This video is a shining example of why Dr Berry has gone from 12, 000 subscribers to over 2 million in just a couple of years. Keep up the great work sir.

My doc had put me on 3 high BP medicine and insulin. I was 355 lbs. I went on keto stopped all medication and insulin. Reversed my BP and diabetes. Now I am down to 281 still ways to go on the weight but I am on the right track.

My dog’s vet always calls to check how she’s doing after a visit. My own doctor is like a car dealership. Make an appointment online and hopefully we can see you in a month!

Had a heart attack. Lived now keto . Went from 13.8 to 7 A1c in 10 months. Pray that I will be below 5.6 at the year mark

This man is truly a national treasure and is probably saved more lives than anyone we can imagine I have great respect for this man as a doctor and as a fellow human being... He didn't sell out like all the rest he stayed true to his integrity and I have great respect and love for this man

The older I've gotten, the less impressed I've gotten with the average M.D. I've gotten more skeptical after covid. I'm hearing you speak out the same skepticism. I appreciate these videos, and I appreciate your honesty. It's unfortunate more doctors aren't like you.

Just freaking WOW...finally a doctor who is not afraid to speak the truth. I had the heart attack, was "following all the recommendations", walking 3 miles daily...and still had the heart attack. What the other doctors kept saying was"your sugars are too high"...but none gave me the answers on how to ACTUALLY lower the sugars...FINALLY FINALLY Dr Berry has the balls (if you will) to speak the real truth on HOW to actually get things moving in the righ direction. I can't say thank you enough. I have been on carnivore for 2.5 months now and just got my blood work done and significent changes for the good. This for me is now a life long mission. I only regret not finding you sooner. In just 2 months my A1C has gone from 13.1 to 9.1...4 points in just 2 months. Just wow and I join the private thing as well. Looking forward to becoming healthy for the first time in a long time. Crying tears of JOY thank you so much Dr. Berry, you are so appreciated.

My doctor told me I should eat 10 servings of fruit and veg each day as well as lots of legumes, to combat pre diabetes. I just smiled and left and immediately started LCHF and switched on to Dr Berry

Excellent video! Went Carnivore at age 63 in April 2022 at 5'9" 330 LBS and A1c of 8.5. Last week A1c is now 5.7 and have dropped 70 lbs. Was disappointed with my health care provided after making an appointment to have my A1c checked after a 3 month period only to be told after waiting for 30 minutes in the office the test could be done as it was not ordered by my doctor...so I left ordered my own at home A1c test kit. Expressed my disappointment during my last physical...my doctor is now fully on board with helping me achieve my health goal of normalizing my weight and reversing my diabetes. My latest cholesterol:243, HDL:35, Triglycerides: 120, LDL:184. My doctor would like to have me take a statin which I have refused. However I told him if he can provide me with a solid independent scientific study (not funded by big pharma) which increases life span and/or quality of life I may reconsider...

Dr Berry, last week I suffered a heart attack. I did not have any of the risk factors, I'm a fit, 67 yo man. I fast every day. I follow a diet that is carnivore and a slight tinge of keto. I don't eat sugar. I am not diabetic. I am not obese. I way a lean 164 pounds. I'm a retired Army Officer and retired Registered Nurse. I train in my own gym. Functional fitness with a flavor of body building. Just 5 hours before my heart attack I was on a bike trail running my 3-mile phase of my workout. I'm blessed that it didn't happen then because I was the only person on that trail at that time of day. The chest pain hit at 11:30pm. I immediately recognized the symptoms and called 911 as I was swallowing my 325mg aspirin. By 1:15 am my diagonal coronary artery was stented that had bee 100% blocked. I was told it was an embolic occlusion. The Dr. told me a piece of plaque had broke free and "cut" the intimal lining of that coronary artery and caused it to bleed. I have been absolutely bewildered as to why and how a fit, healthy man, on no meds could have suffered this near death incident. I supplement to enhance my fitness and even included Vitamin K2. My abnormal labs were as follows. Troponin 35, glucose 111, BUN 21, HGB 12.5, HCT 36.7, TOTAL PROTIEN 5.7, ALBUMIN 3.5, AST 67, OSMO 298, HGB A1C 6.0, CHOLESTEROL 165, TRIGLYCERIDES 91, HDL 43, LDL 104, CHOLESTEROL / HDL RATIO 3.8.

NOW I am on Atorvostatin 40mg bedtime, brilinta 90mg am/pm, ASA 81MG QD, losartan 25mg daily, metoprolol 25mg daily. 2 years ago I did a calcium scoring test and the result was 41. Now they have also identified calcification in my LAD at 50%. Enlighten me as to WHAT WENT WRONG and where do I go from here. I recogn
ize that you cant give me medical advice. That being said, am I doomed to a statin now that they have started me on one?

Respectfully,

Thank you Dr. Berry! I'm 75. I've been on keto/low carb and have lost 23 pounds in three months. I stopped taking pravastatin before seeing the Dr. Muscles and joints feel so much better. Fasting glucose from 102>78. HbA1c is 5.7 (not tested before). Triglycerides 55, HDL 78, total cholesterol calculated 192. All my doc wanted to talk about was getting back on "maybe" a different statin and that my ketones were 2+ and had a RED FLAG on the lab report. I refused a new statin. Seeing a doc in southern Arizona when on Medicare is a challenge. You get 15 minutes and boilerplate. I've had 6 docs in twelve years and they are all brainwashed to what lowers their liability. In March I will ask for more tests and see what happens with the docs cooperation.

Mid 60s ketovore woman (18 months on keto) - i have done conventional diets almost my whole life mid teens onwards. Not one worked longterm, although i had plenty of short term successes. I went keto, just to see how it would be, i thought it was a ‘faddy’ diet but had nothing to lose. I had no intention of sticking to it longterm ( many pundits say its not a longterm thing as it is too restrictive). I did a popular diet whose strapline was ‘Nothing tastes as good as slim feels’ but continuing to eat ‘healthy grains’ and starchy foods although i liked the image in the mirror but i didnt feel any different ( well i did a bit, i didnt get quite as hot when going for a walk on a hot day). I have been lucky enough not to have any health issues whatever my weight. But i can now say Living Keto is the best thing i have ever done, walking round supermarkets and a good song is played, i literally have to stop myself dancing in the aisles in case people think i’m a crazy old woman 🤪🤣

I don't think we need to plan on having a heart attack and just be thankful we can delay it. It's very possible to never have a heart attack. I've been carnivore for 3 years and celebrate my 80th birthday next month. I feel great and plan to be around and in good health for quite a few more years. I have never had a heart attack and don't expect to. 😊

[jayfinn]

Started doing my own homework after my heart attack this led me to you my man thank's.

[donaldmcpherson]

I love the way you practice medicine. Read your book (more than once) when it came out. I am less ignorant and less uninformed than I was. Thanks. Please never stop making videos - they help inspire me to make lifestyle changes I find difficult. More than anything I love your no BS approach.

[bbldb]

I have improvements in these markers, quickly after I was told I was pre-diabetic. And when my Dr. discovered my improvements she said “What did you do?”. I said well the simple answer is I stopped feeding my sugar, Sugar. She quit talking with me.

[naelna]

I am totally on the low carb camp, I am doing Keto. This is a super important video that everyone should see. But one tiny criticism - why say there is no meaningful nutrition in a potato? There is. I don't eat them, but it's not garbage. It's food. Also- nothing wrong with half your plate being veggies. If to you want to promote carnivore- ok, but it's not the only way to eat. Balanced Keto is great too. Mediterranean probably is good too.

[christineroberts]

Thank you Dr. Berry, as usual great information. Wish we had more conscientious people in the medical profession!

[russbrown]

I'm amazed of how accurate Dr Berry is. Everything he says is correct. He explains the Dr/ Patient relationship so accurately...

[RareRosebud]

True. My dad found out he had type 2 diabetes AFTER he had a heart attack. He was walking around with diabetes for who knows how long. He always refused to go to the doctor for a checkup.
Go get checked people! If your doctor sucks, request a different one.
