I am so mad! I have been so sick for years! Their treatment for having too much insulin in my system was adding more insulin!! I would always be diabetic if I did what my doctor told me and what the ADA says! I have changed my diet back in January 2024! In that short time I am no longer diabetic and no longer on insulin!! Lost over 55 pounds and I feel so much better!!
Good for you. We must take our health into our own hands. The medical industrial complex is not for our health. Totally misguided. Glad you are doing better.
How in God’s green earth did you lose 55 pounds in two months I’ve been doing keto and/almost carnivore for six months and I have only lost 30 pounds in six months that’s amazing and almost unbelievable
@@dianaBerrybanks1143 man I am so surprised too! It’s still coming off. I didn’t have an exact starting weight, last time I checked I was 265 ish. So I generally figure I was 260 and now I’m as of this morning 204! I don’t/can’t exercise all I changed was intake. I didn’t eat too bad mostly, but yeah I had problems with nutter butters and I love rice. It was brown and wild, but it was rice. So I went carnivore and I never looked back, well I do, but only to know what I won’t ever be again. Believe me I am not sure how it works, I got a scale yesterday to weigh food. Because I wanted to know how much I eat. I cooked 1 pound of ground beef and I put 4 eggs in it with added fat. That’s all I ate yesterday. Also I try to wait to eat till at least 1300 hours if I am going to eat twice. That way I can eat within 4 hours of of each meal and fast 20 hours. I’m never hungry, if I am I eat, even if it’s morning but that rarely happens. I have woke up ready before lol and I still wait a couple hours. Usually that feeling passes. I don’t know why or how it works but I do know I am in ketosis all the time. The level of ketosis may vary, but it’s almost always burning.
@@dianaBerrybanks1143 umm, also keto is the right idea, but a lot of keto has carbs in it. They call stuff keto friendly but I am not convinced how friendly it is. To me, sugars and carbs might as well be lead or mercury, you know what I mean? I can never eat it again. You wanna hear a sick mind? I always figured if society falls my diabetes would go away and wouldn’t need insulin. No food? No diabetes! LoL 😂
My mom’s kidneys were functioning at 28%. I began to explore what can help her and I googled reversing kidney disease. RUclips video showed up, not for humans, but for dogs. I thought to myself ”woof woof”. It turns out Kiefer was reversing kidney disease in dogs. I already drink some Kiefer as my regular regiment of a low-carb diet so that I could continue to drink my milk and get health benefits from it. I gave my mom some of it and told her to drink it every day. Long story short, three months later, her kidneys were functioning at 70% with no change to her diet.
Hopefully in at the start of a new radical movement. Although, to be honest, history has regularly identified radical professionals who time has not viewed kindly.
@@FC-PeakVersatilitywhat exactly do you think will not be viewed kindly from him? He has saved hundreds of thousands of lives and changed millions of lives. Mine among them. I was 330 lb and in a scooter. I had to have numerous surgeries as a result of childhood abuse. I had my right hip broken when I was 8 years old in a boarding school, I didn't receive medical treatment resulting in necrosis of the femoral head. When this happens in a child it means they will be disabled. Necrosis is bone death, when a bone dies it can't grow. Fast forward 20 years, I went to law school and became an attorney because I wanted to protect others, I wanted to help ensure that what happened to me wouldn't happen to other people. I did my best, followed all the medical advice. I had numerous surgeries. Hip replacement, knee replacement, back surgery, all of this in an attempt to keep me walking so that I could live my life. I was always in pain and depressed. I followed conventional medical advice, dieted as I was told to, I wasn't able to lose weight and once I was in the scooter I became even more depressed. They prescribed lots of pain medication. The cumulative effect of all of this would have been an early death. I found Dr Fung's book, The Obesity Code. My life turned around. I can't overstate how important it was. Today I am under 180 lb. I have a recumbent bike and I get at least 15 miles 5 or 6 days a week. I work out at the gym. I can walk. I can walk. My A1C is 4.4 whereas before it was on the verge of type 2 diabetes. I am healthy. I'm never going to be normal, I have replacement parts but if you look at me walking down the street I appear to be healthy and normal. 10 years ago I was in a scooter, over 300 lb, on a massive number of drugs and headed towards an early grave. Dr Fung's book is not the only resource I used but it was the first and most important. The doctors said eat breakfast! Eat protein in the morning! You have to eat! I didn't lose weight that way. I started to intermittent fast, got rid of all processed foods, got rid of carbohydrates (with the occasional deviation because we're human and we can't adhere to it 100% of the time) and got rid of the pro-inflammatory grain and seed oils. My diet is largely carnivore. I eat a small amount of plant foods but I am aware that fruit is not ideal. We evolved to eat fruit seasonally. The fruit that is available to us now has been bred for excess sweetness. It is available 12 months of the year, grown in ground that is contaminated with pesticides and chemicals and picked green and shipped across the globe. People who encourage us to eat lots of fruits and vegetables don't recognize that the fruits and vegetables our ancestors ate were different from what we have access to today. They didn't eat fruit 12 months of the year, the fruit they ate was picked ripe. When you pick fruit ripe there are less oxalates and anti nutrients in it. They did not make smoothies with eight or nine pieces of fruit, they came across some fruit and ate it. It wasn't grown with pesticides or chemicals and it wasn't available all year long. These are significant differences. The sugar in fruit is fructose. Fructose can only be broken down by the liver. Fructose shares this quality with alcohol. Glucose and ketones can be used by the entire body, fructose and alcohol can only be processed by the liver. That means when we drink a lot of alcohol or eat a lot of fructose we tax our liver. NAFLD (non alcoholic fatty liver disease) didn't exist before the advent of processed food, most of which contains fructose. Children present with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease now. The diseases of the developed world are the result of our diet. When we look at people in nations eating their traditional diet, these diseases are not present. When they start eating a western diet they get the same diseases. That is more than correlation. As Dr Fung has pointed out, we evolved to feast and to fast. Fasting allows our insulin level to drop and the body to access stored body fat. Body fat is nothing more than food stored for a rainy day. Let that rainy day come. Let your body access its stored fat. When we eat every few hours we keep our insulin levels high. Insulin inhibits lipolysis, in the presence of insulin our body struggles to access stored body fat. Insulin is the hormone that tells the body to store fat, not burn it. I understand Dr Fung's irritation with the AHA. I feel a similar degree of irritation. I am glad he weighed in on it, I wish this article wasn't behind a paywall, I think as many people as possible should read it. Dr Fung saved my life and he has saved or improved the lives of countless others. I was 330 lb and in a scooter. I had to have numerous surgeries as a result of a lot of childhood abuse. I had my right hip broken when I was 8 years old in a boarding school, I didn't receive medical treatment resulting in necrosis of the femoral head.

@@greggpon7466 his work, and that of people like him, is leading to a lot of people feeling an awful lot better. You and I are both aware of that. However, in the greater scheme of things those numbers are really quite small, and history is full of radicals who were defamed by the mainstream. Look at what the propaganda did to world renowned experts over COVID control and the vaccine. Even now they are doing nothing about what is known related to vitamin D's role in prevention. Because there's no money to be made from sunshine. And there already exists a powerful movement funded by big business (pharma, med, food, etc), that has government by the short and curlies, intent upon discrediting the long term benefits of lifestyle medicine.
@@greggpon7466 😠 I just spent ages wording a response to you, that the yt algorithm seems to have swallowed whole. But that simply underlines what I was trying to say about Jason and his ilk being swallowed whole by big business.
Thank God for doctors like these two who refuse to push big pharma's bs. They have helped so many ppl get their health and lives back because they take the Hippocratic Oath seriously and truly want to heal rather than harm people.
My health was changed before them but they help me understand that I'm not crazy cause I had basically a thought about ketovore 20 years ago but to me it was a nomadic tribe diet.
2024: i started with Berg and that followed with Fung, Ekberg, Pelz and now Westman. I had dropped from 200 plus to 135 last summer ...because of 'carb creep' i weighed in at 155 this morning ...time to focus!
I have been on insulin for 5 years and unsurprisingly have a fatty liver now. I decided to get serious about sorting myself out so looked up "how to cure a fatty liver" - Jason Fung's videos about intermittent fasting were the first ones that I watched and one thing led to another. I did lots of research and made my mind up. I started carnivore and IF on 25th February 2024 and took myself off all my diabetes medication (not something anyone else should do) otherwise IF would be pointless. My blood glucose is now comfortably in the 'normal' range of around 4 - 5.5 mmol/L. I am SO glad that I found Jason's videos about diabetes and fasting, it has worked miracles for me.
@@Islamisthecultofsin not correct. The whole point of intermittent fasting is to bring down your insulin levels, so if I am injecting insulin then it will never reduce because the injections are keeping it artificially raised.
Dr Fung saved my life. I've been at the dentist today and needed an extraction. She asked me if I had had breakfast and told her not until noon or 1 so I'm good, I can go longer. Next minute she's giving me a cup of water with sugar. I politely declined. She said it could stop me going dizzy. I told her my blood pressure is looking good so she asked me what it was reading, I told her my fasting blood result and blood pressure. So while I was surprised I was going to lose a tooth, I think she was surprised I knew my current health status. I had been talking to the other 2 assistants how long I've fasted, what I ate and when and they were very positive around it. Years of sugar didn't help my poor gnashers though sadly. RIP canine.
Fantastic podcast with two outstanding doctors!!! You invented the wheel… we will keep rolling it in the dark corners!! (And take the abuse that people who mention “keto” or “intermittent fasting” have to take!!!). Thank you for your service to humanity, my life, the life of my husband and our four children has been elevated to perfect because of people like you two!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
How can anyone believe in ‘studies’ when specified results are paid for instead of the research! Go in the opposite direction of the money and you may find the answers you’re looking for. Follow the money and you may die with it!
Love both of you gentlemen and greatly appreciate your courage to go against the grain of your peers. My health has significantly improved, and I'm on less meds, after following your recommendations.
Dr Jason Fung wrote the book "The Diabetes Code". I read it in year 2018. It was my first introduction to the concepts of intermittent fasting, and low-carb high fat diet. I lost 18 kg in the first few months, roughly November 2018 to March 2019. I was able to stop injecting insulin, and my A1C was substantially lower after the weight loss than it had been when I was heavier and injecting insulin. Back then I didn't fully understand, the insulin injections make type 2 diabetes worse. Yes, the blood sugar looks better on the day you inject insulin. But that happens by making you store fat. Particularly, store fat in the liver. Over the long term, injecting insulin makes body fatter, liver more diseased, kidney more diseased. Since 2018, I have discovered Elliot Overton, Paul Mason, Ken Berry, Anthony Chaffee, Ben Bikman, and others. All of them support the basic concept that Dr Fung preaches. Namely, bring down insulin to solve type 2 Diabetes.
Dr Westman and Dr Fung vary fantastic Doctors on Lowcarb amd fasting educators , and help to people live long Naturally, without much Pharma medications unless those are Necessary,
It's so lovely to see both Dr. Jason Fung and Dr Westman talking about the carnivore diet. I do you have a question for either of you? How does a carnivore diet affect someone with liver failure? Can can someone with liver failure eat red meat and chicken and eggs. This liver failure is caused by alcohol in the youth
Portuguese male, 55. T2 , high blood pressure and a bunch of other ailments... Between OMAD and carnivore (started with keto). It's AMAZING! 🙂 Dr. Fung is on my very restricted panel of "Hero's". Thank you so much. 🙂(another smile, just in case).
Two of my heroes! Thank you so much, you've transformed my life! God bless you! I'm spreading your words and recommend you to everybody both in "real life" and on social media.
@lisasternenkind6467 I've done it a couple times but I find some veg and fruit allows for a lifestyle rather than a diet. It's weird but veg are now a treat
@@tiff688 I believe you! My husband switched to a cash pay doctor. She was so disgusted with main stream medicine and insurance companies not paying for necessary tests that she got out. She's so much happier now. She is very respectful of my husband's wishes too, as far as medication and vaccines. His last doctor was a tyrant!
No. They just prescribe pills for certain symptoms. If there is some kind of diagnosis, they look up the current guidelines and the follow through. They don't really seek for a diagnosis though, and they also don't invest any brain time in maybe finding a better way to actually treat the patient. It's especially bad in hospitals. Following the guidelines prevents any charges. So even when they see things are going south, they stick to the guidelines linked to the official diagnosis.
I sort of appreciate Jason Fung's knowledge and his sort of approach to lifestyle management of diabetes and kidney disease. It's sort of an important change of perspective. I sort of learned a lot about this different sort of way of sort of thinking. I sort of wish that this approach were more widespread in the sort of medical system.
I just watched several videos by a channel called Plant Chompers that talks about how Keto and Carnivore health influencers die younger than plant based and Mediterranean diet followers. I would love for you to address this as I am quite confused by all the divergent information on what a healthy diet actually is.
You can decide for yourself. How is your health now? What is your diet? Experiment with a plant based diet and see how your health responds. Go with an animal based diet and see how things go for you. No one can tell you what will be the right diet for YOU. I believe a more animal based diet is right for me but your milage may vary.
Have done heaps of research on this. Plant Chompers is biased. Love to know where they found their longevity stats. Meat based is far healthier. All the nutrients we need are in our meat lifestyle (after a number of months especially). Eating just plants we need about 15 supplements. Ultimately it’s our individual choice what works best for us.
Dr Westman, you have grown into an excellent interviewer👍🏼 I’ve been following you for a while and am happy to see your growth because you have so much to share! Bless you, you and your family are in my prayers.
I find that people are so upset with people taking ozempic for weightloss because it deprives diabetics of medicine they need but it always sounded like went not treat the diabetes properly with diet!
I don't have diabetes, but I had three doctors offer me that trendy drug that one would have to get for the rest of the life, including the "side" effects. I rejected and did my research, found Dr. Westman and learned from him. Now I'm all carnivore. 😊 Result is In losing weight, my wrinkles are gone, I can sleep almost every night, my chronic pain is getting better, I'm no more constantly hungry from less than 450 calories per day from plants, and I don't count calories anymore. 😊
Glad to here how good you are feeling. Ive been keto 4 years and feel better at 64 than 40. I'm starting carnivore today as my cravings never left doing keto. :)
I have a friend who has chronic kidney disease stage 3. And the docs say it’s essential. She’s never been diabetic. She was advised not to eat meat and to be on vegetarian diet. Would having kidney disease without type 2 diabetes - do you feel that meat would cause too much harm and more inflammation.
Your friend might want to stick to beef and lamb, and not eat porc and chicken. Porc has purines, which can be bad for patients with existing kidney or liver issues. Chicken is among the top carnivores that create allergies. After I got this information either by Dr Westman or by Dr. Berry, I found out through experimenting that mainly beef and lamb are very good for me, and with porc and chicken I better be very moderate. So for now I mainly eat beef, eggs, butter, wild caught fish. Dairy products I cut down also and I only have a little cottage cheese, kefir, yoghurt, and cheese from unpasteurized milk, such as Parmesan or Gouda. Im now on day 31 of my all carnivore diet and doing great. I have several chronic autoimmune diseases, such as chronic pain from fibromyalgia and polyneuropathy, also neurodermitis, Alopecia, hyperceratosis, several allergies, metabolic syndrome, hypothyroidism, chronic diarrhea, gastritis, and constant inflammation of liver, bladder and kidneys. I also suffer from the consequences of assaults, such as begnine brain tumors after brain bleeding that impact my nervus vagus, my nervus glossopharyngeus and my pineal gland. I also have intracranial hypertension from the severe head injuries, which meanwhile has been treated with a brain surgery for shunt placement. And of course I also suffer from cPTSD due to the assaults, which comes with several symptoms. Until now, I have list some body fat, gained some muscles, gained sleep, got completely rid of diarrhea, hair is starting to grow back, pain has lessened a little, my skin is better, also has improved tonus and turgor, no more water in my legs, and my facial wrinkles are almost all gone now. I used to drink 4 flasks of coffee per day to keep my eyes open, now I drink only 1-3 cups a day, because I don't need any more coffee. I'm more vital and active. I started a little exercising a few days ago and I do dog sports now every day with my male Rottweiler Thorssàl. I start out in the morning with cinnamon tea to take my pain medication. When I get up, I drink coffee with 1 tablespoon coconut oil. To end my intermittent fasting, I eat bone broth, which I cook every other day from beef bones and some beef meat. Then I eat my main meal - beef, fish or lamb and some chicken eggs. Before I go to bed, I again eat eggs. I am convinced that my bone broth is true medicine for my gut and for my skin. It tightens my skin, hydrates it and serves with collagene. It's like a small face lift. I turned 60 in December, so this is nice. 😊 Oh, I almost forgot to mention, that my hair color seems to return as well. 😮
2020 I began with Berg followed by Ekberg, Fung, Pelz and Berry. My neighbors son takes 4 needles a day for Type 2 since youth and refuses to listen me.
Does anyone out there know which community opted to build a dialysis center rather than fund a dietary change, using casino profits? One of the USA’s First Nations communities pops to mind, but the group mentioned by Dr Westman might also be in Singapore, where I see a new dialysis center has just opened in my old neighborhood. 😢
I am carnivore (95%) A friend got me to read “How Not to Die“ by Michael Greger. I’d be interested to hear Dr. Westman’s response to that book. Thanks for all you do.
I wish that this discussion had a very clear segment on exactly what should be done with the diet instead of just discussing what has been the wrong path of treatment. Many of us know what they are referring to, but I would have liked to see clear references to low carb or no carb lifestyles to reverse diabetes, instead of the current path of treatment via drugs.
Why do you think the interview was cut short? Maybe United Healthcare can develop an Virta model for regular folk w help from Jason Fung. That would be good especially if more cost effective than meds.
How long until we can grow a kidney? or is that a never thing? I thought with the Stem cell tech and the human genome being mapped we would be moving forward but it seems like we are just dying in bigger numbers.
Sorry. Dr. Westman doesn't "need" to do anything. I am thinking you did not mean to be that sparky or rude. You were just airing some frustration. Everyone has a bad day which spills into places we wish it hadn't but there it is. I wish an end to your frustrations and success in clearing your path to success in what you want to do.
The current medical establishment doesn't want to stop the money flow and their rich lifestyles. Just like any other health industries e.g., dental etc.
Type 2 is lifestyle/our fault, type one is not. I had the same type of thing with asthma. I was not born with it and do not have it now but when I was obese at 340 lbs. I had lack of activity induced asthma lol. I am at 181 lbs. today and eating properly lol. I am so thankful I did not develop type 2 diabetes.
I feel (my own opinion) that since all of the companies that have science expiriments, (I mean what they call food) that is sold to consumers that have more chemicals than actual food in them have helped make us sicker and sicker. Low fat high carb meals? Double your diabetes numbers. I remember as a young child you rarely heard of someone with diabetes. Early 70's my grandpa was diagnosed with it. He was gone by 1974. And actually if it had been brought out that the keto diet might help, he would have done that. That diet was discovered for children who had seizures. It stopped them. What happened to that? It was buried, no Dr was going to make money off of that! Get rid of it. That was discovered in the 30's I think. America as a whole should boycott any food processing company. Keto friendly snacks? Leave them on the shelf. Americans should have a class action lawsuit against every Dr that thinks you need a pill. I met a new Dr for the first time, and it was hi, how are you, I think looking at your numbers you need to go on a statin. What? It look like the last 4 times my cholesterol has come down each time. My a1c is now 5.4. We you're still over weight. Yup, and im eating carnivore now. Oh, thats going to kill you. Probably not as fast as your SAD diet. Ill give him one more chance, but I'm eating the way I want, so I don't have to go on dialysis. Boycott food that comes in a can, or box, or freezer. This tells the manufacturing companies that we are tired of chemicals instead of food. Cure childhood cancer? That would be the best place to start...
Dr Eric that great what you’re saying and advising and teaching don’t misunderstand me I’m all for it ,but if you’re type 2 diabetic with uncontrollable levels of glucose In the blood even on low carb what are we supposed to do starve Ourselves? I know that insulin is the growth hormone it’s inflammatory, it’s the hormone that stores fat and all that so what’s the answer? Please comment I’d be very interested and will follow your advices to the l
Great interview. Unfortunately, I notice a lot of overlap in these keto celeb to keto celeb interviews.... doesn't anyone know we listen to all these prominent keto drs? You think there's someone here that doesn't know Jason Fung's background? Anyway, its all good.
@DaveIrish66 a lot of overlap like every time some interviews taubes thrmey ask him how he got into nutrition. Ot just gets repetitive. FUng says the same stuff on all his interviews.
@@DaveIrish66 would be nice to hear about new research that confirms any of the keto rhetoric. We just get endless repetition of these same unproven ideas & criticism of the past for the same problem--namely endless repetition wo any facts. For myself, I know keto can control blood sugar. To what extent, I don't know. I don't believe it promotes weight loss. Much work needs to be done.
When Dr. Fung was just about to make a point on zero kidney function and still being able to live, my interest immediately heightened, and wouldn’t you know it, Dr. Westman interrupted him and they never went back to that subject. Aaaaarrggh.
@@lisasternenkind6467 yes I understand that, but Dr. Fung was making a point beyond the obvious. Sometimes it pays to let your guest complete their sentence before continually talking over them.
Very strange still it is not confirmed whether cytoplasm of body cells are starved or overfeed with glucose in Type 2 DM.2. researches Comment on inner outer mitochondrial membrane .embedded proteins .enzymes. electrons transport chain .k. Na. CA concentration gradient ATP ADP BLA BLA BLA ..but unable to know simply the 6 Corbin glucose concentration gradient across intracellularly and extracellulary. .
Halfway in, im not learning anything new, they kept going back to their origin and history, I guess I have watched a lot of their past videos, and yes, Dr. Westman could have interrupted less, as he is the interviewer
Doctor and scientist are highly intelligent components of society , but when status and positions of backbenchers are greater and superior because of malpractice and manipulation it becomes problematic and disharmonious. So even if they wanted to be honest, their families and friends keeps pinching to do as others are doing.. All farmers industries are opened by businessman and never all doctors. For business only profitability are properties not health and wellness of people.. During corona pendamic we saw how people pretending to be Careing about human lives and drops of blood. Soon after in wars we showed our actual nature.
I don't know his opinion, I prefer people loose weight without it, but it helped 2 of my family members get rid of some weight and more important get rid of the fear of fasting.
Dr. Fung lost me when he said "Nothing wrong with drug companies and I am not anti Pharma?" I like Dr. Fung, but that comment was pure ignorance. Drug companies want to sell their drugs and they don't care how. Listen around 12:15 in the video.
When I was diagnosed with diabetes and found out about low carb, I was surprised to learn that the carbs in food are turned into sugar by the body. I saw a really good video explaining that carbs are just molecules of sugar joined together. It helped me a lot to understand this. And yes, I did change to low carb and remitted my diabetes as well as becoming metabolically healthy and getting back to my pre children weight.
@@jamescalifornia2964 Yes. Once I knew this I started looking at foods differently. Instead of walking around the shop looking at foods and thinking about what they tasted like I was thinking about the carb content. I'd walk down the aisles looking at things like pasta, rice, biscuits, fruit and thinking carbs, carbs more carbs. The funny thing was that I borrowed some videos and one of them was Over the Hedge, which I had seen when it first came out, and all I could see was carbs!

I’m never hungry, if I am I eat, even if it’s morning but that rarely happens. I have woke up ready before lol and I still wait a couple hours. Usually that feeling passes. I don’t know why or how it works but I do know I am in ketosis all the time. The level of ketosis may vary, but it’s almost always burning.

Dr. Westman and Dr. Fung together on one podcast is a double win!
My mom’s kidneys were functioning at 28%. I began to explore what can help her and I googled reversing kidney disease. RUclips video showed up, not for humans, but for dogs. I thought to myself ”woof woof”. It turns out Kiefer was reversing kidney disease in dogs. I already drink some Kiefer as my regular regiment of a low-carb diet so that I could continue to drink my milk and get health benefits from it. I gave my mom some of it and told her to drink it every day. Long story short, three months later, her kidneys were functioning at 70% with no change to her diet.
Wow!
Fantastic testimony! Apparently increasing protein intake increases kidney function too (contrary to what they tell us). Thanks for the kefir tip!
Not as simple as adding a single food to a bad diet. To get at the root cause which is chronic hyperinsulinemia, you have to eliminate the carbs.
Woof woof! Fantastic Your mom raised you well!
This does more than just fix diabetes. It fixes HBP, cholesterol, joint pain and inflammation. Much more needs to be studied.
Jason Fung is one of the few great Doctors.
Hopefully in at the start of a new radical movement. Although, to be honest, history has regularly identified radical professionals who time has not viewed kindly.
@@FC-PeakVersatilitywhat exactly do you think will not be viewed kindly from him? He has saved hundreds of thousands of lives and changed millions of lives. Mine among them.
I was 330 lb and in a scooter. I had to have numerous surgeries as a result of childhood abuse. I had my right hip broken when I was 8 years old in a boarding school, I didn't receive medical treatment resulting in necrosis of the femoral head. When this happens in a child it means they will be disabled. Necrosis is bone death, when a bone dies it can't grow.
Fast forward 20 years, I went to law school and became an attorney because I wanted to protect others, I wanted to help ensure that what happened to me wouldn't happen to other people. I did my best, followed all the medical advice. I had numerous surgeries. Hip replacement, knee replacement, back surgery, all of this in an attempt to keep me walking so that I could live my life.
I was always in pain and depressed. I followed conventional medical advice, dieted as I was told to, I wasn't able to lose weight and once I was in the scooter I became even more depressed. They prescribed lots of pain medication. The cumulative effect of all of this would have been an early death.
I found Dr Fung's book, The Obesity Code. My life turned around. I can't overstate how important it was. Today I am under 180 lb. I have a recumbent bike and I get at least 15 miles 5 or 6 days a week. I work out at the gym. I can walk.
I can walk.
My A1C is 4.4 whereas before it was on the verge of type 2 diabetes.
I am healthy. I'm never going to be normal, I have replacement parts but if you look at me walking down the street I appear to be healthy and normal. 10 years ago I was in a scooter, over 300 lb, on a massive number of drugs and headed towards an early grave.
Dr Fung's book is not the only resource I used but it was the first and most important. The doctors said eat breakfast! Eat protein in the morning! You have to eat! I didn't lose weight that way. I started to intermittent fast, got rid of all processed foods, got rid of carbohydrates (with the occasional deviation because we're human and we can't adhere to it 100% of the time) and got rid of the pro-inflammatory grain and seed oils.
My diet is largely carnivore. I eat a small amount of plant foods but I am aware that fruit is not ideal. We evolved to eat fruit seasonally. The fruit that is available to us now has been bred for excess sweetness. It is available 12 months of the year, grown in ground that is contaminated with pesticides and chemicals and picked green and shipped across the globe.
People who encourage us to eat lots of fruits and vegetables don't recognize that the fruits and vegetables our ancestors ate were different from what we have access to today. They didn't eat fruit 12 months of the year, the fruit they ate was picked ripe. When you pick fruit ripe there are less oxalates and anti nutrients in it. They did not make smoothies with eight or nine pieces of fruit, they came across some fruit and ate it. It wasn't grown with pesticides or chemicals and it wasn't available all year long. These are significant differences.
The sugar in fruit is fructose. Fructose can only be broken down by the liver. Fructose shares this quality with alcohol. Glucose and ketones can be used by the entire body, fructose and alcohol can only be processed by the liver. That means when we drink a lot of alcohol or eat a lot of fructose we tax our liver. NAFLD (non alcoholic fatty liver disease) didn't exist before the advent of processed food, most of which contains fructose. Children present with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease now.
The diseases of the developed world are the result of our diet. When we look at people in nations eating their traditional diet, these diseases are not present. When they start eating a western diet they get the same diseases. That is more than correlation.
As Dr Fung has pointed out, we evolved to feast and to fast. Fasting allows our insulin level to drop and the body to access stored body fat. Body fat is nothing more than food stored for a rainy day. Let that rainy day come.
Let your body access its stored fat. When we eat every few hours we keep our insulin levels high. Insulin inhibits lipolysis, in the presence of insulin our body struggles to access stored body fat. Insulin is the hormone that tells the body to store fat, not burn it.
I understand Dr Fung's irritation with the AHA. I feel a similar degree of irritation. I am glad he weighed in on it, I wish this article wasn't behind a paywall, I think as many people as possible should read it.
Dr Fung saved my life and he has saved or improved the lives of countless others.

@@greggpon7466 his work, and that of people like him, is leading to a lot of people feeling an awful lot better. You and I are both aware of that. However, in the greater scheme of things those numbers are really quite small, and history is full of radicals who were defamed by the mainstream. Look at what the propaganda did to world renowned experts over COVID control and the vaccine. Even now they are doing nothing about what is known related to vitamin D's role in prevention. Because there's no money to be made from sunshine. And there already exists a powerful movement funded by big business (pharma, med, food, etc), that has government by the short and curlies, intent upon discrediting the long term benefits of lifestyle medicine.

It’s shockingly simple to change the trajectory of your health forever. I’m very grateful for these two doctors.
Dr. Westman and Dr. Fung changed my health for the better, thank you both.😊
They’re medical heroes!
Mine too! I both both their books!
Thank God for doctors like these two who refuse to push big pharma's bs. They have helped so many ppl get their health and lives back because they take the Hippocratic Oath seriously and truly want to heal rather than harm people.
My health was changed before them but they help me understand that I'm not crazy cause I had basically a thought about ketovore 20 years ago but to me it was a nomadic tribe diet.
They are real Doctor's that really care! praise God for them ❤
Yeah, Dr. Fung and Dr. Westman! The 2 drs who started me fasting, low carb, and now on a healthy carnivore lifestyle
2024: i started with Berg and that followed with Fung, Ekberg, Pelz and now Westman. I had dropped from 200 plus to 135 last summer ...because of 'carb creep' i weighed in at 155 this morning ...time to focus!
Wow 🤩 Dr Jason Fung RUclips talks and books saved my life ❤️ in 2019
Do tell...
2017 for me.
My dad was diabetic and now going carnivore for a year, hba1c is at 5.2 now. Thanks docs!
My two favorite doctors. ❤❤❤
I have been on insulin for 5 years and unsurprisingly have a fatty liver now.
I decided to get serious about sorting myself out so looked up "how to cure a fatty liver" - Jason Fung's videos about intermittent fasting were the first ones that I watched and one thing led to another. I did lots of research and made my mind up.
I started carnivore and IF on 25th February 2024 and took myself off all my diabetes medication (not something anyone else should do) otherwise IF would be pointless.
My blood glucose is now comfortably in the 'normal' range of around 4 - 5.5 mmol/L.
I am SO glad that I found Jason's videos about diabetes and fasting, it has worked miracles for me.
On Insulin with T2D, not T1D… right?
@@marlenegold280 yes, I should have said that. I am T2.
Intermittent fasting will work no matter if you stopped your medication or not. It doesn't care. Most of the medications just make things worse.
@@Islamisthecultofsin not correct. The whole point of intermittent fasting is to bring down your insulin levels, so if I am injecting insulin then it will never reduce because the injections are keeping it artificially raised.
Keep up the great work. You have saved my life.
When I was a kid, my mom used to warn me about eating too much sweets. She said I'd get "sugar diabetes". She wasn't far off from the truth.
She was dead on to the truth!
Change the system from within. Keep it up!
Yahoo, 2 of my favorite doctors in one place!
Dr Fung saved my life. I've been at the dentist today and needed an extraction. She asked me if I had had breakfast and told her not until noon or 1 so I'm good, I can go longer. Next minute she's giving me a cup of water with sugar. I politely declined. She said it could stop me going dizzy. I told her my blood pressure is looking good so she asked me what it was reading, I told her my fasting blood result and blood pressure. So while I was surprised I was going to lose a tooth, I think she was surprised I knew my current health status.
I had been talking to the other 2 assistants how long I've fasted, what I ate and when and they were very positive around it.
Years of sugar didn't help my poor gnashers though sadly. RIP canine.
You probably are deficient in vitamin D3, get some sunshine immediately ! !!!
Dr Fung has changed my life. God bless him ❤
Fantastic podcast with two outstanding doctors!!! You invented the wheel… we will keep rolling it in the dark corners!! (And take the abuse that people who mention “keto” or “intermittent fasting” have to take!!!). Thank you for your service to humanity, my life, the life of my husband and our four children has been elevated to perfect because of people like you two!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
How can anyone believe in ‘studies’ when specified results are paid for instead of the research! Go in the opposite direction of the money and you may find the answers you’re looking for. Follow the money and you may die with it!
I understand your thinking
@@Daydreamer-o1m Thanks. I’m still working on how the best way to word this in a short, yet clear expression.
What a great conversation between 2 great pionners that I have been following for over 10 years
Awesome work fellas. Dr. Jason Fung is the BEST!!!!!
Love both of you gentlemen and greatly appreciate your courage to go against the grain of your peers. My health has significantly improved, and I'm on less meds, after following your recommendations.
We just love Dr Fung and have his book !
Dr Jason Fung wrote the book "The Diabetes Code". I read it in year 2018. It was my first introduction to the concepts of intermittent fasting, and low-carb high fat diet. I lost 18 kg in the first few months, roughly November 2018 to March 2019. I was able to stop injecting insulin, and my A1C was substantially lower after the weight loss than it had been when I was heavier and injecting insulin.
Back then I didn't fully understand, the insulin injections make type 2 diabetes worse. Yes, the blood sugar looks better on the day you inject insulin. But that happens by making you store fat. Particularly, store fat in the liver. Over the long term, injecting insulin makes body fatter, liver more diseased, kidney more diseased.
Since 2018, I have discovered Elliot Overton, Paul Mason, Ken Berry, Anthony Chaffee, Ben Bikman, and others. All of them support the basic concept that Dr Fung preaches. Namely, bring down insulin to solve type 2 Diabetes.
I hope we get to see the whole talk and thank you!
Thank you! Full interview coming this Friday, Stay tuned!
Love Dr. Fung! (Wish you narrated your audiobooks 🙃)
His book The Obesity Code, on audible, has a really good narrator!
TWO of My Favorite Docs...!!! 🙂👍 -70SomethingGuy
Dr Westman and Dr Fung vary fantastic Doctors on Lowcarb amd fasting educators , and help to people live long Naturally, without much Pharma medications unless those are Necessary,
It's so lovely to see both Dr. Jason Fung and Dr Westman talking about the carnivore diet. I do you have a question for either of you? How does a carnivore diet affect someone with liver failure? Can can someone with liver failure eat red meat and chicken and eggs. This liver failure is caused by alcohol in the youth
Love Dr. Fung! I have his books. He calls it the way he sees it.
Portuguese male, 55. T2 , high blood pressure and a bunch of other ailments... Between OMAD and carnivore (started with keto). It's AMAZING! 🙂
Dr. Fung is on my very restricted panel of "Hero's". Thank you so much. 🙂(another smile, just in case).
Two of my heroes! Thank you so much, you've transformed my life! God bless you! I'm spreading your words and recommend you to everybody both in "real life" and on social media.
You two (Eric and Jason) have no idea how many lives you’re changing for the better, mine included! Thank you both ❤
Love both of you! Since my dad went on dialysis I have up sugar and went keto carnivore. I'm 15kg down after 8 yrs. So it's a long road but worth it.
Go all carnivore, it's so much better. 😊
@lisasternenkind6467 I've done it a couple times but I find some veg and fruit allows for a lifestyle rather than a diet. It's weird but veg are now a treat
I love Dr Jason Fung. His videos inspired me to try intermittent fasting and I lost weight and still able to maintain a healthy weight. Thank you!
What is medical training for doctors these days anyways? Playing a game of match the drug to the symptoms?
A pill for an ill
@@tiff688 I believe you! My husband switched to a cash pay doctor. She was so disgusted with main stream medicine and insurance companies not paying for necessary tests that she got out. She's so much happier now. She is very respectful of my husband's wishes too, as far as medication and vaccines. His last doctor was a tyrant!
@@tiff688 The guidelines which the insurance companies created & enforce.
Healthy people don't need health insurance.
No. They just prescribe pills for certain symptoms. If there is some kind of diagnosis, they look up the current guidelines and the follow through.
They don't really seek for a diagnosis though, and they also don't invest any brain time in maybe finding a better way to actually treat the patient.
It's especially bad in hospitals. Following the guidelines prevents any charges. So even when they see things are going south, they stick to the guidelines linked to the official diagnosis.
Great to see you again Dr Fung~ watching from Canada!
I sort of appreciate Jason Fung's knowledge and his sort of approach to lifestyle management of diabetes and kidney disease. It's sort of an important change of perspective. I sort of learned a lot about this different sort of way of sort of thinking. I sort of wish that this approach were more widespread in the sort of medical system.
I just watched several videos by a channel called Plant Chompers that talks about how Keto and Carnivore health influencers die younger than plant based and Mediterranean diet followers. I would love for you to address this as I am quite confused by all the divergent information on what a healthy diet actually is.
You can decide for yourself. How is your health now? What is your diet? Experiment with a plant based diet and see how your health responds. Go with an animal based diet and see how things go for you. No one can tell you what will be the right diet for YOU. I believe a more animal based diet is right for me but your milage may vary.
Have done heaps of research on this. Plant Chompers is biased. Love to know where they found their longevity stats. Meat based is far healthier. All the nutrients we need are in our meat lifestyle (after a number of months especially). Eating just plants we need about 15 supplements. Ultimately it’s our individual choice what works best for us.
@@theskyehikerPersonally, I chose my lifestyle by researching first. Why experiment with plants when they can be distasteful to us.
Not only distasteful, also damaging to your health!@AnneMB955
@@theskyehikerthat plant-based experiment sounds risky! 😮

I’ve been following you for a while and am happy to see your growth because you have so much to share!
Bless you, you and your family are in my prayers.
Thank you Dr. Westman and Dr. Fung
I find that people are so upset with people taking ozempic for weightloss because it deprives diabetics of medicine they need but it always sounded like went not treat the diabetes properly with diet!
I don't have diabetes, but I had three doctors offer me that trendy drug that one would have to get for the rest of the life, including the "side" effects.
I rejected and did my research, found Dr. Westman and learned from him. Now I'm all carnivore. 😊 Result is In losing weight, my wrinkles are gone, I can sleep almost every night, my chronic pain is getting better, I'm no more constantly hungry from less than 450 calories per day from plants, and I don't count calories anymore. 😊
Glad to here how good you are feeling. Ive been keto 4 years and feel better at 64 than 40. I'm starting carnivore today as my cravings never left doing keto. :)
Nice to hear its working for you
I like that their first concern is the patient. So if the allopathic gets the patient to live better don't hate. I love that they're bringing better
"Medical Focus..." = Drug $-Sales = Major Corporation $$$-PROFITS...!!! Ugh...!

Thanks!
I have a friend who has chronic kidney disease stage 3. And the docs say it’s essential. She’s never been diabetic. She was advised not to eat meat and to be on vegetarian diet.
Would having kidney disease without type 2 diabetes - do you feel that meat would cause too much harm and more inflammation.
No, meat would not do harm.
Diet is tricky if you already on Dialysis.
Your friend might want to stick to beef and lamb, and not eat porc and chicken.
Porc has purines, which can be bad for patients with existing kidney or liver issues. Chicken is among the top carnivores that create allergies.
After I got this information either by Dr Westman or by Dr. Berry, I found out through experimenting that mainly beef and lamb are very good for me, and with porc and chicken I better be very moderate. So for now I mainly eat beef, eggs, butter, wild caught fish. Dairy products I cut down also and I only have a little cottage cheese, kefir, yoghurt, and cheese from unpasteurized milk, such as Parmesan or Gouda.
Im now on day 31 of my all carnivore diet and doing great.
I have several chronic autoimmune diseases, such as chronic pain from fibromyalgia and polyneuropathy, also neurodermitis, Alopecia, hyperceratosis, several allergies, metabolic syndrome, hypothyroidism, chronic diarrhea, gastritis, and constant inflammation of liver, bladder and kidneys. I also suffer from the consequences of assaults, such as begnine brain tumors after brain bleeding that impact my nervus vagus, my nervus glossopharyngeus and my pineal gland. I also have intracranial hypertension from the severe head injuries, which meanwhile has been treated with a brain surgery for shunt placement. And of course I also suffer from cPTSD due to the assaults, which comes with several symptoms.
Until now, I have list some body fat, gained some muscles, gained sleep, got completely rid of diarrhea, hair is starting to grow back, pain has lessened a little, my skin is better, also has improved tonus and turgor, no more water in my legs, and my facial wrinkles are almost all gone now. I used to drink 4 flasks of coffee per day to keep my eyes open, now I drink only 1-3 cups a day, because I don't need any more coffee. I'm more vital and active. I started a little exercising a few days ago and I do dog sports now every day with my male Rottweiler Thorssàl.
I start out in the morning with cinnamon tea to take my pain medication. When I get up, I drink coffee with 1 tablespoon coconut oil. To end my intermittent fasting, I eat bone broth, which I cook every other day from beef bones and some beef meat. Then I eat my main meal - beef, fish or lamb and some chicken eggs. Before I go to bed, I again eat eggs.
I am convinced that my bone broth is true medicine for my gut and for my skin. It tightens my skin, hydrates it and serves with collagene. It's like a small face lift. I turned 60 in December, so this is nice. 😊
Oh, I almost forgot to mention, that my hair color seems to return as well. 😮

Does anyone out there know which community opted to build a dialysis center rather than fund a dietary change, using casino profits? One of the USA’s First Nations communities pops to mind, but the group mentioned by Dr Westman might also be in Singapore, where I see a new dialysis center has just opened in my old neighborhood. 😢
I am carnivore (95%) A friend got me to read “How Not to Die“ by Michael Greger. I’d be interested to hear Dr. Westman’s response to that book.

Thank you but it stops abruptly, so i believe there is a continuation.
Keep up the good work.👍🧠

Hello
I wish that this discussion had a very clear segment on exactly what should be done with the diet instead of just discussing what has been the wrong path of treatment. Many of us know what they are referring to, but I would have liked to see clear references to low carb or no carb lifestyles to reverse diabetes, instead of the current path of treatment via drugs.
Yep, my dr. Never told me what not to eat for ckd, so I had ckd, never was discussed with me, never had heard of ckd beforehand.
Let Jason speak
The title is Doctors speak…plural.

I have books written but both of them.
Do people with hypothyroidism need T3 in addition to Levothyroxine?
Some only take T3, correctly dosed, because T4 doesn’t easily convert to active T3.
Westman needs to stop interrupting Fung. Let him talk
Sorry. Dr. Westman doesn't "need" to do anything. I am thinking you did not mean to be that sparky or rude. You were just airing some frustration. Everyone has a bad day which spills into places we wish it hadn't but there it is. I wish an end to your frustrations and success in clearing your path to success in what you want to do.

Did you listening to the whole discussion?
@@AnneMB955 I did.
Pioneers
The current medical establishment doesn't want to stop the money flow and their rich lifestyles. Just like any other health industries e.g., dental etc.
Type 2 is lifestyle/our fault, type one is not. I had the same type of thing with asthma. I was not born with it and do not have it now but when I was obese at 340 lbs. I had lack of activity induced asthma lol. I am at 181 lbs. today and eating properly lol. I am so thankful I did not develop type 2 diabetes.
Bravo!! Nice work
Type one is related to low vitamin D and some 💉, specifically when growing up.
2024~Should we believe the scale as much as the mirror? Or learn to throw the scale away! please respond!
I feel (my own opinion) that since all of the companies that have science expiriments, (I mean what they call food) that is sold to consumers that have more chemicals than actual food in them have helped make us sicker and sicker.
Low fat high carb meals? Double your diabetes numbers. I remember as a young child you rarely heard of someone with diabetes. Early 70's my grandpa was diagnosed with it. He was gone by 1974. And actually if it had been brought out that the keto diet might help, he would have done that. That diet was discovered for children who had seizures. It stopped them.
What happened to that? It was buried, no Dr was going to make money off of that! Get rid of it. That was discovered in the 30's I think.
America as a whole should boycott any food processing company.
Keto friendly snacks? Leave them on the shelf.
Americans should have a class action lawsuit against every Dr that thinks you need a pill.
I met a new Dr for the first time, and it was hi, how are you, I think looking at your numbers you need to go on a statin. What? It look like the last 4 times my cholesterol has come down each time. My a1c is now 5.4. We you're still over weight. Yup, and im eating carnivore now. Oh, thats going to kill you. Probably not as fast as your SAD diet.
Ill give him one more chance, but I'm eating the way I want, so I don't have to go on dialysis.
Boycott food that comes in a can, or box, or freezer. This tells the manufacturing companies that we are tired of chemicals instead of food.
Cure childhood cancer? That would be the best place to start...
Dr Eric that great what you’re saying and advising and teaching don’t misunderstand me I’m all for it ,but if you’re type 2 diabetic with uncontrollable levels of glucose In the blood even on low carb what are we supposed to do starve Ourselves? I know that insulin is the growth hormone it’s inflammatory, it’s the hormone that stores fat and all that so what’s the answer? Please comment I’d be very interested and will follow your advices to the l
Eat meats and fats. Don’t eat Carbohydrates.
Simple
Great interview. Unfortunately, I notice a lot of overlap in these keto celeb to keto celeb interviews.... doesn't anyone know we listen to all these prominent keto drs? You think there's someone here that doesn't know Jason Fung's background? Anyway, its all good.
What does this even mean? Overlap? Facts are facts. What else do you need to know? Stop overthinking this. It's really simple if you have an open mind
@DaveIrish66 a lot of overlap like every time some interviews taubes thrmey ask him how he got into nutrition. Ot just gets repetitive. FUng says the same stuff on all his interviews.

I agree
When Dr. Fung was just about to make a point on zero kidney function and still being able to live, my interest immediately heightened, and wouldn’t you know it, Dr. Westman interrupted him and they never went back to that subject. Aaaaarrggh.
Zero kidney function ===> dialysis
@@lisasternenkind6467 yes I understand that, but Dr. Fung was making a point beyond the obvious. Sometimes it pays to let your guest complete their sentence before continually talking over them.
Very strange still it is not confirmed whether cytoplasm of body cells are starved or overfeed with glucose in Type 2 DM.2. researches Comment on inner outer mitochondrial membrane .embedded proteins .enzymes. electrons transport chain .k. Na. CA concentration gradient ATP ADP BLA BLA BLA ..but unable to know simply the 6 Corbin glucose concentration gradient across intracellularly and extracellulary. .
Halfway in, im not learning anything new, they kept going back to their origin and history, I guess I have watched a lot of their past videos, and yes, Dr. Westman could have interrupted less, as he is the interviewer
What do you need to know that is new? Keep it simple. Because it is
What’s with the abrupt ending? Not cool.

I wish he would of let the doctor finish his thoughts, disappointing that several times he was not able to finish explaining what the question was.
Doctor and scientist are highly intelligent components of society , but when status and positions of backbenchers are greater and superior because of malpractice and manipulation it becomes problematic and disharmonious. So even if they wanted to be honest, their families and friends keeps pinching to do as others are doing.. All farmers industries are opened by businessman and never all doctors. For business only profitability are properties not health and wellness of people.. During corona pendamic we saw how people pretending to be Careing about human lives and drops of blood. Soon after in wars we showed our actual nature.
I saw a Jason fung video about Ozempic use.😮😮😮😮
I am not happy with his opinion.
Wow
Was it on his RUclips channel? I'd like to watch that...
Google it
I don't know his opinion, I prefer people loose weight without it, but it helped 2 of my family members get rid of some weight and more important get rid of the fear of fasting.
Dr. Fung lost me when he said "Nothing wrong with drug companies and I am not anti Pharma?" I like Dr. Fung, but that comment was pure ignorance. Drug companies want to sell their drugs and they don't care how. Listen around 12:15 in the video.
I was thinking the same. 😊
Two cool cats
❤❤❤❤😊
These are the twin towers. I love these guys. They’ve helped so many people
Very frustrating waiting for Dr. Fung's answers to be completely interrupted. Will not follow this doctor's podcasts.
🍞 NO🚫STARCH 🍚
When I was diagnosed with diabetes and found out about low carb, I was surprised to learn that the carbs in food are turned into sugar by the body. I saw a really good video explaining that carbs are just molecules of sugar joined together. It helped me a lot to understand this. And yes, I did change to low carb and remitted my diabetes as well as becoming metabolically healthy and getting back to my pre children weight.
@@jobrown8146 / Yes indeed. Starch begins converting to sucrose in our mouth.
@@jamescalifornia2964 Yes. Once I knew this I started looking at foods differently. Instead of walking around the shop looking at foods and thinking about what they tasted like I was thinking about the carb content. I'd walk down the aisles looking at things like pasta, rice, biscuits, fruit and thinking carbs, carbs more carbs. The funny thing was that I borrowed some videos and one of them was Over the Hedge, which I had seen when it first came out, and all I could see was carbs!
I didn't like that you didn't let Dr Jason Fung speak enough you kept interrupting him. Very disappointing.
Thanking Dr Jason Fung💯 first doctor to open my eyes on true health. 🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘
