Amazing. first time I did them with you, and I got winded. But felt good. I know this is the best because your doing it, and I read your book. Fantastic stuff Dr Joe!!
Thank you for this. I am going through menopause and my BP is as crazy as it comes,I am on medication. I began doing these exercises. This is my first week ,will see how the results go.
I’m so grateful for DrEthabu RU-vid channel for curing me of diabetes, after years of struggle, my blood sugar improved and my energy returned. I highly recommend him for anyone seeking effective herbal solutions!
Thankyou doctor Joe, for this. However, I would like to ask whether there is any article on tinutus or sinus. I would be grateful to hear from you on how to treat sinus or tinutus without medications but with herbal or natural treatments only. Thank you!
Thank you Dr. Joe, do we need to eat all the foods you prescribed for lowering cholesterol? I'm familiar with only Okra and I eat as soup very often. Thank you.
It's difficult to give you advice when I don't have a full picture. Log every food you eat for about 3 weeks and you'll see where you are going wrong just by looking at it and analysing it
I watched a news report based in Canada stating this. It was three people who died from liver damage. One was saved due to an emergency liver transplant. We look for quick fixes sometimes. This reminds me of the fenugreek and tumeric fad. Too much of something can be harmful.
There is nothing wrong with some of these supplements/herbs inclusive of turmeric and fenugreek. I still drink Green tea. It's how you use them that makes the difference. The dose makes the poison. That's essentially what this video is about
Hello Dr Joe, I understand that it is excess fat in the liver and muscle cells that causes insulin resistance, which leads to prediabetes/diabetes. So clearing the fat from the cells is crucial to reverse the condition. My question is: in addition to reducing dietry fat and fasting, would cutting back on the carbs speed up the reversal since excess sugars from carbs are stored as fat? That way we are burning the existing fat in the cells, and reducing significantly the amount of fat consumed, from fatty foods and excess carbs. Many thanks for sharing your knowledge with us and helping so many people.
Yes, but you have to eat something along with the non-starchy veggies. hence you cannot completely get rid of the carbs even though I get your logic. That's the reason I suggest folks to have legumes - beans, peas and lentils as your leading carbs before the starchy carbs come in later as we get more insulin sensitive. Legumes have protein along with the carbs in them and plenty of fiber too thereby reducing the net carbs you eat
@drjoetvMD Thank you so much for a quick reply. I am here binge watching your videos and I am going through the reverse diabetes course. Yes, I will add the legumes as you suggest. I have been on low carb and Intermittent fasting for nearly two months now and lost 10kg but my glucose still spikes even with just a small piece of bread. I figured out on my own that low carb diets don't really reverse prediabetes, it is merely avoiding the sugars, hence no spikes. I am so glad I came across your videos. I will continue with your path from now on, it makes so much sense. I am prediabetic and petrified of getting full blown diabetes, so I am very committed to reversing this condition. Thank you for all your help.
@@Bluebirdflower7 The thing about low carb is if you take out carbs you have to replace it with something and usually that something is fat. More dietary fat means you stuff your liver cells and muscle cells with cellular fat, hence the glucose cannot get inside the cells and floats around the blood which translates as high blood sugar. So, until you get rid of the fat inside the cells, when you eat carbs, your blood sugar will remain high. Solution - drastic reduction in fat consumption to 15gm per day or less. Add a bit of exercise and fasting and you are good to go. Something else to let you know. Blood sugar rising after eating is normal physiological response so long as the blood sugar settles usually within 2 hours after eating, so don't panic when that happens
@drjoetvMD Yes, I did replace the carbs with fat because I listened to the low carb/keto doctors. I lost weight but after two months, I realised my insulin resistance did not improve at all. My glucose numbers after meals are still in the prediabetic range after eating carbs, but in the normal range with no or little carbs. The spikes do come down gradually, sometimes within 2 hours, sometimes longer. So I will now follow your advice and cut down the fat to 15g or below and exercise more. I have been doing intermittent fasting every day for 2 months already and will continue. I was up half the night watching your diabetes videos. I am so grateful to you for sharing your knowledge with us and steering us in the right direction among a sea of conflicting information online. Thank you so much. I am very fortunate to have come across your videos.
Getting rid of fatty liver just like other conditions means an overall change in lifestyle. You must never rely on just one "thing" to do the job for you. Doing that only leads to disappointment. So, taking a supplement and at the same time eating ultra-processed foods for instance will only lead to disappointment
