I just watched his PBS presentation last night. He seems to have his head wrapped around so much of what we talk about in the keto community, but then follows it up with saying the plate should be filled 75% with veggies and meat should be treated like a condiment…again, right after he affirms that there’s nothing wrong with saturated fat.

(Troy) #3

Yes. I agree
Had some decent nuggets in the “ Broken Brain “ series too
Dr. Berzin was a part of the above as well

(Rob) #4

It’s $2400-4800 for a few presentations, a bit of yoga and some average meals in a swank resort!

Full of naturopaths and self promoters amongst Dr Hyman’s friends.

Compared to KetoFest, it’s a no brainer!! :grin:

:flushed:oh boy
Insane…I would not have even guessed on that.

I should have checked the price of admission first
Wow!!
Thanks for checking on that @Capnbob

Maybe a miss print for them?:wink:
Remove a 0?
$240-$480? :smiley::joy:

Hyman doesn’t get those $5000 suits charging $240 :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Dr. Eric Berg advocates the same thing (“unlimited veggies”).

When you add a certain type of coconut oil into the mix (for those of us that do this) The right one? And when you look at what can be dangerous about saturated fats, I can see why the veggies are an absolute must as explained by Dr. Alyssa Siefert Engineering Director, Yale Center for Biomedical Innovation & Technology (CBIT) (narrated/interviewed by Ben Greenfield)…

Dr. Alyssa Siefert has a tablespoon of unrefined (virgin) coconut oil in her morning coffee, but she is mindful not to exceed a few tablespoons a day unless she is matching this increased LCFA consumption with fiber from whole plant foods, as fiber intake directly correlates with SCFA production in a healthy gut. She also reads labels to ensure she’s consuming organic unrefined (virgin) coconut oil that hasn’t been hydrogenated.

”…Remarkably, feeding mice the SCFA proprionic acid (C3) both prevented the onset and alleviated symptoms of MS. The overall conclusion of this study is that through the intestinal microbiota, LCFA can induce pro-inflammatory T cells, and SCFA can induce anti-inflammatory, regulatory T cells. Therefore, SCFA can mitigate the harmful effects of LCFA. In other words, if you consume SCFA along with your coconut and MCT oil based LCFAs, you mitigate the damage. And where do you get SCFAs in quite generous amounts? You guess it: vegetables. A high-fat diet? Thumbs mostly down. A high-fat diet mixed with a high intake of nutrient-rich, SCFA-inducing plants? Thumbs up. …”

So what are Th17 cells, and why should we care?

Imbalanced T cell subsets drive numerous autoimmune diseases, and an abundance Th17 cells (called Th17-skewed immune system) can result in inflammatory autoimmune disease, including intestinal bowel disorder (IBD) and multiple sclerosis (MS). See, Th17 cells are meant to attack parasites and pathogenic bacteria, but having too many of them in your body can increase the chances of their attacking your own tissues, such as myelin sheaths in the case of MS. But while Th17 cells promote inflammation, they can be balanced by anti-inflammatory regulatory T cells (Tregs), and it is the ratio of pro- and anti-inflammatory T cells, not the absolute number of each cell type, that is predictive of health and disease. Therefore, researchers next quantified the effects of hydrocarbon chain length on Treg differentiation, finding that shorter chain FAs induced Tregs:

To determine if the Th17-skewing effects of LA were relevant to autoimmune diseases, mice with the mouse-version of MS (called EAE) were fed a diet of 30.9% fat with 13.5% of it LA (compared to control diet of 4.2% fat). To relate this dietary regime to humans, for a person eating 2500 calories a day, that’s 750 calories from fat, and 101 calories from LA. Since coconut oil is 120 calories per tablespoon, half of which come from LA, this translates to about 2 TB of coconut oil per day – a pretty reasonable dose. So since the dosing in this paper checks out, you can regard its results as likely relevant to your life (as opposed to studies that give crazy, otherworldly high doses of tested compounds). Anyways, so back to this study. Mice eating higher amounts of LA exhibited Th17-skewing in the intestines, worsened MS symptoms, and changes in the microbiome (reduction in Prevotellaceae and S24-7 of the bacteria Bacteroidetes phylum). Disease worsening was actually worsened by this microbiota shift, as repeating this study with germ-free mice (that have no intestinal microbiota) did not result in Th17-skewing. …” …More

same opinion here, i went to one of his couple-hour seminars 2 years back “Pesco Vegetarian” is what he called it I think.
Given who his current employer is, he doesn’t have a chance. He’ll get pummeled (and likely already has) by more “senior” docs who want EVERYONE on statins.
