Over the last 15 years or so I have cut out sauces and gravies, fast foods and "instant" foods. My palate has grown simple, to the point where I actually don't like even salad dressings - other than olive oil and balsamic vinegar. You can chase me with sugary deserts or "treats". I have finally managed to drop bread. I very seldom eat out and most times I choose to cook from scratch, don't do frying, only steaming, poaching or grilling. This discussion has been eye-opening and has justified my simple foods choice. I'm 70 and not on any medication. I am blessed!

I cut out most carbs and sugars 2 years ago purely to lose weight and stuck to meats, fats and leafy vegetables. I'm also on a 16/8 intermittent fast. None of it takes any effort. I was 66 at the time. I quickly lost weight. I was always reasonably fit, but I was carrying too much timber. My fitness obviously improved, but what pleasantly shocked me was how my temperment and brain function changed for the better. It's as I've been possessed by a much nicer person.

This was such an interesting discussion. I'm 80, & so far I don't have any memory problems. One thing I had as a young person, was piano lessons for about 20 years total. I memorized pages of music. I grew up on a farm. My Mom always cooked real food, either grown by my parents or my grandparents. No pesticides, only real food-dairy cows, chickens, gardens, fruit trees, venison. Mom made meals with color, like green veggies. I also believe that staying curious about life, learning something new every day also helps keep the mind working. What do you think about my experiences?

I am jealous. My grandparents (who would now be in their 100s but have passed on) lived similarly to you, but my parents (also both gone) born in the 30s were very unhealthy eaters and i grew up in the seventies on a terrible diet…hot dogs, sugary cereals, no veggies except what came in a can. I tried to reverse the damage in my twenties with Mediterranean diet and now try my best to eat clean keto but sugar is hard to beat. My mother and her father had dementia. I am terrified of dementia, even more than weight issues. This is my primary motivation to eat healthy foods. I do not want to lose my brain health.

I remember in the 1970s the stories of poor old ladies living independently, brains intact, who were living on cat food, because they couldn't afford groceries. They were doing very well, however, living on cat food. Cat food has supplemental taurine in it, because cats don't synthesize their own, and if deprived of it, they develop heart failure, poor eyesight, and dementia. Sounds like old age to me. My husband and I take taurine supplements. other sources are raw duck eggs, raw goat's milk and raw meat . (Heat destroys taurine.)

Autoimmune diseases, arthritis, diabetes and certain types of dementia are adverse side of effects of vaccines and certain medicines (as noted in pub med). Working In dentistry I love to spend hours talking to the 100 year olds. One amazing lady who just turned a 100 years old this month, grew up on her parents cattle ranch and is a retired teacher. She has consumed a lot of fresh red meat, eggs (made in a variety dishes) and homemade fruit pies over her life time. One day she brought me a homemade berry pie to thank me for walking her out to her SUV which she drives by herself to the dentist office. She wears a fit band daily and walks with friends from her neighborhood and church. This lady does not suffer from any chronic disease, doesn't need daily medicine and still has a crystal clear short and long term memory. There is so much to learn from these 100 year olds who still have their memories.

I had surgery in 2010 for an endometrial cyst the size of a tennis ball, then 6 months of Lupron, 8 months of the pill. I hated the pill. I did research and found the endometriosis diet. My Dr said okay and I went off the pill. In about 2015 I found that daily dosing of magnesium helped my endo symptoms, too. I recently conceived after many years of managing endo through diet (and with only 1 ovary). It's possible, but Medical Dr's don't know about diet stuff. Do more research. I avoid GMOs and pesticides, dairy and conventional meats (bc of the hormones and gmo feed). I also do Epsom baths in the days leading up to my period to help maximize magnesium in my system. The magnesium helps with the painful periods. You got this.

And since then Peterson has had a wealth of learning to reveal in which this podcast is a fruitful example. Thank you Jordan Peterson for these many things. You take a complex over looked subject like dementia and health and simplify and magnify it with your astute questions and comments. You gently prod knowledgeable guest with your Socratic method of interview to encourage them to share, like Max Lugavere, their enormous well researched investigations and learning.

37 years old. 1 year carnivore. Steak, eggs, salmon, raw and fermented dairy, SOME sauerkraut on ground beef occasionally. Still drinking coffee in the morning. All gut issues gone. This includes bloating, rash, bleeding, hemorrhoids, constipation. This effect was within the first couple months. I no longer need to use shampoo, deodorant, or tooth paste on a regular basis. This occurred about 6 to 7 months into the diet. I still use them occasionally, but have switched over to more natural type products, like beef tallow soaps or coconut oil for deodorant. I no longer need to use any types of cleaners or face washes. I never was overweight, but my body composition changed and slightly toned up with very little exercise. When i do exercise i look ripped in a way that was only possible if i worked out 4 days a week before. Had labs done recently. Insulin sensitivity is perfect, cholesterol mimics that of the LMHR. No Inflammation. No heavy metal toxicity (i drink RO water), testosterone was off the clinic's reference range at 850. There were some growing pains with the diet. I had carb withdrawal very early on and had what i can only call a liver detox event at about 3 months. I have tried to reintroduce some things and symptoms return. Any grains or ultra processed items bring back the symptoms with a vengeance and it takes weeks to return to a healed or normal state. My younger brother has had the same experience except he also lost 40 pounds. Carnivore has been an absolute life saver for me.

@witch_painting_memory Күн бұрын

@@Liliana-qq6ry It's become too normalized. Most people are addicted from childhood, and so they've never experienced life without it. And everyone around them is addicted, too, so the behaviors are seen as especially normal. Not eating sugary foods, especially at social gatherings, is seen as very abnormal. In that context, it makes the addiction much harder to recognize it for what it is.

Changing my diet saved me from debilitating back pain, nerve pain, joint pain, muscle pain, digestive issues, raised blood pressure, 20kg over weight. It took around 8 months for all these problems to resolve. I'm completely pain free and never felt and looked healthier. Since 2020 I've only been eating fatty meats, seafood, eggs and dairy. Prior to that I was eating the mainstream version of a healthy diet (lots of veggies, fruit, whole grains, low fat, eating the rainbow etc) for decades and watching my health slowly decline. Dr Anthony Chaffee, Dr Paul Mason, Dr Ken Berry, Dr Shawn Baker, Dr Gary Fettke, Dr Benjamin Bikman, Dr. Malcolm Kendrick, all helped me get my health back.

Now at 77 I am healthy and normal weight-and am acutely aware of carbohydrates are. I take my insulin every day and test myself whenever necessary-about 5 times a day.

Because it took a long time to feed my mom I took the opportunity to learn as much as I could on gardening, soil biology, soil health! It unavoidably led me to look into biology and human health! Takes 3 years to bring biology up to par in soil and the same to rebuild emune system in body if you know what you are doing! I did a 5 mushroom blend in green drinks. The improvement was stunning! Mom sorta woke up! It's difficult to get someone to change their diet in there old age without starting a war. All diet stuff is definitely needed before you are diagnosed.

Interestin thing I learned about Canola/rapeseed oil today: Originally rapeseed oil used in food used to have up to 54% (number taken from wikipedia real quick) of erucic acid, which is a very long chain monounsaturated fatty acid. Erucic acid has been demonized by what seems to me like bogus studies and subsequently a breed of canola, a "food-grade version derived from rapeseed cultivars specifically bred for low erucic acid content" (again quote taken from wikipedia real quick) has been embraced by the industry. Rapeseed oil might actually have been fit for human consumption before it got ruined, because now of course the polyunsaturated fat content of it is even higher due to the dramatic reduction of erucic acid. This same fatty acid exists in mustard oil as well and guess what? It's banned (for food use) in the US and EU.

At 14, I was fit, healthy, played tennis, football, jogged, bicycled, skateboarded, swam in the ocean. There wasn't much I wasn't doing outside as a teenager and doing those things was my transportation, my exercise and I did them regularly because I truly enjoyed doing them. Because of these physical activities I started to get chronic ingrown toenails, and subsequent doses of anti-biotics to kill the infections I would inevitably get. By the time I was 15, I had gained 50 pounds. All while still doing the same activities. The weight hadn't bothered me physically that much, but the weight kept coming on. By 16, another 50 pounds and my mom was very concerned and took me to see doctors. Doctors pulled up the food pyramid, made diets based on that with exercise regiments. None of that worked. This calorie in-calorie out formula doesn't work for everyone. Depression had set in by my mid-20s and I had started to drink alcohol to forget about my weight problems. I was still going to the gym and struggling. It just wasn't happening. by my mid-30's I had finally given up. by my 40's I was 450+ pounds and 6'5. My blood results always made doctors look at them sideways, because I wasn't diabetic. I didn't have a lot of issues yet. And I still struggled to lose weight. It wasn't until 46 that I discovered ketosis dieting and dropped 128 pounds in a year. All I did was diet and walk. I didn't have to hit the gym and lift weights. The weight loss was short lived though, as I began to try and eat normal again. The weight all came back and then some in a few years. Massive depression had set in again. Then my brother and mother both became ill with glioblastoma and liver cancer respectively. My brother and mother died 25 days apart last year. This furthered my depression, and I began to eat even worse than I had been and gained another 90 pounds. topping me out at 495 at this point. I've been struggling to get back to a keto-style diet, as I know it works and I felt great, and my bloodwork was all on point while doing that diet. No concerns about cholesterol, my kidneys, etc. I did catch COVID 4 times and had the original strain. I am concerned that COVID caused damage to my heart because I have an enlarged heart now, and I had noticed my energy levels never returned after having COVID the first time. I never got the vaccines. I didn't believe in them, and with all the information and vaccine harm that has happened to people, I'm glad I stuck to my guns and didn't fold to the pressure to get those abysmal vaccines. It's been over a year since the passing of my brother and mother and I'm trying to get myself back in order. I know what to do but have a hard time doing it. I don't know what the disconnect is. The 46-year-old me was dogged and relentless in doing that for myself. the 52-year-old me just feels broken inside and lacking any motivation. I'm the only one left of my immediate family. It's hard not seeing my mother and brother each day that were encouraging me when I lost the weight the first time. I just feel lost and very unmotivated to deal with this. And of course, the toll of the weight is beginning to affect my life a lot more than it did in my 40s. The heart issue being the biggest concern. I lost my gallbladder about 7 years ago and decided to lose weight the first time shortly after that. I also have enlarged prostate and I think getting rid of the weight will take care of every health issue I have.

When I was 23 - 25 I was vegan, then I got pregnant and I was craving meat so much that I went back to having hamburgers and steak. We were definitely eating healthy mostly organic and all-natural but still processed . I had trouble losing weight after my second child and decided to go on keto. I lost 60 lbs and it was fantastic. Don't even remember how sugar creeped back into my life but I gained the 60 lb back. It's probably Dunkin' Donuts 😂. Then I tried to go back vegan because it got popular again. I was so sick, I was having so many allergic reactions I think mostly to the latex family. Which is bananas avocados a lot of seeds papaya and so forth. So I decided to go carnivore and I feel amazing! I don't have any trouble with gas bloating bowel movements or anything. I feel younger and happier and a lot less anxious! I might throw in some fruit occasionally or some vitamin supplements. But I'm probably going to stay carnivore for the rest of my life. ❤

Vegetables are trying to kill you. Not a joke. Alll those different bitterness, peppery tastes and even the taste of raw potatoes are ment to discourage you from eating them. That's why children hate veg and we have to keep giving it to them over and over to get them used to it. Now fruits want you to eat them so you will spread their seeds and help produce their next generation, how do they do this by drugging you with sugars and making you an addict.

Ive done a Keto diet since I was 16. People keep telling me its bad for me and high cholesterol but i feel amazing when im on it. I find in my diet that I cant do things in moderation and prefer to go all or nothing, even changing my language to saying "I CANT have this or I CANT have that" in order to not tempt fate. The problem here is this mindset can lead you to binge eating if and when you do break your diet. I have to fend off many people always trying to give me junk. I think I ate ceasar salads for over a year straight in college and was never sick of it.

@@LWilkes What Neil said and more. I've also studied significantly and finally had to search internationally and then translate research from German to understand the issue. Keep in mind that it takes time to accomplish and if you've completely killed off the nerves, they may not grow back or at least entirely. The protocol that I developed from the research and have shared it with other doctors who are now using it with patients and it has worked 95% recovery for both my wife and I is 300mg of benfotiamine and 300mg of alpha lipoic acid, taken 2x per day. It takes a few months before you notice much but then one day it's like, "I feel better". You have better and worse days but it does work over time. I noticed my max improvement about 14-18 months into it. It takes time to regenerate nerves. The most interesting part is that a nerve that had been cut at my elbow and cutting feeling to my 3 and 4th fingers and that had been that way for 7 years, also regrew in about a year. I just noticed one day that the numbness was gone.

See my answer to Neil. Yes, doctors know very little about nutrition and the system they work in hates nutritional therapy. I just fired my cardiologist when I accomplished in 6 months what his advice hadn't accomplished in 5 years, and then he was angry when I informed him I had stopped taking his statin 8 months earlier and my cholesterol and triglycerides were well into the normal range for the first time in [and 30 pts lower than he said his was 6 months earlier]. At 65, I've had far better results researching my own issues and biohacking than any doctor. I've more or less decided that what I need doctors for is to write orders for tests and prescriptions and maybe offer up a few other options and ideas. Ironically, my personal experience is that I suggest a couple of optional diagnoses and they run a couple of tests and tell me which is correct.
