This is basically the terry wahls diet who is a doctor in the States who was diagnosed with MS and couldn't beat it until she started studying diet and created this one.

Pizza bowls w/vegetables like artichoke hearts,spinach, onions & garlic are acceptable or a real homemade cauliflower crust are easy replacements for pizza 🍕
@@user-ev6xm8vo9n i actually make pizza with organic flour and all organic ingredients. I don't have blood sugar issues or issues with grains and dairy. But i have eaten caulipower pizzas before. They are decent.
But that's so many variables. How would they know if only two or three of these things aren't accounting for all the benefit? Seems like they'd have to test every permutation/combination to figure it out.
You did a great job explaining this. Schools can play this on repeat in their cafeterias. Health and gym teacher can share this with their students. Doctors with their patients and play this in their waiting room. Can someone open an eatery serving these items so I can either dine in or drive through. I’ll pay you more than enough to source organic nutrient dense options, wash everything, prepare and serve it to me in nontoxic containers.
Dr. Terry Wahls, who has reversed her MS to a great degree, recommended this diet 14 years ago. The problem, IMHO, is that so many people's guts cannot handle so many of the colorful foods recommended. She has published a number of books if people want a detailed review of how she overcame her disease and her ideas about why she got MS in the first place.
Not really. Once you have a routine/diet/supplement stack figured out for your needs, all it takes is discipline after that to keep consistent with it.

I do appreciate the information, and it is very interesting. As a person who carries around kidney stones in both kidneys, I'd be very afraid to follow this diet though.
Methylation generally is NOT a way to activate genes/transcription factors. Adding methyl groups SILENCES genes in most cases because it makes the DNA more stable/non reactive to RNA polymerase or transcription factors. Conversely, adding acetyl groups to histones is how genes and associated proteins are activated. Inhibiting this essentially makes the region of DNA more densely packed, so inaccessible by RNA polymerase and transcription factors. The more a cell differentiates for example, the more methylation it has because it should only express relatively few genes appropriate for its cellular identity.
I'm read this 5 times, barely understanding. Silencing genes to allow the cell to do it's specific job, that's a good thing, right? Struggling to understand
@LeapOfFaaaith yes when genes are silenced the cell is becoming more specific to do only its designated job if you will. Stem cells on the other hand are not yet specialized to be any given cell such as a muscle cell or liver cell. Stem cells are less methylation and so have the potential to express a grander array of genes which are eventually turned off when the cell becomes more specified. Tumor cells also have less methylation which is bad because then there can be inappropriate activation of genes involved in cell division, hence faster tumor division and growth. Acetylation is essentially the opposite, it acts to promote certain genes that are favorable
@@WorldUHproblumzSTEAKS8ONE I'm confused. Acetylation is the opposite of methylation? Or acetylation is the opposite of tumor cells and tumor cells are the opposite of methylation, so acetylation is the same as methylation?
Hahah. I just ordered it two days ago. Haven’t received it yet. It’s the first product I’ve bought as a listener of this channel. However, I’m sure that I’ve been influenced as far as some of the food I’m eating and vitamins and minerals I supplement with.
3 servings of a 4 oz peice of liver per week is 50 times the Rda for copper. If you keep eating like that you may experience copper toxicity. A short term study like this is dangerous misinformation. Anything in the short term can provide positive results. If you followed this diet for a year you stand a good chance of being anemic, getting diarhea and damaging your kidneys. Copper toxicity is also implicated in neurological and psychiatric disorders. Some people cant handle copper very well. In one year you would eat 600 times more copper than you needed and thats not including copper from other meat and vegetable sources. You would not see any adverse effects in such a short study.
Even wild game like moose, deer etc are starting to show signs of toxic liver and other organs. I'll pass. Not to mention the high Vitamin A which you can overdose one. I'll pass on the liver.
@@Eclipto14 actually, thats a fair point. I do know how they were created. But copper is not the only element of concern with eating excess liver. Theres vitamin A toxicity as well.Every bioëpgist or scienist worth their salt says that liver should be had in moderation. 3 xs week is not moderation and God forbid you have Wisons disease and cannot clear copper from the body. Its rare...1 in 30,000, but it exists. Its higher in those of European descent.
Not for specific copper diseases, but there are other scientists who say that copper deficiency and excess iron is what the problem is for most people. Just heard this the other day. Someone else will probably have a different theory (and a book) tomorrow, who knows? 😊xx
For that reason it's better to eat chicken and other poultry livers more often and calf's or lamb's liver only once in a while. Chicken liver has the same B vitamins and A without the massive dose of copper. Plus, you can eat oysters for zinc and restore some balance.
So eight weeks == a couple of years, how does an extended version of this affect? Do the benefits compound? 8 weeks isn't a lot of time for optimization of the body - tendons take way longer than that to grow, so what else in the body would benefit?
What about oxalates in the beets and leafy greens? I went keto without realising it was low oxalate (I hadn't heard of them back then) and ended up with full body muscle/bone pain which was only eased after re-introducing oxalates and then slowly weaning myself off them. No more oxalates for me.
Some people are very sensitive to oxilates. I friend of my husband is and he actually had very few in his diet. He was given a list and all foods he rarely ate.
@@dawnelder9046I agree..I make beet green shakes every day. Also eat nuts and seeds and have no issues. Limit raw spinach just because they are way up there. I also eat a lot of chia seeds and fiber and probuotic foods.
@@dawnelder9046 They not only cause most kidney stones but go into the bloodstream, soft tissue, bone, cartilage and the brain. Could explain the arthritis that started before I was 40 despite having no family history of it.
Very good point… I started taking care of myself once I retired; before there was just no time. Getting up early, getting ready for work with quick breakfast, eating candy for lunch because there was no time to sit down, coming home late and also eating highly processed foods before showering and falling in bed. 1.5 hours commute (combined) per day. And toxic work environment.
By the way Thomas you are looking your best ever your skin is so clear it seems you are in your optimal weight your skin is glowing And you seem more calm even congratulations
A lot of people are against the "longevity" movement: saying that we all die anyway, etc... As a person suffering from multiple rare genetic conditions, longevity to me means the possibility for a better quality of life. As genetics/epigenetic research progresses, I hope they can help cure or treat certain conditions. Fortunately, this is basically the protocol I've been inherently following for many years. Another great video, thanks!!
And you still could include beans in this if you used low carb ones like soy (tofu, tempeh, unsweetened soy milk) or lupin flour. I have been considering doing keto for a while now, but I wasn't sure if it was healthy for longevity, as certain studies have shown that it can shorten life. But if you keep the saturated fat low using lean meats only and getting lipids from olive oil, nuts, seeds etc... this could negate any of the negative effects associated with keto. Dr. Eathan Weiss, is a cardiologist that does keto, and he eats similar to this, but he uses fish almost exclusively, I don't think he eats any chicken or red meat.
i know everyone is diffrent but keto destroyed my health. I got hormone problems (gyno/hair loss) and was stressed out all the time. i think because i ate mainly carbs in the past and have a high amount of muscle and move a lot. Check for youreself but dont force
I sincerely doubt that the impact is linear like that. It’s likely that at least half of the people in the study would test out older methylation than their chronological age. Far easier to reduce the age of someone who has aged beyond their years due to bad habits than to continue to reduce the age of people who eat healthy, exercise, sleep well, etc
Interesting, but so many specific things have been done it will be hard to know what are the actual causes and what are irrelevant. I'll have to go read the paper, but thanks for the pointer to potentially interesting work.
Been eating all natural from a very young age and have continued the same into my retirement years. Most people think I'm 1/2 my age. Ate very little procesed foods, fried and starchy carbs. Been exercising since highschool and continued into adulthood always concerned about weight gain. Do occasionally have a glass of wine or 1/2 beer. Get 1/2-2 hrs exercise 7 days a week. High plant based and green teas, nuts and seeds. Planning to eat 30% more ground meat and Liver for more collagen production and better overall longevity. Feels young and energetic, always doing some activity and love the outdoors.
I have a 75 yr old young friend who eats sweets all day long n hates all healthy food. She is thin, pretty n a picture of health! Energetic. Me on the other hand, am 15 yrs younger, eat healthy since i was young, but even looking a healthy food, run the risk of putting on weight etc. She has no health issues. I am ok too. Has to be genetics but also where you live. She lives in proximity of clean air mountains n I in a big smog city.
You just have to get used to being relatively fatigued and bored and a bit depressed. I say relatively because it's reletive to people who are eating cheese burgers, cakes and energy drinks all day, then having a few beers every night all just to get their high! We're getting programmed more and more through social media that we should be happy and high all the time and that 'life is for living' or 'you only live once' type of mentality! I'm not saying never treat yourself, but we need to lower our baseline of happiness so it takes less to make us happy.
So many of these videos I end up looking up “food sources of…X” and the same answers always come up: healthy fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and lean meats. Its not hard ppl.
So one main component of the diet… and it’s huge (I know this because I read the book on this diet) are adaptogens. If it would be only nutrient rich diet without the adaptogens, the results would not have been the same. These adaptogens are able to guide the nutrients where they are needed and turn on beneficial genes while turning off non beneficial genes.
few suggestion or what i do: 1.) a smoothy (2-3 servings): 1 orange, just cut off the peel, easy n fast; 1 kiwi, some eat the peel i dont; few spoons blueberry; lil bit water, i filter it and 1-2 spoons psyllium husks; stevia drops to sweeten it - use a blender and you can remove the worst of the unsavory fibers (orange) from the blender cutouts. [warning too much psyllium husks or letting it sit for too long and it thickens] 2.) get an airfryer and look for frozen broccoli and sprouts ofc good quality to my experience the taste can be remarkably different so maybe you need to find out which brand. -sprouts: olive oil and salt while still frozen into 240°C 460°F or max for about 12 min, you want them lil burned outside and tender inside, remove and immediately while hot add pepper 1 spoon balsamic vinegar and 1 spoon raspberry or any other enhanced vinegar, stir so the vinigar evaporate and what you left with is kinda glazed. i hated sprouts now i cant get enough of, but only one brand satisfied me, im a picky eater tho. -broccoli : the sprouts recipe kinda works (180°C 360°F time differs a bit cut-size related), but there are lots of recipe you ll find on YT, many im sure to your liking (search for: broccoli air freyer). for both key is the "burned/crisp outside and tender inside" experience!!! so put in frozen. 3.) salad: ofc some salad; red onions, paprika, sunflowers and pumpkin seeds get dehydrated barberry; optional: chives, parsley, grated carrot,.. dressing is key! dont be afraid of lil bit of sugger here! either use enhanced vinegar and olive oil, or what ever fits your taste, i add in honey-fermented-garlic (super easy done, just put garlic in honey and let it sit for 1-2 weeks). 4.) liver (for those woh dont like the taste): remove some of the tatse by putting it in milk, but not over night or for too long (disolves the vitamins) 1/2 - 1 h is fine. cut in small pieces and remove all parts not easy to cut (where you feel resistance), also the big blood vessels. fine cut onions, garlic and an aple same cuts size as the liver. fry (mid-high heat) onions in ghee/clarified butter till first browning occurs, add gerlic and give it 20-30 sec., shove onions and garlic aside (or remove), add the aple fry for about a min. or less just caramelize one side is enough, shove aside (or remove) and add the liver on max. heat dont stir one side fryed is enough for roasting flavor! about 1 min depends on cut size, now while the liver is partial raw add everything backor mix it up, sprinkle 1 tea spoon flour over while mixing up, add tomato paste or lil bit t.-sauce, deglaze right away with lil bit red wine (nearly all wine should evaporate), add soup/-fond after that or water and instant soup. just as much to have a thick sauce, now add salt, peper and a bit of marjoram or spice to your liking keep it simple tho! [if necessary add ghee at any step] if you made it all the way here a lil bonus ;) my 3 principles: -it needs to be health, or you dont need it! -it needs to be done fast or easy, or you dont do it! -it needs to be tasty, or you dont eat it! (for every day meals)
What tells us that grains and legumes beinig low in this diet had any positive effect? Thre were so many variables, it's impossible to know which ones contributed and which ones didn't or even were detrimental. As a matter of fact, legumes and whole grains both have been associated with increased life expectancy. I would not expect to see positive effect from excluding them.
The problem is I like liverwurst but not raw liver, and it's just impossible to find nitrate-free liverwurst. Nitrates shorten you life according to the Nobel biologist who discovered telomerase.
Unless a specialist has marked you as a hyperresponder at risk of kidney stones, if you're scared of oxalates, you've been duped by social media influencers.
@@Eclipto14i was duped my social media influencers- into buying their bullshit supplements and got myself kidneystones. Urologist said it was either the high doses of Vitamin D or C i was taking. now that im in the kidney stone club, i have to stay clear of oxylates. This is why i dont listen to steroid junkies trying to sell pills and talk about longevity

As genetics/epigenetic research progresses, I hope they can help cure or treat certain conditions. Fortunately, this is basically the protocol I've been inherently following for many years. Another great video, thanks!!
And you still could include beans in this if you used low carb ones like soy (tofu, tempeh, unsweetened soy milk) or lupin flour.
I have been considering doing keto for a while now, but I wasn't sure if it was healthy for longevity, as certain studies have shown that it can shorten life.
But if you keep the saturated fat low using lean meats only and getting lipids from olive oil, nuts, seeds etc... this could negate any of the negative effects associated with keto.
Dr. Eathan Weiss, is a cardiologist that does keto, and he eats similar to this, but he uses fish almost exclusively, I don't think he eats any chicken or red meat.
i know everyone is diffrent but keto destroyed my health. I got hormone problems (gyno/hair loss) and was stressed out all the time. i think because i ate mainly carbs in the past and have a high amount of muscle and move a lot. Check for youreself but dont force
How many calories a day is this protocol? And how do they quantify it reversed aging by 2 years?
Would 16 weeks reverse 4 years?
Benjamin Button diet.
I sincerely doubt that the impact is linear like that. It’s likely that at least half of the people in the study would test out older methylation than their chronological age. Far easier to reduce the age of someone who has aged beyond their years due to bad habits than to continue to reduce the age of people who eat healthy, exercise, sleep well, etc
Interesting, but so many specific things have been done it will be hard to know what are the actual causes and what are irrelevant. I'll have to go read the paper, but thanks for the pointer to potentially interesting work.
"Study Finds THESE Foods Reverse Aging" not really, its just that they changed their lifestyle for better, so their health/epigenetic age got better.
A spreadsheet/graph would be nice that way I don't have to make my own! lol
Man, I've wished I was able to eat liver for years now. Just the smell of cooked liver makes me gag :((
Been eating all natural from a very young age and have continued the same into my retirement years.
Most people think I'm 1/2 my age.
Ate very little procesed foods, fried and starchy carbs.
Been exercising since highschool and continued into adulthood always concerned about weight gain.
Do occasionally have a glass of wine or 1/2 beer.
Get 1/2-2 hrs exercise 7 days a week.
High plant based and green teas, nuts and seeds.
Planning to eat 30% more ground meat and Liver for more collagen production and better overall longevity.
Feels young and energetic, always doing some activity and love the outdoors.
@delauer - good one its not a takeaway from this video 😀 but see is a good product - cheesy placement technique..
That apart good video indeed..
Would it be a disadvantage to eat significantly more eggs than 10 per week? (about 20-30)
Thanks for the great content!
Eggs are always great. Super food.
More like 5 to 10 eggs per day for me.
It is a great video but problem is it is asking for a almost perfect scenario
You can do it gradually if you’re unable to withdraw from all contraband foods at once. Dr Wahls says do what you can when you can.
the study designer has given some interviews on this, pretty interesting stuff
I have a 75 yr old young friend who eats sweets all day long n hates all healthy food. She is thin, pretty n a picture of health! Energetic. Me on the other hand, am 15 yrs younger, eat healthy since i was young, but even looking a healthy food, run the risk of putting on weight etc. She has no health issues. I am ok too. Has to be genetics but also where you live. She lives in proximity of clean air mountains n I in a big smog city.
Downright disgusting, isn't it?! 🤣

Very much appreciate the content you provide. Truly. But could do with out the cheesy thumbnails.
Seems like a lot of variables here. Could it be that the benefits were caused by only one of them. Like exercise or any one of the other variables?
That’s my routine. I already know it but you need to be patient and pay attention to many things
I wonder how the participants felt after the 8 weeks?? Did they feel younger?
Bro, those Seed promos are out of control 🤣. Tom gotta be getting paid BIG MONEY from Seed to push it full throttle every episode lmao
You just have to get used to being relatively fatigued and bored and a bit depressed. I say relatively because it's reletive to people who are eating cheese burgers, cakes and energy drinks all day, then having a few beers every night all just to get their high! We're getting programmed more and more through social media that we should be happy and high all the time and that 'life is for living' or 'you only live once' type of mentality! I'm not saying never treat yourself, but we need to lower our baseline of happiness so it takes less to make us happy.
I like what you said here. Great take.
How about just being content?
So many of these videos I end up looking up “food sources of…X” and the same answers always come up: healthy fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and lean meats. Its not hard ppl.
Did any one made the list to share it? :) p.s I listen this on a work out, so could’ve had notes
Gosh. I have no idea how a person could eat that much in a day! Did they work, or do they just eat all day?
So one main component of the diet… and it’s huge (I know this because I read the book on this diet) are adaptogens. If it would be only nutrient rich diet without the adaptogens, the results would not have been the same. These adaptogens are able to guide the nutrients where they are needed and turn on beneficial genes while turning off non beneficial genes.
Omg! It would take me a freaking MONTH to eat all that! 😳😳😳😳
few suggestion or what i do:
1.) a smoothy (2-3 servings): 1 orange, just cut off the peel, easy n fast; 1 kiwi, some eat the peel i dont; few spoons blueberry; lil bit water, i filter it and 1-2 spoons psyllium husks; stevia drops to sweeten it - use a blender and you can remove the worst of the unsavory fibers (orange) from the blender cutouts.
[warning too much psyllium husks or letting it sit for too long and it thickens]
2.) get an airfryer and look for frozen broccoli and sprouts ofc good quality to my experience the taste can be remarkably different so maybe you need to find out which brand.
-sprouts: olive oil and salt while still frozen into 240°C 460°F or max for about 12 min, you want them lil burned outside and tender inside, remove and immediately while hot add pepper 1 spoon balsamic vinegar and 1 spoon raspberry or any other enhanced vinegar, stir so the vinigar evaporate and what you left with is kinda glazed. i hated sprouts now i cant get enough of, but only one brand satisfied me, im a picky eater tho.
-broccoli : the sprouts recipe kinda works (180°C 360°F time differs a bit cut-size related), but there are lots of recipe you ll find on YT, many im sure to your liking (search for: broccoli air freyer).
for both key is the "burned/crisp outside and tender inside" experience!!! so put in frozen.
3.) salad: ofc some salad; red onions, paprika, sunflowers and pumpkin seeds get dehydrated barberry; optional: chives, parsley, grated carrot,..
dressing is key! dont be afraid of lil bit of sugger here! either use enhanced vinegar and olive oil, or what ever fits your taste, i add in honey-fermented-garlic (super easy done, just put garlic in honey and let it sit for 1-2 weeks).
4.) liver (for those woh dont like the taste): remove some of the tatse by putting it in milk, but not over night or for too long (disolves the vitamins) 1/2 - 1 h is fine. cut in small pieces and remove all parts not easy to cut (where you feel resistance), also the big blood vessels. fine cut onions, garlic and an aple same cuts size as the liver.
fry (mid-high heat) onions in ghee/clarified butter till first browning occurs, add gerlic and give it 20-30 sec., shove onions and garlic aside (or remove), add the aple fry for about a min. or less just caramelize one side is enough, shove aside (or remove) and add the liver on max. heat dont stir one side fryed is enough for roasting flavor! about 1 min depends on cut size, now while the liver is partial raw add everything backor mix it up, sprinkle 1 tea spoon flour over while mixing up, add tomato paste or lil bit t.-sauce, deglaze right away with lil bit red wine (nearly all wine should evaporate), add soup/-fond after that or water and instant soup. just as much to have a thick sauce, now add salt, peper and a bit of marjoram or spice to your liking keep it simple tho! [if necessary add ghee at any step]
if you made it all the way here a lil bonus ;)
my 3 principles:
-it needs to be health, or you dont need it!
-it needs to be done fast or easy, or you dont do it!
-it needs to be tasty, or you dont eat it!
(for every day meals)
I wonder what it was last week?
No dairy??
Hey Thomas. You said in the takeaway that the micronutrient like fiber has the highest impact. I thought fiber was a Macronutrient.
You thought wrong. Just look up on google macro nutrients
How come
lets say someone is healthy/metabolically flexible. Would it be a good approach to eat like saladino? which way would be better urs or his way
What were the suppliments?!?!
The diet & supplements are detailed in Dr. Kara Fitzgerald's Book, Younger You: Reduce Your Bio Age and Live Longer, Better
What tells us that grains and legumes beinig low in this diet had any positive effect? Thre were so many variables, it's impossible to know which ones contributed and which ones didn't or even were detrimental. As a matter of fact, legumes and whole grains both have been associated with increased life expectancy. I would not expect to see positive effect from excluding them.
i think he has good info, but he talk so much before he get to the point i always check out. i wish he would shorten it up.
set the playback speed to a higher setting if you dont have the attention span of an ADULT
I wonder if there was substantial weight loss?
Were they able to occasionally eat junk food ?
This is just a small study. I would say if you wanted to incorporate things from this into your diet, then 100% yes, you should have cheat days.
Replace the meat with grains and legumes to add a year.
Only ppl with personal chefs and/or assistants need apply
Now they should try the same diet with legumes, whole grains and B12 instead of the animal products.
So a good diet. That's what I got from this
Looks like Bart Kay has another hit vid out on you.
The problem is I like liverwurst but not raw liver, and it's just impossible to find nitrate-free liverwurst. Nitrates shorten you life according to the Nobel biologist who discovered telomerase.
It would be great if you got Kara Fitzgerald on your channel for an interview!
Great idea!
These epigenetic clocks are still questionable clinically, especially the older gen 1 and 2 clocks which were used in this study
Lactobacillus plantarum is a main one in sauerkraut. Better than capsules.
Oops.
Sorry.
Beef or lamb liver?
the greens and beets are a hell of a lot of oxalates
Unless a specialist has marked you as a hyperresponder at risk of kidney stones, if you're scared of oxalates, you've been duped by social media influencers.
@@Eclipto14i was duped my social media influencers- into buying their bullshit supplements and got myself kidneystones. Urologist said it was either the high doses of Vitamin D or C i was taking. now that im in the kidney stone club, i have to stay clear of oxylates. This is why i dont listen to steroid junkies trying to sell pills and talk about longevity
Also the seeds are high oxalates.
@@MsSweetlandofliberty almonds especially
@@Eclipto14the most current information is legitimate and goes well beyond "social media influencer."
