I was associated with the American Heart Association for 6 years. I attended their annual meeting and at one point during a keynote speech by one of the chief medical officials (a highly respected cardiologist) he cautioned his colleagues that promoting certian policies and diet changes could put them "out of business" which was not the goal of the AHA. I severed my relationship with them later that month.

My last cardiologist started eating keto after I had my second "heart attack" that was triggered by my coronary vasospasms. I had told him that I'll just get back to eating keto, since I had flopped, and other things, to lower my stress hormones. A year later I saw him and he stressed the importance of keto for me, because I flopped again. My cardiologist before him also agreed with keto, but said she couldn't advise me to eat keto because the medical facility she worked for wouldn't allow it. She then tried giving me medications. I'm now over a month into eating keto and feeling much, much better. My angina is next to non existent now. I had to do some heavy detoxing to clear some heavy metals and other stuff, which helped pull me through craving the toxic poison I used to eat.

@@DebraRN1195 Speaking as someone who researches nutrition at the university level, THE best results for all-you-can-eat weight loss at one year, diabetes reversal, and stopping and reversing heart disease have all been achieved on diets with 70% calories from whole food carbs or more. But to do that, you eat very low in fat (~8-12% of calories) to produce superior insulin sensitivity then your eat WHOLE FOOD carbs with lots of fiber (60 g, not 20 g; plus intact grains, not flour in processed foods, etc.). In fact, ALL large, slim, and largely diabetes-free populations in recent history got the majority or vast majority of their calories from whole food carbs (the post-WWII Okinawans, the world's second longest lived formally studied population, they got 85% of calories from carbs). Hmm. All of these inconvenient realities routinely get obscured on low-carb sites that don't realize that 30% calories from fat is not "low-fat" and which routinely conflate the unhealthy effects of processed carbs with the very healthy effects of getting energy from whole food carbs. Take care.

@@NancyBsAdventureDiary Or no doctor. I haven't seen one in years. I'm 65.

[@deborahschaub2925]

AGREED !!!!! Or NO doctor..... i haven’t seen one in years either and NO IM NOT WORRIED/SCARED/ANXIOUS.

[@Marciap17]

Excellent video Dr Berry. Thank you 😊

[@gaylem.3185]

Im so happy I found you. The information is great and truly makes sense . Thank you 😊

[@MrJordan71017]

Such exciting news! You're one of my heroes Dr. Berry!!

[@juliesabatino6595]

In response to this and a comment by Andrew Stanley, I am a health inspector and I have been in school kitchens and I have seen stacks of pound size blocks of MARGARINE in the coolers. I could not believe this is what nutritionist thought was acceptable for school children to eat. It has been a well known fact that stuff is death for many years. Things like this should be the focus of PTA and PTO meetings and maybe things will change. My child has packed lunch for years and will continue to do so. We are Keto and my child's acne has cleared dramatically and he has more energy, we all do. Rock on Dr. Berry!

Dr. Berry KETO saved my husband's life!!! In three months his A1C went from 10 to 5.6 his Dr. said she had never seen such amazing results in such a short period of time!!! His blood pressure has also majorly improved! We both live KETO life since 10-11-21 and combined are at 92 lbs. Lost

[@ginahanley5548]

For the longest time I couldn't understand why I was obese, eating what I thought were healthy cereals, fruits, juice, etc. I changed to a keto diet and intermittent fasting (with a one week fast) in November 2021. I am down 38 pounds and still losing, feel energetic, sleep better, look better. I can't wait to see doctor for annual in May to see my labs.

[@umrumr9453]

Congratulations! You list many positives going Keto IF; I needed to change my ways to betterment my health (Keto IF since March 7, 2016 - ‘literally’ saved my lifechanged my life); now KOMAD (7 mos. in) a tool to alleviate a couple of issues and it is working 10 fold for me; keep up the good work!

[@maxotat]

I know what you mean! I followed MD advice for so very many years and did nothing but gain weight! I cried when I first learned the science behind Keto, and (in my home, alone) screamed long and loud at all the docs who had counseled me in high whole grain, low fat diets, all the while shaming me and calling me a liar (they didn’t believe I was following their diets) for decades. I needn’t have been a shamed, fat woman my entire life! Congrats to you. I wish you well. Keto and Carnivore are so helpful, even now.

[@leslieholland7843]

You are the only kind of INFLAMMATORY I love. Thanks, from someone who has changed her life thanks to you & Dr. Westman (my personal keto doc at Duke). I finally talked my primary care doc into putting me onto a liothryoinine medication because my "fibromyalgia" pain is not responding to everything else. I watched your video on thyroid symptoms (all 42 of them), and had 37. We agreed to "compromise" by treating my thyroid finally. I'll let you know what happens next. I have lost 51 pounds with Dr. Westman's supervision and your bright ideas. Thanks for giving me the knowledge I need to take care of me!

[@advertisercommerce6990]

Had my appointment with my cardio 3 weeks ago, he still was insisting that Keto was not the route for me! I have a follow-up appointment with him in 3 months. It will be very interesting indeed! Thank you for this most important information! Keto all the way!

[@grunklebob9009]

POWERFUL STUFF! TY for this, I never heard it... lol a year and a half later and I NEVER heard this! Been Keto for 7 months, 50 pounds gone, CLOSE to goal and loving every second! Come on people, a few weeks of pain (getting over sugar addiction) and a lifetime of pleasure to follow! LET'S GO!!!

[@SheriMorgan]

Awesome Video Dr.Berry!!! Hopefully more doctors will start encouraging a healthy lifestyle… just watched an addiction specialist mention SUGAR is the worst DRUG out there!!! Crazy that we can stop these illnesses with simple changes! Thank You for being you and for making Neisha smile every day! Love&light from California 💗💗

[@Ass_Burgers_Syndrome]

Was that Dr Robert Lustig? If not, you should watch his videos!

[@jmwarren2012]

Preach it Dr. Berry!!!! I finally found a doctor who checked all the necessary things, and through watching your channel I was able to suggest to the rest of my doctors things to check. I am finally getting the treatments I need, and with the keto diet was able to reverse issues I was having.

[@MsMarcie313]

I needed to see this... I have been off keto for two years now and have never felt worst... my blood pressure was up and now I'm on diuretics 🙄 I'm not happy about it... tried eating oatmeal and other things to lower blood pressure... total fail. Guess I have to work my way back to Keto

[@lloydhlavac6807]

You can do it!

[@barblacy619]

Don’t give up! Jump back on the wagon but first remove all the poison from your home. Call it what is is, it is less painful to face the truth. After 6 months with no sugar I had an ice cream cone with the grandchildren the other day and got the worst stomach ache and could not sleep. Never again. It is poison. I’ve added you to my prayer list that you’d listen to all of Dr Berrys videos and to the Holy Spirit prompting you to take good care of your body. You can do it. Blessings!

[@pattycoast4329]

You go Dr. Ken Berry! Having been educated by you has improved my health tremendously! Thank you!

[@paulklahr997]

Holy shit! Nice job to all the keto professionals!!!

[@desh7120]

Brilliant - love your humour and passion! You’re at the forefront of these changes and deserve far more than a pat on the back. You have changed countless lives already. We are so grateful to you!!

[@deannamiceli7686]

Oh, I am doing the Happy Dance!! 💃🎶💃🎶 In yo face Doc T and Doc B!! ( My cardiologist and former PCP) sorry, I had to!! And thank you so much for keeping it real, Doc Berry!! 🙌

[@christieholder4838]

Dr. Berry...love this video. I have been teaching my patients with diabetes to eat low carb for years. I am glad to see AHA is starting support this too. I have sent many patients to watch your videos. I know your wife is a nurse and she should have called you out on this one too. As a nurse practitioner, I have to ask that you don't call nurse practitioners and physician assistants "mid-level providers" the term is actually found to be insulting to those of us in this field.

[@medbill]

Thank you for all you do

[@rickf4401]

Awesome update on key organizations that are so afraid to change. Thank you!

[@angie4666]

This is great news! Not because it's new news for us, but because so many people rely on these organizations for their advice

[@MonaCHayes]

Your persistence has paid off and handsomely, good job team!

[@MrzE3zy]

Thank God I have a great doctor! She recommended low carb for me even with hard to control HBP and slightly elevated cholesterol (at the time)!

[@metalgod542]

This is so AWESOME. Finally we are getting somewhere. Finally, "medicine" is starting to agree with and reflect what we have known for a long time. This is my brothers and sisters, our time is now.

[@arsrfun]

Thanks Dr. Berry lost 65 lbs. three plus years ago on keto now carnivore. Maintaining proper weight now effortlessly eating carnivore.

[@don.timeless4993]

Dr. Berry, wish you & your family a healthy & happy life. Thank you so much & to your peers

[@jamiepatton9334]

Yay!!!! The day has finally come! Thanks Dr. B for helping fuel this movement!

[@Marciap17]

Hopefully we’ll see you live this year Dr Berry. All the best to you and your family ✌🏻❤️

[@daddlelee]

This is GREAT news! I’m sure the AHA got some pressure to look into the low carb way of eating during the height of Covid.

[@DebraRN1195]

But you never heard the infamous Fauci tell Anyone to Lose weight Control your BP Control your DM They should have been shouting that from the rooftops since April of 2020. We noticed right away when COVID started that virtually all of our patients were obese (many of them morbidly obese) , Diabetic, and hypertensive. Fortunately, I’d lost 40 pounds in 2019 doing Keto. I didn’t realize how fat (I’ll say it!) I was. I didn’t even intend to lose that much, but it just fell off and I felt so good!!! I wear my Dr. Berry “I ❤️ Keto” sweatshirt proudly and will educate anyone who asks about it. 💪

[@brendamcchristy6044]

Thank you Dr. Berry especially about the full thyroid panel

[@deadmetal8692]

My PCP has recommended keto to me for sometime. I'm finally listening after watching your videos Dr. Berry!! 2 week's in. Damn sugar is my Achilles heel......

[@kathyreese4052]

That is only temporary once you get it cleaned out of your system and you're away from it for a while it won't be any big deal so keep up the good work!

[@d.wilbur5164]

And remember hidden sugars in every processed food! Good luck on this great lifestyle!!

[@cherylreid5768]

Sugar is my biggest challenge too, particularly the combination of sugar and fats. Although it’s an ongoing battle it does get easier. It takes longer for some than others. Now I can taste the lactose in cow milk and other natural sugars that I would not have tasted before. I make a sugar free ‘dessert’ from chia seeds, full cream milk, dairy cream or coconut cream and berries. Stay strong!

[@elbertajohnson937]

Thank you for all the research you do for all of us. You are a blessing to us all.

[@williampayne9526]

Thank you for this info- keto got me to lose 110 lbs reverse type 2 diabetes and arthritis is near gone

[@pj41]

As a type 1 diabetic I will stand by what you teach us. I tried high carb low fat after my endocrinologist went ballistic when I said I ate low low carb ( this was 6 years ago.). For 5 years I went through a rough roller coaster ride of highs and lows - and even though my A1 C was acceptable I knew that my time in range was miserable. I spent those 5 years beating myself up ,then I found you on U- tube and didn’t turn back. Thank goodness I am back on track and thriving on keto . Thank you!

[@merrex4808]

Saw my doctor and she said your pre-diabetic so I went on a Keto Diet for 1 year and lost 50 lbs went back to the doctor for my next checkup and she said ok all your stats look good I said wait What about the Diabetes you told me about last time i was here . She checked the records and was stunned asked me how I did it and I said I did the keto diet ate mostly fat for the last year. She was speechless did not know what to say she just kept looking at the computer screen over and over again. I said I ate bacon and hamburgers and eggs with lots of butter and mayo and cheese . Wish you could have seen her face it was priceless.

[@jacobsolliday8017]

Thank you for including the scientific statement links. It's nice when content creators actually include the links to the source material.

[@ssk-4u]

I have been following low carb diet now for almost 3 months [I am 63 years old] and now completely stopped all my T2D and have an average fasting blood sugar level of about 5.8 mmol/l. I have been under T2D medication for almost 20 years and never had my average blood sugar level this low. I have been told by Doctors in Australia that for the rest of my life I will always be medicine dependent as my Sri Lankan hereditary and family history is deemed to be incontrollable. I have news to all these so called experts in Australian medical profession. I would have seen almost 5 specialists to no avail, to be told the same story. Thanks to Doctors like Dr. Ken Berry, now the AHA has woken up. I hope ADA will do the same followed by Diabetes Australia and Diabetes Victoria and promote low carb diet. I should confess that there is a statement in Diabetes Victoria website about the benefits of Ketogenic diets, but hidden in a corner rather than prominent. I hope the change is coming soon enough to save the population of all these rubbish food and the big pharma's that are supporting for only one reason - make huge profits in the process of killing people. These lynch mobs must be prosecuted for genocide.

[@btudrus]

Congrats for your succes but keep doing! You can go even better than 5.8 mmol/l!

[@ssk-4u]

@@btudrus Thanks for the encouragement. It has been only less than 3 months since i changed. I am going to do a blood test end of March, including HbA1c. I just regret I never did this change years ago. But better late than never.

[@robinbeers6689]

@@ssk-4u That is so incredibly stupid that any doctor would think being from Sri Lanka would make any difference at all. This is the proper HUMAN diet. People from Sri Lanka are humans, no? I'm so glad you are doing better and wish you continued health and happiness.

[@ssk-4u]

@@robinbeers6689 Thank you Robin. The reason why many doctors think that Asians will always have diabetes is because the Asian / Sri Lankan food is predominantly large portions rice and wheat. Due to the economic conditions, people there tend to eat a lot of rice to fill their tummies. However, the same is happening in the west not because of economic conditions, but because of abundance of choice of rubbish food that is tasty. People in the west are literally killing themselves because they have been fed so much of misinformation about fat. I should state that I have had a very uphill task of convincing my wife that fat does not make you fat and rice does. But I am winning the battle.

[@robinbeers6689]

@@ssk-4u Good for you. It will be much easier for both of you if you are working on this together as a team. I love Sri Lankan food minus all the rice and other starch of course. Wonderful spices. I bet your wife could rework some traditional dishes to be low carb and delicious.
