Yes, age is a huge factor. I enjoyed excellent health for decades, but at 62 I suddenly developed eczema and blepharitis, two wretched conditions. Doctors were useless so I started to do my own research. Both conditions are completely gone now, thanks to two things: * intermittent fasting * carnivore diet It seems so obvious in retrospect: diet is everything.
My blood work CRP scores are always very low. Dr. is staring to realize this. Started with Lean Gains 8/16 about 5 years ago. Presently on OMAD. I eat at lunch every day in 1-2 hour feeding windows. Went from 230 lb./43" waist to 177 / 34". Starting Carnivore.
IF has almost always been easy for me (more so now that I eat low carb) as I rarely want food until later in the day. Fasting usually helps me get over illness quickly, and keeps my mind relatively more agile than when I am feeding several times a day. IF is simply an easy part of my lifestyle. Love your videos. Keep them coming.
Interesting. I did the OMAD diet of one meal a day. I ate one time at 4 to 5 pm and nothing after that. My TPO antibodies to my Hashimoto's Thyroiditis autoimmune disease went down significantly. Plus, a diet of anti-inflammatory foods are also the key to reducing inflammation and lowering TPO antibodies. I had found that inflammation was the source of my autoimmune disease. Get rid of inflammation and your autoimmune disease goes into remission.
I love what your doing with this channel, Mike. You’ve really helped me keep weight down, improve my blood pressure and keep my labs looking good. People ask me what my secret has been and I tell them all about your channel.
Beside the particular pattern of ramadan fast (eating early in the morning and late at night) I guess we need to keep in mind that it's a dry fast. So they don't drink any liquid either. This is like what Jewish do during kippour fasting. Daily dry fasting is much more difficult than water fasting, but in my experience, it's also more effective (quicker) in driving inflammation down, at least that's what I've noticed on my skin, and when I am sick (e.g, sore throat). Another interesting thing about it too is that it suppresses hunger much faster! Hunger is replaced with thirst, and then it goes away at some point. Lastly, it helps to reset cafein addiction. For instance, doing a 16/8 dry fast twice per week (drinking around 4pm) made me drop my cafein addiction. I can still enjoy coffee the other days, but I need less of it and my sleep is better, presumably thanks to a lesser amount and frequency of coffee intake. It's my belief that many of us, who practice a fasting-focused lifestyle are coffee addicts. And that shows up the quality of our (rem) sleep. Personally, I started to remember my dreams again, when I implemented these dry fasts twice per week, even though I have been eating one big meal a day for years (warrior diet).
I was just about to echo this. The eating window itself maybe only 12-15 hours depending on the season when Ramadan hits. But the dry fasting seems to be at the core potentially of the referenced study Mike mentioned. Contemplating throwing in a dry fast into my prolonged fast..just to see how i feel.
@@Docinaplane well, I am not giving any explanation as I don't know the underlying mecanisms. I have just noticed the effects and for *me*, they are real. Maybe it won't work for you, I don't know. And I guess you wouldn't know either until you try.
@@Docinaplane I don't understand it either. What you're saying makes total sense. But when I'm IF'ing or even prolonged fasting, I"m doing coffee, potassium, and salt..so total abstaining from everything..including the osmosis process is doing something...i guess...more research is needed..
Thanks so much! Great content! A year and a half ago I was very insulin resistant, which has dramatically improved doing keto and I.F. My body is really happy with a 16 to 20 hr fasting window, which amazes me. Mostly doing Keto, but I also allow times when I eat a little more freely. My wt is great now, having lost 25+ lbs. I'm 73, so I appreciate your input about inflammation and the aging process. I think the I.F. helps me keep my wt down. I am sure that the internal inflammation must be reduced, but I haven't specifically noticed it yet.
18 hour plus fasting does a lot to help weight loss. It especially got me in the head space to count calories. And fasting 18-20 hours really lets me keep a strict calorie counting for weight loss regimen.
This was a cool study. I know that a lot of inflammation occurs in the gut, but I was also reading about how as we age our skin health declines which leads to more inflammation. It's kind of a similar idea-- the gut is a boundary between our internal environment and external environment, it's basically the gatekeeper for the body. But the skin is essentially performing the gatekeeping function as well. I read a study that showed a reduction in total inflammation (I think in the elderly? not sure) by getting their skin healthier. Interesting stuff.
i been doing OMAD fasting for 20-22 hours for 11 months now. I just had blood work done, i was satisfied with my numbers, and im down 30 lbs from 188. As far as training, its going strong, i'm shredded, still making gains, No signifigent Muscle loss, I'm 66 years old and been training for decades and in the best shape ever, i have a 30-inch waist again. OMAD makes life simple from an eating/meal perspective, it takes great discipline adjusting the hormones Ghrelin & Leptin and rejecting food.
Just got my blood work last week. My hsCRP is 0.72 which is awesome for a 56 y/o. I have been doing various forms of IF for eight years. It is a lifestyle for me. Cheers!
I am not sure what further modifications I can make to lower my CRP. I currently eat 42:6 IF wholefoods low-carb six days per week, and on the seventh day I double my calories and eat high-carb. I avoid grains, sugar, soy, refined carbs, GMO's and processed foods. I have a list of nutrient dense healthy whole food staples but I will divert occasionally. I do a combination resistance training, crossfit and HIIT cardio throughout the week. I keep it simple so I do not have to over think it. Cheers!
I suffer from trigeminal neuralgia... whem I have crazy flare ups I can’t eat. Well the last time I had major pain I could only drink vegan plant protein shakes with my powder vita and minerals. With water. A week later I feel much better in body fat and feel that it actually helped relax the tightness on my nerves that are touching. Although my meds get cranked up. I feel after when I can eat a bit if I eat a bad thing I feel my pain starts to tingle. So I’m convinced of tryn to just do my shakes twice a day and eat one a week with my family.
That's very interesting Mike. During Ramadhaan we eat alot more fried, fatty, high carb foods when we break the fast, so it does say something for 'fasting' alone as health promoter. Unlike what most people may think of as fasting, during the fast we don't drink water either, so perhaps that's a factor too.
Mike- thanks for the good words! Always interesting! Say- so I get it that eat less= benefits- but has there been a study as to optimal amounts of fasting/time restricted eating.. etc. How much is too much or not enough.. I want 2020 to be the best year yet- is there something I should read? I’ve done OMAD - great results- then kinda twisted it up w- light snack & dinner- and I’ve done 24-48 hr fast... Slight rest for the Holidays- but realize I need to be careful. your thoughts?
Hey Mike, thanks for another great titbit. Love what you do especially like your openness and integrity. Wishung you and your family a fun and love filled Christmas.
Keeping in mind the work of Satchin Panda and others on circadian effects of hormones, the ideal time to eat is not late in the evening as that is when the body produces less saliva, digestive enzymes, etc. Normal bodily system repair that occurs during sleep is also disrupted due to diverting to food digestion. Can you do a follow up addressing this as a confounding factor? Many thanks Mike - cheers.
Tracey Trudeau Yep! We’ve been talking about circadian biology as it relates to gut health since 2014, big deal IMO. ruclips.net/video/rgfaKmj4yHA/видео.html What makes this study unique is the captured cytokines in a 24-hour period to control for that.
Great video.. So when you said we should keep inflammation in mind when we are doing a keto/IF regimen are you saying we should be measuring various inflammation markers (hsCRP?) and then adjusting the diet to minimize them? Or do you have suggestions for ket/dieto mods to minimize inflammation? thanks
This seems counter to what everyone is saying, but I loose weight better when I eat two meals a day instead of one... and also when I have a few healthy carbs instead of just carnivore. Anyone else?
Me too. Two very close meals, according to hunger, easier to digest than one big meal, so a kind of 20/4 regimen and I add some whole food carbs which make me eat less in general, also keep me satiated in the evening so I can skip dinner some days.
Let me tell you, as a person who battles chronic inflammation due to cystic fibrosis or the cystic fibrosis causes chronic inflammation, Intermittent fasting 16:8 or sometimes OMAD over the past three months has helped to reduce the inflammation in my system to the point where my lungs feel so clear! I now experience no chest tightness or shortness of breath. I do 5 days of 16:8 intermittent fasting, one 24 hour fast and Sunday is my sabbath. My hair also grew back (Human Growth Hormone) I have not had as much hair as I now have on my head since 2016. I have not felt this good in over a decade. I never even knew I could feel this good. IF is a game changer. If I, who am battling cystic fibrosis can intermittent fast, you most likely can too! Also, the pre diabetes has been put in remission. Imagine what IF will do for you! 🫵 *WHEN YOU’RE NOT EATING YOUR BODY IS HEALING!* 🇨🇦
I've only eaten 1 big meal 5 days out of the last 17 days ... I'd guess that I'm uninflammaging 😉😁 Also getting super shredded... abs by Christmas ...fingers crossed 💪😎
Since I started regularly keeping 18-20 hour fasts, my sleep apneia decreased, my IBS largely decreased, my diverticulitis is pretty much non-existent so long as I don't eat bread. My Thyroid numbers got a ton better, I was able to get on a good weight loss plan where I'm average 1.4 lbs per week (I'm still powerlifting and gaining strength and muscle), and I've managed a few 36-42 hour fasts along the way. I suspect there's a lot more benefits out there than we realize when we combine fasting and lower carb and sugar consumption as i typically eat less than a 100 grams of carbs a day (mostly avocados, squash and zucchini) unless it's the day before my heavy chest day (then I go to 120 from protein pancakes [Kodiak mix plus unflavored whey protein, milk and eggs for 60 grams of protein and 72 grams of carbs). I've dropped 36 lbs of fat in five months.
Very interesting. I have just had a high C reactive Protein result which is not great. I've just started intermittent fasting along with a low carb diet. Do you think this will help bring down my numbers?
yes, got to keep those cytokines from causing bad ill effects. i try to keep the regular schedule of omad & it is usually after work. so, different times of the year, means different times of darkness. most of the time i can get through the day using salted water & coffee, but this is the meal time & i lean toward a carnivorous diet w/out any fruits or veggies. more difficult to keep on track when days off mean being around home. thank you, *****5*****
Prayers are a huge positive on the whole body. You have mainly 2 things which create stress in your body, your gut and your brain(perception of life). If you pray you relax often, prayer is also often a easy way to take the burden of your own shoulders "God will help me/guide me". It's like a positive selftalk, absolutely huge benefits from doing that every evening, it will decrease stress tremendously. Cuz otherwise you're stuck alone with your problems, feeling overbeared and unable to solve them will create a vicious cycle of unhappiness through your whole body impairing gutfunction and all cells.
Please can you fo a video about the best diet (things to avoid and things to include) for someone with emphysema? Is fasting or IF useful to activate stem cells and reduce inflammation? Are there essential oils to help? Would keto diets be better as carbs produce more CO2 in the body during metabolism?
in islam we know carnvoire and fasting is the best thing cuz quran is the book of signs prophet mohammed he always fast monday and thursday and before almost 6000 years this story mentioned in quran proof thats meat is the best when god bless isreal ppl with fat and beef only but they feel boring of meat they said in quran to muses we will no longer be patient with one type of food( beef). Call on your Lord to bring forth for us some of the produce of the earth, green herbs and cucumbers, corn, lentils and onions. ' 'What! ' he answered, 'Would you exchange that which is lesser for what is better? Go down into Egypt, there you shall find all that you have asked
Endotoxins is another big word to be on the look out for. Plus macrophages as they also relate to arterial plaque. I really want someone to study the effect of fasting plus a low sugar dies (sub 20 grams per day between refined and non-refined sources)on arterial plaque as it looks like to me, based on what I've seen. Theoretically it should reduce heart risk disease while also enhancing weight loss.
Hey Mike! Question..I have been doing carnivore with great results but it seems if I eat a good amount of fat I have breathing issues. Any idea why this could trigger an asthmatic episode?
I’ve been doing intermittent fasting every day for the last 3 month 18h ( also reduced amount of carbs greatly), made blood analysis lately and found out that my insulin level decreased until 2 which is below the norm. Before it was 4-6. Thinking should I give up IF or should I add more complex carbs into my diet.
“Norm” isn’t always healthy/ideal, just what’s a statistical average: unless you have health issues (no idea how that’d be and why) why would you want to intentionally become MORE insulin resistant just because you’re below normal?
The ending confused me a bit. Was he saying dont eat high carb because that would screw with the inflimation . I wish he would have come out and said something and made the video three minutes longer. I'm just assuming he was thinking that since we all know how they both feel about carbs 😊
How does this compare to exercise? The most obvious problem with fasting is that you deprive the body of nutrition which is needed increasingly with age. Is there anything fasting does for you that exercise doesn't? There's lots of good stuff that exercise does that fasting doesn't.

The ending confused me a bit. Was he saying dont eat high carb because that would screw with the inflimation . I wish he would have come out and said something and made the video three minutes longer. I'm just assuming he was thinking that since we all know how they both feel about carbs 😊
Whatever! I like him just the way he is.

IF it may work independently of keto or not, I just know for myself from my experience I could never ever be doing IF without being on keto.
How about eating once a week

How does this compare to exercise? The most obvious problem with fasting is that you deprive the body of nutrition which is needed increasingly with age. Is there anything fasting does for you that exercise doesn't? There's lots of good stuff that exercise does that fasting doesn't.

Let me tell you, as a person who battles chronic inflammation due to cystic fibrosis or the cystic fibrosis causes chronic inflammation, Intermittent fasting 16:8 or sometimes OMAD over the past three months has helped to reduce the inflammation in my system to the point where my lungs feel so clear! I now experience no chest tightness or shortness of breath. I do 5 days of 16:8 intermittent fasting, one 24 hour fast and Sunday is my sabbath. My hair also grew back (Human Growth Hormone) I have not had as much hair as I now have on my head since 2016. I have not felt this good in over a decade. I never even knew I could feel this good. IF is a game changer. If I, who am battling cystic fibrosis can intermittent fast, you most likely can too! Also, the pre diabetes has been put in remission. Imagine what IF will do for you! 🫵 *WHEN YOU’RE NOT EATING YOUR BODY IS HEALING!* 🇨🇦
