    So we've got this thing arse about face. I was retrenched in September and have no money, no job, no way to meet my obligations. My stress is insane. I keep waking up in a panic. I have put on 10 kilos despite the fact that I have not changed my diet The only way to resolve this would be to get a job and pay my bills. How, how do I deal with my stress ? I understand this so much better now. You have this way of clarifying things !

    How do you seem to know what I'm trying to learn. I'm amazed and grateful once again. Nobody can tell me how I acquired a dvt, and you start explaining how the arteries become damaged and clotting cascade. The doctors said it was because I was sitting.Thats all they said. I didn't believe it then and I don't believe it now, but they both said it as if it were some canned response to" how did this happen". You continue to answer the questions I haven't got around to asking yet. Bless you.👏

His science makes sense to me, as well as his anecdotal personal and professional experiential knowledge.

    This video may have finally given me the reason for my 600 cholesterol and in my recent blood work, an increased triglyceride level. I’m considered a LMH and participated in Dave Feldman’s study. My cholesterol has continued to increase over past 3 years while following a fairly strict animal-based diet. I was afraid I’d have to give it up. For now, I’ll add fruit and see if that’s the answer. Thank you!! 21:18

      After a few weeks of the carnivorous diet, my cholesterol reached 486 and I also had an increase in triglycerides.
      Since I wasn't eating any grams of carbs, it seemed strange that I had high TG, but I think it was all due to cortisol.

      I think I may also have a cortisol issue after watching this video and reading your comment. My cholesterol recently hit 590, TGs up to 88. I saw in another video from Dr Cywes that he eats avocados and olives. Not sure that would help me, too, but have added those into my carnivore woe in the last few days. Not sure about addding back in fruit, like berries. Afraid it would trigger my sweet cravings.

    My stress levels go horribly when I’m driving long trips especially in heavy traffic. Yesterday my BG went for 90’s to 250 while driving on I-5 for 5 hr. Had to give insulin boluses twice during the trip. I’ve never figured out how to reduce that stress response. I do stop bout q 2 hr to walk around a try to relax. Any suggestions? I usually fast before and during my travels so not to bring up my BGs. I didn’t usually have issues working ICU and that stress but did when I did home nursing and drove in SF Bay Area when driving 50 - 100 miles a day.

    Both cortisol and glucagon increase BG especially in the morning dawn effect. In your last video you seemed to claim that cortisol and glucagon reduce blood glucose? That is incorrect if thats what was meant. It is the exact opposite. If you are suffering from a "hyper dawn effect" (yes its about time we named this condition properly) then you are IR or chronically IR or even "hyper" IR. This means that the cells in the liver itself are IR because they are locked and not absorbing glucose, as too are the fat and muscle cells. You have fatty liver and fatty pancreas without a doubt if you are T2D. In this case you are stuck with way too much morning blood glucose that can last much of the day. Your liver does not know you already have ample blood glucose so when your alpha cells from the pancreas secrete the glucagon hormone it signals your liver to blindly pump out more glucose via gluconeogenesis even though its the last thing you need. Because the cells in the liver have become IR the liver cannot see the excess blood glucose. In the end there is only one solution for T2D. Get rid of fatty liver and fatty pancreas and learn all about your "Personal Fat Threshold"!

      You should watch Dr. Sean Omara’s videos. After 6,000 MRI’s regarding visceral fat he found that the people who had the least visceral fat were carnivores who sprinted. Sprinting reduces visceral fat because it simulates the flight response. Your liver dumps all your glycogen into your blood stream in seconds and it empties your liver of its sugar reserves like fasting does. But it does it in seconds and not in 12 plus hours. So in no time your body has to start burning fat and then it burns visceral fat first.

    Severe carb limits can cause your body to break down fat into ketones for energy. This is called ketosis. Ketosis can cause side effects such as bad breath, headache, fatigue and weakness.
    It's not clear what kind of possible long-term health risks a low-carb diet may pose. If you limit carbs in the long term, it may cause you to have too little of some vitamins or minerals and to have digestive issues.
    Some health experts think that if you eat large amounts of fat and protein from animal sources, your risk of heart disease or certain cancers may go up.
    If you opt to follow a low-carb diet, think about the fats and proteins you choose. Limit foods with saturated and trans fats, such as meat and high-fat dairy products. These foods may make your risk for heart disease go up.
