5 minutes in and it sounds like he’s on the right track. But he isn’t the first to say this. Robert Lustig has several lecture presentations on KZread where he explains all of this, going back to at least 2012. Lustig explains how every kind of macro is metabolized and what it metabolizes into. He further explains how the hoax research paid for by the sugar industry in the mid 60s wound up getting one of the paid researchers appointed head of the USDA, which led to the creation of our food pyramid and low fat infatuation, which basically every disease association and the AMA have endorsed for 40 years. That is at the root of why our obesity rate skyrocketed and metabolic disease along with it. But metabolic disease exists in higher numbers in lean people.

20 years as a diabetic, and I was at the end of my rope. My Dr prescribed more insulin, and I gained an extra 20 pounds and felt like crap. I'm on week 6 of Keto and OMAD, and I'm off all medications, and my blood sugar levels are much better than using insulin. I also never have my blood sugar bottom out, which was common for me with insulin. This works. In my opinion it is much easier than taking a load of medicine.

oh my God, yesterday I finally found KZread and your Instagram when I was looking for a doctor who had the same opinion that taking diabetes medicine didn't help my mother's disease at all, it actually made it worse, right? . 28 day ago I threw away all my moms sugar medicine and insulin injections and advised her to fast, only eat 2 time a day and in just one day it has been proven that blood sugar has dropped drastically and anemia has improved. The knowledge from the doctor made me more confident that I was right and I was even more sure that my mother was not sick. Just want to say, you are the best 👍

My 80+ year-old mother is morbidly obese, has swollen ankles, cateracts, osteoarthritis, and all kinds of stuff. I tried pointing her towards some of these videos, but she insists her doctors tell her she is not pre-diabetic, and that she trusts them more than someone from the internet. So I guess I'll just be happy that I've taken care of my own health with the knowledge I've gotten from this channel. You can lead a horse to water, etc.

Another disease strongly linked to insulin resistance is PCOS (Polycystic ovary syndrome). If the ovary cells become insulin resistant, they cannot properly convert testosterone to estrogen, therefore the ovary produces a lot of follicles which cannot ovulate and over time they grow and become cysts.

Doctor, your ability to explain subjects such as this in a way that lay people can understand, may be your greatest gift. Producing the library of videos that you’ve made available by way of KZread is a huge asset to the world, and on a personal level, has been a great benefit to me. I’ve lowered my glucose & A1C numbers into the normal range over the course of the last eighteen months, though my pancreas is still producing too much insulin. Therefore, I have asked my doctor to prescribe a low dose of Metformin which seems to be helping. But my goal is to ultimately not have to take any meds for this. Thank you so much!!

This is a really good video. I was almost obese 3 years ago. I ate pizza, hamburgers, french fries, and many other bad foods. I went to the Doctor for my physical and he said I am becoming pre-diabetic. So I decided to do something about it. I had a type 1 diabetic friend and he told me something that would help. He said, "don't eat anything white." I took his advice and I have lost 58 pounds without any effort. I went from 183 lbs to 125 lbs. I feel much better and he is correct about the insulin levels going down. I don't get hungry like I did when I was addicted to carbs. The only bad thing about this is you have to buy all new clothes.

As a type 1 diabetic for some 30+ years, this advice is what saved my life, some 20+ years ago. Only I didn't have the luxury to watch it on a KZread video. Nor was there any medical professionals, prepared to suggest insulin was the problem, when it was considered the cure. Especially for type 1 patients. I was a brittle diabetic, meaning my blood sugars were erratic and not responding to insulin injections. I was put through the ringer with specialists, but eventually placed in the too-hard basket, because I didn't conform to their treatment model. Eventually told, it was just the progression of the disease - of which, I had a more aggressive case (ie: brittle). Left on my own, I decided to fast - as my body instinctively knew what the problem was. Only when avoiding the high carb diet, recommended for treatment, would my blood sugars stabilise again. I inadvertently discovered the problem was too much insulin, when doctors were prescribing it as the only cure. Which it is, for type 1 patients. But it's the recommended diet, that goes along with prescribed insulin, causing the problems. You described perfectly, how the medical diagnosis is framed within limited parameters. It essentially meets the pharmaceutical treatment plan, rather than recognise and work with, the body's natural predisposition to adapt. Removing myself from that dangerous loop, is what saved my life. So thank-you for verbalising the solution, in a way that recognises the cycle of it's manifestation. Hopefully it will help others, sooner!

First watched this video a couple or three years ago and got a lot out of it. Thought I’d give it another run through and I’m still blown away by the quality of the presentation, the way the individual elements are broken down into a logical order and explained it really is quality. I wish I could deliver my subject matter this well.

Another good one. We've been playing your videos in the office for patients in the waiting room. Great job.

Maybe he would’ve lived to see me walk down the aisle, maybe he could’ve met his great-grandson. We just didn’t know. He died an amputee when I was 18 years old.

This video has so much information that I had to download it incase they take it down for "false non medical information". It is such a good video I'll always show it to anyone seeking for help with health problems! Thanks for the one of the best informative video!!!

The best 1/2 hour presentation on this subject i have ever seen.

Great information, immaculately presented. Thank you Doctor 👍

Another great video Dr. Ekberg! A side note...would you consider doing a video covering HRV Heart Rate Variability. I've only recently heard of it and It's kinda confusing. You always do such a good job explaining things. Thanks!

Very comprehensive video of his many videos on this subject! Great, it’s so subtle and keeps you listening to very end with concentration and many times repeating some segments that keeps you certain in some data that you listening! As always: Thank you!

I finally have a good understanding of what is going on with my blood sugar. Thank you for explaining the information so clearly.

The medical industrial complex's failure to properly research and diagnose and treat insulin resistance and diet and microbiome and sleep and vital nutritional deficiency issues (including those related to Vitamin D3 and Vitamin K2 and Magnesium deficiencies as well as iatrogenic prescription medication usage) is a major reason why psychiatric iatrogenesis is a primary contributor to the third leading cause of death in the U.S. (which is iatrogenesis in general). If the U.S. spent just a fraction of the over $40 billion each year it spends just on iatrogenic psychiatric drugs alone, for properly researching the issues discussed in this and related KZread presentations we would probably, Lord willing, achieve an absolute revolution in medical efficacy improvement and iatrogenesis reduction.

Top class information, wish my doctor would take the time to explain these mechanisms. Great presentation style, professional and interest maintaining. I could sit on the couch and watch Dr Ekberg all day!

My thoughts: most of our doctors can’t explain this to us because THEY DON’T UNDERSTAND IT THEMSELVES. I’m sure there are good, honest Docs who are just unaware of the “slight of hand” being pushed by whoever stands to gain from their (& our) ignorance. 😠

After being pre-diebetic for around 14 years I got diagnosed with type 2 diagnosed with type two diabeties in January 2020 with a blood sugar level of 16! My doctor told me basicly to take metformin and i should be okay. I started with cutting my food and alcohal intake and anthough my wait came down drasticaly. My blood sugar levels stayed alamingly hight even with the medication. I stumbled across your vidios around a year ago and now I've been on e kleen keto diet for 4 months now. My blood sugar levels are now finally under control.Although I've mastered the keto lifestyle I have yet to master intermittent fasting. Thank you Dr. Sten Ekberg!

Thank you for your time in making this video, truly educational.

Outstanding presentation you are an artist with this stuff.

You are the best doctor and most easiest to understand.

Excellent video that reinforces your previous teachings Dr. Ekberg. Thanks and have a great weekend!

Great video!!! I just got back from my doctor’s appointment and this video makes a lot of sense. My doctor wasn’t too happy with me doing keto. He started asking me a lot of questions and he wanted to know in detail what was I eating. He just gave me an order for lab work to check my A1C again after two months because he wants to give me metformin, but I refused. I told him to wait for these new test results and we’ll talk again. It’s scary to go to the doctor these days now. Thanks for sharing this important information

Extremely clear presentation of a complicated subject. I will need to watch it several times to “digest” it all. Thank you for taking the time to explain this.

Great analogy and easy to understand. Thanks for your thoughtful presentation!

You, Dr. Jason Fung et al. have been speaking the truth. I never tire of listening to you all. Thank you.

Another clear explanation. Could you do a video on how to be a healthy vegetarian and avoid insulin resistance?

I'm glad someone is telling folks about it! I told many about it and they argue that I was crazy! Thank you! 🙏

Dr. Ekberg, Thank you for taking the time to make these videos. I have watched other videos but none of them are as informative as your videos. I have started to follow your advice and I have noticed my blood sugar is going down. Thank you.

Another beautiful video Thank you Dr

Thank you so much for talking to us in a way that is very easy to understand, I fought with my doctor insisting I was insulin resistant and he wouldn't give me the Insulin Resistant test. He suggested Prozac to reduce anxiety. It is important to know yourself and help yourself and the internet and your postings have provided me with very valuable information to give me the tools to do so!!!!

You broke one of my long held myths I developed after my Dad passed away from Pancreatic Cancer 11 years ago. I honestly thought the pancreas just burnt out, similar to a car engine “over-revving” and having no rest. His pancreas was cut in half due to the cancer. My myth - He injected insulin into his body because the pancreas couldn’t produce enough insulin. At no stage was the word “insulin resistance” ever mentioned by doctors. Since he was severely under-weight, everyone was force feeding him to gain weight. Me included and now I cannot remove the guilt I have. Dad had some very wrong ideas about eating food and he would react very angrily if he heard something different. He was so scared that I would starve. (He lived thru WW2 and Japanese invasion in China). My brother and I had to eat a lot and eat even lots of cakes, etc as we were growing up. He hated sports - we had to study instead. If Dad was alive today and I showed him this video, he would scream at me and tell me not to fast, eat constantly, be grateful for the cakes he buys. (And to give up my career that involves sports and get an office job.) Even with all of this commonsense knowledge around, stubborn people like my Dad would hate this video, even it was obvious that his cancer was caused by sugar and wrong eating habits. It will take at least two generations before this knowledge is commonsense - I wish I could say I am wrong. I wish everyone would say I am wrong but just look at how we profit from food production.

Never ending knowledge. Well explained and logical. Can not thank you enough.

I reversed my T2 diabetes nearly 2 years ago by eating about 40-45g net carbs a day. I also do daily 18:6 fasting with an occasional 24 hour fast. A1c is now 5.2 without meds. Interestingly my a1c keeps on improving even this late into my journey which shows my body is still healing. Would like to lose a bit more weight and many experts in the keto community have started to advise to go with very low fat protein. Don’t think Low fat is for me though; done that and got the T-shirt lol

Money and Capitalism is NOT the end blame as often pointed to. It is evil in the hearts of people that leads to greed and corruption. In other words, this would, and does happen in all forms of government and common everyday folk. The evil actions have been in the dark, and we need to shine a light on them and everyones own heart.

@@miker7808 The people operating the system are raised and fed by the system. The evil is not one personal entity, is the system *and* the people who adores it. Long before Marx and Jesus there was Moses and his harsh condemnation of the worship of the Golden Calf (Exodus: 1-4, 6, 11-14, 21-24). Nobody needs the reading of the historical-materialist Das Kapital or the Christ's Parables to understand that the Financial Capitalism is the contemporary form of the essence of the Evil. But zombies are zombies, they can't know, by definition, they are possessed. And so, ultimately, it's inutile to argue with these walking dead.

Great overview for the layman, but missing one thing. Root cause. I thought carbs were the root cause for years, but there are paradoxes with that model, left unanswered. Obviously sugar is bad, especially fructose, but newer data is pointing towards Polyunsaturated fats (PUFA) as the root cause. Of particular concern is Linoleic Acid, and oxidized metabolites of linoleic acid (OXLAMs), but excessive PUFA seems to play a role regardless of type. Many PUFA are essential, but not in the quantity we consume the past 150 years. We now consume many times the levels our bodies can handle. At current levels, it is toxic. PUFA oxidizes easily, which is the core of the issue. One mechanism, though there are many: Linoleic Acid can become part of the cardiolipin molecule in the mitochondrial membrane. Here it is exposed to significant oxidative stresses, and readily oxidizes. Once oxidized, cardiolipin changes shape, creating a leaky membrane, and mitochondrial dysfunction. There are also studies on OXLAMs, including 9 & 13 HODE, showing serious consequences. The end result of this is metabolic dysfunction at a mitochondrial level, making one more sensitive to carbs in the diet. Carbs become the colloquial "straw that breaks the camel's back." Short term low carb is absolutely the answer for the metabolically deranged. Long term reducing PUFA, as this is the root cause, but takes time to eliminate from your body, I think the half-life is 1-2 years, though likely depends on diet. What contains PUFA? • Vegetable / Seed oils • Processed foods • Non ruminant animals fed a high PUFA diet( pigs, chicken, fish) • Most restaurant foods (seed oils are cheap) The stuff permeates our food chain, and needs to be eliminated. There's even evidence excessive PUFA one of the major causes of Cancer, Alzheimer's, Atherosclerotisis, heart disease, stroke.. This is the true root cause. Other doctors, researchers, and acholars to reference: Chris Knobbe Thomas Seyfried Tucker Goodrich Many more, but this is a good start.
