It makes total sense to me that marathon and ultra athletes would have health complications. Not only are they usually carb loading like crazy, but the amount of training and thus high blood pressure and inflammation that they put their bodies through is surely taxing. They often train 30+h a week, which starts closing in on being a chronic state instead of an acute stressor.
The amount of training in and of itself isn't the problem. Human bodies are designed to endure such regular stressors. As you mentioned, the high carb intake leads to chronic inflammation which causes metabolic illnesses such as high blood pressure, heart disease, etc. Truly a stupid way of training
Activity ≠ exercise. Today's ultra marathon is probably the same amount of activity that some tribe people do on a daily basis. Lots of labourer work > 10hr a day. To them, it's just daily activity. A trained ultra marathon runner can race at the same heart rate of your daily activity.
Thank you! I exercised excessively for years. One day while standing a the grocery checkout, I passed out. Woke up in an ambulance. After extensive evaluations and many tests, my doctor told me to stop exercising. I was shocked because I exercised all my life. I was addicted to exercise . He explained I had been stressing out my body from extensive extensive for so many years; adrenal failure. He advised me to walk and do general weight baring exercise. I was 55.
Anything in excess can kill you. I almost killed myself as a teen long-distance running. A doctor was so angry when I described an incident in which I hadn't run at all yet that season and just mapped out my route and speed. The last bit was uphill, and even though my heart and lungs were burning and squeezing because I hadn't conditioned myself yet, I kept going. When I reached the end, I stupidly laid down in the grass, in lieu of walking and cooling down. While on my back, and mind you, I was 5'6", a 17-year-old former self-taught gymnast, and about 115 lbs. of mostly lean mass. I was lean, muscular, and flexible, but not cardiovascularly fit yet. My heart stopped for a moment. I felt the worst cramping sensation in my chest as if a giant hand reached inside my chest and squeezed my heart, then suddenly it started up again, and I gasped. Because I was a stupid kid and it was the early 80s when kids were basically feral, I didn't take it very seriously until I told my doctor about it during a checkup and he told me that I caused a cardiac event by not listening to my body. He was very angry. I never did that again, and although I push hard in what I do while responding to my body's demands, I've never had another event. He was 100% correct. OCD can be dangerous.
Thank you for describing this error of judgement: it is powerfully instructive. I hope many will read it and take heed. Also, the way you have written the account is an illustration in itself-a fine example of competent writing. Thanks!
Brilliant. Even a non-doctor like me understands every word. Thank you for your research and easily understood presentation. This should be mandatory for all medical personnel.
Very good and informative! the diagram at around 35 minutes, showing CVD progression in the arteries of T2d people, is especially good. I would suggest that a similar thing is probably going on in any person with a high HbA1c score.
Wow, thank you for the information, three hours a week Zoon 2 exercise, for me jogging, jogging for health, not to achieve a record, with few hours of light weight exercises at home. Low carb diet , IF for 6 years, BMI 20. 👍🏻🏃🏼♂️🥚🍳🥗
I've cycled almost 10,000km this year, coupled with a couple of 10km walks a week and regular bodyweight exercises such as press ups and squats. If it kills me , what the heck...life quality trumps life quantity and the mental health improvements have been staggering, and when I stopped drinking 21 months ago I needed something to fill that void so to speak... Been back on the low carb for the last 3 months and can now go out on an empty stomach for 100km/4hrs without eating anything.... down from 91kg to 78kg in these 3 months too..... (cutting out carbs/sugar and a 7 day dry fast last month helped that lol)
Excercise is beneficial, overtraining is not. Marathon runners look very unhealthy, and actually look like they are in misery. Professional body builders faces start to look twice as old as their bodies. There is a happy medium, probably different for us all. When death comes knocking, you will beg for more days.
I have run 2575km this year. My doctor thought a cac was not going to change anything. After a lot of research I eat a keto diet in hopes of not creating any more plaque in case it exists. Also supplementing with k2 m37 to prevent calcification.
@@zamfirtoth6441 Nearly every runner I see looks bloody miserable.... all gaunt, grimacing and drawn...worst ones are those massively overweight who can barely walk and destroying their hips, knees and ankles to go a pathetic 3mph "running". Just walk fatties, find a hill and walk up it!
The researchers should have included sprint athletes in their study. I do sprints in both swimming and track & field. I've seen plenty of distance athletes have heart attacks during or immediately following races. Is it just coincidence that I've never seen this happen with sprinters? How often do we see news of elite sprinters having heart attacks during or after races, especially as compared to distance athletes? I've never seen that, either, not even internationally. There is a big difference in exercise types, with high-intensity intervals being shown to be superior to distance/endurance exercising in study after study. Distance and endurance events are certainly impressive, but they don't convey the same benefits that sprinting provides. And don't give me the trope that older athletes cannot sprint - I am 62 and there are sprint athletes even in their 90's at some of the meets I participate in. Distance/endurance athletes of any age benefit from including sprint training in their routines, but many do not.
I watch local live hockey- the physical output of the players is palpable in the frosty arena! But it starts with the 5 year old ‘peewee’ players. They have to do a daily food log- pop/power drinks will get them removed from the team !
In a video here on YT entitled “Neurodegenerative Disorders as Metabolic Icebergs”, Dr. Matthew Phillips mentions how excessive cardiovascular exercise is possibly a contributing factor in ALS.
And carries a huge risk of brain damage let alone the other horrific injuries.... that'll take a few years to manifest though so we can try and pretend it doesn't happen eh?
I love Dr. Cywes, but I disagree with policies promoting equal pay based on gender. Pay should be based on performance and market supply and demand. Basing anything on race or gender is discriminatory, and only harbors hate across racial and gender lines. That said, Dr. Cywes is still my favorite carnivore doctor.
All you have to do is google alllllllllll the athletes that dropped dead of a heart attack. My cardiologist told me humans only needed to run and get your heart rate up when we were being chased by animals etc…
Love your channel but Norwitz a PHD in the keto/carnivore space whos sort of exploding, has said BMI trumps all the heavier you always leads to worse heard disease outcomes. This sounds a bit like a cope to convince overweight people that they are fine, they are not. In the last year 4 fat influencers (health at any size)have died at a very young below 40 for all.
Nick is brilliant but he is a first year medical student and completely wrong about BMI being the primary driver the driver is actually insulin resistance
It seems that this is not really about "exercise" so much as about being an athlete who carb loads. I'd be interested in hearing more about studies about "normal" exercise that us regular folk might do. there are so many conflicting opnions such as: cardio is best for fat loss, only sprinting is best, HIIT is best, exercise is completely irrellevant and many many more opinions.
Didn't a major athlete of the 70s, Jim Fixx (a runner and author of books on running) die of a heart attack? At age 52? With that said, it's not necessary to invoke equal rights for women into the argument against exercise. Men are dying and are risking ill health too and we don't talk about whether or not they're "too fragile" to exercise.
Thank you, this will help a lot next time someone decides to throw a tantrum about excercising fat person on front side of Sports illustrated "glorifying obesity" (as usual completely missing the point that the magazine is NOT called thinness illustrated and if you are not a-hole you may look simply look at it as glorifying excercise for fat people too)
I'll stick to my fat adapted cycling, got a gravel bike for the spring to try and keep off the roads that's the biggest danger. And as for sports that are dangerous look no further than rugby...all those brain damaged guys now queueing up to sue the governing bodies for injuries(ok- give your wages and career related gains back if you want millions in compensation)...like the players couldn't couldn't work out that 110kg dudes running head on into each other cracking skulls was bad for the brain ffs.....almost as thick as boxers eh?
Women already can't be paid less. There are very few areas of society that the ERA would change, and the biggest one is actually providing equality for men in family court, which is a big reason it's never going to pass. Also, I believe the exact wording is something along the lines of "the government is not allowed to consider gender at all," which doesn't seem like a great practice.
@@robertcywes2966 I'm not so sure. Consider something like a medical malpractice case: is the judge barred from considering the patient's gender?

You think one of the preeminent metabolic health doctors in the world doesn't know what metabolic health is? He checks the bloodwork and does imaging tests for arteries and heart and has determined that obese people where their fat is peripheral can be healthier than skinny athletes.
