********CRITIQUES, RULES, AND NOTES********

Be aware of the following rules before posting comments:
- Please do not post summaries of the video in the comments - it damages retention on the video and YouTube is less likely to promote it (these videos cost me a lot of money to produce).

Critiques of my work are welcome! Please be aware of the following notes & rules before submitting critique:

Be mindful that this content is not all encompassing on the subject at hand and is self-limited for brevity to reach a wider audience. Also, be aware that I receive hundreds of YouTube comments per day, so the only way your critique can be considered is if you follow the steps outlined below. Finally, YouTube auto-deletes links, so I do not see most comments with links attached.

RULES:
If your comment is rude, you will be banned.
If your comment is not about the studies/topics at hand (i.e. extending to other outcomes not discussed) or offers critique with no scientific basis, it is unlikely to receive a response.

If you can follow these rules, I will try to address your critique and if there is merit, I will add an AMENDMENT to the content in question and pin it so everyone can see it (thank you!).

AMENDMENT: At 19:19, I say that there are a vocal minority of people who argue LDL is a cause of heart disease risk - that is reversed, it should be "a vocal minority of people who argue LDL is NOT a cause of heart disease risk" - thanks to @mkvalor for pointing it out.

This is great analysis - independent, evidence-based and with context and nuance that is absent from the influencers and supplement sellers who are everywhere on YouTube. Much appreciated.

I am back in school finishing my Nursing degree at 50 partially because of this man. His videos help me stay fit by running to YouTube every time he posts. He's had me print out and read studies he's mentioned on here. It's like he's our own personal TLDR superhero. I trust his analysis.

Glynac has definitely been my Grandmother is 88. She was starting to show signs of cognitive decline and becoming increasingly frail. Started her on glynac 2.5g and 1.5g taurine twice daily, and the results have been astonishing. Moves faster gets up better, and her cognitive capacity and memory have come back to baseline.

An abundance of information using minimal words. No flashy intro, no yo yo music, just the facts and nothing but the facts. Information at it's best.

I am 48 and have suffered from severe chronic depression and anxiety for years. I have used all of the drugs, psychological treatment modalities and nothing ever gave me much relief until a couple of years ago I hears about glycine and NAC. I had seen a study somewhere that chronically anxious people were often found to be depleted in glutathione. Obviously this can lead to all kinds of problems.

At the time, I started taking about 2 grams of NAC along with 2 grams of TMG daily. I started noticing after a few weeks everything was changing. It was like reality was becoming brighter. I could also breathe more deeply and freely (nac also helps the lungs)

On top of that, my blood pressure normalized and my energy increased 10x. It was like getting my life back.

I just wanted to point this out because I think people who have generalized anxiety even in their 20s and 30s could recover using glycine and nac. I think this needs more attention!

Who wouldn't want to learn the 10 best tips for your health that a Ph.D. student has gleaned from reading 250 research reports? At the least, it can point up vitamins that you should look at more closely. Immense value in this channel!

[melimoo]

Your channel and nutrition made simple are the only 2 I trust. Independent non-biased clinical evaluation of data. and no products or gimmicks being sold to me! ❤

[ImJarlen]

What a great video! The fact that people can get acces to this kind of useful knowledge for free and with so little effort is awesome

[stargazerbird]

So take glynac and omega 3 if you are over 60 and do the usual (weight, exercise, whole foods) for heart health.

[grantlikessing]

You are a gifted teacher. Great dissemination of useful information!

RE: Human growth hormone ("Reversing Aging/TRIIM Study)
Studies indicate that betaine [anhydrous] (aka, trimethylglycine (TMG)) at c. 3g a day (in split dosages, morning and evening, with meals) increases serum HGH naturally. (Glycine, in its various forms [like glynac], appears to be very actively important to maintaining/optimizing health.)

[thirdworldperspective]

That’s some great stuff Nic, really proud to see how far you’ve come and happy to have been here since the start.
Keep up the awesome work…Richard

[GYMETRIUS]

I was legitimately expecting you to discuss high dose Vitamin K2 and reversing atherosclerosis at the end.

[harku]

You have so many views nowadays!! Awesome! I've not followed anything nutrition related in a while because I started working in politics lol! But I'm so glad to see your current success!

[traviscutler]

I remember when I first came to your site I think 3 years ago and if I recall yours was one of the only ones that was very heavy into statistical analysis and broader cross study analysis. But more importantly, a broader respect for the lack of information and or the oversimplification as well as just the general lack of respect for science and most of these style of youtube informationals. I'm really glad to see that you are blowing up as I really think that your style of information is really helpful as the granular detail on this type of stuff is really what makes a difference & what makes you different because real results are always made in margins of 2 to 5% if you're lucky and anything promising more than that needs to be taken with a massive, massive grain of salt!!
Congratulations dude, good on you!!
P.s I'm currently struggling with type 2 diabetes. As a result to get my blood sugar down, I massively reduced my carbs for the obvious reason. However, as a result of the initial diabetic cannibalization of my muscle mass as well as my fat, I went from 240 lb to 155 lb is less than ideal for the obvious reasons of not just being considerably less strong. But as we will continue to lose muscle mass over time, it will be an issue moving forward as I am 48 years old.
I guess all that being said, is if you end up coming across anything about how to maintain or keep muscle mass as a aging type 2 diabetic I would super appreciate it. Mostly, because everything is geared towards losing weight, but I actually just stopped eating. I'm mostly carb diet and switch to primarily protein, greens that don't add any carbs and then low and glycemic index vegetarian carbs. Obviously this will need to be. How is the consideration overall? But I would love to hear some strategies on building if not, at least maintaining muscle mass as a type. 2. Diabetic. Everything I've read about building or maintaining muscle mass is about carb intake which is not going to work for me.
No worries if this isn't anywhere close to your wheelhouse, but I couldn't help but shake the feeling that you might have ran across some research that would be relevant to my situation. I can't imagine but I'm the only skinny type 2 Diabetic!! We're not all fat, some of us got this way cuz you were either just lucky or drunks 😉

Glad to see how much your channel has grown and you are getting better and better each year with the delivery 👊 Brilliant vid bro🤙🔥

[wolfrahmphosphoros]

[amrs]

Thank you @Physionic for being a voice of reason. I LOVE your videos! I'm so glad I found you and now I can stop wasting hours of my time watching all the others debate. Please never stop what you're doing! We need you!

- glyNAC (above 60)
- collagen
- OMAD (for weight loss it may be beneficial, but it caused high blood sugar in one study)
