We're gonna make a fun Q&A video, leave something below you'd like to ask me. Personal life, hobbies, food, science, background, funny stuff, anything!

As a retired college instructor I am totally blown away by how well get your points across while being amazingly entertaining. I'm sitting here wondering if I've just been educated or entertained but it is both. I hate biology and health topics yet your videos leave wanting more, looking up more information, and looking forward to your next video. This old moose is learning new tricks. THANKS!

How on EARTH does this guy not have 500K subscribers? Succinct, clear, articulate, interesting, with a great sense of humor and good production quality.

I spent the last seven years learning as much as I could find about cholesterol after a heart attack. My conclusion is the same, it’s sugar and carbohydrates. And don’t get me started on high fructose corn syrup! You’re doing a great job.

Okay, I'm slack jawed at how simple and engaging this presentation is, eagerly waiting on expansion of sugar and what it does to the body.

Thank you Johnny! I'm old enough to be your grandma, never too old to learn!

We were lied to for so long about what is healthy for us. Great to see the channel blow up, dude! Seems like just a couple of weeks ago you had just a couple thousand subs!

Johnny, YOU are saving my life! I had a Widowmaker MI on 2 January 2024, with LDL of 102 and HDL of 63. I had been trying to get my LDLs down, and doing all the wrong things for a couple years. Then I started watching your videos, and figured out what the doctors seemed to have thought I should have just KNOWN without ever having been told!!! Less than a month after my heart attack, I had my LDL down to 31 and my HDL down to 63! And I did it by what YOU taught me in your videos!!! Thank you, young man, THANK YOU!!!

Yes please do a deep dive into the effects of sugar on the body!!

I found you on your first butter video….. I have Two other topics I would like you to cover 1. High fructose sugar vs pure cane sugar. 2. Manmade/fake zero calorie sugars vs plant base zero calorie sugars. Thank you for your videos. You are great at explaining all your topics!

Hi there. I am 66. I used to be overweight and was plagued with several chronic health conditions for decades. My metabolic health was not the best to put it mildly. I had a fatty liver condition. I had edema, which is excess fluids causing swelling in the lower legs and feet. I had occasional high blood pressure and COPD symptoms - wheezing, coughing and shortness of breath. I was losing teeth, bone and muscle mass. I was also suffering with peripheral neuropathy and more. About two years ago i changed the way i was eating. I began intermittent fasting aggressively by eating just one big meal per day, and have been doing it ever since. Intermittent fasting is perhaps the most powerful thing you can do to lose weight and improve overall health. I stopped eating all sugars, and drastically reduced my carb intake. I stopped eating all breads, cereals, pastas, etc. I stopped eating any highly processed and all fast 'foods'. I prepare my own meal every day using only fresh organic, non GMO veggies, mostly produced by local farmers. And the meat proteins and dairy products come from local free range farmers as well. In just two months of eating this way, i lost about 60 pounds of excess fluids and body fat without additional exercise or increasing activity levels. And over the next few months, something truly magical began happening. I began reversing all those chronic health conditions described above. Even that stubborn peripheral neuropathy is gone, and the COPD symptoms. No more cough. No more wheezing, and no more shortness of breath. And i am still a modest smoker. Imagine that. Now i exercise more, and am much more physically active. I am healthier and stronger now than i was ten years ago. It is kind of like aging in reverse.

Dude, you have a genuine talent. You are going to be a great success in life!

YES!!! You got my message! I was hoping you would make a video like this. And yeah, you did a brilliant job of explaining the lipid stuff - I learned things I didn't know, and I have a biochemistry degree. Of course, I studied biochem in the days when dinosaurs roamed the earth, and I have not kept up, cuz I changed careers early on. So THANK YOU for unmasking the true villain. People need to know this. The dramatic reveal was hilarious. And amazingly you have not knocked the plant off the table yet. Edit: And yes, pretty please, I want to hear the story of how sugar affects the lipid processes.

This video explains why my "cholesterol" is up. With food prices the way they are, I have had to incorporate more carbs into my diet. I picked potatoes and legumes, for nutrient value, and the fact that I can get those unprocessed. I still eat fairly low carb, but I have been asked to consider a statin. My LDL is getting higher in ratio to my HDL. Now that I am armed with this information, I can make a better decision. Thank you!!!

Ive been here since you had 500 Subs. Great channel since you provide very valuable and educational videos in a very entertaining way.

The amount of time you spend on your videos is apparent, and the analogies are always on point like saving fat in the body = saving money as a business.

man your channel will blow up

The problem is there is sugar in almost everything we buy that is not naturally grown and not only instigates CVD but Diabetes also!

I remember that companies blamed fat and cholesterol for a lot of health problems and started to make towards “no fat” and “low cholesterol” products, but then we found out that it was mainly sugar, so now, they’re making “low sugar” and “zero sugar added” products. Thanks for teaching me what LDL and HDL actually mean and what they do. I never knew what their functions were and only heard of them as bad and good cholesterol. The butter video got me hooked on this channel, and I subscribed after watching two more of your videos. I never realized you only had about 52K subscribers when I was going to subscribe. I assumed you would’ve had a _lot_ more. You’re amazing at this!

I have been dealing with Diabetes for years and this is the first time I have really understood this connection. You are an incredible communicator. I don't know if you are a freaking genius that just knows this stuff, or if you study up on it and then focus on the presentation. Either way, you are incredible to watch. Thank you. Wish we had more folks like you out here in the internet wilds to make it a more useful platform for information. Keep up the great work! Look forward to your next one.

Ii love the way you explain this I am. CCRN ( Critical Care RN ) that worked in the Heart Surgical Unit/Cardiovascular ICU for many years. ( retired now, yay!!) Your videos are great teaching tools to explain cholesterol/triglycerides, HDL/ LDL risk ratio. I have sent this video, & your butter video to friends I pray they help. Keep up the great work!! God Bless you.

You are hands down the best UTube maestro in the known universe. Please don't change anything. Perfection can't be made more perfect. Too many creators add background sounds or music, that's when they loose me. Keep doing what you're doing. I'm spreading the word. Such amazing talent is mind boggling. At 81 years old with health problems you cover, I find your videos by far the most helpful plus your presentation and fun sense of humor is beyond compare.

Yep, this is now one of my favourite KZfaq channels of all time. Even when I don't fully get what you're saying, I still *feel* like I do and I'm still very much along for the ride

this is exactly the kind of info i’ve been looking for man. i’ve always kind of heard that fats aren’t bad, 7 countries study, sugar is the problem etc. but couldn’t really understand what to take away and apply to my life. your way of breaking down these topics so directly and making it easy to understand, cutting through the bs and getting straight to the point is amazing. seriously, thank you so much. i can’t wait to see more from you.

I am absolutely loving this channel. I always learn something fascinating. Thank you! And Johnny, we NEED that sugar video!

I like where this is headed. :) Recent subscriber. Love the presentation style and how you stitch these videos together. Well done.

Yo, just found this channel and really enjoy it! Would be great if you could link your sources in the description too

I love these videos! Thank you for what you do - proving complex concepts in easy to understand videos. I’m an RN and have learned/relearned/been reminded of - how amazing our bodies truly are! Your delivery is entertaining and easy to follow, no matter the listeners level of medical knowledge. Keep going. You’re doing important work here! Thank you!!!

Bruh, I did a look at your channel and I am hella impressed by your growth, branding, editing, and overall vibe. Congrats on being blessed by the algorithm Gods and I cant wait to see more good, healthy content!

Yes! Thank you! I'm waiting for nutritionists and doctors to let go of the old 'fat=bad, carbs=ok' beliefs. Great video!

Yes! PLEASE do the sugar video! The butter and cholesterol videos were ridiculously entertaining and informative. I can't wait for the next one!

Please keep it coming. You have the production quality of any top influencer, I feel like I'm here at the ground floor and can't wait to see where you take this channel.

YES! Your presentations are wonderful. Engaging, no bull…, straightforward, good analogies which are not TOO silly. I’m really enthusiastic about this! Keep up the good work! Lovin’ in!

Thanks for doing this. Glad to hear confirmation of what I have believed; but it is sometimes hard to overcome other peoples biases.😮

I'm excited to see your channel grow

This was awesome, and that message at the end was very sweet. Super happy to jump on the supporter train, your videos are so high quality and informative. I adore science youtubers and am so glad to see someone with as much passion as you join those I watch regularly!

bro broke that down better than my endocrinologist did, well done.

I’m picky with subs but you wouldn’t believe how fast I just wrecked that bell. You’re doing super important work here and I can’t wait to see where you take this. These topics have been covered a million times but your relatable delivery is what will catapult this channel to success. Congrats buddy

Bro, your first butter vid came up in my feed, cause the phones are always listening and they know I have listened to two podcasts about butter this week 😆 and now, being one of the small fraction that so far has already watched your next video, I can say that with your humility and and gratitude at the end of this video, YOU ARE GOING PLACES! Don't ever let anyone tear you down or get to you with their stupid comments, it's gonna happen. But you are an up-and-coming treasure in this country. Bringing knowledge to the youth. Thanks be to God, it's your time man! Keep your eyes on the prize: nourishing minds with truth and facts, and all other good things will come to follow! Just wanted to throw some encouragement your way. Thank you for the education, I'm excited for your journey as well.

Thank you for being a scientist, I an a retired geologist and understand the method of logical thinking and skepticism. To bad that politicians don't not have the same process. Keep up with the informative videos, you a damn good job,

Bruh this video is underrated, it explains such an important process in the body occurs and why we have so many cardiovascular issues nowadays. This is why at my 24 years of age I am severely reducing my sugar intake. Sugar is not good for us in any way shape or form, and even though it provides us with glucose, which is a source of energy for the body, we are already able to produce as much glucose as our body requires without producing excess, but having an increased intake throws that out of balance and a domino effect of things occur. We've been lied to for so long.

Dude you’re killing it thanks so much for all this breakdown it’s really helping me to get back out of my crappy eating phase much appreciated

Thank you for making science fun and exciting !!

Excellent commentary. Question: how do you think insulin, diabetes, pre diabetes are linked with cholesterol problems?

So much interesting information in 8 minutes! That was awesome, watching again.

I hope viewers understand that this very concise and well-presented video is about 2-3 1.5-2h university level medical biochemistry lectures boiled down to the most important points and presented in a matter so it's engaging (unlike my biochem prof) and doesn't lose any educational value. Kudos on these videos man, keep up the excellent work!

Discovered your channel last week and I am hooked. Your passion is palpable and I am unlearning a lot of things.. Which is really good! Please do go on about Sugar.

I just recently found your channel and absolutely love it! I appreciate the way you break things down so anyone can understand it. Keep doing what you do!

It was your butter vid that brought me here. I usually don't sub to anything unless I've watched a lot of the channel's vids first, but you got my attention and accolades from the get go. Thanks for what you are doing! Your passion is contagious.

This is, legit, one of THEE best channels on KZfaq! You kill it every. single. time. Keep on doing what you do, my friend!!

Fascinating now you should do a similar video on sugar in the body

It's nice to see your subscriber count growing. Your production values are outstanding and your content is pretty damn good. I love when I get in on a channel when it's small and watch it blow up over the years.

Wow the production quality and ability to parse complex topics is incredible!

I'm so glad I stumbled onto one of your videos. You're informative and entertaining. My wife and teenagers like your videos as well. Keep up the great work and may God continue to bless you. I hope you reach a million subscribers and beyond.

this is the quality i expect from much larger channels. this is awesome! please do more on sugar

One thing I noticed about the videos on your channel, the closer the videos were to 10mins the more views they got, I think that's an algorithm thing. Keep up the good work 👌

I've thought this was the case for ages, nice to hear that it might be the case! The whole cholesterol conversation just seemed like the conversation about electrolytes from Idiocracy.

Thanks for having us

Not once have I watched not one, but TWO well thought out, well researched, and well said videos and actually learned something. This changed that, you damn well earned my sub and like for this!

So glad I found this channel, my kids enjoy watching it with me.

When I first watched a video of yours I assumed you had millions of subscribers. The presentation is just so spot-on. Keep it up!

Found this channel the other day, this has gotta be one of my favorites.

When I saw the title I said to myself…it’s sugar! Lol love your content, stay blessed!

Glad to see you jumped on followers. Fkn awesome. Top notch video fr

I switched to butter from margarine about 5 years ago. Your butter video got me to switch from regular butter to grass-fed butter. Please keep these videos coming!

Awesome video. This is as good or better than the last one. And better than channels that have a whole team. I get the feeling Johnny is doing this all by himself. If so, that's even more impressive.

Bruh, well done! I have been gobbling up data about cholesterol and sugar in recent years and, as I've learned much of what you went over here, I couldn't help but to feel betrayed by the medical establishment for misrepresenting the problem. The culprit has always been sugar and, I believe, there are multiple reasons why this is largely unknown. Primarily it's just business. Corporate interests (big pharma, big agriculture, etc) have a financial interest in propagating lies about cholesterol and sugar. Big pharma wants everyone on statins forever and big ag wants their processed sweeteners in everything we eat forever...so they push coordinated lies to make that happen. This is just one example of how corporate interests will be the death of us all, unless we learn the facts (thank you for that) and act on what we learn. Good job!

Bruh I just checked your social blade..... CONGRATS!!!! I'm a new sub but looking back on your videos it looks like you been putting in the work, and now you cracked the algorithm. Thats bad ass!! 50k down 500k next month!

This dude comes off as the sweetest soul... God bless I hope your channel gets huge!

Man, I'm about to make your videos required watching for health class for my kids. I'm learning so much.

I cannot wait to hear the sugar story. It is fascinating. Thanks

This is how I like to learn. It helps me understand everything so much better!

thanks for tackling that and explaining it. You are great with analogies. And I like that ending message.

I teach nursing students and it's funny that you used the description of an Amazon delivery guy. I used to say a fed x or ups guy delivers, and the garbage guy picked up the boxes and such. Very nice, a good lecture. You Tube could use more like this.

Love your content!!! Wish they were longer.

This is a very complicated subject an as a over 50 person I've been studying this new info for years now and he has done a great job of explaining it .. I hope the kids pick up on this new info on nutrition...

My friend, you are the King of Analogies and Comparisons. Easy sub. Thanks for the info....And a "like" for reminding me that Byron Allen existed as a presenter in the 80s.

Just found this channel absolutely love it keep up the good work I hope to see more!!

Amazing video my man, subscribed. Keep it up!

Good stuff. Looking forward to the next entry.

I absolutely love your channel. Thank you for your work.

Thank you so much. I have been trying for years to fix my cholesterol issues and now I understand what I'm doing wrong. I had no idea. I appreciate you!!

The butter video came up in my recommended list and now I'm a subscriber.

Just came across your channel and love how you do the presentation. You're going to be a great teacher and I hope your channel continues to grow. Keep up the good work.
