Overview of Keto and Intermittent Fasting:
Hey guys so i recently had a question from someone who was on humera and they wanted to know if there’s any type of alternative okay well first of all i want to tell you if you’re taking this medication i’m not telling you to come off your medication check with your doctor this video is just to give you some background information for you and your doctor to do
Research in some possible alternatives the thing you need to know about humira is it is a blockbuster prescription drug okay and blockbuster meaning it’s over 1 billion dollars in fact last year the sales were over 16 billion dollars and if i’m not mistaken it’s it’s the top-selling drug what it does is it lowers inflammation so it’s an anti-inflammatory okay so
There’s a lot of people out there that have inflammation whether it’s arthritis bursitis tendinitis all the itis a–‘s or autoimmune and this drug targets inflammation one of the big problems i see in america is that we are on way too many prescription drugs 70% of the population is on at least one drug in the us with over four billion prescriptions written in the
Us every single year that’s 13 medications for every man woman and child i think that’s a little excessive what do you think with over thirty percent of the prescriptions never even filled because it’s expensive okay and it’s hard to afford those medications so what i’m going to recommend is a different solution to actually fix the underlying reason why you have
Inflammation and i’m not going to recommend going to the health of store and taking a pill tumeric or some type of omega-3 fatty acid to try to get rid of inflammation because i’ve been in practice for thirty years those things do not work unless you fix the person’s eating their general eating plan okay glucose is highly inflammatory it’s a potent trigger for
Inflammation okay then cludes all types of sugar vegetable oils that you would get in the store soy corn canola omega-6 are also inflammatory and then we get to insulin okay is anti-inflammatory but high levels of insulin in blood are inflammatory okay so it can go either way so what happens is that when you consume too much glucose or sugar or carbs okay what
Happens is you’re gonna start increasing insulin and then the insulin is going to develop into a condition called insulin resistance so it’s not going to work anymore so that means on the inside of the cell we’re gonna have low amounts of insulin so remember insulin is anti-inflammatory so if you don’t have enough you’re going to get the opposite effect yet in the
Blood because of the feedback mechanisms you’re gonna start developing higher and higher amounts of insulin to try to connect and create the effect because insulin is trying to lower this glucose in the blood so we have a situation that we have insulin resistance and that is creating more and more inflammation okay and if you just do research on insulin resistance
You’re gonna find a ton of data on the connection between this and your inflammatory condition okay if you can actually lower insulin resistance you can lower inflammation greatly okay when you want to do it through eating okay we want to change your eating a better practice for 30 years in every single inflammatory case that came in my office because i dealt with
Pain inflammation all day long the diet was just a filled with carbohydrates okay and they were eating too frequently they’re usually hypoglycemic eating very frequently to have all these snacks or they were pre-diabetic or they were just doing a lot a lot of carbs okay tons of carbs and what they didn’t know is the relationship between carbohydrates and inflammation
So as soon as they got that knowledge and went on a low-carb eating plan information just kind of went away so but you want to combine two things to drop inflammation you want to go to a low carb and we call that healthy ketosis and you also wanted to intermittent fasting because that is even more powerful to reduce inflammation than just doing healthy keto now
If you’ve never heard about keto i put a link down below of exactly how to do it so i recommend check with your doctor get on this eating plan and experience no more pain no more inflammation you have to test this up for yourself to see that it will work for you thanks for watching so i want to know about what you think about this video so please comment below and tell me what you think
