Metabolic Syndrome like never before

The USA has never seen health like this before. Despite our knowledge about diabetes and the medicines available, more people are exercising, fewer people smoke, and even Obamacare….…. Why is our health getting worse?
Because we have yet to address the actual cause of the problem.
80% of disease is preventable with preventative habits…yet, 98% of our healthcare budget is spent on individual treatment and only 2% on prevention. Seems like that money could be better spent. It’s estimated that 12% of the US adult population is affected by five or more chronic diseases and accounts for 40% of all healthcare spending. Patients with five or more chronic conditions spend fourteen times more on health services than people with no chronic conditions. These are the rates of cancer incidence (number of new cancers per year).
The incidence of smoke-related cancer declined, as expected, because of a decline in smoking rates. The incidence of cancers detectable by better and more frequent screenings (like prostate and breast cancer) increased because we’re catching them earlier. But the incidence of most other cancers--especially those correlated with obesity and metabolic syndrome…things like uterine, pancreatic, and liver cancer -- increased by about 30%. As a whole, more and more people are getting cancer every year.
Sure genetics contributes to that. Some cancers are purely genetic based. For example, a condition called Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is caused by a specific congenital defect that guarantees colon cancer development.
Overall, genetics only contributes ~20% of most cancers.
Smoking and diet’s contribution?
50%. The leading causes of morbidity and mortality are the most costly in the US. Cancer, cardiovascular disease, dementia, and type 2 diabetes. Most of these stem from being metabolically ill and are heavily impacted by our food.
At least 60% of our healthcare spending is wasted on diseases that could have been prevented.
And guess where that money is coming from?
Social Security. But it's only going to worsen because you need young, healthy people to pay into social security.
But what happens when the young and healthy are becoming less and less nutritious?
I mean, adolescents would never develop metabolic diseases like type 2 diabetes. But that started changing in the 1980s.
So if the problem is metabolic illness…what’s the solution?
Real food. Unprocessed or minimally processed food. The answer is simple and easy, but doing that might not be for many people. But there’s no alternative. There is no magic pill that can fix metabolic illness. Most people know that eating crappy food leads to high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, and heart disease….I mean, they’re all related to obesity, right?
But what about most types of cancer, autoimmune disease, dementia, and even psychiatric illness? Is it really possible that those are related to eating processed foods?
Yes. They’re all becoming more and more prevalent over the last 50 years, which is the same timeline as our diet getting worse with processed foods.
-- Cancer is being diagnosed at earlier ages than it used to. Over the last few decades, as we’ve consumed more and more processed food, the incidence of obesity-related cancers continues to rise. Think colon, liver, pancreatic, uterine, and kidney cancer. In fact, just last year, the recommended age to screen for colon cancer was lowered from 50 to 45 because of the rise in cases among young and middle-aged people. No doubt, genetics play a role in cancer, but there is a solid case that environmental exposures cause mutations in DNA.
For example, the UV rays from the sun damage the DNA in your skin cells, leading to skin cancer. But mutations in our cells occur throughout the body every day, like every minute. In other words, your cells initiate cancer all the time. But your cells, and especially your immune system, fix these mutations before cancer actually develops.
It gets nipped in the bud. Until it doesn’t. That’s when cancer promotion happens. That’s when the cancer cell grows and divides over and over again. And as wild as this may sound, highly processed food, like hot dogs, French fries, and Oreos, actually feeds those cancer cells precisely what it needs to keep growing and dividing. Let’s say you sink your teeth into a Krispy Kreme donut.

You should watch the video from the Not Just Bikes channel, I Don't Exercise (my city does that for me)
Dutch cities are famous for their excellent cycling network and walkable cities, the low level of exercise every day has direct health benefits just from good city design.
Diabetes is not a direct consequence of eating too much sugar. It's a combination of risk factors.
Doctors treat the symptoms not the problem
Moder medicine is overpharmaceutized id neglects nutrition polution and exercize
Though sugar and processed food definitely have a big impact on health, it is not the whole story. My healthy uncle got pancreatic cancer, my very in shape cyclist doctor had a massive heart attack & my whole food eating neighbor now has rapid onset Alzheimers.
SAD (Standard American Diet). You are right on it. I lost a hundred lbs thus far and reversed a dozen medical problems related to Metabolic Associated Fatty Liver Disease. My savior was a KETO diet (whole food and get rid of the sugar and processed seed oils). Keep up the good work because a lot of doctors are still just as much in the dark as the general population regarding their diets. I had to diagnose myself after the test came back and it was way to obvious to me what had to be done. My doctor was shocked when I returned and how dramatically my vitals and test were returning to normal without the use of drugs or medical intervention. :-)
Amazing job 🤩👏
So we are still being told not to eat fat. How is this explained?

What do you eat with keto? Please tell me
I really appreciate you for sharing your experience with me. I’m sure my situation is the same as yours and no doctor is going to help me. I have to realize on myself and teach myself to eat healthy. By the way, did your sleep suffer while you had these medical issues? 💕
Dr. Hansen is spot on because I have done it. Reversed my T2D in 15 month by exercising 90 minutes a day, eating a whole food diet, avoid all junk foods, refined sugar, carbs, alcohol and smoking. Cold turkey. All without a single dose of Metformin. The Real Hard part is you must have the will power to make it happen.
Not Keto though?
You didn't use metformin, not even while you were healing?
What is your A1c ?
@@clboymom9467 keto increase insulin insensitivity
Def need a lot of willpower to start but hopefully after time, habit kicks in and it becomes part of your lifestyle 😊
It's so good to see real medical doctors finally addressing metabolic syndrome and it's connection to food. For the last decade I've been learning and studying this stuff and the medical community just seemed to dismiss it.
agreed. I don't generally care for this guys opinions, but this was a good video. Im constantly bring new info and studies to my cardiologist, but hes always "meh" about diet and nutrition. if people start taking care of themselves, they won't need to consulte near as often or as early in life.
No money in prevention or curing disease. That’s why it was dismissed….
Let me know if you know the address of metabolic syndrome I wan to send a package
You have made a major impact with me and meals I prepare at home. Since watching your channel we are healthier. I am on fewer meds and my husband just got a glowing doctor’s report on his health! It’s all because we take your advice and eat much less sugar products, much less dairy and a whole lot of unprocessed foods, salads, fruit. Thank you for bringing this information to us.

What’s processed fruits? Canned?
5G - Radiation Smog World.... That is the culprit contributing to more health problems... WAIT THERE'S MORE..... By 2024, you will see how bad it's going to be!
Because they are lying.
I am 66 and have finally gotten a grip on my diet. Now I make my own bread, yogurt, fermenting veggies, and limit my processed food to occasional ice cream. My guts have NEVER been better, even when I was a child. I know much damage has already been done, but I am trying.
You can't fix healthcare until you fix health . And you can't fix health until you fix the food that you are eating.. 👏👏👏 Hearty Congratulations Mike Hansen
One of the most responsible videos on Health I have ever seen. You nailed it. I have been cutting back on processed food and hidden sugars in foods and I feel better than ever. Mental clarity and mood is improved too. The key is always what you put in your body, and it should not be pills. It should be a proper diet.
Try Moringa Leaf Powder to help regulate glucose in your blood.
@@JodBronson the best way to regulate glucose is to not have any in the first place. Thanks for the tip though.
You are the best Dr Mike.......I've learned so much. A couple of years ago I converted my husband into a Vegan (plant based mainly) in order to avoid surgery. Unfortunately, unlike you, most doctors have no clue about nutrition or even want to know about it. All the doctors want to do is push a quick fix of prescription meds and surgery. After just a couple weeks of becoming Vegan, he physically changed, you can see it in his face, looked healthier. And after several months when we went back to testing, his numbers came back normal. No need for surgery that would have ruined his GI system for life, no more losing body parts. Nobody listens when I try to tell them this story and just simply change their eating habits to live a healthier life. I'm losing friends younger than me. I'm so tired, I don't even bring it up anymore. I can't tell you how important what you are doing, coming from a smart savvy doctor, maybe then more will listen.
It is said that if you eliminate sugar from your diet you get rid of 80% of your problems. Three years ago I dumped my statins, went about losing 18% of my body weight, increased my exercise levels and dumped crisps and most processed foods. And my diet leans towards HFLC, not keto though. My blood markers have never looked better (March 2022), and at 67 I have never felt better.
First hand experience says just as much to me.
Thanks for sharing all of your knowledge Dr Mike! I work in pulmonary function. Over the past few years, my total cholesterol and fasting blood sugars have been creeping up, in spite of me eating what I consider a fairly healthy diet, and being moderately active. Since you did your video on time restricted eating, I have avoided eating between 6pm and 8am most days. I have gone from 130 pounds to 120 pounds. I’m hoping for improved bloodwork at my next annual check-up. (I’m close to retiring and want to stay as healthy as possible as I enter my senior years.)
Excellent Video. I have been on a whole food diet and no oil for the last four years. Since then no more heart attacks, also now riding my bike over 7 miles a day. Best health I have been in since my 30's. Now in my late 60's. Feeling like a new person with energy.
I started a clean Keto diet a year and a half ago. That's not only Keto but watching the types of fat I consumed and greatly limiting processed foods and wheat. Within 3 months I lost 40 lbs, was off my heart meds, diabetes meds, high blood pressure meds and constipation meds. One doesn't need to go to such extremes untill they've had the problems I've had, heart attack, stroke, afib, type 2 diabetes and a partial colorectal recection (FAP he mentions at 7:30). If you start eating healthy before then you can stay healthy longer. Cut your sugar way back and don't eat hydrogenated oils, Canola, vegatable and the like.
Now I cycle off and on Keto and still endulge in the occasional icecream and doughnut, but even when off Keto my diabetes is still much better and controlled by only 1 drug alone instead of the prior 2.
Thanks Dr. Mike and the "Team" I guess the old saying still stands true " You are what you Eat" ❤
This is the first time I've seen a clear explanation about how the food you eat impacts systems in the body, mechanically. The cancer explanation was a revelation to me. I have metabolic syndrome and not one of the many doctors has suggested cutting out sugar and processed foods but they have suggested surgery. I used to be thin and healthy. The medical system is broken but also the food we eat. Sugar is in everything that is processed, even bread. Before the 1970s, high fructose corn syrup wasn't used. I vividly recall when the "Big Gulp" was introduced and sodas got bigger. I feel like things really started deteriorating in the 1980s. That's when fast food really exploded.
Thank you Doctor Mike. I love your videos. I found you during Covid when I was researching it when the pandemic first started. You explain things on a level that the average person can understand. Congrats on a million followers!
Congrats on reaching 1 million. We really appreciate your hard work of researching subjects and helping us live better and longer through information.
One of the best health related video's I've ever seen. Covers a lot in an easily understood, plain spoken way. I'm sharing.
It's always a pleasure to watch & listen to you teach about health matters. Congrats on reaching 1M subscribers, Dr. Hansen. 👏
Dr. Mike is one Responsible Doctor. Thanks for all of your hardwork till now 🎉.
The US is facing a major health crises. It's no longer the beacon of anything other than obesity, poor health and extremism. We have extremist politics, extremist diets and extremist health.
Thank you Dr. Hansen, your communication skills and the way you share these health topics is truly fascinating. I'm currently a nursing student and my hope is to one day have an impact on someone's life like you're doing. Thank you for your time and everything you do.

most of the people deserve a alert expert like you, to counteract this overwhelming catastrophic era! Thank you Mike.
Thank you for always being clear, concise and inspiring us to continue the fight to get healthier. Knowledge is power and truth is what we need to realistically reach our goal of good health. Best to you.
Congratulations, Dr. Hansen! I always like to listen to your Medical Lesson in You Tube. You are one of the best about Medical Healthcare. 👍💖
Such good information. Thank you doctor Hansen. Everyone please share this video with your loved ones and social medías.
I did a complete lifestyle and diet change 1.5 years ago. Have lost 55 pounds. Starting to feel better now but my gut is still healing and changing. I had NO IDEA that all my problems were because of what has been happening in the gut. Our food is poison and too msny of us still dont know it. At 63 i just didnt feel good at all and decided this was UNACCEPTABLE so i finally instigated the changes. No looking back ❤️
You always give us you're viewers so much info what is going on in this crazy world of ours. Thank you Doc
Dr. Mike, I indeed you're a special gift in our times. ❤️
Congrats on your 1M achievement!!! Thank you for your informative content!!
As a lay person I've never heard such a good explanation about the stuff I've been hearing or listening to for years but didn't really understand. Thanx so much. First time viewer & subscriber 🙏🏼💥
I have always tried to take care of my health, I am 56. I have never been over weight and stay very active. This pandemic allowed me some time to double down and really lean what contributes to overall health. There is a lot of information out there and plenty of dogmatic followers of this diet or that. In all that information, there is a general agreement that we eat too much, too often and too many processed foods. I have to say, this video provides a well balanced overview of the most significant threat to public health, out collective diet.
You cannot exercise away a bad diet. I learned that I was healthier than most but I realize I had some problems with my diet. I now am very careful to avoid sugars in any form. I reduced my overall carb intake and limit my eating to a 5 hour window, 2-7 PM. Best advice I got was to shop the perimeter of the super market and avoid all the aisles.
Dr. Hansen is right that we cannot fix health care without fixing our diets. Our Government subsidizes the big four crops that are the basis of every processed food, Wheat, Corn, Soybeans and Rice. This allows food companies access to cheap ingredients to make pop tarts, cereal, frozen pizza and everything else. These processed foods are actually cheaper than whole food alternatives. Instead of spending trillions on dialysis, heart surgery and everything else, perhaps we could spend 100's of millions subsidizing whole foods. Drop some of the supports for the big four processed food ingredients. If the working poor saw fresh broccoli for $1/pound and boxed mac and cheese at $3, we would see better diets on average.
I am about to be 62. I am so thankful that I am very healthy and fit. It has been over 40 years since I last ate fast food. I stick with whole organic nutrient dense foods. This was a video that everyone needs to see.
Thank you Dr. Hansen & the team. Keep up the good work! Health is wealth!
"You are what you eat", I heard this all the time when I was growing up(late 70's, early 80's), and not so much anymore, I wonder why? We are without a doubt, the most freedumb country/society on the planet, so I guess I just answered my own question. Great video like always Dr. Hansen.
chrislaustin; The father of medicine Hippocrates said, ‘Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food’. So, the idea about diet determining someone’s health has been around since 460 BC. You haven’t unearthed a new idea.
As a physician I have been advocating healthy diet and some exercise as a part of routine care as long as I have practiced. Some are willing and others find that eating whole foods is too much of a sacrifice. The problem is that food is intertwined with culture and even personal identity. Compound that with a toxic food environment and food deserts, the problem becomes writ large. Thank you for the video. Hope it inspires as many people as possible.
Thank you for this! Wish someone had told me about processed food earlier. However, I started 5 years ago, stopping all processed foods and white sugar. It has been a remarkable journey. My health is 100% improved, and I feel so much better. So thank you again Dr. Mike Hansen in putting this out there - we need to spread the word far and wide!
You have done a fabulous job of summing up everything I've read, listened to regarding the Pandemic, my comorbidities that would wreck me if i got Covid, metabolic syndrome with a large side of type 2 diabetes, and I was a Certified Group Fitness Instructor, go figure. The health crises has been good for me as i learned what i needed to do which was 180° from what my docs told me to do. I'm passing this on as your explanation is better than me trying to breakdown Jason Fung's, Robert Lustig's books to others. Thanks so much.
You also have to wonder how many people in this country fall victim to fatal diseases because they simply can't afford insurance or the crippling costs of healthcare. Let's not forget that these costs have also risen precipitously over the last fifty years.
As someone who studies this as well as deals with it, the most difficult thing is knowing how to eat to fix metabolic disorder
Having worked in a holistic heath practice for years, I absolutely loved this video. This was my favorite video I’ve ever seen you do. Thank you for spreading the word!
So many of my friends have type-2 diabetes and it is so sad to see them continue to eat the processed foods that cause their illness. And it isn't just the processed foods--they also overeat as if they were doing hard work, or exercise, and needed the extra calories.
I know it is hard to resist all the delicious food available today. There are fast-food restaurants or 24-hour marts on just about every corner it seems. I live within a two-block walk of four of these. And when I'm tired, it is tempting to just go out and get something to eat. So I make a variety of frozen dinners I can just pop in the microwave whenever I'm too tired to cook something. I use whole foods that freeze well, taste good when nuked, and don't add inches to my waist line. My Achilles heel is pastry and I'm still working on getting that where it should be.
Please share some of those homemade frozen dinners!
Thank you. I just watched this again because I received blood test results today; high triglycerides, borderline A1C, low HDL. Time to bite the bullet and change all of that😝 I needed your pep talk!!!
We love you Dr. Mike, soo glad to see you back. 👏🏼🎉Did not know NYC had better water. 🧐☺️🙏🏼
Dr.Mike, I am a more recent viewer and admire the manner you discuss different health issues. You are to the point with pertinent info that makes sense and holds my interest. Please continue on your part to deliver great health info and influence those of us desiring a healthier lifestyle. Don from FL.
Excellent doctor giving very helpful information deserves a great reward, congratulations doctor 😊
This is not in line with main stream 🙂👍
If only we HAD 1 million Dr's like you America wouldn't be in this kind of health.
Congratulations on your success in getting the word out online. You have a gift for communication... in addition to practicing medicine...it is a rare combination. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and talents with others.
Thank you ❤️
I wish more regular doctors knew about this stuff. They just want to treat the problem, not cure the problem.
Regular doctors do know about this. They are too often just tired of preaching to the deaf. Others will still warn you about diet and exercise.
I think that sometimes too. Its also the systems which Drs are required to work within, such as the hospital/medical groups that pay the Drs salaries, medical insurance contracts for tests, medical procedures and treatment plans made with the groups.
@@lyfandeth many of us want to do the healthy thing. A lifestyle change is a huge challenge. Drs know this and work with it and around it as well as possible.
When are you guys going to realize they are the problem? They don't want us to get better because they won't make any money. It's 2022. They should have cured cancer by now. Oh wait they have, but they won't help people with the cure because that won't make money.
Allopathic medicine by definition doesn't cure, just provides treatments till you drop dead. Hence, life expectancy in USA is the same as in 3rd world countries: Panama, Barbados, Cuba, Lebanon.
Succinctly presented information with some wicked photos of sweets that made me a little nauseous although I've got a bad sweet tooth. Specifically footage at 10:40 - 10:43, 10:32 followed by mutated cancer cells at 10:33, 3:55, and 11:36. Instead of feeling cravings I felt queasy. Dr. Mike, if those photos are the secret to convincing us to give up sweets, keep bringing them on!
Hi Doc Mike! Thanks so much for taking all of this time, to help all of us to understand and implement these facts! Congrats on reaching 1Million viewers!😁
ICU RN here. This is the best video you’ve made. Finally. You called it out.
I think I did it correctly. Lol.
Intubated. 24 year old last night 320 pounds. Mother brought him a pizza before his “ procedure “. Lol
Our unit here is full. 60 % Covid. We have no staff. I will have 3 pts on vents this weekend with no CNAs or secretary.
I have made two near zero cost changes in my life in the last 3 months. Fermenting foods like yogurt/sauerkraut and using store bought refrigerated Kimchi all the time. Also made a spread sheet and assigned points to various body weight exercises to track and gamify it daily. Just doing a little exercise spread out here and there no crazy long workouts. Push ups, sit ups, lunges, squats, wall holds, planks, leg raises, get ups, burpees, walking/jogging on the spot, playing with a 10lbs medicine ball. I have dropped a shirt size and in an easy way improved all my capacities in my exercises and even improved my elevation gain ability on hikes without much hiking.Low cost and can be done outside or in front of RUclips/Netflix. 15min a day is 90 hrs a year.
Keep it up, Paul, especially on the days where temptation pulls you toward the old, bad habits. I've had a similar journey. The most amazing thing is how _accessible_ good health and feelings are: just eat real food and get 5-15 minutes of legitimate cardiovascular exercise every day. That people do not reach out and grab this good feeling is only possible if they've been tempted into bad habits.
Add weight lifting and your health will improve vastly. Turn fat into muscle and don't worry about numbers on the scale. Look in the mirror to see results. Weight lifting will make a huge difference!
Imagine not being able to eat lots of foods due to intolerance. I am still trying to figure out why all acidic foods and many vegetables cause me major problems. It's so frustrating.
Congrats on 1 million! Im at Skyterra Wellness retreat in NC as I watch this video. I highly recommend this type of retreat to start making healthy choices. Changing lifestyle is complicated.... we need to set ourselves up for success! Thank you!
Kudos to you for educating us on this truth despite it being an unpopular message.
A very interesting presentation. I was an RN in the 70’s on a medical ward. We had very few Adult Onset Diabetes patients. You could count the number on one hand over a few weeks.
As a former RN, who had studied nutrition, my children ate a very healthy diet. We avoided fast food - that was a treat. They were also involved in a number of sports.
My one issue is with the increase of Mental Illness. In the 60’s, depression was a word that was whispered. It was something to be vigorously denied - to have a person with any type of mental illness in one’s family was considered a scandal.
Years later, it gained more acceptance. In my family, it was generational and me and many of my siblings suffered from various forms of depression, GAD, severe phobias.
Had Post Partum Psychosis after 1 child and Post Partum Depression after another.
The meds for those illnesses at that time were pretty frightening - Nardil and Anafranil. Learned to not discuss my experiences with anyone - I was looked upon as a lunatic.
As the years went on, slowly, mental illness started to become an acceptable topic. And SSRI’s were not as frightening as the older medications.
Metabolic problems may have greatly increased, but it does not cover the entire picture for every illness.
As well, because the US does not have Medicare, many illnesses cannot truly be studied, since a large segment of the population is not able to afford care. We
I have vastly improved my mental function on a primarily animal based diet, every few weeks i cook a cup of rice for a desert. I dont know if my bacteria is angry or happy good or bad but its widely agreed that the study of bacteria is in its infancy.
@@JGdnP Knowledge increases with time and further research.
I have been on a drug for 29 years that barely gets prescribed anymore - because it is abused.
I hear long lists of how damaging it is - physically, mentally, etc.
But no long term studies. I am a living example of how untrue all the “ damage “ is.
Now almost 69, reading my old favourites - Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre, The Mill on the Floss. My siblings call me if they need info from the past. I have exceptional recall.
Became a swimming teacher at 48 and earned my Lifeguard award at 49. Took exams at 50 - 95% average. Took up downhill skiing, could finally fly, lane swimmer, diving lessons.
Know one ever listens to my experience. They just encourage me to try and come off.
Infuriating!!
Oh boy you’re the best Doc! Spreading information is the best method to help others choose a better life.
I totally agree on your diagnostic. The problem is why is it so difficult to change behaviors ?
The scientific community must be aware then the medical community and then the politicians. Unfortunately, it will take a long time.
San Francisco also has great water. Thanks for the food advice and congratulations on reaching 1 million subscribers!
Thank you Dr. Hansen for keeping us in the know. Keep doing what you do sir!!
Great and accurate information, my son is Type 2 and was going downhill. We found Virta health, one of the few US programs working to reverse Type 2. He has greatly reduced his meds, is loosing weight and numbers are trending down.
Aloha 🌺 Dr. Mike! congratulations on 1 Millon! Thank you for all you do! 🥰
congratulations doc mike, your discussion is teaching us well, very informative, impressive doc!
Thanks for your video, it's really great what your doing making people aware of the dangers of eating food they shouldn't.
Congrats!!!!! You’ve made a significant impact in my health knowledge.
It’s not about ingesting too much sugar alone, it’s ingesting any food that increases blood glucose: wheat flour, sugar, oats, rice, potatoes, potato chips, fries, quinoa, corn, corn flour, corn chips, popcorn. I thought it was about sugar and cut way down on sugar for years, but bread, pasta, popcorn, potatoes corn products were still part of each day menu. Became insulin resistant but reversed it with low carb high fat diet. Hypertension I had for years was reversed in 5 days. Won’t go back to anything wheat, or high carb.
I so appreciate the thoughtfully prepared & presented information you share on this channel. Thank you for sharing this with the public!
In order to treat my Type II Diabetes (due to 20 years of living in the US), I just did one thing. I came back to my country of birth south India and followed a simple vegetarian diet that my mother taught while I was young. After about 5 years, my blood sugar levels are back to normal values and stopped taking Metformin. I did not do any physical exercise at all including walking. Just food control.
Wow! I did not have this information. I will definitely share this precious information with my parents and friends. Thank you Dr. God bless you
I just love your videos so much! I discovered I have histamine intolerance from a random article I read on Google after a ton of weird symptoms. I promptly cut out the foods and my symptoms disappeared. I cannot eat 50% of foods that other people eat on a regular basis. I see those people with the same symptoms I have had but do nothing about it.
Hello Doctor Fantastic. The visual aids you/your team chose/s for your presentation(s) are greatly enhansing what you are telling us. Thank you for your efforts to keep us healthy - they work. Love from Canada!
Congratulations!! And thanks for all the information that you give us, it’s always so interesting .
Dr. Hansen: Hearty congratulations on hitting the million subscribers mark. You and your highly informative channel truly deserve this honor. Wishing you to reach 10 million mark soon.
Thank you ❣️
This is why I am becoming a registered dietitian!!! You control your food, you control your health!
Thank you for ALL of your detailed informative videos! The information is so invaluable! Congrats on hitting the 1Million Mark! All the best to you!
Interesting video, much of which is mirrored in the UK and especially here in Scotland where overall life expectancy and healthy life expectancy have recently dropped.
Congratulations on your RUclips success! I learned so much in this video. Thank you so much for educating us! ❤
Great video! Congratulations on your first million subscribers!
Lifestyle & nutrition are the key to quality of healthy living. Thank you So much for sharing.
After more than TWO years finally dr. Hansen addresses the ELEPHANT in the room
Congratulations 🎉
You are helping us getting health 😊
Congratulations Dr. Hansen. You deserve it. I really love your videos. You are the best for the medical subject matter...! 👍
Good job, well done. I only discovered what you say about prevention five years ago. I am 60, wish I had known earlier. Keep up the good work.
Same here. Thought I was eating healthy just by avoiding fast food 90% of the time. What a shock to discover that I was actually triggering metabolic syndrome!
Thank you another amazing video of things I grew up knowing as common sense and eating healthy food made from home, now I think young people today don't pay attention to the processed foods and the side effects it has on the body in the long run. Thank you for showing the statistics and further data on cancer and healthy gut verse unhealthy gut.
Pretty much what my research has shown over the last few years. Glad to see it becoming more mainstream.
Congrats on one million. This country needs more fast food chains that serve fresh whole foods for meals to go.
When I hit middle age, I started getting podgy. So, I quit eating carbs, started to lift weights, and do some cardio via walking, jogging and running. Problem solved.
Thank You Dr.Hansen,
Your videos in the last 2 years have helped me keep my worrying for and about my wife stuck in the Philippines down, and also helped her and her family when they caught covid in April 2016. Unfortunately it took my sister in law in my wifes arms on the bathroom floor in the Philippines, but your advice and constant up dates on covid were extremely helpful for us all.
I've missed you posting videos regularly as you had been. I am happy you have continued to do so. And you're in New York, one of my favorite cities in the world. We aren't that far from each other then. I'm just across Lake Ontario in Toronto, Canada. Maybe I'll get to New York again in the future and will have the chance to meet you in person and thank you for the videos that have been so much help to my family. Till then,
THANK YOU.
Keep Safe Always,
Matt - Toronto, Canada
When I began following OECD Healthcare Indicators I was amazed to see that Canadians spend less per person than US citizens spend per person for just Medicaid, Medicare, and VA healthcare. We spend more and Canadians have “free” healthcare.
A study 2 years ago also showed heart attack victims treated in VA hospitals were more likely to survive than those treated by private hospitals.
The data point towards national healthcare as the better option.
Also, if you live overseas, you quickly learn how our factory farmed food which is then over processed tastes bland compared to foreigners food. You also see people walking a LOT more than us. To be healthy, we must save time to walk and cook “real” food.
Healthcare is way overrated. Most health ailments are issues that cannot be solved with more medical intervention. Ounce of prevention goes a long way.
Excellent information, always. Sugar is dangerous but it tastes good! Unfortunately a lot of people can’t afford to eat whole food diets without growing food themselves. The food industry needs to make healthy foods more affordable for the masses and we need to teach our kids how to grow their own food. Education is the key. Thanks for doing your part.
Gracias.
Actually, sugar does not taste that good once you eliminate that addiction from your life.
Ground beef and eggs are relatively cheap, especially when you get to one meal a day.
@@seanveach950 True but a better diet consists of fresh fruits and vegetables which should be cheap but are not unless you grow them yourself.
@@kathym.5676 I don’t eat any plants at all. They are not required and all come with a cost ( not monetary ).
you are what you eat - but with the development of all kinds of chemicals, fertilizers, poisons that are used ON our foods - means that even eating something as healthy as a strawberry means you get a dose of that too: something our bodies weren't really designed to filter out.
Congrats and thank you for all the clarity and understanding of these very important issues.
Just wish this was taught at school level to make young children aware that health starts in their daily lunch boxes.
Also, because the cost of Healthcare in the U.S. is so expensive most ppl put off things until they're an emergency.
You hit the nail on the head - but how to change people's attitudes is another question.
Thank you …great content! Congratulations!
Thank you Dr. Hensan, please discuss milk, dairy and alcohol and how that weakens the lining of the stomach too.
