If there was only one thing you could do to directly increase your health, your vitality, it would be to increase your IGF-1. This is so …

Is there anyway we can download the template for your excel spreadsheet that covers all of those lab reports that you frequently talk about in your various videos?
This is a contradiction. In a previous video you mentioned milk increases IGF-1 and increases cancer but you need to increase it for health and longevity?
Great lecture Doc, I watch you to see if can keep up mentally, I'm 66yrs old I strength train heavy 3 days per wk light wt training 2 days and get out and walk or ride my bike, I was an truck diving alcoholic for over 40yrs I'm in much better shape physically now I'm working on cognitive improvement, keep up the good work 😊
Way too long but great.
Really? The presentation is painful to watch
Yes like to hear more thank so much for your insight 😊
How does one safely exercise with osteoporosis?
Doc your in great shape!
You knocked it out of the park once again. I will forward this to my friends as a "must watch" video. Thank you!
Hi Doc, excellent, more please, but just a little slower… lol
Don't worry I am the same I get so exited that my wife I start to mumble 😊 no worries we can just repeat the part if we need to thank you for you quick response fantastic work and we love the difrent colours sections you put up ok
Hi Dr Karl we love your work but we are in our 70 and we have to watch your vidios 2 or 3 times sorry but you talk a little bit to fast for us 😮 but may be it's a good thing to go over it a number of times 😊
Hello. I am a retired Paramedic and am 64 years old male living in America.
I continue to have a passion for studying medical science, health, and nutrition topics. Youtube is a convenient forum for experts in these topics to provide their respective information for public access.
Over the past decade I have exhaustively watched countless hours of youtube videos on these topics by different experts, and I have found relatively few, which I am impressed by and recommend to others.
I am glad that I became introduced to you recently when I happened to come across one of your videos titled, "The Number 1 Reason Doctors Tell Their Patients To Stop Keto".
That rather "click bait" title effectively got my attention because about 6 months ago I started going on a Ketogenic diet (thanks to certain Doctors on youtube such as Dr. Ekberg, and Dr. Berry).
To make a long story short about it, I was overweight, and suffered from many extreme symptoms typical of type 2 Diabetes.
After comitting to a ketogenic diet (mostly meat, eggs, veggies, cheese and yogurt), I lost 60 lbs in six moths, but more importantly, nearly all of my diabetic symptoms have been eliminated, and I feel more healthy and vital than I have in the past 20 years!
In this video, you briefly covered the concern of dairy/cheese consumption.
We (both my wife and I are on the Keto diet), regularly consume various types of cheese (we try to buy good quality/organic cheese), and yogurt (usually a brand called, Two Good, with only 2g sugar), and we do not drink any "milk".
Have you produced any video providing more information concerning the consumption of dairy products?
Anyway, I look forward to watching more of your videos.
I really appreciate the illustrated manner in which you present your information, especially with such useful data.
Lastly, if I were to get my blood labs done, do you provide any sort of service by which they can be sent to you for your analysis and recommendations?
Thank you for your attention.
God bless you.
Please WHAT DO YOU EAT DURING 1 WEAK ..can you tell us ,please?
This was great! Looking forward to your deeper dives into each. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with me!!
This information is super interesting to me, thank you.
Thank you for sharing.
I seem to go really well for about 6 months with my exercise and weightlifting routines then I get injured and I’m out again, then starting again from the beginning. Healing takes so much longer as we age .
Very informative!
As we age would vegetable protein be any more advisable than animal protein? Thank you.
Thank you for this important information. Yes, I’m definitely interested.
Fantastic info! Subscribed!
Thanks for providing this information. I had to look up how BMI is calculated. Did you mean pounds over height instead of pounds over weight?
does dairy include goat’s milk? i’m thinking no. but curious.
Don't go so fast over your charts.
When you had your medical crisis did it affect the expression of your eosinophils? Also thanks for being awesome and a proper mensch😃
I meant to add that I appreciate the work you put into the videos and someday hope to work with you! God Bless!
Happy birthday to you!!!
Immediately applicable. Looking forward to the whole series. Folate decreasing IGF and downside of dairy. Good reminder. I am mostly carnivore but resisted giving up dairy. Now I will. Thank you. Your brilliance, practicality and integrity are a gift to us.
What is your wifes cooking channel? Enjoy your content and sensible explanations. 😊
Yes more info. Thanks
Glad to see you back online Doc. What a tangled morass of variables with big money corruption clouding the waters at every turn. If there is any doubt we are a predator species just realize how much we prey on each other to make a buck. Moloch. Note that YT content that flies in the face of W.H.O. dictates could be shadow banned (demoted) so it's important to get your content out on other platforms like X. Special interest loves social media. Thanks again.
Another excellent and informative video by Dr Karl
I’ve learned so much from you and Ms Judi
Thank you so very much
Excellent detail, rapidly presented but can be unpacked with slower review. I love it, and am so grateful to see medical people that are so carefully directed to inform!
Wow! Great information. So I just looked at my IGF from the past two blood tests. I also studied the results of my other metabolic ratios for insulin resistance and compared my results to your spreadsheet. All of my results are on my spreadsheet, which I made for myself on your recommendations. So handy. I love this. Thank you! Can't wait for more.
All this to say you don’t trust the studies.
So interesting!
Your videos intrigue me. Extremely informative, labs are broken down honestly. You and your wife's previous health issues compared to the changes you have made to date are without a doubt something the public should follow closely. Please continue these videos. Thank you.
Excellent use of scatter plots. Good work expanding the examination of variable relationships beyond linear to polynomial and curve linear relationships!
Very interesting, would love to hear more. Thank you for this important information.
I am waiting for the following videos. Thank you.
Thanks
Yes please more
Yet so many people say that IGF 1 causes cancer and should be avoided.
