So amazing! 9 months keto and lifestyle for BD2. Complete remission. I have so many of things talked about by Dr Means. Migraines, early hearing loss. Food sensitivities and allergies, multiple eyesight issues, joint problems. All are either vastly improved or gone today. This is such good news that this is being actively researched. Thank you so much!
Both parents smoked Lucky Strikes, while I had repeated ear infections.I was given repeated rounds of penicillin despite being allergic to it. That was the only treatment in the 40’s. I went on to have a lot of sinus problems until around age 20 when I finally got away from second hand smoke. Later colon problems showed up. Focusing on fermented foods and growing a lot of organic veggies has been very healing for me. Essentially, I’ve healed through food choices.
This was really interesting. Toward the end, you talked about the 30g protein/meal. Since I started that, I've been able to restrict calories. I was really never able to do that before without going out of my mind, so that's been a game changer for me. I'm also glad you said that 70 as a fasting blood sugar is ok. I am taking metformin 500mg 1x/day and when I've tried to go off of it in the past, my appetite went through the roof and my lipidema got much worse... so I'm relieved to hear that my last BG of 73 was ok. I need someone to call my doctor and tell her to chill though because she threatened to take me off the metformin.
Excellent commentary, the variability concept is really useful for those people who are at risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Fasting glucose tests seem unable to pick up on these things and then suddenly someone is on the verge of type 2 diabetes or may even develop it without much warning
I loved this podcast! This subject is so interesting to me. I always hear of people saying taking a walk after meals helps to lower blood sugar but what about a light run or walking/sprint intervals? Would that be more beneficial? That’s what I usually do so I was curious. Nobody ever addresses anything other than walking. I also walk/run for about 1-2 hours after dinner. I’m asking because I wonder if this is counter productive
They probably encourage walking because most everyone can walk. Not everyone can run. Sean OMara pushes sprinting over long distance running for optimal health.
Great podcast. I just need to add some healthy people like me wake up with high fasting glucose level, but under 100 before lunchtime. I go based on A1C and before lunch glucose levels.
Great podcast as always. I really enjoyed listening to Dr Means. I do want to point the obvious: we do not need more gadgets to tell us what we need to eat to be healthy and my patients know very well the difference between eating an apple vs an apple pie. We need a shift in culture but very few really want this. Certainly not the food industry.
The gadget is very my helpful though. It's very difficult to comprehend the difference in numeric terms. Watching the metabolic response in real time is a real wake up call.
True, and I changed my ways 4 years ago at 63. But I still wonder what is happening in my body. I blood test occasionally but a CGM would be so helpful. I can't get one because I am not diagnosed diabetic. But I feel I am full blown prediabetic. And very on the edge. My first A1c ever last year was 5.5. I was not happy about that. CGMs should be available to anyone who wants to try and follow their BG patterns, maybe for a month or so, at least.
@@crescentconstruction4298 Thanks for sharing your experience, yes, it can be a wake up call. Having said that I am still not sure of the impact overall on a non diabetic eating a well balances WF diet. The benefit may be marginal to most healthy eaters.
@@jellybeanvinkler4878 HgA1C 5.5 is defined as non DM, I do hear you that you do not want to getting into the pre DM range. You could sign up for Zoe or Level or other programs that will get you a CGM for a short time. Having said that a very close scrutiny of your diet may be the best thing you could do. I am not sure for the average healthy eater discovering that oatmeal gives you a higher spike than a juicy streaky fatty steak or a keto protein bar ( I am stating the obvious here) is that helpful, in fact if may be detrimental in the broad context.
@@jellybeanvinkler4878 you can get a CGM through levels (Dr Means company). That's where I got mine. They give you the prescription with the membership.
If a 57 year old man like me is doing higher heart rate push/pull/core/legs super sets or big circuits for 1.5 hours three times a week there are others also doing it because for those over 50 higher heart rate functional exercise gives the most benefits.
Great podcast ladies and very informative. Is metaformin a good product for people with insulin resistance and more sedentary? Additionally, can metafotmin be used to combat the prescriptions that people take that cause insulin resistance? ❤
I don't think Metformin is very good. It never really lowed my blood glucose. 6 yrs ago it almost killed me, by lowing my blood pressure very,very low.
So, the menstrual component is interesting to me. I recently started HRT & bumped up to .50 mgs. I have noticed a very different response to food now…feels like I’m not handling it as well compared to pre HRT…hmmm
The problem with the flat glucose theory is if you exercise and change it up from time to time and/or progressively add more weight or intensity you will see a a glucose level peak up to 140 during exercise. So that tells me blood glucose levels below 150 from food arent an issue. My blood sugar is far better managed eating carbs in the moderate range including fruit after exercise than when i was very low carb. Exercise plays a huge role in glucose utilization and glucose plays a huge role in exercise performance.
I have been Keto to Keto-Carnivore for 5 years now. I have to disagree. I work a very physically active job where I am on my feet for 10 hours a day. I could not do this job if I was eating too much carb.
@@TheCinder24 well it metabolically is a fallacy because during high physical activity our body is burning the highest level of glucose. Our body is always in a balance of fat and glucose metabolism. We burn more fat during aerobic activity and more carbs during anerobic. Its still always a ratio. Whether Your body can convert enough fat and protein to glycose is another story but if your young and healthy enough obviously it can. When i do super sets at the gym i notice the difference in strenghth and performance not having enough glycogen in my muscles and liver but im 57 year old man who was prior pre diabetic with high blood pressure.
hey doc, protein spikes insulin, so you would have to be on a high fat diet with little protein/no carbs to even approach an issue. you being a muscle advocate, don't see the problem
It depends on the amino acid profile of the protein. Some amino acids, like branched-chain amino acids (BCAA's), may spike insulin more than others. The thing is, leucine, which is one of the 3 BCAA's, triggers the signal for muscle synthesis.
too fat dominant doesnt make sense...you re always making sugar...also you might have stressful moments in your life...also intense workout creates sugar....there s no evidence for this thing that you have to cyclically introduce carbs

Keto is so amazing. I am more Ketovore these days. Life is getting so much better for me.

Brilliant conversation. Thank you. Must get Dr Casey on my HEARTtalk Podcast here in Malaysia. Grateful for her contact.
Fantastic information that is life changing and lifesaving. Thank you!!
Glad it was helpful!

I would say better than ok, 70 is optimal!
So Metformin is lowering your hyperlipidemia? I wonder what the mechanism is?
Try berberine.
@@jameslewis5493 I take it almost daily
@@bonnieo8 lipedema always gets worse for me with carbs or alcohol. I'm sure it's related to insulin resistance.

@@jellybeanvinkler4878 nice! Thank you 😊
Would love to hear more about exercise-Induced reactive hypoglycemia. It’s a scary experience.
I don't have this, but would love to understand what in the world would cause this, too! Best to you.❤
So how do we get our blood sugar down to Dr. Casey’s recommendation?
Fiber
Brilliant!

I wonder.. if you have a fasting glucose of 105 but have a fasting insulin of 3.5.. what does that then mean ? Is this a healthier person ?
Would be lovely if she would cite some of the researches instead of singular papers
Good science
What about plain Greek yogurt?
Starts with high cholesterol, great lady.
hey doc, protein spikes insulin, so you would have to be on a high fat diet with little protein/no carbs to even approach an issue. you being a muscle advocate, don't see the problem
Protein usually has a mild glucose impact for most. 20 oz. of bison raised mine about 9 points. Not exactly a "spike."
It depends on the amino acid profile of the protein. Some amino acids, like branched-chain amino acids (BCAA's), may spike insulin more than others. The thing is, leucine, which is one of the 3 BCAA's, triggers the signal for muscle synthesis.

Hi dr g! Quick question? Are u a fan of Botox for the face? Just curious on your assessment. I need help at my age😊
She realized she was a drug pusher
Now she’s a businesswoman and now she’s out to make money. Forget it. I’m done
A bit cynical.

She should become a waitress and educate her customers? That would work?
