    Nurse practitioner here. I work with CKD and dialysis patients. Talk about a sick bunch of patients with multiple medical issues. I do my best to point my patients toward a low carb diet to prevent my CKD patients from needing dialysis and the dialysis patients can be healthier and qualify for transplant. Keep preaching. You’re saving lives, Dr. Berry, Dr. Fung, and the entire Diet Doctor team.

      What about the development of an acidosis condition from eating an animal based diet? Isn't that also going to create an additional burden on the kidneys?
      Then there is the microbiome issue. Low fiber could cause dysbiosis in the microbiome? Need to feed the microbiome or there will certainly be issues down the road.

    When my doctor said, "great! looks like your meds are working". I responded, "I never took them". He looked puzzled and paused. I said, "I changed the way I eat and only eat low carb". He said hesitantly, "well, keepdoing what you're doing" I didn't have the boldness to tell him that I'm eating carnivore.

    I saw Dr Atkins when I was living temporarily near NYC about 2003 when I was a young 35. He was NOT overweight for the record and through his advice was in the best shape of my life . I remember the lies used to smear him, especially after he died from a hard fall on the ice (I remember the ice storm) He was a pioneer and a personal hero of mine.

He was overweight when he died due to water retention from massive amounts of steroids used to try to heal his brain. He was ahead of his time.

      I think Dr. Atkins was on the right track in 1972 and brought low carb to the publics atention. But I don't think the original Dr. Atins diet is where most of us have ended up today. And there were others who championed a low carb diet ;ong before Atkins. But for some reason they didn't get the recognition that he did. I think it was probably timing.

    You’re very correct when you say that some people just need the Carnivore diet. I’ve eaten Keto for several years, but sill had a weight struggle and arthritic pain. I’ve worked out for 12 years, so exercise wasn’t lacking. I’ll be 74 in April and am still working out and walking, but the weight thing had become very discouraging. In the past month, I’d realized I was one of the people who had to stay under 10 grams of carbohydrates per day. I prayed and asked God to lead me to what I needed to do. Last week I discovered Carnivore, researched it a bit, and went right into it. I’ve been eating this way for less than a week, I adore the diet, and the weight is literally melting away! My husband, 76 in March, decided to do it too. His BP normalized in a couple of days! I expect we’ll get better by the day and I thank God for you! (I was an RN.) Carol

      @royczak I believe he has covered this on his channel. I am assuming that you went keto and have your carbs under 50 grams per day?
      The cholesterol heart hypothesis was founded on a set of statistical manipulations from Ansel Keyes in the 1950's. That hypothesis has been revealed to be practically meaningless. Even Mr. Keyes recanted on his dietary recommendations before his death.
      Total cholesterol, by itself, doesn't really indicate anything. Even if you buy into this cholesterol hypothesis; you need to look at the ratio of HDL to LDL and triglycerides.
      If you are concerned about CVD, I recommend checking out videos on youtube by Ivor Cummins. If you are in your 50's, and you have this concern, I would suggest you seek out a local center that provides a CAC score, on a cash basis. The coronary artery calcium score is not the standard of care, but is the only test that will provide you with a baseline of the actual condition of your coronary arteries as they are today. If you shop around by phone, you should be able to find this service for under $100.00 cash.
      Aside from a diet free from processed foods and fake foods, routine moderate exercise is the next best thing for your body.
      There is a very strong correlation between high blood sugar and CVD. It is worth getting your A1C tested in your next physical exam. It should be under 5.5 or so. If you are insulin resistant, you need to know it. There are no symptoms of this condition. Type 2 Diabetes develops silently, and the symptoms are frequently missed by md's.
      Are you happy with your weight? Being pear shaped, and having large deposits of adipose tissue around the belly or waist tend to correlate with insulin resistance and CVD. Generally, if your waist size is less than 1/2 of your height in inches, then you are on target.

      Dr. Berry, I know you have shared most of these details on your own channel, but the synopsis here is the most comprehensive and memorable I have heard. The insight into how liquid dairy relates to your GERD is particularly of interest. I am curious, does RAW milk cause this problem for you? And, do you distinguish between RAW cheeses and pasteurized ones in your own diet?
      Keto and Carnivore diets for autoimmune conditions such as hashimoto's is a fascinating subject. The causal linkages elude me, but in my case, my allergies are radically diminished, and my osteoarthritis has halted it's progression. It is pretty miraculous in this regard.

      Instead, get a ctscan of your arteries. Or a CAC or something similar. I believe it's a score. Then every 6 months, get that score checked. Did it go up? Did it stay the same? Did it go down? The real cause of plaque in arteries is sugar. The higher your blood glucose levels, the more damage it does to your arterial walls, the more cholesterol will go the the area of damage, and use calcium (plaque) to repair the damage.

    My cardiologist wasn't lying to me regarding my high blood pressure, he just didn't know what was causing it, nor did he care. Meds were his answer. I found this unacceptable, and fired him, so to speak. On my own, I had to determine what the problem was. Diet was the issue, and sugar was the culprit. I eliminated all sugar, and cut way back on grains. With my insulin under control, my BP came down to normal range. No meds whatsoever. My former doctor would have had me on drugs for the rest if my life. 40 years of chemicals in my body? No thanks. The Internet has its benefits ; ).

    This brought me to tears! I've been "compliant" with doc's orders for YEARS! To the extreme in fact. Jogging an hour a day, 1200 calories of fruits/veggies/grains a day. COULDN'T LOSE WEIGHT. Diagnosed with Hashimoto's two yrs ago (Levo prescribed), extreme clinical depression (SSRI's prescribed), extremely high cholesterol (more meds), psoriasis/psoriatic arthritis (topical & methotrexate injections), heel spurs/plantar fasciitis (injections), daily hives & frequent full force allergic reactions(just had to live with it cuz doc couldn't even explain it), brain fog, bad gut/body inflammation, CHRONIC FATIGUE AND Strong Iron & Vitamin D scripts (although I work outdoors everday!!!....Yet I was getting sicker & feeling worse while being "COMPLIANT" and trusting of doc's orders(not to mention the oxy scripts for EXTREME joint & psoriasis & foot pain) and horrible daily constipation.
    Fast forward to today...Once I incorporated carnivore/ketovore AND Strength training/weight lifting into my daily life(no more jogging), I'm a brand new person! NO MORE MILK, Or grains....The weight fell off, muscle gained, joint pain/psoriasis almost gone, brain fog/depression GONE! Hashimoto's meds down to 25 mcg daily (TSH 0.5) No more t3 meds, antibodies almost gone, foot pain/inflammation almost non-existent, bad cholesterol way down, NO MORE SSRI's NO MORE PAIN MEDS!!! NO MORE DANGEROUS METHO INJECTIONS OR POINTLESS TOPICALS...Much more mental clarity, no more allergic reactions Occasional hives (from a little dairy now & then).
    THE ENTIRE MEDICAL COMMUNITY HAS TO BE COMPLETELY RE-EDUCATED and The pharmaceuticals to treat symptoms of diseases needs to be eliminated. The focus on diet should be at the top of the priority list for good health and doctor's orders! My rheumatologist literally said "diet has nothing to do with psoriasis/psoriatic arthritis!!! My endocrinologist LITERALLY says "diet has nothing to do with thyroid/hypothyroidism/hashimoto's markers" and my favorite "there's no point in checking your Hashimoto's antibodies, only your tsh will tell us what we need to know" I was blown away by these statements and proved both doctors wrong and I no longer go to these doctors! Never again!!! GOOD HEALTH ABSOLUTELY BEGINS WITH OUR FIET AND OUR MUSCLE MASS AND OUR STRESS LEVELS IN DAILY LIFE

    • @Jefferdaughter
      @Jefferdaughter 5 років тому +12

      Yes, the gallbladder does not make the bile that helps digest fats. The gallbladder stores bile, which is squeezed out when a high-fat meal is consumed. When people avoid eating much fat for a long time, the bile sits in the gallbladder and begins to solidify, making gallstones. In spite of what physicians have been taught, and tell the people who hire them (aka 'patients'), gallstones are caused by low-fat diets. Dr. Paul Mason, at 22:33 explains: ua-cam.com/video/5nC-F5_cx64/v-deo.html

    Great interview. I'm a 55-year-old male who has suffered chronic gut pain and skin issues. The carnivore diet and drinking just water is simple and tasty, but you really need a medical reason to keep up the diet - good health or gut pain/skin rashes that burn, itch and take weeks to heal. I will choose the carnivore diet any day. I only eat 2x/day. My teeth and gums are much better too, as well as my cognitive health. I am much calmer and relaxed. I am afraid to deviate from it because I feel so much better. I wish I learned about the carnivore diet much earlier in my life.

    "Whatever you're doing, keep it up" - that statement always infuriated me. Why is it never "What are you doing? Tell me about it". Somehow curiosity is trained out of doctors, and I suspect that ego plays a huge part in this. God bless the good doctors like Drs. Sher, Berry, Bosworth, Berg, Ekberg and others whose warrior spirits are making tangible benefits toward reversing the horrendous medical advice we've all received in the last fifty or so years.

Which inhibits your ability to observe, absorb new information from your patient. She is licensed and patients can not be of any value because they are without any credentials.

    I did not personally hear this my self, but my sister said that our mother said, while she was lying on her death bed from cancer, "Finally, I'm not hungry anymore". If that's not something to think about I don't know what is. She followed all the rules the doctors put out for her, she was always trying the newest Weight Watchers program, she even tried Nutrisystem, which worked way too fast, but she couldn't maintain, and it ultimately made her sick, and made her hate how she looked. Now I understand why she was hungry, and I wonder if she had been told how to eat to satisfy her hunger if she might have avoided cancer all together, and still be alive today.

I have suffered Severe Gastritis for 30 plus years and was taking 60 mgs a day for it.. NO More .. I will NEVER again eat sugar or Grains because I found that doing so ACTIVATES my symptoms .. So, You are my current Favorite Doctor ,, I threw the Calories out the window and eat mainly Meat, Eggs and Butter , very few greens and berries., but, over-all, I will stay on this the rest of my life .. By the way I will be 66 years of age on the 3rd of January 2020 and I am looking Forward to this next year because this past year started my Keto Journey and now I am gonna just Live it!

    • @Jefferdaughter
      @Jefferdaughter 5 років тому +5

      YES! However, Dr. Berry is unaware that milk and milk-based foods have been in the human diet far, far longer than imagined. Obviously, all humans started out with milk a their sole food. Breast milk was likely a very important part of the diet of human for years after birth. Also, other animal species DO consume milk whenever they can get it. When predators kill a lactating animal, the first thing they consume is the udder with the milk inside. Even before they eat the liver, or other viscera.
      (This is probably the origin of at least some of the stories about 'aliens' 'mutilating' cattle. )
      Farm animal like swine and poultry will readily consume milk, and do not have to 'learn' to like it. Even free-range pigs/hogs and poultry, not just confined animals. Milk-fed, or buttermilk, and/or whey-fed pork used to be a specialty of certain countries or regions, and was famous for its quality. The hams were shipped all over the world at premium prices.
      When going for record high production from dairy animals, milk was not uncommonly fed back to goats and cows, especially when the value or prestige of having a record-holding dairy animal, or a breed leader in milk production exceeded the market value of that milk.
      Even more than other predators, early humans targeted not the old and sick animals, but the 'fat and sassy' animals in the herd - which were typically females, often lactating. While milk production peaks a few months after their young is born, animals like cattle and horses continue to produce modest amounts of milk and allow their young to nurse for nearly a year, sometimes until just before they deliver their next offspring. Early humans co-operated to run entire herd of animals over cliffs, or into gullies, canyons, deep mud, etc. it is difficult to single out one animal from a herd, but astonishingly easy to move an entire herd together. The people of the Andean highlands still round up vicuna this way, with everyone, including young children and babes in arms, helping to herd the animals into ancient stone corrals in what they call the chaccu.
      Herding cultures domesticated animals long before most anthropologists or archeologist are aware. They tend to think that this occurred after the relatively widespread cultivation of crops began, when artifacts show animal being used to plow or pull carts. Yet it is a small step from following the herds, as early humans were known to do, to herding. In terms of artifacts and the affects of diet on human skeletal remains, the difference would be slight or non-existent.
      While there are some differences in the milk of different species, milk is more alike than different. Human milk is higher in lactose than cow's milk, and is more similar to mare's milk in that way. In addition to cattle and horses, the milk of reindeer, goats, sheep, camels, yaks, and water buffalo is still being used by people. Eland (a large African antelope) and moose are also milked. It is said that moose cheese is the most expensive cheese in the world. (Cheese tends to sell for far more than fluid milk, and keeps far longer.)
      Of course these people were consuming milk and milk-based foods that had not been industrially processed. Yogurt and cheese happen fairly spontaineously: fresh milk left in a warm spot 'clabbers' or becomes yogurt. We make it this way ourselves- no cooking, no added cultures. Milk carried in the stomach of a young animal (water-proof vessels were frequently made from animal parts, like wineskins mentioned in the Bible) interacted with the enzymes in the lining of the young animal's stomach, resulting in cheese.
      Most everyone who has 'lactose intolerance' has no issues when consuming fresh, unprocessed milk. Raw milk contains both naturally occurring beneficial bacteria (aka 'probiotics') and lactase, the enzyme that breaks down lactose. This also explain why few infants experience lactose intolerance when consuming their mother's milk. A breast-fed baby (the young of a human) is consuming that milk raw.
      There are a number of other differences between the white liquid sold in supermarkets and 'un-fooled around with' milk:
      - Industrial processing destroys the beneficial bacteria, aka the probiotics, as mentioned;
      - The beneficial enzymes, including lactase, are destroyed by the heat treatment.
      - The fat is reduced to 'standardized' whole milk levels of 3.25% butterfat. The milk of Jersey and other heritage cattle breeds can be as high as 5% or more. The cattle of the Masai reportedly produced milk that was around 8% butterfat.
      Even the modern commercial American Holstein will produce milk at 4% butterfat when fed a high forage diet based on pasture and other forages (hay, fermented hay).
      - The fat globules are artificially reduced in size, to prevent the cream from rising. The smaller butterfat particles can more readily cross the gut lining, especially in people with leaky gut, those who consume plants that damage the gut lining (see Dr. Paul Mason's UA-cam video on lectins), or those who consume processed foods containing emulsifiers. Emulsifiers are found in frozen foods, and also in many milk-based foods. (A dairy is a room or building where milk is handled and cheese and other milk products are made.)
      - The heat treatment of pasteurization changes the structure of the proteins in milk.
      - The vitamin content is reduced, and some vitamins naturally found in milk are damaged or completely destroyed by the pasteurization process, including Vit C.
      - The fat-soluable vitamin content is reduced three ways: 1.) By reducing the overall fat content of the milk; and 2.) the above-mentioned heat-treatment, and 3.) Industrially produced milk comes from animals fed a grain and soy-based diet, with little or no access to fresh pasture. Those grains and soy are virtually all GMO (lab created, not selected) and frequently loaded with toxic synthetic chemical residues. Nearly all raw milk produced for sale in the U.S.A. comes from small, pasture-based farms (not 1,000-10,000 cow operations).
      - Immune factors naturally present in milk are destroyed by the processing.
      - The milk from cows on pasture and especially 100% 'grassfed' cows (a grain and soy-free diet consisting only of forages) is significantly higher in Omega 3s. The levels of Omega 3 in 'grassfed' milk and milk products from the dairy, like 100% 'grassfed' meat, are high enough to make consuming oily fish unnecessary. (Dr. Paul Mason)
      NOTE: UNLIKE the Omega 3 found plants (and just a few; flax aka linseed being the most common dietary source) the Omega 3 fatty acids are in the correct form to be assimilated and used to support brain development and function.
      -
      The A1 protein found in the milk of certain cattle breeds is also an issue for some people. The A1 casien mutation is common in cows in industrial dairies, though the use of bulls that do not carry that mutation is become more widespread and and will gradually reduce the incidence of A1 milk. Most raw milk producers select cows that are A2 A2 and do not produce that altered protein.
      This protein apparently only occurs in cattle - not goats, sheep, or the other species whose milk is consumed by humans.
      Not everyone needs to consume milk or milk products. However, milk is very similar to blood, which was also a staple in the early human diet, and still is in many regions. Herding cultures developed a symbiotic relationship with the animals, protecting them from other predators. Milking them literally allowed them to 'have their cake and eat it, too'. The Masai may be best known for living primarily from the milk, blood, and meat of their cattle and goats, with only incidental if any consumption of plants, but numerous cultures around the world also relied heavily on the milk of their animals. In certain climates, including alpine regions (European Alps, Tibet), boreal forest and tundra (reindeer herders), and dry and/or cold grasslands (Mongol herders, herders of camels, sheep, and goats in North Africa, the Middle East, etc) pastoralism was the only way to survive. It is the most sustainable form of agriculture ever devised.

    I tried the whole foods plant based, LOW FAT diet for several years because I was afraid of getting heart disease like my grandpa. When I started eating this way, I was about 150 lbs and was fairly healthy. Over the next several years, I gained 45 lbs, developed super bad acid reflux to the point where I would wake up choking on stomach acid in my sleep, which eventually lead to a diagnosis of EoE and a subsequent daily PPI to turn off stomach acid. By the end of 2020, I was so sick I could barely walk, my cholesterol was 129, HDL - 39, and I was super fatigued all the time. Worst of all, the food I would eat would literally sit in my stomach for days before finally digesting. Always full, never hungry, but starving from the inside out - yet I was still 195 pounds.
    When I made the switch to a low carb high fat diet, my acid reflux issues began to resolve to the point where I was able to throw away almost a full bottle of my meds a year ago and haven't needed one since. My digestion is getting better and better every day, my energy levels are improving, and I'm more satiated with my diet than I ever was with the low fat vegan diet. I've lost a few pounds, but nothing major just yet. I can only assume my body is still working on correcting itself after going so long without much fat in my diet.
    There are still some days where I begin to panic because I'm eating more saturated fat than I have in years. The heart disease scare is real... but then I remember how my body FEELS. If I need to take a pill just to make the diet work, it ain't really working.

I had resigned myself to losing him too early simply because he is so stubborn, wanted to rely on medicine to manage his condition. He ate as he had before the first stroke. Nothing I did made an impact. His last blood work was a disaster and he has been taking his medication faithfully- I think his lightbulb went off and I sent him one of your shortest videos. FINALLY he watched it and has been on board for the past 10 days! Doesn’t seem like much, but it is huge!

    Im really glad I started watching you. Ive recently have really started taking my health importantly, upon discovering that most of the fruits and veggies have hardly enough vitamins and minerals I decided to take a different approach by using herbs which high mineral and vitamin densities in the morning, and then everything else I can supplement from a healthy diet. Basically create a structure and then build on top of. It has done absolute wonders for my health, I have so much more energy, focus, clarity, happier, and I've also dropped an enormous amount of weight this month of 15 pounds. Last night I had a smaller dinner, and I usually have a fruit smoothie in the morning, and then fast until dinner, but today I was more hungry than usual so I did not fast, I ate lunch, whole grains and I noticed that for the first time in a month I was tired and I ended taking a nap. Right before I took a nap I started watching this, and thats when I realized that carbs, which for the most part I've been staying away from this last month is the cause of my tiredness.

    Dr. Berry, I went to a diabetic dietician last Monday. I've had severe hypoglycemia, not diabetes, since I was inside my mom. She ate fake sugar, margarine, shortening, vegetable and canola oils. I was born 1979. My mom was in the no fat, no sugar minds t and she was a nurse, so she was dedicated. Yet she would make tons of baked goods and so my blood sugar would swing all over. I suffered all the hypoglycemia symptoms in lists I've found, except coma and death, my whole life. I have almost gone blind and suffered more than I can tell you here. I have had almost no hunger and lived off coffee with sugar and half and half for years because I needed to keep my blood sugar up. After my appt last Monday I began studying what she said. She didn't want me to eat high fat carnivore like I'm now doing, but she kept saying I had to eat 3 times a day and had to have protein. Somehow the vids led me to this diet. I began transitioning Monday evening and have been only high fat carnivore since 2 am Wednesday. My blood sugars have been between 93-123, usually between 101-119. So many symptoms are already going away. I've had no sugars, carbs or plant foods since starting Wednesday morning. I took a ketone test Thursday and was at 15. Friday ketones were 40. Will take another later today. I am so appreciating your vids. I am a hard core conspiracy theorist realist on Facebook and a narcissism coach oh TikTok. I have a mom who is a nurse, so is my aunt, my brother in law was a doctor but he died 2020. My exes aunt was a nurse. I grew up having multiple family friends who were doctors and their kids, my age became doctors. My sister in law is a nurse practitioner. I would talk to them about my health problems and they all said the same things that didn't work. I e tried so many quality diets some high protein, some balanced, even raw plant food vegetarian. It only worked for a couple weeks then I would get sick and weightless plateaus and many health issues plus exhaustion. Ive even taken 22 homeopathic supplements costing $3,000 for a year and no matter what, even if I would lose 20 pounds, nothing ever keto working and I would gain more back than I lost. I got pneumonia years ago and lost my appetite and never got it back, but now am finally having hunger for the steak, eggs and butter Ive been eating. I have been told I have abdominal lipoma under my skin. Can this help shrink those? Will "Exipure" help me lose the lipoma without surgery? What about natural food based ways to get the right electrolytes, vitamins and nutrients? I have a theory, that plant based, sugar carb dependent diets require aerobics types of exercise. But I wonder if high fat carnivore is better with strength building muscle training??? I think walks or jogs might be good too, but I used to do aerobics to try to lose and it always exhausts me but doesn't make me lose weight. I wonder if aerobic is sugar fuel based. I wonder if muscle building is fat carnivore based. I am a conspiracy realist a out many subjects, so I immediately understood the food conspiracy as y'all carnivores were talking in your vids and you're spot on. I see it. I'm all in. I have little to no sugar cravings now and I got to the point of hating sugar and carbs because I was so dependent on them day and night my whole life. So I don't miss them. I'm completely relieved I don't have to eat them. I am also wondering, how do we know if we have a kidney problem or if this is being hard on our kidneys. I was in hospital Feb 28- Mar 2 with sepsis, urinary Tract infection, infected bladder then kidney then blood. My left kidney has been sore the whole time and I can't get a doctor to look into it for me. What can I do and how can I know if it's ok or damaged?

All that I read pointed to sugar & wheat products as the biggest offenders (& processed food in general,) so I immediately quit both and saw my health noticeably improve in a week. Within months all of my issues had disappeared! Fast forward, and I've gotten granular about ingredients and food sourcing. Seed oils ARE as toxic as sugar! And if preservatives and colorants are in it, it shouldn't be in your mouth! Grass-fed/finished and pasture raised should be watchwords. Let food be they medicine and BE your own best doctor!

I've went into what I call remission from T2 Diabetes, no more arthritic pains, lost 30 lbs, now at 113, 5'2", workout at gym 3 x per week, walk at least 30 minutes 5 out of 7 days a week, sometimes every day. I don't remember ever in my life have more muscle, strength or feeling better. Good thing because 5 months ago I decided to do a slow taper off a Benzodiazapine that was prescribed and if it weren't for low carb, I believe I would be suffering more withdrawal symptoms, and not breezing through this taper so well, thank you Dr. Berry and Bret as well, 2 of my fave people. Thank God I can listen to you online because we just don't have the "right" kind of doctors in my town :( But I rarely need them ;) Only go for labs, that's it ;)
