02:07 Confusion Over Carbohydrates:
03:44 The Real Problem with Carbs:
05:29 Eating for Your Microbiome
07:44 Why Fat is Blamed
09:00 Gut Bacteria Diversity and FMT
FMT (Fecal Microbial Transplant) has been published in medical literature for 50 years or more. Delivering probiotics or fully formed microbiota via the rectal route offers huge potential. Today, more than 500 hospitals in America perform FMT for the treatment of C. diff. C. diff can be contracted via the use of acid blocking drugs or the use of antibiotics, both of which disrupt the complexity and diversity of your gut microbiome. The success rate of FMT for C. diff is 94 to 96%. The approved standard treatment with antibiotics is about 26 to 28% effective.
10:07 C-Sections: Maria Dominguez-Bello at NYU Medical School has published a series of papers. The most recent of which in the journal Nature, where she has advocated putting a swab in the vaginal birth canal prior to a C-section and mandatory intravenous antibiotics, keeping the swab in a warm moist environment. After the baby is born, inoculate baby’s face and mouth with the contents of the birth canal. These are the seeds for the microbiome.
13:30 Problems with High Fat in the Research:
16:18 Oral Microbiome: Studies of the oral microbiome of our ancestors found two dramatic times when there were changes: 10,000 years ago and 200 years ago. These correlate with the development of agriculture and the development of processed sugar. The reduction of diversity in our microbiome is passed down to the next generation.

He took the time to answer my question about my problem and quickly told me I needed omega 3's - he literally changed my life in five minutes. I had read his early work and already knew about him. He deserves a Nobel Prize for his work. Thank you and bless you Dr. Perlmutter!!

[@deskjockie4948]

At 13:00ish, when they began discussing the high fat diet, they commented that the study showing deleterious effects from such a diet also included high amounts of sugar. This reminded me of the movie "Supersize Me" where Morgan Spurlock ate at McDonald's for 30 days and gained weight and damaged his health. The doctors in that film referred over and over to the high amount of fat that he ate as being the cause of his bad effects, but did not say anything about the amount of sugar he consumed, which his dietician calculated to be ONE POUND A DAY for the 30 days!

[@pennyjoyce8172]

deskjockie49 I

[@mindibear]

deskjockie49 There is another documentary, sorry can’t remember the name of it, that a guy ate at McDonalds every day for 30 days but ate a low carb diet, mostly salads and bunless burgers, and he was perfectly healthy at the end and he might have even lost some weight.

[@AllisterCaine]

That's the Morgan Spurlock who took steroids to gain weight, just to add some context. If i ate everything junkfood i wanted to, hell even if i smoked weed i couldnt gain weight the way he did. He also pretty much lied about so much things. When he compared cheese to heroin, don't you people get suspicious? Why are all the addicts not fixing cheese but are still on H? Because that guy is talking BS big time. Liver problems and erectile dysfunction are dead giveaways for steroid use btw, the latter one is not associated with one month of McD.

[@edgarlopez1640]

It's always been that way,they blame fat n meat but they don't mention what they eat with it like bread french fries ketchup mayonnaise and soda which really adds up to the high carbs n sugar that raise your glucose later on causing insulin resistance which causes diabetes,high blood pressure,heart disease cancer and other modern day diseases..

[@glockgrandma2517]

First let’s clarify the type of fat used at McDonald’s. They use SEED OILS, not lard. Seed oils such as canola, corn, peanut, safflower, etc are all high inflammatory food like substances. We can’t have a decent conversation about food and it’s affects until we define what is food. McDonald’s doesn’t serve food, they serve food like substances. Fat is what? Animal fat? Beef, Pork, Duck Fruit fat? Coconut, Avocado, Olive Vegetable? Nut? Seed? What about omegas 6 & 3? What about cold press, hydrogenated? What about preservatives? There’s so much more to look at.

T Birch When you say that your psoriasis doesn't get angry does that mean that you're 100% clear and haven't had any flair ups or that it hasn't gotten worse? I'm curious because I have psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis and have been looking into this diet as a possible therapy.

I was on a low meat, low fat, high carb diet growing up. I had my first baby young and developed preeclampsia with my pregnancy as well as problems with my teeth, like needing a root canal. A year later, I developed PCOS and started having irregular cycles, not always ovulating. Over the last 4 years I've adopted a low in refined carbs diet, incorporating more meat and fat. I've reversed my PCOS to the point where I have a regular cycle and ovulate every month and don't get cystic acne unless I get sloppy with my diet. I got pregnant again with no effort and had a great pregnancy, my teeth are in great shape. I'm just so thankful I saw the light and was able to change my ways.

[@toddstuder7388]

A whole foods ketogenic diet has dramatically decreased my blood sugar levels (105 to 70-72 or so most days), HS-CRP dropped by over 100%, and fasting insulin levels are now very low (I didn't test this one before I started the diet). My energy levels for the first 30 days or so were not great on the diet but after that (and for the rest of the entire year) they've been better than ever before in my life. I basically follow something similar to the Wahls protocol and I try to eat 6 cups of organic vegetables each day. My ketone levels range from 0.5 to 3.2, but where I used to check them about 20 times per day I now rarely check. I have the breath meter and I purchased 300 blood ketone strips (yes, a bit over the top). The urine strips worked very well for me for about 6 or 7 months on diet and now they register trace or less even when I'm over 3.0 mm. The biggest change is in my nails -- they used to break multiple times per week and now they never break, they're shiny and hard and I basically feel like I could cut wood with them. Psoriasis on my ankle is also now gone completely. I think the ketogenic diets sometimes makes things worse for a short time (like my psoriasis) when it's getting read to fix/cure them. I've notice this effect now several times. Best of all the diet is really easy to follow and I now basically never binge which is something that I used to do daily..

Fantastic interview as always Mike, you always ask great question and Dr Perlmutter was very enlightening. Thank you for sharing. One tiny request @HighIntensiyHealth when you use abbreviations and medical terms would you please speak a bit more slowly so we can catch what you are actually saying and encourage your guests to to likewise? Thank you in advance.

[@simplifiedmamabear6628]

Great video, very informative. I have been doing Paleo for a year and recently started Keto but its been so hard to cut out all of the sugar. It's good to know that having sugar while on Keto will make things worse, so HOPEFULLY I can shut down the sugar cravings knowing that now! It really doesn't help I live a couple blocks from a Chocolate Factory ughh

[@MommyDontSeeMe]

Molly Davis My husband and I started a ketogenic diet three months ago and stayed on it through vacation. The last night we actually had dessert - dark chocolate mousse with no added sugar. We shared it, so it was 15 carbs (total, not net) each. It was a nice splurge, and I make it occasionally at home.

[@vilkers2211]

Sugar craving can be related to lack of magnesium which can come from caffeine overdose, lack of proper sleep, stress. I'd recommend to have almonds for your snacks. They're rich in magnesium

That is wonderful to hear about not eating breakfast, because I have never eaten breakfast and I thought I was starving my kids, but pretty much no one eats in my family unit lunch time, and sometimes later.

Someone who's actually telling the story from the beginning of time. Thank you so much. Put someone in a beautiful green forest and they would starve. IF they chose the vegetable matter alone.

[@quentindavis5305]

I do intermittent fasting but personally fair much better eating an early breakfast, then eating again about 6 hours later, then fasting the rest of the day. So if I wake at 8 am, then I eat at 9 am, eat again at 3 or 4 pm, then fast til bedtime (midnightish).

[@broznar1019]

i do better with prolonging my fast, namely getting up at 6:30, breakfast at 11; followed with dinner around 6pm.

[@Jefferdaughter]

Generalities may apply to everyone, but the specifics... these seem to up to each of us to discover for ourselves.

[@luanmaia]

But, in that sense everything is fasting, right ? If someone eats at 8, 3pm and then 21pm... its 3 meals a day. How is that fasting ? I`m not getting into offensive fights, i am really curious. I`m reading a lot and all the fasting/keto diets i saw for now need some kind of medicine to go with. I don`t see how taking a bunch of vitamines and medicines is better than eating but i guess is about goals.

[@quentindavis5305]

luan maia I eat at 9 am and 3 pm. It's about 17 hours of fasting and 7 hours of fed.

[@luanmaia]

Quentinha Davis and how do you feel? Do you do high intensitivity exercites? 10km running, long swinning or any exercise? Im asking so i can try to understend how functional is

1 week after watching this, Dr. David actually started following me on instagram lol! True story!

[@mobiustrip1400]

I've been on a keto diet for six months and lost 45 pounds. It is amazing, but I've got to take issue with the claim that our bodies are naturally keto and have been for hundreds of thousands of years. Impossible! How and why then did we evolve a pancreas? It was to deal with high levels of glucose in the blood stream right? Where did that come from? I think fruits in summer/ autumn, roots, yams, tubers would have been available to our ancestors in abundance. So the ketogenic state, or diet, should be more properly called the "winter" state/diet.

[@rageonyx]

In Europe people have been happily eating potatoes for at least 10,000 years. They are one of the few foods that can last from harvest through winter without rotting away. I believe the starch gets broken into glucose by the liver.

[@jovankakhadra3219]

rageonyx. Potatoes came from America. Before Columbus Europe had no potatoes.

[@wesyg9833]

Also some cultures would eat bread during the winter from time to time, but not during other seasons and not 3 times a day, EVERYDAY (like most people do in america). I got this as a source from the author of "Eat Wheat," which is an exaggerated title, like most click bait today, but get's people to listen. I am of Italian descent and I love wheat haha, also am fairly thin. (real wheat: just flour, water, salt and yeast as ingredients, you know the real stuff, not this processed crap we see everywhere now)

[@joshuasample7605]

The pancreas is really two glands that are intimately mixed together. One part produces enzymes that simply help the digestion of food.The second part releases hormones, such as insulin and glucagon, into the blood stream, and these hormones in turn help control blood sugar (glucose) levels. For your assumption of the evolution of the pancreas consider the functions I just described. Glucose is required by your body to perform some functions and your body can only functionally store a certain amount. We didn't "evolve" a pancreas because of an imagined overabundance of sugar. Sugar was relatively scarce but still requires regulation. Period. Without a system to mange and distribute macros, our bodies would be a useless rollercoaster of energy or the lack thereof. To this day, our body still cannot appropriately manage large amounts of sugar hence the crash that comes with excess sugar and the variety of diseases caused by lifetimes of overindulgence in sugars and starches. The most readily available food of our ancestors were mainly cruciferous (fibrous) vegetables, seeds, nuts, animals, and the like. Fruit was rare and had a much lower sugar content before agriculture began selecting seed and developing sweeter and higher yield fruit. Going without food for periods of time was a common characteristic of hunter/gatherer culture which of course varied by region and cultural group. Without cultivation, I can't imagine where this "abundance" of edible roots/yams/tubers would have come from except for the odd find here and there which most likely wasn't edible. Also consider that we didn't have the same vegetable resources over 10,000 years ago much in the same way that we didn't have the same species of animals (i.e. chickens, cows, pigs, etc.). Keep questioning. Keep learning. Keep enjoying your continued success with all things keto. I hope these insights helped. Cheers.

What does meat do to the good bacteria? Also, when we’re incorporating pre-biotics and probiotics, when should we eat meat (in the sequence)

[@Highintensityhealth]

It's a great question! The data in humans is quite mixed.

[@glockgrandma2517]

I don’t have scientific evidence per se other than tens of thousands of years of human history that states ingesting animals does not harm us, it’s helped shape who we are. Of course consuming poison laced food is not healthy. Duh - Seed oils are now harming vegetarians so that even a vegetarian diet is unhealthy. Middle eastern people from India are really suffering with obesity and diabetes bc they stopped using butter and ghee and switched over to peanut, canola and corn oils. History proves animal products heal.
