Dr. Gary Fettke - 'Nutrition and Inflammation' 

My kiddo had seizures(no genetic issues, im convinced it was caused by aluminum in the vaccinations). Anyway, we tried the meds first and while it stopped the seizures, she lost her personality. We went through 18 months of the worst, darkest time of my life. I thought I’d never see my child smile or laugh again. Doctors couldn’t help, supplements couldn’t help. Ketogenic diet helped, it saved all of us. After 3 months her seizures were gone. After 9 months something magical happened and we got her back. Just one day at the age of 5 she told us she was not sick anymore. I’ll be forever grateful to those who discovered ketogenic diet. She is almost 8 now, hasn’t had seizures in over 3.5 years, top of her class in all subjects.

I'm from Australia and i listened already! I was on a list for knee replacement and could hardly walk, taking lots of pain relief. Cutting out sugar, wheat and seed oil has made me virtually pain free and has given me back mobility, it's a life changer!

The line, "we eat by the food pyramid, die by the food pyramid, and look like the food pyramid." Is pure gold

Some years ago when my doctor told me I had type 2 diabetes, I asked him if I could still eat fruit. He said, "You can eat all the fruit you want. You are glucose intolerant, not fructose intolerant." And that's not the worst advice I have ever gotten from mainstream doctors. The public really needs protection from mainstream medical doctors.

Thank you Dr Fettke! I finally get the whole picture. You are my kind of doctor. I wish they were all like you. 😊

For me, eating fruit, especially grapes, is no different than eating chocolate or a piece of pie. Just sets me off on a sugar eating binge. On the rare occasions I do eat fruit, it is blueberries or strawberries.

Another well known Orthopaedic Surgeon was also cautioned and targeted for using nutrition to help his patients, and that is Dr. Shawn Baker. Well known carnivore and athlete.

I love this channel. The information from these Doctors is priceless. I could watch this stuff for hours.

I don't usually throw my two cents into any of these conversations on the internet because nothing usually comes from them. Here it goes. I'll tell you what a friend told me a week before he died of obesity, diabetes and heart disease. He said, Brian what I've learned after going through all this Agony with diabetes . we don't need to eat as much food as we think we do. And from experience I can tell you he's right I've cut my eating habits down to one meal a day.I don't eat junk food anymore and I eat very little fruit just on occasion. I know for a fact that if you eat like that you can have a piece of pie or some ice cream sometime. you can have a little bit of pasta. you can eat some steak. We don't even need to eat everyday. Enough said I can't believe I even made a comment on the internet. you all take care. One more thing I do limit my sugar intake which I think is really important. That includes my carbohydrate intake.

Recent studies shows that lack of vitamin D may correlate with depression, and now he shows that lack of vitamin D cause inflammation and inflammation causes depression, we are getting somewhere.

Thanks for sharing Dr Gary Fettke. You're a rock star!

@21:07 - @22:51 Excellent point about LDL and Vitamin D. Worth hearing again.

Excellent info. I've been doing keto for 6 months. I lost 36lbs and feel great

I did! 76 yrs old; no medication whatsoever, no sugar! only organic whole food.

Best doctor in Australia! Love your sense of humour. Thank you so much for being honest ❤

There’s a good book called “How I Healed My Arthritis”. Another good one is called “The Miracle of Fasting”.

Thank you for going against APHRA & having the courage to stand up against the mainstream consensus.

Great presentation on inflammation! I understand it a lot better now. I’ve always prided myself on staying away from margarine, high fructose corn syrup and partially hydrogenated oils. After watching this, I realized that I have been eating store-bought salad dressings that use these crappy polyunsaturated fats like soybean oil. Ugh this stuff sneaks into everything. Gonna have to bite the bullet and make my own using the good stuff. Everything needs to be made from scratch if you really want to know what’s going in it.

An excellent presentation that could be used to initiate the uninformed or ill-informed. Spread it far and wide.

Doctors like this one know what's good you because they've been through the wringer and know what it's like to be sick, so they can fix the problem. They know how to do it. Thanks doc.

Cholesterol is actually not bad, it is good, it's objective is to solve the problems with fat in the blood, make steroid hormones like vitamin D and testosterone, etc, when it's concentration is high, people don't have to get it down, people have to discover the reason why the body is producing it, because it is not what's causing the problem, the body is producing it because it's trying to solve the problem, getting it down will just slow down the healing process of the real problem you have, that's what conventional medicine is about today, treating the symptom not the cause.

In the 70's we also started to not feed our babies breast milk for long enough. The rates have never recovered. I think it's significant in the obesity epidemic also. The overuse of infant formula products aka the first processed food.. Someone please study this!

Brilliant video. Great personality. Very engaging. An important and honest message about nutrition that people need to know because of the centuries of misinformation. People need the truth so they can make informed decisions about their lifestyles. The misinterpretation and promoting of bad science behind nutrition is truly shocking. 100 years of food myths and deep seated cultural ideas around eating prevents the message getting through. Though, at least in UK and Australia where healthcare is free (ish) I’m convinced there’ll be a financial breaking point (due to the medical servicing of underlying nutritional diseases) where the authorities will have no option but to correct the messages, else face financial disaster (that tax payers won’t be able to afford).

Intermittent fasting definitely works! My twin sister started January 13th 2020 weighing 213 lb, and today February 9 2020, she's weighing in at 201lbs. Stay consistent and be patient

You are a good man, Dr Gary, and smarter than you say ;) God bless you!!!!

Thank you Dr Fettke, your talk is brilliant, so happy that I discovered Low Carb Down Under, my husband and I have already commenced the change to LCHF

Gary is one of the greats of this arena and love listening to him

This is by far the most enlightening talk on nutrition that I have ever watched on RU-vid... thank you Dr Fettke for breaking it down so solidly for me. In the past I thrived on a raw food diet of fruits n veggie shakes (I'm in Africa - plenty of vitamin D here fortunately!) but was unable to keep that up due to its restrictive and time consuming tendencies. Ive always wondered what about it made me feel so great and so full of energy and above all helped me rid my body of increasingly nagging symptoms of arthritis! I have just experienced a eureka moment.. Its not what I was putting in my body that made me feel great, its what I WASN'T putting in it. ie the polyunsaturated "vegetable " cooking oils. I don't know how to thank you for this revelation. God bless you! I look forward to hearing more from you. Now to look for cooking oil substitutes... I'll start with coconut oil.. its available n affordable where I live. I hope your theory holds up.

An excellently educational and enjoyable video. Living in Scotland where we have a dark winter and long sunny summer I believe that the role of vitamin D has been long underestimated. You shone light on it for me today. Thanks

* no sugar * low or no dairy * no wheat * no trans fats * organic * Eat slowly with gratitude

I strongly agree with his hypothesis.

Thanks for sharing! Gut health is so important to help curb inflammation! Some common mistakes to be careful of when trying to fix your gut health include: adding a probiotic to help with excessive gas and bloating (that's just one piece of the puzzle), eliminating a food for 4 days and expecting it solve the issue (will take at least 2 weeks), and not thinking about root causes!

Good video. I saved it to my Nutrition playlist. 100 grams protein daily, about 30 grams of carbs from vegies and nuts, 0 sugars, and good fats like butter, coconut oil, olive oil and lard. After at least 10 years of high BP meds, Metformin for type 2 and being obese, I've dropped 40 lbs, my BP is in normal range and my A1C is 5.5 after 5 months. It's not a sacrifice, because I'm winning!

I’m trying to make my poor metabolic health better, that started its downfall with spinal fusions and the medications needed to help me be somewhat pain free for the last 35+ years…..I felt so sorry for your situation when I saw you on Dr Chaffee. You are a legend, and where the truth hurts, it can also heal….😊❤

Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant!

This is brilliant (and vitally important to know and act upon). Thank you for posting!

Such a great lecture. I had no idea Vitamin D played a role in controlling inflammation. My doctor added that it also has a role in calcium absorption...wow, what a vitamin

Kicked carbs to the kerb five years ago. Do not regret it at all. Food freedom and health at last.

Thanks to you and the like dr's E.Berg and J. Bergman we are taking back our health and keeping off meds that continue to put many 6' under.❤️ Love you all and support you.

Excellent info. I've been doing keto . I lost 36lbs and feel great

What an excellent talk!! Really enjoy the visual and intellectual explanations that any person can understand.

Thank you Dr. Gary Fettke, Great post!! Finding fresh food can be a big challenge! We need more natural local food for All!

Just watched your interview for Diet Doctor. More or less the entire history (potted version 😉) of the anti meat agenda. Completely illuminating! One if the best if not THE best of the Diet Doctor interviews here on You Tube. I've been on LCHF for some considerable time now and lost three stones, moreover I feel better than I have for a long time and various ailments have simply dissolved away during this period. I'm about to watch other of your input on here and elsewhere. Your presentation was excellent too and I'm terming that interview as Food For Thought personally. Thank you.

So glad to have come across him.

Joel Wallach has been talking about all this for 30+ years. Glad to see someone is catching up.

Good to see him back doing lectures. Would like to know the back story and what his lawyers have to say bout his public speaking.

Wonderful presentation, personality and LIFESAVING information! Thank you so much for sharing this with the world Gary!

I learned all this and started practicing it in the early 90's before it was really talked about. I rarely consume (except I am sure when eating out) any of the standard polyunsat veg oils or grains. From his lectures my worse offense is that I do eat berries year round with my breakfast.

After eating first keto and now carnivore, my overweight physician said I had lost too much weight. He like other people including members of my family, do not know what a healthy person looks like. They are all overweight.

I’m type2, none of my GPs have told me that type2 can be put in remission. I also have hypertension and on meds for it, my GPs don’t even realise (or pass on) that healing my body is possible just by cutting carbs sugar and seed oils - this has been around for enough years they have no excuse- I’m really po’d. I’ve gone carnivore and fermented foods, losing weight and HBA1c has dropped significantly and I’m aiming for “normality” once that happens I’m ditching statins and challenging my BP meds. 178cm at this point 80kg.

That was an eye-opener. Anyone who cooks knows that seed oils oxidize more easily that grease/lard, etc. What I didn't know was that the kind of fat you eat gets incorporated into your tissue, cell walls, etc. So if you eat seed oils, your cell walls have polyunsaturated fats in them--fats that are easily oxidized. LDL is a natural chemical. It becomes dangerous, mostly, when it is oxidized or glycated.

Hi Gary Thanks for the witty, visually pleasing, comprehensive, uncluttered and simple presentation. This makes so much sense. Thanks for curating the information so that we all can be more aware. I am a nutrition enthusiast, and on the verge of reversing my diabetes. I am keenly interested in living long and healthy. What you say is similar what some of our ancestors from the Indus Valley said. In fact nutrition was biggest science then and the cook was the doctor. I have few questions for you, are carbohydrates from grains for example rice, sorghum, pearl millet, foxtail millet and so on as bad as from fruits? I am from India and we eat loads of seasonal millets. Are Vegetables, which grow on the contaminated soils, or animals who consume them are safe for us to eat? Isn’t that altering the content of the fats that you are mentioning for example clarified cow butter? What about Lactose? Eat seems no carbohydrates are good. You are right… largely we are doomed, Thanos seem to have clicked his fingers long time ago  or Shiva opened his 3rd eye…may be we are not fit for earth. Thanks & Regards Raghu

Everything went wrong in the 70s, Nixon got off the gold standard, Vietnam, Angel Keys, Polyunsaturated fats and carbs

LCHF /carnivore is the best lifestyle! No grains , no potatoes, no fruits and no added sugars!

Great information but man that dry mouth almost got me! Thanks for your time and expertise!🙏🏻

Excellent talk

Imagine if we all did the right things. Ate correctly, exercised, listen to what Dr Fettke is saying and did the right thing. We would put so many out of work. In the USA, $1 of every $4 in medical is spent of Diabetes, let me say that again, $1 in $4 USD......So the follow on, less medical staff as we would have less patients, less external medical services, medical centres, Paramedics. If we did the correct thing we would have no McDonald's, Hungry Jacks etc, obesity, would be in the past and the need for medications greatly reduced. What would that do to the economies of the world. Dr Fettke is the start of a very slow smouldering fire that needs to be heard, and heard bu the people who do not want to listen. Seriously, I love my chips, chocolate, honey on toast, and sausages etc. But I am starting to listen and take note.

Good information presented in a way that anyone can understand. Thank you.

We stand before the golden door Man’s hope for freedom evermore By GOD we’re given this great task To guard this gate, YOU SHALL NOT PASS!!

So, if I understand it correctly, polyunsaturated fats are bad in combination with carbs...... That makes sense. High carb plant based advocates are always promoting low fat. That's because fat in combination with a lot of carbs is unhealthy. The the keto proponents avoid this bad combination by eliminating the carbs as much as possible. It all makes sense. What is not clear to me is what the ideal ratios are on keto. Omega 3 to omega 6 to saturated fat. And if there even is such a thing as ideal ratio of these fats on keto.

Can I assume that the Title of the slide at time 17:57 should read "Uric Acid Inhibits Nitric Oxide"?

Totally fascinating talk and just what I needed to hear as I've been suffering with a sugar addiction for years, chocolate, bread, crisps you name it. I have been dabbling with an Ayurvedic way if eating for about 3 months, but only this month I discovered a quick fix to my sugar addiction as my sugar addiction was still present. I found constitution Bitters in my local Asian store (struggled with it at first as it's not pleasant to taste, but now look forward to it EVERY morning). After about a week I realised that I wasn't craving sugar anymore and I don't "fart all day" 😁 (what a bonus for everyone walking behind me) It's winter here in the UK so I'll ensure that I take my vitamin D supplements every day to maximize the benefits. Thanks for slotting everything into place, hopefully now I'll get rid of my brain fog, chronic fatigue and other inflammation in my body.

Has anyone tested these theories on people eating food grown in balanced microbial soils? I had the most significant change in my health eating normally, but getting greens grown in our garden. I felt incredible. I think it was the higher mineral and microbial activity in my gut.

Thank you I enjoyed your presentation!

You have enlightened me on inflammation. Thank you.

Interesting point at the 25 minute mark.

Absolutely brilliant

I’ve had brain surgery, I like to tell people I’ve had my brain stirred with a stick!

In US many doctors are also working for Wall St. corporations.

Orthopaedic surgeon speaks about nutrition and includes autism spectrum into a category of mental illnesses and modern diseases. My gosh, all of this should be reviewed...

Great information! Thank you for posting this.

Someone, please, get that man a drink of water..... other than that-- wonderful education here! Thank you!

Excellent, despite certain audience members who apparently have been inhaling laughing gas.

Would you please define "room temperature"? My coconut oil is liquid in the summer, but very, very solid in winter. All indoors, stored in a cool dark shelf.

Those refine carbs lacks a lot of fiber! Here in the Philippines, we eat rice & root crops. When eating carbs, make sure to eat carb sources that are rich in resistant starch. Or eat lots of fibrous foods together with your rice in a meal.

Suggest your viewers also look at Dr Rhonda Patrick lecture series on diets and epigenetics and their relationship. This biochemist gives you the in depth science behind this topic.

Someone give this man some water dammit! 😒

I love the diesel fuel and unleaded fuel analogy. It's so on point.

Very interesting; I wish we could have subtitles though, english is not my native tongue and I had some trouble understanding him sometimes

Interesting talk. I liked it a lot. Thank you!

Love his sense of humor!

Gracias por la info, muy ilustrativa.

Excellent info.

Intermittent fasting

Brian Murphy I can see why u don't often comment lots of very passionate comments out there some sounding quite rude ( thinking they're missing something in their diet maybe their diet is too restricted ) I liked your comment and your honesty and that even though you're passionate you're polite. Yeah and if you all out there in comment land see mine is too long and it bothers you just skip it that's what a polite person would do 🌿

This was very interesting to watch after Low Craqb Houston 2019, especially the presentations by David Diamond, Ivor Cummins, Jeffry Gerber, Siobhan Huggins, and Dave Feldman. I have a question about hormone known as vitamin D, where is it assembled by the body? Does the bacteria in the small intestine have anything to do with the assembly of D (D2/D3?) and which bacteria help to build D2 /D3? Does wearing UV blocking glasses, sunhats and long sleeves impact D production? Thank you once again Gary.

Loved the presentation. I have ankylosing spondylitis, and avoid processed foods and eat inimal starch. I'm unclear if Gary hasn't read or is disregarding the peer reviewed papers of Prof. Ebringer et al. His research specifically links starch to Ankylosing Spondylitis. Anecdotally, I have had inflammatory responses from eating fish and chips, which incidentally is high in starch. Anecdotally, I respond favorably to tea made from tumeric.

so the problem are not fruits. it s the processed carbs ( 25:00 ). i guarantee you, that if at the same time you cut out absolutely all carbs for a week, this isn t forever, and eat only fruit either instead of meals or instead of carbs, your fructose production will eventually start to go down. the whole issue is eating processed foods, and i know fruits are not what they used to be, but as long as they have seeds, they re still more healthy than white flour.

Was there a typo on the Power Point slide @18:00 ? Wasn't it supposed to read: Uric Acid Inhibits Nitric Oxide? Nevertheless, Fettke gives a great lecture here. I love this guy! For anyone who would like to convince their friends who still want to believe that fruit is a "health food," just tell them to Google search images of "wild fruits and vegetables" or "what fruits and vegetables looked like before human intervention." If THAT'S what they believe will sustain a human diet, then good luck with that! LOL

Interesting claim about uric acid... the foods that are supposed to create uric acid are beef, pork, most seafood, organ meat, oatmeal, spinach, cauliflower, mushrooms, cabbage... I think peaches and tomatoes too... there may be more... find someone with gout (like me) and you can test out different foods and see if they spark gout... but, I usually never get a flare up when I eat a lot of fruit. And I plan to eat a bunch of peaches during next peach season to see if the recommendation to avoid them applies to me, because I love peaches. One antidote to gout, is tart cherries, although I eat lots of sweet cherries every day... and take a tart cherry supplement. Apparently, cherries help the body clear uric acid. You do not want gout. It feels like your bones (usually in the feet, but in my case mostly in my fingers) have shattered and just barely touching them, is crazy painful.

Excellent info. feels great

Excellent information. Yet, many questions and few answers.

Are you no longer on Instagram? I just did a search (@thegaryscience) and nothing showed up.

Nice and easy to watch, thanks

Acidosis is the only disease - “The idea behind the whole thing is to keep your body basic, thereby eliminating dietary and metabolic acids, preventing the biological transformation of body cells into microforms, and ensuring radiant health. To that end, you’re going to focus on foods that alkalize your body and avoid those that acidify it. All food ingested releases electrons for energy, leaving an ash residue. This ash residue can be neutral, acidic, or alkaline, depending mostly on the mineral content of the original food. For example, potassium, calcium, magnesium, sodium, zinc, silver, copper, and iron form basic ash; sulfur, phosphorus, chlorine, and iodine leave acid ash. Most elements are alkaline. Fortunately for us, it is easy to categorize which foods leave which kind of ash. In general, animal foods-meat, eggs, dairy-processed and refined foods, yeast products, fermented foods, grains, artificial sweeteners, sweet fruit, and natural and artificial sugars are acidifying, as are alcohol, coffee, chocolate, black tea, and sodas. Vegetables, on the other hand, are alkalizing. That includes a few that are technically fruits: avocado, tomato, cucumber, bell pepper. A few nonsweet citrus fruits, such as grapefruit, lemon, and lime, are also basic in the body, as are sprouted seeds, nuts, and grains. Grains are acidifying, though a few (millet, buckwheat, and spelt) are only very mildly so. Raw foods are more alkalizing, while cooked food is more acidifying. We measure alkalinity and acidity along the pH scale. pH stands for “the potential of hydrogen”-its proton concentration. The pH scale also measures the potential of hydroxyl ions, or electron concentration. Foods saturated with hydroxyl ions, or electrons, are alkaline. Foods saturated with hydrogen ions, or protons, are acidic. In this way, the pH scale is also a measurement of the electrical energy in food or drink. Alkaline foods are full of electrons or electrical energy. Electrons are, in fact, what make them alkaline. This is the energy the body runs on. You can measure it, as I do, with an alkaline electron meter. Alkaline foods provide electron energy to the body; acidic foods pull electron energy from the body. It’s not much different, at heart, from batteries: New alkaline batteries are full of energy-they are saturated with electrons. Dead batteries have been drained of electrons, and they are acidic-saturated with protons. Among many other things, electrons aid in digestion. Electrons or alkaline compounds are called upon to buffer the enzymes or acids of the food. Whatever the acids or enzymes within the food, the body will release alkaline compounds or electrons to buffer them. The lower the acidity of the food, the fewer alkaline buffers or electrons are required. The fewer that are required, the more the alkaline reserves and energy of the body are preserved. The conservation of all that potential, then, provides a boost in your overall energy. The body can make more alkaline buffers and provide more electrons or electrical energy, instead, for use by organs and tissues carrying on their metabolic functions, and to provide repairs associated with environmental, dietary, and/ or metabolic acid or mycotoxic damage.” - The pH Miracle: Balance Your Diet, Reclaim Your Health by Robert O. Young, Shelley Redford Young

Thanks a lot doctor for this info. It was delivered in a simple manner.

Moderation is the key. Our ancestors didn't have Walmart supercenters. You had to burn a lot of calories to get your meal. Didn't have processed food ether. We may have a modern society but as far as our genes go we are still ancient humans. Interesting lecture but reminds me of a monotoned soft talking professor I had in college. I would fall asleep in class no matter how interesting the subject.

While having open heart surgery in dec 2016, as a type 2 diabetic I thought my meals was as they said diabetic meals? I hardly take any T2 medication just keep of sugar ect. While in hospital they was giving me Insulin inchections? When I aked why? I was told my sugar reading was 20? becuase of the stress? the Endocrnologist came in and said it was not the sweets? The chocolate mouse was great? first and last hospital sweet, my sugar was reading a lot lower, Not reading 20, refused injections, the nurses told Endocrnologist, boy was she mad with me I said if over 12 I will consider allowing insulin. Off she went as I said the food is full of sugar. I READ THE REPORT AT BUTTOM OF BED, DO NOT CALL ME AGAIN FOR THIS PATIENT. The prove 1/some around 20 but no readings near 20 2/ While waiting to leave the meals lady asked did I want a sweet with a smile, "yes a reason" I ate it and was home within 45min and took a reading you guesed 20 reading. I was also had a reaction so no insulin then no statin, which was the problem. I have 4 boxes on insulin, worth $1000 ?. What are we all being given? to keep the medical industry wealthy.

On balance good advice. Eat more green leafy vegetables and less garlic bread for a start.

Is there a website we can trust that will tell us decent options as to what we can eat and be reasonably healthy?
