I can't wait for the world to move on past "left versus right" so that we can focus on real problems like this.
Obesity is a left vs right issue. I don't know how it got there but it is.
@@philipbauer9200 Really weird isn't it.
To lift weights is right wing.
Evil vs good will always be a thing
@@philipbauer9200Which side is which?
Over the last 15 years or so I have cut out sauces and gravies, fast foods and "instant" foods. My palate has grown simple, to the point where I actually don't like even salad dressings - other than olive oil and balsamic vinegar. You can chase me with sugary deserts or "treats". I have finally managed to drop bread. I very seldom eat out and most times I choose to cook from scratch, don't do frying, only steaming, poaching or grilling. This discussion has been eye-opening and has justified my simple foods choice. I'm 70 and not on any medication. I am blessed!
What a great read. Thanks for sharing. ❤
I’m in my 50s & agree! Simplifying food has saved $$ on groceries. Used to dine out weekly (client dinners, etc), no longer!
Eating out today begins with the question: Do I want to subject my body to this?
Along with blessed, you are also, willpower strong! Good on you, setting a proper example for everyone you encounter! ❤
I’m on a daily intermittent fasting at age 72 almost 73 very much enjoy a meat, eggs,and dairy- based diet some vegetables; very little in the carbohydrate range and I am improving. No artificial sweeteners, butter, not margarine. My only prescription is Latanaprost drops because I have the beginning of glaucoma . Beets helped me defeat high blood pressure naturally. Onward and upward!
Autoimmune diseases, arthritis, diabetes and certain types of dementia are adverse side of effects of vaccines and certain medicines (as noted in pub med). Working In dentistry I love to spend hours talking to the 100 year olds. One amazing lady who just turned a 100 years old this month, grew up on her parents cattle ranch and is a retired teacher. She has consumed a lot of fresh red meat, eggs (made in a variety dishes) and homemade fruit pies over her life time. One day she brought me a homemade berry pie to thank me for walking her out to her SUV which she drives by herself to the dentist office. She wears a fit band daily and walks with friends from her neighborhood and church. This lady does not suffer from any chronic disease, doesn't need daily medicine and still has a crystal clear short and long term memory. There is so much to learn from these 100 year olds who still have their memories.
ok.. where is this.. I want to meet her
@@bradschmitt1990 She was born in June 1924 and lives in Huntington Beach, CA
It’s nice that you can eat pie and live til 100
@@jeanguillaume4589 Classic survival bias. Discounting all of the members of a large group that die from a behavior. Pointing at the the small number of individuals left at the end and saying that said behavior resulted in longevity. In reality, those survivors lived in SPITE of unhealthy behavior, not BECAUSE of that behavior.
@@toddtheisen8386 I choose pie because I don’t want to die
“I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become.”
― Carl Gustav Jung
Words of the UNWISE.
There is not much to choose when we're ignorant in a corrupt and misguided society
No, it's often true and perhaps most often.
Then again, there are the less fortunate, less gifted and the unlucky.
I have had diseases since childhood after getting vaccinated in the military. I have had no choice for 50 years and there is no food cure for type 1 diabetes. And now I have other auto immune diseases for 30 years. I was poisoned by the Healthcare system.
Wow best thing I've heard in years, thanks for sharing
I cut out most carbs and sugars 2 years ago purely to lose weight and stuck to meats, fats and leafy vegetables. I'm also on a 16/8 intermittent fast. None of it takes any effort. I was 66 at the time. I quickly lost weight. I was always reasonably fit, but I was carrying too much timber. My fitness obviously improved, but what pleasantly shocked me was how my temperment and brain function changed for the better. It's as I've been possessed by a much nicer person.
That’s such good news,to be possessed by a much nicer person, got to try it!!
There are biological reasons for being "hangry". I just heard an interview with Dr Berry and the author of Dark Calories, a reference to seed oils and what they do to adipose tissues. I consider myself quite well-read on most health issues but this was enlightening.
How dare anyone bypass the medical industrial complex and their symptom treatment. Don't you know that these doctors went to school for 8 years or more and know our bodies better than we do? If enough people start to realize how little we need doctors, there could be a real threat to them being able to afford their vacation homes and nannies.
Same 😂
@@liverpoolpictorial Careful, green leafy vegetables likely contain oxalates, which strip minerals from your body. Spinach, in particular, is terrible.
“It’s not controversial it’s just anti-propagandistic” Love it!
My favorite quote which comes from Dr. Robert Lustig.
“ Any food that is linked to a television commercial should not be consumed.” When you feel confused over what to eat just recite this quote. It works for me!
@@jcszot Lustig talks some sense, but he also talks a lot of rubbish about other stuff. I choose to ignore him, just to be safe.
Dr. Lustig is the best authority to listen to.

I was recently diagnosed with Endometriosis. The OBGYN said "surgery or birth control pills" was my only option. I asked what about diet, herbs, exercise? She said "no, those won't help your pain." Left her office and will never return. Going to try gluten free to see if that helps. Wish me luck.
Look into dr Mindy pelz. Fasting is a god send
Go carnivore❤
I had surgery in 2010 for an endometrial cyst the size of a tennis ball, then 6 months of Lupron, 8 months of the pill. I hated the pill. I did research and found the endometriosis diet. My Dr said okay and I went off the pill. In about 2015 I found that daily dosing of magnesium helped my endo symptoms, too. I recently conceived after many years of managing endo through diet (and with only 1 ovary). It's possible, but Medical Dr's don't know about diet stuff. Do more research. I avoid GMOs and pesticides, dairy and conventional meats (bc of the hormones and gmo feed). I also do Epsom baths in the days leading up to my period to help maximize magnesium in my system. The magnesium helps with the painful periods. You got this.
@@jooboo115 thank you, I will look up that name
@@ninawildr4207 I did carnivore several years ago for a few months. Didn't have endo then but I remember my periods were MUCH LESS painful. I think this is my sign to try that diet again. Thankfully my family are big game hunters. I have 3 freezers full of caribou, moose and bear 👍
This was such an interesting discussion. I'm 80, & so far I don't have any memory problems. One thing I had as a young person, was piano lessons for about 20 years total. I memorized pages of music. I grew up on a farm. My Mom always cooked real food, either grown by my parents or my grandparents. No pesticides, only real food-dairy cows, chickens, gardens, fruit trees, venison. Mom made meals with color, like green veggies. I also believe that staying curious about life, learning something new every day also helps keep the mind working. What do you think about my experiences?
I know another 80 Yr old in a similar situation. He has had a pure carribean diet. Didn't eat much sugary foods until recently. No mental problems, no heart problems, blood pressure is perfect, and his blood sugar is too.
I am jealous. My grandparents (who would now be in their 100s but have passed on) lived similarly to you, but my parents (also both gone) born in the 30s were very unhealthy eaters and i grew up in the seventies on a terrible diet…hot dogs, sugary cereals, no veggies except what came in a can. I tried to reverse the damage in my twenties with Mediterranean diet and now try my best to eat clean keto but sugar is hard to beat. My mother and her father had dementia. I am terrified of dementia, even more than weight issues. This is my primary motivation to eat healthy foods. I do not want to lose my brain health.
Wonderful to hear your story brother thank you for sharing! I quite enjoy the fact that your family made all their own produce and foods. That's an amazing accomplishment and a good example of how to escape the poisonous processed foods of society. Well done to you and your family sir, I hope you all live to well over 100!
I remember in the 1970s the stories of poor old ladies living independently, brains intact, who were living on cat food, because they couldn't afford groceries. They were doing very well, however, living on cat food.
Cat food has supplemental taurine in it, because cats don't synthesize their own, and if deprived of it, they develop heart failure, poor eyesight, and dementia.
Sounds like old age to me. My husband and I take taurine supplements. other sources are raw duck eggs, raw goat's milk and raw meat . (Heat destroys taurine.)
I am now 30 minutes into this. When does it get interesting?
Thank you for educating the public on the Food Pyramid. We need a brave lawyer who will start a Class Action Lawsuit against the Food Authority and the Canadian and American Diabetes Association. It's criminal how they have lied to the vulnerable masses, especially the CHILDREN.
Still the South Park episode on the pyramid is pretty funny. Where cartman points out to turn it upside down!!
Was raised by the lo-fat devout.
Keto/carnivore is the happier/productive diet.
No lawsuit will stop liars. Just ignore them, tell others to ignore them. Use the law and political force to stop them trying to ban your choices.
Watch Viva and Barnes. The judge will claim there is no standing and stop a trial before it gets going.

Narcissists run the world
The people who expose them are ABUSED
I suffered badly from an aggressive disease of the gut and I did elimination diet and found that a paleo diet was showing me progress, now I am doing amazing, I don’t get fevers and flare ups anywhere like I used to and I have been cusuming high amounts of beef and improved even more these last 5 months and more pasture raised eggs and goats milk. I discovered that inflammatory oils and ultra processed foods were inhibiting my health above all else. I eat no grains. This is the healthiest I have been since my diagnosis. Faith and prayer was a big role and being willing to take the tools God revealed to me over time.
Three months into carnivore and it's been a life changer. Dropped 10 pounds while adding muscle, no crash after lunch, indigestion gone, sleep is better, mood is better, and I don't even want sugar. I've also eliminated alcohol, even though I didn't drink much, along with juices and soft drinks.
I followed you and your daughter Mikhaila, Dr. Peterson, and it's been great. Thank you!
Did It help with IBS?
Same for me. Three months and never felt better.
Is that 100% truthful? Is it possible to not crave sugar anymore?
Yes it is!@danielswinger2986
Life can also be fun.. Then you trip in the stairs and die :(
I still can’t comprehend how Mr Peterson exists in our era. Just image how ppl are going to read his books and watch us lectures In 100 years
Indeed. We are very lucky, by God's grace.
They will read it with discust.
You should read more in general.
Humanity won't last another 100 years
That’s “Dr. Peterson.” Not “Mr. Peterson.” He earned that title.
I came to knowJordan Peterson through the antagonism and debates the university, press, and other woke folks had with Peterson about pronouns.Then Peterson's insight into human psychological thinking really sparked an interest in what he had to share. And since then Peterson has had a wealth of learning to reveal in which this podcast is a fruitful example. Thank you Jordan Peterson for these many things. You take a complex over looked subject like dementia and health and simplify and magnify it with your astute questions and comments. You gently prod knowledgeable guest with your Socratic method of interview to encourage them to share, like Max Lugavere, their enormous well researched investigations and learning. Simply put you life and work Peterson is helping me to better informed and frankly encouraged by being both a fabulous communicator and educator in an age where so much of national media, schools, and universities are failing us with useless information.
I totally agree with you, my experience has been the same😊
Jordan you healed my depression
I get a feeling of disgust when I think of ultra processed food now, which wasn’t always the case. Grateful that I’ve been able to rewire my thinking and it’s all thanks to discussions like this one 🙂
"The only ultra processed food you should eat is red meat (beef), cows go to a lot of bother to make it." JP was rightfully pretty proud of that line! 😂🤣
Someone needs to distill that into a t-shirt one liner.
I always tell people that I'm a vegetarian, but run mine through a cow first. Say it with a straight face and it takes 3-5 seconds before people get it, though some still require an explanation. For them, I recommend liver. 😆
Naturally processed food.. lol
"A lifetime of effort" & *picture of burger*
I LOVE LOVE LOVE LIVER...W ONIONS OF COURSE@@Papadoc1000
Funny variation is about pigs , they convert vegetables into bacon . 🤣🤣
i love how you can tell that Dr Peterson thinks about everything he says before he speaks
That should be the case for everybody...
Have you seen the effects of not doing this??? Some people just love the sound of their own voice.. Dr. JP has an alarming voice,..... it commands one to pay attention!!

Rule 10 of 12: Be precise in your speech.
That's a great way to stifle intuition and the expression of subconscious (connection between) thoughts.
5 years carnivore here and absolutely THRIVING.
Where do I start? Any books, websites, CZcams videos that can help? Many thanks
@@marelisemorley7941 First places to look here on youtube for easy to digest information would be Anthony Chaffee, Ken Berry and Sean Baker. For the hard nutritional science and debunking of mainstream nutritional information you want Bart Kay, just don't pay too much attention to Barts acerbic presentation style, it's just an act to get clicks but his information is legit and he's a good guy irl haha.
My experience as a PhD. researcher is that PhDs are human and don't necessarily look beyond their own noses. They are often unwilling to examine anything that doesn't line up with their own paradigm. That is evidenced in publishing. The old guard also controls the flow of information. If you want/need to get published, you can't challenge the generally accepted belief systems.
Real stories are more trustworthy to beat the bias. Tell the twenty year olds. Many oldies were converted by circumstances that have been covered over by marketing and profits.
Reading "The Structure of Scientific Revolutions" by Thomas Kuhn showed me this and changed my life.
so true.
My experience as well. I am a gifted problem solver, without any formal educational accreditations. In the past, as with today, coming up with a great idea has always been ignored, because I am not part of their circle.
So true!!
Two legends in one room and podcast. Just beautiful.
I'm 63 and in January 2024, I was diagnosed with hypertension, diabetes, and several other things and in one doctor's appointment they added four different medications including metformin. I immediately changed my diet to carnivore/keto and I intend to continue this diet and now my son and his family have joined me. It has amazed me at what is in our food and what the government has allowed and encouraged us to invest!!!
Because they need to create lifelong customers for big pharma, hence, the FDA which shouldn't have anything to do with one another.
Regardless, I am happy for your new journey and your family for joining you!
This is my own interjection here, whether one chooses to read and/or believe scripture, it has solid dietary guidelines, in my opinion. 🙂 🙂
Good luck. It worked for me.
That’s why they want to sin-tax meat and eggs … to keep you sick.
The machine knows what it’s doing. Resist
My family joined me in 2018 on my powerful journey to regain my health and strength on meat and fat after years of eating WFPB style of eating! Meat heals 🎉
a combination of hypertension and diabetes sent me to the emergency room with a right-side ischemic stroke at the age of 59. I was about 10% overweight and generally had a daily carb intake of less than 100 net carbs at the time. But unfortunately that was far from enough. I'm guessing we're on a similar meds regiment. I get my a1c checked every 3 months which is currently in the prediabetic range. Best regarding your improved health.
37 years old. 1 year carnivore. Steak, eggs, salmon, raw and fermented dairy, SOME sauerkraut on ground beef occasionally. Still drinking coffee in the morning.
All gut issues gone. This includes bloating, rash, bleeding, hemorrhoids, constipation. This effect was within the first couple months. I no longer need to use shampoo, deodorant, or tooth paste on a regular basis. This occurred about 6 to 7 months into the diet. I still use them occasionally, but have switched over to more natural type products, like beef tallow soaps or coconut oil for deodorant. I no longer need to use any types of cleaners or face washes.
I never was overweight, but my body composition changed and slightly toned up with very little exercise. When i do exercise i look ripped in a way that was only possible if i worked out 4 days a week before.
Had labs done recently. Insulin sensitivity is perfect, cholesterol mimics that of the LMHR. No Inflammation. No heavy metal toxicity (i drink RO water), testosterone was off the clinic's reference range at 850.
There were some growing pains with the diet. I had carb withdrawal very early on and had what i can only call a liver detox event at about 3 months. I have tried to reintroduce some things and symptoms return. Any grains or ultra processed items bring back the symptoms with a vengeance and it takes weeks to return to a healed or normal state.
My younger brother has had the same experience except he also lost 40 pounds. Carnivore has been an absolute life saver for me.
Amazing! Keep it up!
Absolutely spot on! This is my experience too.....my mind is blown with my health improvements and I can't keep quiet about it 😂 Brill 😊
There are people who have multiple yachts and own islands who should stand trial for their profiting off of the misery of generations of their innocent brothers and sisters. It's just infuriating to see what has and is happening with the drugs and the food, which are all part of this same corrupt system.
@@rotcaka yea, its actually amazing how far off the food has gotten. The web of fraud and greed with pharma and food scientists is quite intricate. Sounds conspiratorial but its not. More and more people are noticing though and rejecting this "food"
@@off-meta-michael EXCELLENT!!! 10/10!!!
I think the next step in the conversation is soil degradation and regenerative agriculture.
As far as dietary psychology: if I eat wheat, I will get anxious. Every. Time. It’s remarkable. I recommend to anyone suffering from protracted anxiety to eliminate wheat, sugar and alcohol - along with the other things ya gotta do: get rid of toxic relationships, eat well, sleep hygiene, regular exercise, meditation and gratitude practice or prayer. But yeah, ditch the wheat and sugar.
It's a miracle for me. The extreme moodiness is gone. It was tethered to the ebb & flow of glycogens from carbs. For someone with a legitimate mental illness (not like those who identify with some randomly ascribed mental health disorder) eliminating carbs from diet is revelatory. I'm never going back. My craving are gone, my body tells me when to eat & how much & my weight is perfectly maintained. I put more effort in flossing than I do worrying about what to eat.
Thank you for these important reminders!
Keto WAS developed to treat epilepsy, so it makes sense. I heard that anecdotally (and I'm sure soon clinically) that strict keto can eliminate schizophrenic delusions/symptoms, which is wild!! Information that the drug companies and powerful elites will surely try and quash.
Keto was developed to treat epilepsy, so it makes sense.
Drug companies and elites will try and block this information. It's criminal. Even CZcams erased my first attempt at posting this reply.
@@pdxnikki1ugggh. flossing. the one and only downside of eating meat all the time is the need to stay close to the floss!!
Ive been carnivore since 2017 and am far healthier in my 60s than in my 20s thru 50s when i was poisones by whole "healthy" plant foods. No meds, no doctors, no pain or suffering.
I’m on day 9 off sugar!! I was addicted to candy and sugar quite intensely and I am going thru withdrawal from it :/ when will I feel better
Good luck. It is a constant battle for me. I go off. I relapse. I go off. I relapse.
Wish you strength on your no sugar diet.❤
Similar for me, I got lots of anxiery without candy.
But I started eating lots of beef in the morning and now I feel much better.
Maybe 2 weeks for sugar cravings to go.
Couple weeks …. Light work. I quit cocaine, you can quit sugar lol
Be strong you can do it. It wont be easy . Just remembrer only for today !!!
Exercise helps
I led a support group for caregivers of dementia patients while my husband had Alzheimers. One common thread I heard over and over was the ravenous appetite for sweets. So much so that patients would pilfer candy at the supermarket while caregivers shopped
I’m a caregiver and the family loves giving my client tons of sweets and carbs. When I’m working with their mom I don’t give her any crap food and she does much better!
😮
Statins are infamous for sugar cravings
True! My mom craved ice cream - huge bowls. Her diet was primarily carbs for many years prior to her diagnosis. I never saw her eat beef or eggs - scared of cholesterol. If only we knew then what we know now.
It's a string clue.
I eat meat and drink water, only
It's that simple
No more arthritis pain
Clear mental acuity
I am at a healthy weight
I'm strong
And I have all the energy I need to play and be active!
People simplify your way of eating and live long and healthy!!
Changing my diet saved me from debilitating back pain, nerve pain, joint pain, muscle pain, digestive issues, raised blood pressure, 20kg over weight. It took around 8 months for all these problems to resolve. I'm completely pain free and never felt and looked healthier.
Since 2020 I've only been eating fatty meats, seafood, eggs and dairy.
Prior to that I was eating the mainstream version of a healthy diet (lots of veggies, fruit, whole grains, low fat, eating the rainbow etc) for decades and watching my health slowly decline.
Dr Anthony Chaffee, Dr Paul Mason, Dr Ken Berry, Dr Shawn Baker, Dr Gary Fettke, Dr Benjamin Bikman, Dr. Malcolm Kendrick, all helped me get my health back.
@@ogeorge6000 Excellent advice George!👍!
Same here! Same issues. I've been eating this strict way since March 2023. I'm a new person!!
This is exactly my issue with the way Max writes off the impact of the carnivore diet. Most people doing this diet and seeing improvements aren't coming from a coca-cola diet and just seeing benefits from not chugging coke, they're coming usually from a paleo, keto, or vegetarian style diet and seeing major benefits when the only significant change in their diet is cutting out plants.
Some people with different Blood Type feel better with no meat - only veggies and fruits. I'm on the other hand better off with meat.
@@nathanbean8763 Sorry Nathan, which 'Max' are you talking about, so I can go look him up! Thanks👍!
Doctor Peterson, i don't think I'll ever do the carnivore diet as I just enjoy the taste of vegetables but it's true - red meat, organ meats, eggs and all animal products are miraculous for human health. I see a clear difference between how I look and feel and other women my age. Often they ask me what's my "secret" haha. When I tell them about eating mainly animal products I'm being immediately dismissed - because saturated fats are bad and veganism is holy grail 😅
Nope.
I eat red meat every day. A 4 ounce steak or a hamburger Patty. Once in a great while I will eat a baked potato with salt and butter. Sausage patties as a treat and change of pace. Never been healthier.
I eat red meat every day. Never been healthier.
And all studies, peer reviewed, say no animals as food. Animals are no food. When did you stop caring? Go back to your cave and stay there, we don't need ignorant people
some of us cant tolerate the oxalates in veggies/ inflammation
Don’t you just love Dr. Peterson-well-dressed, articulate, intelligent, authentic, and the older he gets, the more handsome he becomes 😉😂. Seriously, though, he’s a great speaker, interviewer. Respect for him.
Terrible sounding voice but, yes, a great interviewer
Don’t agree about the handsome part but yes articulate and clear headed. Having many autistic/adhd people in the family including two offsprings, I feel that he completely glosses over neurodivergence but for neurotypicals he always has sound advice.
52:30 "We've gotten to this place where we've ceased to be able to make imerical definitions for anything" "Well that's what happens when you live in a tower of Babel"
I stopped the video and thought about that for thirty minutes. That is spot on.

😊❤
I'm leaning into Dr. P these days, brilliant interviewer - asks the questions on my mind, great guests with solid experience / credentials. ❤🎉
My mom was diagnosed with Parkinson and my dad was 92 and dimentia had a firm gripp by the time he died! I became the primary care giver for 6 years! They both past away a little over a year ago! Because it took a long time to feed my mom I took the opportunity to learn as much as I could on gardening, soil biology, soil health! It unavoidably led me to look into biology and human health! Takes 3 years to bring biology up to par in soil and the same to rebuild emune system in body if you know what you are doing! I did a 5 mushroom blend in green drinks. The improvement was stunning! Mom sorta woke up! It's difficult to get someone to change their diet in there old age without starting a war. All diet stuff is definitely needed before you are diagnosed. I now live in the forest and primarily eat wild food and frome a small garden. I do intermittent fasting on regular times! Changed my personal health!
I wish Dr. Robert lustig would be invited. That conversation would be even more eye opening.
I've learned a lot from him. But it baffles me that he still promotes fiber which only wreaks havoc in our bodies.
I inherited Type 1 diabetes with an onset at age 35. I was fortunate to have a good doctor and after a couple of years I figured it all out, stopped feeling sorry for this intrusion into my life. Most importantly I learned what carbohydrates are, and did NOT have an interest in alcohol which diabetics have big problems. Now at 77 I am healthy and normal weight-and am acutely aware of carbohydrates are. I take my insulin every day and test myself whenever necessary-about 5 times a day. I am so grateful to have this disease without any side effects.
Good for you!!!! Happy to hear that there are people who manage this struggle 🎉
There is no excuse for doctors to be so ignorant. If they didnt act like they know everything it might be slightly tolerable. If they are so "overwhelmed" perhaps we need more of them, and maybe more people need to get into less expensive medical schools.
It is their job to know about health, and they charge a firtune to see us for ten minutes. If WE, in desperation, learn anything on our own, they treat us like we are nuts, usually.
I have been sugar free for 6 years. No added sugar and no artificial sweeteners.
My lifelong addiction to sweets was extremely bad, and the two months of intense withdrawals were absolute hell. But the freedom I have found is so worth it. Never going back.
It's unbelievable how sugar addiction is by far the most common one, yet only a few seem to notice it's a problem.
I want to try and do something similar because of what I have seen from working in food service, it is insane how much sugar and other crap goes into foods.
@@Liliana-qq6ry It's become too normalized. Most people are addicted from childhood, and so they've never experienced life without it. And everyone around them is addicted, too, so the behaviors are seen as especially normal. Not eating sugary foods, especially at social gatherings, is seen as very abnormal. In that context, it makes the addiction much harder to recognize it for what it is.
Thank you Jordan! Belated Happy Father’s Day and Birthday Day. To Max, heartfelt gratitude for being such the perfect son and caregiver to your mother. Your love for her will save many through your book and conferences and your passion to share all you’ve learned. I speak as a mother of 4. You have made your mother proud! Tight hug for you!
Two of the MOST intelligent and eloquent men in the World !!! Bravo Dr Petersen for having Max as your guest on this excellent podcast ! Now bring on Dr Steven Gundry, please ! Thank you for your years of service to humanity.
Dearest Dr. Peterson, I wanted to tell you how much I hope that your week in South America is incredible and memorable. I hope that the environment of South America agrees with you and Tammy and that you both meet wonderful people you will remember forever. I hope you will feel completely surrounded by people who love you and that there will be time for sight seeing and fun, too.
I keep meaning to tell you, Dr. Peterson, my traveling companion, who came with me to see you speak in Boston, had an incredible time seeing you. He says you’re back to the way you were when he first discovered your work and couldn’t get enough of it. He says your Boston lecture was a mix of your Biblical and psychological lectures he loved and he enjoyed it so much.
I will be writing a review of the evening for Wrong Speak but I haven’t got to it yet because my kids are home on summer vacation and driving me crazy wanting to be taken swimming every day.
Thinking of you as you travel and holding you in the Light.
Your faithful and loving
Ruth Anne

Kelloggs and the Canola pushers should lawyer up.
everyone is gmo and hydrogenated fat
Read up about Dr Kellogg, who worked in a sanatorium (insane asylum)… interesting back story. He developed a bland food to stop peoples carnal lusts, particularly masturbation …. He was this 7th Day Aventist puritan.
Interestin thing I learned about Canola/rapeseed oil today: Originally rapeseed oil used in food used to have up to 54% (number taken from wikipedia real quick) of erucic acid, which is a very long chain monounsaturated fatty acid. Erucic acid has been demonized by what seems to me like bogus studies and subsequently a breed of canola, a "food-grade version derived from rapeseed cultivars specifically bred for low erucic acid content" (again quote taken from wikipedia real quick) has been embraced by the industry.
Rapeseed oil might actually have been fit for human consumption before it got ruined, because now of course the polyunsaturated fat content of it is even higher due to the dramatic reduction of erucic acid.
This same fatty acid exists in mustard oil as well and guess what? It's banned (for food use) in the US and EU.
nope, they already did. Best we get are useless disclaimer warnings in fine print.
@@JDAfricaWow
Max is a phenomenal source of nutritional information and he is level headed. He is someone I trust and I appreciate his research . You chose a top notch guest…
Jordan, I love your long format content and interviews and this one in particular!
However, it would be great to let your guests finish their thoughts and let THEM talk more. It’s sometimes hard to follow when you lead them off into new directions after they start an enumeration of three points but only get halfway through the first before you jump in :-)
I totally concur. Please try to let the guests finish their ideas. 👍
Agree! I was about to write the same thing!
At 14, I was fit, healthy, played tennis, football, jogged, bicycled, skateboarded, swam in the ocean. There wasn't much I wasn't doing outside as a teenager and doing those things was my transportation, my exercise and I did them regularly because I truly enjoyed doing them. Because of these physical activities I started to get chronic ingrown toenails, and subsequent doses of anti-biotics to kill the infections I would inevitably get.
By the time I was 15, I had gained 50 pounds. All while still doing the same activities. The weight hadn't bothered me physically that much, but the weight kept coming on. By 16, another 50 pounds and my mom was very concerned and took me to see doctors.
Doctors pulled up the food pyramid, made diets based on that with exercise regiments. None of that worked. This calorie in-calorie out formula doesn't work for everyone. Depression had set in by my mid-20s and I had started to drink alcohol to forget about my weight problems. I was still going to the gym and struggling. It just wasn't happening. by my mid-30's I had finally given up.
by my 40's I was 450+ pounds and 6'5. My blood results always made doctors look at them sideways, because I wasn't diabetic. I didn't have a lot of issues yet. And I still struggled to lose weight. It wasn't until 46 that I discovered ketosis dieting and dropped 128 pounds in a year. All I did was diet and walk. I didn't have to hit the gym and lift weights. The weight loss was short lived though, as I began to try and eat normal again. The weight all came back and then some in a few years. Massive depression had set in again.
Then my brother and mother both became ill with glioblastoma and liver cancer respectively. My brother and mother died 25 days apart last year. This furthered my depression, and I began to eat even worse than I had been and gained another 90 pounds. topping me out at 495 at this point. I've been struggling to get back to a keto-style diet, as I know it works and I felt great, and my bloodwork was all on point while doing that diet. No concerns about cholesterol, my kidneys, etc.
I did catch COVID 4 times and had the original strain. I am concerned that COVID caused damage to my heart because I have an enlarged heart now, and I had noticed my energy levels never returned after having COVID the first time. I never got the vaccines. I didn't believe in them, and with all the information and vaccine harm that has happened to people, I'm glad I stuck to my guns and didn't fold to the pressure to get those abysmal vaccines.
It's been over a year since the passing of my brother and mother and I'm trying to get myself back in order. I know what to do but have a hard time doing it. I don't know what the disconnect is. The 46-year-old me was dogged and relentless in doing that for myself. the 52-year-old me just feels broken inside and lacking any motivation. I'm the only one left of my immediate family. It's hard not seeing my mother and brother each day that were encouraging me when I lost the weight the first time.
I just feel lost and very unmotivated to deal with this. And of course, the toll of the weight is beginning to affect my life a lot more than it did in my 40s. The heart issue being the biggest concern. I lost my gallbladder about 7 years ago and decided to lose weight the first time shortly after that. I also have enlarged prostate and I think getting rid of the weight will take care of every health issue I have.
🙏maybe carnivore? I am healing with eating meat only
Hi i just want to say, please don’t give up. Keep going for the those walks and eating as best you can. Tomorrow is a new day.
Eat only meat. ❤❤❤❤Cook bacon to eat as snacks.
Stay strong, that's so tough, have they looked at your thyroid? I feel there is an unaddressed health issue somewhere, I pray doctors find it and you can keep going to make changes to better yourself. I too, am trying to lose weight, I'm 240 lbs female and my husband is no longer attracted to me so I'm trying to get back to 150 which is what I was when we married. I heard a great quote from somewhere, that someone said you choose your hard. Either you can have a hard time working out and dieting or a hard time feeling good having low energy, low self esteem and it really registered with me. Keep up the good work! Praying for you
Kind of sounds like you beed probiotics and fecal transplant, please look into those.
I have a father who has been slipping into dementia for the last five years. I took a trip on behest of my mother to visit them last week as it may be the last time he will recognize me. I wish i lived closer to them but I live two states away. 😢
Moved my dad in 9 months ago, at 84 he's now got dementia. The suddem declines, plateaus, and subsequent declines are tough to watch. Stay strong and be kind to yourself.
Sorry you're going through that, mate. 😢 My grandmother suffered from dementia too. It's crippling to slowly watch as someone fades away... Mourning someone who hasn't died is a surreal feeling. I hope to God one day we'll have a cure, because the current medications only address the symptoms and they don't even do that well. 😔
pray for him i will too
Sorry to hear! Remember, it’s just the cycle of life, the end part is never fun, but it completes the life cycle. My father is starting to slip as well early stages.
He’s got mercury poisoning or a combination of mercury and lead poisoning, absolutely nothing to do with sugar or carbs, overly processed vegetable oils are shit though
One year no sugar and ketogenic eating and I am still amazed how it impacted my life. 100% recommend to try it!
Love Jordan’s enthusiasm and deep personal curiosity for these topics. The number of little sarcastic “oh god forbid” and other hilarious little additions. The number of interruptions and little deviations away from the topic..entertaining! Made this all the more engaging to listen to.
I've been off sugar and flour for almost a month and I feel so much freedom 🎉
I'm at one week!
The first month is amazing. 3 months in is better and people start commenting. 6 months in, even better and your wardrobe finally has to change. I'm 8 months in and while not every day is perfect and I'm not as fast as I was 40 years ago, I'm far more functional than I was even 20 years ago.
@@Papadoc1000 I am at 3 years low sugar and low carbs. Amazing for weight and energy.
Plus my skin has never been better.
Thank you for this wonderful interview. You might want to interview Dr. Matthew Phillips he is a Canadian Neurologist practicing in New Zealand who has been running
clinical trials for Parkinsons, ALS and Alzheimers using the keto diet and fasting. He believes all of these diseases are a result dysregulation of energy in the mitochondria.
You can check out his many interviews on different podcasts.
Check out Dr. Stephen Cunnane’s Alzheimer’s research at Sherbrooke University on using ketones for the brain to use.
Thanknyou Dr. Peterson. I really enjoyed your guest today. It was intreging to listen to his story and interests. I will be getting his Food book at the end of the month.🎈🎈
Yes I agree, joint pain gone, better mood, feel strong , no foggy thinking
Detoxing from Oxalates was painful. I am going to steer away from them from now on.
What a beautiful relationship between Max and his mother. I cried just watching the trailer. I languish over my lack of knowledge at the time when my mother was dying a slow and miserable death from Parkinsonism. My sister (mostly) and I cared for her the last 7 years of her life and during that time all we could do was watch helplessly as the progression of this horrible disease ravaged every function in her body. I completely agree with Max’s opinion of their doctor visits-“diagnose and adios”. I had the same experience. Thanks for sharing and I look forward to seeing your film.
I'm 60 yr old female & just diagnosed with early onset of dementia. I had a CT of my brain. I have atrophy, balance disorder, and something about cerebellar in the back of my head shrinking. My brain is 70 yrs old. I forget many, many things and have been hiding it. Forget days of week, couldn't open new cereal box today, stutter at times, can't focus on a conversation for very long, forget what a Dr says not too long after the appt. I'm a college educated woman. This is scary as all heck.
@@GinaMFlorida Sorry to heat that Gina! You could try getting rid of all sugars or carbs out of your house, & eat only eat meat, eggs, salt & water, & butter. This can only help you, & maybe even reverse your symptoms!
EAT the CARNIVORE DIET!! chs:
Dr Ken Berry vds: Carnviore for beginners, carnviore flu, electrolytes
Dr Chaffee
Dr Shawn Baker Md Podcast
No carb life
Homestead how
Kelly hogan
THIS WORKS to heal the brain. Library will have books on carnviore diet. SERIOUSLY!
take care
Stop boozing too. It's poison in excess.
Stop eating cane sugar and empty carbs.
Make a little notebook with some of those details for your reference and take pictures with your phone to remind you of your activities. Have people who visit write their name in the notebook. It is not going to fix your challenges but will help you communicate with others. You need to stay connected to people. I am sorry you are going through this.
I've had arthirits and brain fog my whole life, and I didn't know or so anything about this illness until i was in my 20's. it's been a long road- but essentially I had narrowed my diet down to High fat and high protein. i was literally living off of Heavy cream, and Chicken Breasts. I felt Great!! for the first time in my life.
I've had all of stomach and nurolgical symptoms disappear over night, Anyway this lead CZcams to prompt me to listen to Mikela 's testimony on the carnivore diet- then when Jordan peterson himself said he's been pure on it for the Past 5 years....I'm like okay- this isn't a fad; it's real.
Please people don't be stupid. Eat your fking veggies and proper amounts of meat. Stay healthy.
Did your brain fog dissapear as well?
Our brain knows what is good for us at any given time and craves for carbohidrat, sugar, salt or oil.
@@OjoRojo40 Bud, trying out a diet that has helped many people with neurological symptoms is not going to kill you. If the symptoms go away, what does that mean? Also, if people have been on such a diet for years, why not try it for a half a year?
@@OjoRojo40 Every Veggie and fruit I eat seems to cause bad indigestion, down to diarrhea. I'm concerned we've been lied to about High fiber diets. well- you need fiber when you eat a bunch of starches. Eating pure meat- it becomes saturated with water look at what gelatin does; the harshest things on your gut are these plants; that's why we HAVE to process them so drastically. we cannot actually digest those things very well.
Thank you for loving and taking care of your mother. God Bless the works of your hands and plans.
I can't thank you enough for your fearlessness, truth telling, support of your family, and overall knowledge.
As someone who's had both acute and chronic health challenges that diet affected greatly for 30 years, I've faced an uphill battle getting the information, health care, recognition and respect that I deserve.
I was very fortunate to find a good doctor in 2009 who has helped me slowly turn things around so I could get my life back.
I like JP’s longer hair frilling out at the sides, he looks like he’s going to become one of the greatest psychologist / speakers of the new age, affecting generations in such positive ways
Doesn't he look like those Greek sculptures of old wise man Like idk if they're Greek but you get the sentiment
like the spirit of those Greek sculptures 😆
Needs the beard back.
He’s not going to become… he already is…
@@leondbleondbdefinitely not.. he’s a handsome man…as you get older just makes you look old.
My grandmother had Alzheimer’s and so did my two uncles. My father is 98 and has the clarity of a twenty year old. When they demonized the egg my father was the only one in our family that ignored the warning about eggs and he continued to have one egg a day. Perhaps that saved him.
❤❤❤
I remember the 80s and the great egg cholesterol hysteria. That was crazy
Think about it, an egg contains everything necessary to create a baby bird and it is about as close as you can get to fresh, closest you can get to the life force. Safe to say they should have any kind of nutrient you need
Eggs and other healthy fats and proteins are so good for you!
@@chipcook5346 And that all came from the Sugar Industry paying $$$ to Harvard doctors in the 50s to make studies that put the blame for heart disease on cholesterol, rather than sugar. One of those doctors became the head of the USDA, later, and embedded this cholesterol lie in the standard American diet, and the food pyramid, which has been further modified to be even worse. Though it might be gone, it is still in the minds and on the websites of 'nutrition' sites across the web. The majority of the US and world still believes those lies from those Harvard doctors, and new Harvard doctors are still telling very harmful lies.
I was quite a health nut in my early years and subscribed to the recommendations of Adele Davis. When she died of cancer, I reexamined my belief. I still believe in eating whole foods, less refined stuff but now I believe that our spiritual and emotional state are major contributors to health. As I Christian I believe Jesus is our healer and assists us in walking in divine health.
I am bipolar and have been carnivore for months. I have gotten off my psych meds and feel 1000x better. My mania is basically gone, and what little remains I can see it for what it is and not even really notice it, if you know how hectic mania can be then you know how big of a deal that is.
This is the most important information anywhere.
Max Lugavere is completely ignoring the role of antinutrients in plants. The reason you might not need as much magnesium on carnivore is that your absorption of nutrients is not being interfered with. The idea that a highly predatory species like humans need to eat kale to be healthy is ridiculous.
Agreed
Yes, highly predatory with our sharp claws and long teeth.
@@JahtotheRod we have large brains that have allowed us to MAKE sharp tools that beat sharp claws and long teeth. We didn't make spears to cut celery.
@@christinaperez254True. Discovering fire and cooking meat made that brain get that large
I think there’s a definite argument for the carnivore diet but I also wonder why we developed the skill of agriculture?
I’ve been off processed food and sugar for a month - my clarity of mind is the best it’s ever been
Congrats
My Momma said suga..is da devil.........
😂
Foosball is for the devil Bobby 😂😂😂
@@Straightarrow7777
You know it!!! Lol!!!😂
My grandmother said you need sugar to think
Will definitely be watching through later. Thanks Jordan!
What's nice about this, is that Max' mum was a health conscious person, but rather than coming to mistrust her judgement and go (as many might); "aww, poor mum was convinced that diet was that important and she got afflicted with one of the worst degenerative diseases anyway", he still felt she was correct, and set about helping amend her method.
And imho, he has done it right...
I've always tried to make my daughter aware of health related issues too... I'm glad she listens, and I know I'd be happy if she took this approach if I got mislead. That's the power of a good parent-child relationship 💛
WONDERFUL interview. Thank you Jordan and Max!
I just find all these talks so fascinating. Whether it's a topic I'm interested in or not, i enjoy learning about them.
Dr. Peterson , you never disappoint with your conversations. This was very enlightening , thank you both for sharing truthful knowledge.
Modified keto/carnivore. Never been happier. Raised by lo-fat devout. Good fats are good. Carbs create cravings. Sugar is addictive.
Yes! I treat sugar as any other highly addictive substance….it really creates havoc in my system! I’ve learned to garden for my animals (the chickens and ducks love it).
@@apboyce I had an urban farm too & loved it! When we moved from 20 acres back to the city, I couldn't keep any quacking or crowing thing,so I harvested all but 3 of my chicken flock along with Stewie the rooster; sold/rehomes my khaki Campbells, Indian Runners & gorgeous black Cayugas. We kept a few buff Orpington, Rhodies & Chicky-poo 2, a black & white Seabright. She set up her nest box in the kitchen. What a character! We added rabbits and Muscovy ducks since they're quackless. They just kinda hiss. But come Thanksgiving, while others had turkey, we had duck with rabbit on the side, and I've never gone back since. Besides, the cutest thing on the face of this planet is and always will be a duckling. 🐥
I thank God i found your doughther Mikhaila on youtube. I have been eating meat salt and water/ fasting for the past 2 years now. To put in remision my epileptic seisures and angiodeama anaphalethic couse by those toxic drugs i was prescribed since 2006😢. I now at 53, i feel much healthier than i was at 23❤. God bless you🙏🙏🙏
Nonsense and needless God comment
A Very Smart man, Interviewing another Smart man ❤ Great interview! Couldn't imagine what he must have went through watching his mom, dealing with this. Your mom is Smiling in Heaven 🙏 ❤
I was addicted to caffeine for half my life large amounts I might add. I recently gave it up almost entirely I still eat chocolate but that’s about it anyway I’ve not experienced withdrawal or any tiredness like I expected. I’ve found that drinking more water, cutting back on processed foods and going outside just getting more sun has dramatic effects on both my mental and physical health.
I seriously do not believe caffeine is the issue. In fact I personally believe it has benefits. 70 and apart from estrogen patches do not require any drugs
@@susanloffhagen7788 caffeine has lots of benefits but it gave me heart palpitations because I was abusing it for half my life. Too much of anything is bad for you. I mentioned I was taking large amounts so no I’m not talking about a soda or two. You wouldn’t believe how much caffeine bodybuilders are on sometimes it’s enough for some people to not sleep for days. Your tolerance goes up and you can handle more and more but pushing your luck is certainly not a good idea.
I'm doing carnivore last month, super good energy state. Love it!!
Only red meat ? Or just meat everyday mixed with vegetables ? U feel great ?
Yep same. Fully agree
@@rodh1585 0,5 kg beef in the morning w bearnaise sauce. Sometimes take a little salad. Sometimes i eat some eggs later in the day if I have been doing hard physical exercise. Drink somewhat much water.
1 year now and yes the last 6 months really have been clean stable energy.
I'm not carnivore but definitely value meat and animal products in my daily diet. Just curious about how or weather carnivore diet affects digestion? Is eating fermented vegetables done by any on the carnivore diet ? Purely asking from curiosity . Thanks 🙂
Dr. Jordan Peterson is a great interviewer; I wish he were more mainstream! Listening to him can help everyone with pretty much everything.
I cried just by watching the trailer of his documentary. What a strong yong man. Much respect for Max and his journey ❤
Spinach is very high in oxalate compounds. I benefitted greatly from eliminating it from my diet.
I definitely don’t tolerate spinach
I had issues with spinach and dark chocolate.
Vegetables are trying to kill you.
Not a joke.
Alll those different bitterness, peppery tastes and even the taste of raw potatoes are ment to discourage you from eating them. That's why children hate veg and we have to keep giving it to them over and over to get them used to it. Now fruits want you to eat them so you will spread their seeds and help produce their next generation, how do they do this by drugging you with sugars and making you an addict.
Its just basic chemistry and biology
❤️🥩❤️🥓❤️🥩❤️
I switched to arugula
This should be on main stream TV for all to see
I’m so glad you’re hosting more people who question the mainstream food narrative. My mom went through a health journey to heal my sister starting in 2006 and she was shocked to discover that everything mainstream medicine/agriculture said was a lie. You should consider having Sally Fallon from the Weston A. Price foundation on your podcast. She’s been fighting the food fight for several decades now.
I feel incredibly sad for him, but also admire him so much for fighting the fight. It's clear that the path he's chosen, to write and create, is a genuine and meaningful choice, which will do far more to help others in the world than a visit to the pharmacist would. Best of luck to him! ❤
Ive done a Keto diet since I was 16. People keep telling me its bad for me and high cholesterol but i feel amazing when im on it. I find in my diet that I cant do things in moderation and prefer to go all or nothing, even changing my language to saying "I CANT have this or I CANT have that" in order to not tempt fate. The problem here is this mindset can lead you to binge eating if and when you do break your diet. I have to fend off many people always trying to give me junk. I think I ate ceasar salads for over a year straight in college and was never sick of it.
When I find myself saying "I CANT have this or that", I correct myself and say "I COULD have this but I DON'T WANT this. I CHOOSE not to have it". When nothing is forbidden and everything is a choice, it helps to break the feast or famine mindset for me. Hope this helps:)
For me, it’s helpful to remind myself “That is not even FOOD. My body does not recognize those ingredients and doesn’t know what to do with them, thus they are not food.”
Same, started when I was 13.
Do what works for you
I say "I don't eat that" to myself and to others. It's my mantra. ❤️🥩❤️
When I was 23 - 25 I was vegan, then I got pregnant and I was craving meat so much that I went back to having hamburgers and steak. We were definitely eating healthy mostly organic and all-natural but still processed . I had trouble losing weight after my second child and decided to go on keto. I lost 60 lbs and it was fantastic. Don't even remember how sugar creeped back into my life but I gained the 60 lb back. It's probably Dunkin' Donuts 😂. Then I tried to go back vegan because it got popular again. I was so sick, I was having so many allergic reactions I think mostly to the latex family. Which is bananas avocados a lot of seeds papaya and so forth. So I decided to go carnivore and I feel amazing! I don't have any trouble with gas bloating bowel movements or anything. I feel younger and happier and a lot less anxious! I might throw in some fruit occasionally or some vitamin supplements. But I'm probably going to stay carnivore for the rest of my life. ❤
Saw a video on you tube comparing a vegan placenta to a carnivore one. Ours looked like beautiful liver, deep red, full of blood and glossy, the vegan one looked like a picture of lungs on a cigarette box, grey blotchy, dull, flaccid and as if it had been decomposing for a fortnight🤮
I think all woman should be shown this video along with an abortion video. Education should encompass so much more.
@@vanessarheadart9708 thank you so much exclamation point I'm going to try to find the video it sounds very fascinating
Same for me. Not the pregnancies or vegan issues, but the same amazing results on five months of no-sugar, no-carb, carnivore.
@@vanessarheadart9708interesting ... More women should eat fish eggs when pregnant too! But doctors will probably scare you away from anything that isn't pasteurized. Fear mongerers
Sam Sulek talking in his car about cutting, bulking, and maintaining opened me up to calorie counting. It's been a life changing revelation!
Keto ore has changed my life and my son’s. He has nf1 and epilepsy. His seizures are now controlled. His behaviour and cognition improved incredibly. I was obese, prediabetic. Now normal weight and not insulin resistance
Went carnivore (along with garlic and onion for flavour)
Hands down best thing I’ve ever done for my health!!!
Was meant to just be a short term experiment.
I’m 42, feel and look better than I ever have.
My 13 year old daughter is in shock and following my lead because of seeing my transformation.
Honestly….. I thought I was already pretty healthy and in shape, but now I realize I just never knew what healthy is supposed to feel like till I went carnivore.
Will never go back!
❤
So health is now a thing of feeling, not data?
@@chris-nj3vg 🤨
What??
I’m simply sharing my personal experience dude. I didn’t get my blood taken or studied in a lab.
Not referencing science at all.
I simply “feel” and “look” better then I ever have in my life.
Take it how ever you wish.
Maybe it’s just placebo effect??
If that makes you feel better about it. 😏
@@taraosborne4559 Sorry for being so blunt, of course your were talking in a different context. Good for you for feeling great.
I still wonder about the long-term health consequences of such an extreme elimination (and often also calorie-deficit/restriction) diet though. Given the current data about the importance of veggies, fruits, and yes, whole grains, nuts and beans for healthspan.
@@chris-nj3vg Fair concern.
I felt the EXACT same way when I first heard about carnivore….. I’m sure I remember rolling my eyes.
Out of curiosity and maybe a mission to prove to myself how stupid it is to eliminate vegetables…. Over a
100 of hours of research later….
I can confidently say I never need to eat a fruit or vegetable again.
There’s nothing in any fruit or vegetable that you can’t get from meat, aaaand it’s much more bioavailable to your body through meat.
If you’re curious, start off with Sally Norton author of toxic superfoods.
She’s a Harvard dietician life long vegetarian.
Dr.chaffe is another excellent source on CZcams,
Watch dr.chaffes interview with sally norton.
Start there.
Also….
look up the word Oxcelate.
Only if you’re truly curious.
@@chris-nj3vg I've been strict carnivore since February of 2020. I get my blood tested approximately every six months or so... and my doctor is impressed with my numbers.
When there is no real, good science with nutrition, we are reduced to anecdotes. As Dr. Peterson said in this interview, when we accumulate so many anecdotes over time, it starts to look like data.
Great work Dr. Peterson.
Thankyou for your reach Dr Peterson
Love Max. So glad he got to talk with Jordan and spread his mission!
Oh Dr. Peterson I am so sorry you were not able to add salmon back in to your diet because it makes you feel terrible. I do wonder if it could be because of environmental toxins the salmon consumed and not the actual food itself that made you sick. Salmon is such a staple in my home, we have it once a week, and I’m sad that you cannot tolerate it.
When you can, I know I am one of many who would love a health update on how you’re feeling. I thought you looked wonderful when I saw you in Boston, really rosy and healthy, and it was so good to get to see you and touch you and know for myself that you’re okay. I wouldn’t be such a mother hen but having seen you so desperately ill I don’t take for granted for a single moment that you’re here with us, and healthy and strong again.
With Ruth Anne’s love
There’s a huge difference between whole grains, fruits and vegetables, and processed cereal, breads and all that.
The Little Empty Boxes trailer shown at the end of this interview captured the experience we had with our mom. We also had access to the best in the NYC area. The fear and frustration Max's mom suffered is something we also witnessed as the disease progressed to the final stages. I will order the film; however, I'm not sure I'll be able to watch it as the trailer alone raised many heartbreaking memories. Despite the disease's cruelty, our family's love and closeness grew stronger in our care and understanding. No doubt the movie will speak to this aspect of the difficult journey.
"If it has an Ad on TV - avoid it!" I love how much amused Joedan was.
Who watches or listens to ads anymore??!?
I am so confused as to why we even legally allow some of these industries and monopolies to even advertise at all. I mean I know the answer 🤑 but it's just so silly to watch them program and shape our culture. Drink beer if you're a working man! Eat sugar cereal cause it's colorful and fun!! Watch people open plastic eggs for hours because you are an idiot. Watch a masked singer instead of reading a book or bettering your station in life. 🤡
I have diabetes and reduced my AIC from 11.9 to 6.2. My neuropathy has gone away. I feel 20 years younger. Lost 100lbs. Diet and intermittent fasting works wonders. NO ULTRA PROCESSED FOOD. No Sugar & Starches.
Congratulations! 🎉
What kind of neuropathy did you have? Pain or numbness? I've never heard of anyone's numbness getting better. I have it in my feet and it's awful.
@@LWilkes both shooting pain & numbness. It's all gone & improving every day. My DR advises you can't stop neuropathy so I asked why have I? He advised we don't know everything. He told me he spent 4 months studying nutrition . That's all!!
@@LWilkes What Neil said and more. I've also studied significantly and finally had to search internationally and then translate research from German to understand the issue. Keep in mind that it takes time to accomplish and if you've completely killed off the nerves, they may not grow back or at least entirely. The protocol that I developed from the research and have shared it with other doctors who are now using it with patients and it has worked 95% recovery for both my wife and I is 300mg of benfotiamine and 300mg of alpha lipoic acid, taken 2x per day. It takes a few months before you notice much but then one day it's like, "I feel better". You have better and worse days but it does work over time. I noticed my max improvement about 14-18 months into it. It takes time to regenerate nerves. The most interesting part is that a nerve that had been cut at my elbow and cutting feeling to my 3 and 4th fingers and that had been that way for 7 years, also regrew in about a year. I just noticed one day that the numbness was gone.
See my answer to Neil. Yes, doctors know very little about nutrition and the system they work in hates nutritional therapy. I just fired my cardiologist when I accomplished in 6 months what his advice hadn't accomplished in 5 years, and then he was angry when I informed him I had stopped taking his statin 8 months earlier and my cholesterol and triglycerides were well into the normal range for the first time in [and 30 pts lower than he said his was 6 months earlier]. At 65, I've had far better results researching my own issues and biohacking than any doctor. I've more or less decided that what I need doctors for is to write orders for tests and prescriptions and maybe offer up a few other options and ideas. Ironically, my personal experience is that I suggest a couple of optional diagnoses and they run a couple of tests and tell me which is correct.
Man, "hyper delicious" is now my favorite technical term.
I thought the exact same thing!! 😂😂😂. The way he said it-
Finished. So very informative. Worth the time.
Jordan, always looking for the new best conversation. Bravo
Quitting grains is the best thing I ever did. They are the ultimate trash foods in my opinion.
SAME
Do you remember Susan Powter, who wrote the "Stop the Insanity" book. She was, popular in the 90's, trying to teach people about how to shop, how to eat healthy and how to live a healthy life? She was clearly ahead of her time. Where is she now? This conversation is just a repeat of her philosophy, but clearly, not enough people listened. Will they listen now????
my mom started developing cognitive issues in her 50s. assisted living was required by 68. full memory care by 70. 😢 she followed the food pyramid religiously in the 90s. pasta was health food. she also was addicted to ice cream. she suffered from depression and was obese by 30. food destroyed her life. it’s NO JOKE.
i’m carnivore now for 75 days and counting. love how my brain works on this way of eating. mood is so stable. lost 10+ lbs. i agree with Dr. Peterson that “none is easier than some”. i wish i would have made the change when i heard him talking about it on Rogan the very first time. i bet i’d weigh 20 pounds less by now. i’m 51 female whose struggled with extra weight since my late 20s. 150-170’s. i really should be closer to 130-140. i’m starting to calorie count to see if 1800 a day will get me in the right zone. you can easily over consume and under consume on carnivore.
Thank you so much for this interview. I’ll continue listening to these other interviews as well as connect with his book and podcast.
