- Dr. Jeffry N. Gerber is a board certified family physician and owner of South Suburban Family Medicine in Littleton, Colorado, where he is known as “Denver’s Diet Doctor”. He is also a co-convenor of the upcoming 'Low Carb Breckenridge 2018'.
Dr. Gerber has been providing personalised healthcare to his local community since 1993 and continues that tradition with an emphasis on longevity, wellness and prevention.
Nutrition and its effects on health are areas of interest for Dr. Gerber and he has been focusing on prevention and treatment programs using low-carb high fat (LCHF), Ancestral, Paleo and Primal diets to treat and prevent chronic conditions.
Dr. Gerber maintains a database of patients, looking at weight loss and improved cardio-metabolic markers, demonstrating the benefits of these types of diets. He speaks frequently about these important issues to patients, the community and other health care professionals.

This described exactly what happened when I fired my previous doctor, having been keto for a year, when it became apparent I knew more about my nutritional needs than he did.
Best to avoid statins and ignore the AHA...
After all,the American Heart Assoc was a tiny little inconsequential group before Procter & Gamble, the makers of Crisco, decided they wanted to market their solidified vegetable oils - originally invented for candle and soapmaking - as food. This is like that old Saturday Night Live skit: 'It's furniture polish! No! It's a dessert...! Don't fight, kids - It's BOTH!!'
Their funding is still mostly from industry - large, powerful corporations that profit from the sake of dangerous food-like substances, and drugs.
i'm healthy. this all scares me. if i know somebody overweight in my family, 0 safe advice seems to exist. i try to eat whole foods, have been building musc;e, cut down on empty carbs, esp sugars. i never get enough fiber
Cut out fats, not carbs.
Dr Jeffry Gerber has a CAC score of zero. He is on very low carb diet for 25 years. Must be doing the right thing.
What are your thoughts on cyclical Keto diets?
Went to see my cardiologist again today. Many, many 'Top Doctor Washingtonian Magazine' plaques on the wall. 30 years in the business at one of the top cardiac hospitals in the Washington DC area. LDL 178, HDL 76, Trigs 135. Trig/HDL 1.7. Chol/HDL 3.7. Looked good enough for me. He once again only focused on LDL and prescribed me another statin that I won't take. I asked him why our liver makes so much cholesterol if its killing us. He said our liver doesnt make cholesterol it only gets rid of it??? He said LDL kills us and statins increase the receptors in the liver to get rid of it before it does. He said we get LDL cholesterol from meat and oils? He did not know that the liver manufactures cholesterol. I know more about cholesterol from watching youtube than he does. How is that possible?
Some scary stuff...
Oil Can k
The purpose of Lipoproteins is to move fats and nutrients to tissues throughout the body. Statins increase the chances of developing ALS among other problems including memory loss.
Ldl is not even cholesterol lol. Ldl is a form of lipoprotein which is used to transport cholesterol as well as other fats back tothe liver. The dangerous lipoprotein is small dense ldl particles that occur when ldl cholesterol is glycated, oxidized and then become infoamed in the arteries. This happens because of sugar. Cholesterol is an essential nutrient. Ldl is crucial. Sugar is poison and yet these doctors have no idea what they’re talking about and still recommend 5 servings of carbs a day 🤦🏼♂️
Oil Can i’m going through the exact same thing right now with my doctor, he’s upset with me also because he feels I need to be on statins and of course through my research on CZcams I to have found out that I know more about this than he does, apparently! Knowledge is power, I found your comment helpful 👍
Idiocracy is a pretty good documentary, it may have started as sci-fi, but as time goes by I realize how accurate it actually is.
I love this presentation, really well explained and easy to understand. Your patients are really lucky!
Let's be honest. If the body produces cholesterol itself even during fasting, then it must be highly important stuff.
Why is that so hard to see ?
Have some doctors an 'Ancel Keys'-disorder ?
Andy, I'd call it "The World's Most Successful Brainwashing"
Not only the liver produces cholesterol but EVERY SINGLE CELL IN THE ENTIRE BODY. That is significant and shows how important cholesterol is. The human body can't simply leave it up us whether we want to consume it or not, each cell must have a secure source. That is why each cell produces its own cholesterol.
As for Statin drugs, read the book from Dr. Hannah Yoseph.
I meant to add: Statins kill the production of cholesterol in each cell, crippling the cell and causing it to turn cancerous.
@@AnimaLibera ..aside from "History" but I digress....
important it must be, how much you need, what kinds, another question. You need fat too. You need glucose.
We can't get these particle testing in the UK. They only go by total cholesterol they don't even talk about HDL and tryglicerades unless you ask . Our GPs need re educating. My GP wants me on statins my cholesterol skyrocketed after starting keto went up to over 9. The highest ever but my tryglicerades and HDL were good but LDL high . Ive not started them. I'm not overweight don't smoke and do cardio and weights at least 5 times a week .
Thank you. Excellent presentation. I'm a (non-lean) LDL hyper-responder after going low carb to remit my diabetes. My trig/HDL ratio is good and I am metabolically healthy. I have a benchmark CAC score of 0 at age 65 (test done after low carb for 1 year so most likely unrelated to diet change). The cardiologist who was very pleased that I had changed to low carb and lost 22.5% of my starting weight without trying wants me on a statin but I've said no.
Really great information thank you!
We are learning, but there is still more to learn! Sadly, we all must die someday. But better later than early. Get on the LCHF wagon to get the best.
This was way better than I expeccted. Great to here from a lowly GP who's on the ground having to deal with patient care. Amazing point about the CIMT not correlating with outcomes. I've been looking for a non-invasive way to prove I have no actual plaque, but I guess that's not it. I might have to take the Calcium CT scan, although it's a lot of radiation.
Research the Heart Flow Test.... medicare recently approved it for coverage. Not available everywhere, yet. Check out Loyola in Chicago. It maps the entire heart vasculature and shows plaques or narrowing.
All you need to do is look at all the people who are on LCHF 50gr carbs per day verses the standard American diet and compare their health profiles. Look at their blood markers and ask them how they feel on their diets. That should tell you everything.
Dr Gerber is excellent !!!
This was reminding me of The Fugitive movie plot, and then he said "liver toxicity", I was like woooooot?! I wonder was the plot based on historical events or was it simply fictive?
I often remember that scene at the end of the movie during the conference! So prophetic!
You switched the samples!
His final political point is well taken, and may explain a lot of the heat in the debate with vegans .There's no way governments can continue to underwrite the costs of metabolic syndrome/insulin resistance/heart disease without preventative measures being mandated - yes, mandated. But will they mandate low fat, or low carbs? That's the fight - with billions of industry dollars at stake - that is taking place on youtube and social media generally. Bloomberg has a record of taxing carbs as mayor of NY, so it will be interesting to see how he addresses health care if he's a serious candidate
Brilliant! Very informative speech!
Very good talk!
How a gentleman who is handsome not married?
Is it possible that prolonged fasting (>=3days) reduces HDL? That would match the observation that "low-fat diets" decrease HDL if you think about it as some sort of deficient diets.
Nothing I do raises my HDLs out of the mid-30s... and you can't get a calcium score without a doctor's referral and that is difficult to get (and costly.)
Get another doctor that is LCHF friendly, soon.
Did you try Niacin?
This is all very interesting but it's not helping me try and figure out why numbers are so much higher than anything his patients have. I have the "terrible threes" with all three number way out of range including the ratios. My doctor has no answers, I think she's just waiting till I get scared enough to take the statins.
Seed oils in cooking? My friend lowered his by cutting those out which is what caused me to go carnivore. He added oatmeal in the mornings though after a few months. I'm not good with grains but my numbers are still normal. I hope this helps.
Statins increase risk of developing ALS?
Super interesting!
Way of the world.Disinformation is profitable and sadly bigger the lie the more people believe it
And OMG CholesteroOol
YESS
0MG CHOLESTEROL 🗣🗣🗣🗣
Dr. Gerber wants to be a stand up comedian.
I want to hear you address severe cardiac artery disease. I'm talking CAC 1189 LAD - huge! what's your advise here?
How do I find someone like this near me? Minden Nevada?
zjon lower Dan Snow in Reno does a grest job.
Do the research, learn and be your own doctor. And most importantly don't worry, just eat right. I consider that to be a Keto diet.
"To Statin, or not to Statin ..." 😄
I am a believer. Great presentation. But sometimes I think...why are we so smart about this topic, and other non LCHF believing doctors are ...stupid? I don't know....it's seems fairly simple for this layman to understand. Am I smarter than thousands of doctors relative to statins? Maybe so. I think that most primary care docs just recommend what the medical associations recommend...knowing that they might be sued if they don't prescribe statins and a patient dies of cardiovascular event.
Your thinking is correct...
The same thing applies to doctors that performed gastric bypass surgery on ulcers caused by bacteria up to 10 years after bacteria were proven to be the cause. Or lead in gasoline, BPA in plastic, floride in drinking water, mercury in filling (and mercurochrome) and a thousand of similar issues throughout history.
Still, at one point in history LCHF proponents might have been put to death by arguing against the views of the establishment. So, at least we've made some progress. When someone believes in something and supports it for decades, it becomes difficult to accept a paradigm shift that represents a diametrically opposed view.
Yes, Todd! Yet let us remember that plastics are made of toxic synthetic chemicals derived primarily from petroleum. Even BPA-free plastics outgass and/or transfer harmful chemicals via direct contact. Whether that contact is with our beverages, food, or our skin. ALL plastics do. Some are worse than others, but they are all harmful. Mercola.com has details, with references. (no affiliation)
Then there is the ongoing damage to the environment caused by digarded plastics...
I hear there is a high level of physician burnout these days. I can imagine if a Dr. sees most of his patients getting progressively sicker over the years, that might be discouraging and lead to burnout. The food pyramid is key factor in the ongoing rampant obesity/insulin resistance/diabetes epidemic. I can see why docs, who no doubt want to help, are getting burned out.
The doctors get their information from the pharmaceutical company reps.
There must be a genetic component. My entire family consumed lots of carbs....pasta bread cake ice cream candy cookies... freaking doughnuts.... Also lots of meat including cured meats. And veggies fruits. They were born in the twenties. Very little processed food until the sixties and seventies. All of my extended family lived into 90s. All of my cousins who ate the same now in their sixties and seventies... good health...we still eat pizza and drink wine!!! Just sayin'.

Please have your LP(a) level checked. Elevated LPa is dangerous and it’s mostly genetic as I understand it. My husband and daughter both have elevated numbers. It causes atherosclerosis but damage can be somewhat controlled by keeping inflammation at bay (hello low carb... no sugar, grains or processed foods, healthy fats, alkaline veggies and good quality animal products/meats).
Bob Harper (Biggest Loser) had a near fatal heart attack at age 52- discovered he had elevated LPa).
20% of population has this genetic flaw.
MAHA!
Thanks Dr berger, big fan of the low carb community who promote the diet.
Keep pushing! if you continue these presentations, low carb "cruises" and diet books, people will actually believe it.
Simply, the patients have failed the AMA by not paying attention to how much they eat, and simply trying to shift the blame to carbohydrates.
Is it any wonder people think potatoes make you obese, when they are overeating every day? This is easy to see when any diet will help people lose weight, regardless of the macro composition.
40 going on 100... because I eat healthy carbs.
presjo , take a college human anatomy and physiology class. It will help you understand that carbohydrates cause the body to produce a lot of insulin. Proteins cause the body to produce very little insulin. Fats cause the body to produce no insulin.
The body's fat cells do not become insulin resistant. All of the other body cells become insulin resistant. If a person constantly bombards his/her body with carbs by eating them, all the body's cells, except the fat cells, become resistant to accepting insulin putting carbs into the cells.
It's like how the body becomes resistant to heroin when a person keeps doing heroin almost daily. The only way to stop being resistant is to stop using the thing (heroin, carbohydrates, etc.) that is causing the resistance.
Well stated, Kimberly! But Presjo seems to be a troll for the corporate profit and/or religous-beliefs (which can include the 'let' stop humans from eating animals, even though the other animals won't stop eating each other' fervor). Whether s/he is a paid troll, or a stoolie doing it for free.... Not sure it matters.
It's really sad if presjo is genuinely that totally deluded, but with insufficient high quality fats in the diet, and a whole host of nutritional deficiencies that those on plant-based diets typically have, it may be no surprise that thinking clearly could be a challenge. After all, in addition to the nutrients that are missing in plant-based foods, a lot of the nutrients that are found in plants are not bio-available (like calcium, which is often tied up in oxalates, as in spinach, almonds, etc) and/or simply NOT the same as from animal sources - like the Omega 3 fatty acids in flax or purslane.
With the horrible diet and huge burden of toxins, EMF fields, radiation, and now microwave radiation from our cell phones... it is really a wonder that we humans are doing as well as we are!
BTW, Kimberly - For someone who so totally disbelieves everything presented on the Low Carb Down under, and similar, channels, Presjo has commented on an amazing number of them. All saying very similar things to the comment you so brilliantly responded to.
Dr. GERBER
Presjo is a well known whining troll whom regularly cruises all the REAL science debates and has a good whiny derogatory and utterly unscientific and idiotic rant.Best ignored,no cure for stupid.
