- What increases risk of a heart attack? What's the biggest risk factor for heart attack?
No one wants to have a heart attack therefore we should all know what the largest risks factors for heart attack are, and why your doctor often doesn't speak of them. This extended presentation of the How & Why of heart disease will help you understand your risk factors for having a heart attack and why doctors are so confused about this...

Ken D Berry, MD, is a Family Physician and has been practicing Family Medicine in Tennessee for over 20 years, having seen over 25,000 patients in his career so far.
Consult your doctor. Don't use this video as medical advice.
This video is a shining example of why Dr Berry has gone from 12,000 subscribers to over 2 million in just a couple of years. Keep up the great work sir.
I love all MD doctors that go holistic because they have the brain that thinks outside the box - proof is in the pudding so to speak - dr mercola is another example - there are many more
Before carnivore I was one of those people disgusted by saturated fat. Only lean meat for me. In my 50’s I started to feel lousy all the time even though I exercised regularly as well as ate a low fat “balanced” diet. Dr . Berry convinced me to try carnivore.
My almost immediate positive results made my brain look at saturated fat as medicine. All that “grease” in my pan goes directly into me. I can eat a spoonful of bacon fat, tallow, or ghee with a smile. My family is grossed out by this. I now look at vegetables and greens as poison.
I just stick with healthy, home grown organic meat and a few green leafy veggies and an occasional few blue berries. I also make my own ghee from organic whole butter.
Ignorance and misinformation from the medical fraternity and big pharma will kill you. Simply use your body, keep active, exercise to shock your physiology every day and eat wisely. You'll be fine. If you can't or won't, you won't be. Health is actually very simple.
Agree
I’m 70 and I have been on Keto for 4 years. I hope to live to see the day when doctors are willing to combat the health crisis happening before our eyes.
i just turned 69 and have been on keto for 4 years also. When I retired I was up to 185 pounds @ 5'7". Way to fat and I felt like crap all the time. I never had a problem with TTD or any other health issues, but I'am sure they were on the agenda in my future. I 'am now down to 140 and feel great. I alternate between weights and calisthenics one day and biking, running or kayaking the next. I do this for 6 days and take three days off. I have always been very athletic, but towards the end of my career I became a slug and did nothing. Keto has changed my way of life.
It _would_ be nice. I'm 65. But I think the main thing is to be thankful for the content being freely given on the internet so that we can make informed decisions.
62 and they never will. The 'health system' is controlled by the pharms and all about profits over all else. Gov wants people dependent, sickly and weak. Easier to contol. The evidence is right there. Want to live a short life?? Go to the doctors (drug pushers).
A man is only allotted 80 years! Don't hold your breath 😂
@@TheMidnightModder Ah yes, the 3 score (20 for anyone who doesn't know this) years and 10.
This man is truly a national treasure and is probably saved more lives than anyone we can imagine I have great respect for this man as a doctor and as a fellow human being... He didn't sell out like all the rest he stayed true to his integrity and I have great respect and love for this man
🙏
Thanksgiving
He's probably saved more lives than Fauxi eliminated..... sorry for politics, but seemed like a legit time to add....
I agree ❤
Yes and Dr. Berry isn't out to take all our $ as his products give us a discount and besides all these great videos, on Monday nights he has Q & A and you can join his community for as low as $4.99/month.
Thank you Dr. Berry. He Really does care about our health
My doctor told me I should eat 10 servings of fruit and veg each day as well as lots of legumes, to combat pre diabetes. I just smiled and left and immediately started LCHF and switched on to Dr Berry
My doc had put me on 3 high BP medicine and insulin. I was 355 lbs. I went on keto stopped all medication and insulin. Reversed my BP and diabetes. Now I am down to 281 still ways to go on the weight but I am on the right track.
You stick with it Ken, I am a large man fighting similar battles. God speed my friend.
Good for you..keep up the good work
😊🙏👍👍👍
FANTASTIC
IT'S A RIDE, KEEP GETTING ON THE WAGON, NO MATTER WHAT GETS IN THE WAY
Wonderful! So inspirational!! Keep it going. You’ll help yourself and others as they are inspired by you.
The older I've gotten, the less impressed I've gotten with the average M.D. I've gotten more skeptical after covid. I'm hearing you speak out the same skepticism. I appreciate these videos, and I appreciate your honesty. It's unfortunate more doctors aren't like you.
Also sceptical with vets too….
I totally agree! And I was a nurse in the hospital for 44 years. Stay far away!
@@joycewright5386yikes
I work in healthcare and agree. I personally won't even go to the doctors unless it's critical. Just take care of your body.
I have never met my doctor.
67 and have been ketovore almost 2 years! A1C 4.8 also had a calcium heart test and it was 0! I will continue this the rest of my living days. 2 brothers died very young of heart disease. Love your info!
Sorry for your loss of two younger brothers. My slightly older brother is in a mess with T2D , resulting in stroke and amputation . Despite my attempts to help him, I feel and am powerless
@@barbaramackinder3366 I know how you feel. My brother in law had a stroke . He’s T2D but wouldn’t give up his “healthy” carbs. His wife was a nurse so they think they know all.
Did you get your calcium score checked before you changed your diet to ketovore ?
@@mikej1532 no after.
@@mikej1532 The CAC is a "historic" score. I've just had one done and mine is also zero at 65 years. I've only been low carb for the last year. My dad died in 1977 of a heart attack at 54 with no risk factors (no drinking, smoking, overweight and it was before the low fat diet came in) so I'm assuming that I didn't inherit his genes in this area.
Had a heart attack. Lived now keto . Went from 13.8 to 7 A1c in 10 months. Pray that I will be below 5.6 at the year mark
Good work. Keep it up.
It took me 2.5 years to get my A1C from 10.1 to 5.6, last time 5.2. Stay the course & don't give up
Good fortune to you.
Try carnivore
Wonderful!
I started on Keto 4 years ago and had some decent results (I am 73). About 6 months ago i started shifting to Carnivore (+intermittent fasting) AND have am seeing amazing results. My weight is down to where it was when I was in my early 20's. I am looking forward to seeing how my first blood test results, since starting Carnivore look. I still have a way to go, but I feel great and with about 20 more pounds shed, I look significantly slimmer. Thank YOU Doctor Berry!!
A few weeks ago I lost my battle with my Fiancee trying to help her kick her sugar (and carb) addiction. She has two older sisters that died young suffering from Alzheimer's. She said that Arthritis and Alzheimers ran in her family. I said that it was NOT strictly her genetics that plague her family, it is that you all eat the same way. She tried but could not beat the sugar addiction. Eight weeks ago she had a seizure and was rushed to the hospital. After about 11 days of testing she was diagnosed with rapid onset Alzheimer's that had likely been progressing (destroying her brain) for some time. She was pre diabetic, but the doctors had ignored that. Overnight, she went from seemingly healthy to living in a nursing home, progressively slipping downhill. I have heard Alzheimer's referred to as type 3 diabetes? And I would add, a fate worse than death. All I can do now is try to make sure that she gets the best care available; visit her often; but honestly all they are doing is warehousing her (and the others similarly stricken). I thought that we could have had another 20 active years together; now all that is lost and I bet all because of a terribly in appropriate diet.
Sorry for you and her, it’s so hard!❤
the best care is real whole foods.
which is what I would bring in to any of my hospital patients. fresh. organic. daily.
the staff and other patrons in the wards .. are in disbelief ... then also baffled how we are also leaving the earliest.
type 3 diabetes I think is a very appropriate way to consider it (alzheimer’s).
even those patients can have a better life when eliminating the sugars, seed oils .. flour products.
sunshine and healthy fats are necessary for a quicker recovery, which is nearly impossible to source from a hospital pick n choose menu system, so I carry avocados on me in a knapsack.
videos like this can help pave the way to a better market.
remember the bulk of cravings are hormonal + microbial .. which happens. with every bite.
invest in great food choices.
def the best and cheapest way to feel fantastic.
Sorry to hear what happened Tony. Also the sad thing is what they feed people in nursing homes will accelerate their decline
@Tony I'm so glad that you are having success with IF and carnivore. I am really sad that you are having to deal with your loved one in her condition. But you being the example to others around you or even when you visit your fiancee. Your energy alone will have people asking you questions. Be the light to others, I know you are inspiring for me. God Bless you Sir.😊
Sincere Condolences,
Once they get you into these Care home facilities, the battle Is lost. Unless you have Legal control over their Health and Diet.
A friend of mine got diabetews 15 years ago. I told him to do what you abd Dr Westman indicate. He ignored me. He started having really bad symptoms last year and in April of this year,died of a heart attack in bed.
I've done keto for 16 years cause I'm determined not to get diabetes.
I am 70 and in great health; no issues, have been Keto-Carnivore for almost 5 years but I shifted over to Carnivore in the past 1 1/2 years because I don’t do well with vegetables. My hair grows like crazy,I don’t need lotion anymore as my skin is soft and firm! No cracks on the bottom of my feet either. I have to clip my nails every week because they grow SO fast! My hair is thicker and extremely curly which it never was when I was young and my eyebrows get dark again. So when I do cheat I pay BIG TIME!! Love it
What do you mean pay big time
I think they mean that they have bad health results. And it does reverse the positive things I’ve been doing. I’ve heard people that get in ketosis and then they cheat it messes everything up. I think that’s what that person meant.
My dog’s vet always calls to check how she’s doing after a visit. My own doctor is like a car dealership. Make an appointment online and hopefully we can see you in a month!
Middle aged woman goes to doctor and says she's having heart problems. Doctor tells her it's just stress and suggests it's all in her head, gives her a pat on the shoulder and says she needs a pap smear and mammogram. She comes back in a few weeks, saying her chest pain is really bad and he sends her for a colonoscopy. Finally, she's brought to ER in ambulance, but it's too late. This is why I avoid doctors as much as possible. If you're a female they don't take you seriously, talk down to you and treat you like you're just trying to get drugs.
The same thing happened to my mom 30 years ago. Kept going in with complaints of chest pain and told it was anxiety. Died a few weeks later of a massive heart attack.
Sounds like malpractice to me!
I have had total body fibromyalgia for nearly 43 years. I can't tell you the number of Dr.s that told me I was just having mental problems even when I couldn't walk and hospitalized for it. All somatic they think
I agree with your stance on doctors, it's not a gender issue though. Male or female, if they can't diagnose something easily & prescribe something for it, they just go to the 'all in your head' script....
@@dragonflies0212 I'm so sorry to hear that.
Right on, Ken.
To avoid a heart attack DO NOT turn to the Mayo Clinic for either nutritional advice or diagnosis. Trust me on this.
ha!
really almost everything....
i actually read their website so that I know to do just the exact opposite.
Indeed! My husband was treated for neuro-endocrine tumors at Mayo & there was not 1 doctor there who mentioned nutrition as the way forward 😮
Mayo Clinic consists of FRAUDSTERS. They are pure evil, just like the rest of THEM.
Because the Mayo Clinic is part of the "system"
@@shellykeyes8389 why would they? Did they solve his acute problems/issues?
My husband just passed away from a heart attack on Oct 3, right in front of me.
It was unexpected, but then not.
He wanted to become a patient of Dr. Barry's (he seemed to think that was possible); but of course, God numbers our days.
Besides, there is plenty of info from Dr. Barry right here on youtube to put in to practice.
I haven't listened to this video yet, but I definitely will.
Since Oct 3, I've gotten more serious about my diet, etc, and have already dropped weight and will continue to gain more health.
While in the hospital ER, my 26 yr old son tearfully pleaded with me to change course and not leave him the way his dad did.
I promised; and that is a promise I will keep.
God bless everyone here with health and hopeful joy for a peaceful hereafter.
I'm very sorry for your loss
@@brendad3570 Thank you very much, Brenda, that's very kind of you. 💐
I also am very sorry 😞 for your loss sweetheart!❤
@@karencarbone2603 I really do appreciate you taking a few minutes to let me know that, Karen. It really helps a lot. The loneliness is hitting me these last few days, though I'm not alone. 💗
Please accept my condolences for your loss.
I am in conversations with my doctor around these issues right now. This is probably the most important video I have ever watched. I knew weight and diabetes were the top reasons for heart issues so while waiting for my follow up blood work I have lost 30 pounds and been exercising regularly as well as eating keto. I still need to lose 20 more pounds.
After watching Dr. Berry for several years, and following his advice I went from being diagnosed with Type II diabetes to completely normal (A1C, Triglycerides) and dropped 23% of my body weight. This took me about 18 months. My motto is now "Carbs are Killers!". Thank you Dr. Berry!
Pretty poisons.
YEAH YOU!!! I BET IF YOU HAD A TAIL ...IT WOULD BE PLUM WUG OFF!!! When I get my act together, I will share some pretty unbelievable astonishing stuff here. I had a violent RENDERING OF FAT WITHIN DAYS OF EATING A POUND OF MEAT OUT OF NOWHERE!!! EVERYTHING FROM EVERY PART OF MY BODY'S FAT CELLS JUST WENT PUFF! HAD THERE BEEN AN OPEN FLAME, I might have given off light like a tallow candel!!!
STUNNINGLY BRILLANT DR. BERRY!!! Best said and most detailed. You are a most articulate wise, wise man. Whst is more...even though your advise goes across the world and back again like waves or reasoning, I truly felt you REALLY, CARE ABOUT HELPING EVERYONE BE THEIR BEST AND HEALTHEST SELF.
YOU RIGHT ON NAILED and called out BIG PHARMA AND BIG FOOD...and you did not leave out BIG INSURANCE either. BRAVO!!!
That's fantastic. I can rejoice with you because I've done the same thing (20% weight reduction after 1 year). I'd love to get a T-shirt printed. I'm 65 so grew up in the low fat era. You only have to look at old school photos to see that the majority of children were not overweight, let alone obese.
They truly are killers..I agree
Excellent video! Went Carnivore at age 63 in April 2022 at 5'9" 330 LBS and A1c of 8.5. Last week A1c is now 5.7 and have dropped 70 lbs. Was disappointed with my health care provided after making an appointment to have my A1c checked after a 3 month period only to be told after waiting for 30 minutes in the office the test could be done as it was not ordered by my doctor...so I left ordered my own at home A1c test kit. Expressed my disappointment during my last physical...my doctor is now fully on board with helping me achieve my health goal of normalizing my weight and reversing my diabetes. My latest cholesterol:243, HDL:35, Triglycerides: 120, LDL:184. My doctor would like to have me take a statin which I have refused. However I told him if he can provide me with a solid independent scientific study (not funded by big pharma) which increases life span and/or quality of life I may reconsider...
Hope you’re still on the road to good health!
Note your
Triglyceride:HDL ratio
=3.42
As you progress, it will improve.
Testing cholesterol during weight loss will initially show elevation because the liver is cleaning house.
Better to wait until your weight stabilizes and inflammation is low.
Ideal Triglyceride:HDL ratio = 1.0 or lower 🇺🇸
(1.8 elsewhere due to different units of measure)
This is a good marker for insulin sensitivity.
Also, Hypothyroidism often will raise cholesterol markers, if you have concern you may have thyroid disease, do not only get TSH (a pituitary marker) one needs the whole panel, including Free T3 which needs to be in upper quartile of lab reference range.
Avoid statins completely.
Good process so far, I wish you continued success.
Thank you for doing this type of video. Our sick care system wants us on meds FOR LIFE. We have to take it in our own hands. You are helping soo much.
I was stuck in this cycle for more than 15 years. Keto for almost 4. I was a type 2 the whole time but they would never check my A1C. 4 years free and I now have a doc that will check whatever I ask pretty much! Thanks Dr. Berry. I found you early in my journey! I’m In Nashville.
Wish I could find a doctor like yours in Knoxville. I just don't bother unless it's something like an injury.
@@hamstersniffer I understand. It’s so hard. I think once I started changing my diet and they saw a big difference, they liked what I was doing. So now when I come in and ask for things they can see I’m doing something right. It’s sad it takes that though.
I wish there was a Doctor like Doctor Berry in the Johnson City area. You would think Johnson City with a University Medical School there would be producing more Free thinking Doctors. I think BIG Pharma has a lot of (influence) on what is taught in all of the Medical Schools. A Very good Lab test ( BOSTON HEART PANEL), which I have never heard of any doctor in this area ordering is VERY important. I drive to Asheville to get this type of preventive care. My Insurance DOES cover this test, but I do pay for my office visit. I think the reason that I pay for my office visit is because Insurance Companies do NOT want to pay for a FREE (non-propaganda) thinking Doctor who has a brain that does not require following a government chart. These Free thinking doctors are constantly studying, and keep up on the latest research. They do NOT, or buy into BIG Pharma.
By the time your glucose is noticably elevated , the insulin resistance has done decades of damage. You need to test insulin levels to identify this insulin resistance asap. A1c is not a good way test when it obviously doesn't indicate the hyperinsulinemia/ insulin resistance that drives so many conditions, including diabetes.
@@hamstersniffer Keep a sniffin !
Just freaking WOW...finally a doctor who is not afraid to speak the truth. I had the heart attack, was "following all the recommendations", walking 3 miles daily...and still had the heart attack. What the other doctors kept saying was"your sugars are too high"...but none gave me the answers on how to ACTUALLY lower the sugars...FINALLY FINALLY Dr Berry has the balls (if you will) to speak the real truth on HOW to actually get things moving in the righ direction. I can't say thank you enough. I have been on carnivore for 2.5 months now and just got my blood work done and significent changes for the good. This for me is now a life long mission. I only regret not finding you sooner. In just 2 months my A1C has gone from 13.1 to 9.1...4 points in just 2 months. Just wow and I join the private thing as well. Looking forward to becoming healthy for the first time in a long time. Crying tears of JOY thank you so much Dr. Berry, you are so appreciated.
So right...i wish i lived near you doc..id want to see you at your clinic..im too far away from.camden ,temnessee ..thanks so much for changing /saving my life ,literally ..dr eric berg has also ..all docs ..should be like ya'll but they are either ignorant or just following big pharma lies to gain $$ i feel so betrayed by my past doc. I thought i highly trusted ..if i kept following their advice...by going on statins ,baby aspirin and neglecting years...(knowing)my family medical history to refer me to earlier cac score ..or to even recommend me a k-2mk7 mk4 supplement ..years ago whilst i was taking vitamin d to make sure my calcium was transferred properly to my bones and teeth rather than arteries...i feel if kept listening to them ..id seriously be 6 feet under by now 😫
Dr Berry, I have just found this video....and you just blew me away when you talked about LDL. It has been a HUGE part of every encounter that I have with any doctor. I am a 71 yr old female...have had high cholesterol my entire life as had my mom (over 300 and lived to age 95 with no heart issues) and all 4 of my brothers...dad did not. Not one dr has ever tested my a1c as glucose is always normal. But oh the fear mongering over my cholesterol and my LDL. HDL is 70+ but that is ignored. Anyway, I was sent to a cardiologist and that is THE FIRST thing brought up.... he was rather angry at me b/c I said I was not going to take any darn statins...and he made a snarky remark that too many people make "bad decisions" but when he has to "crack open" someone's chest b/c they had a stroke or heart attack, then they do whatever he tells them...he then says, "I'm not trying to scare you" to which I said, " I do not scare easily". Thank you for speaking to this...I personally believe statins do more harm than good....ever think about moving to PA? 😁
One in five heart attacks occurs in people under age 40. Heart attacks in younger people used to be unheard of.
“Safe and effective” it’s only going to get worse.
The jab
It's going to be brutal and there is no cure
Also, our industrial food manufacturers have changed the ingredients. The people 45 and younger eat more fake food and garbage then us older generations did. When I was growing up, we always ate dinner at the table, together, no phones, no TV, no computers. We took our time and had conversations about life while eating meat, or chicken, fish with veg and a starch. All of this was cooked from scratch with lard, bacon fat or butter. My grannie lived to 103. My parents, 83 and 85, no meds and still very active. They still eat the way we did as a young family. This is the way to a long and healthy life.
@@ghostcircuitry
It's funny because it's true. Also sad because some people haven't figured it out yet. They trust the institutions that repeatedly lie. I think it's a level of insanity normalized by group think.
It is pretty obvious that we have to be our own doctor first. This seems to really piss off a lot of physicians. My daughter for a couple of years had unexplainable symptoms and just kept being told she had carpal tunnel. She came across a video about MS and asked her daughter to test her and sure enough She has MS 😢. The doctor never apologized of course🤷🏻♀️ I feel sorry for all the people who do not use the Internet to find real life people going through the same things there and finding some solutions. We are afraid to bring it up to the doctor for fear of pissing them off. It’s a very sad sad situation
Great review and doctors need to get on board for a healthy lifestyle. They need to help patients eat better and get rid of toxic “pharmaceuticals “! It is a travesty that our healthcare system is so poor! I graduated from medical school in 1981 and have had a massive amount of good medical education since I retired from primary care at the end of 2019! I wish I could get some do over time with my former patients.
Thank you for your service Ron and much appreciated, it's obvious we got lied to about diet and health by those we have trusted to look out for us. Sadly big pharma mainly wants to keep us sick, hurting and on pills.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This is 10 months later,😁😁😁 it really Works!!!!!!! I'm now almost 79.
The longer the intervals of watching your videos increases the bad eating habits return in me. I definitely find letting your videos in my head, the better it is for my health. Thank you Doc !
I find daily videos of him or Westman, Chaffee, Baker, LCDU, etc. help me stay on track.
Mid 60s ketovore woman (18 months on keto) - i have done conventional diets almost my whole life mid teens onwards. Not one worked longterm, although i had plenty of short term successes. I went keto, just to see how it would be, i thought it was a ‘faddy’ diet but had nothing to lose. I had no intention of sticking to it longterm ( many pundits say its not a longterm thing as it is too restrictive). I did a popular diet whose strapline was ‘Nothing tastes as good as slim feels’ but continuing to eat ‘healthy grains’ and starchy foods although i liked the image in the mirror but i didnt feel any different ( well i did a bit, i didnt get quite as hot when going for a walk on a hot day). I have been lucky enough not to have any health issues whatever my weight. But i can now say Living Keto is the best thing i have ever done, walking round supermarkets and a good song is played,i literally have to stop myself dancing in the aisles in case people think i’m a crazy old woman 🤪🤣
I don't think we need to plan on having a heart attack and just be thankful we can delay it. It's very possible to never have a heart attack. I've been carnivore for 3 years and celebrate my 80th birthday next month. I feel great and plan to be around and in good health for quite a few more years. I have never had a heart attack and don't expect to. 😊
😊👍🙏
I expect to see you posting for your 100th birthday in 20 long years. ❤
You are spot n on what my visit to my doctor was like yesterday! Type2 DB with blood pressure creeping up. Tried low carb but kept falling off the wagon. Started Keto 10 month ago and then Carnivore 6 month ago. HBa1c is 4.9 (108). Cholesterol had gone up but low trigclicerdes. LDL had increased but so had HDL. I was really happy with the results. She focussed on the LDL and started to suggest a statin and I cut her off and said ‘don’t even go there’. I told her I was thrilled to finally reverse my diabetes. I have lost 20kg and from having my own Blood pressure monitor I know my blood pressure is perfect, she didn’t even take my blood pressure. Nor did she weigh me like she used to. She just focussed on the LDL and then ask if I was constipated on the Carnivore diet and said there is a high risk of bowel cancer! I told her my stomach and bowels had never been better as I had suffered from IBS for years but that has all gone. I am either going to find another doctor or stick with this one just to show her she’s wrong. I also told her I have done a heap of research and probably have way more time than she has to read the latest research. She’d probably like to drop me as a patient! Lol. My lipid results are the same as a ripped athletes that Dr PaulMason in a LowCardDownUnder video used as an example where an insurance company refused this guy insurance as his cholesterol was too high. Dr Mason showed they were actually excellent. Oh and my triglycerides were actually lower than this guys too.
Send her a link to Carnivore down under or another carnivore convention with doctors speaking her language.
Hell ya! I’m so happy for you with all the improvements in your health… I bet you are feeling fantastic! 💪🏼 keep it up, girlie!!!
Sounds like my doctor. I can't afford to keep trying out new PCPs to find one who knows as much about nutrition, statins, etc. as I do, thanks to Drs Berry, Cywess, Paul Mason, Eric Westman, and Sten Ekberg.
I learned their are two main types of LDL. SMALL LDLs & large LDLS. The small LDL cause the heart attacks & strokes. I learned I had the large LDL's as a Keto fan for many years. Before Keto I had 5 coronary stents and 2 strokes. Since Keto not one & lost nearly 70 lbs! And 74 years young! Dr. Berry is terrific he led me to have a test for muscle spasms which resulted in a diagnosis of small artery disease ( I'm taking vit D3 & K2 mk7 for a possible healing & prayer. God bless you!
@@allenlittle7708 Allen, that is fantastic news… AND I’m so thankful that you took Dr. B’s advice and had the testing done! I too, am glad you found keto years ago!
Started doing my own homework after my heart attack this led me to you my man thank's.
At 74 just had quadruple bypass surgery, this all would have been good to know 60 years ago…
It's never to late to get healthy.
Carnivore now
Best of luck with your recovery. I had triple bypass 5 years ago. Then went keto and haven't looked back.
@@robinbeers6689
Well, yes, it can get to be too late.
@@SandyCheeks63564 Well, maybe on your deathbed it is too late but 74 is still a spring chicken!
I know what you mean though about, "I wish I knew then what I know now." I had epilepsy for 35 years. I wish I could have those years back now.
I have improvements in these markers,quickly after I was told I was pre-diabetic. And when my Dr. discovered my improvements she said “What did you do?”. I said well the simple answer is I stopped feeding my sugar, Sugar. She quit talking with me.
Did you call your doctor “Sugar?” please tell me you didn’t call a medical professional “Sugar.”
Thank you Dr. Berry! I'm 75. I've been on keto/low carb and have lost 23 pounds in three months. I stopped taking pravastatin before seeing the Dr. Muscles and joints feel so much better. Fasting glucose from 102>78. HbA1c is 5.7 (not tested before). Triglycerides 55, HDL 78, total cholesterol calculated 192. All my doc wanted to talk about was getting back on "maybe" a different statin and that my ketones were 2+ and had a RED FLAG on the lab report. I refused a new statin. Seeing a doc in southern Arizona when on Medicare is a challenge. You get 15 minutes and boilerplate. I've had 6 docs in twelve years and they are all brainwashed to what lowers their liability. In March I will ask for more tests and see what happens with the docs cooperation.
“Pre-Diabetes” is a pretty good indication that someone already has insulin resistance.
Since the “healthy range” is 70-100, if your blood sugar is floating to the top of that range you should ALWAYS do an A1C! Not wait til you are 20 point above that range! I can remember a doctor telling me “your fine, just pre diabetic.” I was already insulin resistant. That’s the real disease, diabetes is just the symptom.
I STARTED THE CARNIVORE DIET.
Im two days in and I feel amazing. I had never had a day in my life where I had zero sugars. Now I have 2. Im excited to get to my first week. I believe i will make it 5 more days and then I should lose some weight. I feel different not eating oreos, drinking soda, milk, juice. No burger king. Its awesome. First day was hard but my 2nd day (today) is smooth sailing because of zero cravings. THANK YOU 🙏 DR Berry for helping people. I will report back after a week to share the results.
True. My dad found out he had type 2 diabetes AFTER he had a heart attack. He was walking around with diabetes for who knows how long. He always refused to go to the doctor for a checkup.
Go get checked people! If your doctor sucks, request a different one.
And THAT, friends, is the absolute truth of the matter! Thank you, Dr. Berry!
I watch all of Doctor Berry's CZcams videos, and he makes a lot of them. including his Monday night live chat question and answer hour. But this particular video about heart attack risk, it is one of the finest CZcams video he has ever made. Because this pie chart presentation is so clear, and Dr Berry speaks so patiently and respectfully. I am sharing this video with my managers at work. The managers like to have meetings where they provide 'complimentary' snacks, such as cake, cookies, potato chips, orange juice, even ice cream and popsicles. When I ask maybe they could change the snacks to things like boiled eggs, carrots and celery, the answer I got back is eggs smell bad, and if they are not giving cake, they might try giving fruit.
No one wants carrots and celery. Tell them to try offering a big plate of bacon and cheese!
Yes, this is one of his best. I think the pie chart of all risks is a great perspective on what should be a person's priorities for health. The common mistake most people make is to pick on some minor factor of risk (example: cholesterol), while ignoring the massive risks that are "inconvenient" because its not what your average doctor will help you with.
The massive risk is HYPERINSULINEMIA, which on the pie chart shows as obesity and metabolic syndrome and hypertension and diabetes. Aside from smoking, hyperinsulinemia is the elephant in the room. But most people do not get a fasting insulin test, and if they do, their doctor probably does not appreciate what is the optimal range and what are the danger levels.
@@blahblah6725 Seeing 'Metabolic Syndrome' on my paper work years ago is what started me down the rabbit hole. No mention from my doc about it or what it is... and so I investigated it myself. The rest is history.
I am a male almost 78 years old. I have watched thousands of CZcams and other videos regarding Health, this is the best and most life saving video that I have ever seen since the invention of the Internet and, I know I am an old dude, but I still run my own retail video production business, so I am pretty good at getting around on the computer I have listened to your audiobook lies. My doctor told me three times keep, up the great work. 42 minutes and 23 seconds that's all it took for Dr. Barry to explain why the medical industry is wasting 75% of their time and money on little things and don't see the 500-pound Gorilla in the room.
Inflammation is at the root cause of some people's inactivity. It was painful just to walk up my stairs, and I didn't have the stamina. Just a month into a carnivore diet and all the pain is gone. I literally have too much energy to lay around now. I'm always up doing something in the garage or out in the yard. It's difficult to sit around when you feel good.
I really need to thank you for helping me with starting a Keto diet. In 6 months I have dropped my A1C from 6.3 to 5.7 in just 6 months by just doing what you said! It was like handing me the keys to weight loss. From 233 to 200 plus Blood pressure is down. I feel better. All staying away from carbs... Thank you! This is just the beginning I will try now to get my BMI to below 24 from the now 28...but now I know how...
Go carnivore or ketovore…
@@bettywhill Thanks I am headed in that direction. Now if I get a little hungry it's steak and eggs...love it.
@@guthrie1960 have you tried to eat a little bit of butter when you are hungry? Butter doesn’t spike insulin or glucose.
@@bettywhill I use ghee, but that's potato potahto...

This was awesome. I am proud to say that my doctor smiles and says I am non-compliant with regard to statins. Do we love this guy or what!!!
I've told my doctor that I'm not just digging my heels in with regards to not taking a statin but that I have done my own research so I am making an informed decision. I just told my GP that I understand she has to make the suggestion. I've still got to do the same with my cardiologist. I've just had a CAC of zero and at 65 I'm expecting the "take a statin as a prevention". No thanks. I am tempted to ask these questions: who taught you/where did you get your information about statins (probably pharma reps or pharma literature), who paid for the research of the statins (pharma), are you getting any kickback for prescribing (I strongly suspect that he is).
I told my GP the other day that statins have been shown to worsen diabetes and she said oh there is new research coming out that it helps with diabetes. She didn't even know about the different LDL particle sizes. I had the get the test name from the pathologist and she then did some research about it, so she has learned something. Hopefully she will be able to put it to good use.
Hell ya we love Dr. Berry!!! My granddaughters come running when they hear Dr. B talking and are yelling “Mimi, is that Dr. Berry? Is Nurse Neisha there too?”, all of that before they actually get to me 😂 we love us some Dr.B & Neisha at our house! ❤ literally LIFE SAVERS ❤
Julie, you need to fire this MD. You do not want an MD who will put those code words on your medical record, "non compliant". Doing so can lead to all sorts of trouble with your insurance company.
My grandmother always said to refuse statins if they were ever recommended, she said her friends went down hill fast after being placed on those. She lived to be 92.
@@ivermec-tin666 i believe you are right. I looked at notes and it says I refused Covid shot and turned down statins. So I did ask to change MD and did but note is still in chart.
This is what we need more of.... straightforward, basic, easy to digest, factual information.
I was a nurse for 38 years as of 2009. I so much agree with you. It's so refreshing to hear a common sense presentation. I'm also on the carnivore diet 2 years, now at 71 y.o. and feel fantastic. Building a new race car, weld fabricate and go to the dragstrip on weekends. TRANKS for all you do.
he is Trelcome!
Hahahaha@@JamesPlatt88
It's incredible how much sense you make. We don't need to be rocket scientists to see the logic behind your words, apart from following your research links. I have followed your advice, in general, for quite some time, and in all honesty, I'd have to say my health has gained a lot since then. Kudos to you, doctor! Wouldn't be surprised if it adds at least 10 years to my life, and I'm 64 now. I'll let you know when I pass 90 😁
I love the way you practice medicine. Read your book (more than once) when it came out. I am less ignorant and less uninformed than I was. Thanks. Please never stop making videos - they help inspire me to make lifestyle changes I find difficult. More than anything I love your no BS approach.
Heart attack ,, it hurts.,, Really hurts. Anything you can do to avoid this do it. Why did i have a heart attack wear and tear , bad food choices. Im new to your channel and im really enjoying the facts and the way they are presented.
Thank you so much for caring enough to take this time to explain this!
Currently working on recovering from type 2 primarily using diet and occasional fasting with restricted eating window. I always find your stuff to be very informative and supportive of my current path. I have steadfastly refused any scrips. Thank you so much for your videos.
One of the BEST videos you've put out, Dr. Berry. Thank you! You're changing lives. 🥂✌🏻💙
Fantastic! I need to rewatch this with a notebook in hand. Such great info, easily laid out for us average Joe's and Janes.
How to not die of a heart attack:
Step 1: Don’t take any experimental inoculations….
Especially ones that cause myocarditis
AMEN!!!!
Exactly. Because before 2020 people under 30 didn't die of heart attacks.
Truth
@@spritelybird unless they were morbidly obese or on drugs or something
I really appreciate your reliable delivery of sound common sense information Dr. Berry!
Thank you Dr. Berry , as usual great information. Wish we had more conscientious people in the medical profession!
And in the government. The AHA
ADA
FDA
etc are all deceitful and greedy.
Thank you, Dr Berry! I have a physical this coming week and I'm going to bring notes from this video. And a screenshot of the pie chart.
Excellent, informative video! Thank you, Dr Berry.
This is a great informative video!!! One of the best to make everyone aware and make changes in their lives .. Thank you so much
This is your absolute BEST video to learn from and share with others. Thank you, Dr. Berry!
One of my very favorite videos from you Dr. Berry. Watching this is eye-popping, brain-changing information. Thank you!
I've looked up many asistance from specialist doctors on CZcams but keep coming back here. There's humility and down to earth advise here. Thanks Dr.Berry.
*Thank you for the new video of preventing the risks of heart attacks, Dr.Berry!* ;D
I'm amazed of how accurate Dr Berry is. Everything he says is correct. He explains the Dr/ Patient relationship so accurately...
👍
Beautifully presented, logical, clear and concise. Well done Dr Berry!
Thank you so much for doing this video! Heart disease runs high in my family, you may have saved my life. I have a appointment with cardiologist in January. Thank you..
Thank you Dr Berry for taking the time to make this video and explain, precisely and in verbage easily understood, what tests are needed.
God bless you Dr Berry and your family. Thank you for your advice and sharing your research on keto!
This video is fantastic. Simple and to the point. very helpful before going to see your doctor! thank you so very much for being a HONEST Doctor!
Another thoughtful and important video! Thanks!
Really like this breakdown of causes of Heart attack causes. Nicely puts things in perspective. Excellent walk through by category. Thank you!
The doctor shared very specifically about the actual heart care that everyone needs and how well it should be done. That is, we need to pay attention to eating, resting, and exercising properly, regularly, will help yourself have a good cardiovascular system.
Well done Dr Berry ❤ so great to hear the real reason for heart attacks.
Dr. Berry you are such a blessing. Keep up good work, you truly care for us and that is what good doctor should be doing. Your commitment is greatly appreciated.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I love these longer videos!
Love listening to Dr. Berry talk about different subjects.
Such a great and straightforward way to teach this to people who don't know better.
Absolutely the BEST content ever!!! Thank you, Dr. Berry, for teaching us how to work with our doctors for optimal health!!!
You should ffxyxtfn n affirm yu your 😊 you on
Rrrrrrrr
I am so thankful for Dr. Berry's recommendations. Not just about what labs to get, but with regards to ALL! Fanx doc.
And also ...thx to peeps like Dr. Berry: I have become a highly educated person on these issues. Not to mention my own health.
Hallelujah finally a doctor that is truly informed and care for the patients
I go to the cardio each year for prevention due to family history. Last I went was October 2021. Tests done: "high" cholesterol (my normal 240 I've had my whole life, from BMi = 16 to BMI = 35), high triglycerides (a first in my 47 y at the time) and the most important high insulin (56 wwhen I should be up to 15; glucose 94).
Mild mitral regurgitation.
My doc: reduce sodium intake (despite me telling her I didn't eat salt for 47 y) and loose weight by eating veggies obviously. Keep the BP med and add statins.
I already did all of this and was gaining weight. Just started carnivore and next week I am going to do blood work on my own to see how it will go.
how did it go?
I remember when "Low Salt" was a "Feature" that justified a higher price! My simple mind thought how does a company justify a higher price for NOT adding something to their product which costs them money?
Great Video Dr Berry…One of your best!!
Thank you Dr Berry , great to have people like you , greetings from Spain!!
Stress needs to be on that chart!
Stress is probably the root of everything on that chart.
doesn’t everyone have stress? every president, governor, corporate manager,parent, every driver in heavy traffic late for an appointment, they’re not dropping from stress

Also, not getting enough sleep. Adults need -- NEED -- at least eight or nine hours of sleep every night.

Dr Berry, last week I suffered a heart attack. I did not have any of the risk factors, I'm a fit, 67 yo man. I fast every day. I follow a diet that is carnivore and a slight tinge of keto. I don't eat sugar. I am not diabetic. I am not obese. I way a lean 164 pounds. I'm a retired Army Officer and retired Registered Nurse. I train in my own gym. Functional fitness with a flavor of body building. Just 5 hours before my heart attack I was on a bike trail running my 3-mile phase of my workout. I'm blessed that it didn't happen then because I was the only person on that trail at that time of day. The chest pain hit at 11:30pm. I immediately recognized the symptoms and called 911 as I was swallowing my 325mg aspirin. By 1:15 am my diagonal coronary artery was stented that had bee 100% blocked. I was told it was an embolic occlusion. The Dr. told me a piece of plaque had broke free and "cut" the intimal lining of that coronary artery and caused it to bleed. I have been absolutely bewildered as to why and how a fit, healthy man, on no meds could have suffered this near death incident. I supplement to enhance my fitness and even included Vitamin K2. My abnormal labs were as follows. Troponin 35, glucose 111, BUN 21, HGB 12.5, HCT 36.7, TOTAL PROTIEN 5.7, ALBUMIN 3.5, AST 67, OSMO 298, HGB A1C 6.0, CHOLESTEROL 165, TRIGLYCERIDES 91, HDL 43, LDL 104, CHOLESTEROL / HDL RATIO 3.8.
NOW I am on Atorvostatin 40mg bedtime, brilinta 90mg am/pm, ASA 81MG QD, losartan 25mg daily, metoprolol 25mg daily. 2 years ago I did a calcium scoring test and the result was 41. Now they have also identified calcification in my LAD at 50%. Enlighten me as to WHAT WENT WRONG and where do I go from here. I recogn
ize that you cant give me medical advice. That being said, am I doomed to a statin now that they have started me on one?
Respectfully,
Kent Ryan
Carlisle Iowa
doomed to a statin?
do you have pre-diabetes (biggest risk in chart)? ( from A1C reading >5.7) Did you test HOMA-IR for insulin resistance or did they check inflammation markers? Good luck to you.
Well I don’t know you personally but you could do all the good stuff and maybe your genetics is prone towards heart disease. My mom had a stroke my grandfather had a heart attack so I am pretty sure I’m on that path as well. And I am not a diabetic yet I am a little overweight and my calcium score was 1000!
My triglycerides were 106 which is below 150 mark my cholesterol is 49 points above the 200 mark my LDL’s are 45 over 100 my HDL‘s are 83 which is over the 50 which is good and my non-HDL‘s are 36 over.
But the big problem is that I have probably 70 or 75% of my credit artery blocked. And the other one is like 50% blocked. And I’ve been told that I have a strong heart with a mild mitral valve regurgitation. I see myself on the path of a major stroke either without surgery or with surgery or after surgery. Stents are no stents!
So I am terrified to say the least. And of course my doctor has been talking about statins or Repatha.
I am taking a little bit of aspirin and I’m doing garlic niacin gonna start some cayenne and I’m gonna do lemon.
It’s not easy to convince your doctor to do some of the tests that he mentioned because they seem to have big egos and don’t like you suggesting things to them. My doctor is ordering a ton of tests but he still falling back on statins. He hasn’t mentioned one thing about pre-diabetes or insulin resistance which is definitely a problem and losing weight. I’m 50 pounds overweight.
Stuff for me to exercise because of all my bone and muscle pain even though I used to be a long distance runner. I used to run 3 to 6 to 12 miles a day. Not anymore. Now I’m just walking as much as I can.
I guess there’s no easy answer or explanation. The body is an amazing complicated thing. It seems the more I know about the body the less I know where the more I’m aware of how much I do not know. But watching videos like this is important and enlightening and educational. We just have to convince our doctors to listen to us more and be willing to do things differently than the standard pharmaceutical path
So very helpful Doc! Thank you!
Thank you for always being bold enough to say the truth!
TY Doc. Sad to say Doctors today are very busy, it is easer for them to prescribe a pill . Very few if any are like you. YOUR KETO diet has helped 100% i have no-more pre-diabetes

love you Dr B, thank you so much for your on-going efforts, be safe
So HAPPY for the link to the BBB&E SHIRT, bought 2 colors, blue and black!!!!
Thank You Dr. Berry!!! I've know most of this from sources like Dr.Peter Attia and others but you are spot on. Can't say enough how helpful your information is... Plain and simple put, you improve the quality and longevity of thousands and thousands of lives!!!
Pete attia has changed his opinion on mantly things including saturated fat and fasting. He now says it's proven to be a causal relationship between saturated fat and arterial plaque. Though technically not mediated through the actual cholesterol, but rather the specific protein carriers called ApoB (which usually correlates well with LDL, but not always). He says it's now proven that ApoB is the single best test for risk of atherosclerosis
Awesome job as always Doc.
Sharing this awesome informative vlog Dr. Berry. Really praying people will HEAR the Truth of what you are warning people about here. Thank you for truly caring 🙏🙏🙏
👍🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thanks a lot Dr. Berry, for these info
When I asked my doctor for an LDL Lipoprotein analysis test, he almost had a heart attack, and then looked at me a complete shock and disbelief. Then he kicked me out of his office.
Thank you, Dr. Berry. I was told to fill RX for cholesterol lowering statins meds. After great blood work my entire life ,
physician focused on cholesterol numbers.. As I took med for about 4 months, I could feel my healthy well-being diminishing. I researched side effects of stations. Once medicine eliminated my over all health returned. I felt horrible during RX. Lesson was a valuable one. Bless you for sharing true compassion for your people before the alluring $$$.
Agree 👍
Thank you . That was very very informative.!!
Excellent overview, thank you, Dr Berry 👌
I am totally on the low carb camp, I am doing Keto. This is a super important video that everyone should see. But one tiny criticism - why say there is no meaningful nutrition in a potato? There is. I don't eat them, but it's not garbage. It's food. Also- nothing wrong with half your plate being veggies. If to you want to promote carnivore- ok, but it's not the only way to eat. Balanced Keto is great too. Mediterranean probably is good too.
