Ketogenic diets and their applications with Dr. Susan Wolver - Diet Doctor Podcast

[@rebeccaarcher5139]

Better Having gained 60 pounds after my hysterectomy and struggled with hot flashes no matter what we did medically, I had panic attacks, chronic bladder infections, and was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. I cannot fully explain all the suffering I endured before starting first keto, then the carnivore diet with intermittent fasting. What joy to feel better! I cannot get dressed without practically leaping for joy! To be thin and strong and healthy is a thrill that never gets old! After my success, with great fear and trembling, we started my type-1 diabetic husband on the keto diet and later carnivore. We did exactly the OPPOSITE of what his doctors and nutritionists told him to do! He’s also lost 60 pounds, and he’s “awake“ for his life instead of walking around asleep and dying. I could have lost him! I am enraged at our medical system for leaving us in the dark for over 40 years! When I think of how much medicine we have purchased! When I think of how much suffering we have both endured! It is criminal. Thank you for gathering and sharing this valuable information!

I think the crazy covid pharmacy protocols has opened our eyes to who is Really controlling the medical world. Doctors are just their well paid puppets.

[@gazels11]

These are wonderful success stories. How wonderful! I have heard this time and time again. I have a very similar story. Living a low carb life style is life changing. The proper human diet actually to coin Dr. Berry.

[@meggarstang6761]

The host doesn't interrupt - really appreciate being able to hear what the guest has to say. Host's excellent questions add so much to the value of this podcast.

[@helendillard7784]

Yes, Bret Scher is quite the gentleman, a great host and facilitator!

[@janetanked6288]

I agree. If your only contribution to the low carb community as a Dr is telling your own story or opinion over and over again stop using the honorific.

Kudos for Dr. Wolver's tip-of-the-hat to Dr. Westman (Duke University). He is one of the least (KZbin) subscribed low carb doc's yet who has been at it for over 20 years with his totally no nonsense advise.

[@lovingitonketo]

I love how you find Doctors to talk about these problems. She has a wealth of information and thanks again for the great video, very informative.

[@boondoggle4820]

I love how she mentioned that the harder she tried at “eat less, move more” the more weight she slowly gained, and how the standard advice helped a total of 2 patients lose weight in over 20 years and 1 gained it back, and how on the other hand 17 out of 18 patients that she had lost weight on keto. So for that 1 person the standard advice may have been the better way to go, but for that 17 out of 18, low carb was more effective. Scientists may not understand all the mechanisms of why this works for many people, though apparently not all people, but I’d encourage you to prioritize salvaging your quality of life instead of letting the CICO crowd discourage you while trying to prove that they’re “right”. Years can be wasted and you’re life can be passed by while they’re waiting to learn the precise mechanisms and for them to be able to prove that they’re right. My only concern is whether it works for me, and you don’t have to argue them down in order to try it for yourself if the standard advice has failed for you.

Insulin is the anabolic hormone. It's there to store energy and mass. It makes sense that "stomach stuffers" like fiber, saturated fat, resistant starch, and no-insulin boosting foods that catabolizing fats becomes much easier. Less appetite and frequency of wanting to eat leads to less eating.

[@NourishmentMindset]

Another terrific episode and with a doctor on the front lines of metabolic dysfunction!

[@cattleprods911]

Really smart, and very humble doctors here. I'm in my 50s, healthy, but switched to keto + OMAD just because of the rumble on-line, with friends, family. Wow, what a change for the better.

[@jerrihammer666]

i have been doing this for 14 years and lost 85 lbs. i would like to loose 20 lbs yet, but be happy with 10! i use to do Dr. Atkins, but so many people would think i was going to drop over from a heart attack :-)

[@MsElke11]

It's nice to hear a doctor who can humbly admit that whatever she was taught in med school was wrong. My doctors are too lazy to relearn new methods.

[@birgitk6518]

I have been on a keto diet (some carb cheating in between) and this is my favorite way of eating with intermittent fasting! I have never stick with something so passionately and easily, it makes fasting also so much easier and I an growing muscles as crazy. I didn’t do it even during many years while going to gym and now I ams just seeing my veins coming out and more more muscular. I feel sooo good and so light!! Like it has to be the best diet 😊I don’t crave carbs and sugar at all!

[@rebeccaarcher5139]

We are at 2 years Carnivore diet (for me) and 1 1/2 years (for my Type 1 diabetic hubby). He told me yesterday, “My sugar was SO high this morning! It was 199!” That indeed WAS high for him now, but I celebrated remembering his yo-yo swings from the 40’s up to 500+ and back down and up again ALL the time!!! His insulin use is down by 2/3’s or 1/2 depending on the day! (Poor Big Pharma.) His energy is way up! We are both the right weight! I don’t go to sleep at night wondering if he is still going to be here in the morning! Yes, one day one of us will die, but it won’t be because his diabetes was out of control! Lifestyle changes made a huge difference for us and YT Videos like this one changed our world!!!

[@charlieanstey9998]

This sounds a lot like the experience of Dr. David Unwin in England. Very energizing for the doctor.

[@lucyburr5516]

Very true. I live alone, but often eat out with friends. At first they teased me and/or expressed concern but came around when they saw that I was feeling so much better.

Thank you for what you do, I’m back to a healthy BMI after years of struggle. I don’t have any intention of going back to the standard food pyramid diet. The bad and often ancient science presented as settled fact in the field of nutrition is really astonishing to me.

[@chazwyman8951]

The main barrier to follwing a diet program is likely to be how they live at home; their family ; the temptations of the food that their family members eat in front of them. Family support is really important.

hmm 48:00 I agree, the GP's here wont let go of the high cholesterol part, it is so entrenched. Our doctors here in Australia are petrified of saturated fats because of this, and will not support what I'm doing. Also after watching Michael Mosely's latest show on Australian TV the last 3 weeks, he is singing the praises of low carb, but he is still saying that obesity is a cause of diabetes, and not a symptom of metabolic disease. He says if they do this low carb, low cal diet, they will lose weight and control their blood sugar. But I know from experience what low carb AND low cal will do to someone's metabolism. I worry about the chances of them going into starvation mode and a VERY high chance of them regaining the weight in a couple years. For some reason he didn't introduce intermittent fasting to them, even though that's his thing, and I"m sure he included it to control his own diabetes. He really didn't discuss cholesterol either, so he is still hanging on to it, I believe that is what his low calorie is about. Also he didn't mention the increase in diabetes with the people in japan or other Asian countries, he just said world wide, but they are something special if they don't have the weight increase the other parts of the world do, or why their rice based diets are suddenly causing them grief with insulin resistance.

[@brendaandrandyking4126]

Dr Jason Fung videos point out that all severely obese ...600 lbs etc ....patients who get that gastric bypass operation are cured.....cured you hear.....in two weeks after their bypass they are still very fat after two weeks but insulin resistance diabetes cured.....cause of eating low calorie and other things then the body will burn off liver fat and pancreatic fat first!!!!!!T hen this makes everything fall into place for healing they get off all their insulin

[@MsTony1402]

I reversed my T2 diabetes with very low carb (a1c now 5.2 without any meds for past two years). Lowered BMI from 43 to 31 but have now been on weight loss plateau for over a year. I’ve never been as low as 20g carbs (more like 45g net carbs or even a bit more but only from low carb veg ie not processed food). Is the only way to lose the rest of the weight by going down to 20g carbs? I really struggle when I only get a tiny amount of veggies...

[@fredsmit3481]

If you want better data, I recommend measuring ketones. People in ketosis have much less cravings than people not in ketosis. Just because someone is on a so-called "keto" diet, they may not be in ketosis and therefore not on a real keto diet. If they produce measurable ketones then they are on a keto diet. Knowing whether or not they are in ketosis it will provide a lot higher quality data. I think you will find that the people that are not in ketosis will not stick to the diet as long as people in ketosis.

Get FAT ADAPTED!!!. When you are burning body fat, you are not likely to get hungry, since your body is supplying the energy you need from ketones.

[@wingabouts]

I'm skeptical of what this Dr. is saying. Her own weight came off "miraculously" after trying keto. Her hunger went away and her cravings stopped. Why? That's how our bodies work. Insulin drives hunger and cravings. I had the same great experience with keto. What I don't understand is why she turns around and puts her patients on life-long drugs. If she wants to know why people are quitting her practice, I'd say to her that the never-ending pill cycle is at the heart of it. That, and being told you're too weak-minded to do this on your own so we'll be meeting monthly for the rest of your life! No one wants that.

[@Tyrannocaster]

I guess we watched different videos then. No idea how you got that, but obviously your Jump To Conclustions Mat works great. At 13:35 she refutes your argument about her approach: "My goal is to get them off of medications as soon as possible". If some people require continuation, sorry that goes against your idea of her approach, but btw, are you a doctor yourself?
