Tack så mycket Doctor Ekberg. You have given me a full package of holistic info. I'm suffering ALL these problems you've mentioned...plus being postmenopsusal😢. From what you've said I might even have the combination of leaky gut? Please would you also provide an exact package of foods that I need to stick to? No dieticians, medical doctors in the medical fields are looking at these issues as one holistic problem. This has been sending me round in circles without helping me, such that I am now trying to find my own treatment. Thanks so much Dr. Ekberg. I'm going to work on ME and will return soon to give you feedback.
I do all those and still have belly fat. I think one important thing missing on the list is that belly fat is hormone related , I have belly fat only since menopause. Crazy that very few doctors seem to acknowledge that.
Start at 27:00 Get Better: 1) eliminate all added sugars 2) eliminate all juice 3) reduce sweet fruit 4) reduce process food 5) breathing exercizes 6) meditate 7) plan your sleep & exercizes 8) make it important
Thank you for teaching us! Around the time I hit perimenopause is when I realized I needed to say goodbye to sugar. I am now 55, and I do not have belly fat! I focus on protein, fat, and fiber at every meal, and I exercise. My weight stays where I want it. My stress level remains stable. I do not feel tired during the day. Once the sugar was completely eliminated from my diet, the cravings for it stopped. ❤
My whole life I never even liked sugar … UNTIL I hit perimenopause. Gained 50 pound but down 25… it’s slowly coming off because my cravings are so bad. Ugh !
Thank you @rachelmcgill8143 for sharing your great results and helping inspire others. That is so awesome. Cravings usually go away when we eliminate the thing we crave. Keep it up! 😄
I quit eating sugar in early 2020. I have reversed high cholesterol, reversed pre-diabetes, reversed high cholesterol, reversed sleep apnea, and reversed brain damage. People who haven't seen me in five years don't recognize me.
I remember those days when I would be hungry every couple hours. I ate hundreds and hundreds of carbohydrates and sugar. That was just 20 months ago. Practicing keto and intermittent fasting now has changed me completely. I now wear 32 inch pants, never have trouble sleeping at night, never hungry or drained of energy. I do not take a pill or medication of any kind. It is the biggest change in my life that has ever happened.
Thank you @bug8502 for sharing your great results and helping inspire others. That is so awesome. I am thrilled that you have seen such great results. Keep it up! 😄
Sounds like you're feeling better! Keep going. Be that wiry old family ancient that beats all the kids at basketball out on the driveway at every family gathering!
Congratulations I am also following the keto and intermittent fasting I have lost 62 pounds over 3 years. Dr Ekberg is awesome. Keep up the good work 👏
I've Lost A 162 Pounds Following This Man's Advice. With Walking At A Very Moderate Pace . I've Not Gained Any Weight In Over 2 Years. I No Longer Get Tired In The Middle Of The Day. I Can't Put Into Words The Difference In How Much Better I Feel. Most Stuff In Restaurants And Half Of Walmart Grocery Is Very Bad For You. Sugar Is Like Poison.
@@gregorycook1652 I want to be like you when I grow up! To be honest, I’m 66 years old already. I’m still very unstable per perseverance on Dr. Ekberg’s advice. But you inspire me to go forward with this simple approach.
Unless you buy fruits and vegetables Walmart is great place . Just don't buy sugary stuff like coke or cereal or chips. Eggs healthy yogurt healthy skim milk healthy etc chia and flax seed healthy. Every healthy thing in Walmart just look for it ACV best thing in the world fragment stuff best
Hi dr. I'm from Srilanka and have been watching your videos for the last 2 months, my name is Anne and I'm 68 yrs old. I had very high cholesterol, very high blood sugar, and very high triglycerides. After watching your videos I got inspired, motivated and went into a 30 days no sugar and a zero carbs diet and intermittent fasting. I cant thank you enough. I lost my weight from 78Kgs to 63 Kgs, my blood sugar from 8.9 mmol to 5.3 in less than 2 months. All complications like inflammation, dizziness, sinuses have all disappeared. Im very energetic and feel so great in my health. Thank you for explaining everything in full detail. Learning so much about our body and how it works which i never knew before. 😊
As of today, lost 10lbs since 7/6 by transitioning to keto because of your gift of information. Working on reversing this fatty liver that I happened to see I had in some test results that NO ONE mentioned to me. Thank you, Dr. Ekberg 🎉
This is literally me. Years of chronic stress and worrying and now I am left with several food intolerances 😢 I used to also have Candida for 6 months straight and it only went away after I drastically reduced all of my stress. Now, I am on a journey to heal my gut for good ❤
I will be saving this video to watch as a regular reminder. The past few years, I've been experiencing high stress at my job and steadily gaining weight. I knew I was eating more junk food than I should, but I just couldn't seem to stop myself. It sure is a vicious cycle.... stress => carbs => more stress => more carbs. I love to exercise and thankfully have kept up with my morning workouts (walking or low impact cardio - helps to energize me). As much as I used to love lifting, I've lost the motivation to get back into a regular strength training routine. I am starting your recommendations today - especially the breathing and meditation. Thank you for the great videos!!
I love sugar so much. I gave up sugar about 6 months ago but I still crave jt. The true sign of an addiction. Particularly soda because I love the burn. Since I’ve overhauled my diet I’ve gone from 280 lbs to 228 lbs in about 10 months. The secret has been to keep my blood sugar from spiking eating mostly meat and limited non-starchy vegetables and only eating one meal a day. I can’t believe how much better I feel and how my inflammation has disappeared. Thank you for all your advice. It has really helped me stay motivated!
Thank you @GenRN for sharing your great results and helping inspire others. That is so awesome. I am thrilled that you have seen such great results. Keep it up! 😄
I should have kept reading! 😂 I just left you a message in reply to another comment you made. Sounds like you might be on it already, but maybe there's something there... I had to cut the fuzzy, burn-y, carbonated drinks completely. I was a Coke addict for years - Coca Cola, that is! I had to find a substitute and for me that's iced tea. I always liked it unsweetened, but found I now like it very lightly sweetened. I add 6 drops of stevia glycerite to a half gallon pitcher and it cuts the tannin taste without making it sweet. I had a real issue with stevia and couldn't tolerate it and was following someone who uses it frequently. She said it was different, so I took a leap of faith and bought some and it doesn't bother me at all and has none of that aftertaste, either. You might want to give it a try. That's really the only way I use it. She used it, just a very few drops, in conjunction with other sweeteners to get a more natural flavor. I'm content with Swerve or Lakanto so I haven't bothered to try.
Keep doing it! Last year on August 10th I decided to give a try to the carnivore. I planned to stay on it for 90 days. After 60 days I knew I will not stop at 90. I’m now approaching 1 year. I can’t even imagine going back to eating plants. However, I still consume coffee and tea. I’m 56 years old. I have reading glasses for about 10 years already. Couple of days ago I tried to read the book without them and I COULD! I expected other health issues to go away, but this took me by surprise. I still have a long way to go in improving my health. What I can say, don’t expect anything in particular. You will become healthier 100%. The response of your organism will be the biggest joy of your life! Just enjoy! I understand, at two weeks it’s not an enjoyment. You need more time to get comfortable. I felt that after around 60 days. Now, I can say that my eating habits or purpose if eating has changed totally. When I’n eating, I’m not looking for any combination of different tastes in food, but I’m waiting that that pleasant feeling of satiety which is coming with every bite of beef, fried eggs and butter. I have no idea how I can be bored of that feeling!😊
@@viktororlov566 thank you for the insight. I’m 59 years old. My hip is worn out. The doctors want to replace it. All the cartilage is gone and I am attempting to rebuild it with the carnivore diet. It seems like it’s working. The pain is not getting worse. I also have about 100 pounds to lose swelling in my right leg and foot that starting to go away also I had a numbness between my big toe and second toe on my right foot due to my back vertebrae being compressed that’s getting better. Also with the weight loss it’s coming off quick. I have some dark chocolate and asparagus once in a while, but I can’t give up my coffee or my tea either lol
I needed to hear this again. It's so easy to lose sight of "why" I'm trying to eat better and snack less and reduce stress in my life. The world around us is constantly showing us something to shove in our mouth holes to make us feel better or "reward" ourselves. We also face frustration and stress inducing situations almost hourly so we really do want to make it stop and "reward" ourselves with a sugary donut or chocolate or a small bag of chips. It's such an insidious cycle though because of everything Dr. EKBERG just laid out. We give in to our cravings and then the cravings just get stronger as our bodies get weaker and sicker. But all while we are smiling and socializing and working and living our "normal" lives. It really takes some kind of health emergency or life event to wake us up to the reality of what is happening to us. Again big thanks Dr. Ekberg. You got me started on this better path 3 years ago!❤
Good that you are waking up to better understanding and taking control of your health. I find that the one thing most do not talk about for relieving stress and craving these poison goods is to TURN OFF THE TV. Stop watching the games tricking you to eat more and more poison food, while emptying your pockets into their, filling theirs. As long as those fake news main stream media and Ads psychologically put you into a trance of mass mind control. Instead, drink lots more "pure mineral water" , go out for a walk in the park, enjoy pets, nature, exercise in the form of walking, riding, swimming whatever you can do is the most healing. Just be sure to include deep breathing while meditation speeds up your ability to control your own mind instead of others doing so driving you into fear, stress, craving "comfort foods" which should be renamed "poisoned mind control" . Try this as often as you can to start and as you feel better increase. You will feel amazing and be happier with your life. Blessings to you.
This makes so much sense! I never thought about metabolic stress. I was eating very strict keto and slacked off and I can feel a huge difference. Time for me to move off the nail.
Dr. please don't forget to discuss the role of hormones in metabolism and weight gain, as I am experiencing this firsthand. Since entering the premenopausal phase, my metabolism has slowed drastically. None of the strategies you mention in your video have worked for me, not even fasting. Despite following various diets, I continue to gain weight. A few years ago, simply eliminating bread, pasta, and rice would result in a 5-pound weight loss each week. Now, even with dietary restrictions, intermittent fasting, and long walks, I struggle to lose a single pound. In my case, hormonal imbalances are the primary cause of weight gain. One solution or diet does not fit all. People dealing with weight gain, especially those facing different ages, genders, and hormonal issues, need customized diets, fasting plans, and hormonal therapy. When metabolism is significantly hindered by hormonal imbalances, losing weight becomes nearly impossible, regardless of physical activity. Even if long walks yield some weight loss, the weight quickly returns once the main issue-hormonal imbalance-isn't addressed.
Wow! It’s been awhile since I’ve listened to your show. I remember when you hit one million. Look at all the people you are reaching out to now!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Wonderful video, thank you! I eat a low carb, mostly 90% carnivore diet for the last 2 years. It has helped me lose weight, stop migraines and deal with stress or getting sick much better. I find it easier to stay on a carnivore diet rather than any other because you know exactly what you’re eating, no decision fatigue.
Another masterpiece video by Dr. Ekberg on achieving good health. I wish I had known this information even 20 years ago. I would be a much healthier person today.
You are correct . I eliminated my use of insulin and metformin I couldn't afford the copay . I walk one hour everyday. Eat no processed or preserved foods. Maintaining 5.4 A1C for 10 years
Ive been following the good doctor's dietary advice for a few months and my weight has gone down by 7% which isn't that much, but it has been so easy and I feel a lot more healthy. It has been a real eye-opener.
Thank you Dr Ekberg for another great video teaching us about our body and the way things work. In my life, the stress factor is the hardest one to deal with. I can control what I eat, I can make conscious decisions about the food I consume but sometimes I feel I cannot control the world around me. To me, dealing with stress is the most difficult part to deal with. The regular exercise definitely helps to reduce it though. Once again, thank you for your dedication and time.
Missed watching your videos, lost 80 pounds, lost my way. Gained quite a bit back now appear to have found it again. Thanks for all you do it helped me back then and now I appreciate you and the motivation it gives me even more, thanks
“Hungrier”happened to me the year before I was diagnosed with pre-diabetes. I would eat and eat and not feel full. Now, as a carnivore, I finally am not thinking about food all the time. What a relief!! (And my glucose this morning was 89. 😊)
I had an adenoma right where the small intestine met the large intestine. I'll bet I had....aybe still have SIBO...I was highly stressed and eating tons of fast foods. Forty percent of my colon was removed. NO longer addicted to fast food, but 68 y/o, post menopausal, and still obese. This info is helpful.
Thanks . Great video. That explains exactly my problem. I am a worrier and take everything to heart, thinking about the same worry for hours. Sleep badly and not enough ,l love exercising and weight lifting but loose my motivation and l get in th vicious circle. Thanks again for the important analysis and the motivation boost.
@@drekberg Dr ekberg, thank you for your efforts, can you please make a video about, very low blood pressure, 70 sys, I'm on keto, people always talk about hypertension but they neglect the low blood pressure ... actually last week, i went for a swim, then i trained for about 30min very hard, then i was about to faint, i was shaking really hard, couldn't stand up .. people told me, I may have diabetes or heart problem, but i'm on keto for long time, i don't consume any sugars or fruits, no bread, no rice, no pasta no oatmeal no carbohydrates rich foods ... but why do i have that very low blood pressure while i consume salt enough, and aslo i got like migraines recently after that day of swimming things become more worse ..
One thing I’ve been trying to do this year has been limiting stress to only during workouts and minimal times outside of that. Also, prioritizing sleep. Down almost 40lbs since new years
Another very enjoyable video to watch. I’m a 51 yr old male with celiac disease. Ive been using the gym for over 30 yrs and eat relatively healthy but chocolate is my demon. This is mainly due to the lack of tasty gluten free foods but having watched this video, I’m going to make a conscious effort to reduce the amount of chocolate I eat. I’m fit and is use the gym regularly, never eat fast food but due to the amount of sugar in my diet things need to change. Thank you for making such an interesting video🙏
Holy guacamole Doc! This is your most profound video yet. Loaded with relavent info that completely hits home with my fat 59 year old self. I recently started a keto diet that is actually almost 100% carnivore out of convenience. I haven't even looked at sugar or anything made with wheat flour. In the past two weeks I have reduced, maybe eliminated my inflammation and my swelling is gone. My mood has improved and my sleep is better the last few days. I have lost a lot of weight (I'm sure it was mostly water at first) and my motivation for physical activities has just come back. Now I know more about my gut biome and maybe can also improve that which might help my plaque psoriasis. It might be all in my head, but it seems like the production of scales on my skin has already slowed down. The knowledge I just soaked up from your video confirms that I am on the right track and that is motivating in itself. I just bought a bicycle and I'm gonna go get on it right now!
Thank you @wednesdayjoshua1674. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it. The purpose of my channel is to explain the principles and mechanisms of health in such a way that you start gaining an understanding and respect for the miracle that is the human body. I spend so much time on it because when we get "the why" and start owning the mechanisms we become empowered for life . Comments like yours makes it all worthwhile. 😄
Thanks for a great video. I believe getting good sleep is key to reducing stress in the body, and maintaining a consistent sleep schedule is crucial. This seems to be the one thing missing for many young people who stay up late-they're hitting the gym and doing everything else right, but without proper sleep, they're not fully taking care of their health.
Awesome video & information! Re: Stress, after 2+ decades working in human behavior, I believe most stress is rooted primarily in our relationships (i.e. emotional connection) with other people (even if a few degrees of separation like the CEO of your organization) or meeting basic physical needs such as food and shelter which humans now rely on money to obtain. 75% of people quit their job because of their boss and it's not because the boss is overweight or didn't take enough steps that day. It's because of their relationship and likely not feeling heard, understood, or valued by boss/management.
It's a work in progress. I am currently cutting back on artificial/chemical/high-pesticide ingredients first and then start cutting back on highly processed carbs/oils. Natural sweeteners (cane sugar, honey, maple syrup) will be culled back slowly after I see how my body feels after lowering the chemical/carby item consumptions. My weight has always been stable, but my energy levels varies. There will always seem to be an energy crash in the middle part of the day, but I have been able to handle my stress/focus a lot better than before during tough situations at work.
hello doctor good time I am Javad Bayrami, 45 years old from Iran. Thank you very much for your valuable content. Thank you very much. Your valuable content is very useful for me. I also practiced karate. I was overweight. By the grace of God, I reached 85 kg from 117 kg. I wish you the best.
I am really sensitive to stress, and it is really hard for me to make it go away. And when stressed it is very easy to get overwhelmed and start eating bad, and fall into an cycle. Because unhealthy diet gives only more stress
Stress is harmful for you. There were times that I was angry at the world, about things at my job, driving with others on the road, etc., and I could feel it doing something to my body. Unfortunately, I'm a perfectionist, or at least I tried to be, so I'm always fussing to make things perfect.
Similar mindset here. It helps to turn up the “appreciation dial” and for example when sitting at red lights, that can be you-time to reflect on positive past and future events.
Keep the videos coming Dr. Ekberg! You're such an awesome teacher! I keep learning from you, and you continuously refresh my knowledge and understanding. I'm really grateful! I'm hoping you keep on with RUclips for years to come! Hope your Friday is great!😊
I can say being in both camps, when at my worst with food addiction i can eat above 5.000 carbs daily of junk, and despite eating so much never getting truly satisfied. but within an healthy diet i feel satisfied within 1.000-2.000 carbs of junk (i will sometimes eat outside of the diet with friends, or on my birthday). On top of that i can feel that my body really does not like the junk anymore when longer on the diet. But if i keep forcing junk, it is easy for me to fall back in eating unhealthy
One of the saddest things I've witnessed in my life is people going through all the work to get a gastric bypass just to gain the weight back within a few years 😢
Excellent point about the freak of nature. Many folks continue to smoke because they see somebody deep into their 80s smoking. That 80 something is the exception, not the rule.
Hey Dr 😊 ,I am from India and ever since I have came across your channel I am following every advice of yours and I have tried to follow and my life is better now...I am doing completely fine and I can't thank you enough for the content you offer....❤

I understand, at two weeks it’s not an enjoyment. You need more time to get comfortable. I felt that after around 60 days.
Now, I can say that my eating habits or purpose if eating has changed totally. When I’n eating, I’m not looking for any combination of different tastes in food, but I’m waiting that that pleasant feeling of satiety which is coming with every bite of beef, fried eggs and butter. I have no idea how I can be bored of that feeling!😊
I'm not very old(38yo) but mine struggle with backpain (for 15 years) is away. 🎉
@@viktororlov566 thank you for the insight. I’m 59 years old. My hip is worn out. The doctors want to replace it. All the cartilage is gone and I am attempting to rebuild it with the carnivore diet. It seems like it’s working. The pain is not getting worse. I also have about 100 pounds to lose swelling in my right leg and foot that starting to go away also I had a numbness between my big toe and second toe on my right foot due to my back vertebrae being compressed that’s getting better. Also with the weight loss it’s coming off quick. I have some dark chocolate and asparagus once in a while, but I can’t give up my coffee or my tea either lol
I am also taking glucosamine chondroitin
supplement daily
Catching this again a month later. It was a very inspirational message.
I needed to hear this again. It's so easy to lose sight of "why" I'm trying to eat better and snack less and reduce stress in my life. The world around us is constantly showing us something to shove in our mouth holes to make us feel better or "reward" ourselves. We also face frustration and stress inducing situations almost hourly so we really do want to make it stop and "reward" ourselves with a sugary donut or chocolate or a small bag of chips. It's such an insidious cycle though because of everything Dr. EKBERG just laid out. We give in to our cravings and then the cravings just get stronger as our bodies get weaker and sicker. But all while we are smiling and socializing and working and living our "normal" lives. It really takes some kind of health emergency or life event to wake us up to the reality of what is happening to us. Again big thanks Dr. Ekberg. You got me started on this better path 3 years ago!❤
Good that you are waking up to better understanding and taking control of your health. I find that the one thing most do not talk about for relieving stress and craving these poison goods is to TURN OFF THE TV. Stop watching the games tricking you to eat more and more poison food, while emptying your pockets into their, filling theirs. As long as those fake news main stream media and Ads psychologically put you into a trance of mass mind control. Instead, drink lots more "pure mineral water" , go out for a walk in the park, enjoy pets, nature, exercise in the form of walking, riding, swimming whatever you can do is the most healing. Just be sure to include deep breathing while meditation speeds up your ability to control your own mind instead of others doing so driving you into fear, stress, craving "comfort foods" which should be renamed "poisoned mind control" . Try this as often as you can to start and as you feel better increase. You will feel amazing and be happier with your life. Blessings to you.
I got all my lesson at the beginning of the video with the story of the dog.
Thank you so much as usual !!
You're calming, loving, and matter of fact. A healthy addiction is following your Page in my life. I learn so much Dr. Ekberg.
I’m 45 days into OMAD and am down 46 pounds thank you for these videos
This man has the beautiful ability to explain things really well❤
Appreciate your willingness to educate us rather than convince us. Thank you 😊
Thanks, Dr. Ekberg! As always, a masterful presentation!
Knowledge is power that can create change! What a gifted educator! Thank you, Dr. Ekberg!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Excellent guideline which you never hear at any RUclips channel.
Thanks for sharing and uploading.
Thanks for this very informative video and the useful information
Great advice, thanks!
I really need to lose 10 lbs. Im 60 now, and it's not so easy to lose weight!
This makes so much sense! I never thought about metabolic stress. I was eating very strict keto and slacked off and I can feel a huge difference. Time for me to move off the nail.
Thank you for the very important information in this video. I will share it with family and friends.
Dr. please don't forget to discuss the role of hormones in metabolism and weight gain, as I am experiencing this firsthand. Since entering the premenopausal phase, my metabolism has slowed drastically. None of the strategies you mention in your video have worked for me, not even fasting. Despite following various diets, I continue to gain weight.
A few years ago, simply eliminating bread, pasta, and rice would result in a 5-pound weight loss each week. Now, even with dietary restrictions, intermittent fasting, and long walks, I struggle to lose a single pound. In my case, hormonal imbalances are the primary cause of weight gain.
One solution or diet does not fit all. People dealing with weight gain, especially those facing different ages, genders, and hormonal issues, need customized diets, fasting plans, and hormonal therapy. When metabolism is significantly hindered by hormonal imbalances, losing weight becomes nearly impossible, regardless of physical activity. Even if long walks yield some weight loss, the weight quickly returns once the main issue-hormonal imbalance-isn't addressed.
This is quite simply the best video on the internet dealing with this subject. Take notes!
Wow! It’s been awhile since I’ve listened to your show. I remember when you hit one million. Look at all the people you are reaching out to now!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Wonderful video, thank you! I eat a low carb, mostly 90% carnivore diet for the last 2 years. It has helped me lose weight, stop migraines and deal with stress or getting sick much better. I find it easier to stay on a carnivore diet rather than any other because you know exactly what you’re eating, no decision fatigue.
One of your best podcast , you made it very clear to understand !!! And this to me is the most important as this is the door to bad health . 🙏💕
Another masterpiece video by Dr. Ekberg on achieving good health. I wish I had known this information even 20 years ago. I would be a much healthier person today.
You are correct . I eliminated my use of insulin and metformin I couldn't afford the copay . I walk one hour everyday. Eat no processed or preserved foods. Maintaining 5.4 A1C for 10 years
Ive been following the good doctor's dietary advice for a few months and my weight has gone down by 7% which isn't that much, but it has been so easy and I feel a lot more healthy. It has been a real eye-opener.
Thank you Dr Ekberg for another great video teaching us about our body and the way things work. In my life, the stress factor is the hardest one to deal with. I can control what I eat, I can make conscious decisions about the food I consume but sometimes I feel I cannot control the world around me. To me, dealing with stress is the most difficult part to deal with. The regular exercise definitely helps to reduce it though. Once again, thank you for your dedication and time.
Converting to Catholic helped me so much with stress.
Missed watching your videos, lost 80 pounds, lost my way. Gained quite a bit back now appear to have found it again. Thanks for all you do it helped me back then and now I appreciate you and the motivation it gives me even more, thanks
This channel is an absolute treasure
“Hungrier”happened to me the year before I was diagnosed with pre-diabetes. I would eat and eat and not feel full. Now, as a carnivore, I finally am not thinking about food all the time. What a relief!! (And my glucose this morning was 89. 😊)
Bravo! ❤
I love your channel Dr.Ekberg. You offer hope when all seems lost. ❤ Many, many thanks
I had an adenoma right where the small intestine met the large intestine. I'll bet I had....aybe still have SIBO...I was highly stressed and eating tons of fast foods. Forty percent of my colon was removed. NO longer addicted to fast food, but 68 y/o, post menopausal, and still obese. This info is helpful.
Thank you 😊
I can listen to you talking all day without getting bored a bit. You are a magician really❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks . Great video. That explains exactly my problem. I am a worrier and take everything to heart, thinking about the same worry for hours. Sleep badly and not enough ,l love exercising and weight lifting but loose my motivation and l get in th vicious circle. Thanks again for the important analysis and the motivation boost.
Keep it coming! Sugar: check. Stress:...ah...
Thank you @jumb0j0ck. I appreciate the feedback. Keep learning of ways to counteract and manage stress. Thanks for watching.😄
I've long since decided I'm not giving up on my stress. Been married to him this long. 😆
@@KismetWLS Amen, LOL!
😂@@KismetWLS
Knows a lot more than most Docs,thanks for all your info
You are welcome @michaeljewell53. I hope it was helpful. Thanks for watching
@@drekberg Dr ekberg, thank you for your efforts, can you please make a video about, very low blood pressure, 70 sys, I'm on keto, people always talk about hypertension but they neglect the low blood pressure ...
actually last week, i went for a swim, then i trained for about 30min very hard, then i was about to faint, i was shaking really hard, couldn't stand up .. people told me, I may have diabetes or heart problem, but i'm on keto for long time, i don't consume any sugars or fruits, no bread, no rice, no pasta no oatmeal no carbohydrates rich foods ... but why do i have that very low blood pressure while i consume salt enough, and aslo i got like migraines recently after that day of swimming things become more worse ..
One thing I’ve been trying to do this year has been limiting stress to only during workouts and minimal times outside of that. Also, prioritizing sleep. Down almost 40lbs since new years
Always immensely instructive.i never stop learning. 😊😊😊
Another very enjoyable video to watch. I’m a 51 yr old male with celiac disease. Ive been using the gym for over 30 yrs and eat relatively healthy but chocolate is my demon. This is mainly due to the lack of tasty gluten free foods but having watched this video, I’m going to make a conscious effort to reduce the amount of chocolate I eat. I’m fit and is use the gym regularly, never eat fast food but due to the amount of sugar in my diet things need to change. Thank you for making such an interesting video🙏
Holy guacamole Doc! This is your most profound video yet. Loaded with relavent info that completely hits home with my fat 59 year old self.
I recently started a keto diet that is actually almost 100% carnivore out of convenience. I haven't even looked at sugar or anything made with wheat flour. In the past two weeks I have reduced, maybe eliminated my inflammation and my swelling is gone. My mood has improved and my sleep is better the last few days. I have lost a lot of weight (I'm sure it was mostly water at first) and my motivation for physical activities has just come back.
Now I know more about my gut biome and maybe can also improve that which might help my plaque psoriasis. It might be all in my head, but it seems like the production of scales on my skin has already slowed down.
The knowledge I just soaked up from your video confirms that I am on the right track and that is motivating in itself. I just bought a bicycle and I'm gonna go get on it right now!
Thank you Doc Sten!
THANK YOU, DR, FOR YOUR TEACHINGS ❤
Thank you! You always explain things so well ❤
Thank you @wednesdayjoshua1674. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it. The purpose of my channel is to explain the principles and mechanisms of health in such a way that you start gaining an understanding and respect for the miracle that is the human body. I spend so much time on it because when we get "the why" and start owning the mechanisms we become empowered for life . Comments like yours makes it all worthwhile. 😄
Crazy how I followed this without seeing this of video and I've been feeling better the last 3 months
Sugar and stress has been my diet today. Election Day. 😮
Love the video it was very helpful 🙂
Thanks for a great video. I believe getting good sleep is key to reducing stress in the body, and maintaining a consistent sleep schedule is crucial. This seems to be the one thing missing for many young people who stay up late-they're hitting the gym and doing everything else right, but without proper sleep, they're not fully taking care of their health.
Thank you for your consistency 🙏🏽 much love and we appreciate you now and in the future
Awesome video & information! Re: Stress, after 2+ decades working in human behavior, I believe most stress is rooted primarily in our relationships (i.e. emotional connection) with other people (even if a few degrees of separation like the CEO of your organization) or meeting basic physical needs such as food and shelter which humans now rely on money to obtain. 75% of people quit their job because of their boss and it's not because the boss is overweight or didn't take enough steps that day. It's because of their relationship and likely not feeling heard, understood, or valued by boss/management.
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽Dr Ekberg as well an excellent health information or teaching.
Your videos and scope of knowledge is breathtaking. Super love this channel!
Great information. I am developing a stronger why
Dr Ekberg, this video is a masterclass!! Thank you for sharing it!!
BIG THANK YOU STEN
You are welcome @ugiperformance9495. I hope it was helpful. Thanks for watching
It's a work in progress. I am currently cutting back on artificial/chemical/high-pesticide ingredients first and then start cutting back on highly processed carbs/oils. Natural sweeteners (cane sugar, honey, maple syrup) will be culled back slowly after I see how my body feels after lowering the chemical/carby item consumptions.
My weight has always been stable, but my energy levels varies. There will always seem to be an energy crash in the middle part of the day, but I have been able to handle my stress/focus a lot better than before during tough situations at work.
This is really eye-opening, thank you
Thank you Dr. Ekberg.
Thank You! Those where realy great advice and realistic to follow as well!
hello doctor
good time
I am Javad Bayrami, 45 years old from Iran.
Thank you very much for your valuable content.
Thank you very much.
Your valuable content is very useful for me.
I also practiced karate.
I was overweight.
By the grace of God, I reached 85 kg from 117 kg.
I wish you the best.
Amazing video as always.
Finally, the best explanation for the fat in the body. Gonna need a lot of work to implement that info to use
Thankyou for sharing! I love this community & how we can inspire each other! You've got this 100%...I can feel your energy!! So positive ❤😊
@@snowyperk1588 calm your t1ts, im not that positive
@@vmdenis3350 ur not wrong, I can get over-excited. Wishing you all the best.
I am really sensitive to stress, and it is really hard for me to make it go away. And when stressed it is very easy to get overwhelmed and start eating bad, and fall into an cycle. Because unhealthy diet gives only more stress
🤗😊
Try meditation! Meditation reduces stress, feel better after doing it. Davidji is on UTube. He teaches meditation. His teaching has greatly helped me!
Make sure to get enough magnesium everyday. It helps the body process stress in healthy way, and improves sleep, blood circulation, muscle health.
It's not about making stress "go away". It's about coping correctly with the stresses in our lives.
@@retirementpirate3665
From u.k.
Agree, had a couple of bad ones!
Meet them head on, and move on!
No choice!
Another great video by Dr. Sten.
Min 2:30 it does not hurt enough to change the situation..100% true! That's our biggest problem! 😮😮
God bless you doc ❤
Stress is harmful for you. There were times that I was angry at the world, about things at my job, driving with others on the road, etc., and I could feel it doing something to my body. Unfortunately, I'm a perfectionist, or at least I tried to be, so I'm always fussing to make things perfect.
😢
Relating to your comments. All together now and breathhhhhhh ❤😊
Similar mindset here. It helps to turn up the “appreciation dial” and for example when sitting at red lights, that can be you-time to reflect on positive past and future events.
Give it to Jesus 😊 ✝️
Thank you Dr. Ekberg !
Thanks for this Dr. Sten🥰👌🙏
Keep the videos coming Dr. Ekberg! You're such an awesome teacher! I keep learning from you, and you continuously refresh my knowledge and understanding. I'm really grateful! I'm hoping you keep on with RUclips for years to come! Hope your Friday is great!😊
Thank you Dr you are the blessing to us👏👏
Blessed man!!
I can say being in both camps, when at my worst with food addiction i can eat above 5.000 carbs daily of junk, and despite eating so much never getting truly satisfied. but within an healthy diet i feel satisfied within 1.000-2.000 carbs of junk (i will sometimes eat outside of the diet with friends, or on my birthday).
On top of that i can feel that my body really does not like the junk anymore when longer on the diet. But if i keep forcing junk, it is easy for me to fall back in eating unhealthy
One of the saddest things I've witnessed in my life is people going through all the work to get a gastric bypass just to gain the weight back within a few years 😢
Excellent point about the freak of nature. Many folks continue to smoke because they see somebody deep into their 80s smoking. That 80 something is the exception, not the rule.
Thanks Doctor
You are welcome @edelagudo35. I hope it was helpful. Thanks for watching
Thank you for explaining this so well. My motivation has just been motivated. I desperately need to exercise.
Thank you very much @Dr.Sten Ekberg♥️
I'm done with sugar. Screw that noise! It's a losing game.
Thank you Dr Elkberg so very much for all the information to teach us how to pay attention to what we eat🙏🙏🙏
Hey Dr 😊 ,I am from India and ever since I have came across your channel I am following every advice of yours and I have tried to follow and my life is better now...I am doing completely fine and I can't thank you enough for the content you offer....❤
To think is a great gift, to clear one's mind of all thought is the greatest gift of all. 💚
That story hits the heart of the problem. Often, when we wait for it to hurt bad enough, irreversible damage has been done.
Exellente as always, Thank you so much ❤❤❤
