In one word, brilliant. As a practising primary care physician I am kicking myself for not discovering this invaluable series of lectures way earlier. Indebted to Dr. PM.

i research over twenty low carb doctors ,,and i can tell you Dr Paul is one of the doctors at the top of my list of the best doctors in knowledge ,,makes me proud to be an aussie

My uncle was a Professor in gynaecology he used to take a lot of salt in his food., he died at the age of 97 years. Thanks for this good presentation. Watching from the Uganda.

Physicians in the United States get a few hours of Nutrition in the entirety of their educations. This Video SHOULD be REQUIRED continuing education curriculum for our Physicians!

I have been KETO/IF/OMAD for 2 years. I reversed kidney failure, came off BP meds, cured insomnia and migraines. I also consume copious amounts of Redmond's sea salt every day. Never felt better! Great presentation! Bravo!

Thank you, sir. Found out about my IR and managed to turn it around. Urged my husband to check his insulin levels, and lo and behold ... We still have time to turn his condition around, and you are to thank for it.

This is the best lecture I have ever heard that describes what is going on with at least 50% of the world population from our poor food environment. Wow this is actually better than Robert Lustigs lecture that got 6 million views. Very easy to understand.

This young doc makes a complicated topic, very understandable. Bravo 👏

He's so good at explaining/teaching without any attitude and straight away stating parameters of metabolic syndrome if everyone knew those instead of the food pyramid...... He's great at spreading the knowledge and has a great way of doing it...

Your encouragement to test insulin levels with the tolerance test has given every one a sobering percentage of their future. We were all given a glucose reading by our doctors thinking all good. We all looked at the results of the tests thinking “ALL IS OK “ Why are they not testing for insulin ???? Thanks for saving me for even more damage

I don’t understand why this knowledge hasn’t become the mainstream all over the world. I see people eating whole grains bread with “low fat” margarine and then wondering why their diet never works. I’ve been fasting in periods of 24h and 72h and the results has being impressive

Can't stop listening to this. So informative, what a great communicator. Thanks for sharing these talks with us all!

He's such a great presenter! Need more videos of Dr Mason.

Amazing talk! I used to be puzzled by the many roles of insulin. No it's all clearer. Dr Mason is an excellent public speaker.

Wow. It is no wonder so many people are diabetic. I am so upset with the doctors that we have seen that seriously couldn’t care less about us….. ugh. Thank you Dr. Mason for educating us so we can UNDERSTAND, instead of just stuffing us with pills.

What he said about Dexa scans and visceral fat mirrors my experience. I did a set of three last year. I wasn't losing much in the way of kilos, but my visceral fat melted away.

Exactly what I have done, I can relate to every part of this talk, I can prove him to be right.

So well and simply explained. The graph of blood sugar level vs insulin so simple to understand and remember.

This is an AMAZING lecture! I wish I had known this about insulin years ago. Dr. Mason really covers the major parts of the body affected by insulin resistance. He also discusses HOW they are affected by insulin, and WHY people get each of the components that make up metabolic symdrome. I never realized the role TRIGLYCERIDES play in the damage done by insulin. Triglycerides definitely play a large part in pushing metabolic symdrome along! Thank you, Low Carb Down Under for sharing this eye opening information!.

For the first time in 5 years, my heart rate has gone below 95. My last Heart rate check after mild exertion was 79 BPM. Before Carno/lacto after simply getting up to get a glass of water my BPM would jump to 100+ Ever while sitting and relaxing it never went below 90. I am now a carno/lacto adherent. I have not weighed myself in a few months. I am not yet worried about my weight. But the decrease in heart rate and blood pressure alone has concreted this WOE in my mind. The ONLY carbohydrate in my diet, is the minuscule amount I get in extra sharp cheddar and cream cheese. I have to force myself to eat. I am never hungry anymore.

This was so well done so simply taught thanks. Keto for life to live healthy.

Dr. Atkins would be so proud! His diet is a worldwide sensation now, may he Rest In Peace!

I love this presentation. I compared this to my old tests and took action with keto, IF (16:8, OMAD, and 24-72 hr periodic fasting). 65lbs down, triglycerides in half.

Something interesting - a lot of “normal weight” people have metabolic syndrome due to fat on their organs

I think he has all the current thinking on causes of inflammation > Insulin Resistance > Heart Disease. Good video!

Excellent presentation, stay on track, and showing so much hidden research of true nutrition, Gratitude Doctor Paul

This entire channel is phenomenal. Thank you.

Great communicator. Makes it very understandable.

Wow, what a great talk!

Excellent video! Thank you! Very interesting to see the charts of glucose and insulin over time.

Wow - I have to watch this one again. I'm really interested in Insulin Resistance and how to resolve it.

Absolutely excellent presentation. Demonstrating with evidence how the whole nutrition story hangs together to produce metabolic syndrome.

Excellent explanation and a great physician. Bravo!

Excellent discussion, thanks

I never got keto flu. I'm not sure I would have even noticed anyway. After feeling crappy for years, a little flu-like thing doesn't even register. lol

Fantastic presentation, thank you so much!

Amazing presentation. Thank you so much

Love listening to his talks

I’ve been on keto and OMAD for almost 5 weeks and I’m down 32 pounds and I feel great

Excellent explanation Doc..thank u so much for the knowledge....

You are a great teacher and a wealth of information!

This is amazing! I have learned so much watching your videos. So many of our health problems are diet related! The high carb + low fat mantra I have accepted most of my life is a myth. And we wonder why we have so many health and weight problems in the United States. The Keto diet is based upon science and facts! And more importantly it works!! For me it has become a lifestyle that is full of positive benefits! Why doesn’t our government shout this out with a huge megaphone 📢? It’s because so many corporations benefit from our sugar/ carb addiction; from food to pharmaceuticals!

this was an awesome presentation. not only the standard diet in your country, but mine as well causes this. i believe in the US the diet could be even worse considering the state of additives put into our foods. thanks so much for posting this info blessings to you

very clear and helpful to regaining good health

Hand down the best info. I wish my PMD listen this

Starting today.. no more carbohydrates for me.. Thank you Doc.

Very good presentation.

Thank you so much for the info

Well done.

Excellent !

If you were surprised and Intrigued by the role of salt indicated in this presentation, I recommend the book The Salt Fix. It was written by an American doctor who similarly recognised the role of salt in MetS / metabolic syndrome.

This explains why I was craving salt when I stopped eating carbs.

Very interesting lecture. Thank you!

When I had glucose tolerance tests 40 years ago and the results were a completely flat curve. They couldn’t tell I drank 100 grams glucose. Same happened on a 2nd test. My doctor told me I gush insulin. This helps me understand why I could never feel good eating sugar and would feel terrible and gain weight quickly trying to eat a lower fat higher carb diet. Going Keto is the first time I have felt great and not been hungry.

Very informative.

Best video on insulin resistance out.

at start Dr Mason asked 'what is good health?'... then he started to list.... I would like to add 1 more to list..... 'No over excercise injuries'.... why?.... cause many believe a calorie is a calorie and fall into 'over excercise syndrome' trying to fix metabolic diseases.

25:46 couldn't help but react to this graph. About 23 years for insulin resistance to develop, which corresponds well to when I, and for that matter most people I know whom are overweight started to pack on the kilos.

I highly agree that we are generally eating too many carbs and our guidelines are very faulty. They kill people who follow them. People with autoimmune issues, they actually *must* reduce whole food groups and people with allergies needs to avoid lots of specific foods. It truly comes down to everybody's unique body-make-up how much the carbohydrates and sugar are going to damage you. But I also like to note that the diet should never be based on conformity. Everybody is VERY unique and our dietary needs differ vastly. No one diet fits for all. So listening one's own body is most important and that is what everybody keeps forgetting. I believe myself to be highly effected by the carbohydrates and have intuitively been eating less carbs over the years. Now I am doing Paleo and it feels like coming home!

Dizzy keto flu symptoms can be prevented by Salt 4-6g is best Liver can only hold 100g of sugar if you put in more you get high triglycerides and fatty liver HDL is good but prevented with triglycerides Elevated blood sugar levels insulin resistance increases fasting glucose level Fat high in indigioni Blood pressure goes down salt effect in kidneys Causes of insulin resistance- visceral fat Body mass index Fatty liver Fructose leads to fat accumulation Eliminate carbs Fat you lose first is the visceral fat Liver gets healthier on low carb diet Height of insulin predictive of diabetes Reactive hypoglycaemia makes you hungry 😋 when you eat carbs increasing cravings We can fix this in 3 months

Very interesting on the salt part, read about it in the salt fix by Dr James Dinicolantonio

Thank you! Your lecture is packed with so much scientific and medical knowledges. I am interested in metabolic syndrome and I learned a lot from your lecture. However, Australian blood glucose measuring scale must be quite different from American (the U.S.). I couldn’t quite understand when you mention single digit glucose level, when it should be from 2-3 digits in the U.S. system- normal fasting glucose level is 70-100 here.

Doctors know a lot about diabetes, ironically many people continue dying due to diabetes complications, I think we've been doing things wrongly. Hospitals are full with people dealing with that illness, cemeteries are also full with people who died due to the same problem. We've been losing the battle against the killer, I wonder if soda companies think about that, maybe not, perhaps all they care for is money.

I was sent here by my Pathophysiology professor, and it answered none of the questions on the study guide. Now I feel like I've just watched a 30 min infomercial for Keto. Thanks, community college.

I like this information, Good health is the opposite of absent of metabolic syndrome", very educational and life saving for me

Thanks for the presentation. Are there any doctors in Perth with the same approach?

I want to go low carb simply because after eating carbs and especially sugar I get crazy tired and feel terrible. Probably insulin resistant.

Brilliant👍

He’s a genius and funny too! Thanks Dr!

Seed oils damage the metabolism of sugar, then carbs makes the opposite of "damage control"

The keto diet is the fountain of youth. DO IT.

My BP is moderately high under medication (125/80). I am on a HFLC diet and my latest blood works show that I am insulin sensitive. All other markers look good, HbA1c is 4.9, Trigs 0.79 mmol/l, HDL chol 2.0 mmol/l. I lost half of my thyroid in 2007, and take 100 mg of Uthyrox. My TSH reading 2.76.

Good doctor

EXCELLENT thank you so much ++++++++++++

Things I wish I knew a long time ago

Are there any Adelaide doctors who follow this advice ?

I suppose that you have heard about Dr. Robert Lustig. He also talks about sugar, insuline and metabolic syndrome

Amazing ✌️🙏🤛

Good health is NOT the absence of bad health. Numbers are indicators only. Real bad health is indicated by symptoms. The big abdomen, lack of energy, low libido or inability to perform, angina, infections and muscle spasms are REAL signs of bad health, and good health is high energy, great skin and hair, good sleeping habits, memory and mood. Otherwise, he's great.

Does elevated glucose level happens in a healthy person at times, just like elevated hypertension in a healthy person at times, due to one’s life or work stress? Thank you

One question on the correlation between urinary sodium excretion, salt intake, and all-cause mortality. Might the cause of both reduced sodium excretion and increased mortality on the left hand side of the chart be high levels of insulin? Perhaps these people were consuming more sodium than they were excreting? And dieing more, due to metabolic disease?

I am interested in the biological mechanisms of ptsd and trying to figure out the true cure for the disorder. I have researched it a bit but studies are all one or the other. I would love it if you could dig into the mechanisms of LDL, HDL, TG, B amyloid, insulin resistance, systemic inflammation (interleukin), C reactive protein, as well as sodium levels and potentially the way that it maintains ptsd; as these are all a factor as stated in some studies.

Great

Sugar too 5:59 will go into every cell to form potential energy and holds fluids. Up at night a number of times for the bathroom...?

I found the atkins diet 35 years ago I still have his original book. But then the medical world vilified him and he had to recommend less fat . And most doctor's believe cutting calories is the only way to lose weight. Absolute madness

The Salt/Sodium chart at 8:22 reads, "

Carbs, over a certain amount are specially fattening, that is why breast milk is so high in carbs, to fatten the baby quick and to nourish a growing human brain, when you are done growing (an adult) it is reasonable to assume you need less anabolic signaling (carb-induced insulin signaling).

I have 3 of those conditions that Dr. Mason mentioned but I do NOT have insulin resistance nor do I have a fatty liver. I just watched a video by Robert Lustig who said studies show that it doesn't matter if you have abdominal obesity or not. Studies have shown even people who do NOT have big guts still get metabolic syndrome. Perhaps these two guys need to have a conversation. Also, Harvard Health stated that they believed that Abdominal Obesity and Metabolic Syndrome may be the cause of Insulin Resistance. Maybe all 3 should get together.

So is Dr Mason going to write a book about food intake and elimination or should we all just guess after watching these videos.

Come to England and give me a health check as it sounds like I got metabolic syndrome, your saying every thing I got and feel my docter say it my age. I need 1 good diet. I trying fasting and carnivore, when to eat and not, any video to watch thanks paul

His focus - target is NOT keto diet(s) but value of reduced ("low") carbohydrate diet - reminds me of Dr. Bernsteins' 20 grams max per day and it is effective for weight loss....

I've read that vitamin d3 deficiency greatly affects insulin and metabolic syndrome. Is this true??

Wow, if as you say the fat that we lose first on a ketogenic diet is the bad stuff, that is amazing. Visceral fat is so dangerous. How do we know though that that is true?

my mom's T2D and my dad has high blood pressure, so they're both likely caused by high insulin? edit: dr. Jason Fung says that insulin resistance is caused by an overabundance of energy in cells, and requires more insulin to keep jamming energy into cells to the point that no more can fit, which is why it overflows and insulin can't keep it in. Is this still correct or is it simply a massive oversimplification?

Is there any connection with higher cortisol levels (people who are emotionally responsive or sensitive) to changes to insulin levels? Can someone have slight hypertension and perhaps higher cortisol levels yet the same person is on a whole foods diet and has lost a lot of weight due to their diet & daily exercise routine and still develop insulin resistance if they are very emotionally sensitive and their cortisol levels are generally elevated?

Please comment on American Heart Association Guidelines

Does anyone know when he mentioned pancreatic burnout. My ears peeked. Does this relate to pancreatitis?

Good lecture, but Dr. Mason confused sodium intake with salt intake. 1g of sodium corresponds to ~2.5g of salt.

Would you recommend 4-6 grams of salt a day per person? I feel like if we can’t get it from diet without adding it then it shouldn’t really be essential? It is just something that has been a thought.

if you had a ratio of 2.0 of risk of dying from any case... what would that mean? you have a 2 in 'X' chance of dying, what would 'X' be?
