I am 71 years old I wake up every morning at 5 and work out for an hour every single day, I don’t suffer from low libido I do suffer from low libido in my wife, how bout some meds for women that’s where the problem lays.
A book that changed my life in ways that i never could imagine is "Hidden testosterone secrets".Drop whatever you're doing right now and go find that book. Trust me after i implemented things from the book my testosterone levels went beast mode
Drop a link to the book. I can find it

Already reading it man i was curious about buying but trust me it is worth it , i find the ebook on browser just type the name of ebook !
Hey! Is that book you’re referring to only available in an E-Book or an actual book? I looked up the title and seen a cover with a man flexing his back muscles but it was an E-Book and I didn’t seen anything on Amazon.Whats the cover look like ? Thnx
I wish more health related videos could be like this. Fact and statistic based, straight to the point and not "rah rah" or shaming. Nice job, young lady.

Rena. Your one of the only doctors, I have listened to, who support a hypothesis, using statistics. Statistics was one of my favorite college classes, so when I hear u talking about changes being “statistically different”, I know your conclusions are fact based.
As a 70+ male, I love your talks about ED & increasing testosterone levels, naturally.
Keep up the good work! 👍

Sleep is huge and underrated. I'm 29, when I was in the Army, my sleep was extremely poor for obvious reasons. Now that I've been out for a year, I've found my muscle building plateaus conquered more easily, my mood is better, etc. Sleep is important, folks.
Yes sir..u r right..
Sleep will only be ok when you will stress free. And for stress free we need to control many things ,which is not easy.
@@risinggamer3011 low stress can be achieved by controlling what you can, and learning to accept what you cannot. Trying to control something that cannot be controlled will cause much more stress

I’ve been taking the Irwin testosterone mega boost red with nitric oxide booster, and I’ve noticed a significant difference in my testosterone levels. I haven’t had it measured but I am much more aggressive and I have a lot more energy in the gym.
Its amazing just how much of our problems can be solved through proper diet, exercise, and sleep
Nice quickie breakdown
Not amazing.
Just common sense, I would say.
It's all about coming and keeping closer to nature-and I don't mean just plants, flowers, and trees when I say 'nature'.
@@vidhushekhar17 still pretty amazing to me. yeah common sense that living closer to humanity's original way of life is more beneficial, but there's *so much* problems, initially appearing to be only solvable by drugs, that are solvable just by those simple things.
maybe we're just so far from what we *could* be, that the power inside our bodies is barely visible
You can sleep when your dead.
Sleep is so important
The most beautiful answer she gave in this video was: "I don't know yet"..... Her saying that made me trust everything else she said even more.
I noticed that too, true science, I'm impressed
That's playing hard to get.
I like to get too 😉
True.
Only serious and sincere scientists use this sentence quite often.
(Philosophers/philosophizers know everything of course.😆)
Well said
Maybe she just said it to give the impression of being a trustworthy scientist?
Thankyou for all your help on staying healthy! Great job!
I'm a 60 you male and my T levels were down around 350mg. I went on Keto, lost 15lbs, and added DHEA and boosted my T level to over 450. Really helped to reduce overall grumpiness according to my wife!
It's measured in nanograms not MG LOL
@@jwsteelers1 Wow, you're a veritable savant 😒 Slow clap.
I like to take a certain plant supplement called Tongkat Ali, increase by 100dl/nanogram!!!!
Just take test and do those other things. Easy to get
How do you measure you T levels?
Dr. Malik, your videos are awesome! People usually talks about the menopausal transition for women but for men is also a very challenging period. Thank you for sharing this information, Thank you for being so helpful!
I learn more from Dr. Malik's 11--minute videos than from years of going to my own doctor. Thank you, Dr. Malik! You're doing the godddess' work!
Thank you for always posting these important topics on your awesome channel here doc 😀
Thank you Dr RENA
I'm humbled by your knowledge, intelligence, education, and what appears as personal honesty
❤️
“Avoid looking at you phone before bedtime”
Me at 3 AM 2 hours before work: Fuck! 😳
Blue light increases serum glucose.
That damn anime
I remember my doctor recommend to get the best sleep is consistency. Same bed time and waking time pretty much sets your body clock in action. I believe Rena is right about all the points she made in this video with clear and concise evidence to back the claims. At the ripe age of 70, the best claim was about exercise. I average 6 miles walking everyday I work. I believe I don’t suffer from deficient testosterone levels. Thanks for the informative videos from your newest subscriber
Wait until five years from now then you can brag about it.
Great going! Keep up the good work!
For me constant times are more important than the length itself. I have small kids and a stressful job so that’s how I survive.
I found your channel a few days ago and I just want to say thank you for putting out great content that is reliable. I appreciate it very much.
Great Rena,thanks for the councils you provide!
Why are always exotic plants or every kind of testosterone booster,comes from a remote area of the world?" For boost testosterone you need this rare plant that grows inside a cave,guarded by king Kong and Godzilla 24/7 in the middle of the jungle".
Because it is bullshit. Workout with weights, reduce carbs and cut out sugar. Eat moderate to high protein and high fats. IF and Keto will increase your Test.
lmao facts lol
That's not true. I can personally attest that everything the doctor is saying is true. Bok Choy, kale, collard greens, cauliflower are great and readily available. For me most effective energy booster has been broccoli.
@@totalsubmition lol and everything increases estrogen. Why do we have nothing that increases test other than avoiding the things that increase estrogen?
Raw eggs, spinach, broccoli, salmon.
Not so exotic or from the far reaches.
Very clear and informative video. I like the way you broke down everything and included facts and statistics. I'm definitely going to look out for more of your videos on here.
If you’re interested in trying natural supplements try fadogia and tongkat ali. I had my blood work done before I started taking both these and my T-levels were 523 ng/dL and after I started taking a supplement my testosterone levels were 950 ng/dL.
Thanks for you broadcasts - esp, BPA ! Great tips !
Great information.
Laughed when you mentioned 8hrs sleep, I'm a nightshift worker, often lucky to get 5hrs..
Thank you Rena. You have some of the most informative videos on male health that I've come across. As a 63 year old man, this one really spoke to me. And now, I want to go out and get some Ashwagandha and get my weight down and try and get better sleep.
Valerian Root is excellent for sleeping and also the squeeze and relax your muscles method invented by military pilots for fast sleep in different time zones..
Thankyou Rena for your very helpful advice to improve Men’s Health, we are worth it💜
Hi
Thank you very much for presenting educational videos- easily understandable, no selling, no talking down. Life changing for many totally clueless men.
After a heart attack I started to get a little more involved in my well being and one of the things I was told or learnt to do was reduce stress. I learnt transcendental meditation (TM) which was amazing but I'm really bad at routines so never got into the swing of regular practice. I knew I needed to build muscle to help in weight loss and as an older guy we have to look at those hacks that will help us increase testosterone. I now put a heaped teaspoon of ash. powder on my breakfast each morning because it helps to reduce cortisol levels. With lower cortisol levels you get higher testosterone and vice versa. A side benefit of taking the ash. powder IS lower stress levels - it is like meditation in powdered form!
This was really informative! Spot on Dr. Malik!
This is life saving... guy's let's get better. Not for other's but for ourselves...time to learn to love ourselves.
Thank you, Doctor, for helping us, greatly appreciate you for keeping us informed.
Ghee Whiz- lose weight, exercise, eat fruits and veggies, avoid processed foods, get sleep, avoid chemicals and plastics, reduce stress. How revolutionary.
Thanks saved me from watching the whole video
How basic! Better than hamburgers and obesity!
@@douglaidlaw740 there is nothing wrong with hambergers- just avoid the bun and the ketchup!
Thanks for the video and knowledge shared.
Do you know how long it'll take on average to see changes in testosterone when this lifestyle changes are made?
Thanks in advance🙂
Thank you, Rena. Just watching your video doubled my (healthy) testosterone level. (I will also remember your scientific advice.)
Hey Rena, many thanks for that brilliant video... really useful!!
Every time I watch one of her videos it’s a college course. I appreciate all that you do.
Thank you for what you are doing to educate people. I think its amazing! Very helpful. I wish you all the best! And I must say, you are beautiful as well.
Watching her videos increases my testosterone level. :)
yes ketogenic is awesome. I was diagnosed as mixed dislipedemia and have been in keto for 4 years now. In the first year I reduced my triglycerides from over 600 to below 80, visceral fat from 14 to 3. Waist size from 36 to 31 slim.
By the way, I achieved this without changing exercise - actually did it a lot less.
Ketogenic lifestyle is so delicious, easy, and honestly, addicting. Just so unfair that lifestyle so healthy is so cheiap, easy, and fun to live with.
Now, I am starting to exercise big time to run 1 mile in under 5,5 minutes. Oh, I am 56 by the way.
Good luck and bless us all
helpful, answered really good questions, thank you for this
Great video. I'm happy to have learned that I'm already doing pretty good on all points 😊
Enjoy all your videos...very very informative..ty
Hello, Rena, I listen to you more and more nowadays. I keep hearing a lot about 16-hour fasting and 12-hour fasting but can you tell us some details about what you can and cannot eat/drink during the time and also the link between fasting and weight loss.
Interesting. I am in my late seventies and have been eating keto for a couple of yrs. Don’t know about testosterone but it has definitely helped bring down my blood sugar levels. And reduced my craving for sweets. It’s a diet that I can live with long term. Not just a fad.
Thank you, Dr. Malik. Very helpful
My story is I was starting my 60s and felt older and slowing down plus didn't feel like have sex but wanted to. I had my yearly physical and my testosterone level was just below 300 which is just below the minim level for a male my age. I asked to try some testosterone therapy and was given a prescription for gel. It took a while to kick in but in 3-4 months I felt a little younger and was able come out of retirement and go back to work, come home and exercise or do an hour of yardwork and my sex drive felt normal. I also could think more clear headed. It didn't make me feel 20 again but maybe 50 give or take. I now tell guys my age about the benefits of testosterone. It's like the fountain of youth for males my age.
Oh I'm 68 but people keep telling me when they ask how old I am that I seem much younger.
300 is considered normal by the medical society...but low to the bodybuilding society....you can build muscle and have a normal sex drive even in the 200 range ....Often body fat and medications can loser testosterone in older people ...that number may be higher and fluctuate during the day....People should try everything before using TRT ....unless nothing else works....last resort should be Cialis....which may clear up a lot of problems.
Finally someone that focuses on men's health. Most men never go to the doctor for regular check ups or even when they have health issues.
This will open people up.
No it will not many men may not or want to watch this even if they had the internet. Men need to tell men. My wife at work talks to her female work mates to get an idea on what is going on with her.
Not true anymore. Most men do go to their regular Dr visits. We know how important this is.
@@williammoore4792 I know many that do not or go to Dr and the Dr will not send them to specialist
I'm guilty of that. Lol
Thank you Dr Malik. Your videos are an oasis of information.
Thank you for this video, Dr. It's helped me a lot.
Dr Malik, you are an extremely knowledgeable practitioner and we thank you for your honesty. I love that you do not promote prescription meds, you educate the patient and assist to help themselves. We all lack knowledge about how to live healthy disease free life.
Very informative. As someone who has been a senior citizen for many years, I can only employ the sleep and diet portion of your advice.Thanks.
If you can sit in a chair you could exercise.
Dr. Rena you're great. Couple years pelvic floor exercises. Keto lost lotta weight 185 pounds to combat.diabwtes. Thanks to you and all the other great doctors.
Thanks for your high quality advice.
I would be very much interested in the keto to testosterone video. Personally i did the keto diet for a full year. Im 6'4" and was 290lbs. I was very fit and active before i gained the weight. My avg weight back then was around 210. Weight crept up on me after marriage and the kiddo. Decided on keto to do something about it. I lost 45lbs in 2 months. Then it leveled off. The other effects were why i stayed on it. Digestive system functioned better, more energy..needed less food. I generally ate one meal a day. I lost the taste for alot of things. Especially sugary drinks. Any bottle of fruit juice feels like im trying to drink a bottle of maple syrup now. It was quite the interesting experience
take good care
I went on to the keto diet and no sugar. Now anything sugary tastes terrible....
Congrats! You rock! Those sugar drinks are hurting so many people!
Hi! Curious guy here - are you still on the keto diet? Or did you just follow it to reach your short-term wellness goals? I’m always curious about this sort of thing…
@@dmarti47 staying on the keto diet is quite difficult. But a lesser variant of the same (LCHF) can be exercised
Well stated and very well presented. Of course there are those who lend themselves to HIIT with short bursts of energy and for that we are very grateful.
You are a great communicator. Your videos are rich in content.
Thanks. Very informative. Honestly, I feel just looking at you raises my testosterone!😊
I made three changes from last year’s physical and my Testosterone moved up 200 points. I went on the carnivore diet which is high fat high protein diet and I lost 21 pounds. Started going to the gym doing resistance training about three days a week no change in sleeping habits normally about six hours per night. I’m 64 years old male but I feel like I lost 21 years not pounds. Thank you Dr Malik for all you do.
Sir, I'd suggest taking 8 hour sleep, I used to sleep 6 hours but then I switched to 8 and can not imagine going back. Taking a sleep where you wake up naturally without any alarms is just amazing, trust me. Thanks
@@niccolopaganini1782 8 hours doesn't work for everyone.
Thank you Rena your helping lots of men out there and its nice to have a attractive advice Doctor help us.
As always, a great video. Thank you
You are doing a great job! thanks and keep it up.
At 5:15 you say "Well, I don't know yet." I'm not sure why I'm even taking the time to comment on it, other than that it was refreshing to hear someone confidently say they don't have all the answers. Not enough people admit they don't have all the answers. Which is just ridiculous, because none of us do. Good on you.
Great info, thank you! Yes, your opinions on a Ketogenic diet would be great! I am off at the moment but it is my preferred way of living with long distance sports and strength training.
Good information, thank you. A tip for your video production. In this video, you were continually rocking back a forth from the camera. This caused your camera to continually adjust its exposure. Either sit still or set your exposure and take your camera off of auto exposure. Or do both. This will limit the distracting exposure changes throughout the video. Thanks again!
Thanks for your invaluable videos. Intelligent and nicely presented
You are very good to us men at a time when mostly we're made to feel like knuckle dragging S
Over 60 male here... Started a Keto diet 6 years ago after the Doc diagnosed Type 2 diabetes with a 9.4 A1C. Yikes. Started my Keto Journey and noticed no appreciable weight loss per se... but, at about the 4.5 year mark, my A1C had dropped to about 6.3. I couldn't figure out what was keeping it up and so I then made a transition from Coke Zero to Zevia Cola and my A1C has dropped to 5.6. I sleep like a rock about 6.5 -7 hours a night, but I don't get to exercise that regularly (thanks C0vid) anymore. However, my T levels are pretty low. So, I've been taking a lot of supplements to help boost my immune system (helped beat C0vid without taking anything extra), but I didn't know about Ashwagandha. So, thanks for your immensely well done videos - they've been watched with much enthusiasm...! Off to the store for Ashwagandha...!
u dont really lose fat from keto or any other diet, u lose weight from being in a caloric deficit, for most ppl its easier to eat less calories especially without counting them on certain diets
Ashwagandha hasn't done anything for me the 3 months I've been taking it. (Using the liquid 'Herb Pharm' brand). But hopefully you get better results.
Check with your doctor to see if you can try intermittent fasting. I'm 40 and 2 months in lost about 20 lbs and feel better. Starting weight 205 height 6 foot
😊Thank you Dr Rina Malik!
Thanks for your advice Reena
Damn, you're good. I'm a 57 year old male facing issues you are addressing. I watched one of your videos, then another, and another. I can't tell you how much I appreciate the knowledge and insights I get from your content. Thank you SO much!
Your still a young man I'm 55 and feel like I'm 25 everyone thinks I'm 30
yes even if we ask you to expand, we love what you do
Simple then, just lose weight to increase testosterone - either by regular exercise, good diet or sleeping well or any combination - but individually apparently increase testosterone as well - and feeling fitter also increases self confidence and so libido.
I like how this dr. did this discussion. No other shits. Just pure knowledge with back up science. I will subscribe.
Thank you Dr. Malik for all the great tips!
You doing a Great job Dr
I've been doing that ketogenic diet and I can see the difference
Thank you for this video very informative.
Thank you for the valuable information
Hi Dr. Rena
I am 53 yr old lost about 50 lbs because of cut down on high carbs diet. When I was 18 and signed up for army training in was 172 lbs. Now at old age I am a healthy 160 lbs. Oh yeah got my T level tested, my doctor said I have high T at 953 .
I take a pomegranate pill every night and I try to eat avocados every day. I enjoyed eating food with a lot of green.
Thanks for the video.
1. For the pounds to melt off, incline treadmill walk first thing in the morning on an empty stomach 5 days a week for 30 minutes. Doing it in a fasted state forces your body to use stored energy, which is important for weight loss. You can do weight training in the evenings a couple times a week to rebuild muscle lost through weight loss - the net result being fat loss. 2. Exercise will then help u sleep better. Not sleeping enough is a stress to the body. The body doesnt lose weight when its stressed. 3. Eat more fibrous(as opposed to starchy) veggies and lean proteins and less carbs. Exercise, sleep and diet are 3 equal pieces of the fat loss pie. Without 1 piece of the pie, the process doesnt work.
Agree. Except for the lean protein. Recent knowledge increasingly states to use the more fatty proteins.
Incline treadmill walk works better for fat loss than running. Also it is not as hard on the body and joints and so it doesn't increase cortisol or appetite.
What about bike riding
Guy talks about strict diet and uses pie as a metaphor, yer killin' me bro!
Oh thank goodness you didn't mention cutting out pizza ;-)
Awesome, very informative, I am learning so much, so quickly, thanks for all your videos
Thank you for the video,

Yeah, she must. Had to chuckle when I red that. Good finish to your comment
Read (corr.)
Overall great video I just recently found you. I'm 52 years old, I've been ketogenic for 7 years, I get up at 5am and do a mixed training routine of weight lifting and calisthenics, fasted, 5 days a week, sleep 7-8 hours/night, drink ~100oz of water/day, stay away from alcohol during the week. Just had my testosterone levels checked at my last physical and I'm tracking at the levels normally seen in 30-35 year olds. Maintaining ~15% body fat and added 3.5 lbs of lean mass over the last year, which is supposed to be impossible for men over 50.....never been healthier in my entire life per my blood tests and extra inflammation markers I pay extra to have tested. The only other thing I would mention is proper supplementation. I'm not talking about TRT or god forbid steroids that will shutdown natural testosterone production forever.... don't do it. I mean a healthy amino acid mix, vitamins and electrolytes daily. Also DHEA, which is a natural testosterone precursor that the body produces up until ~18 years old then shutsdown in both men and women. Taking it as you get older gives your body the tools it needs to make it, naturally, with the proper stimulation like weightlifting. Research it first if you are considering it, some hereditary cancers can increase if you take it.... so get educated first and know your family medical history. Mike Munzel over at High Intensity Health does a good discussion on it.
Hey Sean, I'm a similar age, what do you consider a healthy amino acid mix? Which vitamins do you take? I don't mean to replicate it, but just curious to understand a reference point.
@@Kronx1970 Hi, happy to list what I do, I've curated my supplementation over a number of years. In regards to aiding in weight lifting I take a BCAA complex before and after lifting which contains L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine, L-valine, Taurine. I also take a nighttime recovery drink which contains L-Theanine, L-Glutamine, L-Leucine. Both are sold by Jeff Cavalier over at AthleanX the BCAA is called "Alpha RX" and the nighttime drink is called "Reconstruction". In regards to Keto, you have to remember its not a diet, its a permanent lifestyle and you are rewiring your body chemistry when you switch to being fat adapted so the body needs different things versus a carb based diet. I take a ketogenic multivitamin called Ketocore (on Amazon) which also has a probiotic complex for high fat diets to aid in gut health. I also supplement Vitamin B5 morning and night. B5 aids the body in converting fat to energy so its mandatory for Keto, if you are feeling fatigued in the afternoon you are probably not getting enough B5 on keto. I take Berberine at night, this aids in reducing blood sugar levels (glucose regulation) and lowering insulin as well as reducing overall inflammation in the body and oxidative stress. Vitamin D 5000IU's/day, the body uses vitamin D in ~100 processes and most people don't get enough. A good quality Omega 3 containing DHA and EPA daily. Lastly in the ketosis process in the liver the body sheds electrolytes (sodium, magnesium, potassium primarily) as part of that chemical reaction so I take an additional 2grams of salt in the morning in pill form and get ~5-7grams of total salt a day which will sound crazy to most people but its totally normally for a fully fat adapted ketogenic lifestyle. If you are getting tired in the afternoon and are on Keto you are also probably not getting enough salt in your diet along with the B5 listed above. Magnesium and Potassium round out the electrolytes. If you are getting muscle cramps during the day you don't have enough potassium, if you are getting muscle cramps at night you are not getting enough magnesium. As you can tell I'm somewhat of a biohacker. What does all that get me at 52 years old?.... Testosterone levels like a 35 year old, insulin level at 3 which is super low, glucose in the 60's, triglycerides in the 80's, c-reactive protein of 0.3 - anything lower than 1 is optimal, and a very healthy cholesterol of 382 and LDL of 289, which is perfect for keto. Also my ApoB/ApoA1 ratio is 0.5 (perfect), which is a far better estimator for cardiovascular risk than the garbage cholesterol test which is just a number based on a math calculation and is basically meaningless unless you look at all the other markers I listed above. Hope this helps.
Thank you for all the info. I'm 47 and just started Keto and your info really helps. Blessings and Gratitude.
@@seanmcdonald4156 I just turned 54 and I am 30-40 lbs overweight. This is exactly the type of information and level of detail that I need to put a good program in order. I appreciate you sharing your story with us.
Thank for sharing your experience.
Very nice presentation Doctor, I loved it 👍,
Blessings
Thanks for all that good information. You are a very smart Lady
Just an anecdotal observation. Started the Keto diet, transitioned to Carnivore and noticed an increase in testosterone type of response. BTW really like your videos and the information you present. Thank you.
Dr. Malik... I really enjoyed this and found it useful. I am an NP and PCP... As one the few male providers in the office I am often asked about this topic and having patient's ask about having their Testosterone levels checked. I am typically, suggesting near all of what you have suggested here although I did not recall the BPA impact.
I have typically consider testosterone replacement as a high risk medication and am reluctant to prescibe this. However, clinically I have found that once patient's are started on this, it is difficult to get them off it. Most frequently,these patient's were started on this prior to establishing with me. I often generally even discourage testing for this and advocate to motivating patient's to make diet and lifestyle changes. As quick look of my patient's found that I have had 12 patient's on testosterone supplementation that I am maintaining... 5 of those 12 patient's have had embolic events. 2 MIs, 1 CVA, 1 PE and 1 Mesenteric Embolism. Those 5, have since agreed to stop the testosterone supplement. All of them continue with low testosterone levels.
I have not found studies that have reviewed anti-coag with testosterone supplementation and was wondering your clinical experience regarding this. As a rule of thumb, I pause when I am considering start one med to counter the SE of another. I have suggested a 81-162 mg dose of ASA might reduce the risk, but again, no evidence to back this up. (Fundamentally, I do not believe better health comes with more meds.) I do believe that there is a connection between embolism and testosterone supplementation; however in all of my aforementioned cases it was not the root cause and there were other risk factors involved. I also suspect that through a string of "unfortunate events" I have had an abnormally high level of patient's with embolic events and testosterone supplementation - thus leaving me perhaps less than objective.
I try to use shared decision making w/ my patients, have clear and discrete discussion on risks associated testerone supplementation and encourage my patient's to encourage my patients to avoid practices / support habits that you discussed here. Todate, I have only maintained patients on testosterone and not started any on the medications (and would only do so following urology and endo consult). Clinically speaking, I find testosterone replacement to have high risk and relatively low gain... and for the most part be successful by suggesting those things which you present here. So, from your opinion... am I potentially under treating my patient's? Also, so decline in testosterone is also normal physiology and I do not think wise to alter what is a normal process associated with aging.
With kind regards...
It seems that this content creator is not active in the comments. But you left out a lot of important information. Do you believe it TRT is high risk for everyone? Certain age groups? Certain pre-existing conditions? I am a 37/m that has been on TRT for almost 3 years. It was probably the best thing I have done. I consume a lot of content especially from Derek from MPMD. I have had advise my doctor on several occasions on how to continue my TRT to get the results that I wanted. I have gone from pinning from every other week to once a week and am now pinning twice a week. This was to maintain a more steady and natural state of testosterone in my body and to counteract the rise in estradiol that my labs were showing. He tried putting me on aromatase inhibitors to combat this. The side effects were so bad and just crushing my estrogen into the ground which is still needed in males for your neuro health. So I suggested to him that I would pin more often instead of adding more drugs. I also donate blood everyone 8 weeks to keep my RBC down. I have never felt better, active, and it probably saved my marriage.
Thank you for the information!
Very useful information, thank you for that, you are kind.
I've been doing the keto diet since August (the Atkins diet really). And I've lost 45 pounds. I am really faithful and I measure the ketones to make sure I'm in ketosis. But I've also been walking at least two miles per day. The best parts of Atkin: reducing my appetite- the lack of cravings is what makes this diet work for me; the energy; the freedom to eat foods I like; I actually eat more vegetables on the diet than I would off the diet because I'm following the rules pretty heartily; and the biggest benefit is the weightloss.
I finally found you! By accident! Finally, scientifically based information I can use to make my own, informed decisions with. I am so grateful for you!
Really good video, Dr. Thanks!
You are the BEST doctor. Thank you.
1) Lose weight, 2) Exercise, 3) Eat organic, unprocessed foods, keto diet, 4) Adequate rest, 5) Avoid endocrine disruptors (plastics, pesticides, skin products).
She never mentions keto?
Thanks for the great video Rena! A question about the 4-week soy protein extract (or isolate) study: does the soy protein have any phytoestrogens left (or were they lost in the extraction/purification process)? Ethanol-washed soy protein isolates contain only minimal amounts of isoflavones (
Soy contains estrogen mi.icking compounds ! Soy products feminize Men & males, & cause sexual confusion, in children.
Excellent presentation. Thank you.
I had a low activity life style smoked weed everyday ate pretty healthy but didn't eat frequent or healthy enough I went from 275 pounds to 260 after I quit and started eating proper everyday then went back to weight training lost another 10 pounds now I feel amazing I'm hungry all the time its all about consistency I know this doesn't have much to do with the video about the weed but just putting it out there a lot of trial and error mixed with anxiety and self pity I know many of my bro's and sis's out there are struggling with similar situations. Don't give up keep pushing stop smoking start grinding and you will feel better it takes times don't give up your life is valuable and necessary for all our futures. We need you. Clealryfiltered is a little expensive but well worth it at getting your body the pure water it needs fluoride free atrazine free take care of yourself because indeed you are worth it always remember god is with you and you have to make every choice count.
Am 63 and did a Keto type of diet and lost 40 lbs earlier this year. Energy boosted and Testosterone seems to be much better. Avocado seems to have a positive effect for me.
63 damn u need to call it quits already lol
@@JayJay-hk3oq ??? bro still easily has 1/3 of his life left to go if he keeps himself healthy wym
