It's great that a MD thinks about looking at lifestyle and the way of eating before prescribing medication. We need more doctors who take this approach. Thanks for this interview.
Definitely! It also occurs to me that it may well be a best practice to not only educate well prior to disease presentation but also to consider the applicability of initial medication prescription designed at the time of prescription to be quite temporary while also requiring dietary and exercise protocols designed to remove symptom presentation over long term.
The fact that people do any diet just for weight loss and not specifically for health always boggles my mind. You should always eat for health, weight loss is just a plus. People worry more about what they look like than what they feel like and thats sad.
I do follow mostly paleo diet, but I cant stand the idea it is promoted as what our ancestors ate. Im pretty sure it wasnt avocados and I often see things like broccoli as well which is cultivated man created crop, like almost every vegetable these days and Im also pretty sure they knew how to extract milk from lactating animals they hunted and did not let it drip away. Nearly all tribes still existing these days use fermented dairy as an important part of their diet. So my diet includes fermented dairy. I think most ingredients of the neolithic diet dont exist anymore, except for meat and fish. In my opinion a paleo diet is a diet from whole locally sourced and seasonal ingredients no additives and I allow myself to eat small amounts of organic ancient grains and barley. The focus is on proteins and fats.
Your comment made me wonder if there is such a thing as a Pastoralist Diet. Just in case you are not familiar, after the Hunter/Gatherer phase was the Agriculturalist and Pastoralist phase. The agriculturalists were the city dwelling grain eaters and the pastoralists were the migratory people usually on the plains, such as the Scythians, Mongols, and Plains Indians. One of the cycles of history was a pastoralist people conquering a city people, settling to become city people, but then conquered by the next group of pastoralists. I would guess a Pastoralist diet would likely be Paleo plus dairy. Foods like kefir, cheese, and yogurt come from Eurasian pastoralist groups.
Same! I've done paleo for 15 years, and it's clearly not what our ancestors were eating. These things no longer exist. People get stuck on this point and write it off. It's been a simple and effective way to keep well for years!
@@daniellogan-scott5968 that is interesting stuff, thank you for sharing. I do not feel like I want to follow a certain diet, paleo just comes closest, but in the end I eat wht I feel like is good for my body and I emphasize on how ancient people used to feed themselves. I love how many European countries still hold true to many centuries old recipies of which we cant know how old they are. But definitely it is not like the crap they feed us with in these days. I do sin sometimes to eat garbage just to remind myself this is not how we nourish ourselves.
That's fascinating to me! To what do you attribute that? Do you believe that you can isolate the precise, active content difference and the mechanism of action?
Betaine hcl with pepsin reversed my gastroparesis. I strongly believe gastroparesis is caused by lack of stomach acid and weak pyloric sphincter, which go hand in hand.
I was having issues with wheat and I went to a GI doctor who promptly tested me for celiac disease. What they don't tell you is if you have been avoiding wheat because it makes you sick your blood test will very likely show negative for celiac. My test came back negative and the doctor absolutely told me to stop avoiding wheat because it is healthy and you NEED it in your diet. The only people who should be avoiding wheat are celiacs. I suffered for more than 10 years forcing myself to eat wheat because they convinced me I had to. Just a few years ago they retested me and did a biopsy, lo and behold... I have celiac disease! 🤬 Moral of the story: first of all, tests can be wrong and commonly are! And most importantly, if a food is making you sick do not let anybody bully you into eating it! 🤬 I now have years and years worth of damage to my stomach which is taking forever to heal because of that.
@@drrajsree Thank you so much! I have been 3 years of completely grain-free and eat almost entirely meat and produce because I can guarantee it is not contaminated and my entire life has changed! I am healthier than I have been since I was a child and no longer suffer malnutrition which is ironic, because they insist if you avoid whole food groups like I do you will become malnourished and here we are! 😁👏
This is a great and timely video. Wonderful questions with thoughtful and helpful answers. I love she looks at the root causes and that every person is different, it's not the one size fits all! I've been suffering from some symptoms of gluten. So I had started (yesterday) an elimination diet even though my eggs are pastured and mot fed GMO corn or soy and my milk is raw A2 and I make actual sourdough bread...I am backing off of all of that si my gut can heal. Then I'll start reintroducing.
@@dcshewrn After Dr Atkins passed away, so many very similar diets became popular like South Beach, etc. I think Paleo is very similar to his diet. Atkins does introduce carbs as you succeed through the process. Limiting Dairy seems silly if you’re going to eat meat anyway. It’s about sustainability. Anyway, it’s just my opinion. ✌️
Very competent interview partner again, best greetings from Vienna! I'll try to aim for paleo + dairy, if the milk is bio and not or only minimal pasteurised/homogenised, or yoghurts like Greek, Kefir, Skyr for a healthy gut flora and protein source. This approach feels to be superior for people with no lactose intolerance, no?
Yes many people tolerate Kefir and high quality cheeses just fine. Sometimes the initial trial of dairy-free is to heal the gut, and then it can sometimes be reintroduced. Thanks for watching and great to hear from you in Vienna!
Id be interested to know, though i think subconsciously i already do...what does longterm gluten sensitivity do to the body. My husband after observation has gluten sensitivity, everytime he eats bread, pasta, wheat based products, after 20+ minutes he gets congested sinuses, starts coughing, post nasal drip, sounds like hes got the flu, even starting this last year vomitting in his sleep. He refuses to stop eating the food thats causing his sensitivity as hes italian (but we live in New Zealand) Its pretty much his whole diet as he hates most foods i.e neat and veges. Prefers pizza, pasta and anything inflammatory 🤦
That's so crazy, I mean the different kind of perspectives, If you look at" bread" you have a large US consens it's bad and in addition the whole "whole grains" narrative is also kinda 'demonized'. If you take that to Europe and in my case to Germany, we have a totally different perspective on that, we believe bread is good aaaaand especially "whole grains" are super good, because it is more nutrients dense than just white wheat flower bread, we eat bread and different bread-products all day.
The typical paleo diet focuses on naturally raised meat and fish, as well as vegetables and fruits. It promotes avoiding dairy products and grains. This diet can put you at risk for deficiencies in calcium and vitamin D, which are critical to bone health.
Hunting and Gathering are absent from our modern societies. We just walk to the mall. That makes PALEO dangerous for modern humans. We are almost COMPLETELY inactive, the VERY thing that got us obese in the first instance.
I never want to hear, “That’s a great question” as a response to a question, ever again in my life. Forever and ever. Until infinity. +Infinity. + a Googolplex.
We need more doctors like her to get to the root of the problem. Not doctors that make their patients take 20 different medications and never fix the problem
The problem with the Paleo diet is 99% of fruits and vegetables of today are nothing alike the ones humans had access to back in the day. All of them had significant less starch and sugars, they were also a lot smaller and hard to find in abundance. To a point where getting enough of them in the wild to make humans burn carbs for energy daily would be impossible. Even seeds and nuts, these were at best snacks that humans ate in between hunting or fishing. The Paleo diet has very little in common with the food humans ate in the Palaeolithic period. Meat, fish and seafood kept Homo Sapiens and Neanderthals alive and thriving, and they were the central part in the evolution of our brain when Homo Erectus (2.4 millions years ago) started hunting and cooking meat. Unfortunately we do not know the exact ratio of protein to fat to carbs humans ate 200.000 years ago, but it is pretty much guaranteed that carbs played an almost insignificant role in keeping humans surviving.
@LionHeartInTheWild if we ate more meat, less vegetables and no grains. Then more farmers would be encouraged to take up raising cattle. With more cattle farmers, that would increase the percentage of farmers willing to adopt organic cattle farming. Then the price of organically raised meat, eggs and dairy would come down, and make it more affordable. Lucky for me I live in the UK. We have much tighter laws protecting the consumer from big food corporations.
@@Paul-Weston The Paleolithic Era dates from around 2.5 million to 10,000 years ago. There where no farmers. A paleo diet includes fruits, vegetables, lean meats, fish, eggs, nuts and seeds. The point is: We live in a different world. It is ridiculous to claim eating like a million years ago while going to a supermarket.. 😂

That would be "paleo"
Only if they're organic, pasture-raised, grass-fed, hormone-free, antibiotic-free dogs and cats.

What if you only avoid grains ?
