My story: I've been doing 20/4 for 6 months with a monthly 48hr fast. I've dropped the fat, 40lbs of it. When I started, I couldn't do a pull-up...and 3 push-ups was a struggle. Now I do 3 sets of 6-8 pull-ups or chin-ups and 4 sets of 12 deep push ups. I lift as heavy as I can. I push to failure in my HIIT routine. I started running again for the first time in 20 years. Oh, by the way, I'm 49. I will turn 50 in better shape and looking and feeling younger than I was at 35. I used to be an athlete in my 20's. An avid mountain biker and climber. I injured my spine in my late 20's and I lay on a sofa for 20 years. I would call my comeback a miracle. - Your vids have contributed to the wealth of information and motivation I sought to keep going. I want to thank you for that! And to the folks who comment about their struggles and successes.. tremendous help also! Thank you, guys! You helped me change my life! You probably helped me save my life.

Acidosis? I had severe Arthritis and was only able to take 6 inch long steps and was declared disabled by my Doctor. I had two vertebra's spontaneously fuse together and was facing a final destination of a Wheel Chair. Finally I did a 3 day PH test, three times a day (from my saliva and urine) My Ph was 4.6 and that is/was very acid, so my Doctor missed the Acidosis part. So then I started taking baths in about 2 pounds of Soda and the first time I did this my Ph went up (overnight) to a Ph of 8, so I backed off a bit and monitored and kept my Ph at about 7 Ph and after a few weeks I was ale to take full steps/strides. That was 20 years ago and I am still doing good at near 72 years of age. Now of course I eat plenty of fresh vegetables and my Ph is ever so stable.

[@sergiomesquitarocha8018]

Acidic or alkaline foods reduce or increase the need for the body to compensate. Let’s say the body is compensating for acididy. Carbonic acid will be exhaled. However carbonic acid is needed in the body. If it get’s too low at a given time symptoms such as hyperventilation set in. Hence the benefit of foods that do not agravate this effect. The body has more (secundary) mechanisms of pH compensation. Inflammation acidifies the body due to the leucocyte’s catabolic enzymes. That is why people with chronic inflammatory diseases benefit from alkaline diets. If a person only eats such alkaline foods, the opposite can occur at certain point with symptoms such as difficulty inhaling. Since the carbonic acid/bicarbonate system is the most immediate pH compensation mechanism in the body, a good ideia would be to consume water rich in this mineral in a fasted state (because bicarbonate buffers stomach acid).

[@Orholam5]

that's not how it works....what you eat doesn't affect any of the mechanisms of pH regulation in your blood and cells....your stomach might secrete more acid when you eat alkaline food but that's about it.....

[@Peaches10184]

I don’t think it’s about changing your ph - it’s about digesting foods that agree with your ph so you feel better. As a long time sufferer of acid reflux, I can say that getting in more alkaline foods has vastly helped me. 80% alkaline and 20% acidic.

[@akashicenlightenment]

What he doesn’t know is that acidic food stresses out the c reactive protein in the body. When c reactive protein cells are stressed they can create cancer, cardiovascular disease over time from the body working to much. It’s kinda a reap what you sow type of deal. Even acidic foods here and there can give negative effects after 30+ years of eating it. Cuz it stressing your c reactive protein cells to much. It kinda like when you damage tissue in your body you can’t repair that unless you have stem cell surgery. Only if the tissue is damaged enough. But alkaline foods keep the body in its original state and keep you from getting sick or viruses.

[@spiritualau8263]

@Deco Electra you’re the arrogant one. You physically can’t change it; well you can… if you want to welcome death to your door. It’s tightly regulated for a reason. The medical term for an imbalance of bodily ph is referred to ‘alkalosis’ or ‘acidosis’ both of these conditions can/ will lead to death if not treated in time. Funny enough the simple consumption of foods be it acidic or alkaline won’t cause those problems… why? Because they have a negligible impact on overall body ph. Because it’s tightly regulated by our body and if any change was to occur (the main consensus of the diet) you would in fact die! Anecdotal evidence is not evidence that can be shown to prove something to others btw!

[@robinisathakur]

So why do all medically qualified doctors say this body PH nonsense is all utter BS snake oil? Arrogance doesn’t come into it, it’s a medical fact. When people talk about this subject, check whether they are actual qualified medical doctors. CHECK it because a lot of these people talking about this are “doctors” in chiropracting or another non medical quack-qualification designed to help sell you something. A simple way to check is that actual respected medical doctors don’t produce a line of vitamins or a paid diet plan or pdf which they sell to the public.

[@jeffsharp1812]

@Deco Electra this is most definitely not fact

[@jeffsharp1812]

[@GrowingPains917]

Most people in the comments are disagreeing with this video, which says a lot. I’ve been feeling acidic lately from drinking coffee and having 5-hr energy drinks this past week. This morning I decided to have steamed broccoli for breakfast and then had apple cider vinegar with baking soda added to it and within 30mins I could feel my muscles relax and acidic/inflammation sensation decrease. My eyes even feel a little better, which makes me wonder if I’ve been abusing my body with an acidic diet. CHAT GPT says there are negative symptoms associated with an acidic diet versus an alkaline diet.

[@aaronglanville8430]

He mentioned several times throughout the video that the body automatically balances the pH in the blood. So wouldn't it make sense to eat a more alkaline diet so is that the body doesn't have to work as hard to do this and should therefore boost energy levels?

[@MacLuckyPTP]

This is exactly the point of an alkaline diet.

[@ohthethings]

Well that doesn't make much sense either. Following that logic, your body would become too alkaline and you'd have to eat acidic foods to rebalance your internal environment. The point is that your body *naturally* regulates it's pH levels and unless you're diabetic, the foods you eat make an extremely small impact on your overall pH. In short, the pH of your foods isn't the important component if your diet that you should be monitoring.

[@ohthethings]

@Deco Electra So to recap: I'm wrong and arrogant because I trust bodies of research, established theory and advice from biomedical scientists and clinicians more than you? Okay.

[@spiritualau8263]

@Deco Electra scientifically proven that the gut and blood ph barely/ does not change from food. It is tightly regulated and for good reason; if it was to change ever so slightly you would die. Your anecdotal research is laughable because anyone knows that, that has no basis in scientific grounds. Nice try though!

[@WINDSORONFIRE]

I have a condition called gout. My uric acid level in the blood is too high. I am disappointed that this video says that the pH of blood remains the Same regardless of what you eat yet people with gout are strongly encouraged to eat an alkaline diet. Are you saying that all these medical studies about uric acid in the blood and how to reduce it is untrue? Most people who suffer from gout are put on allopurinol which reduces the body's production of uric acid. It would be great if you could address this issue.

[@FLJD427]

There is no "Fixed" Ph for "the body". There's a whole range of fluid Phs levels - blood, stomach, intestine, kidneys, etc. (e.g. upper gut needs more acid to sterilize out the bioorganisms o specialize it for meat/fat digestion; lower gut needs a more mild Ph to support the microorganisms that ferment the carbs). All we can directly alter is the stomach Ph - use Betaine HCL or ACV. The body does the rest to set Ph in other areas as it needs to for proper signaling and function and immune system to fight diseases and foreign organisms. .

[@arth8265]

Not our body, but our blood is desing to function in pH between 7.35-7.45 :) Our cells have slightly acidic pH due to metabolic reactions which inside them. Every food will produce acid byproducts during metabolism, because they're organic compounds... Alkaline diet is fad. Your urine can change several times during a day. So is that mean Your body pH change several times during a day? Urine is not for measuring "body pH". If You want to know how our body regulates acid-alkaline check Henderson-Hasselbalch equation which explains how our buffers works. BTW our buffers are inexhaustible so You can't knock Your blood from it's proper pH in most situations and especially not because of food You're eating. Too much alkaline compounds in blood is called alkalosis.

You left out metabolic acidosis.... As a former athlete 15 years ago, I suffered from metabolic acidosis by too much exercising, I could recognize the symptoms by the constant hyperventilating, (among others)....You can also see this with people who exercise too much....when they talk, they seem to run out of breath very easily....... I used to drink bicarbonate soda, 1 tablespoon to remedy this back then....sometimes it would work but other times it did not....I also at that time went on the alkaline diet....for months, can't remember for how long....but there was very little improvement (the symptoms did not disappear) in my condition....Overall, the best solution for metabolic acidosis is to STOP training....There are other symptoms associated with Metabolic acidosis, but the hyperventilating is the hallmark symptom….

[@Meechka]

The first thing he said was that the body wants to maintain a pH between 7.2 and 7.4. This shows how little he knows about the pH diet. The correct statement would’ve been the blood wants to maintain that pH. The pH diet is about the interstitial fluid not the blood. The blood will do what it Hass to do to stay at that PH. The interstitial fluid in his 60% of your body‘s fluids. Doctors don’t talk about it they don’t measure it.

[@deva190]

So many are telling people they can't change Ph but either don't know or don't tell them there is a difference between blood and fluid when it comes to what can be changed by the person.

[@docrock9011]

Interstitial pH and blood pH are two very different things. The lungs and kidneys regulate the blood 7.35 to 7.45 and should always be within that range unless you have a medical condition disrupting it. That being said being at the higher range (by eating a more alkaline diet) increases oxygen carrying capacity and a host of other benefits. While you’re not completely wrong there are definite parts of this video that are incorrect.

[@docrock9011]

TaninhoDD look up oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve. It explains oxygenation and acidity.

[@0xiliyan]

You're so right! Blood pH is regulated within the body and needs to stay within that narrow range 7.3 - 7.4. But that does not mean your urine Ph tested with a strip need to fit within that tight range. Super misleading video!

[@sergiomesquitarocha8018]

Eric Knable That might not a good ideia. The body get’s used to nootropics, hence the dose has too be increased, which can chronically oxidized the affected tissues, preventing them from recovering. Dying, that is. An exceptional case might be when you do not notice a tolerance over time. This might indicate the body can recover fairly well. Nevertheless, not all long term symptoms are evident in the short term. Also, if you are young, know that once the pruning its, your recovery metabolism will slow drastically. Cycle any drug, or use them only when you really need them. Also, if you feel tired the next day, that is a sign the pill is taking a tool.

You do not have to take a ton of sodium bicarbonate to get good results, maybe a tsp or less when your ph is low. I know it works because I have Addison's which is associated with acidity, and after I take the baking soda, my ph goes up and so does my energy level. Having said that, I prefer to use baking soda cautiously as too much is rumored to cause things like kidney stones Lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, orange juice, wheatgrass or wheatgrass powder, tomato juice, dried fruits and greens will get you alkaline.

[@rbalkhair]

Thank you! That is really cool info.

[@cognophile]

Gobbling down sodium bicarbonate is an extreme example. How about habitually consuming large quantities of phosphoric (or other) acid, as typically found in processed "soft" drinks?

[@Orholam5]

how would that change anything....your stomach acid is already so acidic......at most drinking a lot of soda will cause it to adapt to secrete less acid, which can be bad if you suddenly stop drinking soda....leading to digestion not occurring properly....but otherwise phosphoric acid doesn't get absorbed in your body ....

[@cognophile]

Some studies indicate an association between potential renal acid load (PRAL) and urinary calcium excretion. Others indicate consuming vegetables may have a protective effect. Diet is a factor, so it's a tricky area to study. Presumably, if the acid load exceeds the excretion capacity of the renal system, the body may be forced to compensate in other ways.

This is the first time I disagree with Thomas's viewpoint in one of his published videos. I am a fan! However, I believe from personal experience and from watching those close to me that the body's cellular and intracellular pH - which can be very different from the blood or urinary pH - can greatly affect the body's health. Diet, in turn, greatly affects the cellular and intracellular pH of the body. A poor diet that burns acid in the body eventually CAN cause a more acidic cellular and intracellular pH. That is a root cause of chronic health issues, but it is NOT the only cause of chronic health issues. I agree that the urine pH is not a good measure of the body's cellular / intracellular pH, but salivary pH is a good measure.

[@jnanacaksusa3932]

Thomas your completely correct when your talking about homeostasis but you cannot be more wrong about the types of food you eat. The acidity and alkaline is not only physical categories of food but also spiritual categories of food. And your gut micro biome is extremely sensitive to such categories, the body may not suffer as much to short term changes with dietary changes but your mind and soul, can definitely take a blow within hours of what you ate. All thanks to the 1kg of microbiota that lives in your body that also affect your mind and soul. Don’t forget the human body is more of a super organism rather than a mechanical machine. The body is not dictated by physicallities but is actually dictated by spirituality, the food that we eat all comes from living organisms which it self has a spirit like our gut. The physical side of the process might not impact our physical bodies health has much as the spiritual side would impact how we feel in a daily and momentary bases. It is naturally set at a 75/25% balance, the spirit being the 75%; dictating how the human actually feels. So mind your spirit and mind the spirit your ingesting will save you a lot of hot air from ‘doctors’,‘physicians’,and ‘self proclaimed doctors’. To put it in layman’s terms you go on your computer to look/access your KZbin account...(being your spirituality)...no one goes to their computer and opens up the hard drive to look at the transistor and switches inside of it (being your physical). See your spirit as the software, and see your physical as the hardware... looking at the human body in that perspective can save you a lot of confusion that doctors are having now. And they are spreading nothing but confusion when they look at the hardware and tell people they can manage their accounts by playing with the computer’s switches... it is almost impossible to even log in your KZbin and see your contents with out the software.

lol new age lies.. repent and believe the Gospel of Jesus Christ

[@ishtar0077]

What about Wim Hof breathing techniques. He can change his ph by breathing

[@veeg3185]

how do we get rid of keto breath and strong ammonia urine smell i seem to have now from doing Keto? i am new to the diet so i think my body is adjusting i just feel like my ph is off. How can i correct that? i am eating only organic meats/fish and green leaf veggies and the only dairy i have is feta cheese or organic swiss cheese.

[@nikimoreno1]

Hi!! I love your videos. They are very educational and eye opening and you are very eloquent in explaining them. Thank you. Can you talk about Kangen Water? Is it worth the investment? Thank you!

[@hluvv7607]

What your opinions on alkaline foods for chronic gastritis with Intestinal Metaplasia ?

[@aaqibbora3176]

Hey Thomas, just wanted to thank you for the amazing content you put regularly. Been following you since you had around 50k subs. So happy to see your channel grow. Thanks again for educating us. Love from India.

Also pH stands for potential for hydrogen not power of hydrogen!!!

[@jimmyb4982]

Your assertion doesn't agree with my research: www.materialstoday.com/materials-chemistry/comment/caustic-wit-acid-tongues-mind-your-ps-and-qs/ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PH www.thoughtco.com/what-does-ph-stand-for-608888 education.seattlepi.com/ph-stand-chemical-formula-6767.html cultureofchemistry.fieldofscience.com/2010/03/chemical-urban-legends-ph.html www.quickanddirtytips.com/education/science/the-basics-of-ph

Hey Thomas, great informative video. Can you do a video on 'Blood Type' and what diets are best for different blood types? Thanks.

[@HenryPaulThe3rd]

There’s no such thing as a blood-type based diet

[@powered77]

​@@HenryPaulThe3rdthere is a blood type based diet. I had a book about it. However, that does not mean it works or does anything the other diets don't do. I am just saying there are published works out there on this topic, so some people may believe it is a valid diet. I am SO sick of the lies and misinformation out there! I am glad I can watch Thomas's videos and hear the science behind the claims or disproving the theories!

[@angelabonin3167]

Yes! Science!

[@boaboy8052]

One of my favorites, cheers you

[@docrock9011]

Boa Boy cheers to him being wrong on many points?

[@stevenblackford8379]

Learned something new here :)

[@jimmyb4982]

You don't recommend people eat a lot of fruit? Does this include nutritious savoury fruits such as tomato, avocado, pumpkin, squash, chilli, cucumber, zucchini, and eggplant? Savoury fruits contain considerably less sugar than the popular sweet fruits.

[@donaldhaley8320]

You're explaining what's happening with eating alkaline foods and acid foods. So what happens when you eat constant acid foods? Why do people take Tums? If your blood level is 7.3 and its alkaline you all what you eat why would you eat acid acid makes mucus and mucus makes disease you should teach about the degrees of what comes from acid foods meaning mucus and all other things that come from it as well as disease. People that are under the pH of 7 have a lack of iron and that iron is from dead animals plant-based iron is magnetic which pools in all the other minerals it is called burdock.

[@SarahLynn1116]

thomas can you please explain what kind of water should we be drinking and is alkaline water safe?

[@Dame28]

Bro said ditch the veggies buy my burgers

[@MrHater423]

Good morning Thomas, been keto for about 3 weeks. One question I’ve always had is will cold brew coffee take me out of intermittent fasting? Some coffees say they have 25 calories and some carbs. I always get unsweetened ones.info greatly appreciated

[@silver_3330]

No black coffee won’t.

[@6789uiop]

Thank you. I've felt like it's my DUTY to refute the "gurus" espousing ACV to adjust pH. I quote that range regularly ffs... ACV for Insulin maybe.

[@zachbenoit4684]

can you do a video on acne plz

[@richjacquemin]

So what would cause calcium bone spurs to form?

[@mrrob5851]

What about lowering the acidity of the body to defeat illness like Cancer that feed on acid

[@oliver1834]

nope

[@skaterfugater]

THAT IS A 41 % DIFFERENCE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FOURTYONE PERCENT !!!!! listen man i love you but this time you forgot to do the math: the PH value is the decadic logarithm of the concentration of H+ ions. PH 7,3 means 10^(-7,3) mole/liter PH 7,45 means 10^(-7,45) The ratio of these concentrations is 10^(0,15), which is 1,41! If the diet can only slightly have an impact on that it is absolutely ludicrous to call that minute. as a matter of fact, the thought that the acidic concentration in the blood stream can alter by over 40% without causing instant death is mind blowing. also alkaline nutrition doesnt mean the food is alkaline. it means it is metabolised in a way that leaves alkaline result on the blood after the enzymes are done. And alkaline nutrition in that sense has healed my knee joint.

[@uchennambuko3786]

the good thing about humans is that we are all endowed with power of reasoning.it enables us not to be gullible. dear thomas i love your contents but too late,i adopted an alkaline diet since 2008 and the benefits has been tremendous. so i will pass,next video please

[@spintillimdizzy2340]

my dads been all alkaline for past 5 years dude looks crazy and hasnt got sick once.

[@mathb2023]

can you do a video about "Fathead Dough"? seems to be popular with keto diets but is it really ok to eat consistently?

[@carlmelander6653]

You know, what I understand is that if you are a healthy vegan, one does not eat meat, which is sour to the body. Might not effect the bodies PH but still, eating alkaline foods in this way still seems the best way to go. I am not a vegan. Thats a big reason healthy vegans are more healthy, because they dont eat acid foods.

[@stuarthall2523]

Only subscribed recently to your channel and found some good info. Water fasting for one. Have you done one on Plant based diet? So much out there about the healing effects, reversing some illnesses. I’d be interested to hear your views.

[@tstarr2399]

The alkaline diet is healthy but i dont think the ph is the factor. People who havent learned of the buffer system cant understand.

[@sr166]

So what’s the best way to get rid of acidity like uric acid naturally. I don’t wanna be stuck on allopurinol my whole life. I’m eating a lot more greens smoothies fresh and organic staying away from sugars and sodium and red meats trans fatty foods. My body is still high with uric acid genetics😡 i’m still in search of information and knowledge to reverse the cycle. Can anybody share some knowledge and are you dealing with a similar situation? God Bless

[@ashramdhan1582]

But is it necessary to eat 10 cups vegetables a day on keto like dr berg teaches us?

[@Michael-li3id]

I get it that your blood ph can't change between 7.3-7.4, but will a high alkaline diet THEN require less energy needed by the body to achieve neutral ph? Let's say there's a finite amt of 'fuel' your body has available each day - let's call it 2 gallons worth. Say based on traditional American high acidic diet, body spends 1 gallon of fuel achieving neutral pH, which only leaves 1 gallon for all other functions. By lessening the amt of acid or increasing the amt of alkaline, will that leave more fuel for focus, muscle building, energy, brain function etc?
