I'm a PT and patients ask me all the time about keto / low carb. I tell them all the success I had 13 years ago when I was fat, 100 lb heavier 18 year old in high school and discovered low carb. I've been doing keto / low carb since and kept it all off
Sure miss Ya Doctor! Wish The clinic hadn't burned down. Now You're in Nashville I guess. Well Thanks to You I have just gone over 1 year smoke free! Unfortunately When I quit I also quit My Keto/ Paleo diet. I had lost 85 lbs and was feeling great ( Thanks to YOU ). I need to get back on It now That The hard part of quitting smoking is behind Me. Everyone This Doctor IS The real deal! Good luck in Your future projects Doctor! We miss You Here in Benton County!
I sent this out to several men I care about. Also advised them to make tea from nettle root to help stabilize testosterone levels by blocking an enzyme that breaks it down. Thanks to Dr. Berry for all the good work and caring and sharing.
Dr Berry, I'm impressed at how you show the relationship between our diet and how it affects our physical health, and you break it down so easily that even a child can understand, not only in this video but in all of your videos. Thank you for caring, Doctor☺️God bless you and your family.
@@KenDBerryMD trust me Doc I am!!! I'm absolutely amazed @ how good my skin is looking. After over 30 year's of dealing with psoriasis. Again thank you so much!!!

Now the patches are changing into my skin color & slowly going away. My skin is soft & smooth. Please Don't give up. My dermatologist said psoriasis on the hands is the hardest to clear up.

@@evantheterrible7448 Thanks for your helpful advice!! You have had a much more dramatic problem than I, but it's not fun having hands that hurt and you can't do a lot of things. I will keep plugging away at this!
I find this all a bit confusing now as a number of high profile Carnivore proponents (low carb) have shown to have very low Free testosterone available. I tried it for about 6 months & my sex drive tanked as did my energy. I also now see that some of these proponents are now adding back in some carbs in the form of honey or sweet potato etc. However this is something you recommend to avoid. No wonder we're all confused about nutrition !
Been nice if you'd have listed the 5. I'm not exactly sure I've got 'em, but here is my recap and helpful cliff notes for those who don't want to listen to the entire presentation: 1. No grains or soy 2. Eat high fat / do not eat "low fat" or "no fat" foods 3. Fast 18 to 22 hours or even up to 3 days. ( as a natural healthcare practitioner, I caution you to do a fast this long under supervision. I personally went into a semi-coma at the end of the 1st day on a juice fast about 18 years ago when I had no idea what I was doing. I can't do water fasts either) so, his point is, do not snack and/or eat all day long. Eat once and wait as long as you can before your next meal......like 8, 12, 18 or even 22 hours. 4. No sugar or sweets, not even honey or agave. 5. Nothing from plastics. When they are stored and/or cooked in ANY kind if plastic that you heat or gets hot (water in plastic bottles gets exposed to REALLY HIGH ENVIRONMENTAL heat in transpiration and the food or liquid in these containers absorb zenoestrogens.... the BAD estrogens related to cancer, excess abnormal body fat, diabetes, insulin resistance and low testosterone. Did I get everything correct?
I love how the Get avengers Dr. who talked crap about Keto showed up on my advertisement before your video. Grrr. Love your videos Dr. Berry. Also, there is a ton of hidden Soy even in eggs that aren’t soy/corn free. Animals often eat soy. It’s so hard to get rid of.
From personal experience, I know this is all true! I have dabbled with a keto diet off and on but now for the last several months I have been doing keto and intermittent fasting seriously without cheating at all and let me tell you... I don’t need a test to tell me that my testosterone levels have gone through the roof! Look out ladies here I...
This is was awesome Dr. Berry. I suspected that my vegetarian diet of 19 years contributed to my then low T issues. I switched to a Keto lifestyle in June and not long afterwards experienced a noticeable difference. Sadly, not one medical doctor gave me useful guidance by telling me that perhaps I was sabotaging my health with my dietary lifestyle. Thanks for the confirmation. 😀
PAY ATTENTION. This is the real deal. I manifested this video, because for 3 weeks straight I’ve been anxious and intrigued about testosterone and how to raise it naturally. Dr. Berry, I want a consultation with you. You’re the man!
Just do the following (it automatically includes all 5 as well) : Stop eating so much, and so often. More specifically, start training yourself with intermittent fasting, initially 12 : 12. then 16 : 8 (= 16 h no eating) until you get to OMAD (one meal a day). Wen you eat, eat 100 gram meat & 400 grams cruciferous vegetables (raw weight). Once you're there, start doing 2 day fasts - i.e just skip that one daily meal (just drink water with electrolytes (himalayan salts & potasium powder) to avoid fatigue) - you won't believe how that will reset your whole hormonal system, including testosterone. I'm in my fifties, was overweight when I started doing it, and I can absolutely testify to this - in fact, I was shocked at the extent my T count increased (I noticed it before I even got it tested).
That' always bothered me about Kcups as well. Up here in Canada you can buy some K-cup knock-offs that only have a filter pouch instead of a solid plastic.
from Linda...Thank you so much for the info. I will share this info with my Dad who is 76. I wish you were my Doctor - but I live in VA. Always great advice
I've been eating all of my meals from a meal prep company that sends the meals in a plastic container that I store in the refrigerator then I heat them up in the microwave before eating. Should I be heating the meals up on a plate rather than in the plastic container? Thanks
I didnt know about grains. When I cut out eating oatmeal in the morning my stomach is not bloated. I ate it to lower cholesterol but not missing the bloated stomach and loose stools the next day.
No soy or grains? Some countries are much healthier than US and they eat tons of both?? Current guidelines recommend less protein/red meat-- not more. Japanese men have little prostate cancer and they eat soy daily. Please explain.
Could low T cause hot flashes in men? I've been on a statin for about 15 years. I've been having random hot flashes for years. Doctor has checked thyroid which was good. Lately I've been feeling like crap have erectile disfunction and have about 10 to 20 hot flashes a day for the past 6 months. Doctors do blood work and tell me all is good. I don't know if they are checking my T levels. Been having a hard time working because of this. Doctors seem to just blow me off about it, cause hot flashes are for women. They say it's probably anxiety.
I hope this gets seen and responded to. Regarding plastics and LCHF- a method of cooking meat that is gaining in popularity is to Suvie the meat. The meat is placed in either plastic vacuum bags or zip lock bags then immersed in a hot water bath where the Suvie device maintains the water temperature constant at what ever setting you desire (usually around 130 to 160 deg F ) for anywhere from a couple of hours to a couple of days. From what you said about plastics this method of cooking meat could thoroughly poison it.
The plastic hint I knew about in 1989 when I worked in the plastic industry and the resin manufacturers recommended never eating food out of a heated container. The resin Chemist said there is enough heat at the food barrier to the plastic to shed plastic molecules into the food. I would be happy to raise my natural testosterone so I did not have as much injected testosterone.
In viewing the video some things come to mind. I'm 63 years old I drink skim milk I eat oatmeal, bread, spaghetti I do take what may be in a plastic plate for a frozen dinner and put it on a regular plate and heat it in the microwave (I've been doing this for quite some time) I will not lie...I LOVE sugar...in soda, coffee, etc. Fast food junkie. I'm also diabetic but last A1C was 5.8 in June Last T test in March of this year...539. Just a few points off the half way range. I definitely need to rearrange my diet. I eat chicken, beef and pork. Suggestions and comments please...but be civil.
02chevyguy what are you willing to do to become healthy and stay that way? Stopping all sugar consumption will be painful but for only 2 weeks or so. So many people have been where you are and have gotten out of their nutrition rut and have succeeded-for years. It’s worth the effort. I promise.
Dr. Berry Sir, do these apply and help us ladies as well so that we can raise our testosterone to lose weight ? And may I add, your looking younger again.whatever you’re doing keep it up. 👍🏻
Okay, I am going to start on this. But I’m not going to do the fasting part of this. I apparently have a fast metabolism and if I don’t eat 5 to 6 small but healthy meals per day I will drop weight and lose muscle mass and strength quickly. I have always been athletically built and fit. I just want to stay that way. Thanks for the info and the video!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Especially for your comments on soy products. I first heard of this from my own family physician about 12 years ago....When I try to tell other people this they look at me like I'm nuts...So thank you !!!!
When I was in Japan they were laughing about all the Soy we eat over here. They told me that they eat it fermented and then just a bit. What I saw for example was a big stir fry with chunks of beef or Chicken in it. So more veggies but still meat. Over here the Vegetarians eschew all meat.
Thank you for this honest and informed information Dr Berry. I am genuinely interested in the fasting approach to increased testosterone levels. I am almost 52 years old, and train, follow a bodybuilding way of life regarding diet. May I ask, how would I take the fasting approach, so as not to lose muscle etc. Kind regards. Lee.
Something VERY important for testosterone not mentioned here is porn and masturbation. These things especially when done frequently lower testosterone and androgen receptors making it easier to gain weight and therefore lowering testosterone even more. I encourage people to give up these things for 3 months and see for yourself. Remarkable difference. Get lean. having excess fat will cause you to produce more estrogen which is not good for t production.
Curious if the shipping process of products in plastic is also a problem? The products sit in containers and trailers that are sitting in the sun. They can reach temps of 100 degrees or more on the inside...thoughts?
Dr Berry, great video. A couple of questions if I may. Firstly, could this alone explain the loss of fertility we've seen in Western society? Secondly, what negative effects does low testosterone in women cause?
I tried that, but it failed. My testosterone increased when I started eating lots of potatoes and white rice. Carbs are way more important than fats when it comes to raising testosterone.
@@totallyraw1313 True, you can raise testosterone with carbs. But the problem is, that also the testosterone-resistens rises in many people - leading to higher values but worse/same "effective testosterone". And I don't think that carbs are better for that purpose. But I accept your trial. Can you give me more data about that ?
@@SchmittsPeter I tried the carnivore diet for 9 weeks and my total testosterone fell to just 8nmol/L. After adding back carbs, it jumped up to 17nmol/L and I felt so much better. I felt really terrible on the carnivore diet. No libido whatsoever and much more post exercise muscle soreness, probably due too low insulin, as well as testosterone.
@@totallyraw1313 : Thanks for the answer ! My first guess would be, that your calories/fat was too low, but I don't know for shure. For me it is the opposite : I have problems digesting carbs and get total wrecked when I have them.
Concerning point 5: I live in Thailand and have long wondered why there are so many transgender women, gays and generally very feminine men here. My theory is that plastics play a significant role. They really like to put hot food in plastic bags. It's plastic galore over here. Hot soups and hot soy milk (double whammy) are widely consumed and a lot of it was put into non-food grade plastic bags. I can't prove it but I strongly suspect there is a connection. I keep telling people not to eat hot food that came into contact with plastics but few are listening. Meanwhile I'm 43 and still have great muscle tone.
You know that's interesting I've lived in Laos and also northern Thailand for 10 years and I've wondered the same thing and so could it actually be environmental from the plastic... cuz yeah you go to the night market to get food and it's all those thin plastic bags hot soup, vegetables , everything it comes in those thin plastic bags.
@@jejunamja I've thought about this phenomenon for years now (been living in Chiang Mai for over 10 years now) and no other explanation really makes sense. I've heard people argue that it's because Thai culture is more accepting towards gays/transsexuals and it may play a small role but I don't think it explains the huge numbers of them. I don't really think it's a genetic thing either. I tried to do some research about how many transgender women there were in Thailand before they started putting hot food into plastic bags but I couldn't find any data.
@@Axiomatic75 I've been told the exact same thing that the Thai culture is accepting of it but that doesn't change why it's in such a larger % of people then you would find in other countries. That would be interesting if somehow you could do a study before plastic became so widely used in Thailand.On another note I'm going to have to stop getting my food in those thing plastic bags.
@@jejunamja You should really stop buying takeaway food. They all use plastic and the estrogen mimicking chemicals can really mess up your hormonal system. I stopped it a few years ago. Just eat your food right there. I very rarely eat street food these days anyway. They all use cheap vegetable oils and generally low quality ingredients. I try my best to eat clean food, that means I cook most of my meals myself. It's the only way to know for sure what went in it. I've become a fairly good cook in the process and really enjoy it. It is time consuming though.
Axiomatic75 ... Yeah you are very right much better to cook your own food . I don’t eat much/ any fired food , but I will have to cut out any of the food that comes in any kind of plastic containers...difficult when your with Thai friends.
Huge fan doc was wondering if it's OK to drink water from 5 gallon water jugs if it hasn't been heated in any way as I have been doing this my whole life and also do you drink tap water or filtered water?
What video you talked about eczema that you said dairy was bad to stop eating certain foods to help stop the increase of the body making so much of it or how the body is confused that is why we have it !
I did search his video first thing I done couldn't find it for maybe he has it on another name that why I asked for I trouble finding it , I am parshly blind and working with medications to slow it down !
So what am I supposed to eat??? I’m so hungry all the time! I workout 6/7 days a week! I’m up from 5 in the morning every day, i watch my diet so much, I don’t eat chicken or red meat out of choice but it’s so hard trying to figure out what to have for breakfast or lunch without carbs??!!
Good stuff. Thanks Dr. Berry. I’ve changed my order now when I go through Dunkin Donuts, I get a medium coffee, 3 creams no sweetener, and tell them to put it in a paper cup.
What can one do if you can't drink tap water and you can't drink out of plastic bottles, and you don't have a home where you can filter the water, how or where can you get good water
Great video Ken, thank you so much. How about plastic containers that claim to be BPA free? Are they actually better? Do you know anything specific about this chemical?
BPA is a known carcinogen - - bpa free containers are possibly better than bpa riddled containers but theres really no way of knowing what other nasties they contain - - I would play it safe and avoid plastic containers wherever possible - - bpa free or otherwise
I carry water around a lot; I spend most of my days working, driving, walking or sailing out of reach of a water supply. I've always used a cycling type plastic water bottle or something similar that I refill when I get the opportunity. What should I use instead?
Maybe TMI, but I've been on Keto for 5 weeks now (I'm 62). This weekend after having "spent some time" with my wife, she looked at me smiling and asked if I'd been taking Viagra. :-) Nope, Keto!
his “grains” recommendation is dubious at best. Whole grains are good for your health and keeping you full longer, which in turn can help with fasting and can help you lose visceral fat, which is one of the most important factors (by avoiding snacking etc.).
I've found soy is generally just unappetizing. There are some beef patties with soy listed as an ingredient. They seem ok to me. They're not as good as a steak, but as a food they seem palatable. Like the cheapest beef patties at Walmart list beef' beef hearts soy. I can't mix them in with real beef because they will make the beef taste bad. But by themselves they're like salsbury steak or something. Is there something different about the way that soy is processed? I know I can't rock with soybean oil or edamame or straight soy anything. It's just bad..
I believe metal cans (aluminum/tin/etc) also have an interior coating of plastic to keep the metal from oxidizing and improve sealing. Does anyone know if this plastic also leeches into the contents of the cans? That would make it seem practically impossible to drink anything but faucet water and glass bottled beverages.
I started fasting OMAD say 20/4 several months ago following a 4 day fast. Lost a total of 28 lbs, 201 down to 173, 6ft, 1. Stopped daily pizza lunch and was diet soda junkie did a quart or more a day, no grains, pasta or rice. Now at OMAD, fish & shellfish every day, a can of sardines in oil every 2nd day , fruit and 1/2 avocado every day. Beef liver 2nd day, 2-3 whole eggs a day, nuts every day, plenty of greens, tomatoes, etc. Speaking of testosterone, I’ve typically been at the lower end of normal range when tested. For the men out there, I noticed erection quality has improved, I’d say I was 90%, now solid iron 😁 and lasts. Age 61 😲. Didn’t think I’d ever see that again (w/o Cialis). Don’t know exactly what did it, but one of many unexpected benefits of fasting and diet change, including running the fastest 5 mile race ever. 😁😎😁

Great info!....maybe next video could jam even more advice that contradicts everything I've ever been told! 😁
In viewing the video some things come to mind.
I'm 63 years old
I drink skim milk
I eat oatmeal, bread, spaghetti
I do take what may be in a plastic plate for a frozen dinner and put it on a regular plate and heat it in the microwave (I've been doing this for quite some time)
I will not lie...I LOVE sugar...in soda, coffee, etc. Fast food junkie. I'm also diabetic but last A1C was 5.8 in June
Last T test in March of this year...539. Just a few points off the half way range.
I definitely need to rearrange my diet. I eat chicken, beef and pork.
Suggestions and comments please...but be civil.
02chevyguy what are you willing to do to become healthy and stay that way? Stopping all sugar consumption will be painful but for only 2 weeks or so. So many people have been where you are and have gotten out of their nutrition rut and have succeeded-for years. It’s worth the effort. I promise.
Thank you DrBerry!
Great video as usual
Fasting great to my pocket too 😎
True😁👍🏻
Hold on groceries for a few more days!
Lol
I love your videos. Thank you for making them, you’ve taught me a lot. 🧠💥💪
Dr. Berry Sir, do these apply and help us ladies as well so that we can raise our testosterone to lose weight ? And may I add, your looking younger again.whatever you’re doing keep it up. 👍🏻
Thanks for the video doc!
Thanks for the studies links!
I shared with all my sons thank you doc berry 👏🏻
Nice clarification, thank you
Great advice, doc
Thanks Dr Berry. Could you do a vid on BORON ....!
Yes indeed.
Please do video on Boron
Hey Doc...Thanks for the salt combo, I'll give it a try..already order it.. :))
I like your photos of the Roman baths and Abbey in Bath, England in the background. Are they from your travels?
Good stuff
Good video.
Thank you for saying research using a search engine instead of automatically saying the “G” word.
I've been using duckduckgo for a while now. Much better privacy than Google and often better search results.
Duck Duck is certainly not as biased as the G word.
Axiomatic75 Agreed!
@@Axiomatic75 Thanks for the reminder. We can all get lazy without thinking things through.
@@Emkfry8020 You can set duckduckgo as your default search engine in your browser and never have to deal with Google again.
Okay, I am going to start on this. But I’m not going to do the fasting part of this. I apparently have a fast metabolism and if I don’t eat 5 to 6 small but healthy meals per day I will drop weight and lose muscle mass and strength quickly.
I have always been athletically built and fit. I just want to stay that way. Thanks for the info and the video!
Great video
Thank you Doc
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Especially for your comments on soy products. I first heard of this from my own family physician about 12 years ago....When I try to tell other people this they look at me like I'm nuts...So thank you !!!!
When I was in Japan they were laughing about all the Soy we eat over here. They told me that they eat it fermented and then just a bit. What I saw for example was a big stir fry with chunks of beef or Chicken in it. So more veggies but still meat. Over here the Vegetarians eschew all meat.
What about Brita filtering water pitchers? Surely they are made of "safe" plastic? I can't find metal or glass ones with filtering capabilities? ;-(
Thank you for this honest and informed information Dr Berry. I am genuinely interested in the fasting approach to increased testosterone levels. I am almost 52 years old, and train, follow a bodybuilding way of life regarding diet. May I ask, how would I take the fasting approach, so as not to lose muscle etc. Kind regards. Lee.
awesome video Doc!!!
Super good advice. I shared on fb.
thanks dr berry
Ken, what is your say on the SHBG elevating on the carnivore diet and total-testosterone being low?
Something VERY important for testosterone not mentioned here is porn and masturbation. These things especially when done frequently lower testosterone and androgen receptors making it easier to gain weight and therefore lowering testosterone even more. I encourage people to give up these things for 3 months and see for yourself. Remarkable difference. Get lean. having excess fat will cause you to produce more estrogen which is not good for t production.
thank u for waking us up
Curious if the shipping process of products in plastic is also a problem? The products sit in containers and trailers that are sitting in the sun. They can reach temps of 100 degrees or more on the inside...thoughts?
Perfect advice love your message!
Dr Berry, great video. A couple of questions if I may.
Firstly, could this alone explain the loss of fertility we've seen in Western society? Secondly, what negative effects does low testosterone in women cause?
A great way to boost testosterone is to consume more things like egg-yolks and brain ( cholesterol-containing foods ). Nice video.
I tried that, but it failed. My testosterone increased when I started eating lots of potatoes and white rice. Carbs are way more important than fats when it comes to raising testosterone.
@@totallyraw1313 True, you can raise testosterone with carbs. But the problem is, that also the testosterone-resistens rises in many people - leading to higher values but worse/same "effective testosterone". And I don't think that carbs are better for that purpose. But I accept your trial. Can you give me more data about that ?
@@SchmittsPeter I tried the carnivore diet for 9 weeks and my total testosterone fell to just 8nmol/L. After adding back carbs, it jumped up to 17nmol/L and I felt so much better. I felt really terrible on the carnivore diet. No libido whatsoever and much more post exercise muscle soreness, probably due too low insulin, as well as testosterone.
@@totallyraw1313 : Thanks for the answer ! My first guess would be, that your calories/fat was too low, but I don't know for shure.
For me it is the opposite : I have problems digesting carbs and get total wrecked when I have them.
Pine nuts & pumpkin seeds too!
A sixth one I heard is the consumption of alcohol.
i go to the gym alot what to do about eating etc
T-shirt suggestion - Secondary vegetarian - Cows eat grass I eat. cows!
😂😂😂😂😂😂
🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
How about just "I eat Vegans, that's sustainable!"
I'd buy one!!!
Vegetarian of 2nd order is my favorite expression for this
Your Amazon shop, neishalov, does not exist according to Amazon. Loved this video!
What are your thoughts on Einkorn? Is it better...or usable without causing disruption in our bodies?
Concerning point 5: I live in Thailand and have long wondered why there are so many transgender women, gays and generally very feminine men here. My theory is that plastics play a significant role. They really like to put hot food in plastic bags. It's plastic galore over here. Hot soups and hot soy milk (double whammy) are widely consumed and a lot of it was put into non-food grade plastic bags. I can't prove it but I strongly suspect there is a connection. I keep telling people not to eat hot food that came into contact with plastics but few are listening. Meanwhile I'm 43 and still have great muscle tone.
You know that's interesting I've lived in Laos and also northern Thailand for 10 years and I've wondered the same thing and so could it actually be environmental from the plastic... cuz yeah you go to the night market to get food and it's all those thin plastic bags hot soup, vegetables , everything it comes in those thin plastic bags.
@@jejunamja I've thought about this phenomenon for years now (been living in Chiang Mai for over 10 years now) and no other explanation really makes sense. I've heard people argue that it's because Thai culture is more accepting towards gays/transsexuals and it may play a small role but I don't think it explains the huge numbers of them. I don't really think it's a genetic thing either. I tried to do some research about how many transgender women there were in Thailand before they started putting hot food into plastic bags but I couldn't find any data.
@@Axiomatic75 I've been told the exact same thing that the Thai culture is accepting of it but that doesn't change why it's in such a larger % of people then you would find in other countries. That would be interesting if somehow you could do a study before plastic became so widely used in Thailand.On another note I'm going to have to stop getting my food in those thing plastic bags.
@@jejunamja You should really stop buying takeaway food. They all use plastic and the estrogen mimicking chemicals can really mess up your hormonal system. I stopped it a few years ago. Just eat your food right there. I very rarely eat street food these days anyway. They all use cheap vegetable oils and generally low quality ingredients. I try my best to eat clean food, that means I cook most of my meals myself. It's the only way to know for sure what went in it. I've become a fairly good cook in the process and really enjoy it. It is time consuming though.
Axiomatic75 ... Yeah you are very right much better to cook your own food . I don’t eat much/ any fired food , but I will have to cut out any of the food that comes in any kind of plastic containers...difficult when your with Thai friends.
Huge fan doc was wondering if it's OK to drink water from 5 gallon water jugs if it hasn't been heated in any way as I have been doing this my whole life and also do you drink tap water or filtered water?
What video you talked about eczema that you said dairy was bad to stop eating certain foods to help stop the increase of the body making so much of it or how the body is confused that is why we have it !
You can do a search in his vids.
I did search his video first thing I done couldn't find it for maybe he has it on another name that why I asked for I trouble finding it , I am parshly blind and working with medications to slow it down !
love you in blue! great info, thank you!!! keep the videos coming :)
So what am I supposed to eat??? I’m so hungry all the time! I workout 6/7 days a week! I’m up from 5 in the morning every day, i watch my diet so much, I don’t eat chicken or red meat out of choice but it’s so hard trying to figure out what to have for breakfast or lunch without carbs??!!
Carbs boost testosterone, if you don't eat any carbs for a while your testosterone will decrease
Good stuff. Thanks Dr. Berry. I’ve changed my order now when I go through Dunkin Donuts, I get a medium coffee, 3 creams no sweetener, and tell them to put it in a paper cup.
The paper cup is lined with plastic.
Make your own coffee and don't compromise. Sometimes the alternatives (paper cups) are just as bad, they just aren't marketed that way.
Unless it's full fat whip cream you are getting loads of sugar in the creamer.
Get a Vacuum Thermos and make your own.
What can one do if you can't drink tap water and you can't drink out of plastic bottles, and you don't have a home where you can filter the water, how or where can you get good water
Great video Ken, thank you so much. How about plastic containers that claim to be BPA free? Are they actually better? Do you know anything specific about this chemical?
BPA is a known carcinogen - - bpa free containers are possibly better than bpa riddled containers but theres really no way of knowing what other nasties they contain - - I would play it safe and avoid plastic containers wherever possible - - bpa free or otherwise
Im going to ask a dumb question but want to know... would that include BPA free plastics too?
I carry water around a lot; I spend most of my days working, driving, walking or sailing out of reach of a water supply. I've always used a cycling type plastic water bottle or something similar that I refill when I get the opportunity. What should I use instead?
metal bottle
Maybe TMI, but I've been on Keto for 5 weeks now (I'm 62). This weekend after having "spent some time" with my wife, she looked at me smiling and asked if I'd been taking Viagra. :-) Nope, Keto!
Thanks!
his “grains” recommendation is dubious at best. Whole grains are good for your health and keeping you full longer, which in turn can help with fasting and can help you lose visceral fat, which is one of the most important factors (by avoiding snacking etc.).
I've found soy is generally just unappetizing. There are some beef patties with soy listed as an ingredient. They seem ok to me. They're not as good as a steak, but as a food they seem palatable. Like the cheapest beef patties at Walmart list
beef'
beef hearts
soy.
I can't mix them in with real beef because they will make the beef taste bad. But by themselves they're like salsbury steak or something. Is there something different about the way that soy is processed?
I know I can't rock with soybean oil or edamame or straight soy anything. It's just bad..
I believe metal cans (aluminum/tin/etc) also have an interior coating of plastic to keep the metal from oxidizing and improve sealing. Does anyone know if this plastic also leeches into the contents of the cans? That would make it seem practically impossible to drink anything but faucet water and glass bottled beverages.
Justin S
This might force us to just get water filter to filter our tapwater.
@@barackthecomposer6642 most water filter are made of plastic too
Justin S been looking for glass water. Found it but it’s expensive
Now you're gettin it
Is it true that bpa free plastic is ok or no? Gmo's are also killing testosterone levels and they are hard to avoid unless you go all organic food.
I'd really like to see your opinion on red light and near infrared light therapy.
How about living near a red light district? Do you think that could raise a man's testosterone?
Does the Teflon coatings on cookware affect test?
I started fasting OMAD say 20/4 several months ago following a 4 day fast. Lost a total of 28 lbs, 201 down to 173, 6ft, 1. Stopped daily pizza lunch and was diet soda junkie did a quart or more a day, no grains, pasta or rice. Now at OMAD, fish & shellfish every day, a can of sardines in oil every 2nd day , fruit and 1/2 avocado every day. Beef liver 2nd day, 2-3 whole eggs a day, nuts every day, plenty of greens, tomatoes, etc. Speaking of testosterone, I’ve typically been at the lower end of normal range when tested. For the men out there, I noticed erection quality has improved, I’d say I was 90%, now solid iron 😁 and lasts. Age 61 😲. Didn’t think I’d ever see that again (w/o Cialis). Don’t know exactly what did it, but one of many unexpected benefits of fasting and diet change, including running the fastest 5 mile race ever. 😁😎😁
