I wish I knew this 20 years ago. I have a slim top and big butt and big thighs. Currently taking progesterone and testosterone. I have dropped 69 pounds since following keto and HRT since 2014. It feels great to feel slim after so many years of being obese.

[@amandawaldrom4660]

I don't have any of these conditions, but I watched the whole video anyway, as I like to learn new things. 👍

[@lynnluisi6226]

I just adore this brave man who has the guts to tell it like it is!

[@pedrolavigne9718]

As a retired trained lymphedema therapist I wish the doctors who I trained with both in Canada and Germany were aware of the benefits the diet can bring to lipidema patients. We therapists are very well aware that lymphedema can lead to lipidema and vice versa. I sincery hope you get invited to lecture therapists in training and continuing education in their field. Most of the patients I helped mananaged their lymphedema or lipidema condition could not get their GP doctor recognize their condition. Many of them were misguided going on diuretics.

[@alba7165]

Please explain how I can slim my lipodemic legs? I’ve been eating low carb for three years and nothing seems to work. I’ve had my estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone levels checked. Estrogen was in the normal range, progesterone was borderline low, and free Testosterone was four points too high. I do have uterine fibroids but no ovarian cysts. So confused. :(

[@alba7165]

@Papa F Jose they're actually improving a bit. 20g a day is the goal, but zero carb really is the way to go. The doc checked for PCOS and I don't have it.

[@dailydoseofmedicinee]

Whether you're a man or woman, the hormones testosterone and estrogen play a leading role in your metabolism.

[@kateaye3506]

And those hormones are dependant upon what we eat.

[@melissaculpepper7663]

True. However, men do not completely lose their testosterone. Women who are POST-MENOPAUSAL have “0” estrogen, hence the post- menopause condition. Therefore, we post- menopausal women must replace the estrogen that we no longer have AND, if a woman still has her uterus, she must balance the estrogen with progesterone. There are certain women who cannot use HRT due to genetics and there are always some risks with HRT. Not taking HRT increases our risk to Alzheimer’s, breast cancer, uterine cancer, osteoporosis, and heart disease. So, be informed of your immediate family history and risks, such as, are you a smoker, heavy drinker, over-weight? Also, there is the “10 Year Window” you need to be aware of. If you have been post-Menopausal 10 years or more, you are not a candidate for HRT, because your arteries will not be able to handle the estrogen. I praise God for HRT!!! Due to my doctor’s ignorance and horrible knowledge of HRT, I suffered needlessly for 7 years! I finally cried out to God and He brought across my path the information I needed to confidently and boldly ask my doctor for the hormones I so desperately needed! I feel so vibrant again! I have my life back!!!

I attended that lipadema seminar and appreciate your further elaboration here. Whatever can be done to bring lipedema out of the shadows, I am all for it.

So interesting... They told me I have PSOS, but otherwise I was always lean and generally healthy...never have I thought I could be fit on the outside but fat on the inside...

[@alphacause]

Thank you Dr. Cywes for having this nuanced discussion around hormonal regulation of fat. Gary Taubes, in many of his earlier presentations, when he was emerging as a leading voice on changing our paradigm on nutrition from a calorie centric model to a hormonal one, illustrated the power of hormones on fat deposition by showing naked photos of lipodystrophy patients. Lipodystrophy, for those reading this who are unacquainted with the concept, is a condition where people had an inability to store fat in areas in which most others can store fat. The result was that the person, afflicted with lipodystrophy, would be shaped odd, where they would have pronounced muscular definition in the upper body due to being incapable of storing subcutaneous fat in that region, but would look obese from their waist down. When showing this, Taubes would then issue a challenge to those who advocate for the CICO model, asking how would they explain this? Based on their paradigm, they would have to say that this person's lower body was gluttonous, while their upper body was anorexic. To this day, Taubes' illustration was one of the most powerful explanations demonstrating how inadequate the CICO model is, and why we need to focus more on the endocrinology behind fat deposition and hunger.

[@rhondaw2753]

I watched a few of your videos yesterday. I heard quite a HUGE nugget in one of them. I think you could do an entire video about this. This was a lightbulb moment for me! thank you. "Insulin blocks the conversion of cholesterol downstream to steroid hormones". This is SO big! I am in menopause and ALL hormones are low or not there at all. I am stepping up to do strict healthy keto again and feel better already.

[@jeannedigennaro6484]

Thank you for all your very informative videos! I share them with whoever will listen!

[@jenniferburke2972]

I'm so glad someone in the keto world is so knowledgeable about lipidema! I've never been diagnosed with it, but I strongly suspect it in myself as I have that body shape where I store 98% of my weight in my hips to calves and my upper arms. I'm also one who has 2 mutated MTHFR genes. I know you're not one to put much behind MTHFR, but taking methylated B vitamins regulated my cycles even when I was still 400+ pounds, I believe by helping me to detox some of the excess estrogen. Then I've lost 195 pounds, 135 of those pounds in 27 months of keto and noticed my body evened out substantially even though I'm still shaped like that lipidema shape, just much less severe. I lost 15+ inches in my hips but only 10" in my waist so far. I know I'll never change my propensity to store weight in certain places, but it definitely helps to accept that and understand the cause and the dietary tools that will come the closest to fixing it. I interpret your 'no carbs and less food' for lipidema people as carnivore and more fasting are in order to take me to the next level!

[@Texasketogirl]

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@pacificislandgirl]

PCOS can start as young as 10 - it attacks your thyroid causing hypothyroid - then your adrenals - causing weight gain - then your ovaries are filled with cysts causing hormonal problems and more weight gain, excess body hair, skin conditions, thinning hair and difficulties getting pregnant. Gestational diabetes often occurs with pregnancy and more weight gain. Often the Doctors often do not recognize this condition and it remains untreated until surgery is required to remove ovaries and your uterus. Then you are left with diabetes 2, hypothyroidism, fibro and being fat. One lives with organ damage until one dies. Not everyone is born equal.

[@alisonarmstrong8421]

I would like to hear more about Progesterone , I am a 62 year old woman and have been using it transdermaly for 25 ish years for bad pms . When I went through menopause I switched over to every day of the month for anxiety anger and sleep . So many women use estrogen in menopause I could not it was horrible for my emotions . I try to stick to a carnivore diet .

[@Marie-tf8ug]

I’ve been living a Fasting/Keto lifestyle for 2 years. I’ve gone down a few dress sizes but the scale # hasn’t moved. I recently removed my IUD on the theory that my hormones weren’t in balance, which in turn kept me in state of Insulin Resistance. Could this be true? It’s hard to find any info about Progesterone levels and it’s effects to Insulin Resistance. Time will tell if Im right I suppose. Edit: It’s been 2 mos since my removal and I’ve lost 8lbs! I think I was right😀

THANK YOU!!! Finally, someone can explain to me why I have been overweight since puberty, gain weight so quickly and have it all stored from the waist down. I can gain 10-20 lbs in a couple of weeks yet take months to lose it. Even doing Keto is slow going. You’d think my body was saving fat for the Apocalypse!!!

[@dianaaugustine5438]

Thanks Dr. Cywes. I’m 27 and was diagnosed with PCOS over 10 years ago. I had a big belly and large butt/legs. A couple years ago, with fasting and a low carb diet, I lost over 100lbs and got pregnant with my son! Now I have a different problem. Since pregnancy, I’ve developed painful lipedema in my legs. I’m trying to up the fasting to see if it will help. I’ve still got 30-40 lbs I’d like to lose. I’m hoping it will resolve the pain.

Great explanation of body hormonal variations !! Enjoyed listening to this, and for me it confirms my whys and how’s to what I’m doing. I had PCOS confirmed in my early 20s, when I look back at photos I can tell through how I carried my weight etc. I have had 3 children but had gestational diabetes, which was at its worst by the 3rd child.

One thing I'd love to know is what I should weigh. I'm 56, just now starting menopause female. Been keto 4 years now. I lost 50 lbs and feel good but I'm slowly losing now. I weigh 185 but wear the same size pants I wore when I was 20 and 120 lbs. Should we go by the BMI chart? Does it account for age? I had a goal of 150 to 155? My short goal is 180. My husband and I both do keto. Hes lost 115 lbs. We both have some skin left from weight loss too. Hes 62 still works full time as commercial carpenter. I work as a house cleaner. Very active people. We both reversed so many issues. Hes off 16 meds the VA had him on too. People don't recognize us, as we look so much different. But what should we weigh????

[@EveStuart-s5n]

Great explanation Dr Cywes. What about women, like me who have one very large Ovarian Cyst. I was fertile with regular periods in my younger years. Fairly early menopause. Had to have major surgery to remove the large ovarian cyst and sadly also had my right ovary and fallopian tube removed as well. I did get pregnant after that with my daughter not long before my menopause commenced.

Dr. Cywes, thank you for making all this expertise freely and globally available. We live in Turkey, and all the physicians here are the way you describe: they do lab tests and throw medication at conditions with no wholistic or lifestyle approach. Besides, we can't afford anyone but state physicians, who don't like to talk to patients and don't like being asked anything or even talked to. I know I'm asking too much of you, but I have no other choice but to ask this to you directly: Does birth control medicine do any good or harm in PCOS (gynaecologists here prescribe it)? Can fasting work?The woman in question here is 25, 1.58cm - 47kg, has IBS, has lost 7-8 kgs, can't totally get off bread, doesn't like high protein - high fat foods (some chicken, very little fish, eggs, ground beef and cheese), and is the apple of my eye!

The doctors in Italy are the same way! They don’t have any bedside manners, don’t introduce themselves as Doctor so and so, sometimes they don’t even wear a coat or scrubs- they wear street clothes so I can’t tell if they are doctors or not, they don’t like to hear new ideas about one’s own health. They just write prescriptions and follow protocols to the book. It’s so sad that is their healthcare...more like disease management.

So, I know carbs are an addiction. I have been saying this for along time. I know that I have an addictive personality because of things that have happened in my childhood and as an adult. Before my issues manifested in this addiction manifestation, they manifested in other ways. Now I'm 59, short and over weight, very metabolically impaired, I truly believe this, and have for some time. But I have been unable to MAINTAIN abstinence for an extended period of time. But for the time I do, I am successful in losing some weight. If you are in Jax, I am.not THAT far from you. I work in a hospital with psychiatry and know there are drugs to help addiction and have even thought about studying about them to maybe talk to the doctor about. That's how desperate I am for help.

Stop carbs as they make you starving. Dont have anything but good real food that you have to cook. Prep your meals. Distract yourself with pleasant activities.

Your story is common. Most people can "be good" for a while, but then the flood gates reopen. It really took an epiphany for me in order to look at food differently - more as energy than entertainment. (M 6'0" 352 > 192, age 56-58.) Extinguishing the carb cravings takes perhaps 6-8 weeks on strict keto, which is very difficult for addicts or people in difficult home/work environs. A self help group is beneficial for many, which is how weight watchers achieves most of its beneficial results (IMO.) You might try www.reddit/xxketo and seek out user/anbeav. Yours is not a one and done KZbin issue. Good luck.
