's natural sources, it's relatively low in concentration, and present with significant fiber to slow absorption. When processed, be it simply by juicing, or refining into sugar, you greatly increase the amount of fructose available to be consumed, and do so in the absence of fiber, which greatly concentrates the "load" on the liver. Perhaps it's best thought of in terms of dosage. Natural sources are a low dose. Refined Fructose sources make harmfully high doses possible.
@@oibal60 Even better, avoid processed juices and manufactured liquids of all kinds. Eat the real foods, the whole foods, and you will get complete nutrition with zero adverse side-effects. Eat apples rather than processed apple-juice. Eat real oranges rather than orange-juice. Avoid juicers and juicing altogether. If you are going to have smoothies at all, use the whole food, including all the fibres and edible seeds and skins.
I really think that vegetable fats are bad because of the way they are processed. If the manufacturer uses hexane, or other cancer causing agent in order to separate the oil, What do you think?
Correct. Avoid all manufactured foods and oils. Eat the original, natural whole foods: e.g., raw nuts, raw seeds, fresh fruits, fresh vegetables, whole grains, peas, beans, and ground-foods. These things are easily recognisable and need no food-labels or list of ingredients. So simple, so cheap, and so sustainable!
Thank you for this most impactful video! I live in America of Asian decent (Philippines). Do you think it will be beneficial if I go home to Asia in order to replenish my microbiome? What about just buying and eating all organic veggies, fruits from the US? Or, does it have anything to do with the soil where the plants are grown? Thanks!
If you can get organic food from your local grocery def do so. Going home could help, or visiting similar climate for example maybe going to Florida or the US virgin Islands. So could modifying the diet so it reflects something close to what you'd eat at home. Or eating macrobiotic and eating only what grows In season where you are currently residing, and adding I'm some of those tropical or summer fruits but eating them dried instead of fresh or frozen. There's really no one single right way to approach this. Yes the quality of the soil most definitely makes a difference In the quality and nutrition value of the food we eat.
Those are very good questions to consider. Wherever you live, you can search for those who are growing local foods safely and organically. Moreover, you can plant whatever you can grow in and around your home, patio, balcony, roof-top, or backyard, et cetera. Some places have very little space, but you can always use plant-pots or plant-boxes and create micro-gardens. Even a few herbs are awesome additions to your diet when you pick anything safe and green and nutritious straight from the tree/plant! [smile] You can also start a movement to organise a few neighbours to develop a community garden. Each one contributes labour and then everyone shares in the bounty. Many hands make light work. Plus many fruit-trees, herbs and vegetables need very little attention any way.
@@loryndabenson2118 Yes, I definitely second the recommendation to spend more time in warmer climates, including Florida (for those stuck in the U.S.A.) and the Caribbean (my all-time favourite).
[1] Not fat compared with what? Given that most of the population is overweight and a large number of people are obese, it is easy to under-estimate one's degree of excessive weight and/or body-fat and fluid-retention. E.g., A Body Mass Index of 24 is very close to 25, which is an early warning of overweight . . . just as blood-pressure reading of 120 / 80 is a threshold for pre-hypertension. It is better to be lower down these scales than close to the warning lines. Being less overweight does not mean being healthy, which includes not being overweight at all . . . .
[2] More importantly, are you paying attention to your dietary patterns? E.g., are you avoiding added sugar, added salt, processed flour, processed oils, and overprocessed carbohydrates? These all create addictions and disrupt blood-sugar, metabolism, blood-pressure, and damage organs . . . .
[3] Secondly, are you avoiding or minimising the intake of animal-based proteins? The lack of dietary fibre + saturated fat + high acidity = disruption of the body's optimal alkaline pH balance . . . .
[4] Thirdly, are you avoiding dairy products? These are major hormonal disruptors. Hint: a cow's milk is designed to transform a 90-pound calf into a 2,000-pound adult in two years; by contrast, human milk is designed to transform an 8-pound baby into a 16-pound adult over 20 years. That is a huge difference of speed, scale, and impact!
The key is to avoid all forms of ADDED sugars or other sweeteners. The manufactured ones are even worse than the natural ones, but all ADDED sugars, ADDED salt, ADDED caffeine, et cetera, are best avoided. The natural sugars in fresh fruits and vegetables, for example, always come in a wonderful package of whole foods: living water + beneficial oils + vitamins + minerals + dietary fibre + proteins + carbohydrates. The edible skins and seeds add even more fibre and nutrients.
Yes, the book of Genesis and the book of Revelation, for starters. [smile] A whole-foods, plant-based diet provides complete nutrition in low-cost, high-quality forms that do not come from a factory or a laboratory. Best of all, grow more of what you eat, and eat more of what you (or persons that you know well) grow . . . safely, sustainably, organically.
The phenotype is transcribed during the birthing process. Are the Pima experiencing obesity having their babies in sterile hospitals and therefore having limited microbiome transfer? Have you done investigation about birthing practices changes between the two regions and its effects on the health of the children?
Obesity ITSELF is not a link to the diseases that we once thought were linked to obesity, Obese individuals can actually be healthy, obese and non-diabetic.
Excellent information well presented. The fact that heterogeneous reactions occur for specific foods like for example tomatos and dramatically alter blood sugar levels in some is fascinating.
Now, how do I get a prescription for EPA? Will cutting fruits , especially high fructose tree fruits, reduce my LDL? My BMI is 24 but my lipids are putting me at cardiovascular risk at age 72.
I have been vegan for 3 years now. Age 70. My cholesterol rose steadily over that time until I finally sought help. My triglycerides were very high and the advice was to cut way way back on fruit. In 1 month I dropped 50 points by eating only berries as fruit part of my diet. Did nothing for my elevated LDL, but brought my HDL from 45 to 50. BTW, I appear to be a small group of vegans plagued by this response to their vegan diet. It is uncommon and very annoying to us. It does not appear to be a function of too much refined starch, such as flours since we are all on a flour-free type of vegan diet. I responded well to no fruit other than berries (no added sugars).
@@elizabethfletcher1487 The fructose in fruit goes directly from stomach to liver through the portal vein. Your liver can hold only so much sugar, than straight to fat. If you over burden your liver you will gain fat, and risk a fatty liver. If you have insulin in your blood for too much of a 24 hour day, think of it as a ratio of insulin per day. If you eat anything you get about 2-3 hours of insulin in your blood. If you eat one meal a day that’s 3 hours of insulin out of a 24 hour day (15% of your 24 hr day). If you can lessen insulin exposure per day with intermittent fasting, you can become much more insulin sensitive and tune up your metabolism to resemble a thin teenager’s metabolism. I also think as they age people need to eat more protein or risk losing muscle mass. 4 eggs is a good amount of protein for an older women. I believe lean and strong creates the greatest chance for a long health span.
Thank you to all who responded to my remark. I cut all fruits to berries, one serving a day only, switched over to include grass fed lamb, once a week, wild caught salmon or other fatty fish 1-2 times a week and an intermittent fasting routine of 20/4 and brought FBG down from 128 to 97 this morning. One day last week it was as low as 89 but also another day it was 110 when I overate almonds in a late nite snack. Watching lots of UA-cam gurus for fasting and some say studies show high HDL correlates with longer lifespan, not with heart disease and early death. One of the reasons I love these University of California seminars is that evidence is scholarly and reliable. Is it true that high LDL is NOT associated with coronary disease?
Insane how I thought about that first too. I’m real slim but I worry for obese folk who are doing all the right things. Glyphosate seems to be the thing that tips them over the edge. Sad.
Thank you. You have connected a lot of dots. I am apple shape adipose, diabetic, hi bloodpressure etc. The whole show. My question is: i wonder if my hepatitis in early years have made my liver vulnerable. I ask because my diet is excellent according to your advice. Ah im on metformin
It's all about personal fat threshold. Those with the genetic ability to form new fat cells, get fatter. Those without that ability get metabolically sicker. Energy that is not properly stored in the body is toxic.
If you really want to restrict calorie intake you will have to conserve calorie expenditure. Will this work? I mean decreasing the amount of exercising.
No. You can eat more calories in 5 minutes than what most people would burn in 1 hour of exercise. No amount of exercise can replace a bad diet. On the other hand, walking and daily wholesome physical activity are essential to a long and healthy life. Being sedentary kills!
i must watch this again so i can understand a little bit more. not all because its becoming complicated :) btw, i'm taking glucare 750 and trajenta 5mg...
I understand the focus on diet. But don't forget the massive change in how much people move these days. A large part of the population sits all day, drives to work to sit there and drive back. Back in the day people burned hundreds of calories more and build muscle plus got cardio just living their lives. Nowadays most people have to go to a gym to get any kind of activity due to the world around them being redesigned for cars, instead of walking and biking to where you need to go. Going from a semi a little active lifestyle to sedentary is a difference of 400 calories at least. The difference for 400 calories per day less burning through activity is gaining 41 pounds of fat per year. People can focus on just the food and carbs, but the lack of physical activity is still the elephant in the room.
I would want to know if Pima Indians and the other society of Pima Indians are vaccinated as babies or older. Anything at all that could interfere with a body's natural immunity should be taken into account. Not just the environment
1:12:24 he talks about weightloss on Keto and this happen on all diets, he fails to mention that Glycogen is heavy, and uses WATER when all glycogen stores are used up you WILL lose weight, he does touch on the dangers slightly i.e. diabetic acidosis but also there are people who cannot go into ketosis and carbs then do actually become essential. Keto diets can harm the kidneys and so he did say the right thing, CKD patients who did Ramadan fasting were studied and their kidneys did fail faster.
@@stanleyniezrecki2469 I think the problem may be that the study didnt tease out other lifestyle changes that definitely can help or have been shown to help in healing for example exercise, meditation or stress reduction, therapy or group meetings that they had etc,and so by doing just the diet on its own they could come to the conclusion that diet alone was successful, this seems to me the only sticking point, it may be that the diet was 90% responsible for the healing or 20% thats maybe what they refer to?
@@stanleyniezrecki2469 There was a study though were Keto went head to head with 5 day fast and then 6 month med diet which was heavily plant based, the fast and med diet thrashed 6 months of full keto :)
@@SciSciToys Not surprisingly: almost any thoughtful diet will produce short-term results. Only a whole-foods, plant-strong diet has been proven to be sustainable both for excellent health and longevity, and for the environment and the planet.
Prof Ben Bickman said that the adipose tissue of those individuals with the capacity to grow more cells(hyperplasia)can be virtually morbidity obese and still be metabollically healthy. Genetics do play a role in this for sure but generally everyone can benefit from a diet low in starchy food, no sugar, no fructose and by eliminating vegetable oils from your diet.
Yes, but all in balance. Smaller portions of a range of whole foods, rather than large portions of anything. Complex carbohydrates rather than processed carbohydrates. The whole foods from plant-sources automatically give us a balance of the best kinds of fats, proteins, carbohydrates, fibre, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other protective phytochemicals. E.g., peas, beans, raw nuts, raw seeds, fresh fruits, fresh vegetables, ground-foods, whole grains. These are the real foods: you can easily recognise them and they do not need a food-label or a list of ingredients since nothing has been added (or removed) by Man.
You are perfectly correct. By definition, overweight is a disease; obesity is morbid overweight. One is just a slower death than the other, but both are fatal diseases of overconsumption, poor absorption of nutrients, and chemical imbalances.
I didn't understand the relevance of the Pima Indians example. Suneil's key point is that people exposed to the same environmental factors do not end up with the same results, while the two Pima Indians populations have very different environmental factors - one is in a resource rich sedentary environment, and the other is in a resource poor active environment.
I think the point was with a similar genetic make up, Pima Indians in a different environment will get fat and diabetic too. It’s not genes it’s predominantly the environment that creates metabolic dysfunction, fatty liver disease and eventually type 2 diabetes and early death. Epigenetics turns genes on an off, diet and activity level are epigenetic and determine health span.
I had a different problem with that first example: Why would a lack of education and a low socioeconomic status result in a sedentary lifestyle for Pima Indians in the US? That needs more careful explanation. Are they all unemployed? Otherwise, without education they'd be doing physically demanding jobs like gardening, cleaning, construction, harvesting crops, etc. The speaker with an advanced education has an extremely sedentary job.
Yes, in other words, our daily choices and habits (e.g., what we eat, what we drink, how we cook, how much walking we do daily) are far more important than genetics alone. Indeed, a diverse range of whole foods from plant-sources turns off the bad genes and activates the ones that produce longevity and excellent health. That is why twins can be tracked over decades and, simply by having a better diet, one can be younger-looking and healthier than the genetically identical sibling. Likewise, studies have shown that Black Americans tend to have a poor diet that leads to obesity, hypertension and diabetes. The genetically identical source-populations in Africa do not have these diseases so long as they do not follow the same bad American habits. If it were genetic, they would all have the same health-outcomes no matter where they went in the world. The enormous disparities in health-indicators clearly demonstrate that it is not genetic, but lifestyles,
On one hand he's demonizing fructose in favor of high glycemic index glucose, then he goes on to demonize finer milled grains for having roughly 10% higher glycemic index (read the actual data table, not a huge difference). Fructose is bad, ok chief I'll eat less fruit and more glucose polymer type grains. Glucose based wonderbread over fructose based fruits. Can anyone resolve what I see as a bit contradictory here?
We ate wonder bread for the y Toy in the bag.. People have forgotten. It was like Cracker Jack's there was always a joke card or something for kids in the bottom of the bag..
Yeh I remember in the UK we had similar, as kids I loved the ice-cream which had a bubble gum at the bottom of the plastic cone, and inside crisp packets we had toys ad inside cereal boxes, man I forgot that
Lol vegetables are mostly toxic with antinutrients, their own natural pesticides and not to mention manmade pesticides. Animals are what all of our ancestors ate no matter what region of the world and by far contain the most nutrients/least toxicities
Thank you for this explanation this was so great! I am not a native speaker and sometimes I have to say I have a hard time understanding big scientific words and following processes but your way is presenting it was excellent. Thank you, Koszonom!
Not necessarily as soon as you deplete your glycogen stores and have not added new glucose you are in ketosis. Think a long sleep or skipping breakfast.
You can easily switch to having ketones as a energy source, IF you have metabolic flexibility. However, I believe you are confusing "being in ketosis" with producing ketones. The former does take time but you are producing substantially higher ketone levels. The later is an individual who produces higher ketone levels than less metabolically flexible people to meet energy needs. This person could actually see levels of ketones after fasting that meet "nutritional ketosis" levels (0.5 mM) but would move out of that range as they consumed their daily meals.
Circumstantially, depending on metabolic health. A healthy metabolism can make the transition in a matter of hours. I (when initially attempting a ketogenic diet) needed three days, and it felt like I was sick, sluggish, drugged, until day 3 when things finally switched. Insulin doesn't fall instantly, and serious insulin resistance takes a long while since insulin is at the limit of what your pancreas can handle). Stick with it. 90lbs gone.
It seems to me he's making this too complicated. Didn't we all already learn from the fecal transplant studies proving impeerically the key to good health starts and ends with our digestive system microbiome. Without exception every diabetes patient has dysbiosis in their digestive tract.
The Jim Fix anomalies what the hell went wrong there ? Risks higher amounts of carbohydrates vs fat ,protein + stressors + other factors the brain gene disposition etc so what happened with the famous runner ? So what can we do ,us oatmeal ok ?

Well done, Fatty Liver can reversed if you reduce weight by 10%, also by eating liver healing veggies and some lean meats (Methionine restriction gave Fatty Liver in mice studies) This all depends on the environment that Fatty Liver finds itself in, Beets, and other liver friendly foods are BAD for the kidneys and so if you have a kidney problem you have to limit them. Apple cider vinegar supposed to be good for reducing Fat in the liver but what if you have GERD or Histamine Intolerance then you cant drink it. How did you heal your problems including Fatty Liver?
@@SciSciToys I reduced carbs,; especially all refined carbs completely- within a week all my gut problem began to resolve, my sugar cravings disappeared…..it’s a lifestyle for me now
@@kathrynnewton8721 Im having to reduce carbs and other veggies cause of Histamine Intolerance but I also have fatty liver and gallbladder polyps so maybe its a blessing in disguise, mind you I have to say it got boring very quickly, maybe Im still addicted to my carb treats like a gluten free toast with some honey, potatoes, pasta, rice, although i do eat a little basmati rice, I need to have some carbs, whats you typical days meals look like?
@@SciSciToys it’s a journey for sure, I went off all carbs, (anything white!) and within a week I had no bloating, no indigestion, no cravings and couldn’t believe the improvement, I’ve been doing it for 8 years now and not ever going back….. it’s radical at first, but it’s got to be a lifestyle not a diet. Im now a health educator (vast nursing background) helping a friend who weighed 156 kg (350lbs) and she is now 118 kg going strong……
@@kathrynnewton8721 The only problem I fear with eating so much meat, from 5% to 95% of my diet at the moment to heal my gut or avoid more damage (SIBO, leaky gut - gluten and dairy intolerance and now with SIBO/Histamine intolerance) I wish to go back to a mainly vegan diet after this meat fast, lol. Meat and its connection to Cancer? definitely its connection to kidney health, i.e. to end stage kidney disease, my theory is that we all have kidney disease and on a trajectory to stage 5 or end stage kidney failure cause egfr naturally dwindles as we age and at 10 its dialysis time and transplantation isnt far off and then how long does that transplanted kidney last? By babying the kidneys for as long as possible we dont get them to wear out, what wears out the kidneys? I think oxidatve stress, Glycation, PRAL or acid load, obesity etc and eating meat or animal foods puts a strain on those kidneys, more so than plant proteins cause they are superior, phosphorous from plants also isnt well absorbed as animal origin which in this case is a good thing, I think the best diet for extending life is to go vegan and supplement with amino acids like keto acids that dont injure the kidneys or shall i say tax the kidneys. Its funny though how some foods that are good for the lIver like beets, isnt good for the kidneys, vegan docs like Dr Greger in one of his videos mentions methionine restriction and how this pathway, mTOR etc helps with longevity and yet studies showed that mice that were restricted of Methionine developed Fatty Liver, ouch!! Its definitely not a perfect science and Im no perfect scientist or anything ;)

Overall, our human body is a system of systems. What causes disease? What causes system failure or a cascading system failure? If you look at common denominators of all the food intake, eliminating sugars, refined or manufactured foods and manufactured seed/vegetable oils, moderating high glycemic foods (all environmental). I firmly believe that if these common denominators were eliminated, our disease rates would absolutely plummet. This should be a standard intervention and the basis of our ISDA guidelines. Hyperglycemia and the mitochondrial damage that is borne out from the manufactured foods and sugars starts at the cellular level . When nerves, cells, and tissue damage accumulates , we then have disease. As for bread, it should not be processed, with out seed oils, or over milked. That said, don’t you think the starches should be minimally digested? The function of food in hyperinulinemia .the ancient Egyptians we known as bread eaters. They did not have highly milled breads, but used lots of honey, whole grains and it was the a large part of their diet. They died young from teeth rot, cardiovascular disease and heart failure with diabetes. I eat as close to nature as possible, carb rates well under 100.. often the only carbs are from high fiber low glycemic vegetables. Too much fructose too high of a glycemic index and those evil over tilting of the Omega 6 (note not eliminating it by natural food) from seed and vegetable oils.
@4:32 I’ve done many deep dives over many yrs on genetics and disease and first I (myself) heard a science/medical prof’l say this outside university classrooms. Time to move away from ‘diet’ labels to sell books/headlines and focus on unbiased science incl non corp/for profit funding sources to guarantee objectivity. Reality is even govt/tax payer funded studies not protected from (even arms length) influence due to powerful lobbyists/donors. I’m not sure why any involved would deny this. Edit: 26:24 wow and are some statin drugs also not a risk for T2D? 1:00:51 future study to compare Mediterranean vs one by blue zones Loma Linda, Okinawa and Sardinia?
This is going to be an odd comment... I was an electrician working construction to build the first ( and 2nd and 3rd) UCSF buildings in this complex (in the 90s) and had to endure animal rights protesters harrassment and vandals ( rocks thrown at me , tires slashed, etc) and i feel the abuse was well worth the studies and discoveries made from this entity. Thank you for this information.. it both terrifies me and gives hope.
Great lecture. I believe I may know why transplanted microbiota doesn't take though. It's an organism, not a drug, you need to feed it. So sustained dietary change would be necessary for the microbiome to be permanently changed.
You don't have to use a Dexa scan to know someone's visceral fat content, just take a fasting insulin and if it's >5, that person has surpassed their personal fat threshold and is becoming insulin resistant.
I have to disagree. I am not fat at 125, 5'3, and 66 years old, bikini flat belly. All my labs besides A1C were normal including cholesterol and liver function, no cardio issues at all. At this moment, I am 116lb and refusing to lose any more weight. This is the case of one size does not fit all. We, humans, look alike, but our bodies behave differently. Good health to you always!
@@200Nora If your A1C is abnormal, so is your basal insulin. The insulin levels rise first, then the A1C. Always in that order. I don't know your ethnicity, but many ethnic groups have very limited energy storage capacity, and become insulin resistant and type 2 diabetic at a very low body weight.
@@200Nora You're clearly fit and and almost certainly haven't exceeded your personal fat threshold, but your stats and labs haven't refuted Merrie's claim. Even with the assumption that you have a low/healthy level of visceral fat , to refute her claim you'd need to tell us that you had your fasting insulin measured and it was above 5. Is your doctor treating you as a type 2 patient? Have you had insulin and/or c-peptide measured? Asking because it's not uncommon for doctors to misdiagnose late onset type 1 (aka LADA) as type 2.
@@chaz6399 No, I am not fully diabetic; I am pre-diabetic A1C 5.8. Otherwise, everything else is good. If it was not because of that, I will be in excellent if not perfect health. I always practice a moderate way of eating and avoid processed and refined sugars. That's why I am confused. No, dr did not get my insulin number only A1C and fasting which was 90mg/dl. I am working on returning to a sensitive insulin state. No medications, I am doing intermittent fasting with 2 meals a day, not keto but lowered my carbs further. It seems to working, but I will not know for sure until my next lab in two more weeks. Wish me luck.
@@200Nora Interesting. It would be most helpful if you could get a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) for a month to see exactly when your blood sugar is going high and for how long. Of course your doctor needs to cooperate and it would be expensive because your situation is not severe enough for insurance to cover it. A good alternative is to get an inexpensive meter and test yourself, especially after meals, to see how high the sugar goes. It's very common for glucose to peak 45 to 60 minutes after eating. If you can avoid/minimize these post-meal spikes it will help a lot. There's a YT channel called "Beat Diabetes", that discusses this approach in great detail. I highly recommend it. Also, everyone talks about the benefit of exercise, but I rarely hear anyone talking about the benefit of exercise immediately following a meal. If you eat a meal with carbs and immediately go on a 30 minute walk your blood sugar will not go nearly as high. This is because when you're exercising the muscles can take up glucose regardless of insulin level and insulin sensitivity, and the effect can be dramatic. Imagine the following 2-day experiment: Day 1: Eat 50 grams of carbs at lunch and then sit at your desk and work for the next hour. At the 60 minute mark measure your glucose. Glucose may be 180 mg/dL. Day 2: At the same time of day, eat the same meal with 50 grams of carbs, but this time immediately go for a 30 minute walk after the meal. For the next 30 minutes do whatever you like, and then measure glucose at the 60 minute mark. Glucose will be much lower than the day before! Exactly how much lower it will be depends on the person, but for someone that has high post-meal glucose it could easily be 40 to 60 points lower or more. I can't say this will work for everyone, but that's the beauty of having your own glucose meter. You can try it and prove to yourself what works for you and what doesn't. Best of luck to you in getting your A1C down.

I truly wish diet alone and optimal nutrition fixed everything. I feel wonderful off sugar, most carbs. Far too many are not and will not give up what they want and like. No matter what happens. When humans are in middle of anything: saying no I csnt have that, no I can't do that is often lost. Its very hard to be around anyone who is having bread w dessert when u are saying no. I do well unless w my daughter who's vegetarian. Her focus is wmhoq are we responsible w animals we eat?
He provides really poor information on ketosis… individuals who are not overweight will not lose excess amount of body weight from a ketogenic diet. He has obviously never heard of ppl eating too many calories on a ketogenic diet unable to lose weight! The answer is so simple… eat more fats if they are losing too much weight. Seriously this is not the guy to listen to for a ketogenic diet.
Consumption of branched-chain amino acids (meat) -- > diabetes. Consumption of eggs --> diabetes. Consumption of oil and saturated fat --> diabetes. Diabetes has become endemic in India and China as consumption of rice fell and the consumption of animal products rose.
I’m so impressed with his presentation I actually listened from beginning to end and stayed interested after leaving a 12 hour shift.
THANK YOU!!! This is an EXCELLENT presentation! -- I have been practicing IF for 3 years. I NEVER gain weight when I eat one meal a day, particularly if I consume the meal within a 1 hour time frame.I consume sugar almost every day. I LOSE weight (too quickly) when I don't consume some form of sugar (glucose) with that 1 hour meal. My energy is good, not great. But when I fast for 24+ hours, my energy is amazingly restored and highly increased after 72 hours. And my memory skills improve exponentially. I don't fast more than 3 or 4 times per year. I have ZERO pain or inflammation, despite being an ice skater for 10+ years in my teens and 20s. - I am considering returning to the rink.

My really good friend is 55, female, morbidly obese (was over 300 pounds), type 2 diabetes, asthmatic, severe sleep apnea. She is on a medically monitored low carbohydrate whole food diet (no processed food). In the past year, she has lost 81 pounds, has reduced daily medications from 10 to 4 medications, and most happily, has reduced the need to take insulin dramatically. She has gone from taking ~6 insulin shots per day to 1-3 shots per day, sometimes only needing one shot at night before going to bed.

This makes total sense. I have been lucky, grew up in the sixties, that I never liked soft drinks and balked at the low fat ideas in the 80s. As soon as I was out of my parents house, went back to butter!! Never been more than a couple pounds overweight. And I still enjoyed dessert fairly often and drank more than my share of alcohol in the form of wine mostly. Its the soft drinks and preprocessed foods that have caused the obesity problem, no doubt about it. You look at the average American today and they are so not healthy. Just look at family photos from the sixties. People were very slim in those days. Soft drinks were around, but was not consumed like it is today. Plus was made with real sugar vs high fructose corn syrup. There's the culprit. Fructose.

A remarkable 21st century dynamic overview on nutrition science. The genetic component introduction was a great foundation for what followed. Evidence based and in depth detail.
Great presentation. Very clear and simple enough for me to understand.
Excellent! Research explained clearly. Don’t need PhD or MD degree to learn from his presentation.
Good except he recommends less red meat and more veg. Therefore less satisfaction and worse nutrient absorption which is wrong advice for overweight people.
This was absolutely superb. Soooo rich in solid information. It verifies/validates my own 'lifestyle choices'. (I just have to work harder at extending my IF 'endurance'.)
A fantastic exposé, specially stressing the importance/benefit of non processed food on our gut biome and stemming off obesity. Thank you Dr Koliwad.
Thank you Doctor and all the scientists who are studying and sharing your wealth of knowledge with us!
THIS IS GREAT! However, we've established the diet is extremely important and the recommendation of foods, but no mention of the Registered Dietitian. Please recognize that there is a specialty for this area and RDs are needed to help the population make improvements in their health.
Dr Morse is the only way to go. His knowledge doesn't out-date and change. These nutritionists confuse the fook out of something that is so simple to understand. It's all about diet not geno-types.
The difference between the US & Mexico Pima is genetically modified foods & corn syrup processed foods.

Just look at how lean & fit all people where in the 1970's & how fat we all are now.
I was a grade-school child in the 60s and a teen in the 70s. The difference between then and now is astounding. Somehow I managed to escape it -- I've been thin all my life while everyone else got fatter.

I am a lean 66, but I was dx with prediabetes. Even though I know even non-obese people can get diabetes, I was confident in my health. I had the greatest disappointment. Definitely, my condition leans to a genetic component. DM2 runs on my mom's side, she was also dx prediabetic but is doing fine now, my younger sister and older brother are diabetics. In order to remain from becoming diabetic, I am doing daily 16/8 and once a week 24/8. I have lost about 10 lbs in less than 3 months. I also exercise daily for about an hour. My diet is no more than 50 carbs a day with some fat, plenty of fiber, and proteins, and I choose two meals a day to prevent losing too much weight. This presentation has confirmed my concern. I am small and thin; losing too much weight can affect my health. So my diet is only partially keto. Once I get my A1C to return to normal, I will tweak my diet to 3 fastings 18/8 a week, and keep everything else the same. So much to learn.
@Nora Limiting to 50 carbs is a great start, but you may need to go lower. Try 30, then 20 or under. Fiber is contraindicated, carbs are also unneeded.
Power packed and straight forward even for the non academic. Thanks
But also wrong, the keto message shows only one side, did you know in China kids on the Keto diet died? One threw himself out of a tall building, low carb type diets also have been shown to increase all cause mortality, Im not a vegan BUT ... when dealing with humans we will most of the time be dealing with skewed information.
@@SciSciToys LMAO
@@agustinfodrini whats funny about bambini dying?
@@SciSciToys What's funny is your ignorance. Ketosis is by far the best state the body can achieve and Fasting is the most powerful tool we have to heal ourselves and remain healthy. Keto is certainly the best diet there is, since it promotes both fasting due to increased saciety and ketosis. Also, it is one of the few diets that has NO flaws AT ALL, since literally you don't eat ANYTHING that is bad for your body (carbohydrates, sugar, vegetable oils, alcohol, low fat products, etcetera). Keto and Fasting do the opposite of what you just said: They lower your risk of getting pretty much every metabolic disease. Tremendously. Skewed information? That is exactly what is done with financed studies and with all the misinformation there is when it comes to protecting Highly processed and refined products, like Sugar, for these are the things that make us sick and make us waste thousands in medicine and doctors. The only misinformation there is around Keto and Fat and Fasting is the one that implies these things are bad and that you should eat Carbohydrates because they're the base of the Food Pyramid. Oops no, sorry, in your fantasy world they promote it as healthy because in reality it kills children and increases risk of all causes of mortality? Wow, that is amazing, I'd have never thought that! So weird that most of my family and friends love to eat their daily dose of Sugar, along with some Fast Food, Processed and Refined Carbohydrates, Vegetable Oils and Margarine, yet they still remain obese and many of them have chronic metabolic disease. They must be some weird exception, Oh I'm sure of it. So am I, who have been on Keto for years and somehow am Fit and healthy. Such is life, I guess; I'm lucky.
@@agustinfodrini Facts are facts, people have died on Keto Diet, it seems to be harmful long-term, some MAY be okay and you may be that person, but we are not all the same, there is no one size fits all diet, natural ketosis is different from dietary induced ketosis, dont even go there, they are NOT the same, you can only trick the body shirt term, longterm it knows what you are doing, in a study 6month Keto vs 5 days fasting and rest of time med diet THRASHED the keto diet in health markers of participants.
You assume there is no other option but to eat shit processed foods and white sugar, this is called a junk food diet, this is like a vegan comparing meat eating and saying that their diet would beat a diet of kfc and mcdonalds (junk foods)
Oils and fats like coconut oil are PROCESSED foods, and NOT natural, if you lived in nature in a forest where would you obtain all those fats? You wouldnt be able to obtain 75% fat and so this tells you its a manmade diet to cheat your body into doing something that it does when there is no food, i.e. fast.
Keto Diet as opposed to lets say Med way of eating, IS and actual diet, i.e. has been used in a clinical setting to treat sick children this is how we know of the detrimental affects, Med diet is a lifestyle.
How many keto guys lived to 100? Zero.
While this talk is pointing positively to the fact that diet and microbiome changes can improve health and even reverse chronic conditions, the research presented is pointing to a potential 'pharma fix', i.e. a drug to fix your bad diet for you instead of making healthy lifestyle changes of your own. It would be most interesting to speculate that the food industry is funding research to find a 'pill' to fix things so that they can continue to sell you crap food at a massive profit so the drug industry can sell you the fix when all that is needed is an effort on your own part to make a change in dietary intake without drugs. While government subsidies continue to favour the appeasement of large corporates and push smaller ethical farming practices out of business thereby increasing there stranglehold and control of the market system, you will have less opportunities to make changes yourself. They bleed you dry from both directions in the name of profit and not health on behalf of their shareholders, of which you may be one via your pension scheme. Dr. Koliwad's work is indeed ground breaking but it also shows you do not need any pharmaceutical intervention to make significant changes in your health, by his own very words a change to a wholefood plant based regime without any refined oils or sugars and the outcome can be the same without any side effects. Pay the 'Farmer' and not the 'Pharma'. This rabbit hole shows there is a major cancer in the way the whole industry is structured and promoted via government lobbying so it ain't going to change any time soon and by offering you an easy fix pill to save you all the trouble and hassle of having to change the way you live for yourself, the status quo can be maintained. Bravo Dr. Suneil Koliwad, you have shown us the light so instead of us waiting for a pharma fix we just need to make an effort for ourselves and eat the rainbow. Change is going to have to start from the ground up with the power of our wallets. I know I will be flamed for this so go ahead, keep your head in the sand instead of thinking and researching for yourself cos I'm one fireproof bitch. Have a great day :-)
Would that include fructose in fruits? Or is it only in processed fructose.
Orange juice is soooo rich in fructose it's considered 'bad' for you. For this reason I've switched to APPLE JUICE in the morning and at any other time. So, yep, sorry, steer clear of the Tropicana when you go shopping and slide over to the apple juice area and even the pomegranate area!
I think the processing makes fructose more of a problem, but not by making fructose "worse". Rather, in it's natural sources, it's relatively low in concentration, and present with significant fiber to slow absorption. When processed, be it simply by juicing, or refining into sugar, you greatly increase the amount of fructose available to be consumed, and do so in the absence of fiber, which greatly concentrates the "load" on the liver.
Perhaps it's best thought of in terms of dosage. Natural sources are a low dose. Refined Fructose sources make harmfully high doses possible.
@@oibal60 Even better, avoid processed juices and manufactured liquids of all kinds. Eat the real foods, the whole foods, and you will get complete nutrition with zero adverse side-effects. Eat apples rather than processed apple-juice. Eat real oranges rather than orange-juice. Avoid juicers and juicing altogether. If you are going to have smoothies at all, use the whole food, including all the fibres and edible seeds and skins.
The natural fructose in fresh whole fruits and vegetables is never a problem. It is the processed foods and juices that cause problems.
@@brentshuffler1234
Absolutely, ripe fruit and fresh veggies. Ive not had an issue. Is this really that hard?
I really think that vegetable fats are bad because of the way they are processed. If the manufacturer uses hexane, or other cancer causing agent in order to separate the oil, What do you think?
Correct. Avoid all manufactured foods and oils. Eat the original, natural whole foods: e.g., raw nuts, raw seeds, fresh fruits, fresh vegetables, whole grains, peas, beans, and ground-foods. These things are easily recognisable and need no food-labels or list of ingredients. So simple, so cheap, and so sustainable!
Spectacular presentation! Thank you so much Dr. Koliwad!
the fact that a people can go from one genetic reality to another so fast by eating certain foods shows that food is purposely poisoned in the usa

Thank you for this most impactful video! I live in America of Asian decent (Philippines). Do you think it will be beneficial if I go home to Asia in order to replenish my microbiome? What about just buying and eating all organic veggies, fruits from the US? Or, does it have anything to do with the soil where the plants are grown? Thanks!
If you can get organic food from your local grocery def do so. Going home could help, or visiting similar climate for example maybe going to Florida or the US virgin Islands. So could modifying the diet so it reflects something close to what you'd eat at home. Or eating macrobiotic and eating only what grows In season where you are currently residing, and adding I'm some of those tropical or summer fruits but eating them dried instead of fresh or frozen. There's really no one single right way to approach this. Yes the quality of the soil most definitely makes a difference In the quality and nutrition value of the food we eat.
Those are very good questions to consider. Wherever you live, you can search for those who are growing local foods safely and organically. Moreover, you can plant whatever you can grow in and around your home, patio, balcony, roof-top, or backyard, et cetera. Some places have very little space, but you can always use plant-pots or plant-boxes and create micro-gardens. Even a few herbs are awesome additions to your diet when you pick anything safe and green and nutritious straight from the tree/plant! [smile] You can also start a movement to organise a few neighbours to develop a community garden. Each one contributes labour and then everyone shares in the bounty. Many hands make light work. Plus many fruit-trees, herbs and vegetables need very little attention any way.

Pls advise WHERE TO GET DEXA SCAN FOR FAT DISTRIBUTION??? Thanks
Ask your dr for one. You may have to pay for it, but I think it might be about $100 in some labs.
I am an apple type Asian and I was prediabetic at BMI 24. Most of the diabetic people I know are not fat.
[1] Not fat compared with what? Given that most of the population is overweight and a large number of people are obese, it is easy to under-estimate one's degree of excessive weight and/or body-fat and fluid-retention. E.g., A Body Mass Index of 24 is very close to 25, which is an early warning of overweight . . . just as blood-pressure reading of 120 / 80 is a threshold for pre-hypertension. It is better to be lower down these scales than close to the warning lines. Being less overweight does not mean being healthy, which includes not being overweight at all . . . .
[2] More importantly, are you paying attention to your dietary patterns? E.g., are you avoiding added sugar, added salt, processed flour, processed oils, and overprocessed carbohydrates? These all create addictions and disrupt blood-sugar, metabolism, blood-pressure, and damage organs . . . .
[3] Secondly, are you avoiding or minimising the intake of animal-based proteins? The lack of dietary fibre + saturated fat + high acidity = disruption of the body's optimal alkaline pH balance . . . .
[4] Thirdly, are you avoiding dairy products? These are major hormonal disruptors. Hint: a cow's milk is designed to transform a 90-pound calf into a 2,000-pound adult in two years; by contrast, human milk is designed to transform an 8-pound baby into a 16-pound adult over 20 years. That is a huge difference of speed, scale, and impact!
Asians have a scientifically lower threshold of weight before diabetes sets in. Hope you are doing better now.
Does sugar affect people of all skin colours in the same way
Unfortunately, everything is relative. You really have to find out in your particular case. What works for you may not work for me.
The key is to avoid all forms of ADDED sugars or other sweeteners. The manufactured ones are even worse than the natural ones, but all ADDED sugars, ADDED salt, ADDED caffeine, et cetera, are best avoided. The natural sugars in fresh fruits and vegetables, for example, always come in a wonderful package of whole foods: living water + beneficial oils + vitamins + minerals + dietary fibre + proteins + carbohydrates. The edible skins and seeds add even more fibre and nutrients.
@Gaenor Rees Yes, but you also have less ability to process Vit. D. Especially the further we are from the equator.
An excellent lecture.
Fascinating!
Is there a list of the references available?
Yes, the book of Genesis and the book of Revelation, for starters. [smile] A whole-foods, plant-based diet provides complete nutrition in low-cost, high-quality forms that do not come from a factory or a laboratory. Best of all, grow more of what you eat, and eat more of what you (or persons that you know well) grow . . . safely, sustainably, organically.
Awesome program!! Thank you!!!
The phenotype is transcribed during the birthing process. Are the Pima experiencing obesity having their babies in sterile hospitals and therefore having limited microbiome transfer? Have you done investigation about birthing practices changes between the two regions and its effects on the health of the children?
Obesity ITSELF is not a link to the diseases that we once thought were linked to obesity, Obese individuals can actually be healthy, obese and non-diabetic.

Now, how do I get a prescription for EPA? Will cutting fruits , especially high fructose tree fruits, reduce my LDL? My BMI is 24 but my lipids are putting me at cardiovascular risk at age 72.
I have been vegan for 3 years now. Age 70. My cholesterol rose steadily over that time until I finally sought help. My triglycerides were very high and the advice was to cut way way back on fruit. In 1 month I dropped 50 points by eating only berries as fruit part of my diet. Did nothing for my elevated LDL, but brought my HDL from 45 to 50. BTW, I appear to be a small group of vegans plagued by this response to their vegan diet. It is uncommon and very annoying to us. It does not appear to be a function of too much refined starch, such as flours since we are all on a flour-free type of vegan diet. I responded well to no fruit other than berries (no added sugars).
You can buy EPA supplements (often along with DHA, another key omega 3) - they come from algae.
@@elizabethfletcher1487 The fructose in fruit goes directly from stomach to liver through the portal vein. Your liver can hold only so much sugar, than straight to fat. If you over burden your liver you will gain fat, and risk a fatty liver. If you have insulin in your blood for too much of a 24 hour day, think of it as a ratio of insulin per day. If you eat anything you get about 2-3 hours of insulin in your blood. If you eat one meal a day that’s 3 hours of insulin out of a 24 hour day (15% of your 24 hr day). If you can lessen insulin exposure per day with intermittent fasting, you can become much more insulin sensitive and tune up your metabolism to resemble a thin teenager’s metabolism. I also think as they age people need to eat more protein or risk losing muscle mass. 4 eggs is a good amount of protein for an older women. I believe lean and strong creates the greatest chance for a long health span.
hi. have you tried maintaining your current diet but eating at less intervals & no snacks?
Thank you to all who responded to my remark. I cut all fruits to berries, one serving a day only, switched over to include grass fed lamb, once a week, wild caught salmon or other fatty fish 1-2 times a week and an intermittent fasting routine of 20/4 and brought FBG down from 128 to 97 this morning. One day last week it was as low as 89 but also another day it was 110 when I overate almonds in a late nite snack. Watching lots of UA-cam gurus for fasting and some say studies show high HDL correlates with longer lifespan, not with heart disease and early death. One of the reasons I love these University of California seminars is that evidence is scholarly and reliable. Is it true that high LDL is NOT associated with coronary disease?
Great education on diet.Thank you so much Dr. Koliwad!

Thank you. You have connected a lot of dots. I am apple shape adipose, diabetic, hi bloodpressure etc. The whole show. My question is: i wonder if my hepatitis in early years have made my liver vulnerable. I ask because my diet is excellent according to your advice. Ah im on metformin
It's all about personal fat threshold. Those with the genetic ability to form new fat cells, get fatter. Those without that ability get metabolically sicker. Energy that is not properly stored in the body is toxic.
Succinctly stated but very true.

I learned a lot. Thanks for your informative video.
If you really want to restrict calorie intake you will have to conserve calorie expenditure. Will this work? I mean decreasing the amount of exercising.
No. You can eat more calories in 5 minutes than what most people would burn in 1 hour of exercise. No amount of exercise can replace a bad diet. On the other hand, walking and daily wholesome physical activity are essential to a long and healthy life. Being sedentary kills!
thanks for sharing
i must watch this again so i can understand a little bit more. not all because its becoming complicated :) btw, i'm taking glucare 750 and trajenta 5mg...
I understand the focus on diet. But don't forget the massive change in how much people move these days. A large part of the population sits all day, drives to work to sit there and drive back. Back in the day people burned hundreds of calories more and build muscle plus got cardio just living their lives. Nowadays most people have to go to a gym to get any kind of activity due to the world around them being redesigned for cars, instead of walking and biking to where you need to go.
Going from a semi a little active lifestyle to sedentary is a difference of 400 calories at least. The difference for 400 calories per day less burning through activity is gaining 41 pounds of fat per year. People can focus on just the food and carbs, but the lack of physical activity is still the elephant in the room.
I would want to know if Pima Indians and the other society of Pima Indians are vaccinated as babies or older. Anything at all that could interfere with a body's natural immunity should be taken into account. Not just the environment
Dean Ornish works at UCSF. I don’t think he would agree with parts of this lecture.
1:12:24 he talks about weightloss on Keto and this happen on all diets, he fails to mention that Glycogen is heavy, and uses WATER when all glycogen stores are used up you WILL lose weight, he does touch on the dangers slightly i.e. diabetic acidosis but also there are people who cannot go into ketosis and carbs then do actually become essential. Keto diets can harm the kidneys and so he did say the right thing, CKD patients who did Ramadan fasting were studied and their kidneys did fail faster.
@@SciSciToys the lecture very clearly suggests Ornish got it wrong but I haven’t seen any evidence presented to reach this conclusion.
@@stanleyniezrecki2469 I think the problem may be that the study didnt tease out other lifestyle changes that definitely can help or have been shown to help in healing for example exercise, meditation or stress reduction, therapy or group meetings that they had etc,and so by doing just the diet on its own they could come to the conclusion that diet alone was successful, this seems to me the only sticking point, it may be that the diet was 90% responsible for the healing or 20% thats maybe what they refer to?
@@stanleyniezrecki2469 There was a study though were Keto went head to head with 5 day fast and then 6 month med diet which was heavily plant based, the fast and med diet thrashed 6 months of full keto :)
@@SciSciToys Not surprisingly: almost any thoughtful diet will produce short-term results. Only a whole-foods, plant-strong diet has been proven to be sustainable both for excellent health and longevity, and for the environment and the planet.
Superbly explained
Interesting menagerie of responders to this video.
Menagerie, love it 😀
Prof Ben Bickman said that the adipose tissue of those individuals with the capacity to grow more cells(hyperplasia)can be virtually morbidity obese and still be metabollically healthy.
Genetics do play a role in this for sure but generally everyone can benefit from a diet low in starchy food, no sugar, no fructose and by eliminating vegetable oils from your diet.
Perhaps low carb as opposed to keto for lean individuals?
Yes, but all in balance. Smaller portions of a range of whole foods, rather than large portions of anything. Complex carbohydrates rather than processed carbohydrates. The whole foods from plant-sources automatically give us a balance of the best kinds of fats, proteins, carbohydrates, fibre, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other protective phytochemicals. E.g., peas, beans, raw nuts, raw seeds, fresh fruits, fresh vegetables, ground-foods, whole grains. These are the real foods: you can easily recognise them and they do not need a food-label or a list of ingredients since nothing has been added (or removed) by Man.
Keto kills.
Let's eliminate cost as the factor of health. DM.
Well! That was worth listening to. Great education on diet.
I will never be convinced that an obese person is healthy.
You are perfectly correct. By definition, overweight is a disease; obesity is morbid overweight. One is just a slower death than the other, but both are fatal diseases of overconsumption, poor absorption of nutrients, and chemical imbalances.
I didn't understand the relevance of the Pima Indians example. Suneil's key point is that people exposed to the same environmental factors do not end up with the same results, while the two Pima Indians populations have very different environmental factors - one is in a resource rich sedentary environment, and the other is in a resource poor active environment.
I think the point was with a similar genetic make up, Pima Indians in a different environment will get fat and diabetic too. It’s not genes it’s predominantly the environment that creates metabolic dysfunction, fatty liver disease and eventually type 2 diabetes and early death. Epigenetics turns genes on an off, diet and activity level are epigenetic and determine health span.
I had a different problem with that first example: Why would a lack of education and a low socioeconomic status result in a sedentary lifestyle for Pima Indians in the US? That needs more careful explanation. Are they all unemployed? Otherwise, without education they'd be doing physically demanding jobs like gardening, cleaning, construction, harvesting crops, etc. The speaker with an advanced education has an extremely sedentary job.
Yes, in other words, our daily choices and habits (e.g., what we eat, what we drink, how we cook, how much walking we do daily) are far more important than genetics alone. Indeed, a diverse range of whole foods from plant-sources turns off the bad genes and activates the ones that produce longevity and excellent health. That is why twins can be tracked over decades and, simply by having a better diet, one can be younger-looking and healthier than the genetically identical sibling. Likewise, studies have shown that Black Americans tend to have a poor diet that leads to obesity, hypertension and diabetes. The genetically identical source-populations in Africa do not have these diseases so long as they do not follow the same bad American habits. If it were genetic, they would all have the same health-outcomes no matter where they went in the world. The enormous disparities in health-indicators clearly demonstrate that it is not genetic, but lifestyles,
Can gene editing be developed to get rid of the obesity causing gene?
Awesome video.
On one hand he's demonizing fructose in favor of high glycemic index glucose, then he goes on to demonize finer milled grains for having roughly 10% higher glycemic index (read the actual data table, not a huge difference). Fructose is bad, ok chief I'll eat less fruit and more glucose polymer type grains. Glucose based wonderbread over fructose based fruits.
Can anyone resolve what I see as a bit contradictory here?
Maybe catch Dr. Lustig he talks about the significance of fiber which ameliorates the impact of fructose in fruit. He's from UFC as well.
We ate wonder bread for the y

" There is no diet that says do not eat vegetables"...nice!
The Carnivore Diet
Lol vegetables are mostly toxic with antinutrients, their own natural pesticides and not to mention manmade pesticides. Animals are what all of our ancestors ate no matter what region of the world and by far contain the most nutrients/least toxicities
low carb/keto = avoid starchy vegetable like potatoes rice pasta and peas n corn are considered pig food in France (too high in carbs).
@@zacharycasavant9068 blablabla, thx for your valuable insight mister internet nutrition expert.
Succinctly put... ;-)
l can relate sir thank you so much
Fruit and vegetables are healthy for you , carbs are not the enemy. It's refined sugar that's bad for you.
Thank you for this explanation this was so great! I am not a native speaker and sometimes I have to say I have a hard time understanding big scientific words and following processes but your way is presenting it was excellent. Thank you, Koszonom!
Aren't they say now that it's fat that you eat this coming up the muscle cells or whatever that's causing diabetes
What is up with the sound in this video? Its very distracting.
At 40 minutes, you say that one can shift from sugar to ketone burning in one day.
That's false. It takes days, or weeks to get fat adapted.
Not necessarily as soon as you deplete your glycogen stores and have not added new glucose you are in ketosis. Think a long sleep or skipping breakfast.
You can easily switch to having ketones as a energy source, IF you have metabolic flexibility. However, I believe you are confusing "being in ketosis" with producing ketones. The former does take time but you are producing substantially higher ketone levels. The later is an individual who produces higher ketone levels than less metabolically flexible people to meet energy needs. This person could actually see levels of ketones after fasting that meet "nutritional ketosis" levels (0.5 mM) but would move out of that range as they consumed their daily meals.
Circumstantially, depending on metabolic health. A healthy metabolism can make the transition in a matter of hours. I (when initially attempting a ketogenic diet) needed three days, and it felt like I was sick, sluggish, drugged, until day 3 when things finally switched. Insulin doesn't fall instantly, and serious insulin resistance takes a long while since insulin is at the limit of what your pancreas can handle).
Stick with it. 90lbs gone.
@@d112cons good point, I remember getting ketone after breath 8-10 hr while fasting when I was younger. But now barely even after 12-14hrs
good video😍
Excellent information. Thank you.

It seems to me he's making this too complicated. Didn't we all already learn from the fecal transplant studies proving impeerically the key to good health starts and ends with our digestive system microbiome. Without exception every diabetes patient has dysbiosis in their digestive tract.
But association isn't proof of causation
The Jim Fix anomalies what the hell went wrong there ?
Risks higher amounts of carbohydrates vs fat ,protein + stressors + other factors the brain gene disposition etc so what happened with the famous runner ?
So what can we do ,us oatmeal ok ?
Sugar ,how about raw honey ?
Exercise what types ,how often ,sleep ,too much sedentary time ie at PC ?
Great science and health ,can we have simple life changes which we could apply !
Thank you - I can only say amen to this I turned around NAFLD amongst other things 10 yrs ago, not on medical understanding but my own research…..
Well done, Fatty Liver can reversed if you reduce weight by 10%, also by eating liver healing veggies and some lean meats (Methionine restriction gave Fatty Liver in mice studies)
This all depends on the environment that Fatty Liver finds itself in, Beets, and other liver friendly foods are BAD for the kidneys and so if you have a kidney problem you have to limit them.
Apple cider vinegar supposed to be good for reducing Fat in the liver but what if you have GERD or Histamine Intolerance then you cant drink it.
How did you heal your problems including Fatty Liver?
@@SciSciToys I reduced carbs,; especially all refined carbs completely- within a week all my gut problem began to resolve, my sugar cravings disappeared…..it’s a lifestyle for me now
@@kathrynnewton8721 Im having to reduce carbs and other veggies cause of Histamine Intolerance but I also have fatty liver and gallbladder polyps so maybe its a blessing in disguise, mind you I have to say it got boring very quickly, maybe Im still addicted to my carb treats like a gluten free toast with some honey, potatoes, pasta, rice, although i do eat a little basmati rice, I need to have some carbs, whats you typical days meals look like?
@@SciSciToys it’s a journey for sure, I went off all carbs, (anything white!) and within a week I had no bloating, no indigestion, no cravings and couldn’t believe the improvement, I’ve been doing it for 8 years now and not ever going back….. it’s radical at first, but it’s got to be a lifestyle not a diet. Im now a health educator (vast nursing background) helping a friend who weighed 156 kg (350lbs) and she is now 118 kg going strong……
@@kathrynnewton8721 The only problem I fear with eating so much meat, from 5% to 95% of my diet at the moment to heal my gut or avoid more damage (SIBO, leaky gut - gluten and dairy intolerance and now with SIBO/Histamine intolerance)
I wish to go back to a mainly vegan diet after this meat fast, lol.
Meat and its connection to Cancer? definitely its connection to kidney health, i.e. to end stage kidney disease, my theory is that we all have kidney disease and on a trajectory to stage 5 or end stage kidney failure cause egfr naturally dwindles as we age and at 10 its dialysis time and transplantation isnt far off and then how long does that transplanted kidney last?
By babying the kidneys for as long as possible we dont get them to wear out, what wears out the kidneys? I think oxidatve stress, Glycation, PRAL or acid load, obesity etc and eating meat or animal foods puts a strain on those kidneys, more so than plant proteins cause they are superior, phosphorous from plants also isnt well absorbed as animal origin which in this case is a good thing, I think the best diet for extending life is to go vegan and supplement with amino acids like keto acids that dont injure the kidneys or shall i say tax the kidneys.
Its funny though how some foods that are good for the lIver like beets, isnt good for the kidneys, vegan docs like Dr Greger in one of his videos mentions methionine restriction and how this pathway, mTOR etc helps with longevity and yet studies showed that mice that were restricted of Methionine developed Fatty Liver, ouch!!
Its definitely not a perfect science and Im no perfect scientist or anything ;)
Could you put in a few more ads? Because it helps my concentration of the lecture to be interrupted with fatuous irrelevancies every few minutes.

Ultimate carbs low fat and protein long-term to maintain or lose weight
Overall, our human body is a system of systems. What causes disease? What causes system failure or a cascading system failure? If you look at common denominators of all the food intake, eliminating sugars, refined or manufactured foods and manufactured seed/vegetable oils, moderating high glycemic foods (all environmental). I firmly believe that if these common denominators were eliminated, our disease rates would absolutely plummet. This should be a standard intervention and the basis of our ISDA guidelines. Hyperglycemia and the mitochondrial damage that is borne out from the manufactured foods and sugars starts at the cellular level . When nerves, cells, and tissue damage accumulates , we then have disease.
As for bread, it should not be processed, with out seed oils, or over milked. That said, don’t you think the starches should be minimally digested? The function of food in hyperinulinemia .the ancient Egyptians we known as bread eaters. They did not have highly milled breads, but used lots of honey, whole grains and it was the a large part of their diet. They died young from teeth rot, cardiovascular disease and heart failure with diabetes.
I eat as close to nature as possible, carb rates well under 100.. often the only carbs are from high fiber low glycemic vegetables. Too much fructose too high of a glycemic index and those evil over tilting of the Omega 6 (note not eliminating it by natural food) from seed and vegetable oils.
@4:32 I’ve done many deep dives over many yrs on genetics and disease and first I (myself) heard a science/medical prof’l say this outside university classrooms. Time to move away from ‘diet’ labels to sell books/headlines and focus on unbiased science incl non corp/for profit funding sources to guarantee objectivity. Reality is even govt/tax payer funded studies not protected from (even arms length) influence due to powerful lobbyists/donors. I’m not sure why any involved would deny this. Edit: 26:24 wow and are some statin drugs also not a risk for T2D? 1:00:51 future study to compare Mediterranean vs one by blue zones Loma Linda, Okinawa and Sardinia?
This is going to be an odd comment... I was an electrician working construction to build the first ( and 2nd and 3rd) UCSF buildings in this complex (in the 90s) and had to endure animal rights protesters harrassment and vandals ( rocks thrown at me , tires slashed, etc) and i feel the abuse was well worth the studies and discoveries made from this entity. Thank you for this information.. it both terrifies me and gives hope.

Great lecture. I believe I may know why transplanted microbiota doesn't take though. It's an organism, not a drug, you need to feed it. So sustained dietary change would be necessary for the microbiome to be permanently changed.

This is amazing. Thank you for this.
So glad it was helpful!
You don't have to use a Dexa scan to know someone's visceral fat content, just take a fasting insulin and if it's >5, that person has surpassed their personal fat threshold and is becoming insulin resistant.
I have to disagree. I am not fat at 125, 5'3, and 66 years old, bikini flat belly. All my labs besides A1C were normal including cholesterol and liver function, no cardio issues at all. At this moment, I am 116lb and refusing to lose any more weight. This is the case of one size does not fit all. We, humans, look alike, but our bodies behave differently. Good health to you always!
@@200Nora If your A1C is abnormal, so is your basal insulin. The insulin levels rise first, then the A1C. Always in that order. I don't know your ethnicity, but many ethnic groups have very limited energy storage capacity, and become insulin resistant and type 2 diabetic at a very low body weight.
@@200Nora You're clearly fit and and almost certainly haven't exceeded your personal fat threshold, but your stats and labs haven't refuted Merrie's claim.
Even with the assumption that you have a low/healthy level of visceral fat , to refute her claim you'd need to tell us that you had your fasting insulin measured and it was above 5.
Is your doctor treating you as a type 2 patient? Have you had insulin and/or c-peptide measured?
Asking because it's not uncommon for doctors to misdiagnose late onset type 1 (aka LADA) as type 2.
@@chaz6399 No, I am not fully diabetic; I am pre-diabetic A1C 5.8. Otherwise, everything else is good. If it was not because of that, I will be in excellent if not perfect health. I always practice a moderate way of eating and avoid processed and refined sugars. That's why I am confused. No, dr did not get my insulin number only A1C and fasting which was 90mg/dl. I am working on returning to a sensitive insulin state. No medications, I am doing intermittent fasting with 2 meals a day, not keto but lowered my carbs further. It seems to working, but I will not know for sure until my next lab in two more weeks. Wish me luck.
@@200Nora Interesting. It would be most helpful if you could get a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) for a month to see exactly when your blood sugar is going high and for how long. Of course your doctor needs to cooperate and it would be expensive because your situation is not severe enough for insurance to cover it.
A good alternative is to get an inexpensive meter and test yourself, especially after meals, to see how high the sugar goes. It's very common for glucose to peak 45 to 60 minutes after eating. If you can avoid/minimize these post-meal spikes it will help a lot. There's a YT channel called "Beat Diabetes", that discusses this approach in great detail. I highly recommend it.
Also, everyone talks about the benefit of exercise, but I rarely hear anyone talking about the benefit of exercise immediately following a meal. If you eat a meal with carbs and immediately go on a 30 minute walk your blood sugar will not go nearly as high. This is because when you're exercising the muscles can take up glucose regardless of insulin level and insulin sensitivity, and the effect can be dramatic. Imagine the following 2-day experiment:
Day 1: Eat 50 grams of carbs at lunch and then sit at your desk and work for the next hour. At the 60 minute mark measure your glucose. Glucose may be 180 mg/dL.
Day 2: At the same time of day, eat the same meal with 50 grams of carbs, but this time immediately go for a 30 minute walk after the meal. For the next 30 minutes do whatever you like, and then measure glucose at the 60 minute mark. Glucose will be much lower than the day before!
Exactly how much lower it will be depends on the person, but for someone that has high post-meal glucose it could easily be 40 to 60 points lower or more.
I can't say this will work for everyone, but that's the beauty of having your own glucose meter. You can try it and prove to yourself what works for you and what doesn't.
Best of luck to you in getting your A1C down.
