I’d love to have him as a lecturer, fantastic energy and teaching skills

I'm pretty impressed by this doctor after watching a few videos, as I am WFPB and he turned up in one of my searches. He seems like a positive teacher at least on the surface, in his presentations I have seen. He has a sophisticated, nuanced response to criticism and queries. California, and the world are lucky to have him and his big brain working on these problems. I know you are all 'pretending' that keto is 'healthy' in an attempt to unite a instigate change for the good. Sure it met your particular measures in this study but population studies are clear that excess saturated fat, especially the huge amount in keto, is a death sentence compared to plant based diets.

I am a dietitian that works in an outpatient setting. I came to Dr. Gardner's foundational diet conclusion a few years ago and focus on this with a majority of my patients. It feels incredibly validating to hear someone of his status come to the same conclusion. He has the data to back this up, which makes my life a lot easier!

It’s always fun to listen to Dr. Gardner talk. He’s always engaging.

Fascinating information! I have been a ZOE participant for almost a year now but I'm also taking an online course called the Soil Food Web by Elaine Ingham. It's all about regenerative agriculture and making bio active complete compost. The parallels between the soil food web and human microbiome are fascinating! When Gardner was talking about the fiber vs fermented food study I suddenly remembered a study from the soils course where they quantified plant growth as a factor of various things: Nitrogen, Phosphorous, Calcium, Magnesium, even Organic matter. Nothing tracked until they looked at Fungal: Bacterial ratios and then it tracked perfectly! (Soils which contain a diversity of microbes including bacteria, fungi, protozoa, microarthropods and nematodes create a food web which in turn creates optimal nutrient cycling for the plant). Your fiber vs fermented foods study also caught my attention because all of my scores in ZOE were quite poor and I suffer from fructose malabsorption, so eating lots of high fiber foods and/or prebiotics usually causes me distress. I'm guessing if I were to try the high fiber I would be one of the people with increased inflammatory markers. So I'm going to try increasing probiotics for a while and then gradually see how much of the prebiotics I can tolerate. Thanks for an inspiring talk!

Chris is the only one I can find on these topics that isn't a zealot, it is insane how basic concepts are not agreed on in this space dominated by quackery ("Most" Keto and Vegan people are crazy).

Thank you for a very informative and entertaining lecture. Can you talk more about the lectin aspect of plant foods in relation to inflammation and gut health? Thank you for sharing your work on KZfaq.

The lab meat contains Native Potato starch, it acts like Inulin, which is food for the microbes in the gut. This might be part of the explanation for the lower TMAO.

Fantastic presentation! Dr. Gardner is a recent discovery for me - I feel like an Egyptologist who stumbled onto an unlooted royal tomb.

What were the 19 inflammatory proteins that decreased please? I'm aware IL-6 was one but it would be nice to know the others. I have a personal interest in IL-17

I love Gardner 💙🙌 not sure why he’s wearing a mask when he’s over 2 metre apart from others?

Thanks for doing high quality studies. Clinical significance of TMAO is another story.

Natto isn't nasty at all. It is delicious. I call it the Époisses of the soybean world.

👍🏻

Dude owns one shirt…

It’s Stanford…

35:46 . Then you are not qualfied to do this study, no matter how many degrees you obtain. If you can't check your 'frustrations' at the door, then you cannot be trusted for honesty.

Love Christopher but the mask is silly.

It's hard to take this person seriously with a rediculous mask....
