He sounds south african
What do u mean "safe drug"?? No drug with this many side effects is safe...worst being Alzheimer's risk😮
According to my google search, there is conflicting info about metformin. Some say it protects the brain, others say it raises risk for alzheimer. BEST NOT TO TAKE IT.
I learned yesterday that metformin raises risk for Alzheimer's...i was horrified, so stopped taking it. What really upsets me is this doctor saying it lowers risk..i dont know what to believe anymore.
This was superb! I especially loved Dr. Seiler's sensible rules of thumb. Uncommon common sense.
This made understanding zone 2 a whole lot better without all the complicated numbers and terminologies.
Thank you for this
There really should be a spokesperson who answers our questions.
thxx
Itse not allways dark and cold we have Summers too Midnight sun
In AGE LATER he doesnt say how many mgs he takes...should be more specific. I digress...Hypoxic training (the Buteyko technique), offers HUGE benefits. It boosts red blood cells, allowing you to carry more oxygen and produce more energy with each breath. It is ANTI AGING!
We meet again Africa eventually after 300-400 million years later.
Please someone ask dr Nir if 500mg/day is adequate for anti-aging... bc due to miserable side effects, I can't take higher dose...thanks a lot!
I only take 500mg a day bc of constipation and lack of appetite. Is this enough?
I have stopped taking it.😮
David Sinclair says YES, and i hope to hell he is right bc i have metabolic dysfunctions and in my 70s.
What about Rapamycin? Peter Attia takes it.
Glad this popped in my feed again 7 months after I first watched it when I first started training consistently. I've worked my way up to riding an hour long climb in zone 4. Interesting that the heartrate I naturally average on those efforts is exactly what he mentions here %90 of HR max. Find those efforts to be super beneficial.
This was a really good explanation which will be very practical to use during my workouts. Thank you!
This was great, thank you guys.
I just read the book. He put stevia in the same category as fake sugar. It’s a plant and can be organic also. Don’t see how it be called faked sugar and to be avoided.

So basically, if the healthcare company can get doctors to blow off the patients long enough, then they can avoid paying for a medication or three medication’s for like 20 to 30 years
Exactly. The analogy to thyroid hormones is perfect in my opinion. I will be on it for life if I can. We don’t live in a natural world so I don’t expect we can function optimally with ‘natural’ substances alone
Well, feeling how it began to shrink and eventually disappear within 2 months was so liberating. I followed the steps I mentioned, and within the first 2 weeks the bloating was gone. I simply go'ogled Tilly Strankten's Ovarian Cyst Guide and it's like I hit the feel-good reset button lol.
do we have any further update on this trial
In 2023 you signed a deal with a company called MedNow. They've been implicated in Dalton Tennessee for dumping private medical records out in the open landfills. They abandoned the boxes at their landlord instead of properly disposing of them, and the landlord dumped them when they took on your contract. How do you folks respond?
Whats the recommended dosage?
1,500 mg/d which alas, I can't tolerate. I'm on 500/d.
You you’re saying I’m making this up
So pain is all in the mind? Total BS.
TLDR: Semaglutide medications, such as Ozempic and Wegovy, are revolutionizing obesity treatment and have the potential to significantly improve weight loss and comorbid conditions, but caution is needed in prescribing them due to potential side effects. 00:00 📈 Semaglutide is revolutionizing obesity treatment, with Canada leading the way in recognizing it as a medical condition and emphasizing the importance of genetic factors. 04:39 🧠 Obesity is a treatable medical condition, with advancements in medical therapy and behavioral interventions being crucial for long-term success with anti-obesity medications like semaglutide. 13:54 📌 Semaglutide, marketed as Ozempic and Wegovy, is a medication that helps dampen the desire for food, leading to significant weight loss and improvements in cardiovascular risk factors and comorbid conditions. 20:51 📌 Semaglutide medications are safe and effective for treating significant disease states, with potential benefits for reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke, but physicians need to be cautious about prescribing them too casually due to potential side effects. 26:53 📌 Obesity medicine offers potential to treat leading preventable cause of death, with medications like Ozempic, but long-term treatment and self-regulation skills are necessary for maintaining weight loss. 30:32 📌 Semaglutide medications are not widely covered by insurance, but there is potential for future coverage due to health benefits, and new, more effective anti-obesity medications are predicted to come in the future. 38:59 📊 Semaglutide medications show high efficacy in weight loss and comorbidity improvement, but are only appropriate for obese patients and real world data on their safety and efficacy is still being collected. 44:46 📈 Semaglutide, Ozempic, Wegovy, and Rybelsus are discussed in a popular episode of eat move think, with a focus on weight management and general health advice from Dr. Peter Nord and Dr. David Macklin.
What can I do if I have too much fat in the blood? I mean in that every moment of suffering how can I quickly get the fat out of the blood? I dont get thirsty, I cant eat anything or else i feel really bad. Dizzy, light headed, light sensitivity, headache, vomiting.
90% of the grocery store these days is. In CA they have to label it.
Why metformin is bad Metformin is not what you need! As of today, metformin-based drugs are the basis of practically all treatment methods. However, this is a delusion shared by illiterate patients and doctors. Metformin is a straight path to illness and untimely death. This isn’t treatment. If you come to your doctor with type 2 diabetes and he prescribes treatment based on these drugs, run away from such a doctor immediately. All of these drugs increase blood insulin to critical levels. With this amount of insulin, the blood becomes thick, like condensed milk. In large quantities, insulin causes colossal harm to the body. It literally destroys the liver, kidneys and other excretory organs. Insulin is similar in consistency and action to stomach acid. Imagine what would happen if stomach acid filled your internal organs. It would burn right through them! Elevated insulin levels corrode cells, thereby contributing to their abnormal division, and this is already nothing less than oncology. For this reason, CANCER DEVELOPS IN 28% OF DIABETICS, as statistics show. Plus, it is the high insulin content that leads to the rapid clogging of blood vessels with cholesterol plaques, since insulin-rich blood becomes thick and starts moving slower. As a result, blood vessels become clogged with cholesterol plaques, which in turn leads to pressure surges. Hypertension accompanies 98% of diabetics. Many other problems with the cardiovascular system appear as well. List of threatening consequences of metformin-based therapy: Gastrointestinal disorders (most often diarrhoea, heartburn, belching, stomach ulcers) Hypertension - pressure surges, especially in the evenings, headaches, stuffy ears, waves of fear. Cirrhosis of the liver - the liver becomes a connective tissue and stops purifying the blood, the whole body is filled with toxins Kidney stones due to intensive excretion of salts and sugar Oncological diseases Early death due to destroyed blood vessels Blindness The development of complications, of course, depends on the time and amount of drug intake, as well as on the individual characteristics of a person. If metformin kills, why is it used? Unfortunately, not many doctors today actually care about the health of their patients. I would even go as far as to say they couldn’t care less. They just do their job and get paid for it. They don't care if you get well or not. That’s why without a second thought they prescribe whatever their superiors or the Ministry tell them to. And what they’re told to prescribe are metformin-based drugs, since their sale brings good profits. And it also provides an effect, albeit a temporary one. Such indifference can’t cure diabetes! Patients, as a rule, do not know what consequences await them from the constant use of this drug, and doctors do not find it necessary to talk about it. Treating diabetes with chemically aggressive drugs should be illegal! But type II diabetes can be treated effectively. All you need to do is choose the correct treatment method! Dr. Isa Asah: I often have patients who have been treated with metformin for several years. These are sick people, people who have aged far sooner than they should have.. Still, most often, patients find out they have type II diabetes during a check up. At the same time, up to that point, the patient, as a rule, felt fine and would never have thought that they had high blood sugar. And then they are prescribed metformin with an increased dosage.. As a result, the sugar levels drop, but over time, the person's condition begins to gradually deteriorate. The patient begins to complain of chronic fatigue, obesity, high blood pressure, headaches. Their legs begin to swell, and in the morning so does their face. They feel like bells are constantly ringing in their ears. Fingers go numb and limbs grow cold. Eyesight falls. Their memory deteriorates. The doctors say that it's all because of diabetes. But in fact, it’s all because of insulin! Or rather, because of metformin, which increases the production of hormones to abnormal levels!
STOP the disinformation...Metformin is a wonder drug, with many, many health benefits..do ur research!! Yes, it has side effects, but the benefits of Met far outweigh the risks.
what is a Fischer disc bulge? Is it the same as a disc herniation/slipped disc?

Does a a1c of 5.9 and insulin of 6.4 is considered insulin resistance? I go to a family dr and she told me she suspects I have mody diabetes because my numbers don’t make sense to her. She was expecting higher insulin numbers. Again.. she’s a family dr. Not sure if it’s normal or should I follow up with an endocrinologist. I get susually spikes as high as 175
if i feel liklistening to people talk i would go buy a stupid radio
Is it possible to carry out intervals immediately after work in zone 2? What benefit or what disadvantage? 
Absolutely. Essential, even. Due to the intensity of an interval session, a longer than normal warm-up is needed. It also allows the HR to get to the right level to prepare you for intervals.
Thank you for all the information provided, this is so helpful. I was diagnosed - without any tests- of IBS. I wonder if I really have it if if it’s something else. I don’t have diarrhea, probiotics will sometimes helps with co stillation but I mostly have nausea and pain above the stomach (I believe it’s the colon). Where i’m from, it’s hard to see a doctor, even more a specialist. I’m getting worried if this ‘condition’s as time goes by. It’s seems I never know what will hurt and upset my stomach- and it’s been the case since I had a very bad covid , a few months ago. For me, Covid has change a lot of things. I never got my health back the way it was before. Still working on it and I intend to do so every day God makes.
I’d get a fecal calprotectin test. Look into it - used to rule out IBD
I don’t chance it I just eat crackers until my day off then I eat
24:00 recommended diet to prevent diabetes is the diet that led me to prediabetes. I currently do paleo ketogenic diet to really provide the best anti diabetic and pre diabetic and me reverse my insulin resistance and nafld.
Two weeks into intermittent fasting and restricting UPFs to just 10% of my diet (a treat here or there)and I can already feel the difference! I feel calmer, more energetic, requires less sleep, and better mood. Unbelievable.
Always good to hear Dr. McGill. Just would have liked to hear more about the types of back pain which would benefit from Rucking and the types that does not. .. for example spine instability (based in his book Back mechanics).
My dad has found that using his SAD lamp regularly has greatly reduced symptoms of jetlag. He travels overseas for weeks at a time regularly for work. He was very cheerful just 2 days after his week long trip to Asia.

SOCIAL DYNAMICS IS HUGE. I am 60 year old and dying of loneliness. I have tried over and over to connect with people. I have only had 1 best friend in my life and she dumped me and said " I can't take your Monsters anymore" . I would hope that Social connections would start at elementary school. There is sooooo much to this topic. Learning about oneself. learning to use Non Violent Language. Learning to mediate and have negotiation skills. Learning to accept the things you have in common and in opposite of other people. Can you sit with someone that talks about that subject you dislike? Can you just be with it without letting anger or disgust envelope you? I get easily triggered in conversation and I am one that just freezes or flees if some topic or a personality bothers me. I am living in a campground where people socialize and sometimes share meals. I recently withdrew and just stayed in my van for days on end. Not one person reached out to see if they could do something for me. I finally lifted the hood of my van to try to silent communicate my van needed something. No response for 4 days. I was sinking into darkness. Someone from out of camp responded and offered to make me dinner and charge my battery overnight. That bit of connection and TLC gave me hope and gave me the idea that I was worthy to them. The next day I was up picking up poop in the whole campground. Maybe I am dong it wrong. Instead of thinking about the bigger picture maybe I should just pick up the poop I think my won dog made.? People seem to be so self centered. People don't understand if someone wants to be alone or wants to be approached or needs assistance. I lived in a Mobile Home park and I could swear a lot of those people were dying of lonleyness. In todays culture. People may talk to you if your out in the front yard , but heaven forbid if they knock on your door or ask you for your phone number. Bingo night did not cut it for me. Yes we say we are friends but where is the verb of being a friend. Caring is also a verb in my world. Pleas don't tell me you care. your just really curious. What caring action are you doing to connect with me. I stopped giving so much, because my giving and caring did not end up in it being my turn to receive. Communication, Connection and the idea of thinking of "WE" ought to be toughen our culture from childhood. I think the American Culture needs Social Skills. We are Spirits having a human experience. We are more than our personalities and physical bodies.
Keto. There.

I moved 900 miles southwest it worked pretty well
Him talking about more outwards attention and enjoying the birds and flowers is spot on. Just started with a heart rate monitor a couple weeks ago, that's exactly what I find myself doing. I can also feel when I start to cross that first threshold now. And you absolutely do start scanning systems and focusing internally. Makes sense that focus is a product of that because you are further engaging the CNS and stress response.
