Dr. Nadir Ali - 'Insulin resistance and ApoE4 - A Perfect Storm'

Dr. Nadir Ali is an interventional cardiologist with over 25 years of experience. He is also the chairman of the Department of Cardiology at Clear Lake Regional Medical Center. Before working as a cardiologist, he served as an assistant professor of medicine for eight years at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, where he also received his medical training.

Dr. Ali has championed many aspects of the science and practice of a low-carb lifestyle in the local Clear Lake area since 2013. He organises a monthly nutritional seminar in the Searcy Auditorium of the Clear Lake Hospital that receives more than 100 visitors every month from the local community. Dr Ali’s focus is on managing heart disease, obesity, metabolic syndrome and diabetes.

Very interesting, and always good to see someone admit that they have learned new things and are able to change their view.

Dr. Nadir Ali is a credit to his specialty. Most cardiologists are very conservative in their approach to nutrition and the overwhelming majority of them still promote the low fat paradigm for cardiac health. Cardiologists like Dr. Ali, Dr. Christian Assad, Dr. Bret Sher, Dr. Aseem Malhotra, etc, should be lauded for thinking like true scientists, who critically evaluate what was taught to them, instead of uncritically dispensing out dated ways of thinking. Health outcomes will only change when our medical professionals think more like scientists and less like religious clerics who just evangelize received "wisdom" as if it is the infallible word from the All Mighty.

Wow! I am so grateful for people like this who are figuring out how we function, to help us get healthy.

The government or philanthropists should provide the funds for Dr. Ali and others like him for their exceptional life-saving research.

Thank you so much for pasting this! I feel so lucky to get to hear information at this level. *goes back to watch it seventeen more times since I barely understood any of it*

So when did you graduate medical school, when you were 10? You look like a 30-something, Dr. Nadir. Your work is much appreciated.

[lorettadillon-ham]

FASCINATING 💝 thank you ... Dr Nadir, we are honoured. 🙏🏼

[margaretgibbs]

Fascinating talk thanks. But quite hard going to understand, for non-medical person like me. I would really love to hear an un-rushed version of this talk, maybe lasting an hour!

[ДимитърДимитров-йв]

Amazing.Doctor, I can hear your voice.u, We will live better life, because of people like you.Respect.

Excellent talk by Dr Nadir...Very helpful. Loved your final question to the LC community regarding cycling insulin receptors. I am a lean, muscular, LC, 57 year old who has intuitively figured out that cycling is necessary.

Sign me up for that research project!

[Rose_Ou]

Excellent talk and great sense of humour. Thank you Dr. Nadir :)

[SierraNovemberKilo]

What a fabulous presentation. There's lots to take in. I am glad there are people out there asking the questions that gets us to here.

[marlak]

Dr. Nadir Ali is magnificent and personifies his health and medical beliefs. He takes his own medicine and looks very well.

[alexi]

I love Dr Jason and so glad I found Dr Ali.

[charlieanstey]

And so I learn a little bit more. Thank you, Dr. Ali

[gavinr]

Seriously fascinating. He poses an interesting question that I would love to see answered: Should we be intermittently stimulating these insulin responses in order to optimize the expression and function of the insulin receptors rather than the traditional "steady state, continuous low-carb" approach that has been prevalent in the LCHF/Keto sphere so far? If so, what is the appropriate timeline for administering these stimulus and what are the ideal macronutrient distributions for this application? My money is on occaisional ingestion of High Glycemic Index foods used intermittently to create larger hormonal responses but there is still so much we are yet to learn, which is very exciting.

[YouNolf]

Incredibly interesting.

I also came to the conclusion that maybe cycling insulin stimulation once in a while should be productive, as it would mimick our diet in the wild (where we occasionally scored the honey, fruits or tubers, and fasted when we didn't catch any fat animals).

Also, our bodies deal better with sunlight with carbs (IIRC it's something to do with vitamin D helping it cope with sugars), and it's only natural that when spring comes we get more sunlight and eat more fruit.

I guess the more we get specific and technical with research, the more the big picture indicates that we should simply get back to our ancestral ways of living, of course in an intelligent way and using technology smartly.

Quite a frightening talk for someone like me - over 60, obese w big belly, newly diagnosed extreme T2 diabetic w very high blood pressure - but thank you, it was great.

[areurdytoparty]

The thing with CICO is that it's concept is so basic (as it should be for the average person to understand), that so many of the intricacies involved in weight loss like hormone regulation or dysfunction is completely missed, and that part of CICO could be overwhelming for some to try and process the information and what it means to them and their weight loss journey.

Dr. Ali makes it very easy to understand if you have a background in medicine or science. Bravo!

Thanks for sharing this insightful and valuable video...
