Butter, Meat and The Science and Politics of Nutrition l Doctor's Farmacy with Dr. Mark Hyman EP2

Still watching 4 years later. I'm a diabetic and my glucose was highest at 245. That's the upper limit of high, bordering dangerous. I didn't want meds so I did a very low carb diet, fasting OMAD and cycling for exercise. 6 weeks later my glucose went down to 120. You're right. Our diet is killing us slowly.

I have been a nurse for 35 years and have seen the explosion of metabolic syndrome. It’s catastrophic effect on the inpatient population can not be overstated. You both are doing amazing work . Information is power.

I started at 318 lbs in 2016. I was taking insulin 2 to 3 times per day up to 110 units. I literally searched the web like a madman and found the ketogenic diet. They were not saying it would cure diabetes at that time but it would at least help it and reduce the meds. I started the Keto Diet approx. 3 years ago. Have lost 75 pounds (without exercise, I just had a hip revision and couldn't exercise before now), reduced my blood pressure, reduced my reflux a lot (stopped myself from getting esophagus surgery), stopped Insulin (A1C of between 5 and 5.5), stopped Prilosec, stopped having sleep apnea, reduced my inflammation so my hip replacements are comfortable. I love good satiating Saturated Fats. Why aren't doctors SCREAMING this information to the heavens. I know it's a money issue (from many directions) so I guess they choose to sell their souls to the Devil to keep quiet????? Yes I agree don't listen to the Government anymore.

Wow. I JUST noticed, after watching this all the way to the end that when Nina said the "floaters in my eyes are gone" that I haven't had a floater in my eyes since I changed my diet this year. 6 months in and just never even noticed it before. Another crazy immediate benefit.

Nina is one of my few living heroes. Truly a brilliant, effective woman.

For what it’s worth. I’ve been (mostly) sugar free, and grain free for about a year. For over 20 years, I’ve had lower back issues (several microdiscectomy procedures, injections, etc.) and was hardly ever NOT in pain. Now, after a year of a Keto-ish lifestyle change, I have forgotten about back pain! About 3 months ago, I broke down and drank some beers with some old Marine buddies, back pain and joint pain the very next day. I’m sold!

I was vegan for 2 1/2 years and one day I couldn't stopped craving meat.Had a steak with lemon thyme butter and almost immediately felt my energy level hit the roof.4 mths on and I've never looked back.

My 90 year old grandfather ate steak for 40 years because he worked in a slaughterhouse and it was free. He's in great shape today with no major health issues. My father ate the SAD diet and lots of sugar, had a heart attack at age 60 and passed away at 65 from diabetes.

I absolutely LOVE Nina Teicholz and her work - she has brought so much important work and nutritional information into the "light" and exposed the entire "fat is bad, meat is bad, eggs are bad, etc" for the BIG BIG LIES they are. A huge thanks to Nina Teicholz and others like her.

I got good news from the doctor the other day, 3 months ago my a1c blood 🩸 test said I was pre diabetic.i was so afraid 😱 didn’t want to be diabetic so I went on keto program ,then the carnivore and had my blood test . It was 5.9 pre diabetic, - my new test 5.5 normal I’m so happy about being healthy eating this way . Thank you 🙏 every body on You Tube for helping me with my success,!

I have always ate a low fat diet and have struggled with my weight. Long story short my husband and I went to a functional medical Dr. that suggested a diet with meat for breakfast, lunch and dinner with veggies at lunch and dinner and to my surprise the weight came off effortlessly 😱 I was amazed!!! I like what you said Mark - if man made it don’t eat it but if GOD. Made it eat eat 🤩 great podcast thanks for all the info 😊😊

I’ve been keto 2.5 yrs and lately experimenting increasing beef, mineral salt, pasture eggs, decreasing all other keto foods. I’m 49, great energy, and my mental & emotional health is improving by leaps & bounds! Had labs at 1yr post keto and 2yr - both good. Total cholesterol is 225 not that I’m concerned but other people want to know. I’m gearing up to start strength training again. I power walk 3-6 miles almost everyday. Thank God for ketosis and the things I’m learning from Internet Docs, testimonials, and other great teachers. So thankful. I believe ketosis and elimination of most frankenfoods is going to improve many people’s health. I’m hoping it makes a difference in years to come with metabolic & cognitive lifestyle based disease. 🙏🏼 Thank you Doc!!

Thanks for having Nina on. I was 20 pages into her book when I came across this podcast. Nina is brilliant and even with all the science and facts, family and friends all think I’m crazy. Keep up the great science based research! Dr. Hyman you are awesome and I’ve been following you for several years.

I went to Zambia last year to visit my fiancé who was working there at the time and basically the only form of fat was soybean oil. I remember not liking anything because I found it stinky (now I know the oil went rancid because it was unstable) and it was nearly impossible to wash the dishes. I was so relieved to go back home and eat my beloved lard 😁

Despite the warnings about saturated fat, I've eaten meat and dairy, including butter, my whole life. I'm 65 and in perfect health.

I love Nina!! Smart and class act!! Another great interview!! Thanks Dr Hyman❤️

Great interview. I just want to acknowledge Sally Fallon and the late lipid researcher, Mary Enig who were trying to get the word out about healthy fats many years ago. My second edition copy of Nourishing Traditions is dated 1999. Fallon and others founded the Weston A Price Foundation which has been testifying before congress about the harmful lowfat dietary guidelines for years. The foundation has been on the cutting edge of science based nutrition and healthy safe agricultural practices.

Great interview. Thank you both. Can't wait for evidence based science to help humanity move forward into a healthy future.

I bought the book "The Obesity Code" by Dr. Jason Fung, MD, and gave the book as a gift to my primary care doctor. The book does an excellent job explaining how hormones make people gain or lose weight in layperson's language. For the doctor, there's a big "Endnotes" section listing all the research that Dr. Fung read to write the book. I highly encourage other people to give that book to their doctors.

Dr. Hyman, it would be really convenient if the names of your episodes also mentioned the names of your guests. You interview many well known and influential people and their names would create more attention as well as make it easier to search later on. And thank you for the great content.
