Nick your channel is the best, I love the fact you report on real studies and present in way us meer mortals can understand, I have severe (anaphylaxis) egg and nut allergies all my life, which are counter productive on Keto, but I am good for sesame seeds, so I'm going to give Tahini a go... Thank you so much for your posts, I'm learning everyday... I also beat stage 4 colon cancer on Keto with fasting, without any chemotherapy, but I did have the tumor remains removed in 2021... I was given a 40% chance of surviving 2 years... Today I am cancer free...
Thank you so much for this video! I had pancreatitis a few years ago and may have chronic pancreatitis now. My mother passed away from pancreatic cancer last year, so this topic hits close to home. I’m currently on a keto diet, and while it’s frustrating to know that pancreatic cancer can be resistant to keto, I’m incredibly thankful for this new information on combining a ketogenic diet with an eIF4E inhibitor. It’s so encouraging to see new potential ways to fight this cancer!
I’ve read widely about and been in ketosis for most of the last twenty years but this is the first I’ve heard about the sesame oil/butter ability to ramp up the ketones. I really enjoy your vlogs; thank you for making all this incredible content.
The research this man is doing will revolutionize what we understand about health and nutrition
Interesting mice study at the end. When I had cancer (Melanoma) and get it worse to stage 4 I was scheduled to start immunotherapy treatment. I began going very hard keto (25g carb, high fat - low protein ratio, taking exogenous ketones in morning to ramp up it up) just as my treatment started. I can't say with any kind of proof but I'll always be convinced that timing them together like that worked in my advantage so that it provided an extra shock to the cancer cells (starvation via keto, immune enhancement via treatment) before they had time to adapt which allowed my body to get rid of the cancer.
I have been waiting years to hear someone even mention that some cancers can thrive on a fatty acid fuel source. Fascinating stuff! Thank you once again.
So in a nutshell, 3 to 4 tablespoons of sesame oil or tahini with dinner before a 24hr fast will increase ketone levels equivalent to a 6 day fast.
Nick, you are TRULY moving to the forefront of "online" , highly qualified, metabolic research diffusion. Always cutting edge. Thank you !
Too bad I lost trust in medical research. We knew from the 60s about Keto, and food pyramid is still pushed on us. There are entire aisles in Grocery store that should be illegal and there are still advertised as heart healthy. 🤨
Nick is one of the most reliable and informative scientist on YouTube.
protect this man at any cost!
Dr Bikman discussed which fats are best to generate ketones in one of his videos. His position is that body can't store shorter chain fatty acid (8C or under) so they are turned into ketones. According to him this is why MCT oils are so effective for raising ketone levels. Oleic and Linoleic are both C18. How does it work then?
Great way to start the week! Really so much fun to learn this content. Thanks Nick!
Ok, Nick, now all you have to do is tell us how to activate the 4E inhibitor, and we can cure pancreatic cancer! Snap! I always watch your posts, and yeah, sometimes you get slightly technical, but you provide way more info and divergent subjects than most of the sites, with the possible exception of Nic on Physionics. The two of you must attend the same comedy workshop, the jokes are worth the price of admission.
You should do a podcast-youtube video about the last point with Dr. Seyfried, that would be an amazing discussion! As always great vid!
Fascinating! For those of us with ketone monitors at home: LET THE TAHINI EXPERIMENTS BEGIN!
Amazing stuff NIck! As a scientists, I can barely dig through the countless studies but you seem to have a nack for finding these gems. Keep spreading the science!
Funny how 99% of our food is processed. Anything the FDA says to eat I just do the opposite. I recommend reading “Health and Beauty Mastery” by Julian Bannet, that book is a real eye opener about shocking stuff health industry is doing! I completely changed my habits
What I appreciate most about you is your intellectual conscientiousness. Often, I observe most “science-based” media hastily refer to studies to justify advice or health claims, without any further discussion of the results, hypothetical or theoretical mechanisms. Rather, you offer a deeper and broader scientific perspective that— I think— provides a relatively much greater net good to the consumption of media.
