  1. This was all kinds of awesome. Loved the section on response to saturated fats and how it modulates LDL-P. I'm in the middle of an experiment to bring my LDL-P down from 2200 by swapping out saturated fats for mono/poly.

  2. Robb calls for health savings accounts to pay for medical needs instead of Medicare For All. That's just it…a huge number of people don't have money to even go to the dentist or medical doctor one time per year. In the year 2005, the USA Census Bureau found that 28.22% of American households were living on less than $25,000 per year. Robb thinks that these people have money for a health savings account?!? Robb is clueless.

    Also, Robb says that health care should be in the capitalist realm instead of the social services realm. Robb says that companies competing with each other will being down medical costs and will see which one is the winner. Robb needs to see farther ahead. Eventually, the losers sell out to the winner. Then, the winner has a monopoly on all medical fields, can charge as much money as the winner wants since there is no longer any competition, and, with all that money, can buy all the politicians to keep the monopoly going.

  3. Robb doesn't think that the yoga and fasting people seem to age well, but that the weight lifting people do age well. It appears to me that many (not all) yoga people tend to be vegans and vegetarians. However, most (not all) weight lifters tend to eat animal fats and animal proteins.

    We know that the sugar, carbohydrate, and human-invented seed-oil industries and the Seventh-Day Adventist Church have funded a lot of research in an attempt to get people to think that eating their products and following their religious dietary requirements of not eating animal proteins, not eating animal fats, and decreasing eating salt are healthful. However, many scientists are now saying that humans need the full range of nutrients found in animal fats and animal proteins and almost all people need to eat sufficient salt instead of restricting salt.

  4. Have a lot of respect for Rob; however, I would love to see Rob in a debate with Dr. Fung. Hunter gatherers fasted all the time, often days between meals, especially during winter months. What's unusual about pounding away a couple rib eyes and not being hungry the next day, skipping breakfast, lunch and maybe dinner?

  5. I've appreciated this talk because, after 9 months of LCHF lifestyle, gaining some metabolic benefits that I hope will continue in my "older age" (71), losing 40lbs (a side benefit), I feel like this is my optimal weight area, and am thinking of how to proceed with my eating style, as well as doing more physical movement (I tend to be a bit sedentary). Trying to keep up with the collections of science by doing a lot of listening to these amazing youtube talks, I am searching for perspective relating to our human individualities in responses to foods (natural and whole foods), as there is so much conflicting "science" out there. I've never been a "fad follower", so want to be sure I am hearing "facts" from a variety of perspectives. As the saying goes, I am "keeping on keeping on", with my ears and eyes alert.

  6. Creating “foods”… sadly half the population is consuming stuff that isn’t food at all. Not only does the stuff they consume have no nutritional value but it’s killing them. And politicians scream about healthcare when the elephant in the room is “health”.

  7. 33:31 "once you are aware, then that's where the accountability comes in". Yes! For all of my teenage and adult life I thought I was a failure because I could not successfully diet (low fat high carb natch) and never, ever maintained any loss. For forty years I struggled and suffered and failed. Until three years ago (1st March 2016 to be exact) and my life and health changed for ever. Why? I started LCHF which became keto. I had done my research "became aware" and became prepared to be accountable. That was 40 months ago and still I embrace this way of eating because it works for people like me like nothing else ever did. 100lbs of excess fat gone forever and this is maintained easily. A miracle. If anyone asks what I did, I tell them and their eyes widen with horror "oooh, I could never give up xxx (name some hyper-palatable carb)". I smile and move on. Maybe they, like me will eventually do their own research and decide to try it for themselves. Its the only way.

  8. "Eating two-three meals a day" and "rely on autophagy from drinking coffee, lifting weights and the sauna" is not autophagy. Minimum duration for autophagy fasted is 24 hours – MINIMUM (Dr. Guido Kromer and Dr. Rhonda Patrick) and this would only be in the liver (Dr. Kromer). Minimum fasted duration for real autophagy is 48 hours (Dr. Fung) This guy is full of it, at least these Dr.'s did the research BEFORE they opened their mouths. Lost all respect for that one buddy
