Thank you for explaining all of this ! The intermittent fasting and severely limiting calories is extremely ‘ popular ‘ but I like how you said that discipline needs to be transferred to the portion control and eating high quality food , plus more essentials of course . Keep spreading the word , thank you ! 👏🌿
Now you're no longer advocating for a sauna and/or cold plunge? Obviously these activities are stressful, especially the cold plunge, but the sauna, as long as you cut it off before an acute stress response occurs, is actually very enjoyable.
Would love to hear more of your thoughts on sauna in a future episode!
So thankful you are here. Adding this test to my biannual Addisons check etc
These bloodwork videos are very useful, in the UK we use mmol/l, so I will need to learn the conversion to understand fully.
Like many we need to go to a lab and Dr`s are not forthcoming with regular tests.
1 nmol is 28.85ng/DL.
And in the UK its better to get a lab test done privately. The drs will keep you waiting for months if not years 😂
Low stress " life" yeah right. If one follows faith sure, but due to the amount of work and education, students and professional careers people go through I highly doubt People can get low stress life. Other than having low stress life, My way of low stress is do work as normal and What you can and later on focused on hobbies that are useful like fixing something, reading and farming or if none the above just help people in general that have problems and solve them and finally take notes on notebook whatever you find interesting.👍
It comes down to choices and making what small changes you can. I gave up a very lucrative position and in exchange received far more. Now we're paycheck to paycheck, yes, but I'm healthier and glad I took those steps.
What about supplementing DHEA? What would be the recommended dosage for women?
You inspired me to start dieting again. I really appreciate the information you put out there.
Don’t diet! Instead change the way you eat!
Forever!
Hey Paul, what do you drink your water out of when your in the go? Love adhering to your advice my guy💪🏽
Cortisol of 12 and dhea-s 423 but flagged high on blood work!
So since you mentioned about getting dhea as high as possible, what about these numbers. This definitely gives me a good ratio though.
Any thoughts on this Paul or anyone
🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
same... At a .02 ratio but idk that its good? I read that it could be fatigued cortisol...
@@carina_12K yea idk honestly, i would like to find out. Personally i think we’re good with a ratio like that. We want cortisol low anyway 🤷♂️
DHEA-S 260 and Cortisol at 6... Thats a .02 ratio! But, doesn't that also mean that potentially you can have adrenal fatigue and cortisol has dropped to far?
Hey Paul, if one is metabolically unwell, how does one become healthy again? Is it as simple as eliminating high linoleic foods and over time you'll get better? Or is there more to it than that?
It’s not that simple. It’s a holistic endeavour. Eat well, sleep well, exercise, no stress. Easier said than done, but there are no shortcuts. What is your main struggle? Is it food, exercising, motivation, don’t know where to start …?
I have found that the above advice is perfect, but sometimes if the metabolic damage is severe, exercise must wait because even mild forms will raise cortisol and create more stress than is beneficial. It takes time, patience, lots of self care and prioritising the healing.
Could you do a short on: what time should I eat my breakfast or dinner.
I have never been surfing before. Just knowing about the sharks and the crocodiles in Costa Rica would stress me out getting on a surfboard every day. I guess stress can be relative depending on what’s going on in a persons life but nutrition is important.
Unfortunately, you can be the healthiest person on earth, but accidents happen. We will all die in God's time, and there is nothing we can do about it, including eating the right foods. All we can do is enjoy the life we are given and do the best we can to take care of our health. Try to increase our odds of living longer and healthier.
How did people live so long and healthy who went through the great depression, 2 world wars, holocaust survivors of concentration camps and gulags.
The stress is immeasurable, yet many who survived live over 100 years old with excellent cognitive functions & good physical capacities.
@@rvz77 Wars are not the best examples since more suffer than come out resilient. Plus I was referring to wild animals and sea life like sharks and crocodiles. Aquaman is only in the theaters.
@@anitahernandez1207 & i am referring to the stressers of war on those who DID survive.
Obviously, those who die during wars do not make it to 100 years of age.
@@rvz77 Because they weren't brought up to be whiners.
So helpful!!
Total test is great but free test is pretty low but when your SHBG is that high that is why - but you know this already!
Dr Paul please invite a gut expert and do a video about gut health, some people cant eat carbs because of gut disbiosis and fungus overgrowth is strict carnivore a tool for a few months to nuke the gut and bring things to balance while you get fat adapted and then reintroduce carbs is that a good plan?
If only getting in the sauna was my stressful time in my day. That would be amazing instead it’s daily at work with the occasional I can’t get my breath moment. Luckily exercise helps me deal with it especially Yoga.
You never want your cortisol to be constantly low. Cortisol fluctuation is very important and it should never be chronically low, how are you gonna increase muscle mass with chronically low cortisol?
I think you are right... I think we need to take the all day cortisol levels to get a better understanding before saying low cortisol is good with high DHEAS. Shouldnt Cortisol be a tits highest in the morning or within an hour of waking up..?
Hey Paul,
I roll jiu jitsu a few times a week and switching to this diet has changed my game completely. Appreciate your help a bunch. One thing I’ve noticed since switching to animal based however is that I’ve gotten two separate staph infections about two months apart and it’s limited my time on the mats. I was wondering if there’s any correlation with the new diet? Staph was never an issue before so I’m curious what your thoughts are. Is there any way I can protect against staph metabolically?Thanks again
Antidotally, what we are seeing is when you switch to animal based lifestyle, your body goes through waves of healing in the form of ‘Oxalate dumping’ Or called keto flu;
During these times your immune system is lowered as it tries to rejuvenate along with the rest of your body’s systems.
You can catch more infections etc. hope this helps.
Well said , but this doesn't apply to people with certain health issue like diabetes etc.
I don’t get the stress thing surely the vigorous exercise you do every day is a massive stress but it keeps you at peak fitness so surely other stressors will do a similar thing 🤷♀️
vigorous exercise breaks the body down - ask any ultra runner about their biometrics after training - 'TRUE peak' fitness includes body fat for hormones, joints that arent broken down, low Cortisol levels, plenty of glucose for thyroid, etc 'peak' is a marketing term created to make men worry about physique and testosterone levels
I had to look you up none of your videos are coming up in my feed.
Ok so you say no fasting but I think you eat dinner around 4pm you’ve said in other videos. If you don’t eat until 7 or so the next morning that’s still fasting for 15 hours. So small amounts of fasting are actually good.
Nah, that's just not eating after dinner and then he rushes out to go surfing before breakfast - who decided that not eating for 15 hours is officially a Fast - people who have something to sell or Western doctors - 15 hrs without food is a way of life for most of the humans on this planet It's only considered fasting where food addicts live and Hospital Industries exist - let's keep it in perspective - pipe down susan
Is the ratio formula cortisol divided by DHEA-S?
Yes. The ratio should be as low as possible. Low cortisol makes a low ratio by definition.
@@gsica2097 Thank you! I had mine tested last October & my cortisol was 13 & DHEA-S was 179 (47 yr old woman). So my ratio is .073. I remember Georgi saying it’s best to be below .5 & better yet .3 or less.
@@neversurrender2337 it looks like you are on the right track. Congratulations. Keep it up.
Thank you!🙌
@@neversurrender2337 my ratio is .148 (C is 14 and DHEA-S is 94) what do you feel is contributing to your higher DHEA-S
Paul I m from Asia Pakistan here sugar cane juice is so fresh and real front of our eyes.
What do you think about sugar cane juice over orange juice because in summer 6 to 7 months nearly impossible to find oranges.
I hope u ll give ur opinion.
I love ur videos and change my life after using quality of eating carbs since 1.5 years.
sugar cane juice is probably in mid 40s for Glycemic Index and fresh orange juice is also about 50 Cane is not as bad as the Media wants you to believe, However, corn sugars are NOT good compared to cane or oranges If your cane juice is organic, do not be worried and just enjoy it with protein and fats to blunt the glucose spike -Ray Peat would be proud
Could you do a short on how to avoid bpa receipts or how to uncover if there is any bpa on receipts.
My cortisol is 15.2, my DHEAS is 90. How do I get to the ratio? (sorry, dumb question). Have been on carnivore for 6 months but after your bloodwork podcast, I started adding carbs again in the form of fruits ans honey. Will test again in 6 months:)
Not a dumb question-- 4th grade math and that was probably a LONG time ago - just divide Cortisol by DHEA-S, so your ratio is 0.16, Paul's is .088 Per Ray Peat info and Georgi Dinkov, Ive added tiny white potatoes, tropical fruits and berries - they've helped sleep quality and cortisol labs
Still missing the role of chronic infections that stress the body
Shekinah Glory Light has over 200 moving parts.
How do we test for this ratio? Just standard tests will contain this data?
Ask your Dr to test them or go to Any Lab Test Now & get them yourself.
ask lab for cortisol and DHEA-s and divide Cortisol by DHEA-S
Could some tell me if there is something I could do to increase my thyroid functioning? I am struggling with low thyroid after 9 months of carnivore? I don't want to take meds if it can be avoided. Can it he increased naturally?
Look up what Ben Bikman has to say about this.
What is the best time of day to take DHEA above age 60 as a male ?
Morning
Your DHEA is low and where is the pregnenolone level?
Yeah I was thinking the same thing. His cortisol is some would say high and DHEA is low. Many have conflicting views on what is the optimal ration cortisol to DHEA. I'm not even sure mine is good or not. I'm at 6.5 ug/dl cortisol and 295 ug/dl DHEA. Don't know if it's good or not based on conflicting info.
And by the way I'm on a low carb plan. Only have carbs around workouts most of time. And I eat a lot of green veggies with the numbers I have. So those numbers I mentioned aren't impacted by being low carbs .
Do a debate with Bart Kay
Bart Kay usually looks pretty stressed and tense.
@@climate-civilizations It would be an epic debate when neither side make friendly compromises.
What about a cortisol of 12.9 and dhea of 450
It said my dhea was high
divide Cortisol by DHEA-S to get the ratio
@@KJB0001 yea i did, its a damn good ratio. But since my dhea flagged high on my blood work, i wonder is thag a good thing because it mace my ratio so good
Can you recommend a diet for my autistic son please. Hes quite a fussy eater
SCD diet
🩷 Thank you
Naw. The state doesn't need to pay for private education.
Hey Paul,your ferritin is too low for a meat eating person!Optimal is above 100 for someone who is athletic.Your opinion?
Actually optimal is lower like 25-75 is optimal for ferritin. I eat a pound of beef everyday & mine stays within that range.
@@neversurrender2337 You must be female.I was refering to men.
He has said before that his levels were high from organ meat eaten daily, so he was blood letting.
@@Kinesiology411 Donating blood?
@@PardieDiem not sure if he donates or just has someone take the blood. He does that rather than reduce his organ meat intake. It's bananas, lol.
High homocysteine. A pronounced drawback of a folate.
What do you mean by this
If you want to lose some weight you will have go through some stress... well, duh. Stress is bad, so don't lose weight? OK.
You’d have to be a pretty high level smooth brain to try and say something like this when obviously nobody is saying that and there is clearly nuance and exceptions.
Thank you for your input, Jub.
Nah your on crack, you know the most important things is more carbohydrates and less dietary fat! It’s that simple! Carbs FTW! 💪💪
Bro lol watch before commenting
Dry fasting > not fasting > wet/intermittent/mainstream fasting
No.. are u dumb
