Dr. Paul Mason - 'Treating Metabolic Syndrome'

The salt study showing the risk of all cause mortality increasing with sodium restriction is suspect. Ask yourself who in this day and age is taking in only 2000 mg or less of sodium? Answer: People with preexisting, prediagnosed conditions, such as congestive heart failure. They are put on the low sodium diet by the doctor. They already have a problem.

I am interested in the biological mechanisms of ptsd and trying to figure out the true cure for the disorder. I have researched it a bit but studies are all one or the other. I would love it if you could dig into the mechanisms of LDL, HDL, TG, B amyloid, insulin resistance, systemic inflammation (interleukin), C reactive protein, as well as sodium levels and potentially the way that it maintains ptsd; as these are all a factor as stated in some studies.

Would you recommend 4-6 grams of salt a day per person? I feel like if we can’t get it from diet without adding it then it shouldn’t really be essential? It is just something that has been a thought.

Is there any connection with higher cortisol levels (people who are emotionally responsive or sensitive) to changes to insulin levels? Can someone have slight hypertension and perhaps higher cortisol levels yet the same person is on a whole foods diet and has lost a lot of weight due to their diet & daily exercise routine and still develop insulin resistance if they are very emotionally sensitive and their cortisol levels are generally elevated?

So is Dr Mason going to write a book about food intake and elimination or should we all just guess after watching these videos.

He’s a genius and funny too! Thanks Dr!

Wow, if as you say the fat that we lose first on a ketogenic diet is the bad stuff, that is amazing. Visceral fat is so dangerous. How do we know though that that is true?

I suppose that you have heard about Dr. Robert Lustig. He also talks about sugar, insuline and metabolic syndrome

Thank you so much for the info

Please translate to arabic

Does keto allow the pancreas to heal? If being diabetic has lost partial function to produce insulin?

Unfortunelly, I can't speak English...

Thank you! Your lecture is packed with so much scientific and medical knowledges. I am interested in metabolic syndrome and I learned a lot from your lecture. However, Australian blood glucose measuring scale must be quite different from American (the U.S.). I couldn’t quite understand when you mention single digit glucose level, when it should be from 2-3 digits in the U.S. system- normal fasting glucose level is 70-100 here.

EXCELLENT thank you so much ++++++++++++

Good doctor

In one word, brilliant. As a practising primary care physician I am kicking myself for not discovering this invaluable series of lectures way earlier. Indebted to Dr. PM.

So what do we eat?

Things I wish I knew a long time ago

Why are we then still overproducing Rice, Wheat, Corn , Potatoes, throughout the world? Why FDA has not come out with revised dietary guidelines?

:O so low salt diet can kill u. I knew they wanted us dead

Man I could use your help Dr Mason. A local GP just tells me not to worry about health and live life. Very disappointing

at the risk of being labeled a fan boy, i have not heard anything but logical data from this guy.

Now... Hache DL... LOL

Fantastic lecture!

I'm no doctor and i don't understand half of what he is saying, but I know that sugar is the source of almost all health problems and disease

Fat ppl are disgusting
They are they true pandemic

When I had glucose tolerance tests 40 years ago and the results were a completely flat curve. They couldn’t tell I drank 100 grams glucose. Same happened on a 2nd test. My doctor told me I gush insulin. This helps me understand why I could never feel good eating sugar and would feel terrible and gain weight quickly trying to eat a lower fat higher carb diet. Going Keto is the first time I have felt great and not been hungry.

He says 4-6 gms salt but think he might mean sodium not salt.

I highly agree that we are generally eating too many carbs and our guidelines are very faulty. They kill people who follow them.

People with autoimmune issues, they actually must reduce whole food groups and people with allergies needs to avoid lots of specific foods. It truly comes down to everybody's unique body-make-up how much the carbohydrates and sugar are going to damage you.
But I also like to note that the diet should never be based on conformity. Everybody is VERY unique and our dietary needs differ vastly. No one diet fits for all. So listening one's own body is most important and that is what everybody keeps forgetting.

I believe myself to be highly effected by the carbohydrates and have intuitively been eating less carbs over the years. Now I am doing Paleo and it feels like coming home!

Ok, but what if you've hypothyroid issues and prescribed Levaxin?

I am amazed that there have been ~300,000 views but 5,600 likes! Does this mean most are in denial? They already know this information? The jokes aren’t good enough? For those that didn’t like all I can say is that Darwin seems to be at work.

i research over twenty low carb doctors ,,and i can tell you Dr Paul is one of the doctors at the top of my list of the best doctors in knowledge ,,makes me proud to be an aussie

You are a great teacher and a wealth of information!

Medicine today is not about helping us...its more about helping doctors stay employed. They need sick people to stay employed. Dr Mason clearly explains why we get sick and it does not require any medical intervention but rather a simple adherence to not eating carbohydrates and seed oils. It is really very simple...but in reality so difficult..why ? Because sugar is the most powerful and toxic drug on earth!

Excellent presentation,
stay on track, and showing so much hidden research of true nutrition,
Gratitude Doctor Paul

Starting today.. no more carbohydrates for me.. Thank you Doc.

He said macaroni nutrient guidelines

Nutrition not meds
Nutrition nd meds if therapeutics
Prevent inflammations
Fix microbiome, good bacteria.

Inc good bacteria over bad., fibrous whole food not processed, best anti inflammations.

I like this information, Good health is the opposite of absent of metabolic syndrome", very educational and life saving for me

Can metabolic syndrome lead to elevated uric acid levels?

My BP is moderately high under medication (125/80). I am on a HFLC diet and my latest blood works show that I am insulin sensitive. All other markers look good, HbA1c is 4.9, Trigs 0.79 mmol/l, HDL chol 2.0 mmol/l. I lost half of my thyroid in 2007, and take 100 mg of Uthyrox. My TSH reading 2.76.

This guy is a quack

Damn covid closing our borders - I would have loved to come visit Dr Mason

Don't let sugars give complex carbohydrates a bad reputation.

Thank you, sir. Found out about my IR and managed to turn it around. Urged my husband to check his insulin levels, and lo and behold ... We still have time to turn his condition around, and you are to thank for it.

How do you reverse it insulin resistance? Why don't you tell us Doc...

Well considering all of what i've learned, i must have a really fast metabolism. Now i'm pretty young, i'm 21, but i've heared of a case where an 11 year old litterarely died from obesity (via heart attack) in her own room so age does play a role, but it dosen't make you invincible to it. So i eat a medium carb diet so i eat bread, sometimes brown rice, pasta, but i also eat healthy too (salads with avocado, different kinds of leafy greens, etc. Eggs, butter, meat). And i only weigh about 73-74kg at the moment. So if i notice any issues with my health in the future, i'll know what to do. Also before i didin't really eat all that healthy because i used to weigh about 88kg (And my height is about 187cm).

Wait a minute. Are you sure lipid metabolism is this complicated? According to Dr. Gregor it’s real simple. Saturated fat raises your LDL and that directly clogs your arteries. So are you telling me Dr. Gregor is a complete quack?
