Dr. Berry changed my life. I found him first when i was so sick in the hospital. Here i am 7 months later, 70 pounds lighter, reversed high BP, IBS, and pre diabetes. Plus a few other problems. I take 0 meds today. ❤ Thank you for having him on your channel, Doc! ❤❤❤❤❤😊
I and my wife was on the lion diet just eat salt n meat and lots of water but we wasn't pooping for like a week n I realize if I included seasoning or carbs I Will poop do you know why ?
My two favorite...... and most trusted..... low carb/keto/carnivore doctors....... because....... they are REAL doctors...... who do research and treat patients and get actual results...... without supplements. They advocate eating real natural unprocessed food !!!!
My N of 1 During the extreme lockdown here in the Philippines, January 2021 I was obese type 2, 94Kg/207lbs, (I’m only 5’6”) with pre-diabetes and high blood pressure. I was suffering from metabolic syndrome. I understood the comorbidity I had as a 57 year old would greatly affect me if I contracted the Rona. I had to lose fat, reverse hypertension, reverse my NAFLD and reduce my HbA1c. Sitting in my armchair at the beginning of lockdown I saw that the keto/ketovore/carnivore diet claimed it could ‘cure’ my ailments. I watched a bunch of videos and tried to understand the linked papers supporting the claims. End result was that it simply made a lot of sense to me. After procrastinating for a couple of weeks I saw a video by Ken D Berry, MD where he said ‘Just do it’! … so I did 🤓 8 months later, whilst still sitting in my armchair (most of the time). I had lost the 30kg/66lbs of fat that was required to get me down to a ‘normal’ BMI, I GREATLY improved my blood pressure to the point it raised my wife’s eyebrows, she’s a First Responder. My blood sugar was well back in to the ‘normal’ range and I vastly reduced inflammation. I also reversed IBS that had controlled my life for 40 years (I lost jobs because of it), got rid of decades long debilitating heartburn, my Testosterone went up drastically and I stopped snoring … my wife is happy 🤓 I was ‘foggy’ & forgetful, I sometimes also slurred my words and forgot what I was talking about mid sentence, possible early stage MCI ? This has completely reversed! Undiagnosed but recognised by my family I got out of a bad case of lockdown depression. A few months ago I further decided to cut out most vegetables from my meat heavy Keto WOE, only adding on occasion a little onion, garlic, green peppers and tomato for some flavour… always salting to taste. Improvements are continuing with a pace with better mental health, blood markers, skin conditions (skin tags have also disappeared) etc. Most recently I have noticed pain improving in my back associated with osteoporosis in my lower spine. I don’t sweat like I did earlier in life, slimmer or overweight. Also I am using old prescription glasses as I can see through them better, eye floaters are disappearing… possible eyesight improvements? Simply eating nutrient dense meat, HEAVY in animal fat, eggs, seafood, salmon … single ingredient real food is all it took … Whilst cutting out processed food, sugar/carbohydrates and seed/‘vegetable’ oils and most dairy. We THRIVE when eating our evolved, species specific Proper Human Diet along with some intermittent fasting to mimic the way our ancestors survived. I’m sure there are thousands upon thousands of people that have similar anecdotal stories to tell … Please tell them … get the message out there!
N=2, from a Malaysian. Eat loads of meat everyday and reduced my carb intake greatly, and limit it to dinner mostly, I lost most of my fat and gained muscle, acne gone, dandruff gone
Wow what a beautiful story! Thank you for sharing and giving beginners HOPE. I found over time that tomatoes and peppers which I also used as flavor enhancers would trigger old arthritis pains periodically, so I’ve ended up tossing them out. Now I’m experimenting with my coffee and cream. The cream may be my next throw away. Your journey (and mine) are testimonies to the faithfulness of Dr Berry and Dr Westman as they courageously battle the big Food, big Pharma industries which have polluted the practice of medicine. I enjoyed hearing your inspiring message. I am 69 and move and feel like a 19 year old thanks to stumbling onto Dr Berrys early talks about hyperinsulinemia.
@@barblacy619 Great stuff !!! I use the flavours less and less and I move forward … Being an old Brit I spent 50 plus years drinking tea with milk and sugar and couldn’t stomach any other way … I replaced it with black coffee, it’s the only way I can drink it !
I am a Nurse Practitioner and don’t practice by following the guidelines, obviously because I follow the 2 of you! I started reading Preventative Magazine when I was a teenager and I’m constantly learning new things to improve caring for my patients. I’ve always told my patients that food is medicine. I struggle everyday working in “the system”, getting penalized for not prescribing statins and for trying to teach my patients how to change the way they eat. I refer them to your channels all the time to support what I tell them in the office
I wish I could find a really good practitioner that will no yell at me for following the carnivore lifestyle- my natural path lost her mind ! Lol 😂 I’m still following feel great and losing weight
I’m a colon cancer survivor of over 2 years now. I am still in the every 4 month check up phase and I just had one. Been 98% carnivore most of the time. A little fruit and local honey. Perfect results. My oncologist said I’m doing great and prescribed the Mediterranean diet. I just smiled and shook my head. I couldn’t believe he was telling a person with NO colon to eat this way. Nuts, seeds and veggies wreck havoc on me. They look the same coming out as going in and hurt like hell so I for one KNOW they are doing nothing for us. I’m a walking experiment. Can’t wait for the final appointment when I can advise HIM on what should be advised to eat. Ty for the both of you!!!!
Don't wait until you're finished to help the oncologist learn the truth! Talking to them about the information you've found could mean they don't recommend the wrong thing to other people who might then suffer because of it. Let them know what you've found, who you heard it from, and if possible give them a copy of the studies that prove it (either physical or digital) Congratulations on your success beating cancer and good luck going forward
@@jcmorgan26 you cant win them with studies, studies are a clusterfuck of their own. they recommend the mediterranean diet because people there have the highest life expectancy. no study will counter that though (and also fact). just that those metastduies and correlations dont have to be because of the mediterranean diet. culture, sun-exposure, fish, how clean is their fish, air-quality, etc. might also play a role. thats why most studies (which are metastudies) are useless. they dont isolate correlations so they simply CANT make conclusions. just helpful for educated guesses.
Carnivore used to be called the elimination diet. You ate it for a week and reintroduced other foods and if you had a reaction, you don't eat that food anymore. It's what used to be used to find out if your gluten, fructose or dairy intolerant. It's actually really clever.
Drkenberry is saving my husband & my life at age 58 and 60 years old . We have been doing it almost 2 weeks after finding out my Hypothyroidism was off again and my husband's Blood sugar AC1 was 6.8 back in march 2023 But they didnt say anything until recently when he hit 8.9 AIC TEST . I Told him my husband We sre starting KETO OUR SON & DILS have been doing keto for almost 3yrs . I was not sure it was for us . Well today getting on the scale I was 19 pounds down CUTTING ALL SUGAR & CARBS GOD BLESS YOU !
Dr Westman was there helping when I started in 2006. He’s consistent with his low carb message and proven that it works. Dr Berry continues to spread the message far and wide. Because of you guys and many others, I’m 66, no meds 15+ years Keto(Atkins Induction) and 3 years Carnivore. Thanks docs for common sense.
In January of 1992 I was 18 years old. I thought a calorie was a calorie. My Aunt gave me an old, weathered paperback copy of Dr. Atkins Diet Revolution. My Mom and I tried it together. This was before any frankenfoods were available. I remember making jello and whipping our own cream for dessert. We lost a lot of weight. Through the years restricting carbs has been the only way I’ve been able lose any large amounts of weight.
I too found Atkins by chance in 1998 when I was 23. So glad I did as it saved me from an adulthood of SAD and all the associated sicknesses. I've been carnivore now for 2 yrs and love it more every day.
Dr Berry literally saved my life! In September of 2022 I had the diagnosis that changed my life. I thought I had cancer and found out i was type 2 diabetic.. well I learned I don’t have cancer but I fell into a deep depression and was contemplating su*cide. I started researching how to fix my problem and found dr berry’s videos and it gave me hope. I told a friend “I refuse to be another statistic!” Thank you for all you do Dr Berry.
Carnivore has healed so much for me! I started off carnivore in hopes to reverse my fibrocystic breast masses that have built up over 6 years eating half a dry skinless chicken breast piece a day with half cup of broccoli and little bit of wheat noodles. We are told don’t eat very much meat- so the world is almost vegan just about. I would eat red canbbage too- cooked it and ate cabbage about 3 times a week. That was about it. So I was mainly chicken, broccoli, and little wheat noodles. So from age 40-46 I started getting all that “aging” health issue mess- and the fibrocystic breast “disease” started and kept building up! When I hit age 46 I was done with it! The fibrocystic masses were getting me scares- and I started getting huge painful breast cysts too! One was around 2” long and 1” wide! Docs would say, “we don’t know what causes fibrocystic breasts disease” and “fibrocystic breasts is now normal because everyone is getting it” and “fibrocystic breast could turn into cancer” and “there is nothing you can do for fibrocystic breasts” and “diet doesn’t cause fibrocystic breasts!” I was gaining weight too and by summer of 2022 I hit perimenopause at age 46 and got every symptom you could think of. My joints were hurting too, no sleep at night, dizzy at times, it was ridiculous! I know it had to be diet! Little did I know that all the other health issues I had all my life, in addition to this mess listed above, was all due to diet! I went searching online and found the truth of my fibrocystic problem! Found out cruciferous veggies (broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, and asparagus) are all cruciferous veggies that block natural iodine absorption found in foods! And if you become depleted in iodine it messes up your thyroid which controls all- even hormones! And all organs need iodine including breasts! They swell if you are deficient! And I read these cruciferous veggies can cause cancer due to lack of iodine in body since they block absorption! Bingo! We are all being told to eat cruciferous veggies, that they can prevent cancer, and to eat lots of it including broccoli!! But in fact they are causing cancer and I truly feel it is causing all the fibrocystic breast cases that have been escalating lately that we are seeing! When I post about this and ladies write back saying they too had fibrocystic breasts, I ask, “do you eat cruciferous veggies, especially broccoli” and they all have said, “YES!” I did more research and found carnivore! I Jumped right in! In 6-8 weeks I lost 45 pounds! My perimenopause reversed! In fact don’t even get PMS symptoms and my cycle is perfectly paced! And so much more reversed that I started writing it down! And yes, my fibrocystic breast masses shrank! I share my progress because I want people to see how carnivore can heal so much and most of these things are commonly healed for many, not just me! I want to help and this is how I do- by sharing. No I am not paid to do this, I just want to help people see and be aware of what carnivore can do! I do update this list as I have been on carnivore (more lion diet version) for 1 year and 4 months now. I feel this has helped so many decide if they should try carnivore. I always say go watch Dr. Baker, Dr. Chaffee, and Dr. Berry- my three most favorite doctors. They are truly amazing! I call them my carnivore doctors! ☺️ * No more perimenopause- completely reversed! *Period cycles all timed perfect with 4 week intervals.And no PMS symptoms, but only the actual menstrual cycle itself! *No more night sweats *No more waking every 2 hours at night! *It used to take me 20 minutes or longer to fall asleep at night when I would first go to bed at night- before carnivore. Now it takes like a minute or less. Haven’t noticed since I am out fast! *No more life long eczema *No more cold hands (may have been Reynold’s disease, never diagnosed.) *No more cold body temp in general! Used to feel like a reptile - only warm in texas sun. (may have been Raynaud’s disease, never diagnosed.) *No more IBS symptoms (gas, bloating, stomach pain, constipation, diarrhea) *No more feeling low energy by 12pm and zombie by 4pm *No more purple looking hands in winter (may have been Raynaud’s disease, never diagnosed.) *No more brain fog *No more arthritis that I felt in hands, knees, and hips- or elbows *used to have sore hips when sleeping on my side. No more! *Lost 45+ pounds from former baby weight and peri menopause weight. *Always had 20/20 vision with slight stigmatism- but in March doctor said my stigmatism is reversing! *Don’t sunburn as easily anymore and tan well. *Wrinkles around eyes seem to be much less. I am 47 and look like I am in early 30’s. *Gums look super healthy. Dentist seems irritated as my teeth are not dirty when cleaning every six months. Think they know they won’t make money off me. *No more sore chest from monthly periods- no swelling feeling of fullness or discomfort that prevented me from sleeping on my stomach. Now I sleep every night on my stomach! *Fibrocystic Breast issues reversing! Almost all gone after 6 years of buildup! *no cravings unless they are for meat *no more angina symptoms before a period- which started about 3 years ago. *No more feeling weak like almost passing out and dizzy around ovulation and periods when walking around. * no more fingers swelling- that started a few years ago- rings kept being tight- is pattern I noticed. One ring I had resized larger and it’s super loose now. Will have to resize smaller. *feel stronger- now lifting barbells not just hands weights. Dr. Baker said since I am 46, and 5’7” at 122lbs- need more resistance training to add more muscle weight. . So bought a 47lb barbell off Amazon and have 90 extra pounds added to it. Will continue to progress with that. *Before carnivore- i had started growing grey hairs in one of my eyebrows, few hairs at a time, but no grey in my blonde hair yet - but assumed it was coming. Now on carnivore I have had no new grey hairs growing in eye brows and still no grey hair in my natural blonde hair. And in the sun it gets super light highlights. * no more body odor! * I used to get a little anxiety with large crowds- like if attending special events- but since on carnivore I don’t get it that much. *I was a bit OCD before carnivore, but so much more relaxed so barely like that. * I was a relaxed person before, but somehow am even more relaxed and never stress about things. *Since I was a young child my sense of smell has been terrible. But not even a month in on carnivore my sense of smell has gone crazy! I smell things even far away! Amazing! *no more allergies! I was allergic to cedar and oak pollens- and mold- but since carnivore I am no longer reacting to those outdoor pollens which is amazing! * I have had no more issues from ear wax build up. Had it twice after having kids and docs would say it was a hormonal problem. Carnivore cured that too! *Veins in my arms look healthier. They were almost invisible before. *Legs no longer hurt on longer road trips or plane rides! *I used to get a popping sounds in my right shoulder when lifting weights. Was probably a pulled ligament. That is now gone! *I have been lactose intolerant since I was a kid, and I feel my nails are a bit stronger than before. They do break if I catch them on things but I feel they are getting stronger on carnivore. *My teeth look more white on carnivore. *My blood pressure has improved on carnivore. 6 years before carnivore up to starting carnivore my blood pressure was increasing. Now on carnivore it is back to normal like when I was younger. Last reading it was 100/75 which is awesome! *i used to get eye twitches in my eye lids, but that is gone. * at times when trying to fall asleep I would close my eyes and at times felt dizzy like falling feeling or spinning. But haven’t has that since I have been on carnivore for 12 months. *the skin on the heals of my feet are no longer cracked and dry! *little leak from sneezing or coughing that ladies get from estrogen dominance is gone on carnivore! Hormones balanced so no more estrogen dominance! *The top inner corner of both my larger toes have felt a little numb for years. Never had it diagnosed. But being 1 year on carnivore I no longer feel that numbness! My nerves have healed in that spot on both toes! Crazy! *My slightly receding gums behind my center bottom front teeth have rebuilt so gums all over are super healthy! I have flossed daily for years, but gums look even healthier! *my skin on my face isn’t as oily as it used to be. *My hair used to be super oily if not washed daily, but carnivore has regulated my hair so I can now go days without having to wash it- doesn’t get oily after one day like before! (Newest update added!) So there you go! ☺️ I hope this helps people on their journey to fins out what works for them! Carnivore is working for everyone that tries. Go watch Dr. Baker, Dr. Chaffee, and Dr. Berry! And go visit Kerry’s channel at Homesteadhow! We love him too! ☺️
excellent. Aside from the veggies causing the cancer, cancer feeds on sugar. Cut the veggies and the sugar. I don't have nearly all these issues. I have joint pain, back pain, hoshimoto's (Thyroid) and type 1 diabetes. I doubt the type 1 will be cured, but I'm hoping for the rest. I'm going for BBB+E (Beef, bacon, butter and eggs), of course I have venison and chicken as well, but zero carbs going forward starting from dinner last night. Doctors have been telling me not to do carnivore for years. I'm done listening to them.
For me, the biggest difference between carnivore and keto is that carnivore doesn’t require willpower on an ongoing basis like keto does. The cravings are completely gone, and I have no desire to go off program. I also feel a bit better without the veggies compared to keto, but the fact that I’m not continuously tempted to have a “cheat day” on carnivore like I was on keto gives me a lot of hope for being able to maintain it long term. I’m down 60 lbs and 6” so far since August (I spent 2 months of tapering down through LCHF and keto from the SAD, carnivore since October). My chronic fatigue is gone, I feel incredible, and I have Drs. Berry and Chaffee to thank for convincing me to take the carnivore plunge.
I and my wife was on the lion diet just eat salt n meat and lots of water but we wasn't pooping for like a week n I realize if I included seasoning or carbs I Will poop do you know why ?
@@Thaddeus-ml8ifit’s changed, but my body has settled on 2 meals a day. 1st is a bigger mostly fat meal. Like ground beef with lots of better and boiled egg yolks. The 2nd is more of meat, like a cheap cut of steak/chicken thighs. Butter. Lots of pink salt.
Poor Dr. Atkins. He never got the recognition he deserved. He’s up there in the heavens wagging his finger saying “ I told you so.” My mother had all of his books on the bookshelves in our living room when I was a kid growing up in the 70s and 80s.
its too bad h3 died early. He fell and cracked his head. False rumors that he died of heart attack. Can you imagine if he was still alive to continue his work.
Love both of you doctors!! This is a very informative video!! I'm excited about the benefits I have seen from carnivore, and am glad to see research picking up on keto and carnivore!! I'm 71 and feel so much better than I have in over 20 years! Am no longer type 2 diabetic, lost my excess weight, fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome are almost gone, anxiety and depression are much better, and I am now off 7 of my 11 long term prescriptions!! That's why doctors don't want people doing this! Except for ones like y'all who really care about HELPING PEOPLE GET HEALTHY!! THANKS SO MUCH FOR ALL YOU DO!! GOD BLESS YOU BOTH!! ❤🤗🙏
Hi there...we're the same age and my fibro's gone completely as has my arthritis pain.......been carnivore 8 mths now and feeling great.......I do about 20 mins a day "core" exercises that I found very helpful ( many utube videos on them)......best of luck to you
I ran into a family friend after 8 months carnivore. She asked - I’d lost 60 pounds - and I told her Bacon Eggs Beef and what I had learned ON MY OWN. She’s a degreed Nutritionist married to a GI specialist. She said, “WE were never taught that!”
Great video. Both of you have been very influential in me changing my dietary routine. I've been doing carnivore now for eight weeks and I've lost 16 pounds. When asked about my diet I tell people that I am vegan; I only eat animals that eat grass.
I think the fact you’re here making a very clear and concise comment on this video shows you’re still pretty damn sharp and still very much with us! I wish you many more years of good health!
Please focus on living and not the end. Eat well, exercise, rest. You a living wealth of experience. Share your experiences with everyone. A big hug from me my dear friend😊
I sent a different video about this to my 80 year old mom. I started Carnivore yesterday and will try to convince her today to try it for 30 days and see what's what.
@@Recken1 Make sure that her digestion is working properly(enough of stomach acid & bile flowing nicely) before starting carnivore .Otherwise, it will be a nightmare of constipation, hemorrhoids, gallbladder struggling with fat, etc,..
Im 86 and want to thank you for sharing your education of healthy diet...one week now on carnivore foods. Enjoying it as well. No more water pills, big improvement on elimination, no indigestion. I am shocked to tears. Doing my exercise for my age feeling awesome...Dr Berry has totally my devotion trust and appreciation...wonderful to see you both supporting this healthy way of eating...in Fl 6 months, Tn 6 months.....♥️
Day 2 carnivore here. Was keto for 7 months in 2022 and lost 70 lbs because I wanted to reverse diabetes. I did. 2023 I went back to eating carbs and put it all back on. I feel better already 1 day into carnivore
@@rhondajennings517 - As newbie carnivore and not a particularly disciplined one. I had more cheating moments than I should mention. As in all experiences, the end uptake is what really matters. With that said. One of the things that surprised me a lot. Was the quick back and forth either in the good or the bad directions. One day is all that's needed. Many times just a few hours!! Even than I refer to carnivore with the word MIRACLE! ;-)
Thank you both for such an awesome conversation! I just love when Dr Berry gets on a roll, he is always so aware of who he is speaking to and their audience! He always says you’ve got to fix your on shit before talking to others, and this time out of respect for Dr Westman he changed it to fix your own health!Dr Berry is on a journey to help as many people as he can , and he’s winning!
I have the hard copy of Dr. Adkins book. Its all marked up. I've been carnivore off and on the last year. Lost 60 + pounds. My husband who has no weight issues, but is diabetic, is always wanting meala that are high carb. I find myself falling off the wagon for a day or two. I fight hard not to completely give up. Winter is especially hard it seems. Thank God warmer weather around the corner. I wish i could get other family members on board. Have lost so many family and friends since 2020. I love listening to you all. My psoriasis have improved, and so has arthritis. Im 65 and doing good. Recent blood work seemed iffy but im just gonna keep going . It has to be better for me than other forms of eating.
Keep at it, Ketovore/carnivore lifestyle works. My a1c went from 10.6 to 5.4 in 4 months a long with 80 lbs of weight loss. This is with no medication, my high blood pressure is gone as well. I just had another set of labs done at 6 months and stellar. I eat salt, real butter, and all the protein I can eat, drink only water and black coffee and feel amazing. April 28th will be a year since I started my lifestyle change. Yes there are times when I will eat what I shouldn't because I don't want to be impolite or seemingly difficult to satisfy but I go back to eating the proper human diet as soon as possible.
Thank you both for this awesome educational opportunity. Practicing podiatrist for for 25 continuous years practicing carnivore for 6 years. You truly helped me to understand how to communicate this to my patients. It has been such a frustration to effectively teach this to my patients, thank you so very much for a wonderful new way to approach this. Sincerely one of the best UA-cam lectures this year. I will be sharing with all my patients.
Growing up I always felt bad after eating certain vegetables. At school, I had a teacher who forced us to eat all our veggies, and some of them made me feel bad. No one believed me that the veggies were causing problems. Now that I'm on my own I only eat a few veggies that don't cause me problems. Everyone tells me I need to eat more veggies, but I don't listen to them.
I'm 76 years old. I followed Dr Adkins in the 90 s . Have been on Keto for three years lost 60 lbs I'm on this train for life. This presentation absolutely blew me away. I was glued to it..I learned so much. Simply the best presentation ever 😊
You two are my fav Docs! I have been on Keto for the last year and half and have just started carnivore (1 week in). Amazing improvements in my overall health and well-being. I had been following Dr. Berry, but just found Dr. Westman this week, who practices in my neck of the woods. As a retired biomedical scientist, I’ve always believed that nutrition was the primary mode of prevention medicine. I’m thrilled that you two are bringing the awareness to the rest of the world.
Thank you Docs! I’ve got a little ADHD but I think I could listen to you two talk for hours without doing 3 other things. You both have been so influential in my health journey. Stay curious for a better world.
What a great talk! I love Dr Berry’s enthusiasm, it just doesn’t quit. Both of you have helped to change my life and I’m so grateful. Keep up your wonderful work. I’ve lost 60 lbs and feel as though I’m actually getting younger. This is a wonderful way to live.
Dr. Berry is one of my HEROES!! I lost over 55 pounds and I am off insulin and A1C says NOT diabetic!! Since January 2024!! I have suffered for a dozen years with this illness and what comes with it! Thanks Dr. Berry
My oldest daughter is same way hashimoto and she is autistic. 14 years old and will not eat veggies or fruit. Just some pasta and only chicken 🍗. She is doing amazing 🙏 now and dr.berry and his lovely wife helped me figure out how to help my baby . She is so smart tested high in college reading, business. She works with graphic designing . She got her future already mapped out by 12 .
Been keto/ ketovore/carnivore for two years now. Went from 260 to 170 pounds so far! Still working on getting rid of the last 35 pounds of unwanted/unneeded body bulk! After trying plant based whole food diet, in which I saw NO improvement whatsoever, to wondering what else I could do to lose weight and possibly improve my health. That’s when I found Dr. Berry and nurse Neisha! I listened and learned, then took the dive into a new lifestyle! I feel better than I have in at least 35 of my 65 years! In every way! 😊
You are both my favorite Keto/Carnivore resources. I have bought and shared your books with many folks in my family. I am Keto, off high blood pressure, cholesterol meds and allergy meds. Taking an acid reducer once in a while. Down 40!
I went to the doctor yesterday to discuss the results of my most recent A1c. I was told I have officially gone from prediabetes to diabetes. My doctor immediately told me he wanted to put me on 500 mg of Metformin. I asked him if I could control it through diet and taking berberine in the short term. He had never heard of berberine and insisted I needed to take the Metformin. In fact, he said some thing that blew my mind. He said he takes Metformin every day supplementally and he’s not even diabetic! What the crap!
I 've used Berberine occassionally especially when i was keto ( i know now it was 'dirty keto) replacing sugary cakes etc with 'keto friendly versions' of sugar substitutions. I noticed the Berberine helped with cravings and seemed to kick start weight loss if i stalled. I don't know why but its what i observed. Looking at research on Berberine, seems its a natural 'metformin' - maybe try the Berberine for a couple months and judge for yourself (?) I'm now Carnivore ( 1 ingredient foods) better than anything i've tried before
My favourite quote right now is from Dr Jordan Peterson, who’s whole family solved their autoimmune issues through carnivore…he states that he and his family’s outcomes are certainly anecdotal but when you have thousands of anecdotes, you now have an hypothesis. I just wish food science could see the logic in that. In the meantime, please keep doing what you do, it’s important.
I’m two days into the carnivore diet. Jings who knew I’d feel so full up after my second meal of the day. Yesterday I had breakfast at 11 (I sleep late. I can do that since I’m 74 and 3 days old 😂) I had my next meal at 3pm (chicken breast from a chicken I’d roasted plus crispy streaky bacon). Didn’t eat for the rest of the day!!!! Breakfast today was 1130! Breakfast yesterday and today - 4 rashers of streaky bacon. Cooked and removed from pan. 3 eggs scrambled n cooked in bacon fat residue. Oh so tasty. I’m so glad I found out about this eating plan on 29/12/23. Shock horror I even stood on the scales yesterday 😱 so that I would know how much I’ve lost when I get around to weighing in at the end of January. Was an eye opener and brought a tear to my eye 😉. I’d just been gauging my weight from how my clothes fit and going up a dress size in 50+ years. Thanks guys for your motivation.
Thank you for this video! I love and have recently subscribed to your UA-cam I found Dr Ken Berry back in May of this year and started carnivore. Now we’re in December of 2023 and although I was not considered obese, I’ve lost about 30 lbs and many little health issues have improved for me. This is definitely a lifestyle change for me and I’ve been sharing the message with family and friends.
I can truly resonate with both your stories and journey. I am a Plastic Surgeon who started to be curious in 2015 and ventured personally in LC diet in 2018. After 12 months I was able to lose 12 kg. Occasionally I teach my patients; over time I stopped doing liposuction and started telling patients that liposuction is not the solution to obesity.
Thankyou gentleman. I'm not overweight, when I was I lost it through exercise, and I've been on a clean food diet since I had my first child. My IBS and other problems remain. I've recently felt a resurgence in my Hashimoto's and it's worried me. I'm going to go as close to a carnivorous as I can, and maintain a diet log. Seeing is believing; so I'll see what happens!
Anyone else find it highly annoying that there is a gar-de-ance commercials on any of dr berry videos. Big pharma is doing there best, Dr Berry you are doing great work!
Your reference to deer made me think of living on the ranch. They grew corn and grains to pile up and ferment to make silage for the cattle and sheep. Young deer would line up to eat this silage and they would crap themselves to death all the while gorging on this silage. Yet the older deer were always seen out in the fields browsing on the remnants of the harvested fields, baled hay or in the timber. Seemed a fitting metaphor for what humans are doing.
Been keto but mainly carnivore for 18 months and stalled after 6 months for a year, started cycling psmf every other day and broke my stall. You guys are both awesome 🙂
Carnivore is way way easier to stick to than keto for many people because a little bit of carbs will cause carb cravings which doesn't have in carnivore
I'm 200lbs; 5'9" with a 32" waist. I had a doctor tell me I was obese because BMI said so. I asked him to calculate the BFP and he refused because the CDC said to use BMI. That isn't medicine.
Now ketovore..I think, phps 6 weeks, elbow pain gone, knee pain much less, not pooing 5x before 6am any more, mood better, energy better ... Great relief ...I thought my increasing arthritis was gona stop me working .. whoohoooo🎉😲🙌..and Huzzah!! Thanks chaps and ladies ...my Angels ❤❤❤❤❤❤
You are the king of carnivore to me Dr. Berry! You give so much free information to us. Ive healed so much, most importantly arthritis and crippling anxiety. Thank you and Dr. Westman for this podcast!
Thanks be to Eric and Ken. I fell off the low carb/keto wagon the last few months of last year. What a disaster to the way I felt. I’m back with a vengeance and just feel so much better - almost instantly. The fewer carbs I eat, the better I feel.
As a biologist with interests in evolution and ecology, I appreciate Dr. Berry's evolutionary approach to things. In my opinion, a solid background in science grounds a perspective and gets rid of lots of, in Ken Berry's words, "foolishness". Even before I went low carb I saw lots of foolishness in the modern food and medical systems. Since I have been very active most of my life, I have been able to eat a mixed diet, though I have mostly eaten whole foods and have not eaten much junk food. I was always healthy. In my late 50's I went low carb to fix high blood pressure, and it worked. I got off the one medication I was on. I have my brother to thank as he told me how it helped him. I think I was just beginning to get insulin sensitive even though my blood glucose was always excellent. Recently I heard Dr. Berry give an excellent short talk about the difference in primary and secondary causes of blood pressure. It provided lots of clarity and provided a very good starting point to fix things. I don't understand how, as a person who had high blood pressure, why I didn't hear this before. It makes me even more irritated with modern health system. My advice is to be both open minded and sceptical. When I see influencers flit from one thing to another, focusing on the small panaceas that get forgotten in short order, in my mind it means they haven't had enough grounding in big picture stuff.
My wife and I are just starting ketovore after listening to Dr. Berry. He makes a lot of sense, but it’s difficult to go against everything we’ve been taught for so long. I’m a pretty good judge of character and he seems pretty genuine, but I haven’t actually met him. I wish I didn’t have this little voice telling me not to trust blindly.
Don’t listen to that little voice… it’s the devil… No but seriously, I’m 54 year old female and I got to the place that I was desperate and to me it was “try or die” because I just wanted to die I felt so bad with auto immune and severe inflammation and pain. I have been eating only fatty meat,liver, suet, real butter, cheese, heavy cream. My inflammation is 90 percent improved! Auto immune problems the same if not gone. I only take occasional magnesium and vitamin D and I drink only water and have pinches of pink mineral salt throughout the day. Don’t be afraid.
Take a look at how you feel, how your clothes fit, how your level of energy is. Then have a look at your medical labs. Check Dr. Berry on recommended labs for a person on keto -carnivore. You will see definite improvement. Let that be a well-spoken, informed -by-evidence voice in your head. It will educate and silence that “little voice”.
Don’t trust blindly. Follow the research. Another person to listen to his Georgia Ede. Shawn Baker’s site is mostly individual success stories. But listen to the vegetarians too. Both sides are successful mostly for what they don’t eat. I lost 80 lbs on keto, so I’m biased, but keep listening and reading to decide for yourself what’s best for your body. Good luck!
Dr. Westman you’re local to me; I’m eventually going to find a way to have a sit down with you medically someday. I’m day 27 Carnivore and I’m a disabled veteran; still have issues lingering but patience is what I’m understanding is needed. Thanks for pushing America in the right direction; honestly you have done more for this country than any politician. I know you’re humble and don’t like the credit but regardless of your intentions you stood up screaming the truth and now a small portion is listening and I feel compelled to stand up and yell! I’m no doctor and my wife works at chapel hill so I have to be tactful at times but I’ll never shut my mouth on this.
Why not jump right into Carnivore? Do it for 30 days and I know you won’t want to stop. Don’t be afraid, just eat as much yummy meats till you feel full as a goog- keep some extras in the fridge in case you get peckish in the beginning and only cheat either way meat or dairy. You can do this. Down the track if you cheat with something sugary, like my husband did, it will make you feel sick in the tummy and you won’t want to do it again - jump in - it’s World Carnivore Month 😍
You got this, follow Dr Berry and use search to get to his videos on any topic you might come up with questions on. Also catch the Monday night live, most people in the comments are very supportive, and the mods are very smart and helpful. There's more out there, Dr Chafee, Bart Kay, Dr Sean O'mara, etc.
Start slowly, just start reducing carbs a little at a time and replace the carbs with meat and eggs. It might take 30-90 days to make smooth transition to keto/ketovore/carnivore.
On the UA-cam / Dr Berg thing: I was not one of Dr. Berg's subscribers (some of his stuff is a little to woo-woo for me), but his videos used to be suggested to me frequently and I did watch them occasionally. I only became aware of his censoring concerns when I saw Dr. Westman's reaction video about it, and I realized I hadn't seen Dr. Berg's videos pop up in my feed for a long time. I suspect his videos had been reported by other users for whatever reason and his channel might have been affected. I do think I saw fewer keto/carnivore channels generally for awhile, but that seems to have resolved and now I'm seeing all kinds of carnivore channels, including some I've never seen before. I subscribe to both Dr Berry and Dr Westman so their videos were never censored from my feed. Maybe there was a change in how the algorithm tries to guess users' interests, rather than a concerted effort to quash keto or carnivore channels. When a vegan tells me we don't have fangs and this means we aren't meant to eat meat, I tell them they'd better sit down because I'm gonna show them some pictures of a gorilla's giant fangs, and I'd like them to explain to me what those fangs are for, since we all know gorillas are herbivores. They don't know how to answer that question. Of course their fangs don't prescribe their diet, just as our flat teeth don't mean our GI tract is designed for cellulose.
I call my diet...Mediterranean Keto. Almost zero processed food. Hunger is almost non existent. I did every diet in the world...nothing worked...until I tried Keto...CARNIVORE BABY!
Thank you for this great balanced discussion. Could not appreciate the end dicussion about passing the information through the modern "campfire." I was so crippled until yt videos brought a diet change. Am working my way back to better after poor choices and deceptions in every area of life. It does come back to fixing the beam in my eye before addressing the splinter in the person next to me. Best part of growing older is waking up to truths like every day can be an eye opener. Am grateful for both of you, your courage, your different lanes, and respect for individuals.
I started low carb diet a year ago and my constant anxiety has vanished. And I've had the pleasure of buying a new wardrobe because clothes no longer fit right. I put all my trust in Dr. Westman, Dr. Berry and Dr. Boz.
My two favorite doctors! I love listening and learning from both of you! You have changed my life and heath! Thank-you for your mission in helping the world to see it does matter what we eat! Merry Christmas!
I'm one of these people that can't have greens. It flares up my chronic sinus inflammation, my nasal polyps swell and I can't smell, taste or breathe anymore. Same with dairy, can't do it. It sucks, but I'd rather breathe, smell and taste. I also suffer from insomnia, periods cramps and I can't lose weight unless I do carnivore. I think I'm a mixture of Neisha and Dr Berry xD need zero carbs + no greens. :( I keep getting silenced when I try to tell people that are suffering from obesity and diabetes, ect.... about keto and carnivore. It sucks. Every time I go out with my mom, she tells me not to talk about it because it offends people and it does. They look at me like I'm nuts and laugh at me. It's hard to share. :(
I stated keto/anti inflammatory life style few year back. I was diagnosed with osteoporosis. Now I aim to increase daily protein and leaning towards carnivore. People, the vegans I know get upset that I eat meat…and that someone told me not to talk about it.
Yup, same here. I have found some people get very angry when I mention about sugar. I’ve finally concluded it like telling a drug addict to stop taking their drug. Their brain can’t handle it.
@@glassdaft omg I know. I just told my buddy to cut carbs and he told me to go research human physiology LOL i told him well.... bud... diabetes is basically glucose toxicity... so if you cut out the glucose, it will resolve the toxicity. It's not rocket science.
Absolutely one of my favorite interviews. I am going to share this. I will put it out there and perhaps someone will watch and their eyes become opened. My two favorite doctors on UA-cam because they have the experience and really care.
So gorillas have a different digestive system than humans I would like to know more about their system and how it differs. Please bring on a veterinarian to talk about their training because I have heard that they get a strong nutritional background. They also use their dietary recommendations to help the animals in their healing process. If we can compare the vets training with the MD perhaps we can influence more nutritional training involved with healing humans, My health certainly has improved on the carnivore diet. In the 1960 's- my father was a chemical engineer believed in vitamins - I believe taking vitamins helped me somewhat when I was a teenager. My father's independent attitude also helped me to look into diets and experiment trying to find a healthy lifestyle. Thank you for having Dr. Berry on, he gave me my start in the carnivore diet.
When you go outside of conventional thought it brings along great social and professional hazards. Challenging convention is a seldom recognized act of bravery which is more often met by contempt then thanks . Thank you both.
I was wheeled into urgent care with polyarthralgia on 8/1 this year. Been on carnivore since and am healthiest I’ve been in years. Sent this video to my Dr. looking forward to his response.
If I had to choose doctors that I would say I trust….it would definitely be these 2. I want someone that cares and not one that just wants to make money. Thank you both for all you do. I am a retired nurse of 42 yrs
I started a carnivore channel and on that one I only follow other keto/Carnivore channels. Guess what? My feed is FULL of Carnivore content. Same on this account, though I follow lots of other interests here. Never have I had any indication that this kind of content is being throttled. Imho it started as clickbait. Love you both so much. Thanks for being so authentic and intelligent on here.
Keep up the good work, dear Physicians! Keep speaking the truth, you are making inroads, though it is slow going! I’m glad you are both remaining faithful to your callings! 🎄Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year🕊️! 🎉
We are very fortunate to have doctors scientist philosophers like these two here just listening to them is very inspirational provoking, and now I want to go speak to others about
It is GOOD that doctors get very little nutritional training since nutrition training consists of deeply held religious views on food, not decent clinical trials. It is stunning how little is based on good science.
Dr. Berry changed my life. I found him first when i was so sick in the hospital.
Here i am 7 months later, 70 pounds lighter, reversed high BP, IBS, and pre diabetes. Plus a few other problems.
I take 0 meds today. ❤
Thank you for having him on your channel, Doc! ❤❤❤❤❤😊
I and my wife was on the lion diet just eat salt n meat and lots of water but we wasn't pooping for like a week n I realize if I included seasoning or carbs I Will poop do you know why ?
Prob because they aggravated your gut, usually constipation simply means you are not eating enough fat
@@SamuelEmrit Carnivore gives me the best digestion and regularity that I've experienced. I am not shy about eating fat.
When you don't eat fiber, you don't poop. You absorb everything you eat.@@SamuelEmrit
Wow! That's great
My two favorite...... and most trusted..... low carb/keto/carnivore doctors....... because....... they are REAL doctors...... who do research and treat patients and get actual results...... without supplements. They advocate eating real natural unprocessed food !!!!

My N of 1
During the extreme lockdown here in the Philippines, January 2021 I was obese type 2, 94Kg/207lbs, (I’m only 5’6”) with pre-diabetes and high blood pressure. I was suffering from metabolic syndrome. I understood the comorbidity I had as a 57 year old would greatly affect me if I contracted the Rona. I had to lose fat, reverse hypertension, reverse my NAFLD and reduce my HbA1c.
Sitting in my armchair at the beginning of lockdown I saw that the keto/ketovore/carnivore diet claimed it could ‘cure’ my ailments. I watched a bunch of videos and tried to understand the linked papers supporting the claims. End result was that it simply made a lot of sense to me.
After procrastinating for a couple of weeks I saw a video by Ken D Berry, MD where he said ‘Just do it’! … so I did 🤓
8 months later, whilst still sitting in my armchair (most of the time). I had lost the 30kg/66lbs of fat that was required to get me down to a ‘normal’ BMI, I GREATLY improved my blood pressure to the point it raised my wife’s eyebrows, she’s a First Responder. My blood sugar was well back in to the ‘normal’ range and I vastly reduced inflammation.
I also reversed IBS that had controlled my life for 40 years (I lost jobs because of it), got rid of decades long debilitating heartburn, my Testosterone went up drastically and I stopped snoring … my wife is happy 🤓 I was ‘foggy’ & forgetful, I sometimes also slurred my words and forgot what I was talking about mid sentence, possible early stage MCI ? This has completely reversed! Undiagnosed but recognised by my family I got out of a bad case of lockdown depression.
A few months ago I further decided to cut out most vegetables from my meat heavy Keto WOE, only adding on occasion a little onion, garlic, green peppers and tomato for some flavour… always salting to taste. Improvements are continuing with a pace with better mental health, blood markers, skin conditions (skin tags have also disappeared) etc.
Most recently I have noticed pain improving in my back associated with osteoporosis in my lower spine. I don’t sweat like I did earlier in life, slimmer or overweight. Also I am using old prescription glasses as I can see through them better, eye floaters are disappearing… possible eyesight improvements?
Simply eating nutrient dense meat, HEAVY in animal fat, eggs, seafood, salmon … single ingredient real food is all it took …
Whilst cutting out processed food, sugar/carbohydrates and seed/‘vegetable’ oils and most dairy.
We THRIVE when eating our evolved, species specific Proper Human Diet along with some intermittent fasting to mimic the way our ancestors survived.
I’m sure there are thousands upon thousands of people that have similar anecdotal stories to tell … Please tell them … get the message out there!
GrumpyOldBen, this is wonderful. You must be feeling free now. 👏👏👏
N=2, from a Malaysian. Eat loads of meat everyday and reduced my carb intake greatly, and limit it to dinner mostly, I lost most of my fat and gained muscle, acne gone, dandruff gone
Wow what a beautiful story! Thank you for sharing and giving beginners HOPE.
I found over time that tomatoes and peppers which I also used as flavor enhancers would trigger old arthritis pains periodically, so I’ve ended up tossing them out.
Now I’m experimenting with my coffee and cream. The cream may be my next throw away.
Your journey (and mine) are testimonies to the faithfulness of Dr Berry and Dr Westman as they courageously battle the big Food, big Pharma industries which have polluted the practice of medicine. I enjoyed hearing your inspiring message.
I am 69 and move and feel like a 19 year old thanks to stumbling onto Dr Berrys early talks about hyperinsulinemia.
@@barblacy619
Great stuff !!!
I use the flavours less and less and I move forward …
Being an old Brit I spent 50 plus years drinking tea with milk and sugar and couldn’t stomach any other way … I replaced it with black coffee, it’s the only way I can drink it !
@@grumpyoldben ooh, that sounds so harsh, I will inch my way there….thanks for the tip
I am a Nurse Practitioner and don’t practice by following the guidelines, obviously because I follow the 2 of you! I started reading Preventative Magazine when I was a teenager and I’m constantly learning new things to improve caring for my patients. I’ve always told my patients that food is medicine. I struggle everyday working in “the system”, getting penalized for not prescribing statins and for trying to teach my patients how to change the way they eat. I refer them to your channels all the time to support what I tell them in the office
I became sick from “ healthy eating” and my friends are dead so it’s been quit a roller coaster ride determining what by body requires for food.
@@M13x13MWhat healthy foods are you and your friends eating that are making you sick and killing your friends?
Carbs & sugars, everything that turns into sugars!
I wish I could find a really good practitioner that will no yell at me for following the carnivore lifestyle- my natural path lost her mind ! Lol 😂 I’m still following feel great and losing weight
@@victorianattboy2186It is quite an interesting time. Health food stores are not selling food that is healthy for me.
I’m a colon cancer survivor of over 2 years now. I am still in the every 4 month check up phase and I just had one. Been 98% carnivore most of the time. A little fruit and local honey. Perfect results.
My oncologist said I’m doing great and prescribed the Mediterranean diet. I just smiled and shook my head. I couldn’t believe he was telling a person with NO colon to eat this way. Nuts, seeds and veggies wreck havoc on me. They look the same coming out as going in and hurt like hell so I for one KNOW they are doing nothing for us. I’m a walking experiment.
Can’t wait for the final appointment when I can advise HIM on what should be advised to eat.
Ty for the both of you!!!!
Them you for sharing
Don't wait until you're finished to help the oncologist learn the truth! Talking to them about the information you've found could mean they don't recommend the wrong thing to other people who might then suffer because of it. Let them know what you've found, who you heard it from, and if possible give them a copy of the studies that prove it (either physical or digital)
Congratulations on your success beating cancer and good luck going forward
@@jcmorgan26 you cant win them with studies, studies are a clusterfuck of their own. they recommend the mediterranean diet because people there have the highest life expectancy. no study will counter that though (and also fact). just that those metastduies and correlations dont have to be because of the mediterranean diet. culture, sun-exposure, fish, how clean is their fish, air-quality, etc. might also play a role. thats why most studies (which are metastudies) are useless. they dont isolate correlations so they simply CANT make conclusions. just helpful for educated guesses.
I’ve been low carb for many years but my IBS-C and rosacea are only getting worse. A week of carnivore and I’m already seeing huge improvements.
Carnivore used to be called the elimination diet. You ate it for a week and reintroduced other foods and if you had a reaction, you don't eat that food anymore. It's what used to be used to find out if your gluten, fructose or dairy intolerant. It's actually really clever.
Drkenberry is saving my husband & my life at age 58 and 60 years old .
We have been doing it almost 2 weeks after finding out my Hypothyroidism was off again and my husband's Blood sugar AC1 was 6.8 back in march 2023
But they didnt say anything until recently when he hit 8.9 AIC TEST .
I Told him my husband
We sre starting KETO
OUR SON & DILS have been doing keto for almost 3yrs .
I was not sure it was for us .
Well today getting on the scale I was 19 pounds down
CUTTING ALL SUGAR & CARBS
GOD BLESS YOU !
Dr Westman was there helping when I started in 2006. He’s consistent with his low carb message and proven that it works. Dr Berry continues to spread the message far and wide.
Because of you guys and many others, I’m 66, no meds 15+ years Keto(Atkins Induction) and 3 years Carnivore.
Thanks docs for common sense.
In January of 1992 I was 18 years old. I thought a calorie was a calorie. My Aunt gave me an old, weathered paperback copy of Dr. Atkins Diet Revolution. My Mom and I tried it together. This was before any frankenfoods were available. I remember making jello and whipping our own cream for dessert. We lost a lot of weight. Through the years restricting carbs has been the only way I’ve been able lose any large amounts of weight.
I too found Atkins by chance in 1998 when I was 23. So glad I did as it saved me from an adulthood of SAD and all the associated sicknesses. I've been carnivore now for 2 yrs and love it more every day.
@@jayhoggard92 👍 👍
Dr Berry literally saved my life! In September of 2022 I had the diagnosis that changed my life. I thought I had cancer and found out i was type 2 diabetic.. well I learned I don’t have cancer but I fell into a deep depression and was contemplating su*cide. I started researching how to fix my problem and found dr berry’s videos and it gave me hope. I told a friend “I refuse to be another statistic!” Thank you for all you do Dr Berry.
Me too , on 3 rd day , I’m 79 and also I will not be another statistic put on in selling or met fireman I will cure myself
Carnivore has healed so much for me! I started off carnivore in hopes to reverse my fibrocystic breast masses that have built up over 6 years eating half a dry skinless chicken breast piece a day with half cup of broccoli and little bit of wheat noodles. We are told don’t eat very much meat- so the world is almost vegan just about. I would eat red canbbage too- cooked it and ate cabbage about 3 times a week. That was about it. So I was mainly chicken, broccoli, and little wheat noodles. So from age 40-46 I started getting all that “aging” health issue mess- and the fibrocystic breast “disease” started and kept building up! When I hit age 46 I was done with it! The fibrocystic masses were getting me scares- and I started getting huge painful breast cysts too! One was around 2” long and 1” wide! Docs would say, “we don’t know what causes fibrocystic breasts disease” and “fibrocystic breasts is now normal because everyone is getting it” and “fibrocystic breast could turn into cancer” and “there is nothing you can do for fibrocystic breasts” and “diet doesn’t cause fibrocystic breasts!” I was gaining weight too and by summer of 2022 I hit perimenopause at age 46 and got every symptom you could think of. My joints were hurting too, no sleep at night, dizzy at times, it was ridiculous! I know it had to be diet! Little did I know that all the other health issues I had all my life, in addition to this mess listed above, was all due to diet!
I went searching online and found the truth of my fibrocystic problem! Found out cruciferous veggies (broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, and asparagus) are all cruciferous veggies that block natural iodine absorption found in foods! And if you become depleted in iodine it messes up your thyroid which controls all- even hormones! And all organs need iodine including breasts! They swell if you are deficient! And I read these cruciferous veggies can cause cancer due to lack of iodine in body since they block absorption! Bingo! We are all being told to eat cruciferous veggies, that they can prevent cancer, and to eat lots of it including broccoli!! But in fact they are causing cancer and I truly feel it is causing all the fibrocystic breast cases that have been escalating lately that we are seeing! When I post about this and ladies write back saying they too had fibrocystic breasts, I ask, “do you eat cruciferous veggies, especially broccoli” and they all have said, “YES!”
I did more research and found carnivore! I Jumped right in! In 6-8 weeks I lost 45 pounds! My perimenopause reversed! In fact don’t even get PMS symptoms and my cycle is perfectly paced! And so much more reversed that I started writing it down! And yes, my fibrocystic breast masses shrank!
I share my progress because I want people to see how carnivore can heal so much and most of these things are commonly healed for many, not just me! I want to help and this is how I do- by sharing. No I am not paid to do this, I just want to help people see and be aware of what carnivore can do!
I do update this list as I have been on carnivore (more lion diet version) for 1 year and 4 months now. I feel this has helped so many decide if they should try carnivore. I always say go watch Dr. Baker, Dr. Chaffee, and Dr. Berry- my three most favorite doctors. They are truly amazing! I call them my carnivore doctors! ☺️
* No more perimenopause- completely reversed!
*Period cycles all timed perfect with 4 week intervals.And no PMS symptoms, but only the actual menstrual cycle itself!
*No more night sweats
*No more waking every 2 hours at night!
*It used to take me 20 minutes or longer to fall asleep at night when I would first go to bed at night- before carnivore. Now it takes like a minute or less. Haven’t noticed since I am out fast!
*No more life long eczema
*No more cold hands (may have been Reynold’s disease, never diagnosed.)
*No more cold body temp in general! Used to feel like a reptile - only warm in texas sun. (may have been Raynaud’s disease, never diagnosed.)
*No more IBS symptoms (gas, bloating, stomach pain, constipation, diarrhea)
*No more feeling low energy by 12pm and zombie by 4pm
*No more purple looking hands in winter (may have been Raynaud’s disease, never diagnosed.)
*No more brain fog
*No more arthritis that I felt in hands, knees, and hips- or elbows
*used to have sore hips when sleeping on my side. No more!
*Lost 45+ pounds from former baby weight and peri menopause weight.
*Always had 20/20 vision with slight stigmatism- but in March doctor said my stigmatism is reversing!
*Don’t sunburn as easily anymore and tan well.
*Wrinkles around eyes seem to be much less. I am 47 and look like I am in early 30’s.
*Gums look super healthy. Dentist seems irritated as my teeth are not dirty when cleaning every six months. Think they know they won’t make money off me.
*No more sore chest from monthly periods- no swelling feeling of fullness or discomfort that prevented me from sleeping on my stomach. Now I sleep every night on my stomach!
*Fibrocystic Breast issues reversing! Almost all gone after 6 years of buildup!
*no cravings unless they are for meat
*no more angina symptoms before a period- which started about 3 years ago.
*No more feeling weak like almost passing out and dizzy around ovulation and periods when walking around.
* no more fingers swelling- that started a few years ago- rings kept being tight- is pattern I noticed. One ring I had resized larger and it’s super loose now. Will have to resize smaller.
*feel stronger- now lifting barbells not just hands weights. Dr. Baker said since I am 46, and 5’7” at 122lbs- need more resistance training to add more muscle weight. . So bought a 47lb barbell off Amazon and have 90 extra pounds added to it. Will continue to progress with that.
*Before carnivore- i had started growing grey hairs in one of my eyebrows, few hairs at a time, but no grey in my blonde hair yet - but assumed it was coming. Now on carnivore I have had no new grey hairs growing in eye brows and still no grey hair in my natural blonde hair. And in the sun it gets super light highlights.
* no more body odor!
* I used to get a little anxiety with large crowds- like if attending special events- but since on carnivore I don’t get it that much.
*I was a bit OCD before carnivore, but so much more relaxed so barely like that.
* I was a relaxed person before, but somehow am even more relaxed and never stress about things.
*Since I was a young child my sense of smell has been terrible. But not even a month in on carnivore my sense of smell has gone crazy! I smell things even far away! Amazing!
*no more allergies! I was allergic to cedar and oak pollens- and mold- but since carnivore I am no longer reacting to those outdoor pollens which is amazing!
* I have had no more issues from ear wax build up. Had it twice after having kids and docs would say it was a hormonal problem. Carnivore cured that too!
*Veins in my arms look healthier. They were almost invisible before.
*Legs no longer hurt on longer road trips or plane rides!
*I used to get a popping sounds in my right shoulder when lifting weights. Was probably a pulled ligament. That is now gone!
*I have been lactose intolerant since I was a kid, and I feel my nails are a bit stronger than before. They do break if I catch them on things but I feel they are getting stronger on carnivore.
*My teeth look more white on carnivore.
*My blood pressure has improved on carnivore. 6 years before carnivore up to starting carnivore my blood pressure was increasing. Now on carnivore it is back to normal like when I was younger. Last reading it was 100/75 which is awesome!
*i used to get eye twitches in my eye lids, but that is gone.
* at times when trying to fall asleep I would close my eyes and at times felt dizzy like falling feeling or spinning. But haven’t has that since I have been on carnivore for 12 months.
*the skin on the heals of my feet are no longer cracked and dry!
*little leak from sneezing or coughing that ladies get from estrogen dominance is gone on carnivore! Hormones balanced so no more estrogen dominance!
*The top inner corner of both my larger toes have felt a little numb for years. Never had it diagnosed. But being 1 year on carnivore I no longer feel that numbness! My nerves have healed in that spot on both toes! Crazy!
*My slightly receding gums behind my center bottom front teeth have rebuilt so gums all over are super healthy! I have flossed daily for years, but gums look even healthier!
*my skin on my face isn’t as oily as it used to be.
*My hair used to be super oily if not washed daily, but carnivore has regulated my hair so I can now go days without having to wash it- doesn’t get oily after one day like before! (Newest update added!)
So there you go! ☺️ I hope this helps people on their journey to fins out what works for them! Carnivore is working for everyone that tries. Go watch Dr. Baker, Dr. Chaffee, and Dr. Berry! And go visit Kerry’s channel at Homesteadhow! We love him too! ☺️

excellent. Aside from the veggies causing the cancer, cancer feeds on sugar. Cut the veggies and the sugar. I don't have nearly all these issues. I have joint pain, back pain, hoshimoto's (Thyroid) and type 1 diabetes. I doubt the type 1 will be cured, but I'm hoping for the rest. I'm going for BBB+E (Beef, bacon, butter and eggs), of course I have venison and chicken as well, but zero carbs going forward starting from dinner last night. Doctors have been telling me not to do carnivore for years. I'm done listening to them.
For me, the biggest difference between carnivore and keto is that carnivore doesn’t require willpower on an ongoing basis like keto does. The cravings are completely gone, and I have no desire to go off program. I also feel a bit better without the veggies compared to keto, but the fact that I’m not continuously tempted to have a “cheat day” on carnivore like I was on keto gives me a lot of hope for being able to maintain it long term. I’m down 60 lbs and 6” so far since August (I spent 2 months of tapering down through LCHF and keto from the SAD, carnivore since October). My chronic fatigue is gone, I feel incredible, and I have Drs. Berry and Chaffee to thank for convincing me to take the carnivore plunge.
Agree with the no cheat mindset😊
36 days in, 30lbs down, stronger than ever, and feeling better than I have in over a decade! Appreciate your content.
Wow do share what is in your daily menu?
I and my wife was on the lion diet just eat salt n meat and lots of water but we wasn't pooping for like a week n I realize if I included seasoning or carbs I Will poop do you know why ?
@@Thaddeus-ml8ifit’s changed, but my body has settled on 2 meals a day. 1st is a bigger mostly fat meal. Like ground beef with lots of better and boiled egg yolks. The 2nd is more of meat, like a cheap cut of steak/chicken thighs. Butter. Lots of pink salt.
@@SamuelEmritfor me, once I added lots of butter and egg yolks, poops came flowing lol
@@SamuelEmrit Sounds like your body was absorbing all the nutrients. Only junk comes out.
Poor Dr. Atkins. He never got the recognition he deserved. He’s up there in the heavens wagging his finger saying
“ I told you so.” My mother had all of his books on the bookshelves in our living room when I was a kid growing up in the 70s and 80s.
its too bad h3 died early. He fell and cracked his head.
False rumors that he died of heart attack.
Can you imagine if he was still alive to continue his work.
@@missfloflowersI was coming to ask exactly how he died because I, too, had heard heart attack!! Thanks for clarifying!
@@missfloflowers yes I heard he did fall on ice in the city and died of a head injury. 🤕
Why do you think hes in heaven? Did he know Jesus personaly?
Lot of the Atkins low protein bars have vegetable seed oils. They need to replace that.
One meal a day total carnivore and eggs I lost 6 pounds in 10 days. Thank you Dr. Barry.
Love both of you doctors!! This is a very informative video!! I'm excited about the benefits I have seen from carnivore, and am glad to see research picking up on keto and carnivore!! I'm 71 and feel so much better than I have in over 20 years! Am no longer type 2 diabetic, lost my excess weight, fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome are almost gone, anxiety and depression are much better, and I am now off 7 of my 11 long term prescriptions!! That's why doctors don't want people doing this! Except for ones like y'all who really care about HELPING PEOPLE GET HEALTHY!! THANKS SO MUCH FOR ALL YOU DO!! GOD BLESS YOU BOTH!! ❤🤗🙏
Hi there...we're the same age and my fibro's gone completely as has my arthritis pain.......been carnivore 8 mths now and feeling great.......I do about 20 mins a day "core" exercises that I found very helpful ( many utube videos on them)......best of luck to you
I ran into a family friend after 8 months carnivore. She asked
- I’d lost 60 pounds - and I told her
Bacon Eggs Beef and what I had learned ON MY OWN.
She’s a degreed Nutritionist married to a GI specialist.
She said, “WE were never taught that!”
You have to take some of yourself to the job!
That is why I have ignored nutritionists. There are many on Facebook trying to flaunt their degrees on Keto groups.
And THAT is THE problem!!!!!
I’m watching Drs. Westman and Berry on December 23, 2023 - Christmas came early!
🎄🎅
Great video. Both of you have been very influential in me changing my dietary routine. I've been doing carnivore now for eight weeks and I've lost 16 pounds. When asked about my diet I tell people that I am vegan; I only eat animals that eat grass.
Being 86 yrs. Old I’m looking for a healthy end. Have relatives in assisted care, don’t want that!
I think the fact you’re here making a very clear and concise comment on this video shows you’re still pretty damn sharp and still very much with us! I wish you many more years of good health!
You are valuable! Your memories of how life affected you! Experiences! Facts, not BS! Good luck, would love to have you for a coffee mate!
Please focus on living and not the end. Eat well, exercise, rest. You a living wealth of experience. Share your experiences with everyone. A big hug from me my dear friend😊
I sent a different video about this to my 80 year old mom. I started Carnivore yesterday and will try to convince her today to try it for 30 days and see what's what.
@@Recken1 Make sure that her digestion is working properly(enough of stomach acid & bile flowing nicely) before starting carnivore .Otherwise, it will be a nightmare of constipation, hemorrhoids, gallbladder struggling with fat, etc,..
FINALLY a new age expert is giving credit to Dr. Atkins. No one ever does this. Thank you. ❤
Im 86 and want to thank you for sharing your education of healthy diet...one week now on carnivore foods. Enjoying it as well. No more water pills, big improvement on elimination, no indigestion. I am shocked to tears. Doing my exercise for my age feeling awesome...Dr Berry has totally my devotion trust and appreciation...wonderful to see you both supporting this healthy way of eating...in Fl 6 months, Tn 6 months.....♥️
Sorry I was on this healthy eating longer than one week. Started Feb 16 till May 6 and continue to eat healthy.
Day 2 carnivore here. Was keto for 7 months in 2022 and lost 70 lbs because I wanted to reverse diabetes. I did. 2023 I went back to eating carbs and put it all back on. I feel better already 1 day into carnivore
It’s amazing how after one day you can feel better.
@@rhondajennings517 - As newbie carnivore and not a particularly disciplined one. I had more cheating moments than I should mention. As in all experiences, the end uptake is what really matters. With that said.
One of the things that surprised me a lot. Was the quick back and forth either in the good or the bad directions.
One day is all that's needed. Many times just a few hours!!
Even than I refer to carnivore with the word MIRACLE! ;-)
Get ready for the diarrhea!!!
Thank you both for such an awesome conversation! I just love when Dr Berry gets on a roll, he is always so aware of who he is speaking to and their audience! He always says you’ve got to fix your on shit before
talking to others, and this time out of respect for Dr Westman he changed it to fix your own health!Dr Berry is on a journey to help as many people as he can , and he’s winning!
IM 58 and lost 85 pounds and now am no longer diabetic and today I found out I dont have luekemia .Thanks to God and carnivore
Incredible!!! I’m so happy for you!!!!
Congratulations 🎉
Thank God!
Wonderful! So happy for you!!! ❤❤❤❤
@@sandraguthrie276 Thank you.🥰
I have the hard copy of Dr. Adkins book. Its all marked up. I've been carnivore off and on the last year. Lost 60 + pounds. My husband who has no weight issues, but is diabetic, is always wanting meala that are high carb. I find myself falling off the wagon for a day or two. I fight hard not to completely give up. Winter is especially hard it seems. Thank God warmer weather around the corner. I wish i could get other family members on board. Have lost so many family and friends since 2020. I love listening to you all. My psoriasis have improved, and so has arthritis. Im 65 and doing good. Recent blood work seemed iffy but im just gonna keep going . It has to be better for me than other forms of eating.
Keep at it, Ketovore/carnivore lifestyle works. My a1c went from 10.6 to 5.4 in 4 months a long with 80 lbs of weight loss. This is with no medication, my high blood pressure is gone as well. I just had another set of labs done at 6 months and stellar. I eat salt, real butter, and all the protein I can eat, drink only water and black coffee and feel amazing. April 28th will be a year since I started my lifestyle change. Yes there are times when I will eat what I shouldn't because I don't want to be impolite or seemingly difficult to satisfy but I go back to eating the proper human diet as soon as possible.
Thank you both for this awesome educational opportunity. Practicing podiatrist for for 25 continuous years practicing carnivore for 6 years. You truly helped me to understand how to communicate this to my patients. It has been such a frustration to effectively teach this to my patients, thank you so very much for a wonderful new way to approach this.
Sincerely one of the best UA-cam lectures this year. I will be sharing with all my patients.
Growing up I always felt bad after eating certain vegetables. At school, I had a teacher who forced us to eat all our veggies, and some of them made me feel bad. No one believed me that the veggies were causing problems. Now that I'm on my own I only eat a few veggies that don't cause me problems. Everyone tells me I need to eat more veggies, but I don't listen to them.
I'm 76 years old. I followed Dr Adkins in the 90 s . Have been on Keto for three years lost 60 lbs
I'm on this train for life. This presentation absolutely blew me away. I was glued to it..I learned so much. Simply the best presentation ever 😊
You two are my fav Docs! I have been on Keto for the last year and half and have just started carnivore (1 week in). Amazing improvements in my overall health and well-being. I had been following Dr. Berry, but just found Dr. Westman this week, who practices in my neck of the woods. As a retired biomedical scientist, I’ve always believed that nutrition was the primary mode of prevention medicine. I’m thrilled that you two are bringing the awareness to the rest of the world.
Thank you Docs! I’ve got a little ADHD but I think I could listen to you two talk for hours without doing 3 other things. You both have been so influential in my health journey. Stay curious for a better world.
I have to give respect to Dr Atkins who was the modern pioneer for ALL of us. Than you Doc. And also thank you Dr Ken Berry and Dr Westman.
What a great talk! I love Dr Berry’s enthusiasm, it just doesn’t quit. Both of you have helped to change my life and I’m so grateful. Keep up your wonderful work. I’ve lost 60 lbs and feel as though I’m actually getting younger. This is a wonderful way to live.
Next month I'll be 55. Never felt better in my life! It's ridiculously surprising. 🙂
Dr. Berry is one of my HEROES!! I lost over 55 pounds and I am off insulin and A1C says NOT diabetic!! Since January 2024!! I have suffered for a dozen years with this illness and what comes with it! Thanks Dr. Berry
My oldest daughter is same way hashimoto and she is autistic. 14 years old and will not eat veggies or fruit. Just some pasta and only chicken 🍗. She is doing amazing 🙏 now and dr.berry and his lovely wife helped me figure out how to help my baby . She is so smart tested high in college reading, business. She works with graphic designing . She got her future already mapped out by 12 .
That's so awsome 🎉
She only eats pasta and chicken? No red meat and eggs? And doing that good 😊 only by not eating vegetables and fruits?
@@jhenyalovering41 so far her doctor just lowered her meds . 🙏 .
@@michelemcneill3652 I know 😀. I wish I knew about it sooner so far she doing great. Even her face acne cleared up .
??? Confused. Pasta and chicken? Not exactly keto or carnivore.
Been keto/ ketovore/carnivore for two years now. Went from 260 to 170 pounds so far! Still working on getting rid of the last 35 pounds of unwanted/unneeded body bulk! After trying plant based whole food diet, in which I saw NO improvement whatsoever, to wondering what else I could do to lose weight and possibly improve my health. That’s when I found Dr. Berry and nurse Neisha! I listened and learned, then took the dive into a new lifestyle! I feel better than I have in at least 35 of my 65 years! In every way! 😊
You are both my favorite Keto/Carnivore resources. I have bought and shared your books with many folks in my family. I am Keto, off high blood pressure, cholesterol meds and allergy meds. Taking an acid reducer once in a while. Down 40!
Also no longer pre diabetic!
Mine too. I used to follow another doc who recommended tons of avocados nuts and protein powders. I gained weight.
Ditto ❤
I went to the doctor yesterday to discuss the results of my most recent A1c. I was told I have officially gone from prediabetes to diabetes. My doctor immediately told me he wanted to put me on 500 mg of Metformin. I asked him if I could control it through diet and taking berberine in the short term. He had never heard of berberine and insisted I needed to take the Metformin. In fact, he said some thing that blew my mind. He said he takes Metformin every day supplementally and he’s not even diabetic! What the crap!
Metformin is known to cause kidney damage so that Dr needs to go back to medical school
10min walk after every meal.
Many take it for appetite suppression.
Time for a new doctor?
I 've used Berberine occassionally especially when i was keto ( i know now it was 'dirty keto) replacing sugary cakes etc with 'keto friendly versions' of sugar substitutions. I noticed the Berberine helped with cravings and seemed to kick start weight loss if i stalled. I don't know why but its what i observed. Looking at research on Berberine, seems its a natural 'metformin' - maybe try the Berberine for a couple months and judge for yourself (?) I'm now Carnivore ( 1 ingredient foods) better than anything i've tried before
My favourite quote right now is from Dr Jordan Peterson, who’s whole family solved their autoimmune issues through carnivore…he states that he and his family’s outcomes are certainly anecdotal but when you have thousands of anecdotes, you now have an hypothesis. I just wish food science could see the logic in that. In the meantime, please keep doing what you do, it’s important.
Dr Adkins saved my life
I’m two days into the carnivore diet. Jings who knew I’d feel so full up after my second meal of the day. Yesterday I had breakfast at 11 (I sleep late. I can do that since I’m 74 and 3 days old 😂) I had my next meal at 3pm (chicken breast from a chicken I’d roasted plus crispy streaky bacon). Didn’t eat for the rest of the day!!!! Breakfast today was 1130!
Breakfast yesterday and today - 4 rashers of streaky bacon. Cooked and removed from pan. 3 eggs scrambled n cooked in bacon fat residue. Oh so tasty.
I’m so glad I found out about this eating plan on 29/12/23.
Shock horror I even stood on the scales yesterday 😱 so that I would know how much I’ve lost when I get around to weighing in at the end of January. Was an eye opener and brought a tear to my eye 😉. I’d just been gauging my weight from how my clothes fit and going up a dress size in 50+ years. Thanks guys for your motivation.
Thank you for this video! I love and have recently subscribed to your UA-cam I found Dr Ken Berry back in May of this year and started carnivore. Now we’re in December of 2023 and although I was not considered obese, I’ve lost about 30 lbs and many little health issues have improved for me. This is definitely a lifestyle change for me and I’ve been sharing the message with family and friends.
I can truly resonate with both your stories and journey. I am a Plastic Surgeon who started to be curious in 2015 and ventured personally in LC diet in 2018. After 12 months I was able to lose 12 kg. Occasionally I teach my patients; over time I stopped doing liposuction and started telling patients that liposuction is not the solution to obesity.
I also can understand the view of Ken Berry on the importance of what subjects we were taught in premedical schools.
Most of you guys have helped me the past 3 months of Keto and I've lost 30lbs..thank you both..
Thankyou gentleman. I'm not overweight, when I was I lost it through exercise, and I've been on a clean food diet since I had my first child. My IBS and other problems remain. I've recently felt a resurgence in my Hashimoto's and it's worried me.
I'm going to go as close to a carnivorous as I can, and maintain a diet log.
Seeing is believing; so I'll see what happens!
Anyone else find it highly annoying that there is a gar-de-ance commercials on any of dr berry videos. Big pharma is doing there best, Dr Berry you are doing great work!
Great talk gentlemen. Great respect and appreciation for you both. You have helped so many.
Your reference to deer made me think of living on the ranch. They grew corn and grains to pile up and ferment to make silage for the cattle and sheep. Young deer would line up to eat this silage and they would crap themselves to death all the while gorging on this silage. Yet the older deer were always seen out in the fields browsing on the remnants of the harvested fields, baled hay or in the timber. Seemed a fitting metaphor for what humans are doing.
You’re awesome, Westman 👍🏻
Warms my heart to see these collab videos
I like these docs so much I watch this twice.
High fat carnivore gluten free diet has put my Hashimoto's into remission in 4 months. Been on this diet now 5 months and will eat this way forever
Been keto but mainly carnivore for 18 months and stalled after 6 months for a year, started cycling psmf every other day and broke my stall. You guys are both awesome 🙂
What’s psmf
@@axxxxxxxkProtein sparing modify fast
Higher protein, low carb, low fat (under 30 grams a day). Low fat forces your body to burn the fat on your body instead of the fat you are eating.
IN THE 50S OUR FOOD PYRAMID WAS STEAK,EGGS,BUTTER,BACON,FISH,CHICKEN
Carnivore is way way easier to stick to than keto for many people because a little bit of carbs will cause carb cravings which doesn't have in carnivore
To speak the truth, such a rare thing. God bless theses two heroes 🌠🎯
You both are the best!
I'm 200lbs; 5'9" with a 32" waist. I had a doctor tell me I was obese because BMI said so. I asked him to calculate the BFP and he refused because the CDC said to use BMI. That isn't medicine.
Now ketovore..I think, phps 6 weeks, elbow pain gone, knee pain much less, not pooing 5x before 6am any more, mood better, energy better ...
Great relief ...I thought my increasing arthritis was gona stop me working .. whoohoooo🎉😲🙌..and Huzzah!! Thanks chaps and ladies ...my Angels ❤❤❤❤❤❤
You are the king of carnivore to me Dr. Berry! You give so much free information to us. Ive healed so much, most importantly arthritis and crippling anxiety. Thank you and Dr. Westman for this podcast!
Thanks be to Eric and Ken. I fell off the low carb/keto wagon the last few months of last year. What a disaster to the way I felt. I’m back with a vengeance and just feel so much better - almost instantly. The fewer carbs I eat, the better I feel.
As a biologist with interests in evolution and ecology, I appreciate Dr. Berry's evolutionary approach to things. In my opinion, a solid background in science grounds a perspective and gets rid of lots of, in Ken Berry's words, "foolishness". Even before I went low carb I saw lots of foolishness in the modern food and medical systems.
Since I have been very active most of my life, I have been able to eat a mixed diet, though I have mostly eaten whole foods and have not eaten much junk food. I was always healthy. In my late 50's I went low carb to fix high blood pressure, and it worked. I got off the one medication I was on. I have my brother to thank as he told me how it helped him. I think I was just beginning to get insulin sensitive even though my blood glucose was always excellent. Recently I heard Dr. Berry give an excellent short talk about the difference in primary and secondary causes of blood pressure. It provided lots of clarity and provided a very good starting point to fix things. I don't understand how, as a person who had high blood pressure, why I didn't hear this before. It makes me even more irritated with modern health system.
My advice is to be both open minded and sceptical. When I see influencers flit from one thing to another, focusing on the small panaceas that get forgotten in short order, in my mind it means they haven't had enough grounding in big picture stuff.
My wife and I are just starting ketovore after listening to Dr. Berry. He makes a lot of sense, but it’s difficult to go against everything we’ve been taught for so long. I’m a pretty good judge of character and he seems pretty genuine, but I haven’t actually met him. I wish I didn’t have this little voice telling me not to trust blindly.
Don’t listen to that little voice… it’s the devil… No but seriously, I’m 54 year old female and I got to the place that I was desperate and to me it was “try or die” because I just wanted to die I felt so bad with auto immune and severe inflammation and pain. I have been eating only fatty meat,liver, suet, real butter, cheese, heavy cream. My inflammation is 90 percent improved! Auto immune problems the same if not gone. I only take occasional magnesium and vitamin D and I drink only water and have pinches of pink mineral salt throughout the day. Don’t be afraid.
Don't trust blindly. Try it for a week or two and see if you feel or see the difference.
Take a look at how you feel, how your clothes fit, how your level of energy is. Then have a look at your medical labs. Check Dr. Berry on recommended labs for a person on keto -carnivore. You will see definite improvement. Let that be a well-spoken, informed -by-evidence voice in your head. It will educate and silence that “little voice”.
@@peterfrancisharris We are. It’s not the short term that concerns me. It’s the opposing recommendations from each side!
Don’t trust blindly. Follow the research. Another person to listen to his Georgia Ede. Shawn Baker’s site is mostly individual success stories. But listen to the vegetarians too. Both sides are successful mostly for what they don’t eat. I lost 80 lbs on keto, so I’m biased, but keep listening and reading to decide for yourself what’s best for your body. Good luck!
Dr. Westman you’re local to me; I’m eventually going to find a way to have a sit down with you medically someday. I’m day 27 Carnivore and I’m a disabled veteran; still have issues lingering but patience is what I’m understanding is needed. Thanks for pushing America in the right direction; honestly you have done more for this country than any politician. I know you’re humble and don’t like the credit but regardless of your intentions you stood up screaming the truth and now a small portion is listening and I feel compelled to stand up and yell! I’m no doctor and my wife works at chapel hill so I have to be tactful at times but I’ll never shut my mouth on this.
I’m going to start keto today. Nervous but need to. I’m out of control. Need to lose 40+ pounds. I feel terrible now. Sugar addict, carb addict.
Why not jump right into Carnivore? Do it for 30 days and I know you won’t want to stop. Don’t be afraid, just eat as much yummy meats till you feel full as a goog- keep some extras in the fridge in case you get peckish in the beginning and only cheat either way meat or dairy. You can do this. Down the track if you cheat with
something sugary, like my husband did, it will make you feel sick in the tummy and you won’t want to do it again - jump in - it’s World Carnivore Month 😍
You got this, follow Dr Berry and use search to get to his videos on any topic you might come up with questions on. Also catch the Monday night live, most people in the comments are very supportive, and the mods are very smart and helpful. There's more out there, Dr Chafee, Bart Kay, Dr Sean O'mara, etc.
Praying for your success!
One meal at a time, you’ve got this! 😊
Start slowly, just start reducing carbs a little at a time and replace the carbs with meat and eggs. It might take 30-90 days to make smooth transition to keto/ketovore/carnivore.
"Keto junk products" - so true, so accurate! Love this very important characterization.
Thank you, both!
Dr. Berry, I am glad you went to that rummage sale and picked up that book. I really appreciate your no nonsense style. Thank you 😊
On the UA-cam / Dr Berg thing: I was not one of Dr. Berg's subscribers (some of his stuff is a little to woo-woo for me), but his videos used to be suggested to me frequently and I did watch them occasionally. I only became aware of his censoring concerns when I saw Dr. Westman's reaction video about it, and I realized I hadn't seen Dr. Berg's videos pop up in my feed for a long time. I suspect his videos had been reported by other users for whatever reason and his channel might have been affected. I do think I saw fewer keto/carnivore channels generally for awhile, but that seems to have resolved and now I'm seeing all kinds of carnivore channels, including some I've never seen before. I subscribe to both Dr Berry and Dr Westman so their videos were never censored from my feed. Maybe there was a change in how the algorithm tries to guess users' interests, rather than a concerted effort to quash keto or carnivore channels.
When a vegan tells me we don't have fangs and this means we aren't meant to eat meat, I tell them they'd better sit down because I'm gonna show them some pictures of a gorilla's giant fangs, and I'd like them to explain to me what those fangs are for, since we all know gorillas are herbivores. They don't know how to answer that question. Of course their fangs don't prescribe their diet, just as our flat teeth don't mean our GI tract is designed for cellulose.
Best wishes to Dr Berry. Amazing advocate for carnivore diet. Carnivore diet changed my life.
I call my diet...Mediterranean Keto. Almost zero processed food. Hunger is almost non existent. I did every diet in the world...nothing worked...until I tried Keto...CARNIVORE BABY!
You both are great men speaking your TRUTHS🎉
Thank you for this great balanced discussion. Could not appreciate the end dicussion about passing the information through the modern "campfire." I was so crippled until yt videos brought a diet change. Am working my way back to better after poor choices and deceptions in every area of life. It does come back to fixing the beam in my eye before addressing the splinter in the person next to me. Best part of growing older is waking up to truths like every day can be an eye opener. Am grateful for both of you, your courage, your different lanes, and respect for individuals.
You are both Kings. This was a fantastic interview.
I started low carb diet a year ago and my constant anxiety has vanished. And I've had the pleasure of buying a new wardrobe because clothes no longer fit right. I put all my trust in Dr. Westman, Dr. Berry and Dr. Boz.
My two favorite doctors! I love listening and learning from both of you! You have changed my life and heath! Thank-you for your mission in helping the world to see it does matter what we eat! Merry Christmas!
I'm one of these people that can't have greens. It flares up my chronic sinus inflammation, my nasal polyps swell and I can't smell, taste or breathe anymore. Same with dairy, can't do it. It sucks, but I'd rather breathe, smell and taste. I also suffer from insomnia, periods cramps and I can't lose weight unless I do carnivore. I think I'm a mixture of Neisha and Dr Berry xD need zero carbs + no greens. :(
I keep getting silenced when I try to tell people that are suffering from obesity and diabetes, ect.... about keto and carnivore. It sucks. Every time I go out with my mom, she tells me not to talk about it because it offends people and it does. They look at me like I'm nuts and laugh at me. It's hard to share. :(
I stated keto/anti inflammatory life style few year back. I was diagnosed with osteoporosis. Now I aim to increase daily protein and leaning towards carnivore. People, the vegans I know get upset that I eat meat…and that someone told me not to talk about it.
Some do listen but they can't apply themselves to actually do it because they are too addicted
Same here.....I now leave them in willful ignorance
Yup, same here. I have found some people get very angry when I mention about sugar. I’ve finally concluded it like telling a drug addict to stop taking their drug. Their brain can’t handle it.
@@glassdaft omg I know. I just told my buddy to cut carbs and he told me to go research human physiology LOL i told him well.... bud... diabetes is basically glucose toxicity... so if you cut out the glucose, it will resolve the toxicity. It's not rocket science.
Absolutely one of my favorite interviews. I am going to share this. I will put it out there and perhaps someone will watch and their eyes become opened. My two favorite doctors on UA-cam because they have the experience and really care.
So gorillas have a different digestive system than humans I would like to know more about their system and how it differs. Please bring on a veterinarian to talk about their training because I have heard that they get a strong nutritional background. They also use their dietary recommendations to help the animals in their healing process. If we can compare the vets training with the MD perhaps we can influence more nutritional training involved with healing humans,
My health certainly has improved on the carnivore diet. In the 1960 's- my father was a chemical engineer believed in vitamins - I believe taking vitamins helped me somewhat when I was a teenager. My father's independent attitude also helped me to look into diets and experiment trying to find a healthy lifestyle.
Thank you for having Dr. Berry on, he gave me my start in the carnivore diet.
Great chat from 2 fabulous doctors ❤️
Greetings from Scotland 🏴
Yaldy
I have met both these doctors, they are great people. Really care about the health of other people. Follow their advice for a healthy life.
When you go outside of conventional thought it brings along great social and professional hazards. Challenging convention is a seldom recognized act of bravery which is more often met by contempt then thanks . Thank you both.
I was wheeled into urgent care with polyarthralgia on 8/1 this year. Been on carnivore since and am healthiest I’ve been in years. Sent this video to my Dr. looking forward to his response.
WTG to both of you.
If I had to choose doctors that I would say I trust….it would definitely be these 2. I want someone that cares and not one that just wants to make money. Thank you both for all you do. I am a retired nurse of 42 yrs
I started a carnivore channel and on that one I only follow other keto/Carnivore channels. Guess what? My feed is FULL of Carnivore content. Same on this account, though I follow lots of other interests here. Never have I had any indication that this kind of content is being throttled. Imho it started as clickbait. Love you both so much. Thanks for being so authentic and intelligent on here.
Dr. Westman, Dr. Berry, Dr. Berg, so much good information out there. Thank you to all of you.
Keep up the good work, dear Physicians! Keep speaking the truth, you are making inroads, though it is slow going! I’m glad you are both remaining faithful to your callings! 🎄Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year🕊️! 🎉
Fantastic interview!
Two of the best, most trusted and respected guys !! :)
Wow Berry you were on a roll!! You will change the world!
