Journal Club: Exploring Immune Response to Diet: Vegan vs Ketogenic | The Metabolic Link Ep. 38

[@onecompass7290]

I was vegan/veg for about 20 years. Got diabetes, very advanced insulin resistance with A1C of 10.4 and fasting insulin of 19.8! basically significant advanced metabolic syndrome: HTN, arthritis, sleep disturbance/snoring and gained 100lbs. and was diagnosed with Leukemia. Went #Carnivore and then #liondiet in April 2023. 15 months later my overall health is 1000% improved. Diabetes and metabolic syndrome gone. Leukemia mutation load reversed and now non detectable. Arthritis gone, snoring/sleep apnea gone. Insulin resistance down by 50%.

I was vegan forever and got non Hodgkin's cancer..i juiced veggies most days .. now im doing keto to have ketones and low glucose..But did i get a curable cancer due to being vegan or did i eat too many carbs eating vegan. ?im 70 so im excercising and working on my mitochondria too..I feel better though eating keto ..ive added pasture raised grass finished meat and fish and eggs..i fast 48 hours a week and intermittent fasting everyday..

@marijones7136 thanks for sharing Diagnosed Non Hodgkin’s Lymphoma WM Waldenstrom Macroglobulinemia 2011-12. Keto way of eating since 2018 saw small decrease in IGM blood numbers. 2022 prescribed zanubrutinib seeing constant decrease IGM numbers. March 2023 through March 2024 eating more keto- carnivore. 3/23-3/24 gradual weight loss of 31 lbs btw September 2023 added 72 hrs sardine challenge weekly. WM is a stubborn blood cancer 🤦🏽‍♀️

I have been eating an animal based ketogenic diet for over two years, and I haven't been ill and haven't even had a cold or flu for over two years. I did lose 30 lbs and gain a lot of energy. Besides that I believe that a diet study that only lasts two weeks per diet is way too short and basically useless.

Thank you for this summit. I am watching the dawn of a new day. 🙏

[@MetabolicHealthSummit]

We're glad you enjoyed the discussion!

[@kathya1956]

One of your videos convinced me to try allulose. What a disaster. Had huge depression. Not one to suffer of it normally. Last time I had it was when I had Covid.

[@MetabolicHealthSummit]

Oh no, we're so sorry to hear you had that experience. We hope you feel better!

[@mariejones7136]

I love allulose..Tastes like the best sugar substitute.

[@ricksikora7270]

I love it and it lowers my blood sugar.

[@LisaMaghrak]

​@@mariejones7136agree 100%

[@sabine8419]

It is best to stay away from all sweeteners.

[@jamespatrick5348]

I wonder about the benefits of a keto-vegan diet where protein is found in soy, nuts, pea protein, etc. The usual non-starchy vegetables along with hemp seed, flax, chia, etc.

[@LisaMaghrak]

Read Dr Natasha Campbell's book titled Vegetarianism Explained. She explains the difference between animal proteins/fats and plant proteins/fats and how they are utilized by the body

[@sabine8419]

Pkants are loaded with various toxins and anti- nutrients. Nutrients in plants are less absorbable, usable, and often not complete, or inadequate. Plant base diets are also lacking necessary nutrients andcmicronutrients.

Too much sales talk at start. Please work it in the middle of your video instead at start, more like Dr Huberman
