Ways to naturally increase nitrous oxide and/or low testosterone?
You are the absolute best!! I’ve been binge watching and learning from you since last week and I’ve followed your advice and I’m finally under 200lbs. I’ve been maintaining it for the past year and couldn’t go under.
You taught me that I was eating wrong and then I followed your instructions and now I’m burning the fat. I appreciate you and Christine from Gauge Girl Training so very much for guiding my new life of health and wellness.
Love your content! Your set looks fantastic as well.......
Haha my living room 😁 Thank you!!
I recently started Keto fasting and I'm making great progress. It was very frustrating never knowing how to eat correctly. And not knowing which fad diet actually works without starving.
I love your content. You mention some key points the other channels don't.
Amazing to hear you are finally on the right track! Fad diets are extremely frustrating and not sustainable. They are setting you up for failure from the start.
This was amazing. Thank you and I think I need to order that SoWell kit you spoke about.
You are doing Great, with the New Format !!! Very Informative & Presentation is Excellent! I am a Senior Male, in my 73rd year,& enjoy all this info on anything T2D, or I/R is music to my ears! I am taking 3, sometimes 4 insulin shots daily, & want to get off Insulin, if I can at all....I was fasting & lost 35 lbs, trying to do Keto Diet. Then I kind of crashed, & gained back a few pounds....SO, I hear maybe I didn't give my body enough time to adjust maybe....So" back on track now" 60% Fat, 20 % Carbs ,20 %, Protein ,& doing good & certainly hoping for a "Better Change of Habits", as I am blessed so far with no other serious Health issues, so want to try to Head off or slow down further issues, ( ie, Kidneys, Pancreas, Dementia, & of course Cardiovascular issue if possible.... Enough already, Hi from Canada, & keep those Great Podcasts coming.... You have Great Presentation Skills!!! Thank Again... Allie...
I like your new format where you don’t have to edit as much. A guest could make it even better every once in a while. Especially to get more comfortable talking with command and confidence.
Glad you like the format! I used to do interviews on my channel 5+ years ago… but I didn’t think I was the best at it. Maybe I’ll give it another go 👀
Thank you for explaining insulin resistance. I've heard the term a lot but didn't quite know how it worked. And the scariest part is that we may not be aware of it for 10 years before the signs show up. Thank you also for the tips on how to combat it, and the encouragement that it can be reversed. I appreciate your shared knowledge!
Well the signs start to show up earlier, but it won’t be until 10+ years that blood sugar goes up. In the meantime all other blood tests can look “normal”. Glad you found this video helpful ❤️❤️
Excellent video, thank you!
🤗🤗
Love this format
🥰🥰
Great video!!! I would love a video on night shift and sleep.
Great video. Very informative and you explain things well, so that they’re easy to understand. I shared with family ❤
🥰🥰
Hi Kait, I really loved your informative video. I also felt very sad because over the past ten years I started putting on weight at an alarming rate. I went to my doctor on several occasions to try and find out why but was often fobbed off with the eat less and move more. I always knew it was something more than this. The final straw was in June 2023 I experienced annoying tingling in my feet so I went to the doctor. Various tests were done and it was at that point I was diagnosed with T2D. I was devastated. To add insult to injury it turned out that in my medical notes it showed that I had an elevated HBA1C 5 years prior and was never told. In fact I wasn’t even familiar with what diabetes was. I ended up learning everything there is to know and went on a very strict keto diet and completely cut out alcohol. I lost 4 stone and reversed T2D. I have reached a plateau which I’m working on but I really wish I had seen your video years ago.
Great video.. thank you
I used to eat really late into the night, a lot of times I'd even eat at 1 or past 1 am. I thought I was just a "night owl" and that's how my body functioned. Now after many warning signs, I realize I'm not a night owl and need to get my act together. I've had skin tags, darkened skin around my neck and armpit (only right armpit), and the big belly has been a part of me since my mid 20's. I used to be able to lose my belly by simply stopping soda and drinking only water, but this last time that I tried to do it, it had no effect on my belly/weight loss. I had to change my diet, exercise daily (walk), and give up the "drinking on the regular" lifestyle. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention: the reason I'm changing my lifestyle is because my eyes started changing color - the sclera is no longer white. Hopefully I can reverse whatever it is that caused all of those symptoms.
Been binge watching you lately 🙏 I’m also a cyclist so I can relate to you on that level! Love to see it!
Thanks for tuning in Oscar 😃 How long have you been cycling for?
I’ve been biking my whole life but got into actually doing gravel races the past 4 years :)
@OscarShulman gravel! You are braver than I am 💪
Enjoyed this more relaxed, spontaneous format, the way your conversation went with the flow of your thoughts. Was very interesting.
❤️❤️
Thanks!
Thank you so much!!
NO, you're the best:)
Stopppp it 🤭
Some great info there Kait. Always has puzzled me why allopathic doctors are ignorant of fasting insulin. Both fasting blood sugar and insulin should be tested together. Enjoying the podcast format. I think most conditions can be cleared by getting off hyper processed foods, added sugar, grains and seed oils.
Night shift/swing shift please
Love it
😃😃
Hello!! I would lalalove to see a video all about sleep!! Your work inspires me to work on myself. I appreciate all you do! Thank you!!
❤️❤️
I don't got time to be worrying about a bunch of numbers and lab reports. If the good Lord wants me he's gonna take me. But I started carnivore two weeks ago, cut out all bread, chips, ice cream, cookies and all junk food and sugar. Eat only meat and eggs. Already feel 10 times better so whatever happens, happens.
Thank you so much for this. I had all the normal markers on bloodwork yet my insulin was 20 😮. It’s now at 11 and I still want to get it lower. 4 cups of veggies a day is key for me.
Would love info how to fine tune it all to get to the next level. ❤
Kudos on getting it down to 11! Sounds like you have a good plan in place. I’ll do a video on being “stuck” soon ❤️
Hello I paused when you start talking about sleeping,
Some nights , may be 1-2 out of the month I sleep real good that I can feel the difference,
I can go and work out and feel the strength, I’m not hungry, I feel strong, light and happy throughout the day
No pain in my arms , my belly fells nice and flat..
And I try to think and remember what did I did the previous day to see if I can repeat it and feel the same way the next day and try to do it over and over
I have to let you know that I’m a midnight snacker so I can go back to sleep!!
I loved this format. I am not a huge fan of the short edited clips, but those are helpful as well. Thanks for the helpful content!!
Shift work and what to eat
Coming soon!
Well Done and Thank You! Yes please do sleep video 😊👍👍
❤️❤️
thanx Kait, so much good info. Luckily, there's a lot of empty space in my head to absorb it 😅😅, I really like when you stress things , some of us do better hearing it over & over!!! Yikes, 3-1, hope you're not like me Kait, I'd be looking for someone to board and be in the penalty box! 😄 They're not allowed to save some of those goals for the next game are they?????
Haha I am tough but manage to avoid the penalty box for the most part 😇
Thanks to UA-cam algorithm. I have started watching your videos. Pls suggest berberine alternative (if there is any) as it doesn't work on many.
Inositol! ❤️
This was a good video. I fall asleep good but no matter what time I go to bed I will wake up 4 hours later.
Can you fall back asleep after?
Is your bedtime consistent? Do you drink alcohol? The latter causes you to wake up 3-4 hours after you fall asleep when the adenosine wears off 👀
When measuring your waist, where exactly do you measure?
Midway between hip bone and bottom of your ribs
The next video should be on foods to avoid to live a healthy life
More carbs = more sugar = more insulin.
That makes things very simple -- stay under 20g total carbs/day.
Eat whatever you want so long as you stay under 20g total carbs
That's a good starting point.
You can clean up what you are eating over time.
What about brown rice sweet potatoes are those ok ?
I'm 60yr old n BP patient I do resistance training 5days a week can I have creatine supplement
I have insulin resistance!
Did you find this podcast helpful?
People mention elevated insulin levels. But no one mentions what is high or the range.
What is considered elevated?
I started seeing a bariatric MD in Nov, but he left in December.
He ordered a fasting insulin and mine was 10.
My FBS and A1c are gradually going up. (FBS 114 and A1c 5.6)
HDL/Triglyceride ratio is 2.5.
I have metabolic syndrome:
HTN (130/70 off meds and 120s/60s to 70s on meds)
Hypercholesterolemia
And elevated FBS and A1c
I’m 70 yo, 5’6” and weigh around 189.
I was doing well with lowering carbs but fell off when I went to see the eclipse and am having a hard time getting back on track.
I guess I’m just wondering why people mention high insulin but do not provide people with the range and a “normal”value.
Thank you for this information.
Anything above 3 signifies some insulin resistance. Above 5 is considered high. Sorry for not including it in the video! I have no doubt you are going to be able to get back on track in no time. Choose one small change to make this week and build off of that ❤️
@@HealthCoachKait great. Thank you for the encouragement 👍🏻
You’ve got this! Don’t try to do a full overhaul all at once. Even starting with small changes - a 10 minute walk after you eat, making sure you get enough protein at breakfast, can make a big difference!
What if your glucose has been high for a long period of time and you are losing weight. What does that mean?
I can’t get 7 hours max is 4 hours
Totally confused. How can I learn more from beginning, simple & organized information.
I also don't sleep well at 73 pee 3-4++ times a night. Am I doomed? Helpless?
What part do you need clarification on? How much sleep do you get every night? It is common to have to pee more during the night as we getting older. The hormones that suppress nighttime urination decrease as we age. You are definitely not doomed! Do what you can to improve your sleep. As I said in the podcast, make sure you give yourself a minimum of 7 hours of time to sleep each night.
my ratio is 2.6 is it bad???
So why do most diets limit protein to 30 grams per day?
What diet does that?! Even the dietary guidelines recognise you need at least double that, but current research suggests much higher. You'd waste away on that little protein 🥲
Hello Kait,i love you my darling
🤗🤗
Some influencers say Eating fat can cause insulin resistance and diabetes just like carbs can ? Say fat goes straight into fat cells and leads to it … this is all making me nervous eating keto ?? So much conflicting info … also hear it’s gonna inc cortisol leading to thyroid problems??
The evidence is pretty clear that low carb improves insulin sensitivity. I have seen this with 100s of clients. Lab results don’t lie 🫶 This new trend to lower cortisol is bananas. We want a cortisol spike in the morning - it energises us. Chronic high cortisol is a concern of course. Thyroid also not a concern. Dr Jaime Seeman has a good video somewhere how even though her patients sometimes see changes in thyroid levels it doesn’t change function and isn’t bad.
Hate Podcast
Noted ☹️
@@HealthCoachKait I like your content by itself without others!! Nothing personal............
@@shadowwarrior7338 appreciate the feedback! I am still going to be uploading my usual two videos per week!
Night shift/swing shift please
Can do!
