I was hospitalized for a surgery and was talking to an older RN and we were discussing diets. I brought up Paleo/Keto and suggested how it remedies many afflictions. I posed the question to her why the medical profession doesn't investigate the possibility of Paleo/Keto. She leaned over, smiled and said: "Honey, there is no profit in cure."
Healthcare as we know is sick care. Prior to my qualifying for medicare, my Cadillac care insurance coverage, although I had been overweight for years, did not cover any wellness care related to exercise, diet and nutrition. I wish that I could have all of those insurance premiums back that I paid for about 30 years.
@@kathytittle I am a semi-retired RN and have a very good bariatric nutrition physician that I have seen over the past 3 years and consistent with the keto way of life. I am down 70 lbs as well. My HBA1C is 5.
Correct response from a wise nurse! As a 40 year RN career I wish I had known and I would have shared the truth as well! Dr Berry and many brave doctors are paving a way for truth! Our food is killing us!
@@pegboyd4312 I had an endocrinologist (who I was hoping would handle my TRT) take a look at my bloodwork after 6 months of low carb and IF. Despite the fact that my trigycerides had gone down fom 162 to 70, my fasting insulin had dropped to 4.1, my HDL doubled to 60, and my fasting glucose was near 95... she immediately "threatened" me with statins if I didn't stop eating the way I was. Needless to say she didn't remain my endocrinologist.
Dr. Berry, in the past admits he gave the wrong nutritional advice and harmed many patients. It takes a man of great integity to say that publicly. What he's teaching now is a godsend. Well done Dr, Berry.
He was parroting what he learned in medical school. Medicine is also about acquiring knowledge - not dogma. Dr Westman is great, and he doesn't talk with a "funny" accent ;-)😊
Just a non-scientific anecdote. I have been on beta blockers, Atenenol and Lisinopril since I was 35 years old, I am now 76. A year ago I went on keto. Within the first 4 months I lost 60 lbs. My blood pressure drugs were cut in half. Now I am off Atenenol and Lisinopril completely. My BP is excellent. I feel a lot younger than my age. I was even motivated to start gym 4 to 5 days a week. Living my best life.
I was 240 lbs and a type 2 diabetic for 25 yrs. 6 days on Keto, I went off Metformin, my pharmacist chastised me. And suggested I get off Keto. That was 6 yrs ago. I have lost 60 lbs. ( I eat to many nuts and dairy) I am off meds for cholesterol, depression and at 73 brain fog is gone. I have a life again,
@@donnadee7442 thats great!! They do consider reversal of diabetes even with metformin in case you didn't know. The virta health study explained it im a video bu dr sarah hallberg (rip) (not sure if they mentioned it as i havent watched whole video). Some nondiabetics are even taking it..crazy!! I'm not convincing you to take it but some interesting stuff is happening! I believe its due to autophagy. I was prediabetic and dropped my hga1c from 5.9 to 4.8. Keep going and meet your goals 🙏💗
The hardest thing to do after being on Keto/Carnivore for nearly 5 years is going to the grocery store and seeing nearly everyone buying absolute crap food piled in their buggies while they are fat sick and dying, it is heart breaking! Thank you Dr Westman and Dr Berry for all that you do!!! I recommend you both to people that are even the slightest interested in regaining their health and mental clarity 😀
@@trotskyite1 strongest and most intelligent people throughout all civilizations in history? Maybe not all carnivore. Some were. Maybe not mostly veg, some were. Some a mix of both. Guess what? Soy boy beta male vegan that scarfs down a Gates funded mock meat burger and vega protein shake? No. Funny. Nowhere is that recorded as an ideal diet. Weird. Tofu warriors in the middle east? Soy milk being passed among the Athenian Greek parlors? No. Hmmm. Something says that swirling eyeballs will continue to swirl regardless of common sense
I'm 51, been on carnivore for 101 days, lost 30 lbs, reversed pre-diabetes, and have a goal to not need my BP med by the end of the year. I'm also in the medical field, but on the billing end and deal with insurance companies daily. The reason carnivore/keto/low carb is discouraged is because that way of living actually heals your body. When a system is built on profit, it can't afford to have customers who get well.
I don't understand that. I'm obviously looking at it in the wrong way. Because I pay my health insur each mth and I don't use it. Aren't they making money from that? And I'm still paying in because I might get hit by a bus. 😉
@@ShipCreekThat is you. There are millions of People who have Chronic health issues and most their heth issues would be CURED with Diet and Nutrition. Instead of telling People what will cure them....They give them pills with a bunch a side affects for the symptoms. I can tell you some things I have learned that would make your head spin.
That's the very principle of an insurance. Count your blessings that you don't need to use the coverage. However if some day u do need care then u will be happy that u contributed all these years. @ShipCreek
When i first mentioned Keto to my cardiologist, his reaction was negative, two years later and my numbers are fantastic, he asked what I'm doing and I told him that my diet is no sugar, low carbs and he told me to keep doing what I'm doing!
sugar , salt , and oily foods should be eliminated in your diet , if you want a good result , just like korean food, japanese food, they don't use too much oil in their diet ,,! ❤
@@myrnasharif499 As for Korean food: raw, unpasteurized Kimchi is amazing, keto friendly, low calorie, full of amazing probiotics/ digestive enzymes and has lowered my blood pressure and cholesterol. And on the Japanese side, I can't tell you how much I LOVE Sashimi!!!
Good for you. Salt is good. Decreased life expectancy with low salt. And, avoid oily food if seed oil. Eat good fat, animal fat is good and safe, in ketosis
I am a 73yo female. Eating Keto for 3.5 years. Lost 35 lbs. also have Lipedema. Chol & LDL up so was sent for Calcium score (because I stopped taking statins a year ago). Got an envelope today from the imaging center with the results. My Ca Score is “0”. WOW!
I can't even expess my gratitude to all of the pioneering doctors who are willing to bring us the truth. Thank you for all you've done and continue to do.
I went from keto to carnivore 8 days ago and have lost 10 lbs my gums stopped bleeding and my anxiety and depression is so much better.just turned 60 feeling amazing..constipation totally gone!!
I went the opposite way, keto was great for me but when I added in more meat for ketovore well now I'm battling diverticulitis flare-up and 2nd round of antibiotics for 14 days. I haven't had a flareup in 6 yrs. Been keto almost 2 yrs. I have to eat more fiber and veggies because constipation is bad for my problem I guess. More fat didn't help either. Right now I'm having to eat low fiber food that's not keto, it sucks but I have to eat!
It's been 8 days for me also on carnivore, I've lost 4 lbs and feel much better already. The first few days were really hard for me, a sugar junkie for years!
@@Cindy75K I just watched a really interseting podcast with Dr Anthony Chaffee and Dr Paul Mason. He talked about some of the animal products causing inflammation such as eggs, coffee, dairy and a couple of other things. Will try and find the link for you...
Great video. When I talk to my Dr. about low carb, high fat diet, he just looks at me incredulously. I've lost 45 lbs by following keto/carnivore in a year and reversed type II diabetes. Now , let''s educate these doctors about cholesterol/lipids. Another subject where they need to be brought up to "speed". Thanks for all you do.
Best to be the light not shine the light. My doctor had a hissy fit when I told him I was on keto. I eventually switched to carnivore but did not tell him because he was such an ass about my keto WOE. My blood work came back AMAZING. I eventually ended up getting a new doc. He was hopeless! My new doctor actually listens.
@@basketballfan5763 that is an obvious question that didn't even occur to me. Sometimes the hardest things to see, are the things right in front of us.
Doctors Pradip Jamnadas (Orlando) and Nadir Ali (near Houston) are interventional cardiologists that swear by low carb, high saturated fat, IF, Keto. They come up with wonderful studies and old studies that were buried. They both prove how important cholesterol and LDL are. (Finally found out what VLDL is and how to compute.) You are all great healers.❤️
Doc, thank you sir. Went to my cardiologist for my yearly checkup in Feb. He smiled and congratulated me on my new way of life. Said I was doing great.
When my mother passed, she had high blood pressure, diabetes, cirrhosis (she was a teetotaler), and had received a kidney transplant 10 years prior. I appreciate you both for your insights. I lost 15lbs in one month and am struggling to jump back in. Videos like these help me get back on track.
Condolences for your loss. I still miss my mum 8 years later. Stay away from diary if you wish to loose weight, (not butter). If you happen to fall off the keto wagon, fast for 16/18/24/ 48 hours, depends on how hard you fell.😊 good luck to you mate!
My brother-in-law died so early he was autopsied. A long time T2 diabetic the autopsy doc kept insisting if he must've been alcoholic.(He NEVER drank.) I kept trying to correct her by saying he had NAFLD. She'd never heard of it! And that was in New York City about 6 years ago! It's amazing what so-called expert medical folk DON'T know!
Most medical professionals and politicians are associated with pharmaceutical companies. These most professionals do not have basic research and clinical experience. Everything is getting politicized and above all people are uneducated and clueless.
I thought we were bad..in 2009 I worked on a GI ward with mostly liver failure patients. I heard of fatty liver disease my first time that year and it was "strange" it was from his obesity. Its not surprising as there is so much disconnect between disease and diet. Heck even my textbooks would say "treat diabetes with diet and exercise" but never actually say how. Im glad you know and share with the world.
Just started keto 3 days ago. Besides being overweight, just diagnosed with diabetes 7.1 A1C and liver enzymes up I have had chronic pain. I am about pain free in 3 days. Amazing!
keep going - try and not cheat yourself - results will come I know - 8 months 27kg / off most meds / insulin down from 140 to 8 units a day / all blood markers improved like HBA1C down from 8.0 to low 6 and already looking like it will go lower - stick with it - eat enough so that you don't feel hungry and snack - good luck
Last World Diabetes Day (Nov 14) my health plan (Kaiser) celebrated by sending a food guideline sheet via email that recommended to minimize meats and fats and eat lots of fruits and other high carb plants. I was ticked off and wanted to send an angry email telling them what I thought about this terrible advice for diabetics. Unfortunately their email return address was marked 'no reply' so my email reply was bounced back. I really got ticked off when my doctor thought my A1C was too low at 5.2, which I had brought down from 8.0 by going low carb. I fired that doctor and got another one.
That's crazy. And that isn't even the lowest your A1C can get, what was that dr thinking? I guess they have a minimum of meds they need or want to push and they can't when you don't require them! And ya, the Diabetic foundations pushing a high carb (which is simply, truly a high sugar) diet onto diabetics is just evil. Sugar, even in 'natural' whole form is still sugar! They want people sick and dependant on medications to pad their yearly bonuses and fund their CEOs' luxury vacations and homes!
Dr W helped me in person to lose 75+ pounds on keto. Dr B is my backup doctor. You don't know it, but when I wound up having surgery recently after stepping on glass (and not realizing it due to neuropathy) I would have faced amputation of at least one toe, if not more, had my diabetes not been under such better control. Hooray! I bragged about you guys and my weight loss to EVERYONE! And fought with the cafeteria staff to get appropriately fed on a daily basis. Dr W and I will have to talk to them about this! ❤
Hello Doctors from Palestine Texas. My son in Virginia was contacted by his insurance company and they asked him to be on a keto diet pilot program for diabetics to decrease amount of diabetic meds.
Really wish my cardiologist would wake up and enlightened himself on Keto & intermittent fasting. I’m in my 5th year and reduced all my metabolic markers! - without his help…
Speaking the truth in a world run by lies is dangerous. Thank you both for your work and dedication. Lost 50 pounds in 4 months on keto with intermittent fasting. Still 20 or 30 pounds to go, but it is finally in sight. If you are reading the comments and are unsure if it works- it does.
Thank you both for this wonderful discussion - so calm, rational and informative. My husband and I both agree with Dr Westman re the name ‘Carnivore’ - people find it too ‘radical’. We are both in our early 70s living in Australia - eating ‘carnivore’ now for two months now - feeling very well - our children and grandchildren are watching curiously - thanks to you both and all the other doctors in this ‘group’ of courageous teachers
My kids think I'm obsessive, their diet is mostly packaged. But my daughter in law has decided to not eat bread or let their daughter, whose 7, good beginning.
Great to hear! I'm 63 and started Keto two years ago, and transitioned to Carnivore 120 days ago. The results speak for themselves. 86kg to 73kg. 13 years of heart palpatation/ectopics gone. Eye sight improved so new prescription needed. More energy.
@@hoboonwheels9289 You and your kids seem to be two extreme sides. And that poor 7 year old, I'm 83 and have had Italian semolina bread everyday of my life fresh from the bakery. I couldn't imagine living without it for the sauce. I've never heard of anyone dying from bread. Every 100 year old around the world ate bread.
@@Danny-zm5rh You've clearly missed the point about a why people choose not to eat bread and other processed carbs/sugars. Lol. (And no, not everyone needs to cut them out completely, but many people do, or at least get the most benefit from it. It has a lot to do with hormonal and other biological, reactions it causes in the body. As well as the inflammatory effects that sugar, even in carb form (because carbs are just sugars in the form of long-form chains as opposed to short, to put it very basically) that happen in the body.) Also it isn't always about pure weight loss, it's about healing and health benefits. To each their own.
What an excellent conversation between 2 common sense humans who happen to be Dr's. I've been ketovore for 6 yrs, but I always learn more from these smart men.
According to my mother I was born constipated, and that finally stopped when I stopped eating vegetables as well as carbs. And it's a real shame doctors know nothing about teeth: health starts in our mouths! And the NHS here in the UK is fasing dentists out of their service! Madness.
Thanks to each of you. Please contnue to proclaim the virtues of low cerb. I reversed insulin resistance and lost 40 pounds, thanks to professionals sharing their knowledge.
I love it when overweight, unhealthy, Rx drugged people try to argue with me about MY “unhealthy” keto/carnivore/IF lifestyle. I just point out to them that I’m a 60 year old woman at a comfortable weight of 137 currently, on zero medications and zero health issues soooooooo…. They still insist I’m gonna die of a heart attack or cancer. 😂. I just wish them luck on their journey.
I tried Atkins (Keto) so many times. I got a great start and then I found that the carbs I ate made me want more of them. On carnivore, I never even think about the carbs. I just find any carbs a gateway drug to more and more cheat days, etc. I feel great on Carnivore and things are finally working. I am noticing really weird things, too. Better Urine flow, no brain fog, no swollen ankles after working, absolutely no indigestion, losing my gut, etc.! I am hoping to get off of CPAP someday! I also went back to working nights and am tolerating them so much better than I did 20 years ago.
The Atkins diet and the Ketogenic diet are not the same thing. Atkins is high protein and low or no carb. Keto is high fat, medium protein, and low carb.
My 82 yo dad lose 40 pounds, 4 pant sizes, and A1C went from 7.9 to 5.1 in 4 months. Mostly keto - carnivore. He is much healthier now with all his markers. Lower triglycerides & higher HDL etc.
Eating lots of meat and traditional fats like tallow and lard has helped me lose 60lbs effortlessly and still losing. My thyroid and joint pain are improving too. I’m a RN and I try to educate as many as I can about this!
I’ve been carnivore for just over a month. I’ve lost just a few pounds, I haven’t started fasting yet which seems to be a big part of weight loss on carnivore. Sometimes I go 12-16 hours, but I do get hungry and I’m not able to eat as much as many you tubers seem to. I’m not sure I’m getting enough protein. I guess I was hoping for a miracle. I’m still committed and have resisted all temptation to date. Which for me is a minor miracle in itself. I watch these videos to reinforce my commitment. Thankyou for the info, inspiration, and encouragement.
I find it difficult to be faithful to it, though I know it's best for me. It is now a must due to my age 62, weight xxx, slightly high blood pressure and A1C at 5.8 - not to mention chronic all over pain and meds. Its not something I can play with anymore, its gotta be my life. Choosing it today. That's all I can do.
Hi. You might be eating too many carbs so you still have cravings for carbs. Really eat 20g of carbs per day or less to squash cravings. You might try no carbs in eating carnivore style. Dr Berry had to to solve his last health problems. Try it. There are so many benefits!
I hope the diet is working for you, and that you constantly ask your doctors to lower your medications. They all have side effects (such as statins cause muscle damage). I am NOT a doctor, just a reader of medicine side-effect labels. They are pretty scary. I wish you the best on your journey to better health! 😊
❤❤So happy to see you both together. My favorite heroes. Went on keto in 2018 and will live this way for life. I rarely get 20 carbs in a week, so it truly is virtually carnivore. Don’t care what you call it. No more meds, no inflammatory pain, no seizures.
I’ve noticed that Costco has adapted their meat department to accommodate the Keto and Carnivore way of eating. They have a five pound tray of half-inch-thick Ribeyes and another tray of eight one-inch-thick Ribeyes. Personally, i stuck with my usual five pounds of ground beef, but maybe next time I’ll splurge and get the Ribeyes. My point is that the Costco buyers are following the trend and wishes of meat lovers. 👍
It is absolutely ridiculous, the same thing occurs in archaeology, you're not allowed to come up with new theories, even when it helps human beings, because you are destroying what they are trying to protect with everything they have... their own credibility! Freedom is having a choice , tyranny is the stepping on your throat to prevent that choice...
MD PhD here, based overseas. I quit my oncology research career about a decade ago for these exact same reasons. Research is “doctored. I will always be a physician/clinician at heart - to promote health and wellness. I chose an alternative career path & am Happier and fulfilled years later.
I’m 80 yrs old started Trulicity 3 months ago. I am a retired doctor. At age 80 I have normally lost muscle that I try to fight with exercise. I have just started adding protein supplement to help with the muscle loss that accompanies my weight loss. My A1C has dropped from 7.4 to 6.3. I have modified my diet to far less carbs. Weight loss from 167 lbs to 154 lbs. I am fighting a general weakness when it comes to walking more than 2 miles daily.
Not being able to walk 2 miles doesn’t seem like normal muscle loss (unless the 2-mile walk are hills, which always kill me). Was this your condition BEFORE you started taking Trulicity? (I’m not a doctor, but am researching the keto & carnivore diets, and am suspicious of all the side-effects of prescription drugs). Best wishes on your journey of increasing your proteins to help restore your muscle loss! ❤
This is not medical advice, as I am not a doctor. This is just what I would do: stop taking Trulicity, lower carbs enough to get into ketosis, eat plenty of red, fatty meat and stop taking a protein supplement, and implement a shorter eating window, based on what you do today (if you eat within 12 hours currently, shorten the window to 10 hours, then 8, then 6). I may also put walking on hold until I felt better, depending on what I was inspired to do. I would also eventually add lifting weights when in a fasted state.
You don’t have to walk more than 2 miles at a time. I walk 4 miles at a time and admit it can get boring. I am NOT a doctor, but you mentioned general weakness. I believe muscle weakness is a side effect of statins. Are you taking any? I like doing Leslie Sansone’s Walk-at-home exercise dvds (1 has 1-, 2- and 3-mile walks) which also include very easy arm and leg exercises, introducing some light weights (e.g., such as water bottles). Best wishes. 😊
I am 71 retired dental surgeon. Allulose is a natural non caloric non glycemic index sweetener that works glp1 just like Trulicity. Just 1.75 tsp bid. Coffee, tea. It increases muscle mass as well as increases fat metabolism. Sarcopenia is a common risk for us....
Great guest!! Love Dr. Eric Westman. I have done a therapeutic ketogenic diet (under 20 total carbs) for over a year and it has improved my conditions in a multitude of ways!!
Thank you both so much for this insight. I am beginning my carnivore journey and found this very enlightening. I have been a nurse for over half my life and knew instinctively this was the best way to eat (heavily studied Atkins protocols in 2000) but followed conventional medicine and adopted lifestyles such as taught through "Lifestyle Medicine" all the while getting fatter and more ill. Week one down and I feel better than I did 20 years ago. Thank you both for bringing this info to the masses!
If you go back in history on Dr Berry’s videos, you’ll learn he went through the same journey. He was following stuff he learned in medical school and got unhealthy as hell!
OMG, this is the battle of the bands, even though I haven't watched it yet. I'm sure they will be playing harmonious music. These are my two favorite Doctors. Most things in life are simple and both espouse this philosophy. One day there will be statues of both. We will win. Evil always loses.
My friends and family are watching curiously. I will celebrate my 1 year anniversary being carnivore April 3. I've tried veggies a few times, each time resulting in joint pain in my hands and knee. Carnivore is the perfect way to eat, perfect nutrition! Thank you Dr. Berry.
My family is watching me. I've lost 50 pounds after seven months of ketovore and intermittent fasting. They keep telling me how dangerous it is, and I'm too skinny. Amazing how we forgot what healthy people look like
And I understand we are all different. I also watch Dr Mark Hyman videos. I think he’s great also. He will recommend keto and then healthy carbs with low glycemic index. I havent figured out where I fall but it will be a journey towards good health!
I’m down to broccoli, cauliflower A little red onion for flavor, garlic, turmeric, healthy mustard and romaine lettuce. And extra virgin olive oil and apple cider vinegar (with the mother) on my Romain lettuce grilled chicken salads(with grated Parmesan). I will try pure carnivore soon for a month or two and then reintroduce the above mentioned stuff.
Awesome, life-saving information! Thank you, Doctors! Learning from you two and a few other of your contemporaries has made my life much better. So far, I have lost (and kept off) 130 lbs, and my prescription list has been cut in half. Thank you both for what you do.
Thank you Dr. Berry!! I wouldn't have guessed that Duke U. would have a keto clinic. This is about 4.5 hours from me. I'm excited mainly because I'm a teacher and will be free to commute there in the summer for help if needed. Additionally, I can pass this on to people that I know/meet!!!!
It took me 5 days to get back into ketosis after having a big bunch of sweet pie. When I think of eating pastries I just need to remember how it affects me.
Have you found safe alternatives you can make at home for times of struggle? Having a game plan can help.. I need to keep boiled eggs and pickles handy at all times.
Dr. Westman, thank you for setting the record straight as to how Dr. Atkins died. He inspired me to this way of eating in the 70s. I owe my health to him and to wonderful doctors like you and Dr. Berry!!! Thank you!
Yes, thank you. Over the years I’ve corrected so many people on that point! I’ve read everything Atkins wrote over the years. Now I follow Dr Westman and Drs like Ken Berry. A good Dr is hard to find!
@@brendamoore1190 that's how I lost my weight at that time was with Atkins, and then , 2 years later, I read and research keto and then I went on that and been on keto and Intermittent fasting for the last 6 years.
Yes indeed !! It is so revealing that the food/pharma/medical mafia found it necessary to lie about the accidental nature of Dr Atkins death in order to denigrate the benefits of his diet !! Shameful !!!
Loved this video and respect you both. I've tried WW and Keto as my own research for myself. My Blood sugar runs pre-diabetic on the WW diabetic program, with fruit and grains, next to no weight loss. On Keto my blood sugar is normal and I've lost 30 lbs and no hunger. There is my proof. TRIGLYCERIDES DOWN to normal.
Hello.. from 2 carnivores in Iowa!! Never felt better in our lives. I am 55yr and my hubby is 71yr. Been lied to our whole lives about food, Finally..went Carnivore...loving life, energy like crazy, building muscle back, no brain fog, thyroid perfect..etc etc.
I’m retired Army. Nutrition was never a thing when I was active duty military. If you think doctors aren’t taught enough about nutrition you can imagine how little Soldiers understand about it. My bachelors degree is in Food Science & Human Nutrition (‘94-‘99). Until I stumbled across paleo/keto philosophies (anthropological nutrition) I couldn’t begin to make the changes I needed to. Now that I’ve made those changes I’m thankful to have your channel to continue to suss out the medical benefits of this new way of eating (and not eating).
So glad to hear what you said about the possibility of being knocked out of ketosis for two weeks! In looking at my ketone and glucose journal, that seems to be exactly what I've experienced. I'm definitely insulin resistant so back to being more strict, probably for the rest of my life. That might be longer if I keep up keto! So glad to know Dr Westman is at Duke - close to home for me and a great reference for people who think I'm crazy. 😁
I just went through the provincial bariatric surgery process and I decided to not do it based mostly on the severe life altering state of it and their repeated guarantee that we would only lose 10-15% of the weight. The thing that bugged me is the run up to the surgery you meet with a clinical psychologist who continually put down ketogenic diets and nutritionists who also said high fibre and veg was the ideal diet for people. I'm like, "Why do I feel so much better when I eat 100% meat for two weeks?" and they never had an answer.
Great conversation & information from two wonderful souls. I no longer live my life by doctors' orders. I probably wouldn't be alive today if I did 10yrs ago diagnosed with Crohn's. I refused their life long immune suppressant drugs & sought knowledge to heal it naturally. I've been Keto/Carnivore for 6 yrs & it healed the disease in my body. Many blessings to you both with many more lives to change out there.... thank you both.🙂💞
There is a website where you can search for a doctor but it’s name escapes me right now. Dr. Berry mentions it occasionally. Maybe someone will chime in with the site name.
@@majajohnson6287 It'll be a very short list. They're all brainwashed by their training. Only those who have specifically sought out alternative narratives will be any different.
Thank you ! You both made me healthy. 🎉I’m 70 and been doing it for a year. Lose 40 pounds and no more blood pressure medication and no pre-diabetes. God Bless 🙏
Yay Dr. Westman!!!!! 💪💪💪❤️❤️❤️ I am part of his AYLA group and continue to see health improvements (able to come off meds) and have lost weight. I find him to be a kind person with a good sense of humor. Fan for life. 😊
Ooo I'm excited. I recently been watching Westman for the past week and watching Ken Berry for nearly a year now. To see you both on piques my interest even more.
Thank you for this interview and thank you Dr. Westman for clearing Dr. Atkins' name and cause of death. I remember that day vividly b/c I was living in NYC at the time and it was brutally cold that day and the sidewalks were ice sheets and you had to walk in baby steps so as not to fall, though I myself slipped on the ice that same day while walking to the subway station. When I heard about Dr. Atkins doing the same, I wasn't surprised. But I cried tears of real sadness, as his blue New Revolution book that had just come out (1996-7?) saved my life at the time as I had just quit smoking and started eating like crazy. I also still have his first book from 1972, the original Revolution when he first introduced low carb eating to the world. The powers that be were always against him for obvious reasons. But his legacy lives on. Thank you again for mentioning his name and that he did not die of a heart attack, nor was he "bloated" (I remember hearing that LIE, too!). No respect.
Love and learned a lot! Thank you both 💕 I also get upset when people say,Well you know Dr Atkins died because of eating that way!😜😜Omg! No he didn't! He saved our lives by getting this out there! And now we have Drs and people like y'all teaching us more! Thank you!!!!
My wife and I have been doing Keto for 3 years and will be doing it for the rest of our lives. She was on cholesterol meds as well as beta blockers for a rapid heart beat and was pre-diabetic. She has gotten off of all of her meds. Her doctor is also doing keto and gave her the option of more meds or trying keto for 6 month and she dropped 35 pounds and is doing great. I went on it just to stay healthy and cut the carbs and sugar. We also take a lot of vitamin and other supplements that also help her with the rapid heart beat by balancing her minerals. Thanks for the great video.
I wish more doctors would ask their patients if they are interested in reversing metabolic syndrome. I see many people where I work that openly say they have type 2 diabetes, I ask them if their doctors have told them they can reverse it, and they say “no”.
@Andromeda yes, electrolytes are good. The LMNT’s are the best I’ve tried so far. Keto Chow has the drops and I use the travel dropper. Neisha has a discount code for the LMNT’S.
I was getting ready to start keto again after gaining 30lbs back. I bought my Keto meter and was shocked to see my waking glucose at 136 and my evening at 164. Both my biological parents are type 2. I went Keto almost fully carnivore about a week ago with 16 fasts. So far my glucose is normalizing, inflamation is improving AND periodontitis is improving. I feel better and am staying on the narrow line going forward. Thank you for all the information provided. This is helping so many people with cronic conditions function better in life.
Thank you thank you thank you!!! At the beginning of my journey. You are saving lives and creating an army of people who are sick and tired of being lied to by big farma, big pharma and our government!! You empower US to be able to make our health our priority!
It could save him. You want him in ketosis because cancer doesn't like it. I was a pharmacist for 20 years and I can't believe they taught us in school the "pyamid" diet, and they teach docs that too. My Dr went from thinking I was crazy for eating carnivore, but 5 months later he was shocked when he saw me and after he got my numbers back, he told me to "continue with whatever I had been doing." We help teach our Drs that this diet fixes many conditions.

Incredible video, Dr. Westman is amazing, awesome stuff Dr. Berry, thank you for doing this, your a legend, Love how there are many more Dr.'s looking into this.
Dr.Berry thank you for all you do...I am in that group of healthcare providers that has improved my health and my patients with the KETO Lifestyle 🙂 I love to hear Dr. Westerman at the conferences and always look forward to his input to this robust community.
I've been trying to do keto for last 3 months or so, I've lost 25 lbs but I still struggle eating so much meat, eggs, cheese etc. because I've been told my whole life (practically) that it is soooo bad for you! I plan in sticking to a low carb diet and see what happens...
It’s obviously working for you, but I understand the concern because we were brought up thinking fat was bad. But check labs every 3-6 months and you’ll see your progress
It’s nice to hear that studies are being done on Heart Failure /keto . I’ve been Ketovore for 5 months. Having cake only on my birthday/anniversary (I need to stop that ) . I’m working on reversing congestive heart failure /non-ischemic cardiomyopathy with an extremely low Ejection fraction & a Left bundle branch block. Hopefully it goes well

![Carnivore Diet Dangers? 2 Doctors Answer Questions [Dr Anthony Chaffee]](/img/tr.png)
I was hospitalized for a surgery and was talking to an older RN and we were discussing diets. I brought up Paleo/Keto and suggested how it remedies many afflictions. I posed the question to her why the medical profession doesn't investigate the possibility of Paleo/Keto. She leaned over, smiled and said: "Honey, there is no profit in cure."
Healthcare as we know is sick care. Prior to my qualifying for medicare, my Cadillac care insurance coverage, although I had been overweight for years, did not cover any wellness care related to exercise, diet and nutrition. I wish that I could have all of those insurance premiums back that I paid for about 30 years.
@@pegboyd4312 Don't I wish for the same!
@@kathytittle I am a semi-retired RN and have a very good bariatric nutrition physician that I have seen over the past 3 years and consistent with the keto way of life. I am down 70 lbs as well. My HBA1C is 5.
Correct response from a wise nurse! As a 40 year RN career I wish I had known and I would have shared the truth as well! Dr Berry and many brave doctors are paving a way for truth! Our food is killing us!
@@pegboyd4312 I had an endocrinologist (who I was hoping would handle my TRT) take a look at my bloodwork after 6 months of low carb and IF. Despite the fact that my trigycerides had gone down fom 162 to 70, my fasting insulin had dropped to 4.1, my HDL doubled to 60, and my fasting glucose was near 95... she immediately "threatened" me with statins if I didn't stop eating the way I was. Needless to say she didn't remain my endocrinologist.
Dr. Berry, in the past admits he gave the wrong nutritional advice and harmed many patients. It takes a man of great integity to say that publicly. What he's teaching now is a godsend. Well done Dr, Berry.
@@cornstar1253 You can say that about anything, we can only make conclusions based upon the best possible evidence.
@@cornstar1253It’s not that obvious unless you actually do it.
He was parroting what he learned in medical school. Medicine is also about acquiring knowledge - not dogma. Dr Westman is great, and he doesn't talk with a "funny" accent ;-)😊
and he may well do it again in 5 years ..oh sorry guys new study finds bacon is rubbish sorry for telling you to eat it every day. guys a fuckwitt
protien spikes insulin . isnt that bad ?
Just a non-scientific anecdote. I have been on beta blockers, Atenenol and Lisinopril since I was 35 years old, I am now 76. A year ago I went on keto. Within the first 4 months I lost 60 lbs. My blood pressure drugs were cut in half. Now I am off Atenenol and Lisinopril completely. My BP is excellent. I feel a lot younger than my age. I was even motivated to start gym 4 to 5 days a week. Living my best life.
Wow! You're a inspiration to many people!
The drug companies groom us like cattle for their profit. They've been milking you for years and they don't care! Good work..

The hardest thing to do after being on Keto/Carnivore for nearly 5 years is going to the grocery store and seeing nearly everyone buying absolute crap food piled in their buggies while they are fat sick and dying, it is heart breaking! Thank you Dr Westman and Dr Berry for all that you do!!! I recommend you both to people that are even the slightest interested in regaining their health and mental clarity 😀
No the hardest thing is working in a childcare service and seeing tiny children fed 5 meals of that crap
That's a false dichotomy. You don't have to eat junk or just meat etc. You could just eat healthily avoid the inevitable carnivore heart attack
Its so sad that so many people don't have this information. I tell as many people as I can.

I'm 51, been on carnivore for 101 days, lost 30 lbs, reversed pre-diabetes, and have a goal to not need my BP med by the end of the year. I'm also in the medical field, but on the billing end and deal with insurance companies daily. The reason carnivore/keto/low carb is discouraged is because that way of living actually heals your body. When a system is built on profit, it can't afford to have customers who get well.
I don't understand that. I'm obviously looking at it in the wrong way.
Because I pay my health insur each mth and I don't use it. Aren't they making money from that? And I'm still paying in because I might get hit by a bus. 😉
I feel ur pain… was in the medical field doing the same as yourself. Its brutal.

It is like any other type of insurance......you keep it in case you need it.
@@ShipCreekThat is you. There are millions of People who have Chronic health issues and most their heth issues would be CURED with Diet and Nutrition. Instead of telling People what will cure them....They give them pills with a bunch a side affects for the symptoms. I can tell you some things I have learned that would make your head spin.

When i first mentioned Keto to my cardiologist, his reaction was negative, two years later and my numbers are fantastic, he asked what I'm doing and I told him that my diet is no sugar, low carbs and he told me to keep doing what I'm doing!

And then he started the same diet lol
Good for you. Salt is good. Decreased life expectancy with low salt. And, avoid oily food if seed oil. Eat good fat, animal fat is good and safe, in ketosis

I went from keto to carnivore 8 days ago and have lost 10 lbs my gums stopped bleeding and my anxiety and depression is so much better.just turned 60 feeling amazing..constipation totally gone!!
I went the opposite way, keto was great for me but when I added in more meat for ketovore well now I'm battling diverticulitis flare-up and 2nd round of antibiotics for 14 days. I haven't had a flareup in 6 yrs. Been keto almost 2 yrs. I have to eat more fiber and veggies because constipation is bad for my problem I guess. More fat didn't help either. Right now I'm having to eat low fiber food that's not keto, it sucks but I have to eat!
8 days ? Wow that’s pretty crazy
I love this! I'm going to do BBBE in April and am looking forward to even more health benefits than I'm already experiencing on keto.
It's been 8 days for me also on carnivore, I've lost 4 lbs and feel much better already. The first few days were really hard for me, a sugar junkie for years!
@@Cindy75K I just watched a really interseting podcast with Dr Anthony Chaffee and Dr Paul Mason. He talked about some of the animal products causing inflammation such as eggs, coffee, dairy and a couple of other things. Will try and find the link for you...
Great video. When I talk to my Dr. about low carb, high fat diet, he just looks at me incredulously. I've lost 45 lbs by following keto/carnivore in a year and reversed type II diabetes. Now , let''s educate these doctors about cholesterol/lipids. Another subject where they need to be brought up to "speed". Thanks for all you do.
Are they not supposed to to be educated? I don't see why we should educate them... the best thing in a doctor's office is the door on the way out
@@basketballfan5763 can't disagree with you.
Best to be the light not shine the light. My doctor had a hissy fit when I told him I was on keto. I eventually switched to carnivore but did not tell him because he was such an ass about my keto WOE. My blood work came back AMAZING.
I eventually ended up getting a new doc. He was hopeless! My new doctor actually listens.
Can I ask what do u eat on keto?
@@basketballfan5763 that is an obvious question that didn't even occur to me. Sometimes the hardest things to see, are the things right in front of us.

When my mother passed, she had high blood pressure, diabetes, cirrhosis (she was a teetotaler), and had received a kidney transplant 10 years prior. I appreciate you both for your insights. I lost 15lbs in one month and am struggling to jump back in. Videos like these help me get back on track.
Condolences for your loss. I still miss my mum 8 years later. Stay away from diary if you wish to loose weight, (not butter). If you happen to fall off the keto wagon, fast for 16/18/24/ 48 hours, depends on how hard you fell.😊 good luck to you mate!
My brother-in-law died so early he was autopsied. A long time T2 diabetic the autopsy doc kept insisting if he must've been alcoholic.(He NEVER drank.) I kept trying to correct her by saying he had NAFLD. She'd never heard of it! And that was in New York City about 6 years ago! It's amazing what so-called expert medical folk DON'T know!
Most medical professionals and politicians are associated with pharmaceutical companies. These most professionals do not have basic research and clinical experience. Everything is getting politicized and above all people are uneducated and clueless.
I thought we were bad..in 2009 I worked on a GI ward with mostly liver failure patients. I heard of fatty liver disease my first time that year and it was "strange" it was from his obesity. Its not surprising as there is so much disconnect between disease and diet. Heck even my textbooks would say "treat diabetes with diet and exercise" but never actually say how. Im glad you know and share with the world.
Just started keto 3 days ago. Besides being overweight, just diagnosed with diabetes 7.1 A1C and liver enzymes up I have had chronic pain. I am about pain free in 3 days. Amazing!
keep going - try and not cheat yourself - results will come I know - 8 months 27kg / off most meds / insulin down from 140 to 8 units a day / all blood markers improved like HBA1C down from 8.0 to low 6 and already looking like it will go lower - stick with it - eat enough so that you don't feel hungry and snack - good luck
Doubtful
I hope you keep going. You will be cured of diabetes

Carnivore for right over a year down 85 lbs off all BP meds. Glad to have my life and health back!
Last World Diabetes Day (Nov 14) my health plan (Kaiser) celebrated by sending a food guideline sheet via email that recommended to minimize meats and fats and eat lots of fruits and other high carb plants. I was ticked off and wanted to send an angry email telling them what I thought about this terrible advice for diabetics. Unfortunately their email return address was marked 'no reply' so my email reply was bounced back.
I really got ticked off when my doctor thought my A1C was too low at 5.2, which I had brought down from 8.0 by going low carb. I fired that doctor and got another one.
Never heard there was an ideal minimum A1C
Kaiser? Each and every time I hear about them, I wonder about their end goal.
That's crazy. And that isn't even the lowest your A1C can get, what was that dr thinking? I guess they have a minimum of meds they need or want to push and they can't when you don't require them!
And ya, the Diabetic foundations pushing a high carb (which is simply, truly a high sugar) diet onto diabetics is just evil. Sugar, even in 'natural' whole form is still sugar! They want people sick and dependant on medications to pad their yearly bonuses and fund their CEOs' luxury vacations and homes!

Dr W helped me in person to lose 75+ pounds on keto. Dr B is my backup doctor. You don't know it, but when I wound up having surgery recently after stepping on glass (and not realizing it due to neuropathy) I would have faced amputation of at least one toe, if not more, had my diabetes not been under such better control. Hooray! I bragged about you guys and my weight loss to EVERYONE! And fought with the cafeteria staff to get appropriately fed on a daily basis. Dr W and I will have to talk to them about this! ❤
I see Dr Westman also
hospital food is so bad for sick people!
Hello Doctors from Palestine Texas. My son in Virginia was contacted by his insurance company and they asked him to be on a keto diet pilot program for diabetics to decrease amount of diabetic meds.
Finally, someone has found profit in Keto!
Really wish my cardiologist would wake up and enlightened himself on Keto & intermittent fasting. I’m in my 5th year and reduced all my metabolic markers! - without his help…
A lot of drs are part of the "system"
I am always impressed with Dr. Westman. His track record is astounding and his humility inspiring!
Speaking the truth in a world run by lies is dangerous. Thank you both for your work and dedication. Lost 50 pounds in 4 months on keto with intermittent fasting. Still 20 or 30 pounds to go, but it is finally in sight. If you are reading the comments and are unsure if it works- it does.
Sooo true
Thank you for this comment one week in and needed to see this!
Look what happened during [the fhing].
Thank you both for this wonderful discussion - so calm, rational and informative. My husband and I both agree with Dr Westman re the name ‘Carnivore’ - people find it too ‘radical’. We are both in our early 70s living in Australia - eating ‘carnivore’ now for two months now - feeling very well - our children and grandchildren are watching curiously - thanks to you both and all the other doctors in this ‘group’ of courageous teachers
My kids think I'm obsessive, their diet is mostly packaged. But my daughter in law has decided to not eat bread or let their daughter, whose 7, good beginning.
I live in Melbourne and was surprised to see low carb clinics run by doctors now.
Great to hear! I'm 63 and started Keto two years ago, and transitioned to Carnivore 120 days ago. The results speak for themselves. 86kg to 73kg. 13 years of heart palpatation/ectopics gone. Eye sight improved so new prescription needed. More energy.
@@hoboonwheels9289 You and your kids seem to be two extreme sides. And that poor 7 year old, I'm 83 and have had Italian semolina bread everyday of my life fresh from the bakery. I couldn't imagine living without it for the sauce. I've never heard of anyone dying from bread. Every 100 year old around the world ate bread.
@@Danny-zm5rh You've clearly missed the point about a why people choose not to eat bread and other processed carbs/sugars. Lol. (And no, not everyone needs to cut them out completely, but many people do, or at least get the most benefit from it. It has a lot to do with hormonal and other biological, reactions it causes in the body. As well as the inflammatory effects that sugar, even in carb form (because carbs are just sugars in the form of long-form chains as opposed to short, to put it very basically) that happen in the body.) Also it isn't always about pure weight loss, it's about healing and health benefits. To each their own.
What an excellent conversation between 2 common sense humans who happen to be Dr's. I've been ketovore for 6 yrs, but I always learn more from these smart men.
According to my mother I was born constipated, and that finally stopped when I stopped eating vegetables as well as carbs. And it's a real shame doctors know nothing about teeth: health starts in our mouths! And the NHS here in the UK is fasing dentists out of their service! Madness.
Thanks to each of you. Please contnue to proclaim the virtues of low cerb. I reversed insulin resistance and lost 40 pounds, thanks to professionals sharing their knowledge.
You two doctors are awesome. Thank you for all you do.
I love it when overweight, unhealthy, Rx drugged people try to argue with me about MY “unhealthy” keto/carnivore/IF lifestyle. I just point out to them that I’m a 60 year old woman at a comfortable weight of 137 currently, on zero medications and zero health issues soooooooo…. They still insist I’m gonna die of a heart attack or cancer. 😂. I just wish them luck on their journey.
Such is their delusional brainwashing.

"Et tu, Brutus"
My mom is 81, not on any medications, and walks everywhere. But, her friends on multiple meds, can barely walk, tell her she's doing it wrong 🤷
I tried Atkins (Keto) so many times. I got a great start and then I found that the carbs I ate made me want more of them. On carnivore, I never even think about the carbs. I just find any carbs a gateway drug to more and more cheat days, etc. I feel great on Carnivore and things are finally working. I am noticing really weird things, too. Better Urine flow, no brain fog, no swollen ankles after working, absolutely no indigestion, losing my gut, etc.! I am hoping to get off of CPAP someday! I also went back to working nights and am tolerating them so much better than I did 20 years ago.
I understand “any carb is a gateway drug” idea. I’m the same way. All or nothing. Congratulations on your health
The Atkins diet and the Ketogenic diet are not the same thing. Atkins is high protein and low or no carb. Keto is high fat, medium protein, and low carb.
Beautiful!
These two men are life savers. ❤ thank you both!
My 82 yo dad lose 40 pounds, 4 pant sizes, and A1C went from 7.9 to 5.1 in 4 months. Mostly keto - carnivore. He is much healthier now with all his markers. Lower triglycerides & higher HDL etc.
Eating lots of meat and traditional fats like tallow and lard has helped me lose 60lbs effortlessly and still losing. My thyroid and joint pain are improving too. I’m a RN and I try to educate as many as I can about this!
These two men saved my life! I have lost over 100 pounds, reversed my diabetes, fixed my cholesterol, and my kidney disease is improving fast!
Thank you DR. Berry for all your support and research in the Carnivore DIET. 👍😃🤝💖🇺🇸
I’ve been carnivore for just over a month. I’ve lost just a few pounds, I haven’t started fasting yet which seems to be a big part of weight loss on carnivore. Sometimes I go 12-16 hours, but I do get hungry and I’m not able to eat as much as many you tubers seem to. I’m not sure I’m getting enough protein. I guess I was hoping for a miracle. I’m still committed and have resisted all temptation to date. Which for me is a minor miracle in itself. I watch these videos to reinforce my commitment. Thankyou for the info, inspiration, and encouragement.
I find it difficult to be faithful to it, though I know it's best for me. It is now a must due to my age 62, weight xxx, slightly high blood pressure and A1C at 5.8 - not to mention chronic all over pain and meds. Its not something I can play with anymore, its gotta be my life. Choosing it today. That's all I can do.
Hi. You might be eating too many carbs so you still have cravings for carbs. Really eat 20g of carbs per day or less to squash cravings.
You might try no carbs in eating carnivore style. Dr Berry had to to solve his last health problems. Try it. There are so many benefits!
I hope the diet is working for you, and that you constantly ask your doctors to lower your medications. They all have side effects (such as statins cause muscle damage). I am NOT a doctor, just a reader of medicine side-effect labels. They are pretty scary.
I wish you the best on your journey to better health! 😊
❤❤So happy to see you both together. My favorite heroes.
Went on keto in 2018 and will live this way for life. I rarely get 20 carbs in a week, so it truly is virtually carnivore. Don’t care what you call it. No more meds, no inflammatory pain, no seizures.
I’ve noticed that Costco has adapted their meat department to accommodate the Keto and Carnivore way of eating. They have a five pound tray of half-inch-thick Ribeyes and another tray of eight one-inch-thick Ribeyes. Personally, i stuck with my usual five pounds of ground beef, but maybe next time I’ll splurge and get the Ribeyes. My point is that the Costco buyers are following the trend and wishes of meat lovers. 👍

MD PhD here, based overseas. I quit my oncology research career about a decade ago for these exact same reasons. Research is “doctored.
I will always be a physician/clinician at heart - to promote health and wellness. I chose an alternative career path & am
Happier and fulfilled years later.
I’m 80 yrs old started Trulicity 3 months ago. I am a retired doctor. At age 80 I have normally lost muscle that I try to fight with exercise. I have just started adding protein supplement to help with the muscle loss that accompanies my weight loss. My A1C has dropped from 7.4 to 6.3. I have modified my diet to far less carbs. Weight loss from 167 lbs to 154 lbs. I am fighting a general weakness when it comes to walking more than 2 miles daily.
Not being able to walk 2 miles doesn’t seem like normal muscle loss (unless the 2-mile walk are hills, which always kill me). Was this your condition BEFORE you started taking Trulicity? (I’m not a doctor, but am researching the keto & carnivore diets, and am suspicious of all the side-effects of prescription drugs).
Best wishes on your journey of increasing your proteins to help restore your muscle loss! ❤
This is not medical advice, as I am not a doctor. This is just what I would do: stop taking Trulicity, lower carbs enough to get into ketosis, eat plenty of red, fatty meat and stop taking a protein supplement, and implement a shorter eating window, based on what you do today (if you eat within 12 hours currently, shorten the window to 10 hours, then 8, then 6).
I may also put walking on hold until I felt better, depending on what I was inspired to do. I would also eventually add lifting weights when in a fasted state.
Weight lifting helps
You don’t have to walk more than 2 miles at a time. I walk 4 miles at a time and admit it can get boring. I am NOT a doctor, but you mentioned general weakness. I believe muscle weakness is a side effect of statins. Are you taking any?
I like doing Leslie Sansone’s Walk-at-home exercise dvds (1 has 1-, 2- and 3-mile walks) which also include very easy arm and leg exercises, introducing some light weights (e.g., such as water bottles).
Best wishes. 😊
I am 71 retired dental surgeon. Allulose is a natural non caloric non glycemic index sweetener that works glp1 just like Trulicity. Just 1.75 tsp bid. Coffee, tea. It increases muscle mass as well as increases fat metabolism. Sarcopenia is a common risk for us....
You Doctors are currently CHANGING the future of medicine, forever!!. Thank you!!
Best doctors ever! ❤️ opened my eyes and changed my life forever!
Great guest!! Love Dr. Eric Westman. I have done a therapeutic ketogenic diet (under 20 total carbs) for over a year and it has improved my conditions in a multitude of ways!!
Thank you both so much for this insight. I am beginning my carnivore journey and found this very enlightening. I have been a nurse for over half my life and knew instinctively this was the best way to eat (heavily studied Atkins protocols in 2000) but followed conventional medicine and adopted lifestyles such as taught through "Lifestyle Medicine" all the while getting fatter and more ill. Week one down and I feel better than I did 20 years ago. Thank you both for bringing this info to the masses!
If you go back in history on Dr Berry’s videos, you’ll learn he went through the same journey. He was following stuff he learned in medical school and got unhealthy as hell!
I used Atkins to stay healthy during my 30’s and 40’s. My body never did handle carbs well.
OMG, this is the battle of the bands, even though I haven't watched it yet. I'm sure they will be playing harmonious music. These are my two favorite Doctors. Most things in life are simple and both espouse this philosophy. One day there will be statues of both. We will win. Evil always loses.
Thank you for hosting Dr. Westman. I appreciate what you do.
My friends and family are watching curiously. I will celebrate my 1 year anniversary being carnivore April 3. I've tried veggies a few times, each time resulting in joint pain in my hands and knee. Carnivore is the perfect way to eat, perfect nutrition!
Thank you Dr. Berry.
My family is watching me. I've lost 50 pounds after seven months of ketovore and intermittent fasting. They keep telling me how dangerous it is, and I'm too skinny. Amazing how we forgot what healthy people look like
And I understand we are all different. I also watch Dr Mark Hyman videos. I think he’s great also. He will recommend keto and then healthy carbs with low glycemic index. I havent figured out where I fall but it will be a journey towards good health!
I’m down to broccoli, cauliflower A little red onion for flavor, garlic, turmeric, healthy mustard and romaine lettuce. And extra virgin olive oil and apple cider vinegar (with the mother) on my Romain lettuce grilled chicken salads(with grated Parmesan). I will try pure carnivore soon for a month or two and then reintroduce the above mentioned stuff.
Awesome, life-saving information! Thank you, Doctors! Learning from you two and a few other of your contemporaries has made my life much better. So far, I have lost (and kept off) 130 lbs, and my prescription list has been cut in half. Thank you both for what you do.
I have gone to so many incompetent doctors that I stop going. You are both heroes in your field. Thank you for all you do.
I'm a believer of the Keto/carnivore way of living. I try to promote a healthy lifestyle in my community here in Idaho.
Thank you Dr. Berry!! I wouldn't have guessed that Duke U. would have a keto clinic. This is about 4.5 hours from me. I'm excited mainly because I'm a teacher and will be free to commute there in the summer for help if needed. Additionally, I can pass this on to people that I know/meet!!!!
Excellent interview by 2 excellent doctors!
It took me 5 days to get back into ketosis after having a big bunch of sweet pie. When I think of eating pastries I just need to remember how it affects me.
I guess fasting for 24h would speed up ?
Have you found safe alternatives you can make at home for times of struggle? Having a game plan can help.. I need to keep boiled eggs and pickles handy at all times.
@@theskyehiker yeah, I just don't let anything sweet pass my lips any more. Keeps cravings away.
Thank you, Doctors, for using your powers and skills to help all mankind!
Dr. Westman, thank you for setting the record straight as to how Dr. Atkins died. He inspired me to this way of eating in the 70s. I owe my health to him and to wonderful doctors like you and Dr. Berry!!! Thank you!
Yes, thank you. Over the years I’ve corrected so many people on that point! I’ve read everything Atkins wrote over the years. Now I follow Dr Westman and Drs like Ken Berry. A good Dr is hard to find!
@@brendamoore1190 that's how I lost my weight at that time was with Atkins, and then , 2 years later, I read and research keto and then I went on that and been on keto and Intermittent fasting for the last 6 years.
Yes indeed !! It is so revealing that the food/pharma/medical mafia found it necessary to lie about the accidental nature of Dr Atkins death in order to denigrate the benefits of his diet !! Shameful !!!
Loved this video and respect you both. I've tried WW and Keto as my own research for myself. My Blood sugar runs pre-diabetic on the WW diabetic program, with fruit and grains, next to no weight loss. On Keto my blood sugar is normal and I've lost 30 lbs and no hunger. There is my proof. TRIGLYCERIDES DOWN to normal.
As others have posted, so good to see 2 of my favorite doctors in a video together collaborating!
Both of you are very awesome and compassionate, caring doctors! Thank you for all you do!
I just love Dr. Westman!
Hello.. from 2 carnivores in Iowa!! Never felt better in our lives. I am 55yr and my hubby is 71yr. Been lied to our whole lives about food, Finally..went Carnivore...loving life, energy like crazy, building muscle back, no brain fog, thyroid perfect..etc etc.
My two favorite doctors together. Thank you! 🙏🥰
I’m retired Army. Nutrition was never a thing when I was active duty military. If you think doctors aren’t taught enough about nutrition you can imagine how little Soldiers understand about it. My bachelors degree is in Food Science & Human Nutrition (‘94-‘99). Until I stumbled across paleo/keto philosophies (anthropological nutrition) I couldn’t begin to make the changes I needed to. Now that I’ve made those changes I’m thankful to have your channel to continue to suss out the medical benefits of this new way of eating (and not eating).
Doc Berry has all but saved my life
So glad to hear what you said about the possibility of being knocked out of ketosis for two weeks! In looking at my ketone and glucose journal, that seems to be exactly what I've experienced. I'm definitely insulin resistant so back to being more strict, probably for the rest of my life. That might be longer if I keep up keto! So glad to know Dr Westman is at Duke - close to home for me and a great reference for people who think I'm crazy. 😁
This did me justice. I shared it out on my channel. The more research the better to stop the disinformation.. Thank you both..
I just went through the provincial bariatric surgery process and I decided to not do it based mostly on the severe life altering state of it and their repeated guarantee that we would only lose 10-15% of the weight. The thing that bugged me is the run up to the surgery you meet with a clinical psychologist who continually put down ketogenic diets and nutritionists who also said high fibre and veg was the ideal diet for people. I'm like, "Why do I feel so much better when I eat 100% meat for two weeks?" and they never had an answer.
Love Dr Westman great talk 💫🌌🌠
Have Dr Pradip Jamnades on. Great cardiologist. He has brilliant things to say
Great conversation & information from two wonderful souls. I no longer live my life by doctors' orders. I probably wouldn't be alive today if I did 10yrs ago diagnosed with Crohn's. I refused their life long immune suppressant drugs & sought knowledge to heal it naturally. I've been Keto/Carnivore for 6 yrs & it healed the disease in my body. Many blessings to you both with many more lives to change out there.... thank you both.🙂💞
Ive said it before , we need a national list of pro keto/carnivore doctors, for people to choose from.
There is a website where you can search for a doctor but it’s name escapes me right now. Dr. Berry mentions it occasionally. Maybe someone will chime in with the site name.
@@majajohnson6287 thank you!
@@majajohnson6287 It'll be a very short list. They're all brainwashed by their training. Only those who have specifically sought out alternative narratives will be any different.
I love Dr. Westman! soft spoken and IMO a national hero!!!!
Thank you ! You both made me healthy. 🎉I’m 70 and been doing it for a year. Lose 40 pounds and no more blood pressure medication and no pre-diabetes. God Bless 🙏
That was not a battle royale, that was a mutual affection society. Been a fan of dr Westman for decades.
Yay Dr. Westman!!!!! 💪💪💪❤️❤️❤️ I am part of his AYLA group and continue to see health improvements (able to come off meds) and have lost weight. I find him to be a kind person with a good sense of humor. Fan for life. 😊
AYLA stands for what?

Ooo I'm excited. I recently been watching Westman for the past week and watching Ken Berry for nearly a year now. To see you both on piques my interest even more.
❤ Love Dr Westman. He’s like a dad to me… he’s been guiding my wellness journey for almost 10 years since I was in his HEAL program.
Thank you for this interview and thank you Dr. Westman for clearing Dr. Atkins' name and cause of death.
I remember that day vividly b/c I was living in NYC at the time and it was brutally cold that day and the sidewalks were ice sheets and you had to walk in baby steps so as not to fall, though I myself slipped on the ice that same day while walking to the subway station.
When I heard about Dr. Atkins doing the same, I wasn't surprised. But I cried tears of real sadness, as his blue New Revolution book that had just come out (1996-7?) saved my life at the time as I had just quit smoking and started eating like crazy.
I also still have his first book from 1972, the original Revolution when he first introduced low carb eating to the world. The powers that be were always against him for obvious reasons. But his legacy lives on. Thank you again for mentioning his name and that he did not die of a heart attack, nor was he "bloated" (I remember hearing that LIE, too!). No respect.
I felt the same way. He was like a good friend. So sad.
Thank you both Dr Berry and Dr Westman for all that you do to get the word out!
Love and learned a lot! Thank you both 💕 I also get upset when people say,Well you know Dr Atkins died because of eating that way!😜😜Omg! No he didn't! He saved our lives by getting this out there! And now we have Drs and people like y'all teaching us more! Thank you!!!!
Thank you both . Doing it for health reasons and feeling much better. Don’t have pain in my joints 🙌
Two of my favorite doctors💙💜
Two of my favorite doctors! Very informative!
Great information! Thank you two so much. I have been doing keto for over a year now and I am finally healthy.
My wife and I have been doing Keto for 3 years and will be doing it for the rest of our lives. She was on cholesterol meds as well as beta blockers for a rapid heart beat and was pre-diabetic. She has gotten off of all of her meds. Her doctor is also doing keto and gave her the option of more meds or trying keto for 6 month and she dropped 35 pounds and is doing great. I went on it just to stay healthy and cut the carbs and sugar. We also take a lot of vitamin and other supplements that also help her with the rapid heart beat by balancing her minerals. Thanks for the great video.
I wish more doctors would ask their patients if they are interested in reversing metabolic syndrome. I see many people where I work that openly say they have type 2 diabetes, I ask them if their doctors have told them they can reverse it, and they say “no”.
@Andromeda yes, electrolytes are good. The LMNT’s are the best I’ve tried so far. Keto Chow has the drops and I use the travel dropper. Neisha has a discount code for the LMNT’S.
Lucky dr is on board!
Blessings from Australia. You guys are the business!!!!!!!!! Thank you
I was getting ready to start keto again after gaining 30lbs back. I bought my Keto meter and was shocked to see my waking glucose at 136 and my evening at 164. Both my biological parents are type 2. I went Keto almost fully carnivore about a week ago with 16 fasts. So far my glucose is normalizing, inflamation is improving AND periodontitis is improving. I feel better and am staying on the narrow line going forward. Thank you for all the information provided. This is helping so many people with cronic conditions function better in life.
Thank you both for your persistence in this fight!
Thank you thank you thank you!!! At the beginning of my journey. You are saving lives and creating an army of people who are sick and tired of being lied to by big farma, big pharma and our government!! You empower US to be able to make our health our priority!
My two two favorite You Tube Docs !
My doctor LOVES Dr Westman.
❤❤❤
What state are you in?
"Own Your Labs" is my biggest take-away from this video. TY both.
This will support my son in laws cancer battle! Thank you both!
🙏🏻🧡
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
It could save him. You want him in ketosis because cancer doesn't like it. I was a pharmacist for 20 years and I can't believe they taught us in school the "pyamid" diet, and they teach docs that too. My Dr went from thinking I was crazy for eating carnivore, but 5 months later he was shocked when he saw me and after he got my numbers back, he told me to "continue with whatever I had been doing." We help teach our Drs that this diet fixes many conditions.
@@angieschimming9707 Yeah! my aunt has cancer and i am trying to feed her a keto diet but the hospital pushed Milk feeds to her! wonderful seed oil filled milk feeds
@@asuranrocks they were pushing ensure full of sugar on my son in law. He has stage 4 colorectal at age 44!
Not much of a battle royal, more collegial and mutually supportive. Kudos to both of you.
Incredible video, Dr. Westman is amazing, awesome stuff Dr. Berry, thank you for doing this, your a legend, Love how there are many more Dr.'s looking into this.
Thank you for having doctor Westman. His way of teaching keto has helped me a lot.
Dr.Berry thank you for all you do...I am in that group of healthcare providers that has improved my health and my patients with the KETO Lifestyle 🙂 I love to hear Dr. Westerman at the conferences and always look forward to his input to this robust community.
You both are AMAZING
I've been trying to do keto for last 3 months or so, I've lost 25 lbs but I still struggle eating so much meat, eggs, cheese etc. because I've been told my whole life (practically) that it is soooo bad for you! I plan in sticking to a low carb diet and see what happens...
It’s obviously working for you, but I understand the concern because we were brought up thinking fat was bad. But check labs every 3-6 months and you’ll see your progress
It’s nice to hear that studies are being done on Heart Failure /keto . I’ve been Ketovore for 5 months. Having cake only on my birthday/anniversary (I need to stop that ) . I’m working on reversing congestive heart failure /non-ischemic cardiomyopathy with an extremely low Ejection fraction & a Left bundle branch block. Hopefully it goes well
see Ben Bickman's vids on insulin resistance. That is the ultimate cause of many major diseases.
Try Kelly Hogan’s oopsie cake. It carnivore and terrific
There are keto options for your birthday to use on your birthday.
@@marlenegold280 great idea!
I'm trying to reverse CHF too. Praying this will improve my ejection faction and fatigue.
LOVED this conversation from these two inspiring healers!!!
