You're on to something. Once I went on Keto my Plantar Fasciitis went away completely. I was a vegan. Sound familiar?
Unfortunately, Yes. And I'm happy that more and more people are learning the power of a Proper Human Diet!
Yes. Me too I fasted omad and did keto. I had to Google what I had done and found keto did it
I heard if you chop your foot off it goes away too
I had plantar fasciitis when I played field hockey in high school, took forever to heal and I was a long term vegetarian lol
Here is another point to supplement this line of thinking.. I wondered why suddenly a couple years ago I started having extremely tight painful muscles. I had a history of some previous car accidents that gave me certain muscular pains and I treated weekly with chiropractic.. but chiropractic wasnt helping the tight muscles..
Fast forward to last year when my base fasting glucose level was creeping up 20 points.. Then I went modified keto to address the sugar and my next fasting glucose was back to normal.. there were other benefits also, not important here..
I dont have plantar- just general tight muscles.. so more keto!!
I’m a nurse, I went into a patient’s room this morning to give her morning medicines to her, and caught her watching one of your diabetic youtube video on her phone! I was soooo proud!!!!! I told her, listen to this guy, he’s healing people!!! 💫⭐️👌🏻👍🏻👏🏻🙏🏻⭐️
Awesome I look after old people and send here as well.
Dude, you should be nominated for United States Surgeon General!
OMG OMG I suffered so long with this terrible problem and didn't know what was causing it. I watch every video online and couldn't get rid of it. I couldn't get rid of this terrible pain and the sad thing is many many doctors don't know what causes this monster of pain. I started a carnivore diet and the pain went away from the bottom of my feet, my knees and my headaches. Thank you Dr. Berry for finding your channel in 2021 YOU saved my life and no other doctor could help me. THANKS
I was born with two club feet and had my ankles corrected and fused at birth. I'm 34 now, and I was experiencing severe arthritis in said ankles. I considered seeing a doctor about ankle replacement or re-fusing my ankles. I even considered amputation and prosthetic feet because the pain had become so unbearable. In November 2021 I went carnivore, and my inflammation, pain and arthritis are virtually nonexistent. I enjoy running again for the first time in YEARS. I don't foresee myself ever coming off an animal-based diet. I watched nearly every video of yours, Dr. Berry and thank you for the education and knowledge that has given me so much freedom. Thank you!!!!!
awesome! so happy for you!
That’s awesome Kevin! I’m sure that’ll give so many people hope of healing.
That is amazing. Good for you.
Kevin!! ❤️
That is beautiful Kevin, thank you for sharing enjoy all the activity you are now able to do. Keep on keeping on.
My feet always hurt when I woke up before keto. I feel 10 years younger after 3 years on a lazy keto diet. No counting, no calculating. I've lost 70 pounds. Aches and pains that I thought were part of growing older have disappeared from my life!
Fantastic to read of your success
Hello there
I have had PF for YEARS. Put a bottle of Vodka (any liquor) in the freezer, roll your foot on that. Stretching 3 full minutes when I get out of bed in the morning. I put my elbows on the mattress, stretch archilles tendon. Stand up and roll your foot on a hard ball. Tennis ball, golf ball, balls made for foot issues. Just started rolling the calf muscle as well with a short stick with rollers on it. It works. Rolling the ball on my foot cured my left foot in a few days. Right foot is a bit more trouble. I am also eating lazy keto for several years and have lost 15 pounds.
What does lazy keto mean? Thanks
@@NizJazzBTC to me, lazy keto is eating the foods I know are ketogenic, but not stressing about counting every carb.
Suffer on and off from PF when I went back to work. Started keto-carnivor 8 months ago I have lost 65 lbs and I no longer have PF. I have also stopped needing my depression medication. I will be 39 tomorrow and I feel better now than I did when I was 20. Thank you Dr Berry!!!!!
Happy early birthday! Congrats on your weight loss and health gain! You gave yourself the best present!
Belated birthday wishes ..
@Tahoe mist sounds like it's time to start creating your own content, explaining your expert viewpoints. That would be much more profitable for you than trolling other expert's content.
@@momule1969 the keto def can mess with thyroid. Look it up before u get too cocky. Many don't know this about keto

I changed to mostly carnivore a year and a half ago, lost 60 lbs and not only my very painful plantar fasciitis went away, but over 20 other symptoms of illness as well.
That happened because you stopped eating bad carbohydrates and not because of meat.
10+ years of plantar fasciitis completely gone within 2 months of carnivore / keto diet. Thank you Dr. Berry. Saving lives every day. You're a Legend !!!
Lol that was fast!
Your theory is correct… once I started counting TOTAL carbs and increased my consumption of meat, my plantar fasciitis disappeared. I used to get out of bed and have to wait a few minutes while standing before I could walk. And even so, I would limp (a lot) the whole way to the bathroom. I would have to take breaks throughout the day to sit down because of the pain. I would have trouble wearing certain types of shoes (boots were the worst) because of the extreme discomfort. Now I don’t even have to think about it!
This is what has happened to me for several years 😭 may I ask what do you eat typically and how low do you keep your total carbs?
@@chelseaoates610 I eat mostly animal based (lots of meat, eggs, fish, etc). I’ll have a side salad maybe 2 times per week. I’m usually under 15 total carbs.
@Tahoe mist quite the opposite 👍
I had Plantar Fasciitis for 3 years in both feet and spent thousands of dollars on treatments, shoes, and physical therapy. I went on a keto diet in 2017 to lose a few pounds and the pain gradually disappeared. It took about 8 months and a 25-30 pound weight loss and finally went completely away. I do believe that it was the diet.
Hello there
Can I ask what weight were you before you lost the weight ?
Bob and Brad, the two most famous physical therapists on the Internet!!!!
250 lb. Started carnivore on Tuesday, 58 yr woman. Chronic pf with heel spur. Wow I sure hope this helps.
Did it help?
Did it help!!???
Steping on poky massage mat took away my heel pain in one day. Also i m on keto and int. fasting 18/6 sometimes 20/4
As a hairdresser it was normal to be in my feet standing mostly in one spot for anywhere from 10-16 hours a day. Being 130lbs overweight didn't help. I knew nothing of keto or carnivore back then. I got plantar fasciitis in both feet and limping and using a cane incorrectly caused me to also develop a strain in my hip flexor. I thought I was going to die it hurt so bad. The shop where I worked closed down which turned out to be a blessing. With time on my hands I finally started taking time for myself and my health. I quit the gym, started keto, and learned about the PHD. Today I'm down 81lbs, 24 years late I'm finally at my pre pregnancy weight. I'm never hungry or hangry. I'm so grateful for all I've learned from Dr Berry and Neishalovesit
Stacy, how is it now?
Yes, once you lose weight it normally stays healed but right now i know 2 people normal weight that have it, sent them Dr Berrys video plus my 2 cents on shoes. I don't always agree with him but i love that he keeps his stuff free of politics. Gotta respect him for that plus he does have a ton of good advice. There are a few other doctors i love besides him. Also Kelly Hogan and Amy Berger, just bought her Alzheimers book. Tons of info in it.
I'm a hairdresser too. Cant step on my heel its too sore. Am on carnivore for 6 weeks now. Hope it will heal soon
@@Merbr221 I’m hopeful too. Been keto 9 weeks and no improvement with PF yet but I’m not giving up.
Yikes. I'm only 13 days carnivore and waiting for my miracle. God bless us all.
I started keto to lose weight which I did but was happily surprised when my plantar fasciitis also disappeared and hasn’t come back!!! Keto is my way of eating now
I have had this over past 10 years, have had injections, acupuncture, pills but my husband had same thing and he has to stand 12 hrs a day as a mechanic. He ordered orthofeet shoes for like 110 and wore them. Not only did it heal it but we haven't had it since and mine was worse then his. Its a miracle of god is all i know. We won't wear any other shoes now.
Hello there
Although I completely agree with Dr Berry I also wear orthofeet ( whenever I have a flare up) I’m a 64 year old nurse on my feet all day and these shoes are amazing
He is right! I started keto and my foot got better. I didn't put it together at the time until I stopped doing keto and the pain came back.
I want to add something that you didn't mention that helped me and you probably didn't mention it because it seems so intuitive. I was a 15 year plantar fasciitis sufferer with no break in between. I did have a job where I was on my feet for upwards of 12-14 hours a day so I always attributed the condition to that. Once I left that job my pain remained for another 9 years until this happened. I bought the correct size of shoe. My whole adult life I thought I was a size 14 shoe when in fact I was a size 13EEE. So when I was still growing and my shoes got tight I naturally went up a size when I just needed a wider shoe. When I started wearing the proper size my pain went away within a week and hasn't returned. Sorry for the long story but I if it helps someone then it's worth the read.
Yes, I'm pretty sure that my PF was caused by some slightly too big shoes.
I’ve tried everything. Doing PT now. Carni 3 years.
@@denaconnolly343 My sister got it years before I did and after months of therapy, custom orthodics and different shoes she opted for surgery.
@@poolfiend007 did the surgery go well and heal the issue?
@@larrytate1657 To an extent. She still needed the custom orthodics . Her pain was much less severe though.
Since I went on keto and lost weight, my PF went away completely. So this video is true for me.
I used to have a flare-up when I ate oranges or drank orange juice. People thought I was crazy. It turns out it had more to do with my SAD diet. Keto and Carnivore eliminated Plantar Fasciitis and many other uncomfortable things!
I had really bad pf and I could barely walk. I had just started eating keto, but then I switched to carnivore. About four months later I noticed my pain diminishing. I am now pain free and have been for about four months. I am still eating carnivore and I will continue to do so.
This is something I used to suffer with terribly. I went keto 3 years ago and have not suffered with it since. I have told people that I thought keto cured my plantar fasciitis, but they think I'm crazy. So glad you did this video, doc. BTW, Bob and Brad are awesome, too!
My husband thought I was crazy too..that it was probably in my head. Nope! It’s gone!
I hope it works for me too.
Interesting. I don’t do full keto but mostly eat a low carb diet and mine flares up and down. I can go a month feeling like it’s completely gone then suddenly it’ll flare back up and I’m back limping.
@@pocahontas4583 me too!
Thanks Doc I have family members who did and do suffer from that! My wife who has passed away, could not get rid of hers and had it for over 25 years she was a CNA for 35 years and on her feet all day, now my daughter suffers from it, I try to tell them how great the keto Keto/vore diet is but it is like talking to a wall, I am the parent and I am 60 so that makes me nuts or from the dark ages, but I know for a fact Keto changed my life for the better in so many ways! 😍✝️🙏💕🦌🇺🇸🏡🦅🤩thanks so much Doc!!!💕
I had PF for over 3 years and found no relief until I found out about trigger point therapy. I had several trigger points in my calves that were causing my pain. Also, make sure your shoes are wide enough for your toes to splay out! It makes a huge difference!!!!!!!!!!!!
that is the answer... I got rid of aLL MY PLANTAR PROBLEMS DOIN TRIGGER POINT THERAPY AND the right shoes!!
Most of the points are in THE CALVES YOU MUST MASSAGE THEM OUT!
With just the keto diet i solve my plantar fasciitis didn’t have to change shoes I
Diet is everything, isn’t it!
I cured by plantar fascitis by adopting a fish only diet, along with removing grains and processed sugar. I eat lots of fruits and veggies and consume oysters, sardines, and salmon. I avoid the high mercury fish. You don't know how happy I am that I can avoid eating beef, pork, or chicken, or eggs and still solve all of my health issues. I've been PF free for six years now. Oh, I also intermittent fast (four hour eating window.)
I've been doing intermittent fasting and keto for a year. I've lost 80 lbs and my feet feel great. No more chronic plantar fasciitis!
100 percent true! I have suffered from plantar fasciitis (and most recently heel spurs) for at least twenty years, not continuously but at different times in my life. I’ve been to doctors, had various treatments, had expensive custom orthotics made, you name it. Going low carb - especially eliminating wheat and sugar - makes the PF go away and also eliminates other inflammation-related aches and pains. I struggle to stay sugar and grain free but it is SO worth it, especially as I get older. Being active, mobile and on no prescription drugs is how I want to go into my older years.
How long did it take for you noticing that the pain of PF decreased? And is that all by stopping with wheat and sugars?
@@adrievanduijn8334 I really don’t know how long. I’ve been mostly pain free for a while now, but the PF has come and gone for 20 years. Diet truly does help keep inflammation down, though. I think if you eliminate all sugars and grains, and nightshades as well, you will notice improvement fairly soon, but it depends on the level of inflammation I suppose. Each person is different. It may take a while or you may notice improvement immediately. And yes, sugar in particular is the main culprit. But also wheat/grains, they just take a little longer to make their effect known. Good luck! I recommend this way of eating.
I was lucky enough to walk out of mine, which seems to be unusual.
I went on the keto lifestyle 4 months ago.
One day I realized I had no pain walking barefoot... Then I watch this video... So true.
From my experience, on top of eating correctly to minimise inflammation:
1. Keep your feet supple and mobile. Roll the sole of your feet over a golf ball (a tennis ball is too big and soft). After time you should be able to put most of your body weight onto the ball and your foot will mould around it.
2. Keep your feet strong. Use them! Do feet exercises whenever you are sat watching TV or on the computer and walk barefoot as much as possible.
3. Wear shoes that strengthen, not weaken, your feet. All orthopaedic shoes/insoles weaken our feet and cushioned heels encourage us to walk incorrectly, we are not designed to heel strike when we walk. Pick zero drop shoes and work towards wearing barefoot shoes all the time.
4. Grounding. Walk barefoot on the earth, this is also proven to reduce inflammation, not just in your feet.
Barefooting healed my feet.
I was on keto for a few weeks when I suddenly noticed I wasn’t limping anymore. I wore shoe inserts for decades. No longer needed! I had no idea keto would cure my foot pain, but it did!
Hello there
I developed PF a couple of years ago and it took 3 months to heal. 1 week ago I got PF again, from running stairs two at a time and sprinting, I had overdone it! This time around, after a week all pain had completely gone, it had been so painful I couldn't walk on it. I have been wearing my running shoes all day for support and icing my foot at night. I cannot believe how fast my foot has healed and I know it's because of my diet. I have been strict carnivore now for 3 months. Thanks Dr. Berry for giving me a new life with my health.
I was expecting you to advice us to wear a pair of high cushioning slippers at home. This one simple change brought immediate & long lasting relief to my aching feet.
Yes-been keto since summer of 2020. Had horrible plantar fasciitis, and it went away within the first few weeks of adopting this new way of eating. Thanks Dr. Berry!
Awesome! Oxalate dumping will cause plantar fasciitis.
I went on carnivore for my heart and it saved my life but my Plantar fasciitis disappeared as well. So did my migraines, my sleep apnea, my blood sugar highs and lows, my arthritis. It’s been the best thing I ever did for myself! Now I need to get past my covid and CPTSD issues that popped up and get back on this! I am having cravings again and get so easily messed up again-I feel so weak and my skin is looking worse. I need a vacation and some mental destressing...Wish me luck!
Garlic, ginger, apple vinegar, fresh air, good water , comedies must help
I suffered from PF diagnosed by a podiatrist for a few years. I required expensive orthotics, night splints, stretching, ice, etc. I did not find relief until I changed my diet. I was already relatively low carb but was eating a lot of spinach and almonds. I am convinced that oxalates played a large role in my case. When I cut that out and went more carnivore, it vanished and has not recurred. Another Lie My Doctor Told Me! :-). Thank you so much for setting me straight!
More people need to talk about oxalates.
I had it a couple of years ago, and it cleared up when I started a regimen of heavy weighted squats with a barbell (200 lbs). I assumed it was because the squats addressed a muscle weakness and likely forced it to stretch helping flexibility but it could also be that exercise, especially resistance training significantly helps with inflammation. But that is what worked for me, and its never come back.
I got acupuncture for this. It is caused by tight calf muscles. Trigger points are tight areas of the muscle. Acupuncture relaxes the muscles. It worked for me. You can try acupressure. Just press very firmly on your calf tender spots. Hold for 5 minutes and treat all tender spots.
I found your videos by accident. I needed to lose weight to relieve the pressure on my foot because of PF. Getting rid of carbohydrates and eating mostly keto, I dropped 40 pounds in 3 months. My plantar fasciitis disappeared. Now I know why.
I’ve had Plantar Fascitis in the past. After gaining some 2 year Virus weight 😡 and snacking on things at work, I developed Achilles Bursitis which feels very similar- but in a different spot. After getting back on track (6-20 carbs per day) and down #10, I can already tell a big difference. Hopefully I can get back to my exercise class soon!! Thanks for this video!
Morning Berry Family 💚
I began keto when I was diagnosed with T2D. My husband joined me to be supportive. Within 4 months his terrible plantar fasciitis AND his severe GURD was totally gone, as was my mild arthritis. We were shocked, and thrilled of course.
It's like you read my mind. I've been dealing with PF for months now. Finally decided to figure out how to get additional weight off. This research lead to the carnivore diet and to your channel. I've already started carnivore, and now hopeful that the PF will go away finally.
Side note, I'm a recent sub and very appreciative of the information you've provided.
If you truly go full carnivore, lion diet, it will fix the problem. It took me about 6 weeks before I noticed that the pain was gone. Such a relief!
@@mikenotta7079 How did you sleep? My issue is that I can't sleep on keto/carnivore or any other low carb way of eating. I did it for 9 months and it didn't resolve no matter how I tweaked. I never tried the lion diet though. Did you add extra fats?
Dr Ken is a Godsend. I love how he creatively connects the health dots for us.
Hello friends!! I had super aching feet for years! I tried inserts and ice baths to try to help reduce the pain. I finally tried keto way of eating and now enjoy both no foot pain and weight loss of 77 pounds! A whole new and better world!
I have chronic PF in both feet, 11 years! I’m on day 4 of Keto so I’m excited to hear this news!!!! TY Dr. Berry…you are a blessing!
Just avoid the high oxalate foods, like spinach, chard, beets, cacao, almonds and so on!! Bcs oxalates can also cause (or worsen) plantar fasciitis. Check out Sally K Norton for more information on this topic! Many people have healed their pf on a low oxalate way of eating.🌸
Does this cause pain in the entire foot? Both of my feet, kill me, and are especially painful as soon as I get up in the morning. I thought that it was arthritis. Has been consistent for about a month now
@@cammieklund yea, im sticking to mostly meat and a tiny bit of veg....not eatting much at all.
@@candaceion9622 Oxalates can cause pain everywhere in the body.
@@candaceion9622 Mine is the entire foot (both), lots of inflamation and pain! Some days are better than others depending on my activity and I also CAN NOT walk around without shoes...that flares it up super fast. Ive been managing it all these years because nothing has helped. The steroid shots were a waste for me and extremely painful. Im excited to hear about Keto healing me so this will definately keep me focused.
PF for 1 year now. Tried all of the things. I do my stretches. Started KETO 4 days ago and cam already feel a difference the foot ache is not as sharp. My arthritis not as bad. I read this diet helps with inflammation. Cant wait to see how I feel down the road. My hubby started with me who is diabetic on orals and insulin. He hasnt taken any insulin for 3 days. Blood sugars are steady. His doc wanted to put him on an insulin pump. We talked about doing keto or carnivore. Decided on keto. Thank you for this info on PF and KETO 101. God bless you!
Been keto and now carnivore for 5 years but still had PF. I watched Bob and Brad's videos on what to do. No drugs! Worked great. A good pair of shoes will help too.
I suffered from plantar fasciitis for months and months, trying everything to heal it. Got covid and was in the hospital August 12-15, discovered I was diabetic, started keto August 31. Reduced my a1c from 12.5 to 6.3 and my morning fasting numbers of 500 down to 82 (this morning) in just 4.5 months. I started noticing my foot wasn't hurting as much and I thought inflammation was leaving my body. I knew then it was all connected. After watching your video just now, you confirmed it. Amazing what healthy foods does to your body....same with what unhealthy foods can do to that same body.
Just shared this with one of my good friends who has terrible PF. Thx for the good info, as always!!
You knocked another one out of the park Dr. Berry. Good video, thank you for all you do!
Your presentations are always very precise and to the point!! Love watching you. Blessings.
The best comprehensive discussion I have ever heard ..thank you and God bless you doc.
The exercise/stretch that Dr. Eric Berg shows worked better for my mother than what Bob & Brad showed. She just had a PF flare in the past few days. I shared this video with her as well, so she'll know more she can do (of course she has to choose to). Here is her reply to me by email after I shared Dr. Berg's video on PF -
OMG! Even doing 5 of the reverse exercise has relieved some pain! Going to do the rest and 10 every day. And I'm sharing this now!
Doctors left me untreated for 13 years to develop the chronic situation and only last month 1 doctor examined me seriously
I went to 10+ doctors and no one mentioned it
I was with two people Sunday who suffer from this. I just shared this video. Thank you Dr Berry💕.
Wow, i was diagnosed with diabetes type1 in september last year.
Went on keto diet the same day, never thought this would save my feet but my plantar fasit went away shortly after❤️
Brilliant presentation! Thank you Dr. Berry!
I had this issue the VA made me some custom orthotics and it really helped. Being a mail carrier on my feet off and on all day it was inevitable. Thanks Dr. Berry for talking about it. Keto helps everything my whole body is better.
Extremely thankful for telling us about diet.
Great information 👍.
Wow at all the people with this condition, absolutely has to be with our diets we have been on, I have been on the keto diets for a month and my PF is getting better.
Oh, I am on a keto diet and I highly recommend it. Thanks for all of your videos, Dr Berry. I wish you the very best.
Just seen this video and realized that my PF hasn't flared up or bothered me in a few weeks! Just so happens I started Carnivore this January as 30 day test run that I don't want to stop... just another benefit to add to the list! Thanks Doc!
I have shared this video a multitude of times with people on a Facebook plantar fasciitis group, and will continue to do so! Thanks 😊
I work as a mailman and been plagued by this over the years, literally bed ridden at points
Never been first to see a video of Dr. Berry. Before this.
Thank you Thank You I thought I was stuck with this forever.
Bob and Brad does help short term.
I am impressed by the guidance given in this video. Very useful information Thank you!
You are so right doctor Berry (like always). In the fourth quarter of 2021 I went off the path of right eating and had too many carbs. My heel started hurting. Then in January I joined a carnivore challenge, and now my problem is almost gone. Thanks for reminding me how bad carbs are.
Thanks for the great info. It all makes so much sense. Treat the source and not the symptoms.
I hoped to hear about bone spurs? It took a surgical procedure for me. 2 weeks after surgery I had no more problems. But, I am active and scar tissue did not become an issue and the minor numbness I experienced was a thankful godsend. 20 years of thankful pain free walking at 75
I just love you, Dr. Berry. You recognize the dietary(deficient US diet). I am convinced inflammation is the cause of most problems I have, pinpointed with changes I make. Thank you.
You make more sense than anyone else. I’m giving this a try I.l let you know. My plantars is a 10 pain so I’ll try anything. Thank you
Thank you for this video! I have had reoccurring bouts of plantar fasciitis for the past 2 years. I’ve had several steroid injections which are so painful. I have done keto diet before and never thought it was helping. But looking at this video, I will do keto again to get rid of this current pain I’m experiencing. So thankful for this video
Day by day you are becoming greater and greater personality
Glad to see this video. I am Keto/carni. I have noticed that times when I went to family functions where my normal diet is no available i have PF problems. I also noticed periformas and neck mobility issues. In both periformas and neck I would find i lost a % of my normal motion. After a few days pain abated. I still do stretches. They help but living keto is best solution..thanks doc.
Thank you, Dr Berry, for sharing this information.
I fixed PF, knee issues and hip pain by gradually changing the way I walk and run. Indeed, forefoot or midfoot walking and running barefoot changes how the load impacts the heels, knees, and hips are transferred to the muscles and ligaments that are meant to be able to handle these loads. Of course, these muscles are weak when a person has been wearing cushioned and ridged shoes that makes heel striking less painful but provides the condition for these intrinsic muscles to be weakened. I also very much agree that stopping the inflammation from a poor diet is critical. Going Keto was the first positive step for my PF but my knees were still pretty bad. Going barefoot is the other paradigm shift I experienced but it does take time to adapt to it. Grounding on grass and beach sand is great for everyone. Be careful if you have diabetic feet on rough or hard surfaces; I would transition using minimalist shoes.
Thank you..this is probably the kick in the butt I needed. Mine has been so terrible. I just had surgery on one foot and am recovering is taking forever.
I suffered from this for a couple of years (I was 50), went to see many doctors and physiotherapists, alot of exams, nothing really worked. Then I found Dr Berry and Keto, lost 20 kg, brought down my A1C, cured my diabetes, and noticed one day that the pain had disappeared. I'm now mainly carnivore, but remain a carb addict in remission.
Your programs helped me a lot, no more pain. Thank you Dr. Berry
Thank you! Important information.
You amaze me with your knowledge. Thank you so much for sharing!
I'm dealing with my 2nd bout of pf. The first was late 2017 when I was doing keto. I had put a lot of effort into my keto diet. This 2nd bout started after being meat-based for 3yrs and finally going zero-carb carnivore in March of this year, 2023, but there was a trigger that I could point to this 2nd time; I sprinted full speed 4x from the back of a house to my work van to get my tools out of a sudden rain storm. Another factor is that in both cases, I had been working seven days a week screening pool enclosures after a hurricane. I wasn't getting enough rest. Also, that foot has a different arch than the other and I have always needed arch support for that foot only. So, my diet was good in both cases.
Absolutely! I had this as a new symptom about a year before going keto. Once I ate this way it totally cleared about 2 months in. -Linda
I had plantarfaciates for literally 12 yrs had every treatment possible except surgery shots ,meds contraptions ect I use to have to crawl on my hands and knees to the bathroom in the middle of the night due to the severe pain . I went on a keto diet 2 yrs ago my plantarfaciates was gon in approx 3 months never to return I am mostly carnivore now with a little veg just for taste. Oh ya and I lost 45lbs I was 240lbs now 195 55yrs old feel l I ke 30 again. Thank you Doc you are the best! Keep preaching the truth!
I had chronic PF after my pregnancies (and consequent diet change- high carb) for several years and the ONLY thing that brought healing was changing my diet to a ketovore diet. I'm thankful for the doctors that teach this info online like Dr. Berry and Dr. Jason Fung. I don't want to know where I'd be if I hadn't learned about the proper human diet.
Great video.. I've had PF for many years and what has helped me the most, by far, is that I now wear only really good quality shoes with strong arch support (The Walking Co.). The exercises that stretch the calf muscles are VERY helpful and keeping the inflammation down is necessary for flair-ups to heal. Glad to hear low carb diet helps!
Thank you Dr. ❤️ when I do two hours a day on a treadmill my foot hurts so much!! It like you read my mind! Love you!
Thank You for this video Dr.Berry! I shared your Carnivore video with a mom I just met & she had NEVER heard of Carnivore diet and she is healing a broken neck…. Hopefully she signs up to become a Patreon and find out what freedom from Food Prison is! Love&light from California 💗💗
You may find it interesting that when I decide to have a cheat meal for special occasions or try something for the first time my body doesn't agree with, the first place I react is pain in my feet & sometimes legs (normally within 30-60mins of eating the meal)
Eating ketovore has literally changed my life. (3years) It's been great watching your channel grow. Thank you Dr. Berry!
Great topic and video. My Plantar Fasciitis was so bad I wouldn't walk for days and I was having flare ups every couple of months. I went on Keto and and the flare-ups have dwindled down and are not so severe. I expect them to disappear completely once my body has healed more from my years of carb addiction.
- Gently stretching and massage of the feet and vigorously massaging the calf muscles,
- night splint (to prevent the feet from pointing down and healing improperly for hours during sleep,)
- and gently increasing squats to get the blood going all around the legs and the feet.
It's been about 10 weeks and it is 97% better. Now I will add these recommendations.
Hi Dr Berry. CAN PLEASE DO A VIDEO ABOUT BUNIONS - PRETTY PLEASE
I had this in both feet many years ago. Tried everything the doctor recommended. The only thing that seemed to help was rolling my foot on a cold tin can, but that gave less than an hour relief. Things wère pretty miserable for a couple of weeks. I don't remember how, but eventually I got the idea from some YT video about using yoga sun salutations. Thr presenter said sun salutations stretched the "posterior chain" and would eventually stretch it out. Well, I dunno if it was the salutations, time, or both combined, but within 3~4 days of doing this daily for maybe 5 repetitions once or twice a day, I could feel the pain start to subside. Within 2 weeks I was pain free and it's never come back. During this time I was still using the cold tin can as needed, After maybe 1 week of doing these sun salutations, I didn't need the tin can anymore. Now, I don't practice yoga. Sun salutations are the only yoga thing I know. I am open to the possibility that it may have been coincidence and time healed me, or maybe some combination of the two, but I would suggest daily sun salutations ~ 5 repetitions at least twice a day ~ as a possible method to help overcome pf. As far as I know, it worked for me.
Yoga has healed my chronic shoulder tendonitis and chronic PF.
Thanks Doc, PF has been troubling me lately, can now sort it out and enjoy my beach walks again .. Cheers!
I've been alternating between keto and carnivore for 4 months and went from insuline resistant to insuline sensitive BUT my plantar fasciitis persists. Hopefully , the healing will kick in soon.
First time commenting 🙂. This video is so true. Had Plantar F for many years and when I switched to Keto is disappeared and rather quickly. I now have no pain there at all 👍 Sugar is sooooooo bad in sooooo many ways to our bodies.
Great info Doc!
