You're spot on, he is truly brilliant

Dr. Robert Lustig for Nobel Prize! Unfortunately he doesn’t need the background music! He’s voice is healing. Genuine master class🙏🏾

[@Lunggirl]

America needs to embrace what Dr Lustig is saying! Go Dr Lustig!!!!

[@celinemartinez7831]

I agree! I got on s program that essentially facilitates the change in eating. Dr. Lustig reaffirms and helps me understand why these choices work. I'm 67 and the best health in decades.

[@henrikarboejensen812]

This is the finest youtube video i have ever seen. Utter brilliance.

[@Soltech144]

One of THE BEST videos!!! I love the simple breakdown of everything. As an EMT, part of our care is to educate patients and their families and I love doing that. When I explain to them on simple terms, most people are blown away and tell me why doesn’t my doctor explain this to me!! And then I also explain why and how health system works (not health CARE).

[@SunnnySiideUpp]

How do we get this added to basic school curriculum?? Seems like knowing how the body works should be something we master as part of the core curriculum since we all have to maintain one.. THANK YOU Dr. LUSTIG for this!! Will be sharing this and keep them coming. You have a way of making complex things make sense and it never gets old.

[@moi_w_]

Why is there music playing in the background? Sounds like my local spa. I want to listen to the talk, not tinkly music.

[@4thatvoice]

Dr. Lustig is one of the clearest teachers in America. He is a joy to watch. He changed my life with that first video years ago, and I have been his student ever since that day. I am forever grateful for his brilliant and clear explanations of the endocrinology behind metabolic syndrome. They are truly life changing!

[@pd8505]

Remarkable commentary. Worth every minute.

[@leewillis9311]

There are few medical professionals of the calibre of Dr Lustig... thank for this fabulous lecture. Truly brilliant and full of fantastic information 👏🏾

[@derpina615]

One of the best videos on KZbin. THANK YOU 😭

[@cassieoz1702]

From my reading, much of what he says about fibre is based in mechanistic hypothesis (ie 'common sense') rather than evidence and disregards all the people with IBS who improve dramatically on low/no fibre diets

[@chicomarie1]

I have listened to many of your talks, and this is the best summation of all your other talks combined! Thank you for breaking most of it down to layman's terms. I will recommend this to others.

[@randydookheran7878]

Hands down the best comprehensive, concise to the sections discussion, and it's the most applicable lecture ever on metabolism. Dr. Lustig is pure knowledge and for those who understand the science, they will be transformed after this session.

After feeling overwhelmed listening to several hours of the true health oracle; Dr. Robert Lustig's videos and podcasts, your amazing summary was just what I needed. Thank you so much! 👏

20% of ppl are intolerant to any form of plant (many don't know ). Autoimmune conditions are often remedied by eliminating plants entirely ...e g. a carnivore diet .

Great info. Hv read your book and am following your channel regularly. Appreciate the work you've done, not just for USA, but the world!

[@timsmith3689]

Tons of respect for Dr Lustig, who has been a trailblazer in the field. However I do think he overcooks the role of fiber a bit too much. Invariably people with severe gut issues (Crohns, ulcerative colitis etc) do much better on a low fiber or no fiber diet, which should pique our attention. Certainly those on keto, ketovore or carnivore don't miss the fiber also. Instead of worrying so much about feeding an expected 'normal' type of microbiome, how about just change the microbiome that you have, by eating a certain way? There's plenty of butyrate to be had in keto - carnivore devotees. And invariably those on low carb diets, once adapted, find that their bowels have never been better.

[@nevillegoddard4966]

@@timsmith3689 Yes Tim, you're SPOT ON! We don't need ANY fibre, & on this subject Lustig is full of shit!

Dear Dr Casey, if you read comments, I wanted to thank you. ❤ And tell you that in Spain the "normal" glucose maximum is up 105 ml/dL. I have 101 and according to Spanish medicine I'm fine! My doctor didn't say a word. So now I'm searching for a laboratory to do the fasting insuline. It's a challenge. Thanks to you I discovered I'm prediabetic. 😢

[@user-sc9ch4od5m]

Yet another brilliant video from Dr.Robert Lustig. Ketogenic Diet response to Beta Cells that have been stored with lots of insulin for going low carb and Beta Cells waiting to secrete the same is something new from the usual videos of Dr.Robert Lustig. Hope there is an elaborate video on this topic of Unused Beta Cells and it's insulin. Does the unused Alpha Cells do the same with the release of Glucagon when we go on fasting if not starving? Please consider a detailed video on the topic of Ketogenic and Low Carbohydrate Diet and it's effect on the unused Beta Cells and it's insulin. Thank You Dr.Robert Lustig.

[@TheWolfox911]

I would absolutely love to hear one on this topic. So many are going keto for a while and then moving to carnivore as their body permits. I have never seen such results from 99.9% of people be 500% so positive on their health. From cancer to pcos to depression to b/p to fibro to simple will to live. Not better. But 110% well of it all!! Try Dr Carlson, Dr Berry, @glucosegoddess with podcasts that are mind blowing. Started my non-verbal autistic daughter and son with CP and ADHD and within 3 days I seen positive results. Who knew??? Apparently all but me lol. Awesome Dr here with knowledge to back it all up and to understand!! Good Health to all!! ❤❤❤

[@vlastajurcak2585]

His is a real treasure!

[@johnbeenen2765]

Wow that is quite a complex package of knowledge mostly centred on insulin and how the body uses it. The measuring of Insulin continuously with CGM is important but hard to visualize. Examples from actual devices and plots showing spikes and plateaus would be helpful.

Excellent simply superb👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻🙏🏻

As a RN this guy is the only dr in the world making any sense of the obesity pamdemt

[@firstlast1732]

I beg to differ we don’t need three meals and since that’s what causes the spikes since nobody’s eating perfect we obviously don’t need three meals use your brain a little more

[@marielomboy4645]

if only we can show this to elementary, high school as part of food science subject, my kids will think about eating fast food or processed food😊

[@CashMoneyMoore]

Masterclass

[@CooperKoepp]

One more thing to consider about Beta cell production of insulin is the beta cells do not store insulin on hand for release if you are eating low-carb to zero carb. The reason for this is efficiency. If you're fasted and you're insulin level is low after about 12 to 15 hours the insulin storage for the first release of insulin during a carb meal begins to break down. If you're not eating carbs this is the reason why that meal will show a longer duration of elevated glucose level because there isn't the insulin storage on hand and the beta cells have to go to work to start producing insulin. This is natural normal and is in alignment with the way our biology functions. If it's not used it's eliminated or reduce to minimum capacity.

[@auroraramirez3722]

Thanks a lot

[@rjmclean1979]

Education here is spot on, unfortunately the majority of people lack the will power to make the changes they need to improve their health. If Will power could be put into a pill or be taught this would solve the problem but ultra processed food is too accessible and palatable for the majority of people to resist. Fortunately I have good restraint and I've learned to control what I eat better, although it's a daily battle

[@TRUTHorSTFU]

Thanks for this extended and informative talk by Dr. Lustig. However, why INFANTILIZE us with your that background music! Kids and teens are NOT LISTENING to these kinds of AMAZING LECTURES! We who ARE listening are adults WITH an actual attention span. WE DO NOT NEED THE BACKGROUND MUSIC. It is TOTALLY DISTRACTING and gets in the way of Dr. Lustig's priceless message.

This is why 14 years ago using Weight Watchers to learn how to choose wiser foods & portion control....I lost 92 pounds!!
