Please consider interviewing Eric Lerner from LPPFusion about his fusion energy research which can give us compact fusion generators that produce zero pollution and zero nuclear waste! It is just the matter of when, not whether, fusion will flip the power switch from fossil fuels to clean fusion power. Fusion can raise a standard of life for all while eliminating pollution, and protecting the nature. Democratization of power is possible - but we need to let people know about it...
I love your scientific research. We the public NEED YOU. I must get back to exersise now im retired. I built houses for 50 years so never needed exercise program. only chiropractors. Your science gives ME and my happy gut biome a chance to stay off meds. at 73 onwards. I would like to be tested for visceral fat just to know. cheers
Sumo wrestler life expectancy is approx. 20 years less than average in Japan, same as NFL players in USA. Dead young. #1 marker of metabolic health is weight. Obviously some people get away with it, same with everything (including smoking).
I must admit. I fall in and out of love with this podcast. Every time I get exited and watch a lot. I always get to a point where Tom talks so much about himself, interrupts a lot or asks a question within a question within a question. I get afraid to spend time on the interviews. Had to give this feedback. Because it’s one of the 5 channels I keep getting back to for the last 5-10 years. And it’s a solvable problem. Thank you!
Tim Bilyeau is one of a kind, is exquisitely talented, inspirational for overcoming personal obstacles, and a hugely successful entrepreneur. With respect and friendship towards Mr. Tim, I agree with @Bart Rennen's observation. With some exceptions, interruptions distract from a guest's message, and rarely wind back to the significant thread. Many interrupters have the unfortunate, uncanny intuition to interrupt at exactly the moment of the crux of the conversation. The guest never gets to close the deal / impart the pearl. The audience knows they have been cheated. Tom's personal questions are insightful & have merit. His channel could move into SuperNova realm if he would quash his need to know by 3/4s. I have found the Native American "Talking Stick" concept applicable to my own interruption, over-talking or conversation domination tendencies. Creating my own sticks better instills the lessons I am wanting to manifest personally, no matter the arena. The variety of available podcasters provides a veritable feast of techniques, maneuvers, backgrounds, psychological & emotional styles to learn from & enjoy. Tim Bilyeau plays in a field of stars and earned / deserves his place.
This podcast was difficult to listen to and I really enjoy Tom’s thoughtful questions because he really wants to understand, obviously. The guest observed and communicated to Him that he felt he kept getting hand grenade questions. Tom responded by continuing to give him hand grenade questions one after the other, unrelenting. Just by taking it down a notch for the enjoyment of the audience would have been good. Alright enough about sumo wrestlers for a good long while now
Dr Li you are exactly right. I was a TOFI, I was thin on the outside and drank a ton of cokes. I ended up with Chronic Kidney Disease and Insulin Resistance.. I've been 4 yrs working on my my metabolic health through a low carb/ Fasting lifestyle. I listen to what you say about whole real food to benefit my body. I have normal kidneys now and my body composition has totally changed. Keep up the good work and thank you for sharing your knowledge.
@briantayco6414 I used the healthy keto diet and Intermittent Fasting that Dr Berg and Dr. Mindy teach. 20-50gm carbs, 30gm protein, 64 gm fat. Also got my insulin down to normal .my GFR went from 32 to 64 in two years time. Best of luck to your brother.
@briantayco6414 Dr Berg and Dr Mindy Pelz are both chiropractors that have been providing content on RUclips about Healthy Keto and Fasting for well over 5 years. They know their stuff.
My 97 year old grandmother passed away Feb 28. All of my life I have seen her walk an hour daily, and work and take care of her small apartment. In her last seven years, her eyes began to decline and she slowed down. My grandma had was always under 5'2 and easily 100 pounds overweight. In her last few months, while in a hospital bed was the first time I saw her smaller then ever. Her fat kept her alive longer. For years I have taught my patients that not every body is meant to look the same - keep active daily and watch your diet. Your body knows what to do.
Man those chairs look comfy! So my dad is 95 and just went into assisted living. It's a nice place with about 65 residents. Not one of them is overweight. I have heard that as you get older you lose your appetite. Maybe there's hope for me yet.
So a normally amount of body fat is healthy. Being underweight is unhealthy. Being overweight with too much body fat is unhealthy. Riveting. I would imagine babies need significantly more body fat percentage versus adults as they are growing so rapidly, and need those stores of fat for proper development. It doesn’t seem like a fair comparison at all.
I understand that people have different body types and that not being skinny doesnt mean your not healthy. However thats not the problem. We have an epidemic of obesity. Its one of the greatest killers in our country. Hell we have fat kids. Literally one of the saddest things cause it will forever change their lives and they had no choice.
It just doesn't make any sense whatsoever for someone to have a ridiculously high bmi and yet they can be healthy and live longer like he mentioned massive sumo wrestlers. More size and more weight would necessarily put more pressure on the body at the very least the joints and the heart.
Having extra fat on you can actually be healthy it's complicated it's not a straightforward thing like conventional wisdom would have you believe studies back this, it's helps store toxins away from organs and makes you stronger (modernstrongmen as an example) and help muscular and general endurance the type makes a difference too. (Like the sumo) Fat is a complexe organ. I would suggest Joey swartz for more information he did some choice interviews recently talking about this. ALSO BMI is BS, doesn't even take into muscle mass or other factors it's a VERY flawed metric anyway a lot of the top performers don't fit bmi
@@nicholascanada3123 But you still haven't addressed the point that having such a high bmi puts more pressure on the body in general like heart, joints, bones, liver, pancreas, kidneys, etc. They must work more by necessity of extra weight and volume. If they have to work that much more, then that should affect longevity. Just logically speaking. Respond to that not tell me the benefits of fats. There're benefits for smoking, drugs and anything. We're asking about whether it affects longevity like can a 40 bmi person live as long and healthy as most people at 25 bmi?
Sumo wrestlers are professional athletes, with specialized diets, exercise routine and lifestyle. I’m not sure if comparing them to the regular joe is a good argument
@@aram1231 Does a special diet lifestyle etc, make your organs suddenly more powerful to handle all the extra weight? Does it make your joints bigger/stronger? Does it make the heart bigger and more powerful to pump blood for all the extreme extra weight? You're not addressing any of those points, you're just commenting to comment not to do a relevant comment.
No one said a ridiculous high bmi. Boobs are fat. Your butt is fat. You should have a layer of fat all over your body. Your brain needs fat and Cholesterol to operate at its full potential. Skinny does not equal healthy.
I love this conversation. Dr. Li seems like a sweet natured guy with an authentic passion for his topic. I like the non-scary, non-sensationalist and holistic approach to diet and health. The guy seems to know the history of everything. (O;
What an interesting interview! I really like your supersonic mind. Loved your "let's really clear things up" questions and how your guest answered them. He is right, we should look at food as food, as whole, not as sugar, fat, etc. He has the same holistic approach to health. Loved how the doctor said he is focusing on his patients' health, not marely a disease and its symptoms; prescribing pharmaceuticals only when necessary while at the same time planning how to restore a patient's health and if possible, eventually take him/her off the medication. ❤
I’m yet to do a deep dive into Dr Li’s book. I have an ebook copy on hold at my library. In general I like his manner in that he talks data, not attitude and opinions.
If you are alive, you will make mistakes. That is inevitable. What is up to you is forgiving yourself. Set the intention now. Let your true reflection be waiting for you the next time you look in the mirror. See what you are truly capable of being.
If I remember well, there is a video on RUclips of Drs. Gundry & Li having a conversation together. I just want the beginning. Don’t know if I can Tom Bilyeu. I am just at the beginning. Love Dr. Li. However, Tom Bilyeu is the most annoying & obnoxious podcast interviewer on RUclips.
thank you youtube for. leading me to that channel Awsome Host and incredible guest , an actual Doctor speaking up for a that kind of holistic point based on data .
I am a female in now what is considered to be my late 30s. I have gained about 35lbs since my late twenties and I can tell you all of my blood work has been 💯 on point for years. There is still a deregulation within my body (weight gain) if I don’t consistently feed my body whole, clean foods and moderately to intensely exercise. That would be JUST to maintain my weight. If I stop, I derail. It’s only now through so much knowledge I am gaining that I need to dial it in with fasting, microbiome fixing and other tools that I can get down (and stay down) at a weight I am comfortable at! Oh, and by the way, according to the BMI chart, I am technically considered obese for my height 😵💫
As a 50 year old obese man I found just eating low carb but not keto actually worked best for me I also walked just 30minutes a day. The most important thing for me was reducing stress and learning to love myself again. Also a lot of advice I took 20yrs ago is now no longer valid. Such as eating every three hrs to Never forget God loves you! 🙏💯
Dr. Li, Tom wasn’t throwing grenades, you had an intelligent, well-prepared interviewer asking deep and thoughtful questions for us all to gain clarity in this health and health care crisis. I have watched you both before and this interview was the first to make me a fan of you both. Clarity = understanding, not grenades. Kudos to you both!
Hi Tom: Dr Robert Lustigs lectures clarify some of yourconcerns . There are people who are overweight and metabolically healthy if you look at their blood panels.According to Dr. Lustig about 20 percent of the overweight/ obese population is metabolically healthy. BUT about 40 percent of the thin population are metabolically unhealthy and dont realize it. I thought also that obesity caused diabetes but Lustig says it a marker for diabetes NOT the cause. Diabetics in India and China are mostly normal weight. Lustig says that you can gain about 22 lbs of subcutaneous fat and stay metabolically healthy. Its the visceral fat and esp liver fat that is dangerous. Careful though , even being moderately o erweight increases the risk of multiple cancers.
Tim , thinking about your argument: diet more important than exercise, I think you have a point there cause o have a tetraplegic friend , lean and metabolic healthy 🙏🏻🌷✨🙏🏻
Diverse plants can share the same proteins. Don't take my word for it, look it up! Cross-reactivity happens. I found that all the things I have high reactivity or absolute allergy too are cross-reactive with two different trees. One of which is the birch tree, which I was around a lot throughout my childhood and adult-life, including when they were burgeoning and I started to get sick when they were reddened in the springtime and I was too close to them. So, apparently, my body had a reaction to them, a lot and for a while, so that it started viewing all things with that same protein as a problem. Quite a long time ago, i found out my problem with doing leg exercises is that I developed an allergic reaction that sounds unreal, but it's way too real. If I exercised the front of my thighs, I would get dizzy, nauseous, blurry eyed, maybe even black out a bit. It's an allergy to wheat, tomato and/or shrimp. They all have a protein that causes that specific allergen and it is the same exact protein in all of them. And, I was a person who seldom ate shrimp, but I made a lot of really good, full of vegetables, spaghetti. I can't remember the name of the other tree right now. But, yeah... not the same plant families, not even all just plants, but there is a lot of cross-reactivity even with animals, fish, mold, and dust to plants eaten as food and/or which give out pollen. And, it can go any which way. You might be allergic to a grass, and it cause you to not be able to eat this land animal, this sea creature, and this small list of fruits, vegetables and nuts.
Definitely bring Dr. William Li again‼ I would like to know so much more about his research and his views on cooking and food combinations. Him lighting up when talking about food is also so intriguing and such a plus for me as a viewer 🙏
FANTASTIC interview, Tom! Thank you for doing such a great job sifting through these claims and getting down to the actual science (or lack thereof) behind them. Did he include this "if you have too much fat it acts like cancer" discourse in his book? If not, it's a disservice to the readers.
How to get lean (less then 10% fat) and be healthy at the same time (having high testosterone as well, etc.)? That's the question I'd like you to ask your future guests that talk about food and exercise. Thank you
I think he's asked all the questions that a lot of people may have fallen for many of the fad ideas in the fitness market and ensured they get demystified. Some of us take things at face value, it's good to ask.
A LITTLE BIT of body fat is essential, Dr Li puts forth. But any more than that is JUST AS BAD as everyone has been saying. Don’t confuse the headline.
The question to me is: What constitutes “a little bit” or a certain amount of body fat that is healthy/ideal, and how would that be determined for each individual? How are we to make any kind of determination?
Wikipedia says they live to 60 - 65 years. 20 yrs shorter than the average Japanese male. But I don't think this is predetermined. A conscious change after retiring should I believe allow them to have an average life expectancy. There's people who've changed lifestyles after 50 and 60 and changed things completely
You just shocked me. I've known for TWO DECADES that, statistically, mortality rates are worse for those who are underweight than overweight. HOWEVER, that is a huge simplification. First, it is definitely true that the mortality curve is much more exponential at the underweight end than the overweight end. So, for every BMI point below normal, mortality jumps more rapidly. However, this is no longer true once you move past the point of Obese 2 (Seriously Obese, between "just" Obese and Motbidly Obese)
It is obvious being underweight would be worse because it is a lack of needed nutrients and stores. But likewise over doing it too much is going to do a body no good either.
This guy sounds like he is trying to sell something. He does not give straight answers to anything because he knows he can't; that would destroy his main selling point.
Thank you for the interesting discussion- I’ve been very interested in this subject since learning about the “heath at every size” movement. Love the quote “as the island of my knowledge grows, so does the shore of my ignorance”
So far, this just seems like its going to be delusional fuel for people with lifelong weight issues, a reason not to keep going. I love the podcast overall but this episode seems like a very short message hidden in a lot of unnecessary words. I may be missing the point but all I seem to be hearing is "some fat is good for you" over and over again without giving me any real reasons to truly get behind it. We get having some fat on you is good, we always have, but this is going to be taken out of context by SO many people and likely cause more overall damage. I haven't really been convinced of anything yet and I'm still undecided on whether I'll finish part 2/the last hour.
58:45 Hah! Dr Li has called you out on your questionning method, as I have in the past! I'm curious to know why you feel you need to confirm what is clearly you're own bias and assumptions. I think we all get it - you see ALL fat people as weak willed folk who, by their own poor lifestyle and diet choices, are where they are today. I don't subscribe to the opposite side of the argument btw, that ALL fat people are strictly a product of diet/lifestyle that has been thrust upon them and they are victims. It's a far more nuanced situation, with likely as much internal influence as external.
This episode was a great watch. I am currently eating to heal inflammation and was wondering how to eat after my body gains homeostasis. Currently my diet is very restricted. I know I am not going to eat this way the remainder of my life. This video gave me a greater understanding of what to incorporate into my eating after I lift the restrictions. Thank you.
1:38:00 The lectins are in the skin and seeds of the tomato, not the WHOLE tomato. Tomatoes in Italy are de-seeded and de-skinned. Misinterpretation of Dr. Gundry's explanation of lectins. Most lectins are in grain, even if you pressure cook them. But Dr. Li does have an interesting point because the french and europeans have been eating bread forever yet are thin and healthy.
I also am concerned WITH WHAT WE KNOW about the "receptor site" for absorption, issues of these fructose/ fruits.. reg. Or dried, w/o added sugar. Thus FRUCtoses COLLECTIVE capability of blocking the receptor site for the nutrients an providing only/primarily the Fruc tose to the HUMAN with ACTIVE CANCER???
The average lifespan of a sumo wrestler is 65. Mid 50s for an NFL lineman. There is nothing healthy about being over-fat. It's just that young athlete working out regularly can get away with it.
Interesting but hard to figure out what to eat. This guest says natural foods are good. Nightshades and such, others say they are not good and to avoid some vegetables. Thank you for digging, but the more I know the more I learn about my ignorance.
I love these sessions Tom. I’d love for a CliffsNotes section to be left in the comments. I feel like my ADHD brain just needs a summary at the end to make sure I didn’t forget anything. Haha
Getting 1200 calories out of sodas is a good thought experiment, but it's unrealistic as it would create a high insulin spike which will create cravings due to fructose. Perhaps you should select something more realistic without fructose for this thought experiment.
CAN ANYONE TELL ME how the body dictates what will become visceral fat vs subcontacious??? As in what makes the body say hmm i think il store this peace of fat today as visceral instead of subcontacious ??? How could we burn 1 of the fats off without burning the other ???
estrogen plays a big role. low estrogen (men and post menopausal women) get bellies (visceral fat). high estrogen (premenopausal women) causes more subcutanious fat.
Interesting idea Tom, that we have a limit on our ability to process calories over our lifetimes. I wonder if this is partly why smaller people (under a certain height) statistically live longer than large people. Even if at 5’ a person may very slowly gain weight eating 2000 calories a day depending on their muscle mass (I can attest that this is true as I am 5’ tall) they may still live longer because 2000 calories would be restricted for many people who support larger skeletal systems?
Glad you liked it! Check out other videos from our channel too. We've got a TON of content regarding health and wellness. Have a wonderful week! Best, Impact Theory Community Manager
I would love to know if by rotating diets for example..3 months cornavor diet then 3 months keto then 3 months whatever.... would this be good for the body bc it makes the body exercise its adaptability and gets well rounded ammounts of everything ..or woukd it crash your metabolism long term???
It is interesting. The one-off example of the oldest woman to ever live cited that she ate, slept, and exercised at the same time every day. I would reckon that her diet choices were consistent as well. I would be interested to find out.
@@cbradley857 I'm sure they were. Most people don't give a second thought to their diet and are on auto-pilot, especially older folks. Being neurotic about food choice is a modern problem, almost out of necessity since everything is poisoned.
Seems most natural based on environmental factors. Meat and Nuts in winter. Produce in fall. Fruit in summer. Seems most natural to change diet with the seasons.
@@fizeekpoaster clearly. I’m simply speaking to seasonal diet patterns at large. Think pre-grocery store…no Amazon delivery…evolutionarily speaking, it’s seems humans probably varied their diets according to what was available, and those patterns were likely seasonal and territorial. 🏔 🥩
I have two obese friends, and they both swear they are not diabetic. I do not know how this can be. I always assumed everybody who is obese is diabetic. I do believe that at some point they will become diabetic if they keep on the path they are on because you can go 20 years without seeing markers like that.
Their blood tests show they aren't diabetic. You're at higher risk of diabetes, that does not mean they'll have it. A Dr that looks at these teats like this day to day would know as they have seen the data and do not base their statements on assumptions and population averages.
Hahaha Tom like to use sumo wrestler for example, I would say sumo wrestler in there best condition stage or on there healthy stage at that point, if they can keep the "best condition stage" all the time then they are in healthy condition still. but if they have any change in there lifestyle, they will going down faster then you and me in my opinion.
The Sumo restless are doing fine during their carier because they are very young. Generally they get retired by 30, and issues start after retirement, unless the reduce their size. Many of them get heart attack. So that example doesn’t help.
What about 3 12oz cans of diet coke a day. I need someone to tell me the truth about what that’s doing to me! I don’t know because it depends on what I read/watch.
Listen to Dr Robert Lustigs talks on the dangers of excessive added sugars in ultraprocessed foods. Sodas and fruit juices are liquid sugar . You need to be eating real food. Good luck, you know at some level that 3 sodas per day is not healthy. Good luck
OK well. I got one more to say see you in 6 months after you just told me 3 months prior to an ultrasound that you said I only had 1 situation. Going on now you say i've got a total of 3 see you in 6 doctor doctors lawyers and Indian chiefs. What happened to the real understanding of taking care of your patients
I appreciate the differing viewpoints you bring to the table. We can all take at least one piece of knowledge from each of the guests and pply to our lives accordingly!
Thank you for your positive feedback! We're stoked to hear that our content is resonating with you. Wishing you a happy Monday and a great rest of your week. Best, Impact Theory Community Manager
@TomBilyeu You may not see this, but I have a suggestion or I guess a wish. For interviews like this, I would love visuals. I enjoy watching and learn better that way. So, for example, while describing what the fat cells look like and how they work, I’d love to watch it in action.
fat is there just for when you are staving or when food is not available, like baby before know how to eat, like people when sick can not eat, than fat will be in for your energy use. if we are healthy and have stable healthy food come in everyday, we don't really need lot of fat, I have 6% of body fat. 😁😁😁👍, thanks for sharing Tom!
we are always looking for complicated solution when it come to health, don't know why? in fact, should be very simple, "living balance" is the key for health.
I get that it's a novelty that gets people's attention. In the academic sense you "can" be overweight and "healthy". But, Sumo wrestlers are the far... far ... outliers. In most people's world, we will never see a human that is that overweight in any type of reasonably decent healthy shape. Also, how many overly skinny people do you know? I knew one, and that was my father. I think this fact should be made crystal clear. I.E. - "Sumos are healthy." Now hand me that milkshake. 😂
Nurse here and I agree! The obese died by their 50s/60s...kind of the same thing with alcoholics too. They usually tap out their livers and begin to die between the 40s-60s depending on how much they drank. If you get to the menopause/andropause age and aren't taking care of your body by then...your body is ready to show you it isn't appreciating you not doing so!
At first I was really confused why Tom you seemed so egar to get detailed answers on specific questions in regards to nutrition and calories but you insist on bringing on medical doctors who can't answer them instead of the many nutritional scientists who easily can...( Layne Norton, Alan Aragon) you don't seem to have an understanding of the difference between calories as a unit of measure and calories in vs calories out. It's also clear after watching this that you don't understand the TEF of food and its role. What's become clear is that you aren't actually looking for the right answer you are looking for someone to help you reinforce your bias ideology of what you want to be right and this doctor actually tries to even point that out without pointing it out.
No buying into Dr Li on that fat is ok for longevity into 80 and 90s. He says sumo wrestlers are very healthy when examined but they are very young adn if stay at that weight into 50 to 70s will die much younger than average. As mentioned in video Fat storage evolved because much over past million yrs had periods where nothing to eat so fat vital for energy and survival. But today not so much with food everywhere 24/7. My mother in nursing home for last several yrs of life and ages in home from 60 to over 100. All those in late 80 and 90s not close to obese and more thin. I think dr. Li might mention fat is ok as most of population in usa is near or above obese so better to keep all happy so to maybe buy his book. Today more research published on obese people with health issue from fat - this link below. Dr mentioned u can cut 75% of liver out and then to have liver grow back to same size. Tom had good questions on this that Dr having not a good answer - this if have liver disease with scaring and say cut 75% liver out then why not have 75% grow back as mostly good liver cells. The diseased liver to have at least some good cells so why not these good liver stem cells to produce the new 75% liver good cells. Yes some scarring to remain in the 25% but still why not much of 75% with good setup? Not good answer by doctor on this. - amp-theguardian-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/amp.theguardian.com/science/2023/may/21/toxins-from-gut-damage-fat-cells-and-drive-weight-gain-study-suggests?amp_js_v=0.1#webview=1&cap=swipe

No sugar very few carbs.
My 97 year old grandmother passed away Feb 28. All of my life I have seen her walk an hour daily, and work and take care of her small apartment. In her last seven years, her eyes began to decline and she slowed down. My grandma had was always under 5'2 and easily 100 pounds overweight. In her last few months, while in a hospital bed was the first time I saw her smaller then ever. Her fat kept her alive longer. For years I have taught my patients that not every body is meant to look the same - keep active daily and watch your diet. Your body knows what to do.
Man those chairs look comfy! So my dad is 95 and just went into assisted living. It's a nice place with about 65 residents. Not one of them is overweight. I have heard that as you get older you lose your appetite. Maybe there's hope for me yet.
So a normally amount of body fat is healthy. Being underweight is unhealthy. Being overweight with too much body fat is unhealthy. Riveting. I would imagine babies need significantly more body fat percentage versus adults as they are growing so rapidly, and need those stores of fat for proper development. It doesn’t seem like a fair comparison at all.
I understand that people have different body types and that not being skinny doesnt mean your not healthy. However thats not the problem. We have an epidemic of obesity. Its one of the greatest killers in our country. Hell we have fat kids. Literally one of the saddest things cause it will forever change their lives and they had no choice.
For every 1 person this conversation informs, 10 overweight people will convince themselves they're healthy because they "put it on slow"
@JREGreatestHits You could say the same for people who are not overweight.
It just doesn't make any sense whatsoever for someone to have a ridiculously high bmi and yet they can be healthy and live longer like he mentioned massive sumo wrestlers. More size and more weight would necessarily put more pressure on the body at the very least the joints and the heart.
Having extra fat on you can actually be healthy it's complicated it's not a straightforward thing like conventional wisdom would have you believe studies back this, it's helps store toxins away from organs and makes you stronger (modernstrongmen as an example) and help muscular and general endurance the type makes a difference too. (Like the sumo) Fat is a complexe organ. I would suggest Joey swartz for more information he did some choice interviews recently talking about this. ALSO BMI is BS, doesn't even take into muscle mass or other factors it's a VERY flawed metric anyway a lot of the top performers don't fit bmi
@@nicholascanada3123 But you still haven't addressed the point that having such a high bmi puts more pressure on the body in general like heart, joints, bones, liver, pancreas, kidneys, etc. They must work more by necessity of extra weight and volume.
If they have to work that much more, then that should affect longevity. Just logically speaking. Respond to that not tell me the benefits of fats. There're benefits for smoking, drugs and anything.
We're asking about whether it affects longevity like can a 40 bmi person live as long and healthy as most people at 25 bmi?
Sumo wrestlers are professional athletes, with specialized diets, exercise routine and lifestyle. I’m not sure if comparing them to the regular joe is a good argument
@@aram1231 Does a special diet lifestyle etc, make your organs suddenly more powerful to handle all the extra weight? Does it make your joints bigger/stronger? Does it make the heart bigger and more powerful to pump blood for all the extreme extra weight? You're not addressing any of those points, you're just commenting to comment not to do a relevant comment.
No one said a ridiculous high bmi. Boobs are fat. Your butt is fat. You should have a layer of fat all over your body. Your brain needs fat and Cholesterol to operate at its full potential. Skinny does not equal healthy.
I love this conversation. Dr. Li seems like a sweet natured guy with an authentic passion for his topic. I like the non-scary, non-sensationalist and holistic approach to diet and health. The guy seems to know the history of everything. (O;
Very good presentation Dr. Li.
What an interesting interview!
I really like your supersonic mind. Loved your "let's really clear things up" questions and how your guest answered them.
He is right, we should look at food as food, as whole, not as sugar, fat, etc.
He has the same holistic approach to health. Loved how the doctor said he is focusing on his patients' health, not marely a disease and its symptoms; prescribing pharmaceuticals only when necessary while at the same time planning how to restore a patient's health and if possible, eventually take him/her off the medication. ❤
Interesting discussion! Just had that topic on my channel. Very important in todays society! 👍
yeah especially in america, they need to hear this!
I am impressed, great informations and sources ! Thanks ! i am from France and have mediterraneen diet, all you sai so true, Thanks Doc
I’m yet to do a deep dive into Dr Li’s book. I have an ebook copy on hold at my library.
In general I like his manner in that he talks data, not attitude and opinions.
If you are alive, you will make mistakes.
That is inevitable.
What is up to you is forgiving yourself.
Set the intention now.
Let your true reflection be waiting for you the next time you look in the mirror.
See what you are truly capable of being.
This guy is calling out Dr Gundry. Would love to hear a discussion between the two.
If I remember well, there is a video on RUclips of Drs. Gundry & Li having a conversation together. I just want the beginning.
Don’t know if I can Tom Bilyeu. I am just at the beginning. Love Dr. Li. However, Tom Bilyeu is the most annoying & obnoxious podcast interviewer on RUclips.
Dr Gundry makes too many claims that aren't backed up by proper studies. And I can't stand the infomercials
@@betsyc6055 Same here. I can’t stand either Dr. Gundry’s infomercials.
thank you youtube for. leading me to that channel Awsome Host and incredible guest , an actual Doctor speaking up for a that kind of holistic point based on data .
I find the conversation between you and this amazing doctor very very informative! Thank-you ❤!
I am a female in now what is considered to be my late 30s. I have gained about 35lbs since my late twenties and I can tell you all of my blood work has been 💯 on point for years. There is still a deregulation within my body (weight gain) if I don’t consistently feed my body whole, clean foods and moderately to intensely exercise. That would be JUST to maintain my weight. If I stop, I derail. It’s only now through so much knowledge I am gaining that I need to dial it in with fasting, microbiome fixing and other tools that I can get down (and stay down) at a weight I am comfortable at! Oh, and by the way, according to the BMI chart, I am technically considered obese for my height 😵💫
What type of diet do you follow? What are the ~ratios (carbs, fats, proteins)? What type of fat (SFA, MUFAs, PUFAs) is dominant?
Learned so much. Thankyou Dr Li.
super interesting! Many thanks for sharing.
I have an Aunt who has been obese since her twenties, really obese not just moderate, and she is 82years old.
As a 50 year old obese man I found just eating low carb but not keto actually worked best for me I also walked just 30minutes a day. The most important thing for me was reducing stress and learning to love myself again. Also a lot of advice I took 20yrs ago is now no longer valid. Such as eating every three hrs to Never forget God loves you! 🙏💯
Dr. Li, Tom wasn’t throwing grenades, you had an intelligent, well-prepared interviewer asking deep and thoughtful questions for us all to gain clarity in this health and health care crisis. I have watched you both before and this interview was the first to make me a fan of you both. Clarity = understanding, not grenades. Kudos to you both!
I loved the storey about the tomatoes. ❤
Love Dr Li.
Hi Tom: Dr Robert Lustigs lectures clarify some of yourconcerns . There are people who are overweight and metabolically healthy if you look at their blood panels.According to Dr. Lustig about 20 percent of the overweight/ obese population is metabolically healthy. BUT about 40 percent of the thin population are metabolically unhealthy and dont realize it. I thought also that obesity caused diabetes but Lustig says it a marker for diabetes NOT the cause. Diabetics in India and China are mostly normal weight. Lustig says that you can gain about 22 lbs of subcutaneous fat and stay metabolically healthy. Its the visceral fat and esp liver fat that is dangerous. Careful though , even being moderately o erweight increases the risk of multiple cancers.
Tim , thinking about your argument: diet more important than exercise, I think you have a point there cause o have a tetraplegic friend , lean and metabolic healthy 🙏🏻🌷✨🙏🏻
Tom, I don’t care for mushrooms either but I love them in veggie pizza. Maybe if you purée them and add them in soups.
Diverse plants can share the same proteins. Don't take my word for it, look it up! Cross-reactivity happens. I found that all the things I have high reactivity or absolute allergy too are cross-reactive with two different trees. One of which is the birch tree, which I was around a lot throughout my childhood and adult-life, including when they were burgeoning and I started to get sick when they were reddened in the springtime and I was too close to them. So, apparently, my body had a reaction to them, a lot and for a while, so that it started viewing all things with that same protein as a problem.
Quite a long time ago, i found out my problem with doing leg exercises is that I developed an allergic reaction that sounds unreal, but it's way too real. If I exercised the front of my thighs, I would get dizzy, nauseous, blurry eyed, maybe even black out a bit. It's an allergy to wheat, tomato and/or shrimp. They all have a protein that causes that specific allergen and it is the same exact protein in all of them. And, I was a person who seldom ate shrimp, but I made a lot of really good, full of vegetables, spaghetti.
I can't remember the name of the other tree right now. But, yeah... not the same plant families, not even all just plants, but there is a lot of cross-reactivity even with animals, fish, mold, and dust to plants eaten as food and/or which give out pollen. And, it can go any which way. You might be allergic to a grass, and it cause you to not be able to eat this land animal, this sea creature, and this small list of fruits, vegetables and nuts.
Definitely bring Dr. William Li again‼
I would like to know so much more about his research and his views on cooking and food combinations.
Him lighting up when talking about food is also so intriguing and such a plus for me as a viewer 🙏
Excellent discussion!! 👏👏👏 Thank you!
Amazing content Tom, so gratefull.
He is absolutely right, fat babies are cute. I'm off to MacDonald to eat 15 million hamburgers.
Jordan Peterson also said this, "there is nothing so grotesque looking as an adult infant."
FANTASTIC interview, Tom! Thank you for doing such a great job sifting through these claims and getting down to the actual science (or lack thereof) behind them. Did he include this "if you have too much fat it acts like cancer" discourse in his book? If not, it's a disservice to the readers.
Balance, the golden mean ( logics Aristotle).
How to get lean (less then 10% fat) and be healthy at the same time (having high testosterone as well, etc.)? That's the question I'd like you to ask your future guests that talk about food and exercise. Thank you
What type of diet do you follow? What are the ~ratios (carbs, fats, proteins)? What type of fat (SFAs, MUFAs, PUFAs) are dominant?
This is the most Tom has ever let his narcissism come out on one podcast. It’s kinda cringey.
I think he's asked all the questions that a lot of people may have fallen for many of the fad ideas in the fitness market and ensured they get demystified. Some of us take things at face value, it's good to ask.
He destroyed his own pod cast. That explains the negative reviews and low view count! It's almost as if he doesn't like Dr Li. So why invite him?
A LITTLE BIT of body fat is essential, Dr Li puts forth. But any more than that is JUST AS BAD as everyone has been saying.
Don’t confuse the headline.
The question to me is: What constitutes “a little bit” or a certain amount of body fat that is healthy/ideal, and how would that be determined for each individual? How are we to make any kind of determination?
Hmm, i could spend hundreds of dollars on AG1, or I could eat some cheap AF celery...
This was such a good episode!!!!!
Wikipedia says they live to 60 - 65 years. 20 yrs shorter than the average Japanese male. But I don't think this is predetermined. A conscious change after retiring should I believe allow them to have an average life expectancy. There's people who've changed lifestyles after 50 and 60 and changed things completely
You just shocked me. I've known for TWO DECADES that, statistically, mortality rates are worse for those who are underweight than overweight. HOWEVER, that is a huge simplification. First, it is definitely true that the mortality curve is much more exponential at the underweight end than the overweight end. So, for every BMI point below normal, mortality jumps more rapidly. However, this is no longer true once you move past the point of Obese 2 (Seriously Obese, between "just" Obese and Motbidly Obese)
It is obvious being underweight would be worse because it is a lack of needed nutrients and stores. But likewise over doing it too much is going to do a body no good either.
This guy sounds like he is trying to sell something. He does not give straight answers to anything because he knows he can't; that would destroy his main selling point.
Thank you for the interesting discussion- I’ve been very interested in this subject since learning about the “heath at every size” movement.
Love the quote “as the island of my knowledge grows, so does the shore of my ignorance”
So far, this just seems like its going to be delusional fuel for people with lifelong weight issues, a reason not to keep going. I love the podcast overall but this episode seems like a very short message hidden in a lot of unnecessary words. I may be missing the point but all I seem to be hearing is "some fat is good for you" over and over again without giving me any real reasons to truly get behind it. We get having some fat on you is good, we always have, but this is going to be taken out of context by SO many people and likely cause more overall damage. I haven't really been convinced of anything yet and I'm still undecided on whether I'll finish part 2/the last hour.
58:45 Hah! Dr Li has called you out on your questionning method, as I have in the past! I'm curious to know why you feel you need to confirm what is clearly you're own bias and assumptions. I think we all get it - you see ALL fat people as weak willed folk who, by their own poor lifestyle and diet choices, are where they are today. I don't subscribe to the opposite side of the argument btw, that ALL fat people are strictly a product of diet/lifestyle that has been thrust upon them and they are victims. It's a far more nuanced situation, with likely as much internal influence as external.
You haven't explained the detrament of people with food allergies, an lectins are one's that "LIGHT UP" , On IGG, IGE, IGA, specific testing!
This episode was a great watch. I am currently eating to heal inflammation and was wondering how to eat after my body gains homeostasis. Currently my diet is very restricted. I know I am not going to eat this way the remainder of my life. This video gave me a greater understanding of what to incorporate into my eating after I lift the restrictions. Thank you.
1:38:00 The lectins are in the skin and seeds of the tomato, not the WHOLE tomato. Tomatoes in Italy are de-seeded and de-skinned. Misinterpretation of Dr. Gundry's explanation of lectins.
Most lectins are in grain, even if you pressure cook them.
But Dr. Li does have an interesting point because the french and europeans have been eating bread forever yet are thin and healthy.
Add tomato to my shopping list.
Ask -if you can halt it through diet? and safaeguard whatever function is remaining so a transplant is not required???
I also am concerned WITH WHAT WE KNOW about the "receptor site" for absorption, issues of these fructose/ fruits.. reg. Or dried, w/o added sugar. Thus FRUCtoses COLLECTIVE capability of blocking the receptor site for the nutrients an providing only/primarily the Fruc tose to the HUMAN with ACTIVE CANCER???
The average lifespan of a sumo wrestler is 65. Mid 50s for an NFL lineman. There is nothing healthy about being over-fat. It's just that young athlete working out regularly can get away with it.
It’s crazy get out of debit needs to be change or we have nothing we can do and everything is broken all like it’s nothing
What happens to the extra fat cells when you loose weight? Do they shrink or your body get rid of them?
They shrink
If over stressed, they go to fat heaven!
Interesting but hard to figure out what to eat. This guest says natural foods are good. Nightshades and such, others say they are not good and to avoid some vegetables. Thank you for digging, but the more I know the more I learn about my ignorance.
Am I the only one who feels faintly seasick watching the background subtuly sway back and forth? what causes this, its on multiple of Toms videos.
It's only a few seconds at a time. Anyway, why watch it when it's just talking?
I love these sessions Tom. I’d love for a CliffsNotes section to be left in the comments. I feel like my ADHD brain just needs a summary at the end to make sure I didn’t forget anything.
Haha
Getting 1200 calories out of sodas is a good thought experiment, but it's unrealistic as it would create a high insulin spike which will create cravings due to fructose. Perhaps you should select something more realistic without fructose for this thought experiment.
Thank you so much Tom🙏❤
CAN ANYONE TELL ME how the body dictates what will become visceral fat vs subcontacious??? As in what makes the body say hmm i think il store this peace of fat today as visceral instead of subcontacious ??? How could we burn 1 of the fats off without burning the other ???
I think it would be sugar and alcohol that would cause visceral fat.
Diet. Always eat clean. Also activity level. Sumo wrestlers have low visceral fat
Like Live, Learn says, Fructose and Alcohol because they are processed by the liver.
estrogen plays a big role. low estrogen (men and post menopausal women) get bellies (visceral fat).
high estrogen (premenopausal women) causes more subcutanious fat.
As usual you speak more than your guest
Agreed
this guy wrote a book on how its ok to have normal amount of fat
In many ways this interview comes off as an interrogation. You can ask thought-provoking questions but at least let the Dr. answer.
Interesting his example was "eaten by a shark," or "dropped in a volcano." Dropped in a volcano??
Junk food verses whole foods..common sense shoukd tell you eat what mother earth provides us with..
Interesting idea Tom, that we have a limit on our ability to process calories over our lifetimes. I wonder if this is partly why smaller people (under a certain height) statistically live longer than large people. Even if at 5’ a person may very slowly gain weight eating 2000 calories a day depending on their muscle mass (I can attest that this is true as I am 5’ tall) they may still live longer because 2000 calories would be restricted for many people who support larger skeletal systems?
Bob from Tekken is probably healthier than skinny Bob
Excellent informative discussion 👍
Engaging Fab conversation!
Odd pause didn’t work nor did it show up in history + Ad’s way too many
This is one of the best topics so far

My metabolism is slow and I’m losing weight, I’m 58 yrs old.
Whatz your secret?
Also try different mushrooms may give you different flavors
-Interesting how many negative assumptions Tom had made about fat people.
Generalizations are valid.
Well google says that sumo wrestlers die around 20 years younger than other japanese males. 😮
I would love to know if by rotating diets for example..3 months cornavor diet then 3 months keto then 3 months whatever.... would this be good for the body bc it makes the body exercise its adaptability and gets well rounded ammounts of everything ..or woukd it crash your metabolism long term???
It is interesting. The one-off example of the oldest woman to ever live cited that she ate, slept, and exercised at the same time every day. I would reckon that her diet choices were consistent as well. I would be interested to find out.
@@cbradley857 I'm sure they were. Most people don't give a second thought to their diet and are on auto-pilot, especially older folks. Being neurotic about food choice is a modern problem, almost out of necessity since everything is poisoned.
Seems most natural based on environmental factors.
Meat and Nuts in winter. Produce in fall. Fruit in summer. Seems most natural to change diet with the seasons.
@@HBombShitShow Eating seasonally and ancestrally is very different than eating carnivore, paleo, etc. In my humble opinion :)
@@fizeekpoaster clearly. I’m simply speaking to seasonal diet patterns at large. Think pre-grocery store…no Amazon delivery…evolutionarily speaking, it’s seems humans probably varied their diets according to what was available, and those patterns were likely seasonal and territorial. 🏔 🥩
I have two obese friends, and they both swear they are not diabetic. I do not know how this can be. I always assumed everybody who is obese is diabetic. I do believe that at some point they will become diabetic if they keep on the path they are on because you can go 20 years without seeing markers like that.
Obese? 6 times more likely to develop daiabetes, but its not automatic!!!
Their blood tests show they aren't diabetic. You're at higher risk of diabetes, that does not mean they'll have it. A Dr that looks at these teats like this day to day would know as they have seen the data and do not base their statements on assumptions and population averages.
You can't go around accusing people of diabetes lol.
Well I guess you’re the expert lol 😅
😂😂😂 are u serious????
I'd like to see a debate between this guy and Dr Gundry to see where they agree and what they disagree on e.g. lectins
Hahaha Tom like to use sumo wrestler for example, I would say sumo wrestler in there best condition stage or on there healthy stage at that point, if they can keep the "best condition stage" all the time then they are in healthy condition still. but if they have any change in there lifestyle, they will going down faster then you and me in my opinion.
i'm not fat i'm big boned
The Sumo restless are doing fine during their carier because they are very young. Generally they get retired by 30, and issues start after retirement, unless the reduce their size. Many of them get heart attack. So that example doesn’t help.
What about 3 12oz cans of diet coke a day. I need someone to tell me the truth about what that’s doing to me! I don’t know because it depends on what I read/watch.
Listen to Dr Robert Lustigs talks on the dangers of excessive added sugars in ultraprocessed foods. Sodas and fruit juices are liquid sugar . You need to be eating real food. Good luck, you know at some level that 3 sodas per day is not healthy. Good luck
You definitely dont want more visceral fat though. Different types of fat, right?
I had to stop watching when Dr. Li said we need to eat sugar. Completely untrue. He should know better.
If you're eating a wide variety of plant-based foods for better health, sugar is impossible to avoid and avoiding it is not optimal.
waouh Babies have brown fat (active) and adults have white fat (inactive)..You don't know that ?
The more questions Tom asked the more confusing this video got. Anyone else think this guy was confusing?
I think it would be much more watchable if Tom would let the guy finish a topic before making him change to something else with his interruptions
Tom is the one making it confusing
OK well. I got one more to say see you in 6 months after you just told me 3 months prior to an ultrasound that you said I only had 1 situation. Going on now you say i've got a total of 3 see you in 6 doctor doctors lawyers and Indian chiefs. What happened to the real understanding of taking care of your patients
I appreciate the differing viewpoints you bring to the table. We can all take at least one piece of knowledge from each of the guests and pply to our lives accordingly!

@TomBilyeu You may not see this, but I have a suggestion or I guess a wish. For interviews like this, I would love visuals. I enjoy watching and learn better that way. So, for example, while describing what the fat cells look like and how they work, I’d love to watch it in action.
fat is there just for when you are staving or when food is not available, like baby before know how to eat, like people when sick can not eat, than fat will be in for your energy use. if we are healthy and have stable healthy food come in everyday, we don't really need lot of fat, I have 6% of body fat. 😁😁😁👍, thanks for sharing Tom!
Wow Tom. You’re really anti-fat aren’t you. Kinda judgey too 🫠 love the guest’s response at time 39:00
we are always looking for complicated solution when it come to health, don't know why? in fact, should be very simple, "living balance" is the key for health.
❤❤❤
I get that it's a novelty that gets people's attention. In the academic sense you "can" be overweight and "healthy". But, Sumo wrestlers are the far... far ... outliers. In most people's world, we will never see a human that is that overweight in any type of reasonably decent healthy shape. Also, how many overly skinny people do you know? I knew one, and that was my father. I think this fact should be made crystal clear. I.E. - "Sumos are healthy." Now hand me that milkshake. 😂
There is nothing novel about this at all. Studies about being overweight vs at weight and health and longevity have been around for at least a decade.
I worked in a mortuary in my early 20’s and we never saw morbid obesity in the elderly. Anybody over 500 lbs died before they turned 30 also.
Nurse here and I agree! The obese died by their 50s/60s...kind of the same thing with alcoholics too. They usually tap out their livers and begin to die between the 40s-60s depending on how much they drank. If you get to the menopause/andropause age and aren't taking care of your body by then...your body is ready to show you it isn't appreciating you not doing so!
At first I was really confused why Tom you seemed so egar to get detailed answers on specific questions in regards to nutrition and calories but you insist on bringing on medical doctors who can't answer them instead of the many nutritional scientists who easily can...( Layne Norton, Alan Aragon) you don't seem to have an understanding of the difference between calories as a unit of measure and calories in vs calories out. It's also clear after watching this that you don't understand the TEF of food and its role. What's become clear is that you aren't actually looking for the right answer you are looking for someone to help you reinforce your bias ideology of what you want to be right and this doctor actually tries to even point that out without pointing it out.
😮
No buying into Dr Li on that fat is ok for longevity into 80 and 90s. He says sumo wrestlers are very healthy when examined but they are very young adn if stay at that weight into 50 to 70s will die much younger than average. As mentioned in video Fat storage evolved because much over past million yrs had periods where nothing to eat so fat vital for energy and survival. But today not so much with food everywhere 24/7. My mother in nursing home for last several yrs of life and ages in home from 60 to over 100. All those in late 80 and 90s not close to obese and more thin. I think dr. Li might mention fat is ok as most of population in usa is near or above obese so better to keep all happy so to maybe buy his book. Today more research published on obese people with health issue from fat - this link below. Dr mentioned u can cut 75% of liver out and then to have liver grow back to same size. Tom had good questions on this that Dr having not a good answer - this if have liver disease with scaring and say cut 75% liver out then why not have 75% grow back as mostly good liver cells. The diseased liver to have at least some good cells so why not these good liver stem cells to produce the new 75% liver good cells. Yes some scarring to remain in the 25% but still why not much of 75% with good setup? Not good answer by doctor on this.
