I absolutely disagree that A1c is useful. It's the most worthless test invented. It is not based on actual value. It's based on theory and within the theory there is a flaw and that flaw is based on the one size fits all jack-in-the-box nonsense
My question for anyone who knows Is fruit also bad for my health? Can fructose from fruit cause diabetes Other than fruit, I believe food I eat is healthy. Things I avoid Alcohol, bread, noodles, pasta, candy, sugar, processed foods I do eat plain Greek yogurt with no sugar I eat eggs-boiled, canned sardines in olive oil, peanut butter made with just peanuts and salt Raw mushrooms, raw jalapeño peppers When I go out to eat, I’ll get a steak or pork ribs cooked with no sauces Also sometimes I’ll eat avocados I just hope fruit is not going to give me diabetes Maybe I should get the blood test you recommend Thanks!
I’m over 70 now, when I was younger, I ate junk foods, typical American diet Sodas, breads, pastas, pizzas, sauces, mayonnaise, barbecue sauce loaded with vegetable oils and sugar Maybe it’s not too late to reverse course. I dunno
@@davidhughes4785 no it is definitely not too late. Get off the carbs get off the plants get off the heavily processed foods eaten meat eggs butter bacon animal-based diet you will be glad you did.
@@davidhughes4785 Hi David, you do need fruits in your diet. Just eat fruits in small amounts and with a low glycemic index. If people have diabetes already perhaps they would need to avoid fruits. I know of three doctos here on UA-cam that mention how important it is not to cut fruits out of your diet; if you want I can let you know thier names. Hope this helps.
I thank you all, Mike, Liza, and Vanessa Looks like a diet that is mostly Keto, with only a small amount of relatively low sugar fruits and vegetables included As one doctor here on UA-cam said, “The poison is in the dose” The way I see his statement, is a small amount of fruit might be less harmful to health, a large amount of fruit or “dose” can be poisonous-leading to diabetes and heart disease. Maybe I’m a fruit sugar junky Maybe so, still I must watch my portion sizes of these types of foods! Thank you all!
@@dictumfactum9468 I have a relative who's a dr. I believe he was clueless about the vax. He wanted to know why I didn't want to take it. I said graphene. I hope he researched! I need to call him, I hope he retires! The smartest people I know rejected what people were saying about the C-19, etc. I'm still well. My family swore off shots in 2018.
It is astonishing how many doctors today treat their patients like a script or robot like. In my case, I recently had my blood work done with my former doctor. My cholesterol came out to be 215 and Ldl was 150. He immediately wanted to put me on a statin drug. He did not ask anything about my diet or what has been going on. I have been doing a high fat, high protein diet (ketovore). I then ask him about doing an Apo B lipoprotein test. He said he has never heard of this in his life. I will also assume he does not know about the triglyceride-hdl ratio either. That was enough for me to decide to switch to another doctor.
Some perspective may help. Physician practices are shaped by reality. The reality is, 95% of patients already have heard and read about the lifestyle factors contributing to high cholesterol, obesity, insulin resistance (i.e. diabetes risk), etc. Where could someone be raised in the USA for the past 35 years without hearing about it 1000 times before the age of 40, a strict Amish community? In remote Alaskan wilderness or bayous of Louisiana? The vast majority of people aren't going to change their dietary and nutritional practices. They are given the info by doctors and they just don't do it. So that leaves.....???
@@deeder001 Good point. I think the pharmaceutical industry is out of control; however, i think that most Americans are truly looking for a pill/procedure to treat their ailments rather than be prescribed lifestyle modifications.
Absolutely,,the big pharma is Absolutely taking advantage of people who want the easy way out,,,but what they don't know is that getting some exercise and eating well is a whole lot easier that taking all those drugs that actually cause one problem after another. The body is meant to heal itself and given the right conditions, it will. It's about balance,,it's not rocket science, I'm glad of that cause I'm just an old farm girl 😉
I am a retired laboratory professional who keeps up on this stuff and asked my physician about ordering the labs a couple of years ago as I am at risk for diabetes. (Both parents became T2D’s at about the same age I am now. Fortunately he is an agreeable sort and although I don’t believe he’d heard of the calculation he went ahead and ordered the fasting glucose and insulin. I ended up doing the calculations myself and discovered I was creeping upward in an unhealthy direction. Turned it all around in 6 months. (intermittent fasting, cut the carbs, NO snacking.) My mom’s last 10 years we’re not fun, I’m not going there……..
Exactly...it kills me when I hear saying stopping carbs and eating clean is inconvenient..it inconvenient for me to eat crappy and be sick all the time...hello
My doctor diagnosed me with type 2 diabetes 3 years ago. He wanted to start me on Metforman. I asked himto give me 3 months to turn this around, which he did. Went back in 3 months with my latest blood test which was OK. He agreed to let me keep going which I did for 9 months, having blood taken every 3 months. He did not ask me to have a blood test for the next 6 months. I did it all with diet and exercise, NO sugar NO carbs, and fasting.
I'd only say you aren't the property of your doctor. Doctor's "orders" are only for nurses, not patients. You are NEVER required to take a medication your doctor wants you to take or beg for "permission" not to. Doctors give advice. You are always free to reject or postpone that advice. No "permission" required.
I'm afraid to go to my yearly this month. I'm afraid that I may be diagnosised with T2D. I'm very afraid to start on a medicine regime. I will take your idea and ask for time to turn my health around. I hope the dr agrees.
@@cynthiakeller5954 I think that's a very good decision. Type 2 Diabetes can be reversed by changing the lifestyle. Intermittent Fasting and Keto Diet is a very good way to regain your health.
Nurse here too with 30 years’ experience. Dr. Dhand is spot on. Many in the medical establishment have become box checkers. It’s hard to make eye contact with them. They follow the “expert” guidelines. End of story. Dissent not allowed. Educate yourself and take responsibility together with solid advice. Eat good, clean food. I’m pushing 60 and going strong. Metabolic health is great. Thanks Dr. Dhand for all you do.
I solved my insulin resistance with the Ketogenic Diet. Lost 75 pounds in a year only by changing my diet and everything is better than better. Thank you for your ongoing efforts at truth and education. Cheers!
@@DUB-sential Only insulin resistance which is the precursor to Type 2. The keto diet is the most scientifically researched diet we have. Read The Ketogenic Bible. Best source.
So how is your LDL or ApoB? It's great that you lost the weight, because that is what reversed your insulin resistance, but the general ketogenic diet has a 30% higher mortality rate than healthy diets if followed for a prolonged time.
Dr. you are 100% right. I said this 20 yrs ago when I went vegan. I am now 72. My doctor can't find out anything wrong with my health. I do not take any drugs., alcohol, no smoking. And I never took the vaccine. My Dr. said I am in the .001% of the people who come into his office. LOL. When I go into his office for a once a yr. check up.We have great conversation , he likes to here what I say. He is definitely curious about my health. I love the look on his face when I tell him I still work out in the gym 3 times a week. Keep up the good work Dr.Dhand. The world needs more people like you.
I'm 65 and also completely healthy. Low LDL, great blood pressure, no insuline resistance. Never had any health issues except an autoimmune skin disease that was reversed when I went whole food vegan 12 years ago (I was a vegetarian for 42 years before that). Never took those vaccines, never got covid, or if I did I didn't notice. I do flexibility and strength training, and I'm building my own house. Let's keep going!
I am 70 and only go to my 30 year old primary health doctor to request tests. She knows I will never take drugs and will always take issues and solve them with nutrition. I recently realized that my BUN test had been on the low side for quite a few years and everyone told me my panel was good. Well....looked it up and it is indicative of a low protein intake. I am working on increasing it so I don't end up with low muscle mass as I get older. Unfortunately my doctors are not interested in anything I have to say about herbs or nutrition.
Great information! I sometimes think though... Big pharma, and others who side with them, don't like it when Doctors like you teach people correct ways of treating your health the right ways. Somehow these Doctors disappear. Not trying to alarm you, just true! Please be careful.
Homa IR is what Dr. Sten Ekberg talks about a lot. Legendary talks about good and bad foods as well as how they interact with the body in different areas. Real in depth stuff and definitely helps putting a good "diet" together.
Yep, that's how I knew about this test and its purpose - so many people think they're 'OK" because their glucose is not elevated; They don't realize how hard their body is working and how much insulin is being pumped out to keep them inline. Dr. Ekberg's videos are superb!!!!
ekberg is been debunked. he typically exagerates and cherry picks studies, but usually he doesnt name any any scientific studies. and he doesnt care about studies which totally contradicts them.
Greetings: Thank you Dr. As a retired nurse, I appreciate your teachings...truth is so refreshing to hear. Instruction with emphasis on dietary intake is such a bonus versus pushing medication. Keep up your awesome medical " ministry of truth" God bless🙏 Judy 🙏
Thank you for speaking out against the ongoing scam in healthcare. I have paid close attention to Dr.Eric Berg, DC for the past few years. We need more doctors like you who feed us the truth for our benefit. Blessings to you!
FYI, you might like to know that Dr Berg STILL IS an active member of Scientology. His product profits go to this "church". Besides, he has never practiced as an MD, only as an ostheopathist, and most of his "tips" I could collect too, from browsing the internet, and pretending I sorted it all out, just because it's on the pad in my hand-writing... Thought you might like to know...
Eric Berg is a chiropractor, not a medical doctor and yet he has an opinion on everything. I will not take medical advice from him or any other chiropractor!!! Get your information from Doctors like Dr Dhand or Dr Sten Ekberg.
Dr D It’s so refreshing to see there is a doctor out there that isn’t pushing pills! Getting back to natural food without any additives or hormones or pesticides and herbicides, fillers or added sugars, should be the norm! I’d like to have a Doctor like you!! Love your videos. Keep them coming!!
I'm 68 years old and my primary diet is organic raw vegan. I cheat sometimes with processed and sugar foods, but it's a treat, not a lifestyle. I live in a high rise apartment building for people over 65. About 3 months ago and agency started bring the residents FREE food. It was processed meats, sugar, processed prepared foods, canned foods, etc. I've been eating this on a regular basis for a few months and saving my money from my regular diet. I had a regularly scheduled appointment with my primary doctor last week and the bloodwork came back as a nightmare. I've been going to her for 8 years and FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER - my vitamin D and B12 was so dangerously low she started me on meds right away. For the first time in my life - my cholesterol was dangerously high and she started me on meds for that as well. And my blood pressure is high for the first time. I could tell even more, but I doubt anyone will read this because it's so long.
Thank you for your comment. Some people actually still love reading and actively look for long comments which are very often even more informative than the actual content that inspired the comment. I actually believe that this is one of the most critical ways of discovering new information in our time: people are more lonely and socially disconnected from friends, family and community than ever before but we do mostly have access to the internet and social media in virtually 'real time', so this does still allow the exchange of belief systems, ideas, rumours and unfortunately propaganda to be dispersed. Once upon a time, we had clan or village, or tribe meetings, or a town crier, a village square, an agora, a speak easy, or a simple wooden crate to stand upon and have the ability to share our thoughts with our local community but this has sadly virtually all but disappeared in modern society. Are we all better off for this? I don't think so. there is an epidemic of loneliness and a general lack of cohesion within communities. What is the solution? We can all attempt to use social media systems to encourage others to share information, to share ideas and most importantly to create genuine face to face community groups to rebuild many healthy, happy people one at a time and then to connect these individuals with other genuine individuals.
I have so many questions for you, if you don't mind? You mention that "and agency" started to bring the residences free food, do you know what the name of the group is? Is the food brought in branded bags or boxes? Is it part of a corporate-private-government food bank imitative? I wasn't sure if "and" was a typo for "an", or "ad" agency. I hate to be so pedantic but details like this are often really important...especially if your health is at stake. All of the best
@@VelcraDeFang I was just about to turn off my computer and saw your email. Am I ever glad I did because I'm now going to sleep better with it in mind that there is another like minded person out there that I can relate to - Our Community. And I believe that this community is rapidly growing. I'm not a follower of the "church", but I consider myself spiritual. Many in the church are saying it's the "end of times". I chose to say it's the "time of transition". I saw your second reply as well. Wanted to let you know I will respond to you tomorrow. Thank you again for your wonderful and thoughtful reply. You'll hear from me again tomorrow. All best to you as well....
Look at this time as a teaching moment. Now you have first hand experience with what bad food does and how quick it can affect you. I had similar experience. Was really ill for 1 year and ate prepared food because it was convenient. Developed fatty liver, gained 10 pounds and other issues. My ct scan scared me into eating healthy. Down 25 # and doing better each day. No sugar, processed food, grains, etc. I miss the poison but can’t afford the effects it has on my body. Bless you and have a speedy recovery.
If there is a Silver Lining to the covid debacle, it’s that it was an engine to introduce the world to Dr. Dhand and Dr. John Campbell’s lectures. A very warm thank you from my family to both of you.
Yes, but for most physicians, it's an invaluable testimonial to their proficiency in curing patients. This statement does not truly reflect the aspirations of most MDs who simply want their patients to get well. There is no shortage of sick people so doctors are not going to be "out of business" just because their patients get well.
@@MisterHowzat: So, do you also believe Big Pharma truly cares about the health and welfare of the patients who take their drugs or are they incentivized to make obscene profits at the expense of others?
I had this test and 49 other blood tests done with my "over 60 male VIP checkup" in K.L. Malaysia. (less that $300.00 USD) They took the blood first thing in the morning and had the results that afternoon. I won't go to doctors in the USA anymore unless I am on deaths doorway.
@caseymuller3480 That’s nice, I have Been diagnosed with a cancer and I will definitely need her help and would also want to know how to get in touch with her. I hope she cures other sickness also?
I went on an 18 hour fasting diet. For the next 6 hours i ate anything i wanted. I did it for 2 months and i lost 40 pounds. I am off the diet now and gained back 10 pounds. What intermittent fasting taught me was educate my brain to eat sensibly.
I am also an IM doc enormously frustrated w “mainstream” medicine. I’m angry that so much of my time and brain was filled w “miseducation”. I am now frantically trying to glean medical information on how to help my patients via UA-cam and podcasts from brave intelligent physicians like you. HOW do I now reeducate myself?! Until this video I have never heard of this equation. Former colleagues under the heavy thumb of monopolistic corporate med avoid the conversations like the plague and ostracize any physician who dares question the obvious. Help!
There is the Institute for Functional medicine- offer courses and certifications. I have looked for MDs from this list. Btw- thank u and good for u keep going!
It's true. I'm a physician and had never heard of this. An endocrinologist likely will have, but by the time you see one of those, you're probably already sick.
You are correct Dr. Dhand, no one knew what I was talking about when I appeared at my GP clinic to discuss this blood test. I was told I didn't need it and couldn't seem to get my GP or anyone else to do a test that 1. They never heard of it. 2 Their lab didn't know of it. When I eventually did get to a hospital blood draw ( from sheer perseverance,) I had to wait over a week for the result because Quest Diagnostics was doing the lab work and the blood work had to be sent out from the hospital to their facility, wherever that was. They either lost the blood sample or never received it. That was experience with the HOMA-IR. All this took place in January and February 2023. LOVE. PEACE. God Bless
I have now had this the fasting insulin test done several times. The most recent was at a Quest labs location because my clinic does not do it on site. So I asked the quest tech why and was told that the blood sample for the insulin test has to be kept frozen or refrigerated until it gets to the lab doing the analysis (The Quest blood draw station I went to had to cold-pack the sample and send it to their lab hundreds of miles away for processing.) . Quest provides the special cool-pack kits if such a clinic wants to do the blood draw on site but they have to have a refrigerator or freezer to keep it cool until Quest picks the sample up. As soon as I can arrange it, I will be confronting the medical director and my PCP regarding this because of their lack of knowledge on insulin resistance and testing and will strongly suggest they get the needed fridge/freezer so they can start providing competent healthcare. Once I learned of this test and was able to get it done, I was able to monitor my insulin resistance with my fasting insulin level dropping from 15 to as low as 2.6, well under the 6 suggested by Benjamin Bikman in his book "Why We Get Sick"
I saw a piece on Facebook few weeks back, it was an elderly lady and they said to her what's her secret too a very long life,she simply said keep well away from doctors and hospitals enough said I think.
I’ve heard that before too, its scary but probably true. My dr is always trying to put me some drug and tells me to stop lifting weights so much….huh???
I eat a meat based diet, with very limited dairy. Total game changer. Lost 45 pounds, no more joint pain, Hashimoto’s thyroid antibodies reduced drastically, anxiety and depression gone, no more fatigue. All labs, including cholesterol are within normal limits. Sugar, grains and seed oils are killing us all!
I’m the same, went from being exhausted and achy all the time to feeling full of energy and pain free. I also had insomnia real bad, not being able to get to sleep and waking often. Now I sleep straight through the night. I’ve only started recently and lost 20 pounds without even trying. I limit dairy and eggs as i had a mild allergy to them. I do take a break and sometimes do aKeto diet with added low carb vegetables and berries.
Thanks for bringing light to this disease. I suffered for years with low blood sugar aka hypoglycemia. A turned on naturopath immediately recognized I had insulin resistance too and would become diabetic if left untreated. He prescribed a diet to correct the IR and turned my life around❤my GP and endocrinologist were completely ignorant of the symptoms or blood tests.
Do eat more meat and eggs and butter. Do not eat carbs like industrial sugar, bread, cake, grain, sweets, coke and so on. Fresh fruits and cooked veggies are very healthy, but don't eat too much of them.
Dr. Dhand in March my hubby and I started taking control of our health. In May, I asked my doctor for the HOMA IR test and discovered that mu number was 2.5. Since March, I have lost 65 pounds (and counting). I had my HOMA IR redone at the doctors, yesterday, and it’s now 1.4!! That’s a decrease of 1.1 SIX months! So, if I keep going at my next visit I should be at the coveted 1.0 or less!! I can’t that you enough, and I know you are saving lives every single day! Happy Thanksgiving!!
I am a Medical Technologist (Laboratory Scientist) and had not heard of this test or calculation . It makes perfect sense however . I am becoming such a huge fan of your videos and thank you for your diligence and unbiased advice!! I have not received the vaccine . I lost my fiancé who had diabetes to Covid in 2020 . I also have had the virus at that time and again in 2022. My immune system was able to heal from it both times with using vitamin C , D etc .
My doctor will not even discuss doing fasting insulin. She says "it doesn't tell us anything" - useless. Thankfully I get my own blood tests and ignore her.
Every year my doctor tests MANY things and gives me and my wife about 7 pages of results including a table with the present and previous 2 lipid ( cholesterol etc ) results- excellent. He’s very nice too
As well as removing processed food from diet, fasting or time-restricted eating can help improve insulin resistance. Note that you have to fix the diet first though, very difficult to fast when you are still eating junk food, because of the extreme hunger that causes. That was my experience anyway.
yeah, it would be tough to go cold turkey with that. I'd want to make some good switches first to get that brain loop turned around. You also want to keep a teeny bit of natural sugar to make sure your gut can work. I'd probably do fresh or frozen north American berries or something.
Please be careful about fasting. I know it's sold as a good thing to do but it can seriously aggravate your gallbladder and cause gallstones. 1 out of 3 women have gallstones up to three times the rate of men. Gallbladder issues can eventually lead to liver and pancreatic problems, it can cause night sweats, stomach upsets, fatigue, bloating, referred pain, vomiting and reflux Having your gallbladder removed puts you on a permanent low fat, little and often diet which then effects the absorption of some vitamins notably vit D. Please stay healthy and make wise choices 🙏
Very true, fasting gave me amazing results when my blood pressure was uncontrollable on three medicines! Some of the many benefits of doing occasional extended fasting: Blood clotting is reduced and blood clots and arterial plaque are reabsorbed into the body. High blood pressure is lowered to normal levels very quickly while fasting. Fibrosis/scarring is reversed over time. Fasting increases nitric oxide release. Vitamin D plasma levels are increased as fasting improves metabolic health, and vitamin D in turn increases autophagy. Stomach acid is reduced over time while fasting and can allow for the healing of treatment resistant ulcers, but some patients may need continued acid reducation medication while fasting. Fasting reduces pain and anxiety by stimulating the endocannabinoid system in a similar way to CBD oil. Fasting stimulates phagocytosis, the ingestion of bacteria, plaques and viruses by the immune system. It will also remove any 'foreign material' that is not supposed to be there. Reflexes and short term memory are increased. Fasts from 36-96 h actually INCREASE metabolic rate due to norepinephrine release! After 72 hours or more fasted, your body recycles as much as 1/3 of all immune bodies and creates new ones, rejuvenating your entire immune system. Fasting can help with MS, Depression, BPD, Autism and seizures. Thymus is regenerated, which suppresses aging and renews the immune system. The thymus also plays a vital role in fighting cancer. Weight loss from daily caloric restriction has 1/4 to 1/3 of the weight lost as lean tissue while many studies show fat loss from 36 h fasts without losing any lean tissue! The hunger hormone ghrelin also lowers with extended fasting and rises from dieting. Blood sugar and insulin are lowered, allowing white blood cells to move more freely throughout the body and do their job. Some viruses activate glycolosis (the release of sugar in the body) and clinically it has been shown that decreasing glucose metabolism in the body weakens the influenza virus. When you move out of MTOR your body shuts down the building blocks of the cell which are used to produce organelles and proteins. This means the mechanisms needed by viruses to replicate are by and large unavailable when you are in a deeply fasted state. What breaks a fast? Anything with protein or carbohydrates in it will break a fast, though if the amount is tiny you will go back into ketosis very quickly. Most teas and herbs are OK. Most supplements and meds will either break ketosis directly or contain a filler that will. Many meds are dangerous to take while fasting. Does fasting lower testosterone? No, it raises it when the fast is broken by increasing lutenizing hormone. Fasting also increases insulin sensitivity, which helps with muscle building. Fasts of 36-96 will not affect short term female fertility or affect menstrual cycle. They also may increase long term fertility, especially in women with PCOS. The hormone Leptin is an immunomodulator that keeps the body from attacking itself and obesity causes leptin resistance. Fasting very quickly reduces leptin resistance and leptin levels and one day of fasting can cut your leptin levels in half and gets your immune system working properly again! Does the body preferentially prefer glucose as a fuel? No, except for brief periods of very intense exercise, your body mainly burns fats in the form of free fatty acids. Your brain also prefers to burn ketones at a rate of around 2.5 to 1 when they are available in equal quantity to glucose. Deep ketosis virtually eliminates chronic inflammation in the body. When not in ketosis, the brain can only burn carbohydrate, which produces a great deal of damaging ROS the brain has to deal with. It increases mitochondrial function and repairs mitichondrial DNA, leading to improved ATP production and oxygen efficiency and thereby making cells better able to fight off infection. Increased mitochondrial function also has the added benefit of increasing your metabolism and cancer prevention! When you fast, this stimulates apoptosis in senescent or genetically damaged cells, which destroys them. Senescent cells are responsible for many of the effects of aging and are a root cause of the development of cancer. Fasting also releases BDNF and NGF in the blood which stimulates new nerve and brain cell growth. This can help a great deal with diseases like MS, peripheral neuropathy and Alzheimers. In fact, the biochemical regulator of BDNF production is beta-hydroxybutyrate, which is the same ketone the body produces to nourish the brain while fasting. Fasting also increases telomere length, negating some of the effects of aging at a cellular level. A fasting mimicking diet for 3-5 days in a row also provides many of the same benefits as water fasting. FMD usually has 200-800 calories, under 18 g of protein and extremely low carbs. Exogenous ketones can aid with fasting, making it easier in healthy people and allowing some people with specific issues to fast in spite of them without worrying as much about hypoglycemia. Children, pregnant or nursing women should not fast for periods longer than 16 hours. People with pancreatic tumors or certain forms of hypoglycemia generally cannot fast at all. Type 1 diabetics can also fast but it is more complicated and should be approached with caution as it could lead to ketoacidosis. Those with Addison's disease may also be unable to fast without liberal use of exogenous ketones, depending on severity. If you experience extreme symptoms of some kind, especially dizziness then simply break the fast and seek advice.

Well hello Dr. Dhand! How are you! So true! Years ago I was told I was borderline diabetic. Uh no! Today I'm fine. Do not take meds. I have different issues, but so far no diabetes. This is great informaton. Thank you so much Dr. Dhand, really appreciate you. God Bless!
My doctor had not heard of a HOMA-IR when I asked her, but she did agree to the fasting insulin and fasting glucose test. I then did the calculation on my own. This was about a year after going whole food ketogenic along with some intermittent daily fasting. A couple of years later I asked her what kind of tests she runs when she suspects one of her patients may be insulin resistant. She said probably HbA1c, maybe fasting glucose. I suggested she should maybe consider fasting insulin along with the fasting glucose as it will indicate heading towards insulin resistance and diabetes years or maybe even decades earlier. She looked at me and I could tell a light turned on in her brain and she said, of course, with the fasting glucose you are only seeing half of the equation. I was very proud of her at that moment. I told her to look into the Kraft Test as well, although I have a feeling its not available here in Canada.
The Kraft test, or 4-hour glucose tolerance w/insulin also drawn each time, is probably "available" but you might have to pay on your own. Doctors are trained to serve the $$ system these days, not the patients. They balk at ordering anything outside the system protocol only because of that training, but are likely to say okay as long as you assure them you'll self-pay for it.
Canadian here. Here in Canada we no longer practice preventative medicine. Our system is so overrun that they cannot afford or have time for it. So what do they do as a reaction, they rewrite the medical books. They did the same with the pandemic, remember? 😂Annual checkups, aka preventative healthcare, are no longer in existence in Canada. That's the recommendation of the health ministry btw! The truth is because the system is overrun. We now have a Sick-care system. You see the doctor when you get sick, not before. So is it all about making $$$? Not for us! We pay taxes like an SOB but our healthcare services have massively declined. Have our taxes been declining? Nope, eventually they'll be going higher! I like Suneel btw, but be careful and take what he says with a grain of salt. He is generalizing metabolic health. He refuses to mention nor acknowledge the genetic factors of it. For example, there are more than 2 types of diabetes. We generalize them as type 1 and 2 but it's more complex. You may have a healthy lifestyle but if you have a genetic predisposition for it you are at risk no matter what you do. If other members of your family had it, it's important that you are routinely tested for it annually. Other forms of diabetes are MODY, LADA, etc. It's not all caused by lifestyle and food. I know that there are a lot of internet gurus, even within medicine, who like to sell the, "Diet trend will solve all our problems." Next we'll be hearing that diet will cure amputees'. 😂 Like I said, he's generalizing. Don't throw away what he is saying either btw because he does give good advice, but... It's like an auto mechanic telling you that routine oil changes will prevent engine problems. It's true, but only to an extent. It's a partial truth but not the whole truth. As for GPs, most only have an entry level med school education in it. Yes, believe it or not. Here in Canada GPs are not education in sleep disorders in medical school too btw. I know, I have a neurological disease called narcolepsy. Every GP I see, even if they know about the disease which is caused by an autoimmune response, know nothing about the med science behind it. And in some cases they have never heard of the disease either. You have to drill it into your head that a GP is exactly that, general. In other words, they're not specialist. They have "just" a general education in medicine. Don't expect much from them, especially the ones we presently have here in Canada. Like present day auto mechanics who only change auto parts, they don't know how to fix the parts or know how those parts function. A lot of healthcare professionals nowadays don't know how to stay in their lane of expertise.
I swear to GOD! I got a new doctor when I went on Medicaid and asked him to do a HOMA-IR and he said "What is that!" I could not believe it! He got upset because I could not believe he did not know what such an important test was!!!!!!!!!! I left!!!!!!!!!!!Just walked out!!!!!!!!!!!! I found another doctor and have an appointment on the 9th of this month. Insane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I asked my doctor three years ago to check my insulin. She was very receptive. Turned out I had high insulin. She later told me that she began testing her other patients with metabolic syndrome, too.
Retired registered nurse here.👋🏽Appreciate the knowledge. We will never trust big p harm a doctors again!! We’ve lost all trust in doctors- My RN friend has her masters degree in diabetes so I will ask her how often this test is ordered.
I did the sub-components of this test about 14 months ago when I learned about the importance of HOMA-IR. Did the fasting glucose(done many times) and fasting insulin(1st time ever) and computed my HOMA-IR at 0.3🙂
Doesn’t surprise me. I told my GP I’d had a SIBO ( small intestine bacteria overgrowth ) test for gut health. She laughed and said. I’ve never heard of it !!!!!!! I think the general public are really being educated about the lack of knowledge. On the other hand it shows how busy they are. Told me she’d speak to a gastroenterologist. I got an appointment 3 months later. In the meantime I’d sorted a private doctor for a prescription 🙄
Thank you Dr Suneel, even by just passively listening to you over the past 2 years I have learned more about medical things than I did in the first 21 years of my life. Even though I studied the engineering route, it is not lost on me.
Dr Dhand. All of my young relatives now refuse milk and instead insist on consuming soy/almond/oat "milk" instead. Looking at the ingredients these are mainly vegetable oils
I still think whole milk is very healthy. A lot of people seem to have digestion problems with it though. As long as you don't drink too much because of the amount of calcium
It's sad but true that we live in a clown world, and poison food and 'medicine' is the most lethal part of it. Thankfully, some fasting can help undo much of the damage. The many benefits of occasional extended fasting and lowering dietary carbs: Your body recycles up to 1/3 of all immune bodies in a 72h fast, rejuvenating your entire immune system. This helps with autoimmune disease, cancers and cytokine storm. Fasting stimulates phagocytosis, the ingestion growths pathogens and plaques by macrophages and other immune cells. This will remove spikes quicker, whether natural or unnatural in origin! Fasting quickly lowers blood pressure levels. Clots and plaques are removed over time due to accelerated phagocytosis. Fasting reduces cortisol over time and improves your circadian rhythm. Fibrosis aka scarring is reversed over time, including in the heart, lungs and clots. When insulin is high, vit D stays locked in the blood cells but fasting quickly lowers it. Vitamin D plasma levels are increased as fasting improves metabolic health, and vitamin D in turn increases autophagy. Fasting restores NAD+ and increases nitric oxide release to open blood vessels. Reflexes and short term memory are increased. Fasts from 36-96 h increase metabolic rate due to norepinephrine release!. Blood sugar and insulin are lowered when fasting, reducing inflammation and allowing the immune bodies to move freely through the body. T cells and T reg cells are vital in fighting cancer, autoimmune disease and infections. With age, the thymus stops making as many of them but fasting releases stem cells, which then can become new T cells. It also releases growth hormone, which regenerates the thymus itself! Fasting increases anti-aging Yamanaka factors and increases average telomere length in stem cell pools. Fasting can help with MS, Depression, BPD, Autism and seizures. What breaks a fast? Anything with protein or carbohydrates in it will break a fast but most teas and herbs are OK. Supplements and meds often break ketosis directly or contain a filler that will. Many meds are dangerous to take while fasting. Does fasting lower testosterone? No, it raises it when the fast is broken by increasing lutenizing hormone. Fasting also increases insulin sensitivity, which helps with muscle building. Fasting activates autophagy (literally self eating), which causes cells to recycle damaged proteins and foreign matter such as viruses. Lowering insulin via fasting virtually eliminates chronic inflammation in the body. Weight loss from daily caloric restriction has 1/4 to 1/3 of the weight lost as lean tissue while many studies show fat loss from 36 h fasts without losing any lean tissue! The obese will lose loose skin while fasting, but the frail will have increased growth hormone release, which helps to make more lean tissue and reduce frailness. Fasts of 36-96 will not affect short term female fertility or affect menstrual cycle. They also may increase long term fertility for some women. It increases mitochondrial function and repairs mitochondrial DNA. Good mitochondrial function also has the added benefit of increasing your metabolism, fighting infection and cancer prevention! 24h of fasting can cut your leptin levels in half! This reduces leptin resistance, which impairs immune function. Over time fasting normalizes stomach acid levels and during the fast acid levels go down to allow for the healing of ulcers. Fasting reduces pain and anxiety by stimulating the endocannabinoid system, just like the effect of CBD oil Your brain prefers to burn ketones at a rate of around 2.5 to 1 when they are available in equal measure to glucose. Except for brief periods of very intense exercise, your body mainly burns fats in the form of free fatty acids. Fasting increases telomere length, negating some of the effects of aging at a cellular level. Fasting releases BDNF and NGF in the blood. This stimulates new nerve and brain cell growth, which can help a great deal with diseases like MS, peripheral neuropathy and Alzheimers. When not in ketosis, the brain can only burn carbohydrate, which produces a great deal of damaging ROS the brain has to deal with. Fasting stimulates apoptosis in senescent or genetically damaged cells, destroying them. Senescent cells are responsible for many of the effects of aging and are a root cause of the development of cancer. A fasting mimicking diet for 3-5 days in a row provides many of the same benefits as water fasting. FMD usually has 200-800 calories, under 18 g of protein and extremely low carbs. Exogenous ketones can aid with fasting, allowing some people with specific issues to fast in spite of them without worrying as much about hypoglycemia. They also help with dementia and many other issues even if you take them while not fasting! Glycine and trimethylglycine can also be useful supplements while fasting that won't break ketosis and have many benefits. Children, pregnant or nursing women should not fast for periods longer than 16 hours. People with pancreatic tumors that excrete insulin or certain rare forms of hypoglycemia generally cannot fast at all or only with doctor supervision. Type 1 diabetics can also fast but it is more complicated and should be approached with caution as it could lead to ketoacidosis and done under doctor supervision. If you experience extreme symptoms of some kind, especially dizziness or tremors, then simply break the fast with a low carb meal.

That’s not the half of it. Then there is the crap they are spraying on us almost daily somewhere....and who knows what kind of diabolical vax jab they are cooking up for their next planned demic
You are a very good Doctor. A Doctor whose principles are not compromised and for whom my respect grows constantly. May your knowledge continue to grow and may you continually be able to broadcast this valuable information to the general public. God bless you. I certainly shall be acting on this information. I've been looking for this information for more than 20 years.
Thank you Dr. Dhand. I had already heard about HOMA IR and asked my doctor. But he told me this was utterly nonsense and did not want to discuss this at all. Am looking for another doctor, but can't find any that is open to this kind of topic.
You need a new physician. If you are concerned about the possibility of becoming diabetic, this calculation tells you what you need to do to avoid the disease. I was nearing prediabetic levels , so I changed my diet through limiting carbs and intermittent fasting. My numbers reverted to normal (insulin sensitive) when I retested 6 months later. It was a wake up call for me as my Mom became a T2 diabetic at about the same age I am now. She ended up having a portion of her foot amputated due to complications. No thanks, not for me…..
@@joycewright5386 Functional medicine doctors are just as much of a fraud as MDs. I had one try to charge me 600 just to talk and that didn't even include testing. So I gave them the finger and decided to be my own doctor and ordered my own tests. You can order HOMA IR AND other labs too without a doctor.
I'm a retired nurse & have never heard of this lab draw nor have I ever seen a doctor order one. I always learn something from your videos. Keep up the good work!! ♥️☹️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Absolutely right. I studied and worked in laboratory science following a university degree in Biomedical Science. The whole focus of monitoring and treatment was around glucose measurement as the holy grail for diabetes. Talk about missing the root cause🤪 Sure it's an important indicator but insulin levels also a major indicator. Physiology lessons were equally off the mark by reinforcing blood glucose but never really highlighting the importance of insulin levels! Hence all the problems today and the explosion of diabetes type 2.......because we have a 'pill to fix this', carry on with your bad eating habits and choices, we'll make another pill to fix any other problems that materialize. Great money maker for the food and pharma industry.
I was running a high fasting blood glucose with normal A1C’s. I Unfortunately my healthcare professionals were baffled. They insisted I was IR. They wanted to control that blood sugar. It turned out after I figured out how to take off the weight (90lbs) they found the muscle invasive bladder cancer and the tumor on my adrenal. Now with three organs removed and a normal fasting blood glucose I’ve finally regained my health. If I had listened to them I’d probably be dead. Lol
The great awakening is in full swing, can't put it into word right now, well I could but I'd be talking,.. waffleing for hours/days, feel it through the heart
Yay ...thank you DR!!!! So very true. Just wish I had learned all thos 30 yrs ago. 2 yrs ago I was t2 diabetic, overweight, massive headaches. From wonderful Drs like you , I reversed my T2D, lost 88 lbs ....all by cutting out all sugar , all starchy veg, breads, pasta and all processed foods. Mostly meat, butter, eggs with occasional green veg or salad. I have excellent labs now, off all meds and more energy than in my thirties.
I was told the same, alas, when I got to 67 I was declared diabetic,...however at the back of mind I think it maybe one of the ailments you may get when older regardless..take care of yourself
I'm commenting here because it may help your channel with the algorithm. I have been aware of this test for some time. Apart from a closed online group of medical professionals I belong to investigating this very subject I don't know of any of the UA-cam gurus discussing this topic. Well done.
@@jodyjackson5475 Chiropractor - not a doctor of medicine! I'm sorry to have to say that, because many delusional people believe the mumbo jumbo of "chiropractic" has some validity. Not that I believe medical practitioners are the full answer either - that's what this video is about. Not to say that Ekberg does not strike a few chords but he is not a "doctor" (Dr.).🙂
I admire your INTEGRITY, I've watched several of your videos and I must admit your honesty is admired more than you could ever ever imagine, keep up the good work my friend
I just take care of myself. I take quality vitamins and herbs. I've done so for many decades now. People say that I look ten years younger. Keep speaking out Dr. Dhand. 👍👍👍
My dad was a Type 2 Diabetic, and as I’m getting older I decided to purchase a blood-glucose meter to monitor my own glucose level. I downloaded a monitor brand’s coupon and headed to my local pharmacy, who treated me very kindly and sympathetically….until they found out I was NOT diabetic, and therefore would not be offloading hundreds of dollars into their business on a regular basis. This scenario was repeated multiple times until I found a pharmacist who would discuss the different meters with me. On another note, I recently saw an article stating the new ceiling for insulin resistance had been raised to 11! (Where I live, normal BG is around 4.3-5, 7 is the warning shot over the bow, and 11 is heading into deep water, 14 is high.) I feel it’s an indicator of how many people are turning insulin resistant, for them to raise the “shot over the bow” to 11. Thanks for informing us about this blood test. Makes me wish I had a good doctor that would listen to my request to get it done. 🤷♀️
That's kind of like what the women's fashion industry calls "vanity sizing.". It is where they cut and make everything larger at each given size so that you feel better wearing a smaller number size. So a size 6 person might wear a size 2 in that vanity sized brand
You are my hero. I can't bash all medical people, thanks to you. There are exceptions :) Too bad so many of the good ones were fired for not getting the jab, I hope they are suing.
Just had an insulin resistance panel done this morning. Can’t recall the initials attached to it, but my doctor orders this about twice a year because I am a type 1 diabetic. Well controlled, with 5.2 A1C, but still get all the associated testing due to diagnostic code(s) attached to the diabetes. My doctor is functional. Also have the Cleveland Clinic heart panel done twice yearly - really comprehensive and according to the number of vials of blood taken, it should be. I think functional medicine doctors are more on top of preventative testing. Interesting point here - one of my total cholesterol tests came back at 205, atypical for me, and my doctor goes into this ‘talk’ and I hold my hand up as if to stop talking and he smiles. Told him I didn’t want to hear it, my results were far from ever considering a statin drug, and I also do my own research on all of this. Basically, as a doctor who takes Medicare payments, he is obliged to give this talk. I personally find this manipulative and disingenuous coming from insurance companies. Really really wish I wasn’t in the system!!!!
After 14 years of T2D not one of many doctors ordered it. I found out about the test and had my doctor order it. Had just gone on keto and my test results were so good I dropped ALL meds. Numbers already exploded. When I was a teen noone in my high school was fat. Now more than half are overweight.
Definitely similar to Washington state, maybe someone in Oregon has images as well. The clouds are often malformed. Notice pure white larger jets flying.
I appreciate you very much, Dr. Dhand. I am battling insulin resistance right now. It’s been extremely difficult and no medical treatment has worked to date. Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us. ❤
I fixed my insulin resistance by using the Ketogenic Diet at the recommendation of my very good physician. I lost 75 pounds in about a year (5 pounds more than me goal) just from changing my diet and everything is better. (just suggesting ...) If you like to read The Ketogenic Bible is the best resource I found. It provides all the science and history behind the diet. As far as I can tell, the Keto Diet is the only fully scientifically researched diet out there. If you like videos check out KenBerryMD - he has an entire course on his channel. Might not work for everyone but if you have not tried it, please check it out. I threw out or gave away away everything in my cupboard which had any sugar or carbs in it. Everything. I mean .... Everything. Once in a while I falter but the inflammation and feeling of being poisoned from any kind of carb or sugar or processed food is a strong reminder to get back on track. I hope I have not been presumptuous - just sharing what worked for me. Best of luck and best wishes in embarking on a new life. Cheers!
Recently found your platform. Love the contrarian thinking. As someone who has "mistrusts the medical system" in the chart of one of my doctors it's hard to find a doctor open to alternatives. I spend time reading learned studies on various medical issues and it is amusing to me how many doctors bristle when you ask them a question from their own medical literature. Keep up the good work. I'd guess you feel like the lone voice sometimes but it is encouraging to know that there is someone for whom standards of practice are not the Bible.
Thanks everyone for watching and your comments!

I absolutely disagree that A1c is useful. It's the most worthless test invented. It is not based on actual value. It's based on theory and within the theory there is a flaw and that flaw is based on the one size fits all jack-in-the-box nonsense

My question for anyone who knows
Is fruit also bad for my health?
Can fructose from fruit cause diabetes
Other than fruit, I believe food I eat is healthy.
Things I avoid
Alcohol, bread, noodles, pasta, candy, sugar, processed foods
I do eat plain Greek yogurt with no sugar
I eat eggs-boiled, canned sardines in olive oil, peanut butter made with just peanuts and salt
Raw mushrooms, raw jalapeño peppers
When I go out to eat, I’ll get a steak or pork ribs cooked with no sauces
Also sometimes I’ll eat avocados
I just hope fruit is not going to give me diabetes
Maybe I should get the blood test you recommend
Thanks!
I’m over 70 now, when I was younger, I ate junk foods, typical American diet
Sodas, breads, pastas, pizzas, sauces, mayonnaise, barbecue sauce loaded with vegetable oils and sugar
Maybe it’s not too late to reverse course. I dunno
@@davidhughes4785 no it is definitely not too late. Get off the carbs get off the plants get off the heavily processed foods eaten meat eggs butter bacon animal-based diet you will be glad you did.
@@davidhughes4785 Hi David, you do need fruits in your diet. Just eat fruits in small amounts and with a low glycemic index. If people have diabetes already perhaps they would need to avoid fruits. I know of three doctos here on UA-cam that mention how important it is not to cut fruits out of your diet; if you want I can let you know thier names. Hope this helps.
I thank you all, Mike, Liza, and Vanessa
Looks like a diet that is mostly Keto, with only a small amount of relatively low sugar fruits and vegetables included
As one doctor here on UA-cam said, “The poison is in the dose”
The way I see his statement, is a small amount of fruit might be less harmful to health, a large amount of fruit or “dose” can be poisonous-leading to diabetes and heart disease.
Maybe I’m a fruit sugar junky
Maybe so, still I must watch my portion sizes of these types of foods!
Thank you all!
Cured patients are bad customers.
Doctors shouldn't be greedy. There's a ton of patients. I remember the old time docs. Things have really changed. Well, we can change it all back.
@@mariantreber8055 I want to see all doctors bank statements and investment portfolios. I don't think anyone here would be surprised.
REAL doctors and TRUE professionals in the united states are a needle in a haystack
@@dictumfactum9468 the billing and bank statements are the evidence of the fraud they commit
@@dictumfactum9468 I have a relative who's a dr. I believe he was clueless about the vax. He wanted to know why I didn't want to take it. I said graphene. I hope he researched! I need to call him, I hope he retires! The smartest people I know rejected what people were saying about the C-19, etc. I'm still well. My family swore off shots in 2018.
It is astonishing how many doctors today treat their patients like a script or robot like. In my case, I recently had my blood work done with my former doctor. My cholesterol came out to be 215 and Ldl was 150. He immediately wanted to put me on a statin drug. He did not ask anything about my diet or what has been going on. I have been doing a high fat, high protein diet (ketovore). I then ask him about doing an Apo B lipoprotein test. He said he has never heard of this in his life. I will also assume he does not know about the triglyceride-hdl ratio either. That was enough for me to decide to switch to another doctor.
Some perspective may help. Physician practices are shaped by reality. The reality is, 95% of patients already have heard and read about the lifestyle factors contributing to high cholesterol, obesity, insulin resistance (i.e. diabetes risk), etc. Where could someone be raised in the USA for the past 35 years without hearing about it 1000 times before the age of 40, a strict Amish community? In remote Alaskan wilderness or bayous of Louisiana? The vast majority of people aren't going to change their dietary and nutritional practices. They are given the info by doctors and they just don't do it. So that leaves.....???
How about changing your diet? Keto isn't all it's cracked up to be. The problem is, most keto diets are too low in fibre and antioxidants.
@@deeder001 Good point. I think the pharmaceutical industry is out of control; however, i think that most Americans are truly looking for a pill/procedure to treat their ailments rather than be prescribed lifestyle modifications.
Absolutely,,the big pharma is Absolutely taking advantage of people who want the easy way out,,,but what they don't know is that getting some exercise and eating well is a whole lot easier that taking all those drugs that actually cause one problem after another. The body is meant to heal itself and given the right conditions, it will. It's about balance,,it's not rocket science, I'm glad of that cause I'm just an old farm girl 😉
Thanks to the “American Heart Association”, financed in large part by, wait for it,
Big Pharma.
Surprise, surprise!
I am a retired laboratory professional who keeps up on this stuff and asked my physician about ordering the labs a couple of years ago as I am at risk for diabetes. (Both parents became T2D’s at about the same age I am now. Fortunately he is an agreeable sort and although I don’t believe he’d heard of the calculation he went ahead and ordered the fasting glucose and insulin. I ended up doing the calculations myself and discovered I was creeping upward in an unhealthy direction. Turned it all around in 6 months. (intermittent fasting, cut the carbs, NO snacking.) My mom’s last 10 years we’re not fun, I’m not going there……..
Thanks for sharing your story Sue! Great work, keep it up. Best, Suneel Dhand
Exactly...it kills me when I hear saying stopping carbs and eating clean is inconvenient..it inconvenient for me to eat crappy and be sick all the time...hello
Excellent... there is so much we can do to help ourselves. Stay well and happy Sue. 👏🌞🥳
Pleased to hear xxx
I am doing exactly the same. Reduced weight from 102 kg to 86 kgs in 4 months with just intermittent fasting, less carbs and no snacks or sugars
My doctor diagnosed me with type 2 diabetes 3 years ago. He wanted to start me on Metforman. I asked himto give me 3 months to turn this around, which he did. Went back in 3 months with my latest blood test which was OK. He agreed to let me keep going which I did for 9 months, having blood taken every 3 months. He did not ask me to have a blood test for the next 6 months. I did it all with diet and exercise, NO sugar NO carbs, and fasting.
I'd only say you aren't the property of your doctor. Doctor's "orders" are only for nurses, not patients. You are NEVER required to take a medication your doctor wants you to take or beg for "permission" not to. Doctors give advice. You are always free to reject or postpone that advice. No "permission" required.
@@vnevala
Exactly right!
Good on you❤
I'm afraid to go to my yearly this month. I'm afraid that I may be diagnosised with T2D. I'm very afraid to start on a medicine regime. I will take your idea and ask for time to turn my health around. I hope the dr agrees.
@@cynthiakeller5954
I think that's a very good decision.
Type 2 Diabetes can be reversed by changing the lifestyle.
Intermittent Fasting and Keto Diet is a very good way to regain your health.
Nurse here too with 30 years’ experience. Dr. Dhand is spot on. Many in the medical establishment have become box checkers. It’s hard to make eye contact with them. They follow the “expert” guidelines. End of story. Dissent not allowed. Educate yourself and take responsibility together with solid advice. Eat good, clean food. I’m pushing 60 and going strong. Metabolic health is great. Thanks Dr. Dhand for all you do.
Nurse here also. Amen!
Me too, RN for 30 years.
I solved my insulin resistance with the Ketogenic Diet. Lost 75 pounds in a year only by changing my diet and everything is better than better.
Thank you for your ongoing efforts at truth and education. Cheers!
Excellent story! Keep it up
I've just commented about this well-done I've heard this- was it type one or two?
@@DUB-sential Only insulin resistance which is the precursor to Type 2. The keto diet is the most scientifically researched diet we have. Read The Ketogenic Bible. Best source.
So how is your LDL or ApoB? It's great that you lost the weight, because that is what reversed your insulin resistance, but the general ketogenic diet has a 30% higher mortality rate than healthy diets if followed for a prolonged time.
@@carinaekstrom1 source?
I suspect the ketogenic diet tends to exasterbate cholestasis causing liver injury over time.
Suneel, YOU are a Much NEEDED Breath of Fresh Air in the Medical Community!!!!
Dr. you are 100% right. I said this 20 yrs ago when I went vegan. I am now 72. My doctor can't find out anything wrong with my health. I do not take any drugs., alcohol, no smoking. And I never took the vaccine. My Dr. said I am in the .001% of the people who come into his office. LOL. When I go into his office for a once a yr. check up.We have great conversation , he likes to here what I say. He is definitely curious about my health. I love the look on his face when I tell him I still work out in the gym 3 times a week. Keep up the good work Dr.Dhand. The world needs more people like you.
My dad is just like you. He is 79 and still works out 3-4 days a week, walks at least a mile daily, takes no meds and is in very good health.
Good for you, enjoy your health.
I'm 65 and also completely healthy. Low LDL, great blood pressure, no insuline resistance. Never had any health issues except an autoimmune skin disease that was reversed when I went whole food vegan 12 years ago (I was a vegetarian for 42 years before that). Never took those vaccines, never got covid, or if I did I didn't notice. I do flexibility and strength training, and I'm building my own house. Let's keep going!
I am 70 and only go to my 30 year old primary health doctor to request tests. She knows I will never take drugs and will always take issues and solve them with nutrition. I recently realized that my BUN test had been on the low side for quite a few years and everyone told me my panel was good. Well....looked it up and it is indicative of a low protein intake. I am working on increasing it so I don't end up with low muscle mass as I get older. Unfortunately my doctors are not interested in anything I have to say about herbs or nutrition.
Because healthy people avoid seeing a doctor! That's why it's 00.1 percent
You're a great man and thank you for spreading the truth. ❤
Great information! I sometimes think though... Big pharma, and others who side with them, don't like it when Doctors like you teach people correct ways of treating your health the right ways. Somehow these Doctors disappear. Not trying to alarm you, just true! Please be careful.
We would all be so lucky if the world had more honest and genuine doctors like you.
Homa IR is what Dr. Sten Ekberg talks about a lot. Legendary talks about good and bad foods as well as how they interact with the body in different areas. Real in depth stuff and definitely helps putting a good "diet" together.
Yep, that's how I knew about this test and its purpose - so many people think they're 'OK" because their glucose is not elevated; They don't realize how hard their body is working and how much insulin is being pumped out to keep them inline. Dr. Ekberg's videos are superb!!!!
Love Dr. Ekberg.
ekberg is been debunked. he typically exagerates and cherry picks studies, but usually he doesnt name any any scientific studies. and he doesnt care about studies which totally contradicts them.
@@nancym4049 He is great!
Greetings:
Thank you Dr. As a retired nurse, I appreciate your teachings...truth is so refreshing to hear. Instruction with emphasis on dietary intake is such a bonus versus pushing medication. Keep up your
awesome medical " ministry of truth"
God bless🙏

Well said.
Thank you for speaking out against the ongoing scam in healthcare. I have paid close attention to Dr.Eric Berg, DC for the past few years. We need more doctors like you who feed us the truth for our benefit. Blessings to you!
if you like Berg then check out Sten Ekberg.. he is next level and knows his stuff!
FYI, you might like to know that Dr Berg STILL IS an active member of Scientology. His product profits go to this "church". Besides, he has never practiced as an MD, only as an ostheopathist, and most of his "tips" I could collect too, from browsing the internet, and pretending I sorted it all out, just because it's on the pad in my hand-writing... Thought you might like to know...
Eric Berg is a chiropractor, not a medical doctor and yet he has an opinion on everything. I will not take medical advice from him or any other chiropractor!!! Get your information from Doctors like Dr Dhand or Dr Sten Ekberg.
Dr D
It’s so refreshing to see there is a doctor out there that isn’t pushing pills! Getting back to natural food without any additives or hormones or pesticides and herbicides, fillers or added sugars, should be the norm!
I’d like to have a Doctor like you!!
Love your videos. Keep them coming!!
I'm 68 years old and my primary diet is organic raw vegan. I cheat sometimes with processed and sugar foods, but it's a treat, not a lifestyle.
I live in a high rise apartment building for people over 65. About 3 months ago and agency started bring the residents FREE food. It was processed meats, sugar, processed prepared foods, canned foods, etc. I've been eating this on a regular basis for a few months and saving my money from my regular diet. I had a regularly scheduled appointment with my primary doctor last week and the bloodwork came back as a nightmare. I've been going to her for 8 years and FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER - my vitamin D and B12 was so dangerously low she started me on meds right away. For the first time in my life - my cholesterol was dangerously high and she started me on meds for that as well. And my blood pressure is high for the first time. I could tell even more, but I doubt anyone will read this because it's so long.
Thank you for your comment. Some people actually still love reading and actively look for long comments which are very often even more informative than the actual content that inspired the comment.
I actually believe that this is one of the most critical ways of discovering new information in our time: people are more lonely and socially disconnected from friends, family and community than ever before but we do mostly have access to the internet and social media in virtually 'real time', so this does still allow the exchange of belief systems, ideas, rumours and unfortunately propaganda to be dispersed.
Once upon a time, we had clan or village, or tribe meetings, or a town crier, a village square, an agora, a speak easy, or a simple wooden crate to stand upon and have the ability to share our thoughts with our local community but this has sadly virtually all but disappeared in modern society. Are we all better off for this? I don't think so. there is an epidemic of loneliness and a general lack of cohesion within communities.
What is the solution? We can all attempt to use social media systems to encourage others to share information, to share ideas and most importantly to create genuine face to face community groups to rebuild many healthy, happy people one at a time and then to connect these individuals with other genuine individuals.
I have so many questions for you, if you don't mind?
You mention that "and agency" started to bring the residences free food, do you know what the name of the group is? Is the food brought in branded bags or boxes?
Is it part of a corporate-private-government food bank imitative?
I wasn't sure if "and" was a typo for "an", or "ad" agency. I hate to be so pedantic but details like this are often really important...especially if your health is at stake.
All of the best
@@VelcraDeFang I was just about to turn off my computer and saw your email.

How do you get your essential fatty acids DHA, EPA?
Look at this time as a teaching moment. Now you have first hand experience with what bad food does and how quick it can affect you. I had similar experience. Was really ill for 1 year and ate prepared food because it was convenient. Developed fatty liver, gained 10 pounds and other issues. My ct scan scared me into eating healthy. Down 25 # and doing better each day. No sugar, processed food, grains, etc. I miss the poison but can’t afford the effects it has on my body. Bless you and have a speedy recovery.

A patient cured is a customer lost.
Yes, but for most physicians, it's an invaluable testimonial to their proficiency in curing patients.
This statement does not truly reflect the aspirations of most MDs who simply want their patients to get well. There is no shortage of sick people so doctors are not going to be "out of business" just because their patients get well.
@@MisterHowzat: So, do you also believe Big Pharma truly cares about the health and welfare of the patients who take their drugs or are they incentivized to make obscene profits at the expense of others?
I had this test and 49 other blood tests done with my "over 60 male VIP checkup" in K.L. Malaysia. (less that $300.00 USD) They took the blood first thing in the morning and had the results that afternoon.
I won't go to doctors in the USA anymore unless I am on deaths doorway.

I went on an 18 hour fasting diet. For the next 6 hours i ate anything i wanted. I did it for 2 months and i lost 40 pounds. I am off the diet now and gained back 10 pounds. What intermittent fasting taught me was educate my brain to eat sensibly.
Tf r u saying
I went through RN school and worked in a hospital setting for 15 years and have never heard of this test! Thank you for educating.
I am also an IM doc enormously frustrated w “mainstream” medicine. I’m angry that so much of my time and brain was filled w “miseducation”. I am now frantically trying to glean medical information on how to help my patients via UA-cam and podcasts from brave intelligent physicians like you. HOW do I now reeducate myself?! Until this video I have never heard of this equation. Former colleagues under the heavy thumb of monopolistic corporate med avoid the conversations like the plague and ostracize any physician who dares question the obvious. Help!
There is the Institute for Functional medicine- offer courses and certifications. I have looked for MDs from this list. Btw- thank u and good for u keep going!
Thank u for seeking the truth. It's never easy to go against the establishment.
It's true. I'm a physician and had never heard of this. An endocrinologist likely will have, but by the time you see one of those, you're probably already sick.
You are correct Dr. Dhand, no one knew what I was talking about when I appeared at my GP clinic to discuss this blood test. I was told I didn't need it and couldn't seem to get my GP or anyone else to do a test that 1. They never heard of it. 2 Their lab didn't know of it. When I eventually did get to a hospital blood draw ( from sheer perseverance,) I had to wait over a week for the result because Quest Diagnostics was doing the lab work and the blood work had to be sent out from the hospital to their facility, wherever that was. They either lost the blood sample or never received it. That was experience with the HOMA-IR. All this took place in January and February 2023. LOVE. PEACE. God Bless
I have now had this the fasting insulin test done several times. The most recent was at a Quest labs location because my clinic does not do it on site. So I asked the quest tech why and was told that the blood sample for the insulin test has to be kept frozen or refrigerated until it gets to the lab doing the analysis (The Quest blood draw station I went to had to cold-pack the sample and send it to their lab hundreds of miles away for processing.) . Quest provides the special cool-pack kits if such a clinic wants to do the blood draw on site but they have to have a refrigerator or freezer to keep it cool until Quest picks the sample up.
As soon as I can arrange it, I will be confronting the medical director and my PCP regarding this because of their lack of knowledge on insulin resistance and testing and will strongly suggest they get the needed fridge/freezer so they can start providing competent healthcare. Once I learned of this test and was able to get it done, I was able to monitor my insulin resistance with my fasting insulin level dropping from 15 to as low as 2.6, well under the 6 suggested by Benjamin Bikman in his book "Why We Get Sick"
I saw a piece on Facebook few weeks back, it was an elderly lady and they said to her what's her secret too a very long life,she simply said keep well away from doctors and hospitals enough said I think.
I’ve heard that before too, its scary but probably true. My dr is always trying to put me some drug and tells me to stop lifting weights so much….huh???
I eat a meat based diet, with very limited dairy. Total game changer. Lost 45 pounds, no more joint pain, Hashimoto’s thyroid antibodies reduced drastically, anxiety and depression gone, no more fatigue. All labs, including cholesterol are within normal limits.
Sugar, grains and seed oils are killing us all!
Do you eat eggs?
I’m the same, went from being exhausted and achy all the time to feeling full of energy and pain free. I also had insomnia real bad, not being able to get to sleep and waking often. Now I sleep straight through the night. I’ve only started recently and lost 20 pounds without even trying. I limit dairy and eggs as i had a mild allergy to them. I do take a break and sometimes do aKeto diet with added low carb vegetables and berries.
Thanks for bringing light to this disease. I suffered for years with low blood sugar aka hypoglycemia. A turned on naturopath immediately recognized I had insulin resistance too and would become diabetic if left untreated. He prescribed a diet to correct the IR and turned my life around❤my GP and endocrinologist were completely ignorant of the symptoms or blood tests.
What diet did he prescribe?
Teresa, my daughter has PCOS and I would love to know what sort of a diet your doctor prescribed,
Do eat more meat and eggs and butter. Do not eat carbs like industrial sugar, bread, cake, grain, sweets, coke and so on. Fresh fruits and cooked veggies are very healthy, but don't eat too much of them.
Yep! Thanks for that story
Dr. Dhand in March my hubby and I started taking control of our health. In May, I asked my doctor for the HOMA IR test and discovered that mu number was 2.5. Since March, I have lost 65 pounds (and counting). I had my HOMA IR redone at the doctors, yesterday, and it’s now 1.4!! That’s a decrease of 1.1 SIX months! So, if I keep going at my next visit I should be at the coveted 1.0 or less!! I can’t that you enough, and I know you are saving lives every single day! Happy Thanksgiving!!
I am a Medical Technologist (Laboratory Scientist) and had not heard of this test or calculation . It makes perfect sense however . I am becoming such a huge fan of your videos and thank you for your diligence and unbiased advice!! I have not received the vaccine . I lost my fiancé who had diabetes to Covid in 2020 . I also have had the virus at that time and again in 2022. My immune system was able to heal from it both times with using vitamin C , D etc .
How to detox from vax ,any suggestions ?
finally, a real doctor.......
And it just clicked into place why my doctor hasn’t ever really admonished me on diet and exercise
I realized years ago that most doctors don’t want you to be well because then money stops rolling in. I no longer go to doctors.
You get out of life what you put in. Your body is your temple... feed what makes the spirit feel good.
Thank you, Dr. Dhand. The assembly line of processed foods, inflammation, chronic illness and pharmaceuticals needs to be shut down.
Too too late..WHO taking full control at end of this month unless there is a miracle push back!!
My doctor will not even discuss doing fasting insulin. She says "it doesn't tell us anything" - useless. Thankfully I get my own blood tests and ignore her.
My PCP is more agreeable...but you are smart to go do the tests yourself. I sense Drs are overloaded with patients and work pressures.
@@5DNRG No, it's pure ignorance and greed. These people are suppose to be professionals.
Same with my doctor, but this time, I was very adamant, and I insisted upon it, and finally, she prescribed my bloodwork for fasting insulin levels.
Sounds like you need a new doctor
Every year my doctor tests MANY things and gives me and my wife about 7 pages of results including a table with the present and previous 2 lipid ( cholesterol etc ) results- excellent. He’s very nice too
As well as removing processed food from diet, fasting or time-restricted eating can help improve insulin resistance. Note that you have to fix the diet first though, very difficult to fast when you are still eating junk food, because of the extreme hunger that causes. That was my experience anyway.
yeah, it would be tough to go cold turkey with that. I'd want to make some good switches first to get that brain loop turned around. You also want to keep a teeny bit of natural sugar to make sure your gut can work. I'd probably do fresh or frozen north American berries or something.
Please be careful about fasting. I know it's sold as a good thing to do but it can seriously aggravate your gallbladder and cause gallstones. 1 out of 3 women have gallstones up to three times the rate of men. Gallbladder issues can eventually lead to liver and pancreatic problems, it can cause night sweats, stomach upsets, fatigue, bloating, referred pain, vomiting and reflux Having your gallbladder removed puts you on a permanent low fat, little and often diet which then effects the absorption of some vitamins notably vit D. Please stay healthy and make wise choices 🙏
Very true, fasting gave me amazing results when my blood pressure was uncontrollable on three medicines! Some of the many benefits of doing occasional extended fasting: Blood clotting is reduced and blood clots and arterial plaque are reabsorbed into the body. High blood pressure is lowered to normal levels very quickly while fasting. Fibrosis/scarring is reversed over time.
Fasting increases nitric oxide release.
Vitamin D plasma levels are increased as fasting improves metabolic health, and vitamin D in turn increases autophagy.
Stomach acid is reduced over time while fasting and can allow for the healing of treatment resistant ulcers, but some patients may need continued acid reducation medication while fasting.
Fasting reduces pain and anxiety by stimulating the endocannabinoid system in a similar way to CBD oil.
Fasting stimulates phagocytosis, the ingestion of bacteria, plaques and viruses by the immune system. It will also remove any 'foreign material' that is not supposed to be there.
Reflexes and short term memory are increased.
Fasts from 36-96 h actually INCREASE metabolic rate due to norepinephrine release!
After 72 hours or more fasted, your body recycles as much as 1/3 of all immune bodies and creates new ones, rejuvenating your entire immune system.
Fasting can help with MS, Depression, BPD, Autism and seizures.
Thymus is regenerated, which suppresses aging and renews the immune system. The thymus also plays a vital role in fighting cancer.
Weight loss from daily caloric restriction has 1/4 to 1/3 of the weight lost as lean tissue while many studies show fat loss from 36 h fasts without losing any lean tissue! The hunger hormone ghrelin also lowers with extended fasting and rises from dieting.
Blood sugar and insulin are lowered, allowing white blood cells to move more freely throughout the body and do their job. Some viruses activate glycolosis (the release of sugar in the body) and clinically it has been shown that decreasing glucose metabolism in the body weakens the influenza virus.
When you move out of MTOR your body shuts down the building blocks of the cell which are used to produce organelles and proteins. This means the mechanisms needed by viruses to replicate are by and large unavailable when you are in a deeply fasted state.
What breaks a fast? Anything with protein or carbohydrates in it will break a fast, though if the amount is tiny you will go back into ketosis very quickly. Most teas and herbs are OK. Most supplements and meds will either break ketosis directly or contain a filler that will. Many meds are dangerous to take while fasting.
Does fasting lower testosterone? No, it raises it when the fast is broken by increasing lutenizing hormone. Fasting also increases insulin sensitivity, which helps with muscle building.
Fasts of 36-96 will not affect short term female fertility or affect menstrual cycle. They also may increase long term fertility, especially in women with PCOS.
The hormone Leptin is an immunomodulator that keeps the body from attacking itself and obesity causes leptin resistance. Fasting very quickly reduces leptin resistance and leptin levels and one day of fasting can cut your leptin levels in half and gets your immune system working properly again!
Does the body preferentially prefer glucose as a fuel? No, except for brief periods of very intense exercise, your body mainly burns fats in the form of free fatty acids. Your brain also prefers to burn ketones at a rate of around 2.5 to 1 when they are available in equal quantity to glucose.
Deep ketosis virtually eliminates chronic inflammation in the body. When not in ketosis, the brain can only burn carbohydrate, which produces a great deal of damaging ROS the brain has to deal with.
It increases mitochondrial function and repairs mitichondrial DNA, leading to improved ATP production and oxygen efficiency and thereby making cells better able to fight off infection. Increased mitochondrial function also has the added benefit of increasing your metabolism and cancer prevention!
When you fast, this stimulates apoptosis in senescent or genetically damaged cells, which destroys them. Senescent cells are responsible for many of the effects of aging and are a root cause of the development of cancer.
Fasting also releases BDNF and NGF in the blood which stimulates new nerve and brain cell growth. This can help a great deal with diseases like MS, peripheral neuropathy and Alzheimers.
In fact, the biochemical regulator of BDNF production is beta-hydroxybutyrate, which is the same ketone the body produces to nourish the brain while fasting.
Fasting also increases telomere length, negating some of the effects of aging at a cellular level.
A fasting mimicking diet for 3-5 days in a row also provides many of the same benefits as water fasting. FMD usually has 200-800 calories, under 18 g of protein and extremely low carbs.
Exogenous ketones can aid with fasting, making it easier in healthy people and allowing some people with specific issues to fast in spite of them without worrying as much about hypoglycemia.
Children, pregnant or nursing women should not fast for periods longer than 16 hours. People with pancreatic tumors or certain forms of hypoglycemia generally cannot fast at all. Type 1 diabetics can also fast but it is more complicated and should be approached with caution as it could lead to ketoacidosis. Those with Addison's disease may also be unable to fast without liberal use of exogenous ketones, depending on severity. If you experience extreme symptoms of some kind, especially dizziness then simply break the fast and seek advice.

My channel which will always contain an updated version of this list of fasting benefits on the community tab. I also have playlists on fasting and health topics.
@@Bee-rr6vo Yes, also due to the lack of fiber.
@@carinaekstrom1 timer is overrated and their study shows that it just adds bulk to your feces and Baxter you if even worse
We need more Doctors like you
Well hello Dr. Dhand! How are you! So true! Years ago I was told I was borderline diabetic. Uh no! Today I'm fine. Do not take meds. I have different issues, but so far no diabetes. This is great informaton. Thank you so much Dr. Dhand, really appreciate you. God Bless!
Stress and not sleeping well also play a role, it is not only the wrong food.
Wrong kind of food is one of the main cause of sleeping problems.
Aging and hormones - big factor 6:14
My doctor had not heard of a HOMA-IR when I asked her, but she did agree to the fasting insulin and fasting glucose test. I then did the calculation on my own. This was about a year after going whole food ketogenic along with some intermittent daily fasting.
A couple of years later I asked her what kind of tests she runs when she suspects one of her patients may be insulin resistant. She said probably HbA1c, maybe fasting glucose. I suggested she should maybe consider fasting insulin along with the fasting glucose as it will indicate heading towards insulin resistance and diabetes years or maybe even decades earlier. She looked at me and I could tell a light turned on in her brain and she said, of course, with the fasting glucose you are only seeing half of the equation. I was very proud of her at that moment. I told her to look into the Kraft Test as well, although I have a feeling its not available here in Canada.
The Kraft test, or 4-hour glucose tolerance w/insulin also drawn each time, is probably "available" but you might have to pay on your own. Doctors are trained to serve the $$ system these days, not the patients. They balk at ordering anything outside the system protocol only because of that training, but are likely to say okay as long as you assure them you'll self-pay for it.
Canadian here. Here in Canada we no longer practice preventative medicine. Our system is so overrun that they cannot afford or have time for it. So what do they do as a reaction, they rewrite the medical books. They did the same with the pandemic, remember? 😂Annual checkups, aka preventative healthcare, are no longer in existence in Canada. That's the recommendation of the health ministry btw! The truth is because the system is overrun. We now have a Sick-care system. You see the doctor when you get sick, not before. So is it all about making $$$? Not for us! We pay taxes like an SOB but our healthcare services have massively declined. Have our taxes been declining? Nope, eventually they'll be going higher!
I like Suneel btw, but be careful and take what he says with a grain of salt. He is generalizing metabolic health. He refuses to mention nor acknowledge the genetic factors of it. For example, there are more than 2 types of diabetes. We generalize them as type 1 and 2 but it's more complex. You may have a healthy lifestyle but if you have a genetic predisposition for it you are at risk no matter what you do. If other members of your family had it, it's important that you are routinely tested for it annually. Other forms of diabetes are MODY, LADA, etc. It's not all caused by lifestyle and food. I know that there are a lot of internet gurus, even within medicine, who like to sell the, "Diet trend will solve all our problems." Next we'll be hearing that diet will cure amputees'. 😂 Like I said, he's generalizing. Don't throw away what he is saying either btw because he does give good advice, but... It's like an auto mechanic telling you that routine oil changes will prevent engine problems. It's true, but only to an extent. It's a partial truth but not the whole truth.
As for GPs, most only have an entry level med school education in it. Yes, believe it or not. Here in Canada GPs are not education in sleep disorders in medical school too btw. I know, I have a neurological disease called narcolepsy. Every GP I see, even if they know about the disease which is caused by an autoimmune response, know nothing about the med science behind it. And in some cases they have never heard of the disease either. You have to drill it into your head that a GP is exactly that, general. In other words, they're not specialist. They have "just" a general education in medicine. Don't expect much from them, especially the ones we presently have here in Canada. Like present day auto mechanics who only change auto parts, they don't know how to fix the parts or know how those parts function. A lot of healthcare professionals nowadays don't know how to stay in their lane of expertise.
I swear to GOD!
I got a new doctor when I went on Medicaid and asked him to do a HOMA-IR and he said "What is that!"
I could not believe it! He got upset because I could not believe he did not know what such an important test was!!!!!!!!!! I left!!!!!!!!!!!Just walked out!!!!!!!!!!!!
I found another doctor and have an appointment on the 9th of this month.
Insane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good luck with your new GP.. hard to find a real good one.
Homa IR is not a test that why its not known. The 2 tests are fasting glucose and fasting insulin. The calculation result is HOMA IR
I asked my doctor three years ago to check my insulin. She was very receptive. Turned out I had high insulin. She later told me that she began testing her other patients with metabolic syndrome, too.
Thank you Dr Dhand, you’re making a difference to the health of the people of the world.
I love Dr. Dhand's even-tempered, fact-based information. You are THE UA-cam Doctor.
I can't believe there is someone in clinical medicine that sees health the same way as me. What a good man you are.
Thank goodness I found a functional doctor who not only tests for this but for many other tests that regular PCPs won't.
Retired registered nurse here.👋🏽Appreciate the knowledge. We will never trust big p harm a doctors again!! We’ve lost all trust in doctors-
My RN friend has her masters degree in diabetes so I will ask her how often this test is ordered.
I did the sub-components of this test about 14 months ago when I learned about the importance of HOMA-IR. Did the fasting glucose(done many times) and fasting insulin(1st time ever) and computed my HOMA-IR at 0.3🙂
What a gift of a presence you have become to so many. You are respected and appreciated, honorable sir. Truly. Thank you.
This will never be available on the NHS!
This is so true. When I asked my doctor for this test she had no idea what I was talking about.
Same here. I found another doctor.
Doesn’t surprise me. I told my GP I’d had a SIBO ( small intestine bacteria overgrowth ) test for gut health. She laughed and said. I’ve never heard of it !!!!!!! I think the general public are really being educated about the lack of knowledge. On the other hand it shows how busy they are. Told me she’d speak to a gastroenterologist. I got an appointment 3 months later. In the meantime I’d sorted a private doctor for a prescription 🙄
Thank you dr suneel brilliant upload as always loving your uploads 😊🙏
Thank you Dr Suneel, even by just passively listening to you over the past 2 years I have learned more about medical things than I did in the first 21 years of my life.
Even though I studied the engineering route, it is not lost on me.
Dr Dhand. All of my young relatives now refuse milk and instead insist on consuming soy/almond/oat "milk" instead. Looking at the ingredients these are mainly vegetable oils
Agreed. This almond milk is not a good path to take.
I still think whole milk is very healthy. A lot of people seem to have digestion problems with it though. As long as you don't drink too much because of the amount of calcium
@@PercyJackson93 you get tons more calcium from collard greens & the like(look it up). But I do love my heavy whipping cream for my coffee.
@@patedwards8844 You get too much calcium in a glass of milk. You don't want more of it, there's enough in your diet without aiming for it
Soy has lots of estrogen too
It's sad but true that we live in a clown world, and poison food and 'medicine' is the most lethal part of it. Thankfully, some fasting can help undo much of the damage. The many benefits of occasional extended fasting and lowering dietary carbs:
Your body recycles up to 1/3 of all immune bodies in a 72h fast, rejuvenating your entire immune system. This helps with autoimmune disease, cancers and cytokine storm.
Fasting stimulates phagocytosis, the ingestion growths pathogens and plaques by macrophages and other immune cells. This will remove spikes quicker, whether natural or unnatural in origin!
Fasting quickly lowers blood pressure levels.
Clots and plaques are removed over time due to accelerated phagocytosis.
Fasting reduces cortisol over time and improves your circadian rhythm.
Fibrosis aka scarring is reversed over time, including in the heart, lungs and clots.
When insulin is high, vit D stays locked in the blood cells but fasting quickly lowers it. Vitamin D plasma levels are increased as fasting improves metabolic health, and vitamin D in turn increases autophagy.
Fasting restores NAD+ and increases nitric oxide release to open blood vessels.
Reflexes and short term memory are increased.
Fasts from 36-96 h increase metabolic rate due to norepinephrine release!.
Blood sugar and insulin are lowered when fasting, reducing inflammation and allowing the immune bodies to move freely through the body.
T cells and T reg cells are vital in fighting cancer, autoimmune disease and infections. With age, the thymus stops making as many of them but fasting releases stem cells, which then can become new T cells. It also releases growth hormone, which regenerates the thymus itself!
Fasting increases anti-aging Yamanaka factors and increases average telomere length in stem cell pools.
Fasting can help with MS, Depression, BPD, Autism and seizures.
What breaks a fast? Anything with protein or carbohydrates in it will break a fast but most teas and herbs are OK. Supplements and meds often break ketosis directly or contain a filler that will. Many meds are dangerous to take while fasting.
Does fasting lower testosterone? No, it raises it when the fast is broken by increasing lutenizing hormone. Fasting also increases insulin sensitivity, which helps with muscle building.
Fasting activates autophagy (literally self eating), which causes cells to recycle damaged proteins and foreign matter such as viruses.
Lowering insulin via fasting virtually eliminates chronic inflammation in the body.
Weight loss from daily caloric restriction has 1/4 to 1/3 of the weight lost as lean tissue while many studies show fat loss from 36 h fasts without losing any lean tissue!
The obese will lose loose skin while fasting, but the frail will have increased growth hormone release, which helps to make more lean tissue and reduce frailness.
Fasts of 36-96 will not affect short term female fertility or affect menstrual cycle. They also may increase long term fertility for some women.
It increases mitochondrial function and repairs mitochondrial DNA. Good mitochondrial function also has the added benefit of increasing your metabolism, fighting infection and cancer prevention!
24h of fasting can cut your leptin levels in half! This reduces leptin resistance, which impairs immune function.
Over time fasting normalizes stomach acid levels and during the fast acid levels go down to allow for the healing of ulcers.
Fasting reduces pain and anxiety by stimulating the endocannabinoid system, just like the effect of CBD oil
Your brain prefers to burn ketones at a rate of around 2.5 to 1 when they are available in equal measure to glucose. Except for brief periods of very intense exercise, your body mainly burns fats in the form of free fatty acids.
Fasting increases telomere length, negating some of the effects of aging at a cellular level.
Fasting releases BDNF and NGF in the blood. This stimulates new nerve and brain cell growth, which can help a great deal with diseases like MS, peripheral neuropathy and Alzheimers.
When not in ketosis, the brain can only burn carbohydrate, which produces a great deal of damaging ROS the brain has to deal with.
Fasting stimulates apoptosis in senescent or genetically damaged cells, destroying them. Senescent cells are responsible for many of the effects of aging and are a root cause of the development of cancer.
A fasting mimicking diet for 3-5 days in a row provides many of the same benefits as water fasting. FMD usually has 200-800 calories, under 18 g of protein and extremely low carbs.
Exogenous ketones can aid with fasting, allowing some people with specific issues to fast in spite of them without worrying as much about hypoglycemia. They also help with dementia and many other issues even if you take them while not fasting!
Glycine and trimethylglycine can also be useful supplements while fasting that won't break ketosis and have many benefits.
Children, pregnant or nursing women should not fast for periods longer than 16 hours. People with pancreatic tumors that excrete insulin or certain rare forms of hypoglycemia generally cannot fast at all or only with doctor supervision. Type 1 diabetics can also fast but it is more complicated and should be approached with caution as it could lead to ketoacidosis and done under doctor supervision. If you experience extreme symptoms of some kind, especially dizziness or tremors, then simply break the fast with a low carb meal.

Agree 100%!
That’s not the half of it. Then there is the crap they are spraying on us almost daily somewhere....and who knows what kind of diabolical vax jab they are cooking up for their next planned demic
It’s all upside down now.
Well stated!!!
You are a very good Doctor. A Doctor whose principles are not compromised and for whom my respect grows constantly. May your knowledge continue to grow and may you continually be able to broadcast this valuable information to the general public. God bless you. I certainly shall be acting on this information. I've been looking for this information for more than 20 years.
Thanks for watching Carolle, and your kind words! Best wishes, Suneel Dhand
Commenting for the algorithm and thank you.
There is money to be made KEEPING PEOPLE WELL!!! AND HAPPY!! AND FUNCTIONING!! Thanks Doctor HOMA-IR
How so?
This dude is the best!❤
I work in a Hospital Lab. I have never heard of this test. My husband is insulin dependent and none of his Drs. have ever had him take this test.
Thank you Dr. Dhand. I had already heard about HOMA IR and asked my doctor. But he told me this was utterly nonsense and did not want to discuss this at all. Am looking for another doctor, but can't find any that is open to this kind of topic.
What a clown. I am a doctor and cannot stand the medical profession anymore when it comes to the subject of metabolic health.
You need a new physician. If you are concerned about the possibility of becoming diabetic, this calculation tells you what you need to do to avoid the disease. I was nearing prediabetic levels , so I changed my diet through limiting carbs and intermittent fasting. My numbers reverted to normal (insulin sensitive) when I retested 6 months later. It was a wake up call for me as my Mom became a T2 diabetic at about the same age I am now. She ended up having a portion of her foot amputated due to complications. No thanks, not for me…..
Based on your details you definitely live in the united states
My functional medicine doctor wouldn’t even order it for me!
@@joycewright5386 Functional medicine doctors are just as much of a fraud as MDs. I had one try to charge me 600 just to talk and that didn't even include testing. So I gave them the finger and decided to be my own doctor and ordered my own tests. You can order HOMA IR AND other labs too without a doctor.
And the US food corporation adds sugar to most everything. We are fed sugar for breakfast, lunch, and dinner!
I'm a carnivore for a year and a half. I eat only once a day. My insulin=3.2. My A1c=3.82. My HOMA-IR = 0.58. I'm 56.5yo. Great video, Doc!

@@ronoldow.6438 Heh heh heh.
I think your A1C is too low… otherwise your numbers are good
@@user-iu6bv8vu8o Thank you for your opinion. So does an allopathic nutritionist who lives in my neighbourhood. ❤
That is fantastic!
@@tnprincess888 Thank you very much! Cheers! 🥂
I'm a retired nurse & have never heard of this lab draw nor have I ever seen a doctor order one. I always learn something from your videos. Keep up the good work!! ♥️☹️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Retired phlebotomist here; also never came across this test.
REAL FOOD 🎉
I love the information you impart. You are truly a physician & not just a doctor.
Thank you Dr. You are right!! I never heard of it and I watch a lot of health podcasts!!
Absolutely right. I studied and worked in laboratory science following a university degree in Biomedical Science. The whole focus of monitoring and treatment was around glucose measurement as the holy grail for diabetes. Talk about missing the root cause🤪 Sure it's an important indicator but insulin levels also a major indicator. Physiology lessons were equally off the mark by reinforcing blood glucose but never really highlighting the importance of insulin levels! Hence all the problems today and the explosion of diabetes type 2.......because we have a 'pill to fix this', carry on with your bad eating habits and choices, we'll make another pill to fix any other problems that materialize. Great money maker for the food and pharma industry.
I was running a high fasting blood glucose with normal A1C’s. I Unfortunately my healthcare professionals were baffled. They insisted I was IR. They wanted to control that blood sugar. It turned out after I figured out how to take off the weight (90lbs) they found the muscle invasive bladder cancer and the tumor on my adrenal. Now with three organs removed and a normal fasting blood glucose I’ve finally regained my health. If I had listened to them I’d probably be dead. Lol
Brilliant. Thank you, once again from a fellow physician.
You got THAT right.
You are a breath of fresh air!!!
The great awakening is in full swing, can't put it into word right now, well I could but I'd be talking,.. waffleing for hours/days, feel it through the heart
Suneel Dhand, the best doctor youve never had!
Yay ...thank you DR!!!! So very true. Just wish I had learned all thos 30 yrs ago. 2 yrs ago I was t2 diabetic, overweight, massive headaches. From wonderful Drs like you , I reversed my T2D, lost 88 lbs ....all by cutting out all sugar , all starchy veg, breads, pasta and all processed foods. Mostly meat, butter, eggs with occasional green veg or salad. I have excellent labs now, off all meds and more energy than in my thirties.
I was told that having pre diabetes with my second child meant being diabetic in the future! At 65, it has not happened yet!
I was told the same, alas, when I got to 67 I was declared diabetic,...however at the back of mind I think it maybe one of the ailments you may get when older regardless..take care of yourself
You are so right stand up and speak your mind. Take care of your own health if you can't
I'm commenting here because it may help your channel with the algorithm. I have been aware of this test for some time. Apart from a closed online group of medical professionals I belong to investigating this very subject I don't know of any of the UA-cam gurus discussing this topic. Well done.
Dr Stan Ekberg
@@jodyjackson5475 Chiropractor - not a doctor of medicine! I'm sorry to have to say that, because many delusional people believe the mumbo jumbo of "chiropractic" has some validity. Not that I believe medical practitioners are the full answer either - that's what this video is about. Not to say that Ekberg does not strike a few chords but he is not a "doctor" (Dr.).🙂

My dad was a Type 2 Diabetic, and as I’m getting older I decided to purchase a blood-glucose meter to monitor my own glucose level.
I downloaded a monitor brand’s coupon and headed to my local pharmacy, who treated me very kindly and sympathetically….until they found out I was NOT diabetic, and therefore would not be offloading hundreds of dollars into their business on a regular basis. This scenario was repeated multiple times until I found a pharmacist who would discuss the different meters with me.
On another note, I recently saw an article stating the new ceiling for insulin resistance had been raised to 11! (Where I live, normal BG is around 4.3-5, 7 is the warning shot over the bow, and 11 is heading into deep water, 14 is high.) I feel it’s an indicator of how many people are turning insulin resistant, for them to raise the “shot over the bow” to 11.
Thanks for informing us about this blood test. Makes me wish I had a good doctor that would listen to my request to get it done. 🤷♀️
That's kind of like what the women's fashion industry calls "vanity sizing.". It is where they cut and make everything larger at each given size so that you feel better wearing a smaller number size. So a size 6 person might wear a size 2 in that vanity sized brand
You are my hero. I can't bash all medical people, thanks to you. There are exceptions :) Too bad so many of the good ones were fired for not getting the jab, I hope they are suing.
PREVENTION, advocacy is always difficult for the General Public.
I thank you for this effort!
Just had an insulin resistance panel done this morning. Can’t recall the initials attached to it, but my doctor orders this about twice a year because I am a type 1 diabetic. Well controlled, with 5.2 A1C, but still get all the associated testing due to diagnostic code(s) attached to the diabetes. My doctor is functional. Also have the Cleveland Clinic heart panel done twice yearly - really comprehensive and according to the number of vials of blood taken, it should be.
I think functional medicine doctors are more on top of preventative testing. Interesting point here - one of my total cholesterol tests came back at 205, atypical for me, and my doctor goes into this ‘talk’ and I hold my hand up as if to stop talking and he smiles. Told him I didn’t want to hear it, my results were far from ever considering a statin drug, and I also do my own research on all of this. Basically, as a doctor who takes Medicare payments, he is obliged to give this talk. I personally find this manipulative and disingenuous coming from insurance companies. Really really wish I wasn’t in the system!!!!
Tks and send a hi to dr John Campbell
After 14 years of T2D not one of many doctors ordered it. I found out about the test and had my doctor order it. Had just gone on keto and my test results were so good I dropped ALL meds. Numbers already exploded. When I was a teen noone in my high school was fat. Now more than half are overweight.
Definitely similar to Washington state, maybe someone in Oregon has images as well. The clouds are often malformed. Notice pure white larger jets flying.
Superlative! Thank you, Dr. Dhand. You are a marvel. We love you!
Really appreciate you watching Marjorie! Best Regards, Suneel Dhand
It takes strength, courage and wisdom to tell the truth. Thank you for this. God bless you and your family.
I appreciate you very much, Dr. Dhand. I am battling insulin resistance right now. It’s been extremely difficult and no medical treatment has worked to date. Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us. ❤

I fixed my insulin resistance by using the Ketogenic Diet at the recommendation of my very good physician. I lost 75 pounds in about a year (5 pounds more than me goal) just from changing my diet and everything is better. (just suggesting ...)
If you like to read The Ketogenic Bible is the best resource I found. It provides all the science and history behind the diet. As far as I can tell, the Keto Diet is the only fully scientifically researched diet out there.
If you like videos check out KenBerryMD - he has an entire course on his channel.
Might not work for everyone but if you have not tried it, please check it out.
I threw out or gave away away everything in my cupboard which had any sugar or carbs in it. Everything. I mean .... Everything.
Once in a while I falter but the inflammation and feeling of being poisoned from any kind of carb or sugar or processed food is a strong reminder to get back on track.
I hope I have not been presumptuous - just sharing what worked for me.
Best of luck and best wishes in embarking on a new life. Cheers!
Intermittent fasting, that’s not a medical treatment. Dr Mindy Petz to learn more, get out of the system!
And keto
Keep going Laurie! You got this, in nearly everyone it is reversible. Best Regards, Suneel Dhand
Recently found your platform. Love the contrarian thinking. As someone who has "mistrusts the medical system" in the chart of one of my doctors it's hard to find a doctor open to alternatives. I spend time reading learned studies on various medical issues and it is amusing to me how many doctors bristle when you ask them a question from their own medical literature. Keep up the good work. I'd guess you feel like the lone voice sometimes but it is encouraging to know that there is someone for whom standards of practice are not the Bible.
Wow! Great info Doc. I’m gonna go get that test. Never had any problems with my A1C, but you never know. You’re a blessing in my life❤️
