He is absolutely right about exercise and memory. At 52 and being sedentary for about 20 years with a terribly diet, I began exercising every single day and began eating only a healthy diet. Painfully and slowly I worked up to running 7 days a week and my memory recall has steadily improved. I have not skipped a day of exercise in a year, next goal is 1000 days without missing a day of running.

[@MrBlodhund]

This is great man. But you shouldn’t tun everyday. It makes your stress levels go up and decreases you testosteron levels and fucks up your Body. Start meditating. Meditation meditation meditation! :) Don’t stop running, just not everyday. Do the research my friend. Keep it up! :)

Real wisdom. Giving up sugar and refined carbohydrates about 15 years ago was the best thing I ever did for myself. People don’t want to believe it’s true because you pretty much have to buy whole ingredients and cook for yourself to truly get away from it. And stop eating out all the time. Processed food is garbage. People need to really start learning how to read a food label and they will see. Fast food restaurants and grocery stores are deadly. It all adds up in a day and they’re slipping little amounts into everything.

@@daisy1441 I did it progressively but I did it wrong in hindsight and would have done it differently knowing what I know now. I would get “sugar free” things to eat to satisfy urges but later learned that’s another hustle all in itself. Most things labeled that aren’t your friend either and are just labeled to look like they are. Full of sucralose, sugar alcohols, etc. which you can find studies on these that link them to killing healthy gut/intestinal flora and causing digestive and other eating disorders. Over time I just finally gave up my sweet tooth because I don’t really have the cravings anymore but if I was going to do it again I would have gotten creative in the kitchen with sweeteners like stevia extract or monk fruit, and almond flour if I was baking. I haven’t read negative health information about these sweeteners.

I too quit sugar 3 days ago, it was like an epiphany. I've been wanting to do it for years. I remember watching Sharny and Julius(training program) talking about the biggest culprits when it came to sabotaging a diet and training and sugar of course was one of them. They then said, they couldn't afford to do that cheat day or cheat meal, they simply couldn't and had been much happier since they didn't allow themselves that cheat. It made the following days harder to stay focused on the goals, cravings were back etc. And it hit me. I decided to quit sugar like a smoker quits smoking, like an alcoholic quits drinking. I can't have just one and I know it. I cried on Thursday, I felt scared and at the same time resolute. It's for the best. I wish you success and health. It won't be easy all the time but so worth it. Take care! ❤

@RusaForever no your wrong. Vegans can't survive on that diet. You literally have to eat multiple bowls for one serving. Also you cannot sustain body without supplements of vitamins, fish, eggs, and meat. Your d@m brain is literally made up of cholesterol, so yeah we need it and your focus on cholesterol is wrong. It is the lack of vitamin C&D that regulate the body ability to absorb calcium properly, which is why without vitamins you will calcify your arteries with plaque and also our bodies are very lacking in magnesium wich balance the other minerals and the human body cannot store, so it needs magnesium all the time. There are few vegetarian foods that are actually having nutrients, which is spinach.

Hi

[@samuelreiter6412]

Dr. Barry Sears talked about inflammation after his Zone Diet fame.

[@tracywatts1459]

This is crazy! I worked in dementia care settings for 25 years of my life. I’m shocked at how true this is in regards to dementia and exercise. Once a patient gets placed in care after disease decline is no longer manageable at home. I see the rapid I mean RAPID decline in cognitive function that may be due to placement. Once your in that jail you no longer have adequate access to exercise in placement. I have seen stroke patients develop secondary dementia and now have a greater understanding of why the risk of developing probably doubles after stoke and other conditions that leave patients in a sedentary state whom at prior would not have any other biological or hereditary risk for this disease. Also depression. We know the factors between exercise and depression. 90 % of all my new residents in care within 6 months of placement end up on anti depressants. Oh I could go on. I’ve been fascinated with the topic of dementia for nearly 30 years. I’m Canadian west coast. I could carry on about how TOXIC the diets are in long term care as well. Lots of horror stories to share.

The last two year, I had become greatly addicted to sugar. I decided one month ago to go raw vegan since I had already done it for a few years and it did good to my body. I was aiming to heal my body. More so the fact that I had severe acid reflux and it had done so much damage that I now had asthma symptoms, ear pain, sore throat, and was basically very sick for more than one month. This scared me so much knowing I was responsible for this just by eating so much sugar! I now see a huge difference by eating good food. My brain is thanking me every day. I feel vibrant, no longer in a daze, the acid reflux is almost gone and the coughing is rare and no longer constant. Food can be our friend or our enemy and the addiction to sugar or bad fat is so destructive.

[@NikKaussFlies]

sugar is excellent for your health. I promise. look into the work of Dr. Ray Peat. If you don't eat sugar your body is going to take it from wherever it can get it =bones, muscles... Your brain and liver function on glucose. What you feel when going vegan is a major cortisol spike and a reduction in symptoms due to your immune system being shut down by the abundance of polyunsaturated fats that are prevalent in a vegan diet. I don't mean to rain on your parade but for whatever reason, I felt compelled to write you this. Remember sugar and high fructose corn syrup act pretty differently in the body. If you want to listen to some podcasts about all of this look up Danny Roddy. He interviewed Dr. Peat a lot. Also, you can read a lot of Peat's articles by just looking him up. Anyway, I wish you the best.

"Grain Brain" is so factually incorrect it is dangerous. All anecdotes and no real science. This article exposes the real truth behind the Dr Perlmutter. Lots of lies and nonsense to sell products and books. And people believe him!!!! Ugh.

@Fred Rogers and a different drying process. We use roundup 5 times sprayrd to dry it and its genetically modified to resist roundup and kill the crap out of the flora .. But humans habe not evolved in the 10000 years since they started earing grains. I know egyptians had very round bellies and had worn down teeth because of wheat.

This doctor is amazing. Thank you so much for posting. My brother died in June with dementia and one of the problems I've noticed with him and sadly a couple of other people I know with dementia is they are addicted to sugar. When he was still living on his own he pretty much would only buy cookies, ice cream, sodas. Once he even tried to walk to the store to buy junk food and fell and was lucky one of his neighbors found him and took him home. I can't believe how they put sugar in everything, it's like they want everyone to be sick.

[@chandrikadas9163]

[@AmyLeeAngelLove]

It's because he is buying junk food... not eating healthy fruit. High fat diets and heavy metals comes into play as well.

[@matticus6339]

@@AmyLeeAngelLove Fruits are not healthy, yes they have more vitamins and minerals sure, but they are loaded with natural sugar, your body doesn't know the difference between fructose from a fruit or corn syrup from a soda, both cause blood sugar to shoot up and then body has to dump insulin, leave the fruit alone or have just a very small amount of berrries here and there.

I doubt it was the sugar and more likely to be the "fortified" flour and all of the canola oil and high fructose corn syrup in those things you mentioned. Sugar gets a bad rap for what other nefarious food stuffs are doing

An amazing, fascinating interview. Dr Perlmutter is in my top 3 favourites. Tom, great questions and thank you for listening so well, you are the best.

[@2sistersbychoice676]

Yes Ernest, from my perspective all of this matches what I have learned in 64 years of life, living, and watching people not live well. AND, when I myself have felt better than other times. Exercise: if you don't use it you lose it; and, what you keep nourished "well" is different for each person. That is why the saying, Physician heal thyself, is relevant, because we are the only ones that can monitor on a daily, hourly, basis what makes us feel well, and what does not. Being able to measure all of these things can be mimicked with journaling, and speaking with a skilled nutritionist, MD who has studied nutrition (because they all have not), or other informed healthcare provider. Did not mean to come in and speak this long. It is just a very important aspect for whether or not all the Coaching I give people is sustainable is whether or not they are well enough to commit to being able to achieve their goals....ergo, support groups. Be well everyone.

[@buddyringo21]

I’ve been on the ketogenic diet for 191 days now , I did this because I have fatty liver and learned that the keto diet allows your body to burn fat for fuel instead of glucose and in doing so it will reverse fatty liver . Since then my blood sugar went from 177 to 91 ( measured at 1 hr after dinner), my A1c from 6.1 to 5.5 , my liver enzymes from AST =69 and ALT =121 down to AST= 27 and ALT =33 , my total cholesterol was 191 and now 174 , my BP is now at 124/80 without my BP meds ( I was hypertension165/96) ( I’m supper excited to get off those drugs! 😁) also my weight is down from 209 to 179 all this and I’m 55 years old and drank alcohol most my life . I decided to let alcohol go and life a healthy vibrant life from here on . Keto may not be for everyone but it damn sure works for people with insulin resistance and high blood glucose or are pre-diabetic like I was . Great video , thank you Dr ! 😁✌️🇺🇸

How did you go off your BP meds? I am losing a lot of weight IF/keto but afraid to stop taking the BP meds.

[@buddyringo21]

@@dmmcmah1 I took a chance , I didn’t tell my Dr as he rolls his eyes at my decision to embrace a ketogenic diet for my health. I am currently prescribed two BP meds ( lasartan and norvasc) I have a BP machine to check my BP daily I have been wanting to get off all meds however in the past they surly helped drop my BP . Recently I noticed getting light headed during work and was concerned so I switched up some foods, drinks etc to no relief, then I noticed my BP lower than normal so I decided to skip days then I noticed I was only light headed when I took my meds . So while monitoring my BP twice a day I stopped taking my BP meds and my light headedness hasn’t returned and my BP is 121/74 so I will continue with what is working, I will tell my Dr what I did my next visit as it seems he wouldn’t believe the ketogenic diet is what really helping me even though my blood work is stellar after 5 months of ketosis 😁 Please don’t take advice from me , I’m no dr ! I’m just sharing what worked for me 😁

This was great. Absolutely loved it. You ever heard the phrase "Listen to your gut". Yes, do listen to your gut. The gut is 100% connected with our brain. We truly are what we eat. When we were created we didn't have refrigerators full of food and fast food restaurants in every corner. The truth is, now days we eat too much and exercise very little. There were no cars, or any form of transportation when we were created. We are meant to look for our food, therefore, we had to exercise while looking for our food. We need to change the way we eat and need to exercise much more. Most importantly, we need to love each other. We are all one race. The Human Race.....
