Right now I'm thrilled with the results I've gotten from keto with intermittent fasting, both in regards to weight loss and survival from an extremely life threatening health emergency that occurred 6 months ago. Today, my neurologist reviewed my latest brain scan and said it looks perfect. No blood clots left at all. Of course, a couple of very good Neurosurgeons helped as well. I had a double (one one each side) subdural hematoma and a small stroke in early February. Two separate crainiotomy's drained the worst of them but now there are no remaining clots and I can resume my normal activities. I've been eating only one fairly large ketovore meal a day to promote autophagy. I go anywhere from 22 hours to 24 hours without eating most days and while not a long time, enough to get some benefit from self eating each day. There is still some threat from a stroke due to blood clots from my extremities but I think it's greatly reduced from autophagy. Had I not lost the weight and continued my new way of eating through recovery, I have no doubt that things wouldn't have gone as well.
@@shaanlusinclair2395 It does, though I was advised to not do extended fasting for a while in order to keep my brain well fed. I’ve don intermittent and OMAD instead.
I am an Adapt Your Life Academy participant and appreciate you interviewing Dr. Westman. His program has helped me reverse diabetes, lose 130 pounds and get my life back in terms of daily energy and ability to participate in activities that I enjoy. This stuff works!
Thanks to all of the participants in this inside baseball discussion. Without years of previous reading, watching and listening most of this presentation could easily be misinterpreted.
I've been on keto for about 15months and lost about 50 pounds. I had a heart attack a few weeks ago and needed 2 stents. They're wanting me to take statins. At first I refused, but now I'm going to take them for a few weeks, then have a low dose. This video helped me a lot. Thank you. I live in China so it's difficult explaining to my doctor that I'm on keto and my cholesterol is gonna be high. Also my wife has wanted to give me low fat food, but I managed to talk her out of it.
I would like to know why my triglycerides have increased over my HDL with the worsening of my autoimmune condition (mixed connective tissue disease). My total cholesterol is 453. LDL is in the high 300s. I've lost 8 kilos since going on the keto / carnivore diet. I feel much better, but crazy cholesterol and inflammation is still high. I'm on homeopathic medicine now. Started a month now. There's been a reduction in the swelling in my hands and feet.
That is nothing. My LDL is 541. My HDL is the highest it has ever been at 87. My triglycerides were mildly high because of fasting time I believe. My HDL to Triglycerides ratio was a little high. I wanted the VLDL breakdown but they didn't do it. First time I had blood work in 18 years and am Carnivore.
@@Irisgomesjmjfaith ~ I believe that high triglycerides can be due to inflamation ... not certain. I take one SloNiacin to help balance my blood lipids 👌
@@Irisgomesjmjfaith My cholesterol has always been high for 40 years and I am still alive. Since I have gone Carnivore it increased and I wanted a CAC test but they won't order me one so I will get the life screening test next month. I have been a Carnivore one year and I am always adjusting. I figured out VLDL. Total cholesterol minus HDL minus LDL = VDVL
I lean toward thinking that any diet that cuts out refined sugar, flour, and added oils (junk food in general) is going to result in weight loss and better health. The McDougal diet and Dr. Westman’s Keto diet both result in improved health over SAD, but, Dr. Westman’s diet is much easier to stick with.
My husband was prescribed a high dose of a statin that destroyed his memory. This was years ago and statins were prescribed like candy. I’m grateful that the medical professionals have awakened to better diagnostic tools so statins are not prescribed Willy Nelly.
Excellent video I noticed that some of the patients have negative impacts on their body I strongly it’s due to overcooking their veggies, I started taking the crispy almost Aldente approach when still some of the crudity is left and took my sweet time to chew and started the release of digestive enzymes in my mouth and never had the problem of being bloated and still today I have no issues and I no longer take any meds.
Thanks for sharing this gorgeous vacation spot. Yes, to stay and experience the home is key. That makes the experience on a whole other level. Love the "Dose of Dandy" name and you both will be FANTASTIC!
Dr. Westman mentioned regarding factor, Family History. It dawned on me when it comes to metabolic disease and arteriolosclerosis, should not the Family member's History and Diet go together to evaluate correctly? I know two brothers who have been eating different diets most of their lives. I sure one will have a different outcome than the other because of the diet difference. Another complicating factor that should help give the "History" more or less weight in an assessment.
My cardiologist is willing to write an order for CIMT but I can't find any radiology facility that offers it in Virginia. Has CIMT gone the way of 8 track tapes?
Dr Vega. I was trying to introduce my mom in Argentina to all these things I've been learning about metabolic health from you guys, but unfortunately can't seem to find any material in Spanish. Is there any content you could recommend that it's not in English? Thanks a lot for everything you are doing!
Is there somewhere we can learn more about Sr Westmans program to certify or train those of us who are not specifically md doctors? Would like to pursue that have been very successful on my journey and would like to coach others safely
Thank you for doing these videos. I just want to say that you need to have your thyroid checked by a doctor other than the doctor you have been going to or take your blood work to a different doctor. I had no thyroid hormone in my blood and my TSH was over 100. I tried keto and It made an egg size stone in my gallbladder. Even the surgeon said my doctor caused me to these issues. I also got Desmoid tumors and had to have major surgery. I have blood work going way off again. TSH is a 2 good but Blood sugar crazy even at 100 carbs a day. so i am going KETO again. I Have to take almost 60 units of insulin to get in a ok range.
Is Dr. Brewer less important and that's why his name isn't capitalized? LOL As I understand it as long as your triglycerides to HDL ratio is low then your LDL is the large fluffy good type of LDL. I'm 77 and my triglycerides to HDL is 1.0 and my LDL was 177 at my last lipids test as I remember. However, I had a CAC score or 305 in January of 2023. Anytime I've had a CIMT it has never been in hundredths of a ml.(Such as the ones from Lifeline Screening). How do I get one of these better tests. Evidently, I've just been getting an ultrasound and they are calling it CIMT. How is that even legal? Where can I get the more accurate CIMT here in NE Pennsylvania?
Thank you Dr Westman! I was debating whether to get a Life Line Screening this year, because they give me grief about my high LDL, ignoring my great Triglyceride/HDL ratio, and telling me I’m pre diabetic when my BGL is not rock bottom after a 12 hour fast. So I will do it again, and take the data and run! 😂
High Cholesterol levels can indicate inflammation infection in the body. Cholesterol is used by the the body to counter infections in body. This fact is not well known. Very high cholesterol could show very high inflammation is present. Check it out.

These two doctors are at the front of "prevention." Hopefully, this will be the new breed of future M.D.s ... 🙏 ✨️
Thank you very much!

Dr Brewer and Dr Westman together in one video…enjoyed the intelligent conversation in a thoughtful soft spoken manner.
Excellent discussion & debate. Comments were kept respectful! Refreshing and trustworthy.
This is so wonderful to be able to listen to this. These docs are doing a great service to humanity

ummm...your'e writing clearly indicates Keto contributed to your heart attack. I think you need to listen to your wife.
3 Great Docs who know what it takes to get healthy.

McDougall diet is devoid of nutrients😅
@@powerguiller Maybe that is why it’s so hard to stick to.
Once you get fat adapted and stay in ketosis the craving for carbs goes
@@JustaBritinChina So true. In addition, I am simply not eating as much. Two small meals a day of protein and veg.
My husband was prescribed a high dose of a statin that destroyed his memory. This was years ago and statins were prescribed like candy. I’m grateful that the medical professionals have awakened to better diagnostic tools so statins are not prescribed Willy Nelly.
Love your channel & have learned so much. Thanks

I'm an advanced athlete with great genetics, so I eat both animal protein and non processed carbs, fruits and greens and nuts.

Great interview! Looking forward to next weeks topic. My cardiologist is all about APOB and LP(a)
Can you have a “zero” coronary calcium score and STILL have a heart attack or Stroke caused by soft plaque?
Yes!
My cardiologist is willing to write an order for CIMT but I can't find any radiology facility that offers it in Virginia. Has CIMT gone the way of 8 track tapes?
Cardio Risk Laboratories has a network, call them for the closest provider.
Dr Vega. I was trying to introduce my mom in Argentina to all these things I've been learning about metabolic health from you guys, but unfortunately can't seem to find any material in Spanish. Is there any content you could recommend that it's not in English? Thanks a lot for everything you are doing!
Actually we have, check the latest uploaded videos we have at least 5 of them with audio in spanish, we are also working on a separate spanish channel
Love the honesty of your guests. I learnt a lot.
Where to find physicians of metabolic health practioners?
Coleus fixed the thyroid up to the point of the sound Therapy at BFlat. Not the hair issue. Working on it.
What's low carb to one, say 30 to 60 grams, is not to another, which may be 130 grams per day.
Is there somewhere we can learn more about Sr Westmans program to certify or train those of us who are not specifically md doctors? Would like to pursue that have been very successful on my journey and would like to coach others safely
Looks like someone got a red gaming chair since I last watched 😅😅
What is a CIMT?
Carotid intima media thickness
It’s an ultrasound test cost is about (out-of-pocket) $250 US
It tests for “soft” or vulnerable plaques
I need to see apoB video now 😩.
Great discussion!

Can anyone shed light on gout? I did my first 5 day water fast. But that boosted my uric acid to from 8.4 to 14.8.
I keep my gout at bay (caused by the diuretics I take for my heart) by taking the juice of one lemon each day
@@rayharrison6234 Thanks for the tip. Just curious whether you have tried apple cider vinegar.
Thank you Dr Westman!

I am getting that screening next month
So what's wrong? Define the diets mentioned.
Salisbury steak. Was dr Salisbury from the 1800s. It was a meat only diet for gout.
"What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Cholesterol" Dr Stephen Devries tells it like it is. 😊😊😊
Great show as usual. Thx all
Natto thins blood by fixing excess fibrin and still clots a cut.
Gracias 😊😊😊
De nada!
Can you please tell your guest to...further Explain...what he's really saying...so we can actually understand him ! Wth ?
What don’t you understand?
yeah I thought hewas very straightforward.
if anything Dr. Brewer seemed unsure about Statins.
High Cholesterol levels can indicate inflammation infection in the body. Cholesterol is used by the the body to counter infections in body. This fact is not well known. Very high cholesterol could show very high inflammation is present. Check it out.
Not when you are a LMHR
What’s the Tl;dr???
