Heart Surgeon's Shocking Red Meat Opinion! [Phillip Ovadia, MD]
VloĆŸit
- Äas pĆidĂĄn 15. 08. 2024
- Bacon is Heart Healthy and the American Heart Association is upset about this, Harvard School of Public Health is having palpitations, and the Tufts School of Nutrition flat out crapped their pants!
Dr. Phillip Ovadia, a practicing heart surgeon, graduated from the accelerated Pre-Med/Med program at the Penn State & Jefferson Medical College. He then went on to complete a Residency in General Surgery at the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School & a Fellowship in Cardiothoracic Surgery at Tufts- New England Medical School.
In an effort to overcome his lifelong struggle with obesity, Dr. Ovadia adopted a ketogenic way of eating in 2015. He has maintained a weight loss of nearly 100 pounds and since March, 2019 has maintained a mostly carnivorous way of eating. He wrote Stay Off My Operating Table, and also hosts the Stay Off My Operating Table Podcast.

Carnivore for 30 days. Blood pressure 117 over 73 can I quit my BP meds which is low dose. Previously 145/85
AMEN to that!
I had high blood pressure, so my doctor gave me two types of heart medication. a little later My doc said I had high cholesterol and put me on Statin, and a couple of months later got inflamed joints and now I was prediabetic and my doctor put me on Metformin. and then I got protein in my urine. My health deteriorated quickly and I felt really sluggish and depressed, had aches and pains everywhere. swollen ankles, Itchy legs and so many other side effects as weight gain and really stiff legs. I knew that This was all bad.
I started my carnivore diet after watching Dr. Berry. Today I have no heart medication, no Statin, no Metaformin and no bad symptoms. For me the results were complete in 6 weeks.
â€â€â€
Good to hear.
Btw, what you ate before carnivore ?
Smart decision great news
no more protein in urine too??
So good to hear that. That's what we need: results..!
This guy is the most honest, practical doctor that I have ever heard. I have been a surgeon for 34 years and he is speaking the absolute truth! Praise to both doctors for being so honest!
â@zrymill all you can do is try, it does different miracles for different people
Ok, i'm gonna try to keep this relatively short but that might be difficult...I have to share what my doc just told me this morning after a visit. I'm 62 years old, 5'10" and now at 275 lbs. Been doing the carnivore for 24 days now and started at 297 lbs. I started with sleep apnea, elbow pain, stiffness in my fingers, horrible sleep patterns, grogginess in the mornings and not wanting to get out of bed, high blood pressure, anxiety, back pain, pre-diabetic....you get the picture. As of today I no longer have the joint pain, I'm sleeping well and getting up at 5 without an alarm and feeling rested, and this month was the first month I've had a surplus of Ativan for the anxiety. All that being said, I was so anxious to tell the doc about all of this because I just knew he was going to be proud of me. Man oh man, I couldn't have been more wrong. I've been watching a lot of Dr. Berry's videos as well as Dr. Chaffees and other people as well and I keep hearing about how the medical people all keep perpetuating the lie that red meat and animal fats will give you a heart attack, we need our veggies, fiber is good for you....
So, his response was to this effect, not verbatim but very close; "It's great that you're losing weight and feeling better, so it's fine if you wanna keep doing this another three months or so -he had previously asked me how long I intended to keep this diet up to which I responded, "the rest of my life! It's not a diet, it's a lifestyle"- He said there were decades of "stone cold evidence" showing the correlation between eating saturated fats and too much animal products and heart disease. He said "you absolutely need your fruits and veggies for proper nutrients and vitamins. He said, "Fiber is essential to lowering the risk of colon cancer." I mean, he literally went right down the list of lies we've all heard most of our lives and stressed how important it all was. He reiterated several times that there was just piles and decades of evidence to show these are all truths. He said, "You want to stay away from social media as your go-to source for information because we just end up finding the information we want to hear." I wanted to say, "so you're telling me that I WANTED to hear that I need to QUIT my beloved sugar? No more mixing-sized bowls of Cap'n Crunch at 11 p.m.? That's what I wanted to hear???" Are you kuh-RAZY??? It's the last thing I wanted to hear. What I wanted to hear was the TRUTH and thank God He brought me to Dr. Berry's and Dr. Chaffee's CZcams channels where they CITE their sources and show you the clinical evidence. Not only that, but the literally thousands of comments from people JUST LIKE ME who are testifying that this is the single best health decision they've ever made! So, super disappointed in him and time to find a new doc. Does he actually WANT me to go back to eating the way I was that brought me to 297 pounds, diabetic, aches and pains, brain fog....that's what he wants for my health??? No thank you.
So thank you Dr. Berry and Dr. Chaffee and all the rest of you ordinary people like me who are sharing your testimonies regarding the TRUTH about proper nutrition. March on, soldiers!
Yeah, my nurse after I had a baby told me not to research anything about my health and baby and to just call the hospital if I had a question, I kid you not. Made me so madâŠlike weâre just too stupid to analyze data on our ownâŠ.
Keep crushing man!
Sir, I don't usually even READ long comments anywhere but for some reason I read yours, and it touched me. I'm almost in tears. I'm 63, and 258 lbs. I've tried several "diets", but cant stay going after a few days, even when they work! Ive read a hundred comments and testimonials on carnivore and I'm going to actually start today.
Thank you for sharing and motivating me!
That "doctor" is certainly trying to keep you on the food and pharma industry treadmill: Eating processed food and taking high margin patented drugs as you limp towards the end of life, all the while being a stream of income for both industries.
Congrats, brother. Stay strong and healthy. Any updates for us???
My hubby had a heart cath on Wednesday, when done the nurse & nutritionist came in & tried to sell the American heart association diet, I said all that fake food & I can't believe it's not butter 1 molecule away from plastic, no thank you. They told me I would be nexted on their table, I said not before you, they didn't like me, oh well
Many people that work in healthcare are both arrogant and ignorant at the same time A dangerous combination good for you to let them know they need to learn more
Omgs!!! They told you that?!
Yep keeping you sick and on medication is how they make money.
Why did they suggest the AHA diet, were his arteries clogged?
đ
My husband was told he had high cholesterol and was put on a statin. He also was diagnosed as pre-diabetic so was on metformin for that. He had low testosterone so had to have a shot every three weeks. After a few years of this, he developed liver cancer and died of that over 3 years ago at the age of 75. Having since learned about all the dietary issues that could have contributed to his health problems, I just wish I had known about all this years ago. He might still be with me. He didn't drink, didn't smoke, and tried to eat a nutritious diet. If we had only known...
It's horrible how they have tricked us into thinking fat and protein are bad. They tricked both my parents and now there both in bad shape.
Sorry for your loss, Wendy. I believe there are going to be millions of widows/widowers who, in the coming years, come to the conclusion that the mainstream medical community actually hastened the deaths of their loved ones.
@@KnackFarmer-theanswerismeat Emergencies aside, staying away from doctors and hospitals is a very healthy idea.
@@billhesford6098 We live in country Australia so try and make the most of field dressings, attitude/gumption and beer/wine. I'm losing count of friends who've gone into hospital for 'emergency' related issues (broken bits) and come out with staph or worst ;-)
@@KnackFarmer-theanswerismeat I think they are good for things like car accidents, stabbings, gunshots, bad burns and bleeding. Western medicine seems to be a dodgy bet.
Due to fainting at work, ER doc referred me to a cardiologist. Cardiologist told me that I had a blockage requiring a stint. I wanted further testing so that was done at the hospital. Testing showed everything normal. I later learned that fainting was due to POTS. I had a similar experience with an orthopedic surgeon who said I needed two knee replacements. Again, ânoâ from me. My primary care doc never realized I had POTS. A functional doctor knew immediately that it was POTS. Iâm 78, stubborn and do my own research. Back in the 70âs I told my doctor that I thought something was off with my blood sugar levels and was not taken seriously. Fifty years later it turns out that I was right. I currently have Hashimotoâs, neuropathy and POTS to deal with plus being pre diabetic. Thankfully I found Dr. Berry last week. Loads of research later, Iâve just started the carnivore diet. First change was losing all desire for coffee. I always had at least 2-3 cups daily. I thought buying meat instead of my usual mixture of fruits, veg and meat would be very expensive. My first meat purchase cost the same as my prior groceries. The carnivore diet seems to have lessened asthma symptoms so thereâs been no need for the inhaler. Sleep has improved also.
Hubby has POTS due to a brain stem injury years ago. No one seems to take it seriously except me, who sees him struggle with nearly passing out every time he stands too quickly. His typical BP is 98/60, heart rate between 85-120 resting!
What is POTS?
can you give us an update after a month?
@@wendyscott8425 Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome.
@@harvdog5669 Hi Harv Dog, I read your comment about caffeine/tea and your heart. I thought you might find this interesting, perhaps there was a connection. In TCM [traditional chinese medicine] there is a condition called "rising heat". It's symptoms include racing heart, faintness, palpitations, tinnitus, nite sweats, to name a few. And tea or coffee can cause it, along with certain foods like sweet foods,greasy foods spicy foods. I also had heart improvements after quitting tea and coffee as I had "rising heat". Even green tea causes rising heat symptoms for međ it is quite annoying. I just began Carnivore and we will see if it improvesđđ€đ

Listen well to these authentic and caring MDs
Is Your Husband okay & well now ?
But when you listen to other doctors who say meat is bad for you .. they sound authentic ... Who shld we believe ! People hv said that some doctors are paid by these big farmers to promote carnival diets .... Am stuck yet I need a solution
@@byamukamaoliver966 Look at the studies & the anectodal evidence.
â@akshay kumar I'm guessing he's doing fine considering she just made the comment a few hours ago
ââ@@byamukamaoliver966 It's def confusing. Especially when you have Dr. Berry pushing for people to join the group. He said in a recent video that there were 5200 members watching live. At the lowest membership rate of $5/month, that's $26,000 a month he gets from those people. His monthly rates go as high as $200/month. And who knows how many more members there are that weren't watching live. So we think he's doing us a great service, but is he saying this to make himself a rich man. Maybe he has his own motives like big pharma
It took me about 15 months of keto before my BP normalized. It was absolutely the last thing to get in line. I know 40 years of eating a crap SAD took a toll. People have to realize everything is not going to fix itself in a week. Stay the course!
so glad to hear this! I have been carnivore since 9/1/22 and have lost 60 pounds and feel so good! I still take lisinopril for bp and am hoping to get off it asap!!
Yes! Stay the course. It takes time. Kindness to ourselves. Keep learning. Never give up. Never.
Thank you for posting this. I've been on low carb for 18 months now and am still on a very low dose of BP drug because it has quite got down low enough. I am familiar with the fatigue that have too low blood pressure causes because it's happened to me twice. Some good news to impart is that my chin hairs (65 F) are getting finer which my low carb doc says is because I am now insulin sensitive!!!
â@@loriirons9503 Great work! I hope you get off the BP meds đđȘ
â@@jobrown8146 That is great, Jo!! Congratulations!
Are there any other symptoms you have noticed that indicate you are now insulin sensitive? I (74 f) only have 3 "chin hairs" so far, lol, but they seem the same as ever, except that a year ago, there was only one! (My grandbabe keeps me aware of themđ€Ł)
I donât need todayâs universities, journals, medical industry, Big Food, Big Pharma or anyone else to tell me how to eat. My own body, my own research, my judicious skepticism, the example of the healthy generation that came before me, my blood glucose monitor and my common sense tell me everything I care to know.
Amen..... you're preaching the truth. Love it
You don't need universities? Medical industry? Without them there would be NOTHING to "research". All research comes from doctors, scientist, physicians,.... universities support making it public - libraries and online. Yes agree it is a very difficult situation.
"Amen Mrs. Taylor"!!!đ
@@dougroberts3643 Thank you. Weâd better be our own advocates. No one else is looking out for us. Friends my own age are taking handfuls of pharmaceuticals for conditions that they could cure with a few lifestyle improvements. But they take the pills instead and the more they take, the sicker and more debilitated they get. Some even take medicines just to counteract the damage done to them by other of their medicines! How crazy is that? But theyâre afraid and they trust their doctors. Very sad.
Love that attitude đȘđŻ
I wish my brother had listened to me . For years he was diabetic , finally ending on metformin. This lead to kidney failure eventually after years on dialysis I lost him . 2 years ago I was diagnosed as diabetic so went on the keto / fasting diet . Iâm no longer diabetic and follow more carnivore than anything else diet . Feeling amazing . Thanks guys
Good for you I wish my sister-in-law would listen to me and watch these videos, she's on so much meds diabetic, both kidneys replace also now heart issues, shes only 63 yrs
I went to lunch today and overheard another customer tell their server, âIâm 40 days sober today.â So I said congratulations! Then the server said that she meant 40 days without meat! I was tempted to say, well then you have my condolences đź
And how offensive to appropriate sobriety for that purpose.

I had a heart attack at 38. Was fully vegan from about 35 to 37, then went back to SAD until the heart attack. For a year after I avoided all red and fatty meat and mainly ate a pound of beans a day. Wish I found all this sooner.
Been on carnavore for a few months now and feel incredible.
How old are you now?
I had a heart attack just over a year ago. Iâm now 44 years old.
I eat carnivore with fruit post workout. Scans soon to see how the stent is doing and my cardiac output! Fingers crossed
Also an ex vegan. The only good thing that came out of that diet, was that I found carnivore.
@@linkbass9577 Please share your results.
So you were strict vegan then switched back to the standard American diet & suffered a heart attack & you're trying to not link the standard american diet that you've had for a few decades but instead try to blame the vegan diet that you've been on maybe shy of 2years are the culprit here is Fishy đ to myself.
Again, eat what you wish but eating beans loaded with fiber does necessarily spike insulin.
Yes, one should pay attention on their daily carb intake but there is a huge difference between white sugar & black beans overall.
There are many, many protein rich foods in vegetarianism.
@@Mikinct I respectfully disagree. Many proteins. Yes. Equal in value? No. I don't believe so.
I live across from an inner city elementary school where, about ten years ago, a six year old had a heart attack. If you could see what they eat for BL&D you would not be at all surprised that this happened. Interestingly, one of the teachers from the school asked me what I thought the kids should be eating. Lol. I told her, âSARDINES!!!!â
This interview was a goldmine of info! Thanks for having Dr. Ovadia on. We need more Carnivore-educated MD's in the world.
I think so too
â@@BonPearson no
@@valeriebecker5108why no?
AMEN!
Poor advice from this video. Don't follow them. Read and listen to videos by doctors Caldwell Esselstyn, Dean Ornish, Kim Williams, Anthony Lim, William Li.
Been vegan and vegetarian for 10 years+. Have Multiple Sclerosis and Ankylosing Spondylitis but do not need medication, thankfully. Became very sick 2 years ago with gasto issues; 6 weeks constant diarrhoea and vomiting with repeat symptoms this April. Lost 20lbs, looked frail and sick and confined to bed. After getting better and having a massive sugar addiction since illness, feeling lethargic and fed up with my disordered eating, I am now 2 days on Carnivore diet. Not for weightloss but doing this to fix gastro problems and (hopefully) some MS symptoms too. Thank you for your advice, greatly appreciated. Will let you know how it goes...â€
Have you got an update for us, keen to hear. đ
Yes. It would be nice to hear an update.
That is a good story, thanks for sharing. Have you been successful so far? Did you have to start the carnivore diet again in the meantime? What has your path been since?
How are you doing?
Hey readers, many people post comments about their journey but unless they revisit this post are aware of peopleâs interest n their story.
Covid taught me a lot about Doctors and medical support staff. It pushed me over the top on how quick I am to trust without doing my own research. Thanks you Drs. For the awesome discussion I learned a lot.
Me too!
It opened my eyes.
I followed my gut.
Years of experiences with doctors...
Woke up.
Now i know, i am on my own.
No doctor has the intention to cure, but prolongue issues, which they 'manage' with their protocols.
Absolutely! Nearly everyone listened to Dr Fauci and his BS and thought he was God. I wanted to puke! The man should be arrested!
When I was in school the teacher asked who ate bacon and eggs for breakfast? and all most all the kids raised their hands then she asked who ate oatmeal for breakfast? and a girl and I raised our hands. We ( the girl and I are both very short 4â11 she was about the same height.) All the other kids were taller. Iâm beginning to think it wasnât just coincidence. This was 55 years ago.
Are your and your parents short too?
We didn't get eggs and bacon ..lm 5'8
My father when a kid in the era of WW2 ate mostly oats, with milk. No much meat, veggies, etc. Sometimes he trade butter in the black market with his skills to repair broken radios! He was a kid and understood how radios worked.
He grew quit big for its generation, but i guess...he would of been more tall, if he had access to meat, eggs, more meat.
In Germany all kids where send at 1 point to farmers who had more food available and he stayed 1 year. The FĂŒhrer obligated the farmers to take children in their homes to have food, because of the famine.
62 years old, retired, 5'9", 200 pounds, almost 5 weeks ketovore, BP 121/72, no medications. I am finding that I don't need the afternoon nap anymore. My goal is to reach 160 pounds or whatever my natural weight should be. I was 145 in high school.
Excellent, no meds here as well!
5'9 and 171. no meds. BP 100/60 when i wake up. those last 5 pounds never want to leave! haha. on the belly, of course. but i'm a Paleo omnivore. maybe you'll have better luck!
Keep up the fight. Good luck@
Best wishes! I attained high school weight BECAUSE I was chasing a low insulin number. Once I conquered the high insulin, the weight came off naturally. Fatty meat, eggs, bacon and butter form the core of my diet. My only plants are olives, sauerkraut and sour pickles (Iâm recovering from oxalate poisoning).
Listen to your body!
Similar metrics here but my BP dropped after 2 weeks carnivore. Stay the course!
What perfect timing. Was diagnosed with early/Stage 1 congestive heart failure last week and, in determination to find a way to reverse it, a quick CZcams search brought up Dr Eric Westman's video about reversing CHF with keto and how the heart thrives on ketones way more than glucose. Already getting some relief of the shortness of breath with the fluid coming off from reducing carbs by going carnivore.
I also remembered you mentioning about the heart and ketones during various livestreams but I never paid attention since I always thought my heart was perfectly healthy.
And now this video popping up today...woohoo! Thank you for everything you do and the info you continuously work to get out to the public, Dr Berry!
You can do it, Sofia. Dr. Berryâs videos are excellent for getting all the basics of fixing the underlying causes for ill health.
CHF is caused by eating sugar and having elevated insulin.
If you fix the root cause you can reverse CHF...
Dr Westman is excellent! Definitely watch his videos.
I'm glad you didn't just accept the diagnosis and give up. I think you will be a success story!
Great timing indeed!! All the best to you sophie đ€
My cardiologist put me on keto.
Who and where is your cardiologist
Good Dr â
Lucky!!!!
I had a PCP and two cardiologists say keto is king. Some doctors care enough to learn the truth and care for their patients instead of following shady studies funded by lobbyists. â€
What about the fiber and microbiome maybe we need some greens?
Dr. Berry has been cranking out the info!!! My deepest thanks to you and your wife and all the others who are trying to bring to the public the truth. Many blessings and prayers for those who suffer needlessly and who have died like my friend Bill, who died far earlier than he should've April 12, 23 because his doctors did not understand metabolic dysfunction.
u all know THE TRUTH , however most of people WILL IGNORE it as long as they can
Is he a general practitioner? Berry?
Dr. Ovadia was right on the money. I was on Repatha and a combo statin, my cholesterol went from being over 500 total to 102 over the course of a couple of years. My LDL went from over 300 to 57. I was the compliant patient who took all of my scripts and who consistently showed NO coronary artery disease on cardiac cath and yet had a massive heart attack on 9/20/21. I also had terrible brain fog, memory loss, hormone imbalance, major leg crams and leg pain, overall terrible fatigue and just felt awful. I believed that dropping my cholesterol would prevent a heart attack and yet it didn't at all! I was on these meds from 2016 till early this year, when I decided to take my health back into MY hands because life was terrible. The side effects of these medications were awful. Never again.
Hi Rebecca. I have something called the MTHFR gene. It is a gene that can cause clotting. I found out I had it after getting some blood work done when I was having trouble getting pregnant. My OBGYN suggested I see a hematologistist-oncologist because he never heard of this gene. The bloid doctor told me both parents must have the gene for it to be passed on to their children. That's how it was passed on to me and probably my brother and twin sister. they still haven't been tested for it. From what I have read that if everyone was tested for this gene and knew they had it, there may be less people having heart attacks and strokes. Unfortunately, many doctors have not heard of this gene. it will probably take some of your own research, but it may be worth looking into and getting checked for it. I wish you well.
I would love to know what your hormonal imbalances are and I'm so grateful you're sharing your story. I am thinking of starting to come across. Maybe starting in a podcast where people can tell their stories because it seems to me. It's not getting out there period I love to hear how people are healing themselves and getting well without conventional doctors. And no one is opening up their eyes as quickly as we are. Period I have not changed my diet. I have PCOS which I hear is a diabetic disorder. It's a hormonal imbalance. How did you get yourself better? What kind of hormonal imbalance did you have by chance? Did you have any hair loss
â@@kathyt.1939I have heard of the MT Hf R gene. But when I Google it, there isn't very much scientific evidence. What made you decide to look into the gene? Could I ask what was possibly wrong with you? And what are the things that are helping you to get better
â@@kathyt.1939I purchased the 23 and me, but I can't seem to locate the M. T Hf R gene, is there a way to send your raw data to someone question marki would like to know more of this. However when I keep looking into a deeper some see it's just no scientific evidence
I have been on carnivore for a few weeks now. Everyone thinks Iâm crazy. I have gone down from 175 lbs to 161lbs. I know this seems like a small difference but I have not been able to get below 168lbs for all of my 20s. I am turning 30 in a few weeks. I feel good, have almost no anxiety (I am on depression and anxiety meds). I just went to a dinner party and ate lots of carbs. My horrible heart but is back all of a sudden in full form. I have had heartburn since being a child but it went away on carnivore. I am going to keep going because I am getting results at last. If you havenât tried this, do it, there is nothing left to lose.
How are you feeling? I have been on a health journey for 3 years trying to find the ways to heal our bodies with food and herbs. Went Keto and IF and started feeling fantastic. If I fall off the diet, I start feeling like poo. Found dr Peter Osbourne on you tube and learned all about what grains do to us. So interesting to listen to him. My body has healed of so much! I do ketovore, right now. Considering going full carnivore.
Now that I'm 74 and about 50 pounds overweight, I have reevaluated my diet and I have switched to Keto. I have lost 20 pounds in two months, which might not be as dramatic a weight loss as some but still encouraging!
I encourage everyone who is concerned with their weight and health to consider going to Keto or Carnivore or a combination of the two. I can still eat most of the food that did before, but I have given up potatoes, bread, pasta, and fruit. And most of those food items have low-carb substitutions too! So, good luck and cheers! You don't have to eat just salad to lose weight!
In fact, you don't have to eat salad at all!
Good luck on your journeyđđđžđđŠ When I started to run on ketons, I felt true feeling of freedom; freedom from constantly carrying âhealthyâ snacks with me, freedom from insulin drops, clammy palms, shaking, passing out. Nowadays, I eat carnivore, in 6 hours windows. Rest of day I drink water and fast. Once a year I do a nice 7 to 9 day water fast, to recalibrate. I feel healthier, fitter, mentally more resilient and looking towards best years of my life yet to comeđ I started this journey in desperation in 2016 Best decisions everđ God blessđžđđđ
20 lbs is good!!! Keep going!!
Again, it's all in moderation.
Simply being in a small 500 caloric deficit with adequate protein.
Stop drinking soft drinks, white sugar & sugary cereals.
Whole Grain Pasta doesn't spike insulin.
Whole grain bread or Sourdough bread do no spike insulin either.
Steel Cut Oatmeal without added sugars.
There's a ton of fruits that don't spike insulin, google them.
Balance is the key
20lbs is significant for two months! Thatâs 2.5 lbs / week, which is a safe amount to lose; good pace
@Michael Piccirilo Your recommendations are malignant. I either question your intentions or your judgement.

Cardiologists is trying to force rapatha on me right now (along with eating margarine and cutting my red meat).đ€Šââïžđ€Šââïž it is so sad you have to follow the money trail instead of being able to trust your doctor. I donât want to have another MI but I donât trust Dr advice to help me. Iâm pretty strict carnivore. Canât wait to hear what you say at KetoCon next week. See you there. Thank you both for being straight shooters! â€đȘđ„©
Margarine?!
Margarine and the side effects of diabetes. Middle finger salute and leave,! Most doctors aren't helpful!
@@ToriLynnH margarine
I am 100% on your side! For years Iâve pondered on this subject and much to my surprise it was red meat đ„© along with whole milk dairy đ„ products and vegetables đ„. I still have family members who keep telling me that red meat đ„© is going to lead to clogged arteries, heart attack, and of course gout. Itâs hard to believe that after 5 decades the AHA and ADA have never đ changed their minds. If red meat đ„© doesnât cause gout then I donât know đ€·ââïž what does. So hard to find anything reputable that is unbiased.
My post stint surgery recovery team instructed me to consume butter rather than margarine!
I have had an egg and a 1.5 oz portion sausage or ham every morning for the past 10 years. My total cholesterol is 110, HDL is 46 and my LDL is 51. Also have a slice of sharp cubes every morning. Cut out mayonnaise and replaced it with Sour creamâŠ
Life is good. Dietitians only seem to know what they have been taught rather than data!
In India, sometimes during the 1980s, perhaps around 1987/88 onwards, we started seeing a lot of advertisements skillfully promoted by medical practitioners regarding the benefits of different types of non-traditional cooking oils. These advertisements were additionally backed up with a similar message during visits to doctors.
The consequence is that in the following decades cardiovascular diseases seems to have skyrocketed. Now, more people are progressively reverting to the traditional cooking oils like sesame oil, peanut oil, mustard oil, coconut oil etc. which our ancestors have consumed over a millennia, without much adverse health effects.
Similarly, most advertisements asking us to change our food habitat with something "more healthy"...I always take these with a bit of salt, preferring to do my own research.
And your body will simply process "a bit of salt," it's not a problem,
Are u saying olive oil isn't good ?
good to know if you cook with full fat pure ghee and keto so good and you can eat chicken or fish since I know in India that cows are sacred in the mainstream Hindu religion there. Can the religious Hindus eat eggs ? Must be tough to do keto diet there due to diet restrictions.
Got more out of this than what my Doctor shared in 10 years â€
I am watching this from my hospital bed having had a heart attack yesterday. I had a stent put in.
Breakfast this morning was as follows: banana, bread roll, margarine, jam, Wheetbix, low fat milk.
We have a long way to go.
It's so sad to hear that, I had a friend that was sick in hospital, he was less than 100lb, and was given chocolate milk shake every couple of hours, (as he couldn't manage solid food) he died within a week, tbh he didn't do himself any favours health wise, but as I was visiting I was appalled by the crap that the patients were being fed. đą
@@timguinn5376 Thanks Tim, now they want to put me on a statin.
@@neilfrasersmith Their ignorance about how much a good diet could be helping you, should be classed as a crime.
I'm sure that whomever gave you your 'food' thought that they were being helpful, I hope one day soon, they will get the message, and every doctor will be more knowledgeable.
I hope you get back to full health, once the doctors stop messing around with you.

Nooo! Dont do it! Jist say no! Your body will fall apart if you take that! I had a stroke last week and they put me on that. I took it for 4 days and began to notice my skin was changing its texture and i felt achy where i didnt before. I got off it. The dr. Said, "Your cholesterol isn't high. Here, take this jist in case....really?" Like fix what isnt broken? Perhapse, make him take more blood tests in addition to LDL to PROVE you NEED the statin.
Thank You both. I have a family history of cardiovascular issues as well as diabetes that have haunted us as children an adults. Discovering this way of life and talking about the how we got here and how it's changing is really a blessing for All people. So grateful for your work!!!
Hah! 10 days into the carny diet. Lost 7 kg. Chronic back pain gone away. I feel better, but cannot explain it quite yet. Feel calmer. Hopefully will sort my chronic fatigue of 32 years. Thanks so much. From the UK â€â€
Really? My parents forced me to eat meat and eating red meat made my stomach feel heavy. I feel better eating a vegan diet, physically and ethically.
Ethically, I feel great about the way you are killing yourself. Keep it up!@@cherylween4973
My cardiologist Also does Keto when I told him I was doing ketovore he was very impressedđ. He said keep going but I had to switch to carnivore due to oxalate dumping from my eyes. Ugh! It was annoying and at times painful( like sand being thrown in your eyes) I switched mid March of this year now the inflammation in my knee has subsided ( praise Be) through a dexa scan I had severe arthritis in behind my knee cap. Dr Berry nothing feels better than being healthy and pain freeđ. I lost my Aorta from a superbug in Nov2012. Im 8 months in as of April 1st, I went from 285 to 195. Next goal is to get to 150. My ideal weight for me is 115 but for me 135. Through this wonderful proper human diet along with resistance training, walking, swimming. To just keep moving . All thanks to you and Dr Eric Westman and the guests on both of your podcasts
Wow! What a story. Huzzah to you!
Wow, congratulations on all that weight loss and finding a keto cardiologist!! Really hard to find a keto savvy doc. I also was getting what I think was oxalate dumping in my eyes. In my case it was a sharp ice pick type stabbing feeling. Got them in my toes and fingers also. Been on ketovore for 6 months, keto before that a couple months, and all the stabs are gone. The only plants I've eaten for months now is avocado, romaine lettuce and onions. I have knee pain as well. Can't imagine how much worse it would be if still eating a bunch of carbs. Dr Berry and Neisha are my heros! I am so grateful....
I also had the oxalate dumping through the eyes. Was like allergies, but went away in a day or two
mine actually started out like that, you get to the point of being terrified of opening your eyes forget about even rubbing them which made matters worse!
@@JohnQPublic345 That was the first thought that came to my mind, like you it would stop for awhile then it kept coming back. Thatâs when I decided to completely stop all veggies only then did it completely stop for me.
I am so disappointed in the Tufts University Nutrition stance. When I studied to advance my Nursing Degree, I relied on Tufts to be the authority on nutrition. I felt so secure in using their studies and research. It feels as though we have no true authority on these health/nutrition related information.

Have a look into Dr Shawn Baker and Dr Dr Anthony Chaffee x
Trust the science. Lol
You would think that people would look at 'health'care and public 'health' 'professionals' to see that they are BIG billboards for being unhealthy. Who would willingly take their diet advice?
I fell similar just a couple of days ago when "updated" recommendations was announced in Sweden, and it was still just about the same...more fruit and vegetables, more whole grain, chose plant based and yada yada. The Swedish heart & lung association keeps it very simple and say to avoid fat and sugar. So parents with ambition to provide healthy food could follow their recommendation and still charge their two year old at breakfast with the amount of carbs a professional cyclist refuel with during a race, and that trough various oatproducts, things of real fruit without added sugar and a full fiber wholegrain sandwich with some diary free cheese.
@@johannas.l.brushane2518 why would they recommend dairy-free cheese? Fake anything is bad
It's always about the money. The sicker they try and make us the more $$ they make.
Sadly, I feel that is very true!!!
100 percent correct. High profits in sugar and carbs. Low profits in fat and protein
No, the sicker you make yourself, the more money they make
Notice a difference there?
Nobody's forcing you to be unwell
This didn't just happen yesterday. It has been going on for decades. The damage has been done. Look at the magnitude of obese people in America.
It is Dr Ken's passion that gets me to listen.
Went a a whole food diet leaning toward carnivore. In less than 7 months I lost 35 lbs. and 4" off my waist. I also quit my statin. Since I quit the statin my immune system seems to be greatly improved. I feel great. Not so much as a sniffle. When I started the statin I usually got two bad colds a year. NO MORE! Also any problem with ED is gone! By the way I'm 74 years old. Thank you Ken and Dr. Ovadia.
What is ED ? AND WHAT WHOLE FOODS YOU HAVE ??
You, dear doctors are truly SAVING LIVESđđđ,
unlike many doctors đą
Don't give up!
Can I comment on something I observed. Last summer I was admitted to hospital with pneumonia. My room had 6 beds. 3 of those beds had women suffering diabetes. In the morning they woke groggy and disoriented. With a diabetes nurse present they were given cereal with milk, cup of tea, glass of milk, a tub of fruit yoghurt, roll and butter, bottle fresh orange juice, an apple, orange and banana. Within 30 minutes they were all sleeping again. Iâm sure BM through the roof. One lady woke with BM of 7. After breakfast it was 23. I took cup of tea, roll and butter and a bottle of water. At this rate the ladies would never get home. I was out in 3 days and made eggs and bacon when I got home.
BM? Body Mass??
@@tanyawieczorek6603 blood sugar
I was admitted to the hospital and when my meal tray came, there was nothing on it I would eat. Ensure, toast with Country Crock, jello and orange juice. The scrambled egg product looked icky. I self-discharged because I knew I would not eat while there.
You are both Heaven sent. Thank you for getting the word out there. I worked in healthcare and became very disallusioned. I thank God I found you. Thank you, Dr. Berry, for bringing on Dr. Ovadia
Dr. Berry is awesome! He just tells it like it is, no BS! You're both saving lives out here, thanks!

Actual doctors, most âdoctorsâ are just pharma reps
Thank you Dr Berry. I need a good caring doctor on my side here. I've been staying away from doctors for a long time. It is a breath of fresh air to finally listen to health professionals that actually care about the health of their patients instead of pushing pills that only make the symptoms go away. So, thank you again Dr., both of you! You have earned yourself another subscriber. :)
Once a scientific hypothesis is widely accepted as truth, millions of students are educated, hundreds of thousands of teachers, professors, 'experts' are building their career on it. They will never ever admit being wrong. It takes at least two generations to foster a new view in the public and induce widespread change.
Nutrition, covid, climate and big bang immediately come to mind.
I was angry. My dad was hospitalized for low blood pressure & low heart rate. He was in his mid 80s. While he was in the hospital, the cardiologist told him he needed a pacemaker. I told my mom & dad that he should get another opinion. Another cardiologist in the same hospital said the same thing. No doctor will tell a patient something different. They are co-workers. I wanted the cause. To this day, no cardiologist has fixed my dadâs heart condition. I believe he has glucose problems.
They all followed the $$$$ instead of what was best for his health. Sad

Great interview - thanks so much for all of the great information that you're sharing! My husband and I, like you, thought oatmeal and bananas were a healthy breakfast. We've been Keto for over two months now and your channel keeps us going!
Excellent interview. Thank you doctors. Thank you for your honesty. God bless you!
I am so glad that I found your channel Dr. Ken Berry! It sure is refreshing to see two medical doctors taking interest in the best health of others and themselves and being humble enough to say that you were treating your patients "in the wrong manner, because we did not know any better" due to the training and understanding you had in the past. It is a blessing too that Dr. Philip Ovadia (and I believe you might have done as well) willing to share his past health challenges, which is not commonly seen by other medical doctors. If anything, what comes to mind is other unhealthy doctors saying, "do as I say not as I do." I recall of a Cardiologist who was very obese himself telling his patients to lose weight, or a smoker pulmonologist who would tell his patients to quit smoking ... And now you are doing the right thing in your own lives and the lives of those you provide care for. Your patients are lucky to have you to guide them in the right path of health and healing.
I am a US trained RN who has worked in the health care system for two decades. It took the diagnosis and consequent death of my aunt with stage 3 colon cancer in early 2017 to open my eyes to the mess our medical system is... All these years I have provided bedside nursing, I felt guilty of my role of being "pill pusher," to the patients who were acutely ill. My job was done the moment these patients were discharged home... We never had the time to truly make a difference in a patient's life to help empower them toward health and healing. The way our healthcare system is designed is to keep people "stable enough" to live long, but dependent on several medications keeping "big pharma and medication prescribers" rich in the process for a long long long time...
My aunt did not have much time between her diagnosis and death. I wish that she lived in the US with us so that we could have done more of the interventions she wanted, but she was living in Africa at that time. I did a lot of research and found tons of information regarding other treatments of colon cancer other than radiation and chemo. She did the surgery to remove some parts of her colon, but was adamant about not wanting to do chemo and radiation. Because of that I looked for other things she could do and found a lot of things she could have done, but it was very difficult to send those things for her. I found a very strong community support too which I remain part of to this day, which was a blessing.
I have been doing intermittent fasting (IF) since early 2016, which has helped me shade some of my excess weight and keep some it off (gained 15 lbs of the 35 I've lost over the last 3 years mostly due to not adhering to the IF like I did in the past). However, I have not figure out what food group is the best for me due to the continued GERD and other GI symptoms I continue to have. I also suffer from severe migraine headaches which affects the quality of my life. Though my migraine headaches and GERD have improved when compared to the past since I started IF and stopped some of the meds I was prescribed, I still have them both. I really don't know what types of food my body likes.
Thankfully, I bumped on your video and some others about carnivore diet, which I am going to try. I've nothing to lose but ailments really. Thank you for all that you do, both of you. Last but not least, I want to ask you both @Drs. Ken Berry and @Philip Ovadia, what can we do collectively to change the medical system of the US? Do you think it is possible to transform the system to become health and healing oriented vice symptoms management?
I recall an annual conference I attended organized by IHI (Institute of Health Improvement) I think in 2017 or 2018 where they said research to have shown that the US was on the top of the list in healthcare spending, but the second to the bottom last in outcomes among 18 or so developed countries from around the world. It was clear then that they knew our healthcare system needed some major transformation. COVID-19 made that clear too and there were quite a few media present medical doctors who vowed that they were going to make sure our healthcare system would undergo the transformation it needs to provide "truly patient-centered care for ALL." I thought that was possible then. But now I see business is back as usual... But seeing you two here made me a bit hopeful again and wondered if true healthcare transformation is possible in the US. That would mean the way medical doctors are trained or even our educational system in the lower grades needed to be transformed too, so that everyone understands the power of our diet has over our health and that food pyramid needs to be corrected... I apologize for my long post, but I hope that you get a chance to read it and maybe provide some feedback. Thank you again for all that you do doctors!!! May God multiply doctors like you across the state!!!!
In our community our disabled and elderly are fed horrible unfit processed foods. The food like vegetables are often over cooked soggy and fruit with tons of sugar for dessert. Killing them softly in these Meals on Wheels programs unfortunately.
I saw my mother die of diabetes/complications in a nursing home years ago. Didn't know anything about proper human diet then. They fed her just as you say. It is horror!
Oh my goodness....same here. Work in a nursing home and our dietician is highly ignorant of PhD. đą
This is why the official Dietary Guidelines are so dangerous. They have to be followed anywhere that gets federal funding. Schools, nursing homes, the military, prisons, hospitals, etc. It's a sick, twisted, corrupt cycle of abuse against the population at large.
And same for what our students are fed in the schools. Every day, breakfast is skim or 2% milk, juice, and cereal or pastries. Lunch is fruit, milk, potatoes or corn muffins, low fat cheese, and carb-encased proteins. Everything has sugar, chemicals, and seed oils. I hare HATE to have to serve it to them. And some of my students are already overweight or even obese, at 4 years old!!!
Dr. Berry really brings out the best from Dr. Ovadia. Excellent interview with plenty to ponder here. Thanks!

Yes, thank you!
A patient cured is a lost customer.
No one ever "cured" forever. It is a patient "delayed". We all end up with the same outcome in the end. Honestly what I have found is that once patients get healthy and start playing with their kids or grandkids they get hurt and come see me more for injuries. Others then come in for stem cells and peptides to feel even better. Others want tummy tuck for the excessive lose skin, others want breast augmentation..... Customers / patients never lost. Treat them correctly and they want more and more services.
ââ@@DrAJ_LatinAmerica yes...can be "cured" forever of type 2 diabetes, inflammation, among many others. The key is keeping this woe ...it's not a diet , it's a lifestyle. The rest of what you listed is mostly fluff and vanity procedures
@@marianne1959 my point is that a "human" is not "cured" forever. We don't last forever. Sure little issues can be cured. Yes vanity and injury keep me super busy.

There is no way that these people are utterly blind to their corruption.
They are aware.
Went on carnivore OMAD with IF and had triglycerides drop from over 500 to 145 and the only blood work out of range was LDL. But it was a good LDL, the fat fluffy kind. My doctor knew about all this a congratulated me on the quick turn around (2 months) and also 19 lbs lost. Did this 12 years ago and that doctor had no idea about it. He actually wanted follow up blood work an asked again how I achieved those numbers and weight lose. Glad I have a knowledgeable doctor now.
Great interview and thank for your work Dr Berry. Can you recommend an MD in New York City ? Hard to find someone as knowledgeable as you!

If I had never eaten those types of cereal when I was young in the 60s, I would still have teeth.
Statins ruined my dads muscles. He has had horrible muscle pain since day one and he still has it even after being taken off of it. NEVER take them!

I had such a terrible pain in the middle of my chest. Having that happen twice in a matter of weeks made me get off them. That was eight years ago.
@@pattiday431 Do you still have pain?
Ever never!!!!
Is Your dad okay now ?
Whatâs sad to me is the burleson school district has been serving elementary kids only sugar and carbs for breakfast no protein at all every day.
I have very high LDL over 230 and this week I was told to take statins. It felt like I was pressured to take it even though I have no other risks for heart disease. My meat mostly diet helps me control my IBD to the point that I don't take any drugs anymore. Elevated blood pressure and tachycardia are gone as well.
Just say No....
They have to prescribe them so they donât get in trouble but you donât have to take them!
230 isnât that high.
I know people who eat carnivore who have 600-800 levels
Just don't take them...
My cardiologist wants to put me on statins because, for the first time in my life (keto for three months and feel terrific) my LDL is 123... but my HDL to LDL ratio is very good and my triglycerides levels are excellent!
I cured my Type II Diabetes and my cholesterol and blood work was stellar when I adopted this diet.

I discovered the blood sugar spike years ago after eating bananas and oatmeal. My wife, my children, and my cardiologist think I'm wrong. I responded that I am happy to be wrong if my "wrong" prevents a blood sugar spike.
What kinda oatmeal were you eating?
One can have plain oatmeal or one can have a banana , but together is an extra increase in spike. I was type 2 and tested excessively. Combining causes spike
@@ttzz175 Let's say you only eat meat. Meat has no glucose. But wait.....the blood must always maintain glucose in the 70-100 range (why is that if blood glucose is so bad). If your blood glucose drops much below 50, you had better get it up quickly or you are going to die. Meat eaters think oh, carbs have glucose. Glucose increases blood sugar. If I do not eat carbs, my BG will never rise to unhealthy levels so I have cured my type 2 diabetes. This is wrong thinking. The fatty meat is ironically making your cells more insensitive to the effects of insulin + you are also increasing your risk of CVD and all-cause mortality...
Exact same thing happened to me! I had a small bowl of plain oats and a banana to sweeten it and within a couple of hours I was shaking, very weak and had to lay down. I slept for three straight hours and was still quite weak for the rest of the evening.
â@@boomerang6130 sorry lm confused.. so meat isn't good for pre-diabetes.. sorry honest question. If it lowers spikes isn't that good
I had a high calcium score and they ended up doing the test with the dye and told me that one of my coronary arteries had a 60% blockage and another was 40% blocked. Next they did a heart cath and the doctor came in scratching his head and said that whatever they had seen on the scan must be on the outside of the arterial walls because the inside all looked great. He said that, while I had some small amounts of plaque, that there were no blockages anywhere. Go figure.
Check out how the body forms "colateral arteries" around blockages. That will explain it for you.
What's was your diet like and how are you now?
Thank you Dr. Ovadia for all the great info. Dr. Berry thank you for getting us all educated.
Ozempic is like spray painting a rusty car , instead of metalworking the rotten panels . The car might look ok superficially , but , the untreated rust will eventually bubble up through the new paint , and meanwhile more metal is being damaged by the unremoved rust.
So much truth in this statement as with a lot of drugs.
Wow, this is an eye-opener. I am a female, 56 yrs. old, 4' 10" and I was on high BP medicine and Gerd medicine and vitamin b-12. Since just making changes in my diet and getting out walking. I started the carnivore diet. Within 3 weeks, I lost 20 lbs. I needed to have meds checked, two weeks ago and ask if I could see if my blood pressure was in the range, that I could get off the medication. I also wanted to see if i could get off my Gerd medicine. She was very excited to see the changes happening. I am now off high BP medicine and now working to get off pantoprazole. I am experiencing symptoms of Gerd still and belive that I did not give it enough time. I did not taper down dose before going off the medication. My doctor thought that H.pylori may be the culprit, but I am going not test for that and try to allow more than 2 weeks to go off. I think the culprit was more going off cold turkey. I feel so much better. I feel that I have insulin resistance that is making it harder lose weight. I am so happy for the carnivore diet. â€
When I went keto carnivore my gerd went away.
If you have H- pylori I think you will ned meds but good luck.
Make sure your taking those electrolytes too! Potassium, magnesium ( not oxide) & iodine ( I use Sea Kelp) Iâm off of my HBP pills too! Yay!!!đđ»

Regular joe here watching to gain insight for my mom but I have a separate concern also. My question is, how can we, as regular people help doctors stand up against the medical system?
My blood pressure was around 240/110. Was on meds but after changing my diet it is now around 130/85 or less. Off meds now
There are tons and tons of nutritionists that still do not recommend keto/carnivore to their patients. A friend of mine doesn't dare to go ketovore because his doctor said so. I told him man they're wrong. He replied to me saying: you will never be smarter than the AHA. I said ok listen to your doctor then. He has his insuline on border.
Nutritionists have been compromised just like allopathic medicine. Ignore them.

Have you heard of "learned helplessness"?...when humans fail at something repeatedly ,we eventually stop trying . When diabetics don't get the necessary advice on dietary changes , and don't get improvements in their symptoms , eventually they stop trying .To be fair to them , their Doctors often lack the ability to tell them about how to improve their condition with a " proper human diet ".

Doctors seem to think that the human body is stupid. The body makes cholesterol -- it's not a poison. The body makes insulin -- it's not a poison. The body makes oxalates -- it isn't a poison. Shifts in levels are affected by lifestyle: nutrition and physical activity. Mistreating the body will have bad effects. Returning to a proper human diet will prevent imbalances. When you are eating a proper human, then whatever your levels are, that is what they are probably supposed to be. When you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.
" The body makes insulin -- it's not a poison."
High insulin definitely is a poison. It dysrupts every spect of the human metabolism and health...

However movement and heavy lifting is the BEST thing we can do for the body. Increase muscle tissue, builds stronger bones, cleans the body with autophagy, feeds the body fluids, feeds the body blood with increased capillaries and keep the lymphatic system healthy.......
â@DrAJ_LatinAmeric confused e exercise not good for obesity why??? What exercise is ok for someone who is 70 pounds over weight?
@@joanneclark8256 -- Exercise is good for overall health, not primarily for weight loss. You *can* lose weight with exercise, but diet is going to be the main contributor. The best exercise is the ones you will actually do. I favor walking and resistance training, and anyone can do that.
Measuring LDL as a marker for health reminds me of project worked on years ago on sustainable forestry. In the documents there were numerous metrics that foresters had to follow to protect things such as fish populations etc. Measures such as how much margin must be maintained around streams etc. When it was presented to industry, they asked why are we measuring these markers rather than actually measuring the fish populations or water quality, There was an assumption that these markers would provide a certain effect without any evidence.
Iâd rather eggs scrambled in real butter.
every since I went keto, near carnivore (I still eat lettuce and avocado) I haven't so much as needed a pill for a headache. resting heart rate is mid 60s and i can keep it around 140bpm during long cardio workouts
Only been on ketovore for a month.
Off ibuprofen as my arthritis symptoms have decreased significantly.
Off of antihistamines as my allergy symptoms are all but gone. No more feeling bloated or having gas all the time either.
Iâve lost 13 lbs and I can fast 18 hours easily which means my blood sugar levels are stabilized instead of the roller coaster up and down. Iâve even cheated once a week and still have great results.
Iâm never going back to the American death diet
â@@williammorris3334 beware of the dumping of oxalates when going keto or carnivore too quickly.
@@annamaria1972 no worries, Iâm eating some carbs and also veg. More focused on 18/6 fasting, low carb, and no processed foods,seed oils,sugar, very little bread/grains. But thanks!
Much thaniks to both Docs!
Started 2023 on keto (again), then switched to carnivore 4 weeks ago....No health problems/issues other than 30 lbs overweight ..... Dropped 10 lbs so far; workouts much easier and added weight/reps for good results at age 77 after a decade of little exercise (noticeable muscle gain....retired 25 yr fireman in best shape of my life in my 50s); much better energy level....Neuropathy in both hands returning to normal (completely in left hand and about 50% in right).... several other benefits, but not gonna spend time listing 'em.... Overall, carnivore easy to stick with, no problemo sticking to it.... Beer/wine not fun any longer, so just quit.....Don't miss 'em and wonder why I bothered to drink (3 day weekends) anyway)
Cxxxxpdz
Congratulations! How thrilling to get cleaner, healthier, and stronger as you get older!
Hello why did you switch? Also do you do any veggies?
Thank you so much for your work Dr. Ken Berry and your special guest and specialist Dr. Ovadia. I am very appreciate your lectures. I am looking forward that my husband will following your wonderful advices. I have to be an example for him, therefore I started 4 month agon with carnivore and amazing things happened to me as weightlos and better sleep all around more happiness and so on. I have a new life it is incredibly. THANK YOU!!
TUFTS gave us you Dr Ovadia as well as my own dear daughter - a great editor, actor, and narrator of novels. So all is not lost.
my endo wanted to rx repatha for FH; so glad you discussed this!!!! thank you
Awesome interview! Thank you Doc Ken Berry! After having a rough go with Metformin, my HCP prescribed me Ozempic for T2D and I injected .5mg each week. My high deductible insurance plan did not cover the cost and I was able to get samples for about 6 months from my HCP then the free supply ran dry. For a few months I purchased Ozempic from an online parmacy in Cananda for arounf $350/month. I switched to another HCP that included Ozempic in a Govt subsidized 340B plan and was able to get it for $17/month...however withing months Ozempic became the latest weight loss fad and my local pharmacy was having issues with getting it for diabetics. Canadian prices increased to $450. Starting in September getting my prescription filled was hit and miss. Although the Ozempic did helped with lowering my BG to 140s and A1c from 8.5 to 7.5, I did not lose any weight eating still eating the SAD. It wasnt until I switched to a Ketogenic diet with very low carbs (about a year ago) that I was able to lose over 75 pounds and lower my A1c to 5.6. I stopped my last Ozempic injections four months ago in January about a year after starting the injections. I think I could have stopped Ozempic six months sooner if I had been a bit more dilligent with BG monitoring. I did experience some intestinal/bowel issues while on Ozempic but seemed to tolerate it OK however I definitely feel much better being off the Ozempic juice and controlling my diabetes with a PHD diet and 16/8 IF! Today my BG was 93 before my first meal of the day and was 95 about an hour after.
After being on keto & intermittent fasting for nearly 5 years - getting off ALL 17 Rx I was on - 32:45 my PCP & cardiologist are STILL unhappy. Example is my BP as of last week was taken ONCE as 128/83 and my PCP said itâs high. Iâm 68 nxt month but I donât take ANY meds. Then my blood labs showed A1c as 5.6 - she said youâre still a diabetic - I think sheâs just jealous that 1) Iâm not on ANY meds & 2) she had NOTHING to do with achieving my great metabolic markers. She still has no idea what keto is about and I guess I not the usual geriatric patient sheâs not interested in educating herself. Iâm so irritated I only go for my annual visit for my Medicare. When she brought up my cholesterol I raised my voice and said THAT topic is OFF THE TABLE because youâre old school. My HDL & triglycerides ratio is 1.9 but Iâm STILL on my keto/ IF.
Now over a year ago I asked my Medicare about a CGM. Since Iâm NOT even a pre-diabetic I donât qualify. I canât afford one OTC so Iâm stuck with guessing and staying on my now (about 6 months) carnivore keto. So I will not know how some foods effect me. Trial/error as usual.
She even said do I understand the risks of not at least taking a daily aspirin. I said I DO understand the actual risks of TAKING a daily aspirin-one of which is internal bleeding. She shut up. I guess by understanding the âgameâ she knows Iâm not completely ignorant.
Your hp is still a little high , ditto the a1c.
@@iss8504 Iâve worked hard for 5 years to help myself as my doctors did NOTHING but maintain my conditions.
I did all the work and THEY deserve NO credit. I obviously am disciplined enough to achieve what my current tests show BUT I havenât given up. Iâm continuing. Whoever decided what is normal doesnât mean everyone needs to be the same. Example: my consistent temp taken with an oral digital or regular thermometer shows 97.6. Oh my! Should I take a pharmaceutical therapy to âfixâ that??? After all SOMEONE determined 98.6 is the industry standard????
Call it what you want but I alone accomplished my current lab results- and if you have a chance to research the so-called health authorities have changed the goalposts SEVERAL times over the years. So who really has the final say for every human being on earth should ALL have the same BP? If Iâm 5â tall should someone 6â4â have the EXACT same BP ? Thatâs absurd.
Surely you wouldnât suggest a drug to raise my body temp to what SOMEONE has determined to be so Iâm identical to everyone else! Iâm not listening to that. Further I donât intend to stop my journey. But no one can tell me my doctors would have done better. I donât want to MAINTAIN disease and that was ALL they were doing. They live in an alternative universe if they think pharmaceutical therapies will fix my metabolic symptoms. At least I did add something that not only got my #âs down BUT I DID IT WITHOUT DRUGS! Give me SOME credit and Iâm STILL on my journey.
They want you to take their drugs for life- well Iâm using keto & fasting for life. Iâm 68 years old itâs going to take a little longer than those in their 40â or 50âs. By August 12 I will be starting my 6th year. If my #âs are borderline- congratulate me! But itâs borderline WITHOUT meds. My doctors cannot take any credit.
Also I never get sick. No colds, flu, allergies-never got COVID.
So please tell me if you know who determined the BP for every living person on the planet?
I maintain my doctors are embarrassed that they canât do what I was able to do on my own. My discipline and hard work are not over because my life is not over. Iâm proud of my accomplishments.
Same history here, and I can't find a reasonable doctor anywhere.
@@vas4739 You may be proud, just like I am. At 68 it will take more time and discipline, but my results are similar, and my old schoolmates are jealous đ
I am so proud of your BP. I take three meds to get it there or slightly under. I look forward to being able to going of even one med.
I am a bit overweight and many years older than my wife. I eat everything and I also fast regularly. My wife doesn't eat this, or that, or the other. She is very thin, but has tons of health issues. The other day she was describing a problem that wouldn't go away and asked me what I thought she should do about it as every doctor and every prescription had failed. I told her "eat more fat" and your problem will go away.
Like fat as in avocado s too??
Thank you again for the wonderful info. I've printed info for my medical practitioner and she's been very receptive.
