Have you made a video about sglt2 inhibitors? I searched but didn't find one.

And I would suspect the patient would also need environmental support.. from family/friends and community as far as having good dietary choices available.

@@AzaleaBee I make far-worse dietary choices than I used to make when I tried moderate caloric restriction. I'm also far-healthier, because I fast and I supplement with K2, which we're deficient in since the industrialization of food production. We should be mindful not to overcomplicate the issue.

Elevation of TG's and LDL have a genetic component too which can't be easily rectified without medicines. But maintaining the healthy way of life that you mentioned really is most important even with marginally raised lipid values

I live in Australia and most doctors do not believe it is possible to reverse type 2.. Metformin is the way to go so it seems...

Thank you for your hard work and promotion of VALID techniques. Traditional, yes, but now backed by science a thousand times over. Some benefits of doing occasional extended fasting: High blood pressure is lowered to normal levels very quickly while fasting. Fibrosis/scarring is reversed over time. Fasting increases nitric oxide release. Fasting restores NAD+ to healthy levels. Vitamin D plasma levels are increased as fasting improves metabolic health, and vitamin D in turn increases autophagy. Fasting stimulates phagocytosis, the ingestion of bacteria, plaques and viruses by the immune system. It will also remove any 'foreign material' like spikes that are not supposed to be there. Whether natural or unnatural in origin.. Reflexes and short term memory are increased. Fasts from 36-96 h increase metabolic rate due to norepinephrine release! After 72 hours or more fasted, your body recycles up to 1/3 of all immune bodies, rejuvenating your entire immune system. Fasting can help with MS, Depression, BPD, Autism and seizures. Thymus is regenerated, which suppresses aging and renews the immune system. The thymus also plays a vital role in fighting cancer. Blood sugar and insulin are lowered when fasting, allowing white blood cells to move more freely throughout the body and do their job. Some viruses activate glycolosis (the release of sugar in the body) and clinically it has been shown that decreasing glucose metabolism in the body weakens the influenza virus. Weight loss from daily caloric restriction has 1/4 to 1/3 of the weight lost as lean tissue while many studies show fat loss from 36 h fasts without losing any lean tissue! The hunger hormone ghrelin also lowers with extended fasting and rises from dieting. When you move out of MTOR your body shuts down the building blocks of the cell required for viruses to replicate. What breaks a fast? Anything with protein or carbohydrates in it will break a fast. Most teas and herbs are OK. Most supplements and meds will either break ketosis directly or contain a filler that will. Many meds are dangerous to take while fasting. Does fasting lower testosterone? No, it raises it when the fast is broken by increasing lutenizing hormone. Fasting also increases insulin sensitivity, which helps with muscle building. Fasts of 36-96 will not affect short term female fertility or affect menstrual cycle. They also may increase long term fertility, especially in women with PCOS. Fasting reduces pain and anxiety by stimulating the endocannabinoid system in a similar way to CBD oil. Fasting very quickly reduces leptin resistance, which impairs immune function. Stomach acid is reduced over time while fasting and can allow for the healing of treatment resistant ulcers. Some patients may need continued acid reduction medication while fasting. Does the body preferentially prefer glucose as a fuel? No. Except for brief periods of very intense exercise, your body mainly burns fats in the form of free fatty acids. Your brain also prefers to burn ketones at a rate of around 2.5 to 1 when they are available in equal quantity to glucose. Fasting stimulates the AMPK complex and activates autophagy. Autophagy (literally self eating) will cause cells to recycle foreign matter such as viruses and kill cancerous and senescent cells Lowering insulin via fasting virtually eliminates chronic inflammation in the body. It increases mitochondrial function and repairs mitichondrial DNA, leading to improved ATP production and oxygen efficiency. Increased mitochondrial function also has the added benefit of increasing your metabolism, fighting infection and cancer prevention! Fasting releases BDNF and NGF in the blood which stimulates new nerve and brain cell growth. This can help a great deal with diseases like MS, peripheral neuropathy and Alzheimers. When not in ketosis, the brain can only burn carbohydrate, which produces a great deal of damaging ROS the brain has to deal with. Fasting also increases telomere length, negating some of the effects of aging at a cellular level. When you fast, this stimulates apoptosis in senescent or genetically damaged cells, destroying them. Senescent cells are responsible for many of the effects of aging and are a root cause of the development of cancer. A fasting mimicking diet for 3-5 days in a row also provides many of the same benefits as water fasting. FMD usually has 200-800 calories, under 18 g of protein and extremely low carbs. Exogenous ketones can aid with fasting, making it easier in healthy people and allowing some people with specific issues to fast in spite of them without worrying as much about hypoglycemia. Children, pregnant or nursing women should not fast for periods longer than 16 hours. People with pancreatic tumors or certain forms of hypoglycemia generally cannot fast at all. Type 1 diabetics can also fast but it is more complicated and should be approached with caution as it could lead to ketoacidosis. If you experience extreme symptoms of some kind, especially dizziness or tremors, then simply break the fast and seek advice.

Awesome!

How did you modify your therapy while doing intermittent fasting because you're not supposed to take meds on an empty stomach?

That's awesome. I am type 2. Do you know if I have fatty liver, can i do keto and fasting? Thank you 🌷

@@lili.h1813100%sure you can reverse fatty liver also with low carb diet

​@@lili.h1813 yes and u have you that

He is an angel 😇

@@lili.h1813yes, keto is the best, remember to get low carb diet.

hey, did you go down from 8.6 to 5.3 with no medication as well?

What kind of diet are u on?

I'd love to know more about your journey. 💪🙏🙌

@@pk6016 it went from 8.6 to 6.8 with medication then I got to 5.3 on my own. That was a couple months ago it's likely lower now.

@@jgrysiak6566 low carbohydrate although I don't count carbs. Little to no processed foods. Meat, vegetables, fruit, dairy. No vegetable oils.

Wow! So good to hear! Giving up highly processed "foods" (aka food-like substances) is so important. And kudos to you on OMAD. One full month of OMAD was harder for me than any extended fasts I've done.

Great story! But a1c doesn't matter. How's your triglycerides HDl and fasting insulin? That'll tell you *everything*

Very good! Consider also adding some taurine to your diet as well, which will also help undo the damage and reduce insulin resistance.

U are iodine deficient, that's why u are low thyroid!

First and foremost congratulations on improving your health so dramatically- how key was the purchase of the glucometer in achieving the results?? ( I’ve been thinking about getting one for myself for this reason)

Portion control works for almost no one. I suppose doctors are always looking for someone who can lose weight doing that.

Thank you doctor you are Great

Daibetes assc takes money from coca cola and many others, that says it all about what they promote.

@@LTPottenger Absolutely. We are still in this by ourselves... but thank goodness the internet is available for people to easily do their own research and connect.

Hi ,just asking a question .Which type of medication where you on ?and how did you adjust them while doing OMAD to avoid that you sugar goes down

How did you do ghis in six weeks

Same question how did you do in just 6weeks

High animal protein diets turn on cancer as per Dr. T Colin Campbell & also lack of Iodine in our water & food!

I did a 5-day fast. Very therapeutic for the mind ... 😌👌

@vkpskulls how much time did it take for that?? My HbA1C is 10.3 right now I just started with the fasting a week back. Please give some suggestions

yes!!!

What a stupid thing to say. Your doc should be ashamed of himself. Luckily my hubby's gp told him to keep doing what he's doing even though his TC and LDL are very high.

Does Dr Fung advocate no fibre? No vegetables, only carnivore???

@@renatasimkus6381No, he seems to be more flexible about which foods you can eat. Though I have seen him recommend low carb.

CONGRATULATIONS 👍. I just found Dr Fung. I am type II diabetes, and I believe it is all about what we eat, fasting and exercise to fix it. Do you use Splenda or Stevia? I noticed that when I get a coffee AM, right after the coffee with Splenda my sugar level goes higher like 30 points. Thank you 🌷

​@@lili.h1813ابتعد عنهما فيهم ضرر كبير على المدى الطويل ابتعد عن السكر .الشاي والقهوة بدون سكر احسن

@@lili.h1813Your body will still release insulin when you eat artificial sweeteners

​@@lili.h1813 Splenda is worse then sugar and taste of Stevia is yack. I use erythritol/monk fruit sugar from Costco and my coffee tastes great!

@@EdTheWretch You are right Ed. No more Splenda. Stevia is really yack 😀. I will get the monk sugar. Thank you! 🌷

You must have been very very heavy set to lose that much weight in a month. Either way Congrats and God Bless wishing you to attain even further successful achievements and goals with your new sustainable life style.

What!! I've been fasting longer and yet to see such results... that's crazy and these are the reasons that make me give up at times. Happy for you by the way .

I honestly think they take a course in medical college that teaches them how to keep us sick so they can get rich lol

@@maryfolks9368 I agree.

@@maryfolks9368They spend 10x more time on learning prescription writing than they do human nutrition

@@maryfolks9368 Doc: "Holy Moly! If they all get healthy, how will I make the payments on my Maserati?"

Another Awesome video Thanks Much Love ❤❤❤

Do u know why u still have high blood pressure?

@@jgrysiak6566 Hello J. Grysiak: My Doctor was mentioning that as I lose more weight, it will probably come down more. At one point, it was 210/100. Now, it varies anywhere from 120-140/80-90.
