    I just want to tell my own story to motivate others.
    My blood sugar was high. I started a keto diet. Blood sugar dropped quickly but not to normal, It was at a "healthy" level but not low and it rose easily from all kinds of things and in the morning. But now, after almost three years, it is almost always low below 4mmol and the average hba1c is 27. It is low in the morning and when I eat, as a carnivore, for example protein does not raise it anymore.
    My weight is the same as when I was 18 :)
    Be patient. Good things happen when you just keep going.

    13:57 " decreases the pH of the blood and it's called keto acidosis. So ketosis is where your blood sugars are now and you are releasing fat from the fat cells because it's your preferred fuel. Usually monounsaturated and saturated fat is your preferred fuel for your cells that can use fat, little bit of sugar, but mostly fat Randle cycle. But if you got a ton of sugar in your blood vessels unseen by the human body because it can't regulate it and your cells are starving, you're still going to produce ketones and release fat. Now, you got a ton of fat in your blood vessels which reduces the pH. Those ketones plus you've got the sugar so you're getting acidosis dropping pH in your bloodstream which is very toxic to functions like the heart and the Brain .
    You're releasing lactate, which further acidifies the blood, and the only way you're surviving is on ketones, and that occurs in insulin resistance as well. So insulin blockade as well as a deficiency of insulin and the classic place we see it is in the type 1 diabetics where they call it diabetic keto acidosis.
    But if you notice I didn't call it diabetic keto acidosis I just call it keto acidosis and it can be relatively normal glycemic keto acidosis. Your blood sugar can be 110, not very high a little elevated but your cells can be starving cuz you can't produce enough insulin to get it in there even though you're hyperinsulinemic."" I need to watch Dr Cywes say this a few more times. Also check out: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randle_cycle

    Always enjoy these detailed explanations of how we as humans get ourselves into trouble throughout our lifetime, and how the majority of the standard so called "Healthcare system" continues to force their treatments onto us at our peril. Would love to engage with yourself or someone like you to improve my physical and psychological conditions to provide for a more enjoyable remainder of my life. Unfortunately, the other major component of the Healthcare system, insurance, does not recognize and authorize payments that they feel are outside of the standard of care. Being retired and on a fixed income, I don't have the necessary cash flow to afford the multi thousands of dollars for out of pocket initial and follow up testings and visits. If you and other good physicians like yourself could somehow get the insurance side of Healthcare to authorize payments from our insurance platforms, it would give more folks an opportunity to be able to turn their lives around for the better. Appreciate your videos nonetheless and wish you the best going forward.

    Maybe it was easier for me to understand as I'm a physician myself. Completely understood.
    Here is another concept to wrap our heads around. What if there is no Insulin resistance. Still, mitochondria aren't able to convert Pyruvate to ATP efficiently.
    What if the copper that isn't available to trap two O2s to generate two H2O molecules during Oxidative Phosphorylatio?
    What if there is a deficiency of Retinol to load Ceruloplasmin with bioavailable Copper?
    What if there is some Magnesium deficiency and ATPs produced during OP, cannot be utilized properly?
    So all aforementioned factors can also lead to Insulin Resistance.
    It's really complicated.
    Can you please shed some light on these as well?

I introduced a few alkaline carbs into my diet tonight.First intentional carbs in a year. My protein intake has been high which I am not sure if that could have raised my LDL. My glucose levels were fine. I used to live in Florida but now in South Carolina. I would like to get a CAC test but they wont give me a script for one here.

    @sdjohnston67 Před měsícem +1

    This is kind of mind-blowing. It does make a certain biological sense, IF it is true (as seems to be the case), that the human body is not physiologically designed to operate with frequent, high fluctuations of blood glucose up and down. It seems to be designed to operate in a default mode of assuming that blood glucose will simply remain within a relatively stable level, while the lipid system responds to the daily and weekly fluctuations in energy intake from fats and proteins.
    Lipid processing seems to be more suited (designed?) to handle significant changes in energy intake without negative effects. Not true for glucose levels.
    In other words, why would our bodies have developed systems to precisely recognize and handle large blood glucose fluctuations when this situation is not correlated with a normal (i.e. proper) human diet and lifestyle?

    • @ralfschwartz88
      @ralfschwartz88 Před měsícem +1

      This also argues for a very low carbohydrate diet as our evolutionary norm.

I do understand that the body did not evolve with excess glucose to cope with.... so I can understand that there is no master controller- but how does using alcohol factor into this equation - how does the body know that there has just been an infusion of alcohol into the body- which is very toxic - so it switches to alcohol burning?? How within this model does that happen??

      It could take time, but also make sure you’re not eating too much protein at one meal. 70-100 grams of protein in a meal and no activity for hours after, the extra protein can be converted to glucose in the body, and when not used, put into fat storage. But if you are very active, it will use it up.

      Omad leads to lower metabolism over time. I think your TMAD and time restricted feeding window is spot on. I feel people fast too much. Fasting is very very stressful. Try the same feeding window but have a bolus of 25 to 30 grams of protein at a time. Also Daniel Pompa recommends varying fast/feast days. He has a few great videos on this subject. All the best.

    • @overcomer4226
      @overcomer4226 Před 29 dny

      Sorry let me clarify. Same feeding window. 11 am to 6pm. Have 4 meals instead of 2, with 25 to 30 grams of protein per meal. Or figure out your current protein consumption over the 2 meals and divide into 4, making sure to have no more than 30 grams at a sitting.

    Hi Dr. Cywes,I hope you can guide me. My 23-year-old daughter went on a carnivore diet for 1.5 months. She was very excited because her hormonal acne finally started improving. Unfortunately, after the first month, she began experiencing symptoms of low glucose. She had no energy at all, was too weak to even talk, slept all day, and felt awful overall. To raise her sugar levels, she started taking honey and milk. While her energy returned and she feels better, her acne came back with full force also.She desperately wants to follow a pure carnivore diet, but these symptoms are too limiting for her. What would you recommend for her case? Thank you so much. You are the only doctor I trust and respect.

      The body's vibration/voltage drops too much due to the carnivore diet, that's why she's feeling bad. The acne is a detoxification symptom of the body which is suppressed due to the lower vibrational energy that the carnivore diet provides. It's explained in the book "Fat - Chance to heal?".

    Hi Dr Cywes. Because there is no sensor, the common practice of hooking up a dextrose IV when under treatment in the hospital could essentially send youe BG skyrocketing with only your base levels of insulin to clear it? Therefore, wouldn't it be logical to do a quick test for insulin resistance prior to sending dextrose via IV? Could GLP agonists be administered at the same time? I can understand the need for energy, especially for those who are unable to eat, but it would be counterproductive if BG levels spike to potentially damaging levels. .ake you wonder if anyone has been told that they're diabetic at the hospital when previous tests showed little sign of it. In your experience, have you ever seen such a scenario happen?

      I would do a proper enema instead of flushing the bowels with mag citrate. You can lose a lot of electrolytes that way just like when you have diarrhea. Enemas can be very therapeutic for those with long standing constipation. Can also use a colon therapist to do it professionally. Use mag to help overall health but not to flush bowels. JMHO

      I don't know what will work for your husband. I'll tell you my experience, in case it helps... Long-term, I have been taking Mg carbonate mixed with the right amount of citric acid ("Calm" pre-mixed brand or generic), which does not dissolve immediately in cold water, but fizzes energetically and dissolves when adding hot water to cold. Dry/tart but not bad. I settled on a spoonful size that worked well for me you-know-where. I think what's happening is the carbonate reacts with the citric acid and forms Mg citrate or something similar, with carbon dioxide being the fizz gas. 🙂
      I recently tried pre-made Mg citrate and it has NOT worked equally well for me, so far. Doesn't dissolve well, either. I'll experiment some more.
      With the carbonate + citric acid mix, I experimented first with a large dose and lots of extra water, then backed off promptly to keep matters from getting too out-of-hand. My philosophy after my procedure was "too loose is far better than too compact", if you get my drift.
      Best wishes, especially with minimizing the opioids. I tried one of those prescriptions and it floored me so bad, I did not take another. ketorolac/toradol worked very well for me (limited time only allowed) and then I went with ibuprofen, where doc approved an aggressive dose until I no longer needed anything.

      @lowcarbbully Před měsícem

      Because this happened to me …not 140 but in the 120s, I do carnivore with keto macros now. (Lots of self experimentation.)My theory with myself and clients is that if your gut is not fully healed and you go to carnivore and ending up consuming a significant amount of protein, then your fat consumption reduces to a point where you are not in a measurable level of ketosis and body is unable to get all it’s energy from fat. It looks at the fat and protein only as calories and becomes pretty efficient at using those calories to turn into sugar through gluconeogenesis. It uses that sugar for energy. Thus, although you don’t get the rapid spikes like carbs and the fluctuations are more level with a smaller range, you still are in no mans land with your blood sugar and you feel crappy. There is more to it..but that is the short version. And again for all the people ready to give a scientific rebuttal. I really don’t care about the “research”. The application on myself and clients is what speaks to me. It isn’t simple to fix. But is fixable.
      The fact that you were between 90-95 on keto gives me an indication that your gut needed more healing before you went to carnivore. Should be between 75-99 but mostly in the 80s. At those levels, ketone production is efficient and hormones are able heal well. Ketones are the therapeutic energy source. It’s fixable. Go back to keto macros and reduce the protein and increase the fat.

    So the body has no recognition of blood glucose? So how does the insulin response know when to stop pushing blood glucose into fat? If your body has no way of knowing how much glucose needs to be taken out of the bloodstream, how does your insulin response know when to stop? Won't insulin take all the blood glucose out of the bloodstream, because it does not know how much is in the blood?

      Hi Mary, it depends on many factors. I’ve been following a lcHf way of eating since Oct 2019. I’m still struggling but improving overall and have lost weight. All in my favor. I am 61.
      I suggest you that you do serious carb reduction try to stay under 20 a day and break your carb addiction cycle. It will take 2 weeks to get through the cravings. I chose to do meat only. Beef, butter, bacon and eggs. Real butter.
      Then I began adding back another meat for a few days -pork for me- and checked to be sure my bs was not affected. Then added back chicken. Same thing. Then I added a new lower carb vegetable for 3-4 days one at a time to be sure I wasn’t sensitive to any individual vegetable. A friend did this and discovered lettuce made her spike! So even individual vegetables and fresh fruits you may be personally sensitive to. You don’t know until you test them. Best wishes! And keep going you’ll be glad you did!

      You’re welcome. I began doing this trying to follow the Stanton migraine protocol. It’s allowed me to wean off many medications, thank God, and has helped with other physical conditions as well. I cannot recommend it high enough. My husband eventually joined me and both of us work to eat well and have exercise. Doing the vegetable test is part of the migraine protocol (a free group you can join on Facebook) and testing vegetables is highly recommended. There, they actually test blood glucose after a fast to see which vegetable or dairy product spikes blood sugar readings. Many people are amazed at how their individual bodies cannot handle certain plants. Most of us have no idea we react to many of them! We also follow Dr Ken Berry on CZcams and have made great strides with this learning curve these physicians share against mainstream advice. My body has made my young family physician a believer!
