Great talk. First a comment on protons. As they are actually Hydrogen ions, it is very likely that they participate in the "uncoupling" by forming water (H2O) which will carry the excess heat away cooling the mitochondria preventing their overheating. BTW I've 45 years as a biomedical engineer. Next I started a "Gundry Diet" 30 months ago. In the 2nd day of the diet my GERD of 39+ years went away and has not returned. Nine months later my sore throat healed. A few months later I no longer had eye "floaters" bothering my vision: usually showed up every few weeks. And finally I believe my left hip is about to completely heal after being ok-ed for a hip replacement since MRI and Xrays had shown no cartilage in the hip socket or head of femur 5 years ago. Thank you Dr. Gundry!
It is really frustrating trying to discover the truth in nutrition "science". It seems like every doctor cherry picks and formulates their hypotheses to fit their biases. When I heard of his background at Loma Linda, I immediately knew it was going to be a vegetarian leaning pitch. You can just as easily find an authority you like that pitches carnivore.
Although, from an evolutionary and physiological perspective, the carnivores seem to be standing on firmer ground.
Why is it frustrating? Nutrition is entirely individual. There is no (truth)perfect diet that will work for everyone. If people had enough body intuition, they would exactly know what to eat. Simple rule is good digestion. After a meal do you feel energized, alert, happy or down? Just experiment and see which foods work for you. Most likely, local whole food that your ancestors would recognize works best for you.
That being said, all the longevity data points to a mediterranean(polyphenols) diet being superior. Carnivore is mostly a elemination diet for people that are obese, sick(autoimmune, leaky gut) or have microbiome issues. Unfortunately, alot of plant foods in the US are poisoned with pesticides, insecticides and herbicides. Roundup(glyphosate) is a big mistake. Bio organic is the way.
You won't find a pure meat and chicken pork beef fat diet that works to burn fat and stop cravings and stop inflammation. You still need the minerals directly found in underground vegetables as Dr Gundry has mentioned the purple sweet potato. Perhaps you can have a beef soup with green onion and carrot and stop the craving for sugars and salts. Also he supports the mediterranean diet where people eat salty foods like sardines and green olives in vinegar. They get polyphenols from unblended olive oils.
Carnivore and vegetarian are both truth. And with respect to keto it does not matter.
@@markveen1373 Some individuals do not know how to research, and rely on anecdotes offered by these people with no citations or empirical evidence. The information is often contradictory, when compared to other proponents of vegetarian and carnivore diets and therefore confusing and in turn frustrating.
One of my favorite things about Dr. Gundry is he is not afraid to be wrong and is always guided by the research and he is willing to update his beliefs as new research evolves and we have a better understanding of what is happening and how things work. I think it’s a rare trait and definitely one I admire. 💕
Yeah he should revise his books so not to Lead people down the wrong path as he cashes in on the sales. Wfpb works no supplements but vit D b12
@@JnTmarie Exactly. The 2nd "revised" book is more income, nothing else. 90% of the advice here is deadly, as with other advice in the internet. As can be seen historically. 20 years ago the universal panacea was "no fat" Every ten years they discover they were "wrong"
Too bad Grundy is not up to date/ignores the Oxalate issue in plants.
@@miatafunrun3078 Actually Dr. Gundry does address oxalates in his books. What you missed is that people in general are different from each other. So certain people are affected by oxalates and others are not. Dr. Gundry treats a large number of patients and test for people who may have this problem. He literally tailors his approach to the individual. I know this for a fact because I am one of his patients.
@@JnTmarie You seem to not understand Capitalism. I have read all of Dr. Gundry's books and have learn more new information from each book. I also, listen to his weekly podcasts which are free where Dr. Gundry explains how his thinking continues to evolve as he learns the results of new research. So, what you are asking is already available free.
I didn't particular like Dr Gundry at first, but he is one of my fave these days...very independent health thinker. Of course, Casey is a great interviewer!
Thank you for such valuable information!
This is great! Thank you both.
Wonderful! Thank you!
I am LOVING this conversation! I was soooooooooo excited to see Dr. Gundry on a Levels podcast. He’s one of my faves. I have listened to almost all of his books and gifted his books so family and friends. Love love love this podcast conversation! 💕✨
Just discovered you work, love it!!!
Thank you really wonderful. Best of luck to you both. M
Best intro to Dr. G. ever! Nicely done, Dr. Casey!
Every time I try to watch one of these videos, I fall asleep....
Hi Dr. Means I have been fat , diabetic and Software Engineer since1996. Not exact in that order. Lots of yo yo dieting and lots of failures and disappointments. I got the idea of CGM from one of your interviews with diet doctor. Life has been changed since then. As I mentioned I am data head by trade. I couldn’t afford Levels service but I could make my insurance give me a Dexcom. Now I know many things which help me to fight with knowing about behind the enemy line. I live within line of my AGP. I hope I know you and your company sooner. It was good for both of us. And for many people in world.
Great podcast, Can you do a in depth podcast on cgm readings on a keto/ low carb way of eating, what affects exercise ,fasting and eating etc has on readings. 👌🏼
I take a few supplements myself eg magnesium but is it really ok to be taking 200 supplement tablets a day ? Is that ancestrally appropriate?
Great information about efficiency of body fuel.
Brilliant.
So eat mostly plants for longevity and uncoupling of mitochondria, but your screwed either way because of todays pesticide and nutrient depleted soils.
I so love Dr Gundry.
Omega 6 is a signaling molecule but doesn't make energy. A ketone can make energy and is basically a hybrid of a carb. and fat.
I believe the liver is good at making and getting ketones into the blood and the individual cell needs to upgrade to use ketones better over time.
The body makes sugar and the muscles store enough for a rough situation. My brain loves ketones and so does my body. I also believe ketosis should be cycled by weeks or months on and off.
Loved the talk!
Always enlightening to listen to Dr Gundry 😁
I love dr. Gundry. He is full of great information. Having read all of his books watched a lot of his videos and shared his message as many places as I could to help others. I am a Christian and fully believe in a creator. I love how many times do all the different interviews and books that he published we talk about design. But we haven't quite come to the conclusion there is a designer.
First time I ever gasped any part of this teacher. Thanks to "Levels" organizer, quiet pleasant cousin of us all.
I just dont get the statement at 21:45 that if you're in ketosis 24/7 your body thinks you must be starving to death. The presence of ketones indicates your dominant fuel source, nothing more. The presence of ketones does not imply calorie deficit. What IS he talking about?? 'Protect the mitochondria by taking the muscles out'?
Still hoping you interview Sara Aguilar the British Health Anthropologist soon. She's also an expert on keto and supplements yo enhance the benefits that this diet can give when it comes to exercise performance, weight loss and hormonal health
Dr. Gundry. The point is less with keto about weight loss than bringing down insulin spikes. Nobody on Keto is consuming twice the number of calories a day. You set up a little straw man there so you could knock it down. No, you consume 1600 to 1800 calories for a woman and the point of the high fat is to control hunger. Fasting in the keto world is not consuming carbs or protein so you begin the day with some MCT oil. Ketones keep you from feeling hungry so you can master yourself. Carbohydrates causes glucose and insulin spikes and soon after you are starving again. That hamburger will only last you a few hours til your insulin stores as much of that glucose as fat as it can and then your blood glucose drops and you are hungry again.
Mitochondrial uncoupling and brown fat does have some relevance but how the polyphenols work for helping achieving the desired result or goal needs some more explanation.....
No wonder that sheep herders have such long lives. Many of them live in arid regions and must get hydration and calories from goat yoghurt and milk as well as olives from sun drenched regions.
I didn't think hummingbirds could survive in captivity?!
Super love the podcast.. =) Doctor Gundry's books changed my life! MITCHONDRILA UNCOUPLING Power for life! -From the Philippines
Uncoupling is another gimmick.
23:22 this explanation basically explains why starvation dieting has destroyed our metabolisms
I wonder how these new findings could help alleviate people struggling with mental health such as schizophrenia.
Purple sweet potatoes are full of oxalate, yet he is recommending it! He never talks about the effect of excess oxalates in our diet!
Right the adaptations to starvation can't be a mode that's long term beneficial, whether we artificially induce it via keto or not.
28:30 birds live long compared to their metabolic rate. So the parrots live longest. They eat fruit for calories. Fruit is the food lowest in iron. Why don't other frugivore birds live as long as the parrots? They are smaller. With increasing diameter of intestines, ratio of volume of bacteria relative to intestinal area increases, so gut bacteria grab a bigger slice of available iron, further slowing iron accumulation of the bird.
Less iron longer life.
35:31 polyphenols chelate metals (including iron) and that is probably another main reason why plants have polyphenols, especially since top soil contains 1-5% iron.
Regarding uncoupling mitochondria I'm not buying this yet. The highly cited 2000 paper
'Uncoupling to survive? The role of mitochondrial inefficiency in ageing'
concludes saying there is yet no direct evidence that it decreases ROS or increases lifespan.
I have seen nothing in more recent studies since that would reaffirm the initial beliefs that it lowers ROS or manages lifespan.
Here we go: '...suggesting that uncoupling is a mitochondrial protective mechanism against acute iron overload'. From
'Uncoupling and oxidative stress in liver mitochondria isolated from rats with acute iron overload', 2009
37:08 actually what changes at higher altitudes is there is more iron in soil (hence more polyphenols imo): '...We found that total iron content significantly decreases (R2=0.966) at lower altitudes.'
From
Differences in total iron content at various altitudes of Amazonian Andes soil in Ecuador, 2020
Keto diet in child epileptic patients can be stopped after several years. It's not a lifetime diet
Apple cider vinegar will cause mitochondria uncoupling. I have some capsules.
My parrot constantly eats and eats anything flies like crazy goofy smart and is extremely lean.
My parrot discovered a new form of power to run cars that does not pollute the environment.
The research on biomicrome is not definitive yet. We really don't know what our microbiome should be and the fact there are healthy vegans and carnivores tells me that our microbiome is just based on what we eat, and healthy gut bacteria is what prefers nonprocessed foodds.
I think he probably left surgery because he was tired of getting up at 4:00 in the morning.
So Mr Gundry doesn’t eat food he swallows pills, no thanks
Like dr Grundy but think he is wrong on this.
This part of uncoupling and wasting energy, is nothing too new ... I've saw it before from Mr. Ben Bikman ...
No offense to the good Doctor and his many achievements, but I think Professor Benjamin Bikman of Brigham Young University has a much better understanding of the subject and explains it much more clearly.
I'm certain he would not take offense since yours is just a personal preference and not a matter of fact😀
@@StarvingMyselfToLIFE Actually, Professor Bickman teaches this particular subject, along with macronutrient metabolism and insulin resistance, and is currently conducting experiments in mitochondrial bioenergetics. My personal preferences have nothing to do with it. No one is required to believe me, of course, but everyone should watch Dr. Bickman if they are interested in this subject.
You state Dr. Ben teaches this more clearly and has a better understanding. That is a personal opinion, no?
If there is a particular vid where Dr. Ben talks about mitochondrial uncoupling you can refer, I would love to hear bit. I listen to him a lot and have yet to hear him address this particular subject.
@@StarvingMyselfToLIFE The latest discussion (that I've seen) by Professor Bickman on the subject is from a month ago on Ben Pakulski - Muscle Intelligence. It's entitled, "The Truth About Metabolism, Animal Protein, and Insulin." It's very informative. I've seen him discuss it in even greater detail on other videos. If you type Ben Bickman Mitochondrial Uncoupling into the UA-cam search function a bunch of videos pop up. As an aside, MY biases may come from the fact that I'm a carnivore (although, as far as I know, Dr. Bikman is not).
Nothing wrong with my brain a dr frightened me on dr berg wanted to look in my brain I had to get out my own house
You’re beautiful
Dr. makes no sense, metabolism of glucose produces more waste products, ketones are clean. Besides, all the talk about “stupid” inefficiency of wasting protons is a value judgement, not scientific. Achieving efficiency by mitochondria, when metabolizing high value food, is maybe not a priority of mitochondria when having luxury of having animal fat as food.
Dr Means, you are clearly intimidated by this guy since you did not ask a single challenging question. You labeled this guy a "leader" and your right...he has lead us down the toilet. Look at where we are with metabolic diseases on his watch. ANYBODY you interview should be challenged, not have their ego fluffed with over the top worship. I am losing faith in you and Levels.
This guy has no idea what he's talking about his book has already been debunked he's clueless
I've listened to Gundry many times and he never says what Big Ed was taking to reduce his arterial plaque. Does anyone know?
