I am a Registered Nurse (28 yr.) and have worked in the GI Lab for well over 15 years. Very frustrating for me to stand by and listen to an MD give wrong advice and medications to patients. I have come close to leaving the medical profession as I believe big pharma has taken over medical schools and research. I can not blame most MD's for the treatment they prescribe as we all have to study the curriculum we are given to pass and obtain our degree, even if that curriculum is based on fake science. I believe Statin and Proton Pump Inhibiting drugs are such a huge scam among many others. God Bless you and keep up the good work
I'm glad your eyes are open! What other topics should I cover in future videos?

Totally agree been a nurse for 35 years!!!Sick of seeing drugs given to patients while never mentioning the actual cure!
I just found out I have high triglycerides and my doctor told me sugar and starch was the issue. Thankfully I was told the truth.
Omega fish oil, keto diet and weight loss helped me. Mine has been reduced 1.7 to 0.7. Do take care
@@raymondwong139 what about for a small (thin) child who already needs to maintain weight due to picky eating (currently working on that actively) ? His blood work came back and his triglycerides are high.
@@ms.anonymousinformer242 my kids enjoy salami, cheese, chicken, hard-boiled eggs, scrambled eggs, bacon, butter. Try low carb delicious foods. Just keep offering those options.
I am glad you got a good doctor. When I had high cholesterol/bad triglyceride/bad cholesterol/low good cholesterol and borderline prediabetes; my doctor gave me statins and told me to cut the carbs/junk food/etc and go exercise my butt off. It really depends on the doctor and who they work for which will determine if a doctor cares or not. My doctor only gave me statins because I went to the Emergency Room a few times since I had heavy chest pain and high bp/ high systolic/dialostic. I am also overweight per my height standard. My doctor sent me to a nutritionist/dietician too. Not many decent doctors out there anymore.
@@ms.anonymousinformer242 needs to eat the right foods
I have a fatty liver and my doctor told me to keep away from sugars and starches, like bread, macaroni, potatoes and rice. In a month I lost 15 lbs and my liver pain went away. You are right doctor!
I have yet to work on cutting more stuff out of my diet. Then it's also what they put in the stuff we eat as well. It's true that we do have to cut the refined carbohydrates out of your diet. Fiber is a must to eat in your diet. Then eating the good bread but don't over due it with the portions.
Told you about the evil Drs vs Hero Drs
@@jennieosborne3530 I’ve been doing carnivore with zero fiber for almost 2 years and no problems.
Fiber takes up valuable space and prevents absorption of vital nutrients.
Same here thanks to Covid because i start watching these doctors on CZcams I have started eating less googling carb content of everything I eat I cheat a little but drink apple cider vinegar every day my A1C went from 10 to 6.2 and i lost 30 lbs my liver pain is gone. No more soda only water and unsweetened icetea. If only my Dr would explain this to me.
@@tinman4585 Hi there! How much apple cider vinegar do you consume daily? I hope it's not too much to enquire out of you. Thanks in advance!
My brother died in February this year from nonalcoholic liver disease. My mission now is to teach people how to avoid this disease and I thank you Dr. Berry.
@@Dave-bx8gs Dr. Berry actually does have videos on NALD. I just wish my brother would have listened to what his doctor told him and what I told him I had learned. But you can’t make people change their mind set if they are not welling. It’s so sad.
Sorry for your loss how old was he
@@PEDALSnPROJECTS Thank you. He was 76 and taking care of his wife who also was sick. Stress was also a connection to his NAFD and he also had a heart attack two years before he died of the liver disease. I’m sure, since he was shocked 4 times before he came back to us, that shock to his body did not play well on his liver. Apparently he had the NAFD 3 years before is heart attack and never told anyone. That’s when he revealed it to me. Sad, but I know he’s no longer suffering and is with our Lord and Savior. That’s always a relief to know. God bless.♥️♥️
@@lindabragg4125 I’m sorry about your brothers loss God bless you.
@@Alexxxxx945 thank you very much.
When my Kaiser cardiologist asked me why I won’t take statins I told him that my LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels were already very low. He checked my lab report and agreed. Then I said “besides, I thought MI’s were caused by inflammation, not high cholesterol”. He looked startled for a second, and then said “yes, that is true, but there have been studies that may indicate that statins have anti-inflammatory properties as well”. I thought to myself, nice try doc, but I think I’ll take it from here and go with natural anti-inflammatory foods like turmeric, blueberries, etc. Conclusion: Do your own homework and verify everything that MD’s tell you. Big Pharma seems to have indeed compromised the medical profession.
Yosef Yitzchak Lopez myocardial infarction aka. heart attack
+Mark - good move. Turmeric could help with high LDL and TG levels but, Cumin and Black Seed have a much better effect controlling it. Cumin and Black Seed has the backing of both, herbalists and mainstream medical research. Also, LDL and TG levels naturally decrease when adhering to a low carb lifestyle.
Steve Warren What is Black Seed?
Mark, I went through basically the same thing ALSO with a Kaiser doc. I had a MI 9 years ago at 36. I was determined to fix my body, especially because the meds were making me feel all screwed up: muscle craps even though I was hydrated, mental fogginess and a low libido. I told the doc what my intentions were. He laughed and told me that I would be on the meds for the rest of my life *RED FLAG. Everything I ever read before this happened told me that these issues could be fixed by diet and exercise. I researched and my research led to a book, "The 30 Day Heart Tune-up," which gave advice I followed to a 'T'. I saw changes in my body.
I tracked my BP and pulse rate for three months and gathered figurative bullets for my gun - articles, the book, anecdotal evidence, et. al., which I took with me to my next appointment. The cardiologist scoffed at what I had. ANOTHER RED FLAG RIGHT THERE. He basically berated the author of the book and told me that he didn't know what he was talking about DESPITE the fact that the author, also a cardiologist, is...AHEM...GET THIS... a F E L L O W with the American Heart Association.
Showed Mr. Cardiologist the excel spreadsheet of my BPs. He said, "Well, ok, you can stop that, but you have to continue the statin." N O P E . Like you, Mark, I continued my holistic outlook and haven't looked back.
Steve Warren is
You got my LIKE as soon as you said, “I want you to verify what I say. I want you to doubt me. I want you to look it up.”
I could not find the study he claimed to have posted. Where is it?
Carrie Schrieber I did not see it either.
Some doctors get very defensive when you do that and will actually "discharge" you from the practice and send you the dreaded "Termination of the Doctor/Patient Relationship". Happened to me one time with a Gastroenterologist I was seeing off and on about about elevated Alkaline Phosphatase levels for 3 years and after numerous tests, no definite answer as to what was causing the elevation. At first, he told me that it was due to my gallbladder problems and would go away after I had my gallbladder removed which it didn't. Funny thing is that my PCP which was part of the same Hospital Medical Group, decided to refer me to another Physician Group in another city and apparently, he didn't like that and sent me the letter.

My triglycerides were 762 in 2015… I was put on a prescription but I never refilled it as it made me feel horrible. Last year I was 538. 6 months ago I cut back on calories and went from 198 to 158lbs. 2 months ago I started running. Last week I was tested again… 86 was my number. Also my Cholesterol went from 282 to 233 to 178 in the same time periods.
Good for you!!!
That's amazing, did you eat more meat? I figured it would raise general cholesterol numbers, you're lowered
@@tylerdurden9721 I actually ate less of everything, but because I ate less “empty” calories the percentage of my calories that came from meat went up I would assume. For 1 month I just stopped going back for seconds… then I did 1600 calories a day for 4 months… 1800 another month and for the last 3 months I have been at 2000 calories. My weight now is at 151 +/- 1lb depending on the day.
@@joelmullen4819 i understand now, I'm just starting this transition here. Been nervous and dipping in slowly, my levels are all off to I'm hoping to get of the meds entirely going more carnivore as you said less empty calories. Thank you fór the follow up.
@@joelmullen4819 I love that you gave numbers as I’m in a similar situation with similar numbers. How tall are you?
I have genetically high cholesterol (I am not overweight nor diabetic) but fortunately for me, my doctor recommended that I lower by carbs. Within 3 months I was in the normal ranges for everything but slightly high LDL but it had dropped 20+ points. I got a little lazy recently during the holidays and added a lot of carbs back in, just got my blood work and everything is high again. I am living proof that lowering carbs is the way to lower cholesterol.
My triglycerides were 300 last year. After eating meat for one year my triglycerides are 89. Thanks to you Dr Berry.
Are you carnivore or when you ate meat for the year to lower it?
@@charlenewilliams8131 I am carnivore
I’m curious to know how your triglycerides were after 6 months in? I switched to carnivore and my blood sugars are almost normal but doc wants to recheck everything in 6 months and I’m worried they’ll still be high initially and she’ll give me trouble lol
@@themamachar thank you. I'm doing carnivore and it has helped me a lot.
Ok so I didn’t eat meat for 5 years and when I tried Keto I got kidney stones that were due to the animal protein. I do much better on on low carb, high protein (the protein doesnt need to come from meat) Everyones body is different! Glad it works for you
I don’t need to read a study because I’m living proof. I watched this video in 2019 and watching it now in 2020. I took my triglycerides down from the 200s to 77 in a year on keto. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, Dr. Berry
Wow, thank you for sharing this. I've been on keto for only a month and I'm eager to see my triglycerides decrease. They've always been high. I'll find out in August when I get blood tests done.
Are you on a very strict keto diet? Do you have any links? Also intermittent fasting? Thanks
Lucas Magaña I’ve learned so much from dr. Berry. I am on a very low carb diet. I don’t track macros or check to see if I’m in ketosis. I eat plenty of healthy fat, low carb, and plenty of protein to satiety. And I do eat once a day.
I'm on keto & mines in the 300's. I dont understand.
My experience similar; down from 231 to 84.
Just got told by my PCP that my triglycerides were 1546mg/dl and last year they were 556mg/dl. My sons been in the hospital for few months and my blood pressure and stress have been through the roof. Been living through drive throughs and addicted to energy drinks. Was offered a med and to be referred to a VA dietician to help me learn recipes without any fat… moved to eggs, steak, bacon, chicken, butter, water, occasionally butter cooked green beans or a salad without sugary dressing, and one cup of black coffee in the morning, after a week I feel amazing. Will check in next month. All started with your other photo explaining lowering triglycerides
did your next blood profile look better after that change?
@@orlando5681 scheduled for next month.
I watched your video and I was able to reduce my triglycerides from 260 to 78 in 1 month. This was because I took out all the carbs and artificial sugars and fruits from my diet. I replaced my Primary care because he was trying to tell me I shouldn't worry. Thank you so much Dr Berry. This man is the real deal people!
Please tell me what your daily meal is like
What do you eat? I don't have a gallbladder
WOW my physician at work told me the same thing about high triglicerides. She said not to worry too much about it. (I had it done in march 2023) it's been 2 months since i cut my carbs in half and upped my unsaturated, healty fat instead, along with the protein i eat daily. I'm sure my levels are lower than 200 now
I am an RN...became pre diabetic..and fought it..became Diabetic (4 years ago)..and finally, a year ago from this past June 2017, we became NO sugar, NO grains.( we found even good Steel cut Oatmeal kept my husband's triglycerides elevated) not even oatmeal. (HE was also drinking 4 oz of orange juice! Now that has stopped)..and his Triglycerides fell well within norm levels. I got off my Diabetes Po medication and we feel fabulous!! After reading The 8 week blood sugar diet, The Obesity Code, and a number of Keto diet books. So happy to find you, too!! So true..Grains and Sugar are poison. We now eat low glycemic veggies..small protein..and great fats! Avocado, nuts/seeds, we do eat cheese and my bone density is great. I lost 25 lbs..hubby lost 30 (dang his hide) and we are both age 65. This is big! I wish I could go back to our Education department and retrain our Open Heart patients..we have been lied to~~
Hearing this makes me very happy. I wish more docs and nurses knew this! Keep sharing this message because there are sick people who need to hear it!
Jason they don't lower triglycerides. They are high in carbs which are quickly converted to sugar.
Doing cardio burns sugar
Jason, this is an converted MD, practicing CURE. Believe his words.
Debby Ann BRAVO KETO all the way. Trig levels dropped from 210 to 90 in 3 months TRUE. Only saturated fats NO CARBBS OR SUGAR
Having an MD, a real doctor, tell you that eggs, meat, butter & saturated fats are good for you and will NOT raise your triglycerides or give you fatty liver is PRICELESS information!! It really gives me great confidence that this is the way to go. Thanks, Doc!
I sure hope he’s right because if not then he’s leading thousands to a quicker death possibly
@@user-hn9qg5qm3o The evidence that it's fructose that raises triglycerides is weighty. It is virtually established fact. However, total and HDL cholesterol will rise on a diet heavy in saturated fats. That's not as bad a thing as some people, even doctors, think. The HDL:Triglycerides ratio is one good marker for cardiovascular disease. On a saturated fat heavy diet, HDL rises but triglycerides fall - this is cardio-protective and a good thing.
It's not the cholesterol in food per se that raises your serum cholesterol - well, not much anyway, because: 1. Your body only absorbs about 25% of cholesterol in food because it's actually metabolically expensive for the body to take up cholesterol since it has to convert it through esterification in order to transport it; & 2. Your body produces a lot more cholesterol than you could get from food! If your body absorbs a significant amount through food, it will reduce its own production correspondingly.
So, what increases serum cholesterol? Evidence, already significant, is increasing that it's primarily due to inflammation. Taking foods alone, the foods that are known to be highly inflammatory are primarily sugar and linoleic-rich (omega-6) seed oils - corn, soy, cottonseed, safflower, sunflower, etc. The oils that are good for lowering inflammation are omega-3 and saturated fats.
You need cholesterol and saturated fats to form cell membranes, though omega-3 oils are also involved, particularly in neurons.
@@justsomeguy2211 Thanks for the explanation! Very thorough. I really appreciate it.
@@user-hn9qg5qm3o My pleasure!
Well if you do keto, the body burns the fat because it does not have glucose to burn. If you do not cut your carbs to 50 and below and you just add butter & animal fat like bacon, then you will increase your triglycerides if you are like me. I changed from light butter ( cut with canola oil) & cooking with just olive oil to using butter for all purposes and did not cut carbs much. My triglycerides went from 120 to 150. So be aware. Keto is the way to go or don't add the extra saturated animal fat.
I am a perfect example of what you are saying! My triglycerides came in at 298 when I was eating and drinking lots of sugars and pastas. It was dumb on my part to have so much right before my blood work. I immediately suspected it and requested another blood test in 3 weeks. I stopped a lot of the ice cream, soda, bread and pasta and then took my blood work test. My triglycerides came in at 76! I'm a believer. So many people STILL are old school and stop eating eggs, burgers, sausages etc. and it DOESN'T WORK! Thank you Doctor Ken Berry!
THANK YOU! I got the diagnosis yesterday of high cholesterol, high triglycerides, high liver function, A1C 6.4, so just short of being diabetic, and high BP. I was prescribed meds for sugar and cholesterol, and told to eat low-carb and low fat. I knew from listening to you and another Dr on youtube that the low fat part was wrong. Thank you for sharing accurate information!
My triglycerides went from 400 to 104 in 3 1/2 months on the ketogenic diet. My HDL Chol went from 20 to 34. Thanks KenDBerryMD. I have also started a channel about the ketogenic diet and am trying to spread the word. I have listed the 32 health benefits of the Ketogenic diet.
Thank you for your report. My triglycerides went up after eating oatmeal for ten months. I'm going Keto on Monday.
When I was originally diagnosed as diabetic ten years ago my triglycerides were always measured as "abnormally high" which I think is higher than 500. It wasn't until a few years ago that I moved towards a higher protein/fat diet and dropped grains and bread (my diabetic diet said that I could have around 200 carb grams in a day) that my triglycerides dropped from 500+ to 120 in six months. I couldn't explain it but it has remained around 100 - 120. This video kind of explains how I inadvertently corrected my triglyceride problem. I'm not on Keto but more like halfway to it and still get positive results.
I just started keto this month & already notice a great change. I recently found out I have high cholesterol & I'm terrified honestly.
Please share me how u manage it uncle I m 25 I hv 325 now I m so much worried about this please kindly reply me
@@PeachReverie I'm in keto for three weeks now. Like Dr. Berry says, don't worry about your cholesterol. Worry about your hemoglobin A1C (running 3 month avg of blood sugar) and triglycerides (blood fats). Don't worry about cholesterol.
I left big pharma after 10 years as a rep because I couldn't promote drugs that hurt more than helped patients. Thank you for spreading the good word and restoring my faith in the medical profession. My triglycerides are high and I just started keto a week ago so I'm looking forward to seeing improving blood work soon!

I finished nursing school last year but realized I can't be a part of it. It's so sad that the "health care" industry is not about getting people healthy. I am thankful for my knowledge but hate paying for student debt that never earned me a dollar.
@@Adentalgrl I just saw this, but I wanted to say that I hope you are getting a handle on your school debt. You are not alone in being ripped off by the medical field. Your debt is a tangible reminder for you in $$, but many of us are victims in our poor health condition. I hope you can be glad that you don't have to undo your health problems and that you can BE healthy while paying this cost. You are very smart and I applaud your very conscionable choice!

THE BEST DR WE EVER HAVE WITHOUT CONSULTATION. KEN BERRY YOU ARE LOVE TO US.
There's no money in a cure.
Exactly......
Simply stated!
Dr's love to prescribe those meds. to keep those 'follow ups' continuing....good ol 'Money Flow'! If on meds, I believe many of them require you to come back every 3-4 months just for check up....that doesn't include lab work/xrays, etc.
@@janicecrose376 Let's remember that sugar also feeds cancer. Remove sugars and carbs and cancer dies. Dr. Warburg proved this in the 1920s (The Warburg Effect), but he was silenced.

Watch a 4 minute video of Dr. Hatfield (Dr. Squat) who was given 2 months to live after a Stage 4 bone cancer diagnosis and was cured after 6 months of a ketogenic diet. Must Watch 4 minute video.

@@frankiefernandez5252 I will be sure to watch that video. Must admit I got teary eyed and so angry at same time reading your info on video. I've always found (maybe 1 or 2 exceptions), dr's don't know much about nutrition (or Act like it), and are quick to bring out that D___ pad. Guess I'm really down on dr's out there! I feel so fortunate to hear the Good and True info from such caring drs like Dr Ken Berry, Dr Eckberg, the 'Motivational Doc', and many others. Anyone you recommend, please let me know.
Dr. Berry, it is so refreshing to see a doctor be so passionate about the misguidance that is being given to people! Thank you for what you do!!
You haven’t paid attention...he failed this patient of 10 years...you didn’t listen
It's 2022 and I just realized in the last few months that NAFLD can lead to liver failure. I joined a liver health group on FB and was beyound FLABBERGASTED to see people in their 20s and 30s getting transplants or dying while waiting for them, with NAFLD that had progressed! Doctors have listed this as a diagnosis code for over 10 years in my chart, but never could offer any advice other than "lose weight" and "eat less fat." My triglycerides are over 400. Same advice for that. I lost 65 pounds and my A1c barely budged and my lipid panel got worse. I've recently taken charge of my health after following your's (and similar) content and hope I can reverse whatever damage is done to some extent.
How are you doing 2 years later?
My triglycerides were hovering around 300. Eating well did not change it much, maybe 50 pts. I started a 16/8 fast schedule (16 fast, 8 eat window) and without any other changes my triglycerides dropped to 99 on the last blood test. A 16/8 fast is super easy. Only eat between noon and 8pm. Essentially no breakfast and don't eat after 8. Black coffee still does the job in the morning for me.
Did you lose any weight with 16/8?
15 or so pounds. At some plateau now...staying with it for lipid profile improvements@@Slay5643
Thank you Dr sooooo much!!!!!!
Back in the 1990's I was seeing a DR in Las Vegas. He read my blood work and exclaimed "your triglycerides are at 45 - you must not eat any fat!" Well actually I did eat fat and was on the Atkins diet. I did however avoid carbohydrates like they were poison! I had dropped from 235 lbs. to 158 lbs. on this diet. Lately I have added intermittent fasting and exercising in the fasted state to my protocol.
So, you were on Atkins and had high triglycerides? How are your trilgycerires now and are you on a relatively low GI diet?
"Doc, I only eat fat and protein. No starches, no sugars. I'm burning up all my trigs before you see them."

@@charlesbukowski9752 thanks , that was a new term to me👍🙏🏼❤️
what fats you were consuming for the keto, saturated or unsaturated?
Exactly what they told me at the VA in 2007, almost 16 years to date. Eat very low fat, little protein and plenty of vegs/fruits so I did. 15 yrs and no matter how low fat or exercise I did, my Triglycerides and Cholesterol were always very high, even when on Lopid (or Gemfibrozil, which almost damaged my liver) or until recently, on high Fenofibrates (that did absolutely nothing for me). Their explanation 'well, that's just hereditary'. What a bunch of quacker doctors, smh. So, back in December 2022, I discovered Dr. Berry's YT channel while recovering from spine fusion surgery and, 100+ days into Carnivore and those conditions were quickly reversed and even dropped down 20+lbs, although I wasn't really obese, all without exercise as I am still recovering from spinal fusion surgery. My sleeping pattern has improved greatly and many of the other joint pains I had (supposedly from years of military service) have subsided now to almost zero. My recovery have been very fast according to my neurosurgeon. Amazing!
Thank you for your service to our country!🇺🇸 Middle Tennessee Rita ❤
Very encouraging
My triglycerides blood result came yesterday 475 …

Awesome work there! Curious to know how long it was before your labs showed a difference@@cristianstriblea792
Good luck. I wish you the best.
@@cristianstriblea792 😮 That’s amazing!
I had my MD tell me that if I wanted to lower my cholesterol, then don’t eat anything that ever had a heart. I have only been doing keto for a short time, but the difference in how I feel and what I’m seeing with my body are evidence enough that he is wrong! Thank you for spreading the word and helping to educate people on the benefits of keto!
I’ve been keto for 5 months and feel great (I’m 60). I’m in the U.K. and we are around 3 - 4 years behind you guys. I lost my best friend to breast cancer two years ago. She was a consultant anaesthetist, and super smart but was eating lots of carbs “for energy,” in order to do her hectic job. It breaks my heart to wonder if the carbohydrates she ate exacerbated her breast cancer. Please keep up the good work. Thanks Nick.
You can bet all the carbs that she ate DID indeed exacerbate her cancer, as well as the inflammation & excess cortisol from such a hectic job.
I had a brush with breast cancer in 2020. My son, a data scientist who does lots of research on health and longevity, told me to get on a strict keto diet and cut out all sugar. So far, my follow up check ups have been very good.
We are not behind at all. It's just that people in the UK rely too much on the NHS to be told what to do. I have been keto and now carnivore over 10 years.
Started low carb this year...cut my triglycerides by half (86 to 43) and bumped HDL up from 60 to 84. I also do crossfit 3 days a week so that may make difference also.
With CrossFit are you really hitting the weights hard and putting your muscles through a very intense workout or do you keep the weight moderate and go slow?
Thank you, tried keto in January my triglycerides level was 254 . In April it went to 90 and my blood pressure bottom number was 100+ now 79-80 ish
Thank you 🙏 I am 63 years old female
Great video. I eat lots of butter... bacon and eggs on a daily basis. No added sugar. No soda. No juice or sweet tea. And take mct oil daily as well. My triglycerides are at 50.
That's both amazing and inspiring.
Omg I just cannot believe !! I change my diet using butter now and I'm on keto diet thanks
Wow!!!
Thank you so much for this information. Your the Best Dr.!!!
Love this comment
Dr. Berry, I just subscribed! Thank you for sharing your helpful knowledge. I am a 61-year-old, 5’ 6” short, retired Air Force veteran (24 yrs). Last Oct (2018), I weighed 168 lbs at my heaviest, with a waist of 34-not happy with that, but thought it was just my new normal that I had gradually morphed into since retirement in ‘08. I had high bad cholesterol, low good cholesterol, high triglycerides, extremely low B-12, etc. In Oct I learned that my daughter was getting married in 1 year=motivation! I determined to lose weight (with a goal of no more than 150lbs-good luck on that!) and improve my lab numbers. Since Oct, I have been on a healthy diet (lots of salads, salmon, skinless chicken, homemade tuna salads, lean red meats in lower quantities, etc.) and only the past 6 weeks started the Couch to 5K program with my wife. I did cut out all those things you mentioned, and my lab numbers improved significantly. Next labs are in mid-Nov, and I’m sure they’re gonna rock! Yesterday I weighed 145.7lbs (a recent low was 144.4lbs) with visceral fat of 1, and body fat of 15.5. I recently purchased a new three-piece Ralph Lauren suit for the wedding. Only the coat sleeve length, trouser leg length, and waist needed to be adjusted. The waist on this suit was 31-no way to get into that-yet. But it was drastically marked down, so I had to buy this one. So I requested the tailor to let the waist out to 32. The trousers are now perfect! Next, a new white shirt. I tried on several, but the regular was too bulky, the trim fit still had too much in the chest/belly, so I ended up with the slim fit! Never in my wildest dreams!! Everything you said was spot on, and I am loving this journey with my wife! No turning back, not just on the diet, but the whole lifestyle change!! Thank you again for being against-the-grain honest!!
11:53 is 😅
Great story and pun. You are one great father of the bride.
Five years later and what huge positive steps you’ve accomplished in your life.Congrats on your family and your business! Great job dr Ken!You did good :-)
My trig went after 6 months from 133 to 58. Cholesterin from 225 to 166.
I'm in Keto, with intermittent fasting 6-18. I eat a lot of healthy fats and protein. My weight ist stable. (I don't want a loose more in weight, 164cm/ 64 kg). Thanks a lot doc for helping us! God bless you! ❤️
10 years ago my husband died of liver disease. What can I say? I didn't have all of this information where I could have helped him. He was under the care of a doctor at the Mayo Clinic in Phoenix where we lived. It makes me heart sick. God bless you for getting the word out.
I feel the same way about my father who now has dementia. I feel like it could have been prevented long ago. I’m sorry for your loss!
Thank you so much Dr. Berry. Your advice really saves me. In the past I ate too many carbs and had high tryglisterides. Now they are at 66 although I still am overweight but losing weight. Yesterday I ended a 3 day water fast with 6 eggs and plenty of bacon. Started the next fast right after that and feel great. None of my doctors every came up with what you said, but they were at least impressed when my elevated gamma-gt plummeted and said "How did you do that? Keep doing what you are doing." In the middle of September I have an appointment with my GP and he will check my gamma-gt again. It had gone doiwn from 130 to 70, and I am sure it will then be much lower. And he should notice my weight loss.
I love this doctor. Love watching these important shows. These are things that really need to be heard across the country.
I wish you were my Primary Care provider also like your health information videos
Thank you DR.BERRY for all you do
Thx Dr Barry! My Dr doesn't understand Keto, or cholesteral numbers and I took myself off statins a year ago. No longer prediabetic and feel great. My Triglycerides are good. Been on Keto for 17 mos and maintaining weight. Lost 50 lbs in 9 mos. with healthy keto. Feel great. I'm not worried about higher ldl cuz of tryglycerides are good. No longer eat starchy sugary foods😃friends don't understand but then I try and discuss Keto and they say it's not good to not eat fruit🤣🤣they r overweight and jealous I think ha
I did this for 10 months and lowered my trigs 80 points and raised my HDL by 20 points! Ratio went from 4.97 down to 2.2! As a bonus I am no longer diabetic!
what fats you were consuming for the keto, saturated or unsaturated?
You are diabetic, just well controlled.
@@SpaceDad42 prove it or 🤫 shut up!
Love your content. I listen to you more than my regular Practitioner. I get a new one every time I have to come in for blood work now at the age of 50. I have recently in the past two years practiced intermittent fasting and dropped 25 pounds easy. I can't lie I like a potato and some carbs every now and then but I will strictly watch my self and stay on the low carb the next week. I have been diagnosed with NAFLD two years ago and this is why I quit the cokes, soda, fructose sugar drinks. Again, I will slip up every now and then and have some orange juice or cranberry juice. So, went in two years later after being diagnosed and results still the same. Today I am in a meeting and watched a guy that I know well, have a monster drink and 3 dr peppers before noon! Two weeks ago he was in Pheonix az and had this 3 day Mayo Clinic physical and got the results back. Everything looks great! Guess what Im getting at, some people live like its their last day on earth. They have great blood work tests and others struggle that really try to do the diet the way you talk about.
I have been following your channel for a couple of years. I am a silent viewer until now. I just want to thank you for all your videos and help. My dr wanted to put me on statins and anti acid meds BP meds and wanted to find a way to lower my cholesterol and BP naturally and your videos helped tremendously. I was 248 pounds. My HDL was at 35 LDL at 149 VLDL at 21. I went on a Keto diet and added butter and healthy fats I am now 144 pounds HDL is at 83 LDL is high but that is expected and normal for what I am doing. And my VLDL is at 9. So grateful for all
Your help in achieving this. 53 year old female and feel better then I ever have. Thank you!
My family looks at me like a crazed buffalo when I say I cant eat carbs like rice, potatoes, pastas , breads. They cant process how those "foods" are nothing but fillers and empty calories. They hate that I dont eat much fruit ,except small handfuls of blueberries and such. They think its crazy that I cant eat bananas. They have no idea of the concept of what it means to read labels and look for bad ingredients
I can understand eliminating the carbs, but why is fruit bad?? Why no bananas? Fruit is very good for you and has essential vitamins and nutrients, right? I have strawberries, blueberries and bananas every day with my oatmeal. You’re saying that’s a bad thing?
@@anthonygiordano3991 for me, fruits in general raise my blood sugar and heart rate out the roof. Bananas make me feel like fixing to have a heart attack. I stay away from them. Veggies co storage me so bad and give me himmoroids and make me bleed, so I eat them sparingly
@@anthonygiordano3991 Charlie seems to have some issues unique to him. Level of sugar on most fruits is not comparable to artificial desserts and fruit does contain fibre/vitamins which you need and apparently fibre reduces the amount of sugar absorbed . I eat fruit and berries almost every day - berries go very well with my morning porridge. My BMI is 23. Ideal triglycerite/HDL ratio. Only thing i eliminated from my diet are processed sweets (coke/candy/cakes/choclate/Icecream). I still eat carbs.
@@anthonygiordano3991 Fruit is bad because if is full of fructose! Fructose will increase risk of NAFLD, among other thingds.
You obviously did not watch the video and are a troll, otherwise you would have known this and not bleated about eating fruits and porriage eating plenty of carbs.
LOL They see the evidence right in front of them and deny the truth. You changed, there is hope for them as long as they have breath. I can eat anything I want, I choose to eat only that which has been of benefit to me. Not a diet, a way toward a happy healthy life! Congrats to all who have found Dr. Ken Berry on You Tube!
Dr. Berry I LOVE KETO! I watched MANY of your videos in March and was convinced I needed to go KETO. Have been strict with it, continue to watch your videos and have lost 27 pounds since April. I feel FANTASTIC and cannot wait to surprise my GP in January when she sees I've dropped weight and KNOW all my numbers (that were already "just ok") will be GREAT! May God Bless you!
Dr Berry,
I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart, I have been following you for a couple years now, watching your videos, and recently my blood sugar was getting way out of control, on average in the mid 400's, I had severe neuropathy in my feet, they felt like they were on fire 24/7, I was drinking 8 - 12 cans of diet soda per day, I was a mess. About 6 weeks ago, after watching a bunch of your videos, I woke up one morning and said "I've had enough, I need to fix this" I stopped drinking soda, I switched to iced teat, I weened myself off of caffeine over a period of about a week, and I have only been drinking water, and occasionally some crystal light, I adopted a loose carnivore diet ( I love my veggies ) but I wasn't getting the results I wanted, so I switched to 100% carnivore, as of this afternoon, I am seeing my blood sugars in the 105 - 140 range, its still goes up in the morning when I first wake up, but its on average about 170, this is the lowest its been in years, my feet feel amazing, I have so much more energy, I dont feel drained all the time, I am still taking some of my meds, Glipizide, Lisinipril - HTZ, and a baby asprin, I stopped taking my Atorvastatin about 3 or 4 months ago. all I can say is THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
Please keep doing what you war doing, you are changing lives, you changed mine.
Leo
Great video. One of my favorite channels. Thanks, Doc.
Thank you for your great videos Dr. Berry! I am a 66 yr old female who has T2 diabetes and have been eating keto and low carb, plus low calorie a few years. I did lose 20 lbs in the beginning, but hit a brick wall and the weight started coming back on. I figured I was on too few calories so I added back in some. My weight has stayed the basic same ever since then.
Then I got breast cancer and it spread to my bones. Since I thought I was dieing I dove back into the carbs. (I know that was dumb.) My blood sugars skyrocketed as expected. Low and behold a year later after chemo I am in remission and have ditched the carbs but for a rare treat. I'm looking into the meat only diet now. I can do that easily.
Thanks again Doc. I.m posting your videos on my FB group of older sick women who are as bad off as me. Many have fibromyalgia, thyroid, diabetes, allergies out the ears, you name it. I want to scream at one that had the widowmaker heart attack and open heart surgery and is on strict no fat SAD diet, with statins. ... Again God bless you, thanks. Bee in Texas
So impressed. I am so over weight since I turned 40 never before but my life has changed and my doctors can not figure out why other lowering my calories. 3 years ago had a stroke, and still never was told any of this. Thank you, I am going to watch all your videos and change my life
@@gae384 hey YES my blood sugars are high but dropped a lot, my weight down 60 lbs
@@erllive1 nice job, congrats!
Research high dose K2 for artery health. 6000 FU per day at least. This will significantly improve artery health. Miracle vitamin.
a simple and excellent advice that is not often known by a lot of people who have high sugar and trigliceride. thanks Dr Ken
Thanks for taking the time Doc, I appreciate it.
Thank you i have a heart disease, fatty liver and more and i am on medication for the heart disease and other stuff. Since i am on ketogenic slowly I want to stop all this medication.
I love this guys delivery. So passionate and honest.
I’ve lost some weight in the past few months, cut out most carbs, doing some fasting as well, but my cholesterol and triglycerides are still up. Reconciling all of the information out there regarding diets and health is very challenging, to put it politely.
Thank you, Dr. Berry!
I really appreciate the fact that you are bucking the dogma!! Thank you, it really helps
Oh, btw- I was working with a 65 yo patient in the hospital discussing low carb and he was 100% in agreement. He said he wished he had someone here in Indy who would check the correct labs, like his insulin level. I told him my husband and I went to TN a few years back to have a doc there do them. He said , “was it Dr. Ken Berry?” Well yes it was. CZcams sensation! You’re teaching people of all ages all over the U.S. and beyond!!!! Keep it up!! Thank you!
In my case, I'm not overweight, I have a healthy diet, no alcohol, drinking mainly water but my Triglycerides went to 567 after having heavy corona symptoms for months and also going through a highly stressful phase in my life. After I started working on stress reduction, meditating and exercising more they fell down to 260 within 3 months. Also have been adding more Omega 3 to my diet more. I could feel when I had super high triglycerides, my heart was racing more often. Although, I'm still working on lowering them I feel already much better so hopefully next test will be even better.
Watching this as a PCP, thank you for getting this information out. When I tell people to cut out the sugar I watch as the ears go totally deaf and I can just watch the decision get made to not take that advice (lol). As you know, the problem isn’t necessarily the doctors or “big pharma”, many many people just want a pill to fix it all. So these people fuel “big pharma”. You rock, thanks!
It’s a vicious circle. North American health and disease treatment is falling further and further behind, in the name of the pharmaceutical industry, whether it’s selling pills or backing medical training.
Thank you Doctor. I really appreciate your way of communicating.
Im very happy to see your videos subtitled in espanish cuz now Im gona be able to share them among muy not english spoken friends, excellent job.😊
Get on them Dr. Berry!!!! Great Job!!!
I just wanted to say that I really appreciate your videos. They are extremely informative and done in the way that even I can understand. I don't know if you know this sir but you are awesome. You're taking time out of your busy day to help others. I find that to be amazing. Thank you so much.
I went over my cholesterol results with my primary dr yesterday. My total cholesterol is up from September, and my LDL is up, but so is my HDL.....annnnnnnd my triglycerides are DOWN and well within normal range. My dr is very supportive of whole foods diets, including keto, so she's very happy with my change to keto a year ago. I told her I learn alot from you and she was very interested to learn about you. Every time I comment on one of your videos, I have to thank you! You are helping me get healthier! You have encouraged me to keep looking for doctors who will listen, and now I have a whole team of doctors helping me figure out everything that's going on. And they all love everything I'm already doing. Thank you!
Good luck. A losing battle to go toe to toe with your pcp as well as the gargantuan big pharma Prescription drug industry
You’re improving my health & my life. Thank you. 🙏
Great video. And info. Thanks.
Thank you so much Dr Berry, since I have found you and listen to you my liver enzyme has gone down from 166 to 36 and they reduced my Metformin to one a day, lost 10kg on Keto and surprised my Dr and liver specialist. I am 62 and when I was diagnosed with fatty liver in 2008 they put me on steroid tablets until 2014 when I challenged them. Steroid has done some serious damage to my body lost most of my hair I have also diagnosed with discoid lupus which I am refusing to take anything for it. I think having gone on keto diet and listening to you wonderful person has made my health much better so thank you again for sharing your knowledge with us.
Now this is one proper healthcare advice! Cheers & mabuhay from tropical Philippines!
Thank you Dr Berry.You are an absolute genius working for good cause and educating ,helping people lower triglycerides
Stay Blessed.....you have rightly advised & I'm also the one to get rid of NAFLD..... thanks a lot. Keep serving!!!!
With tears thank you so much. God bless.🙏🙏
Thank you so much for this information doctor. You are a blessing.
Hands down the best Dr. that I have seen ever. Common sense approach is awesome. Speaking normal to normal folks!!! Thanks Dr!!
Aug 2020 60yr 102kg Blood Test TG at 3.8 mmol/l. Started Keto/IF and some Carnivore in December. July 21, now 82 kg Blood Test TG 0.6 mmol/l. HDL was 1.3 now 2.2 mmol/l. Blood Pressure down to normal, was hanging around 140/90 , now 120/80 and lower. All going in the right direction, thank you Dr Ken !!
Oh Dirk I totally get where your coming from ! I can almost pull my hair out ! Dr Berry your such an amazing human !
New subscriber here. Thank you for sharing this important information! You're changing the life of this Calif girl!
This is an exactly presentation we all need to listen, nothing else seriously! thank you Dr. Berry.
You are so right about doctors not guiding us properly. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing this doctor
Thanks ,I have a doctor's appointment this week I'll be sharing this with her. Thanks Dr. Berry. 😊
Thanks for your professional insight Bless You !
Thank you very much Ken. You are very special person.Thank you for sharing your heart, to all of us. God bless you and all your good work
Hello i want to thank you for this video. It helped me to get my husband's triglycerides under control and high blood pressure and high cholesterol.
Great vids Dr. Berry, thank You.
Thank you Dr Ken. Merry Christmas 🎄⛄ to you, and your entire family 🎄⛄🙏🙏🙏
My triglycerides were high 10 years ago. Not extreme, but high enough the doctor mentioned it. Watched a Gary Taubes lecture 9 years ago. Changed my diet to low carb. My levels have been extremely low ever since.
Thanks doc. This is good for me to know. I tell you what bud anyone that has you for a doc is in good hands. I wish I could find a doc as sharp as you bud
You are so right Dr. I had fatty liver in 2021. I didn't know fatty liver could cause so much pain. I did exactly what you said. My doctor back home said the same thing. Many thanks for always giving us hope to live longer and better. Blessings 🙏
Genuineness reflects in all your videos !
Thank you so much Dr Berry ❤️👍
Triglycerides went down from 228 to 97 just by stopping sugar, hidden sugar and starches with no exercise and I am still +30 lbs obese and eat 5 fried eggs, butter, cheese and coconut oil every day.
Muhammad Shaikh That’s AWESOME ! how long did that take?
UNGETABLE7 4 months. Sorry for late reply.
Yes KETO triglycerides from 210 to 90 in 3 months TRUE
Golda Sandhu dear please change your doctor. His diagnosis is based on wrong information. Just avoid sugar, hidden sugar and carbs except for non starchy vegetables. You'll be amazed with the results. My 71 old mother went down to 127 from 220 within two months.
Mine went from 126 to 84 after just TWO WEEKS on keto!!! (I know my numbers aren't super, scary high, but still!) This is the most amazing way of eating EVER! Also, GREAT job on your numbers!
My cardiologist told me to get a new cardiologist because of about a year of seeing her, I told her I do NOT trust big pharma. She does trust big pharma so I no longer see her. If I were to eat an extra 1000 calories of simple carbs for 3 weeks, I would gain about 15 pounds. I know this for a fact. I have to eat a strict carnivore diet mostly OMD unless it is a weekend. I also have to be careful on how much I eat. Unfortunately, I can NOT eat as much as I would like. I gain weight very easily, even when very active and strict carnivore. I still can't figure out why. When I did take meds directly after my heart ❤️💙💜💖 attack, my TOTAL cholesterol lowered, but my HDL went below 45 and my triglycerides shot up because I thought grains and low fat was the way to go. I am very fortunate to find Doctors on CZcams that are as like minded, well read and well researched as Dr. Berry. Thanks Dr. Berry.
Thank you, Dr. Berry, for all your informative videos.
I very much appreciate them 🙏
Thank you dr,. Berry. I am working on my fatty liver almost a year. And I lost some weight, and I'm eating bacon and eggs, I am feeling fine. Full of energy and good mood. Thank you
God bless you for be so concern about our heath and bring this information to us. Thank you.
Thanks, doc. Will do this for a few months and see how it goes as my trigly is way up 415 and sugar is borderline, too.
Thnx Doc for your work and honesty
My triglycerides are high. My nurse practitioner told me to stop it with the sugar, including simple carbs
Yes, you have to go lower carb to cut them
stop it WITH the sugar ? INCLUDE simple carbs ? WHAT does this mean? Do you mean STOP the sugar , STOP the simple carbs ? thanks
Simple carbs are the white bread, pastas, white rice, and starchy foods.
@@bikecontroller3268 yes all sugars especiallt fruit apart from blackberries, raspberries, strawberries and no simple carbs like bread pasta rice and little to none below ground grown veg. stick to veg grown above ground
@@bikecontroller3268 Read it again. He didn't say "include simple carbs."
