Hearted Youtube comments on Dr. Sten Ekberg (@drekberg) channel.

  1. I love walking into your classroom and sitting in the front row. Thank you for all you do, totally fascinating and nothing I learned in nursing school and beyond. I hope your channel grows by leaps and bounds!

  2. You're blessed with a logical and analytical mind. Your research on a particular topic and sharing the results generously in an everyday language is adorable. You're doing an amazing job Dr.!

  3. In Mexico most people think that a proper meal has to have Coca-Cola drinks. And not the diet kinds. When I visit, family members look at me as if I’m crazy for drinking plain old water!

  4. I learn so much from this man! He is so calm and teaches so clearly. The best part is that he isn't trying to SELL me anything like others. I've learned more from him than I did in my college nutrition course!

  5. Inflammation is a more wildspread problem than people realise.

  6. All those years I thought I was doing the right thing having cereal with skim milk for breakfast. No wonder I was prediabetic at 60. (But NOT at 62!)

  7. The US FDA is a joke! Thank you Dr. Ekberg for exposing these risks!
    592
  8. I'm from the Caribbean and strong emphasis is placed on vaccination like most countries, yet fast food outlets were the first to reopen and health sectors are failing to address lifestyle changes: healthy eating, exercising, managing stress to improve mental health.

  9. As a dentist I must recommend you do NOT brush teeth right after intake of ACV. Rinse with water to increase pH .

  10. I discovered your channel early in 2021 and have watched numerous videos. Got off the sugar and other bad foods and am now eating healthy meals twice a day with a 30 minute walk in the evening. Lost over 40 pounds of excess fat this year and my mind is sharper than ever! Thank you Sten for sharing your knowledge about how the body really works so that we can live healthy lives! And Happy New Year too!

  11. You are a phenomenal teacher 🥰👍🌻

  12. I practice daily time-restricted feeding wherein I don’t eat for 16-23 hours, depending on the phase of my reproductive cycle. Once a year I do a 72-hour fast. I’ve been practicing this lifestyle for going on 5 yrs now. I feel fantastic and I’m in the best health—mentally, physically & emotionally—of my life. I’ve never attempted a 5-day fast, but I’ve found my sweet spot with daily (intermittent) fasting. I encourage everyone to experiment with their body! And, wow, top ten in the world is impressive, Dr. Ekberg. 👏 🙏

  13. I've lost 22 kg in 3 months thanks to this guy and I couldn't be happier. Dr. Ekberg you are a guiding light towards a healthier life and thanks to your thorough explanations in each video I can follow through without giving into my old, fattening habits. I truly adore your work and appreciate every bit of effort you put into your videos. Thank you so very much!

  14. "You're eating too much carbs. You're eating too much protein. You're eating too much fat. You're eating too many calories " so in other words, you are just eating too much... yeah, that can make me fat🤣

  15. I’ve recently had a full lab work done that I requested from hormone levels to c reactive protein to blood count, cholesterols and insulin. And much more. It’s unfortunate that us, the patients, have to do our due diligence because a lot of doctors/physicians are lazy or incompetent.

  16. What surprised me the most is the change in sense of taste: I notice sweetness in things I never thought to be "sweet" like normal white potatoes and peanuts :)
    579
  17. Finding your videos last autumn by accident has changed my life. All I can say is thank you from the bottom of my heart Dr Ekberg!

  18. 37. Less dishes to wash.

  19. 20 years ago, several days before my chemotherapy for breast cancer, an oncologist (not my primary oncologist) told me about fasting and eating whole foods. I was overweight then and this doctor was saying things to me that I had NEVER heard of - don't eat for two days, what!!?? Fasting will do what to my body, huh?? I did receive chemo but I fasted every 36 hours as well. I truly...truly believe that I'm still here because I changed my diet and fasted. Now, I eat on Wednesday and Sunday mornings - in which includes anything I want in moderation (no bread, no sugar, no grains). I do exercise 3 days a week, nothing major and I'm 100+ pounds lighter than I was then and have kept the weight off. I dont take ANY medications and I'm getting close to 60. Folks, this video is human survival gold. Pay attention.
    578
  20. Your information means a lot. I'm so happy you exist. Your videos literally changed my life. Your voice is so calm. I like the way you explain too. Its so well structured and clear. Thanks again for your informative and motivational videos.
    574
  21. I watched a lot of Dr. Ekberg’s videos last year. I started eating 2 meals a day. It changed my life. I lost 20 pounds in 6 months without cutting calories or increasing exercises. I feel more energetic and even my mind works better! I’m 70 years old and I am so grateful for Dr. Ekberg’s informative, well explained videos!
    574
  22. I've been eating one meal per day for a few years now. I only get hungry once a day. I used to get hungry every couple hours in the past. Snacking throughout the day. You can definitely adapt your body.
    573
  23. I was good at extended fasting but when I implemented electrolytes I became great at extended fasting. They truly make a difference!
    567
  24. I lowered my blood pressure and blood sugar by losing weight. I’m no longer on BP meds or insulin. Diet, exorcise and losing weight are key.
    566
  25. Hi, my name is Beth and I'm a sugar addict. I healed my opiate addiction, I can do this too. And quit smoking 🤦‍♀️
    566
  26. My eldest sister worked as a nephrology RN. She was fascinated by the many functions of the kidney, so well explained here. Thank you Dr Ekberg for your efforts in helping us better understand the pathologies which can afflict us. Much respect to you

  27. Dr. Ekberg casually saving lives out here

  28. I am a diabetic caused by genetics. My doctor had told me it is not possible to control my type of diabetes. I am stubborn and wanted to proof him wrong. Lots of discipline and self control and lots of research.. it is now controlled by a low carb diet and I have not have to go on meds or needed insulin shots. I refused and promised myself that I won’t get to that stage. I lost my rights to eat any rice, pasta, potatoes, desserts, any flour products, sugary food, fruits..etc. My hubby is pre diabetic caused by bad eating habits and just by eating the bad food in moderation, he can easily return to normal. I have done a lot of research, and although very depressing that I must avoid most of the “delicious” and “favorite” food, I don’t have a choice unless I want to have organ damage, go blind, can’t walk, can’t live a normal life.. Diabetes is a very damaging disease. Lots of people think that just because lots of people have it, just because there are meds to help, they don’t need to worry and can eat whatever they want. Meds have tons of side effects. When it comes to our health, taking the short cut way to heal by jumping into pharmaceutical meds is not wise. Eat and exercise and live well should be the first step in treatment. Pharmaceuticals meds should only be implemented to stabilize us if it is needed, followed by a proper diet and exercise regiment and once healthier, stay away from pharmaceutical meds. The side effects could be worse than the disease!

  29. Can we all just stop and appreciate Dr.Ekberg's ability to write backwards on his transparent white board. A true decathlete even in older age..

  30. Youth hides a multitude of diet sins. Lately though many youths are obese, when I was young everyone was skinny.
    549
  31. Dr Eckberg. You hit the nail on the head. I am 58 now. But I remember until the age of 12 I was eating EVERY DAY my breakfast SOLELY with 7 grain bread and MAINLY with brown sugar, sometimes jam. NEVER meat and almost never cheese. I was VERY active that time. Driving every day many kilometres with my bike constantly at full speed. In school my teacher always complained why I was constantly hopping with my feet. And I was the lightest and strongest of my class. But when growing older I observed brainfog was slowly but gradually setting in until a point I observed that I was about 48 years old but I lost lots of my abilities and brainpower. I also lost my job back than. If it was not for realizing this in time I would certainly going downhill much more. After changing lifestyle I was stabilizing for few years. But thanks for the knowledge from you and Dr Berg I am really recovering now from my depression, overweight and brainfog. Thank you Dr Eckberg.

  32. Our western diet is absolute garbage . Old film footage of people in the 70s always shocks me now as everyone looks so skinny - me included at the time . The last few decades we have come to accept that carrying an extra 40 -50 lbs looks normal . I've recently lost 30lbs with intermittent fasting - the only weight loss regime that works for me . The modern medical way to educate people on dietary matters is to send them to a dietician where you learn to read labels and decades old nutritional info . Sad that we're pretty much on our own to figure the science out . Thank you Dr Ekberg for helping us on our health journey .

  33. 2016: ultrasound scan before gallstone / gall removed fatty liver and 3 cysts January 2020: start keto due diabetic 2 diagnosis. Max 15 gram carb January 2021: ultrasound scan abdominals. No fatty liver, no cysts. My doc was flabbergasted, no more diabetic and healthy liver. She never saw that before.
    543
  34. I’ve been doing intermittent fasting for 9-10 months and lost over 75 lbs
    543
  35. This man is incredible in his simple, clear and descriptive speech and knowledge.
    541
  36. I learned more about Carbohydrates in the last 20 minutes than in the previous 75 years of my life. Thanks Dr. Ekberg
    540
  37. I was very surprised when my friend told me about being diagnosed with diabetes and his Dr from the VA advised to go on keto and fasting. After 7 months, totally reversed now.
    539
  38. For this to not be required viewing in high school is just criminal.
    538
  39. The FDA has never made decisions based on safety but profits.
    534
  40. Congratulations Dr. Ekberg on achieving 1 million subscribers. Your amazing videos are making a million people healthier every day.

  41. Human Beings have been excelling by eating lots of good animal fat for 1000's of years!

  42. Dr Ekberg, thank you for another amazing video. We don't often think about our kidneys and the vital role they play. As a nurse, I've witnessed how diabetes affects the kidneys, seeing so many of my clients go to dialysis 3 times a week. I believe many doctors go about treating diabetes the wrong way. Instead of reviewing their patient's diets, they usually just increase insulin dosages. In my eyes, you are and always will be the ultimate health champion, and I'm honored to look up to you as a teacher 😊
    531
  43. When is the world going to wake up to this. Excellent.
    525
  44. I hate that I let my body get out of the normal range so much that I developedT2 diabetes! How could I have done that to myself? Anyway, the good news is that I’ve reversed it through keto and intermittent fasting. My a1c is now 5.4 without meds. I’d encourage everyone to take insulin resistance more seriously

  45. February of this year I was diagnosed as a type 2 diabetic. I weighed 258 lbs, fasting glucose 168, A1c 7.4, BP 158/85. At that time I committed myself to a healthier lifestyle. I discovered you on YouTube and was immediately taken in. Thanks to you Dr Ekberg and your outstanding knowledge and informative and enjoyable videos, I have improved my health dramatically. I am down to 210 lbs and continue to slowly lose, my fasting glucose is 89, A1c 5.5, and BP 120/68. I am now truly one of your "health champions". I watch your videos daily for continued inspiration. I thank you sir!

  46. Not all heroes wear capes. Some release new health videos every Friday at 6:15 AM! 😄

  47. I've been diabetic for 10 years and I was taking 3 different meds a day and my A1C kept going up. I didn't want to go on insulin, so I started search for my own answers. In April I found YouTube - Dr. Jason Fong and listened to his long discussions in reversing Diabetes and started eating meals with no breads, pastas, or anything with sugar. I subsequently found your channel and find it so much easier to follow. You pack alot of information in a relatively short period of time. In May my A1C was 7.9 and we had to reschedule our Dr. Appt till the end of July at which time I explained to my Dr what I was doing and he did another test and my A1C went down to 6.4. His words were WOW. I am trying the Keto/low carb diet and IF and my weight loss has been slow, but for me it is more about reversing my A1C. You are correct that everyone's experience is different. Thank you for all the understandable information that you have given those of us who are searching for a natural healthy way of healing.

  50. I wondered what was wrong that there were no comments on this video. Then I realized it's only been uploaded for a minute. That's an 11th sign.
