New Research on Stevia Safety + Fasting Tips with Cynthia Thurlow, NP

I told my doctor I wanted a C-Peptide and she told me that Medicare would not pay for and also said she didn’t know why I would want one. I told her I wanted to see my markers for inflammation and she said everyone has inflammation and that’s how it was. I told her I would get one on my own and it was important and I know eating the way I do I’ve lost lots of inflammation in my body. I’m getting another doctor.

I fast as a way of life. I have been intermittent fasting for 4 years. I am 5’2. I’ve gone from being 220 lbs to 127. I was a size 18 now I’m a size 4. I’ve maintained my weight for 3 years. I fast for 20 hours every day.

Hi from South Carolina! I’m doing Carnivore. I eat once a day. And I have gone from 250 lbs to 225 lbs in 3 WEEKS!! Thank you for saving my life!

I want you to know I’m a therapist down here in Dothan, Alabama and I direct my clients to listen to your videos all the time! So many people do not realize how nutrition affects their mood and mental state. Teaching good nutrition is part of my treatment plan. Thank you for your research and good advice.

I just went to my internist for my yearly blood test to get my thyroid prescription renewed. I could not get her nurse to call back to add fasting insulin level or c_peptide, so I asked Doc if she would order that for me and I woud just get another test. She said to me (exact words), “ I REFUSE to order those tests. I order tests for TREATMENT, so I am REFUSING to order that test.” My mind was blown, I can tell you! So she will WAIT til I have full-blown diabetes, then give me metformin to “treat” it. Needless to say, she is now my FORMER doctor.

I grow stevia in my garden and grind it to a powder. It’s not white but a light green powder. Since I’ve eliminated all sugars except for Stevia, and live a low carb lifestyle, I’ve lost 40 lbs and kept it off. I’m not diabetic but I’m so much healthier and still use Stevia daily. I would like to see a more detailed study specifically, for pure Stevia.

I’m a 62 year old male. I was on Ozempic to get my weight down and level my blood sugar. I hated it!!! Transitioned to keto and since then (almost) total carnivore doing OMAD. After my last blood test my GP was stoked because my A1C was 5.2, until I told him I’m off the drug. My blood sugar is consistently low (normal), I’m not hungry all the time, and my weight is now 75 kg (170lbs) down from over 90kg (225 lbs). Thank you Dr Berry

I am following you: fasting, eating carnivore, no processed foods. I am 85 but actually 55 in health. Rolla Missouri thank you

I had to wait 6 months until my health care started, meanwhile I had lung cancer. By not eating sugar my cancer did not grow and they got it out, I firmly believe keto saved me

I am 60 yrs old and went from 160 to 122 lbs in 4 months by going carnivore. My arthritis is in complete remission..I didn't realize how much pain I was in (knees, back, ankles, wrists!) until it was GONE...the psorisis is gone too as well as the brown spots on my hands..amazing..mental clarity is 100%. I wish I knew this in my 30's when I weighed 180 lbs and was miserable!

I'm 80 years old and I have a very short tolerance for long interview type videos. I prefer 5- or 10-minute videos. But I sat through this one and I'm glad I did. It was one of the most informative videos I have ever seen. Even though I'm a man, I intend to get Cynthia's book. It may be aimed for women, but I know how to read between the lines and make adjustments. And if nothing else, I will be able to recommend the book to other women. Very good video. Thank you, Ken & Cynthia.

I am Lee Watkins. I am an 80 year old male. I live in Davidsonville Maryland almost exactly between Baltimore and Washington just south of Annapolis. I have been chasing health most of my life. My first diet was Adkins. That was working for me, it then the government came out with knew recommendations that touted the grains. I love grains. Not just wheat, all grains. When a few years later I had gone from 170 pounds to 218 pounds, I thought there might be wrong with the advice I had been taking, but I didn’t think it had anything to do with my beloved grains so I went vegan. Then, when watching YouTube, I began to hear about Keto. It didn’t take me long to drop the plant diet and go to keto. Now, thanks to you and some others I am carnavor. My weight which was 140 when I gradeuated from high school and 164 when i got out of the Navy four years later was going between 170 and 175 on keto has now dropped to 163.

I never understood why people want to check their own intelligence at the door when they go in to see a physician. No one knows my body better than me. I soo appreciate y'all just speaking plainly and saying what it is. It's a lost art in an upside down world. Thank you.

You don’t have to ask your doctor for those tests! Go to an Any Lab Test Now and get your own testing done. They have their own doctor who signs off on the test. (Every lab test requires a doctor order and you can use the lab doctor AT NO COST). So, no Dr. office appt., no office visit, no co-pay for the office visit.

Been a diabetic since 1998. I have NEVER got this info by anyone. I am on insulin. I am 76. I want to feel better. I first got ALL sugar out of my diet. I am doing my first day of fasting. I feel GREAT! My mother was Italian. You can imagine what we had. Bread 3X/d. I miss bread but I was addicted to grabbing something to slap on bread and eat quickly. Enjoyed program with you and Cynthia. Thank you. I feel there is now hope.

I'm 70, went carnivore feb 2021.Weight dropped from 230 to 190 at 6'1". I'm pretty ripped, i lift. I've used stevia and heavy cream in my coffee, and it didn't stop me from losing 40 lbs of bodyfat while keeping muscle

I truly wish I could go back and tell all the patients I taught over the years that what I had taught was WRONG! Low carb is so much more healthful for all of us!

I’m from Okolona, MS just south of Tupelo. I’m a retired neurosurgeon with a BS in Biochemistry and lifelong scientific researcher. I love y’all’s Mia culpa of teaching the wrong thing for years. We were really screwed by Ancel Keyes and the government recommendations. I’m starting to make some videos on this subject. Hunt Bobo, MD

I’m a neighbor, Williamson county. Thank you guys for educating us properly… saved my life with the carnivore diet. God bless!!
