Ancel Keys introduced BMI in 1972, instructing doctors to start telling people {most of whom were completely healthy) that they were fat and would die if they didn't eat less and move more. This is almost certainly the primary cause of the 1977 obesity epidemic. Thin had also became fashionable maybe a decade earlier. They US dietary guidelines may have increased the use of seed oils, contributing the the increase in diabetes.
I up my saturated fats from pork beef, eggs, butter & extra virgin coconut oil after being diagnosed with coronary artery disease and I removed all ultra-processed foods & drinks and seed oil. I went low carbs first then ketovore. Also up my omega-3. In less than 6 months complete left bundle branch block gone.

Many times when I listen to a podcast I like to look up their name followed by debunked. Just to hear the other side of the argument. When I looked up the good doctor here debunked nothing came up. Apparently she knows the literature so well that people don't even attempt a counter argument. That's pretty impressive
Interesting, and it doesn't surprise me at all. Her research is incredible, I can't recommend her highly enough. She was a vegetarian for about 20 yrs before starting her research, which I found interesting. Much like Nina Teicholz. Because of her math background and a brain that seeks logic (which is how mine works so I really appreciate it) she can explain studies and claims and show what's good in them and what's nonsense. Her PhD is fascinating reading. She quickly became my favorite researcher when I went down the rabbit hole of "what even is cholesterol and what's it's purpose?" after my father died and the circumstances made no sense in light of what we're taught. I needed it to make sense. She has a ton of free lectures on here as well. The fiber ones and the ones where she debunks the "eat less move more" idea (search Zoe Harcombe kettle) are brilliant and she's very entertaining to boot. Because of what I've learned I can now debunk every new media article making new nutrition claims, they no longer confuse me. And no, I'm not a paid shill for her, I'm just a very grateful fan of her work.😂
She IS the literal debunker. She analyses all the so called food studies and pulls them apart to see if they match up to their claims. Generally speaking, they don’t.
That is true… I use to be 215 ( I am 5’ tall) when I stopped eating junk food, eating between meals , and eating before going to bed… I start feeling good and start loosing weight…then I increase my fat intake and walk for few minutes some days of the week… today I am 125lbs. No high cholesterol.
Give examples of what's made up then? I mean if ur going to make claims explain to people why those claims u are making is true. I don't believe anyone 100% but if I know something isnt what someone is saying I will say what isn't and why or how. So that everyone is more intrigued to go research that exact topic.
Quit deleting my comments RUclips there's nothing wrong with telling someone how many comments down on the main comment page to read someone else's comment. What the ???? Is wrong with u guys over there? 2nd comment down from this comment on main comment page
@@margaretrosin7853 most doctors are now controlled by the corporate forces of big pharma and will probably never publicly acknowledge her conclusions even if they believed them yo be true.
Yes, they should..but ultimately they wont. Until their patients get on the "eat right train" and this starts to affect the revenue stream.. i.e. patients dont need to run into their office..they (DR's) will vastly not listen. There's really not much money for a Dr's med practice, if they now suddenly have 50% less office visits because their paitients are now all with better health. This is ACROSS THE MEDICAL BOARD.. Imagine how many fewer Dr's would be needed, how many fewer Dr offices would be needed, how many fewer Hospitols would actually be needed... how many sleazy insurance companies and their sleazy acutaries would be needed.. YUP.. this revolution would UP END THE MEDICAL COMMUNITY LIKE NO TOMORROW.. and I can assure you... THEY ARE NOT GOING TO JUST LET THIS HAPPEN.. YOU CAN TAKE THAT TO THE BANK..
I am BLOWN away by the "fiber" section. I eat a lot of fiber because I am told it's super good for you. But it never made sense to me because fiber cant't be digested any further. Anyway, I am going to look more into this. Thank you for opening my mind. Learning never ends. These podcasts are awesome!
I used to as well. I was bloated and a real farty-pants. I went keto first, to get off sugar and upf. Now I'm carnivore. I can't remember the last time I was bloated or windy. I'm also not stinky, not bitten by midges, no sun burn, wonderful skin, clear eyesight, better hearing and strong teeth and gums. All good.
NEVER HEARD ANYONE EXPLAINING ABOUT CHOLESTEROL AND FAT AS WELL, AS WELL, WHILE AT THE SAME TIME AS TECHNICALLY DETAILED AS DOCTOR. ZOE HARTHAM HAS...THANK YOU!!!!
Started the Carnivore Diet 30 days ago. Started at 245 lbs. , 75lbs. Overweight, Today I weighed 220 lbs. Amazing! Results were almost verbatim what Dr. Berg states in his videos. More energy than the last 5 years ( when I started eating like crap and got fat ) mentally clear and mind clicking fast as ever. Sleep apnea declined by more than half, per my sleep app, and no more waking up a half dozen times a night. Walking in evenings, swimming and, core in late mornings and the gym 4 afternoons a week getting back to my gym rat days. Inflammation aches disappearing, arthritis almost gone in my knees and toes. The list goes on after Only 30 days! I committed to 90 days- Thanksgiving to evaluate overall results. Leaning carnivore with a small amount of my favorite fruits depending how I feel after 90 days. Just do it! It really is a logical miracle.
My Doctor prescribed Crestor, (One of the First Statins to come onto the market in the 1990's), I took for a couple weeks and experienced the same side Effects. People thought I was Crazy with explaining what I was experiencing! I threw it in the garbage and never told anyone, then started researching. I felt much better about a month later. There was Not much available back then regarding Cholesterol and the Drug Companies were Pushing the Statins through Doctors Real Hard! Now 67 and I am Still Fighting the Docs regarding Statins! Wow!
I have the family cholesterol that is very high. I tried to bring it down by all sorts of diet and failed. My dr has told me that this type of hereditary family cholesterol is not able to be brought down unless you take statins. I did a lot of research and have always refused the statins. I eat very healthy am thin and very active at 75. The reasearch I found said that they found that ppl with my type of cholesterol live longer have fewer infections and have a higher immune system. I decided I will just have to live with that even though every dr I see they tell me I am going to drop dead from heart attack. Nothing wrong with my heart yet soi tell them I’ve had a good life and feel lucky to have reached 75
Well you are correct about getting in the system. I had dengue fever years ago so now have 6 monthly blood tests, theyve tried statins as im keto and show high cholesterol. Now found blood issues, kidney function issues and insist on flu and covid jabs. Ive refused them all and now my doctor has gone keto.....brilliant turn round.
Im following everything she does and have been for about 15 years. Not bragging but in perfect health at 72. High dose C has remodeled my skin and joints. Even a. 35 yr old mcl tear in my knee has finally healed completely. Still getting sarcopenia and going to the gym or hard physical work is a must for me. 5'9" 148 lbs. Same as in high school.take k2 everybody. It directs calcium into bones and teeth etc etc mk7 is best fprm.
@bonsummers2657 yes that's important. A family member cannot take k2 supplements - ends up with itchy rashy skin. Can get k2 from herbs which is good and no reaction. 💖
By a bunch of greedy weak minded people who can't handle hearing the truth. A bunch of adult children who can't handle people actually giving good advice. That is what u call pure evil.

@@dreit7293 100% right! These are psychopaths manifesting their power, and they produce all the chaos and wickedness we experience. Earthlings are not advanced enough at this time to perceive and handle it.
She quickly became my favorite researcher when I went down the rabbit hole of "what even is cholesterol and what's it's purpose?" after my father died and the circumstances made no sense to me. I can't recommend her work highly enough. Her PhD is fascinating. To find out that the Dietary Guidelines were NEVER based in science or evidence and still aren't, and the history of how cholesterol became demonized, are both fascinating and infuriating. She mentioned in this video the Russian scientists at the turn of the 20th century, well they did experiments on rabbits. Herbivores who can't process animal foods. Of course feeding them massive amounts of cholesterol would make them sick. She has a ton of great lectures on here for free.
U can only get so much knowledge out of short interviews. I don't get how people think of that's to long I'm just not going to even bother yet still watch the same amount of time of other videos. Paying attention is a real problem with people these days. Squirrel lol
@@dreit7293 Why are there always supercilious people like you eager to look down on everyone else? There are many RUclipsrs who produce excellent documentaries of twenty minutes or less, just packed with useful information. Watching a 90-minute interview with someone you never heard of before often results in regret for the time that cannot be reclaimed.
JHC, I think my doctor is trying to kill me! Great conversation! Thank you so much for this interview with one of my personal hero's. Dr. Harcombe is one of the first voices that spoke to me when I embarked on my journey to better health about six years ago.
High fructose corn syrup (HFCS) came into common use in the United States around the early 1970s. It was first developed in the 1950s, but it wasn't until the 1970s that its production and consumption began to increase significantly. This was due to various factors, including government subsidies for corn, which made HFCS cheaper to produce than sugar, and advancements in food processing technology that allowed for its widespread use in a variety of food products.
I heard it happened because of the embargo on Cuba. Before that sugar came from there and after embargo the US sought alternative forms of sweeteners. That's when US farmers from the south said we'll give you high corn syrup.
You are so Correct! Look what The Food Industry had Done to Our Food! LOVE Your Tenacity for Research! What would We Do If We did not have a Way to Share?
Before the 1970s (Australia) no one was fat. I very rarely saw a fat person. I knew of some one who knew of someone who had cancer. It was rare. Then McDonalds arrived along with Kentucky Fried Chicken and an avalanche of other fast food outlets. HUGE supermarkets took over the local grocery and green grocery. Proof is in the pudding. Look what we have now. A fat and sick and dying population. I now call it bio warfare.
I got blood sugar back in 2020. The HbA1c came at 10. I followed the keto diet backer by protein from mainly eggs and occasionally beef, chicken and fish. I have followed this diet religiously and my HbA1c checked only yesterday is 5.2.
I have eaten butter with my meat when it doesn’t come with enough fat on it. I have trouble swallowing meat, due to mast cells in my esophagus, so butter keeps it from getting stuck in my esophagus, a painful experience!
Are you sure you are not allergic to meat. I ended up in the ER thinking I was having a heart attack after a big meal of lamb. I wasn’t heart was good but found I was allergic to meat. That was four years ago and I eat like the good Dr says everything is good food no processed everything natural I do eat fish eggs and butter though.
my bloodwork last year oct 2023, HDL 40s mg/dl, LDL 60s mg/dl, TRIGLY 250s mg/dl and the cardiologist who gave me the BP pills were against me doing the low carb, carnivore way of eating because she said that my cholesterol would shoot up if i do that and told me that my lipid panel were fine and perfect at that time. And the next visit i asked her what was the normal healthy ration of HDL and TRIGY and she just smiled and told me that her upper limits for TRIGLYCERIDES were above 350 mg/dl LOL. Good thing i didnt return back for a follow up. Instead I found a doctor that is willing to help me get off the BP pills. My BP back then was just above high normal 140/90. and now without BP pills 120/80. Moving more, doing low carb carnivore, sun walking and weights.,
My sister in law went carnivore and her BP became normal the next day. She had high BP for months . Not anymore! She also lost weight and switched her doctor who wanted to put her on statins😂
Modern cardiology is utter quackery. The reason I'm cut with quintuple CABG at 40 is for following their science. I was the guy that followed their advice to a T. Go low carb and change your lifestyle. These quacks are clueless, literally. Not disputing interventions,BUT their advice in general is utterly false a d based on lies. Ask Keys, that pos.
Try fasting . Slowly . My wife just pes for 7 days ones or twice a year - sugar / BP are normal after . Works amazing every time . I am skinny so do 24-36 h . Best easiest - eat big meal middle day and no more ; Morning just drag next meal to same time - so 24h; After 16 h Autophagia starts
Med medical = medicine. All they do is teach the doctors how to apply the so called medicine to the symptoms. They don't address what's actually causing the symptoms. High blood pressure here's some pills instead of changing diet and or environment, exercise or getting some mental help on how to handle and process stress which all would make a person healthier and without pills. Nope they prey on peoples inability to research and think for themselves. Just like in court if u have an attorney representing u the court looks at it as that ur to incompetent to represent urself. And how that is is that if these people could learn the law then so could u. When u go to a doctor the building is called a medical practice it's a place where a doctor practices medicine on u. What happens when they give u a pill that doesn't work? Oh they got another to give u and so on. I've had a doctor leave the pharmacist a list of like 12 medications and told them to just go down the list in order until one of them works for me. I've also had a doctor not be able to say that he is just a doctor. It was I'm a medical doctor I'm one who practices medicine, I'm a M.D. who works in this medical practice facility, I'm certified to practice medicine at this medical practice facility at which my title is M.D. I told him to get out of the room and go get me a real doctor. The young guy went out and an old guy came in. Lol. He was laughing when he asked me what the issue was and I told him that all I did was ask the 1st guy if he was a real doctor and he couldn't answer me with just a simple yes. So I told him to get out of here and go get me a real doctor. Lol
Med school was invented by the Rockefellers. So was prescription medicine and most methods of so called healthcare which is not healthcare it's taking advantage of people when their at their weakest state for profit. And now that most hospitals are subsidized it's even worse. There's no care to peoples health in healthcare. Their only there for u when ur sick it should be called sickcare. Not to mention the amount of people who die from prescription medicines and from human error in the field.
Without supplementing , I have gone from catching every virus that came through the door from the kids to eating carnivore and not getting a single sniffle in almost a year
Very logical, no gimmicks, lots of common sense and honest approach, a critical thinker, Dr Harcombe just is on map for me as someone I would follow and listen to! Thanks for a superb interview with a brilliant mind!
On Lipitor since 2022. -it gave me down right near Alzheimers (good news it resolved after a few weeks) every single time I started and stopped them. -it robbed me of all energy -ED and nearly no libido -above all took me from pre-diabetes to full blown diabetes and rendered the Ozempic useless. I started and stopped them on a few occasions with the same co sisters outcomes. The only reason I'm taking them for now is to lower the TGY. The LDL is not an indicative of cardiovascular disease. Diabetes and sdLDL is.
That's dumb and overly simplistic. Don't take the wrong statins and the wrong dose. Some are excellent anti inflamatories in low doses and can be very safe in low doses
@@heather333 That’s almost what I take. Instead of Vit C, I do take a separate B1 supplement along with my B complex because of the bioavailability issues, and I take some Zinc.
@@intherabbithole5850 Because … after years of abuse, sometimes the body needs help recovering, which means supplements help keep vital nutrients high while calories low so weight can be lost which is also vital …
I’m taking Vit C, Vit D/k2, Niacin 500mg (B3-non flushing), B1 100mg, Magnesium Malate, magnesium glycinate, cod liver oil cold pressed, Lugols iodine. I avoid f l u o r i D e in my water and toothpaste.
Well done Rina! Having Dr Zoe Harcombe on the podcast is another step in the right direction towards clarity on our health journeys. Loved it, from Australia 🎉❤
Dr Zoe is very credible and honest and gives direct answers that make sense. Some of the other expert commentators in the carnivore / keto space can be quite frustrating to listen to as some of them are full of contradictions and / or don’t give straight answers or if they do, they don’t clearly explain their reasoning so you can’t think it through yourself and decide whether it makes sense. Great interview. Thanks both
Outstanding video presentation. My work is in healthcare, and I say many of the same things regarding cholesterol,saturated fat, and diet to our our patients. I’m probably the black sheep in our group when it comes to this. I also take vitamin D/vitamin K at 5000 IU every day and have not had Covid , a cold, the sniffles in years. I eat probably 80/20 Carnivore diet along with some vegetables, but I do avoid processed foods and most carbohydrates. The food pyramid in the United States and I assume in most countries is upside down. The message is all about big Pharma big business, and not about health of individuals. I’m amazed at the number of physicians who simply do not understand cholesterol and are quick to put patients on statins. I am almost 70 years old and I have not had lab work in over 30 years. And my opinion is, there is no need to. Thank you for this!
I disagree when she said don't add butter to streak to increase fat. Sometimes I get 85/15 grass feed beef and ya know my go to is 80/20 so I will compensate for the fat loss and it taste great so that's my body telling me I hit that sweet spot. It's purely a situational thing. Overall she makes a purest point and I'll respect that but depending on the situation I'll add fat.
However, it makes sense that if you keep providing your body with easy fat, it will not bother to use the fat you already have on you. If you're not interested in losing any more fat then it will make sense to add extra fat if your meat is lean.
@@Arcadia61 while becoming fat adapted I eat an entire stick of butter a day and it has made so much difference in my health. Once fat adapted I plan to ease off. But I feel at 70 that I have never eaten enough of the good fats so my brain and hormones are not healthy. Since eating a stick of butter a day my hormones feel amazing.
Totally agree! Never heard any other carnivore expert decree that you shouldn't add ANY animal fat, whether it be butter, lard or tallow, to your meals to increase fat percentage! She seems to have a dismissive attitude to ketogenic diets of all kinds. Whether you're aiming for therapeutic ketosis or weight loss ketosis, and you have insulin resistance, you'll not lose much weight without a reasonably good level of ketosis.
@@barkingsquirrel7166 agree. She made reference in regards to fat loss and even so I don't agree with that. She makes a fair point as in whole complete foods but it's still going to be situational. I think most of us can agree when we add fat in the form of butter mainly we don't over do it. More often than not (few times) I ruined my food with too much salt. Also I think a good indication if you're adding to much fat you probably have loose stools and if that's the case maybe your food is already fatty and complete enough and no need to add fat.
@@jeffbstrong That's what I kept listening for when butter was mentioned more than once. It was merely refereed to as "a butter" ... no quantity mentioned.
Love to see a podcast between her and Ovadia. I’m not a doctor but between the two of them we might get a clearer idea of the best diet. Thanks for your podcast.
re Dr Harcombe’s comments (14:30)…There’s another HUGE change that has occurred in the last 60 years (particularly here in Britain) and that is car use. People walked everywhere in towns and cities. You’ve only got to look at old documentary films (eg from the BFI database) to see what has changed. And that includes children playing very freely in the urban streets… now dominated by traffic and parked cars.
Also chemicals. Cities. Sitting in traffic behind OTHER cars belching out muck. Muck in even fresh food, devoid of nutrients (grown fast, with chemicals and insecticides, in poor soil or even NO living soil (hydroponics, in sheds). Etc etc.
True, also why would any parent in there right mind give an obese kid an electric scooter/bike or run them to school in the car. These are changed days indeed.
If the doctor is reading this.... The fasted state is called autophagy. What we know generally it's reached at 20 hours of a water fasted state. I don't know if someone is lean and 100% fat adapted if autophagy is reached sooner. I'm lean and USUALLY I skip a day or eating every Saturday so I go for a 36-40 fasted window tapping into autophagy but I don't got beyond that because I'm too lean and it doesn't seem smart (I'm sure I can do 72 hours but I don't see the need). Autophagy can also be possible tapping into everyday if doing OMAD with a feeding window of 1-2 (consecutive hours) a day. Wouldn't advise that long term but it's just an option
The most sensible information on diet Ive ever heard. I feel motivated to do follow this diet. I have had trouble on keto due to GB/liver disease. This might work better for me. Thank you for being open minded enough to bring a range of ideas to the show ❤✨✨🙏✨✨❤
It would be interesting to hear Dr Zoe and Dr Elizabeth Bright have an intellectual discourse. Doctors evolve in their opinions as they learn and gather more data.
30 days on statins resulted in cannabilization of muscle tissue in my legs making walking almosr impossible. 30 days. That changed the trust level for my GP and Ive made changes.
Greetings from New Jersey, USA. Very, very, very interesting topic. So informative. I learned quite a bit from what was said. Kudos to you and your guest.
I recently dropped my statins in June and I just dropped my BP medication. I am 74. 5'10'', 152 lbs. I stated carnivore in July. My total cholesterol went up but it is only 229. Not very high. HDL73, LDL 141, Tri G 75, BP 110/60 (was working in yard 45 min ago) I don't think I have any concerns here other than the second number being a little low.
This was OUTSTANDING. One of the most logical, sensible, understandable discussions on the topics covered since I started listening to carnivore and other health related YT videos 13 moths ago. If you are a carnivore dieter you absolutely should set aside the time to listen to this entire interview.
I had a check up and everything was OK blood pressure was normal the only thing was cholesterol. So I said I am not taking a pill. Il do it by diet and exercise. We've started to use butter and lard to fry in only small amounts. I'm a 57 year old woman.
I count Dr Zoe Harcombe as one of the few who contributed to improving my health and extending my life with her no nonsense approach to breaking down and sharing the science in a way that we can see the truth and understand it. I never tire of hearing her talk.
Doc wanted me on Lipitor because of the jump in my cholesterol and ldl. Which occurred from me eating high fat carnivore after years of vegan. I refused. Blood pressure, pulse, heart scans all are great. HDL was high and triglycerides were low. Inflammation is low weight is normal. But still wanted me on meds.
Drs have to recommend “standard of care” or they can get in trouble, so at least it’s documented in your medical record and for your dr it covers their @ss. You can refuse of course. I just told my doctor that since I had a history of type two diabetes which statins can cause so I wasn’t going to take a statin anymore(I had a mild stroke in 2019 and my neurologist put me on a statin.)I didn’t know any better until I started following carnivores in June of 2022 and changed my diet. Got off the statin.
What has changed is the seed oils like corn etc. They are unhealthy and that has caused many of the problems today. Also cut carbs like bread. Use butter, olive oil, and lard etc. Natural products not man made.
Thank you all for a very informative piece. I will as diagnosed about 20 years ago with high cholesterol, I was put on Lipitor but after six months of discomfort and negative reactions I chose to stop. Not for the reasons quoted here. I went on a journey of discovery increasing exercise, reducing alcohol consumption and sugar intake. My BMI is below 30%, not quite where it should be but as I say, it’s a journey. My cholesterol has come down but more importantly so has my blood sugar level which makes me happy. I will continue with adjustments while I enjoy what’s left of my time here
What an amazing, no bull conversation. Straight to the point. I have been fluctuating between Keto and Carnivore. My gut seems to work better on Keto. But never going back to the SAD!
I love Dr Zoe Harcombe, but her chemistry is a little bit of. Sometimes you may have two or more compounds with the same formula but a different arrangement of atoms in the molecule and completely different properties. Here is the difference between HDL and LDL : "The main difference between LDL and HDL is their compositions. Approximately 50 percent of the weight of an LDL particle is cholesterol and only 25 percent is protein. High-density lipoprotein particles, on the other hand, consist of 20 percent cholesterol by weight and 50 percent protein. Since protein is more dense than fat, HDL particles are more dense than LDL particles, hence the names "high-density" and "low-density" lipoproteins. The structural difference between HDL and LDL particles is determined by the types of proteins in the molecule. "
You're confusing lipoproteins with cholesterol. There are many types of lipoproteins but only one cholesterol with one chemical equation. That's what she explained. This is why using terms like "HDL cholesterol" is both incorrect and confusing. HDL is a type of lipoprotein. Cholesterol is cholesterol, which is carried by lipoproteins.
@@elizabethwhite1068thank you, you've answered what is wrong with her theory. She considers HDL and LDL simply cholesterol with the same number of carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen atoms. She said cholesterol is cholesterol.
Wonderful interview. New to Dr. Harcombe, learned a lot. Subscribed 😊. My husband had a TIA in March. Thank God we already knew all about statin dangers and a firm NO was his response to his doctor when she wanted to prescribe them.
Great episode as always actually 👌 Interviewer and guest were both fantastic. I’m becoming a huge fan of this channel and sharing it as much as I can with those I love and care about. Thank you 🙏
At 0:52, It's fine and useful to point out that the cholesterol molecule itself is the same whether it's packaged in an LDL particle or an HDL particle. However, it's still conceivable that LDL itself is harmful while HDL is beneficial. Now, I don't believe at all that LDL actually IS harmful; I'm just saying that this doesn't follow directly from the cholesterol molecules' being the same in both types of particles. This is a minor point. I'm on board with the low carb community that doesn't demonize cholesterol in your blood or in your food. I'm a big fan of Zoe Harcombe.
Thank you for this interesting conversation. I try to incorporate different dietary views, although I personally prefer a diet that includes a diversity of healthy carbohydrates and vegetarian protein sources. I'm in my 70s and in good health, although I would like to put on about 10 pounds, which has not worked out, no matter how much I eat. Could it be that a one size fits all diet is not necessarily the right approach?
I just had a Rowl with my Doctor Again regarding Statins. I Gave her an Educated Speech and requested she Do some Research! She is now referring me to a Heart Specialist. I am going ARMED with THIS Knowledge! Thank You for Being a Real Compassionate Human Being!
@@Fit65-10 also arm yourself with the info Dr Assem Malhotra, a cardiologist, who’s career has suffered because of him speaking out about statins. He’s done several interviews on RUclips.

@@WaveformV1.0 They are saying that the doctor is legit.
She IS the literal debunker. She analyses all the so called food studies and pulls them apart to see if they match up to their claims. Generally speaking, they don’t.
That is true… I use to be 215 ( I am 5’ tall) when I stopped eating junk food, eating between meals , and eating before going to bed… I start feeling good and start loosing weight…then I increase my fat intake and walk for few minutes some days of the week… today I am 125lbs. No high cholesterol.
How long did it take you to get to the 125 lbs?
Walk a few minutes? Only some days?? What are you doing??? Sitting on your a all day long????

HI your videos are so great.. i started the carnivore diet April 2024 today i have lost 28kg and i feel amassing.
I rarely listen to interviews that long, but wow, Dr. Harcombe is awesome. Thanks.
She makes a lot of it up
Give examples of what's made up then? I mean if ur going to make claims explain to people why those claims u are making is true. I don't believe anyone 100% but if I know something isnt what someone is saying I will say what isn't and why or how. So that everyone is more intrigued to go research that exact topic.
Sorry 2nd comment down from moni comment of main comment page
Quit deleting my comments RUclips there's nothing wrong with telling someone how many comments down on the main comment page to read someone else's comment. What the ???? Is wrong with u guys over there? 2nd comment down from this comment on main comment page
So now RUclips repost one of the comments lol
She makes so many excellent points. All doctors should listen to this.
@@margaretrosin7853 most doctors are now controlled by the corporate forces of big pharma and will probably never publicly acknowledge her conclusions even if they believed them yo be true.
Yes, they should..but ultimately they wont. Until their patients get on the "eat right train" and this starts to affect the revenue stream.. i.e. patients dont need to run into their office..they (DR's) will vastly not listen. There's really not much money for a Dr's med practice, if they now suddenly have 50% less office visits because their paitients are now all with better health. This is ACROSS THE MEDICAL BOARD.. Imagine how many fewer Dr's would be needed, how many fewer Dr offices would be needed, how many fewer Hospitols would actually be needed... how many sleazy insurance companies and their sleazy acutaries would be needed.. YUP.. this revolution would UP END THE MEDICAL COMMUNITY LIKE NO TOMORROW.. and I can assure you... THEY ARE NOT GOING TO JUST LET THIS HAPPEN.. YOU CAN TAKE THAT TO THE BANK..
Do you mean other doctors of maths and economics like her?
I am BLOWN away by the "fiber" section. I eat a lot of fiber because I am told it's super good for you. But it never made sense to me because fiber cant't be digested any further. Anyway, I am going to look more into this. Thank you for opening my mind. Learning never ends. These podcasts are awesome!
Fiber is non essential...PERIOD
Fiber isn't absolutely essential. That's why people on a carnivore or lion diets have no gut or bowel issues.
trust me, it destroys your intestine walls from the inside
Tribes that eat huge amounts of fiber have zero heart disease. fiber makes butyrates and speeds up gut motility to flush all our toxins quickly.
I used to as well. I was bloated and a real farty-pants. I went keto first, to get off sugar and upf. Now I'm carnivore. I can't remember the last time I was bloated or windy. I'm also not stinky, not bitten by midges, no sun burn, wonderful skin, clear eyesight, better hearing and strong teeth and gums. All good.

Such an impressive interview that should be watched by everyone! Thank you for interviewing Dr. Harcombe. I will definitely be sharing this video!

You should drop the toast tho!
@@chadkonrad3335 Oh no, no toast droping please! I like my toast so much 😢
Eggs and bacon taste great but will make you sick in the long run . Will develop fatty liver .

Started the Carnivore Diet 30 days ago. Started at 245 lbs. , 75lbs. Overweight, Today I weighed 220 lbs. Amazing! Results were almost verbatim what Dr. Berg states in his videos. More energy than the last 5 years ( when I started eating like crap and got fat ) mentally clear and mind clicking fast as ever. Sleep apnea declined by more than half, per my sleep app, and no more waking up a half dozen times a night. Walking in evenings, swimming and, core in late mornings and the gym 4 afternoons a week getting back to my gym rat days. Inflammation aches disappearing, arthritis almost gone in my knees and toes. The list goes on after Only 30 days! I committed to 90 days- Thanksgiving to evaluate overall results. Leaning carnivore with a small amount of my favorite fruits depending how I feel after 90 days. Just do it! It really is a logical miracle.
I was prescribed Crestor about 8 years ago. It took a few months to realize what was causing all my joints to be extremely painful.
My Doctor prescribed Crestor, (One of the First Statins to come onto the market in the 1990's), I took for a couple weeks and experienced the same side Effects. People thought I was Crazy with explaining what I was experiencing! I threw it in the garbage and never told anyone, then started researching. I felt much better about a month later. There was Not much available back then regarding Cholesterol and the Drug Companies were Pushing the Statins through Doctors Real Hard! Now 67 and I am Still Fighting the Docs regarding Statins! Wow!
I have the family cholesterol that is very high. I tried to bring it down by all sorts of diet and failed. My dr has told me that this type of hereditary family cholesterol is not able to be brought down unless you take statins. I did a lot of research and have always refused the statins. I eat very healthy am thin and very active at 75. The reasearch I found said that they found that ppl with my type of cholesterol live longer have fewer infections and have a higher immune system. I decided I will just have to live with that even though every dr I see they tell me I am going to drop dead from heart attack. Nothing wrong with my heart yet soi tell them I’ve had a good life and feel lucky to have reached 75
Well you are correct about getting in the system. I had dengue fever years ago so now have 6 monthly blood tests, theyve tried statins as im keto and show high cholesterol. Now found blood issues, kidney function issues and insist on flu and covid jabs. Ive refused them all and now my doctor has gone keto.....brilliant turn round.

Im following everything she does and have been for about 15 years. Not bragging but in perfect health at 72.
High dose C has remodeled my skin and joints. Even a. 35 yr old mcl tear in my knee has finally healed completely. Still getting sarcopenia and going to the gym or hard physical work is a must for me. 5'9" 148 lbs. Same as in high school.take k2 everybody. It directs calcium into bones and teeth etc etc mk7 is best fprm.

How do u get vitamin C?
@bonsummers2657 yes that's important. A family member cannot take k2 supplements - ends up with itchy rashy skin. Can get k2 from herbs which is good and no reaction. 💖

I had never heard of Zoe Harcombe before. I rarely listen to such long interviews. However, this knocked me out. I enjoyed every minute.
She quickly became my favorite researcher when I went down the rabbit hole of "what even is cholesterol and what's it's purpose?" after my father died and the circumstances made no sense to me. I can't recommend her work highly enough. Her PhD is fascinating. To find out that the Dietary Guidelines were NEVER based in science or evidence and still aren't, and the history of how cholesterol became demonized, are both fascinating and infuriating. She mentioned in this video the Russian scientists at the turn of the 20th century, well they did experiments on rabbits. Herbivores who can't process animal foods. Of course feeding them massive amounts of cholesterol would make them sick. She has a ton of great lectures on here for free.
U can only get so much knowledge out of short interviews. I don't get how people think of that's to long I'm just not going to even bother yet still watch the same amount of time of other videos. Paying attention is a real problem with people these days. Squirrel lol
@@dreit7293 Why are there always supercilious people like you eager to look down on everyone else? There are many RUclipsrs who produce excellent documentaries of twenty minutes or less, just packed with useful information.

@@Fit65-10 I don't think it's intentional, it's ignorance and a failing system.
There is low density LDL, look at Dr Paul Mason from locarb down under. It is a thing. The endothelial wall is sometimes damaged.
High fructose corn syrup (HFCS) came into common use in the United States around the early 1970s. It was first developed in the 1950s, but it wasn't until the 1970s that its production and consumption began to increase significantly. This was due to various factors, including government subsidies for corn, which made HFCS cheaper to produce than sugar, and advancements in food processing technology that allowed for its widespread use in a variety of food products.
I heard it happened because of the embargo on Cuba. Before that sugar came from there and after embargo the US sought alternative forms of sweeteners. That's when US farmers from the south said we'll give you high corn syrup.
@@sunbeam9222 Doctor was saying data indicated 1970s is when the obesity epidemic began.
You are so Correct! Look what The Food Industry had Done to Our Food! LOVE Your Tenacity for Research! What would We Do If We did not have a Way to Share?
Before the 1970s (Australia) no one was fat. I very rarely saw a fat person. I knew of some one who knew of someone who had cancer. It was rare. Then McDonalds arrived along with Kentucky Fried Chicken and an avalanche of other fast food outlets. HUGE supermarkets took over the local grocery and green grocery.
Proof is in the pudding. Look what we have now. A fat and sick and dying population. I now call it bio warfare.
I got blood sugar back in 2020. The HbA1c came at 10. I followed the keto diet backer by protein from mainly eggs and occasionally beef, chicken and fish. I have followed this diet religiously and my HbA1c checked only yesterday is 5.2.
That's good?ř how long n what did you eat befor n have y tried fasting did you do any veg?
I have eaten butter with my meat when it doesn’t come with enough fat on it. I have trouble swallowing meat, due to mast cells in my esophagus, so butter keeps it from getting stuck in my esophagus, a painful experience!
I also eat butter with my steak, beef burgers etc
Yes, the best sauce ever!
Are you sure you are not allergic to meat. I ended up in the ER thinking I was having a heart attack after a big meal of lamb. I wasn’t heart was good but found I was allergic to meat. That was four years ago and I eat like the good Dr says everything is good food no processed everything natural I do eat fish eggs and butter though.
One of the best videos I have seen on food and health!
my bloodwork last year oct 2023, HDL 40s mg/dl, LDL 60s mg/dl, TRIGLY 250s mg/dl and the cardiologist who gave me the BP pills were against me doing the low carb, carnivore way of eating because she said that my cholesterol would shoot up if i do that and told me that my lipid panel were fine and perfect at that time. And the next visit i asked her what was the normal healthy ration of HDL and TRIGY and she just smiled and told me that her upper limits for TRIGLYCERIDES were above 350 mg/dl LOL. Good thing i didnt return back for a follow up. Instead I found a doctor that is willing to help me get off the BP pills. My BP back then was just above high normal 140/90. and now without BP pills 120/80. Moving more, doing low carb carnivore, sun walking and weights.,
@@gcyoutube-k4x tell me more please about this change
My sister in law went carnivore and her BP became normal the next day. She had high BP for months . Not anymore! She also lost weight and switched her doctor who wanted to put her on statins😂

Brilliant! This woman should be teaching in med schools.
@@sharonbohannon1219 Don't be naive. Medical school teachs how to sell drugs...and label deseases...
@@wagnerw8364I know.
Med medical = medicine. All they do is teach the doctors how to apply the so called medicine to the symptoms. They don't address what's actually causing the symptoms. High blood pressure here's some pills instead of changing diet and or environment, exercise or getting some mental help on how to handle and process stress which all would make a person healthier and without pills. Nope they prey on peoples inability to research and think for themselves. Just like in court if u have an attorney representing u the court looks at it as that ur to incompetent to represent urself. And how that is is that if these people could learn the law then so could u. When u go to a doctor the building is called a medical practice it's a place where a doctor practices medicine on u. What happens when they give u a pill that doesn't work? Oh they got another to give u and so on. I've had a doctor leave the pharmacist a list of like 12 medications and told them to just go down the list in order until one of them works for me. I've also had a doctor not be able to say that he is just a doctor. It was I'm a medical doctor I'm one who practices medicine, I'm a M.D. who works in this medical practice facility, I'm certified to practice medicine at this medical practice facility at which my title is M.D. I told him to get out of the room and go get me a real doctor. The young guy went out and an old guy came in. Lol. He was laughing when he asked me what the issue was and I told him that all I did was ask the 1st guy if he was a real doctor and he couldn't answer me with just a simple yes. So I told him to get out of here and go get me a real doctor. Lol
Med school was invented by the Rockefellers. So was prescription medicine and most methods of so called healthcare which is not healthcare it's taking advantage of people when their at their weakest state for profit. And now that most hospitals are subsidized it's even worse. There's no care to peoples health in healthcare. Their only there for u when ur sick it should be called sickcare. Not to mention the amount of people who die from prescription medicines and from human error in the field.
The whole healthcare system needs to demolished and started from scratch with people like this lady leading the way. For a system that actually works.
Without supplementing , I have gone from catching every virus that came through the door from the kids to eating carnivore and not getting a single sniffle in almost a year
Very logical, no gimmicks, lots of common sense and honest approach, a critical thinker, Dr Harcombe just is on map for me as someone I would follow and listen to! Thanks for a superb interview with a brilliant mind!
Love the talk on cholesterol.
However, I am another of many who lost 60 lbs so far …butter is a big part of that success
Excellent
Satins almost killed my aunt. Never take a statin
It is spelled $tatin$
Sorry to hear that. How did statins kill your aunt?
On Lipitor since 2022.
-it gave me down right near Alzheimers (good news it resolved after a few weeks) every single time I started and stopped them.
-it robbed me of all energy
-ED and nearly no libido
-above all took me from pre-diabetes to full blown diabetes and rendered the Ozempic useless.
I started and stopped them on a few occasions with the same co sisters outcomes.
The only reason I'm taking them for now is to lower the TGY. The LDL is not an indicative of cardiovascular disease. Diabetes and sdLDL is.
That's dumb and overly simplistic. Don't take the wrong statins and the wrong dose. Some are excellent anti inflamatories in low doses and can be very safe in low doses
@@matthewhunter6421 you do you. I'm not budging on my beliefs
Ive read Dr. Duane Gravelines book and I will never do Statins
I take Vit D, a complex B, Magnesium Glysonate and Vit C at bedtime, plus Keto-Pro electrolytes with lugol's iodine.
@@heather333 That’s almost what I take. Instead of Vit C, I do take a separate B1 supplement along with my B complex because of the bioavailability issues, and I take some Zinc.

Bacon and pork are not actually good for you. Most are grain fed, high omega 6 which is inflammatory and full of nitrates. You’re actually doing harm.
You will live to 99 years of age...❤
Well done Rina! Having Dr Zoe Harcombe on the podcast is another step in the right direction towards clarity on our health journeys. Loved it, from Australia 🎉❤
Dr Zoe is very credible and honest and gives direct answers that make sense. Some of the other expert commentators in the carnivore / keto space can be quite frustrating to listen to as some of them are full of contradictions and / or don’t give straight answers or if they do, they don’t clearly explain their reasoning so you can’t think it through yourself and decide whether it makes sense. Great interview. Thanks both
I could listen to Dr. Harcombe all day. I learn something new every time I listen to her.
This is a great amount of information that I have found very helpful! Thank you for giving her the space to talk!
Outstanding video presentation.
My work is in healthcare, and I say many of the same things regarding cholesterol,saturated fat, and diet to our our patients. I’m probably the black sheep in our group when it comes to this. I also take vitamin D/vitamin K at 5000 IU every day and have not had Covid , a cold, the sniffles in years. I eat probably 80/20 Carnivore diet along with some vegetables, but I do avoid processed foods and most carbohydrates.
The food pyramid in the United States and I assume in most countries is upside down. The message is all about big Pharma big business, and not about health of individuals. I’m amazed at the number of physicians who simply do not understand cholesterol and are quick to put patients on statins. I am almost 70 years old and I have not had lab work in over 30 years. And my opinion is, there is no need to.
Thank you for this!
I disagree when she said don't add butter to streak to increase fat. Sometimes I get 85/15 grass feed beef and ya know my go to is 80/20 so I will compensate for the fat loss and it taste great so that's my body telling me I hit that sweet spot. It's purely a situational thing. Overall she makes a purest point and I'll respect that but depending on the situation I'll add fat.
However, it makes sense that if you keep providing your body with easy fat, it will not bother to use the fat you already have on you. If you're not interested in losing any more fat then it will make sense to add extra fat if your meat is lean.
@@Arcadia61 while becoming fat adapted I eat an entire stick of butter a day and it has made so much difference in my health. Once fat adapted I plan to ease off. But I feel at 70 that I have never eaten enough of the good fats so my brain and hormones are not healthy. Since eating a stick of butter a day my hormones feel amazing.
Totally agree! Never heard any other carnivore expert decree that you shouldn't add ANY animal fat, whether it be butter, lard or tallow, to your meals to increase fat percentage! She seems to have a dismissive attitude to ketogenic diets of all kinds. Whether you're aiming for therapeutic ketosis or weight loss ketosis, and you have insulin resistance, you'll not lose much weight without a reasonably good level of ketosis.
@@barkingsquirrel7166 agree. She made reference in regards to fat loss and even so I don't agree with that. She makes a fair point as in whole complete foods but it's still going to be situational.
I think most of us can agree when we add fat in the form of butter mainly we don't over do it. More often than not (few times) I ruined my food with too much salt.
Also I think a good indication if you're adding to much fat you probably have loose stools and if that's the case maybe your food is already fatty and complete enough and no need to add fat.
@@jeffbstrong That's what I kept listening for when butter was mentioned more than once. It was merely refereed to as "a butter" ... no quantity mentioned.
Just the interview I needed to see right now. Love Zoe Harcombe. Always great interviews Rina. Thank you.
Thank you. Very interesting. Love Dr. Zoe’s spirit & passion. ❤
I would love more details about that chocolate mousse recipe! 😋
Love to see a podcast between her and Ovadia. I’m not a doctor but between the two of them we might get a clearer idea of the best diet. Thanks for your podcast.
re Dr Harcombe’s comments (14:30)…There’s another HUGE change that has occurred in the last 60 years (particularly here in Britain) and that is car use. People walked everywhere in towns and cities. You’ve only got to look at old documentary films (eg from the BFI database) to see what has changed. And that includes children playing very freely in the urban streets… now dominated by traffic and parked cars.
Also chemicals. Cities. Sitting in traffic behind OTHER cars belching out muck. Muck in even fresh food, devoid of nutrients (grown fast, with chemicals and insecticides, in poor soil or even NO living soil (hydroponics, in sheds). Etc etc.
True, also why would any parent in there right mind give an obese kid an electric scooter/bike or run them to school in the car. These are changed days indeed.
If the doctor is reading this.... The fasted state is called autophagy. What we know generally it's reached at 20 hours of a water fasted state. I don't know if someone is lean and 100% fat adapted if autophagy is reached sooner. I'm lean and USUALLY I skip a day or eating every Saturday so I go for a 36-40 fasted window tapping into autophagy but I don't got beyond that because I'm too lean and it doesn't seem smart (I'm sure I can do 72 hours but I don't see the need). Autophagy can also be possible tapping into everyday if doing OMAD with a feeding window of 1-2 (consecutive hours) a day. Wouldn't advise that long term but it's just an option
Great interview. Your videos keep me motivated! Thanks
The most sensible information on diet Ive ever heard. I feel motivated to do follow this diet. I have had trouble on keto due to GB/liver disease. This might work better for me. Thank you for being open minded enough to bring a range of ideas to the show ❤✨✨🙏✨✨❤
This is Brilliant! I recognize so much of the same thing here in Sweden. This was a brilliant conversation!
Excellent interview!! So informative and so glad I took the time to watch!!!❤
Very refreshing to hear from Zoe Harcombe.
What an amazing podcast, I liked the taxi analogy so effective to explain it to lay person!!❤
It would be interesting to hear Dr Zoe and Dr Elizabeth Bright have an intellectual discourse. Doctors evolve in their opinions as they learn and gather more data.
🙌 yes!
30 days on statins resulted in cannabilization of muscle tissue in my legs making walking almosr impossible. 30 days. That changed the trust level for my GP and Ive made changes.
Loved this interview!!! So informative and common sense!! 💗💕
Thank you!!! Love this channel, she’s brilliant!
Greetings from New Jersey, USA. Very, very, very interesting topic. So informative. I learned quite a bit from what was said. Kudos to you and your guest.
Starting at minute 52.50 she explains how total cholesterol is measured between LDL/HDL. ‼️
I needed to hear this. Knowledge is power. Thanks a lot
I recently dropped my statins in June and I just dropped my BP medication. I am 74. 5'10'', 152 lbs. I stated carnivore in July. My total cholesterol went up but it is only 229. Not very high. HDL73, LDL 141, Tri G 75, BP 110/60 (was working in yard 45 min ago) I don't think I have any concerns here other than the second number being a little low.
This was OUTSTANDING. One of the most logical, sensible, understandable discussions on the topics covered since I started listening to carnivore and other health related YT videos 13 moths ago.
If you are a carnivore dieter you absolutely should set aside the time to listen to this entire interview.
At last, clear thinking, clearly explained. thanks.
This was a fantastic explanation on this topic, the best and most understandable I have listened to. Thank you ladies.
I had a check up and everything was OK blood pressure was normal the only thing was cholesterol. So I said I am not taking a pill. Il do it by diet and exercise. We've started to use butter and lard to fry in only small amounts. I'm a 57 year old woman.
What did the doc say?
Well it was on the phone I think it was a nurse and she said 6 month check up .
@@Elaine-y4i I told my gp i would never take one
I count Dr Zoe Harcombe as one of the few who contributed to improving my health and extending my life with her no nonsense approach to breaking down and sharing the science in a way that we can see the truth and understand it. I never tire of hearing her talk.
Wow! What a nice conversation. Thank you very much. Love Dr. Zoe.
Doc wanted me on Lipitor because of the jump in my cholesterol and ldl. Which occurred from me eating high fat carnivore after years of vegan. I refused. Blood pressure, pulse, heart scans all are great. HDL was high and triglycerides were low. Inflammation is low weight is normal. But still wanted me on meds.
Its big business.
Drs have to recommend “standard of care” or they can get in trouble, so at least it’s documented in your medical record and for your dr it covers their @ss. You can refuse of course. I just told my doctor that since I had a history of type two diabetes which statins can cause so I wasn’t going to take a statin anymore(I had a mild stroke in 2019 and my neurologist put me on a statin.)I didn’t know any better until I started following carnivores in June of 2022 and changed my diet. Got off the statin.
@@claudiaonorato4340 exactly, they are forced to follow what they call "guidelines" which is how they keep everyone inline. It's a huge scam.
What has changed is the seed oils like corn etc. They are unhealthy and that has caused many of the problems today. Also cut carbs like bread. Use butter, olive oil, and lard etc. Natural products not man made.
Thank you all for a very informative piece.
I will as diagnosed about 20 years ago with high cholesterol, I was put on Lipitor but after six months of discomfort and negative reactions I chose to stop. Not for the reasons quoted here.
I went on a journey of discovery increasing exercise, reducing alcohol consumption and sugar intake.
My BMI is below 30%, not quite where it should be but as I say, it’s a journey.
My cholesterol has come down but more importantly so has my blood sugar level which makes me happy.
I will continue with adjustments while I enjoy what’s left of my time here
Thank you for an excellent video. I'm now a subscriber.
What an amazing, no bull conversation. Straight to the point. I have been fluctuating between Keto and Carnivore. My gut seems to work better on Keto. But never going back to the SAD!
I love Dr Zoe Harcombe, but her chemistry is a little bit of. Sometimes you may have two or more compounds with the same formula but a different arrangement of atoms in the molecule and completely different properties.
Here is the difference between HDL and LDL : "The main difference between LDL and HDL is their compositions. Approximately 50 percent of the weight of an LDL particle is cholesterol and only 25 percent is protein. High-density lipoprotein particles, on the other hand, consist of 20 percent cholesterol by weight and 50 percent protein. Since protein is more dense than fat, HDL particles are more dense than LDL particles, hence the names "high-density" and "low-density" lipoproteins. The structural difference between HDL and LDL particles is determined by the types of proteins in the molecule. "
@@eucapsiolatina thank you for the clarification. 👍
You're confusing lipoproteins with cholesterol. There are many types of lipoproteins but only one cholesterol with one chemical equation. That's what she explained. This is why using terms like "HDL cholesterol" is both incorrect and confusing. HDL is a type of lipoprotein. Cholesterol is cholesterol, which is carried by lipoproteins.
@@elizabethwhite1068thank you, you've answered what is wrong with her theory. She considers HDL and LDL simply cholesterol with the same number of carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen atoms. She said cholesterol is cholesterol.
Great interview with Zoe as always. She is so knowledgeable and such a fantastic speaker and makes everything understandable for jut about anyone ❤
Zoe is brilliant, does amazing work.
I love the way Zoe prefaces ‘developed world’ with ‘so-called’. 👍 ❤ ❗️
Excellent!!! Loved this!! Thank you!
Wonderful interview. New to Dr. Harcombe, learned a lot. Subscribed 😊.
My husband had a TIA in March. Thank God we already knew all about statin dangers and a firm NO was his response to his doctor when she wanted to prescribe them.
I'm a lean mass hyper responder. My cholesterol is usually around $140 I went on keto and it went up to 283
Great episode as always actually 👌 Interviewer and guest were both fantastic. I’m becoming a huge fan of this channel and sharing it as much as I can with those I love and care about. Thank you 🙏
At 0:52, It's fine and useful to point out that the cholesterol molecule itself is the same whether it's packaged in an LDL particle or an HDL particle. However, it's still conceivable that LDL itself is harmful while HDL is beneficial. Now, I don't believe at all that LDL actually IS harmful; I'm just saying that this doesn't follow directly from the cholesterol molecules' being the same in both types of particles. This is a minor point. I'm on board with the low carb community that doesn't demonize cholesterol in your blood or in your food. I'm a big fan of Zoe Harcombe.
This was a fantastic interview. Thanks for bringing Dr. Zoe Harcombe and asking the hard questions.
Thank you for this interesting conversation. I try to incorporate different dietary views, although I personally prefer a diet that includes a diversity of healthy carbohydrates and vegetarian protein sources. I'm in my 70s and in good health, although I would like to put on about 10 pounds, which has not worked out, no matter how much I eat. Could it be that a one size fits all diet is not necessarily the right approach?
I love Dr Zoe Harcombe ❤️ She is so knowledgeable and also has a great sense of humour. I watched her talk about fibre - brilliant
Love your channel!!! 💖💖💖😉☝️

The only reason I add butter to my meat is because the texture of fat on steaks etc. makes me gag so I have to make that up somehow.
Another great interview. Thank you Rina- you’re so good at this. I love Zoe too. Straight forward info ❤
Awesome interview thanks 😊
Apologies for not subscribing sooner I have found a lot of practical knowledge in your interviews- thanks both for the episode.
I just had a Rowl with my Doctor Again regarding Statins. I Gave her an Educated Speech and requested she Do some Research! She is now referring me to a Heart Specialist. I am going ARMED with THIS Knowledge! Thank You for Being a Real Compassionate Human Being!
Why are you going to a heart specialist Go carnivore instead
@@Fit65-10 also arm yourself with the info Dr Assem Malhotra, a cardiologist, who’s career has suffered because of him speaking out about statins. He’s done several interviews on RUclips.
