I was addicted to sugar, depressed and lacking energy and confidence. I have lost 14kg, my sugar addiction is in remission, my depression has eased, my energy is returning and I am cleaning the house again and my confidence is much better. I am 69 and I never thought my health could improve so much! Thanks to all those who responsibly promote this way of eating and living.
Your message gave hope :-)
30.86 pounds
Almost 66 and feeling better than I can ever remember, both physically and mentally. Happy for you, Ann :)
Ann, your remark about being able to clean the house again is HUGELY important. I could see I was going downhill because I had zero motivation or energy to clean or tidy up and living in clutter just makes things worse and worse and you spiral downwards incredibly quickly. You also don't want to go out or socialise unless it's absolutely necessary. Basically, you're just barely functioning on every level. Thank God I found high fat carnivore through all the excellent proponents on you tube and their wonderful 'tribes'. I am beginning to feel myself again. Blessings to you, lovely x
Ann, so happy for you! I’m 64, was carnivore for six months and just felt great. Got a bad virus around a month ago and started eating more carbs. My depression is back with a vengeance, so noticeable. Back to carnivore, it really works!
I had a brain/cranial nerve injury caused by Ramsay Hunt Syndrome. I wasn’t diagnosed or appropriately treated until my 9th day in the hospital. By then I had meningitis and nearly died. I was inappropriately treated with high doses of multiple IV antibiotics. But It was a virus. I needed steroids and anti viral medication. I left the hospital in a desperate condition and spent the next year sleeping around the clock while my brain tried to heal. I couldn’t walk or read or write or speak. By the second year I began to be awake more but wasn’t able to leave the house or care for myself. My neurologist told me that I would make what improvement I would have by the end of the second year. I had little to no improvement and by year three my quality of life was so completely unacceptable that I regretted that I hadn’t died. On my own I started a strict ketovore diet as a Hail Mary. I knew about epileptic children being saved with the ketogenic diet and I had read that studies were being done using a ketogenic diet for brain injured military personnel. Well, within two weeks, I wasn’t falling or passing out or sundowning or flooding and I could be out of bed for more and more hours each day. I got stronger, my memory came back. Five years later, I’m still strict ketovore, and while not the person I was before the injury, I’m strong and fit and optimistic and happy. So yep, it’s my miracle. It repaired my BRAIN.
Within two weeks ?
@@joecamel6835 I began to dramatically, suddenly, inexplicably improve at about the two week mark. Of course I’m still on the path to recovery. I’m old. And spending two years in bed as an old person is catastrophic. I was highly physically debilitated as well as brain damaged.
Amazing! Thanks for sharing your experience and inspiring others :)
Praise God!
That is awesome!! ❤
I started ketovore about 18 months ago. My mental health is the best it has been in my lifetime. Confidence and energy through the roof.
👍
👍👍👍👍👍👍
💯 me too… I’ve been struggling my entire 50+ years never living to my potential. When I started Keto 5 yrs ago- within weeks I was on fire super motivated, focused, excited and energized! It’s been that way ever since… so thankful! I’m 2+ yrs CV now…

What is ketovore?
I was on anti-depressants for 18 years and never once did my psychiatrist order any kind of health screening. In 2005, I finally got x-rays and then an MRI that showed a broken C5/C6 disk and a calcium deposit covering from C4 - C7. Four years after surgery, I started weaning myself off of anti-depressants using whole food supplements. Eleven years later, I found Keto and then Carnivore. Some days are good. Some days are not. I find improvements in my mental health one day at a time.
I just bought the book to give to my former psychiatrist.
I was depressed for 4 years after my son died. I started keto about 14 months ago. I just passed 100# lost. No more depression. I've been to town two different days this week. I didn't go out much before. Lookin
Forward to the cruise.
Have A Great Time😊
Bless you, you are very brave ❤
You’re doing your son proud by continuing on with your life and taking care of your health. Blessings to you.
So happy for you, good luck and God bless 😊
Sorry for the loss of your son, so glad your doing better.
First time I tried keto it took months for the mental clarity to kick ij. It was sudden. It was like I just woke up. It was so lovely and eerie.
Oh that's so great to read. It keeps me hopeful! Though I read voraciously, it'd be really nice to recall what I read! Many falls and concussions contribute to my issues. Good luck, Middle Tennessee Rita ❤
I went on keto when I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I was amazed that it not only reversed type 2, but also resulted in a great change in body and mental energy. I have now discontinued my decades long zoloft use for PTSD - effortlessly.
👍
Praise the Lord
I am a psychiatrist and talk with my patients all the time about ways high blood sugars, etc. may be affecting their mental health. I would say only about 10% pay any attention. Many complain that I am suggesting that they subtract the only thing they truly enjoy from their lives. I haven't listened the entire way through but am anxious to know how Dr. Palmer talks to his patients to help them with their carb addictions.
Honesty is still the best policy in every area of life, and in every profession. If they complain that you´re suggesting something unthinkable, that´s something they may need to reflect on. Nourishing ourselves shows self-compassion and love, and cutting out sugar and other carbs will facilitate healing, physically and mentally.
You're way better than my psychiatrist who told me sugar might help my mood. I cut sugar, feel way better. I think she just wants to keep me sick. Whips out the prescription pad like its a duel...
Tell them to eat as much quality animal fat as they want until the cravings diminish: butter, tallow, lard, ghee, bacon grease. You have to give them something if you take something away, and it will really nourish them. Just speaking from personal experience.. :)
@@iss8504 Nice image there! All the best with your continuing health journey x
Suggest to your patients to watch some of these Doctors on UA-cam. Use their research to back your suggestions up. These people obviously have food addictions that have caused or worsened their mental health. Do your research as well to have some of the most informative videos quick at hand to suggest so they don’t get bogged down in all the chatter. There are so many knowledgeable doctors available who are currently practicing and seeing patients, actively researching and have not only patients doing better to back them up but research papers as well. I started out on my journey not looking for or needing mental health help. I came to this way of eating for my diabetes diagnosis. I started out listening to the usual “keto influencers” and that did help but when I found the actual DOCTORS on here is when I really began to heal my body! I have family members telling me “don’t listen to all those quacks on the internet! They are just trying to sell you something. They aren’t doctors so they don’t know what they are talking about.” Well I was able to shut them all up when I found the REAL DOCTORS AND RESEARCH SCIENTISTS! I could find the research they mentioned in their videos that were published in medical journals! Long story short; some people really need to know and learn the medical and pharmaceutical field are in the business to keep them sick. Once they see that there is research that proves they have known for decades what the sugar and high carbs actually do to the body and that medication is just a bandaid maybe they will listen. So many just want to pop a magic pill and trust it will fix them quickly for good.
16 weeks ago, my weight was 311 and a1c 10.1. 3 weeks ago, 270 lbs 6.5 a1c. I credit this to starting with
no intentional sugar or carbs. My son said that part of KETO. After finding Dr. Ken Berry, my son and I went full Keto. I have also went 6 x 18 daily fasting. For the last 12 years, I have been on zombie autopilot. I now have the creativeness I had in high school.
👍 🙂
Fantastic
Awesome keep it up
Yes, it's a great read! I know as a retired Ob/Gyn that telling my patients that they could get addicted to the SSRI that I took from the office back cabinets, just wasn't enough! I regret that! I am so hopeful for the future of psychiatric medicine! Stay your positive self, Dr. Christopher! You are a joy to watch!
Happy, happy bd to Dr. Ken, one of my biggest heroes!🎉🎈🎁 (No cake!) Middle Tennessee Rita ❤
I struggled with narcolepsy for years (and still am) to the point where I couldn't move ahead in my career and I was letting my family down- think of the guy who always falls asleep at staff meetings and can't help my wife with the baby until I take my nap, and was very forgetful and absent minded.
I was diagnosed with Celiac disease and went through elimination diet/paleo/keto diet journey. Long story short, keto/carnivore + multiple-day fasting lifestyle helped my brain function so much better the narcolepsy doesn't dictate anymore. Even though the current literature says adults can't regrow neurons in the lateral hypothalamus (area damaged by narcolepsy), I can regrow neurons in other areas and improve the function of existing neurons and halt the autoimmunity of narcolepsy. Memory and logical thinking and problem-solving improved. Brain fog disappeared. I got a promotion at work, 3 years later I left the corporation to become an entrepreneur, and I feel like I can really be myself. I'm not living on the sidelines of my own life anymore.
This was outstanding. I’m in psych np school and I was discouraged about even completing the program because I’ve lost faith in this field of medicine. Dr Palmer has restored my belief that I can do some good! Thank you Dr Berry and Dr Palmer!
Don't lose faith! There is much good to be done in mental health. Just remember, writing a prescription will often be the least helpful thing you can do for your patients.
Brilliant comment! Wishing you all the best in your career!
Go forth, spread the word & prosper! Wishing you the best in helping people!
Maybe you can get a dual certification in keto/ carnivore nutrition!
That’s awesome news Larry. America needs you buddy!!!
WARNING… it’s a long post 🙃
I had my hubby take me to the ER on 8/6/2021 because I literally thought I was going to die. I don’t go doctor very often so at my first request my hubby was confused and then moved quicker than I expected. My heart rate was 144 and I was terrified! 😩 I called my kids and sent a text telling them how much that I loved them and how proud I was of them. My BP was really high for me as well. After some blood work, chest X-ray, ekg, and physical exam I was told I was dehydrated, my potassium was low but my heart was fine. That was the only explanation we (hubby and I) were given. They had me drink a high dose (disgustingly sweet) orange type drink of potassium and gave me a bag of iv fluids… then discharged me with a prescription for 3 days worth of 1 dose daily of high dose potassium AND a prescription for anxiety medication 😣 WTAF 😳 I filled the potassium script but not the anxiety meds! HELL NO! Then comes the best part… followed up with a cardiologist the following week and was told my palpitations and skipped beats were just something I’d have to live with. Our thoughts we ok fine BUT WHY are they happening? No answers, just crickets… he couldn’t leave the room fast enough. So he prescribed me a 7 day heart monitor. When I returned to talk about results with his NP I asked her if this could be related to some menopause symptoms I had been having for MONTHS? She said absolutely! 😮 I went to gynecologist but honestly didn’t want hormone therapy so now I have cleaned up my diet… was dirty keto before my ER visit and now I’m ketovore/carnivore… feeling much better but still a ways to go for optimal health AND I lost 17# since then and now with reduced severity of menopause symptoms. I’m saddened that no questions were asked in the ER about anything hormone related… after all I had just turned 50! AND no discussion about anything mental except that the doctor thought I was over reacting 😮
Now at home I check my BP somewhat regularly and it is fantastic! I still have pvc’s from time to time and very light classic menopause symptoms but I feel like I have the tools and resources to guide my health from a few of my favorite YT doctors AND greatly encouraged by all the comments I read of everyone’s experiences. Thank you all for sharing… it does help many of us!
Much love!
Danese
Hello ! Very similar to my story . Thank you for sharing !
I just got home from the hospital. I don’t know how to eat . Still having palpitations.
Much love and all the best, most doctors, grrrrrr
My story is VERY similar to yours. I landed in the ER three times. Truly thought I was dying. Continued to be awakened by panic attacks in the night, as well as out of the blue during the day, while relaxed. Feeling faint, chest pain, nausea, stomach cramps, uncontrollable trembling. Weeks and days of palpitations. Finally, a UA-cam cardiologist recommended magnesium. I drank some magnesium citrate powder and my palpitations were gone within 10 minutes!! Now when I feel them, I just drink the mag. Citrate and feel normal again. This was all brought on by menopause, yet NO doctor told me!
I feel that the medical field continues to shamefully ignore menopausal suffering. And it is part of EVERY woman’s life! We cannot “opt-out” of it!
I love Dr Palmers heart. He is for the people. He has integrity and truly cares for the well-being of people who suffer with mental problems. He works with our Creator to heal the downtrodden ❤❤
As a clinical psychologist working with kids and adolescents with significant mental health problems, I have been repeatedly and routinely shocked by the lack of knowledge demonstrated by many (but not all) psychiatrists. I have already read first few chapters of Dr. Palmer's book Brain Energy. I am highly recommending this book and this video to all of my colleagues and some of the parents of my young clients. Thank you Dr. Berry and Dr. Palmer!!!!!! BTW, keto for a year and now carnivore for past three months; have never felt better!
I am a 65 year old female. Have suffered from depression for many years. Have been on Keto for three months. Amazing the difference I feel
I wish I could have caught this live. I’m a nurse at a substance abuse treatment center. Finished the book on audible. Fantastic! After I listened to Dr. Berry’s and Dr. Westman’s books I bought hard copies. Will be doing the same with Brain Energy! It’s a keeper!
Once i went pastoral carnivore, my lifelong depression and anxiety was practically non existent. My craving for alcohol disappeared almost immediately. I just stopped drinking one day because i didn't need it. I'm healing mentally and physically.
OMG! Thank goodness, I am OK today, but I did have clinical depression 20 years ago & had a very unhelpful psychiatrist. I now am convinced that my experience was a combination of life change and the effect of Splenda on gut health. There was no discussion of my diet & I don't recall any labs being done. There was definitely no discussion about the Prozac that was prescribed, ie that it wasn't likely to be effective (it wasn't). When I reported that I didn't feel any better, the doctor increased the dose. When I told him that I still didn't feel better, he said, "Oh, I think your are better." He told me to be careful or I would gain weight. I did gain weight which was depressing. I was advised not to stop the med cold turkey, but I did. Luckily, I didn't suffer any severe consequences. I am doing great today off of artificial sweeteners and very low carb diet. I feel like most doctors are just inadequately educated licensed drug pushers.
It is actually called the Rockefeller Medical Mafia, creating what we have today.
This really makes me wanna cry. I work in Mental Health and addictions. My son died of an overdose last year. I want this paradigm to change too!!!!
Condolences for the loss of your son. I too want this paradigm to change. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
So so sorry thoughts and prayers with you, I lost my brother this way, the standard of care in UK for this is lost but the more awareness from.people like these incredible doctors is a shift 🙏🙏😊
So sorry for the loss of your son. Things change slowly but the turtle wins the race.
I so very sorry for your loss. Your son's loss is a loss for all of us.
Sorry
Within a month of starting a carnivore diet my lifelong depression all but vanished.. I couldn’t believe it. Almost 1 year on from that and still feeling great.
I was dirty keto for 4 years and switched to Carnivore in Jan. I am losing that last 10 -15 lb. I am feeling fantastic. I am emotionally even. No more roller coaster. Thank you Dr. BERRY FOR ALL YOU DO!!!!! I have gone from 196 to 134 lbs. My body is transforming. I have not been at this weight since I was 40. I am 64 years old.
I’m only on keto and carnivore for less than 2 months and I’m off antidepressants and my depression is gone! Interestingly my therapist freaked out when I told her that I had done this and told me to call a psychiatrist immediately if not sooner… but I was right and Dr. Ken and company are right as well! Woohoo 😄💙
She was scared of losing a long term client lol!
How long did you take antidepressants for before coming off? Did you tper yourself?
Dr. Palmer's realistic, graceful approach to our human condition is so heartwarming. Nothing is black and white. Not one thing works for everyone...I'm so thankful practitioners like him exist!!!
I was on Prozac for 30 years at least. I'm doing spectacularly well now off Psych meds and on carnavore.
I gave up sugar May 1, 2023 ~ HUGE DIFFERENCE! Major change in my brain!
30 years of suffering with Bipolar. 5 years ago I started eating keto. After a couple of months I was able to wean off all drugs. No sign of mental illness since then! Im so happy now ! It’s unbelievable!❤
I didn't even realize my mood had been depressed, until it no longer was. Within 2 weeks of slashing the carbs, my mind was clearer, and I suddenly had a more positive outlook.
Picture it: It's minus degrees and snowing outside here in Germany and I am sitting here listening, cuddled up on the sofa with a large mug of steaming hot buttered coffee. Mmm, mental health bliss! Thanks for ALL the fabulous information you bring, Docs! x
Dr Berry. Thank you for bringing Dr Palmer on to share his wisdom along with yours. You both are truly gifts to humanity for our healing and well being❤❤
80/20 High fat ketovore was the game changer. Upping my fat gave me a sense of peace I'm not sure I've experienced before (without the help of meditation or drugs.) PTSD, Depression, Brain Fog all lifted. It also improved my sleep after being on high protein, fairly high fat for over a year. It also finally ended intense sugar cravings.
You don't have to get it from animal fats there's plenty of healthy fats from avocados coconut spurlina vegan omega 3 fatty acids from flax seeds hemp seeds Chia seeds
@@bcbro142 Is that your experience? It's my experience that vegan fats don't come close to animal fats. Coconut oil is probably the closest.
@@karene9446 The vegan diet doesn't always work for everybody but avocado fats and coconut are amazing fats and they definitely help the brain and the spirulina or algae are definitely good for the brain also
I'm curious as to whether or not your cholesterol raised if you don't mind me asking. Ty in advance.
@@bcbro142 Actually, no. Fats from avocados and other seed/fruit oils do not heal our hormone health. Only animal fats promote hormonal healing, which in turn improves physical and mental health. See Dr. Elizabeth Bright for more on this.
I started carnivore roughly 1 month ago. I did so after going through a very dark depression, borderline suicidal. I can say with all confidence that after only a week of overhauling my diet, my depression disappeared, along with so many other mental and physical issues. I feel 20 years younger after only a month.
Were you mostly eating red meat, or all kinds of meat?
Keto/carnivore stopped my seizures. I reacted to all medications prescribed by Doctor. So glad I found low carb.
I have depression stimming from Chronic Pain Syndrome and the neuropathy that causes the pain. Every time I have gone to a mental health provider I have told them I want tools, not meds... Every time they tell me "ok," and every time, after a few sessions, they try to write me a prescription. It's infuriating. I was recently diagnosed with T2 Diabetes and began working towards changing my diet over to a Ketovore diet. Four weeks into it my mood and how I feel has done a complete 180. Thank you! I'm still a work in progress but I am bounds beyond what I have been for the last 20 years! I have lost about 15 lbs so far and my fasting levels are down from the upper 300's to between 100 and 110. A1C was 10.1. Will find out tomorrow what it's at after the past 4 weeks. Will come back and post it.
Edit: Happy Birthday Dr. Berry!
SO happy for you!!!
@@erinmariebaker712 Thank you!
👏👏👏👏👏
Well, I appear to have had my expectations too high... But my doctor said that I still had done really well. ( I am taking her word for it, since I have no frame of reference as to what is typical and what is atypical progress. If my doc is fluffing me on this, please let me know, hehe. I am trusting her word and experience on this.)
My A1C down from the 10.1 to 9.0 in just a shade less than four weeks, and it is in those four weeks that I have been changing my lifestyle and diet choices over to a PHD one.
For reference, the blood draw for the latest test was done a week ago, and in the last week my average number for my blood glucose for the days since they did that last blood draw is at a 115mg/dl (down from the 380mg/dl it was on the first set of lab work four weeks ago.) Set to test the A1C again in 3 months, as well as a full diabetic blood panel workup then.
It's hard work but I am ready to tackle it, especially with help from Dr. Berry and this awesome community.
At my 6week follow up that happened on 12/23 my A1C further dropped to a 7.1. My doctor is amazed at my progress. Gonna keep at it for sure. Thanks again Dr. Berry! And a big thanks to the Ketovore/Carnivore community!
Since I have started ketovore, I can really feel the difference in my overall health. So many aches and pains have disappeared. And I was able to stop taking buspar several weeks ago. I feel so much more better without all the anxiety. This is the best way to eat.
Awesome!
Anxiety and depression are GONE. Confidence and clear thinking greatly improved.
High fat, mostly carnivore diet has helped me in more ways than one.. I now try to share this with those who’ve ears to listen.. thank you both so much for the work you do🙏
What about cheeseburgers ?
Hold the bun, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle, ketchup and mustard
Same here 😊
@@matthewhowatt218just no bun for me. The extras are fine for me - as long as it’s moderate and I have plenty of fat either before or after the meal :)
After I switched to keto, I no longer feel the need to check and recheck my front door to insure that it is locked before I go to sleep.
huge win!
Yeah on keto my OCD symptoms diminish totally or almost totally.
👏👍
@@NariKims How severe were your symptoms before?
@@TheMelissaWasHere At my worst I'd spend hours a day constantly obsessively checking things. 😅
For so many years I had the diagnosis of depression. I kept tell the Dr I wasn’t sad just tired all the time. It was my thyroid
My two favorite online doctors in one video? Wow!!! I appreciate how both of you are helping to set people free from their physical and psychological prisons. You are briding the gap between the mind and body, and the bridge seems to be metabolic in nature. Keep going strong, both of ya's!!
Dr.Palmer ...I wish you were my doctor! ..you are so real, down to earth, inteligent, and caring! God bless! Ive lost my whole life to this disease...I wish there was a clinic I could stay at to get help with keto until Im well....Im alone and disabled ..do my best but not able to do good enough
As a mental health therapist this chat was so refreshing. I cannot wait to receive Dr. Palmer's book. I have been regularly speaking with my clients about the importance of diet and exercise in helping to manage their symptoms since I discovered Dr. Berry and began researching the massive benefits of keto/ketovore. Excellent excellent excellent video!!
I started a carnivore style of eating in September of 2020 to get my pandemic appetite under control and help my metabolic health. After several months, I realized that my depression had lifted, my anxiety had calmed down and my PTSD was put into remission, never to return. I have never looked back. I was not on any medications, but I had full on, paralyzing flashbacks on a regular basis. Haven't had a problem now in over 2 years. No food is worth returning to that.
I took Wellbutrin for YEARS...now that I'm Ketovore/Carnivore I no longer have to take it...also my energy level is dramatically improved
How did you wean off Wellbutrin?
Per my doctor's instructions....very slowly started reducing the pill...wait a week or two...then reduce the pill some more
@@jessicabates2649 what was total time til completely off? Months? Weeks? I appreciate your answer. I’m curious.
@Christine Faye Goolsby, RRT, PA 2-3 months...by doing it this way I experienced no withdrawal symptoms
@@jessicabates2649 thank you.
A lot of psychiatrists, psychologists and therapists in California seem anti-religious. I'm glad you mentioned that faith can help.
That is my observation as well. Interestingly, those like Dr. Peter Breggin, a psychiatrist, are not like that and have compassion for their patients.
Can confirm, am ASD as are 2 of my 3 adopted children. (The 3rd has acute ADHD/OCD) Have us all on a high protein diet, supplementing with NAC for the irritability, improvement is statistically significant. Recovery is not only possible it's probable.
love how you phrased that
@@Julia_Berrrlin thx friend!
I 've adored this psychiatrist. As a clinical doctor I've almost never seen a mental health expert lookind into laboratory results of their patients. Thyroid dysfunctions are so often a cause of temporary and reversible mental disorders , yet they seem to ignore it. I also enjoyed him mentioning aspects as hypo/hyper methylation, little to not at all known to fellow practitioners. It's a relief and hope and joy to be watching these great podcasts. Thank you Dr.Berry, for being commited on changing global health!
Dr Palmer is right about addiction to the meds. Have been trying to get my child off these meds for years. We were never told it was addictive
after 21 years, when i was getting off a high dose cocktail of opioids in 2017 (used for chronic pain secondary to Ehlers Danlos Syndrome), I was already paleo keto. not ingesting sugar, gluten and dairy helped to some degree with withdrawal b/c i didn't substitute one drug for another. And eating high protein, high fat helped my brain heal during withdrawal as best as it ever will. I essentially followed a similar protocol to those who have TBIs b/c I basically had a chemically induced brain injury. Going carnivore helped with PAWS which went on for about 3 years for me, and even the sugars from nuts and green veges (low carb veg), triggered opioid cravings. cutting out artificial sweeteners also helped tremendously. It's actually what helped me get rid of PAWs finally.
I am now left with intestinal visceral hypersensitivity which causes excruciating cramping and pain when I ingest fiber. 5 years later i am still dairy free carni. and doing fairly well considering the permanent hypothalamic and pituitary damage i am left with.
carni has saved my life...managed my joint and intestinal pain... helped to heal my brain to some degree...and given me the energy and strength to now be addicted to exercise to manage my pain...which is an addiction i will gladly take for life...
Hi Nilima, my sister had stage 1 colon cancer of which they cut out. This was in 2014. Recent colonostomies have shown no recurrence. I see my sister deal with severe abdominal pain that the doctor can't figure out. It is more in the mid abdominal area so I'm wondering if intestinal visceral hypersensitivity is what she has as they continue to prescribe fiber for her. I'm going to research this and talk to her doctor. Thank- you so much for sharing!
I wasn't expecting him to be so crass. I love it! Doc's Ken's snark and his profane mouth are a great combo.
With keto diet and gluten free diet I have quitted my thyroid med (synthroid) that I took it for 8 years , synthroid gave me high blood pressure, diabetes , hot flashes , kidney failure, I didn’t have one of these symptoms, I quitted by myself because these conventional doctors didn’t believe in my diet , thank you dr berry and other great doctors who are taking their time to educate all people 🙏🙏😊😊
I've had an atypical Fibromyalgia diagnosis for decades and had been on Lyrica (anti-epileptic) and Savella (an SSRI - an upper) with a minor amount of depression due to living in pain. What I really have was being compound heterozygous MTHFR (and a few other dirty genes). I went moderately low carb to keto to ketovore with methylated folate and cobalamin with occasional muscle relaxer. It turns out that I don't take in much folate (spinach) and cannot metabolize fake folic acid (all purpose flour) such that I cannot create GABA (inhibitory neurotransmitter - shut down pain) which also controls muscle spasms. No more fibromyalgia, not much pain, not much muscle spasms, no living in constant pain and a far better outlook on life without the carbs.
spinach is high in oxalates and any vitamins/minerals are poorly absorbed when we try to get them from plants. So glad to know you´re feeling so much better without unnecessary carbs. 🙂
@@Terri_2.0 Thanks! Stopped the year round bitter greens and almond flour once I learned about oxalates.
Thanks to both doctors for this video, and the one you did 6 months ago. I have only just watched them. I suffer severely and feel more hopeful hearing these videos.
I would love to see y'all open a hospital that treats mental health disorders with the proper human diet.
I am a Vet and left for over 33 years undigested for celiacs. Which flared up I fill due to PTSD.
Me too...I'd be there! I'm desperate.
I swear, Dr. Berry, you ALWAYS NAIL IT in what I’m going through!
Recently, I stalled on Keto and went off the deep end.
I walked into work and immediately became triggered on a simple issue, I knew I was overreacting and felt embarrassed and apologized and split quickly to my assigned areas which is away from my central office.
I am at a cross-road as it seems to be the change of season that changes my appetite or actually lose my appetite and I reach for non healthy crap, then im triggered by anxiety and feel heavy emotions of defensiveness again. Then anger from it because I know what’s happening in my body is triggered by the crap I recently consumed.
It makes me so perplexed as the others in my orbit seem to not act out with hostility and their diet is REALLY bad. But for me, I go off the deep end from some cake.
Hi Doctor, just one more thing (at 1:24), lack of enough funds is the biggest factor, at least for me, for not having better Healthcare overall. I believe many people can relate.
Keto ( and omad) helps really controll impulsive behaviour. I guess it has to do with increasing dopamine ? I had comparesment. I used bupropione ( what is stimulatant )in order to quit smoking. It also improve mood and helps control cravings and impulsive behaviour. On keto I feel like on wellbutrin without any pills. It's like " you are in full control of your emotions "
I'm one of the many you saved, Doc. A lifetime of gratitude to you. And I tell anyone to discover a better, healthier, and happier life! Genuine Carnivore here!
At the age of 37, after having to battle chronic depression, adhd, binging on alcohol periodically, anxiety, insomnia and general disability due to mental health problems for 20 years..I had completely lost hope that i was ever going to get better and decided it was my fate and i just needed to survive on a combination of various drugs until my last breath without any meaningful life purpose, a family of my own and a career... Then. I went Keto. And I was reborn in every way you can think of. And its been less than a year. People. Wake up and claim your health and life.❤❤
Things I do in addition to keto:
45 min brisk walking 6 days a week
Staying away from packaged "keto" snacks
Taking Vit D3K2, Omega3, CoQ10 and B12 as supplements
Getting out of my apt at least once a day (i work from home)
Lift weights 2 times a week, small reps nothing big
I'm getting Dr. Palmer's book on audio. I love to listen to books instead of the radio while I'm driving. This is some really good stuff! Love you and thank you, both!
Excellent interview - thank you so much - i was looking for confirmation that a keto/carnivore diet would help my mentally ill friend and i got it. 🌷🌷
The book is incredible. Well written. Makes so much sense. Yet my psychiatrist says diet doesn't matter.
Incredible for sure.
If food doesn’t effect you via ingesting and getting nutrients why would we get “nutrients “ from a prescription if eating has nothing to do with health
Off medications i took for 35 years for depression and panic attack, insomnia too. Ketogenic diet healed me. Depression since childhood . Gone.
Hello, i need your help
@@nargiza181 yes
I love listening to Dr Palmer. Always eye opening information.
I am so grateful I came across this. Thank you Dr. Berry and Dr. Palmer. Just ordered Dr. Palmers book. Can’t wait to improve my health.
It took me over a year to get off Lyrica. My doctor prescribed for me 10 mg capsules (compounded) and I went down by 10 mg a month. It took forever but it was the best way to wean down.
I've been diagnosed with dysthymia, dysphoria and basic clinical depression alternately, and I've actually coped for the last 7 years better off meds and therapy than on anything
Dr. Chris Palmer has the best spontaneous laughter in the world!
He should be in all of the podcasts and the world would laugh more, with him.
I am terrified to stop my psych meds which I did do once for 8 years and drank like a fish. I have changed my diet to beef, butter, bacon and eggs with intermittent fasting and lost 25 pounds. Mt depression goes back to my kid years. I do want to get off my meds and will make an effort to do so in January.
I was on Effexor and that is what I did. I spent about four to six months taking the beads out I did about 5 beads out week until the last few weeks and then it was about 2 beads out. It was painstaking but one time before that my allergist said I needed to stop ALL meds and he specifically said that too, in order to take a test. I had two weeks to come off it so I went to half dose for one week then stopped completely and I was so sick and throwing up it was awful. Therefore, I knew how sick I would be if I didn't come off it slowly so I took my time and I am so glad I'm off it now.
Your allergist tried to kill you . He/she is not very smart.
@@janeteddddd Yeah, I also felt like my GP doctor let me down when he let me come off it like that too, he should have known better as well. I was left feeling like neither of them had my best interest in mind. Looking back I should have questioned them more too since I'd had that test before and didn't have to come off any prescription meds.
Brain Energy is a MUST read. Amazing information.
I just commented but I have to say I have been taking Oxecone for my back for 8 years if not more for the first time ever I am coming down on my pain meds and hope to be off them all together soon. Thank you Keto
Just wanted to send my appreciation to you 2! 💗. I missed the live..Ordered the book! I Suffer from depression. Have been mostly carnivore for 8 months...meat, salt ,& water is just fine with me! Sometimes a little veg....I've lost 30lbs. Just want a little more mental clarity & off meds!
It is courageous when we allow our love and passion to take us beyond our beliefs…
Social conditionings/narratives is a beast!..
The worst that can happen are the stories we tell ourselves...
This awesome video reminded me of something I heard somewhere long ago.
So many professionals in the psychiatric field are paid for “what they know” instead of providing results for others through what they do with “what they know”
Rx has its place in the health community. People forget that before modern pills there were natural herbs from Mother Nature that were used to treat ailments. Mid 2020 I lost one of my beloved dogs to cancer. I called up the Apothecary, which I call my pharmacy, and had a personalized grief tincture made.
Happy Happy Birthday DR BERRY !What a wonderful present to yourself gaining all this new eye opening wisdom from another DR that totally gets it ! Sharing this to loved ones and strangers is happening
When exactly is his Birthday? Have a Lovely Christmas...
I just seen it was streamed on 10th (3 days before mine - He is a Sagi !!!)
McLean Hospital patient, MDD (definitely treatment resistant depression) received several ECT treatments to stop suicidal attempts. 5% chance it will actually harm your brain forever. It did stop my urge to harm myself, but severely broke my memory & some skills. Still have my MDD, to date, and seriously praying that ketogenic life will help my brain. On month 4 !! Family says, they see small changes, which i don't, but thats ok, not giving up. Can't afford the book yet, but watch every Dr.Chris Palmer video I can. (Since he works with McLean)
Happy birthday Dr Berry 🎊 🎉 many happy returns . You have changed my life .thank you .
I had to do "cold turkey" for over 20 years of prescribed, never abused, "benzo's" & "antidepressants". The tolerance, dependency and rebound symptoms had become unbearable. I did "taper" off but at some point had to "cut the cord" and go through withdrawal. The acute anxiety only lasted a few days and gradually resolved, but the depression lasted for months. My "professional" help was in no wise interested in anything but increasing dosages or trying a different, stronger medication. Even after leaving my psyche meds behind, I continued getting Rx's of similar medications for neuropathic pain. It didn't take long to determine that pain was preferable to dependency.
Love Dr. Palmer and his merry and infectious chuckles!
🤗💛🤍❤
Thank you sir!’ Feel like I’m not alone !
A Very Happy Birthday Dr.Berry! Many Blessings🎉
Happy Birthday Dr. Berry! Thank you for your wisdom in health. Thank you both for your wisdom and your encouragement to our health. Have a blessed evening.

Happy, happy Birthday Dr. Berry❤🎉😢🍰keto/carnivore of course…. Thank you for informing us and all your time and the guests you bring on your show…. From the bottom of my heart…. Thank you!
Another comment, this interview was very enlightening, like so many of your chats. Changing our health and world every day.
Doc, we love you back!
That was extremely interesting and helpful. Thanks so much for having him on and discussing this important topic ! I have terrible neuropathy, not diabetic or alcoholic, my doctor insists antidepressants is the way to go. I have respectfully resisted and im so happy I have even tho I would love a cure or pain relief for my small nerve fiber peripheral neuropathy.
Look in to BEMER Therapy! If you would like more information I can direct you.
@@teresayoung1138 i will look into that, thanks for the suggestion.
Have had severe depression since I was 20. Finally, A Dr. Put me on MAOs. Within 10 days I was a different person. My depression/ADD is also genetic. I flunked out of college, but by Spring I was better, but my grades were terrible. So, I went to work and got married. Depression kept returning. It was the Mao's that made the difference. I was dx with ADD when I was 40. I had been working as a computer programmer for the state of Florida and thought I was doing a good job and my department manager fired me and I never really understood why. When I told my father, p he suggested I go get tested for learning disability. I was missing bits and pieces of conversations and sometimes took me much longer to write programs. Unfortunately, 2 yrs later the MAO just suddenly stopped working after 12 yrs . So after these crazy psychiatrists put me on mood stabilizers until I could start a new antidepressant I got worse. The SSRI did not work and I went back to my old psychiatrist with the idea of combining a tricyclic and another type of antidepressant. I can't remember what he put me on but I ended up on a effexor. I went back to college and got two masters degrees in two different areas of mental Health studying attention deficit disorder in women / adults. I graduated with a 3.8 average in both Masters, but I worked my butt off for them. During that time the effects was losing its effects and a new psychiatrist put me on Wellbutrin XL 450 mg. I've been on this drug for 20 years and p there is nothing out there that is affordable that will work for me. My house was destroyed by Hurricane Michael and like a lot of people the insurance company did not come through. My little condo was paid for. My daddy bought it for me because he always wanted me to have a roof over my head. It's like he could see in the future what was going to happen. So I stayed strong and tried to do the right things, but so much had happened to me. I guess the hurricane was the final straw. I had chronic pain from standing, fibromyalgia, add I'm working for $11 an hour in retail. So I woke up and my whole body was on fire and my boss suggested I take a leave of absence. I collapsed into bed, did EMT and got on pain meds. I think it helped. I know I couldn't tell a difference when I was off the Wellbutrin. When I got back on the Wellbutrin I got better but still having problems getting out of bed. What is wrong with these damn psychiatrists. When I tell my psychiatrist or whoever I talk to there that I can't get out of bed and they can't figure it out I question his ability as a doctor in psychiatrist. For the past year and a half I have no motivation to do anything. It's hard for me to even take my dog out. Dear God somebody please help me. I live in a retirement high-rise with people that are sitting around waiting to die. I figured that if I don't find it answer I'm just going to become another statistic
Sally H. Is there a psychiatrist or Dr somewhere in Tallahassee or anywhere who can help me? I've definitely been working on the carnivore diet because of the IBS etc. But I feel like these doctors just stare at you with this dumbfounded look. I do try to go to work and stand for 5 to 6 hours. But the only thing that's keeping me alive is my little dog.
I don't want to live like this with no hope. My family is horrible to me and I really don't have any friends anymore. I'm not having a pity party. I just don't want to live anymore.
@@sallyhanson8317 it must be really hard for you living what you describe as a half life. Perhaps try BBBE (bacon,beef, butter and eggs) version of carnivore for 30 days. I’m certain that if you persevere with carnivore you will get better and highly likely even get of the medications, it could just be slower for you as the body needs time to heal and reset itself.
There are many professionals, who promote this WOE, online to follow and reading the comments confirms how successful this WOE really is.
Thanks, Dr Berry and Dr Palmer, for sharing this very informative video.
Very sad situation..yes ..heartbreaking 😢
I downloaded Brain Energy on Audible before I got 5 minutes into this video. This is such important information. Thank you both for what you do!
Eat carnivore helped me quit alcohol. Could not have done it otherwise
👏👏👏👏👏👏💞
