Are our doctors lying to us? With Dr. Ken Berry, MD - Diet Doctor Podcast

All DD podcasts: www.dietdoctor.com/podcast
Dr. Ken Berry wants us all to be aware that much of what our doctors say may be a lie. Maybe not an outright malicious lie, but much of what "we" believe in medicine can be traced back to word-of-mouth teachings without a scientific basis. In his book, "Lies My Doctor Told Me" he uncovers the most common of these misconceptions. He also shares his story how he learned the power of a ketogenic diet and how that has revolutionized his ability to help his patients. Dr. Berry has an open and honest approach and pulls no punches. That's one reason why he is always informative and entertaining!

[@TheKingdomWeigh]

When my doctor said, "great! looks like your meds are working". I responded, "I never took them". He looked puzzled and paused. I said, "I changed the way I eat and only eat low carb". He said hesitantly, "well, keepdoing what you're doing" I didn't have the boldness to tell him that I'm eating carnivore.

I think Dr. Atkins was on the right track in 1972 and brought low carb to the publics atention. But I don't think the original Dr. Atins diet is where most of us have ended up today. And there were others who championed a low carb diet ;ong before Atkins. But for some reason they didn't get the recognition that he did. I think it was probably timing.

Yeah--the trash talking about Dr. Atkins is despicable. I saw him on the Larry King Show a couple of weeks before his death and he looked fit and was talking about playing tennis.

You’re very correct when you say that some people just need the Carnivore diet. I’ve eaten Keto for several years, but sill had a weight struggle and arthritic pain. I’ve worked out for 12 years, so exercise wasn’t lacking. I’ll be 74 in April and am still working out and walking, but the weight thing had become very discouraging. In the past month, I’d realized I was one of the people who had to stay under 10 grams of carbohydrates per day. I prayed and asked God to lead me to what I needed to do. Last week I discovered Carnivore, researched it a bit, and went right into it. I’ve been eating this way for less than a week, I adore the diet, and the weight is literally melting away! My husband, 76 in March, decided to do it too. His BP normalized in a couple of days! I expect we’ll get better by the day and I thank God for you! (I was an RN.) Carol

My cardiologist wasn't lying to me regarding my high blood pressure, he just didn't know what was causing it, nor did he care. Meds were his answer. I found this unacceptable, and fired him, so to speak. On my own, I had to determine what the problem was. Diet was the issue, and sugar was the culprit. I eliminated all sugar, and cut way back on grains. With my insulin under control, my BP came down to normal range. No meds whatsoever. My former doctor would have had me on drugs for the rest if my life. 40 years of chemicals in my body? No thanks. The Internet has its benefits ; ).

[@ivermec-tin666]

@royczak I believe he has covered this on his channel. I am assuming that you went keto and have your carbs under 50 grams per day? The cholesterol heart hypothesis was founded on a set of statistical manipulations from Ansel Keyes in the 1950's. That hypothesis has been revealed to be practically meaningless. Even Mr. Keyes recanted on his dietary recommendations before his death. Total cholesterol, by itself, doesn't really indicate anything. Even if you buy into this cholesterol hypothesis; you need to look at the ratio of HDL to LDL and triglycerides. If you are concerned about CVD, I recommend checking out videos on youtube by Ivor Cummins. If you are in your 50's, and you have this concern, I would suggest you seek out a local center that provides a CAC score, on a cash basis. The coronary artery calcium score is not the standard of care, but is the only test that will provide you with a baseline of the actual condition of your coronary arteries as they are today. If you shop around by phone, you should be able to find this service for under $100.00 cash. Aside from a diet free from processed foods and fake foods, routine moderate exercise is the next best thing for your body. There is a very strong correlation between high blood sugar and CVD. It is worth getting your A1C tested in your next physical exam. It should be under 5.5 or so. If you are insulin resistant, you need to know it. There are no symptoms of this condition. Type 2 Diabetes develops silently, and the symptoms are frequently missed by md's. Are you happy with your weight? Being pear shaped, and having large deposits of adipose tissue around the belly or waist tend to correlate with insulin resistance and CVD. Generally, if your waist size is less than 1/2 of your height in inches, then you are on target.

[@ivermec-tin666]

Dr. Berry, I know you have shared most of these details on your own channel, but the synopsis here is the most comprehensive and memorable I have heard. The insight into how liquid dairy relates to your GERD is particularly of interest. I am curious, does RAW milk cause this problem for you? And, do you distinguish between RAW cheeses and pasteurized ones in your own diet? Keto and Carnivore diets for autoimmune conditions such as hashimoto's is a fascinating subject. The causal linkages elude me, but in my case, my allergies are radically diminished, and my osteoarthritis has halted it's progression. It is pretty miraculous in this regard. Welcome to the N=1 world!

[@tenazrael]

@royczak No. - kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqTRnIGngaZnhdU and kzbin.info/www/bejne/ioOlYZ2Fm96ggs0 Instead, get a ctscan of your arteries. Or a CAC or something similar. I believe it's a score. Then every 6 months, get that score checked. Did it go up? Did it stay the same? Did it go down? The real cause of plaque in arteries is sugar. The higher your blood glucose levels, the more damage it does to your arterial walls, the more cholesterol will go the the area of damage, and use calcium (plaque) to repair the damage.

This brought me to tears! I've been "compliant" with doc's orders for YEARS! To the extreme in fact. Jogging an hour a day, 1200 calories of fruits/veggies/grains a day. COULDN'T LOSE WEIGHT. Diagnosed with Hashimoto's two yrs ago (Levo prescribed), extreme clinical depression (SSRI's prescribed), extremely high cholesterol (more meds), psoriasis/psoriatic arthritis (topical & methotrexate injections), heel spurs/plantar fasciitis (injections), daily hives & frequent full force allergic reactions(just had to live with it cuz doc couldn't even explain it), brain fog, bad gut/body inflammation, CHRONIC FATIGUE AND Strong Iron & Vitamin D scripts (although I work outdoors everday!!!....Yet I was getting sicker & feeling worse while being "COMPLIANT" and trusting of doc's orders(not to mention the oxy scripts for EXTREME joint & psoriasis & foot pain) and horrible daily constipation. Fast forward to today...Once I incorporated carnivore/ketovore AND Strength training/weight lifting into my daily life(no more jogging), I'm a brand new person! NO MORE MILK, Or grains....The weight fell off, muscle gained, joint pain/psoriasis almost gone, brain fog/depression GONE! Hashimoto's meds down to 25 mcg daily (TSH 0.5) No more t3 meds, antibodies almost gone, foot pain/inflammation almost non-existent, bad cholesterol way down, NO MORE SSRI's NO MORE PAIN MEDS!!! NO MORE DANGEROUS METHO INJECTIONS OR POINTLESS TOPICALS...Much more mental clarity, no more allergic reactions Occasional hives (from a little dairy now & then). THE ENTIRE MEDICAL COMMUNITY HAS TO BE COMPLETELY RE-EDUCATED and The pharmaceuticals to treat symptoms of diseases needs to be eliminated. The focus on diet should be at the top of the priority list for good health and doctor's orders! My rheumatologist literally said "diet has nothing to do with psoriasis/psoriatic arthritis!!! My endocrinologist LITERALLY says "diet has nothing to do with thyroid/hypothyroidism/hashimoto's markers" and my favorite "there's no point in checking your Hashimoto's antibodies, only your tsh will tell us what we need to know" I was blown away by these statements and proved both doctors wrong and I no longer go to these doctors!

[@Jefferdaughter]

Yes, the gallbladder does not make the bile that helps digest fats. The gallbladder stores bile, which is squeezed out when a high-fat meal is consumed. When people avoid eating much fat for a long time, the bile sits in the gallbladder and begins to solidify, making gallstones. In spite of what physicians have been taught, and tell the people who hire them (aka 'patients'), gallstones are caused by low-fat diets.

The carnivore diet and drinking just water is simple and tasty, but you really need a medical reason to keep up the diet - good health or gut pain/skin rashes that burn, itch and take weeks to heal. I will choose the carnivore diet any day. I only eat 2x/day. My teeth and gums are much better too, as well as my cognitive health. I am much calmer and relaxed. I am afraid to deviate from it because I feel so much better. I wish I learned about the carnivore diet much earlier in my life.

Love this,, I was cooking my Dinner and listening to this podcast and heard confirmation about why I am on this Diet.. Besides my weight loss of 53 pounds so far and getting off every single one of my Prescription meds, of Statins, Blood pressure, Heart, Thyroid, and Diabetis, my favorite was 2 months into my diet I no longer have acid reflux.. I have suffered Severe Gastritis for 30 plus years and was taking 60 mgs a day for it.. NO More .. I will NEVER again eat sugar or Grains because I found that doing so ACTIVATES my symptoms .. So, You are my current Favorite Doctor ,, I threw the Calories out the window and eat mainly Meat, Eggs and Butter , very few greens and berries., but, over-all, I will stay on this the rest of my life .. By the way I will be 66 years of age on the 3rd of January 2020 and I am looking Forward to this next year because this past year started my Keto Journey and now I am gonna just Live it!

I really enjoy all the Diet Doctor podcasts! But this one with Dr. Berry is more relatable than most of your interviews. Simply for the fact that he takes medical terms and translates them to English so the rest of us can understand! It’s simple and straightforward and candid. Sometimes we NEED that in your face style to get us to realize what we’ve been doing for so long is broken and wrong and needs to be fixed! Thank you for this interview.

I went to Cardio Rehab after a heart attack. Nutritionist gave me their diet. Heavy in whole grains, vegetable oils (Canola was in BOLD at the top!) , low in sodium. I followed it to the "T" and felt like crap. Muscles wasted, couldn't get out of bed in the AM. Statins, BP meds, the whole nine yards. I went low carb/ketoish, and now, I dropped all meds, lost 40 lbs, BP 128/80 (at 64 that's excellent!) and cardiologist knows that I am on the right track. We agree completely on the diet I chose. My PCP is having a fit. Thanks for all that you do Drs Scher and Berry. I am sure this information will soon be censored with the grain fed push toward vegan bird food..

I tried the whole foods plant based, LOW FAT diet for several years because I was afraid of getting heart disease like my grandpa. When I started eating this way, I was about 150 lbs and was fairly healthy. Over the next several years, I gained 45 lbs, developed super bad acid reflux to the point where I would wake up choking on stomach acid in my sleep, which eventually lead to a diagnosis of EoE and a subsequent daily PPI to turn off stomach acid. By the end of 2020, I was so sick I could barely walk, my cholesterol was 129, HDL - 39, and I was super fatigued all the time. Worst of all, the food I would eat would literally sit in my stomach for days before finally digesting. Always full, never hungry, but starving from the inside out - yet I was still 195 pounds. When I made the switch to a low carb high fat diet, my acid reflux issues began to resolve to the point where I was able to throw away almost a full bottle of my meds a year ago and haven't needed one since. My digestion is getting better and better every day, my energy levels are improving, and I'm more satiated with my diet than I ever was with the low fat vegan diet. I've lost a few pounds, but nothing major just yet. I can only assume my body is still working on correcting itself after going so long without much fat in my diet. There are still some days where I begin to panic because I'm eating more saturated fat than I have in years. The heart disease scare is real... but then I remember how my body FEELS. If I need to take a pill just to make the diet work, it ain't really working.

Dr. Berry, I went to a diabetic dietician last Monday. I've had severe hypoglycemia, not diabetes, since I was inside my mom. She ate fake sugar, margarine, shortening, vegetable and canola oils. I was born 1979. My mom was in the no fat, no sugar minds t and she was a nurse, so she was dedicated. Yet she would make tons of baked goods and so my blood sugar would swing all over. I suffered all the hypoglycemia symptoms in lists I've found, except coma and death, my whole life. I have almost gone blind and suffered more than I can tell you here. I have had almost no hunger and lived off coffee with sugar and half and half for years because I needed to keep my blood sugar up. After my appt last Monday I began studying what she said. She didn't want me to eat high fat carnivore like I'm now doing, but she kept saying I had to eat 3 times a day and had to have protein. Somehow the vids led me to this diet. I began transitioning Monday evening and have been only high fat carnivore since 2 am Wednesday. My blood sugars have been between 93-123, usually between 101-119. So many symptoms are already going away. I've had no sugars, carbs or plant foods since starting Wednesday morning. I took a ketone test Thursday and was at 15. Friday ketones were 40. Will take another later today. I am so appreciating your vids. I am a hard core conspiracy theorist realist on Facebook and a narcissism coach oh TikTok. I have a mom who is a nurse, so is my aunt, my brother in law was a doctor but he died 2020. My exes aunt was a nurse. I grew up having multiple family friends who were doctors and their kids, my age became doctors. My sister in law is a nurse practitioner. I would talk to them about my health problems and they all said the same things that didn't work. I e tried so many quality diets some high protein, some balanced, even raw plant food vegetarian. It only worked for a couple weeks then I would get sick and weightless plateaus and many health issues plus exhaustion. Ive even taken 22 homeopathic supplements costing $3,000 for a year and no matter what, even if I would lose 20 pounds, nothing ever keto working and I would gain more back than I lost. I got pneumonia years ago and lost my appetite and never got it back, but now am finally having hunger for the steak, eggs and butter Ive been eating. I have been told I have abdominal lipoma under my skin. Can this help shrink those? Will "Exipure" help me lose the lipoma without surgery? What about natural food based ways to get the right electrolytes, vitamins and nutrients? I have a theory, that plant based, sugar carb dependent diets require aerobics types of exercise. But I wonder if high fat carnivore is better with strength building muscle training??? I think walks or jogs might be good too, but I used to do aerobics to try to lose and it always exhausts me but doesn't make me lose weight. I wonder if aerobic is sugar fuel based. I wonder if muscle building is fat carnivore based. I am a conspiracy realist a out many subjects, so I immediately understood the food conspiracy as y'all carnivores were talking in your vids and you're spot on. I see it. I'm all in. I have little to no sugar cravings now and I got to the point of hating sugar and carbs because I was so dependent on them day and night my whole life. So I don't miss them. I'm completely relieved I don't have to eat them. I am also wondering, how do we know if we have a kidney problem or if this is being hard on our kidneys. I was in hospital Feb 28- Mar 2 with sepsis, urinary Tract infection, infected bladder then kidney then blood. My left kidney has been sore the whole time and I can't get a doctor to look into it for me. What can I do and how can I know if it's ok or damaged?

I have no gallbladder and I’m pretty sure my high carb diet caused that. I’m now ketovore (carneto?) and working my way to full carnivore. I’ve figured out that many keto approved foods like almonds, broccoli, and Brussels sprouts are not my friends. Tomatoes seem fine. Garlic seems fine. So far, coconut seems fine. Mushrooms are the devil for me! I’m 53 but people say I look between 35-40-ish. When I was 32 the bottom fell out for me and I started a long journey of chronic pain until I discovered keto in 2018. Dr. Berry was integral in that. I fell off during the holidays the first year and it was a real struggle to get back on even though I’d been thriving for the last 7 months. Thank God I found my way back 2 years ago and I’m beginning to thrive again. The only pain I feel today is from a spinal stenosis which causes pain down my legs that is probably the result of a lifetime of high carb eating. Now I watch my daughter feed her kids what is considered healthy but let’s them snack at will on snack cakes, otter pops, and donuts. It breaks my heart that she doesn’t listen that child 2 struggles with reading most likely because of what he eats.

Great discussion on dairy. A favorite point that you make is turning the tables and asking for the evidence demonstrating the safety of adding novel foods or processes to the diet.

[@Jefferdaughter]

YES! However, Dr. Berry is unaware that milk and milk-based foods have been in the human diet far, far longer than imagined. Obviously, all humans started out with milk a their sole food. Breast milk was likely a very important part of the diet of human for years after birth. Also, other animal species DO consume milk whenever they can get it. When predators kill a lactating animal, the first thing they consume is the udder with the milk inside. Even before they eat the liver, or other viscera. (This is probably the origin of at least some of the stories about 'aliens' 'mutilating' cattle. ) Farm animal like swine and poultry will readily consume milk, and do not have to 'learn' to like it. Even free-range pigs/hogs and poultry, not just confined animals. Milk-fed, or buttermilk, and/or whey-fed pork used to be a specialty of certain countries or regions, and was famous for its quality. The hams were shipped all over the world at premium prices. When going for record high production from dairy animals, milk was not uncommonly fed back to goats and cows, especially when the value or prestige of having a record-holding dairy animal, or a breed leader in milk production exceeded the market value of that milk. Even more than other predators, early humans targeted not the old and sick animals, but the 'fat and sassy' animals in the herd - which were typically females, often lactating. While milk production peaks a few months after their young is born, animals like cattle and horses continue to produce modest amounts of milk and allow their young to nurse for nearly a year, sometimes until just before they deliver their next offspring. Early humans co-operated to run entire herd of animals over cliffs, or into gullies, canyons, deep mud, etc. it is difficult to single out one animal from a herd, but astonishingly easy to move an entire herd together. The people of the Andean highlands still round up vicuna this way, with everyone, including young children and babes in arms, helping to herd the animals into ancient stone corrals in what they call the chaccu. Herding cultures domesticated animals long before most anthropologists or archeologist are aware. They tend to think that this occurred after the relatively widespread cultivation of crops began, when artifacts show animal being used to plow or pull carts. Yet it is a small step from following the herds, as early humans were known to do, to herding. In terms of artifacts and the affects of diet on human skeletal remains, the difference would be slight or non-existent. While there are some differences in the milk of different species, milk is more alike than different. Human milk is higher in lactose than cow's milk, and is more similar to mare's milk in that way. In addition to cattle and horses, the milk of reindeer, goats, sheep, camels, yaks, and water buffalo is still being used by people. Eland (a large African antelope) and moose are also milked. It is said that moose cheese is the most expensive cheese in the world. (Cheese tends to sell for far more than fluid milk, and keeps far longer.) Of course these people were consuming milk and milk-based foods that had not been industrially processed. Yogurt and cheese happen fairly spontaineously: fresh milk left in a warm spot 'clabbers' or becomes yogurt. We make it this way ourselves- no cooking, no added cultures. Milk carried in the stomach of a young animal (water-proof vessels were frequently made from animal parts, like wineskins mentioned in the Bible) interacted with the enzymes in the lining of the young animal's stomach, resulting in cheese. Most everyone who has 'lactose intolerance' has no issues when consuming fresh, unprocessed milk. Raw milk contains both naturally occurring beneficial bacteria (aka 'probiotics') and lactase, the enzyme that breaks down lactose. This also explain why few infants experience lactose intolerance when consuming their mother's milk. A breast-fed baby (the young of a human) is consuming that milk raw. There are a number of other differences between the white liquid sold in supermarkets and 'un-fooled around with' milk: - Industrial processing destroys the beneficial bacteria, aka the probiotics, as mentioned; - The beneficial enzymes, including lactase, are destroyed by the heat treatment. - The fat is reduced to 'standardized' whole milk levels of 3.25% butterfat. The milk of Jersey and other heritage cattle breeds can be as high as 5% or more. The cattle of the Masai reportedly produced milk that was around 8% butterfat. Even the modern commercial American Holstein will produce milk at 4% butterfat when fed a high forage diet based on pasture and other forages (hay, fermented hay). - The fat globules are artificially reduced in size, to prevent the cream from rising. The smaller butterfat particles can more readily cross the gut lining, especially in people with leaky gut, those who consume plants that damage the gut lining (see Dr. Paul Mason's KZbin video on lectins), or those who consume processed foods containing emulsifiers. Emulsifiers are found in frozen foods, and also in many milk-based foods. (A dairy is a room or building where milk is handled and cheese and other milk products are made.) - The heat treatment of pasteurization changes the structure of the proteins in milk. - The vitamin content is reduced, and some vitamins naturally found in milk are damaged or completely destroyed by the pasteurization process, including Vit C. - The fat-soluable vitamin content is reduced three ways: 1.) By reducing the overall fat content of the milk; and 2.) the above-mentioned heat-treatment, and 3.) Industrially produced milk comes from animals fed a grain and soy-based diet, with little or no access to fresh pasture. Those grains and soy are virtually all GMO (lab created, not selected) and frequently loaded with toxic synthetic chemical residues. Nearly all raw milk produced for sale in the U.S.A. comes from small, pasture-based farms (not 1,000-10,000 cow operations). - Immune factors naturally present in milk are destroyed by the processing. - The milk from cows on pasture and especially 100% 'grassfed' cows (a grain and soy-free diet consisting only of forages) is significantly higher in Omega 3s. The levels of Omega 3 in 'grassfed' milk and milk products from the dairy, like 100% 'grassfed' meat, are high enough to make consuming oily fish unnecessary. (Dr. Paul Mason) NOTE: UNLIKE the Omega 3 found plants (and just a few; flax aka linseed being the most common dietary source) the Omega 3 fatty acids are in the correct form to be assimilated and used to support brain development and function. - The A1 protein found in the milk of certain cattle breeds is also an issue for some people. The A1 casien mutation is common in cows in industrial dairies, though the use of bulls that do not carry that mutation is become more widespread and and will gradually reduce the incidence of A1 milk. Most raw milk producers select cows that are A2 A2 and do not produce that altered protein. This protein apparently only occurs in cattle - not goats, sheep, or the other species whose milk is consumed by humans. Not everyone needs to consume milk or milk products. However, milk is very similar to blood, which was also a staple in the early human diet, and still is in many regions. Herding cultures developed a symbiotic relationship with the animals, protecting them from other predators. Milking them literally allowed them to 'have their cake and eat it, too'. The Masai may be best known for living primarily from the milk, blood, and meat of their cattle and goats, with only incidental if any consumption of plants, but numerous cultures around the world also relied heavily on the milk of their animals. In certain climates, including alpine regions (European Alps, Tibet), boreal forest and tundra (reindeer herders), and dry and/or cold grasslands (Mongol herders, herders of camels, sheep, and goats in North Africa, the Middle East, etc) pastoralism was the only way to survive. It is the most sustainable form of agriculture ever devised. Edited primarily to add information and links. More info: www.RealMilk.com

Jefferdaughter YEAH! Also according to the Bible God led the Israelites to a " land flowing with MILK and honey " maybe these people have more wisdom than God !

[@luminoussoulenergyhealing]

Thank you so much for this! I’ve been obese most my life. I’ve hit the gym and had a nutritionist take care of me but nothing worked! Diets would leave me miserable and still unhealthy. I’m immediately starting this approach. Again, thank you.❤

[@ladycactus110]

Good for you. The gym is not useful at all. Neither is the nutritionist. Save that money for good bacon and meat!!! Let us know how you’re doing!

[@NikoleM6776]

How's it going?

[@abarnswell]

Life changing. I've been on a zero-carb diet for a few weeks now and have lost 16 pounds and feel AMAZING. Please keep up the good work and spread the news about what really is the "proper human diet."

[@itisfinshedpsalm9183]

So no vegetables?

[@UTAH100]

Some carbs are good- used for fuel. The problem is people go too extreme. ALL carbs or NO carbs. Less carbs is good.

[@davem4193]

@@UTAH100 you don't need carbs for fuel and there's nothing extreme about zero carbs. I've been zero carb for 6 months and have more energy on mountain hikes than I've ever had and I've been keto (20 carbs or under) for 7 years. Carbs are not a macronutrient. If carbs were necessary for fuel I wouldn't be able to hike 22 miles with 4000 feet of elevation gain in a day without even eating anything all day.

[@UTAH100]

@@davem4193 That's interesting thanks for sharing. So do you primarily just eat meat? What are your top 5 foods and drink? I'm curious

[@davem4193]

@@UTAH100 yes I only eat meat now. When I was keto I got my carbs from things like broccoli and cheese. I was also still using artificial sweeteners. Now that I've cut those out I lost 20 pounds and weigh the same as I did in high school (I'm 49 years old). I eat as much as I want but stay strictly meat. I mostly eat 80% ground beef due to cost but also eat ribeyes, chuck steaks and sirloin tips. I eat pork like bacon, pork bellies and pork loin. I raise chickens so I eat eggs every day plus I like lots of seafood such as clams, sardines, shrimp, lobsters, mackerel and salmon. I only drink water but some people who do zero carb still drink coffee and tea.

[@finallycarnivore]

Thank you Dr. Berry, for finally being the whistle blower!

[@garrykarching4241]

Dr's Thanks for your honesty. It's the vibe i've been picking up over the last few years that as people collectively learn more truths that we must humble ourselves and admit, 'We were wrong... now let's move forward.' And i don't resent a doctor saying 'I gave wrong advice to my patients', this out of ignorance, following guidelines from Governments and the respect for those mentors you looked up to. But I appreciate that you are still willing to learn and improve. I work in mechanical engineering, and the machines haven't cared that 30 years on I still want to improve myself, but you are leaders. Your people want you to save them. Don't be so proud and go help your people.

[@skinnydee1886]

This was a very interesting and detailed podcast. Thank you Dr. Berry and Dr. Scher; may God forever bless you guys 🙏🌹

[@qlooker41]

You're ALL too polite, understanding, and forgiving: Conservatively estimated, how many humans have DIED who would not have, had this "new" information not been pushed down and suppressed? How many needless deaths are DIRECTLY attributable to the glacial pace at which this life-saving information is being taken up, disseminated, and practiced by the medical community? Be MORE strident! You have the platform. Lives depend on it!

[@megaswenson]

You are absolutely correct! And it's CRIMINAL that the medical/nutritional establishment is STILL being allowed to PERPETUATE their destructive practices and "advice". People are still dying (and going blind, and having their limbs amputated, and being committed to "memory care" facilities...), because the Medical and Food Industries are not really changing.

[@mgmovassaghi1733]

Thank you Dr Barry you are very knowledgeable and honest and experienced physician I wish all of them was like you God bless you

[@bokie51]

I've lost and regained hundreds if not thousands of pounds. Because of my mental state, I've never been able to lose and keep it off. And pills weren't the answer, dealing with the things that life had installed in my mental psyche. I got to weighing 386 pounds before finally , dealing with the reason I over ate. Unhappiness, depression, anxiety. The core reason for these is Fear. Fear of confronting all the fearful things brought on by living the life we had to live. Not everyone had the mental strain that I had growing up and thousands if not millions of others gained weight from lack of good mental health. But, now after dealing with the mental health my physical health is much easier.

[@kellymcclary9379]

Dr B....I get it. I feel 100% better at 63 than I did at 35. Amazing

[@cr8156]

Excellent! This should be required viewing in medical school.

[@RobinSheaTV]

Doctor Berry, thank you for giving my husband the confidence to finally take my advice which is “Your Advice”. He is classic “skinny fat”; has also had one stroke at 58 and on his way to another! I had resigned myself to losing him too early simply because he is so stubborn, wanted to rely on medicine to manage his condition. He ate as he had before the first stroke. Nothing I did made an impact. His last blood work was a disaster and he has been taking his medication faithfully- I think his lightbulb went off and I sent him one of your shortest videos. FINALLY he watched it and has been on board for the past 10 days! Doesn’t seem like much, but it is huge! With 403 triglycerides fingers crossed we can reverse this in time before another major event. 22 hdl, very low ldl too! Nothing working for him but your guidelines! I’ll keep you posted!

[@Tom-ls1vi]

Any updates Robin?

[@RobinSheaTV]

@@Tom-ls1vi not yet! I’m giving it the full 90 days before we retest his blood. It’s been 5 weeks 🤞 I’ll let you know as soon as I have the results. I am always requesting the expanding testing on his ldl as well as the other markets Dr. Berry recommends ~ I’m hopeful!

[@SteelerNationBaby]

Ken Berry, sten Eckberg, Eric berg are my go to mentors on modern day health. Zero processed. Fresh whole organic low glycemic alkaline foods. Healthy keto. Intermittent fasting. Sleep hygiene. Bodybuilding. Cardio. Positive healthy relationships.

[@cmadoyle1111]

I follow the Keto diet and I love this pod cast and I am sharing it to open peoples eyes to the lies that they have accepted. I am officially a fan.

[@kristinerickson8350]

I am on Keto. Now I am OFF HBP meds. Hallelujah. Inflammation is down!!

[@laurasweeney2546]

Thank you so much for this interview. I'm trying to figure it all out by listening attentively to these interviews.

[@patcomly9886]

I have a nurse friend who has now asked me more about what I am doing. She remarked on how great I look. I should add that I am approaching 69 years of age. In addition to keto & fasting, I also do resistance training and walk. My friend has talked to me for years about letting food be your medicine and avoiding medication. She spent a lot of money on a nutrition course with the goal of becoming a health coach, but her diet is low in protein & high in carbs.

[@raewise6345]

When I go to my doctor, we have MUCH more interesting conversations now!! Thank you, God bless!!!

[@maryland8532]

Quality outlook on today's misconceptions of a good diet. Thanks to Dr. Berry we have truth and good sense approach to a better healthy solution for reverting to basics.

[@PGpenny6]

Great interview! I appreciate the knowledge being shared by Dr. Berry, as I have listened to many of his youtube broadcasts over the past year of my own journey into "low carb/keto" lifestyle living. Wishing him and his wife well, in light of recent events re Ken's medical practice and their home burning. Thank you to Diet Doctor for running these interviews.

[@zulumagoo1]

People who truly love people, teach truth to people. Biblical. Life. And dietary. I love you Doc's as well! Thank you for extending my life, 50lbs lighter since june. Drinking Ghee coffee, as i was listening. Under the spell of DR Berry's truth. TRUTH, in a witches concoctionary world.

[@tangulo8869]

As always Dr Berry makes a lot of sense for a healthy way of living. Thank you Dr Berry for writing a great book and making so many great videos.
