<b>Key Points to Remember After You Watch The Video. (Thank Me Later):</b><br>1. Studies show that for people over 100, a blood pressure of 129 to 130 is actually quite normal and healthy (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H16rlTfFz3s">0:00</a>-<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H16rlTfFz3s&t=18">0:18</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H16rlTfFz3s&t=1034">17:14</a>-<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H16rlTfFz3s&t=1060">17:40</a>).<br><br>2. Low carb or carnivore diets help control hunger and sugar levels much better than just eating simple foods like apples and potatoes (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H16rlTfFz3s&t=182">3:02</a>-<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H16rlTfFz3s&t=386">6:26</a>).<br><br>3. Vitamin B12 is super important for staying alive, and since it is only found in animal foods, vegans really need to check their levels often (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H16rlTfFz3s&t=436">7:16</a>-<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H16rlTfFz3s&t=523">8:43</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H16rlTfFz3s&t=655">10:55</a>-<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H16rlTfFz3s&t=793">13:13</a>).<br><br>4. If you have high cholesterol or depression, your doctor should look for root causes like a lack of B12 instead of just giving you a pill right away (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H16rlTfFz3s&t=745">12:25</a>-<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H16rlTfFz3s&t=775">12:55</a>).<br><br>5. Doctors often struggle with deprescribing because they aren't trained on how to safely take patients off medications as their health improves (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H16rlTfFz3s&t=1336">22:16</a>-<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H16rlTfFz3s&t=1452">24:12</a>).<br><br>6. When you stop taking certain medicines like antidepressants, you should use a slow, steady approach called a logarithmic taper to avoid feeling sick (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H16rlTfFz3s&t=1755">29:15</a>-<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H16rlTfFz3s&t=1800">30:00</a>).<br><br>7. Always ask your doctor to show you the actual science or papers behind a new medicine instead of just following general guidelines (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H16rlTfFz3s&t=2053">34:13</a>-<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H16rlTfFz3s&t=2133">35:33</a>, 145:02-145:37).<br><br>8. Chronic infections are often an overlooked reason why someone might have high LDL cholesterol (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H16rlTfFz3s&t=3159">52:39</a>-<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H16rlTfFz3s&t=3285">54:45</a>).<br><br>9. If you feel sick or dizzy when starting a low carb diet, you are likely just low on salt and other electrolytes (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H16rlTfFz3s&t=3352">55:52</a>-<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H16rlTfFz3s&t=3480">58:00</a>).<br><br>10. Using a continuous glucose monitor is a great way to see in real time how different foods affect your body's sugar levels (124:15-126:50).<br><br>11. You do not need to eat special plant chemicals called phytonutrients because your body does not require them to function well (127:21-128:00).<br><br>12. Boron is an important mineral that is often missing from our soil, and it can help with bone health and reducing pain (133:49-139:34).<br><br>13. The idea that eating too much animal protein hurts your kidneys is a myth that is not supported by real evidence (139:34-142:00).<br><br>14. Healthy kidneys do not get damaged by eating plenty of protein, and even people with some kidney issues may not need to restrict it (142:00-145:02).<br><br>15. When you travel, try to make the best food choices you can in that environment, but remember that being perfect is not always possible (104:58-108:12).<br><br>16. You can lose your sweet tooth by switching to a diet that makes your brain and body feel full and happy without needing constant sugar (108:12-115:18).<br><br>Hope I hit 100K subscribers soon.... so my dad stops thinking I’m wasting time helping people. 💪💪💪

Thank you from the Bronx NY. <br> Years ago , the LOW CARB DOWN UNDER channel on you tube<br> helped me transition to Carnivore<br>with massive healing as a result. <br><br>i feel a great debt to PAUL and a few others too. <br> & now THIS format, Alison & Paul's conversation about viewers' comments , <br>as opposed to podium lectures, is pure win !

I was obsessed with my blood pressure numbers until I read Stop Feeding Disease by Mark Keller 😥 it made me focus on the bigger picture, I dropped 22lbs, my BP stabilized, energy through the roof, skin cleared, I feel like I can actually live longer now, this book is amazing)

Dear Paul and Alison thank you so much for this information. I am a 48year old gent who donated a kidney to a diabetic sibling and was told to avoid protein as much as possible. It did just not make sense to me as a Pharmacist and I decided to go keto/carnivore.<br>Turns out my gut feeling might have saved me 🙏🏻

Way to go, Alison--you were a great interviewer. You let Paul expound on his answers and then expertly brought him back to the next question. Thanks to you both for making such an informative and easy-to-listen-to episode!

Thank you for the discussion about boron. I think the majority of people are still not aware of its importance.
