💚 KETO Increased Your Cholesterol?? (Here’s why It's OK) 💚

Your doctor telling you that your cholesterol level has gone up can be scary. Your doctor telling you that you need to take a Statin for your cholesterol can be terrifying.

Let me calm your fears and tell you exactly what you should worry about with respect to the risk of heart attack and stroke. It's not what you think, and it's not what you've probably been told.

There is a huge paradigm shift in medicine and nutrition. We have all be tricked to fear saturated fat and cholesterol, and now we are slowly realizing that neither of these nutrients is dangerous.

Here are 3 books which will explain in detail the facts about cholesterol and saturated fat...

My mother lived to a very active 94yrs with high cholesterol . She never took drugs to control it. She was rarely ill. She just decided one day to go home to be with my dad.

Remember, statins come with a warning that they might do damage to muscles, like make them weak— and what is our heart? It’s a muscle! Enough said.

Couple of days ago I got bloodwork checked after about a year of transitioning to low carb and since February 1st just meat eggs salt water coffee. Total cholesterol more than 400, LDL a oittle over 300, HDL 67, triglycerides 107. Not scared, not concerned, not agitated. Im feeling lighter healthier greater than ever, sleep is deep and easy and waking up I jump out of bed which is a miracle. No question here. I just owe so much to people like this precious person Ken Berry for educating simple people like myself. Keep it up doctor, you are helping the world change! Greetings from Greece!

My short story - 73 years - 270 lbs. and a life long lover of carbs - I found your site 7 days ago (virus lockdown) - I have been binge watching your video's. Fasting today and I at 16+ hr.'s. and it's not a problem (never have done this) - 0 carbs in 6 days - 0 sugars in 6 days - I am free, free of that old life style. I take ACV w/ 8oz water 3 times a day (that help w/any hunger pains) I am down 7 pounds. One of the most noticeable feeling is that this morning I had zero back pain. I got out of bed and could not believe how much better I was. I have resisted the VA Doctors spine fusion for years. I did not take my reg. dose of Hydrocodone. I want to thank you. It's hard to express how your information is changing my life. I can't wait to do my labs next month at the VA. Bless you! I'll keep you updated !

Doctor called me with my blood work, said I have borderline high cholesterol. I found this video and feel a lot better. Thank you!

52 y/o physician here. On keto 12 months. 5’10”, Started at 190 lbs, now stable at 160 for months. Had lipid panel drawn. TG 72, HDL 69, LDL188, CRP 3.9, A1c 5.1, feel great, look great.

[Mazalinda]

Had my first diabetic check up after starting keto and IF. Everything was much improved EXCEPT my cholesterol. Statins were advised but I said “no thanks!” Glad I watched this!

[jimbo]

I like this guy. He is swimming against the stream to help us. These videos are amazing ❤️.

1. My oncologist urged me to start keto, she says the same things as Dr Berry says in this video. Triglycerides are the more important marker to watch. 2. I learned about our body needing cholesterol back in college, in the 70's., in biochemistry class.

[KenDBerryMD]

The ketogenic diet has so many wonderful health benefits, it's a shame some people worry so much about something so meaningless as their cholesterol level...

[SusiesRepeat]

Dr Berry you are the man. I look to you and Dr Jason Fung and Dr Paul Mason for the real truth not the BS that mainstream peddles.

I recently switched health insurance and went for a checkup. I'm 61 years old, 5' 8" 128 lbs, exercise at least 5 to 6 days a week (have very low body fat) and have been doing keto for well over a year now. My HDL came back at 136, triglycerides 46 and LDL 223. Needless to say, when I called my doctor to discuss the results she says "we need to start you on a statin immediately!" (like it was some kind of emergency). She went on to say I needed to lose weight, start exercising regularly and of course eat a low-fat diet with lots of fruit, vegetables, and whole grains. I am presently looking for a new doctor!
Thank you for your videos and for your book! Have you ever been on the Joe Rogan podcast?

[theresaa]

Dr. Berg, Dr. Mercola, and, of course, Dr. Fung! You four are the BEST!

[elpear]

This happened to me. I refused to take Statins bc others I knew had bad experiences with them. Thank you relieving my anxiety about this.

I am so thankful to find your videos. I have been a type 2 diabetic since 1997. It started as gestational diabetes while pregnant with my first child, then it came back full time after my 3rd child was born in 2004. I feel so upset at the lies I have been told over the years from doctors and nutrition classes. The last 10 years I have been desperate to lose weight trying everything. I love to exercise and for the last 5 years I have been going to the gym at 5:00 am to help lose weight. I have not lost 1 pound in 5 years. I will say it has helped my blood sugar to be somewhat lower. I have tried every diabetic medicine and after countless UTI’s, stomach issues they gave up and put me on metformin and insulin. And then it seemed as if I was gaining weight no matter what I did. My feet would hurt like they were inflamed all the time. I was tested for neuropathy but told I didn’t have that I had some thing called reynauds syndrome. They told me to keep my feet and hands warm and I would be fine. Well to this day they hurt and burn all night. I’m sure it’s inflammation. I take a handful of pills every night and my doctor says i need it all for prevention because of my family history. I have always thought why am I taking cholesterol medicine and high blood pressure pills when I have never had those things. Finally my doctor gave up on me and my complaining and told me the only thing I can suggest for you is gasteral bypass surgery. I’m probably about 50 lbs overweight. I thought you had to be like a 100 lbs over weight to have that surgery. At first it seemed so drastic to me but I will have to admit about a month ago I felt desperate enough to inquire about it. I didn’t do it but I can’t explain the amount of desperation I feel. I am trying my hardest to do keto and I have lost 4 lbs! I also stopped taking my insulin and have kept my blood sugar at a even healthy level. I WILL NEVER TAKE INSULIN AGAIN IN MY LIFE NO MATTER WHAT ANYBODY SAYS. They made me feel like I would die without it. I still take the 2000 mg of metformin and I would like more info on how to gradually get off that and also get off some of my other medications. If you could address that in a video that would be wonderful. Thanks again for all your help. You are literally saving lives. Tonia

[Missy_catz]

Had blood work on Friday and got the call today from the doctor telling me she is putting me on statins ... Really ? Ive been on Keto for 8 months ... No way am I taking that stuff ... No way

[bird]

I love your collaborations with keto connect because they reach a wide audience and your knowledge just helps solidify the overall goal

[dianeeitel]

Hi Dr. Berry your timing couldn't be more on point! I saw my Doctor yesterday and told me my LDL is high and if doesn't lower on my next blood work he would have to give me meds for it. I need to show him the new research. Thank you for all you do!

[barb]

This exact thing happened to me. I lost 20 on Keto. I went to my Dr. of 25 years and thought he'd be proud, no. He took my bloodwork and call in a couple of days and called me in a cholesterol medication which I never have had high cholesterol. I haven't taken the meds.
