I'm 61. Almost four years ago I was almost 300lbs. with many health issues; high BP, asthma, severe osteoarthritis with bone spurs. I couldn't walk. After watching videos like these, I went low carb, high fat keto and learned how to fast, I lost 160lbs. It reversed ALL my health issues. I'm now active, able to be on my feet all day. I'm off all my medications and my asthma is gone.I did it all on my own. I'm maintaining well and loving my fasting, ketovore lifestyle. I'll trust "my" doctors I follow every time! Thanks for all you do 🙏😊
Although my physiologial change was not as great as yours, I totally understand what you mean. My health is drastically better thanks to these videos! /good on you
@@joanneclark8256 what work for me was eliminating alcohol completely as well as ultra processed foods along with intermittent fasting. Basically skip breakfast. Make lunch first meal. Everyone is different but those are imo the basic principles of dr sten. Hope that helps
My doctor told me to exercise more and cut out sugar. I changed my diet by moving to a "no sugar added" cereal, I substituted dried blueberries for sugar on my cereal and I stopped adding sugar to my coffee and tea. Things didn't get better. Then I learned how to read labels. Total Carbs-Dietary Fiber=Sugar. I discovered my no-sugar-added cereal was essentially a bowl of sugar, the dried blueberries were sugar pills and the various starches I was eating (pasta and bread) were sugar. Salad dressings were also sugar bombs. My wife substituted olive oil and butter for seed oils, and we make our own salad dressings. She changed other ingredients to reduce starches and increased avocados and cruciferous vegetables. Knowing how to identify sugar, we cut our sugar consumption. We also started IF by reducing our eating window to 7 hours. In a month I lost 15 pounds - 10% of my body weight. My wife is happy because she lost weight, too. We are in our 70's and neither of us are on medications. The moral of the story is in order to reduce sugar, you need to know how to identify it. Thank you for your very informative videos!

I tip my hat to you! BRAVO! You figured out what so many people don't because they won't admit they've been duped by professionals who should know better.
You got wiser - and you convinced your spouse to follow. Great first steps. People around you won't approve at first. it is hard to spot the hidden sugar - it's basically in all things, even non sugar products. I make my own yogurt now while fasting 18/6. 42 C (3,5 % milk) with natural yogurt added. One month now - the cravings are gone and I'm starting to feel the benefits. Next step is to fill my time restricted eating with more healthy "whole foods" and cut down on alcohol.
I have had same problem as one of your viewers here - fatty liver and bad gall bladder. Same advice, low fat, high carbs. Gave me a load of meds. When I questioned it, my doctor told me "you should trust me because I am a doctor". Needless to say, I am doing the opposite. I trust my gut, and I trust me; and no longer seeing the ego driven doctor. Thank you Dr Ekberg.
We can only imagine how many people have had their GBs removed unnecessarily, and primarily caused by the very same medical advice that made them sick in the first place. It's a good bet that it's the majority, at least... It's simply tragic.
I recently had a cardiologist tell me that my cholesterol was to high to lower by diet and exercise. I told him no statins. He prescribed a no statin cholesterol medicine. l researched the med and it can cause liver damage.
My doctor told me my kidneys and liver was toxic and dying. None Alcohol Fatty Liver, type 2 diabetes, 270 triglycerides and hypothyroid. I stopped eating all sugars and carbs as was possible. Ate mostly grass fed beef, lots of beef organs, wild sockeye salmon, pasture eggs, 7 Cups of greens and lots of green tea. Lost a pound a day for six months. Went back and tested much better. Everything was normal.
Thanks for sharing with us. Just finished reading "Health and Beauty Mastery" - what an eye-opener! This book exposes so many hidden truths about the health industry that no one talks about!
I lost 80 lbs cutting out sugar, processed food & eating meat & whole non-starchy vegetables. My doctor told me eating like that was unsustainable. That was three years ago. It's still working.
I can watch his videos over and over again too. Same with similar channels like DrGundry, pradipjamnadasmd, DoctorBoz and many others. These are simply GOLD, because they improve quality of our lifes. However, it is very difficult to find other types of UA-cam channels that could be described the same way. It is basically a waste of time to watch anything else on UA-cam. UA-cam is a big trap.
Something's awry! I fasted, quit drinking wine and eat real food. Oh yea, the movement too. Sincere thanks to Dr. Ekberg and all you health champions for enriching my life!
My gastro consultant said to me after I was diagnosed last year with NAFLD which had turned to fibrosis "eat frequent small meals". I told him I had done my own research for the past few months and I was now doing low carb and no sugar. He shook his head and said " there's no need to do that just eat lots of small meals, I mean eat like a mouse". I said to him I have just lost 3 stone, reversed my pre diabetes, I'm making myself better! He said " listen to me, what I tell you will help make you better!". Needless to say I walked out of his office and did my own thing. I know I am making myself better. My liver is still repairing but getting better. I've now lost 5 stone and have a way to go but I know what I am doing is working. Listen to Dr Ekberg. ❤
@@sweetbeep yes it is!!! My liver enzymes are all now totally normal, my cholesterol and lipids all normal, pre diabetes is reversed and my blood pressure medication has halved and lovely blood pressure now. Eat clean, no sugar and low carb as possible. Intermittent fasting.
Dr Ekberg probably has more knowledge and interests than our WHOLE NHS so called specialists. You're worth your weight in gold. Please, please keep up your great work.
Have you had the same experience as me where they are all now calling themselves "specialists", though none of them are on the GMC "specialist register"!? Seems the word "specialist" is the buzz word in the NHS these days. My gp told me - exact words: "you should trust me because I am a doctor". I wonder if 'too many' people are waking up.
@@dianegriffen2756 I'm thinking the term specialist and Dr is used to say "shut up I know what I'm talking about". But of course over time, trial and error you learn different. It's a sad situation when it's life depending, and that's the state of our NHS.
If there is one thing I’ve learned from bitter experience is that doctors are worse than useless. Years wasted suffering with ill health and then you have to go and learn for yourself on UA-cam of all places. Thank god for Dr Ekberg, he’s changed my health and life for the better.
I wanna thank u, u changed my life 360 degrees. I have been verry depressed for as long as i can remember. Im 34 years old and after i start eat real food my mindset changed from negative to positive. I used to wake up angry and basicly hate my life. Now i wake up and im exided for every day. Big big big thanks, u change my life forever. Keep up the good work with these amazing videos
I always listen the the whole video. Fortunately i am to listen while i work and get paid to educate myself. This is one of the best health channels on UA-cam
Four months ago, I was diagnosed with diabetes, with an HbA1c of 10.6, and I had no idea about it. Then, I came across your videos and began to believe in reversing it once I understood the mechanism of insulin resistance. Now, my HbA1c is down to 5.6-simply cutting carbs and practicing intermittent fasting worked wonders for me. Additionally, my lipid profile was concerning, with high VLDL and low HDL levels. After following your advice and incorporating cheese and butter into my meals, my HDL has risen from 37 to 61, and my VLDL has dropped to 16. Thank you so much, Doctor, for showing us a path to a healthier, better life.
I've watched at least 100 hrs of your videos through the years. The education is always so much appreciated. But THIS VIDEO IS LEAPS AND BOUNDS BETTER THAN ALL THE OTHERS OF YOURS I'VE WATCHED. The Breakdown is understandable without a bunch of overwhelming terminology. The examples given are true to life and therefore very applicable. This clearly shows the false data alongside the true data, with case histories of patients that prove each. Also, as always, you are NEVER hateful of other doctors who have false educations and give incorrect info. God Bless you. I love you more and more with every video that helps so many people.
I can offer another testimony. 02 July 24, newly diagnosed T2D, 100 lbs overweight, morbid obesity with fatty liver, BP= 179/89, difficult to dress, difficult to exercise, difficult to get up and down, difficult to breath… 03 July 24, began strict Keto and OMAD….. 06 September 24, I’ve decreased my weight, 51 lbs, my BP = 101/60, easier to dress, exercise has increased X 100%, dressing much easier, getting up and down easier, breathing easier, eye sight better, cognition better (reading much faster/comprehending quicker). I still have a long way to go; but, with this honest attempt at OMAD and strict Keto working well, I will continue and add some 1-3 day fasting. My appetite has decreased significantly. My taste for sweets has decreased. I still look at bread with hard cravings sometimes. I just turn away most of the time. One day I had some tortilla chips with salsa. One day I shared an Apple fritter with my wife. SHEESH, the guilt ruined the pleasure. Thanks, Dr. Ekberg, from east Tennessee.
I suggest true fruit and vegetables instead of grains and starches if you want some healthy carbohydrates. Fructose from fruit together with all the fiber and raw and well combined meaning without any starches, fat or protein, fruit is healthy! Enjoy and keep going!
Keep up the good work, I lost 30 lbs over the last 30 days on keto and my sugar is 99% in range. I look at coke with disgust now. My appetite is minimal too. Main thing on keto is to drink electrolytes.
Well done! You are very disciplined, and I'm confident you will succeed. Of course, if you want to maintain that you can never go back to the old ways. I am taking a slightly different approach. In January I began a "low-carb" diet (not keto) combined with physical activity (hiking 10-15 miles daily). The time to do that (2-4h) is the time I used to waste eating chips, cakes and cookies in front of the computer. I still crave those things to be sure, but haven't touched any or eaten fast food since January. I slammed the door firmly shut on those mouthwatering delights. With this approach I went from 290lb to 190lb in 8 months. The diabetes is "gone". People cannot believe I am the same person. I fit into normal clothing, not giant sweatpants and 4XL T-shirts. I'm wearing clothes that have literally gathered dust in the closet for 15 years. Getting out of bed no longer involves contortions. It feels incredible. But I have hit a wall. I knew this would happen. Being 100 pounds lighter, I am doing far less work. Continued reduction will require a new strategy such as proper fasting, keto and strength training. You are on track to avoid this issue, so well done indeed!
I started to eliminate carbo and sugar from 5 months . My laboratory tests , all are perfect , and I really feel fine like never before .I eat eggs , cheese , meet and all the things that before the doctors tell me to avoid . Thank's Doct Ekberg !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm 35 years old. I've had Lyme Disease and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever for 30 years. Undiagnosed and mistreated for 27 years. I had to tell doctors what to test me for to figure it out. Took the antibiotics and it almost killed me and I was completely bed ridden. I tried countless natural remedies all of them made me worse. I had massive inflammation in my entire body. Literally measurable disease in every organ of my body. After I took the antibiotics I never saw another doctor again and I won't for the rest of my life! Through diet and eventually exercise and being outdoors as much as possible I've managed to reverse everything and now am far healthier than 80% of Americans. Now my idea of a good time is hiking 20 miles while fasting the whole time. Please listen to what this man says. It might just save your life!
@@SuperSteelwolf she just said to listen to what this doctor has to say so I would guess she used the low-carb intermittent fasting diet. That’s what everybody is using to get healthy now.
Hello from Finland! I have problems following the things what u say in the video...but i niw understand everything!! Sometimes i rewatching videos 2 to 6x times so i understand everything!!
I have been watching your videos for over three months and they are truly life-saving. My body and health has improved massively and i highly encourage everyone to pay attention to and respect what you say, as they have resulted to be 100% true. Thank you!!
I started listening and learning from you 6 years ago when I went Keto. Keto was still a slippery slope so I went to Carnivore 14 months ago and have had bumps with that but the last 2 months have been perfect for me. At 69 years old, I feel great at 160 lbs. Many unexpected things have gotten better since I went Carnivore like gum disease is gone, my hair grew back, my gray actually lessened, my shoulder injury from 30 years ago is healed and so much more.
Thank you so much for this information. My doctor is totally ignoring my fatty liver disease. He also ignores me when I want to talk about metabolic disease. He acts like there is no such thing. Hard to find a good doctor. We fight about my high blood pressure. I don't want to be taking 4 different HBP medications. 😢 He is good at prescribing drugs. I refuse to have a grocery bag full of drugs like most older people have.
So right on "Eat more fruit" my doctor told me during my journey from A1C of 8.0 to 4.7 that "Berries are your new candy. Eat them like that, as a treat, occasionally."
My mother died of NAFLD (she never drank alcohol). She felt sick for years but her doctor could never find the reason. I'm convinced it was her diet - she rarely ate a normal or balanced meal, but would nibble on buttered toast and eat several bananas a day, believing that 'fruit' was good for her. She rarely ate protein and cooked with bad oils. She was also inactive. The death certificate stated that she died of non-alcohol related cirrhosis of the liver. I'm very grateful for Dr. Ekberg's videos and follow his advice for how to eat healthy and have an active, healthy lifestyle.
Eating too much milk banana shake as a food in morning and fruit juice also cause severe liver damaged as they were considered as the healthiest food in our people .even though I don't like sweet too much but just because of considering them as healthy in our society I ate too much fruit and fruit juice
@@ramanand8111 I used to drink a lot of banana milk smoothies. They say that the bananas today were bred from something much less sweeter from back in the day. Can I ask what country you are speaking of?
Thank you Dr.Ekberg. I was 209lbs on January 1, 2024. I am now 159lbs and 9lbs from my goal maintenance weight. This is thanks to watching your videos, as well as other people on this platform, and testing it to see how I react to it.
Jesus said: The truth will set you free. For some years now I have realized that we have been deceived all our lives by people who do not care about the lives of others more than they care about money. All this information to people like you Doctor is worth gold. God bless you immensely. Thank you.
@@ukulelebutterfly So if Jesus/Yeshua "doesn't care" how we address him, then why did you even make such a nasty comment? Mary in Hebrew is actually Miryam, but we don't say Mother Miryam. We could also say Maureen, Maryse, Maria; it's all the same name... You're not following your own logic...🤭🤭🤭
I work for a company that produces food packaging. The and/or ingredients doesn't mean they don't know what's in the product. The ingredients vary when commodity prices shift or some become unavailable. (For instance, the war in Ukraine lead to sunflower oil shortages.) Packaging/labeling is expensive, so they list potential ingredients. Otherwise they would have to keep swapping labels for different production runs of their product. Very annoying for the consumer, but it makes financial sense. Money rules.
I just started watching your videos about two months ago. Even though the subject of body chemistry, etc. may seem boring, I find your videos fascinating and watch them all beginning to end. It’s refreshing to see this information discussed in a non-gimmicky, non-fanatical way without trying to push a bunch of products. You are so right about how doctors are these days. My tests came back with high A1C and liver enzymes and there was only canned remarks. NO discussion or follow-up with doctors. They either don’t care, don’t know or don’t think it will do any good to discuss lifestyle changes even though I specifically said I don’t want meds, but want advice on what I could do to lower my numbers. I thought I was healthy and didn’t even understand the importance of the test results. Now, with your help I do, and have taken action (-20 lbs and counting). I talk about you to my family and friends all of the time and they all are sick of hearing about Dr. Sten. Once they see how successful I am with my new healthier lifestyle I hope they will join us. Thank you!
Hi Sten, I've been following you for a few years now and your advice has TOTALLY transformed my life. I was struck down by Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in 2011 which involved a high element of pain. I was on large amounts of medication and decided this was simply not sustainable. As a result of your advice I started taking a daily smoothy made of Flax seed, Chia seed, raw Cocao powder, Ginger, Ceylon Cinnomon, Macca (and now Ashwagandha). I eat a high protein, high fat but low carb diet. I lost weight, the pain vanished and I'm exercising daily and doing multi day hikes in the mountains etc. Best of all I'm on absolutely no medications. I've noticed I no longer seem to get ill with coughs or colds. I simply cannot thank you enough for changing my understanding of nutrition and anti inflammatory foods. You succeeded where FOUR consultants totally failed. THANK YOU!!!!
I was diagnosed with prostatecancer and diabetes and therefore i started KETO all due to Dr. Thomas Seyfried, Boston University. I have been on Keto for 10 months now and i lost 20 kilo of weight. All my blood measurements are better. Since one month i hade started using MCT C8 oil (to raise ketones) all together with appciderwinegar (to lower bloodsugar) and now i am contantly below GKI 2,0 where i need to be due to Dr. Thomas Seyfried to beat the cancer. The bloodsugar is now on a normal level of 5,0. I have the cancer left to beat.
wishing you good health always..keep going and try to enjoy life in between fighting this cancer.....do things you enjoyed as a child..where you completely forgot about time or anything going on around you....maybe watch a good fun movie, lie on a beach or by a lake where it is quiet...do art or pottery or a puzzle, or renovate something...or take up gardening,an allotment perhaps ..help others....or get involved in teaching some sport...go swimming/ hiking...listen to good music and learn to dance.. oxygen and good bloodflow is important to combat cancer ......you can forget to do these things for yourself when you become so focused on fighting an illness..i read that prostate issues can arise from too much sitting....more common in sedentarytype work or driving a lot. ...so get moving ❤.take good care of yourself😊
Cancer survivor here and am still learning to take better care of myself...missing more fun in my life....the way it used to be ....I forgot how important fun and self care are. 😊
Я из России, Доктор Экбер очень сильно впечатляет точной подачей информации, он перевернул мои привычные взгляды на вещи. Спасибо за видео, невероятно правильно и грамотно преподносите важные для людей факты.
People asked me how I lost 80 pounds and got off meds so I tell them. “Oh that’s impossible. You must have had “fat surgery”. After 6 years of maintaining my good health and weight I gave up talking about it. Most people just want the “magic pill” and still eat the chocolate cake. People who really want change will come here, to this and a few other channels, and stay here.
I feel you bro. I had 2 mini strokes within 2 weeks of each other had multiple ambulance rides to the hospital. It took some major fear to make me change my diet. Got on a true balanced diet with good fats and carbs and dropped 80 lbs like you and now have no issues. Im healthy all across the board. It takes change and its not pains from getting older its your diet and lifestyle. Congratulations on your accomplishments bro 👏🏼
@@joanneclark8256 I followed the advice of my now retired family doc. His words that have stuck with me since……”Ever heard of KETOSIS? Do you like bacon?” He then made me sit down to watch two videos. One video about how you get T2 diabetes and the other how to get rid from of it. Now I watch a very short list of creators who focus on keto and carnivore ways of eating. STAY AWAY FROM KETO SNACKS, STORE BOUGHT AND HOMEMADE. Best of luck.
You have to wonder why there’s only 1200 likes 😮, 4.3 million subscribers???. All this type of information has caused me to drop to my teen age weight after 40 years of never being able get below 25 lbs excess weight. Thx keep up the good work ❤
Everything you stated about the wrong things about doctors advice is exactly what my doctor was telling me for years. Just kept pill pushing and I was getting worse. I finally cut the ties with his practice as he got upset with my diet and my changes. Unfortunately he is the Director of the Hospital as well and you know his thinking and thought process is governing the entire medical field at that hospital. Your channel has helped me in so many ways. The road is slow, but i am making progress and losing weight and my blood work is getting better each time. Thank you so much for your help Dr. Ekberg. I really appreciate the advice as I cannot afford a private counselor. You make this journey so much better.
Good morning Dr. Ekberg! Thanks for such an informative video! Just another example of how our "health" care system won't listen to reason, or look at the science. Also, the food industry should be completely overhauled (somehow) to make food that isn't so toxic! Thank you for putting the information out there for anyone who will listen to reason! You are a true gift to the world! Hope you have a great weekend!☺️
I listened to the entire message and I THANK you so kindly for helping us! I just dropped my high triglycerides down to the bottom of the graph, but my LDL is still quite high. Its a work in progress 🙂
I feel beyond help. I have type 2, fatty liver, hbp, I’m always tired. 70 pounds overweight. I need encouragement! I won’t be around long like this guys
Please know that the advice Dr. Ekberg gives is absolutely the best. We have been brainwashed with the old Food Pyramid model and it is hard to get our heads around this new information. Look at all these testimonials--many of us have been in the same boat as you but we're able to immensely improve our health by implementing Dr. Ekberg's recommendations. I will pray for you to feel encouragement to begging this protocol and I pro
stop eating crap and you will get better. 100% with tough love I tell you, stop the pity party. YOU can turn this around. One day at A TIME. Eat meat, veg and nuts only (don't even worry about which veg is low carb or what for now), drink only water and tea and coffee with a little milk if needed. Thats it. Don't cheat. Don't go hungry. Just eat from these choices. You will slowly not eat as often and then you can start intermittent fasting at 12 hours. Like 8pm till 8am. Get out in the sunshine for a little stroll. even to your mail box, is a start. Stop ingesting unnecessary toxic load. NO pain killers for mild stuff. start buying beauty and cleaning products that are chemical free. BOOM. your doing it. Thats it. THATS ALL YOU GOTTA DO. the weight will fall off you and you WILL reverse your diabetes.
@goldstar846 you are a food magician. Does not work always. My fatty liver is inherited. I get special treatments.,iam waiting for a cure. I might have to get a transplant. Most organ illnesses are inherited. Tracey needs to see a liver doctor.
Tracy, I feel you. Same issues. But fell and fractured my back/L3 back in 2019. Right when Covid started. I live alone and no one came to help me. I could hardly walk so I ate very little. And to my surprise I started feeling better. Like way better. I started researching and realized I was fasting . I have my energy back and 2 years later started spending my money on a trainer at a local gym and feel the best I ever had. Turning 75 next year. Best injury ever!!! You can do it .
Thankyou Dr Sten for your dedication to getting the correct message out there about these health problems that can usually be managed with I.F. and eating the correct foods. You've certainly changed my life quality.
Thank you. I’ve been working out, eating better. I was struggling with my diet and working out. I’m still getting it together. This video has helped me. My doctor was trying to put me on cholesterol medication and I said no. I’m working on it with diet and exercise
I appreciate the message and dedication in these videos. At my mid 40+stage, I’ve begun an overhaul of my diet in the past 18 months with many of the wisdoms provided via sources like this and the people around me don’t fully appreciate the ideology of eating only whole foods. The solace I found in sticking to my dietary change thus far is the improvements of the aliments that were making me age and deteriorate faster. Please keep these videos rolling and hopefully more will eventually appreciate what diet and lifestyle can do for one’s health.
Thank you - great point about the doctor who said "You could eat less sugar ... but you won't". I think this problem is amplified by our health care system that rewards very short patient-doctor interactions and leaves the doctor little room or motivation for follow ups and actually helping patients manage their issues without drugs (or without a reimbursable diagnosis)
I'm 58 years old. I eat OMAD (over 3.5 years): fatty meat, eggs, butter, drink water, salt my food to taste, and drink one cup of coffee in the morning. Trigs = 88 HDL = 55 BP = 107/75 W:H Ratio = 0.5 Gluc = 74 Ankle:Brachial Index = 1.2 HbA1c = 3.8% Insulin = 3.2 Weight = 13 stone, 84 kilos, 184 pounds. La vie est grande ! ❤
Lieber Stan, ich habe schon so viele Videos von dir gehört, und es kann gar nicht genug sein, auch in den Wiederholungen. Es ist so hilfreich! Ich kann dir gar nicht genug von Herzen danken. Gott segne dich ud deine Arbeit!
The best news I got in June of this yr besides still being cancer free after my 1 yr c.t.scan is my fatty liver was gone.these video,s helped save my life.ive lost 137 pounds in 2 yrs.
This doctor needs to be cloned and put into every medical school to re-educate doctors with correct information about health. He is brilliant, and a gem of a person to anyone with common sense about how to improve their health in a sustained way. I just love learning from his simple to understand videos. I respect this man immensely. 🙏🙏🙏
The problem with your idea is medicine is a business. Doctors like Sten RUIN their business, and that is why they are not HAPPY when your labs convert and you get healthy. THEY CAN’T make money off of you. That’s why we still have cancer, it’s a billion dollar industry. Think about it
Agree 💯. It's really a crime the ignorance, misguidance and/or disinformation that persists in the medical community to this day. I'm so thankful to Dr Ekberg and the other few brave souls who are (freely !!) sharing the knowledge ❤❤❤❤
Hi from Neuquén, Argentinian Patagonia. I'm waiting for my lab results because I was diagnosed fatty liver. Since I don't fully trust doctors who work for the public system, I've decided to search trustful information like yours. Two decades ago I was diagnosed with diabetes, but it took me 3 months to heal myself by changing my eating habits. This time I'll do the same. Thank you so much!
Dr Ekberg, i hope you will read my message. I’m a geneticist (Phd) and i have started seeing your videos few months ago. everything you said is in agreement with the research i have red on the topic. i am on keto for the last 1,5 month and i’m down 10 Kg. i have another 10 to lose. i just wanted to thank you for spreading good and true advices . you are a good human being.
I've been sick for 2 weeks now due to NAFLD. My doctor said tthe same, eat small portions but 3 to 4 times a day of low carb, low fat. Now, I'm so sick. My gallbladder was taken out 15 years ago. I'm Really hoping this video will help me. Thank you 🙏
NO GRAINS NO FRUITS NO POTATOES NO ADDED SUGARS NO SEED OILS IT WILL TAKE ABOUT 2 months ! Works for me ! Down 23 Kg No more NAFLD NO MORE SINUS ISSUES NO more ARTHRITIS! FAR FEWER GI issues Far better physical endurance too!
I cut out all sugars, all prepackaged foods and all fast food, it helped every problem I have, my pain got near to nothing, I hope your food intake will change some things for you. I stage 4 fatty liver cirrhosis as well, I’m fatigued near every day, I use to be quite active, but not so much now.
I went for a CT scan for a chronic pain in my side. No doctor has found the reason for my pain but I did find out I have mild fatty liver…no one has discussed it. Doctors were upset I stopped taking my blood pressure and cholesterol meds. Glad I found keto on UA-cam. Hopefully I’ll reverse my fatty liver and plug on trying to figure out why my side hurts.
If the pain is on the right side toward the bottom of the rib-cage it is probably the liver (which will be swollen - it swells during fatty liver). Glad you found Keto and Dr Sten
Although everything you say I've heard before (and elswhere), I always watch all of the videos(start to finish), to constantly improve and remind myself of the importand factors you mention. It's important to check others as well, to get affirmation of these points. Your presentations are very well done.
Talking about attention span, I actually started taking notes to properly remember all the information you give and hopefully convince my family to change their feeding habits, since my improvements in health and my weight loss aren't enough for them, quite frustrating. But you're amazing, completely changed my life for the better.
Doctor told me to stop eating Gravy, Fried Food, and Spicy food. She was only 2/3 right, as my hot sauce has 1 Gram of carbs per serving and life without seasonings would be death for me.
Most doctors in my area are associated with hospitals that require them to follow specific policies and procedures dictating course of action, prescription drug regimen, and surgical procedures. They are not free to say what they believe. It is ill advised to blindly trust medical guidance.
My doctor totally confused me. Bloods showed normal but my scan showed 30% fatty liver. So I am on my own. Cut the carbs and all sugars 7 months later. 40lbs down and my liver is back to normal. My doctor never said a word.
And doctor's compensation is tied to the quantity of prescriptions they write and the drugs they prescribe. So the system is rigged to keep patients on drugs.
YOU ARE AMAZING!!! I have found out so much truth from you. I am learning so much, I am reversing things and losing weight instead of continuing to gain. Thank you for your time and energy to do these videos for people. Thank you for helping to save lives through this information. ♥️
Thank you so much for this video! Your advice has helped me with many health issues! I intermittently fast on an 18/6. Cut out the sugar and processed foods , I've lost 20 lb and I am never hungry. I no longer need heartburn medication I wake up less frequently at night and my mind is much clearer!
Thank you for these long detailed videos, I loved every minute of every video. It is now 2 years and 3 months since I started listening to the correct info and I am 80 lbs lighter and never going back.
Another Great educational video, as usual. I am glued to the video to the end no matter how long it lasts because I have learned so much over the years from you.
Crazy how many comments are here in just a few hours ! that shows how good his videos are and how truthful and needed The info is for our society. I’ve also benefited from the advice of low-carb intermittent fasting and reversed, not only non-alcoholic fatty liver, but alcoholic fatty liver but of course i quit deinking as well
"...BUT YOU WON'T..." Why would a doctor assume the worst? I'm glad my doctor is at least tolerant. Gotta be watchful of our sick-care system...vigilantly.
@kraka2oanIner I feel for the doc who says that, though. People won't change their eating habits just because a doctor tells them to. If hearing what one SHOULD do actually made most people do better, we'd all be living in a utopia. No debt no alcoholism no shootings. Doctors who DO know better get tired of talking to brick walls. They're dealing with folks who'd NEVER watch this video.
Thank you for this hugely informative and very useful video. Dr Ekberg! I am following you for many years and learned a lot about my body. You are such an inspiration for millions of people around the world. Please disregard the trends about viewing habits of other people and please do not stop the long videos, explaining about how our body really works. I learned a lot from you in the last four years and utilised my knowledge to improve my life and health. My positive results inspired other people in my community so the effect of your work goes beyond of your followers. Thank you!
I enjoy your videos because although they are very very in-depth, you present the information in a way that I can understand. Thank you for your good work:)
Great advice, I do this advice and it fixed my health in my mid 50s. I remember when my doctor told me the same thing. I found my why when they wanted to cut out my gallbladder thank goodness they didn’t.
Endless gratitude to your work and even bigger admiration to your patience. I watch all videos and share with friends and colleagues. One colleagues who I forced to watch your videos in full, who was determined to loose weight. He achieved phenomenal results, looks 10 years younger, has healthy weight, training well, etc. I only wish videos were available with other languages subtitles, russian in particular. I wish I could pass this info to my family. Thank you Dr Ekberg. Please keep educating us 🙏
Thank You @AK-uy2et. I am now dubbing the original English audio track into multiple languages so I can get the message of health out to more people around the world. Depending on what region you are in when you click the video, and based on what your default language settings are, UA-cam will automatically serve it out to you in that language. To choose your preferred language for a given video, simply go to the bottom right of the screen, (or maybe top right on mobile), and click on the gear icon (Settings). Then click on "Audio track" and select the language of your choice. I am diligently working to translate and upload more videos in more languages every day, but it will still take some time to get most or all of the videos translated. Thank you for watching and feel free to share this feature if you know people who prefer another language.
I really appreciate your guidance. You are very good at explaining and guiding. I have lost 50 pounds in the last 6 months because of your guidance and I really appreciate you.
Esten. Thanks so much for your videos!! As a self-managing diabetic with PCOS. I have tried different medicines and I just can’t tolerate them. Having to do it on my own. With diet and intermittent fasting I’ve brought down A1C from 7.8 to a 6.0 in less than 3 months. I do get bored of food as a picky eater to begin with but the better educated we are in the matter, the better equipped we are to make better choices and read labels that hide things and market themselves in a misleading manner. Thanks again. I’ve learned so much from you! 🎉❤
Dziękuję Panu brdzo dr Ekberg za tak wspaniałe rady zdrowotne dla utrzymania zdrowego organizmu. Ja nie mam problemów ze stłuszczona wątroba ale uważam że wiedza jak zapobiec stłuszczeniu wątroby wpływa bardzo pozytywnie na wiele innych narządów w naszym organizmie . Dziękuję i serdecznie pozdrawiam.
Many thanks Dr. Ekberg your videos are saving lives. Please make a video on smoking. We know plenty about the negative health effects. Not many realistic advice out there on how we can actually quit.
I am totally hooked on your videos now, and have changed the way I and my husband eat - I was always pleased with the food we ate, I cooked most things from scratch and avoided processed foods apart from the odd treat. However, I used the low fat method, avoiding anything with fat as I read that it was bad for us, also thought that anything with artificial sweetener was good for us. My husband's BP went through the roof recently, and he has had a NAFD for a while now, along with having his gall bladder out a few months ago. Since following your advice he is feeling much better, his BP is going down, and I no longer crave chocolate or sweet food. We have a light lunch and an evening meal of lean meat and salad, we do not want breakfast and are generally not hungry, but feel great. Thanks for your videos, don't stop making them!!!
Great information! Been watching this channel for years. In 2019 lost over 100lbs with your advice and kept it off. I run 3 times a week and go to the gym and I also eat once a day mainly meat and veggies
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ thank you! For a great video. I recommend your channel to "my" patients in the er. We see fatty liver on almost everybody on their CT scan. Heart breaking to see in children. But your channel gives hope to others and myself.❤❤❤❤❤ It's the sugar. Fructose. And insulin... The storage hormone and growth hormone.... And ultra processed foods and alcohol.
My last Dr. told me that everyone should be taking a Statin no matter what the blood test shows. I never went back. He was just a pill pusher. Many are like that.
I had a statin prescribed to me after a hospital stay in which no definitive cause for my symptoms could be identified. I refused it because I'd worked on a study that was stopped due to the adverse events people were experiencing in the course of the study. The problems people had weren't unique to that particular manufacturer's drug; they were the same ones you see quickly featured at the bottom of your television screen during a commercial and that you've heard about or found if you've looked up side effects of statins. No thanks, I'll pass on that one.

I'm 61. Almost four years ago I was almost 300lbs. with many health issues; high BP, asthma, severe osteoarthritis with bone spurs. I couldn't walk. After watching videos like these, I went low carb, high fat keto and learned how to fast, I lost 160lbs. It reversed ALL my health issues. I'm now active, able to be on my feet all day. I'm off all my medications and my asthma is gone.I did it all on my own. I'm maintaining well and loving my fasting, ketovore lifestyle. I'll trust "my" doctors I follow every time!

@@joanneclark8256 what work for me was eliminating alcohol completely as well as ultra processed foods along with intermittent fasting. Basically skip breakfast. Make lunch first meal. Everyone is different but those are imo the basic principles of dr sten. Hope that helps

Well done. 👍
My doctor told me to exercise more and cut out sugar. I changed my diet by moving to a "no sugar added" cereal, I substituted dried blueberries for sugar on my cereal and I stopped adding sugar to my coffee and tea. Things didn't get better. Then I learned how to read labels. Total Carbs-Dietary Fiber=Sugar. I discovered my no-sugar-added cereal was essentially a bowl of sugar, the dried blueberries were sugar pills and the various starches I was eating (pasta and bread) were sugar. Salad dressings were also sugar bombs. My wife substituted olive oil and butter for seed oils, and we make our own salad dressings. She changed other ingredients to reduce starches and increased avocados and cruciferous vegetables. Knowing how to identify sugar, we cut our sugar consumption. We also started IF by reducing our eating window to 7 hours. In a month I lost 15 pounds - 10% of my body weight. My wife is happy because she lost weight, too. We are in our 70's and neither of us are on medications.
The moral of the story is in order to reduce sugar, you need to know how to identify it.
Thank you for your very informative videos!

it is hard to spot the hidden sugar - it's basically in all things, even non sugar products. I make my own yogurt now while fasting 18/6. 42 C (3,5 % milk) with natural yogurt added. One month now - the cravings are gone and I'm starting to feel the benefits. Next step is to fill my time restricted eating with more healthy "whole foods" and cut down on alcohol.

I have had same problem as one of your viewers here - fatty liver and bad gall bladder. Same advice, low fat, high carbs. Gave me a load of meds. When I questioned it, my doctor told me "you should trust me because I am a doctor".
Needless to say, I am doing the opposite. I trust my gut, and I trust me; and no longer seeing the ego driven doctor. Thank you Dr Ekberg.
Trust me, bro. I'm a doctor.
How you get well
We can only imagine how many people have had their GBs removed unnecessarily, and primarily caused by the very same medical advice that made them sick in the first place. It's a good bet that it's the majority, at least... It's simply tragic.
Doctors and the medical establishment has been DETHRONED!
Dr Goggle and crowd sourced data trumps the official narrative!
I recently had a cardiologist tell me that my cholesterol was to high to lower by diet and exercise. I told him no statins. He prescribed a no statin cholesterol medicine. l researched the med and it can cause liver damage.
I stopped listening to most doctors, as they are trained in medicine, not health and nutrition…but I’ve found that this doctor is quite helpful.
Amen I’m more healthier staying away from mainstream drs since 2010 best decision of my life!
My doctor told me my kidneys and liver was toxic and dying. None Alcohol Fatty Liver, type 2 diabetes, 270 triglycerides and hypothyroid.
I stopped eating all sugars and carbs as was possible. Ate mostly grass fed beef, lots of beef organs, wild sockeye salmon, pasture eggs, 7 Cups of greens and lots of green tea. Lost a pound a day for six months.
Went back and tested much better. Everything was normal.
You lost a pound a day for six months! Really? that's 180 pounds....How much do you weigh now....40 pounds ?
Thanks for sharing with us. Just finished reading "Health and Beauty Mastery" - what an eye-opener! This book exposes so many hidden truths about the health industry that no one talks about!

I can watch his videos over and over again too. Same with similar channels like DrGundry, pradipjamnadasmd, DoctorBoz and many others. These are simply GOLD, because they improve quality of our lifes. However, it is very difficult to find other types of UA-cam channels that could be described the same way. It is basically a waste of time to watch anything else on UA-cam. UA-cam is a big trap.
Something's awry! I fasted, quit drinking wine and eat real food. Oh yea, the movement too. Sincere thanks to Dr. Ekberg and all you health champions for enriching my life!
My gastro consultant said to me after I was diagnosed last year with NAFLD which had turned to fibrosis "eat frequent small meals". I told him I had done my own research for the past few months and I was now doing low carb and no sugar. He shook his head and said " there's no need to do that just eat lots of small meals, I mean eat like a mouse". I said to him I have just lost 3 stone, reversed my pre diabetes, I'm making myself better! He said " listen to me, what I tell you will help make you better!". Needless to say I walked out of his office and did my own thing. I know I am making myself better. My liver is still repairing but getting better. I've now lost 5 stone and have a way to go but I know what I am doing is working. Listen to Dr Ekberg. ❤
That is awesome. Keep up the good work.
Can I ask if the fibrosis is reversing?
@@sweetbeep yes it is!!! My liver enzymes are all now totally normal, my cholesterol and lipids all normal, pre diabetes is reversed and my blood pressure medication has halved and lovely blood pressure now. Eat clean, no sugar and low carb as possible. Intermittent fasting.
@@lisawilks5156 that is awesome. How can you tell the fibrosis is reversing...does it show less on an ultrasound or CT scan?
@@sweetbeep I have had fibroscan and my blood work was not good to start with but now excellent.
Dr Ekberg probably has more knowledge and interests than our WHOLE NHS so called specialists. You're worth your weight in gold. Please, please keep up your great work.
Nhs only has pfizers info on hand
Have you had the same experience as me where they are all now calling themselves "specialists", though none of them are on the GMC "specialist register"!? Seems the word "specialist" is the buzz word in the NHS these days. My gp told me - exact words: "you should trust me because I am a doctor". I wonder if 'too many' people are waking up.
@@dianegriffen2756 I'm thinking the term specialist and Dr is used to say "shut up I know what I'm talking about". But of course over time, trial and error you learn different. It's a sad situation when it's life depending, and that's the state of our NHS.
If there is one thing I’ve learned from bitter experience is that doctors are worse than useless. Years wasted suffering with ill health and then you have to go and learn for yourself on UA-cam of all places. Thank god for Dr Ekberg, he’s changed my health and life for the better.
Im an engineer, and I absolutely love they way he shows the how and why, and not just "here it is".
I wanna thank u, u changed my life 360 degrees. I have been verry depressed for as long as i can remember. Im 34 years old and after i start eat real food my mindset changed from negative to positive. I used to wake up angry and basicly hate my life. Now i wake up and im exided for every day. Big big big thanks, u change my life forever. Keep up the good work with these amazing videos
I always listen the the whole video. Fortunately i am to listen while i work and get paid to educate myself. This is one of the best health channels on UA-cam
Four months ago, I was diagnosed with diabetes, with an HbA1c of 10.6, and I had no idea about it. Then, I came across your videos and began to believe in reversing it once I understood the mechanism of insulin resistance. Now, my HbA1c is down to 5.6-simply cutting carbs and practicing intermittent fasting worked wonders for me. Additionally, my lipid profile was concerning, with high VLDL and low HDL levels. After following your advice and incorporating cheese and butter into my meals, my HDL has risen from 37 to 61, and my VLDL has dropped to 16. Thank you so much, Doctor, for showing us a path to a healthier, better life.
I've watched at least 100 hrs of your videos through the years. The education is always so much appreciated. But THIS VIDEO IS LEAPS AND BOUNDS BETTER THAN ALL THE OTHERS OF YOURS I'VE WATCHED. The Breakdown is understandable without a bunch of overwhelming terminology. The examples given are true to life and therefore very applicable. This clearly shows the false data alongside the true data, with case histories of patients that prove each. Also, as always, you are NEVER hateful of other doctors who have false educations and give incorrect info. God Bless you. I love you more and more with every video that helps so many people.
I can offer another testimony.
02 July 24, newly diagnosed T2D, 100 lbs overweight, morbid obesity with fatty liver, BP= 179/89, difficult to dress, difficult to exercise, difficult to get up and down, difficult to breath…
03 July 24, began strict Keto and OMAD…..
06 September 24, I’ve decreased my weight, 51 lbs, my BP = 101/60, easier to dress, exercise has increased X 100%, dressing much easier, getting up and down easier, breathing easier, eye sight better, cognition better (reading much faster/comprehending quicker).
I still have a long way to go; but, with this honest attempt at OMAD and strict Keto working well, I will continue and add some 1-3 day fasting. My appetite has decreased significantly. My taste for sweets has decreased. I still look at bread with hard cravings sometimes. I just turn away most of the time. One day I had some tortilla chips with salsa. One day I shared an Apple fritter with my wife. SHEESH, the guilt ruined the pleasure.
Thanks, Dr. Ekberg, from east Tennessee.
Hope you go further more weight lose. Good going
👏 .
I suggest true fruit and vegetables instead of grains and starches if you want some healthy carbohydrates.
Fructose from fruit together with all the fiber and raw and well combined meaning without any starches, fat or protein, fruit is healthy!
Enjoy and keep going!
Keep up the good work, I lost 30 lbs over the last 30 days on keto and my sugar is 99% in range. I look at coke with disgust now. My appetite is minimal too. Main thing on keto is to drink electrolytes.
Well done! You are very disciplined, and I'm confident you will succeed. Of course, if you want to maintain that you can never go back to the old ways.
I am taking a slightly different approach. In January I began a "low-carb" diet (not keto) combined with physical activity (hiking 10-15 miles daily). The time to do that (2-4h) is the time I used to waste eating chips, cakes and cookies in front of the computer. I still crave those things to be sure, but haven't touched any or eaten fast food since January. I slammed the door firmly shut on those mouthwatering delights.
With this approach I went from 290lb to 190lb in 8 months. The diabetes is "gone". People cannot believe I am the same person. I fit into normal clothing, not giant sweatpants and 4XL T-shirts. I'm wearing clothes that have literally gathered dust in the closet for 15 years. Getting out of bed no longer involves contortions. It feels incredible.
But I have hit a wall. I knew this would happen. Being 100 pounds lighter, I am doing far less work. Continued reduction will require a new strategy such as proper fasting, keto and strength training. You are on track to avoid this issue, so well done indeed!
I’m dying guys! I have all his symptoms. Wish me well folks! I won’t be around long if I don’t reverse fatty liver and type two. Help
I started to eliminate carbo and sugar from 5 months . My laboratory tests , all are perfect , and I really feel fine like never before .I eat eggs , cheese , meet and all the things that before the doctors tell me to avoid . Thank's Doct Ekberg !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm 35 years old. I've had Lyme Disease and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever for 30 years. Undiagnosed and mistreated for 27 years. I had to tell doctors what to test me for to figure it out. Took the antibiotics and it almost killed me and I was completely bed ridden. I tried countless natural remedies all of them made me worse. I had massive inflammation in my entire body. Literally measurable disease in every organ of my body. After I took the antibiotics I never saw another doctor again and I won't for the rest of my life! Through diet and eventually exercise and being outdoors as much as possible I've managed to reverse everything and now am far healthier than 80% of Americans. Now my idea of a good time is hiking 20 miles while fasting the whole time. Please listen to what this man says. It might just save your life!

I started listening and learning from you 6 years ago when I went Keto. Keto was still a slippery slope so I went to Carnivore 14 months ago and have had bumps with that but the last 2 months have been perfect for me. At 69 years old, I feel great at 160 lbs. Many unexpected things have gotten better since I went Carnivore like gum disease is gone, my hair grew back, my gray actually lessened, my shoulder injury from 30 years ago is healed and so much more.
Well done
Thank you so much for this information. My doctor is totally ignoring my fatty liver disease. He also ignores me when I want to talk about metabolic disease. He acts like there is no such thing.

So right on "Eat more fruit" my doctor told me during my journey from A1C of 8.0 to 4.7 that "Berries are your new candy. Eat them like that, as a treat, occasionally."
My mother died of NAFLD (she never drank alcohol). She felt sick for years but her doctor could never find the reason. I'm convinced it was her diet - she rarely ate a normal or balanced meal, but would nibble on buttered toast and eat several bananas a day, believing that 'fruit' was good for her. She rarely ate protein and cooked with bad oils. She was also inactive. The death certificate stated that she died of non-alcohol related cirrhosis of the liver. I'm very grateful for Dr. Ekberg's videos and follow his advice for how to eat healthy and have an active, healthy lifestyle.
I'm sorry for your loss. Can I ask if she was overweight at all?
@@sweetbeep Sorry for the late reply. Yes, she was a bit overweight, but not obese.
@@tennisandmusicfan ok thanks so much. One of the UA-camrs said if we have fat on the abdomen, then we have fat in the liver.
Eating too much milk banana shake as a food in morning and fruit juice also cause severe liver damaged as they were considered as the healthiest food in our people .even though I don't like sweet too much but just because of considering them as healthy in our society I ate too much fruit and fruit juice
@@ramanand8111 I used to drink a lot of banana milk smoothies. They say that the bananas today were bred from something much less sweeter from back in the day.
Can I ask what country you are speaking of?
Thank you Dr.Ekberg. I was 209lbs on January 1, 2024. I am now 159lbs and 9lbs from my goal maintenance weight. This is thanks to watching your videos, as well as other people on this platform, and testing it to see how I react to it.
Jesus said: The truth will set you free. For some years now I have realized that we have been deceived all our lives by people who do not care about the lives of others more than they care about money. All this information to people like you Doctor is worth gold. God bless you immensely. Thank you.

I work for a company that produces food packaging. The and/or ingredients doesn't mean they don't know what's in the product. The ingredients vary when commodity prices shift or some become unavailable. (For instance, the war in Ukraine lead to sunflower oil shortages.) Packaging/labeling is expensive, so they list potential ingredients. Otherwise they would have to keep swapping labels for different production runs of their product. Very annoying for the consumer, but it makes financial sense. Money rules.
I just started watching your videos about two months ago. Even though the subject of body chemistry, etc. may seem boring, I find your videos fascinating and watch them all beginning to end. It’s refreshing to see this information discussed in a non-gimmicky, non-fanatical way without trying to push a bunch of products. You are so right about how doctors are these days. My tests came back with high A1C and liver enzymes and there was only canned remarks. NO discussion or follow-up with doctors. They either don’t care, don’t know or don’t think it will do any good to discuss lifestyle changes even though I specifically said I don’t want meds, but want advice on what I could do to lower my numbers. I thought I was healthy and didn’t even understand the importance of the test results. Now, with your help I do, and have taken action (-20 lbs and counting). I talk about you to my family and friends all of the time and they all are sick of hearing about Dr. Sten. Once they see how successful I am with my new healthier lifestyle I hope they will join us. Thank you!
Hi Sten, I've been following you for a few years now and your advice has TOTALLY transformed my life.
I was struck down by Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in 2011 which involved a high element of pain. I was on large amounts of medication and decided this was simply not sustainable. As a result of your advice I started taking a daily smoothy made of Flax seed, Chia seed, raw Cocao powder, Ginger, Ceylon Cinnomon, Macca (and now Ashwagandha). I eat a high protein, high fat but low carb diet. I lost weight, the pain vanished and I'm exercising daily and doing multi day hikes in the mountains etc. Best of all I'm on absolutely no medications. I've noticed I no longer seem to get ill with coughs or colds. I simply cannot thank you enough for changing my understanding of nutrition and anti inflammatory foods. You succeeded where FOUR consultants totally failed. THANK YOU!!!!
I was diagnosed with prostatecancer and diabetes and therefore i started KETO all due to Dr. Thomas Seyfried, Boston University.
I have been on Keto for 10 months now and i lost 20 kilo of weight. All my blood measurements are better. Since one month i hade started using MCT C8 oil (to raise ketones) all together with appciderwinegar (to lower bloodsugar) and now i am contantly below GKI 2,0 where i need to be due to Dr. Thomas Seyfried to beat the cancer. The bloodsugar is now on a normal level of 5,0. I have the cancer left to beat.
Get well soon.

Я из России, Доктор Экбер очень сильно впечатляет точной подачей информации, он перевернул мои привычные взгляды на вещи. Спасибо за видео, невероятно правильно и грамотно преподносите важные для людей факты.
People asked me how I lost 80 pounds and got off meds so I tell them. “Oh that’s impossible. You must have had “fat surgery”. After 6 years of maintaining my good health and weight I gave up talking about it. Most people just want the “magic pill” and still eat the chocolate cake. People who really want change will come here, to this and a few other channels, and stay here.
I feel you bro. I had 2 mini strokes within 2 weeks of each other had multiple ambulance rides to the hospital. It took some major fear to make me change my diet. Got on a true balanced diet with good fats and carbs and dropped 80 lbs like you and now have no issues. Im healthy all across the board. It takes change and its not pains from getting older its your diet and lifestyle. Congratulations on your accomplishments bro 👏🏼

Do you like bacon?” He then made me sit down to watch two videos. One video about how you get T2 diabetes and the other how to get rid from of it. Now I watch a very short list of creators who focus on keto and carnivore ways of eating. STAY AWAY FROM KETO SNACKS, STORE BOUGHT AND HOMEMADE. Best of luck.
@@joanneclark8256follow all Dr Sten's advice. That how health is gained.
Thank you, Dr. Ekberg! After four years of following your advise I feel GREAT! I am 63 years old and started hiking this year.
Thanks for starting me on on my health journey. I'm becoming stronger and fitter!
هذه القناة فريدة من نوعها ودكتور Ekberg الأفضل على الإطلاق.. شكرا جزيلاااا
You have to wonder why there’s only 1200 likes 😮, 4.3 million subscribers???. All this type of information has caused me to drop to my teen age weight after 40 years of never being able get below 25 lbs excess weight. Thx keep up the good work ❤
Lol!! That's only because you got to the video very early. It had only been up a short time, and half the American continent was still asleep..
Same.
Everything you stated about the wrong things about doctors advice is exactly what my doctor was telling me for years. Just kept pill pushing and I was getting worse. I finally cut the ties with his practice as he got upset with my diet and my changes. Unfortunately he is the Director of the Hospital as well and you know his thinking and thought process is governing the entire medical field at that hospital. Your channel has helped me in so many ways. The road is slow, but i am making progress and losing weight and my blood work is getting better each time. Thank you so much for your help Dr. Ekberg. I really appreciate the advice as I cannot afford a private counselor. You make this journey so much better.
What foods you do ?
They're in the business of making customers, not cures.
Good morning Dr. Ekberg! Thanks for such an informative video! Just another example of how our "health" care system won't listen to reason, or look at the science. Also, the food industry should be completely overhauled (somehow) to make food that isn't so toxic! Thank you for putting the information out there for anyone who will listen to reason! You are a true gift to the world! Hope you have a great weekend!☺️
This is the best info for NAFLD! Thank you so much. My doctor told me low fat but I follow you so I knew it was wrong! Thank you
I listened to the entire message and I THANK you so kindly for helping us! I just dropped my high triglycerides down to the bottom of the graph, but my LDL is still quite high. Its a work in progress 🙂
I feel beyond help. I have type 2, fatty liver, hbp, I’m always tired. 70 pounds overweight. I need encouragement! I won’t be around long like this guys
Please know that the advice Dr. Ekberg gives is absolutely the best. We have been brainwashed with the old Food Pyramid model and it is hard to get our heads around this new information. Look at all these testimonials--many of us have been in the same boat as you but we're able to immensely improve our health by implementing Dr. Ekberg's recommendations. I will pray for you to feel encouragement to begging this protocol and I pro
stop eating crap and you will get better. 100%
with tough love I tell you, stop the pity party. YOU can turn this around. One day at A TIME.
Eat meat, veg and nuts only (don't even worry about which veg is low carb or what for now), drink only water and tea and coffee with a little milk if needed.
Thats it. Don't cheat. Don't go hungry. Just eat from these choices.
You will slowly not eat as often and then you can start intermittent fasting at 12 hours. Like 8pm till 8am.
Get out in the sunshine for a little stroll. even to your mail box, is a start.
Stop ingesting unnecessary toxic load. NO pain killers for mild stuff. start buying beauty and cleaning products that are chemical free.
BOOM. your doing it. Thats it. THATS ALL YOU GOTTA DO.
the weight will fall off you and you WILL reverse your diabetes.
@goldstar846 you are a food magician. Does not work always. My fatty liver is inherited. I get special treatments.,iam waiting for a cure. I might have to get a transplant. Most organ illnesses are inherited. Tracey needs to see a liver doctor.
Tracy, I feel you. Same issues. But fell and fractured my back/L3 back in 2019. Right when Covid started. I live alone and no one came to help me. I could hardly walk so I ate very little. And to my surprise I started feeling better. Like way better. I started researching and realized I was fasting . I have my energy back and 2 years later started spending my money on a trainer at a local gym and feel the best I ever had. Turning 75 next year. Best injury ever!!! You can do it .
Ty everyone! I’ve changed my diet completely and although I can’t exercise much, I do as much as I can. Prayers for me, if you are a prayerer
Thankyou Dr Sten for your dedication to getting the correct message out there about these health problems that can usually be managed with I.F. and eating the correct foods. You've certainly changed my life quality.
Thank you. I’ve been working out, eating better. I was struggling with my diet and working out. I’m still getting it together. This video has helped me. My doctor was trying to put me on cholesterol medication and I said no. I’m working on it with diet and exercise
I appreciate the message and dedication in these videos. At my mid 40+stage, I’ve begun an overhaul of my diet in the past 18 months with many of the wisdoms provided via sources like this and the people around me don’t fully appreciate the ideology of eating only whole foods. The solace I found in sticking to my dietary change thus far is the improvements of the aliments that were making me age and deteriorate faster. Please keep these videos rolling and hopefully more will eventually appreciate what diet and lifestyle can do for one’s health.
Thank you - great point about the doctor who said "You could eat less sugar ... but you won't". I think this problem is amplified by our health care system that rewards very short patient-doctor interactions and leaves the doctor little room or motivation for follow ups and actually helping patients manage their issues without drugs (or without a reimbursable diagnosis)

@@DonJohnson-t2b Agreed! Be well!
Excellent!! 👍👍👍👍
@@Happyandfree67 Merci beaucoup ! (or in Texas, we say, "Mercy Buckets"!) Thanks. :D
Lieber Stan, ich habe schon so viele Videos von dir gehört, und es kann gar nicht genug sein, auch in den Wiederholungen.
Es ist so hilfreich!
Ich kann dir gar nicht genug von Herzen danken.
Gott segne dich ud deine Arbeit!
The best news I got in June of this yr besides still being cancer free after my 1 yr c.t.scan is my fatty liver was gone.these video,s helped save my life.ive lost 137 pounds in 2 yrs.
Do you think fatty liver can't fight cancer? Can lask what kind of cancer you had and the foods you had and things you did?
How
Can I reverse my fatty liver?
This doctor needs to be cloned and put into every medical school to re-educate doctors with correct information about health. He is brilliant, and a gem of a person to anyone with common sense about how to improve their health in a sustained way. I just love learning from his simple to understand videos. I respect this man immensely. 🙏🙏🙏
The problem with your idea is medicine is a business. Doctors like Sten RUIN their business, and that is why they are not HAPPY when your labs convert and you get healthy. THEY CAN’T make money off of you. That’s why we still have cancer, it’s a billion dollar industry. Think about it
Agree 💯. It's really a crime the ignorance, misguidance and/or disinformation that persists in the medical community to this day. I'm so thankful to Dr Ekberg and the other few brave souls who are (freely !!) sharing the knowledge ❤❤❤❤
Hi from Neuquén, Argentinian Patagonia. I'm waiting for my lab results because I was diagnosed fatty liver. Since I don't fully trust doctors who work for the public system, I've decided to search trustful information like yours. Two decades ago I was diagnosed with diabetes, but it took me 3 months to heal myself by changing my eating habits. This time I'll do the same. Thank you so much!
My cousin used to live there. Keep up the hard work. I am on the same boat
Dr Ekberg, i hope you will read my message. I’m a geneticist (Phd) and i have started seeing your videos few months ago. everything you said is in agreement with the research i have red on the topic. i am on keto for the last 1,5 month and i’m down 10 Kg. i have another 10 to lose. i just wanted to thank you for spreading good and true advices . you are a good human being.
Why have people outside the US abandoned the use of decimal points, as in 1,5 as you showed vs 1.5 as it used to be shown?
Dr Ekberg, you're absolutely right, I watch this video from the the beginning to the last second. Thank you very much for your passion.
I've been sick for 2 weeks now due to NAFLD. My doctor said tthe same, eat small portions but 3 to 4 times a day of low carb, low fat. Now, I'm so sick. My gallbladder was taken out 15 years ago. I'm Really hoping this video will help me. Thank you 🙏
NO GRAINS
NO FRUITS
NO POTATOES
NO ADDED SUGARS
NO SEED OILS
IT WILL TAKE ABOUT 2 months !
Works for me !
Down 23 Kg
No more NAFLD
NO MORE SINUS ISSUES
NO more ARTHRITIS!
FAR FEWER GI issues
Far better physical endurance too!
I cut out all sugars, all prepackaged foods and all fast food, it helped every problem I have, my pain got near to nothing, I hope your food intake will change some things for you. I stage 4 fatty liver cirrhosis as well, I’m fatigued near every day, I use to be quite active, but not so much now.
I went for a CT scan for a chronic pain in my side. No doctor has found the reason for my pain but I did find out I have mild fatty liver…no one has discussed it. Doctors were upset I stopped taking my blood pressure and cholesterol meds. Glad I found keto on UA-cam. Hopefully I’ll reverse my fatty liver and plug on trying to figure out why my side hurts.
Look up ACNES.. nerve entrapment
If the pain is on the right side toward the bottom of the rib-cage it is probably the liver (which will be swollen - it swells during fatty liver). Glad you found Keto and Dr Sten
Dr. Sten is a life saver!
Morning precious man. Sending all my love ♥️♥️💋💋
Watching Dr. Ekberg’s videos for 27 minutes doesn’t feel that long - it’s packed dense with information. Nothing boring. Thanks Dr. Ekberg..❤
I agree. I don't have any issues with the longer videos. I actually enjoy them and the explanations while I'm doing household stuff around the house..
Although everything you say I've heard before (and elswhere), I always watch all of the videos(start to finish), to constantly improve and remind myself of the importand factors you mention. It's important to check others as well, to get affirmation of these points. Your presentations are very well done.
Talking about attention span, I actually started taking notes to properly remember all the information you give and hopefully convince my family to change their feeding habits, since my improvements in health and my weight loss aren't enough for them, quite frustrating. But you're amazing, completely changed my life for the better.
Every time I watch a video I learn so much. Thank you Doctor Ekberg.
As a type 1 diabetic this is helping me thank you
Doctor told me to stop eating Gravy, Fried Food, and Spicy food. She was only 2/3 right, as my hot sauce has 1 Gram of carbs per serving and life without seasonings would be death for me.
Most doctors in my area are associated with hospitals that require them to follow specific policies and procedures dictating course of action, prescription drug regimen, and surgical procedures. They are not free to say what they believe. It is ill advised to blindly trust medical guidance.
My doctor totally confused me. Bloods showed normal but my scan showed 30% fatty liver. So I am on my own. Cut the carbs and all sugars 7 months later. 40lbs down and my liver is back to normal. My doctor never said a word.
Your Dr probably didn’t even remember. Mine doesn’t.
Guten Morgen, wie haben Sie das genu gemacht?...
Because he lost a Customer
Doctors don't make any money if you get well.
lol very true, neither does the drug companies.
And doctor's compensation is tied to the quantity of prescriptions they write and the drugs they prescribe. So the system is rigged to keep patients on drugs.
@@goodcitizen1611 absolutely the truth
Yes follow the money , doctors get kickbacks on prescriptions they write
💯💯💯
I can listen to this man all day. What he tells is so logical and has been working for me.
YOU ARE AMAZING!!! I have found out so much truth from you. I am learning so much, I am reversing things and losing weight instead of continuing to gain. Thank you for your time and energy to do these videos for people. Thank you for helping to save lives through this information. ♥️
Thank you so much for this video! Your advice has helped me with many health issues! I intermittently fast on an 18/6. Cut out the sugar and processed foods , I've lost 20 lb and I am never hungry. I no longer need heartburn medication I wake up less frequently at night and my mind is much clearer!
Love the keto lifestyle! Thank you Dr. Ekberg for your videos which got me started!
Děkuji z vaší práci, videa, znalosti a skvelou praci.S nadšením sleduji a jsem vděčná, za obcasne překlady do češtiny.Zdravim z Prahy !!!!😢
Thanks to Keto and fasting I am feeling like a brand new person
I know that feeling
It is a beautiful thing isn’t it. I’m 6 years in now so it’s absolutely sustainable.
@@saltrock9642Cap'n you do protein instead keto
How many meals a day? 2 meals?
Congratulations! I started as Keto and now do Carnivore. Best decision mentally with no cravings and good weight loss.
Thank you for these long detailed videos, I loved every minute of every video. It is now 2 years and 3 months since I started listening to the correct info and I am 80 lbs lighter and never going back.
Another Great educational video, as usual. I am glued to the video to the end no matter how long it lasts because I have learned so much over the years from you.
My doctor told me not to worry about it because most people have fatty liver. 😮
И что теперь Вам не нужно лечить печень? Это прямая дорога к циррозу печени
Thanks Doc. Im up already ( today) and its a perfect timing
Thank Doc. For sharing this excellent information God bless you ❤
Crazy how many comments are here in just a few hours ! that shows how good his videos are and how truthful and needed The info is for our society. I’ve also benefited from the advice of low-carb intermittent fasting and reversed, not only non-alcoholic fatty liver, but alcoholic fatty liver but of course i quit deinking as well
"...BUT YOU WON'T..." Why would a doctor assume the worst? I'm glad my doctor is at least tolerant. Gotta be watchful of our sick-care system...vigilantly.
@kraka2oanIner I feel for the doc who says that, though. People won't change their eating habits just because a doctor tells them to. If hearing what one SHOULD do actually made most people do better, we'd all be living in a utopia. No debt no alcoholism no shootings. Doctors who DO know better get tired of talking to brick walls. They're dealing with folks who'd NEVER watch this video.
Excellent information!
Each time
This has to be the best and most well presented video I've seen. Great info... Thank you.
Thank you for this hugely informative and very useful video. Dr Ekberg! I am following you for many years and learned a lot about my body. You are such an inspiration for millions of people around the world. Please disregard the trends about viewing habits of other people and please do not stop the long videos, explaining about how our body really works. I learned a lot from you in the last four years and utilised my knowledge to improve my life and health. My positive results inspired other people in my community so the effect of your work goes beyond of your followers. Thank you!
I enjoy your videos because although they are very very in-depth, you present the information in a way that I can understand. Thank you for your good work:)
Great advice, I do this advice and it fixed my health in my mid 50s. I remember when my doctor told me the same thing. I found my why when they wanted to cut out my gallbladder thank goodness they didn’t.
Thanks!
So true. My “salad dressing” is Apple cider vinegar & Exrta Virgin olive oil!! Nothing else!!!
How much ACV to how much oil?
Funny/ironic; that used to be the standard staple. Old sterling silver oil and vinegar cruet sets for dining go back hundreds of years!!!!
Endless gratitude to your work and even bigger admiration to your patience. I watch all videos and share with friends and colleagues. One colleagues who I forced to watch your videos in full, who was determined to loose weight. He achieved phenomenal results, looks 10 years younger, has healthy weight, training well, etc. I only wish videos were available with other languages subtitles, russian in particular. I wish I could pass this info to my family. Thank you Dr Ekberg. Please keep educating us 🙏
Thank You @AK-uy2et. I am now dubbing the original English audio track into multiple languages so I can get the message of health out to more people around the world.
Depending on what region you are in when you click the video, and based on what your default language settings are, UA-cam will automatically serve it out to you in that language.
To choose your preferred language for a given video, simply go to the bottom right of the screen, (or maybe top right on mobile), and click on the gear icon (Settings). Then click on "Audio track" and select the language of your choice.
I am diligently working to translate and upload more videos in more languages every day, but it will still take some time to get most or all of the videos translated. Thank you for watching and feel free to share this feature if you know people who prefer another language.
I really appreciate your guidance. You are very good at explaining and guiding. I have lost 50 pounds in the last 6 months because of your guidance and I really appreciate you.
Esten. Thanks so much for your videos!! As a self-managing diabetic with PCOS. I have tried different medicines and I just can’t tolerate them. Having to do it on my own. With diet and intermittent fasting I’ve brought down A1C from 7.8 to a 6.0 in less than 3 months. I do get bored of food as a picky eater to begin with but the better educated we are in the matter, the better equipped we are to make better choices and read labels that hide things and market themselves in a misleading manner. Thanks again. I’ve learned so much from you! 🎉❤
Dziękuję Panu brdzo dr Ekberg za tak
wspaniałe rady zdrowotne dla utrzymania zdrowego organizmu.
Ja nie mam problemów ze stłuszczona wątroba ale uważam że wiedza jak zapobiec stłuszczeniu wątroby wpływa bardzo pozytywnie na wiele innych narządów w naszym organizmie .
Dziękuję i serdecznie pozdrawiam.
Many thanks Dr. Ekberg your videos are saving lives. Please make a video on smoking. We know plenty about the negative health effects. Not many realistic advice out there on how we can actually quit.
It’s about time we ask, who promoted these ideas and who benefited?
I am totally hooked on your videos now, and have changed the way I and my husband eat - I was always pleased with the food we ate, I cooked most things from scratch and avoided processed foods apart from the odd treat. However, I used the low fat method, avoiding anything with fat as I read that it was bad for us, also thought that anything with artificial sweetener was good for us. My husband's BP went through the roof recently, and he has had a NAFD for a while now, along with having his gall bladder out a few months ago. Since following your advice he is feeling much better, his BP is going down, and I no longer crave chocolate or sweet food. We have a light lunch and an evening meal of lean meat and salad, we do not want breakfast and are generally not hungry, but feel great. Thanks for your videos, don't stop making them!!!
Great information! Been watching this channel for years. In 2019 lost over 100lbs with your advice and kept it off. I run 3 times a week and go to the gym and I also eat once a day mainly meat and veggies
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ thank you! For a great video. I recommend your channel to "my" patients in the er. We see fatty liver on almost everybody on their CT scan. Heart breaking to see in children. But your channel gives hope to others and myself.❤❤❤❤❤ It's the sugar. Fructose. And insulin... The storage hormone and growth hormone.... And ultra processed foods and alcohol.
Ogromny szacunek dla Pana doktora cudowny człowiek i wspaniały lekarz zdrowia szczęścia życzę pozdrawiam serdecznie z Polski 🇵🇱❤️🇵🇱❤️🇵🇱❤️🇵🇱👍

My last Dr. told me that everyone should be taking a Statin no matter what the blood test shows. I never went back. He was just a pill pusher. Many are like that.
I had a statin prescribed to me after a hospital stay in which no definitive cause for my symptoms could be identified. I refused it because I'd worked on a study that was stopped due to the adverse events people were experiencing in the course of the study. The problems people had weren't unique to that particular manufacturer's drug; they were the same ones you see quickly featured at the bottom of your television screen during a commercial and that you've heard about or found if you've looked up side effects of statins. No thanks, I'll pass on that one.
