Love that movie!
Excellent tip regarding excessive suppression of IL-1 beta. THANK YOU.
A genuinely insightful video. The connection you draw between chronic, low-grade inflammation and a wide spectrum of age-related diseases is one of the most crucial, yet often overlooked, aspects of modern health.
This leads to a fascinating question that I find myself constantly exploring: Are we focusing too much on 'fighting' inflammation with specific dietary and medical interventions, rather than addressing the deeper mismatch between our ancient biology and our modern environment? It feels like we're becoming experts at silencing the alarm, but perhaps not at putting out the fire itself.
Crap waste of time. Don't watch. Unsubscribed also
Napoleon dynamite?!?
thanks for leaving the hat home…
2:47 You could say that the outcome of those 13 kidney transplants was Dynamite
I have RA – I never smoke, never drink, live a stress free life. I can not take the RA meds as I have chronic aemia so the rheumatologist said no to biologics – my CRP is 28 and my dr is in a panic ——- I eat so well can’t do more – yes, I am fed up of hearing all this stuff to be honest and now going to live life how ever far it takes me as I find it all so stressful and exhausting as too many people saying do this do that and none of it works.
“Your mom went to college”. I love ND too 😂
I am amazed at my rheumatologist! She is very smart, but has never mentioned cardiac disease in relation to inflammation. I am trying a reduction in carbs which has lead to the best CRP I have ever obtained (2). Post CoVid vaccine my CRP went to 18! So much work to do on our own. Thank you for being so informative ❤
Rubor, calor, tumor, dolor, functio laesa.
I love Napoleon Dynamite!
when I was vegan, ate no sugar etc. I didn't have as good High sensitivity CRP as I do know eating more sugar, some alcohol and meat/dairy. It's now at 1.0-it was rare for me to have it low. Why is that? of course my H1AC jumped to 5.7 even though my blood sugar was good at 88 on m bloodwork.
Your advertiser, pura , keeps interrupting your video… Bad medicine!
This is why I don't listen to podcasts. 10 minutes of chit chat before you get to anything I want to hear.
We are left hanging unless you are rich enough
Airports are still gross.
omg i will watch. am i about to find out how much of a dude, or bro, you are. in any case, I like you Peter.
It’s amazing how with so much talking, so little of any informative value is said.
Loat of bloat in his talks, needs to be more pithy and get to the point
That shot of Peter looking at the guest through the screen gave me psychic damage
Impossible to follow Dr A’s constant acronyms throughout, assuming the audience knows, even if a clinician
I love listening to Dr Attia.
How you know when you have inflammation is when you feel life shit.
Do they discuss specialized pro resolving mediators?
1:39 the seriousness that was taking place when talking about napoleon dynamite and inflammation .. I cannot tell if this is a joke or legit 🤣
I’m a napoleon dynamite fan likewise PA! Vote for Pedro!
I could have made state!
What is all this napoleon dynamite stuff?!? Hilarious 😂😂😂
Nice, now I know Peter does have a sense of humor!
I bet I could throw this here football over that mountain. Crazy uncles are the THE BEST
Misleading title
peter being a napoleon dynamite fan is a very unexpected yet welcome attribute of his personality. lmao
This is the typical word salad I get from my cardiologist.. inflammation is what the subject is. There is a drug out there that (IN THE PAST 6 MO) was approved by the FDA specifically for inflammation in patients with active Cardiovascular Disease. My cardiologist will not RX for me/ he rather put me back on the table. It is clear there are people out there who do not want to stop it at the source and practice proactive health care. Sad.
Peter, I am a big fan, have the book watched lots of YouTube, but this one was a total waste of time. Consider redoing this YouTube so that the average citizen can understand what you are saying.
Wtf bait and switch!
But, the medical establishment identifies an Hba1c of 5.7 as prediabetic, no matter the fasting glucose level.
Any idea why that's the case?
Also, Hba1c increases with age. Any idea why?
why is it not on the website yet, after days from the YT preview?
I might have to watch this movie😊
Would like to know if the venison jerky you eat is homemade. Is beef jerky ok? I need a lot of protein…thanks!
Just finished reading No Time To Die in the NYer. Never heard of you before then…agreed with all you said about aging. You say that with each decade after 30 we lose a meaningful amount of muscle mass and cardo fitness. This certainly happened to me since my chronic fatigue diagnosis…so depressing. I'm already in my 70s, so cant expect a lot of change at this point. Pleased to know i'm doing a lot of things right. I carry heavy bags of groceries in both hands despite my hip surgery that left one of my legs a bit shorter. I am definitely on an anti aging journey. Cheers!
I'm an RN and one major reason I would never work in an operating room is that the surgeon's determine which 'music' will be listened to while the rest of the staff have no voice. Sometimes the 'music' is too loud, too Metal, too loud Rock, etc. Also, I don't think it is responsible to take one's eyes off the patient to look at clips of your favorite show.
The focus should be on the patient and not the surgeon. I wouldn't advertise what really goes on in operating rooms.
Napoleon Dynamite is no doubt a good movie, but if I had to listen to the soundtrack every day for at least a month, I'd probably never watch the movie again.
When women bloat monthly (or menopausal-aged women are chronically bloated), is this a “qualifying inflammatory response” as defined by this podcast? Even if C reactive protein is not elevated?
I will go read Barry Sears. Waste of time to listen here for a sales calll. Wish we warned in beginning.
WTF!?!?!! really???
SO much talk. "The Anti-Inflammation Zone" by Barry Sears (2005, Harper-Collins) is still the best and thorough discussion of inflammation and diet out there. Also, it contains no irrelevant reference to the moronic, pop culture motion picture mentioned here, though fans will be excited/beside themselves to know it was written the same year the movie was released.
