Dr. Bikman is so gifted in the art of communication. His choice of words almost guarantee understanding of the subject matter. It's wild! Wonderful educator.
I tried for several years to get my sister to try keto and carnivore and sent her countless memes, articles, and videos but it was a Ben Bikman video that sent her down the path of carnivore.
I started carnivore Monday and I am loving it! I'm obese and diabetic , my gallbladder was removed couple years ago and I have fatty liver disease. I haven't been able to eat beef in years and very little other meats. I have been stuck on trying a vegan, a vegetarian and keto and all failed and I was horribly sick. I have only ate steak and eggs all week and I feel FABULOUS! I haven't weighed myself but I can feel it in my clothes already. I can not digest veggies or grains at all. I haven't had any gas or bloating all week. I thank The Most high above for stumbling onto your youtube!
Oh yes! I remember the feeling of wellness and contentment I developed after the first few days of meat and eggs. It was quite overwhelming to experience the absence of pain and discomfort. Some days are not quite so great, as your body adapts and heals, just remind yourself that the process is continuing when you stumble or get stuck. Cheering for you!
I’m 68 years old had a stroke 7 months ago did not eat meats was a vegan for 2 years now back to eating meat I am doing well and I can say it works thank you very much doc berry
I have FH and have had a stroke even though I lost weight. I think my CAC score of 117 is due more to over 60 years of eating too much sugar and highly processed foods. A little afraid to go full out carnivore, but def feel comfortable eating more beef, butter, and eggs, but still eat a lot of fruits and and non-starchy vegetables. It’s been easier to set a “bright line” about not eating “foods” that include added sugar, grains, and/or seed oils, but am still hesitating about going full carnivore. Is it possible that this kind of eating (carnivore) is better for the majority of people, but maybe not for me? I’m focusing on eating more fatty fish, but don’t like it yet.

All I can say is thank you Dr. Berry. I started a rather rough journey back in February this year. I had a boil that turned into septic shock on me. I ended up being taken to the hospital with a blood sugar level of 1099 and my ac1 was at a 12. After I was brought back down and recieved surgery I was given the news that I was type 2 and told how to maintain my problem. Man I was lost and I found you and a few others that helped guide me. I switched to very clean meat and good fat diet with a few vegetables here and there and cleaned up my whole diet and started 12-14 hour fasting and I went from 289-197 in 5 months. My ac1 is sitting at a 4.8 and my resting blood glucose is at 80. I no longer take the insulin or the metformin. You helped me through this scary and lost part of my life and just wanted you to know that you are making a difference and you helped me find my way. THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS.

I was literally reading "Why we get sick" this am while waiting to have my blood panel drawn at LabCorp. I added the fasting insulin test to boot. I have been following the keto diet for over a year now. Down 40lbs. I weigh less than I did in my junior year of high school. I am 45. I play competitive soccer 1 day a week and coach my 2 sons' soccer teams. I am now running 4-6 miles a week. My 2 older parents(75+) are in the throws of T2D, cardiomyopathy, afib, cancer, fatty liver, and more. I just wish I could get through to them with the PHD and what Prof.Bikman are all about!
I haven't even fully switched to lion diet because I can't put down the sweetened coffee with cream. Honestly those two are my weaknesses at this point -- the cream and sugar. But even with that, after a few weeks, I'm noticing all kinds of good. My muscle tone's increasing and I haven't started exercising, and my ability to relax is also greatly heightened -- I feel a deep relaxation where I used to feel a bit of fatigue, almost a stressful kind of tiredness. I think both of those changes might be related directly to the production of chemicals et al involved in muscle contraction.
Just today my primary doctor got mad because I will not take a statin. He told me the doctors I am listening to are quacks. He says the standard of care for a diabetic is to take statins. He says the bad things about statins are not true.
I have a high cholesterol which I have had for years. I read a book on cholesterol and did further research to find it’s normal with some ways of eating
If you opt to stay with this Doctor while searching for a more open-minded one, perhaps you might point him to some of the research that these doctors whom he is calling "quacks" are basing their knowledge on. It probably won't do any good but it's always worth a try.
This is the most helpful video I have listened to in a long time! Thank you, Dr. Berr and Professor Bikman! I had all of these questions about allulose, HbA1C, glycation and fructation, and uric acid. OUTSTANDING info! I'm so glad I got to meet you both in person too!
Great endeavor- American Diabetes Society...the time is right...I was type 2.... 6 yrs ago..did my research (bio science major UW Wi) found your videos, amongst other...and now I am pretty much normal..thank you Dr Berry
I will agree that this is one of the best interviews I’ve heard. I’m so excited to hear people start talking more about the flaws in the theory of evolution and opening their minds to the more reasonable and plausible theory of a creator!
Both doctors agreed there was evolution but Dr Bickman said no evidence. What neither said was the complete lack of evidence for macro evolution. Very short version my view. There are two types of evolution. Micro (adaption. Real) and macro (change from one kind to another. False). The chimp has 70% DNA a banana has 50% DNA. Macro Evolution is a Hypothesis not a theory. God did not use macro evolution, that would mean there was un living, illness, disease, osteoarthritis and tumours, before man arrived. At the same time it negates the death of a man on a cross. If God used macro evolution then He introduced sin NOT man, Which means we do not need Jesus to save us, we are innocent victims. Which we are not.
LOVED this conversation. The willingness to talk about evolution was so refreshing. My highly educated 30 something children get flustered with me when I call evolution a theory and not a law.
They’ll learn one day :) We have all taken a lot of information in this world as Truth, without understanding “how the sausage is made.” Many more false idols and sacred cows that don’t serve our best interests out there…best to ya 💪
It's a bad theory based on a poor usage of the scientific method. No one except God was there in the beginning. He told us what he did. I used to believe in evolution and called myself an atheist. But when I got better information I realized that the Bible was way more accurate than all of that stuff I was taught. None of the scientists that promote an old age of the universe and evolution were there in the beginning. And none of the methods that they use to extrapolate into the past are accurate Beyond a few thousand years. Which is what the Bible says about the age of the earth. Approximately 6,000 years.
Respectfully, this is a misunderstanding of language. Your words imply that there's some kind of hierarchy wherein a theory is inferior and "just a wild guess" but a law is superior and somehow more proven. That's just not how those words are used in science. Laws are predictive rules about how nature is expected to act under specific circumstances, often small enough to be written as an equation. Theories are overarching explanations of how and why nature works in those ways. In order to be widely accepted by scientists a theory must be well supported by many different lines of evidence over a period of time, including experimentation. Laws can be used as evidence to support theories but theories will never become laws because they serve a totally different function. Certainly Evolution is a Theory, but that does not make it lesser. One of these doctors is a cell biologist, which is built on *Cell Theory*.
What a valuable conversation! Thank you for what you’re doing! I’ll be supporting the ADS! Can’t think of three experts I’d trust more than Berry, Bikman, and Westman! As a nurse, these are the doctors I want to work for.
I dont go to the doctor unless its next to impossible for me to heal. Had a lump/cyst in my leg so had to go a few months ago. My doctor slowly explained to me why i need certain tests done (all age related,67 yrs old) and seemed to know ahead of time i was going to say no to all of them. He looked so sad, almost as if he regretted even having to ask me but there was a new assistant with him he was training. He asked me twice a year ago if ive had my jab. I said nope dont need it! So the last visit he asked/recommended that i have a bone density test, mammogram, shingles and a shot for old people pneumonia. I said no thanks to all. Theyre not pulling that crap on this girl! 🙏🏻❤️🤣
I just turned 63 last month and recently had bloodwork done for the 1st time since changing over to Carnivore and was informed by my GP that all but one of results she said are pristine. The exception being my cholesterol and she once again recommended going on statins which I politely refused. A cardiologist would want me on statins even tho I'm considered a low risk for heart disease. Go figure. I told my GP that I am eating low carb and she thought I would do well with the Mediterranean diet....no thank you. I feel better than I have in decades all thanks to people like Dr. Berry and others like him.
You did not mention if you were following a low carb diet. If not Doing so would be the best for your future health. Also watch the video of doctor Berry talking with doctor Berenstein about the positive effects of iodine.This may be the reason For your cyst.Having insufficient iodine seems to allow for more cancerous growths.
Great discussion fellas! Especially with the use of uric acid level being used as an indication of 'fructation'! Brilliant! Thumbs up for the A.D.S.🎉🎉🎉🎉😊❤
Started Carnivore 1st January this year, Im 69. My A1c was 5.4 on the 18th of May tested at the Public Health Collaboration Annual Conference 2024 in London. I was 16st 5 lbs now 12st 2lbs. Blood pressure was 237 / 172 now 145 / 85, can't seem to get it lower even though Im still taking 8mg Candesartan daily. All these videos from Berry / Unwin / Bikman etc have saved my life.
Have you tested your methylation genes? MTHFR MTRR MTR COMT and AHCY If your body can’t break down homocystein it will raise blood pressure. Basically you need methylated B-vitamins.
I Was told by my doctor I needed to be a vegetarian and take medication to lower my blood pressure. I ended up getting worse and I ended up having a stroke. I decided to just start eating meat and after 7 months I feel better. I no longer have high blood pressure or taking any medication. Whatever your going through I hope you feel better.
Vegetarianism is a bad nightmare ! You learned the hard way by being lied to by people pushing plant based BS ! And the proper human diet is making you healthy again, steak and eggs baby !
Both of you gentlemen are key people that help guide me to putting my T2D into remission starting 2 years ago. Along with that there have been a resolution of so many other health issues that have put in superb health as compared with myself just 2 years ago and prior. I have a new and much stronger life now. This has dramatically improved my ability to be of service to God, my family, and my community. Thank you both.
My two favorites! Two of the smartest guys on UA-cam. Excellent interview and I’m so excited about the new ADS. It’s about time the experts who actually want to help T2 diabetics reverse their condition put out accurate information. Well done! ❤❤❤
I agree with you about the commercials affecting some of us. It isn't until I see a commercial that I crave almost anything. It hits me hard mentally. Also smelling baked good is another trigger.
A1c from 8.9 to 4.8 in just 3 months. Also from 86kg to 69kg in just over 2 months. Carnivore is the way. Previously I was on a keto for 18 months, it helped clear my fatty liver, but my A1c remained the same.
Excellent video as always. Lots of relevant information here. Looking forward to the new diabetes organization, ADS. Hope it eventually replaces the ADA.
I had gout attacks that lasted for weeks with uric acid levels in the 8’s and 9’s. I began a plant-based diet with zero fruit and low carbs, e.g. no grains, legumes, etc. Uric acid shot up to 12.1! So I committed to carnivore. Now my uric acid is in the 6’s and has been as low as 5.6. This video is getting me interested in allulose to further lower the levels. Thank you both!!
I went from a vegetarian high-glycemic diet to a healthy keto diet & IF. My bloodsugar went down but my HbA1C went up by 0.3 points !! I ve been freeking out until I heard this podcast today. Thank you so much.
Ben and Ken are kings in my opinion! Wishing they were here in England have learnt so much from them, often to face criticism from my peers! Thanks for your advice, i still keep sharing despite the challenges from my friends.
I have stage 3kidney decease I am 78 Have no high BP no heartdecease no diabetic Lost 20No pounds in the last year No alcool or soda for 3years Carnivore for 3months My LDL is a bit elevated Refuse to take Statins Glyceride is 1.4 HDL is 5 Thank you for the information
At 78 you need a raised LDL. T Cells go into retirement at our age and LDL is part of the immune system. C victims of the past 4 years were more likely to survive C if they had a higher than normal LDL. Those with what Drs say have normal LDL were more likely to PASS. You also need Vitamin D tablets & K2. Our skin does not absorb the suns rays very well the older we get. LDL does not cause heart attacks high Insulin does. Dr Berry has a few videos mentioning Cholesterol
So glad I now understand what omega 3 does. I've had to stop taking it as a supplement because I end up with bruising under the skin when I bump/scrape myself; happens mainly on my forearms. When I started low carb I was using a lot of almond flour and not eating much fish. Over time I have eliminated the almond flour (I use coconut flour now) and I'm eating more salmon.
Thank you for giving us answers that are saving lives. For many years I have noticed that when I am fasting and am cooking a meal for my family, that the smell of the cooking food is almost like having eaten. My hunger and weakness is greatly decreased in just smelling the food and possibly due to the business of working in the kitchen.
And there it is. My doctor could not give me an answer as to why my RBC is continuously been high for the past 5 years. You helped me realize that's my marker for the other problem I'm chasing, insufficient autophagy!
47:00 thanks you so much for this question Dr. Berry. I was not raised religious it as I age, I’ve become a believer in God and Christ. This is a great conversation and I love that you had this discussion.
My mind & memory is improving still after years of a Carnivore diet with sweet/carbo binges. Now on a strict Carnivore & in three weeks I notice improvements! 😊
Wow! I’m so glad listened to this! The conversation about the THEORY of human evolution shocked me (in a good way 🙂), and congratulations on forming the new ADS, which I will follow on X. Thank you, gentleman, for your work!
Interesting discussion in particular about the fact that fructose will not give any indication of A1c!!! However, the discussion about sugar replacement was a bit one-sided since you didn't mention the fact that substitute sugars/sweet taste can continue to drive the addiction to sugar/carbs which is something that I lived myself for many many years. Going carnivore and completely cutting out substitutes (and dairy) has been the only way my cravings have subsided. Not disappeared completely because the environment - cues and triggers me still from time to time. Hard to escape all the sugar/carb outlets even if I don't enter!!!
I disagree- they kind of referred to it by saying IF & “for those using”. I think they’re being realistic about sweetener usage, because as they related, they now know SMELLING the sugar or sweetener items INDUCE a BRAIN response. The Drs understand it is an addiction, the brain expects & wants the glucose because it has been exposed, trained to accept it, due to the effects on the brain.
@@texfarm6798 Whaaat? They wouldn't? "Hey listen here doc YOU work for ME you got that? When I ask for an insulin test I WANT an insulin test, whether you approve or not! If you DON'T write me down for an insulin test then you're fricken FIRED! GOT IT!"
@@nevillegoddard4966 Not in the UK. With the appalling NHS. You are chained to a catchment area, unless you can afford to go private. My doctor even refuses to give me a glucose monitoring machine even though N.I.C.E. says we are to have them and ample sticks & lancets.
So, believe PART of God's Word , but THROW OUT or CHANGE the parts you decide not to agree with because after all you are SO much smarter and well informed than GOD ALMIGHTY.🤔 Doesn't satan aka THE ETERNAL LOSER twist the Word & contradict God at every opportunity?🤔 Yes he does. There is a difference between adaptation & evolution. God created everything PERFECTLY and included built in abilities to adapt BECAUSE HE KNEW the fall by rebellion(not believing Him & CHOOSING to disobey DESPITE HIS WARNINGS) was going to happen, so HE built in the ability for His creation to survive until the Day of Redemption when HE will bring all creation back into His perfection.❤👍
@lcvb1624 It always makes me sad when people, really smart people, talk about evolution. Before I was saved I believed in evolution too, it does seem plausible to the unregenerated mind, but after I got saved and read the Bible with new eyes and prayed for wisdom I saw clearly that evolution just doesn't make sense.
First time I've heard of American Diabetes Society. This is real good news! It would be great if Dr Richard Bernstein could be part of this. His book and all he teaches is similar to yours and is what has kept my Type 1 Diabetic son's A1C at a steady 5.6 and lower rate at minimal insulin doses.
Give it a good few years everyone will regret consuming a food type that's not meant for humans. Professional herbalists do not use meat to heal the body they use herbs which heals everything wrong. It's not meat that has healed you it's the stopping of consuming bad foods which gives your body type mass inflammation because you replaced it with meat. People don't know how to listen to their bodies. Too much protein destroys kidneys and reduce lifespan.
As for the evolution argument, the Bible clearly states that we were made in Gods image. Adam also didn't start as a baby but a full grown man. Great discussion.
I absolutely loved the discussion about evolution and religion by two amazing brilliant scientists who are also devoted to their faith. We need to hear more of that.

unless you pick your own fruits or vegetables, all foods are "processed". need to get of this nomenclature of "processed". Nothing wrong with "processed" foods, as some foods need to be "processed" to be edible. better to define what is good or bad process. Also hate the term "ultra-processed", which to me is a an all encompassing meaningless terminology.
When I see a Ken Berry-Ben Bikman collaboration, I llsten as soon as I possibly can.
Brilliant, l had the pleasure of seeing both Dr. and the Prof at the PHC in London 2024👏
I was literally reading "Why we get sick" this am while waiting to have my blood panel drawn at LabCorp. I added the fasting insulin test to boot. I have been following the keto diet for over a year now. Down 40lbs. I weigh less than I did in my junior year of high school. I am 45. I play competitive soccer 1 day a week and coach my 2 sons' soccer teams. I am now running 4-6 miles a week. My 2 older parents(75+) are in the throws of T2D, cardiomyopathy, afib, cancer, fatty liver, and more. I just wish I could get through to them with the PHD and what Prof.Bikman are all about!
Mine tell me to eat veggies cause I need them! lol 😂 they don’t know all the chemicals on them.
I haven't even fully switched to lion diet because I can't put down the sweetened coffee with cream. Honestly those two are my weaknesses at this point -- the cream and sugar. But even with that, after a few weeks, I'm noticing all kinds of good. My muscle tone's increasing and I haven't started exercising, and my ability to relax is also greatly heightened -- I feel a deep relaxation where I used to feel a bit of fatigue, almost a stressful kind of tiredness. I think both of those changes might be related directly to the production of chemicals et al involved in muscle contraction.
Every phrase Dr Bikman says is a sheer diamond to enlighten our brains. We are so lucky to have you❤
Just today my primary doctor got mad because I will not take a statin. He told me the doctors I am listening to are quacks. He says the standard of care for a diabetic is to take statins. He says the bad things about statins are not true.
Hope you find a better doctor. I no longer trust any "scientist" who is closed to having old knowledge updated by better data.
I have a high cholesterol which I have had for years. I read a book on cholesterol and did further research to find it’s normal with some ways of eating
If you opt to stay with this Doctor while searching for a more open-minded one, perhaps you might point him to some of the research that these doctors whom he is calling "quacks" are basing their knowledge on. It probably won't do any good but it's always worth a try.
The Great Cholesterol Myth is a very informative book.
Sounds like you need a new doctor. I stay away from them as much as possible.
This is the most helpful video I have listened to in a long time! Thank you, Dr. Berr and Professor Bikman! I had all of these questions about allulose, HbA1C, glycation and fructation, and uric acid. OUTSTANDING info! I'm so glad I got to meet you both in person too!
Great endeavor- American Diabetes Society...the time is right...I was type 2.... 6 yrs ago..did my research (bio science major UW Wi) found your videos, amongst other...and now I am pretty much normal..thank you Dr Berry
I have been devoting my ears to Dr Bikman lately, seeing him here and there. Thank you both. 🙏👏
I will agree that this is one of the best interviews I’ve heard. I’m so excited to hear people start talking more about the flaws in the theory of evolution and opening their minds to the more reasonable and plausible theory of a creator!
Both doctors agreed there was evolution but Dr Bickman said no evidence. What neither said was the complete lack of evidence for macro evolution.
Very short version my view.
There are two types of evolution. Micro (adaption. Real) and macro (change from one kind to another. False). The chimp has 70% DNA a banana has 50% DNA. Macro Evolution is a Hypothesis not a theory.
God did not use macro evolution, that would mean there was un living, illness, disease, osteoarthritis and tumours, before man arrived.
At the same time it negates the death of a man on a cross.
If God used macro evolution then He introduced sin NOT man, Which means we do not need Jesus to save us, we are innocent victims. Which we are not.
LOVED this conversation. The willingness to talk about evolution was so refreshing. My highly educated 30 something children get flustered with me when I call evolution a theory and not a law.
They’ll learn one day :)
We have all taken a lot of information in this world as Truth, without understanding “how the sausage is made.”
Many more false idols and sacred cows that don’t serve our best interests out there…best to ya 💪
It's a bad theory based on a poor usage of the scientific method. No one except God was there in the beginning. He told us what he did. I used to believe in evolution and called myself an atheist. But when I got better information I realized that the Bible was way more accurate than all of that stuff I was taught. None of the scientists that promote an old age of the universe and evolution were there in the beginning. And none of the methods that they use to extrapolate into the past are accurate Beyond a few thousand years. Which is what the Bible says about the age of the earth. Approximately 6,000 years.
Respectfully, this is a misunderstanding of language. Your words imply that there's some kind of hierarchy wherein a theory is inferior and "just a wild guess" but a law is superior and somehow more proven. That's just not how those words are used in science. Laws are predictive rules about how nature is expected to act under specific circumstances, often small enough to be written as an equation. Theories are overarching explanations of how and why nature works in those ways. In order to be widely accepted by scientists a theory must be well supported by many different lines of evidence over a period of time, including experimentation. Laws can be used as evidence to support theories but theories will never become laws because they serve a totally different function. Certainly Evolution is a Theory, but that does not make it lesser. One of these doctors is a cell biologist, which is built on *Cell Theory*.
My belief is that my family has never had their knuckles rubbing the ground. 🙌😘
Absolutely lovely use of an hour for me. Thank you both.
Helping my dear familiy, e.o., especially my dear husband with a healthy and Wealthy lifestyle.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH DR. BERRY AND PROF. BIKMAN
What a valuable conversation! Thank you for what you’re doing! I’ll be supporting the ADS! Can’t think of three experts I’d trust more than Berry, Bikman, and Westman! As a nurse, these are the doctors I want to work for.
It's am a nurse I wish the same.
I dont go to the doctor unless its next to impossible for me to heal.
Had a lump/cyst in my leg so had to go a few months ago.
My doctor slowly explained to me why i need certain tests done (all age related,67 yrs old) and seemed to know ahead of time i was going to say no to all of them. He looked so sad, almost as if he regretted even having to ask me but there was a new assistant with him he was training. He asked me twice a year ago if ive had my jab. I said nope dont need it!
So the last visit he asked/recommended that i have a bone density test, mammogram, shingles and a shot for old people pneumonia. I said no thanks to all. Theyre not pulling that crap on this girl! 🙏🏻❤️🤣
Good for you Standing strong for your wellbeing & not trusting the pharmaceutical doctors!!!
I just turned 63 last month and recently had bloodwork done for the 1st time since changing over to Carnivore and was informed by my GP that all but one of results she said are pristine. The exception being my cholesterol and she once again recommended going on statins which I politely refused. A cardiologist would want me on statins even tho I'm considered a low risk for heart disease. Go figure. I told my GP that I am eating low carb and she thought I would do well with the Mediterranean diet....no thank you. I feel better than I have in decades all thanks to people like Dr. Berry and others like him.
Me too
Hallelujah
Amen GrammaPatriot!
You did not mention if you were following a low carb diet. If not Doing so would be the best for your future health. Also watch the video of doctor Berry talking with doctor Berenstein about the positive effects of iodine.This may be the reason For your cyst.Having insufficient iodine seems to allow for more cancerous growths.
What an interesting interaction. Thank you Dr. Berry and Dr. Bikman.
Thank you so much for this podcast with Dr Bikman. So informative.
Great discussion fellas! Especially with the use of uric acid level being used as an indication of 'fructation'! Brilliant! Thumbs up for the A.D.S.🎉🎉🎉🎉😊❤
Started Carnivore 1st January this year, Im 69. My A1c was 5.4 on the 18th of May tested at the Public Health Collaboration Annual Conference 2024 in London. I was 16st 5 lbs now 12st 2lbs. Blood pressure was 237 / 172 now 145 / 85, can't seem to get it lower even though Im still taking 8mg Candesartan daily. All these videos from Berry / Unwin / Bikman etc have saved my life.
Well done! It's obvious you're on the correct trajectory. I'm sure more improvements will come. Just give it time.
Me too. My bp just will not go under 140/78. 62 yo type 1 diabetic who’s normal weight. 😢
Have you tested your methylation genes? MTHFR MTRR MTR COMT and AHCY
If your body can’t break down homocystein it will raise blood pressure.
Basically you need methylated B-vitamins.
try seious isometric exercise. if has been shown o reduce systolic BP by 7+ points. Also focus on tthe nitric oxide production and serious breathwork
Try 7:38 L-citruline. Do your research first
I Was told by my doctor I needed to be a vegetarian and take medication to lower my blood pressure. I ended up getting worse and I ended up having a stroke. I decided to just start eating meat and after 7 months I feel better. I no longer have high blood pressure or taking any medication. Whatever your going through I hope you feel better.
Vegetarianism is a bad nightmare ! You learned the hard way by being lied to by people pushing plant based BS ! And the proper human diet is making you healthy again, steak and eggs baby !
Both of you gentlemen are key people that help guide me to putting my T2D into remission starting 2 years ago. Along with that there have been a resolution of so many other health issues that have put in superb health as compared with myself just 2 years ago and prior. I have a new and much stronger life now. This has dramatically improved my ability to be of service to God, my family, and my community. Thank you both.
Awesome!! Can't wait to get Bikmans new book!
My two favorites! Two of the smartest guys on UA-cam. Excellent interview and I’m so excited about the new ADS. It’s about time the experts who actually want to help T2 diabetics reverse their condition put out accurate information. Well done! ❤❤❤
I agree with you about the commercials affecting some of us. It isn't until I see a commercial that I crave almost anything. It hits me hard mentally. Also smelling baked good is another trigger.
That's me too!
What a great interview from my 2 favorite doctors. 😊
A1c from 8.9 to 4.8 in just 3 months. Also from 86kg to 69kg in just over 2 months. Carnivore is the way.
Previously I was on a keto for 18 months, it helped clear my fatty liver, but my A1c remained the same.
Do you count your calories? You have an idea on how many calories you are eating around?
@@kyriosgab7854 I don’t count calories, just eat as much as I like, but I used to do intermittent fasting for the first 2 months
I would like to ask I go give my blood plate too american red cross everything go from 12 to 7.5 my
I haven’t said “Amen” during a metabolism discussion before, but may I repeat…
AMEN!!!
What a GREAT exchange. Thank you 🙌
Great conversation!! I have learned so much. Love Prof. Bickman
Congratulations on the new American Diabetes Society 👏 🙌 😀
Great to watch both of you together!!!! Thanks for all the information!!!
Excellent video as always. Lots of relevant information here. Looking forward to the new diabetes organization, ADS. Hope it eventually replaces the ADA.
Dr. Bikman is fantastic. I've learned so much from his metabolic classroom.
AWESOME! Thank you for this!!!!!
Loved this conversation. Thank you both Dr. Berry and Ben Bickman.
I love you guys and I have been educated by both of you for a few years. What great topics and new info today. May the blessings be.
I’m
This is a discussion worth saving. Thanks so much.
Thank you both so much!!!
Thank you both so Berry much ♥️😊
You both with Dr Westman and Dr Boz are amazing Educators ♥️
My Triglyceride/HDL ratio is less than 1.0 !! 🎉 🥳 🎉
Thank-you Dr. Berry !! 👨⚕️
I have tremendous respect for Dr Ben Bikman , his energy n his humility
A man of integrity
You just blew up the chat!! It's going to get wild now!!!
This is awesome! Please keep shining light into these dark mysteries
Congrats on developing the ADS. In the spirit of Dr. Berry: "About damn time"!
I had gout attacks that lasted for weeks with uric acid levels in the 8’s and 9’s. I began a plant-based diet with zero fruit and low carbs, e.g. no grains, legumes, etc. Uric acid shot up to 12.1! So I committed to carnivore. Now my uric acid is in the 6’s and has been as low as 5.6. This video is getting me interested in allulose to further lower the levels. Thank you both!!
ADS needs to focus on changing the entire food industry and government guidelines to be able to make a real difference.
I went from a vegetarian high-glycemic diet to a healthy keto diet & IF. My bloodsugar went down but my HbA1C went up by 0.3 points !!
I ve been freeking out until I heard this podcast today.
Thank you so much.
Dr Ben is a very good doctor
He is a scientist, not a medical doctor, but he still knows much more about human diabetes, diet, than any medical doctor I know.
Excellent life learning life saving video. THANK YOU ❤
I think training yourself to not crave sweets is far better than trying to find a sugar substitute.
Agreed
Thank you for sharing, Dr Berry and Dr Bikman. 🙂
Great interview! Great information!
Ben and Ken are kings in my opinion! Wishing they were here in England have learnt so much from them, often to face criticism from my peers! Thanks for your advice, i still keep sharing despite the challenges from my friends.
god bless & thank u gentleman
Excellent discussion! Thank you both.
shot of cream every time Ben says insulin resistance
Excellent interview session by two great guys!
I have stage 3kidney decease I am 78 Have no high BP no heartdecease no diabetic Lost 20No pounds in the last year No alcool or soda for 3years Carnivore for 3months My LDL is a bit elevated Refuse to take Statins Glyceride is 1.4 HDL is 5 Thank you for the information
At 78 you need a raised LDL. T Cells go into retirement at our age and LDL is part of the immune system. C victims of the past 4 years were more likely to survive C if they had a higher than normal LDL. Those with what Drs say have normal LDL were more likely to PASS.
You also need Vitamin D tablets & K2. Our skin does not absorb the suns rays very well the older we get.
LDL does not cause heart attacks high Insulin does. Dr Berry has a few videos mentioning Cholesterol
I am so grateful to watch this video. So informative and so important the information is. Thank you!
So glad I now understand what omega 3 does. I've had to stop taking it as a supplement because I end up with bruising under the skin when I bump/scrape myself; happens mainly on my forearms. When I started low carb I was using a lot of almond flour and not eating much fish. Over time I have eliminated the almond flour (I use coconut flour now) and I'm eating more salmon.
Thank you for giving us answers that are saving lives. For many years I have noticed that when I am fasting and am cooking a meal for my family, that the smell of the cooking food is almost like having eaten. My hunger and weakness is greatly decreased in just smelling the food and possibly due to the business of working in the kitchen.
Excellent interview.
And there it is. My doctor could not give me an answer as to why my RBC is continuously been high for the past 5 years. You helped me realize that's my marker for the other problem I'm chasing, insufficient autophagy!
I have learned so much in this podcast.
47:00 thanks you so much for this question Dr. Berry. I was not raised religious it as I age, I’ve become a believer in God and Christ. This is a great conversation and I love that you had this discussion.
Please consider a nutrition school for our likes. I want to master the art of proper human diet. Thank you.
Don’t you feel your IQ rising every time you watch one of these doctors?
My mind & memory is improving still after years of a Carnivore diet with sweet/carbo binges. Now on a strict Carnivore & in three weeks I notice improvements! 😊
From all I've listen to; grass fed beef, water, salt. All different and/or additional food is individual to you and your body's tolerance for.
Wow! I’m so glad listened to this! The conversation about the THEORY of human evolution shocked me (in a good way 🙂), and congratulations on forming the new ADS, which I will follow on X. Thank you, gentleman, for your work!
Thanks for all you are doing. God bless you both!!
The most fascinating and educational talk I have heard in a long time! Thank you!
Interesting discussion in particular about the fact that fructose will not give any indication of A1c!!! However, the discussion about sugar replacement was a bit one-sided since you didn't mention the fact that substitute sugars/sweet taste can continue to drive the addiction to sugar/carbs which is something that I lived myself for many many years. Going carnivore and completely cutting out substitutes (and dairy) has been the only way my cravings have subsided. Not disappeared completely because the environment - cues and triggers me still from time to time. Hard to escape all the sugar/carb outlets even if I don't enter!!!
It’s also important to add that lots of sweeteners can disrupt the gut microbiome as well.
I disagree- they kind of referred to it by saying IF & “for those using”. I think they’re being realistic about sweetener usage, because as they related, they now know SMELLING the sugar or sweetener items INDUCE a BRAIN response. The Drs understand it is an addiction, the brain expects & wants the glucose because it has been exposed, trained to accept it, due to the effects on the brain.
wow - im so great full to have opportunity to listen and learn from you two .... THANK YOU
Woo hoo! My favorite guy!
Thx guys for filming this and sharing it with us.
I’ve tried to get my doctors to check my insulin level for 2 years. No dice, they wouldn’t do it. Thank God it is no longer a problem.
@@texfarm6798 Whaaat? They wouldn't? "Hey listen here doc YOU work for ME you got that? When I ask for an insulin test I WANT an insulin test, whether you approve or not! If you DON'T write me down for an insulin test then you're fricken FIRED! GOT IT!"
In most states you can order your own labs. I got my fasting insulin for about $25 from Quest.
This is a test you can self order if your living in the states.
If the doctors still refuse on request it is a problem!! I've heard so from others as well. I get my own
@@nevillegoddard4966 Not in the UK. With the appalling NHS. You are chained to a catchment area, unless you can afford to go private.
My doctor even refuses to give me a glucose monitoring machine even though N.I.C.E. says we are to have them and ample sticks & lancets.
Such good stuff. 🙏 Dr Berry and Dr Bikman
Go Dr Bikman!
The dynamic duo! Thank you.
Thank you so much for talking about our strong belief in Christ and yet accept realty of evolution. Praise God for your courage.
So, believe PART of God's Word , but THROW OUT or CHANGE the parts you decide not to agree with because after all you are SO much smarter and well informed than GOD ALMIGHTY.🤔 Doesn't satan aka THE ETERNAL LOSER twist the Word & contradict God at every opportunity?🤔 Yes he does.
There is a difference between adaptation & evolution. God created everything PERFECTLY and included built in abilities to adapt BECAUSE HE KNEW the fall by rebellion(not believing Him & CHOOSING to disobey DESPITE HIS WARNINGS) was going to happen, so HE built in the ability for His creation to survive until the Day of Redemption when HE will bring all creation back into His perfection.❤👍
@lcvb1624 It always makes me sad when people, really smart people, talk about evolution. Before I was saved I believed in evolution too, it does seem plausible to the unregenerated mind, but after I got saved and read the Bible with new eyes and prayed for wisdom I saw clearly that evolution just doesn't make sense.
First time I've heard of American Diabetes Society. This is real good news! It would be great if Dr Richard Bernstein could be part of this. His book and all he teaches is similar to yours and is what has kept my Type 1 Diabetic son's A1C at a steady 5.6 and lower rate at minimal insulin doses.
I try carnivore. It seems to work 100% of the time. Go figure.
Give it a good few years everyone will regret consuming a food type that's not meant for humans. Professional herbalists do not use meat to heal the body they use herbs which heals everything wrong. It's not meat that has healed you it's the stopping of consuming bad foods which gives your body type mass inflammation because you replaced it with meat. People don't know how to listen to their bodies.
Too much protein destroys kidneys and reduce lifespan.
I speak truth they remove, go figure.
We should look at what the elite consume whom are at the top.
Supposedly, Bill Clinton was a vegetarian.
Love it when the 2 best brains In the keto space get together!!
Thanks
Dr Berry is a great interviewer !
As for the evolution argument, the Bible clearly states that we were made in Gods image. Adam also didn't start as a baby but a full grown man.
Great discussion.
I absolutely loved the discussion about evolution and religion by two amazing brilliant scientists who are also devoted to their faith. We need to hear more of that.
