Which is healthier, yogurt, or ice cream? You may instantly think yogurt is the healthier option. But is it? 
 
1 cup (128g) of ice cream:
• Has about 28g of sugar per cup 
 
1 cup (128g) of sweetened yogurt:
• Yoplait — 41g of sugar 
• GoGurt — 38.2g of sugar 
• Dannon — 36g of sugar 
• Dannon Activia — 43g of sugar 

Many times the type of sugar used in yogurt is:
• High fructose corn syrup 
• Modified corn starch 
• Corn syrup 
 
Quantity of certain foods consumed in 1970 vs. 2015:
• Beef decreased by 33%
• Chicken increased by 116%
• Corn products increased by 180%
• Corn sweeteners increased by 300%
• Grains increased by 127%
• Soy increased by 190% 
• Vegetable oils increased by 270%
• Yogurt increased by 1600% 
 
Yogurt could potentially be one of the significant factors of added sugar in the diet that causes insulin resistance. 
 
What to do if you consume yogurt:
• Make sure it’s plain
• Make sure it’s made with whole milk 
• Try Bulgarian yogurt
• Try kefir
• Use drops of stevia as a sweetener instead of buying sweetened yogurt

7:12 Keto recipes channel promo

In this video, we’re going to talk about how you can get rid of stiffness and feel younger again. When I was 28, I felt very stiff and old—I felt like I was in my 50s. Now that I’m in my 50s, I feel like I’m in my 20s. But how?

Back then, I consumed a lot of carbohydrates. A high-carb diet will stiffen your joints up. It creates a lot of inflammation.

There are four major causes of stiffness I want to talk about in this video.

#1. Too much iron – Having too much iron creates a lot of inflammation in the body. It also creates problems in your liver. There are many sources of iron. Grains, red meat, and multivitamin supplements are the most common sources of too much iron.

#2. Vegetable oils – “Vegetable” oils—which are really just seed oils—can cause a lot of stiffness and inflammation. You want to avoid corn, soy, canola, and cottonseed oils. You can replace these with butter, olive oil, and coconut oil.

#3. Not enough fish oil/cod liver oil – Omega-3 fatty acids are vital to reducing inflammation and stiffness. If you don’t have enough omega-3s and you have too much omega-6s, you will have a lot of inflammation. Consume more fish oil and cod liver oil. You want to also consume fatty fish and sardines.

#4. Not enough vitamin K2 – Vitamin K2 is a type of vitamin that drives calcium out of the joints and other soft tissues and then transports it into the bone. Always take vitamin K2 when you take vitamin D3. These work together to reduce stiffness in your joints and muscles.

If you have digestive issues—especially low bile—you will have a difficult time digesting essential fatty acids. This is often a problem with the gallbladder. Bile salts can help fix this problem.

Are your blood sugars high in the mornings despite doing keto and fasting? Try this. 

Timestamps:
0:00 High blood sugars in the morning 
0:15 What causes high blood sugars in the mornings?
0:54 Why is the insulin dysfunctional? 
1:28 What could you do?

Today we’re going to talk about what happens if your blood sugars are high in the mornings. Let’s say you’re doing keto and intermittent fasting, but you’re blood sugars are higher in the morning. Why is that? 

Well, if your carbs are less than 10g per day, you may need to lower your carbs. But, if you’re hardly consuming any carbs, this could be because your insulin resistance is so severe your insulin can’t handle even a small amount of carbs. 

The insulin could be dysfunctional because the cells that make insulin are not fully there. You don’t have enough beta cells in the pancreas to produce the insulin necessary to keep the blood sugars in check. 

There are four things you could do. All of these things target and support the beta cells of the pancreas. 

What you could do:
1. Berberine 
2. Beef pancreas (Ancestral) 
3. Milk thistle 
4. Exercise

Numerous vitamin D testing challenges can prevent accurate results. Here’s what you need to know.

Timestamps
0:00 Why testing vitamin D is tricky
0:20 How much vitamin D should you have?
0:58 The two forms of vitamin D
1:40 Inactive to active vitamin D conversion process
2:50 Other causes of poor vitamin D conversion
3:58 Key takeaways

In this video, I’m going to talk to you about vitamin D testing challenges. Vitamin D can be tricky to measure in the body. There’s not yet an agreed-upon value for ideal vitamin D levels in your blood. The “recommended” amount of vitamin D in your blood can range from 16 mg/mL to 50 mg/mL.

The institute of medicine will tell you that you need around 600-800 IUs of vitamin D per day. However, The Endocrinology Society will say that you need 1,000-2,000 IUs a day.

As you can see, no one agrees on the ideal amount of vitamin D.

There are two forms of vitamin D:
• 25 hydroxyvitamin D (inactive)
• 1,25 dihydroxy vitamin D (active)

Most of the vitamin D in your blood is the inactive form. In fact, this is the kind of vitamin D that most people check.

The inactive form of vitamin D goes through the liver and to the kidney. The kidney is where the inactive form of vitamin D is converted into the active form.

But what if there’s damage to the kidneys? You lose your conversion capacity. This is a common problem for those with diabetes and insulin resistance.

I estimate that 65-75% of the entire population that insulin resistance. This is going to alter your ability to convert inactive vitamin D into active vitamin D.

Having “normal” levels of the inactive form of vitamin D does not mean you have healthy levels of the active form.

Polymorphism, low bile, malabsorption, and inflammation can also cause altered vitamin D conversion.

Can skipping meals make your metabolism worse? Here’s what you need to know.

Timestamps
0:00 Does skipping meals worsen your metabolism?
0:10 How fasting works
1:09 High-insulin conditions
2:16 How does your metabolism slow down?
3:00 Skipping meals does NOT slow your metabolism!

In this video, I want to answer the question, “does skipping meals worsen your metabolism?”

Fasting and intermittent fasting is when you decrease your number of meals. Fasting lowers the hormone called insulin in your body. Insulin controls a fat-dissolving enzyme known as hormone-sensitive lipase. This is a fat-burning enzyme.

What this means is that high levels of insulin block the fat-burning enzyme.

When you lower insulin, you trigger the three most important fat-burning hormones:
• Growth hormone (GH)
• Glucagon
• Noradrenaline

High insulin conditions include:
• PCOs
• Obesity
• Metabolic syndrome
• Diabetes
• Cushing’s syndrome

Those with these conditions have a low metabolism.

If you want to slow down the metabolism (and gain weight), consume frequent small meals that are high in carbohydrates and low in calories. This is going to cause seriously slow metabolism and increase weight gain. These diets just don’t work.

Fasting does not slow your metabolism—it boosts it.

14:33 Final thoughts

In this video, I want to talk about what to do if you stalled when doing intermittent fasting. I get this question a lot from my viewers and guests on my live show, and I wanted to create this video to cover all of the basics.

Our bodies have been evolving for hundreds of thousands of years. Starvation has played a part in this process. Starvation is a risk to your survival. Humans have gone through a lot of periods of starvation. We’ve developed and adapted certain mechanisms to help us survive.

When you start fasting, signals are sent to the brain to let it know that food is scarce. Your hormones and cells then adapt and become more efficient.

During fasting, the body starts to tap into your fat stores.

For survival purposes, your body wants to stay fat so that it maintains energy to use during periods of starvation.

1 lb of fat is the equivalent of 3,500 calories. So just eat fewer calories and exercise more, right? Wrong! Traditional weight-loss tactics rarely work.

Your metabolism plays a massive role here. Hormones will slow down your metabolism if you eat less, which can cause you to gain weight.

Fasting helps you get rid of your glycogen reserve—which is stored glucose and water.

The key hormone that keeps your body at a stall is insulin. If you have high insulin, you cannot lose fat. If it’s low, you can lose fat.

Focus on lowering your insulin, and you will have a much easier time losing weight.

A simple way to tell if your insulin levels are high is if you have a very strong appetite. If your insulin levels are low, your cravings go away.

If you can’t go a few hours without getting hungry, you have high insulin and insulin resistance.

The following 8 things will help you keep your insulin low. I put them in order of effectiveness.

1. Fast longer (don’t eat unless you’re hungry)
2. Lower carbs (including hidden carbs)
3. Lower stress
4. Increase sleep (7-8 hours)
5. Decrease fat (75g)
6. Exercise
7. Avoid certain medications
8. Reduce insulin resistance

When you’re fasting, you want to eliminate all macronutrients (carbs, protein, and fat) but still have some micronutrients (vitamins, minerals, trace minerals, and amino acids).

Is bread or potato worse for your health? Watch this video to find out.

Timestamps
0:00 Bread vs. potato: what’s worse?
0:10 Types of potato on the Glycemic index
1:33 Types of bread on the Glycemic index
2:22 How bread and potatoes affect blood sugar levels
3:00 Which is worse?

In this video, we’re going to talk about bread and potatoes. Which of these is worse in your diet?

Let’s take a look at potatoes by evaluating where they’re at on the glycemic index. The glycemic index is used to measure how much a particular type of food affects your blood sugar levels. The higher on the index a food it, the worse it is for your blood sugar levels.

Potato
• Instant potato: 97 (close to pure glucose)
• Baked potato: 84
• Boiled potato: 82
• Raw potato: Very low

As you can see, over-processing or cooking potatoes makes them bad for you. You could eat as many raw potatoes, and you won’t have a problem. However, cooking them breaks down the starch and makes them extremely high on the glycemic index.

Even sweet potatoes are high on the glycemic index. They have 3x more sugar than regular potatoes.

Now let’s take a look at the glycemic index of bread.

Bread
• Whole wheat bread: 74
• White bread: 74

As you can see, whole wheat and white bread are both the same on the glycemic index. They are also lower than cooked potatoes.

However, bread often contains harmful substances, including:
• Bleach – this lowers your level of vitamin E
• Phytate – this reduces your zinc levels
• Gluten – this causes gut inflammation

Bread causes a delayed spike of insulin and blood sugar levels. It can often take 2-3 hours before you see a blood sugar spike. You get an instant spike of blood sugar levels with potatoes.

The average American consumes 53 lbs of bread every year.

The question is, which is worse: bread or potatoes? Well, they are both bad in their own way. Potatoes will cause more instant blood sugar issues, and bread will cause more inflammation and nutrient deficiencies.
