Dave is such a great motivation. I have his book, and am getting ready to read it. I changed my health and life through intermittent fasting and the KETO diet. I lost 35 pounds in 4 months and have kept it off for 7 months now without counting calories or worrying about gaining it back. I am 68 and am hoping to heal my lumbar stenosis. I walk/run every morning and get that sunlight in my eyes! My thinning hair is getting thicker. I am aging backwards.
It’s Jeffrey, I’ve noticed, intermittent fasting has really improved my daily efficiency. I believe my stomach is shrinking, I can’t eat as much as I used to. Anyone else feel the same?
Yes, intermittent fasting has helped me greatly. I actually do a lectin free (Dr Gundry’s) diet with Dr Berg’s Healthy KETO plan. I eat at 1-2 pm and at 6 pm. I’m never hungry. I also gave up all alcohol because it prevents ketosis. I have more energy than I’ve had in 20 years and I’m 70.
I have been 4 full days without trying any type of food and after the first two days of anxiety, today I feel wonderful. I plan to take it as far as possible while I still have belly fat to burn.
Years ago, my wife used to go abroad with her job, for a couple of weeks, for a couple of times a year, and because I did most of the cooking. So when she was away I couldn’t be bothered cooking, and I would go four or five days without eating.....and the more I went without eating the better I felt..obviously you can’t do that for weeks on end, but you aren’t going to starve to death in a week without food..
I have been intermittent fasting for about one and a half years. I feel great, and my blood pressure has gone down. So has my weight: Six kilos, which means that I look slim now. One thing I think has made this so easy is that I retired a little more than one year ago. My kids are grownup, and I am living by myself. So I can do as I please, bye what I want, and go for a really long walk without having to account for my day. Or skip this, and just do my daily routine exercises, or whatever I feel like. At the same time, nobody would interfere if I made a feast. I used to eat pasta quite often. I don't any more, but I have no prohibitions whatsoever. So, once in a while, I will still have a meal including pasta. Only, it actually doesn't appeal so much to me now. It simply isn't good for me. This is what intermittent fasting has really done to me: I am responsible for my own health, for my life, and no-one else is. Least of all my doctor! - Just some thoughts from a danish woman of 66.
I think the best thing to do is to listen to your body's natural rhythm about when it's hungry. I eat breakfast, lunch, then I eat supper at around 3 pm (that's when I'd get hungry, so I stopped fighting it. Now I eat then and I don't get hungry all evening). So my 17 hour fast goes until breakfast. I imagine that other people have natural hunger points at different times, but if you go with whatever that may be, you'll find that the fast is ridiculously easy.
My father in-law lived in the Highlands of Peru and he would take cold showers in freezing conditions in those Sierras. He lived healthy and lived to be 94 years old.
Both Dr. Gundry and Dave Asprey are my heroes. What a blessing to have both if you on this podcast. Thank you for all your research and groundbreaking discoveries. They have helped me very much.
I hate eating in the morning because I feel full upon waking up whether I had dinner or not the night before. It's the reason why fasting comes to me naturally. I've been like this for over 40 years. Of course, it freaks me out growing up in the 1980s because the media kept telling us that breakfast is the most important of the day. I tried eating breakfast in the morning but I kept falling back to not eating.
Huevos Rancheros (eggs & beans protein) with red salsa (lycopene) & avocados (healthy fat) are among the BEST breakfasts to quench hunger pangs for a long time! Grew up fasting & it was totally normal for everyone to do it. We ate no fast or junk foods, nor any of the typical 'American breakfast' foods, like cereals, muffins, pancakes, or waffles. Donuts were known as DoNots! Cookies or brownies simply did not exist in our home. French-style fluffy sponge cakes with berries & fresh cream were our sweet choice, but a rare treat. Fish & Pork were never part of the diet, neither were seafood/shellfish. Lentils, legumes, rice, & yogurt were common, as were pistachios, mulberries, walnuts, & pomegranates. But really the main point is be disciplined & have emotional self-mastery (fasting & meditation help with this)! Don't eat except for hunger & even then only 80% full max. Know that food is like medicine, not some type of social lubricant! Drink tea & snack on fruits & nuts at social events, instead. I continue a similar life-style despite a global life & haven't changed sizes in over 20 years since teen years!

@@_____J______ There is more up to date information about lectins out there now. They are not the villains they were previously believed to be. In fact, lectins are present in all plant foods, but raw legumes (beans, peas, lentils, soybeans, peanuts), and whole grains, such as wheat, contain the highest amounts of lectins. Lectins are water-soluble and typically found on the outer surfaces of a food so soaking and cooking in water removes them. However, they must be cooked at a reasonably high temperature, not in a slow cooker. Sprouting grains and beans will also deactivate lectins. Capsaicin may, in large amounts, cause problems, but when consumed in reasonable amounts is actually good for the liver, and can kill harmful bacteria if consumed at the same time as foods likely to contain bacteria. Tomatoes also, are incredibly good for you, as long as you don't overeat them. They contain Vitamins A and C, and an antioxidant called lycopene. These nutrients may reduce inflammation and reduce the risk of several chronic diseases. These are just some of the benefits of consuming these foods, and some practices that will help you receive the most benefit from them. 😄😄👍👍
I was intermittent fasting and didn't know it. I just naturally ate a late light breakfast and an early big dinner. A light dinner or a late dinner means I sleep poorly and don't feel well the next day. It was always the opposite of the advice on how to eat but it worked for me.
You guys are 2 of my favorite people to listen to and learn from! Thank you both for all the insights. Dave, reading your book now! Dr. Gundry, can't wait for your new book! 🙌
I have stop eating around 7 and go to bed at 9 wake up at 6 now I feel great my lunch at work everyday is at 12:30 and I'm so busy at work I dont think about food now I know i ate because i was bored and not hungry. Now on the weekend when I'm off I know now not to sit idle. I want to go keto but still doing research. In the mean time I cut my carbs back immensely I still eat mac n cheese and potatoes but i pick and choose when and only a small portion. I switched to having my meals on smaller plates. Weight is coming off slowly but surely.
So true about Keto... I did full-bro keto w IF and at the 3-4 months mark I experienced MASSIVE hair loss. It was so alarming I had to stop keto. But keto changed my life for the better and it was a great starting/reset point for my health. I’m glad to know now keto is not for the long haul. TY Dr. Gundry and Dave. 🙏🏻 But intermittent fasting, I will always do w a low-carb, high vegetable, good fats, low animal protein diet. 👍🏻
The hair loss most people experience on keto is due to rapid weight loss. It's called telogen effluvium and is temporary. Any rapid weight loss including that from stomach bypass surgery or a very low calorie diet will do the same thing. Even if you had stayed on strict keto or carnivore your hair would have grown back because those diets are not calorie or nutrient deficient.
His skin looks good BUT if he would give up the bean it would look perfect. Coffee is drying. Not to mention that caffeine is a toxin. I love both these guys though.
Awesome episode. I can't talk to people about fasting, they always have a go at me and say it is bad and you need to have breakfast. Can't wait for the new book - The Energy Paradox
2 questions: 1-raw pistachios or roasted to get the benefits from melatonin & polyphenol? 2-what is the rationale behind specifically roasting a purple sweet then refrigerate & reheat? I already love eating these 2 items so I want to draw out the most benefit from them? Thank you Dr. Gundry!!!
I wish he would answer questions, but I don’t think he ever does. I understand he may not have time to answer All questions, but I’ve never seen him answer even one.
No 2..it about resistance starch...starch that was cooked and cooled become resistant starch ..somehow it molecular structure change so it s not absorb freely like normal carbs....Google it...can reheat it again to eat it
Re: #1: Good question. I also wonder if most people are even supposed to eat pistachios. Where do they naturally grow? When? And what is the actual bioavailbility of the melatonin and polyphenol in a proper serving?
Dave explained why I always crave fatty and sugar-laden foods a couple days after a weekend at my parents house...It's like my blood chemistry is so out of whack. I have to indulge in a few cravings in order to reset. Anyone else have this experience?
Thanks Dr Gundry and Dave Aspey! I really enjoyed this video and I am realizing that I am doing some of the things you guys are talking about naturally. It’s reassuring to hear this and confirm I am on the right track for myself. As we are all different and its important to be aware of this.
I am keto. I go from keto to carnivore now. I am also gluten intolerant. Had my DNA done and I am a slow carb metabolizer. This means keto/carnivore is my perfect diet. Sometimes I go heavy on the veggies. I can not eat beans, can’t digest them. I got the hunter gatherers genes. Also, I took MCT for 2 years and it raised my cholesterol to 267. It was 160 before using it. DNA says I must stay away from saturated fats. Got my cholesterol down to 227. I use olive oil which I love. Bought an air fryer and I love it. We are all different. Keto/carnivore works for me. Went from 263lbs to 169. However, I must exercise 4-5 days per week, because I am a fat making machine.
iam fasting 18 hours / day without caffeine and with a high carb vegan diet i don't feel hunger at all ! you just gonna let your body get used to it for a day then its gonna work perfectly every day forward .
I've always believed that cereal was/is garbage...why else would there be an aisle dedicated to them in the stores. Must be effective too, because it's always been like that since the 70s.
Dr.Gundry thank you, bought your book at first frightened me not eating Mediterranean veges and legumes but later on except aubergine and courgettes rest is fine cause you can't pressure cook these vege's but no you can.I saw an old relative man ,cooking his summer vegies this way .But still confused with lentils always cooked them in Pressure Cooker but hate them to see getting soft .Recently listening to Dr.Asprey but liked him and his methods & tecnigues as well.Thank you all opening our eyes.Shall I change my fasting times, to fool this otofadji or best to stick same time please, if you kindly reply to me.Many Thanks changed many of lives .My allegies which began after Biontech vaccine finished quickly after IF diet.Will definetly buy Dr.Asperey's book and your book of course Dr Gundry.Love you both and big believers of you to be honest get used to Asperey after listening twice or more.May be some interviewer talked to much and missed the point but Dr.Gundry never interrupted you and understood better so Respected Dr.Gundry twice.Looking forward for your new books.God Bless you 🙏🙏
I changed my habit and i have my breakfast around noon. I am not hungry in the morning. I drink a big glass of lemon water, sometimes with curcuma and honey.😂👍
I finally gave up breakfast 6 months ago and stopped the torture that I had to eat breakfast because is the most important meal of the day even tho it felt that my stomach could eat anyway.
I gradually got into this over weeks and found that it was very easy just to post pone breakfast, till noon or 1. Decide to try it and Once you just put your toe in the pond - it’s pretty easy. So much great information out there thank you Dr. Gundry and Mr. Asprey.
How is it for people who work overnight? Around noon I am sleeping so I can’t eat. My work schedule is 9 pm - 7:30 am. Any ideas on this? Can the fasting clock be adjusted or is it only for people who work normally during the day?
Thank you for the important information. I usually prefer to skip breakfast for my i f diet. My question is if it is ok to have coconut oil in my sugarless coffee in the morning. I am not on a keto diet.
Eat based on whatever makes you look, feel, and perform your best. Everyone is different based on many factors such as age, health condition, and goals. So generally it's best to start this experiment by eating Seasonal + Ancestral.
Do what works for you and go by your markers at the doctors office! If your blood sugar is good and your numbers are right weight etc. then don’t sweat it! We all have to listen to our body telling us if the food actually is agreeing with us!
Ordered the book earlier this week! Can’t wait to get. Have several books from both of these guys! So knowledgeable...love what I gain from them! Thank you so much for getting together!
Yes, I need to buy your books both of you! But the gold nuggets dropping out of both of your mouths! This helps tremendously on my health and weight loss journey, thanks!
Good information all the way through the video. I learned a couple of things. Now, I know how the word Break/fast is derived, makes sense. Enjoyed your guest Dave Asprey, you both brought out good points. Thanks again Dr. Grundy, sharing is caring!
I tried not eating breakfast and found that I'm really not even that hungry for the first few hours after waking up, just thirsty. I can just drink water and I'm not even particularly hungry. I think the body dries out overnight, especially in winter if you don't have a humidifier, I'm constantly thirsty for a couple hours. BTW it's important to drink deionized water, not tap water, which obviously has a lot of crud in it. Just make sure you get enough minerals in your diet because you won't get any from the deionized water. I've been drinking it exclusively for the last several years and feel great. Sites that say it's harmful are full of it. How is pure water harmful, unless you don't get enough minerals?
Good talk! I'm going to have to eat whatever is available though. I'm here to learn how to deal with that the best I can. P S. I ALWAYS "ate" the Pistachio's "feather!"
I have the same question, spinach and kale are part of many of the meals that I thought I could eat. Can you expand on why is contra productive after fasting and when and how is best to eat them? I am concerned when there is contradictory advise. Some authors are totally against olive oil and coconut oil. What to do?
Actually it wasn't just the Industrial revolution; in agrarian societies pre-I Rev. farmers would get up at 4 a.m. to milk cows etc. then have a communal meal and head out to till the fields and like I believe the 7th Day Adventists their dinner was our lunch. Margaret Visser or or Visner, didn't look it up my apologies is an anthropologist who wrote a fascinating book titled The Importance of Dinner which explores cultural habits all over the world and also diachronically in Western societies. The word Dinner over time kept getting moved on later and later certainly for the privileged classes who would eat at 10 p.m. after soirees etc. So cereal companies certainly; Industrial Revolution absolutely but there was a piece I believe you missed. Great interview will read both your books!!
Great question. I also wonder if most people are even supposed to eat pistachios. Where do they naturally grow? When? And what is the actual bioavailbility of the melatonin and polyphenol in a proper serving?
You dpn't need carbs in diet to get glucose for the brain. We produce from fat and proteins the glucose we need and the quantitiy we need. And I also made a complete 5 days fasting, I have made others but no so long before but this one reseted everything on me, even that I exercise thaty I have lost a lot of weight and fat, even that I eat less, with this long fasting everything on me reseted, I sleep better, I eat less and I get ver satisfied very quickly with a lot less food. And I finished on Wednesday and now saturday I have lost a lot of fat in my waist even that I am eating. An ocasionally full long fasting is recommended.- Indeed, I know now that feel a lot better not eating than eating, I feel VERY GOOD.
But its true, if you go to fasting or keto too soon that could be something bad. But when you had fiex all metabolics problems and you do it, this is something great. But as long as ypu have IR you will be lacking nutrients.
I eat extremely high fat and stay in ketosis and feel much better like this. If I add carbs and break ketosis, then won't all the excess fat do damage to my body if I am no longer fat adapted?
Dont skip breakfast skip dinner. When u stop eating around 3-4 pm u get naturally hungry in the morning around 8-9 am and nothing wrong w having breakfast an hour after u wake up. Instead u r all depending on coffee which s not healthy anyway.
Who says, I drink my coffee at least 2 hours after I get up, so I can let my body do it's thing.🤠 I don't don't get hungry until late in the day, so why eat right after I get up.
I usually get my books from the library and only purchase if books provide unbelievable information. I hv purchased both Gundry’s and Asprey’s books. Plant & Longevity Paradox and Super Human>>> amazing life enhancing books! 😁
I fasted for 4 days with nothing but water, salt, and black coffee. The first day was mildly difficult, the second day I was feeling pretty good. The third day was surreal, I was so calm and peaceful I almost felt like I was on drugs (wasn’t). However, I could only do light exercise for short amounts of time. The fourth day I was not hungry at all but I did begin to dream about eating food again. I had my favorite soup from El Torito to break my fast on the fifth day. Normally I would scarf down a bowl in just a few minutes but this time I was full halfway through and had to stop. I lost 6 pounds total, but netted 4 pounds because 2 pounds were water loss. So it’s basically a pound per day of permanent fat loss. I would love to try a six day water fast. Has anyone gone longer than four days?
I love IF, fast for 24 hours once a week and 48 hours once a month. As for breaking a fast late in the day, however, that’s nothing which has ever worked for me. I prefer to eat between 6:00AM and 10:00AM and then only eat again the next day. That’s the only way time-restricted feeding has ever been pleasant for me to do.
Dr. Gundry, do you have any recommendation for allergy to the skin after I use to wash my clothes A certain kind off laundry detergent. The part that I’m concerned the most is the irritation that cost me in the three openings that I got three months ago when my gallbladder was taken out. Gina
I am allergic to the Asteraceae plant family how can I work with this. I have lost 70lbs and need to loose 60 lbs more. But have completely stalled after going into full menopause. I am so struggling to learn to fish for my body but I am trying.
I heard somewhere along the way that you can have the coffee but no milk. Black coffee ☕️ only. Please check into it because I don’t know what kind of fast you are on! 🙂
Enjoyed this interview very much. Great information from you both. Much thanks. Favorite line from Dr Gundry, "Eat those funny looking things in the pistachio." I must be odd because I always have eaten those funny looking things. Lol. 😂
Have a “bullet proof” coffee❣️ Coffee, heavy cream( not too much), & a pat of real butter, NO to sweetners of any kind. You won’t need them. Thank Mr.Asprey for that one. Most love the coffee & the magic it performs in the body.
@@c.l.montoya2972 Can we have have this bulletproof coffee in a fasted state and even when we are not on a keto diet??? Also, hope this doesn't break our fast for fat loss?
@@thetree7694 Yes. Heavy cream (without the sugar and whipping). It doesn’t break the fast, it’s a helpful hack. Though, YMMV & it’s debated within the IF and/or Keto communities but with most experts & studies fine with it.
I really like the idea of eating once a day and I have been doing it for many years but what do you do about bowel movements? I have issues with that and after some research found out that it is sluggish bowel or low intestinal motility and the bm is never soft no matter how good the diet is, I even take prebiotic fiber at night, take prebiotic supplements and I don't eat junk food. Can you address these issues? I really struggle with that, like how to increase the frequency of bms and Keep them soft, it really affects the quality of my life.
Are you drinking enough water during the day? There is something called Psylinium Husk (Isabgol). You will find it at Indian stores or online. Try taking one spoon of it with water, the last thing when you close your window.
@@thetree7694 yes, I am taking water throughout the day, about 2 to 3 litres. I know about isabgol, I take lactifiber at night which is the husk with prebiotic sugar lactitol. Recently I started taking a lemon in quarter cup water and some radish as salad and it seems to have helped in the texture of the stools, like stools are little softer, in addition to all the things that I am taking, else it used to be pebbles like.
Good question. I also wonder if most people are even supposed to eat pistachios. Where do they naturally grow? When? And what is the actual bioavailbility of the melatonin and polyphenol in a proper serving?
Looking forward to The Energy Paradox book. Dr Gandry, any chance of inviting Dr William Davies and Dr. Peter D’Adamo on your show. They have a different perspective on nutrition and I bet they will be very interesting guests.
Hello Dr. Gundry! My boyfriend and I had some Coconut Bliss brand ice cream last night, and it had coconut syrup as a sweetener. I read a little about it online, and said it had a lower glycemic index than regular sugar, is it still a fructose trap? Or is coconut syrup an acceptable alternative to sugar?
Mentioning your boyfriend was irrelevant. So was ice cream. Here's your rephrased question: is Coconut Palm Sugar a healthy alternative to Raw cane Sugar? Answer is No. Your best bets are Erithrotol and Stevia.
@@judylloyd7901 well not rili irrelevant bks she wont mention you or androc hehehe, so its bks maybe its her boyfirend who started to eat that kind of ciecream so give her the freedom to say that hahay😁

My father in-law lived in the Highlands of Peru and he would take cold showers in freezing conditions in those Sierras. He lived healthy and lived to be 94 years old.
After 30 years of intermittent fasting experience I think that the best food to break a fast is bone broth
Same here.
I will try that, what kind of bone broth?, thanks.
@@gshrdy5415 Organic
Absolutely agree especially in the winter. I break in the summer with a smoothie but it has to be hot out and only a handful of berries.

You guys are 2 of my favorite people to listen to and learn from! Thank you both for all the insights. Dave, reading your book now! Dr. Gundry, can't wait for your new book! 🙌
I have stop eating around 7 and go to bed at 9 wake up at 6 now I feel great my lunch at work everyday is at 12:30 and I'm so busy at work I dont think about food now I know i ate because i was bored and not hungry. Now on the weekend when I'm off I know now not to sit idle. I want to go keto but still doing research. In the mean time I cut my carbs back immensely I still eat mac n cheese and potatoes but i pick and choose when and only a small portion. I switched to having my meals on smaller plates. Weight is coming off slowly but surely.
So true about Keto... I did full-bro keto w IF and at the 3-4 months mark I experienced MASSIVE hair loss. It was so alarming I had to stop keto. But keto changed my life for the better and it was a great starting/reset point for my health. I’m glad to know now keto is not for the long haul. TY Dr. Gundry and Dave. 🙏🏻
But intermittent fasting, I will always do w a low-carb, high vegetable, good fats, low animal protein diet. 👍🏻
I was the opposite and had alopecia in my beard and keto grew it back as I was insulin resistant, maybe I should stop before that happens in my future
The hair loss most people experience on keto is due to rapid weight loss. It's called telogen effluvium and is temporary. Any rapid weight loss including that from stomach bypass surgery or a very low calorie diet will do the same thing. Even if you had stayed on strict keto or carnivore your hair would have grown back because those diets are not calorie or nutrient deficient.
Dave....your skin is beautiful. Tell-tale of your eating habits. A great role model!
His skin looks good BUT if he would give up the bean it would look perfect. Coffee is drying. Not to mention that caffeine is a toxin. I love both these guys though.
Is it advisable for an 80-year old senior lady to go on intermittent fast? How do I start? Thanks
Awesome episode. I can't talk to people about fasting, they always have a go at me and say it is bad and you need to have breakfast.
Can't wait for the new book - The Energy Paradox
Did he me tion “ the energy paradox book?
2 questions: 1-raw pistachios or roasted to get the benefits from melatonin & polyphenol? 2-what is the rationale behind specifically roasting a purple sweet then refrigerate & reheat? I already love eating these 2 items so I want to draw out the most benefit from them? Thank you Dr. Gundry!!!
I wish he would answer questions, but I don’t think he ever does. I understand he may not have time to answer All questions, but I’ve never seen him answer even one.
No 2..it about resistance starch...starch that was cooked and cooled become resistant starch ..somehow it molecular structure change so it s not absorb freely like normal carbs....Google it...can reheat it again to eat it
Re: #1: Good question. I also wonder if most people are even supposed to eat pistachios. Where do they naturally grow? When? And what is the actual bioavailbility of the melatonin and polyphenol in a proper serving?
Dave explained why I always crave fatty and sugar-laden foods a couple days after a weekend at my parents house...It's like my blood chemistry is so out of whack. I have to indulge in a few cravings in order to reset. Anyone else have this experience?
Thanks Dr Gundry and Dave Aspey! I really enjoyed this video and I am realizing that I am doing some of the things you guys are talking about naturally. It’s reassuring to hear this and confirm I am on the right track for myself. As we are all different and its important to be aware of this.
Intermittent fasting = FREEDOM!
I am keto. I go from keto to carnivore now. I am also gluten intolerant. Had my DNA done and I am a slow carb metabolizer. This means keto/carnivore is my perfect diet. Sometimes I go heavy on the veggies. I can not eat beans, can’t digest them. I got the hunter gatherers genes. Also, I took MCT for 2 years and it raised my cholesterol to 267. It was 160 before using it. DNA says I must stay away from saturated fats. Got my cholesterol down to 227. I use olive oil which I love. Bought an air fryer and I love it. We are all different. Keto/carnivore works for me. Went from 263lbs to 169. However, I must exercise 4-5 days per week, because I am a fat making machine.
👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽thanks for sharing
How do you go keto/ carnivore without taking in alot of saturated fats?
Dr. G, what is your take on Histamine vs fermented foods?
Please enlighten us 🥺
iam fasting 18 hours / day without caffeine and with a high carb vegan diet i don't feel hunger at all ! you just gonna let your body get used to it for a day then its gonna work perfectly every day forward .
True
Is it Beneficial for a 10-year-old child to skip breakfast and have maybe two meals a day? I do OMAD and fast ~ 96 hours a week. Love it
No. The child is still growing.
I've always believed that cereal was/is garbage...why else would there be an aisle dedicated to them in the stores. Must be effective too, because it's always been like that since the 70s.
Cereal is one of the saddest inventions. I switched it to dessert and then realized it's not even fit for that.
Dr.Gundry thank you, bought your book at first frightened me not eating Mediterranean veges and legumes but later on except aubergine and courgettes rest is fine cause you can't pressure cook these vege's but no you can.I saw an old relative man ,cooking his summer vegies this way .But still confused with lentils always cooked them in Pressure Cooker but hate them to see getting soft .Recently listening to Dr.Asprey but liked him and his methods & tecnigues as well.Thank you all opening our eyes.Shall I change my fasting times, to fool this otofadji or best to stick same time please, if you kindly reply to me.Many Thanks changed many of lives
.My allegies which began after Biontech vaccine finished quickly after IF diet.Will definetly buy Dr.Asperey's book and your book of course Dr Gundry.Love you both and big believers of you to be honest get used to Asperey after listening twice or more.May be some interviewer talked to much and missed the point but Dr.Gundry never interrupted you and understood better so Respected Dr.Gundry twice.Looking forward for your new books.God Bless you 🙏🙏
he said something like - "u can't fast when your body/gut is in "bad shape" to begin with." So what should u do to "reset" first?
try taking out sugars and wheat and anyrthing made with wheat is a good start.:)
Self excerpt and see what happens. That is what I have done.🤠
You both are amazing 👏 you are changing my life since I start reading your books 📚 thank you for everything you do ❤
Thanks Dr Gundry for weekly Podcast....it’s most in-depth and holistic deep dive !
I changed my habit and i have my breakfast around noon. I am not hungry in the morning. I drink a big glass of lemon water, sometimes with curcuma and honey.😂👍
That's excellent
I finally gave up breakfast 6 months ago and stopped the torture that I had to eat breakfast because is the most important meal of the day even tho it felt that my stomach could eat anyway.
Bad foods-
1. lectins
2. phytins
3. oxolates
4. histamins
5. mycotoxins
Thank you
I gradually got into this over weeks and found that it was very easy just to post pone breakfast, till noon or 1. Decide to try it and Once you just put your toe in the pond - it’s pretty easy. So much great information out there thank you Dr. Gundry and Mr. Asprey.
How is it for people who work overnight? Around noon I am sleeping so I can’t eat. My work schedule is 9 pm - 7:30 am. Any ideas on this? Can the fasting clock be adjusted or is it only for people who work normally during the day?
I am a muslim and I do IF every day and I fast dry fasting on Mondays and Thursdays following the teachings of Prophet Mohammed
Marry a child? Bath that child! 🤮
I just lifted with mo yesterday
Thank you for the important information. I usually prefer to skip breakfast for my i f diet. My question is if it is ok to have coconut oil in my sugarless coffee in the morning. I am not on a keto diet.
Surely coconut is best , eya the best oil is coconut
Great podcast boys! I find Dr. Gundry's voice reminds me of David Letterman's a bit.
Yeah they definitely have similar voices 😀
Omg 😱 never realized it. 😛
Daves looking good lately!! Loving this
Now I'm just confused as heck!! Ive been plant based for over 7 years now, and by what I'm hearing is that I've been doing it all wrong.. WTH!
It all depends on who you decide to listen to. I personally eat what makes me feel the best.
Eat based on whatever makes you look, feel, and perform your best. Everyone is different based on many factors such as age, health condition, and goals. So generally it's best to start this experiment by eating Seasonal + Ancestral.
Do what works for you and go by your markers at the doctors office! If your blood sugar is good and your numbers are right weight etc. then don’t sweat it! We all have to listen to our body telling us if the food actually is agreeing with us!
@@ggof3373 noooo, u cant tech people whatever u decide to eat when they want a solution to their wsickness or obesity
Ordered the book earlier this week! Can’t wait to get. Have several books from both of these guys! So knowledgeable...love what I gain from them! Thank you so much for getting together!
Wow. Finally someone mentions histamine, even if only in passing.
Am suffering too of histamine intolerance,help how to overcome,thnx
What no leftovers?
I often cook stews for 3 days .
What is histamine?
Histamine is the most important thing to study right now in medicine, Long Covid is primarily caused by mast cell dysfunction.
@@aidamostajo9278 Low histamine diet, take anti histamines, quercetin, bromelain, resveratrol, fasting!
Very informative Dave you are a gift! Thanks for this podcast Mr Gundry!
Most people need kind of enlightment to start the fasting, to change their eating habits. This is why few people can go on this path.
It's a shame, but true
🤠
Dave Asprey has the most gorgeous smile ever!!
So, even organic peanut butter is bad for us? If yes, why?
So great..just full of information that is so needed! Dr. Grundy can you move to Guam!! What a haul of nutritional knowledge..thank you, thank you!!
Instead of coffee I have chamomile tea or Green tea. I also take MCT OIL.
Would love to see dr berg and dr gundry talks about ketosis. It would be so interesting!! 😄
The best
I'm curious why neither mentioned "Seasonal Ketosis" - perhaps also partly dependent on ancestry/ethnicity.
Great episode, lots of logic, the only thing I don't argue against.
Dr. Grundy eat some Avena for breakfast and you will be good for the next 5 hrs. I am 84 and this has always been my breakfast Thanks
Yes, I need to buy your books both of you! But the gold nuggets dropping out of both of your mouths! This helps tremendously on my health and weight loss journey, thanks!
Thank you, hope my love ones will listen to your video
Good information all the way through the video. I learned a couple of things. Now, I know how the word Break/fast is derived, makes sense. Enjoyed your guest Dave Asprey, you both brought out good points. Thanks again Dr. Grundy, sharing is caring!
Hi, what else can I have instead of black coffee with MCT oil on intermitten fasting? An I drink teas instead ? Thank you
I tried not eating breakfast and found that I'm really not even that hungry for the first few hours after waking up, just thirsty. I can just drink water and I'm not even particularly hungry. I think the body dries out overnight, especially in winter if you don't have a humidifier, I'm constantly thirsty for a couple hours. BTW it's important to drink deionized water, not tap water, which obviously has a lot of crud in it. Just make sure you get enough minerals in your diet because you won't get any from the deionized water. I've been drinking it exclusively for the last several years and feel great. Sites that say it's harmful are full of it. How is pure water harmful, unless you don't get enough minerals?
Have a big cold glass of Apple cider vinegar,when you wake, then have a big brunch at about 11h45
Good talk! I'm going to have to eat whatever is available though. I'm here to learn how to deal with that the best I can.
P S. I ALWAYS "ate" the Pistachio's "feather!"
Thanks dr Grundy - best health video I have ever seen !
I heard Spinach and Kale are not good for eating after fasting?? I saw these veggies on YES in Dr. Gundry's Lectin list. Can someone clarify?
Exactly I heard the same also heard spinach being acidic
must have heard wrong, please share to further discuss, been fasting for the past 5 years, love spinach and eat it all the time to break my fast.
I have the same question, spinach and kale are part of many of the meals that I thought I could eat. Can you expand on why is contra productive after fasting and when and how is best to eat them? I am concerned when there is contradictory advise. Some authors are totally against olive oil and coconut oil. What to do?
They are on the oxalate list. And quite frankly speaking very high amount of oxalate. Watch Sally Norton's podcast, or Elliot Overton.
spinach and kale have high oxalates hence trigger a histamine response
I eat my Cuban black beans from time to time. My grey Grandma and Grandma ate them. They lived to be 103 years old.
Actually it wasn't just the Industrial revolution; in agrarian societies pre-I Rev. farmers would get up at 4 a.m. to milk cows etc. then have a communal meal and head out to till the fields and like I believe the 7th Day Adventists their dinner was our lunch. Margaret Visser or or Visner, didn't look it up my apologies is an anthropologist who wrote a fascinating book titled The Importance of Dinner which explores cultural habits all over the world and also diachronically in Western societies. The word Dinner over time kept getting moved on later and later certainly for the privileged classes who would eat at 10 p.m. after soirees etc. So cereal companies certainly; Industrial Revolution absolutely but there was a piece I believe you missed. Great interview will read both your books!!
I really enjoyed this podcast. Thank u.
Why bell pepper is bad for fasting?
I drink a cup of bulletproof coffee every day.
White rice is not whole gain?
Great Podcast thank you so much Dr Gundry and Dave Asprey, question please, which PIstachio's do you recommend, Raw or the Roasted Salted kind ?
Great question. I also wonder if most people are even supposed to eat pistachios. Where do they naturally grow? When? And what is the actual bioavailbility of the melatonin and polyphenol in a proper serving?
How to break a fast correctly and with which foods.
What about cayenne pepper sprinkled on food?
You dpn't need carbs in diet to get glucose for the brain. We produce from fat and proteins the glucose we need and the quantitiy we need.
And I also made a complete 5 days fasting, I have made others but no so long before but this one reseted everything on me, even that I exercise thaty I have lost a lot of weight and fat, even that I eat less, with this long fasting everything on me reseted, I sleep better, I eat less and I get ver satisfied very quickly with a lot less food. And I finished on Wednesday and now saturday I have lost a lot of fat in my waist even that I am eating. An ocasionally full long fasting is recommended.- Indeed, I know now that feel a lot better not eating than eating, I feel VERY GOOD.
But its true, if you go to fasting or keto too soon that could be something bad. But when you had fiex all metabolics problems and you do it, this is something great. But as long as ypu have IR you will be lacking nutrients.
Love those gold nuggets of information, pistachios/melatonin!
This was a really great episode!! Love Dave Asprey...awesome info‼️
I eat extremely high fat and stay in ketosis and feel much better like this. If I add carbs and break ketosis, then won't all the excess fat do damage to my body if I am no longer fat adapted?
Anyone?
Dont skip breakfast skip dinner. When u stop eating around 3-4 pm u get naturally hungry in the morning around 8-9 am and nothing wrong w having breakfast an hour after u wake up. Instead u r all depending on coffee which s not healthy anyway.
Who says, I drink my coffee at least 2 hours after I get up, so I can let my body do it's thing.🤠 I don't don't get hungry until late in the day, so why eat right after I get up.
@@omadoutlaw4868 I sure don't eat when I first wake up coffee that's a different story and yes it is good for you
What about if you go to the gym?
You are hungry when you work out and have to feed the muscle.
I usually get my books from the library and only purchase if books provide unbelievable information. I hv purchased both Gundry’s and Asprey’s books. Plant & Longevity Paradox and Super Human>>> amazing life enhancing books! 😁
I fasted for 4 days with nothing but water, salt, and black coffee. The first day was mildly difficult, the second day I was feeling pretty good. The third day was surreal, I was so calm and peaceful I almost felt like I was on drugs (wasn’t). However, I could only do light exercise for short amounts of time. The fourth day I was not hungry at all but I did begin to dream about eating food again. I had my favorite soup from El Torito to break my fast on the fifth day. Normally I would scarf down a bowl in just a few minutes but this time I was full halfway through and had to stop. I lost 6 pounds total, but netted 4 pounds because 2 pounds were water loss. So it’s basically a pound per day of permanent fat loss. I would love to try a six day water fast. Has anyone gone longer than four days?
Great
Oh no two days is about my limit
Whole grains are bad?
Hi Dr. can garlic and lemon juice break the fast in the morning?
Yes
Best garlic and lemon woth a bit of big grain of salt in one liter of water
Love Dave Asprey ! Thank you for having him 🙏🏻💖🌷
I love IF, fast for 24 hours once a week and 48 hours once a month. As for breaking a fast late in the day, however, that’s nothing which has ever worked for me. I prefer to eat between 6:00AM and 10:00AM and then only eat again the next day. That’s the only way time-restricted feeding has ever been pleasant for me to do.
My system too
At 7.30 they made a joke about bell pepper. Can someone tell why? Thanks
Who is Dave Asprey?
Dr. Gundry, do you have any recommendation for allergy to the skin after I use to wash my clothes A certain kind off laundry detergent. The part that I’m concerned the most is the irritation that cost me in the three openings that I got three months ago when my gallbladder was taken out. Gina
Look up Norwex laundry detergent.
I am allergic to the Asteraceae plant family how can I work with this. I have lost 70lbs and need to loose 60 lbs more. But have completely stalled after going into full menopause. I am so struggling to learn to fish for my body but I am trying.
Hi, what about coffe? Can I still do fasting in the morning but with a coffe with milk?
I heard somewhere along the way that you can have the coffee but no milk. Black coffee ☕️ only. Please check into it because I don’t know what kind of fast you are on! 🙂
Research "Bulletproof Coffee" on YT
Yes u can have cream with ur coffee
Enjoyed this interview very much. Great information from you both.
Much thanks.
Favorite line from Dr Gundry, "Eat those funny looking things in the pistachio."
I must be odd because I always have eaten those funny looking things. Lol. 😂
Hahah 🤣😂
Hahhay
What a treat!! Thank you 🙏
Can we have coffee in the morning and not break the fast? With Natural sweetner.
Have a “bullet proof” coffee❣️
Coffee, heavy cream( not too much),
& a pat of real butter, NO to sweetners of any kind. You won’t need them. Thank Mr.Asprey for that one. Most love the coffee & the magic it performs in the body.
@@c.l.montoya2972 are u talking abt heavy whipping cream?
@@c.l.montoya2972 Can we have have this bulletproof coffee in a fasted state and even when we are not on a keto diet???
Also, hope this doesn't break our fast for fat loss?
@@thetree7694 Yes. Heavy cream (without the sugar and whipping). It doesn’t break the fast, it’s a helpful hack. Though, YMMV & it’s debated within the IF and/or Keto communities but with most experts & studies fine with it.
Can someone explain please what they alluded to when Dave said eating bell pepper at dinner would trigger hunger in the morning?
I think it’s because peppers are a nightshade vegetable and nightshades cause inflammation
I just pressure cooked kale. It came out great. Is it oxalate free now?
Hello Dr Gundry! When can we find your supplements in the EU?
Superb info. Thank you
I really like the idea of eating once a day and I have been doing it for many years but what do you do about bowel movements? I have issues with that and after some research found out that it is sluggish bowel or low intestinal motility and the bm is never soft no matter how good the diet is, I even take prebiotic fiber at night, take prebiotic supplements and I don't eat junk food. Can you address these issues? I really struggle with that, like how to increase the frequency of bms and Keep them soft, it really affects the quality of my life.
Eat 2 dried pitted prunes kept in the refrigerator every day and drink more water through the day.
Are you drinking enough water during the day?
There is something called Psylinium Husk (Isabgol). You will find it at Indian stores or online. Try taking one spoon of it with water, the last thing when you close your window.
@@thetree7694 yes, I am taking water throughout the day, about 2 to 3 litres. I know about isabgol, I take lactifiber at night which is the husk with prebiotic sugar lactitol. Recently I started taking a lemon in quarter cup water and some radish as salad and it seems to have helped in the texture of the stools, like stools are little softer, in addition to all the things that I am taking, else it used to be pebbles like.
@@lucilletousignant8821 will try that, thanks. With food or at night?
so happy your gifting us ur time and love.thank you sonmuch doctor.
Great! I love pistachio nuts! Do they need to be raw or toasted?
Good question. I also wonder if most people are even supposed to eat pistachios. Where do they naturally grow? When? And what is the actual bioavailbility of the melatonin and polyphenol in a proper serving?
Looking forward to The Energy Paradox book. Dr Gandry, any chance of inviting Dr William Davies and Dr. Peter D’Adamo on your show. They have a different perspective on nutrition and I bet they will be very interesting guests.
Hello Dr. Gundry! My boyfriend and I had some Coconut Bliss brand ice cream last night, and it had coconut syrup as a sweetener. I read a little about it online, and said it had a lower glycemic index than regular sugar, is it still a fructose trap? Or is coconut syrup an acceptable alternative to sugar?
Mentioning your boyfriend was irrelevant. So was ice cream. Here's your rephrased question: is Coconut Palm Sugar a healthy alternative to Raw cane Sugar?
Answer is No. Your best bets are Erithrotol and Stevia.
