Diagnosed stage 3 dementia, now stage 1, 3 months carnivore
❤❤❤
That is very good! Take a lot of coconut oil with some MTC8+10 oil. Take a look at my other comment on this page as well!
@@Robert-tv9rq thank you, I started the mct oil
Great 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻
How are you doing?
My mom and brother died of Alzheimer’s along with some aunts. 2 other brothers died also had dementia. All diabetics. I am a carnivore and healed from insulin diabetes 2 thanks to you Dr. Berry. I’ve also lost 26 lbs in 6 mos. I’m a 62yo woman who just got her life back. God bless you Dr. Berry!!! I am eternally grateful.
Congrats!! That is a very big deal!! I have 4 family members 3 of which died from this horrific disease. My brother is currently in a nursing home with dementia just this year. He is only 67
I’m so happy for you!
This is inspiring for this 61 year old woman. Thank you.
@@truthseeker4869 I'm sorry about your brother. So young. When did start experiencing symptoms
Thank-you! His actual symptoms started to be noticeable in 2019. He always began his mornings doing crossword puzzles, an avid reader and these just slipped away. He lost interest and then later a lot of confusion with remembering simple directions or daily plans. I just had a visit with him a week ago. The visit went great but it was heartbreaking to see the changes.@@sherrihinton2885
I’m almost 81 and I’ve been on keto 4 yrs lost 230 lbs. and my mind is still strong. Love keto.
My husband's symptoms became unignorable last year. He is carnivore 87 days now and the difference is drastic. The first month he "cheated" a few times, eating something off plan and the change was drastic and immediate. I could tell he ate something he shouldn't have. His continence changed drastically each time. He's been clean of carbs for the last two months and though he still an occasional bad day it's still better than it was before we went carnivore. He feels the difference and it has been such that he refuses to give in to temptation again.
I know what you mean about immediate countenance change. My son is doing carnivore (me too) for anxiety and depression. The day or the day after he goes off the proper human diet, I hear it in his voice even. More forced speech and he becomes very short tempered. He’s beginning to recognize it too. Hallelujah. My brother died of metabolic disease and dementia @ 63 years old with the last 7 being in nursing home after I couldn’t care for him anymore.
@@themadennis taurine cures anxiety
awesome! great to hear, hopefully if he keeps at it, he will stop or even reverse the progression.
My first week of keto 6yrs ago my personality did a 360% turn for the better. I had forgotten I use to be a nice person.
Now if I eat grains or sweet things I immediately become anxious, depressive & aggressive.
I've also noticed the same behavour from a friend.
Sending everything good your way. Xxx
I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes back in 2021 with a fasting glucose of 511 and an A1C of 15. In May 2023, my A1C was a 9.2 and as of August 21st, it is now a 5.8 with a fasting glucose of under 100 on a consistent basis. I began my ketogenic diet journey on April 10, 2023 to take control of the diabetes and realized that my IR was changing when the skin tags on the right side of my neck literally disappeared within 4 weeks of starting a keto diet. I will never stop doing keto because I have seen the changes that have taken place within my body. I have lost about one dress size within the past 3-4 months and this is without doing strenuous exercise. Even my primary care physician cannot believe that I reversed the diabetes within 3-4 months!
Congratulations, and keep on your journey to good health. 😊
Congrats that's awesome I just hope that doctor starts realizing that the keto diet works so well! But they're probably not real happy to realize this because they won't make any money lol😮
Same thing happened to me all skin tags disappeared in first month. ❤
Congratulations!🎉 Keep up the great work. You are worth it!
WOW! That is one big-time turn around! Keep up the great work 💯💪
My 102 year old grandfather never had dementia; homemade wine, cigars, eggs, bacon.
And no "safe and effectives" I would guess.
The eggs and bacon saved him, more than likely. 🙂
… how dare she !!! :-)
He was happy
My great grandma still drives, lives alone, can still beat us at a game of cards now n then. She eats food, plain and simple. Not that fake junk, stuff like homemade Sheppard's pie with veal, eats once or twice a day. My gramps is much the same, 74, fells trees and chops firewood for the winter, re-roofed his house alone, and works doing electrical engineering jobs on the side. He specifically cut out eating most bread in the 70's after seeing the toxic preservatives out in the stuff. Mostly meat and eggs with a side of veg, sometimes oats or a slice of sourdough. Sugary things only as a rare treat. Perfect ~115/70 blood pressure, 60bpm heart rate. I'm trying to follow the same thing, if not better, knowing this. I eat most of my energy calories from meat. I'll have some veg if I go to the effort of cooking something more complex than meat. Rarely, I'll eat beans, seasonal fruit, potato, or anything sweet. Usually just for the occasional family dinner for holidays. I still mostly fill up on the turkey or ham.
My 81 year old father has Alzheimer’s/Dementia and has steadily declined for over 5 years now. So hard to watch. I don’t want to end up in the same place. I just turned 47 yesterday and I thank God I found this lifestyle and community 🙌🏼 Over a month in.
Please see Dr. Mary Westport's videos on DEMENTIA/COCONUT OIL!!! Many have had success with it (including me).
Coconut oil, and even better coconut oil in coffee, works wonders! When we see elderly family members starting to slip, we start the coconut oil regimen and it works like a charm! Please look into it with an open mind. God bless.
@@repentjesusiscomingsoon1529 I will! Thank you!! 😊💕
@@WinsomeWinslet I definitely will! Thank you 😊💕
Same boat here. My 82 year old mom has been suffering from dementia the past 10 years and I absolutely DO NOT want to suffer that when I'm her age. I'm over 50.
I lost my dad at 69 from Alzheimer’s.
Awful way to go.
My poor father.
I’m not going out that way.
The #1 reason I started carnivore.
I’m 54 and lift weights.
I cut out all processed foods, carbs and sugar.
I feel amazing and will never go back to the SAD.
Miss you Dad.
Hey Scott, I am 69 yrs old. My older brother is living the "healthy diet" of low fat, egg whites only, bowls of oatmeal w/berries. I visited him recently and bless his heart, he still thinks that is healthy. He is not open to changing. I feel sad about that but it is his choice. I am grateful that you know how to not follow in your Dad's footsteps. May you remember all the really good stuff about him. 💪🙏
actually compared to the literal shiiiiit 95% of americans are esating...bagels donuts fast food diet sodas candy bars on and on...a diet of berrys and oats egg whites is actually worlds better! happy holidays from nyc@@Lynne135
My mother died of Lewy Body Dementia, within a year my father was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. This sent me on a mission to find some answers, thank God I found you Dr. Berry. It’s been 8 years of Keto/low carb and I no longer search for words or struggle with remembering names or places. I have shared my story with others in the hope that they too can wake up and smell the sugar but it all seems to fall on deaf ears. People would rather listen to their learned doctor with his his handy dandy prescription pad, he is after all the one who went to medical school.
I will continue to share my story in the hope that it may help someone one day.
Bless you for all you do and to those you have helped!
Unfortunately, docs only practice what they were taught - n what they were taught is often outdated.
People with Alzheimer's disease are removed from the society "for their own good", but imo also at least half of the reason is that people don't like to face disturbing things and this disease is disturbing AF. If we all had to deal with such people on a daily basis, then prevention of Alzheimer's dementia would be among top interests of social media
I had the privilege and honor of being my daddy’s caregiver from the time he came to live here on our property from age 82-88.
However, since his ischemic stroke in 2020 sadly his mixed dementia has really escalated to the point where he needed more 5:08of my time and attention than I could physically and mentally give.
He came down sick w pneumonia and after just 1 week in the hospital his dementia deteriorated so far that he now needed 24 hr care.
I had gotten so run down that i got sick too.
Daddy is now living in a Alzheimer’s unit at a local nursing home very near my house.
He is adjusting well and feels secure when he goes to bed at night.
I am trying to get well so I can go visit my daddy as his oldest daughter, rather than his caregiver 🙂.
They're removed to BigPharma Institutions I call them, where they're over comfortably stuffd with carbs and sugars and no real Meat plus as much possible 💉💉💉💉😳
@@cindypatrick785so sorry to hear this. My mom took care of my dad until he wore her down so much the doctor said he had to go to the nursing home (was getting aggressive too). It’s so heartbreaking and I feel your pain. May God give you quick healing and the strength you need so you can go visit your daddy. ❤
@@littleeagle22 thank you for your understanding.
I had told daddy in 2016 that he would live here w us as long as I could physically and mentally handle it.
I just didn’t know how much of an emotional toll it was going to take to watch my workaholic daddy deteriorate into the mindset of a small child😢.
I thank my God, Jehovah for having the strength I did have these last 7 years and I have many wonderful memories of us working our flower gardens and the vegetable gardens, watching travelogues of Wyoming, where he worked on ranches and rode in rodeos as a teen.
There is nothing left unsaid between us❤️
The FIRST thing they do when a person is put in a nursing home with these issues or any other issue, is put them on a low fat, high carb diet! The very WORST thing for them. The brain needs fat!! The body needs far to survive! No one seems to talk about this issue! I believe you are right about what you said here!!
The nursing homes do that because carbs are cheaper.
DOC is so correct about this. Strongly agree!
@@judykeown yes! And it’s a pitiful shame!

I lost my beautiful wife to dementia this July 4th she was showing signs of dementia at age 65 she passed away at age 75 two days after her 75th
birthday
Dementia is a terrible disease because you lose your loved one twice 😢
So sorry to hear. I wish we all knew back in the day what we know today.
My thoughts exactly! My beautiful, funny, caring mom has been gone for years. In her place is someone who I don't even recognize- mean, aggressive and suspicious. It's a terrible disease!
John, I’m sorry that you and your wife had to go through that… ❤
Lost my wife at age 60. Breaks my heart to hear others going through the same sadness.
Yes 10 years of home caring with my wife. You lose a piece of them every day.
Thank you Dr..they would never tell us anything like this, because there is no $$ in it for them...
Absolutely true!
"They" are Originally, Him. John D. Rockefeller. Research the genisis of incorporated U.S. Hospitals and Big Pharma. It's mind blowing. Yet We are in The Awakening 😊. This channel of Dr. Dean Berry is a Living narrative of Blessings! 🙏🏼🕊️ 💪♥️
Both of my parents had it and both died. Their diet as they aged was very high carb and sugar. Pie for lunch and dinner. Thank you Dr Berry for educating us!
It is a vicious cycle. People suffering from Alzheimers and other kinds of dementia feel that the brain is starving (even though it is flooded with sugar) so they crave more sugar.
Thanks to our wonderful government and their stupid food guidelines. The food that seniors are given in care centers is absolutely atrocious. It's all carbs and sugar basically.
And avoid alcohol! My wife who treats Veterans has found that under certain meds, when a patient stops drinking, certain dementia disappears almost entirely
Wow. Awesome.
it's termed wet brain
My wife has never drank alcohol
I’ve been watching my Mom slowly, and painfully slip away. I cared for her as long as I could, but now she is hospitalized with dementia. I truly hope others can help their loved ones ( and themselves)who are not as far gone as my Mom!🙏💕
don't u think it could be reversed?
My sister was recently diagnosed with “moderate” stage Alzheimer’s. She seems to have progressed quickly in the past few months. Thank you for this information. Since I have been doing keto/ low carb and have been doing intermittent fasting for several years now this gives me a lot of hope.
I pray your sister will be able to stabilize and then maybe reduce her symptoms.
Keep her on this diet , sugar and carbs caused this imo, a little help on top cod liver oil 2 x day, that oil feeds the brain directly, Magnesium Taurate 2 x Day, Vit higher dose B1, bentofotmine I'm an herbalist, have videos on different herbal remedies, wish I knew, back in 90s my poor mother suffered and died from Alzheimer's, google my suppliments I suggest, I swear it will extend her, I've seen it I use to prevent, affordable, no side effects, countless benifits.
@@aussiegardener1773 thank you so much!
@@daleval2182 thanks so much!
@@lynnmarsh1227 good luck with her, God bless
Of *course * there won’t be press releases. 😑 They don’t want us to know.
U nailed it
100 percent!
Eh... it's actually worse than that... I stopped going to their presentations around 2019. I got tired of them scaring overwhelmed caregivers, by telling their loved ones were going to die horrible deaths if they so much as thought about meat, salt, or fat.
Destroying the matrix one video at a time 👍
This is the number one reason I'm carnivore (99%). Both my mother and grandmother had early onset, one in her late 50s, one in her early 60s. I'm in my early 50s now and began to experience cognitive issues. They are gone now. Along with a whole host of other chronic conditions.
I gave a family history of dementia so I prayed to God that I would be spared from it. Shortly after that I was introduced to your videos and other keto & intermittent fasting ones. I have lost 100 pounds and feel very confident/ have clarity/ and know that was the answer to my prayers. Thank you for all you do!
Statins. One of the problems is the sheathing (myoline?) around nerves. Its made of cholesterol. If you artificially lower your cholesterol with statins. You are asking for dementia.
Thank you, ive been carnivore for 90days and cured every chronic illness i had (63yo Australian male). I have come to believe that the war on cholesterol is based on bullshit research, paid for by a special interest group. Every person on this diet proclaims vast improvements in mental health, and as its a high cholesterol diet, and the brain is 25% cholesterol, i think it makes sense that a majority of neurological illnesses would respond favourably to it. Why is the medical profession so adamant that cholesterol is the killer, when it clearly is sugar (insulin resistance).
@@johnallen7367 $$$. Simple as that. There is no money in curing any disease. If you cure a disease, you just lost a customer.
It kinda like the old joker about the perfect light bulb. That never burns out. The inventor went broke. (Ok, its not really a joke. There is a light bulb consortium. That tells the light bulb manufacturers to limit the lifespan of their bulbs. I learned about the in high school electronics class. That was in 1981. It still exists.
Not to mention is only extends your lifespan by 5 minutes taking a statin. You NEED cholesterol, brain is 25% and it is in EVERY cell in your body. It is not a bad substance, it is needed by your body or you will die.
Exactly what I believe happened to my father who passed away with Alzheimer’s.
Thanks for what you do. 6 month on keto and 3 on carnivore. My labs came back fantastic today. Down 44 lbs down and about to be off all meds. Getting off blood pressure meds now. Lowering doses and monitoring. About to end CPAP therapy. Convinced my doctor to start carnivore yesterday. He was amazed at my results.
Awesome! So many doctors are brainwashed and cannot accept the PHD I'm glad you have a good 1. Hopefully when he sees the benefits, he will help his patients do the same.
Wow, you convinced your doctor!!! Imagine how many people your doctor will now influence with his own improvements. Way to go, happy for your continued journey. 👍
I am at "everything is high except bank a/c!". Which did more good - the Keto or Carnivore? I'm thinking of the vegies - which would be allowed on Keto, but not Carnivore. Why did you switch over? Was it personal taste, or did you have more science behind it? Thanks.
@@veredictum4503 My weight loss stalled for over a month. So I started cutting back on veggies and got it moving again. Down 45 lbs now on full carnivore.
How were your HDL LDL Levels? Mine are already high so I’m hesitant about doing keto or carnivore diet.
My mother had Alzheimer’s for 26 yrs starting @ 55 till she passed @81. This was about mid 70s when very few doctors knew anything about this.
My dad took her to OSU hospital, Riverside Hosp. , Cabell Huntington, and different independent neurologist. After 10 yrs of being diagnosed all she did was sit and look around . She had no abilities to do anything else.
I lived 2 hrs away but was there on weekends and summer time to help and visit my mom and dad when my son was out of school.
My dad kept her home till last 4 yrs of life when she had to be fed by a tube in her stomach… he couldn’t stand to see that and do it so he put her in a nursing home but he never failed to be there for her during breakfast, lunch and dinner till she finally passed and went to heaven.
I know God has a special place for her❤

I feel so blessed because I never got dementia or Alzheimer’s so far and I’m 82 in Nov. I still do everything that I’ve done all my life…working outdoors in flowers, yard , shopping , cooking and best of all I drive from Fl to Ohio !

I have been doing Keto since January 23 and Carnivore since March.I lost 50 lbs feel great. My wife has early onset dementia I have put her on a Keto diet she has lost 28lbs and her cognitive skills don't seem to be worsening. It's early days yet to see improvements but I am confident we will. We both turned 60 this year. Just been out on a 10-mile walk with my dog. Don't think I would have enjoyed it nearly as much 8 months ago.
Your comment is very helpful to me. We are about the same age. I turn 61 in a week. My husband has diabetes and now dementia and I keep trying to figure out what else I can do for both of us because as you know it can be stressful and then you neglect your own health caring for the other. I like that you were able to get your wife on keto. I've been saying every night to get myself back on keto and try to get my husband to follow me which may not be easy. But reading your comment has given me the incentive to start TODAY. By next week, myself and my husband will be sugar free. Prayers for you and your wife. Thank you.

@@robertavanselow9172 absolutely 👍
We've leveraged keto and carnivore for the last 12 years with my mother as she's traveled through all of the stages of the disease. I've spoken to A.D.Keto and Danny Vega (on their channels) about her journey. In fact, I jokingly "blame" Danny for giving me the final pieces to carnivore that have helped my mom maintain her physical strength, even into these last 6 months that she has been on hospice. As she nears the end, we are gearing up to begin openly talking about her 12 year+ journey through the disease. If anyone is on the fence about doing this, feel free to ask me anything, I can tell you what every step of the disease looks like... right down to what it does to all of us as caregivers as well.
"Leveraged Keto" ? Disease (dementia) ? Didn't help ?
If you're gearing up to talk about this issue, might help to be more specific .
Tell us more please
@@jackwild1111 "Leveraged"... as in it is one of many tools within a toolbox to help someone suffering under the dementia umbrella.
I just copied this from another post I made elsewhere in the comments, hopefully it is beneficial...
At the bare bones basic of the disease, the brain can no longer utilize glucose for energy. The brain becomes more and more resistant to it. Amy Berger talked about this at KetoCon... 2018 (if I remember correctly). What Dr Mary Newport did with her husband was try to leverage ketones without really going hardcore keto with her husband (again, if I remember correctly). Dr Georgia Ede has talked about how we can shift about 70-ish-% of our brain's required energy to ketones. What that does within the disease is lengthen the sufferers plateaus within the disease, as well as makes for smaller cognitive declines when it does happen. That's really not even the best parts of it though! Obviously getting them metabolically healthy as early into a diagnosis will create better 2nd and 3rd order outcomes as well. Polypharmacy is rampant within out older communities EVERYWHERE. The health benefits of just getting them to a point where doctors can no longer justify medicating them to the moon will again create better 2nd and 3rd order outcomes. When we look at what standard of care continuing education publishes, we find that the 2 main causes of death are (in this order) falls and aspiration. Remove the excess meds, and by sheer magic, mom no longer needs a walker, and she barely needs a HurryCane.
Bottom line: Doc Berry is 100% spot on with this.
The quiet part though, the "Association" isn't of much value to those of us doing the real work of caring for our loved ones.
@@toneyniko99 hmmm, I'm not likely to agree with the brain just refusing glucose as much as insulin resistance causing cellular failure (cells not properly nourished - diet based regardless). I suspect if the body gets the nourishment it wants, the brain would be the last organ to go ? Progress on this ill is going well tho 👏
An Opinion about the medical/pharma/corporate food conglomerate ignoring a simple solution to ANYTHING?
Look at their bank statements. It's all about repeat business, isn't it?
I can't be alone in this....
Great video! My grandma passed away in 2015 from Alzheimer’s complications while in a nursing home sitting at a table in the cafeteria. Absolutely heartbreaking for such a sweet soul. I’m 29 and newly carnivore after going to the doctor and my provider mentioned I have insulin resistance, I refuse to have that be my fate as Alzheimer’s and diabetes runs in my family. You have nothing without your health! Thank you Dr. Berry & Neisha!!
About 10 years ago my older brother died of early onset ALZ, while my father died of it in the 1990s. When my brother got it, the rest of us sibs were filled with dread wondering who'd be next. About 5 years ago I was given a big scare by my doc who warned me to consider getting long-term care insurance! My metabolic syndrome had worstened, by memory for even simple words was becoming a problem and when I stood up I'd be light headed and woozy. This was NOT looking good. Thankfully, my doc (who was a standard doc overall) suggested I try the Keto diet, and I jumped in fully! In 6 months I'd dropped 35lbs and a long struggle with depression completely lifted. My numbers were looking better and better... Recently I went carnivore hoping to get at the hold out of my metabolic syndrome, hypertension. I dropped more weight down to my teen year weight, although I have lots of energy to lift weights and have muscled up somewhat. I can't believe at 64 I look and feel this way! My brother died at about this age, so I feel I may well have dodged the bullet. Also, I've tried to follow Bredesen's protocol- I wonder if Carnivore is better for some of us??
Not enough real doctors like you in the world, doctor B
How odd that I was just thinking that since I started consuming sugar again, my memory has deteriorated...again!
My sister fully bought the 'zero fat' craze that began in the '70s. She spent all our young adulthood avoiding ANY fats she could in order (to her) to keep weight off. She would not eat avocados, although she loved them. She would decline cheese (even on a hamburger!) because "who wants the extra calories?". She wouldn't eat bacon, kept her egg intake to a certain limit. When the low fat product "SnackWells" came out, she was so excited, that she could have 'as many as she wanted'. She was a life long smoker--from the age of 14--which didn't help. She was about 66 when the dementia signs began. She was gone before her 70th birthday.
No one will ever convince me that her diligent avoidance of fats for 50 years(well, yes, plus the smoking) didn't play a part in her death.
My mom has Vascular dementia. I have her on a ketovore diet as well as MCT oil. Vascular is different from Alzheimers but I hope it will help her. She also fasts about 16 hrs a day and no sugar/junk in the house.
I'd be curious to see if glucose uptake is diminished in the brain (probably from the vascular damage) like in other forms of dementia. It's at least food for thought.
@@tonyniko99 You know that's the best, most appropriate pun I've ever heard in my life, & yet it seems perhaps you didn't even realise you said it! CONGRATULATIONS! LOL!
But seriously now, you're correct!
Dad has dementia, his sister had it, their mother and her two siblings all had it😵💫😕. I’ve been keto / carnivore since 2020 in the hopes I don’t have the same fate. I need to expand my window of int.fasting tho. I can easily do 14 hrs but I really would like to expand that to 18 hrs on a regular basis. Thank you for this video!!
See Dr. Mary Westport's videos on DEMENTIA/COCONUT OIL cure!!! It has helped me and so many others!
@@cashby1425 I find most of the time, if I fill up on meat for dinner, I'm not hungry until the following night! That becomes a 24hr fast each day!
I try to eat nothing sweet at all, to stop cravings. I eat some meat, bacon or eggs if I get the munchies, never anything sweet. But honestly I'm still full from the night before when I wake up!
16 (fasting)/8 (eating window) is better for you, most of the time you're sleeping. I will say work up past 20 hours because that is when the magic begins and your body starts healing and repairing damage.
Thank you! Medications are just a wing and a prayer. Tired of ... There's a pill for that.
Yep. Prevention is worth a Pound of cure.
Sooooo many dang pills!
Keto for a year to carnivore for last month, and my health is changing for the better every day. Thank you for all the amazing information you share with us.
I watched a TEDx video by a woman whose husband had dementia (I wish I could remember the name of it.) She said they were nicknaming it "Type 3 Diabetes" because of the brain's trouble with using glucose. Which implied to me that the brain is starving. First thing I thought of was the Keto diet. He was so far along he couldn't qualify for some of the research studies for various drugs. She had started giving him large amounts of coconut oil for the MCTs and he improved markedly. Enough to qualify for one of the studies. (Also ended up being the only one in the group that improved.) She had more years with him than she would have had otherwise.
I think that was Dr. Mary Newport. She has some great CZcams videos.
I tried MCT oil on my stage 4-5 loved one who was 88. He took a dose of it for about 2-3 days and then declared that it made him cough, so that was the end of that. I did not know about the possible brain benefits of carnivore at that time, unfortunately. It's most definitely worth a try. His reaction may have been unusual.
@@Pondapple Sometimes we don't want to do things that are good for us. He might have just made an excuse that was hard to argue with so he could get his way. (There was a comic...Hagar the Horrible...that had a Sunday strip showing the seven stages of Man. Essentially, going from infant to adult, then regressing back to infant. Given the toddlerisms I've seen in some elderly, I'd agree with it.
So do any of you think aricept helps along with keto diet as well as several supplements including coconut oil given by neurologist to help neuropathy as well
@@OLD-justaword Honestly, I couldn't say. Don't know anyone who's used it to say whether it's useful or not. My mom had dementia, but my dad never took her to get officially diagnosed. I think I know why, but it's more a "their generation" reasoning than anything.
248 pounds two years ago, 175 last week. I think 73 pounds off says Keto works. Oh, and no more BP meds.
my mother suffered with alzheimer's in 1990's - there is nothing we wouldn't have tried...
I do an inordinate amount of reading and research about health and lifestyle. What I have learned is that the brain actually "runs on" ketones first and if there isn't enough of that it will switch to glucose, but glucose is a very poor substitute. I've also read that it's your liver that produces ketones but like many of the other substances in your body, it loses its ability to produce enough for our brain as we age-some more so than others. Dr. Ken is right. The ketogenic diet or better yet, the carnivore diet helps your body to produce more ketones. For those who are already impaired, taking MCT oil in addition to the keto/carnivore diet is optimal. There is a woman doctor here on YT who documents how she was able to reverse her husbands dementia with MCT oil-
Dr Mary Newport... and she's been a huge proponent of MCT's for years.
@@toneyniko99 Dr. Mary Newport huh? Right! THANK YOU!
Thank You! I couldn't remember her name when I was typing my response-
Fasting also is very beneficial!
My baby sister was still teaching calculus and was math department chair when she was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's a couple weeks before her 59th birthday, October 2020. She soon lost the connection with her husband, whom she married when they were both 19. She forgot her children and grandchildren soon after diagnosis. She still knows me but has forgotten me for short periods 3 times. She's in a memory care facility ($6000+ monthly) and will soon need to be in skilled nursing. She has lost 53 pounds, even though she's eating. Wasting disease. She's frail and has fallen 5 times and been injured, has 5 staples in her head from the last fall. The doctors don't know how to do anything but pump her full of drugs and I watch what they feed all the residents. Sugar/carbs at every meal. The drink of choice? Apple juice!!! Our healthcare system is utterly failing. We treat animals better than we do humans; just let them suffer. I believe it's largely a money-grab. These patients lose their humanity, their dignity, and suffer for years; no progress, no real research. Your advice makes perfect sense!
I’m sorry your family is going through this…
I’m so sorry that you’re experiencing that. 🙏
The healthcare wants to perpetual their works. If people are healthy they don't have income.
What is wrong with Apple juice??
@@elw6150 Seriously? How can you watch a video on a carnivore MD’s channel and not know that?? Sigh… Okay, I’ll spell it out for you: apple juice is high glycemic index, pretty much pure sugar and water. Shoots the blood sugar up FAST. Promotes diabetes, eventual kidney damage, and a whole host of other problems, including NAFLD and, wait for it……Alzheimer’s. THAT is what’s wrong with apple juice. Okay?
No way for companies to make money, that’s why it’s not “advertised” to the public.
My mother passed away at 69 due to complications caused by diabetes. She was also confirmed to have Alzheimer's at the time of her passing. I too have diabetes, diagnosed with it about 10 years ago (age 50). 3 years ago, I learned about the ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting and the strong possibility to reverse diabetes and prevent Alz, so without hesitation, I adopted this lifestyle. Now I am taking less medications for diabetes than 3 years ago. Will I get Alz? who knows? But I have hope.
I picked up a book called The End of Alzheimer's and it clearly stated that a keto diet was huge. Thank you for making this point again.
I’ve read that book and follow the author who is amazing. More recently he recommends a plant based diet 🙁
Thank you for this information! My Mom baked sweets almost everyday. She craved sugar and watching her go down hill with dementia was hard. My early retirement was spent taking care of her and eventually a nursing home and death. I have worried it might be hereditary… thanks to you I am (almost) carnivore. A few veggies with steak. Your channel is awesome and helping so many!
Ive been in ketosis for 4 years now. Ive stopped smoking pot for obvious reasons. Im now seeing results quickly. No sugar cravings! I eat no sugar, occasional cole slaw . I feel better every day. Im just 70.
What’s the obvious?
@@kihntagious Yeah, what are the obvious reasons you gave up pot?
@@nevillegoddard4966I'm thinking she was talking about getting the munchies! I guess you could eat keto snacks tho!
@@fawnleegreene7688 Yeah I know all about the munchies lol, but just water helps now. I never munch on anything sweet any more.
Thankyou for your videos Dr.
I can personally almost guarantee this will work...
My father has Alzheimer's...he was at one point quite bad...had to do everything for him... didn't even recognise me on occasion.. ( his son)
Did so much research...wasn't excepting this for him!
I got him on 3 times daily a mixture of coconut oil and MCT oil...basically ketones...the same effect a ketogenic diet would have....yes ....fuel the brain with a source it can use.His improvement in just weeks was incredible...have to start with small amounts and build up to avoid diarrhoea. Well ...he is that good now that he still eats a very high sugar diet...which I'm not happy about at all...but the oils still work..Even doing that! I don't at all recommend eating sugar...he's just well...bloody stupid!...anyway...if your loved one is suffering...please look into this....at the very least try ' the cheat' method as my father now does....it gave him his life back.Hopefully it will work for you too!❤
May I ask what the amounts were of each oils?
@@laureng732 Hi yes ofcourse...3 tablespoons coconut oil after each meal...along with 1000mg of keto mct oil (now In capsule form..used to be liquid form) Also 3 times a day after every meal.Took him a few weeks to work himself up to that dose gradually without diarrhoea. Totally fine after that.He also takes melatonin capsules at night...as you know sleep very important to wash away accumulated brain toxins each night.
Personally I believe a similarish dose 4 times a day would be better...as that timing works better for the oils timeline as it were.Apart from that he is doing everything else wrong...diet etc...as I think I mentioned...very silly of him.But still great results...only took also maybe 2 weeks to start seeing real progress.Hope this helps !
Try coconut oil too. Several tablespoons a day.
I will say that taking chemicals out of your diet and your life may prevent problems that come in your 70’s and 80’s as far as memory is concerned. My mother was the classic Dementia/Alzheimer’s healthy body, no heart problems, no pre-existing conditions, however she loved carbs, she took synthetic hormones after total hysterectomy at age 40, she took blood pressure meds, then they gave her cholesterol meds, then those awful flu and pneumonia shot year after year. By the time she was 75 years old, her brain was toxic! She was not overweight, she had no problems until all these chemicals ruined her life! She spend the last 12 years of her life with no short term memory and no functional skills beside walking. So sad, yes I think a Ketogenic diet will deter these unfortunate events. I am following that diet closely now, thank you Dr. B, for at least giving us hope for a better brain 🧠 into our 60’s, 70’s and 80’s. The brain needs fuel and my dear mother ran out of brain fuel, she passed at age 87. Her cause of death was listed as kidney failure, that’s because her brain didn’t tell her to drink, she did not ever have a kidney problem!! Sad,sad…….
I was diagnosed with frontal temporal lobe dementia 8 years ago. At the time it was devastated having to leave my profession nursing that I loved. Strangely enough I improved after about 4 years and most people are unaware. However,noticed increased forgetfulness, constantly losing everything, difficulty concentrating, and apathy. Could this help me?
Yes, you have insulin resistance and your brain is starving, so your nerves are dying due to lack of glucose. People with higher levels of insulin resistance used less blood sugar in areas of the brain most susceptible to Alzheimer’s. When that happens, the brain has less energy to relay information and function. If you don’t have as much fuel, you’re not going to be as adept at remembering something or doing something. Feed the brain with ketones which the brain loves and CAN use, Intermittent fasting, cut out all sugar, cut out carbs. Carnivore is the best, or ketovore (keto but more meat) and supplement with MCT oils and coconut oils especially when you feel your brain struggling. I'm 47 (almost 48) and I had bad brain fog years ago, been keto over 2 yrs, migraines went away after a few months starting keto. The healing process takes time, but it gets better, just stick to it!
My mother died at 92 and spent her last 10 years of life suffering with dementia. As a product of the 1970s fear of fat, my mother was deathly afraid of fat in her diet - but she loved her jelly beans. Her diet was probably 90 % carbohydrates for most of her life. More research is needed concerning the role of diet and type 3 diabetes. Thank you!
Great-gran, gran, and mother all had dementia. I am 55 and starting to struggle cognitively. I'm about 60 pounds overweight, probably with insulin issues. (I don't go to the doctor and don't take meds.) Keto and IF are no longer an option, but a must. I don't want to become unable to perform ADLs or not know loved ones. It is a truly horrible disease. Today, I begin healing. Thank you for sharing your wisdom.
I introduced both a ketogenic eating plan and intermittent fasting to my mother, almost by accident. There has been a marked improvement in her symptoms over the past year and a half of these changes. She isn't exactly back to her old self, but her cognitive function has improved noticeably and remarkably, not to mention the fact that she has become stronger and steadier physically. It is certainly worth trying, under advisement from the individual's G.P. We have also been able to reduce her dependence on medication, which can only be a plus considering the side effects associated with many of the medications she was on. All the best.
This is great to hear, thank you for contributing this. I hope your Mother is still doing well.
Thank you soooooo much!!! My father had been diagnosed with dementia and it’s been rapidly progressing since his second booster (am I allowed to write that?!) This means the world to me! I sent this to my parents and the rest of the family!! You’re the best!!
Hey Doc. A lot us have followed you for years and are trying to piece together our own dietary and supplementary plans, based on what we learn over time.
Could you do a 'day in the life of' style video, showing what you do from morning to evening?
I think it would help a lot of us.
Neisha does that on her channel…..
Yes I would like to see just Kens daily meals
It’s different than Neisha’s
She shows him quite often in her videos. He eats once daily and sometimes as late as 7 at night. Steak, eggs, lots of butter and cooks in bacon fat. Her channel is great as it shows the whole family and cute stuff she incorporates into their lives. Can always fast forward to him but she is the strength behind the great man.
My 73yo mom was diagnosed with early stage Alzheimer's last yr. She also has Type 2 diabetes. I put her through IF and the healthy keto diet for almost a year now. Her blood sugar levels are back to healthy levels (HbA1c
My dad had some type of dementia. He was too far along to ascertain the type. He was a vegan before it was popular. Later, added meat back into his diet! He never had diabetes or heart disease. His weight was normal as was his BP. He did not drink or smoke. He did swig Benadryl daily for allergies! There are studies about these antihistamines causing dementia. But to be honest, i think my dad starved himself, and did not consume enough fats. His brain was starved. He believed severe calorie restriction led to better health. I’m not sure he ate enough to even fuel his body, much less his brain. Brilliant man, gone too soon at 80.
I live in fear of getting this! Began Keto/IF in Jan! 19/5, super easy. Don’t miss a thing! Keep up the good work Dr. Berry!! Thank you
From KCMO, I noticed my memory failing daily a few years ago. After doing keto, then mostly carnivore, and adding in MCT and Coconut oil (Dr Mary Newport on CZcams) to my diet it has improved significantly!!! I feel like I could go back to work now. I’m 70 yo now, doing silver sneakers at the community center and starting pickleball.
😅No money in this!🤗 Thank you did! Blessings! My mom has this and all she wants to eat are sweets! When my dad was in the hospital at the beginning of February she told him him that when he gets out, there will be no bread or sweets anymore in the house but he passed and she took it so hard, I never imagined that she will suffer after dad so much! From then on I see a decline on her ability to speak, comprehend, simple tasks are huge for her, it's real and I seeing all these and I need to do something about it for me, because I am super stressed and haven't been sleeping well for years and I see how I can't find words, she doesn't have diabetes but I do! She is 83 soon to be 84 but I am over 20 years younger and if I don't do something now I will be in a worse shape sooner than she is now! The big problem I have is that I have no energy to prepare (and she is no help) the food that I know is good for me and my family! She can walk and sqoat for hours (not that much anymore) and I can't right now! 😟
I am intermittent fasting and on day 22 Carnivore. My dad passed in 2010 with dementia. Want to avoid IT at all costs!
T3D is caused by seed oils, sugars, carbs, processed products and alcohol. Remove those things for life. I wish you good health.
Love how Dr Berry is not a typical pill pusher, he always talks about how you can change your health with diet. 👍🏻
I say it’s worth trying, why not see if it helps
My Dad moved in with me after his wife died and I could see his short term memory was bad. He had the battery of tests and while they haven’t used the term Alzheimer’s they have said dementia. I have been keto-carnivore for a while so changing the majority of his diet wasn’t too hard. But he insists on his sugary cereal in the morning and half a PBJ for lunch. I’m trying but he’s a proud stubborn man who won’t even admit he has a problem
Dr. Berry, LOVE YOU BROTHER!!! THANKYOU, for opening up this discussion, and pointing out the obvious as some other brave warriors like you have. (Why the world hasnt took this and ran for a cure with the given findings) My mom is 85 and was diagnosed with vascular dementia 2 yrs. ago.
I accidentally found/then watched Dr. Mary Newmans videos and what she did for her late husband. At the time my mother was having severe sundowners/and she never wanted to get out of bed. Going downhill rapidly!! We started slowly introducing pure coconut oil into her daily intake(keytones) and it has worked tremendously. No more sundowners after about a month into it and cognitively she is functioning so much better. She will get out of bed now with very little fear/and less hesitation. No it hasn't cured her, but it has made her halfway normal again (in my opinion). I just can't seem to get saturated animal fats in her because she doesnt want to chew meat. She chews and then takes it out using her napkin. Otherwise i would have her on carnivore.
She is a tiny woman and never has been a big eater and with this disease it has been a struggle to get her to eat but since the coconut oil even her willingness to eat has somewhat improved. I SURE HOPE MY MESSAGE HELPS EVERYONE. PLEASE continue to drive this subject Dr. Berry! There is truly something happening here on both ends of this topic. God Bless You Brother
My Mother passed from complications from Alzheimers/ Dementia a couple years ago. I tried to get my Dad to give her cbd oil ( didn't know about mct and keto/carnivore being beneficial for it at the time). Long story short, if a Dr didn't prescribe it, they weren't having any of it. 😢 The good news is that after she passed, my Dad finally gave keto a serious try( after seeing me, at 56, lose 60 lbs and feel better than I had in 30 years) and dropped a major amount of weight and has helped his chronic ( self induced) health problems. Too late for Mom, but better late than never for my Dad.
this video is very encouraging. I have been following a ketogenic diet and interval fasting for several years. it exceeded all my expectations. I didn't think it was possible. it's like the beginning of a new life. I recommend keto and interval fasting to everyone.
And when we think of elderly people being fed sugary foods in a nursing home, is it any wonder that their symptoms progressively get worse. The cure for cancer also lays within this information.
Hello! I am encouraged as I hear you and others discuss ways to avoid Alzheimers through diet. My husband recently started the carnivore diet and doing well, and I am eating a ketovore diet. I feel we are on the right track to continue supporting brain health.
I would never want to be a burden to our children, and now I feel hopeful that I won't. Thank you.
Dr. Dale Bredesen is leading the way in reversing Alzheimer’s… if you haven’t checked him out yet, he’s doing some amazing work.
Docs and pharma want people to continue taking their meds; kerching 😢
Yes, a whole foods, one ingredient diet would be ketogenic and low in carbs and sugar, assuming that one ingredient was beef.
I can't remember half the things he said because after age 70, three things start to happen.
1st you lose your hearing,
2nd thing you lose your memory,
And the 3rd one I forgot.
Ken Berry forgot to include any references in his book. Do as I do and read how much severe atherosclerosis Otzi the Iceman had at age 46.
?
@@KenDBerryMD You couldn't remember that joke? Can you remember where you left your umbrella with the dry clean only label on it?
@@KenDBerryMD Otzi the Iceman had severe atherosclerosis at age 46 from consuming the same diet as Ken Berry and Otzi didn't eat cakes, pies, sodas, fast food or artificial trans fats.
they ate grains mostly, barley
Thank you Dr. Ken. ❤
Thank you for this information, just in time. During my eye test recently, it looks like I have lost some peripheral vision. MRI was done and apparently I’ve had a very mild stroke. I’m on keto and intermittent fasting anyway to lower my A1c so I’m actually looking forward to what my neurologist says at my appointment in two weeks. Bless you
Please keep up updated!
You rock Doc ty
Thank you Dr. Berry for your dedication.
I appreciate you and your channel.
More content like this please!
Yep. Totally agree with both suggestions.
Another Awesome video Thanks Much Love ❤❤❤
Thank You Dr Berry 🙏❤️
Thanks for the info!
THANKS FOR CARING💯🙏👍
Thank you Dr.Berry for sharing with us.
Thank you for this video.❤
Dr Berry I am glad your are here for us.
T’was good, real good. Tks.
My mom and grandma both had Alzheimer's and all the kids in my family all eat a ketogenic diet. I wish we knew about this years ago.
Thank you! 😊
Thx for another good video!
I do carnivore with just 2 Oz of guacamole and fast 2 days then eat two days because I have so many conditions. Dementia runs in my family so doing what I can, mom and sis died of it
Love you guys, your awesome 😊
many thanks
I am now 65 and feel certain that both intermitent fasting and ketosis have helped protect me from Alzheimers. But, at the very least I get to enjoy powerful mental energy and mental wellness for an extended period into my old age.
Thank you for this perspective. Heartbreaking disease.
Good on you thanks
Both parents died with dementia. Awful time of my life watching them wither. 6 months Carnivore and 16:8 intermittent fasting hopefully will lead me on a different path so my own children do not have to go through the same.
