Good question- I love reading the advanced studies using insulin levels. To get a good reading they check it 3 - 4 times in a 30 min setting … When I try to translate that into the clinic setting, many flaws show up. The insulin is very volatile. It should be checked without getting out of bed - first thing in the morning… not possible for patients to do that. Instead, I use fasting glucose with a fasting ketone. I have the patient check FIRST THING in the morning. Several days of this (at a fraction of the cost of one fasting laboratory insulin) teaches me & the patient far more. Again … wise question. Thank you for asking.
@DoctorBoz it's crazy that many labs don't don't do glucose/ insulin simultaneously. I've literally had to search for my NP (office was unsuccessful) and ended up requesting Labcore to run a GTT and Insulin panel x3. Sadly, there's no code for a draw x4 so I'm stuck with a 3x draw. At least I have a better idea.
Congratulations Dr. Bosworth! As Board Certified Cardiovascular Surgeon I am glad that you provide this excellent information (and explanations) to the public!
Hey Dr. Boz, not sure if you read comments, but your videos are a lifesaver. I tried your 72-hour sardine challenge, and the effects were almost immediate. 35 hours in, I woke up and my vision was so clear, sharp, and bright. And the best part? That annoying floater in my left eye was gone! It had been bugging me for a while, but when I looked for it, it was just... gone! I'm so happy. God bless you.
Thank you for sharing the comparison table, Doctor! I’m curious to know more about how the LPIR score is calculated and the associated cost of performing the test.

@basstheangelo Yes fasting is an additional benefit but what does one do when they're very thin already (like 10% body fat) & is trying to stay healthy on keto but can't afford to lose weight? Not sure fasting would be the right strategy to use...
@ long fast (18 hours or longer) isn’t just about losing weight. It’s mostly an immune system reset and autophagy. It breaks down damaged and unwanted cells. The process helps in cellular cleansing.
@@cc2020-d4w try doing OMAD (one meal a day). Select the most convenient time to consume all your calories. Do it in just an hour window. After that meal no calories for the next 23 hours. You eat again in the 24th hour. That’s what I do. Make sure you consume no calories for 23 hours straight.
Thank you, Dr. Boz for this very informative video. You are teaching science that nobody knows. This info is untraditional in figuring out the major risk factors and predictors of a heart attack . Thank you very much. Keep up the wonderful job, Dr. Boz.❤❤❤
So, my insulin resistance score was less than 25. I also get my fasting insulin checked every so often along with C-Peptide . They are 3.3 and 1.0 respectively. Keto for about a year and a half. I am a LMHR. TC 390 LDL 280. TRIGS 84, HDL 84, CRP-HS .6. A1C 5.4. I am 76 yo. and living my best life.
Blood pressure at home: 105/65 At the doctors office it was 121/72 because I had been walking for 90 minutes in 12 F wind chill and then I had to climb steps up to the exam room - oh and no time to rest and nothing to rest the arm on at heart level. 😐 Total: 366 Trigs: 40 HDL: 114 LDL: 244 Weight:117 BMI: 20.1 I am a LMHR at 52 y/o. I do a lot of walking. And my resting heart rate is 55.
I would love the blood pressure part explained. I’m not doubting it. We all agree that lifting weights plus HIIT training is good for us but for that whole time our blood pressure rises dramatically. Yes I understand that the exercise lowers the resting blood pressure but I still can’t quite line up how the massively elevated exercise pressures are not more detrimental. I don’t want them to be as I exercise every day but it still doesn’t make perfect sense to me.
@ yes I’m sure it is. But that isn’t really relevant to the fit and healthy trained person. Of course I’m guessing because I have no data in front of me but logically those that are having heart attacks in those circumstances are your average overweight Joe or Jane doing work far beyond his or her fitness level.
@@royc2390 Do you think anyone has ever done a study to see the risk ratio related to ‘average’ blood pressure (as in a persons average for the day, taking in spikes and troughs) rather than resting blood pressure?
@@stevemc2626 That is a very good question that I'd like to know also. I've never seen anything like that yet. If I ever come across such a thing, I'll come back here and post to you.
Dr. Ken Berry would not put that BP as too high. 130/85 is okay according to him. The difficulty with a one-size-fits-all number is that the bigger you are the more pressure you need to get the blood round. And the older you get the more you need.
I just received my blood test results. My cholesterol was 345. There was a note informing me that my cholesterol was “dangerously high.” I have yet to talk to my doctor about it. I feel somewhat anxious about this result, but unless I learn differently, I will continue to stick to my strict OMAD carnivore, no carb diet. My A1C was 5.5. I’m a 57 year old male. I feel better after watching your videos.
Nothing beats OMAD carnivore diet. I'm on OMAD Keto right now and I'm about to transition to OMAD carnivore. Every number on my lab test are normal. They're all perfect. I'm 42.
Total cholesterol means little. You want to know LPa and triglycerides. Also your A1C still too high. Should be closer to 5. Have you taken an OGT test?
DR Boz I very much appreciate the information that you share consistently. Where can I get a copy of this risk table? There are so many people on low carb discussion groups talking about their lipid profiles and I would really like to be able to discuss lipids and risk intelligently
Hi Dr. boz, firstly, I love your videos. Keep them coming. Something unusual has happened with my fasting insulin levels over the last few months. About 6 months ago, my fasting insulin level was 9.0. I started doing low-carb, ketogenic diet to lower my triglycerides. After 3 months, my insulin level rose to 15, and now it has reached 18.8. How can insulin levels be going on up if I'm consuming very little carbs, and more importantly, how can I lower it again. Please let me know before I have a heart attack. Thanks.
This is very timely for me, as my dad just passed away this month from a blot clot to his intestines. So my question is: Does this information apply to ANY blot clot (stroke or to the intestines)? Thank you!
I'm 66 and have been on keto for about 10 years but with a move to probably 95% carnivore over the last couple. Feel great. All bloods, BMI, BP, etc very good right until my last recent blood test. Over the two years since my previous test, my Total cholesterol has gone from 200 to 440. Everything else still fine. My Dr said statins. I declined. I'm wondering if I'm now in the Lean Mass Hyper Responder category? If so, as I understand it, adding some carbs back should reduce the LDL (but with disadvantages too?). I know that LDL may not be an issue but..... perhaps a more 'balanced' diet may have more balanced results? I'm wary of changing from a diet that has really suited me just because of one aspect of a blood test (if I hadn't had it, I'd still be happy and relaxed) but.... I think I'll have an ApoB test to check particles.
Picking up on Fructose raisng Uric Acid! Im curious the home remedy of tart cherry claims to lower uric acid. My husband used to take it and swears by it. He no longer has gout because we've been on a ketovore diet for 3 years. Went on this diet due to TBI and needing better brain health for my husband. I know different topic but i love the breakout on labs. You're awesome Dr. Boz!
I have a question. I have heart disease. I have trouble staying on keto for more than a week before I cave in to my carb addiction. I have no problem with the idea of being on a sardine only fast for 30 days. Can I get a benefit if I am on a sardine fast for only 14 days? Can I add 2 eggs and 4 pickles a day to this regimen or do I have to stay sardine only for the entire time?
Serrapeptase knocks out several vascular and aortic inflammatory markers. Mechanistic studies demonstrated that SRP significantly inhibited the LPS-induced production of proinflammatory cytokines such as IL-2, IL-1, IL-6, and TNF-α in aortic tissue. Furthermore, it also inhibited LPS-induced oxidative stress in the aortas of mice, whereas the expression and activity of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) decreased after SRP treatment. In conclusion, SRP has the ability to reduce LPS-induced vascular inflammation and damage by modulating MCP-1.
Well, my uric acid is between 7 and 8, seems heriditary and taking blood pressure medication Olmesartane seems to rather push it up more. No idea, what more to do. Have been doing fasting 18:6 for years and fighting to keep my heart cleanb. No heart attack but 2 stents in my 50s. 13 Years ago. I can't eat a lot of meat, makes me physically sick. Eat porridge, lots of vegetables and salad, but also rice and potatoes. Eyveryone you talk to, you get different advice.
I very much appreciate your video, and I must say, this is ammunition I could use my next consultation with my doctor. However, I do have one issue with your spreadsheet. The light colored columns also have light colored numbers on them, making them unreadable for me, I simply cannot see them. The type of colorblindness I have (deutero-something) pertains to about 75% of all colorblinds. Could you amend the sheet to show dark colored numbers on light colored columns or maybe just all numbers dark colored? I would very much appreciate the effort. Obviously, not necessary to adapt the video, but I do wish I could import the sheet (the end result you show). Maybe in the comments? Thank you very much for making the video!
My red blood cells went from 5.3 to 5.9 and a1c from 5.3 to 5.5 on carnivore 6 months. Maybe it takes some time for your body to get used to that diet?
The range were the level of lp(a) is due to genetics is irrelevant for its role as an indiator, NOT a cause, of injuries of the endothelium. As in wounds to the skin, like in a cut, Lp(a) prevents blood clots from dissolving, and helps thus in wound healing. Lp(a) below the genetic threshold is a direct and one of the earliest indicators for plaque formation, long before CAC gets larger than even 0. If it is elevated in ANY way relative to the genetical baseline, it indicates injuries in a direct manner. And even with a unfavorable genetics: it is NOT the cause of CVD. Your 35 nmol is anything but normal, eg. my level is
I have a body mass scale which also tracks my cardiovascular health , the way it does that is by measuring small changes in my weight as my heart beats and using my height to calculate a pulse wave velocity which seems reasonable and my cardiovascular age has been stable at 60 years old and I will soon be 69 years old. I know this just tells me that I have no hardening or calcification of my arteries and that I could have soft plaque build up. It is assumed that we all begin to build up plaque as we get older so if that is true then I would see a hardening of my arteries and an increase in my pulse wave velocity over time but so far it has been stable. I am on a low carb diet and I have a normal BMI and waist circumference also normal blood pressure but I no longer test my blood sugar every morning now I just keep to my diet.
After being low carb for a year l lost 40 lbs, now normal weight, normal A1C but l know my cholesterol could go up but why did my triglycerides go up also? That worries me very much. I also haven’t had any alcohol in a year.
Wow. That's very interesting. I thought triglycerides were tied to carb intake - the lower the carbs and sugar the lower triglycerides. But everyone's body is different. I've been on a PCSK9 inhibitor for the past year (history of high cholesterol and a stent three years ago) and my triglycerides have consistently been in the mid 20's. However, I've decided to come off of it for 60 days and will be running an NMR to see what happens to my cholesterol and triglyceride numbers. I've been low carb over the course of time I've also been on the PCSK9 inhibitor.
your triglycerides go up because your body is burning fat for energy if you are in a deficit, and the saturated fat stored in our body is broken down and taken TO the liver to be metabolised. If you are eating too much it's because the fat you eat is being taken to the liver for storage as saturated fat. you are eating too much carbohydrate or too much fat or both. exercise in zone two for a good amount of time will reduce it. but don't get a blood test soon after exercise... as the level are high after exercise. 40 minute walk daily and eating within your energy needs should keep them in the good range. too much fat, or carbs (energy overall) will raise them, exercise lowers them but only if it's aerobic (zone two)
@ l think l remember him saying that in the beginning your triglycerides can rise because of circulating out of the liver into bloodstream but my test where done a year later.
Wonderful explanation! Do all doctors know this? Or is it just that Dr Boz likes to dig deep? If they ALL know this information, and go no further than handing out a script for statins, isn’t that criminal negligence?
Before paying attention to Infuencers like Dr Boz I would ask her to provide the research studies that support her advice. Make sure you get your advice from reliable sources who can back up their claims.
Why don’t our clinics offer these tests at our annual exams? I’m 49, just had my annual, and all I got was a standard lipid panel screening and some other standard measurements.
@ funny, when I was in I said “Give me everything!” Thinking, anything that’s covered. I do think the average person knows about these tests….i have an idea. They should put kiosks in every clinic where you walk up, scan your insurance card, and pick from a menu all the tests available and their price. Omg now that I type that I guarantee we will see it pop up in clinics! I should patent that idea lol
Focusing solely on a woman’s appearance is disrespectful and dehumanizing. She’s not here to look pretty for anyone. She is a professional. She is a doctor. Her purpose is of something greater than to be objectified by you.
@@Larry-zv8li good lord what? I always see comments under Dr. Boz’s videos about her physical appearance and how sexy she looks or something of that nature and it’s just inappropriate. And only men are doing that. It’s dehumanizing and sick.
She has made it clear she likes being pretty as she has enhanced her natural beauty w makeup and at least one video on her own facial procedure. She is beautiful in mind, body, and spirit. Beauty is a Wonderful thing!!
I was part of the keto cult years ago before it was “cool”. The result was that my testosterone tanked and my sleep was horrific. My competitive running suffered. I went back to high carbs low fat and moderate protein and everything improved on all fronts. Blood work now normal and optimal running again. Saturated fat will cause your cells to block their insulin receptors causing insulin dysregulation. Been there with the keto cult. Never going back. Good luck to those stuck in this dreadful world
Well I’m the opposite. Followed the food pyramid quite strictly my whole life. I’ve always exercised a lot. My weight has never varied since school. Had a CAC scan at 50 and to my shock a positive score. So for me, low fat high carb was bad bad news.
@@stevemc2626I don’t follow the food pyramid because I never eat wheat or flour. However I do eat lots of green vegetables of all types. My carbs are lots of beans, lentils, berries, kiwi, quinoa and potato’s. I do eat lean beef and eggs and egg white. Great for me
@@AidinKthat’s because I’m extremely athletic and workout a lot. I move quite a bit throughout the day. The low saturated fat is a big reason my bloodwork is excellent. It’s not the carbs is the fat that gums up your insulin receptors. My insulin is doing its job. Carbs are not the enemy. It’s how you utilize them

I am on a low carb diet and I have a normal BMI and waist circumference also normal blood pressure but I no longer test my blood sugar every morning now I just keep to my diet.
How can I print that chart out?
If it's in the video, pause the video and take a print screen of it.
Is fasting insulin an important test?
After being low carb for a year l lost 40 lbs, now normal weight, normal A1C but l know my cholesterol could go up but why did my triglycerides go up also? That worries me very much. I also haven’t had any alcohol in a year.
Wow. That's very interesting. I thought triglycerides were tied to carb intake - the lower the carbs and sugar the lower triglycerides. But everyone's body is different. I've been on a PCSK9 inhibitor for the past year (history of high cholesterol and a stent three years ago) and my triglycerides have consistently been in the mid 20's. However, I've decided to come off of it for 60 days and will be running an NMR to see what happens to my cholesterol and triglyceride numbers. I've been low carb over the course of time I've also been on the PCSK9 inhibitor.
your triglycerides go up because your body is burning fat for energy if you are in a deficit, and the saturated fat stored in our body is broken down and taken TO the liver to be metabolised. If you are eating too much it's because the fat you eat is being taken to the liver for storage as saturated fat. you are eating too much carbohydrate or too much fat or both. exercise in zone two for a good amount of time will reduce it. but don't get a blood test soon after exercise... as the level are high after exercise. 40 minute walk daily and eating within your energy needs should keep them in the good range. too much fat, or carbs (energy overall) will raise them, exercise lowers them but only if it's aerobic (zone two)
This isn't unheard of. I forget the reasoning...I think Dr Cywes has a video on it
@ l think l remember him saying that in the beginning your triglycerides can rise because of circulating out of the liver into bloodstream but my test where done a year later.
No beer? Ok. Wine? Or is it something like drinking vodka straight only? I would love your opinion on this! Thank you so much!
I am in really good shape. Ride/ walk 7 days. Calcium score 0😊
Are there numbers for 55-65 age range?
Thank you for your layman's terms😮😊
Cut out sugar and dairy
Alcohol keeps a fire ant bite from forming a head, so would drinking alcohol do the same for your arteries?
Ha ha … nice theory … but nada on the science part of that thinking
Well it was worth a try anyway!
love your nada wo
rd ,Cheers from Argentina@@DoctorBoz
No beer.
Please, how much is less beer? 🍺🙏
Smoking!
Sugar=insulin resistance=stroke.
and i thought it was chain smoking
lol - that’s the unspoken “given.”
Unsubstantiated claims, zero reference links. But a ton of links to sell stuff.
Keto propaganda.
Wonderful explanation!
Do all doctors know this? Or is it just that Dr Boz likes to dig deep?
If they ALL know this information, and go no further than handing out a script for statins, isn’t that criminal negligence?
I think I'm eating too much cheese lol.
Less beer ?
Why are people abandoning looking at LDL Cholesterol? Hmm, I have the exact same blood pressure that you have
Hopefully they are finally starting to understand that LDL is not the cause of atherosclerosis.
Wow. What a woman
Thumbs up🎉
According to Dr. Paul Mason iirc, 5% of carnivores have elevated A1C, possibly due to red blood cells living longer (healthier)

Before paying attention to Infuencers like Dr Boz I would ask her to provide the research studies that support her advice. Make sure you get your advice from reliable sources who can back up their claims.
You may have probably heard of her book where you could find hundred of references
If you don't like her advice, stop watching the videos.
there are others out there who just Include the refs in the video notes instead of loads of merch. just another sales person sadly
Again, you are confusing association with causation. Why not just go measure the *actual* disease with a CAC or a CT scan???
🌹💚
Less beer? Heretic!
So all these cardio chart gymnatic dynamics and then you get lung cancer. 😅
Why don’t our clinics offer these tests at our annual exams? I’m 49, just had my annual, and all I got was a standard lipid panel screening and some other standard measurements.
Some you have to ask for… for example, LPa, and they will do it and cover … but many docs will not proactively offer
@ funny, when I was in I said “Give me everything!” Thinking, anything that’s covered. I do think the average person knows about these tests….i have an idea. They should put kiosks in every clinic where you walk up, scan your insurance card, and pick from a menu all the tests available and their price. Omg now that I type that I guarantee we will see it pop up in clinics! I should patent that idea lol
Are Christians rational? If you believe Genesis is factual you’re living in fantasy land.
LESS BEER?!?! Uffdah!
Now life isn't worth living.😭
😝😜😉
Uh-oh. My lp(a) is 188.
Not good
YOU LOOK SO MUCH PRETTIER AS YOU ARE IN THIS VIDEO.
Focusing solely on a woman’s appearance is disrespectful and dehumanizing. She’s not here to look pretty for anyone. She is a professional. She is a doctor. Her purpose is of something greater than to be objectified by you.
@@Sjj827 good lord
@@Larry-zv8li good lord what? I always see comments under Dr. Boz’s videos about her physical appearance and how sexy she looks or something of that nature and it’s just inappropriate. And only men are doing that. It’s dehumanizing and sick.
She has made it clear she likes being pretty as she has enhanced her natural beauty w makeup and at least one video on her own facial procedure. She is beautiful in mind, body, and spirit. Beauty is a Wonderful thing!!
@@SandraWhitaker-vs2tm and who invited you to the conversation?
I was part of the keto cult years ago before it was “cool”. The result was that my testosterone tanked and my sleep was horrific. My competitive running suffered. I went back to high carbs low fat and moderate protein and everything improved on all fronts. Blood work now normal and optimal running again. Saturated fat will cause your cells to block their insulin receptors causing insulin dysregulation. Been there with the keto cult. Never going back. Good luck to those stuck in this dreadful world
Well I’m the opposite. Followed the food pyramid quite strictly my whole life. I’ve always exercised a lot. My weight has never varied since school. Had a CAC scan at 50 and to my shock a positive score. So for me, low fat high carb was bad bad news.
@@stevemc2626I don’t follow the food pyramid because I never eat wheat or flour. However I do eat lots of green vegetables of all types. My carbs are lots of beans, lentils, berries, kiwi, quinoa and potato’s. I do eat lean beef and eggs and egg white. Great for me
I’m quite surprised to see someone beating the odds of high-carb diet and having normal blood work.
@@AidinKthat’s because I’m extremely athletic and workout a lot. I move quite a bit throughout the day. The low saturated fat is a big reason my bloodwork is excellent. It’s not the carbs is the fat that gums up your insulin receptors. My insulin is doing its job. Carbs are not the enemy. It’s how you utilize them
I was in keto for over 5 years too and I think it's good for a season. Everything in balance I think.
