In one word, brilliant. As a practising primary care physician I am kicking myself for not discovering this invaluable series of lectures way earlier. Indebted to Dr. PM.
Be sure to urge your patients to also build muscle, there are countless research articles that state exercising strong muscles (& the myokines they produce) can treat and prevent 26 chronic diseases! It improves the guy microbiome, & can also extend life up to 10 years!
i research over twenty low carb doctors ,,and i can tell you Dr Paul is one of the doctors at the top of my list of the best doctors in knowledge ,,makes me proud to be an aussie
This is the best lecture I have ever heard that describes what is going on with at least 50% of the world population from our poor food environment. Wow this is actually better than Robert Lustigs lecture that got 6 million views. Very easy to understand.
Physicians in the United States get a few hours of Nutrition in the entirety of their educations. This Video SHOULD be REQUIRED continuing education curriculum for our Physicians!
Yes, I knew a guy who dropped dead of a heart attack at age 39. He was thin all over but had that little "beer keg" as he called it. He was 6-6 but only weighed about 235. It was visceral organ fat. He was likely borderline diabetic and heart disease snuck up on him quick.
Wow. It is no wonder so many people are diabetic. I am so upset with the doctors that we have seen that seriously couldn’t care less about us….. ugh. Thank you Dr. Mason for educating us so we can UNDERSTAND, instead of just stuffing us with pills.
I never got keto flu. I'm not sure I would have even noticed anyway. After feeling crappy for years, a little flu-like thing doesn't even register. lol
@@luludrinkerofcoffee4035 I wonder if the keto flu thing is related to drinking too much water - I know I do! I recently picked up keto again and this time around I just started adding salt to my water bottle, and no keto flu. I will sometimes get headaches if I don't do this even. Tastes great too :)
Your encouragement to test insulin levels with the tolerance test has given every one a sobering percentage of their future. We were all given a glucose reading by our doctors thinking all good. We all looked at the results of the tests thinking “ALL IS OK “ Why are they not testing for insulin ???? Thanks for saving me for even more damage
My uncle was a Professor in gynaecology he used to take a lot of salt in his food., he died at the age of 97 years. Thanks for this good presentation. Watching from the Uganda.
I have been KETO/IF/OMAD for 2 years. I reversed kidney failure, came off BP meds, cured insomnia and migraines. I also consume copious amounts of Redmond's sea salt every day. Never felt better! Great presentation! Bravo!
a mom of a friend of mine, died of kidney failure, if only this diet is as accepted as normal as taking pills, i think the world could save a lot of life and prevent grieving relatives.
You have found the solution. I also am doing low carb (not necessary the KETO plan and IF using a 21:3 fasting schedule. Dr. Jason Fung in his Diabetes Code book goes into great detail on reversing type 2 and metabolic syndrome. Gin Stephen's book Fast Feast Repeat book is also a good read. Congrats!!
Thank you, sir. Found out about my IR and managed to turn it around. Urged my husband to check his insulin levels, and lo and behold ... We still have time to turn his condition around, and you are to thank for it.
I don’t understand why this knowledge hasn’t become the mainstream all over the world. I see people eating whole grains bread with “low fat” margarine and then wondering why their diet never works. I’ve been fasting in periods of 24h and 72h and the results has being impressive
What he said about Dexa scans and visceral fat mirrors my experience. I did a set of three last year. I wasn't losing much in the way of kilos, but my visceral fat melted away.
For the first time in 5 years, my heart rate has gone below 95. My last Heart rate check after mild exertion was 79 BPM. Before Carno/lacto after simply getting up to get a glass of water my BPM would jump to 100+ Ever while sitting and relaxing it never went below 90. I am now a carno/lacto adherent. I have not weighed myself in a few months. I am not yet worried about my weight. But the decrease in heart rate and blood pressure alone has concreted this WOE in my mind. The ONLY carbohydrate in my diet, is the minuscule amount I get in extra sharp cheddar and cream cheese. I have to force myself to eat. I am never hungry anymore.
Congratulations! I'm keto/carnivore 2 years. Since childhood I've aways had low blood pressure, heart murmur, and hypoglycemia. The keto lifestyle has greatly improved all of my symptoms related to aforementioned conditions. Keep up the great work!
Wonderful to hear your results. I’m just starting Caron/lacto mainly for arthritis. Hoping for great results too, thanks to people like yourself sharing their journey. 🙏💖
Your story is similar your mine. I have only been keto since July 20, 2022. I am late learning all this since I am 75 years. 17 years ago I was put on BP meds. After one month of no processed foods, sugar, seed oils and (20/4 fasting) -blood pressure went way down. Afraid it would drop too low I tossed my meds -and BP including pulse is absolutely normal!!! After all those years!!! Tossed my statin too because statins block coQ10 so the blocking also causes “ insulin resistance”. These meds destroy our organs. “They will kill you with the cure”. I am now more afraid of the medical community than I ever used to be. I love keto!!! Yes, not always easy for us sugar addicted but sure beats poking myself with needles and having limbs chopped off!👍👍👍
He's so good at explaining/teaching without any attitude and straight away stating parameters of metabolic syndrome if everyone knew those instead of the food pyramid...... He's great at spreading the knowledge and has a great way of doing it...
Well, there are still enough doctors who don't believe the science, and we're no longer in the 60's for one ego-driven maniac to fake a study and force it on the government, so I don't see it implemented in education plans anytime soon. BUT thanks to the internet we're actually able to educate ourselves on the topic without having to rely on the government, so there's that. I come from a country where the population's wellbeing was measured by beef consumption 30 years ago, maybe in another 30 we'll be back at it.
This is an AMAZING lecture! I wish I had known this about insulin years ago. Dr. Mason really covers the major parts of the body affected by insulin resistance. He also discusses HOW they are affected by insulin, and WHY people get each of the components that make up metabolic symdrome. I never realized the role TRIGLYCERIDES play in the damage done by insulin. Triglycerides definitely play a large part in pushing metabolic symdrome along! Thank you, Low Carb Down Under for sharing this eye opening information!.
Dizzy keto flu symptoms can be prevented by Salt 4-6g is best Liver can only hold 100g of sugar if you put in more you get high triglycerides and fatty liver HDL is good but prevented with triglycerides Elevated blood sugar levels insulin resistance increases fasting glucose level Fat high in indigioni Blood pressure goes down salt effect in kidneys Causes of insulin resistance- visceral fat Body mass index Fatty liver Fructose leads to fat accumulation Eliminate carbs Fat you lose first is the visceral fat Liver gets healthier on low carb diet Height of insulin predictive of diabetes Reactive hypoglycaemia makes you hungry 😋 when you eat carbs increasing cravings We can fix this in 3 months
for me the keto level 99 the carnivore diet works but i plan to reintroduce other "keto" things into my diet. But I wish that I knew this when I was young. I just wasted my youth because the shit sugar and flour.
Interesting studies have confirmed without a doubt that individuals with antigen A (blood type A and AB) have a dramatic reduction of their intestinal alkaline phosphatase and chylomicrons (used in package and transport of dietary triglycerides in the blood) activities. A fat based diet is counterproductive for these folks. Which might explain why lots of type A pretend to do well in low fat diets (vegetarians).
Doctors know a lot about diabetes, ironically many people continue dying due to diabetes complications, I think we've been doing things wrongly. Hospitals are full with people dealing with that illness, cemeteries are also full with people who died due to the same problem. We've been losing the battle against the killer, I wonder if soda companies think about that, maybe not, perhaps all they care for is money.
LcHhf is NOT Atkins. Atkins takes zero account of high omega 6 unsaturated fats. Dirty keto is more akin to Atkins where you can eat whatever garbage fried foods and processed meats you wish. A low car high healthy fat ketogenic lifestyle involves not only eating very low carbs and high fats, but also a focus on whole foods with high fats such as pasture raised eggs, avocados, wild caught salmon, pasture raised and finished beef, lamb, pork and so on. The so-called healthy unsaturated fats are extremely high in omega 6’s, which is extremely unhealthy and pro inflammatory.
@@Combat_Pyro Sure, we've learned more about Omega 6 vs Omega 3 fats and many other things since Dr. Atkins wrote his book, but he was right, and he was way ahead of the rest of the world of diet and nutrition. thenoakesfoundation.org/news/its-the-insulin-resistance-stupid-part-3-by-prof-timothy-noakes
@@Combat_Pyro Knock Off the food snobbery. This is about low carb, NOT "exclusive elite food for the upper class only". Newsflash, not everyone has access or the budget for your puritanical dietary demands. Following your amateur advice actively excludes most of the population that needs this the most. Their is nothing wrong with regular produce from regular supermarkets for regular folk.
This is amazing! I have learned so much watching your videos. So many of our health problems are diet related! The high carb + low fat mantra I have accepted most of my life is a myth. And we wonder why we have so many health and weight problems in the United States. The Keto diet is based upon science and facts! And more importantly it works!! For me it has become a lifestyle that is full of positive benefits! Why doesn’t our government shout this out with a huge megaphone 📢? It’s because so many corporations benefit from our sugar/ carb addiction; from food to pharmaceuticals!
I love this presentation. I compared this to my old tests and took action with keto, IF (16:8, OMAD, and 24-72 hr periodic fasting). 65lbs down, triglycerides in half.
at start Dr Mason asked 'what is good health?'... then he started to list.... I would like to add 1 more to list..... 'No over excercise injuries'.... why?.... cause many believe a calorie is a calorie and fall into 'over excercise syndrome' trying to fix metabolic diseases.
this was an awesome presentation. not only the standard diet in your country, but mine as well causes this. i believe in the US the diet could be even worse considering the state of additives put into our foods. thanks so much for posting this info blessings to you
If you were surprised and Intrigued by the role of salt indicated in this presentation, I recommend the book The Salt Fix. It was written by an American doctor who similarly recognised the role of salt in MetS / metabolic syndrome.
25:46 couldn't help but react to this graph. About 23 years for insulin resistance to develop, which corresponds well to when I, and for that matter most people I know whom are overweight started to pack on the kilos.
One question on the correlation between urinary sodium excretion, salt intake, and all-cause mortality. Might the cause of both reduced sodium excretion and increased mortality on the left hand side of the chart be high levels of insulin? Perhaps these people were consuming more sodium than they were excreting? And dieing more, due to metabolic disease?
I thought the same, there may be a unhealthy user bias, yet sodium seems to be very important for many vital process so it wouldn't surprise me if in this instance we find causality.
I highly agree that we are generally eating too many carbs and our guidelines are very faulty. They kill people who follow them. People with autoimmune issues, they actually *must* reduce whole food groups and people with allergies needs to avoid lots of specific foods. It truly comes down to everybody's unique body-make-up how much the carbohydrates and sugar are going to damage you. But I also like to note that the diet should never be based on conformity. Everybody is VERY unique and our dietary needs differ vastly. No one diet fits for all. So listening one's own body is most important and that is what everybody keeps forgetting. I believe myself to be highly effected by the carbohydrates and have intuitively been eating less carbs over the years. Now I am doing Paleo and it feels like coming home!
I want to do some kind of nutrition education course but I feel I’m just going to be taught mainstream high carb nonsense - where can I go to learn some real foodie scientific truths?! X
When I had glucose tolerance tests 40 years ago and the results were a completely flat curve. They couldn’t tell I drank 100 grams glucose. Same happened on a 2nd test. My doctor told me I gush insulin. This helps me understand why I could never feel good eating sugar and would feel terrible and gain weight quickly trying to eat a lower fat higher carb diet. Going Keto is the first time I have felt great and not been hungry.
Because calling a treatable and curable disease chronic, while selling the poison is more profitable for big pharma. Right now the treatment for high insulin, is more insulin. It's like giving alcohol to an alcoholic and saying alcohol is a chronic disease that cannot be cured. Literally feeding you the same poison to treat your poisoning.
@@TwoPlusTwoEqualsFive32 Looks like we can all agree on SOMETHING anyway. I wish people would evaluate their politics in this same manner. Whats proven good and whats proven bad. SIMPLE !
@@TwoPlusTwoEqualsFive32 Kind of like the church falsely convincing you that you are morally sick, and then offering to sell you the cure. All they ask in exchange is money and your LIFE.
I actually released a lecture about six months ago that goes into a couple of these mechanisms in more detail: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nzKj_TxRuTQ.html
His focus - target is NOT keto diet(s) but value of reduced ("low") carbohydrate diet - reminds me of Dr. Bernsteins' 20 grams max per day and it is effective for weight loss....
And yet diets with no more than 20 grams a day, as Dr. Bernstein and Dr. Eric Westman of Duke University recommend will allow virtually everyone to burn fat for fuel, instead of sugar. This allows the body to burn excess fat. This is also known as 'nutritional ketosis', or a ketogenic diet. Fat is also critical for building other body structures - including the walls of every cell in the body, hormones, and many other iportant functions.
I have Bernstein’s book....the man is a genius! ( So was Atkins-his first book saved my life and kept me from becoming an insulin poisoned. T2 Diabetic.with a short, miserable life! 😋👍😁
The salt study showing the risk of all cause mortality increasing with sodium restriction is suspect. Ask yourself who in this day and age is taking in only 2000 mg or less of sodium? Answer: People with preexisting, prediagnosed conditions, such as congestive heart failure. They are put on the low sodium diet by the doctor. They already have a problem.
Does elevated glucose level happens in a healthy person at times, just like elevated hypertension in a healthy person at times, due to one’s life or work stress? Thank you
Would you recommend 4-6 grams of salt a day per person? I feel like if we can’t get it from diet without adding it then it shouldn’t really be essential? It is just something that has been a thought.
I found the atkins diet 35 years ago I still have his original book. But then the medical world vilified him and he had to recommend less fat . And most doctor's believe cutting calories is the only way to lose weight. Absolute madness
My BP is moderately high under medication (125/80). I am on a HFLC diet and my latest blood works show that I am insulin sensitive. All other markers look good, HbA1c is 4.9, Trigs 0.79 mmol/l, HDL chol 2.0 mmol/l. I lost half of my thyroid in 2007, and take 100 mg of Uthyrox. My TSH reading 2.76.
Wow, if as you say the fat that we lose first on a ketogenic diet is the bad stuff, that is amazing. Visceral fat is so dangerous. How do we know though that that is true?
Good health is NOT the absence of bad health. Numbers are indicators only. Real bad health is indicated by symptoms. The big abdomen, lack of energy, low libido or inability to perform, angina, infections and muscle spasms are REAL signs of bad health, and good health is high energy, great skin and hair, good sleeping habits, memory and mood. Otherwise, he's great.
These are often signs of insulin resistance also. When one is insulin resistant, one can have trouble absorbing vitamins and minerals, micronutrients from food, or if diet is poor, high carbs, with processed seed oils, that also could cause deficiency and malabsorption of nutrients. The person could also have autoimmune disease, like Hypothyroidism, which causes deficiencies.
Carbs, over a certain amount are specially fattening, that is why breast milk is so high in carbs, to fatten the baby quick and to nourish a growing human brain, when you are done growing (an adult) it is reasonable to assume you need less anabolic signaling (carb-induced insulin signaling).
The study refers to sodium, not salt. The slide title is in error. Therefore, to obtain the amount of salt needed to achieve a daily target of 4-5 g of sodium would require 10-12 g/day of sodium chloride salt (NaCl), which is about 2 teaspoons (assuming no other sources of sodium in the diet).
Sodium. Dr. Stephen Phinney, MD PhD also covers this in some of his presentations. So yes, this means that we should be consuming 8-`12+ grams of salt a day. More, if we are on a very low carb or ketogenic diet. Salt quality is not addressed. Processed table salt sold in the USA has had all the trace minerals removed. It is superheated to ~1,200F, which changes the structure. And it has added chemicals, so that 'when it rains, it pours'. Most seasalt is now polluted. Pre-pollution mined seasalts like Himalayan pink and Redmond natural salt from Utah contain a wide array of trace and micro-trace minerals that are beneficial for health. These 'real' salts are not processed. The FLAVOR is so much better - and natural salt does not burn like processed table salt does.
Thank you! Your lecture is packed with so much scientific and medical knowledges. I am interested in metabolic syndrome and I learned a lot from your lecture. However, Australian blood glucose measuring scale must be quite different from American (the U.S.). I couldn’t quite understand when you mention single digit glucose level, when it should be from 2-3 digits in the U.S. system- normal fasting glucose level is 70-100 here.
I am amazed that there have been ~300,000 views but 5,600 likes! Does this mean most are in denial? They already know this information? The jokes aren’t good enough? For those that didn’t like all I can say is that Darwin seems to be at work.
Yes. Most people get most of their sodium from salt, but NaCl is what, 40% sodium? So we need to consume at least 80-12 grams of salt a day. More if we are on a very low carb diet. Natural, unprocessed salt with no added chemicals is the logical choice. Regular table salt has had the trace nutrients removed, and has added chemicals. Most sea salt is now polluted. Himalayan pink and Redmond salt from Utah are two sources of ancient pre-pollution sea salt.
I am interested in the biological mechanisms of ptsd and trying to figure out the true cure for the disorder. I have researched it a bit but studies are all one or the other. I would love it if you could dig into the mechanisms of LDL, HDL, TG, B amyloid, insulin resistance, systemic inflammation (interleukin), C reactive protein, as well as sodium levels and potentially the way that it maintains ptsd; as these are all a factor as stated in some studies.
Is there any connection with higher cortisol levels (people who are emotionally responsive or sensitive) to changes to insulin levels? Can someone have slight hypertension and perhaps higher cortisol levels yet the same person is on a whole foods diet and has lost a lot of weight due to their diet & daily exercise routine and still develop insulin resistance if they are very emotionally sensitive and their cortisol levels are generally elevated?
Come to England and give me a health check as it sounds like I got metabolic syndrome, your saying every thing I got and feel my docter say it my age. I need 1 good diet. I trying fasting and carnivore, when to eat and not, any video to watch thanks paul
