I just realized that my dandruff is gone. Not sure when exactly it disappeared but i've been low carb for a year now. I used to be able to stick my fingernail in my scalp and scratch huge chunks of dead skin. I'ts so disgusting to think about now but back then it was just one of many things i had accepted as normal.
So with that said does that mean that omega 9 and 6 faty acids increase cell production and thus shorten the duration of time thoughout someone's life and increase the speed in which the hayflick limit of a cell is reached and lead to faster rate to cancer?
@@normakarina5123 have you listened to the video? The Dr states in the video that a shampoo might relieve your symptoms temporarily, but won't get rid of the issue. I know because I have suffered from seborrheic dermatitis for many years and have tried almost everything out there. For starters, I would recommend a good high quality non toxic shampoo such as Pure Haven's Detox Charcoal shampoo or Moogoo's Milk Shampoo. Both have helped me. However after listening to his video, I am going low carb and implementing his suggestions. Hoping to soon be rid of this frustrating issue soon. Best of luck! :)
The cure to sebo is overall immune health, not skin alone. So many have cured by this method that no one knows. Also dont trust every doctor. Cure is : 1, positive no matter what, your body releases positive energy and frequency, viberations that helps heal and maintain your horomones. Stress also breaks down your body, and makes horomones imbalance. I have done everything below but never cured. Bc i didnt do number 1, which is the most important. 2, eat healthy such like strong fermented yogurt( for the gut) and fruits, meat, dairy(if you can eat) veg etc. No junk food. SEBO IS NOT ABOUT YOUR SKIN BARRIER ONLY. its about your gut and overall immune health. I dont perfer eating a lot of noodles and ramen. Also brain and horomonal health imbalance causes your body to eat up oil on face.(which is why sebo is made) Danderuff, severe acne and harden teeth plaque, tonsil stone, oral health, is all related to overall immune health. Flossing will not cure tartar in fact tartar doesnt come off with floss. Shampoo doesnt help with danderuff. Brain and horomone balance is important, Which is why number 1 is important. 3. Pray to god, and say only positive stuff to others. Theres a saying, where unhealthy body is telling your spirit something. Have Unhealthy oral?, say positive only through your mouth. Do not go to the dentist and take drugs unless its needed badly. But oral, danderuff, sebo needs to be cured by inner health and soul only. If you got harden plaque try taking it off at home with steel if can or take it out at dentist. Its gonna make months depending on how severe your sebo is. But there will be joy in the morning so trust and live a good livestyle. Any questions?
Overproduction of skin cells also includes rough, dry-looking skin that needs regular non-abrasive exfoliating. Consequently, too much dead skin cells is also a factor to clogged pores which results to acne.
He advised to cut all grains from your diet. Then what should I eat? I'm Indian and here every meal contain roti which is made of wheat or corn. How can I cut off all these stuff?
Recommendations start at 11:37! 1. Avoid vegetable oils 2. Avoid sugars, grains, & snacks 3.Expose to 5 min sunlight day at least 4. Take a good quality probiotic

This video is hands down the most ridiculously fantastic advice on this subject. Thank you so so much for not selling out and telling us to buy useless shampoos and potions that just don’t work and for giving everyone advice that will actually work ❤️
My TCM doctor said meat is the culprit due to my ancestors being mostly vegetarians. Can't verify it, as my wife is an uber carnivore and dead animals are delicious.
Or the opposite, depending on the person--and that is key to understanding this. If diet could fix everything, it would. It doesn't. Not even close. The diet advocated here sure didn't change this condition for me. I just eat that way for other health reasons anyway.
You are a great doctor. Our entire medical system is now based on treating just the symptoms with expensive and toxic chemicals rather than treat the root cause naturally. Subscribed
If your Dandruff has improved on Low-Carb/KETO/Carnivore please share your story in the comments to help skeptical new-comers understand because this is important.
Hi Dr Berry . Thanks for sharing such great information . I am avid follower of your videos . Husband and myself have been following keto for about an year now and had great results . My son who is a toddler has been diagnosed with alopecia about an year ago . Appreciate if you could provide some insight and video where you can talk about this and provide your research on this topic.
My Dandruff improved a bit, but it's not gone I'm doing Keto / OMAD (With no Cheating) for 6 months now and my health became way better. But for the Dandruff sadly it's not entirely gone
You seem like a snakesoil guy. I really doubt if you see real medical case. The thing with these UA-cam doctors is that they are not great at practicing, hardly have any patients and in order to make money they try these trends to make quick bucks.
I have had dandruff all my life, been on low carb for a little over a year and my dandruff issue was noticably better (not gone but better than any of the shampoos have ever done) with everything going on I let myself have carbs the past 2 weekends and all of a sudden my dandruff is out of control again, I had no clue why. Your video came along right on time. Thank you!
I have dandruff too. The only way I keep it off for a few days is by rinsing my scalp with white vinegar. Diluted if is too strong for you. Let it rest on your scalp for at least 3 minutes and rinse off/shampoo. It stays off for a few days but always comes back
I've had dandruff all my life. My mom fed us a sugar/carb based diet with tons of soda so I am a sugar addict. After watching your videos and a few others, I cut carbs and went into Keto, cut out al seed oils, now I'm just low carb. Achs and pains went away, I lost over 15 lbs and have a 6pack again at 44 years old, my dandruff went away and my rocecea went almost completely away. I went from having roceacea and skin problems so bad that my cheeks would actually bleed to it barley being noticeable. My blood pressure is now perfect! I feel as good as I did in my late teens or early 20s. The cravings for carbs eventually go away but I sometimes slip when hanging around the wrong people and I am weak. The problems, bloating and bad mental state start coming back very quickly, much faster then they go away from living correctly.
Exactly what I was looking for. I was told it's not about the inside and was prescribed with lots of products I'd have to use everyday. I tried to ask about the diet and vitamin imbalance but it seems like they are all hooked with big pharma industry. Thank you
I have been keto/carnivore this year, and my tinnitus is now quiet, no dandruff, went from mid 150s to low 140s in weight (I'm 5'7") stiffness and joint pain greatly reduced/most days non-existent. Dress size has gone from an 18 down to a 12/14. I am 53, but no longer look my age. Looking younger is probably one of the coolest effects of low carb eating!
This doctor is so spot on.. I've been avoiding industrially produced seed oils for 2 months (for other health reasons and after watching other videos from other doctors about the same subject). My other female related health issue so far has greatly improved. Then last night I cheated on my diet with Burger King and a few low sugar yogurts for dinner. I woke up this morning with returning dandruff and severe itching that I haven't had in a while and was wondering why. I googled and came upon this video.. And its more proof to me that industrially produced seed oils are screwing up my system. I so wish all these fast food places and the fast food industry in general would stop using Canola and other seed oils :(
@Winter Zhukovsky, I am 62 and that the fast food industry was using tallow when I was a child. When I was older there was a huge uproar from activist types to stop animal fats and switch to “heart healthy” fats. It took a while (as I remember) but the fast food chains did switch over. Then the food never tasted as good. These do-gooders also recommended giving up eggs and following the “healthy breakfast” which was cereal, milk, orange juice and toast with a pat of margarine. The government does not know best, grandma does
I used ketoconazole based shamploo and betamethasone as dipropionate lotion for two weeks and today on my second checkup the dermatologist prescribed me a shampoo and a face wash for another two weeks, and told me that the build up will come back sometimes forever... can't tell how thankful I am, Jazakallah !!! May Allah bless you with the best gift
Thank you! I had a high sugar intake for about a year, enjoying to many cookies etcetera. After watching this video I quit all that, basically going on a keto diet. My dandruff was 90% gone in a couple of weeks. Thank you thank you:)
I was watching this video to help my daughter....She is 11 and has suffered with dandruff since she was about 7. We have tried everything for her dandruff. Tea trea oil has been the most helpful thing so far. She has a ton of hair and a very sensitive scalp so its been a battle trying to get rid of it. I used to get dandruff too. I have been on keto since Oct of 2019. I hadn't even stopped to think about the fact that I haven't been dealing with dandruff. That makes sense...I will try switching her over to my keto based diet.
Thanks. Best analysis I've heard on this. Makes sense. I noticed the only time my dandruff stopped was when I was in India on a retreat, on a restricted diet and loads of sunlight and sea...
In my case, the seborrheic dermatitis is directly triggered the very next day after consuming dairy, grain, or if I went to town on sugar. The only dairy I never react to is butter. (even though I’ve been strictly gluten free since 2017)
I had seborrhoeic dermatitis since the 2nd Grade. I’ve tired everything! From prescriptions, OTC and natural remedies. It embarrassed me my who life and the itch drove me crazy constantly. 5 yrs ago it started developing in my ears. I had a hard time with keto and IF until I work myself up to OMAD. It was easier to do keto with one meal. (Also taking probiotics and vitamin D) After 2 weeks I noticed a difference in my scalp. A month and a half later I barely have any dandruff. I’ve been so happy and relieved. I don’t have to use a lice comb for 30 mins after washing my hair no more. Also my hair has been softer and more nourished. Thank you so much for your advice and videos.
Seriously, your health suggestions are common sense. Oddly, many people are missing this information. I am constantly listening and learning everyday from your informational video.
Dr. Berry, I cannot thank you enough! Suffered with Seboreic Dermatitis for more than 10years and now I have the information and knowledge to fix this for Good! Blessings on your work!
That’s great. I just read a book all about mega dosing vitamin D for so many ailments. I’ve tried 10K IU 3 x daily for 3 days and I think I’m seeing improvements!!
100% correlation. Had bad dandruff all growing up and in my 20’s . Was running insanely high intakes of all the carbs, sugars, seed veg oils, etc. Experimented with different diet styles all the high sugar, high carb ones I’ve had dandruff. Mostly on carnivore now added keffer and Greek yogurt all grass fed. Drink athletic greens and also little cold press juice beets, carrots, wheatgrass, lemon. No more dandruff. I loove bread and pastry way to much to not have a little treat. only If binge the carbs will the dandruff return.
Hey, thought I’d come back and leave a comment. Did carnivore diet for 7 days and my dandruff completely cleared after 7 months of shampoo, steroids, pills. Thank you so much for this information.
I just started eating more dairy and now the dandruff has got worse thank you it makes sense now. I’m trying to cut dairy and carbs in my diet! This video helped a lot
I find it very disturbing that I’m getting this information from a general practitioner and not from my dermatologist. I had dandruff and some psoriasis around my nose. My dermatologist looked at me for 3 seconds and wrote a prescription for steroid cream to apply daily. She also never once mentioned the horrifying side effects from steroid cream (which I found out from testimonials on UA-cam). So my conclusion based on my experiences is this: Dermatologist are operating a quick fix business with potential nasty side effects and don’t provide holistic approach to fix the root cause of skin issues.
This drives me crazy. Putting people on chemicals that would continue their problem. They are scammers, but I guess they exist for people who won’t change diets and want quick fixes.
Welcome to every experience I've ever had with every medical practitioner, doctor or specialist. Plain lazy, no pride or honor in their work. Profit over cure. Treating the symptom not the cause is the general rule of thumb. After waiting almost a year to see a specialist ( in Canada) "Here, I'll write you a prescription, you go pick it up and take it for the rest of your life, problem solved" Literally had a specialist tell me those exact words when trying to treat my chronic heart burn. I was in and out of his office in less than 3 minutes. I tore up that piece of paper and never filled the prescription. Happy to say I eliminated my heart burn entirely with diet no thanks to the so called "specialist"
they all do,they dont care about nutrition or other things that can help,i went to 6+ dermatologist and they all give same steroids creams,no advice about naturally way
All of this is true and it really works. I had a nasty case of seborrheic dermatitis since I was 13, on my scalp, face and ears. Of course I was a carb-lover with a cortisol level up the roof. Used countless dermatologist approved treatments but the seb derm was always coming back and all I heard from derms was that this is a *chronic condition that will stay with me for the rest of my life*. But then I tried to loose some weight and to do that I switched to clean low carb/keto to reverse my insulin resistance. I also worked on lowering my cortisol naturally and ate lots of anti-inflammatory foods. I already gave up on treating my seb derm but as I was doing my diet I noticed my skin cleared up, my scalp no longer had bad smell and giant yellow flakes, my hair started growing back. Didn't know it was related to my lifestyle change, but then I read studies on how carbohydrate rich diet aggravates seborrheic dermatitis. I've been low carb since last year and I've never been free from dandruff for such a long time. It's great that someone is finally talking about internal causes of seb derm instead of giving one of those gimmick advice on shampoos.
My dandruff actually got worse after using dandruff shampoo, It might help cover up the systems but definitely doesn't cure the actual cause. Great stuff, Ken!
The zinc stuff makes it worse for me You need to use Selsun Blue+Nizoral. Once the itching stops, the existing dead cells will flake off (giving the illusion that it's getting worse) and when all the dying cells have flaked off, you're left with a nice scalp. Next, use Sulfur8 at night to keep it off. There's no permanent cure but this is the only way its been tolerable for me.
Thank you and your so right .. when I stopped eating bread and slowed way down on my sugar intake my dandruff had disappeared. Now I understand why .. sad to say it returned because i returned to my terrible diet ☹️
Been having SD for 3-4 months. I’m convinced it’s an internal issue. I’ve been getting lots of blood work and checking my internal organs. My blood work showed VERY high levels of triglycerides, my cholesterol is normal tho... I also have a lack of vitamin D. Dr. mentioned high triglycerides are caused from high carbs so hopefully me addressing this problem with keto will help. I will update in a few months as Dr mentioned it takes months to adjust
My daughter had thick dandruff with a large wet area. I gave my daughter vitamin D, one pill in the morning and one at night. Within a couple days her scalp was dried up. And in a week the dried flakes almost completely cleared up. She missed a couple days when we ran out of pills, and it came back full force. “Wash, rinse, repeat” and we saw improvements immediately again.
Understood. Thanks doctor for easy explanation. Now I can pin point what is going wrong with my newly discovered dandruff. I eat outside food which is fried and also my diet is full of carbs and sugary stuff. Very well relatable
Never seen an American doctor giving honest medical advice free. What a good man you are! God bless you. Some American medics sell their formulas for $60 a bottle of one month supply.
I just got diagnosed with glycosylation of connective tissues. I've told my wife for years that I am 'inflamed'. Finally a diagnosis. I also have a terrific case of Seborrhoeic Dermatitis. I have started a new diabetes program that is controlling my sugars much better, but I'm only about month in and still have adjustments to make. The dermatologist only recommended shampoos and creams. What you are saying makes good sense because I'm seeing other effects of the inflammation and immune response, which makes it worse. Thanks for the information. I think after years of ghostly diagnoses like fibromyalgia are coming to an end with this connection to inflammation.
I've been doing Keto for about 6 months now. I'm down 50 pounds and have experienced many of the side benefits you've discussed in other videos, but the dandruff persists.
Carnivore is the ultimate elimination diet. Give it a try and after 60 day introduce one new (keto) food you are used to, and wait for 2 weeks to see what happens, before introducing another food. Like for babies😅😍. I am no doctor but this is how I've noticed the tons of cheese did something not ok for me. Hope this helps, take care 🤗
You have just summed up how to get rid of seborrhoeic dermatitis. You bought together everything I did after a recent flare. I had it once before many years ago but didn't know what it was at the time. I am vegetarian and pride myself on my fresh food diet, using organic olive oil and fresh produce. I cook from scratch and only eat takeaway food a couple of times a year. However, I had been eating a few too many sugary extras with my afternoon cuppa and realise that vege diets can be high carb naturally. I made an assumption that my sugar could be too high because I associated the malassezia with sugar and yeast. I decided to monitor my sugar and carbs. My carbs and sugar were in recommended levels without the extra treats, so I've stopped the treats. I ordered a high quality algae based omega 3 supplement, took probiotics and ate sauerkraut and I'm drinking two pints of water a day. I also use a gentle toner on my face to clear the oil. I do have a slightly over active immune system and will need to look after my body to keep these problems at bay. THIS ADVICE WORKS! Thank you.
I came here to tell people how I cured my dermatitis and you may think it's crazy, yes at first the animal based diet was helping but the real issue was carbs residue left in the mouth and feeding bad bacteria. I cured it by brushing my teeth after each meal. Years later now I can eat whatever I want and have been dermatitis free since 2021.
Hey guys. I used to have Seborrherheic Dermatitis with flaky dandruff. This thing have to cure with your diet and healthy lifestyle. Here's one more tip, I used to blend the Neem Leaves and apply it in my scalp 30 minutes before showering. 2-3 times a week. The scalp will be clear without dandruffs. Neem leaves are naturally antifungal.
"All problems on the outside, are caused on the inside". This is true regarding the world. All of life is an inside job. NOTHING is outside of self. Negativity that manifests in one's experience began inside one's heart, mind, thoughts, beliefs, etc. Become what you wish to live
His suggestions are thoroughly on point. Especially, exposing your skin to the sun daily is extremely beneficial. Also, rinse your head after profusely sweating at gym.
I can confirm his teaching. I suffered from excessive dandruff for years. I spend hundreds of dollar on products it never really worked until head&sholdier blue bottle, it reduced it but there still were some dandruff left in the hair. I started the ketogenic diet last week and I just looked at my hair to my surprise there is not dandruff. It's only been a week how is this possible.
My sebborrhoeic dermatitis only stays away if I eat liver regularly ( I make beef / lamb / liver burgers and have one a day). I believe from Elliot Overton from EONutrition that it could be that I require more B vitamins and this is why the liver is helping.
FINALLY a doctor who knows his stuff! Carbohydrates and dairy increase insulin which increases IGF-1. (Insulin like growth factor 1. ) Which in turn increases sebum production. Excess sebum production causes all of the problems. Once you stop eating carbs and dairy, insulin goes down , which in turn lowers IGF-1 which lowers sebum production. This results in clear skin. Finally a doctor who knows his stuff. Most doctors or dermatologists don’t know anything about the true cure. Because most are trained to just treat symptoms of diseases.
I keep coming back to this video because one is hard of hearing! Everything you’re saying is sooo correct, whenever I eat oats AND oat milk my dandruff has a field day. I stopped buying all the topical stuff because what you said made so much sense and also, why following a specific diet isn’t being promoted. Thanks for saving us 😂❤
Ryback ain't no carnivore, he's a mukbanger shoving all type of shit down his gullet because he probably is depressed after being screwed by Vince McMahon.
I was diagnosed in 2011 with prostatitis. Prescribed Cipro. Symptoms persisted and doc kept me on cipro for 3 months. Ended up with C-diff infection. I was 35 years old. Then the big gun antibiotics. Cleared the c-diff. Then came seb derm and post infection ibs. It’s in the gut for me. I know it without a doubt. Planning to have FT soon as gut has never been the same and Seb derm is bad.
I did a reset diet years ago, cut out unhealthy carbs, processed foods. 2 weeks veggies, protein, no grains. Smoothie with slow carb fruit in morning. Then add in GF grains like brown rice. Totally got rid of my seborrheic dermatitis, itchy flaky ears, lost weight, more energetic, alert/no brain fog.
@@alishaohara7236 From what I gathered olive oil is the healthiest choice among cooking oils on the market (especially xtra virgin oil). Loaded with antioxidants, anti- inflammatory properties (chronic inflammation is regarded to be a leading driver of diseases ie cancer, heart disease, metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer's, arthritis and even obesity). The predominant fatty acids are monounsaturated oleic acid, omega 6, omega 3 (as fish oil). Also helps in lowering hypertension (blood pressure) This doctor really dropped the ball on this one! 🤨
@@demigod1013 you know you answered the question yourself right…. “Omega 6, omega 3” Notice the lack of omega 9. Olive oil is fine. And is in the healthy fats category.
You fail to mention that caffeine triggers a cortisol response, which, in turn, increases blood glucose levels, so double whammy..... I am a diabetic, and suffer from sebhorreic dermatitis. If I stop drinking diet coke, my skin clears up, and my high sugars are better, when I start drinking the diet coke again after a few days, it's back...
Okay…well I already do that and STILL HAVE IT! I also had Covid and my hair fell out and I feel like every since then it’s been worse I’ll try probiotic
I'm 2 months into carnivore, and my flakiness is lessening, but not gone yet. I have noticed another skin-related benefit that astounded me. All my life, I've had what I call horseshoe heels. The skin around my heels would thicken and crack and get craggy, enough so that it could put holes in socks. I was always having to get after them with a pumice stone or creams or salves or those commercial gadgets to keep it manageable. Then about a month into this diet, as I was putting on my shoes one morning, I realized my heels were almost baby-butt soft, and I hadn't done anything to them. It's amazing all the things you hear about that improve on this diet, that you'd never expect had to do with food.
Wow, I also have a similar problem. Thank you very much for sharing that the diet has helped you in this way! I am just learning about keto and carnivore diets, and I never thought a symptom like cracked heals could be diet related. Wishing you all the best !
I used a 1:1 mixture of date vinegar and water, left it in for an hour with a shower cap on, washed with mild shampoo. My dandruff was visibly gone, yet continued to do the same every 2 weeks and my dandruff never returned.
I've been low carb, high protein for over 20 years, only ever used healthy oils to cook with. I have found that Castor Oil stops the quick proliferation of the skin when I put it on externally, it doesn't stop it completely, but it certainly does help to break the never ending cycle of it getting worse, mine is a lot better after using Castor Oil on my scalp. My body appears to be asking for iodine, find myself eating a lot of Greek Coconut Yogurt and I put on ground walnuts for breakfast.
The problem with switching seed oils to animal fats is the increase of saturated fat -> cardiovascular disease. Also the suggestion to eat eggs is weird because pretty much all eggs (at least in Canada) are made to have more omega 6 FA, which is apparently what you don’t want according to your sources. The insulin thing isn’t really a problem if you eat carbs that are low on the GI scale bc the problem is that the insulin is spiking at a fast rate. If that rate is slowed down, then the spike isn’t as big so it should be fine to eat carbs in a way where it won’t enter your bloodstream too quickly (slower rate of eating+lower gi scale of food).
Hi Dr. berry, hubby is type 2 so we have been Keto/low carb for years. Last year he started having psoriasis we think on his scalp. So in January we went full carnivore for a whole month. We stopped everything except meat and salt. No coffee, no eggs, no dairy, no veggies. After a month we felt better but were also experiencing appetite fatigue, so we have been adding in things slowly...olive oil, coconut oil, ghee, garlic, green onions, thyme, for seasoning. Cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower , bok choy for veggies. Just plain salt wasn’t cutting it. We also just added .vit.D,C, zinc and selenium for avoiding Covid we hope. The psoriasis, is a tiny bit better. But just not responding the way we had hoped. I did just start us on probiotics about a week ago. Are we on the right path? He refuses to take meds or use steroids, so I need all the diet help I can get. Just feeling super frustrated that it isn’t responding. Are we just expecting results too quickly?
I've noticed I have less when I use *Miracle II moisturizing soap* (with no conditioner.. I can feel the toxins from any conditioner getting into my scalp). When my hair is dry it is VERY soft and easy to brush. Also *BRUSHING LESS* reduces dandruff as well!! (Less than once a day.. preferably even less.) I DO have long hair down to my waist so... I usually keep it in a bun so or doesn't tangle much.
That's too bad Beth. The food looks so healthy. Hey the zinc is ionic and needs an ionophore to get inside the cells to interrupt sars2's replicating via mRNA. I add quercitin to 15mg Zn for maintenance. There's a higher protocol for COVID-19 if it happens and I'll do that w/ azythromicin.
I'm happy to learn I've been doing the right things and avoiding high carb/seed oil filled diet but my dandruff issues began worsening despite my low processed diet. Kind of at a loss now.
Ive been waiting to watch something positive in the internet for a while now, and this is the best one and most informative yet. Deserves a sub doc Thanks for the free diagnosis
Please make a video for androgenetic alopecia. I cant believe that this is not a reversable condition and that we have to put medicines on our scalp for the rest of our life! How can we have our hair back? Its a condition that a lot of men and women suffer from and still noone can give a permanent solution!
never use veggie oil. My dandruff is really minor, but seborrhoeic eczema in my face is just of the charts. So must be something different. For me the main factor is stress, or worry. I quit my job that give me stress self doubt self blame feeling of failing negative thoughts. This is highly overlooked in my opinion. AND i even just started the carnivore diet which you highly believe in.
Former Tennessean living in Japan here. I went 15 years dandruff free and then it suddenly came back last year. The only seed oil I consume is a tiny amount of grapeseed oil I use to season my cast iron skillets. I don't have elevated insulin or consume high amounts of sugars or carbs, and I get 30+minutes of sunlight every day, so I guess the only issues left for me to investigate are hormonal or immune response?
exactly, however in the video Dr. Berry is attributing the hormonal and inappropriate immune response to elevated insulin caused by the diet which you don't have an issue with. There are also things that aren't adding up for my situation as well. hopefully he can respond
I actually enjoy ketovore diet 😅 I have been eating carbs so yeah that’s why I have dandruff 🤯this is no excuse but we have had a freezing winter in Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺 so it’s getting warmer now and being disciplined will be easier. That’s it for me. Straight back to zero carbs. Thanks Doc ❤
I was prescribed that red-coloured shampoo that begins with a K to battle my recurring scalp issues. I recently threw it away because that shampoo not only dries the heck outta my scalp (worsening the appearance of flakes), I find it also aggravates the eczema/dermatitis conditions on my hands and face. Gonna try getting my hands on a keto and an anti-inflammatory cookbook and see if I can make a positive change to my diet! Thank you Doc!
Thanks for the video doc. But I've been intermittent fasting for 2 years now. I have cut out all the things you mentioned for over 2 years now. I eat a large salad for lunch from Monday to Friday, with healthy ingredients and very little dressing. I sugar intake is almost no existence. I have dinner every other night and it's usually something healthy after my workout. However, I have the largest flakes and my scalp itches like crazy. The only thing I do I blowdry my hair every day. But I use heat protectants. My diet is so clean so what could be causing this crazy amount of dandruff?
Have you tried going gluten free? I had a lot of flakes, but I noticed as I started to go gluten free it helped. A lot of hair products have gluten and it could also be that alcohol is in hair products and it could be drying your scalp too. Try alcohol free hair products. It’s worth a shot best of luck!!
@@wiilkahargeysajecel8748 same answer. It’s a slow process. You’ll feel very bad for the first few weeks,but progressively better as the next weeks roll on.
I had a sausage, egg, and cheese breakfast biscuit problem. I started eating 1 grapefruit, one apple, 2 boiled eggs, and 8 ounces of kefir and I've noticed a huge difference. Also, i work outside so i used to wear a hat all day. Now, i only wear a hat to keep the heat from destroying my neck and forehead. I have noticed no more clumps of skin that i could scrape off with my fingernails. So, i feel way better now. Thanks, homie.
I have found that ibuprofen (Advil/Motrin) caused me to have terrible dandruff. Also, I stopped using any shampoo or conditioners with sulfates in them. My scalp is clear and healthy. No more problem.
I've had seborrheic dermatitis for years, even on a nose to tail carnivore diet. Nothing but beef and lamb. 2 years, no PUFAs, and nothing but red meat and suet and it still didn't go away until I went on feminizing HRT and got my androgens low enough. It's only come back when there were metabolic issues interfering with my HRT meds, but completely changing my diet had no effect on it. Completely gave me my life back in other ways, but that's one thing it never fixed for me. :P
I had dandruff long time ago, stopped shampoo for a long time, just washing hair with hot water and everything went back to normal, dandruff didn't came back, it was almost 30 years ago.
I've had horrendous dandruff since I was 12 years old. Head and shoulders daily is keeping it at a manageable level. I've been on the keto diet for the last 18 months. I've lost 40kg (88lbs) so far (down from 170kg/375lbs). Although the weightloss has been fantastic, I can honestly say that my dandruff remains. I also get really bad beard dandruff. Maybe I'm built different but this didn't work for me. Also I live in Australia so getting some sun is never an issue. Although it does seem to be worse in the winter months.
Head and shoulders has fixed my dandruff for years now and if I use a different shampoo it pretty much immediately comes back. For me it's a godsend. The comments on this video are sus. I think there's a lot of bots. Seems weird. Almost all commenters names end in 4 numbers. 🤨. If H&S works for you keep using lol I know I will.
I just got shocked the other day when I saw excessive dandruff on the side of my head above ears😮 never had that. I am pregnant however and my craving and food aversions are crazy. I don’t honestly see I could change my diet right now 😢
Love your work, doc! Thank you! Question. We have been in LCHF diet for a year. Most of our health conditions are gone! We are healthy. My husband’s sugar is 84. We eat min carbs, min sugar- religiously. He still has some seborrhea. Way less than before. Should we count our blessings?
I’m doing this with one difference, my only source of carbs is fruit that I’m having as a treat and veg for fiber. No industrial oil, no industrial sweets. Doesn’t work for me But I’m also taking medication for an allergy, which can do something with immunity…
I just realized that my dandruff is gone. Not sure when exactly it disappeared but i've been low carb for a year now. I used to be able to stick my fingernail in my scalp and scratch huge chunks of dead skin. I'ts so disgusting to think about now but back then it was just one of many things i had accepted as normal.
I've heard this from thousands or people who used to have dandruff. A Proper Human Diet makes it go away...
Me, too! I've had "dandruff" since childhood.
So with that said does that mean that omega 9 and 6 faty acids increase cell production and thus shorten the duration of time thoughout someone's life and increase the speed in which the hayflick limit of a cell is reached and lead to faster rate to cancer?
@@normakarina5123 have you listened to the video? The Dr states in the video that a shampoo might relieve your symptoms temporarily, but won't get rid of the issue. I know because I have suffered from seborrheic dermatitis for many years and have tried almost everything out there. For starters, I would recommend a good high quality non toxic shampoo such as Pure Haven's Detox Charcoal shampoo or Moogoo's Milk Shampoo. Both have helped me. However after listening to his video, I am going low carb and implementing his suggestions. Hoping to soon be rid of this frustrating issue soon. Best of luck! :)

5:47 Inflammation. 7:45 Overproduction of skin cells. 8:43 Improper immune response 10:00 Hormonal imbalance. 11:35 Recap
Thank you 🙏
The cure to sebo is overall immune health, not skin alone. So many have cured by this method that no one knows. Also dont trust every doctor.
Cure is : 1, positive no matter what, your body releases positive energy and frequency, viberations that helps heal and maintain your horomones. Stress also breaks down your body, and makes horomones imbalance. I have done everything below but never cured. Bc i didnt do number 1, which is the most important.
2, eat healthy such like strong fermented yogurt( for the gut) and fruits, meat, dairy(if you can eat) veg etc. No junk food. SEBO IS NOT ABOUT YOUR SKIN BARRIER ONLY. its about your gut and overall immune health. I dont perfer eating a lot of noodles and ramen. Also brain and horomonal health imbalance causes your body to eat up oil on face.(which is why sebo is made) Danderuff, severe acne and harden teeth plaque, tonsil stone, oral health, is all related to overall immune health. Flossing will not cure tartar in fact tartar doesnt come off with floss. Shampoo doesnt help with danderuff. Brain and horomone balance is important, Which is why number 1 is important.
3. Pray to god, and say only positive stuff to others. Theres a saying, where unhealthy body is telling your spirit something. Have Unhealthy oral?, say positive only through your mouth.
Do not go to the dentist and take drugs unless its needed badly. But oral, danderuff, sebo needs to be cured by inner health and soul only. If you got harden plaque try taking it off at home with steel if can or take it out at dentist. Its gonna make months depending on how severe your sebo is. But there will be joy in the morning so trust and live a good livestyle.
Any questions?
Overproduction of skin cells also includes rough, dry-looking skin that needs regular non-abrasive exfoliating. Consequently, too much dead skin cells is also a factor to clogged pores which results to acne.

This video is hands down the most ridiculously fantastic advice on this subject. Thank you so so much for not selling out and telling us to buy useless shampoos and potions that just don’t work and for giving everyone advice that will actually work ❤️
My TCM doctor said meat is the culprit due to my ancestors being mostly vegetarians. Can't verify it, as my wife is an uber carnivore and dead animals are delicious.
He's full of shit. How do I know that - I have heavy dandruf and don't even eat plant based oils and high carbs.
Or the opposite, depending on the person--and that is key to understanding this. If diet could fix everything, it would. It doesn't. Not even close. The diet advocated here sure didn't change this condition for me. I just eat that way for other health reasons anyway.
This is just his opinion without any evidence. My comment says completely different story. 🙂
@ReflectedMiles We are all different with different needs. It doesn't mean it doesn't work, it means it doesn't work for everyone.
You are a great doctor. Our entire medical system is now based on treating just the symptoms with expensive and toxic chemicals rather than treat the root cause naturally. Subscribed
If your Dandruff has improved on Low-Carb/KETO/Carnivore please share your story in the comments to help skeptical new-comers understand because this is important.
Hi Dr Berry . Thanks for sharing such great information . I am avid follower of your videos . Husband and myself have been following keto for about an year now and had great results . My son who is a toddler has been diagnosed with alopecia about an year ago . Appreciate if you could provide some insight and video where you can talk about this and provide your research on this topic.
Oh noes, cut the oatmeal? Shots fired!

Is cradle cap dandruff?? My little dude developed cc recently. 😕
My Dandruff improved a bit, but it's not gone
I'm doing Keto / OMAD (With no Cheating) for 6 months now and my health became way better.
But for the Dandruff sadly it's not entirely gone
You seem like a snakesoil guy. I really doubt if you see real medical case. The thing with these UA-cam doctors is that they are not great at practicing, hardly have any patients and in order to make money they try these trends to make quick bucks.
I have had dandruff all my life, been on low carb for a little over a year and my dandruff issue was noticably better (not gone but better than any of the shampoos have ever done) with everything going on I let myself have carbs the past 2 weekends and all of a sudden my dandruff is out of control again, I had no clue why. Your video came along right on time. Thank you!
Yup ...
I have dandruff too. The only way I keep it off for a few days is by rinsing my scalp with white vinegar. Diluted if is too strong for you. Let it rest on your scalp for at least 3 minutes and rinse off/shampoo. It stays off for a few days but always comes back
Use shampoo containing ketoconzole 2% regularly and tablet atazis 25. It's best to treat it

I've had dandruff all my life. My mom fed us a sugar/carb based diet with tons of soda so I am a sugar addict. After watching your videos and a few others, I cut carbs and went into Keto, cut out al seed oils, now I'm just low carb. Achs and pains went away, I lost over 15 lbs and have a 6pack again at 44 years old, my dandruff went away and my rocecea went almost completely away. I went from having roceacea and skin problems so bad that my cheeks would actually bleed to it barley being noticeable. My blood pressure is now perfect! I feel as good as I did in my late teens or early 20s. The cravings for carbs eventually go away but I sometimes slip when hanging around the wrong people and I am weak. The problems, bloating and bad mental state start coming back very quickly, much faster then they go away from living correctly.
What You Eating ??
Exactly what I was looking for. I was told it's not about the inside and was prescribed with lots of products I'd have to use everyday. I tried to ask about the diet and vitamin imbalance but it seems like they are all hooked with big pharma industry.
Thank you
Not only the dandruff cure, but darn near the cure for everything.
no lie, low-carb and high protein diet is the cure for so many diseases.
True that
Been struggling with dandruff and oily skin all my life but also eating so many fruits, carbs and sugar 😭😭😭 thank you for this Dr.

After that what happen Are you Feeling Change ????
@@disnalee What you Feeling If you stop Sugar ??
Worst with constipaton
I have been keto/carnivore this year, and my tinnitus is now quiet, no dandruff, went from mid 150s to low 140s in weight (I'm 5'7") stiffness and joint pain greatly reduced/most days non-existent. Dress size has gone from an 18 down to a 12/14. I am 53, but no longer look my age. Looking younger is probably one of the coolest effects of low carb eating!
This doctor is so spot on.. I've been avoiding industrially produced seed oils for 2 months (for other health reasons and after watching other videos from other doctors about the same subject). My other female related health issue so far has greatly improved.
Then last night I cheated on my diet with Burger King and a few low sugar yogurts for dinner. I woke up this morning with returning dandruff and severe itching that I haven't had in a while and was wondering why. I googled and came upon this video.. And its more proof to me that industrially produced seed oils are screwing up my system.
I so wish all these fast food places and the fast food industry in general would stop using Canola and other seed oils :(
@Winter Zhukovsky, I am 62 and that the fast food industry was using tallow when I was a child. When I was older there was a huge uproar from activist types to stop animal fats and switch to “heart healthy” fats. It took a while (as I remember) but the fast food chains did switch over. Then the food never tasted as good. These do-gooders also recommended giving up eggs and following the “healthy breakfast” which was cereal, milk, orange juice and toast with a pat of margarine. The government does not know best, grandma does
I know that Chick FIL A cooks with peanut oils.
Hey, how's your situation now? Have you been able to solve it? Did you have to give up carbs completely?
I used ketoconazole based shamploo and betamethasone as dipropionate lotion for two weeks and today on my second checkup the dermatologist prescribed me a shampoo and a face wash for another two weeks, and told me that the build up will come back sometimes forever... can't tell how thankful I am, Jazakallah !!! May Allah bless you with the best gift
@@zaynab4991 good .. jai shree ram krishna ... ayurveda is also nice.. try it
Thank you! I had a high sugar intake for about a year, enjoying to many cookies etcetera. After watching this video I quit all that, basically going on a keto diet. My dandruff was 90% gone in a couple of weeks. Thank you thank you:)
I was watching this video to help my daughter....She is 11 and has suffered with dandruff since she was about 7. We have tried everything for her dandruff. Tea trea oil has been the most helpful thing so far. She has a ton of hair and a very sensitive scalp so its been a battle trying to get rid of it. I used to get dandruff too. I have been on keto since Oct of 2019. I hadn't even stopped to think about the fact that I haven't been dealing with dandruff. That makes sense...I will try switching her over to my keto based diet.
My son is 11 as well and he is having dandruff problems....how did your daughter try the keto diet?
Did Dermatologist rule out Psoriasis?
Thanks. Best analysis I've heard on this. Makes sense. I noticed the only time my dandruff stopped was when I was in India on a retreat, on a restricted diet and loads of sunlight and sea...

Great teaching Dr. Berry. No dandruff, but have occasional bouts of seborrheic dermatitis on my face. I am an RN and this is so helpful.
In my case, the seborrheic dermatitis is directly triggered the very next day after consuming dairy, grain, or if I went to town on sugar. The only dairy I never react to is butter. (even though I’ve been strictly gluten free since 2017)
@@daliab8493 هل تعود لك الالتهاب الدهني
I had seborrhoeic dermatitis since the 2nd Grade. I’ve tired everything! From prescriptions, OTC and natural remedies. It embarrassed me my who life and the itch drove me crazy constantly. 5 yrs ago it started developing in my ears. I had a hard time with keto and IF until I work myself up to OMAD. It was easier to do keto with one meal. (Also taking probiotics and vitamin D) After 2 weeks I noticed a difference in my scalp. A month and a half later I barely have any dandruff. I’ve been so happy and relieved. I don’t have to use a lice comb for 30 mins after washing my hair no more. Also my hair has been softer and more nourished. Thank you so much for your advice and videos.
Seriously, your health suggestions are common sense. Oddly, many people are missing this information. I am constantly listening and learning everyday from your informational video.

Yep same here
Really? I'll have to up that along with the vitamin c. Thank you!
How long was it for you to start seeing improvement
That’s great. I just read a book all about mega dosing vitamin D for so many ailments. I’ve tried 10K IU 3 x daily for 3 days and I think I’m seeing improvements!!
100% correlation. Had bad dandruff all growing up and in my 20’s . Was running insanely high intakes of all the carbs, sugars, seed veg oils, etc. Experimented with different diet styles all the high sugar, high carb ones I’ve had dandruff. Mostly on carnivore now added keffer and Greek yogurt all grass fed. Drink athletic greens and also little cold press juice beets, carrots, wheatgrass, lemon. No more dandruff. I loove bread and pastry way to much to not have a little treat. only If binge the carbs will the dandruff return.
What I eat To Remove dandruff ???
What do you suggest we eat bro
Do you think athletic greens plays a big part? Do you think I can achieve the same results without the athletic greens?
Found the roganite😂
Hey, thought I’d come back and leave a comment. Did carnivore diet for 7 days and my dandruff completely cleared after 7 months of shampoo, steroids, pills. Thank you so much for this information.
I just started eating more dairy and now the dandruff has got worse thank you it makes sense now. I’m trying to cut dairy and carbs in my diet! This video helped a lot
I find it very disturbing that I’m getting this information from a general practitioner and not from my dermatologist. I had dandruff and some psoriasis around my nose. My dermatologist looked at me for 3 seconds and wrote a prescription for steroid cream to apply daily. She also never once mentioned the horrifying side effects from steroid cream (which I found out from testimonials on UA-cam).
So my conclusion based on my experiences is this: Dermatologist are operating a quick fix business with potential nasty side effects and don’t provide holistic approach to fix the root cause of skin issues.
This drives me crazy. Putting people on chemicals that would continue their problem. They are scammers, but I guess they exist for people who won’t change diets and want quick fixes.
Welcome to every experience I've ever had with every medical practitioner, doctor or specialist. Plain lazy, no pride or honor in their work. Profit over cure. Treating the symptom not the cause is the general rule of thumb. After waiting almost a year to see a specialist ( in Canada)
"Here, I'll write you a prescription, you go pick it up and take it for the rest of your life, problem solved"
Literally had a specialist tell me those exact words when trying to treat my chronic heart burn. I was in and out of his office in less than 3 minutes. I tore up that piece of paper and never filled the prescription.
Happy to say I eliminated my heart burn entirely with diet no thanks to the so called "specialist"
@@amoeba2091 A year?? That’s horrible.
they all do,they dont care about nutrition or other things that can help,i went to 6+ dermatologist and they all give same steroids creams,no advice about naturally way
In some cases, Dermatologist are the cause of Seborrheic Dermatitis. The overuse of antibiotics is one.
All of this is true and it really works. I had a nasty case of seborrheic dermatitis since I was 13, on my scalp, face and ears. Of course I was a carb-lover with a cortisol level up the roof. Used countless dermatologist approved treatments but the seb derm was always coming back and all I heard from derms was that this is a *chronic condition that will stay with me for the rest of my life*. But then I tried to loose some weight and to do that I switched to clean low carb/keto to reverse my insulin resistance. I also worked on lowering my cortisol naturally and ate lots of anti-inflammatory foods. I already gave up on treating my seb derm but as I was doing my diet I noticed my skin cleared up, my scalp no longer had bad smell and giant yellow flakes, my hair started growing back. Didn't know it was related to my lifestyle change, but then I read studies on how carbohydrate rich diet aggravates seborrheic dermatitis. I've been low carb since last year and I've never been free from dandruff for such a long time. It's great that someone is finally talking about internal causes of seb derm instead of giving one of those gimmick advice on shampoos.
Thats great. But its hard for people who dont want to lose weight..
@@teun9093 On keto diet you can loose weight, maintain weight or even gain weight (in muscle mass). It all depends on how you structure your diet.
Thank you for this video. It will greatly reduce my visit to the dermatologist who has NEVER said anything about what’s happening to me internally. 😡
My dandruff actually got worse after using dandruff shampoo, It might help cover up the systems but definitely doesn't cure the actual cause. Great stuff, Ken!
The zinc stuff makes it worse for me
You need to use Selsun Blue+Nizoral. Once the itching stops, the existing dead cells will flake off (giving the illusion that it's getting worse) and when all the dying cells have flaked off, you're left with a nice scalp.
Next, use Sulfur8 at night to keep it off.
There's no permanent cure but this is the only way its been tolerable for me.
Try nizoral and let me know
Head&shoulder is the worst 😖

My blood work showed VERY high levels of triglycerides, my cholesterol is normal tho... I also have a lack of vitamin D.

My daughter had thick dandruff with a large wet area. I gave my daughter vitamin D, one pill in the morning and one at night. Within a couple days her scalp was dried up. And in a week the dried flakes almost completely cleared up. She missed a couple days when we ran out of pills, and it came back full force. “Wash, rinse, repeat” and we saw improvements immediately again.
Understood. Thanks doctor for easy explanation. Now I can pin point what is going wrong with my newly discovered dandruff.
I eat outside food which is fried and also my diet is full of carbs and sugary stuff.
Very well relatable
Never seen an American doctor giving honest medical advice free. What a good man you are! God bless you. Some American medics sell their formulas for $60 a bottle of one month supply.
I just got diagnosed with glycosylation of connective tissues. I've told my wife for years that I am 'inflamed'. Finally a diagnosis. I also have a terrific case of Seborrhoeic Dermatitis. I have started a new diabetes program that is controlling my sugars much better, but I'm only about month in and still have adjustments to make. The dermatologist only recommended shampoos and creams. What you are saying makes good sense because I'm seeing other effects of the inflammation and immune response, which makes it worse. Thanks for the information. I think after years of ghostly diagnoses like fibromyalgia are coming to an end with this connection to inflammation.
I've been doing Keto for about 6 months now. I'm down 50 pounds and have experienced many of the side benefits you've discussed in other videos, but the dandruff persists.
Ken Klose try apple cider vinegar
Rub in a scalp, leave for a couple of hours, wash it out, may clear it up - works for me
Same here bro, but mine comes and goes.
Same here I lost 75 pounds on Keto and still have seborrheic dermatitis it's such a pain really.
Carnivore is the ultimate elimination diet. Give it a try and after 60 day introduce one new (keto) food you are used to, and wait for 2 weeks to see what happens, before introducing another food. Like for babies😅😍. I am no doctor but this is how I've noticed the tons of cheese did something not ok for me. Hope this helps, take care 🤗
I suggest researching the gut health link. Any pain or heat in your gut during the day or when you stress?
Where do this video hit?
Close to home,
You have just summed up how to get rid of seborrhoeic dermatitis. You bought together everything I did after a recent flare. I had it once before many years ago but didn't know what it was at the time. I am vegetarian and pride myself on my fresh food diet, using organic olive oil and fresh produce. I cook from scratch and only eat takeaway food a couple of times a year. However, I had been eating a few too many sugary extras with my afternoon cuppa and realise that vege diets can be high carb naturally. I made an assumption that my sugar could be too high because I associated the malassezia with sugar and yeast. I decided to monitor my sugar and carbs. My carbs and sugar were in recommended levels without the extra treats, so I've stopped the treats. I ordered a high quality algae based omega 3 supplement, took probiotics and ate sauerkraut and I'm drinking two pints of water a day. I also use a gentle toner on my face to clear the oil. I do have a slightly over active immune system and will need to look after my body to keep these problems at bay. THIS ADVICE WORKS! Thank you.
I came here to tell people how I cured my dermatitis and you may think it's crazy, yes at first the animal based diet was helping but the real issue was carbs residue left in the mouth and feeding bad bacteria. I cured it by brushing my teeth after each meal. Years later now I can eat whatever I want and have been dermatitis free since 2021.
Did you reduce cavities as well? (I have terrible teeth).
Going Carnivore led to no dandruff and had the dandruff for decades
Hey guys. I used to have Seborrherheic Dermatitis with flaky dandruff. This thing have to cure with your diet and healthy lifestyle. Here's one more tip, I used to blend the Neem Leaves and apply it in my scalp 30 minutes before showering. 2-3 times a week. The scalp will be clear without dandruffs. Neem leaves are naturally antifungal.
"All problems on the outside, are caused on the inside".
This is true regarding the world. All of life is an inside job. NOTHING is outside of self. Negativity that manifests in one's experience began inside one's heart, mind, thoughts, beliefs, etc.

His suggestions are thoroughly on point. Especially, exposing your skin to the sun daily is extremely beneficial. Also, rinse your head after profusely sweating at gym.
I can confirm his teaching. I suffered from excessive dandruff for years. I spend hundreds of dollar on products it never really worked until head&sholdier blue bottle, it reduced it but there still were some dandruff left in the hair. I started the ketogenic diet last week and I just looked at my hair to my surprise there is not dandruff. It's only been a week how is this possible.
My sebborrhoeic dermatitis only stays away if I eat liver regularly ( I make beef / lamb / liver burgers and have one a day). I believe from Elliot Overton from EONutrition that it could be that I require more B vitamins and this is why the liver is helping.
Please make a video on spring allergies
FINALLY a doctor who knows his stuff!
Carbohydrates and dairy increase insulin which increases IGF-1. (Insulin like growth factor 1. ) Which in turn increases sebum production. Excess sebum production causes all of the problems.
Once you stop eating carbs and dairy, insulin goes down , which in turn lowers IGF-1 which lowers sebum production. This results in clear skin. Finally a doctor who knows his stuff. Most doctors or dermatologists don’t know anything about the true cure. Because most are trained to just treat symptoms of diseases.

I was diagnosed in 2011 with prostatitis. Prescribed Cipro. Symptoms persisted and doc kept me on cipro for 3 months. Ended up with C-diff infection. I was 35 years old. Then the big gun antibiotics. Cleared the c-diff. Then came seb derm and post infection ibs. It’s in the gut for me. I know it without a doubt. Planning to have FT soon as gut has never been the same and Seb derm is bad.
I did a reset diet years ago, cut out unhealthy carbs, processed foods. 2 weeks veggies, protein, no grains. Smoothie with slow carb fruit in morning. Then add in GF grains like brown rice.

I never heard anyone name off so many varieties of cooking oils without mentioning one of the most common - olive oil ! Where does that one rank? 🙎♂️
Yes, I would like to know the answer as well. Lol
@@alishaohara7236 From what I gathered olive oil is the healthiest choice among cooking oils on the market (especially xtra virgin oil). Loaded with antioxidants, anti- inflammatory properties (chronic inflammation is regarded to be a leading driver of diseases ie cancer, heart disease, metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer's, arthritis and even obesity).
The predominant fatty acids are monounsaturated oleic acid, omega 6, omega 3 (as fish oil). Also helps in lowering hypertension (blood pressure)

I'm 2 months into carnivore, and my flakiness is lessening, but not gone yet. I have noticed another skin-related benefit that astounded me. All my life, I've had what I call horseshoe heels. The skin around my heels would thicken and crack and get craggy, enough so that it could put holes in socks. I was always having to get after them with a pumice stone or creams or salves or those commercial gadgets to keep it manageable. Then about a month into this diet, as I was putting on my shoes one morning, I realized my heels were almost baby-butt soft, and I hadn't done anything to them. It's amazing all the things you hear about that improve on this diet, that you'd never expect had to do with food.
Wow, I also have a similar problem. Thank you very much for sharing that the diet has helped you in this way! I am just learning about keto and carnivore diets, and I never thought a symptom like cracked heals could be diet related. Wishing you all the best !
One tablespoon of raw coconut oil two times in my diet worked for me.
I used a 1:1 mixture of date vinegar and water, left it in for an hour with a shower cap on, washed with mild shampoo. My dandruff was visibly gone, yet continued to do the same every 2 weeks and my dandruff never returned.
i already eat rice for 20 years... and it's hard for me to getting rid of it, but i'll try. Thanks for the video.

I've been low carb, high protein for over 20 years, only ever used healthy oils to cook with. I have found that Castor Oil stops the quick proliferation of the skin when I put it on externally, it doesn't stop it completely, but it certainly does help to break the never ending cycle of it getting worse, mine is a lot better after using Castor Oil on my scalp. My body appears to be asking for iodine, find myself eating a lot of Greek Coconut Yogurt and I put on ground walnuts for breakfast.
The high omega 6&9 fats include hemp seeds and hempseed oil, and fish like tilapia.
This doctor solve my gout situation with out he know , I’m following you from Saudi Arabia. Thanks doctor
The problem with switching seed oils to animal fats is the increase of saturated fat -> cardiovascular disease. Also the suggestion to eat eggs is weird because pretty much all eggs (at least in Canada) are made to have more omega 6 FA, which is apparently what you don’t want according to your sources. The insulin thing isn’t really a problem if you eat carbs that are low on the GI scale bc the problem is that the insulin is spiking at a fast rate. If that rate is slowed down, then the spike isn’t as big so it should be fine to eat carbs in a way where it won’t enter your bloodstream too quickly (slower rate of eating+lower gi scale of food).
Hi Dr. berry, hubby is type 2 so we have been Keto/low carb for years. Last year he started having psoriasis we think on his scalp. So in January we went full carnivore for a whole month. We stopped everything except meat and salt. No coffee, no eggs, no dairy, no veggies. After a month we felt better but were also experiencing appetite fatigue, so we have been adding in things slowly...olive oil, coconut oil, ghee, garlic, green onions, thyme, for seasoning. Cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower , bok choy
for veggies. Just plain salt wasn’t cutting it. We also just added .vit.D,C, zinc and selenium for avoiding Covid we hope. The psoriasis, is a tiny bit better. But just not responding the way we had hoped. I did just start us on probiotics about a week ago. Are we on the right path? He refuses to take meds or use steroids, so I need all the diet help I can get. Just feeling super frustrated that it isn’t responding. Are we just expecting results too quickly?
He covered the insulin topic...
Protein converts to sugar in the liver to feed the cycle....
I've noticed I have less when I use *Miracle II moisturizing soap* (with no conditioner.. I can feel the toxins from any conditioner getting into my scalp). When my hair is dry it is VERY soft and easy to brush.
Also *BRUSHING LESS* reduces dandruff as well!! (Less than once a day.. preferably even less.)
I DO have long hair down to my waist so... I usually keep it in a bun so or doesn't tangle much.
That's too bad Beth. The food looks so healthy. Hey the zinc is ionic and needs an ionophore to get inside the cells to interrupt sars2's replicating via mRNA. I add quercitin to 15mg Zn for maintenance. There's a higher protocol for COVID-19 if it happens and I'll do that w/ azythromicin.
Its a fuckin gut problem, believe me
How are you doing now?
I'm happy to learn I've been doing the right things and avoiding high carb/seed oil filled diet but my dandruff issues began worsening despite my low processed diet. Kind of at a loss now.
Ive been waiting to watch something positive in the internet for a while now, and this is the best one and most informative yet. Deserves a sub doc Thanks for the free diagnosis
Indian trying to avoid rice and grains 😭
Please make a video for androgenetic alopecia. I cant believe that this is not a reversable condition and that we have to put medicines on our scalp for the rest of our life! How can we have our hair back? Its a condition that a lot of men and women suffer from and still noone can give a permanent solution!
never use veggie oil. My dandruff is really minor, but seborrhoeic eczema in my face is just of the charts. So must be something different. For me the main factor is stress, or worry. I quit my job that give me stress self doubt self blame feeling of failing negative thoughts. This is highly overlooked in my opinion. AND i even just started the carnivore diet which you highly believe in.
But the TV told me that doing my own research is bad!
Thanks for you work.
Former Tennessean living in Japan here. I went 15 years dandruff free and then it suddenly came back last year. The only seed oil I consume is a tiny amount of grapeseed oil I use to season my cast iron skillets. I don't have elevated insulin or consume high amounts of sugars or carbs, and I get 30+minutes of sunlight every day, so I guess the only issues left for me to investigate are hormonal or immune response?
exactly, however in the video Dr. Berry is attributing the hormonal and inappropriate immune response to elevated insulin caused by the diet which you don't have an issue with. There are also things that aren't adding up for my situation as well. hopefully he can respond
I’ve been using mustard seed oil and it works great.
is coconut oil fine?
I actually enjoy ketovore diet 😅
I have been eating carbs so yeah that’s why I have dandruff 🤯this is no excuse but we have had a freezing winter in Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺 so it’s getting warmer now and being disciplined will be easier.
That’s it for me. Straight back to zero carbs. Thanks Doc ❤
Just ran across this channel and out of all the research, this is very helpful and will assist me in taking these steps.
I was prescribed that red-coloured shampoo that begins with a K to battle my recurring scalp issues.
I recently threw it away because that shampoo not only dries the heck outta my scalp (worsening the appearance of flakes), I find it also aggravates the eczema/dermatitis conditions on my hands and face.
Gonna try getting my hands on a keto and an anti-inflammatory cookbook and see if I can make a positive change to my diet! Thank you Doc!
Wow it aggravates my face too!
Thanks for the video doc. But I've been intermittent fasting for 2 years now. I have cut out all the things you mentioned for over 2 years now. I eat a large salad for lunch from Monday to Friday, with healthy ingredients and very little dressing. I sugar intake is almost no existence. I have dinner every other night and it's usually something healthy after my workout. However, I have the largest flakes and my scalp itches like crazy. The only thing I do I blowdry my hair every day. But I use heat protectants. My diet is so clean so what could be causing this crazy amount of dandruff?
Have you tried going gluten free? I had a lot of flakes, but I noticed as I started to go gluten free it helped. A lot of hair products have gluten and it could also be that alcohol is in hair products and it could be drying your scalp too. Try alcohol free hair products. It’s worth a shot best of luck!!
Probably stress
Could be vitamin D deficiency too.
I’ve got dandruff. You have to use anti dandruff shampoo. All this diet stuff is BS
@@luckyemmanuelzimehwerobalo5585 no. Nothing to do with it
Hey Dr, How long does it takes to see the changes upon following what you suggested? Thanks for such informative suggestions. Looking forward.
Expect this process to 3-6 months. It’s not a quick fix, but it’s ultimately the most effective approach to solve skin issues
@@jdklein033 How many Month I feel Change If i stop sugar and Dairy
@@wiilkahargeysajecel8748 same answer. It’s a slow process. You’ll feel very bad for the first few weeks,but progressively better as the next weeks roll on.
@@jdklein033 If I have oily skin If i stoo Sugar and dairy 2 month I feel Change ?
I did see dramatic improvements in just 2 weeks
I had a sausage, egg, and cheese breakfast biscuit problem. I started eating 1 grapefruit, one apple, 2 boiled eggs, and 8 ounces of kefir and I've noticed a huge difference. Also, i work outside so i used to wear a hat all day. Now, i only wear a hat to keep the heat from destroying my neck and forehead. I have noticed no more clumps of skin that i could scrape off with my fingernails. So, i feel way better now. Thanks, homie.
I have found that ibuprofen (Advil/Motrin) caused me to have terrible dandruff. Also, I stopped using any shampoo or conditioners with sulfates in them. My scalp is clear and healthy. No more problem.

I've had seborrheic dermatitis for years, even on a nose to tail carnivore diet. Nothing but beef and lamb. 2 years, no PUFAs, and nothing but red meat and suet and it still didn't go away until I went on feminizing HRT and got my androgens low enough. It's only come back when there were metabolic issues interfering with my HRT meds, but completely changing my diet had no effect on it. Completely gave me my life back in other ways, but that's one thing it never fixed for me. :P
He surprisingly didn't talk about olive oil. Is olive oil a good oil or bad??
Shouldn't there be some law against misguiding public? For example head and shoulder misguiding public into believing something that is not true.
I had dandruff long time ago, stopped shampoo for a long time, just washing hair with hot water and everything went back to normal, dandruff didn't came back, it was almost 30 years ago.
Informative and useful. Any video on getting rid of keloids and its causes ?
I've had horrendous dandruff since I was 12 years old. Head and shoulders daily is keeping it at a manageable level. I've been on the keto diet for the last 18 months. I've lost 40kg (88lbs) so far (down from 170kg/375lbs). Although the weightloss has been fantastic, I can honestly say that my dandruff remains. I also get really bad beard dandruff. Maybe I'm built different but this didn't work for me.
Also I live in Australia so getting some sun is never an issue. Although it does seem to be worse in the winter months.
Head and shoulders has fixed my dandruff for years now and if I use a different shampoo it pretty much immediately comes back. For me it's a godsend.
The comments on this video are sus. I think there's a lot of bots. Seems weird. Almost all commenters names end in 4 numbers. 🤨.
If H&S works for you keep using lol I know I will.
@@MaximusWallis I think it’s weird too hearing “miracle” stories after every other comment.
Wow seriously the way u explained it so briefly...just amazing n informative 🔥
I just got shocked the other day when I saw excessive dandruff on the side of my head above ears😮 never had that. I am pregnant however and my craving and food aversions are crazy. I don’t honestly see I could change my diet right now 😢
Love your work, doc! Thank you! Question. We have been in LCHF diet for a year. Most of our health conditions are gone! We are healthy. My husband’s sugar is 84. We eat min carbs, min sugar- religiously. He still has some seborrhea. Way less than before. Should we count our blessings?
Quitting coffee almost completely gets rid of mine. I'm not sure if it's the caffeine or something else in coffee.
Very nice. Thanks a lot.
The begining was a bit repetirive, but the meat of tge explanation was clear and concise.
I’m doing this with one difference, my only source of carbs is fruit that I’m having as a treat and veg for fiber. No industrial oil, no industrial sweets. Doesn’t work for me
But I’m also taking medication for an allergy, which can do something with immunity…
