But when I drink tea while fasting I get nauseous. I have it with nothing else in it.

What brand was he saying of the concentrated green tea? I would like to buy it but I don’t know what he is saying.

- [Narrator] Welcome to the HVMN podcast. What we do with our bodies today becomes the foundation of who we are tomorrow. This is Health Via Modern Nutrition. - A lot of people in our groups always ask, "Oh, should I drink bone broth, MCT oils, coconut oils, green tea, coffee?" I think your point around bone broth perhaps not being ideal for triggering autophagy because it is amino acids, and amino acid triggers mTORC which is what hypothesized to control or mediates autophagy - For like diabetes, it'd be perfectly acceptable because that little bit of amino acid is not gonna do anything to you. It's not gonna, it's gonna have so little effect and same for a lot of people ask about bulletproof coffee and MCT oils again, so you've got calories but you've got very little insulin effect. So, again, if your point is to try and lower insulin effect for weight loss or diabetes, hey, that's great, then you are going to be able to take the bulletproof coffee or MCT oil and still get the lowering of insulin that you want. So, keeping your goals in mind, you say, "Okay, well, that'd be perfectly fine for type 2 diabetes. Bone broth, and typically we'll use bone broth for more longer fast, 36 hours plus. Green tea is a very interesting substance and I've been talking a bit more about that lately because it's one of the things that has, traditionally, if you look at traditional Chinese medicine it's actually one of the substances that has been always purportedly helpful for weight loss. And if you look at the studies, what's interesting is a couple of things one is that green tea typically has much higher levels of the catechins, so the catechins are the antioxidants and the flavanols the compound that's thought to be responsible for the benefits, but they're at much high doeses they're at like ten cups a day sort of, level which most people don't get to. But that's what the studies are at, and it shows you can lose about an extra kilogram of weight, with that what the catechins do is they block and enzyme called COMT. And COMT is responsible for breaking down your adrenalin, so if you block the COMT our adrenalin goes up. So what happens is that you get this activation of the sympathetic nervous system and your energy expenditure can go up by about 4%. So not a huge increase, but significant. Essentially when your losing weight a lot of the problems come when your metabolic rate is going down. So if you can take the green tea catechins, and increase your metabolic rate, that's huge. The other thing that they showed in this study from just like 2016 is a randomized controlled trial, is that when you compare it to placebo you get a reduction in Ghrelin. So Ghrelin is a hunger hormone and if you lower Ghrelin you have less hunger which is exactly what people tell us. - Green tea catechins, interesting. - The green tea catechins, yeah absolutely and it's very interesting so it's like that's great because the main problem with weight loss, is that you have too much hunger and your metabolic rate is slowing, that's why people fail with weight loss. Now you have an all natural substance that people have been using for thousands of years, that increases your metabolic rate and lowers your hunger, and what people tell us all the time they drink green tea and then there hunger sorta goes away. - I was gonna ask caffeine's also known to be an appetite suppressant, were they going for that - Yeah it's an additive effect, in fact when you compare catechins and caffiene or caffeine alone, you get better effect with the catechins plus caffiene. So it seems that they - (narrator) there you go - Actually have a better affect. So what caffiene does is it blocks this other enzyme called phosphodiesterase which also raises our adrenaline, so they actually work through different pathways and of course, normal green tea has both catechins and caffeine. You can decaffeinate it but I don't recommend it because if you want the benefit you gotta have both of them to get you know, twice the benefit. So I was just saying, it's interesting that some of the studies they show that Asians actually get a better weight loss affect than Caucasians, because you get an average weight loss of 1.5 kg for Asians vs 0.8 kg for Caucasians and the reason is that, Asians have a higher incidents of this high activity COMT so that's the enzyme that's being blocked by green tea, so if your Asian and you have a lot of activity of the COMT blocking it is gonna give you a better affect. So it's like okay that's really fascinating, but nevertheless 0.8 kg is still a pretty good affect even for Caucasians. But it may even be better for Asians which is huge because you look at the obesity epidemic and like China and stuff it's like massive, because the numbers are huge over there. - (narrator) Right. - The problem is that the dose of catechins you have to have is very high, you have to have up to like 10 cups a day which isn't feasible for most people and that's where we worked with PTea. So what's interesting about PTea, first their tea is really great, I love the stuff. What they've done is they cold brew it and then they sort of dehydrate it, so it's basically crystals of concentrated tea. That's all it is, it's a whole food it's not like what they do in the studies which is kind of industrially extract the catechins and then add it to the green tea. This is sort of a just concentrated cold brew tea, that's all it is. We have people to help with all kinds of stuff, but then when your fasting it's like oh yeah your like, outta luck, like just do it man just man up and it's like okay well you don't do that for anybody else we create stuff to help them, so because nothing was available we've created this. I mean bulletproof coffee is sort of a similar idea but it's different I mean that's people use as a sort of fasting aid as well they don't always say that but that's essentially what they're doing. - It's basically what they're doing, I think the kinda of funny thing with bulletproof coffee is that you're eating like far to many calories of fat so it's just that, you're getting a alot of calories so I think, at a certain point it's still like you're eating a lot of calories, and it's hard to lose weight if you're just eating like 3,000 of butter. So I like the tea , cause again it's like very a caloric if there's not many calories. One thing that we saw that's interesting from a ketone asset perspective one of our projects was a paper published actually kind of near your back thereat UBC and the University of Columbia showing that acute use of ketone actually reduces a glycaemic response so what that means is that a keto nester vs plecebo before a sugar test or a glucose tolerance test, which is kind of a standard test for insulin reserves for insulin reserves resistance or sensitivity reduce the glyaecymic response I'm curios... - I think exogenous ketones have a role to play, and this kind of goes along with this sort of fasting aids and sorta thing, because it's not quite a whole food obviously but again it's something that may help along the way so there's a couple of things, one is that the sort of properties of ketones have not been well appreciated for a long time. I don't think anybody really looks at it ever. So but lately with this sorta interest in this ketogenic diet, you're getting these really really interesting thing's popping up like oh hey you can treat seizures with is, oh hey you can enhance athletic performance with it, oh hey if you get fat adapted hey endurance athletics maybe particularly beneficial if your running your body off ketones. And there point is that if you take a ketone supplement you can get your ketone levels much higher much faster. So the fastest natural way to do it is fasting, but if you take a ketone faster your gonna get way higher. You know like, right away almost. So is there some benefit to that, and increasingly a lot of evidence says yes there could be some potential benefits. The ketogenic diet was originally described like hundreds like 100 years ago as a treatment for seizures and then it got lost with the development of medications and it took not a doctor, but a film producer or you know this is the story of the charlie foundation the son of a famous Hollywood producer had intractable seizures, nothing worked, none of the meds worked, he had the best you know doctors and it took him, researching the archives to find that this ketogenic diet would reduced seizures, so he tried it on his son and boom. All his seizures went away and it's like okay that's a great story, why were the doctors not the ones to do this because they knew about it 100 years ago, and then they totally forgot about it and it's like it takes a Hollywood producer to tell you how to do your job? Like are you kidding me and I always think that that's very instructive because a lot of these things get met with skepticism by the sort of doctors sort of mainstream medicine professionals, but it's like when it works it works then your job is to understand why it works. Ketones falls into that range where maybe there's some benefits to doing it but if it works, don't just say oh that's quackery because that's what everybody says oh I mean I got my fair share of that oh fasting that's just quakery, now it's like oh you know - (narrator) they've all learned about it now. (laughing) yeah there like of course it works you're not eating so your blood sugars will go down and it's like, that's not what you said four years ago five years ago you said " that'll never work, you're a quack" like but if you don't eat you'll lose weight, their like no you won't like how are you not gonna lose weight. This is the same thing with ketones so that we see in that study what you see is that there's a benefit to the ketones in terms of reducing the blood glucose and of course this is one of the areas that I'm very sort of passionate about, which is type 2 diabetes and hey is there a benefit there? So it's very preliminary obviously but maybe you can use it as an adjunct in some way, maybe you can use it in conjunction with the ketogenic diet or conjunction with fasting or some of these dietary mechanisms or even with your regular medications and maybe you can lower the blood glucose and is there benefit so maybe the answer is yes, we don't know. All we can say is that it's worthwhile studying. The other thing I think is very interesting about exogenous ketones in type 2 diabetics anyway, is that you can measure this ketone to a glucose index so as your blood glucose falls your ketone should rise because your body is essentially switching over from burning to burning ketones and burning fat. This doesn't always happen in type 2 diabetics. So if your glucose falls, your ketones don't rise - So you feel like (bleep) - Yeah exactly (laughing) so you got no glucose, you got no ketones your just feeling like crap. Now if you stick it out long enough your body will eventually produce ketones because it's not gonna die, but in the meantime it's not as easy as it could be and we've studied this, we know that this sorta of glucose ketone index exists and that there are different slopes for different people, so normal people glucose down, ketones up, type 2 diabetics, a lot of them, glucose down ketones not up, so what do you do? Well that's where exogenous ketones could have a benefit maybe if you define the proper place to use it you could say okay we'll give them ketones until they get into that ketonic state themselves - Until obviously they produce it - Exactly because they can't endogenously produce. So if you're trying to get into that ketonic state, but your falling into this low energy state where you have no glucose, no ketones you can bridge it with exogenous ketones until that fasting kinda kicks in and you produce endogenous ketones. It's like hey that'd be a great solution, then you can get into there, then you can start getting better from the diabetes and stuff. - (narrator) Yeah. - So many possibilities here, and I think that paper was a great first step - Yeah no I appreciate your perspective there as someone who's looked at it clinically across.
