About a year ago I had a blood test. My triglycerides were through the roof, almost 950. My blood was tinted yellow. I don't drink much, maybe on average 4 drinks a week. I did consume a fair amount of carbohydrates. I don't recollect at this point what percentage. My doctor wanted to prescribe a statin. I am only in my early 50's. I am not ready to get on the drug train! He gave me 3 months to see what a change in diet would do. I cut carbs out almost completely and 3 months later my triglycerides were under 100. So, I consider myself a good example of what a change in diet can accomplish!
Could you please list exactly the foods you stopped eating. Did you substitute them with something else?
Awesome! Thanks for inspiring us.
That is really good! I am wondering what kind of desserts you chose. I am diabetic with high triglycerides.
Yay!
BRAVO !!! thats incredible ! congrats! Now i gotta get on it myself. Cant believe i have done this to myself. I knew better....
Since low carb I've lowered BP, triglycerides, weight, naps, diabetic symptoms and even went back to work at 74 just cause i felt like. I happy with success!
Awesome job
Age 63 here.....amazing the energy I have after 3 months of cutting out all sugar and processed food.feel 20 yrs younger!
Wow you are an inspiration
Am trying to lower my A1c
How long will it take to lower A1c
August 26 a lipid test showed my triglycerides at 1603! My A1C was 14.0, total cholesterol was 327.
After three months on a low carb high protein / fat diet, the triglycerides are 192, A1C is 7.3, total cholesterol is 140.
And I lost 18 lbs.
Bravo! Keep going!
Holy hell that’s an improvement!
that is without the help of any medication sir?that is so impressive..
Wayne, my triglycerides are at 1527.....A1C is 12.7 can't remember what my cholesterol was, but when I looked at those numbers, it stopped me in my tracks. Immediately cut out carbs and sugar. My blood glucose hasn't been under 300 in a very long time. I'm on about day 10 with my new eating and just checked my blood sugar and it was 193. Still have a ways to go, but I'm on my way. I too go back for bloodwork in 3 months and am looking forward to positive results. Glad you have yours under control.
Nice work. I'm trying lol
I am 68 years old. I am a perfect example of what you are saying! My triglycerides came in at 298 when I was eating and drinking lots of sugars and pastas. It was dumb on my part to have so much right before my blood work. I immediately suspected it and requested another blood test in 3 weeks. I stopped a lot of the ice cream, soda, bread and pasta and then took my blood work test. My triglycerides came in at 76! I'm a believer. So many people STILL are old school and stop eating eggs, burgers, sausages etc. and it DOESN'T WORK! Thank you Doctor Ken Berry! No pills for me!
I’m going to try this.
When i started carnivore in april of 2019, my trigs were over 200, and my last blood work in 2021, they are at 77! The good doctor is not lying!
Here's a simple remedy - don't eat anything that has a label on the container - fresh food doesn't have labels. Learn how to cook and prepare all your own foods from scratch. If your healthy then the doctors don't have any way to prescribe the drugs.
I don’t know where you shop that labels don’t exist on fresh food but it’s clearly not a supermarket or a modern butcher. X
@@HowDidIGet3700Subs I agree with both of your statements. I think there are MANY people who would like to be able to afford to only shop locally, only eat organic, free-range, pasture-fed, lightly killed, foods BUT, when they get to the grocery store and see the PRICES of meat, fish, produce, etc…they realize that they will be paying, in many instances, DOUBLE for the healthier products. I’m lucky to live close to a big-name, Midwest chain of stores that have “market district” attached to the end of their name. They have MANY options for organic produce but, yesterday I went to gather ingredients for a pasta salad and I looked at the fresh cauliflower-“ regular” cauliflower was 2.59 per head, organic was 4.49 per head. When you are caring for an elderly parent and “subsidizing” two children who are both college students, price differences like that end-up breaking the bank. I used to have an enormous garden and I harvested fresh produce every year and grew anything you can think of (that grows in my climate zone) I had a dozen free-range chickens that would lay delicious and organic eggs-that ate only organically grown food. I don’t have the time or money to do that any longer. I had to move to a different house in a different neighborhood to care for my mother and my kids-who are adults but still like dad’s home-cooking!” Lol. Many people, like ME can not afford the money or the time to do the organic stuff anymore. I had 4 heirloom apple trees, black and red raspberries and saved seed from year to year so I didn’t even need to pay for a packet of seeds-all my plants were open-pollinated varieties. Anyone who garden’s seriously, knows how much work that is. I loved the work but I’m pushing 60 and I work full time and the new neighborhood is nice but it’s not nearly as conducive to big-time “urban gardening. I’m lucky to have the options at least, to pay the price for organic if I want and can afford it, but how do people that live in area’s without the selection of grocery stores and without a means for getting to other stores supposed to deal with it? Sorry. That was way too long. ✌🏼
After watching this I went 33 days no suger, no carbs and no booze and fasting 9pm till 2pm the next day. My blood triglycerides have gone from 2.57mmol/L (high) to 0.6mmol/L (normal).
Wow from 9 to 2
Don't make the mistake of thinking 33 days will cure you. Diets aren't a temporary fad, they are a lifestyle choice.
Keep it up
My triglycerides were 188 in March of 2023. I cut out carbs and sugar. I don’t really drink alcohol. My new results on July 10th: triglycerides we’re 146, and I lost 50 lbs. thank you Dr.
🎉awesome! Congratulations
Wow!! You guys are amazing

So what's the cure for cancer do u have the answer to that? Some people have no choice even if u have to go the conventional way!
@@lucylu9792 -- Some things have no cure. More important is what causes cancers, and most of them are caused by toxins in the environment (e.g., cigarette smoke, radioactive materials, etc.) so avoiding those is your best bet. I do know that tumors don't do very well on a keto or carnivore diet since they don't consume ketones, so that will probably help to some extent. But not all cancers are identical, and sometimes there's no known reason for why it occurs to a specific person. What I do know is that I don't consider poisoning myself with chemo and ruining the quality of my life just so I MIGHT live an extra couple of months to be "curing" anything, so I wouldn't go through that myself. If you want to, that's your choice though--more power to you. Just know that an industry that relies on you being sick in order to make money is disincentivized from seeking for and providing a real cure to you.
I started keto 6/2020. My triglycerides were 2172 and now they are down to 92!! I could not believe it!!! This really works!!
You just gave me some hope. My recent lab results showed me at 1195 while on Vascepa. I have been at 1350 without treatment. I'm glad I found this video and your comment!
Really Arabella? Congrats with that and what the hell you do? Please let me know. Thanks in advance 👏
@@parsoniareigns Keto. It’s the best!
I’m wondering if I increase fats and decrease carbs...what does that do to my total cholesterol and LDL?
Congratz... 👏👏👏 Im on the way doing this I hope I can down to normal.
my triglycerides were 500 long ago, i did keto for a year and they dropped to 130. came off keto for a year and its back into the 400s. gotta get back onto keto.
My triglycerides are 26. For the past few years I've had gluten sensitivity, and eliminated flour from my diet. I also eliminated added sugar to help with inflammation. I mostly eat meat, eggs, and vegetables. Not sure if this is why my triglycerides are only at 26, but I wanted to share my experience.
That is why and I commend you for taking your health into ur hands 🔥🩷
My trygliseride always in range 300 to 400; but when it's below 150 then it causes pancreatitis amylase and lipase high, please suggest how I can balance them
just got my lab work back today. Tri level was 30. I am mostly carnivore, 4-5 farm fresh eggs per day with lots of grass fed beef. Am I TOO low?
It’s simple, if you want to save your life or improve quality of life you have to listen to this doctor! If you don’t, Adios.
I reversed my type 2 diabetes by cutting carbs. My A1c is now 5.4 Thank you Dr Berry. I recommend you to all my friends and family. Namaste 🙏
My doctor say 5.4 is to high for your a1c it needs to be lower like 4.5 she said or lower
Congrats Christopher.
You look slim. Losing a lot of weight can do much incl diabetes.
You can donate blood. It’s a Dr. Berry hack
@@annapinkypinky2589 from doctors on line. 4.8 to 5.1 normal.
Pre diabetes 5.7 to 6.4
Diabetic 7 and up.
If one would keep their blood sugar level in the 80 to 100 range, this maybe good.
I am at 5.8 and at my next 6 mos ck, my goal is 4.8 to 5.1. I will take 5.3. Smiles. I am doing 2 meals a day and 20 hrs fasting. By accident I lost 8 lbs in 21 days. That was not goal. The a1c is.
In March, my triglycerides exceeded 900..OFF the charts. Discovered the proper human diet in June. Sept labs- down to 216. Still above 150, but not bad in 90 days. Thanks Dr. B!
I’ve had pancreatitis 9 times. Each time triglycerides have been over 3000. I’m not over weight, athletic, and don’t eat terribly…. what kind of diet are you on? Any insight would be appreciated
@@christiancardenas584 that’s scary! The advice I’m seeing is to go straight carnivore.
Agreed! Get the book "The Carnivore Diet"
And was that from cutting carbs out you say?
Wow !! Amazing
Interesting! I don't have high triglycerides and don't know of anyone I know that has told me they do, but I am terribly curious and love to learn. They started my mom on statins which I objected to and she then refused. That was decades ago. She turned 102 in December and goes to church with me on Sundays. Great grandma fell off the step ladder washing the windows on her house at 102 but was nothing but black and blue, and lived in her own house taking doing the cooking for her daughters whose husbands had died, until they didn't wake up from smelling breakfast one morning and found her dead at 104 for no apparent reason. She wasn't on anything either, and her only problem was hearing if she couldn't see your lips. Relatives always ask my opinion and all I do make sure it is science that is driving it, and if there is another way other than pills. Thank you for posting.
Jack T, we can only hope to live a long healthy life as your family members. To Good Health!
Wow! Sounds My husband's grandmother who died of "old age" at 107! I love talking about her. That woman took no medications at all, had only dentures and catatact surgery. WEnt to bingo very weekend and even those trips by bus that went to Louisiana ! She broke her left hip and later her right hip when she was in her "early" 100s and survived them. She ate everything! Were Hispanic (Mexican) so she ate all the classic tex mex foods and coffee! I miss her!
3 years on keto and my triglycerides went from 125 to 49, My HDL went from 24 to 45
It must work...thx for sharing and caring ❤
Four months on very low carb / keto and my TG went from 180 to 60
@@dunuth really? What r u not eating?
@@UniqueMechanics No added sugar in any form. No bread, pasta, and no grains whatsoever (cereal, oatmeal, corn, wheat, rice), no potatoes and no root vegetables (with few exceptions like radishes). No milk and no milk products that are high in sugar. Basically only aged cheese, butter/ghee and heavy cream in terms of dairy. No fruit juices. No fruits except whole berries, avocados, lemons/limes and tomatoes (and in small amounts). No seed / corn / soy / "vegetable" oils.
One year on low carb and moderate exercise and my triglycerides went from 216 to 67
You win the Nobel prize for saving the world!! 🎖️God bless!
I second that
I third that.
I 4th that!!
Amen to that 😊 🙏
My triglycerides were high and I have/had metabolic syndrome as well as T2 diabetes for 5+ years that I know of. I reduced my carbs intake to less than 25g a day, increased saturated fat in my diet, reduced my eating window to four hours and occasionally fast for up to five days. My Hba1C is 5.6, I’ve lost 14kilos in a year and feel energetic and full of clear brain power without the need for an afternoon nap as I used to have. I am 75 in a couple of months and the only thing that is needed is a plan and will-power.
why do you even need to live over 60, what the f for?. enjoy your meals to the fullest, thats living. Why hide in the closet and say you're living?
@@azharm950360?? You've got to kidding! 😅
Am inspired by your testimony here. Hope for my families sake I will make it to 75, as I originally planned for anything past 50 as a bonus.
@@azharm9503 speaking for yourself - even better living.
Man, this explains a bunch! I'm 64 and relatively healthy - except for pancreas divisium (very rare) and pancreatitis. The only levels that have ever been too high on my panels have been triglycerides. This explains a lot - I will start today! I have TONS of carbohydrates to cut out...
Look at fasting!!!! Water and minerals for at least three days! Eat at six in morning, then noon, then start your fast! Your liver will run out of carbs to feed the body, then it makes a different carb called, Koteen. This feeds your body and starts reprogramming it. It changes cholesterol levels and then it changes into peroxide that cleans the body. Five days , would be better!! Please do some research . Good luck!!
Same here, got the news last week, carbs gotta go ✌️
@@stevehamman4465 three days 😞🥀
@@stevehamman4465 What's Koteen?
@@coldenhaulfield5998 your liver does different things! After it gives out carbs,,,, and the body runs out of carbs , the liver makes a different carb koteen!! It goes into starvation mode and makes kotene! No food,, just water and supplements!! The kotene reprograms the body and cleans it !! Please do your own research!!! It's called fasting! 3--5--7day fast!
My TGL went down from 195 to 65 in 6 months of keto
I have been doing a ketovore diet for almost a year now. After 7 months on the diet, my triglycerides dropped from 797 to 349. Obviously still very high, my doctor insisted the diet isn't working and that I am at high risk of a heart attack or stroke (especially given family history). She wants to put me on a pill, but I pleaded with her to let me go a little longer on the diet and see if the number comes down. All my other lab numbers were normal, including my A1C and glucose levels (I am..or was..a type 2 diabetic). I do not eat sweets, don't drink, and avoid carbs as much as possible. I am typically consuming under 50 carbs a day and I do a 16 hour fast each day. This is the only "diet" I've ever been on where I'm not starving all the time. Thanks for all you do Dr. Berry!
Chad, try sage tea. It apparently has metformin-like effects without being a Dreaded Statin. See "Effects of cholinesterase inhibiting sage (Salvia officinalis) on mood, anxiety and performance on a psychological stressor battery." Neuropsychopharmacology. 2006 Apr;31(4):845-52. PMID: 16205785 -- David O Kennedy, Sonia Pace, Crystal Haskell, Edward J Okello, Anthea Milne, Andrew B Scholey
Try even less TOTAL carbs per day... Under 20
Why would you plead with a doctor to stay on the diet? It's not their choice, it's yours. They can't make you take the meds or get off the diet. If they insist on writing you a prescription, you are under no obligation to get it from the pharmacy. Do your own thing and go back and get a new blood test when you're ready. If the results are good then no harm, no foul and the doctor will go with the flow. If not and the doc gives you a hard time then F her. Leave and get a new doctor who's more knowledgeable and respects your wishes. Doctors work for us. Remember that.
Don't plead with no doctor to let you keep trying what you see working. You don't work For the doctor he/she works for you. Thats why you can choose another one
Triglycerides from fat are an energy source. Try increasing total calories eaten and see if that helps.
Also, taking a day of eating unprocessed carbs can help plummet triglycerides in healthy people.
It doesn't get any better than this. You go to a doctor and pay a lot, but you are not told how it's done. Thanks Dr. Ken for your advise, it's not only free, it's also very easy!
You're literally saving lives with this valuable information. Thanks

My blood pressure was 199/94 in 2017 & I was prescribed yet ANOTHER HBP medicine. I've been following your youtube channel, purchased your book and have been following it to the letter since April 2020.

Thank you Dr. Berry for caring enough about people to share your knowledge 😊 🎉🎉
Better advice than I have ever gotten from any of my doctors !
THIS VIDEO RIGHT HERE got me into my Carnivore path and on the road to fixing my decades-long high triglycerides and cholesterol conditions. Found the video as I was laying in a hospital bed, recovering from L1 corpectomy and T12-L2 fusion brought on by a compression fracture caused by a single plasmacytoma around the L1 vertebrae. The VA doctors always said exactly the same thing, that it was hereditary and prescribed Lopid (had a really severe reaction to it) and then later fenofibrates and Omega3 supplements which did not help much. They suggested to limit my fat and alcohol intake and to exercise more, which I did, but NEVER mentioned lowering my carb/sugar intake which it wasn't that high, or so I thought. Thank you Dr. Berry! 100+ days in Carnivore and those conditions are now gone, my surgery recovery have been very fast, lost a few pounds (wasn't obese to begin with but welcomed) and hopefully, will keep future tumors from developing. Saludos desde Puerto RIco!
Went carnivore 6 months ago! Triglycerides down from 427 to 91. You can do it too! OMAD and IF. Haven't felt this good in 30 years. Thank you Dr. Berry! Metformin cut 50% going for 100 in another 6 months! Only bad thing is I might have to get a second job cause it looks like I'm going to out live my pension. LMAO. I love it. Thank you Father God!

I have been on Keto diet for almost a year. I have reduced my triglycerides by half. It blew my doctor's mind.
Do you also fast with Keto just curiuos ...Im a bit nervous withh just finding out my lvls and asking cuz your reply is amazing
@@Naarvana thanks for your message. Yes, while I was doing strict keto meal plans; I did intermittent fasting -- eat during an 8 hour window and fast for 16 hours , every day. I maintained this diet for two years, and was very happy with results. I still do daily intermittent fasting, but I am not strict on my keto meal plan. I have a yearly check on my triglycerides and they are now within 'acceptable' normal parameters. This was acheived by simply changing my eating habits and simple exercise. no meds etc. Make a choice, most of our struggles are in our own head. Good luck.
3 years ago my Triglycerides reading was 4.9 mmol/L and got it down to 0.5 mmol/L and now sits at 1.25 mmol/L so yes definitely works and ratio between HDL and Tryg is great, thanks Dr Berry
Thanks Dr. Berry! Your advice is always clear and concise! Invaluable support❣️
Not so many views; however, this an extremely important video. Excellent work, Ken.
I have been battling High TGs for years though my Doctor never really explained to me the why. After COVID hit I had stopped exercising and was not following NSNG very closely at all eating like crap and BOOM out of the blue I get massive painful attack in the midsection one late afternoon at work, ended up vomiting on drive home. Wife thought I was having a heart attack because I was ashy and grey, rushed me to the ER. When I first arrived they kept drawing blood and telling me the machine did not like my blood, turned out my Triglycerides were off the chart along with my Lipase, and my pancreas was swollen. My blood looked like a purple milkshake. Then they started asking me how much I drank every day (I don't had not had a drink in months just a lot of McDs) 2 days later after having spent 18 hours in ICU on Insulin drip I got out and found food jeezus never going back. The last 2 days in the hospital they kept trying to feed me fruit, fruit juice, artificially sweetened pudding and jello. I said no just beef broth and eggs and bacon. No one in the place would believe me when I said I had been eating too much sugar and carbohydrates, they would have given me toast and jam if I let them.
Can you provide the link to the drugs you said be careful of?
I would like that video also. Glad you are better now...thank God!
I had basically the same experience my triglycerides were 7,500!!!!! Pancreatitis attacks, ICU twice, red nodules on my knees and elbows, my A1c was 13.5. Now I’m doing keto and time restricted eating windows. Feeling much better, average blood sugar is down 100 points in 6 weeks so far.
Mike, what a fright to get! And the most shocking bit was this: " The last 2 days in the hospital they kept trying to feed me fruit, fruit juice, artificially sweetened pudding and jello." That really is criminal. And it is EXACTLY what old people's homes and hospitals feed people - and it promotes vulnerability to COVID as well.
Its hard to get healthy around Medical drones.
@@chadchurch9609 oh no! Same here! Mine was 7500, ICU three weeks. Was managed for two years and was off statin, then BOOM! Back up to 1700.
Thank you for explaining this so clearly! I was baffled by my sudden (always been perfectly healthy) lipid results saying high triglycerides. I eat a generally healthy diet and move often but in these last few months I have been having a lot of soda. Now I know what's caused it, thanks again!
I lowered my triglycerides 400 points by doing keto for 6 months! I am at 146 (now) and I still drink but only straight whiskey. My HDL went from 35 to 45 also! I did this to loose weight and avoid taking statins for high cholesterol (250 stayed exactly the same). My Dr is so happy with the results he's onboard with no statins and to continue what I am doing now.
Dr KB - So appreciate the work and effort of both you and Neisha. Wonder if you could add another video on this topic covering the Triglyceride/HDL vs the Total Cholesterol (good HDL vs so called bad LDL) as predictors of cardiovascular disease.
Just got my lab results. Ouch! This is exactly what I needed! Thank you so much.
Dr Berry always talks straight from the hip!
Thank you sir! 🙏
Thank you to everyone for sharing your personal stories in the comment section along with your blood work. This helps put a reference point along with what what worked and what did not. This definitely lets people who have been newly diagnosed with high triglycerides to learn from all of you. Keep on sharing!
We ❤ you! How could we not! Thanks for your time, knowledge,and research. Your help is priceless !
after a stroke the neurologist explained to me they have discovered high triglycerides are the primary cause of strokes and heart attacks. He said direct sugars is the primary problem. I cut out ALL sugars and my triglycerides dropped from 125 to 76 in about eight weeks. Then, I found you and it has gotten even better plus, now I get to enjoy lots of meat and fat and I continue to lose weight (and that is not even my goal) (just a bonus).
Did you cut all carbs? Or just added sugars? Curious how many carbs you eat daily estimated
I'm 48yo was recently diagnosed with high triglycerides. My doctor said it could damage my pancreas and want to put me on meds along with diet and exercise...
I came here to know what to eat and drink because I'm not a meat and fat eater. I just didn't understand where this was coming from..after watching your video, and I realized it was my love for pastries, high carbs food, all freezy slushy smoothies...
THANK YOU, DOC!
Thank u doc...with your info my husband was able to reduce his triglycerides to 88, from 220...within a 3-4 month period...cutting his carbs and IF..he is 61 ..he has had high triglycerides at least 10-15 yrs...thank u keep up the good work.
I really love this doctor's videos! He is great at explaining everything, breaking it down and sounds very encouraging!
He is changing my life and health for the better! I am forever grateful 💗❤️💗
I love his attitude!!
Triglycerides went from 246 to 84 after ditching carbs and refined sugar. The man speaks the truth.
How long did it take ??
Thank you so much! I like that you allow the patient/viewer to learn and try to improve.
I trust you Dr. Ken. Your advice helped my mom with her osteoporosis. Hope this one helps with my high triglycerides

Thank you doc, may God bless you and your family.
Thanks for this infomation. My trigy level is at 155. I stopped drinking 15 years ago. My HGB A1C was 6.8%. However, I do attribute this sugar spike to taking Rosuvastatin which I have now stopped. My doctor was asking me to go on statins ( with a cholesterol of about 220 at age 71 ) and about a month ago I did start and now with this spike in the A1C I have stopped the statin & will follow your leads. Thanks !!
Thanks so much for sharing your experience and knowledge here. You are a life saver!!
Thanks Doc, I don’t have any health issues, but I watch all your videos to make sure I stay that way. 🤩👍
I enjoy your videos!
On keto. Was concerned...but.. Just got blood results back today 04/2021. It seems that it's finally leveling off as I do keto. Interesting!
Went from 139 down to 115lbs. Enjoy your videos...and they are more current. Thnx!!
Just re'cvd results.

I am just now seeing this video and wish I had found your channel years ago. My triglyceride level was 200 2 years ago and my doctor put me on a low dose statin drug. However, my TG level now is 275. I have learned from your video that my increase in TG level is due to high carb diet, weight gain and cortisone injections. No other doctor has educated me on the ways to decrease TG or the long term effects of high TG!
I am making some changes ( losing weight, Exercising , eating healthy/low carb diet, taking niacin and omega 3) and finally feel I can have control over my own health!
I'm about to turn 64. when I was 60 my triglycerides were up to the dangerous level. I got rid of the bad carbs (and most carbs) and ate more good fats. In 8 months I lost 45lb and my blood levels was more than cut in half. 4 years later, weight is still lower and blood levels are great. I changed my way of eating. What the Doc says worked for me! cheers
What good fats did you have?
@@Photogal I used coconut MCT oil and ghee from grass fed cows, olive oil and avocado oil. Also, we can get beef, pork and chicken locally so those pasture finished animals have good fat.
@@papadawg3172 thank you I just bought ghee but not fancy on taste…yet lol
@@Photogal give it time 🙂
This is the one that I have been waiting for! Thank you so much!! I finally understand. My triglycerides are at 300. I started keto, but it seemed so inconvenient. Now, I see. This will kill me. I love your videos. I thank you so much!
If keto is inconvenient then do carnivore. Easy and very convenient.
Thank you Dr. Berry and Neisha for all your hard work! I’m trying to get the word out with those I meet. These videos make it easy for me to direct people where to go to find good information for themselves.
This doctor is spot on! I was struggling to lower my trygs that we’re at 250 and just by cutting down on corn tortillas and dumping soft drinks I lowered it to 75!! And the best part is I can have my ribeye steaks and eat them too!!
Awesome 🎉. Congratulations 🎉. Look for tortillas made out of cactus. They look and taste a lot like corn tortillas.
Very helpful video. My triglycerides is way very high in the 800s. I will follow these steps and will have my labs in six weeks. More power to your channel Doc. Just subscribed😊
You are such a stand up man Dr.Berry. I always trust that you will try to have the most up to date and proper information and I can sense your genuine care for doing what’s right! Thank you for being a solid source of knowledge for us all in this world of sickness and disease. Truly grateful for you and your work!! 🙏🏼
AMEN
I do all you say only thing I do is eat one whole lemon...peel and all a day. I have not had a drop of alcohol for decades. I am carnivore since that momumental day and the ensuring great renderering of fat in a week. How can I tell if pancreas is healthy?
Doc. You present clear facts that make sense and have given me hope. Thank You so much! Got tested today because of mild chest pain (ECG Normal) I'm 54, have a bad family history (male family members had lots of heart attacks in their 50's and 60's) and am sitting at around 680. I was even a vegan for a while and never went below 350... I don't really understand because I'm only 5 KG's overweight & I haven't eaten high amounts of processed foods or bad carbs in the last few years, but perhaps I'm more sensitive to smaller amounts than most as you suggest, so will cut down on fruit to 1 pc a day and total carbs to 50. Hopefully still have a chance to turn things around. Will take immediate action.
Any update on your triglyceride level? Have you been consistent below 50g of carbs per day?
If I were you I'd get a CAC score done. I'm 76 and my number is 305. I do have an occasional angina attack. I'm working on reducing my plaque.
Contrary to what most believe - vegan is not the best diet. It tends to be heavy in carbs. Carbs cause the liver to create cholesterol and then they have health issues. Many of my vegan friends are on statins. I eat meat in moderation and am fine. We are all in our 50s.
Thank you for this No Nonsense, Straight Forward Information.
Thank you so much for this info Dr! I am learning a lot with your videos, you are so nice to take the time to educate us!
I have had triglyceride numbers that was so high, they had no way to measure it. They calculated it to be, between 2o,000 and 30,000. Of course my cholesterol count was 4,750. That's how they got those T levels. All this was caused by out of control diabetes. Been on a low carb diet since then. Have lost 90 lbs. Diabetes has been controlled. Keto has changed my life.
Thank you Dr. Berry for all these informations which my doctors never mention.
Great information as always. Thank you Dr. Berry!
Thank you for this video. Just sent to my beloved aunt who is high cholesterol has struggled with weight and is debating keto. I really hope she does it🙏🏽
Simple truth with regard to dangers of high carbs consumption that has been explained beautifully!
Just got my labs back. Only wanted to run them for my iron level, which my H&H is high. So I'm giving blood yo get that down. My triglycerides are at 140. The doc of course is focused on my total, which is close to 400. I gave the receptionist a cliff notes explanation of how my body is burning fat instrad of carbs and as a result I have fat floating around in my blood. I told her if my triglycerides are at 140 then I'm super happy.
Thank you Ken !! You’re Always giving us the Very BEST Advice for our Health 🙏🏼❤️
Thank you for the message Dr Berry!
My triglycerides have come down from 276 to 156 on a ketogenic/low carb diet over 2 years. I'm cutting back on the wine and beer and getting more exercise to see if I can get it below 150. Ten years ago it was 72. Also taking cod liver oil which has been shown to lower triglycerides. My HDL has increased from 40 to 67, so I am on the right track. Thanks Dr. Berry!
Thanks Dr Berry. I've just been put on medicine for this condition just last week.
Correct on the diagnosis: my Care Physician did exactly what you said: following “practice” protocol. Statin was suggested - I said noway in hell. We chatted. When I was leaving she made a comment that I should look into low card - drop all sugars and proceeded foods. Didn’t really understand her statement but something clicked - I went home and found your channel and several other Keto LC sites. This was 3 years ago. In my adult life I have never felt better. Advanced Senior and not going back. Have never been on a prescription and will not. Diet and nutrition my new path. Your KETO 101 is fabulous. First thing I did was clean out the pantry.
Thanks for your advice, Dr. Berry!
Thank you. This is something I have been trying to get my wife to understand. She is so big on fruit smoothies, that have a lot of sugars, and she said it has to be good because it’s fruit so it’s got to be good for you. So I will be showing her this great presentation. Thank you,, I would like to have her around for a while.
Have your wife watch videos by Dr. Robert Lustig about sugar!
Maybe she can add kale in her smoothies to offset some of the natural sugars, if she’s using berries there’s a lot of antioxidants
I GREATLY appreciate the info you provide on your channel.
Earlier this year, my cardiologist called to tell me my lab results showed my triglycerides were elevated and greater than 400, She prescribed a statin. Within a short time period after beginning the medication, my right shoulder and left hip ached so badly it interrupted my sleep. In order to find the root cause, I decided to discontinue my medication and began eating strict keto, in conjunction with IF.
Approximately six weeks after changing my lifestyle, my new labs revealed the combination of keto & IF, as well as total abstinence from alcohol, lowered my triglycerides from >400 to 128. The quick impact was startling and more than I hoped for.
Great medical advice. Thank you for caring
Keto in conjuction of IF. What does IF mean?
How did you lower your triglycerides? What did u eat and not eat? My triglyceride is 350 😭
Should I eliminate 1/3 cup of Oatmeal and 1/2 cup of Quinoa that I eat daily?
Please help 🙏. Thank you.
@@Cool-tp7kc IF = Intermittent Fasting. Quinoa, Oats, Millet, Rice, Potato, all grains and fruit be understanding of carbs
@@Cool-tp7kc intermittent fasting, look it up. Give up all the grains, not required on a good low carb diet.
Did you fire your doctor?😂
Absolutely true.
Thank you for all your efforts.
Hi Dr. Berry
Thank you for this information. I’m wondering if you ever do phone consultations and what the procedure and charge is? I am interested in some clarifications on a lab test. Thank you for your service in educating us all!
Good information, as always. Thanks! The only thing I would add is a reminder that while we don’t need to fast when having our A1C checked, we DO need to fast when having triglyceride levels checked.
No doctor has ever told me that 😫
@@Jessica-tz5cl I have never heard that in my life and get my A1C checked on a regular basis. Am always told to fast 12 hours!
I love how doctors just talk like it's normal for everyone to be a raging alcoholic all the time. Who can even afford that in this economy? I had 1 margarita the other day and it was probably my first drink this year. That was in November. I don't think cutting alcohol consumption would be very beneficial to my triglycerides since it is already near 0 already.
Dr Berry deserves some type of health education award 🥇!!!!!!!! Love this channel!!!!
Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge!
My late husband was dx with 4,000 triglycerides, even with repeat blood tests. Medication got it down to 2,000 but never lower. His total cholesterol was originally 8,000.That was eventually lowered to 4,000. He eventually passed from CHF. His mother also had elevated triglycerides, although not as bad. This information was not promoted 15 /20 years ago.
*Discovering your FOOD HERITAGE is the key! Humans having being hunting, fishing and eating meats for 500,000 years. Flour and Sugar are TOXIC to our systems causing a SLOW DEATH.

@@johnsluggerwhat are some of the main things in your diet? My tri’s are 214, so I need to drop it at least 100 points. I don’t drink alcohol and very little sweets. Fairly heavy on carbs because I lift weights.
@@natbornpuller *I live on just Chicken, Fish and cruciferous vegetables. Carbs are just like eating sugar and they destroy your Pancreas and are the cause of INSULIN RESISTANCE. Switch to Chicken, Fish and Cruciferous Vegetables ONLY and it will totality fix you in 4 months. And NO DAIRY most of all!!! Mike sugar is pure Tri’s. You come from 200,000 years of hunting tribes! Grain in your gut is only 8000 years old and a way of storing food long term. One of mankind's worst inventions.*
Wow! This was a lot of great information in a short amount of time. These are things that I have never heard from a doctor. I am so grateful that you take the time to make these videos. I truly believe that you are helping people to live longer and better lives. My daughter wanted to go on a diet and she asked me what is the first thing I should do? I said, no more sugar. Stop the cookies and the cakes and candy bars and just that alone will make you feel so much better. Until you cut out the sugar, you won't be able to stop craving it. God bless you, Dr. Sincerely, Carly
Great information. Thank you and GOD BLESS YOU.
You are a blessing. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us!
I had Pancreatitis 4 times. Please listen to this man. I almost died. I was 17 when it happened and not given proper guidance and got it 3 more times. Hospitalized 3 times. Birth control and elevated tryglycerides brought it on. It was the most painful thing ever. I was the youngest case in NY and then 13 year old came in with it same summer
How are you managing it now?
Apparently she is dead. Don’t listen to this man. He gave me high triglycerides
How r u doing now
How are you managing
On my awesome KETO diet I have dropped my triglycerides from 178 to 73 !! My ratio of Tri/HDL is 1.04 which is great ! My current goal is to get it down below 1.Thanks to your videos and the keto way of living ! Sugar=POISON !
If I recall, for white people, the limit is 2.5 and for black people, the limit is 1.5 in general.
Can u share the keto diet pls
You're still my good caring Doctor..God bless you
Appreciate the insight Dr. Berry. Great Video
Went from 605 triglycerides and 9.5 a1c to 143 triglycerides and 4.9 a1c in 3 months. Thank you!!!
may i know what steps you followed?
@@SandeepCYMR I did just what the video said to do. No vegetable oil. Olive oil only. Cut out sugar. Very low carbs. Plenty of meat mostly chicken but bacon and ham and eggs for breakfast. Only bread is healthy habits low calorie whole grain. 3000 mg of fish oil daily. Low carb vegetables mostly broccoli, cauliflower and squash. And no longer use margarine, land of lakes butter with olive oil.
@@davidleonard8369 thankyou so much. Very detailed and informative
My triglycerides r high.but i cannot eat meat cos of high uric acid levels.what to do
My triglycerides can get so high that I get light headed & nauseas. When this happens It helps if I immediately do anything that is exercise. And it’s true , I have an extremely high carbohydrate diet.
Thanks Dr. Berry, for confirming the high sugar connection to this condition.
Thank you for giving the information in mini moles per litre as well! My triglycerides are high and hearing about the numbers I can understand really helps!!
Thanks for your information. In the past year did blood test every 3 months. The triglycerides results is around 500. Then when I were back from vacation, my triglycerides is near 1000. So, after I watched your videos I cut all carbs you can name it. Around Two months later, my triglycerides is 80s!!! Thank you 🙏🏻
On Monday I found out my triglycerides were at 242. I’m 38 and need to lose a good 30lbs. I don’t smoke or drink so my vice is junk food. I’m getting back into weight lifting & bicycling & starting a low carb health diet asap. Might go keto later but start off slow with very low carb. I’m just glad the doctor didn’t try to stick me on meds, said to try the natural way first.
Not a high score at all?
@@mattbroughton750 That was a year ago. They’re at 51 now.
I’ve had over 1000 on my trigs, been in the hospital twice for pancreatitis so I’m going to try this hope it works, I’m 43 and really need to fix this, thx for the information doc. I’m truck driver it’s hard
A B, Keep in mind you are not by yourself. Here's to Our health!
Good luck
How did it go? I'd love to hear as I got the same problem
I ended up in the hospital with trigs at 2000 but they cleaned by blood like they do with people with kidney problems, so my trigs are at 200.
I don’t see why they can’t do that every time my trigs get to 1000, it takes a year for them to get that high, took 2 years to reach 2000
@@tanitshkatanjusha the doctors where telling me they think it’s a dna issue, cause no matter what I do or pills I take it goes up. They explained they know a marathon running that is the same way, no matter what he does his trigs go up high,
Dear Dr.
My case, I am a 48 year old male, athlete, I do intermittent fasting 18:6 every day of the week (with some exceptions) and my diet is low carb, eating mostly nuts, fish (salmon), avocados, salads, chicken, eggs and dairy (cheese). My BMI is 23.5, my body fat is 13% and my visceral fat is excellent according to impedecia meters.
In my last blood test (the previous one was 2 years ago and I was not fasting), my total cholesterol was from 240 to now 290 mg/dL (they did not differentiate between HDL, LDL and VLDL) and triglycerides from 80 to 180 mg/dL.
I feel better than ever, energetically. I play beach volleyball and I have a lot of energy.
In the analysis I observed that the Acetone in urine was 10mg/dL so I was in ketosis since I had been fasting for 20 hours when I did the analysis. Also the Urea was slightly high at 54 mg/dL.
I believe that my triglycerides are elevated because my body is in ketogenic mode and uses them as its main source of energy and that is why they are elevated. The liver will be exporting VLDL and my adipocytes will be releasing triglycerides to the liver.
I would like to know your opinion about this situation (High Total Cholesterol, TG, and Urea), but the truth is that my condition is better than ever.
Thank you very much
As always fantastic advice dr Berry thank you for sharing and pls keep up the excelent job 🙏🏾👍🏾💪🏾
