This is quite interesting in how it talks about nutrients to the brain, and how it’s also catalytic
I didn’t know that your diet affected your brain function that much.

That’s so interesting!
Do you have a booklet or book on the diet?
It is very interesting.

I really liked the presentation Dr. John gave. The clip showing the pro filter vs the former one really showcases the importance of air filters. Overall it was very interesting, and only mildly disgusting.
The team who worked on making the noise cancelling headphones must have been so excited when they finally figured out how to cancel out outside noise.

Thats good to know that diet effects our brains. So now i know if i’m feeling really slow to think back on what i’ve been eating.
The Catalytic Diet sounds like a smart way to boost metabolism by balancing carbs, fats and just the right amount of protein. It feels like a gentle but effective approach to sustainable health and energy without overloading the body
This video was very interesting. I never noticed how much of an effect your diet has on your brain too.
I thought how the air filters were made was super cool.

We love eating healthy!

My mom always talks about how important nutrition is, thank you for the reminder!
Our food is sprayed with glyphosates and then bleached and fortified with synthetic “vitamins” (poison), then further processed with who knows what else like injections of all kinds in livestock. That’s why people are obese. The same food grown and sold in America is not the same food grown and sold overseas. Obesity is the result of the human body getting attacked by ingredients sold in America which are outright banned in Europe. A sandwich sold in America is considered poison in Europe and their government doesn’t even recognize it as food. Neither do our bodies. Our fat accumulation is the result of how our bodies handle so-called food.
Thanks for explaining about the Acellus gold, I will go check it out. Also I think the diet is interesting.
My mom loves eating healthy
It’s so cool how Dr. Billings was able to create this diet!
Love this video you explain really well!
This is so facinating!
Dr. John’s lesson was super interesting!
This is very helpful. My dad will be trying this diet for himself. Thank you!
As a gymnast, my parents also teach me the importance of a balanced diet! I love sweets but i also make sure to eat vegetables and fruits everyday and make sure I’m fueling my body to be healthy overall as an athlete
This was a good science live!
Is there another place you recommend going to learn more about this!
This is a cool science live.
I loved this live.
This a very interesting concept for a diet. Could this be implemented in government schools and even private institutions?
As someone who’s trying to be a bit healthier in their day to day life, thank you for showing me what I should be aiming for! :]
That’s so interesting about protein.
Understanding nutrition is important for so many people, including children. Diets are good for all ages and should be easily maintainable.
Love the information. We are looking forward to seeing all that Acellus has to offer.

I liked learning about the wheat.

I think that it would be interesting to try this diet.
I did not know that air fliters are molded after nose hairs.
The catalytic diet is so different from what’s being taught by medical experts and pushed by society. It would be interesting to try this out.
I am not a big heavy meat eater (though I eat it), but I definitely think that Dr. Billings finding out this is causing too many weight problems is very interesting. And yes, I think we should all get our physical activity going, drink water, and eat a healthy meal because it comes with the whole picture of staying healthy, which I personally practice.
I would love to try this diet!
Great info! As a student athelete myself watching my diet is a large part of daily life.
Anybody else think Dr.B’s Tie is cool?
After watching this i have decided to follow this diet regularly
I did not even know that about mucus, that is so amazing
I really liked this video. I liked the analogy of the dam, too. Really informative, especially since I have family who are diabetic.
As someone who works out a lot doing calisthenics, this is very informative and helps me a lot.
Will definitely be starting this! Sometimes I just lack motivation to get up and move!
It was very interesting to learn about the amount of carbohydrates and protein we consume each day and how it affects us.
I just know I’m going to love this episode! This is what I’ve been into lately.
Wow, I have never heard of a diet such as this. It is a great option!
This is actually pretty interesting. I don’t typically go on diets, but this is very enlightening, thank you.
I have really tried to improve my diet the last few months and would be interested to try this diet.

This diet can change millions of lives.
My family will be trying this diet
This episode has helped me with the understanding of how protein is consumed in the body. I have a cousin with a rare re-occurring rhabdomyolysis disease, which has to do with his protein intake and absorption. This has helped with my understanding of how protein is used in the body.
Very interesting. How could be calculated what is the right protein for ourselves?
That’s one more discovery in Dr. Billings list of accomplishments.
My mom took notes to try it out.
I really liked this one. I play football and needed to learn more about nutrition as fuel.

I like the video. I just started Acellus in August. I like it the platform. I have learned a lot and I can do my work at my own pace. I like it because I feel more independent.
I think it is really cool that you are going to broadcast in California.

Another amazing episode! It was really helpful! Thanks again Dr. Billings!

I am enjoying my course and cant wait to try the activities.
Love this so much!!!
Loved this episode and I can’t wait to keep watching from Illinois!
Too much protein is bad for you
This Science Live was very inspirational. It is good to always keep a healthy diet, because it will impact you later in your life. Sugar may be fun to enjoy, but it’s best to keep away from it and have it as a once in a while snack.
My favorite teachers are Mr. Rogers, Mrs. Rogers, and Mrs. Monet. I like the new videos but I wish they kept the dolphin on the science intro on the videos. I didn’t know Mrs. Monet was in tech and engineering. She has a calming voice in SEL. She is cool.
One of my favorite episodes!
R-51 is so funny!
Thank you so much. you make learning about science so much more fun.
This so cool!
A healthy diet is very important! So happy to continue another year with Acellus Academy
The fact that you can power cars with hydrogen is so cool.
This is awsome!!!!
A healthy diet is important, bad diets like to much sugar is bad for your health.
this is amazing!
I loved this episode!
I love this online school app it so much easier to work with 😊💕
Wow
My mom has her own business too, she says if you follow your heart you will succeed, you just have to want it enough. I want to be a police officer.
So glad to be back starting another year! looking forward to all the science lives
Great live!
