Another great and informative video from two really great doctors. Many thanks
love your program!!!! please keep it coming!! love to you both from sunny southern California
Thank you! Will do!
Good video, The LDL angle interests me. Thanks Docs!
Welcome!
Flaxseed taken with Fish Oil works great for dry eye syndrome.
Good to know!
Thank you for this.
Thanks I have I have dry eye syndrome.
Thank you. I've had dry eye syndrome & Restasis is not working.
And great for your hair
So great. You guys are so great. Thanks for another one❤️❤️
Our pleasure!
You guys are awesome! I have been considering flax seed. I will ask my doctor about it when I see her.
You should! So many benefits
This video came at a right time. I just started ground flax seed and beet root to see if it lowered my blood pressure. Along with eating better and exercising. Will report back in 30’days.
Yes it has been shown to help. We have a video about this!
Dude what's your results finally??
@@zambisabianus8245 it worked. 122/89 was over 135/90
Thanks Docs for the information and jokes.
I have been taking ground flaxseeds for years as recommended by a Gastroenterologist to help my IBS. More recently I have been having a combination of ground flaxseeds, pumpkin and sunflower seeds.My LDL has been low for the past few years. I think my diet might have contributed to the low LDL.
I buy whole flaxseed and grind it myself, some time with almond and pumpkinseeds. I only make enough for two or three days, and take a tablespoonful of this ground seeds with yogurt or on salads.
Perfect
Yogurt? I do believe you’ve just given me a new way to eat it. I too ground them at time of usage, but it’s only with my daily oatmeal. Thanks..
I have 1-2 tablespoons of ground flaxseed almost everyday either in oatmeal or in a protein smoothie for heart health and to help lower my cholesterol.
Perfect
Thank you as always for the concise info.
One suggestion, Dr. Zalzal's microphone was pointing over his shoulder away from his mouth. It made his speech a little muffled which might be a little harder to understand for people with degraded hearing.
Thanks for the feedback Edward
Four tablespoons a day for 12 years and it didnt lower my T. I grind my flaxseed before consuming in a blended vegetable drink.
Awesome
I wonder why we don't get addicted to foods that are good for us? I eat all the good stuff but still crave the bad stuff.
Great point.
Flaxseed is also supposed to help in lowering hypertension, blood pressure.
It sure does. We have a video about that. Also beets and beetroot juice
I don't care. I am a girl. Plus, flaxseed does not absorb well. You need flaxseed meal! It has lowered my systolic bp by almost 10 points.
That's what they said, taken in the 'ground up' form, which is flax meal.
That's why we said you have to grind it.
What about flax seed oil???
@@jonathanjohnson3846 The oil is more concentrated in the alpha-linolenic acid. Omega 3, and needs to be cold pressed organic. Organic Flax seeds may have more health benefits from the soluble fiber, vitamins, nutrients. If taking the flax seed, its better to buy the whole seed and grind it in small quantities. I buy the whole organic, store in the fridge, and use a coffee / spice grinder to grind enough for a couple days, and store in the fridge in a thick freezer bag. Once ground the meal starts to oxidize rapidly. Also if taking medications always check for drug interactions.
Girls need testosterone too.
I love your angle on the medical world... Serious question here; I would like to ear from you guys on the effects of Statin on the production of Testosterone...
Recent review 2024 showed it does reduce T but not enough to drop below normal level
Great video. I like the lifestyle and diet advice topics. How about cinnamon for blood sugar control as a topic? Or another - medicinal mushroom powder for health?
Both are great. Food is so powerful. Will add to the list
PLEASE do a video on what we can take over the counter to raise our T. Is the an OTC T test we can take? What should our T be?
I take flax seeds everey day; add them to my morning smoothy, and also sprinkle them over my meales (dinner)- an easy way to consume a couple of spoons a day. Paul, start taking them ;)
I consume flax seed everyday, (30g) with oatmeal, for a long time. No none issues from this 54 year old guy.
Thanks Docs. Dr Weening, do you grind the flax seed and then eat it?
Nope. We buy it already ground. But yes it needs to be ground.
I use ground organic flaxseed as a part of my breakfast every day mainly to help get those fiber grams we need. When it comes to testosterone and prostate cancer, I'd refer you to University of Chicago's Dr. Edward Friedman who IMO is the best SME on the topic. His work in the field is extensive and he might be a good guest for you to have at some point.
My mom ate ground flaxseed every morning with her oatmeal and blueberries. She is in her nineties.
I eat it with my oatmeal every day and have for years. The only thing that seems to have lowered my libido are anti-seizure meds. A video on those would be most welcome.
Yes meds are a problem
Thanks for the video. Right about a low fat diet can lower testosterone. I'm hearing more on YT about how we need more animal saturated fat for good testosterone levels. Also hearing that saturated fat does not cause heart disease and that high LDL is nothing to be concerned about in relation to bad cholesterol.
So yes low fat diet. We would fundamentally disagree that saturated fat is good for you and that we need more animal fat. Simply not true or supported by scientific research but rather propagated by influencers who support the keto or carnivore diet and animal agriculture lobby groups. Don't be fooled
@@TalkingWithDocs Thanks for your reply and information. I will take that onboard. Regards.
I eat 3 teaspoons of ground flax every morning. I feel the same, but my lab results at my annual check-ups look much better.
Perfect
What you guys think about doing a video on the best natural ways to raise testosterone ?
Thanks
Coming soon! Like filming it tomorrow morning!
@@TalkingWithDocs Haha, nice. Looking forward to it. Appreciate it.
Why didn't you mention that flaxseed lowers your blood pressure in this video? You made another video where you said it did and I am taking flexseed oil pills because of that. Oh, and my blood pressure has lowered ... though I can only guess it is due to flaxseed.
Yes it sure does Jack. It was mostly about not lowering your T but you are 100 percent correct. Glad it has helped!
Dr Weening where do you buy this ground flaxseed? In the health food store?
Available in most grocery and health food stores. We happen to buy ours at Costco
Dr. Weening you eluded you take flaxseed. Your statement reflected you may be taking it in supplement form. Could you elaborate how you take flaxseed? Thank you!
We take it in a ground form in yogurt or a smoothie or sometimes in baking.
Hey Paul can you ask Brad whether his bloods are ok when he doesn't eat a normal diet and is it healthy to eat that way thanks regards Rob
Bloods are perfect. Just needs to be balanced and thoughtful for sure
Kinda off the subject but
Canada grows. LOTS of flax
Nothing prettier than a sea of blue when it blooms!!
Very cool!
Is Low T gel dangerous ?
💪 20: 45
I get gut issues from flax seeds.
Sesam works better for me, also the taste.
Good to know!
@@TalkingWithDocs
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_sesame
SESAM OPEN !
😁👍
😉
My husband flaxseed meal every day and he loves it. He's super healthy. I think Dr. Zalzal should try it. 😊
He sure should!
I'm taking a flaxseed supplement to lower my ldl but am also on TRT. I was ready to throw away my flaxseed when I read the title.
Don't!!!!
I add a tablespoon of ground flaxseed to my morning oatmeal. My husband is being treated for heart failure. His cardiologist told him to stop the flaxseed because it lowers blood pressure.
Yes that is one of the benefits. Unless you have low blood pressure. Hope your husband is ok
Do chia seeds lower blood pressure also?
Thanks a lot ,I eat every day and it is really wonderful it makes you healthy ❤.
It sure does. Welcome
Thank you very much for your kindness ❤️
Hi Docs I know it's not today's topic I could really do with your advice I had my tibia fibia weber c operation 23rd March since having that done the day after I started having the most painful debilitating excruciating pain in my thigh I wondering if it's nerve related I feel it come on in tingling feeling then it explodes into the most pain I've ever experienced the numbers that iwas given are not answering in orthopaedic and if leaving a message they are not getting back to me I just don't know what to do 😢 thankyou in advance Janet Jones
Sorry to hear this. It is hard t say but could be nerve pain. Could be from the tourniquet that they likely used during the operation. Less likely a complication related to a spinal anesthetic or nerve block. It will likely resolve with time but if concerned walk in clinic, ER or your GP. Best of luck
Thank you so much you are the best 👌 I did have spinal injection for operation and as soon as can after the easter holidays I will get in touch with my GP thankyou for reassuring me Janet Jones 😊
Best to grind the flax seeds
Yes we actually mention that in the video. How come no one watches to the end?
Oh BOY did you just brand yourself Dr. Z! 😂 Doc low T. Hey, sounds like a rapper! 😅
🤣
You think Dad Jokes are bad - wait'll you hear Dad Rapping!
I've gotten the actual flaxseed and ground them myself. Is there any advantage of doing this? The ground flaxseed can be added to food you prepare and the other is just a pill that you take.
A lot of places with bulk food have the flaxseed you can grind. It's easily used in cooking or baking or even mixed in drinks.
Are pills as effective? Or does it matter?
There's some great benefits from ingesting flaxseed!
Nice work. Not sure if grinding your own is better but needs to be grown. Also we assume ground is better than the pills. Thanks for sharing!
I was told we are to eat ground flax seed because our bodies can not digest the whole flax seed. Thus it just passes through our intestines undigested and we don’t get all the benefits of it.
OK, now how to RAISE Testosterone? I suffer from Monorchism, an undescended testicle surgery gone wrong. What can help me please? I'm in my late thirties.
Thanks
We have some videos coming out about this. Short answer is lose weight if heavy , HIIT or resistance training, get good sleep , reduce stress where possible, and limit alcohol. Consider TRT if measured levels are low
I wish! Maybe it would get rid of my post-menopausal moustache.
Oh man
You want a reason to avoid or at least limit intake of flax seed = Hydrocyanic acid!
Since the good doctors didn't mention this, I wonder if it's because they didn't know about it? 🤔😉
There is no reliable evidence that the amount of cyanide in flax seed can get to a toxic level in humans even with exaggerated consumption. Studies have tested this
@@TalkingWithDocs Hmm...my first(long) reply seems to be missing.
But in short, the FDA in Europe seems to disagree with your assessment and warns about consuming more than 25grams a day of flaxseed. And that's equal to 2,5 tablespoon. Just thought your audience/viewers might like to know! 😉
Please suggest best way to take flaxceeds
Ground flax. Add to smoothie, yogurt, cereal.
How much should we take per day? 😊
2-3 tablespoons
Hello gentlemen, I eat all the seeds you chaps have recommended . I am 81 it is a miracle i feel good I whistle constantly I no longer have sex, woman find my obsession with seeds disturbing, there are more reasons of course like the recent inabilty to have an erection. I mean there are other things like disgussing books. Perhaps books about seeds. Love your vids keep it up I save trips to a doctor with your info, Thanks, Regards, James Victoria BC.
Welcome James. There are lots of treatments for ED. May be worth a chat with your doctor
Can you have a neurosurgeon discuss adults with encephalomalacia and gliosis sometime? I know there is no cure & can’t be reversed, but I heard there is a surgery that can be done if they find the underlying cause or even something to the softening tissue. I’m assuming to help symptoms or prolong life? Idk. And my neurologist is just focused on my encephalomalacia and sending me to a Neuropsychologist (I was like I see a psychiatrist. She said they are not regular psychologists & that they treat people with traumatic brain injuries, strokes, Parkinson’s and so forth). But I have other brain issues that I’ve had surgery for. It’s a long story.
We will work on getting one. Best of luck
@@TalkingWithDocs Thank you! ❤️
Kinda off topic, but try black seed oil.
@@anonanon2712 yeh my question is off topic, but they have said in the past if we have any suggestions on topics to just let them know. This is the only place I could do it. On their recent video
hey docs please talk about the recent study published related to intermittent fasting causing heart problems 🥲
My man-boobs are a pretty good sign of low-t. But my cardiologist has recommended against supplemental testosterone because of possible cardiac side effects. So I’ll just have to get used to the guys whistling at me on the street (obviously kidding about the last sentence, but the rest is true)
Oh man.
Ever since I started eating flaxseeds I started reading romance novels and watching soap operas!
🤣😂😂
Oh wow
😂🎉
Lol
Seriously! They call me "Low T".
🤣
Soy is
Dr Brad ! You said you and your wife take flaxseed 😅 I honestly thought you were gay 😊😅 you’re so funny and cool ❤😊
I mix it in my morning oatmeal. Now I know why I don't look like a body builder..It's been the flaxseed all along! wink wink
Yeah dog!
If that’s true America must be putting flax seed powder in all our water systems now 🎉
It's actually very good for you. But doesn't affect your T
Flax has more omega3 than fish
It is an excellent source of omega 3s. Algae probably the best source
@@TalkingWithDocs Yes plus the bonus is that it has lots of Iodine if the big bombs go off!
I’ve been eating flax for a few years without any noticeable affect upon my sexual desire or performance
Nice
You guys are too much. I live in Englewood Ohio. I wish you were my doctor (either one).
Thanks so much William. Very kind. We do our best
Whole flax seeds do not digest.
Nope. If you watched the whole video you would know we said you have to eat ground flax seed. But thanks for the comment anyway
What test(s) will tell me my level of testosterone?
Typically blood levels done before noon two separate times
The way I see it, the extra fat in guys’ beer bellies kills their testosterone more so than anything else they can eat 😂
Carrying extra weight certainly is something that leads to lower T
@@TalkingWithDocs On a related subject - most men suffering from mild Gynecomastia (aka man boob) should also look into if obesity is contributing to the condition, instead of taking the easy routes of blaming soy or plastic food containers. Men who are afraid of elevated estrogen levels should see excess fat as their #1 enemy.
It was very difficult to concentrate from this waving of hands, I was expecting one of you two at any moment to fly away..
Maybe our channel isn't for you. All the best
So much blabbering before the point of the video
Nope 2nd won was a boy so mine's just fine, yes women have some, if we didn't we couldn't have made you!
Yes!
I’ll edge an hour every like this gets
Pin
Ok!
I LIKE TO BOIL IN WATER AND DRINK LIKE PORRIDGE 😋🤤
Man? What is that in woke language; how do you define 'man'? How about flaxseed? 😀
Yes it's tricky!
4.5 minutes of blather to answer your own question. ‘No, it doesn’t’
So negative. Maybe our channel isn't for you glen. All the best.
