​@@heatherotte4888Kids need mental health support more now than ever, especially when Feeling pressured to change the sex they were born with. More support is needed to accept ourselves as we are instead of surgically altering ourselves to fix our feelings, thoughts or emotions. Regardless of gender the bigger picture is that animal protein and fat are healthy and essential. Adolescents girls and boys too have been undereating and malnourished for far too long. Prescription drugs and franken food are a package deal that can be avoided if we eat sensibility as nature intended. TY for sharing and creating awareness to improve and maintain our health and our families 🤍🙏🏼 God Bless

This was a great conversation; very informative. Thank you. I disagree strongly on the point of strengthening the power of the FDA. 2020/2021 showed us too much government agency corruption and overreach. The FDA was a major culprit. We need less government regulation and more access to information.

I saw Dr Bright on another interview for the first time 2 weeks ago. She talked about how sometimes the body needs to heal more before you can lose weight. My aim for weight loss had been stalled for ages. Nothing helped. I was firstly keto (10 years) and recently carnivore- both on OMAD and IF 16/8 -20/4 also for ages in an attempt to lose. Nothing, zip, nada. I realised my body has been in flight/fight mode most of my life due to narcissists in my family & 2 x20yr abusive relationships. I followed Dr Bright’s advice. Added a small meal at 11am of mostly animal fat, some protein and a snack of fat around 2pm. My main meal is b/w 5-6pm. My weight has started to drop, slowly but definitely! I’m down one kilo so far and dropping. Feel sooo much better too. So happy. Love this WOE!! Thank you Dr Bright you’re a lifesaver! (I’m post menopausal & about to turn 64)

Added Lugol’s 3 weeks ago. Sleeping like a rock. The first time I tried carnivore I couldn’t sleep, and so I quit. This time, I believe the Lugol’s is making a huge difference. Much more relaxed and less anger with my kids, stress, etc. Amazing stuff.

I’m glad that several years ago my gynecologist told me to take iodine. I also used to crave butter (before going carnivore).

I would love to have someone talk about those of us women who have had hysterectomy. Either partial or total. No one talks about when you no longer have the organs that produce the hormones you so badly need. If you can't produce them, how do we get the hormones we need!!

[@nannygirlkc]

I had a hysterectomy and oophorectomy, but when I was being tested to participate in a drug study, they didn't believe me because I had some great hormones going on. There are other organs that make hormones. I have never taken hormone replacement therapy or had hot flashes.

[@brendaneill1209]

I agree, adrenals produce hormones after menopause. I too have had oophorectomy (left) that left me with one functioning ovary that struggles to keep up. I would love someone to address hormone production before menopause

Your body will produce the hormones in other ways. It’s not just the ovaries that do it.

I also wanted to share that Dr. Bright is always a power packed podcast with a wealth of eye opening 👀 knowledge that I resonate with. It can be overwhelming and take a minute to absorb but it's worth noting not every female can implement her approach immediately but we can start implementing gradually to get there. I can start supplementing with Lugols iodine daily for example, but still trying to figure out the mineral salt daily requirements in place of prepared electrolytes. I can start eating more red meat while I figure out where to get tallow ?

[@NutritionwithJudy]

Start with diet. Fuel the body and allow it to heal. Higher fat will be a less stress with minimal carbs that can stimulate more cortisol production. Eat the fat levels you can tolerate. In terms of beyond that, figure out the source of trauma and find a specialist and learn to let go. However and whatever way that is for you (and only You’ll know that answer) (For me, it was a lot of God and scripture reading). Finally, consider environmental factors, if there are endocrine disruptors and hormone impactors or even toxins in the home, they cause adrenal impacts. ❤️‍🩹

This was really interesting. I got diagnosed hypothyroid and put on medication 11 years ago at age 25. I had some childhood trauma. It makes sense that stimulants are too much for me. Caffeine makes me tired. Anyways, when I went on carnivore 2.5 weeks ago I felt good at first but lately I've been so very low energy and very anxious. I was afraid to try iodine being on meds, but I do feel like I am already hyperthyroid only 2.5 weeks in and have wondered if I should go off my thyroid meds. I'm going to get labs checked first but this is helpful. I probably need to be less stimulated by constant podcasts and phone use and give up the Caffeine and add fat. ❤

I don’t agree that the alteration of hormones and media pressures at an early age has no influence over sexuality. We know that contraceptives cause women to choose mates who are more feminine because the hormones running through them are those of a pregnant women, who naturally seeks a safer environment. Some women get off the pill to get pregnant with their husband and are no longer attracted to them. Why wouldn’t there be an affect in this instance as well?

[@NutritionwithJudy]

I have many thoughts on this too. I gave Dr. Bright the floor and focused on the bigger topics we were going to discuss.

But I think her conversation about non binary was about sexual preference and not identity unless I misunderstood her.

Iodine supplementation is essential as our daily shield to prevent anxiety & depression. Fat and red meat balance blood sugar and stabilize cortisol. Animal fat is our friend not foe.

What do you consider high fat? Specifically for 38 yo female wanting to lose 30+ lbs? I followed Maria Emmerich’s PSMF Keto approach and had the absolutely easiest time losing weight ever and finally reached my goal weight. I was averaging 1350 cal per day hitting about 120-140 g of protein, less than 90 g of fat, and under 20-40 g carbs. I was also walking outside for 45-75 min per day. I switched from weight-loss calories to maintenance calories and started to add resistance training to increase my lean mass. I basically increased my fat intake. My family moved to a new house (brand new construction) around the same time and I started having worsening digestive issues. I discovered that our well water had high uranium so we now use an AquaTru for all drinking water. Two years later, I am 35# heavier and about to have surgery for endometriosis with possible bowel involvement. I was diagnosed with anemia at my pre-op appointment and have received two units of blood and 2 iron infusions. I take compounded thyroid hormone and LDN for autoimmune disorders. Looking for any feedback as I’m feeling pretty discouraged at this point. PS I have seen a functional medicine practitioner off and on for the past 8 years and have done all of the treatments: SIBO, HPA Axis dysfunction, clostridium overgrowth, DUTCH Test to address hormone imbalances, parasite cleanse/CELLCORE products, etc.

They usually say 70-80% of calories from fat.

[@andreab616]

Judy has a great video called something like, How much to eat on a carnivore diet. Also, as the other person commented, high fat is in the 70+% range. I think Judy recommends around 75% whereas Dr. Bright starts people off around 80% if they have lots of healing to do. All the best to you on your journey back to health!

[@NutritionwithJudy]

I’m very sorry to hear. There’s a lot you Shared that it’s difficult to say what your root cause is but I’d never ever recommend drinking well water without a filter. A lot of our clientele fight us on this but without first testing, it’s not safe and I frankly don’t trust any sources nowadays with how much crap we put in our soils, air and water. Endometriosis is often related to insulin resistance so make sure to test for metabolic syndrome. I’m sorry this is all happening. High fat-depends on person. I’d go with where you are with hormones, weight and much more. Then based on your current fat intake, I’d up it to see if you have improvements. If that helps it may be enough. Not everyone has to eat 75% or 80% in terms of total calories. But more than the weight, get to root cause of why all these things are occurring. ❤️‍🩹

[@alefept]

@@NutritionwithJudy thank you for responding! I believe that I may have had the endometriosis since early adolescence. I either thought it was normal to have heavy painful periods or it was temporarily made better by pregnancy or a short stent with hormonal birth control. I think I’ve continued to have signs of it but it’s been masked by poor gut health and autoimmune symptoms as I would always get a little better with functional medicine treatments but my gut issues would never fully go away. Having the laparoscopic surgery is basically me taking a shot in the dark because I’m unsure what else it could be. I’m curious if endometriosis goes so long w/o being diagnosed (I’ve been told I’m fairly old for finding it), that it could require more than diet to manage due to the tissues ability to develop their own nerve supply. I have a hard time believing that I have metabolic syndrome because I have been keto/low carb for 5+ years and my A1C has tested good ever since. I saw where Dr Paul Mason had a client w/ anemia who struggled on a low carb diet to lose weight. I’m praying that having surgery will help get my hemoglobin and other blood levels back up (ie find the source of my bleeding) and I will start losing weight again…and get my health and life back.

I’ve read that in some cases, iodine keeps people up.

[@NutritionwithJudy]

Yes it can stimulate energy. We recommend only taking iodine until afternoon or just morning

[@ana.b495]

Is it safe to take iodine after hysterectomy?

[@brandi6591]

I take it and am fine

[@melissanative1799]

If you are on Armour you do not need to supplement with iodine right?

[@prunelle19]

I started taking 2 drops of iodine as you recommanded but i add a bit of apple cider vinegar to the glass of water for a better taste,, is it ok ? Also does living by the sea and swimming in seawater can supply iodine?

[@suzannepurple]

Iodine should be taken on empty stomach with only water and also not eating anything one hour after taking iodine. Thats how body can absorb iodine optimally

[@YeshuaKingMessiah]

Low fat high carb also ROTS teeth from inside out Dental hygiene can be en pointe and it doesn’t matter. U can’t outbrush a carb filled diet. NO WAY

I previously had hyperthyroidism and was told not to take iodine. My thyroid levels have been normal for 2 years now. Would it be safe for me to take iodine?

[@KayMartin-u9v]

I dealt with hyperthyroidism with bugle weed and lemon balm I then did salt protocol and Selenium and got right on to iodine It made me feel amazing

Would like to know how to come off a fast with food intake ? Do you stay the same or gradually or with fat only ?

[@YeshuaKingMessiah]

If it’s longer than 36 hrs u need to wake up ur GI tract. Start with some protein, not rly fatty. Hardboiled eggs are great, meat broth, or some cheese. I wait then another hr. I eventually eat fattier foods but I go over 3-4 hrs, eating little n waiting. Otherwise, you just dump it all, it goes in the toilet. What a waste of food.

[@ed8939]

Kind regards appreciate that thank you

Dr Bright hates fasting fyi She accepts only fat fasting Smart woman…

I do a 136 hour fast once a month for two years now. I end the fast with 3-5 scrambled eggs in butter. Two hours later eat 1/3 - 1/2 pound bacon. Then straight back to carnivore until the next months fast. This is the way. I bet my soul on it.

[@LA-so4qz]

Sex is binary. If you go to any aboriginal tribe they will laugh at you if you say otherwise. They know that there is only a man and a woman. I like Dr. Bright but her assessment of the whole binary thing and thinking that current culture has no influence on people's identity is way off.

[@_Solaris]

M'thinks she has swallowed the koolaid. Even carnivores can't escape wokeism, apparently.

[@lizwarner5392]

Completely agree

[@sbebermeyer1076]

Agreed! 💯

[@henghistbluetooth7882]

Sex organs are binary. Human beings are systems that include both the sex organs and the mind. A person may have the sexual characteristics of one but the mental picture of another. Those people deserve support and understanding. What about aborigines. Aborigines also believed that the stars are campfires in the sky.

[@devorahrose782]

Thats not what my indigenous elders have said. Teo spirit people have been in every traditional tries stories, at least thise ive been connected with. I currently study with indigenous south american people who also have a pkace for" two spirits" in the traditional community. They are largely unrouched by western society and live as theyve lived for thousands of years. I understand that the current political climate around sexuality is combative and bizarre, but saying we " believe" something about indigenous cultures and actually looking at the ancient stories passed down and the application of sexual mores in harmonious indigenous cultures

[@dawnkennedy9576]

I really wanted to go further on the fat subject….we store our toxins in our fat…so when we are losing weight on keto/ carnivore , and one does not have a very strong lymphatic system ( as I do) one can get very sick . I recently learned I have lipodemea which just recently through Stanford is recognized as a lymphatic disorder. What are your suggestions on helping the body release toxics with out getting to sick . kzbin.info/www/bejne/bmrWm4Ogn82cjac Also can you please bring Dr.Darren Schmidt on your show?

[@lizalim1559]

If the toxins are in the fat, maybe it makes sense to eat grain finished animals, lower fat, and adding in butter to get to the desired macros.

[@olgakuchukov6981]

Grain finished are higher fat

[@rootsroots1211]

Hello Dr.s, i ended up hypothroid after 4yrs of strict keto.before i was tested for it i suffered miscarriages x2,weight gain hairloss. Today im on 550mg of levnothyeroxine. I hate it.

Thank you in advance to reply

[@rootsroots1211]

Now hrt is available bioidentical. I went through early menopause after 10 years of health problems before using the hrt patch. The dr is a well known dr who helps women with hormones for all kinds of hormone problems. My bones were already having problems. I’m thankful I got relief but drs won’t treat for iodine deficiency except with animal made medications which is being changed constantly. Lugols is a natural iodine so why isn’t this prescribed more?. Iodine deficiency is affecting everyone. The iodine does protect our body but other medications given is causing health problems even if you eat properly. This is doing more harm to humans than anything. Including dementia. Insulin resistance is causing so many problems now even in children. Our food is processed and the organic foods is being compromised. The powers in charge have control of all aspects of our lives by making us dependent on them at an early age. Generations has passed on the need to go to just a drug designed doctor treating to the medicine even if it causes more damage. The virus woke up the people to see what’s happening.

[@TheMJT515]

What is the test for iodine called?

[@NutritionwithJudy]

[@karenfarrell6158]

What about meat consumption and the well-being of the planet? Plant eaters/ pescatarians live far longer with less major diseae. My family has been long lived, all in there 90s, one aunt 106 with no pharmaceuticals and no surgical interventions. Fats have been from omega 3s and olive oil. I do agree with the need for iodine.

[@am-xk3xs]

are flax seeds Okay if you are in menopause and have been tested and have zero estrogen

[@jackieh2499]

Should you take iodine if you have graves?
