Mastering Diabetes with Dr. Cyrus Khambatta PhD

[@shdwbnndbyyt]

Funny thing was that for the first 4 years of having type 2 diabetes, I ate the recommended high carb low fat diet... and my A1C skyrocketed to over 9, despite all of the meds they put me on. Then I tried the low carb diet (few starches and sugars), and it dropped to the 5.4 to 6.3 range. And was able to get off the meds. Then I had bariatric surgery to lose weight... Since then I have cut out as many seed oils as I could, ignoring monounsaturated fats and saturated fats, as they generally pass right through me as I try to eat the protein I need daily. The fat passing through me has eliminated the constipation issues I have had for decades. As I have been able to eat more foods... without them coming back up... only ground meat, I can eat cooked peppers, onions and broccoli after several years, although most leafy veggies need blended first... forget ANYTHING fibrous or stringy. I can finally eat almonds, peanuts and walnuts -- minimal ingredients (ie dry roasted peanuts are peanuts and salt only)... I do eat unsweetened bakers chocolate...

vagus nerve was damaged with bariatric surgery. As a diabetic from childhood, the "meds they gave you" was not going to change the food addiction and stress we have.

I love peanuts but I have, like most diabetes, we have fungal problems and peanuts are 100% fungi.

I went on low carb which we were eating between 50-100 carbohydrates and my husband and I did that since 2020 and reversed diabetes in 6 months - from a1c 6.8 to a1c 5.7 and arthritis 90 % better in a year and half and we both lost 70 lbs . Then a year and 3 months ago we went to carnivore eating which is eating meat and meat products with higher animal fats so it is a ketogenic lifestyle. WithIn 2 1/2 months my husband got off of his insulin medication, He’s lost 55 more lbs and I’ve lost 10 lbs and our blood pressure is much lower and we hope to start getting off of that this next year . With carnivore the anxiety and depression and brain fog have been alleviated over 90% and we are becoming stronger and healthier and feeling better. The nerve or muscle strength in my husband’s hand came back and his hand can open jars and bottles again after 2 weeks. After 3 weeks on carnivore we began sleeping better also.

Yes but it's not the root cause of why it happens....especially when there are people who eat all the carb crap and don't get diabetes. There is more to it. Vagus nerve...look into it - Dr Ross Hauser

[@arleneblackwood835]

@ If you’re interested look up Rick the 40 year carnivore who fries heart atttack chicken to get a heart attack first years but as a young man he only ate meat and it helped him grow to about 6’5. he didn’t like sugar or vegetables he ate only meat, and is very healthy today. Look up Dr. Ken Berry a family practitioner he teaches on keto and carnivore . Also check out Dr. Chaffee’s channel, he’s been doing this for about 20 years since college and seen terrific results and healing from all diseases . And Dave Mac @ carb life who does 2 videos a day of people healing from diseases with carnivore .

[@arleneblackwood835]

@ Studies have shown that heart attacks are caused by high triglycerides and carnivore lowers triglycerides greatly. Five of our organs need cholesterol and our brain is made of cholesterol. Lee from Kent, England has a colostomy bag and when eating a regular diet he saw how his vegetables did not get digested and now as a carnivore he sees all meat gets digested. He was told to eat more and more fiber until it made him so sick he had to have a colostomy bag . Hope this helps someone.

Diabetes was a rare occurrence when people were consuming only saturated fat. Its prevalence went up after the introduction of ultra processed industrial seeds oils. How do you explain that observation?

[@tnprincess888]

Inflammation

[@rawcamino7227]

after the destruction of beta cells , from all that non oils,margarines and processed foods became "sick" , not digesting the saturated fat anymore

[@jerrywest7068]

What he is saying if you eat high carbs and high fat that's bad. True. If you eat that way all day long you are in trouble. I prefer high fat and almost no carbs. When I eat carbs glucose goes up and I'm tired. When I eat fat and protein my CGM barely moves and I am full of energy. Either way you cannot over eat or eat too often.

[@sharibaratono8363]

And then says when you eat low carb you are still insulin resistant. Why would anyone eating low carb be adapted to eating high carb?

[@jovoorheescollinsmphbsnbch6245]

vagus nerve dysfunction ...please consider Dr Ross Hauer on!

[@bernadettebecher5668]

I am wondering if some of us have fewer adipose cells ?? Those of us who are very lean/active and have almost no subcutaneus fat. Do we have individual fat (saturated fats particularly) thresholds?

[@rabka123-m8v]

Now interview Dr Ken Berry

[@pauldickinson5316]

If ffa are affecting the glut4 pathway then surely cutting out carbs which is instantly removing the insulin spikes and reducing energy intake also switching the body to run on ketones and switching the body from fat storage mode to fat burning will effectively remove the excess ffa in the cells that are causing the insulin resistance. Sugars feed bacteria, viruses, yeast and fungi so you will also be helping any inflammation caused by them. Remember a calorie eaten is not a calorie eaten because of the way that calorie is metabolised. The body uses more energy to metabolise proteins than glucose.

[@robmcguckin7605]

So, in order to keep everything in sync, keep moving and eat a balanced diet of both saturated fat and carbs because there are deficiencies in eating only both.

[@jewelleryaddict]

Did the doctors better diet help his problem with his thyroid? Great talk thanks.

[@laveraparato258]

I think that there is not one diet for everyone other than there are some things no one should eat, like seed oils, processed foods, added sugars and refined sugars, and fake sweetners.

[@Jennifer-gr7hn]

Yup! It caused some medical trauma ptsd at 11 years old, then they wonder why I have "white coat syndrome" at the doctors who I legit don't trust and it's not about liking or not like them as people, but it's that I know what their training is and is not.

Inflammation on a plant based diet will drop dramatically. My RCP is 0.8. And we all know inflammation is the mother of all the metabolic problems. Dr Been you'll not regret adopting this diet and lifestyle, I promise.

[@lessmith3799]

It can't be the case that both this guy and dr Bickman are right. This discussion strikes me as primarily polemic. Bickman gives very detailed and cogent descriptions of the biochemistry. In addition, my own N=1 experience is violently ad odds with your gurst's opinion. Add to this the profit motive, and i come away more than akeptical.

[@reneee4314]

Exactly my thoughts

[@janetgarcia3273]

I have tried both Keto and Plant based low fat. I found that I could not sustain the low amount of carbs after about 3 yrs. I was missing out on so much delicious food. I started craving summer fruits and potatoes, etc. So I switched to his diet. I read his book and watched many of his videos. Another reason to eat high carbs is to absorb all the nutrients. My red blood cells were very deficient in minerals and vitamins on the low-carb diet. I am a 73 yr old female. I started to be more concerned with getting dementia or cancer than before. I knew that I can give myself a longer healthy life without eating animal products anymore. My blood sugar is normal now. I can live without animal products the rest of my life because of all the amazing foods I can eat instead. I have been insulin resistant my ŵhole life. Thank you Cyrus.

[@arubaga]

@@janetgarcia3273 You are supposed to replace carbs with animal fats, eggs, fish, and beef. Ketone is an energy source from breakdown of fat.

What could be the consequences of regurgitating flatulence? If someone misses a fart , waits to fart, afraid to fart ect ect does not release a fart on time and the gasses stay in instead of releasing, this itself causes dyrehia

🗽 I think it is a good thing to deliver the energy either in carbohydrates or in fat. It is the idea of, we call in german, "Trennkost". .

[@Jennifer-gr7hn]

Been a nurse and patient for a long time....every organ system has been misunderstood, every "speciality" is ignorant, and it's more the meds than the disease that cause the damage (if some one is eating well, managing stress, working on anxiety, healing trauma (see Dr Gabor Mate), removing fungi, fixing c spine issues that lead to vagus nerve problems which runs through entire body...it's criminal to have such limited education from the top. Diabetes surely is the hardest of diseases...whatever you put in your mouth or not, exercise or no, stress or not, etc. It is wicked. And they knew .

[@davenockels5028]

There is cognitive dissonance here. A question: how do you raise serum triglycerides more than anything else? Answer: eat a high carb diet!! (That happens because in the presence of excess glucose in the liver, the liver produces lots of saturated fatty acids via de novo lipogenesis- the Palmitic acid that this guest hates so much) I wonder whether the REAL issue is more focussed on sustained overall excess consumption of calorific food. That would suggest fasting and more exercise would be a powerful option. If the host agrees with the guest, there are zero probing questions………… Science is about challenging a hypothesis
