This Doctor OUTLIVES His Doctors | Dr. Shawn Baker & Dr. Richard K. Bernstein

[@deanwheeler4304]

This man saved my life. I have been a Type 1 diabetic for 49 years and have followed Dr. B for the last 9 years. I went from an average a1c of 7.8 to 5.1, frozen shoulder disappeared; obesity to normal weight. I escaped the blood sugar rollercoaster. He is my hero! Thank you for the interview. I deserve normal blood sugars.

[@pcread]

He is a legend. He puts most of the medical profession to shame.

[@2old4allthis]

I’ve spoken with Dr. Bernstein a couple of times in the last 20 years. It was in pursuit of research for my physician wife. He was polite, informative, and respectful. He even invited my wife up to do a preceptorship, but her schedule was just too busy. We regret not being able to take advantage of that, but the fact that he offered shows how much he cares about what he’s doing. He is a hero in every sense of the word.

[@justjane1639]

He is a national treasure; he's helped so many, many people.

[@chargermopar]

89 and still working? How can anyone refute this? Type 1 diabetics are supposed to have a shorter life. With an engineering mindset he takes the initiative to get a glucose monitor before they were available. This is also showing how the medical cartel excludes innovation, look at what he had to do to be taken seriously.

[@1-QuackUp-Now]

This man is amazing for his challenges and his persistence! Fighting “the establishment “ is a daunting task. The internet which now can disseminate different data/information/opinions, is helping to expose some of the chicanery we had previously been unaware of amongst major institutions, prestigious journals and big corporations and even individuals.

[@MrdGVeteran]

This is a legendary interview, found Dr. Bernsteins book 3 years ago and been following his T1D guidelines ever since, a1c down from 7.5-8 to high 4's low 5's, no more gum disease and scary lows or fear over long-term complications.

[@schpengler]

He had several examples confirming how proper nutrition information stays hidden. It is amazing how long this information has existed, but not been publicized.

[@johnschlesinger2009]

The "diabetes nurse" at my gp surgery (in the uk) told me my A1c was "very low" at 27 mmol per mole (4.5%). I told her it was exactly where I wanted it to be! I have had type 1 for fifty eight years - normal kidney function, last retinopathy scan was "normal", no neuropathy, and no gastroparesis. I first read Dr Bernatein's book about twenty years ago. I do not follow his dietary recommendations, but aim for normal blood sugars, and avoid high readings like the plague. In the days when I still saw a consultant, he said he thought I was still making some insulin, and I think he might have been right, as I do not find control difficult. Dr Bernstein is a real hero.

[@artsiecrafty4164]

I was pre diabetic with an A1C of 7.9 when I discovered this doc on KZbin. I listen to him all the time. I am now over 80% carnivore. I owe a great deal to this fine man and to Dr. Baker.

Congratualtions,how is your A1C now ? I have been carnivore for almost 4 years now, and reversed all my metabolic problems. I suggest you slowly go more and more closer to 100 % carniovre and see what improvements you see. I realized my greatest results, after going almost 100% carnivore.

[@ew1363]

Good luck to you and your son. I'm T1, follow the Bernstein regimen, and my most recent A1c was 4.5%. The best thing about following the Bernstein regimen is the peace of mind. I hardly ever have to worry about hypoglycemia, and I never have to worry about hyperglycemia. Eg. the lowest my BG has been today was 72mg/dL, and the highest my BG has been today was 102mg/dL.

So while I know evolution is a lie it's scientifically false (only works under top down sciencism) I don't jump automatically for God either, I just know what's not true i.e. evolution of kind as opposed to natural selection of already possessed traits.

So amazing how long he has been fighting the fight, not only for himself, but others. My father died of a diabetes related complication 21 years ago, he suffered so long but wouldn't change anything. (uncontrolled T2) After he passed I began watching my glucose and researching, eventually leading me to carnivore. I have tried to share his books and articles with T1 diabetics for so long, no one will ever listen. They choose to listen to their doctor's "nutritionist" who advise 100 carbs per meal and cover it with insulin. 🙄 Seems like the diabetes world is cultish also. They believe nothing outside their opinions. Long live Dr. Bernstein! 🎉 🙌 🫶

Dr. Baker, that was a very interesting interview with Dr. Berstein! I have never listened to him before, very knowledgable. And it is very awesome that he is still seeing patients and so sharp at age 89! But that goes to show how people should be that sharp at age 89 if barely eating any carbs, or zero carbs all together! Hope to see many current carnivores be as active and sharp as Dr. Berstein when we all hit age 89 and older! That also goes to show that what i call early retirement isn’t for carnivores! We are healthier and sharp at older ages, so the retirement age could move to a much later age. ☺️👍🏻 I am good with that! Keeps people busy, physically active, alert, and engaged! Why not work longer! Now that we see it’s plant toxins and processed plants foods that are causing early aging with humans, forcing early retirement, a new retirement age needs to be set for carnivores! If mentally sharp and physically capable to work, and choose to, why not keep working. ☺️👍🏻 That’s my plan. I am too much of a busy body. Age 47 and I may work to 90 too, or later, who knows.

Only flaw in this interview, is his view on lab grown meat, being a good thing.

[@micaonyx5301]

I try to tell people their "good doctors" might be using them as an ATM machine. An acquaintance of mine had to be hospitalized because his sugar dropped to 30. When he was released he said the doctor told him to keep his sugar levels around 140. I told him that was keeping him in the diabetic range and it should be more around 75-80. Unfortunately we know which advice he's going to follow. Over ten years ago I asked my doctor if sugar causes diabetes and he said no and gave me this long explanation why it didn't. I listened politely and fired him after almost 30 years because I realized he was very incompetent. He rode that believe to the grave because he died about 8 years ago at 61 from uncontrolled diabetes 😫 I have several family members and friends who are diabetic and the anmount of sugar and carbs they eat is scary. I try to convince them that all the sugar they keep eating is making a bad problem worse and they tell me they have to eat that way to keep up their sugar. I try to tell them eating healthy food will keep up their sugar also, but sadly they listen to their doctors who is giving them permission to eat all the tasty sugary food they want. The sad and crazy part is they keep wondering why they feel so awful and have no energy 😢 thanks for having this wonderful doctor on your podcast I totally enjoyed it.
