Finding you has made all the difference in my life. I'm 7 months into carnivore, for the past 6 months I have been recovering from an achilles blow up, and still I have lost over 40 lbs. My IBS is gone!!! Decades of pain ended! Being able to frame my relationship to sugar as an addictiion has been key, and your teachings have made all the difference. THANK YOU!!!
100 years from now, I predict medical students will be lectured about the courageousness of Dr. Cywes to make these videos. How one person can make a difference!
Remarkable story. Being human, even the most disciplined scientists can become blind to the obvious, allowing themselves to become locked into an single hypothesis. I really think the current state of medical training is doing more harm to patients than good. It’s very difficult to find a physician who really understands metabolic function and uses that understanding in treating diabetes, obesity and other metabolic related diseases.
@Carnivore Controls Tech The problem is once you reach a certain level where you have to "know" a lot, you get to where you won't question the consensus because you "know" something to be true, and to question it is to admit that you don't "know" something that everyone else around you "knows" to be true. Medical researchers have to be at a very high level, and the fact that those around them agree only strengthens their resolve that they're correct about what they "know", because of this the basics of the scientific method are ignored. In the studies that the good Doctor mentioned, they got results that weren't what they expected, and because they "know" something to be true they looked for why the study was wrong, and didn't even consider that their hypothesis about sugar being good for the liver was the problem, and that's the beauty of having children look at things. They're not yet prejudiced towards one side or the other, they would (correctly) state that the study proved that the hypothesis was wrong, and that they need to come up with a new one. And he mentioned the grant money, it's always the grant money, because the researchers depend on it to be able to do anything (I'm looking at you Monsanto on the FDA and DOH advisory board.)
The addiction model works when moderation fails. I think that the devastating effect on this substance on our bodies and our minds is one of the biggest tragedies of our modern society. It is only after breaking free from this addiction that I have been able to see the hold that it had over me. The Dr.'s video about addicts being immune to risk sums it all up nicely.
I knew you were right down deep but it took me 3 years to stop the fake sugar to get through my mental . Please keep spreading this information and love.
@@peacelovejoyandhappiness so I just cut all sugar including fake sugar completely out of my diet and I have been keto for 5 years and have great results . After 23 days with no sweetener at all my brain is finally quiet. I could literally cry saying those words to you. The mental anguish of “getting my fix” from sweetness of all kinds is completely gone. Everyday I get stronger because I look at it like how my smoking was it’s an addiction for me.
I too have a hard time letting go of certain things. Nearly 3 years of keto, now carnivore. I finally have gotten rid of diet-zero drinks and sugar free treats. Haven't had a soda in 6 weeks. No treats in a few months. It seems that I always have to do it my way, instead of listening to others advice. Maybe someday I will learn faster. Anyways, the cravings are finally gone, and I don't have any desire to add sugar free treats/soda back in.
@@lyndarobbins66 I actually started the BBBE to take out any inflammatory foods but I feel so good I will see if I add other things in. Other than special occasions but that will not include any sweeteners
Used to watch House MD back when we had access to it. Nothing like those "House eureka" moments. No more, I'm calling eureka moments "Dr. Cywes" moments. I have come to far on keto to ever go back, was heavy too long, will live with the loose skin. Cool to know you were at Vanderbilt. Look forward to the continuation of your story. Thanks. A Christ follower.
Thank you doctor yes there are too many people who are following self-taught people who don't have the science, medical or clinical background to do what they're doing. So glad that you are interested and teach what is correct
Thank you for guiding me and teaching me … and especially teaching me about my relationship with food … it’s been invaluable to me ! Being obese since I was 10…. I found keto , now mostly carnivore at age 53… it’s been over 3 years .. and I am finally free! I honestly didn’t think it would happen for me You are intelligent , and walk the walk … it’s amazing
Integrity to be open to one’s research findings is difficult but so important as we search for solutions. Thanks for sharing! Looking forward to part 2!
Thank you for this. Your dedication and learning has led you down a path that many never have the luck or choice to find. And you had the smarts to connect the dots and decide to do something about what you saw. We are now reaping the benefits of what you have done and it is making a huge difference to many people. I hope you do get funding some day to continue and update your original PhD study and get it published. It sounds like it has so much information that is just not out there in the medical world for doctors to look at and make their decisions when attending to their patients.
Revelations....real revelations. Thanks for what you are doing. I am quite convinced of the carb-loading-refined-sugar effect of addiction and its deleterious affect/propagation on human disease. "It's poison, it will kill you slowly and painfully" is what I have to tell myself when it is offered. Now if only I can convince my loved ones. Sipping my coffee/fasting this morning. Cheers.
Awww I so want to hear the end .I’m hanging on to my seat this is amazing . I have everything that’s being said. I’m addicted to carbs, and not really a sugar junky.and have been in and out of doctors offices and in and out of hospitals my whole life for so many complications .this is so eye opening for me.thank you and please come out with the other half of your talk, I can’t wait...lol!!!! Oh my God my mind is blown.
Great story, Dr Cywes! You got stellar credentials and is eminently qualified to offer the advice you give us. Fantastic! Thank you! Waiting for Part 2 of this episode.
I really wish I knew all of this when I was at least 15 years old. It is extremely sad that we have forgotten so many things that should have been common knowledge. None of us thought to really look at our grandparents and ask why were there not a whole lot of fat people back in those days? None of us even thought to make the connection with the dietary guidelines and the increase in obesity and heart disease among other things.
Fudging data to fit one’s preconceived ideas: it was ubiquitous when I was going for my Ph. D., and seeing evidence of it really contributed to my grad student burnout.
This presentation was riveting, Dr. Cywes. I did a fair amount of cell biology in college, but learning about what happens outside the normal function of the cell is fascinating. Thank you for helping me understand more about my body.
Dr. Cywes this is powerful information and you have explained this in layman’s terms to be so easy to understand. Thank you for helping me understand diabetes and what is happening to the body. I’m a sugar addict and working on transition to a carnivore lifestyle. Thank you so much for this video. Glad you like Toronto, I was born there. Bless you Dr. Cywes.
Fascinating . . . And, from a lay person's perspective, I hope many of your peers get the opportunity to see (digest) this too. Thanks for being the straight-shooter that you are.
My Sugars were 6-8 mmol and a Specialist Physician put me on Insulin, and a dietician on a high Carb diet. I was fit played squash, surveyor with field work. But things caught , kept gaining weight , whatever I did. Have recently cut carbs right down. Have lost 6 kgs in 3 months. Reducing insulin, without consulting GP
Thank you for your humility. I have sat in those grand rounds where we have learned that our hypothesis about some physiology is completely wrong and our treatment harmed. These moments keep us humble and learning. This really helps explain why TPN kills livers as sole source nutrition. I do however remember brilliant dieticians in the early 80s in the ICU bringing up brown bottles of MCT oil for the sickest patients who we were trying to wean from vents. She knew. We did not but it worked and I knew MCT oil was magic but only 3 years ago did I know why Thank you.
Another Great Video Doc Cywes, You just don’t work with us whom struggle with our Bodily Health, You Good Doctor help with the Mental Aspect as Well ❤️ and as a Dedicated Follower of You, Dr’s Berry, Boz and Baker I’ve been able to Help Others Whom Struggle with Their Health. So I THANK YOU 😊
Fabulous talk. I appreciate so much your honesty and self reflection on your research. Looking forward to the second part. Ever since I went true heavy meat based keto 7 months ago, I have been absolutely devouring any and all good podcasts and videos on the subject. Being an an RN for 17 years, I love learning more about the physiology/pathophysiology side of things. Thank you!
You are the first Man to put this over so easy I can't you for you taking the time to help us and I would say your Father would be so very proud of his son God Bless you 🙏
I am personally disgusted that there is a McDonald's in the ground floor of each of our major hospitals. Then they have all of these fund-raisers for the sick kids....don't need a phd to add that up.
I saw five different individuals with medical degrees and the diplomas on the walls and they all failed to diagnose acute coronary artery disease despite obvious symptoms. Degrees and diplomas are a start. But they do not indicate competence, and competence is what matters. Just today in my hometown paper is an article in which a Mayo Clinic doc pushes consumption of lots of grains and fruits. Says it'll make you healthier. Guys has probably never heard of hyperinsulinemia.
They just ran a keto cheese puffs add on your channel. Oh my. :) You referred to Ancel Keys as Ansel Adams. Only a photography fan would flub that way! Ansel was great. Ancel? yeah, not so much.
What was proven was, how difficult it is to unlearn what intellectually, societally we have been taught. Unlearning the learned. Retraining the brain. Forcing the hypothesis.
Thank you for all your effort you put into your videos!! I have to replay to grasp what you were getting at, and it was worth the effort! You are part of my journey of fellow carb addict! I just got my latest A1C test result 5.2 ! Yahoo! went from 396 to 277. Happy trails to all on this journey , you are worth it hang in there!
I started with you and still with you, but must admit I have looked into a half dozen others and found that many opinions, none of which has worked, either.! But I'm still working off your program! Thank you! The best info as always!
🙋Hello from Ga, 👋 This video is Amazing!!!! You are changing the world of health Dr. I appreciate your content immensely!! God bless you and this channel.👍☺
I so need a doctor like you in Birmingham, AL. When I was still doing keto (now carnivore) in January, my ob/gyn tried to put me on a statin with low triglycerides, 95 HDL and higher ldl. At that time I was 51, 5’5”, 129lbs. He told me to eat egg beaters 😂. I told him I respectfully disagree and I parted ways. My new GYN is great and thinks my bloodwork was fine except that she didn’t think my thyroid was optimal. I had all the low thyroid issues (weight gain, hair loss, fatigue) and no doctor had ever done the full bloodwork. I’m now on thyroid meds and bio-identical hormones. I just need a good primary care physician now!
Very fascinating information! I love listening to your talks. Thank you so much for sharing I have learned so much in my journey to a better understanding of health
Ansel Adams was a remarkable photographer. I didn’t know he also conducted the seven country study but he would have definitely done a better job than Ancel Keys 😂
I am sure it was a slip of the tongue. I agree that Adams would have performed a better analysis of the 7 countries study. When science is done badly ppl get hurt- possibly a lesson for what is happening right now. .
As a Holistic practitioner practicing nutrition, naturopathy and herbal medicine I am very interested in physiology the first thing we focus on when treating peopke is the Liver...
Are they still teaching this the old way in medical school? Would a brand new family doctor know what you are saying or do they still think that fat is the enemy? Thank you for giving us this information Dr. Cywes.
This story from Dr. Cywes is similar to others I've seen, including Dr. David Unwin and Dr. Susan Wolver. They all didn't recognize the dangerous carbohydrates and they were misguided. Information was available over 100 years ago that already had it all figured out.
Isn't it remarkable how these docs spend 160 hours a week fixing diet related issues in hospital, yet they don't have time to make their own meal, nor spend 2 minutes contemplating what the food they get at Wendy's is doing to themselves? Mad world!!
Thank you Dr. I have an issue, I have very low blood pressure, 99/57, I give blood every 3 months but last week, I just made the test. 95/59. I’ve been on clean keto. No sugar or carbs and iF 15-18 hrs daily. This week tried to bring it up, so far now working. Drinking electrolytes daily, today 103/55, continue to get lightheaded. What am I doing wrong? Ps you helped me last year answering my very high LDL after my Blood test and it continue to come down. Each time giving blood, I get my cholesterol tested and went down 267 down to 210 very happy but now having lightheaded and can not bring it up. thanks for looking as my question.
One thing I’ve learned about the “civilized” is that squiggles on paper just don’t mean anything. I’ve never had these mythical rights that people say exist acknowledged nor extended to me by those who claim to be authorities, public or private, for profit or not. Sad but true!
Im staying carnivore, almost a year now, but i keep having digestive problems. I very very seldom had any digestive problems before when i ate SAD. After my first 6 mos carni i started getting daily gerd. I started taking HCl and it improved but has not gone away. I started sucking on altoids because it quelched the burn which turned into a warming in the back of my throat. Today i have a soarness, red inflammed area in the same area. I believe i have learned that carnivore will bring out all the inbedded illness that have been in my body over my 56 years but after 4 or 5 months of digestive issues when can i start to feel better. I started carni to improve my type 2 diabetes and it has in that im nearly off all meds for it. I was taking lantus, novolog amd metformin. Now im only taking metformin. My a1c has lowered from 14 to 6.4 (nearing due date for my next 3 mos blood test and thinking it will be even lower). I also have hashimoto so i would love to know if it is playing a role in my ongoing digestive problems. I cant find info on my own and my last doctor (he moved from pa to ca in sept so im looking for another)just wanted to push pills and not get to my root problems. If you see this can you please point me in the right direction
@@francisvlatko2834 i think thats where im heading. I need to find out if i can afford it on my disability income, and if he can work with me in pa, and if insurance will help in costs
@@stars_for_night_lights yes i have taken acv pills but thinking i dont need them currently. My mouth sore, red and raw issues started 2 or 3 days ago after eating a dill pickle from a target store brand. Previously i was consumming vlasic dills with no problems. It feels like i burnt my mouth in the back of my throat
Has anyone studied using ketosis (dietary or exogenous) in patients who are expecting a transplant as well as exogenous ketones given to the donor of the organ (as soon as donation is decided)-to supply non-inflammatory energy as well as reduce overall metabolic inflammation during the recuperation?
I buy groceries at a store near my house. This is a good store. There's always a queue at the store for surrogates. People are standing in line to get their poison: pizza, cakes, pastries. Trans fats + sugar + gluten. Almost no one buys meat. There are never queues for meat. Such a time.
Did he say Dave Feldman? Cywes and Feldman worked together? I just saw that Paul Saladino and Dave Feldman are doing a podcast together on Spotify today.
I love this confession by this brilliant physician which demonstrates how wrong the medical industry has been regarding carbs. This is one of many examples that makes me a covid vaccine skeptic.
I think I’ve finally given up trying to moderate carbs. Even the tiny bit of sugar in green beans sends me into binging on carbs. Unfortunately cheese does the same thing. Must be it is the casein that also triggers the same addiction to carbs. From here on out it’s 100% carnivore for me.
Ty for your valuable free information...but I need to ask.. carnivore for 2 months..t2d for 20 years.. exercise with walking for work..at least an hour, dinosaur airdyne fan bike (1979)..at least 3 times weekly for 30 minutes.. sugars still in the 200s.. including fasting..I also fast 18/6..I feel frustrated..I know my glucose is liver dumping..but will it ever go normal 🥺😔?..please let me know 🙏
I miss those 1980's muffins! Delicious & huge, washed down with coffee! Remember Mmmarvellous Muffins shops and Muffin Break shops with 25 different kinds of muffins?! Remember Seinfeld's muffin tops episode? yes I have all the bad health consequences now - ugh.
