Creating a 1.5 hour video about insulin resistance without mentioning Dr. Roy Taylor or his research is absurd. Roy Taylor is considered the world's expert on insulin resistance and type II diabetes based on his groundbreaking studies from 2007-2011. This video might better be titled something like "the fundamentals of metabolic disease"
My grandpa’s diet. Eggs fried in lard. Bacon barely fried. Toast with butter. Beef. Garden fresh vegetables. Occasional fish or wild game. Black coffee for breakfast and lunch. He woke up at 4AM He napped a bit after lunch Stayed up until 11PM He died in his sleep at near 90 Working most every day He avoided doctors He didn’t talk a lot I miss him terribly
Mine was very similar, a horticulturalist who raised his vegetables. He ate similar to yours and even puffed on a pipe for decades and lived till 92. God bless you grandpa Ray I miss you so much. ❤❤
I'm 59 years old. I have avoided bread and sugar since I was a teenager. All of my family members are diabetic except I. My family would criticize me for not feeding my children sweets. I was too strict and tasteless. Now, my family avoids sugars and breads. As a matter a fact, I don't even look my age. A blessing!
I'm 57, i eat crap all day - not a diabetic. I see a lot of fit younger people with diabetes. Even sports people? who eat salads. I also do not look my age. I used to exercise a lot from 20-40 years. Jogging. My diet is far worse than my father, who had diabetes. So what is the factor? He did not eat bread? i eat masses of it. He never ate cake? There are studies? that say if you ingest two minerals. You might not trigger diabetes. Found in beans. But who can say? What's the rate of diabetes in Mexico? is it higher than the USA? Or is the beans thing a falsehood. My doctor has looked at me and expects me to be on medication? they seem spooked? if you are not on medications? as if it was mandatory. Veggies are associated with oxalates. So feeding people veggies instead of sweets will just trigger other problems. Plants have defences. They are living things. a nettle will attack you? rhubarb juice can kill you in a day. swallowing smoothies is basically the fastest way to a syndrome.
@@cynthiagreer645 that's funny, all the skinny people get brain issues? Alzheimer.and cancer. they look like twigs? famously Audrey Hepburn, who ate like a sparrow. While fat people eat what they want and die of heart attacks and diabetes. There is no winner? My old Dad ate the same Scottish diet as me. He lived to 82. And a superfit Marvin Hagler died at age 60. You cannot win. one BAD SALAD? with many sprays. will give you a syndrome. If you have access to your own farm? you can eat ORGANIC. but I talked to a grocer. I asked what veg he had which was organic? and he said there is no way to know? As i wanted to make fermented veg in jars. You are gambling that the food on your plate is sound. Eat veg? Oxalates get you. Eat meat? It might be something else. NITRIC oxide is also a factor. There is NO SAFE ZONE. probably the safest food is a mars bar? as they do not want to get sued. Nuts i believe keep your spine healthy. But a ballet dancer last week died when she ate a cookie contaminated by a nut? so one man's food is another man's poison.
Thsts great mam ! Only recently we people understood the dangers of sugar and bakary! In india 40 % of population is vegetarian, I too , so people eat lots of sweat dishes insteat of meat so india is now the diabetic capital of world! Thanks mam !
As a recovered Type-2 Diabetic who had high cholesterol, triglycerides, high blood pressure, and who was severely obese at 495lbs, I found Keto (healthy fats only), that seemed to be a miracle after eating low calorie low fat diets and exercising had failed me and caused me to keep putting on the pounds. Now I understand why it worked after watching this video, and I also learned that not all glucose is bad like I thought. 7 years later I'm medication free for all the health problems I described above, I never counted a calorie, just ate whole foods that were low on the glycemic index and all my health problems and obesity went away as if it were magic!
@@dallysinghson5569 My total cholesterol, LDL and Triglycerides all went down on Keto. I lost weight, lowered my A1C to normal range and was taken off blood pressure meds as I returned to a more normal weight (my BP was getting too low). I've lost 84 lbs of fat and gained 14 lbs of muscle over a 3 year period. Keto works, and while I've heard tales of people seeing Total Cholesterol go up, most I know that are on it didn't see it happen to them. I'm adding carbs back into my diet now and I'm not gaining any weight and feel even better now while maintaining all of my health metrics.
Even though I'm not too overweight, 5-10 lbs over, I'm a type-2 diabetic who is taking metformin. I've been eating a keto diet for about a month, and my glucose numbers are way down from what it was prior to a "normal" range. Low carb, high good fats, and intermittent fasting seem to be working. I'm praying to get off the metformin soon. Congratulations on your recovery.
Amen! Excellent points and I am so happy for you. Keep telling people. Our government has been pushing meat out of our diets! Also, let's all find small local farmers to help provide our nutrition.
I work in a wellness department, and it is amazing how people come in for supplements Doctors have suggested and they never seem to explain the connection between calcium, vitamin D3, and K2 for proper utilization of the calcium. Phosphorous is never mentioned either. I appreciate this info very much. I work where I do because I want to help people. I look around and see how sick the population is and know there has got to be a better way. Education of the general public is so needed, but Doctors are the ones that really need to be educated.
He stated not being aware of k connection... which i respect. Would love to see how he would process this information www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4566462/#:~:text=Most%20important%2C%20through%20its%20activation,associated%20with%20increased%20calcium%20intake.
Please tell me which study shows the relation of Vit. K2 levels and putting Calcium in the right place??? One of the chief Endocrinologist at our University Clinic denying that there is a basic evidence for this mechanism. Thank you!
Key Points: 🔑 - Insulin resistance is a major problem affecting many people today. 😣 - Insulin resistance leads to chronic metabolic diseases. 🤒 - Mitochondrial dysfunction underlies insulin resistance and metabolic diseases. 🔋 - Sugar, especially fructose, damages mitochondria. 🍬 - Fructose inhibits enzymes needed for mitochondrial function. 🚫 - Dietary fat quality impacts mitochondrial health. 🥑 - Radiation also causes mitochondrial dysfunction. 🤢 - Obesogens like air pollution harm mitochondria. 🚗 - Amino acids like tryptophan are low in vegan diets. 🌱 - Fiber feeds gut bacteria and maintains gut barrier. 🍎 - Added sugars on labels indicate processed foods to avoid. 🛑 - Eat mostly whole, unprocessed foods to optimize health. 🥗 - Focus on metabolic health, not nutrition or food science. 🧪 - Keep insulin low by limiting sugar and refined carbs. 📉 - A pescatarian diet may be ideal for overall health. 🐟 - Mitochondrial dysfunction leads to insulin resistance and metabolic disease. ⚠️ - Fructose inhibits AMPK, the cell's fuel gauge and energy sensor. 🛑 - Fructose also increases uric acid, which inhibits fat burning. 📉 - Glucose actually increases mitochondrial function unlike fructose. 📈 - Fruit contains fiber which slows fructose absorption. 🍎 - Juicing removes fiber, increasing fructose absorption. 🧃 - Added sugars and refined carbs spike insulin. 📈 - High insulin causes fat storage and metabolic disease. 🍩 - Fatty liver is now extremely common, driven by sugar. 🍺 - Saturated fats are not all the same nutritionally. 🥓 - Dairy saturated fat may actually be beneficial. 🥛 - Trans fats are purely detrimental and should be avoided. 🚫 - Omega-6 fats from oils promote inflammation. 🌽 - Glycemic load, not index, indicates a food's insulin impact. 📊 - Focus on whole, high fiber foods to control insulin. 🥕
And he co-published (?) On this matter for world economic forum ( remember klaas swaap) at 44:35 forum...? And he immediately must run our health.. interesting
Money runs the US gov't and the food companies are money. The US will never be healthy bcs it will never treat garbage pro inflammatory 'food' like tobacco. I will pay for everyone else's soda/juice/cheetoz addiction until I'm dead, or become an expat somewhere.
Dr Lustig sounded the alarm bell that woke me up last November. I've now brought my A1C down from 6.8 to 4.9 and lost nearly 100lbs. My health has become my top priority. Thank you Dr. Lustig, you saved my life!
Just know that A1C doesn't pick up fructose from fruit or galactose from dairy. All simple sugars glycate (coat) the blood cells and cause damage. There is no test that tests for those sugars.
@@jjnelson2855have you tried Dr Fuhrman's Nutritarian diet ? It's an aggressive plant based diet. No processed foods, no sugars or salt. You drop 10 lbs pounds within a week but that's mostly water weight.
I cut out all processed foods, eliminated most carbs except those in beans and vegetables, started fasting between 6:30pm and 12:00pm, cut calories to 1500 per day or less, started exercising mainly walking and biking.
As a recently retired nursing professor, I say - kudos for interviewing this brilliant guest. I took many “nutrition” classes in my master’s program. Never took a metabolic health course. Wish I did! Every medical practitioner needs to hear this gentleman, this wise informed gentleman.
@@ellengarrett5396 The answer could be long. For one, He used a trick I've been criticizing the last few years. He said "Insulin makes fat". Then he made a leap in logic to "Insulin makes YOU fat". (Edit: I got that quote wrong, he said "More Insulin ... more fat". Not only is this a misrepresentation of how insulin works, and an over-simplification, it's factually incorrect that "Insulin makes people fat". I have a fitting video where I show the 2 sides of the argument, and the contrast: "The true cause of DIABETES vs Disinformation. Redundant Insulin" And another short video with more detail. Once you hear this logic, you'll see why Robert sounds like a scammer. "How to regulate Blood Sugar, eating BIG CARBS for a Happier 2023"
@@Intense_Cloudit’s hard to post links to RU-vid. They are usually censored, mostly with shadowbanning, so the censored user doesn’t know about it. In any case, I didn’t hear Lustig take the claimed leap. Timestamp?
I could listen to Dr. Lustvig all day long. I love his measured, organized approach to educating us. I am a retired RN and this is an amazing educational experience!
Holy moly. The best explanation of the cause of diabetes, and insulin resistance, I've ever seen. This episode should have 100 million views. Dr. Lustig rocks
@@msullivan3531 Not really. He mentioned mitochondria, but then never got into it. He also pointed to some culprits: ultra processed food, added fructose, some kinds of fats. In short, eat whole food. I have diabetes with glucose usually kept within the normal range. Still it is such a big trouble.
Partially agree with Your statement, only I mean dr. Robert Lustig is a GLOBAL HERO. I'm from Slovenia, Europe, thanks to his YT lectures and interviews I reversed seriously dangerous diabetes type 2 since 26.July 2017, when I was 58+ old, had 127,5 kg with 1,78m height and 35,7 mmol/L = 642.8 mg/dl glucose in blood. I was also BLIND for a several days. Since then I reached 93,0 kg on 1st Jan 2023. I've got 7-8 kg back, because of stresses when I was regullarly retired without previously informations from employer and retirememt office. But now it is OK, stresses GONE! Also I čak drive a car and my vision is L 0,75 and R 1,00 (have keratoconus since I was 20y.o. Greetings from Slovenia to everybody...
I have literally watched every nutrition video on RU-vid over the past 5 years. This man is a true genius. I have never learned more on a biochemistry level than listening to Dr. Lustig. Please have him on more - Please, we ALL need the hard science to be explained like he does. Nobody does this better than Dr. Lustig - he is a one of a kind gifted Star Seed: He is the Future of Medicine.
@@buckmurdock2500perhaps because he is presenting info that doctors have never heard, none of them are required to take a nutrition class, and they are none of them biochemists
I so enjoy Dr. Lustig. If I had him as a professor in med school 50 years ago, I could have been able to save more diabetics. But we know much more now than then!!❤
I am a doctor and I am really impressed by your knowledge and your research if you really educate doctors working with patients metabolism you can achieve a lot for humanity
I’m a family nurse practitioner, and I have read Dr. Lustig’s book and watched several of his interviews. He has tremendously helped me help others in this quest for fixing altered metabolic health. I just tell people the truth now regarding sick care and simplify the science Lustig brings in his book to my patients.
This Doctor has gotten it all wrong. The basics just does not add up . People always had diabetes it was simply not diagnosed. The prevalence is so high because people are not dying young anymore but living longer and longer. People had diabetes before sugar was invented.
I originally thought there was no way I could watch this for over an hour. Found myself fascinated by all of the knowledge that Dr Lustig brought to us in a way it could be understood. Enjoyable watch!!
Every single second of this interview is extremely dense with useful info and so clearly explained. You don’t want to miss any bit of this. Amazing job!
Love, love, love Dr. Lustig's work! I was diagnosed with cirrhosis from fatty liver. I have eliminated all sugars and processed foods out of my diet. My ALT & AST numbers and my A1C are all back within normal ranges and am losing weight. I fully expect to reverse this, am reading about others who have reversed cirrhosis by doing this. This is such important information for everyone!
Such a well run and presented interview. The host respects the guest by giving complete freedom and the guest is an absolute expert in the field and the contents are very articulated. This is exactly how interview should be run.
Jesse, it is so nice to listen to a podcast conducted by a host who knows how to interview - which is a guided conversation. Your questions were well considered, timed and helped to illuminate a complex topic and showcase Dr. Listig's vast knowledge. Thank you!
I never totally understand how if insulin is the problem how do you get off it when your Dr. Has ordered so many units bid? I feel bad every time I give him(my husband) his inj. But afraid to not give it.
@@gladyssmith5505 Gladys, the complete cycle is : constant blood glucose spikes due to food intake cause hyperinsulinemia (permanent high levels of insulin), which causes insulin resistance of the cells (insulin is less and less effective). Taking drugs to make the pancreatic bêta cells produce more insulin or injecting insulin when the pancreatic bêta cells don’t produce insulin anymore, is then required to make sure the excess blood glucose from dietary intake gets removed from the blood as any excess blood glucose must be removed from blood. But this does not address the root cause of the problem, the goal is to reverse insulin resistance. Your husband must continue receiving his insulin injections until his blood glucose levels get normalized and he becomes insulin sensitive again, which can be achieved with a low insulin secretion diet and some other lifestyle strategies. Dr. Morgan Nolte is a specialist in that field and provides useful information on how to overcome insulin resistance and normalize blood glucose levels on her RU-vid channel and website : ru-vid.com/group/PL5_RBZm7ejTvagqLrmlVdqnM28OyKdkAW&si=qz1_rpNwLXx-M4JS Also, metabolic health expert Benjamin Bikman, PhD, has published the book « Why We Get Sick » which is focused on insulin resistance, what it is, its causes and how to fight it. I would recommend you and your husband read it. You can also find several interviews of him of similar quality as this one from Dr. Lustig on RU-vid. Hope this will help.
@@JaXuun Search RU-vid for 'ken berry proper human diet'. Look for other doctors on the topic in the suggested videos over on the right. Start slow. Increase 'clean'* meat portions to arrive at about 12 to 16 ounces and cut back portions of veggies and carbs (potatoes, rice, noodles, etc.) to reach zero of both after a couple weeks. That will give your gut a chance to adapt. Then eat nothing but Beef (fatty meats - ruminant prefered including liver and other organs (ground into hamburger meat)), Butter (any animal based fat), Eggs, Multi-mineral salt (I like Redmond's Natural Salt, some like one of the sea salts) and water. * Clean means no other ingredients or breading. Salt generously to taste and add a bit of pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, etc. if your body tolerates it.
This interview is one of the best and most useful I've ever seen. Dr. Lustig articulation of the difference between 'food science,' 'nutrition' and 'metabolic health' is a paradigm changer. The specific consequence of fructose as a mitochondrial toxin leaves me amazed but not surprised that information is not universal common knowledge at this point. Thanks so much.
2021 I was dying. I snapped up Dr. Robert Lustig"s book METABOLICAL after running accross his research papers and citations. I was desperately reading publications to save my life. I cannot stress more to read his book, he has hundreds of references, that comprise an entire book of its own. I knew after reading his book that I had mitochondria dysfunction. I immediately went to an elimination diet to understand what foods I had an intolerance of. I dropped ALL meds. I read hundreds of research papers, got out my biochem book. While family members died around me. I lived. This man saved my life. Other doctors such as Dr.Thomas Seyfried, Dr. Berry, Dr.Bikman, Dr. Baker, Dr. Jason Fung, Dr. Kiltz, Dr.Palmar, Dr. Jordan Peterson, Dr Peter Attia, Dr. Paul Mason and others have given me a comprehensive education on molecular health. My picture was taken in Nov 2019, one month before I got Covid for the first time Dec 2019. I am the first Covid Longhauler put into the Program at Scripps Torrey Pines Hospital that was not a healthcare worker or doctor. Was forced to have the jab, ended up in the ER. Have documentation adverse reaction to the vaccine caused a massive inflammatory reaction that caused multiple tumors, some of which went cancerous. I was shocked how so many doctors did not know what mitochondria health was. I started emailing medical science research papers to my Health Care Team. They thanked me! I worked very hard to educate myself while I struggled, while 3 family members died of metabolic dysfunction and Covid, while 5 other family members died from type2 diabetes or the attending issues like amputation and cardiac arrest. Now I am on a mission. I just was to spread the word of how to correct metabolic dysfunction and help others to realize they do not have to live miserable malnutritioned mitochondria dysfunctional lives.
FYI Dr. Lustig is a professor and encourages his students to STUDY and do research on your own. So. Where does Carnitine come from? What does he say about Carnitine and its importance? Look it up. This will tell you why, though he states he tries to remain somewhat unbiased so as to not get into the crossfire of vegans and carnivores, he is sure to bring up the essential fact of Carnitine.
Hi Cynthia,did you do research on the jab aswell? Being forced to take one is against humans rights.But happened allover the world. Hope you are taking care of yourself,goodluck!
Probably the best video I have seen on this subject. Instead of just talking about what is bad, it would be nice if these experts put together a hypothetical meal plan with sourced products to let us know how we can eat clean meals optimized for our bodies. An app that is a collection of no-no food products or that can also scan a food product and let you know if it is safe would be a wonderful invention for humanity as well. End-users can't always be lost in the details. We need an intermediary who can simplify the complexity for those of us who don't have the time to do it ourselves.
I agree. I think we're going to have to make our own list based on what he's saying. There is someone who has broken down by the talk by category in the comments for reference. Sugar in all it's forms are not for the pre-diabetic or, diabetic.
Someone already did! His name was Michael Thurmond. And he created the “Blue Print to Success.” He literally was going around the USA, changing lives. Unfortunately, he was struck by a car (at the prime of his life) and you NEVER heard anything about him OR his product again! When I used his plan, I lost 60 lbs AND Diabetes, with so much ease, it was Unbelievable. Everyone who knew me, asked how I accomplished it. I had given the plan away, 3x. It can NO longer be purchased ….. however I have recently seen it sold, on Amazon or EBay. * I do need to say this; It is “Literally” Impossible NOT to lose weight on this plan. The ONLY way to fail ….. is by NOT following it. The portions MUST be followed, no matter if you are not hungry. THIS “is” the key 🔑

Dr. Lustig essentially told you what to eat. Whole foods! Stop eating out of a bag or a box. Avoid the ultra-processed foods. Whole foods for example: fresh fish, steak, chicken, pork, apple, orange, broccoli, asparagus, etc....If it has a label it's been processed in some way. Generally, if you stick to the outside aisles of your grocery store that is where the whole foods are. All the crap is typically on the inside aisles. I personally buy my eggs locally as well as my beef, because I know who it's been raised by and how it's been treated. Stop eating out! Talk about horrible food and fast food especially. You'll never reduce the omega-3/omega-6 ratio eating this way.
Dr. Lustig has an exceptional ability to present valuable scientific information in a way that the average nutritional health fan can fully understand. Folks, make notes! This is amazing stuff.
A lots of valuable information, the bottom line is to apply this knowledge in daily life and enjoy the benefits of meticulous research. Big kudos to Dr, Lustig.
Besides the scientific knowledge, the doctor's communication is elegantly eloquent. The moderator is brilliant as well. Top-Top-noch interview. Thanks!
If we could only get the bureaucrats that Issue food pyramids Out of the way and contract doctor lustig to design the nutrition and health curriculum in every single high school that elects to adopt it, then we/USA, would be much better off in a few years or a decade.
When I was 55 the doctor told me I was insulin resistant and would need to go on medication. I told him I was going to change my diet first to see if this helped. I become vegan and both my insulin levels and cholesterol levels went back to normal. I eat lots of vegetables, fruits legumes nuts and I still enjoy the occasional sweet treat. I am now 61 and going strong 😊
@@jimmiers8218it is absolutely necessary to give up meat if it results in decrease brutality and killing of sentinet beings that are much better than humans and if you think otherwise you are a narcissistic..
I had a similar problem, I gave up eating carbohydrates including pasta, bread, cereal's, fruit, alcohol and vegetable oils and ate a keto (mainly carnivore) diet with just occasional veg and salad. My blood pressure now is normal, I lost weight and inflammation in my joints (which troubled me for years) disappeared within a few weeks. It seems that not consuming sugar and carbs is the answer rather than not eating meat? I am now 67 and feel better than I did in my 50`s.
I think what benefitted more for the both of you was eating less processed food, while eating more whole foods. I’m not an expert, just a fan listener of nutrition. I’ve heard that Mediterranean, vegan and keto, as long as they come from whole foods, are the best to reduce metabolic diseases. Both keto and vegan diets usually require supplements or a lot of dedication to make sure all the vitamins&co are met. In another video that I saw (as soon as I’ll find it I will cite it) said that the best diet of the three is the one that is sustainable for the individual, in terms of availability of whole fresh food in their region, their economic possibilities, and the enjoyability they have in preparing and eating it (no use if you give up because you absolutely despise it, after all even the soul wants its part :3)
This Dr. has single-handedly help me shift my diet away from sugar. I’m getting better and grateful for this video. Be transformed by the constant renewal of your mind.
Dr. Lustig is a phenomenon…a brilliant man with an admirable cadence in delivering technical and actionable details. Thanks Jesse for letting him teach us through your interview and letting him speak w/o unnecessarily interrupting him.
Amazing that you caught this “monster” of a doctor, what a real talent among the other sort of average doctors out there. Hope all doctors go through this training multiple times ❤ This should be the most viral video among all the health conscious people 🎉
I'm a 39 year old female. I had open heart surgery at 38 and started dialysis the day after. I had poorly controlled diabetes since I was 17. But I believe I had it at an even younger age. I've always felt unenergetic. I've developed psoriasis as well as hydradenitus supperativa. I've lost partial hearing on my right ear due to tinnitus. It's quite strange how people like me don't take our health seriously until the worst happens. Take care of your health people because it SUCKS having to be on dialysis for the rest of your life.
He just warned against fasting but let me tell you it saved my life--twice. At 20 I had cystic acne, asthma, and that horrific supperativa thing. Juice fasting and fruit fasting cured it. Now I am peculiarly fat-sensitive with an extreme "greasy skin" syndrome. I lived on close to "vegan extreme' for years finally determined healing tissue injuries required some flesh foods. Put on Retin-A to quell the excess oily skin I had a reaction that blew into unbelievable 'plaque psoriasis/atopic dermatitis/? as the derms threw oral topical and injected steroids at it. Then I followed the science of Dr. Valter Longo and healed my skin in 3 days of fasting but I kept going for a week. Fasting is nature's own cure. MDs are hysterically against it because it blows up their model. Look up Pharmacist Ben Fuchs he's online has videos and updates at CriticalHealthNews.com
Well conducted interview. Lustig has spoken about sugar so often that I feel I know his normal spiel. But you were able to have him expound on things I hadn’t heard before.
From time to time God throws a big blessing my way. This interview is one such blessing. I never watch these videos twice. I will watch this one again, and maybe three times. Thanks to The Lord, thanks to Dr. Lustig and thanks to Mr. Chappus.
I totally agree. Sometimes God does throw information on our way that we need and this is one of them as a struggling diabetic, anyway… Great show and I will be watching it a couple of times… Keep on rocking.
It is a pleasure to listen to Dr, Lustig. I am so amazed at his eloquence ( coming from the vast knowledge of the subject), that I could not help listening to this podcast many times over. Jesse is doing a wonderful job in moderation. Well done and thanks to both of you. Amazing !!
When he talked about Calcium and Vit D I expected him to mention the benefits of Vit K2 in regards to taking Calcium from the bloodstream to the bones, especially because of his clinical experience.
Fantastic interview, Dr. Lustig hit on some really important health issues if we are to remain or regain our health. Mitochondria health was a huge Eureka moment for me, its not just spiked insulin levels but what causes higher insulin levels is impaired respiratory health of the mitochondria. This interview should be mandatory viewing in every classroom that teaches health and fitness.
That’s fantastic, congratulations, I need to do the same, I’m pre diabetes as well. I grew up in the 40s, I only knew of one person with diabetes that was a young 10 year old girl, that was most likely type one diabetes, poor girl. We ate meat and 3 veg a day, rarely ate out side the home. 🤷♀️
@@carolmartin3028Keto is extremely easy to do it incorrectly. If you didn't experience any benefits for it I can almost guarantee you were doing it wrong. One key question to ask is, did you buy and eat foods labeled "keto" at the store? If you did, you were almost certainly not doing keto.
This guy is amazing, and makes the message more tangible and easy to understand, the summation near the end is the crux of the problem. Essentially we are what we eat, this guy needs to be heard by many politicians, medical experts etc.. Great interview extracting information at a user level.
Dr. Lustig is more than a national hero, if only everybody could see this podcast, it would dramatically change their views on nutrition. It is obvious that the subject becomes highly technical, but is worth every second. I forwarded this podcast to my endocrinologist that is following me for my diabetes type 2, but I learned so much, I believe is life changing. Jesse, thank you very much to you and Dr. Lustig for this superb podcast.
On a positive note. Thank you for passing on decades of accumulated knowledge to us so we can jump in after all the incredibly daunting work has been done . 10 out of 10
@@valdasdr8432 Dr Lustig is talking about the US food labels. I'm Australian and some Aussie foods have labels due to our laws, but they don't reflect US laws because we don't live there.
Dr. Lustig needs to train every other health professional to get the word out to their patients to make them healthier. Great information . Thanks for sharing.

incredible interview. Better than some entire college courses. The interviewer kept asking the absolute best questions that clarified every little detail. Awesome.
Wow! Out of all the many health folks I follow, Dr. Lustig is the best. Out of the thousand talks I’ve watched on this and other platforms this is truly top of that extensive list. Thank you both sincerely.
@@johnholkham2420I just checked tomato sauce at Tesco's online shop. I want tomatoes in there. That's all. Well, the first thing that comes up: Tiptree Tomato Sauce, 310gr. 2nd ingredient on the list, right after tomatoes: sugar. It contains 31gr per 100gr!!! 1/3 of it's content is sugar 🤦♀️😵
Sauce for spaghetti should have several ingredients and many old recipes call for some sugar. If just a form of Tomatoes like a can of diced tomatoes, then go for a different brand.
Well said, Doctor, at halfway through this talk. Thank you for breaking down "food science", "nutrition", and "metabolic health" for me. I've recently come to respect my metabolic condition, which needs rescuing from the Big Food Industry.
Glad you heard the talk! He's an absolute genius for sure. Hope you know how important strength training + cardio exercise at home is! Basics like daily walks, squats, pushups, curls, overhead press and planking go extremely far to reverse your aging 😎

Was recently diagnosed with pre diabetes with fatty liver. My whole world just changed. Knew I had leaky gut, and fatty liver but never insulin resistance. Working on my food intake .. a month now, on meds ... and a healthy raw diet Feeling better. Learning everyday. Thank you for this video!!
I am 66 and use no pharmaceutical products - prescribed or over the counter for any reason whatsoever. I used to be morbidly obese according to two medical doctors. I used to have a fatty liver condition. I used to have pre-diabetic symptoms. I used to have edema - swelling in the feet and lower legs from excess fluids. That edema sometimes caused serious infections called cellulitis that would require hospital stays and intravenous antibiotics. I used to have COPD symptoms from decades of smoking. I used to have occasional high blood pressure and other chronic health problems for decades. All of these are gone. And they are gone because of intermittent fasting and eating high quality locally produced real foods. For just over two years, i have been eating just one good meal every day that i prepare myself. I avoid sugars, all highly processed junk 'foods' and excessive carbs - no breads, cereals, pastas, etc. I am healthier and stronger than i was 10 years ago. It is almost like aging in reverse! Barring any serious injuries, there is no need to see any medical doctors. I have no plans to see any in the foreseeable future.
@@tonyprice2256Wow congratulations on turning your health and life around. I have to find a primary care doctor soon because my insurance company wants me to get a doc. How I would love to know what or how you do you get away with not seeing a doctor? Thankyou so much in advance! Also can you please share what you eat in one meals thanks again! ❤🙏🏻
@@NansGlobalKitchen may I share what I eat avoiding carbs and sugar? For example Broccoli with scrambled eggs and bacon. Or cooked cauliflowers cut into little grains as "rice" substitution combined with grass feed meat or sausages. There is plenty of keto recipes here on YT. I always have eggs and avocado when I get hungry instead of bread or pasta what I had before when I was getting hungry.
I've watched this twice and I'm back the third time for specific information to share with family. Thank you Jessie for the outline with time line for the show.
First time we've seen your broadcast, and Dr. Lustig has enlightened my wife and I as to how the body processes the food we consume. This is an outstanding presentation. Many thanks and we will be watching again.
As a family, we have always eaten butter and eggs plus fruit and vegetables I really like this interview, Dr.Lustig explains this difficult topic so succinctly and clearly
I hope you understand why the fruit is not healthy. You should choose wisely and eat two servings per day or less. Ditto many vegetables, especially those loaded with sugar like corn (GMO ugh) and peas. Remember that all carbs convert to sugars which you don't need sugar for good health. Learn about ketones and the ketosis metabolic pathway.
@graveseeker Thanks but I've been studying nutrition for 40 odd years now plus phases of digestion re fats and sugars I was a nurse when we had nutritional training plus A level chemistry
@@carolynellis387 I'll say this as tactfully as I can...like doctors discussing nutrition, I do not consider your education relevant (complete). I believe that you are educated as they wished you to be educated. I encourage you to become as educated on the carnivore diet and on more recent research on the subject as you were on your "Mediterranean Diet". If you have done that, explain your support for fruit and vegetables, especially those highly modified foods we eat today that are enhanced to feature sugar in its various forms, as a significant portion of a proper human diet.
Very helpful I’m sure my doctor wouldn’t understand this talk . It’s what I’ve listened to so many times before in these videos without any conclusion . Now what can I eat that doesn’t kill me . Yes this guy knows some great names with no answers . What are you going to eat tomorrow after watching this long drawn out video . Diet has become such a complication that most people are completely confused.
@@user-ix9wx6ms9vthe trick is to be mindful and aware. Really think about how you feel and what you've eaten. If you suspect a food is causing issues, try cutting it out for a period and see how you feel. If it's better for a while but then worse try seeing if you're still getting the nutrients you may have been getting from the other food you had a bad reaction too. Substitute that with something else. If no difference, add that food back and watch yourself for a few days. Eventually you'll start to realize what causes you issues or not. Some issues are less obvious than others. Especially when it comes to lack of enough of a certain nutrient. Cutting out won't help unless you replace that food with something better. The best place to start is with variety. And also checking for food intolerances and allergies. For example if you're worried tou don't eat enough iron or that vegetables will have anti nutrients that chelate the nutrients or whatever, simply get your iron levels tested. If they're fine, then it isn't an issue for you. You just have to take it a step at a time.
I used to be a huge carb eater. I was hungry all the time. Could never eat enough unless I was bloated and sick. Now I eat much much lower amounts of carbs and mainly proteins and fats for calories and I only need one main meal a day with a couple little snacks. As long as I eat enough at the end of the day I have energy all through the next day til evening especially if I'm sedentary. If hiking or doing physical work I need stuff earlier to convince my body it's ok to burn calories. Now that I'm mostly low carb for so long and feel good, I can immediately tell what too many carbs do to me. I start to get hungrier and hungrier even tho I'm eating more and more. Bread also makes me a twisting feeling in my stomach. Pasta and bagels are the worst. Sourdough bread is almost ok I thought maybe it was a gluten thing but idk. Bread products and sugar do it real bad to me. I may just need to try other complex carb sources.
Mercola and others were talking about this 20 yrs ago and I understood it based on basic anatomy and physiology. I always wondered why others weren't getting it.
OMG! My family has always cooked with olive oil and I was taught not to heat it beyond the smoking point because it becomes bitter and ruins the taste of your food. I had no idea the repercussions consuming over-heated olive oil has on your health. Thank you for posting such an educational video!
@@angelwings7930two things. You wouldn’t put the oil in the boiling water to prevent the pasta from sticking together. You would put the oil on after straining the pasta when it’s dry. The oil would be basically room temperature. Second, if you time it right it’s better to just avoid adding oil to the noodles all together. The oil prevents the pasta from soaking in all that yummy gravy/sauce you just made. Try to time your noodles so you’re platting your food and pouring your sauce over it right after you strain your pasta. I do this all the time and it makes a big difference. Just don’t make too much pasta and you’ll be Golden! 🍝🍝🍝
@@angelwings7930 Pasta is a bad food choice in the first place as are all grain based 'foods'. They provide no real nutrition and are nothing but carbs that your body converts into sugar and eventually into body fat.
Thank you very much for asking questions that the lay person needs clarification on. Your interview technique is brilliant & Dr. Lustig is amazing too.
agree that’s 100% how people are supposed to eat, and from there you pick your macros according to your goals, high protein if lifting weights, low carb if fixing insulin resistance , etc.. it’s easier said than done but 100% possible
Incredible interview! Dr. Lustig is so knowledgable about this topic and has an amazing ability to describe the process of what is going on biochemically and physiologically.
Hi Jesse, thank you for being an amazing interviewer, and for the extremely valuable content on your channel! You are the best interviewer on the topic of health because you have extensive health knowledge, you ask the most important questions, and allow your guests to talk uninterrupted. I enjoyed every minute of your interview!
THIS IS ONE OF THE ALL TIME ...BEST... HEALTH INTERVIEWS I HAVE WATCHED ON YOU TUBE AND I HAVE WATCHED HUNDREDS NATUROPATH HERE - OWNED WELLNESS CLINICS FOR 20 YEARS JESSE - IN MY OPINION YOU ARE THE BEST - LOVE THE WAY YOU PROBE FOR THE AUDIENCE IN WHAT WE NEED AND WANT TO KNOW... I FELT YOU CONSTANTLY HAD US IN MIND ... IN YOUR DIRECTION GREAT ... ABSOLUTELY GREAT PRESENTATION ... THANK YOU TO BOTH OF YOU !!
Having clogged my arteries 65 percent and have known for years that too much omega 6 always made my prostate swell up and make it impossible to urinate.This doctor is a blessing and I follow your channel now for a few months now.Thankyou.
@@bscsmscs1578 Not sure,last time I had that test was too long ago.Have had prostate infections at least twice in my 40' s,at 78 I have learned to stay away from the Omega 6 oils..But COVID lock downs got me eating to many burgers because of laziness.
PLEASE look at the Asian standard of using a Tablespoon of Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth in water daily. No side effects for this 1,000 years. Cleans my art..... in a week. So I tell people by a month. B-P ok at day 7 on me. Please keep this link and report back results if you do a health challenge on it. I do 7 or 10 days for any challenge.
An excellent interview chocked full of very important insights. We really need more people like Dr. Lustig who have a comprehensive understanding of complex topics like this.
This guy knows his profession. He’s brought forth data and summarized it so as to make a major difference in my diet and overall health. It’s often been said that metabolic are key to insulin resistance, but no one I’ve read digs into this as much as your guest. Hopefully endocrinologists will also bring these things out. Of course, they wouldn’t be selling drugs for big pharma…
I went to an endocrinologist for pre diabetes. He told me there is no fixing it, that it is just part of who I am. I was in shock when he said that and I left.
the same happened to me 10 years ago.. Went on a diet with supplements, my diabetes went away in 4 months. never came back after that.. diabetes prevention is and easy principle (however hard to control yourself when on a diet 🙈) - stop overeating enourmous amounts of carbs/sugars/fruits. I thought I didn't eat much sugars when my naturopath told me to go on a diet. She gave me a task to count all the carbs/sugars that I consumed throughout the day, I was shocked to learn I ate over 200g of carbs/sugars on everyday basis. Of course, regular doctors told me it was not because of sugar and I was "born this way" and it was genetic or nobody knows why it happens and there's no cure blah blah blah blah, but HEY! here's your metformin priscription, you gotta start taking it asap and for the rest of your life! - no thanks. 😂
@@xmyxymxisn't that the biggest load of crap you ever done heard lol. Good for you though. Hope you're strength training w/ cardio too so you can achieve full metabolic health! 👍💪
Great info Dr. Lustig--- Your story of the Arctic study reminded me of a study of the Eskimos many years ago that was initiated by the fact that there was virtually no arthritis among them. They found that the wale blubber and fish oil kept it away,but at the same time it prevented the absorbtion of calcium. That`s why they had no arthritis,but no teeth. They also found the reverse. That too much calcium will cancel out fish oil and wale blubber nutrients.
Professor Rob Lustig ages like a wonderful wine. Better all the time. May he live forever. The world needs him (to fix the damage initiated by Ancel Keys).
Another great video with Dr. Lustig, one of my favorite health explainers. I wonder if he could give us an overview on the 8 different ways of categorising fats? 1) By saturation 2) By chain length 3) By essentiality 4) By the Number of double bonds 5) By Position of unsaturation 6) By source 7) By Biological function 8) By combinations of the 7 previous ones When we understand this, we get a lot of clarity as different people use different frameworks. Dr. Lustig uses a good to bad categorization, mixing classifications.
Dr. Lustig said in the interview he classifies himself not as a pescatarian, but rather a flexatarian, meaning he eats lots of fish but also meat. @@faithahora
Wonderful. I was vegetarian from 25. I am now 78 and added fish back about 25 years ago when I came to live in Spain. I am rudely healthy. My husband went his own way with beer and meat until he developed type 2 diabetes. Thankfully we reversed it by converting him to my diet! I have always made my own food. I don’t really know what a label is! What a great education tool this is. It ought to be part of education for 16-18 year olds, compulsorily.
There is a lot of knowledge and scenice that is out there but someone needs to unpack, decode and talk to the layman ...dr Lustig is simply one of the best at doing it !!❤
