I’ve had six heart attacks! My last was March 2018, then I found you Dr Berry, I stopped statins,metformin, plus quite a few other meds! last week after a diabetic review my diabetes is in reverse! I eat bacon daily, steak, duck, fish. Thank you Dr Berry for pointing me in the right direction! I must say, stopping these meds did not go down well at all with my doctor, perversely upsetting my doctor made me very happy 😊
WOW, incredible! Congrats, I hope you continue on this healthy path!! Funny, I am 58, had semi high cholesterol for years. Tried multiple times to reduce it following my "stupid" Dr's guidelines. You know: Less Meat, cut back on Cheese, No butter....blah blah, the needle NEVER moved! Then I discovered Dr. Berry and a few other amazing Dr's here on the Tube. Then I cut back on my carb intake and eliminated ALL seeds oils and Wha-La! In three months my Cholesterol went down 35 points. Oh, and I switched Dr's, that guy was a stooge...haha
Dr Berry you are 1000% right about the drug reps. I worked in the pharmacy at my local hospital and between the donuts and free lunch there is a plethora of merchandise to be given to push whatever drug they are selling. People don't be fooled by misinformation. Thank GOD for you Dr. Berry. ❤ all your videos 🙂
People don't be fooled by misinformation. You do realize we have a person in the White House who was not elected. Yet almost half of Americans think he was. The fact that Americans are that stupid is almost like writing a blank check to the pharmaceutical companies.
My doctor and I just had this discussion. Fortunately, I had been following Dr. Berry, so I was ready to just say NO to taking a statin for high cholesterol. I'm 5'7", 128 pounds, meat eating, lo-lo carbs. The only thing I needed was more activity. We arrived at a compromise. If I walk more, he agrees I'm a healthy specimen who will probably equal my mom's record of 96 years.
@@veganix6757 our livers make about 80% of cholesterol and if we eat more then the liver will make less and vice versa. The only people who need to be concerned about exogenous cholesterol are those with a rare condition where their body makes too much.
Just yesterday a nurse in my clinic was shaming me for refusing statins and my cholesterol is only close to the `high` range not to mention that I'm still fairly young. It was quiet mind blowing.
My former family Dr. called you a witch doctor. I now have a cardiologist who is REAL and understands. Thank you, Dr. Alexandre A. Petrakian from Tyler Tx and thank you Dr. Berry. MD
I love how Dr. Berry is not afraid to stand behind what he says and believes! He's not afraid to tell it like it is! We need more medical professionals like him!
The thing about these 10 causes is that if you eliminate some, like inactivity, that will also help other of these conditions, like T2 diabetes. So lowering one also lowers others on this chart.
I lost 85 pounds and went to my doctor. My diabetes was gone,good cholesterol was great, triglycerides were great but the cholesterol was higher than she wanted it to be. When I refused the meds,she said,"well we all have to die from something!"😶
Is true 100%. I was pre diebetic and I was taking high blood pressure medication and I change my diet for good, yes is hard in the beggining but can be done. I have 0 carbs and full carnivore. After 4 - 5 month of 0 carbs I reverse the pre-diabetic and I am off of the High blood pressure pills. Thanks God and Dr Berry because since I start watching the videos I learnd a lot and almost 100 lbs lost. Can be done if you really works with your health.
My best friend wouldn't have it. Keto was a fad diet he said. Saturated fat was deadly he said. I offered him the scientific evidence. I sent him the videos. He died of a heart attack last September 2021 aged 53. I didn't want to lose that argument, but I certainly didn't want to win it either. Still in shock.
I got my cholesterol checked recently and my total cholesterol and LDL were high. My doctor said to start taking statins. I said no. She then said to go on a plant-based diet, preferably vegan. I said no.
I started the carnivore diet 6/1/22. I dropped 15#…and my A1c went from 5.9 to 5.5…I had labs done a few days ago and c.c.’d them to my OB/GYN. He flipped out over my cholesterol levels (274) and my LDL (199). He says I need to be placed on statins- been there, done that. I’ll be refusing.
As a RN in ICU for 25 yrs I went on keto end of 2017. Changed my life and perspective of the great value of the food we eat and impact on health. I could look back over all the years of nursing and say with a pure heart that medicine is not the way to go bc I could see my patients getting sicker younger and younger. I could see I was in the midst of (hospital,pharmaceutical) a cycle of sickness. Im glad to be off the merry go round. I try to educate my pts and friends with real, true lifesaving knowledge since I learned.
I've been doing a Ketovore lifestyle for awhile. I'm more Carnivore than Keto. I'm also a survivor of 7 Myocardial Infarctions aka Heart Attacks and 2 Cardiac Arrest. I'm in great shape for being 63. I've stopped talking all medications back in 2007. I don't even take Aspirin, Ibuprofen or Acetaminophen. I have the blood pressure of a teenager. I ride my bicycle for my intense cardio workout and go to the gym. Life is great!
Mike Stephens, it good to know I’m not alone, six heart attacks and still here to tell the tail, I think I’m just to stubborn to die 😁 sending you many blessings from the Emerald Isle 🇮🇪
I've been watching Dr. Berry, Dr. Eric Berg, and Dr. Jason Fung for a while. I am a slender Asian, 5'6", now 110 (was 120 before starting low sugar low carb and sort of Keto since May 2022), not my intention to lose weight though. I am prediabetic, after less than 3 months of new diet, Tri from 226 to 97, HDL same 63, A1C 6 to 5.8, LDL 144 jumped to 206 and Chol 252 dumped to 287. I ride my stationary bike daily for 30 minutes. My doctor advised me to take meds but I refused. I asked for an advanced Lipid profile test, I had to explain to her what that was. And she said Kaiser does not offer this test. If I really want it, I can have it done out of my pocket with those private lab test site. I agree that a lot of doctors need to explore and upgrade their knowledge out of text books.
Excellent. You may want to have a CT angiogram which calculates plaque buildup in the major arteries. Asians due to genetics can have high stored fat or visceral and look thin. But since you lowered triglycerides that's great.
@@stuarthutt3740 Is it the same as CAC (coronary artery calcium) test? If so, since I recently had a CT scan for stomach issue, I was advised to stay away too much radiation for now. If this makes any sense. Thanks for reply.
@@syuen5132 your numbers look great. I agree, if you just had a CT scan you may want to wait. Did they use a radioactive dye then you should wait. Yes, the CAC is the score result from the CT angiogram. My CT angiogram was with dye and you can get a really cool 3d of the heart. I don't know if dye is necessary for a CAC score. You can shop around for prices. But if you are lowering carbs and you have low triglycerides you are doing well.
Interesting....as another slender Asian 6'2' and 170lbs, I have a similar experience. I had hypertension and probably prediabetes (I ate tons of carbs and chocolate, yes, I had a sweet tooth). I went LCHF diet (lost 3 inches of my waistline and got my blood pressure back to normal) and my total Chol went from below 200 to 274, LDL went up to 189, my HDL is pretty high 69, Triglycerides 64, CHOL/HDLC RATIO stays the same at 4.0 since my HDL has gone up to offset the increase in my LDL and total Chol. Seeing my high LDL and total chol numbers, my doctor freaked out and urged me to stop my LCHF diet. I told him, under the context of a low carb diet, the LDL and total Chol numbers are irrelevant. My waist to height ratio is 0.44, which is below 0.50 (good) and my triglycerides/HDL ratio of 0.92 (very good). There is no way my LDL are mostly the densed ones. In additions to all these numbers, both sides of my parents have no history of CVD. No stroke, no diabetes. I continue to live my best life while my PCP is fuming;)
Dr. Country bumpkin, I totally love you! I bet many drs out there hate you for being so forward thinking and honest AND WILLING to share all your knowledge and experience with us. I just turned 70, 1 plus year now on no sugar, mega low carbs, pain is a thing in my past and weigh 114 pounds, the same when I was in my 20s. Thank you thank you thank you!
My dad was a country doctor. Good ones are really good. No fancy specialists to refer to, no fancy testing equipment. They have to be top notch and they are way more practical.
Don’t waste your time and money, I am a registered dietitian and this is definitely not taught in school. They advocate a plant based diet. Saturated fats and cholesterol are still the bad guys
It’s amazing how most doctors don’t know about health and don’t even care to know. I took my 74 year old mom off statins, put her on CoQ10, switched her from sugar to raw honey, changed her diet and her blood work came back perfect. The doctor just said keep doing what you’re doing but didn’t ask what she did so she could help her other patients. I make her bacon eggs and avocados for breakfast, meat and vegetables for dinner and fruit for dessert.
I just had an RN (40 years ER) friend of mine come back the day after I recommended vitamin K2, and tell me she read that it was a COAGULANT, and she and her husband "couldn't take that". I almost cried. I still want to cry because they are my absolute FAVORITE PEOPLE! Why aren't these physicians, ESPECIALLY CARDIOLOGISTS, more engaged and focused on wellness and outcomes, since that's all you hear in healthcare is 'evidence based' and 'patient outcomes'?
They're probably on anticoagulants. They can't eat foods with vitamin k in them. K2 doesn't affect coagulation, according to recent research on healthy subjects, but I couldn't find any information about patients on anticoagulants. Of course, she might just be stubborn. My mother-in-law, who was a nurse for 40 years, insisted that sugar was good for you and didn't cause tooth decay.
@@edennis8578 Thanks for your reply. No, she left the day before super excited about the prospects of shuttling calcium out of soft tissues and back into bones and teeth where it belongs. I suspect the top GOOGLE search results. The mainstream seems to be determined to spread ACTUAL misinformation about any practices and/or products that could change people's health trajectory from decline to improvement! But yes, they are both on anticoagulants.
I had my check up yesterday. BP now normal and I gave the Doc that chart that showed cholesterol vs heart attacks that you had in a video awhile back, along with the printed free study and a link to the payed PDF of the other study. She was surprisingly happy to get it and very supportive of natural methods of health care. It is the first time I've seen her as I fired my last 2 Docs, for being drug pushers. I think she is a keeper.
Dr Barry very very sincerely I have to tell you I'm one of many people who have thank you for saving their lives and I have to thank you for what I think you save my life I was 45 lb heavier 5.7 pre-diabetes and I'm sure I'm still close to it however I'm now 207 I've always worked out every day I'm very active I have hobbies along with the gym everyday golf I just did 18 holes today walked it 500 yd 400 yd par fours and I eat chicken and meat I had two hamburgers diced chicken I do eat cold cuts I know it's processed I eat hot dogs all without bread and I don't have carbohydrates I really am diligent with eliminating the carbs that's what got me in trouble in the first place sugar is poison and I also have high blood pressure I take losartan 50 mg and amlodipine 10 mg every day but that's it the rest is zinc 50 mg vitamin C 240 mg and magnesium everyday that's all I do along with carnivore diet predominantly some veggies like asparagus brussel sprouts on occasion olives and artichoke hearts I am 65 years old 6 ft
I was on statins for 30 years. Year 15 T2Diabetes, year 18 erectile dysfunctio, year 24 skin cancer, brain fog. My doctor had reduced my LDL from 200 to 100 with lipitor and then to less than 50 by adding ezetimibe. My body wasn't making enough cholesterol for my body to function. Less than 50 is abetalipoprotenemia is a genetic disorder where you die. Stopped statins and feel great. Fired my doctor. Started keto less than 20g carbs perday. Off diabetes and blood pressure meds and my LDL back up to 200. Older higher LDL patients live longer.
Most doctors, nowadays, don't know, don't listen, and don't care. I've seen this bad progression over the centuries. It gets worse and worse. That's why you are so appreciated for all you do Dr. Berry! 💕🙏😇🇺🇸
Unfortunately, I already had had a heart attack 3.5 years ago. I followed all my cardiologist's advice on diet, but my blood pressure, weight, and triglycerides kept going up and up and up. And they kept increasing my meds. It wasn't until this past Christmas when I discovered your videos and began keto and then the proper human diet. I dropped my cardiologist and just kept going to my PCP. My last Dr's visit presented with a loss of 20#, lower LDL, lower triglycerides, higher HDL, normal blood pressure (127/84). She cut my bp medicatoon in half and told me to keep up the good work. I'm sure the cardiologists are deliberately withholding this information from their patients because there's no money in the cure. Because of that, they have violated their Hypocratic Oaths.
Dr Berry , So blessed to have you in our corner so to speak . You and Neisha are absolutely the best for sharing true health advice . God bless your precious family , and your fur babies . Your children are beautiful ❤️
During this last week's Monday night live broadcast video, I felt like I was sitting in you and Neisha's home's study with your family about, dog baking, baby crying, then being rocked asleep...ALL WHILE listening to wisdom & learning about health & healing. THIS IS A WIN, WIN, WIN WOWZA WITH ME. Thank you for sharing and doing so in this way! You have found a way to become everyone in this world family doctor!!! Have you have it set up yet for those who do not speak English to have other language translation options??? World domination no BS doctoring!!! BRAVO!!!
Oh Um- I was diagnosed with D type 2 ,.... 7.4 a1c after feeling super sleepy after eating food and seeing doc-- that was 3 months ago-HE gave me atorastin-- I listened to doctor berry and cut out all sugars ,crackers, grains, soy, corn, potatoes, rice and more- I started eating healthy fats,grass fed eggs and meat only, - after listening to 6 hours of Doctor Berry (while working on computer editing), I started what he said, NEVER felt hungry, and filled up every day- Even with Intermittent fasting I dont feel deprived- I drink grass fed butter and coffee, and 5 hours after a full 8 hours sleep, I eat once a day- I have never dieted in my life and never really paid attention to GMOS in foods and after starting this I have never felt better -I met with fatty liver doc, separate issue ) and he did my A1-c after only 3 months just to check? The fatty liver is effin gone-My numbers are 5,2 and I lost 34 of the 50 I was over weight! NO ONE can beleive it! My stomach went away- I thinks its carbs cut of course, BUT I also think it is stopping all GMOs and chemicals in food! I threw out so much in my fridge that I DIDNT know had msg and other bad stuff- I DONT feel deprived and love filling up with non tainted food! Presto IT WORKED DUDE! The last question I asked 3 months ago, (Never got an answer with Dr Berry) was "can i still eat ezikeal bread? I decide to stop that as well! I also stopped bad OILS---I only have extra virgin olive as well as avocado! I also have stopped lectins in my food and paying attention to Deuterium,(added D-3 10,000 and magnesium supplements-- and making sure grass fed- Its a buck more, and 2 bucks more, but DUDE I feel great -Not counting weight loss and reversing diebetes, I feel clear and happier and more focused! The food industry has tought us won! I stoppe Atorastin! Thanks you ! 3 months! btw-The only carb i am eating is a few strawberries and blueberries on occasion!
I've been down that road. I was on atorvistatin and Lisinapril. Started a keto diet, lost 40 lbs, quit both narcotics, and feel better tha I have in years.
My triglycerides were too high to read, I was pre-diabetic, and my autoimmune disease and arthritis were bad. Now my cholesterol numbers are normal, pre-diabeties is no longer a concern and my autoimmune disease and arthritis are controlled. I have lost 40 pounds and am feeling much better on the carnivore diet! Thank you Dr. Berry!!
I have most of those risk factors but they have greatly been improved since I started following you and others. I've lost 85 pounds since starting in October and now I'm focusing more on body recomposition rather than weight loss.
Thank you so much! My doctor just retired, and I have my first appointment with my new doctor next week. Need good information to help them understand why every time we raise my insulin dosage my blood sugar eventually starts creeping back up again, and again and again and again and again... No matter what I eat. You would think diabetes specialists would figure out on their own that something is going very, very far from the script big pharma has them repeating, and the results they've been told to expect. The world we're living in is nutty enough, without my care team proving Einstein that got the definition of "insanity" right on the nail's head.
"Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results” absolutely love this quote and wish more people understood it/ascribed to it.

Wish I could have shared this with my dad, he passed in 2012 due to complications from type 2 diabetes. I’ve been listening to you and I’m dropping my weight via carnivore and keto, stopped smoking years ago (1995) I’m so glad you are educating everyone and I’m sharing your videos with friends. Thank you
U are a legend Dr. Berry, most doctors these days just want to get u in & out, they don't want to listen to ur point of view, I lost my partner late last year as he was misdiagnosed that's why I started keto & am doing great 👍
Sooo sorry about your loss...how are you doing? Hopefully upon finding the health wisdom of Dr.Berry and Neisha, taking charge of your own health and becoming your own advocate may help prevent any misdiagnosis happening jn the future for you. Have you had positive outcome from Dr Berry and Neisha's input?
Doctors get butt hurt when you let them know you’ve researched stuff. It’s like they get their diploma and then decide to not learn anymore. Really sad that they would put that much expense and effort and time into 8 to 12 to 16+ years of training only to cut it off there because they are now a “know what’s best” doctor. And the remarks they make assuming they know health and there is no way you do because you don’t have that framed piece of paper like they do. Thanks for what you do DR.B
Our doctor...not even a doctor, a PA, gave my husband a statin and he took it. Against my knowledge. then his Calcium went up. Now Im a nobody housewife, but even Im smart enough to research stuff. I knew that a statin can raise calcium levels, but she is still trying to figure it out. Now after a long and heated butt chewing to my husband, He is going to listen to me now. also he is a diabetic, but thinks he can still eat his snack garbage because he is on januvia and metformin. I told him this was just the first of many issues he will have taking statins and not being more responsible with his health. Im pretty persuasive....so I believe he is going to start doing better. Pretty sure he is going to be bingeing your videos!
Thank you, Dr Berry. My results came back before my internist talked to me about my taking a statin drug. Granted, my LDL has been elevated so I new that my results would still be elevated, but I’ve been working diligently on lowering my A1C. My HDL is good. When my results came back, my A1C came back a little lower, n I was excited. Took me 2 months. So I know that with more time, I am confident that I can lower it further. My LDL of course was high, but I have been inactive in the last 2 months since my foot surgery. Once I get up to speed again, I can get back on my daily dog walks of 4-5 m/d. This is in addition to my other workouts. My physician knows I have an aversion to taking meds. I always err on the side of caution and try to ‘fix’ the problem with lifestyle and diet modifications first.
If you subscribe to what Dr Berry is saying, why do you focus on LDL? I am 100% on board with this vid, and have an impaired diabetic, obese 71 yr old wife. She had a brain aneurysm rupture 17 years ago, and has been impaired ever since, cognitively and functionally. Lucky she is still here... I have been on the low carb train for at least two decades, but distractions and work as well as being a full time care giver have inhibited my dedication, opting for quick and easy instead of healthy. But at one point in late 2019 I got thing going very well and I saw what is possible I got her A1c down form nearly 8 to 5.4. Then started this cycle of hit and miss that is my normal. She is now at 7.1. I know I can reverse both her weight and diabetes I have already seen that. Just have to find the resolve again. Good luck to you!
@@TheHoth1 If the Triglycerides are low and the HDL is high, the high LDL number may indicate that the LDL particles are large which present little or no risk to contribute to a stroke or heart attack. When Doctors lump all the numbers together, they alarm themselves and their patients about a stroke or a sudden cardiac arrest if statin is not taken. I have refused to take a statin for several years as my Triglycerides continue to be lower and lower, and HDL higher and higher. Doctors and Cardiologists who were trained 30 years ago need continuing education and an open mind for new research and discoveries in order to guide their patients to good health. Sometimes I think the Doctors are either too lazy to learn new things or too proud to admit their mistakes. Perhaps they simply don't know, even with their good intentions.
Ok! I’m in all in! My wife and I have been getting a lot of BS from the medical community lately! I know you have seen it and heard all! Thanks Doc. With the internet and access to places I can get my own blood work and other things I research and try to discuss these subjects with my primary care facility it pisses some of the off! The discussions get heated! I want causation not symptoms and pills. Not totally against meds when you’re in a crisis they can save a life. My primary care Doctor would not honor my request for some test. So I went to the test facility and they told me that even though I had really good insurance and they would even let me pay out of pocket they could not perform the test without a Doctor referral! What the hell!! Our system is a racket! We need a serious reset! Oh all of the test I wanted were noninvasive!
Thank you so much Dr. Berry. This video means so much to me. I still remember when my cholesterol was high, my doctor said that l should eat less fat, less meat, no coconut oil and no egg. Or l will get heart attack and l might suddenly die. It drove me crazy and didn't know what to do.
@@TerriblePerfection no, l've been doing my own research here on youtube. It's hard to find good doctors today. They are more interested in money than your health by giving you more meds.
Well, you are a breath of fresh air, Dr. Berry!!! Cardiologists also need to change the way they treat patients, like me & in Canada!!! Am a type 2 diabetic, 71 yrs old, 122 lbs at 5'4', & ate mostly plant based, but not low carb...then I had a heart attack in June 2018, despite walking about 30-40 mins/day right after work, etc. Had high blood pressure too, in the 140's-150's/90, etc I derostered from my GP & now have a Nurse Practitioner who knows more than some doctors in northern Canada & she was-trained in the US. Dieticians here also follow the Canadian Standard Diabetes diet, which include potatoes, which I do not eat anymore!!!! Thanks for this info!!!! Cheers!!!🥰🥰👍👍
Love DrBerry. I've been a nurse for over 50 years. Following your recommendations I have lost 85 lbs multiple sizes in clothes. I feel strong, exercise at gym 2 hours q mon thru Friday. I am 74 years old and life is good. Yes a still have aches and pains along with arthritis in hands but after I do my exercise the pain and stiffness is greatly reduced. I hope people take you seriously and I pray that doctors will open their minds forget their egos and help their patients with new knowledge Love your anxiety, frustrations, kindness and bull headedness ( as my mother would say). Take care and God Bless you and your Beautiful wife.
Have you watched any of Dr. Cywes, the Carb Addiction doctor? He’s South African. I know that’s no where near Nigeria, but it’s closer than Tennessee!😂 He might have some cuisine ideas for you.❤️
Doctors and guidance counselor were trying to push meds onto my daughter then I cut her sugar and cleaned up her diet and they couldn't believe the difference, and the schools give our kids candy all the time
My local hospital has a great staff, which is very important for patient morale, but the only part of my diet they really focused on was sodium, and a distant second was saturated fat. Carbohydrates weren't even a topic of discussion. What's interesting is that the negative effects of sodium (increased blood pressure) can be countered by potassium, but that never came up either. I don't blame the staff, because orders/data flows from the top down. Almost no one gets enough RDA of potassium (4,700 mgs).
Sometimes you CAN tell a book by its cover. I've never before commented on Dr. Berry's looks, but it struck me just now how healthy he looks. Years ago I went to see a new gynecologist and when she entered the room she was obese and walking with a cane. Nice woman, but I never went back. Dr. Berry inspires my confidence. In this case, looks are important, I think.
Interesting fact to me is that. I thought Keto-Carnivore was so complicated and convoluted. Its not at all. It’s so easy to understand. My fear has disappeared and mind has cleared. Thank you Dr. Berry!!
People don’t believe that if you stop eating Carbs, you stop craving Carbs. They drink their coffee flavored shakes and eat sugary low fat yogurt - smh
It's a shame because it's not dificult. Personally I love it! First diet I have ever been on and I am never hungry! I feel better than I have ever felt! No pain anywhere, no drugs!
I've been on a low carb diet since November 2021. Ive lost 160 pounds am no longer diabetic, a1c = 4.7, now and am being weened off of my statin and BP meds, by my Doctor. Thank you Dr. Ken for all the great videos. The "I can lock you in my barn and feed you BBBE..." examples are always funny but get the point across.
This guy is so incredibly awesome. Thank you for doing what you do. Not an exaggeration to say you've likely saved many, many, many lives through your content.
I have a friend who was told by his doctor to eat less meat and more carbohydrates to lower triglycerides. Meanwhile, I am on a mostly meat diet and eat next to zero carbs and have low trigs...Doctor Heal Thyself!
If his doctor had told him to eat more low-carb vegetables instead of more carbs, I wouldn't have much of a gripe, but telling him to eat more carbs was criminal.
I find it weird that "health professionals" give the advice of using a plant-based diet which is high in carbs and sugars to try to manage a condition that is caused by a carb/sugar overload.(diabetes)
I would strongly suspect life stress also deserves a spot on that pie chart but is too hard to quantify or study in any meaningful randomised study therefore doesn't seem to get the attention it probably deserves.
I have CHF. Found out 21 years ago at age 27, when I was 361 lbs. Diagnosed diabetic the next year. Started low carb ( Atkins Induction ) in 2011, and moved along ( on/ off ) to Keto, then Carnivore this year. Down to 226.. 70 more to go to not be obese/overweight. My A1C should be in the low 5's when tested next. My tris are 106, and I am walking and working out. Low BP is my newest issue. Not sure how to test for LDL p, or CRP, but I think if I can I will get my cardiologists to do so. Not sure if I will still be at risk if I get all these problems solved, because I do have a bad mitral valve, but if a patient with CHF can get most of these taken care of with diet, then healthier people should be able to as well. A major problem is they put people like me on a " diabetic diet ", and it is HARDER than Carnivore, because you always feel like you are hungry. The advice they give, is sure to end in failure. Carnivore is working though!
My father had a heart attack and was lucky to make it thru. He was a heavy smoker. The doctor afterwards told him, you CAN have pizza, just LOW FAT everything. Pretzel sticks? Sure, eat them ALL DAY LONG. My dad was told he would need a heart transplant which he didnt want. The ONLY reason he lasted 11 more years was defying the doctor and eating the meat he craved. I am a work in progress with carnivore but I BELIEVE if he would have cut out the carbs (beer) he would have had a much longer time with us. I do NOT have much faith in the medical community. After being told I was prediabetic and sent to a dietician, she told me I could eat all these foods, I didnt even eat to begin with! But they are MORE than obliging to give you a pill or two or three.....ummm, NO. I am gonna let REAL FOOD be MY medicine.
I had bloodwork done a week or so ago and my Dr wants to see me now on Friday. I'm almost certain he wants to talk about my LDL so I am going to bring him this study. Thanks Dr Berry!
Here's a bit more proof. My first HB A1C was 107. 6 months later, thanks to this Doc, my second HB A1C was only 43. I'm slimmer, feel better and still my doctors wont discuss my LDL levels .... because they don't know the answers. Thanks Dr Ken. Still following and sharing all this great info.
Hi Dr. Berry :) I don't know if you'll see this message, but firstly I want to thank you for what you do on your channel. Your salt-of-the-Earth way of addressing issues is much welcomed, and a fresh breeze compared to most Western medical ways. I recently went carnivore about two months ago, because my eczema was really getting in the way of my life! Everything was fantastic for about a month, then every lateral area on my body (save my face and feet) went bananas with a seriously itchy red rash. Nothing helps it, and yesterday I went to the dermatologist to get some more info. We haven't received the results of my blood test yet, and we did a punch biopsy (of the rash on my shoulder), but based on the presentation of my rash, he thinks it might be AplhaGAL :( But I've never been to Virginia and never been bitten by a Lone Star Tick (which resides mostly in Virginia)! Any insights? I'm an art teacher and I start back up next week, how I would love to be rash free soon! Anyhow, if you don't see this message, that's just how it is :) Either way, THANK YOU for being such an encouragement for carnivores et al, and all the amazing healthy lifestyle advice you give! God bless you and your family and practice! - Alina
I began carnivore (will be perfect when i do NOT have ANY beer...right now 2x a week) however, aside from THAT, I cut out ALL other sugar, no breads, just meat. I do have some cucumber, onion or tomato, lettuce occassionally. And my psorises has not yet improved. And i seemed to break out in rashes all over. I am thinking my body may darned well may be PURGING bad stuff that was deep within. I am just gonna wait and see what happens. I even ended up with ringworm, which I have NEVER had in my life. My diet was high in carbs and i believe i had an issue with candida. I am thinking my body is purging it. Yesterday, became so miserable and ate carbs all day. Digestive system is a mess and I feel HORRID. Ready for a burger and a brand new day of carnivore and feeling MUCH better!
I read the Diamond study right after watching this video. I am printing it and taking to my primary, cardiologist, and pharmacist. With hopes they will quick trying to get me to stay on statin. I got a 90 day vacation from this drug and don’t intend to go back on them.
Hi doc - thanks for the info. FYI - tried to use the link you included in the show notes to access the Diamond study, and got a message that the page no longer exists 😢 Keep up the good work - your message is getting out and it’s helping people regain health!
I'd a major heart attack rushed into theatre and got a stent fitted, that'll be 14 months ago on the 18th. I never smoked again and I rarely drink alcohol now. Thank you so much for your information and genuine help Sir 👍. I don't miss the cigarettes I used the three step nicotine patches along with the nicorette inhalator and I still enjoy one cartridge in the inhalator every evening, much healthier, cheaper it's a no brainer listen to Dr Berry and quit smoking.
Thanks, Dr. Berry for all your valuable, healthy info!! Do most doctors not even look at new studies?? I'm TRYING to follow a very low carb diet, with mostly carnivore, but I still fall to temptation sometimes!! But even with that my doctor let my stop my metformin for type 2 diabetes in June, but I have to return after 4 months for them to recheck my A1C!! If I continue what I'm eating, even when the temptations are brought into my home, I am expecting a great result. And I am finding that the better I feel after struggling with fibromyalgia and many other health issues for decades, that it becomes easier and easier to just say NO THANK YOU! to temptation!! Thanks so much for all your info and encouragement!! You have been a HUGE help in improving my life!! God bless you!!! ❤️🤗🙏
Hi Betty. I found it alarming that you would refer to your doctor as letting you do something. YOU should be in ultimate charge of your health, not your doctor.
@@TerriblePerfection thanks! I have realized that, now that I have been listening to several good doctors on CZcams, and what I am learning and doing has helped me so much more than all the meds and "advice" from all my doctors for decades!! Appreciate your comment and how very true it is!!
You are spot on! Doc love to prescribe statins when cholesterol is high. Mine dropped 30 points in a year without it. Was at 270 :). All my tests came back awesome. So strange how docs don’t try to get with REAL science!
Love Dr Berry's advice! For the last year I've been following a strict regime of Keto combined with IMF (was largely spurred on due to a high (494) score I received on a CAC test.) The good news is that I've lost 71 pounds....and my blood markers are largely vastly improved. Notably, my A1c has fallen from 8.0 to 5.9 (wow) and my HDL has increased, daily glucose tests have become unnecessary, blood pressure normalized, and months ago I stopped taking Metformin. The one concerning area though for me...is that my Trig score shot up from 176 to 502. I expected that to go in the other direction, as that would be the normal Keto outcome. I've seen it suggested that if you are losing fat fairly quickly, you are "activating" the stored fat/trigs, getting those into the blood stream, and it can raise your trig score in the short run....I'm hoping that's the case, but I'll check my numbers again in 60 days. Anyone have any other thoughts as to why trig scores might go up if one is being supremely faithful to a Keto/IMF protocol?
My grandfather died in 1963 of a heart attack age 50. Even back then, his cardiologists told him to stop eating eggs. They suggested Wheaties for breakfast. So he got on a plant based diet and very quickly declined and died.
Since March 2022, I’ve lost 53 lbs. #1: Intermittent fasting, eating once per day, no snacking. Meals are very low in carbs. #2. No sugar, including high sugar fruits and vegetables. #3. No wheat products. #4. Increased daily activity. My goal is to lose 60 lbs. and yes, I even cheated a few times. My high blood pressure, heart rate and cholesterol numbers are way down and I am weaning off of my meds with my Doctors consent. If not for these videos, I would still be trying weight watchers or those stupid slim-fast products. Dr. Berries advice really works if you can stick with it!
Dr Berry: Interesting how the first link, the Diamond Study, has totally disappeared from the internet - even the Wayback site doesn't have a copy of it.
You are the greatest Dr Berry. Sadly, I know much more about health by listening to you and others like you throughout the years then many or most doctors in my small town with the huge expensive medical hospital complex that most of us who live here know sucks. In fact, I was told that a heart patient here was bumped off his scheduled surgery slot in favor of a doctor from the medical complex in question who needed heart surgery!!! Can you imagine? WHY WOULD ANY INTELLIGENT CREATURE LISTEN TO A DOCTOR WHO CANNOT PREVENT HIS OWN HEALTH ISSUES? I hope the heart patient takes the "imposed" down time to investigate his condition for himself. He just might be able to reverse it by eating the proper human diet (as well as targeted supplementation to speed things along).
Thank you Doc, excellent video. My doc keep trying to put me on statins, cause my lab came back with high ldl. Im going to listen to you and change my diet, love coffee and pastries and carbs,lol. God bless .
Testimonial. My husband ate like a teenager into his 40s, but normal weight and very active. The hypertension began in his mid-40s (I refused to let him take statins) and a creeping A1C as he reached early 50s. In response to the A1C he devoted himself to keto and controlled that A1C. Good for him. Jump ahead 4 years. Last winter he started feeling angina, he didn't know that's what it was at the time, in his heart. We, on our own, went in for a couple's heart scans. Yep, he had massive calcification. I had zero, 0, zilch, nada calcification by the way. Tomorrow my husband undergoes a triple bypass. My advice? Don't be like my husband and wait until things start going south to eat right. You can not undo 50 years of diet in 4 years. I have felt a few twinges of guilt these past months in making him avoid statins. These studies keep proving I was right so I let go guilt. He's on those statins now since finding out about the artery disease and I'm not sure yet how I feel about that. My own diet? I've been a fan of all the low carb diets since my 20s starting with Atkins and now a strong ketovore who has many carnivore only days.
Your story gives me pause. I'm seeing several people saying they were on Keto and then ended up having massive calcification. Also statins DO reduce incidence of heart attacks and strokes. I am hoping that people getting calcification after Keto were already far along on that path, but more research is probably needed. I had a calcium scan in 2016 and had a 0 but your situation makes me think I need to get another one.
@@dmmcmah1, I've been low-carb/keto way longer and my score is ZERO across the board. This man ate a lunch of ramen every day for decades. His other meals weren't much better despite my efforts. He also ate ice cream 3 or more nights every week. His mother had bypass and half her brothers and sisters did too. There is a lot of blame in his habits and genetics to go around, but one of them is not his recent keto diet. His heart showed signs of a very slow but stead progression. This started in his 40s or earlier, not 4 years ago.
I have an elder in my family the husband had a heart attack years ago and the doctors said they got it from eating too much eggs LOL 20 years later his wife still won't touch eggs....unbelievable! but I am making her watch your videos little by little one red pill at a time

I’ve had six heart attacks! My last was March 2018, then I found you Dr Berry, I stopped statins,metformin, plus quite a few other meds! last week after a diabetic review my diabetes is in reverse! I eat bacon daily, steak, duck, fish. Thank you Dr Berry for pointing me in the right direction!
I must say, stopping these meds did not go down well at all with my doctor, perversely upsetting my doctor made me very happy 😊
If your doctor still thinks he is right after seeing how you have improved, then it is time to forget about seeing him/her
Thank you for you information.
👍🏼
WOW, incredible! Congrats, I hope you continue on this healthy path!! Funny, I am 58, had semi high cholesterol for years. Tried multiple times to reduce it following my "stupid" Dr's guidelines. You know: Less Meat, cut back on Cheese, No butter....blah blah, the needle NEVER moved! Then I discovered Dr. Berry and a few other amazing Dr's here on the Tube. Then I cut back on my carb intake and eliminated ALL seeds oils and Wha-La! In three months my Cholesterol went down 35 points. Oh, and I switched Dr's, that guy was a stooge...haha
Breakfast?
Dr Berry you are 1000% right about the drug reps. I worked in the pharmacy at my local hospital and between the donuts and free lunch there is a plethora of merchandise to be given to push whatever drug they are selling. People don't be fooled by misinformation. Thank GOD for you Dr. Berry. ❤ all your videos 🙂
I remember reps giving the doctors checks.
@@divahollywood757 still happens and you can actually look this up. It's public information - lets hope your doctor isn't on the list.
@@divahollywood757 Lol! I always tease my PCP about the checks from the big pharma whenever he recommends statins to me.
People don't be fooled by misinformation. You do realize we have a person in the White House who was not elected. Yet almost half of Americans think he was. The fact that Americans are that stupid is almost like writing a blank check to the pharmaceutical companies.
Where is the list of doctors?
My doctor and I just had this discussion. Fortunately, I had been following Dr. Berry, so I was ready to just say NO to taking a statin for high cholesterol. I'm 5'7", 128 pounds, meat eating, lo-lo carbs. The only thing I needed was more activity. We arrived at a compromise. If I walk more, he agrees I'm a healthy specimen who will probably equal my mom's record of 96 years.
@@veganix6757 you are an idiot and Clueless
There is a new Cholesterol test that shows oxidized cholesterol. That is a better indicator.
Your life, not your doctor's life. I have not seen a doctor for years - I don't trust most of them as they are generally uninformed IN MY OPINION
@@veganix6757 our livers make about 80% of cholesterol and if we eat more then the liver will make less and vice versa. The only people who need to be concerned about exogenous cholesterol are those with a rare condition where their body makes too much.
Get a CAC test, (coronary artery calcium), they are relatively inexpensive and will tell you a lot about the status of your heart.
Just yesterday a nurse in my clinic was shaming me for refusing statins and my cholesterol is only close to the `high` range not to mention that I'm still fairly young. It was quiet mind blowing.
My former family Dr. called you a witch doctor. I now have a cardiologist who is REAL and understands. Thank you, Dr. Alexandre A. Petrakian from Tyler Tx and thank you Dr. Berry.
MD
I love how Dr. Berry is not afraid to stand behind what he says and believes! He's not afraid to tell it like it is! We need more medical professionals like him!
Dr Jason Fung, Dr Eric Berg and few others are helping to reverse diabetics
The thing about these 10 causes is that if you eliminate some, like inactivity, that will also help other of these conditions, like T2 diabetes. So lowering one also lowers others on this chart.
I lost 85 pounds and went to my doctor.
My diabetes was gone,good cholesterol was great, triglycerides were great but the cholesterol was higher than she wanted it to be.
When I refused the meds,she said,"well we all have to die from something!"😶
I would have said well it will at least not be from a doctor that pushes pills. Last time I see you doc!
🤯 It's disgraceful when doctors make their patient's health all about them. Congrats on the weight loss! That's awesome!
Doctors are misinformation making hospitals death camps
Still, there is no need to demonize cholesterol -- that is totally wrong. Cholesterol is our friend.
That was an ignorant, sh***y remark!
This guy makes me smile with his intelligence and wit. So much common sense……
Is true 100%. I was pre diebetic and I was taking high blood pressure medication and I change my diet for good, yes is hard in the beggining but can be done. I have 0 carbs and full carnivore. After 4 - 5 month of 0 carbs I reverse the pre-diabetic and I am off of the High blood pressure pills. Thanks God and Dr Berry because since I start watching the videos I learnd a lot and almost 100 lbs lost. Can be done if you really works with your health.
My best friend wouldn't have it. Keto was a fad diet he said. Saturated fat was deadly he said. I offered him the scientific evidence. I sent him the videos. He died of a heart attack last September 2021 aged 53.
I didn't want to lose that argument, but I certainly didn't want to win it either. Still in shock.
sorry for your loss... was he vaxed?

I got my cholesterol checked recently and my total cholesterol and LDL were high. My doctor said to start taking statins. I said no. She then said to go on a plant-based diet, preferably vegan. I said no.
I have no local doctor. Don't know my levels or numbers. Feel great at 66. 🍗🥓🥩
Why don't you give her a copy of the study which Dr. Berry has based this lecture on?
@@davidpowell3469 No, they never do that. However, as a patient, you have the right to do that -- with respect.
I started the carnivore diet 6/1/22. I dropped 15#…and my A1c went from 5.9 to 5.5…I had labs done a few days ago and c.c.’d them to my OB/GYN. He flipped out over my cholesterol levels (274) and my LDL (199). He says I need to be placed on statins- been there, done that. I’ll be refusing.
Time to fire your doctor 😬🙄
As a RN in ICU for 25 yrs I went on keto end of 2017. Changed my life and perspective of the great value of the food we eat and impact on health. I could look back over all the years of nursing and say with a pure heart that medicine is not the way to go bc I could see my patients getting sicker younger and younger. I could see I was in the midst of (hospital,pharmaceutical) a cycle of sickness. Im glad to be off the merry go round. I try to educate my pts and friends with real, true lifesaving knowledge since I learned.
Thank you. God bless you.🙏❤️🙏🐕👵
Wonderful
Can you feel the love this man has in his words? Good men like the good Dr. are had to find…
No. I can't.

I've been doing a Ketovore lifestyle for awhile. I'm more Carnivore than Keto. I'm also a survivor of 7 Myocardial Infarctions aka Heart Attacks and 2 Cardiac Arrest. I'm in great shape for being 63.

I've been watching Dr. Berry, Dr. Eric Berg, and Dr. Jason Fung for a while. I am a slender Asian, 5'6", now 110 (was 120 before starting low sugar low carb and sort of Keto since May 2022), not my intention to lose weight though. I am prediabetic, after less than 3 months of new diet, Tri from 226 to 97, HDL same 63, A1C 6 to 5.8, LDL 144 jumped to 206 and Chol 252 dumped to 287. I ride my stationary bike daily for 30 minutes. My doctor advised me to take meds but I refused. I asked for an advanced Lipid profile test, I had to explain to her what that was. And she said Kaiser does not offer this test. If I really want it, I can have it done out of my pocket with those private lab test site. I agree that a lot of doctors need to explore and upgrade their knowledge out of text books.
Excellent. You may want to have a CT angiogram which calculates plaque buildup in the major arteries. Asians due to genetics can have high stored fat or visceral and look thin. But since you lowered triglycerides that's great.
@@stuarthutt3740 Is it the same as CAC (coronary artery calcium) test? If so, since I recently had a CT scan for stomach issue, I was advised to stay away too much radiation for now. If this makes any sense. Thanks for reply.
@@syuen5132 your numbers look great. I agree, if you just had a CT scan you may want to wait. Did they use a radioactive dye then you should wait. Yes, the CAC is the score result from the CT angiogram. My CT angiogram was with dye and you can get a really cool 3d of the heart. I don't know if dye is necessary for a CAC score. You can shop around for prices. But if you are lowering carbs and you have low triglycerides you are doing well.
Interesting....as another slender Asian 6'2' and 170lbs, I have a similar experience. I had hypertension and probably prediabetes (I ate tons of carbs and chocolate, yes, I had a sweet tooth).
I went LCHF diet (lost 3 inches of my waistline and got my blood pressure back to normal) and my total Chol went from below 200 to 274, LDL went up to 189, my HDL is pretty high 69, Triglycerides 64, CHOL/HDLC RATIO stays the same at 4.0 since my HDL has gone up to offset the increase in my LDL and total Chol.
Seeing my high LDL and total chol numbers, my doctor freaked out and urged me to stop my LCHF diet.
I told him, under the context of a low carb diet, the LDL and total Chol numbers are irrelevant.
My waist to height ratio is 0.44, which is below 0.50 (good) and my triglycerides/HDL ratio of 0.92 (very good). There is no way my LDL are mostly the densed ones.
In additions to all these numbers, both sides of my parents have no history of CVD. No stroke, no diabetes.
I continue to live my best life while my PCP is fuming;)
Berg is a chiropractor!
Dr. Country bumpkin, I totally love you! I bet many drs out there hate you for being so forward thinking and honest AND WILLING to share all your knowledge and experience with us. I just turned 70, 1 plus year now on no sugar, mega low carbs, pain is a thing in my past and weigh 114 pounds, the same when I was in my 20s. Thank you thank you thank you!
My dad was a country doctor. Good ones are really good. No fancy specialists to refer to, no fancy testing equipment. They have to be top notch and they are way more practical.
Did you quit sugar cold turkey, please?
@@sherryllynnjones7077I weaned off sugar so I did not have a hard time with it effecting me badly.
Best pie I’ve seen in a long time. As a retired family physician I agree that as physicians we do a horrible job in patient education and treatment!
Dr Berry is one Tough Cookie !!!!! He’s Not afraid to speak the truth ….Thank you For Saving us!!!! 🙏
I'm going to get a degree in nutrition so that people will listen to me when I say eliminate sugar, grains and starch.
Great degree to have🙌🏾
Right?! But mainstream nutrition education is just as corrupt. Bastyr University in Kenmore, WA is the best place to go.
I wish you the best in your endeavor🙂
The first thing to eliminate is seed oils.
Don’t waste your time and money, I am a registered dietitian and this is definitely not taught in school. They advocate a plant based diet. Saturated fats and cholesterol are still the bad guys
Excessive carbohydrate consumption damages the epithelial cells in the vasculature. Adequate fat helps repair those damaged cells.
It’s amazing how most doctors don’t know about health and don’t even care to know. I took my 74 year old mom off statins, put her on CoQ10, switched her from sugar to raw honey, changed her diet and her blood work came back perfect. The doctor just said keep doing what you’re doing but didn’t ask what she did so she could help her other patients. I make her bacon eggs and avocados for breakfast, meat and vegetables for dinner and fruit for dessert.
I just had an RN (40 years ER) friend of mine come back the day after I recommended vitamin K2, and tell me she read that it was a COAGULANT, and she and her husband "couldn't take that". I almost cried. I still want to cry because they are my absolute FAVORITE PEOPLE! Why aren't these physicians, ESPECIALLY CARDIOLOGISTS, more engaged and focused on wellness and outcomes, since that's all you hear in healthcare is 'evidence based' and 'patient outcomes'?
They're probably on anticoagulants. They can't eat foods with vitamin k in them. K2 doesn't affect coagulation, according to recent research on healthy subjects, but I couldn't find any information about patients on anticoagulants. Of course, she might just be stubborn. My mother-in-law, who was a nurse for 40 years, insisted that sugar was good for you and didn't cause tooth decay.
@@edennis8578 Thanks for your reply. No, she left the day before super excited about the prospects of shuttling calcium out of soft tissues and back into bones and teeth where it belongs. I suspect the top GOOGLE search results. The mainstream seems to be determined to spread ACTUAL misinformation about any practices and/or products that could change people's health trajectory from decline to improvement! But yes, they are both on anticoagulants.
That's probably k1..k1 n and k2 do different things ..
I had my check up yesterday. BP now normal and I gave the Doc that chart that showed cholesterol vs heart attacks that you had in a video awhile back, along with the printed free study and a link to the payed PDF of the other study. She was surprisingly happy to get it and very supportive of natural methods of health care. It is the first time I've seen her as I fired my last 2 Docs, for being drug pushers. I think she is a keeper.
I’m in the healthcare industry myself and nothing makes me more angry than Drs that don’t practice functional medicine. Thank you for your insight.
Dr Barry very very sincerely I have to tell you I'm one of many people who have thank you for saving their lives and I have to thank you for what I think you save my life I was 45 lb heavier 5.7 pre-diabetes and I'm sure I'm still close to it however I'm now 207 I've always worked out every day I'm very active I have hobbies along with the gym everyday golf I just did 18 holes today walked it 500 yd 400 yd par fours and I eat chicken and meat I had two hamburgers diced chicken I do eat cold cuts I know it's processed I eat hot dogs all without bread and I don't have carbohydrates I really am diligent with eliminating the carbs that's what got me in trouble in the first place sugar is poison and I also have high blood pressure I take losartan 50 mg and amlodipine 10 mg every day but that's it the rest is zinc 50 mg vitamin C 240 mg and magnesium everyday that's all I do along with carnivore diet predominantly some veggies like asparagus brussel sprouts on occasion olives and artichoke hearts I am 65 years old 6 ft
I was on statins for 30 years. Year 15 T2Diabetes, year 18 erectile dysfunctio, year 24 skin cancer, brain fog. My doctor had reduced my LDL from 200 to 100 with lipitor and then to less than 50 by adding ezetimibe. My body wasn't making enough cholesterol for my body to function. Less than 50 is abetalipoprotenemia is a genetic disorder where you die.
Stopped statins and feel great. Fired my doctor. Started keto less than 20g carbs perday. Off diabetes and blood pressure meds and my LDL back up to 200. Older higher LDL patients live longer.

@@TanyaRadic May I ask what you eat?
Unfortunately, I already had had a heart attack 3.5 years ago. I followed all my cardiologist's advice on diet, but my blood pressure, weight, and triglycerides kept going up and up and up. And they kept increasing my meds. It wasn't until this past Christmas when I discovered your videos and began keto and then the proper human diet. I dropped my cardiologist and just kept going to my PCP. My last Dr's visit presented with a loss of 20#, lower LDL, lower triglycerides, higher HDL, normal blood pressure (127/84). She cut my bp medicatoon in half and told me to keep up the good work. I'm sure the cardiologists are deliberately withholding this information from their patients because there's no money in the cure. Because of that, they have violated their Hypocratic Oaths.

Oh Um- I was diagnosed with D type 2 ,.... 7.4 a1c after feeling super sleepy after eating food and seeing doc-- that was 3 months ago-HE gave me atorastin-- I listened to doctor berry and cut out all sugars ,crackers, grains, soy, corn, potatoes, rice and more- I started eating healthy fats,grass fed eggs and meat only, - after listening to 6 hours of Doctor Berry (while working on computer editing), I started what he said, NEVER felt hungry, and filled up every day- Even with Intermittent fasting I dont feel deprived- I drink grass fed butter and coffee, and 5 hours after a full 8 hours sleep, I eat once a day- I have never dieted in my life and never really paid attention to GMOS in foods and after starting this I have never felt better -I met with fatty liver doc, separate issue ) and he did my A1-c after only 3 months just to check? The fatty liver is effin gone-My numbers are 5,2 and I lost 34 of the 50 I was over weight! NO ONE can beleive it! My stomach went away- I thinks its carbs cut of course, BUT I also think it is stopping all GMOs and chemicals in food! I threw out so much in my fridge that I DIDNT know had msg and other bad stuff- I DONT feel deprived and love filling up with non tainted food! Presto IT WORKED DUDE! The last question I asked 3 months ago, (Never got an answer with Dr Berry) was "can i still eat ezikeal bread? I decide to stop that as well! I also stopped bad OILS---I only have extra virgin olive as well as avocado! I also have stopped lectins in my food and paying attention to Deuterium,(added D-3 10,000 and magnesium supplements-- and making sure grass fed- Its a buck more, and 2 bucks more, but DUDE I feel great -Not counting weight loss and reversing diebetes, I feel clear and happier and more focused! The food industry has tought us won! I stoppe Atorastin! Thanks you ! 3 months! btw-The only carb i am eating is a few strawberries and blueberries on occasion!
I've been down that road. I was on atorvistatin and Lisinapril. Started a keto diet, lost 40 lbs, quit both narcotics, and feel better tha I have in years.
My triglycerides were too high to read, I was pre-diabetic, and my autoimmune disease and arthritis were bad. Now my cholesterol numbers are normal, pre-diabeties is no longer a concern and my autoimmune disease and arthritis are controlled. I have lost 40 pounds and am feeling much better on the carnivore diet! Thank you Dr. Berry!!
Triglycerides still high?

Too bad we can't have a honest discussion about the increase in heart related deaths since the mandated needles.
I have most of those risk factors but they have greatly been improved since I started following you and others. I've lost 85 pounds since starting in October and now I'm focusing more on body recomposition rather than weight loss.
Thank you so much! My doctor just retired, and I have my first appointment with my new doctor next week. Need good information to help them understand why every time we raise my insulin dosage my blood sugar eventually starts creeping back up again, and again and again and again and again... No matter what I eat.
You would think diabetes specialists would figure out on their own that something is going very, very far from the script big pharma has them repeating, and the results they've been told to expect. The world we're living in is nutty enough, without my care team proving Einstein that got the definition of "insanity" right on the nail's head.

U are a legend Dr. Berry, most doctors these days just want to get u in & out, they don't want to listen to ur point of view, I lost my partner late last year as he was misdiagnosed that's why I started keto & am doing great 👍
So sorry to hear, kind wishes from Canada 🇨🇦!
@@ianstuart5660 thankyou 🙏
Sooo sorry about your loss...how are you doing? Hopefully upon finding the health wisdom of Dr.Berry and Neisha, taking charge of your own health and becoming your own advocate may help prevent any misdiagnosis happening jn the future for you. Have you had positive outcome from Dr Berry and Neisha's input?
@@maureengreen8240 thankyou & yes I follow Dr. Berry's advice, he is fantastic
Doctors get butt hurt when you let them know you’ve researched stuff. It’s like they get their diploma and then decide to not learn anymore. Really sad that they would put that much expense and effort and time into 8 to 12 to 16+ years of training only to cut it off there because they are now a “know what’s best” doctor. And the remarks they make assuming they know health and there is no way you do because you don’t have that framed piece of paper like they do.
Thanks for what you do DR.B
Our doctor...not even a doctor, a PA, gave my husband a statin and he took it. Against my knowledge. then his Calcium went up. Now Im a nobody housewife, but even Im smart enough to research stuff. I knew that a statin can raise calcium levels, but she is still trying to figure it out. Now after a long and heated butt chewing to my husband, He is going to listen to me now. also he is a diabetic, but thinks he can still eat his snack garbage because he is on januvia and metformin. I told him this was just the first of many issues he will have taking statins and not being more responsible with his health. Im pretty persuasive....so I believe he is going to start doing better. Pretty sure he is going to be bingeing your videos!
Thank you, Dr Berry. My results came back before my internist talked to me about my taking a statin drug. Granted, my LDL has been elevated so I new that my results would still be elevated, but I’ve been working diligently on lowering my A1C. My HDL is good. When my results came back, my A1C came back a little lower, n I was excited. Took me 2 months. So I know that with more time, I am confident that I can lower it further. My LDL of course was high, but I have been inactive in the last 2 months since my foot surgery. Once I get up to speed again, I can get back on my daily dog walks of 4-5 m/d. This is in addition to my other workouts. My physician knows I have an aversion to taking meds. I always err on the side of caution and try to ‘fix’ the problem with lifestyle and diet modifications first.
If you subscribe to what Dr Berry is saying, why do you focus on LDL? I am 100% on board with this vid, and have an impaired diabetic, obese 71 yr old wife. She had a brain aneurysm rupture 17 years ago, and has been impaired ever since, cognitively and functionally. Lucky she is still here... I have been on the low carb train for at least two decades, but distractions and work as well as being a full time care giver have inhibited my dedication, opting for quick and easy instead of healthy. But at one point in late 2019 I got thing going very well and I saw what is possible I got her A1c down form nearly 8 to 5.4. Then started this cycle of hit and miss that is my normal. She is now at 7.1. I know I can reverse both her weight and diabetes I have already seen that. Just have to find the resolve again. Good luck to you!
Agreed. LDL is not a number that we should be overly concerned.
@@TheHoth1 If the Triglycerides are low and the HDL is high, the high LDL number may indicate that the LDL particles are large which present little or no risk to contribute to a stroke or heart attack. When Doctors lump all the numbers together, they alarm themselves and their patients about a stroke or a sudden cardiac arrest if statin is not taken. I have refused to take a statin for several years as my Triglycerides continue to be lower and lower, and HDL higher and higher. Doctors and Cardiologists who were trained 30 years ago need continuing education and an open mind for new research and discoveries in order to guide their patients to good health. Sometimes I think the Doctors are either too lazy to learn new things or too proud to admit their mistakes. Perhaps they simply don't know, even with their good intentions.
Ok! I’m in all in! My wife and I have been getting a lot of BS from the medical community lately! I know you have seen it and heard all! Thanks Doc. With the internet and access to places I can get my own blood work and other things I research and try to discuss these subjects with my primary care facility it pisses some of the off! The discussions get heated! I want causation not symptoms and pills. Not totally against meds when you’re in a crisis they can save a life. My primary care Doctor would not honor my request for some test. So I went to the test facility and they told me that even though I had really good insurance and they would even let me pay out of pocket they could not perform the test without a Doctor referral! What the hell!! Our system is a racket! We need a serious reset! Oh all of the test I wanted were noninvasive!
“Doctors are just dudes and chicks”. PRICELESS! ❤️ You are a God send.
Thanks for the work you do. I used to watch Dr. Berg, but I rather listen to a real doctor.
Thank you so much Dr. Berry. This video means so much to me. I still remember when my cholesterol was high, my doctor said that l should eat less fat, less meat, no coconut oil and no egg. Or l will get heart attack and l might suddenly die. It drove me crazy and didn't know what to do.
Find a new doctor?
@@TerriblePerfection no, l've been doing my own research here on youtube. It's hard to find good doctors today. They are more interested in money than your health by giving you more meds.
@@lowcarbsgood7847 Same here. I haven't seen a doctor in many years and don't want one. I'm 66.
@@TerriblePerfection good for you. Your diet is more important, not doctors.
Well, you are a breath of fresh air, Dr. Berry!!! Cardiologists also need to change the way they treat patients, like me & in Canada!!! Am a type 2 diabetic, 71 yrs old, 122 lbs at 5'4', & ate mostly plant based, but not low carb...then I had a heart attack in June 2018, despite walking about 30-40 mins/day right after work, etc. Had high blood pressure too, in the 140's-150's/90, etc I derostered from my GP & now have a Nurse Practitioner who knows more than some doctors in northern Canada & she was-trained in the US. Dieticians here also follow the Canadian Standard Diabetes diet, which include potatoes, which I do not eat anymore!!!! Thanks for this info!!!! Cheers!!!🥰🥰👍👍
Love DrBerry. I've been a nurse for over 50 years. Following your recommendations I have lost 85 lbs multiple sizes in clothes. I feel strong, exercise at gym 2 hours q mon thru Friday. I am 74 years old and life is good. Yes a still have aches and pains along with arthritis in hands but after I do my exercise the pain and stiffness is greatly reduced. I hope people take you seriously and I pray that doctors will open their minds forget their egos and help their patients with new knowledge
Love your anxiety, frustrations, kindness and bull headedness ( as my mother would say). Take care and God Bless you and your Beautiful wife.
Eversince, I discovered Dr. Berry. His videos have been a blessing. I wish he had idea of Keto made African foods. I am watching from Lagos, Nigeria.
Have you watched any of Dr. Cywes, the Carb Addiction doctor? He’s South African. I know that’s no where near Nigeria, but it’s closer than Tennessee!😂 He might have some cuisine ideas for you.❤️
@@KiKi-tf8rv
Thank you for the information. I will check out the South African Doctor.
I appreciate you.
Doctors and guidance counselor were trying to push meds onto my daughter then I cut her sugar and cleaned up her diet and they couldn't believe the difference, and the schools give our kids candy all the time
My local hospital has a great staff, which is very important for patient morale, but the only part of my diet they really focused on was sodium, and a distant second was saturated fat. Carbohydrates weren't even a topic of discussion. What's interesting is that the negative effects of sodium (increased blood pressure) can be countered by potassium, but that never came up either. I don't blame the staff, because orders/data flows from the top down. Almost no one gets enough RDA of potassium (4,700 mgs).
Sometimes you CAN tell a book by its cover. I've never before commented on Dr. Berry's looks, but it struck me just now how healthy he looks.
Years ago I went to see a new gynecologist and when she entered the room she was obese and walking with a cane. Nice woman, but I never went back.
Dr. Berry inspires my confidence. In this case, looks are important, I think.
Thank you, people who cut fat out of their diet long term , will have gallbladder problems , creat gallstones and then removal of gallbladder!!!
Thank you. The sad thing is most people don’t want to do the work ie low carb diet to save their own lives.
Interesting fact to me is that. I thought Keto-Carnivore was so complicated and convoluted. Its not at all. It’s so easy to understand. My fear has disappeared and mind has cleared. Thank you Dr. Berry!!
People don’t believe that if you stop eating Carbs, you stop craving Carbs. They drink their coffee flavored shakes and eat sugary low fat yogurt - smh
It's a shame because it's not dificult. Personally I love it! First diet I have ever been on and I am never hungry! I feel better than I have ever felt! No pain anywhere, no drugs!
Thank you for not attacking your audience and managing to teach people truth God bless you
I've been on a low carb diet since November 2021. Ive lost 160 pounds am no longer diabetic, a1c = 4.7, now and am being weened off of my statin and BP meds, by my Doctor. Thank you Dr. Ken for all the great videos. The "I can lock you in my barn and feed you BBBE..." examples are always funny but get the point across.
Bubba, do you eat clean carnivore?
Just stop the statin. There’s no need to wean from statins.
@@DebraRN1195 thank you much!!
@@DebraRN1195 omg I would b careful telling people they can just stop their meds cold turkey 😯
Congratulations!!! How thrilling to at last be able to take control of your own health and healing!!!
This guy is so incredibly awesome. Thank you for doing what you do. Not an exaggeration to say you've likely saved many, many, many lives through your content.
I have a friend who was told by his doctor to eat less meat and more carbohydrates to lower triglycerides. Meanwhile, I am on a mostly meat diet and eat next to zero carbs and have low trigs...Doctor Heal Thyself!
If his doctor had told him to eat more low-carb vegetables instead of more carbs, I wouldn't have much of a gripe, but telling him to eat more carbs was criminal.
The Berry affect has had a huge affect on my life😊 thanks!
I find it weird that "health professionals" give the advice of using a plant-based diet which is high in carbs and sugars to try to manage a condition that is caused by a carb/sugar overload.(diabetes)
Man, I love this guy!
Stop saying "stupid sh**". The last line was my favorite!! Thank you for another informative and entertaining video🤣
I would strongly suspect life stress also deserves a spot on that pie chart but is too hard to quantify or study in any meaningful randomised study therefore doesn't seem to get the attention it probably deserves.
Yes, so very true. Might be the biggest slice in certain situations!
Indeed. Being married to a narcissist for 12 years definitely took its toll on my health for sure.
I have CHF. Found out 21 years ago at age 27, when I was 361 lbs. Diagnosed diabetic the next year. Started low carb ( Atkins Induction ) in 2011, and moved along ( on/ off ) to Keto, then Carnivore this year. Down to 226.. 70 more to go to not be obese/overweight. My A1C should be in the low 5's when tested next. My tris are 106, and I am walking and working out. Low BP is my newest issue. Not sure how to test for LDL p, or CRP, but I think if I can I will get my cardiologists to do so.
Not sure if I will still be at risk if I get all these problems solved, because I do have a bad mitral valve, but if a patient with CHF can get most of these taken care of with diet, then healthier people should be able to as well. A major problem is they put people like me on a " diabetic diet ", and it is HARDER than Carnivore, because you always feel like you are hungry. The advice they give, is sure to end in failure. Carnivore is working though!
Love the good info and country boy common sense!
Keep doing what you are doing. I share your videos often. Not sure how many are listening but I will continue to plant to seeds.
Is kinda funny , just retired from nursing … I’d say most folks having a MI that I took care of were on statins - looks like they worked well 😳.
Thank you Dr. Berry! Low carb, carnivore diet is the way! 😎
What do you eat for breakfast and dinner?
My father had a heart attack and was lucky to make it thru. He was a heavy smoker. The doctor afterwards told him, you CAN have pizza, just LOW FAT everything. Pretzel sticks? Sure, eat them ALL DAY LONG. My dad was told he would need a heart transplant which he didnt want. The ONLY reason he lasted 11 more years was defying the doctor and eating the meat he craved. I am a work in progress with carnivore but I BELIEVE if he would have cut out the carbs (beer) he would have had a much longer time with us. I do NOT have much faith in the medical community. After being told I was prediabetic and sent to a dietician, she told me I could eat all these foods, I didnt even eat to begin with! But they are MORE than obliging to give you a pill or two or three.....ummm, NO. I am gonna let REAL FOOD be MY medicine.
I had bloodwork done a week or so ago and my Dr wants to see me now on Friday. I'm almost certain he wants to talk about my LDL so I am going to bring him this study. Thanks Dr Berry!
THANK YOU SO MUCH
I BELIEVE AND AGREE WITH YOU DR. BERRY
Here's a bit more proof. My first HB A1C was 107. 6 months later, thanks to this Doc, my second HB A1C was only 43. I'm slimmer, feel better and still my doctors wont discuss my LDL levels .... because they don't know the answers. Thanks Dr Ken. Still following and sharing all this great info.
It’s so noce to watch you look healthoer and healthier over the years I have been following you.
Hi Dr. Berry :) I don't know if you'll see this message, but firstly I want to thank you for what you do on your channel. Your salt-of-the-Earth way of addressing issues is much welcomed, and a fresh breeze compared to most Western medical ways.
I recently went carnivore about two months ago, because my eczema was really getting in the way of my life! Everything was fantastic for about a month, then every lateral area on my body (save my face and feet) went bananas with a seriously itchy red rash. Nothing helps it, and yesterday I went to the dermatologist to get some more info. We haven't received the results of my blood test yet, and we did a punch biopsy (of the rash on my shoulder), but based on the presentation of my rash, he thinks it might be AplhaGAL :( But I've never been to Virginia and never been bitten by a Lone Star Tick (which resides mostly in Virginia)!
Any insights? I'm an art teacher and I start back up next week, how I would love to be rash free soon! Anyhow, if you don't see this message, that's just how it is :) Either way, THANK YOU for being such an encouragement for carnivores et al, and all the amazing healthy lifestyle advice you give! God bless you and your family and practice! - Alina
I began carnivore (will be perfect when i do NOT have ANY beer...right now 2x a week) however, aside from THAT, I cut out ALL other sugar, no breads, just meat. I do have some cucumber, onion or tomato, lettuce occassionally. And my psorises has not yet improved. And i seemed to break out in rashes all over. I am thinking my body may darned well may be PURGING bad stuff that was deep within. I am just gonna wait and see what happens. I even ended up with ringworm, which I have NEVER had in my life. My diet was high in carbs and i believe i had an issue with candida. I am thinking my body is purging it. Yesterday, became so miserable and ate carbs all day. Digestive system is a mess and I feel HORRID. Ready for a burger and a brand new day of carnivore and feeling MUCH better!
I read the Diamond study right after watching this video. I am printing it and taking to my primary, cardiologist, and pharmacist.
With hopes they will quick trying to get me to stay on statin. I got a 90 day vacation from this drug and don’t intend to go back on them.
Clear, concise common sense. Thanks!
I like that: "the doctor ate the donuts, and you get the balonie" Very funny! Also sad but true😶
Thank you. I’m going to try and watch your videos and advice. I’m kinda desperate at the age of 75.
My husband and I are carnivore since watching your video 2 years ago. Thank you for all the info. God bless you and your family.
Excellent information as usual, Doc. 👏
Hi doc - thanks for the info. FYI - tried to use the link you included in the show notes to access the Diamond study, and got a message that the page no longer exists 😢
Keep up the good work - your message is getting out and it’s helping people regain health!
I'd a major heart attack rushed into theatre and got a stent fitted, that'll be 14 months ago on the 18th. I never smoked again and I rarely drink alcohol now. Thank you so much for your information and genuine help Sir 👍.
I don't miss the cigarettes I used the three step nicotine patches along with the nicorette inhalator and I still enjoy one cartridge in the inhalator every evening, much healthier, cheaper it's a no brainer listen to Dr Berry and quit smoking.
Thanks, Dr. Berry for all your valuable, healthy info!! Do most doctors not even look at new studies?? I'm TRYING to follow a very low carb diet, with mostly carnivore, but I still fall to temptation sometimes!! But even with that my doctor let my stop my metformin for type 2 diabetes in June, but I have to return after 4 months for them to recheck my A1C!! If I continue what I'm eating, even when the temptations are brought into my home, I am expecting a great result. And I am finding that the better I feel after struggling with fibromyalgia and many other health issues for decades, that it becomes easier and easier to just say NO THANK YOU! to temptation!! Thanks so much for all your info and encouragement!! You have been a HUGE help in improving my life!! God bless you!!! ❤️🤗🙏
Hi Betty. I found it alarming that you would refer to your doctor as letting you do something. YOU should be in ultimate charge of your health, not your doctor.
@@TerriblePerfection thanks! I have realized that, now that I have been listening to several good doctors on CZcams, and what I am learning and doing has helped me so much more than all the meds and "advice" from all my doctors for decades!! Appreciate your comment and how very true it is!!
Keep up the Great Work🤙🏽❤️
I absolutely love how you plan out ancestral appropriate 🙏🏾💕
You are spot on! Doc love to prescribe statins when cholesterol is high. Mine dropped 30 points in a year without it. Was at 270 :). All my tests came back awesome. So strange how docs don’t try to get with REAL science!
Love Dr Berry's advice! For the last year I've been following a strict regime of Keto combined with IMF (was largely spurred on due to a high (494) score I received on a CAC test.) The good news is that I've lost 71 pounds....and my blood markers are largely vastly improved. Notably, my A1c has fallen from 8.0 to 5.9 (wow) and my HDL has increased, daily glucose tests have become unnecessary, blood pressure normalized, and months ago I stopped taking Metformin. The one concerning area though for me...is that my Trig score shot up from 176 to 502. I expected that to go in the other direction, as that would be the normal Keto outcome. I've seen it suggested that if you are losing fat fairly quickly, you are "activating" the stored fat/trigs, getting those into the blood stream, and it can raise your trig score in the short run....I'm hoping that's the case, but I'll check my numbers again in 60 days. Anyone have any other thoughts as to why trig scores might go up if one is being supremely faithful to a Keto/IMF protocol?
Unysual sir check with good keto expert
DR BERRY I LIKE YOUR SENSE OF HUMOR, ALSO THE INFO YOU DISH OUT TO US. THANKS FOR ALL THE TROUBLE YOU TAKE TO BRING THIS TO US.
My grandfather died in 1963 of a heart attack age 50. Even back then, his cardiologists told him to stop eating eggs. They suggested Wheaties for breakfast. So he got on a plant based diet and very quickly declined and died.
Oh man let’s freaking go!!!!
Since March 2022, I’ve lost 53 lbs. #1: Intermittent fasting, eating once per day, no snacking. Meals are very low in carbs. #2. No sugar, including high sugar fruits and vegetables. #3. No wheat products. #4. Increased daily activity. My goal is to lose 60 lbs. and yes, I even cheated a few times. My high blood pressure, heart rate and cholesterol numbers are way down and I am weaning off of my meds with my Doctors consent. If not for these videos, I would still be trying weight watchers or those stupid slim-fast products. Dr. Berries advice really works if you can stick with it!
Great info as always Dr. Berry. Thank you for sharing the study links.
Dr Berry: Interesting how the first link, the Diamond Study, has totally disappeared from the internet - even the Wayback site doesn't have a copy of it.
You are the greatest Dr Berry. Sadly, I know much more about health by listening to you and others like you throughout the years then many or most doctors in my small town with the huge expensive medical hospital complex that most of us who live here know sucks. In fact, I was told that a heart patient here was bumped off his scheduled surgery slot in favor of a doctor from the medical complex in question who needed heart surgery!!! Can you imagine? WHY WOULD ANY INTELLIGENT CREATURE LISTEN TO A DOCTOR WHO CANNOT PREVENT HIS OWN HEALTH ISSUES? I hope the heart patient takes the "imposed" down time to investigate his condition for himself. He just might be able to reverse it by eating the proper human diet (as well as targeted supplementation to speed things along).
Thank you Doc, excellent video. My doc keep trying to put me on statins, cause my lab came back with high ldl. Im going to listen to you and change my diet, love coffee and pastries and carbs,lol. God bless .
Good news! Thank you!
Probably the most funny, eloquent, convincing presentation of a medical issue that have surfaced on the internet. I would opine..
Testimonial. My husband ate like a teenager into his 40s, but normal weight and very active. The hypertension began in his mid-40s (I refused to let him take statins) and a creeping A1C as he reached early 50s. In response to the A1C he devoted himself to keto and controlled that A1C. Good for him. Jump ahead 4 years. Last winter he started feeling angina, he didn't know that's what it was at the time, in his heart. We, on our own, went in for a couple's heart scans. Yep, he had massive calcification. I had zero, 0, zilch, nada calcification by the way. Tomorrow my husband undergoes a triple bypass. My advice? Don't be like my husband and wait until things start going south to eat right. You can not undo 50 years of diet in 4 years. I have felt a few twinges of guilt these past months in making him avoid statins. These studies keep proving I was right so I let go guilt. He's on those statins now since finding out about the artery disease and I'm not sure yet how I feel about that. My own diet? I've been a fan of all the low carb diets since my 20s starting with Atkins and now a strong ketovore who has many carnivore only days.
Your story gives me pause. I'm seeing several people saying they were on Keto and then ended up having massive calcification. Also statins DO reduce incidence of heart attacks and strokes. I am hoping that people getting calcification after Keto were already far along on that path, but more research is probably needed. I had a calcium scan in 2016 and had a 0 but your situation makes me think I need to get another one.
@@dmmcmah1, I've been low-carb/keto way longer and my score is ZERO across the board. This man ate a lunch of ramen every day for decades. His other meals weren't much better despite my efforts. He also ate ice cream 3 or more nights every week. His mother had bypass and half her brothers and sisters did too. There is a lot of blame in his habits and genetics to go around, but one of them is not his recent keto diet. His heart showed signs of a very slow but stead progression. This started in his 40s or earlier, not 4 years ago.
@@dmmcmah1, geez, I forgot his 1-2 Dr Pepper a day habit and the seed oil crap he regularly ate.
I have an elder in my family the husband had a heart attack years ago and the doctors said they got it from eating too much eggs LOL 20 years later his wife still won't touch eggs....unbelievable! but I am making her watch your videos little by little one red pill at a time
