I had a stroke 2yrs ago, so My Dr say no to keto, no to grass fed butter, no to eggs, no to lard, she said it raises ur cholesterol but since I’ve been doing keto my numbers have dropped. Am I on the right track or not

[annasmith]

[almondsmithG]

Your videos are straight to the point, no-nonsense and very informative. Thank you

[LaraBisserier]

No wonder why I am very well stocked in vitamin D. I eat mainly fish, eggs and cheese with butter. Not much sun in Denmark.

Came off Keto. Carb inflammation is so much worse than ketoflu. So watching your vida to help me get back. Thx.

I was born in North Queensland Australia where we have 320 days sunshine and about 3 wks full pelt rain and 27 deg C in winter so we are every day in the ocean swimming. I am 80 and I was sickly when little, and my mum had me 1 spoon cod liver oil and we had liver/bacon fried together a lot with veg. I eat an egg nearly every day & only ever used butter. Cook fish a lot in olive oil grilled. I eat sardines, salmon, tuna, herrings, & fresh mackerel and tuna, oysters, prawns (shrimp), and noticed when I went to other end of country Melbourne Victoria where we have just had the coldest winter in 20 yrs (polar vortex winds from antarctica) and not much sun, I try and walk around my big backyard paths in 3 x 10 mins stints when the sun does come out. But I was living in high rise in Melbourne and found I started having trouble with my legs getting weaker, got on to a wheelie walker, but now where I am and trying to get some sun and exercise in the yard (at moment we are total lockdown covid19 since March here) instead of walking around beautiful lake across the road I use my paths around my big yard. I don't need walker assistance now. But my husband who died was Barrier Reef fisherman and we ate lots reef fish and big giant prawns and crabs, Moreton Bay bugs like a small lobster, crayfish, and I was building houses one after the other with my husband getting plenty Vit D. I have grilled fish a lot, done away with the battered and crumbed. But I eat a little bit of everything and nothing is off the menu, in small quantities, as all my family live to late 90's in my lifetime and grandma 104. You can't eat lots of the above seafoods just a little bit of everything. Plenty of vegetables, and lots of fruits in the morning. I do start the day with cereal (different every day) with a fresh fruit apple, pears, kiwi fruit, etc. etc. on top and microwaved 2.50 to warm full cream milk and soften fruit a bit, even though I have my own teeth. One cup coffee morning, 1 cup tea, 1 cup cranberry and orange juice watered down half in glass, and lots of glasses water. No smoking, drinking alcohol, no prescription drugs or vitamins. I get all my vitamins and minerals proteins and carbohydrates from foods I eat. I have 3 meals a day, and every day 3 different things for meals, pasta, a Scotch fillet steak once or twice a month, chicken fried with herbs, no pork, but when invited out I eat anything as one little bit won't hurt you. But no alcohol whatsoever. Lemonade or non alcoholic ginger beer drinks out. Winter lots of soups and stews with rice, pasta or noodles in with diced beef, lamb, chicken, veal etc. I eat 1kg Greek yoghurt a fortnight, and my treat is Old Gold Traditional Dark Chocolate 2 squares at night to sleep like a baby. A 96 yr old lady I used to take grocery shopping put me onto the Greek yoghurt to protect your stomach, and the 2 squares dark chocolate at night, and you will never get depressed. I never get sad. Well, this is very long, but I wanted to let people know the secret of long life is "a little bit of everything, not too much of one thing". I also eat 1 licorice log morn/night, and handful of mixed roasted nuts day (magnesium etc.) and that is about it. When I go out I have a lot of Asian meals because I can't cook them. Norma Condon

Amazing video! Vitamines are very important, and we should be well educated on them 👍

[katiegingerich]

Thank you for this, very helpful.
Here lately I was having hot flashes and just not feeling well then my Dr took some tests like vitamin D and lots of other tests and when they came back she said everything is normal except the vitamin D level and she knows that I don't like drugs, so she told me to try to use 2000 iu vitamin D3 from health food store, so I went and got some and decided I'm going to double the doze and soon after that all my symptoms were gone, hot flashes disappeared and I felt much better, God bless you for sharing good news in medicine

[natemeyers]

Those sources are also good for vitamin K2 in mk-4 & mk-7 which is very important to have with D3. From what little I know, vitamin D3 helps one absorb calcium, but K2 tells your body where to put it. Another rich source is blue cheese, which has a perfect balance of calcium, D3 & K2.

I just found your channel and so appreciate you! Thank you for caring and sharing for people you don’t even know! You don’t even know how much your videos have helped me!

[mistywillows]

Thank you so much for making this video and sharing this very valuable information. I was diagnosed with Vit D deficiency and your video gave me more information on what I should be eating than anything I've read. My doctor didn't say anything about foods, he put me on a supplement and told me to be in the sun at least 15 minutes a day.

[poobearsbeautifulgoddess]

I'm so glad you mentioned butter because I'm becoming very attached to my Kerrygold :-) lol

[raven]

This channel is a godsend of health and happiness ❤️

[THEGREATONE]

Dr. in Canada told me that pretty much everyone is deficient in vitamin d when I brought up my concern that I was deficient. Very reassuring. I eat a lot of vitamin d rich foods and meet the RDI but that's not enough. Now taking 10, 000IU/day (plus K2) indefinitely.

[TheRealRealOK]

Glad there’s some non-seafood sources! I’m more than happy to eat butter and eggs.

[rhondae]

Hello, Dr Berry!
Your health-related videos are the best. They all are very informative and helpful. Thanks!☺️

[JamesJosephFinn]

This dude! I feel healthier just absorbing his positivity, and confirming I'm making all the right decisions. Pax et bonum doc!

Random note: I gotta say, I really like that Fibonacci sequence art you've got in the background!
