@DawnS Clark ... Ya, not sure, but he was doing everything apparently you're supposed to do. I would have to evaluate specifically some of the things he was eating, maybe he was overloading on the organ meats or something that's super high in Iron?
When you are grocery shopping, that three in tall list of ingredients written so tiny you can hardly read it. Is like a list of INFLAMITORY ingredients. Almost every one of them can cause inflammation in one area of the body or another and also the vast majority of them also cause your insulin to spike 300% or more, even the ingredients that sound good for you like, cultured celery powder, paprika extract and "VEGETABLE BROTH" which is massively deceiving. If even a small amount of "VEGETABLE BROTH" in premium wild caught tuna gives you a blinding migraine headache and vomiting it is not anything like the vegetable broth you might make at home with some onions, carrots and potatoes. ITs akin to calling soysauce vegetable broth, or russian vodka potato broth or vegetable broth. 1/2 of the benefits of the carnivore diet are not what meat brings to you but all those dozens of inflammatory ingredients you are avoiding.
Found Dr. Ken 26 months ago. He kept popping up in my you tube vids so i checked him out. I was 6' 230, not bad, but had signs of diabetes setting in from eating lots of pastry, pizza, beer, etc. Went Carnivore after watching some vids. Today, i'm 180 lbs, pretty ripped,at the age of 71, and he's the guy who got me on my way to good health. Thanks, doc.
see Dr Berry's vids on Proper Human Diet and Ben Bickman's vids on insulin resistance. I'm 70, started keto 1/2022 switched to carnivore 7/2022. The PHD cured my NAFLD, pre-diabeties, CKD, high BP, increased testosterone, and lost 40lbs.
@@RandomHuTaoSimp Advanced technology has surfaced that our ancestral diet was plant based and meat was obtained on a less frequent basis. I don't really have a problem with hybrid plants unless research shows they are not nutrient dense. Please understand, I would like to buy into Sr. Berry's theory about the PHD diet but am struggling with what I believe to be viable counter points to his theory... I've improved my health tremendously by avoiding processed food and alcohol. I lean towards "whole foods" in my diet and don't think that a carnivore restricted diet is in any way an optimum diet. In other words I don't see it as a "Proper Human Diet."
My son introduced me to carnivore…and I was a dedicated vegan! He agreed that he, like me, deeply cares about animals but he told me that I was his favorite mammal and wants me to live a long, healthy life. Sold!
@@Sammydx1 Congratulations. I’m 41, I tried keto before, but I hate the keto friendly veggies. I’m going to start carnivore tomorrow. I ordered some kettle and fire bone broth, but I’m not sure I’ll keep that up at $6 per serving, but I’ll try.
I live in Southern Alberta, Canada. Huge agricultural land. Ranch country. The average rancher is 60 years old. We need to support our ranchers so families can continue the farm and supply our food.
I’ve been carnivore for the last 5 days. I started it for weight loss and for my hip pain. Today is the first day that I haven’t had to take Advil upon waking up. I took the garbage out and came back in and still haven’t needed to take Advil! I’m sure to you you are like “ok, so what?” BUT, for me that’s huge!! I have been suffering for the last two years and it was getting worse every day. But I really think it’s getting better!! I’m very happy at the moment!!
I feel you, I ended up with 6 ulcers earlier this year from all the NSAIDS I needed to walk, control the headaches, etc. Today is day 15 carnivore for me, and so far no pain meds today. The pain is still there but at a much more manageable level, and hopefully will get less every day.
@bugzziee it may take more time. There are some people who find that it takes about 90 days to heal, sometimes even before weight loss can happen, if you have a lot to heal from. Sometimes, especially if you came from eating a diet that was higher in oxalates, it takes longer for all the oxalate buildup in your tissues and organs to eventually release. The pain can even come back for a bit, as it did for me, and now it's a little better again. Some carnivores are finding that after years on carnivore they will still go through times when stored oxalate starts dumping again. Still, better out than in. Look up a RU-vid video with Kelly Hogan and the author of the book Toxic Superfoods. I can't remember the author's name, but it was a helpful video. I hope you find your healing!
Hello, I am 79 and today is Saturday last Sunday I started carnivore only, I had tried other diets and still felt tired out exhausted and ate all over. I was sick and tired of feeling sick and tired. I know I’m old but I felt worse than I know I should’ve been today. I woke up for the first time eager to get out of bed and I’ve got more work done today, than I used to get done in a week , I haven’t needed to sleep and last night I slept through without having to get up for the loo or having to take indigestion mixture. This might be just a one off but I pray to whoever is running the world it lasts. As my pain is reduced by 75%.
Wow... you call yourself a DOCTOR?!? You absolute intellectual bankruptcy, is symbolic of what is called "medicine"... You total ASSHOLES, refuse to admit, that each and EVERY HOMONID BODY, HAS THE ENTRAIL OF AN HERBIVORE. GET FRAGGED, DOC...
Been carnivore for 3 weeks now and not only has my anxiety vanished, I’ve gone from a size 16/18 to a 12/14! I’m feeling so good now! My RA is under control as well! My dad who has Parkinson’s is also doing carnivore! It’s not a diet, it’s a lifestyle!!
Hey.. my dad was diagnosed with Parkinsons about 5'ish years back.. currently takes meds to reduce his shaking which is mainly in his right hand and who knows how bad it is if he stopped taking the meds. I haven't done any research but has carnivore effected your dad's parkinsons?
Dr. Berry is so right! The first time I tried the carnivore diet, I lasted a few weeks. In just that short period of time, my skin, sleep, joint pain, brain fog, and even body odor improved. Then I decided to have some pound cake with ice cream along with spaghetti with meat sauce. By that evening, my sinus, knees, ankle, and the skin on my forehead said, "Oh really?! We're doing this again?! No problem, I got something for you!" When you get away from the pain, brain fog, itchy rashy skin, and awful sleep, everything feels so much worse. I don't miss the old me.
Yes !!!! Why is this ?!!! The only thing that helps keep pain down is eating clean carnivore . 😊 Yes the itchy rashly skin …. Brain fog I ended up with shingles and ringworm at the same time this summer The only way to keep my body happy is eating ruminant meat and raw dairy ( sparingly ) however - although pain reduces and energy increases muscle twitching goes crazy and other issues amp up so it’s a trade off for sure . I need to figure out how to strength train and grow muscle . It’s hard with all the health issues
@Christinesobservations Start wherever you are with strength training. If all you can lift is a can of soup (yes, they're good for some things), lift a can of soup, and repeat throughout the day. You are waiting for your water bottles to fill at the Berkey, hold on to the counter top and alternate lifting your legs behind you. Using your own weight and easing into movement can be a great start. Good luck, you've got this 🎉
@lillyinthevalley2022 I would say at least six hours of solid sleep. But it's combined with rest. Before I'd sleep a few rough hours. Now it's longer yet it's restful, and I'm ready for the day. 🙂
A symptom that I rarely hear anyone talk about that has gotten better for me on the carnivore diet is poor eyesight. My high blood sugar and high blood pressure was causing micro fissures in the blood vessels in my eyes, and it was causing my vision to be blurrier than it should. When I went on carnivore my blood sugars and blood pressure normalized And my vision isn’t as blurry as it normally is, which is just amazing.
Same here. I was very surprised how my glasses were too strong after being carnivore just 5 months in. My eye sight is gradually improving the longer I am doing this. It will never go back.
@@marlenegold280 isnt it amazing. All the benefits of carnivore, ketovore continue to make me a healthier 71 year old. I feel like Om in my 30's again. I was running marathons back then, wont be doing that. But life is fun again. I can swim a mile in 20 minutes and keep going. !!
That's amazing! Thanks for sharing. I was wondering if that is a possibility. Oddly enough, my eyesight is consistently declining 1 level, per eye, per year. Causing me to get stronger prescriptions every year. I have no doubt diet plays into it and hope it can help my declining eyesight.
10 days in and I'm a convert. Long term chronic skin issue: gone. Better sleep, better mood, more alert, less hunger, no cravings. Truly this is so life changing. And it was counter intuitive to me, but at the end of my rope, I caved and tried it. Who knew I would feel this good. This is the way to go for me.
I just went full carnivore again several days ago. It took a few days, but all of a sudden, I'm never stiff, just feel good, I don't wake up with horrible images in my mind, I feel more enthusiasm for life and am not filled with self loathing. Am 61 years old and just realized many of the mental health benefits.
I'm 62 and reading these comments I'm going to give carnivore a try . All these people can not be a fluke. I have tried everything for my sciatica its worth a try
@WendyHannan-pt7ez I was able to make it 60 days with a couple minor things like onion and cilantro a couple times. Now I'm trying to do my best everyday.
@@WendyHannan-pt7ezI am on carnivore, but allowing myself condiments like mustard and onions. I figure if I need to fudge things a little to get it going, that’s okay. No need to be perfect, just get going! Good luck to you. ❤
Dr. Berry will end up being one of the most influential doctors in America. Mainstream media may never platform or recognize him, but his information and delivery is powerful enough to overcome that. To me he’s second to none in the carnivore community and is willing to go after the sacred cows of the plant based/vegan agenda fearlessly.
I used to drink tea with tons of honey, thinking that it was healthy. I would have terrible heartburn, joint pain and slowly kept getting heavier. I went on the carnivore and water diet after coming across a doctor Berry video. I've been carnivore for just over a month. I haven't had heartburn for a month, my joints feel better, and I'm down almost 20 lbs. I'll never go back. This diet is amazing.
I didn’t gain any visible body fat during the three decades when I hovered down honey straight out of the jar. Of course I WAS working out 5-7 hours per day at that time…!😮
@@1timbarrett 5 to 7 hours a day? Were you training for the Olympics in 2 different sports/events?!? But if you're considering practice for your sport as "working out" and then hitting the gym + some type of extended cardio then I get it. That's what I was doing when playing college ball.
I am glad I am no longer addicted to coffee. It saves time and money. I am carnivore 12 months and free from all addictions, my hunger is under control, weight is perfect. At 62, fit lean, strong, healthy is the new way to live the rest of my life.
I just heard the most significant message of this interview. Human beings are the only species of mammals that are confused about what to eat. Every other mammals, animals on the planet knows what to eat. They know when to eat, what to eat, what not to eat.
Praying for Dr Berry and family. He is going against the Medical establishment. Truth talk about true health. Atkins went against the establishment with low carb. Difference is High fat was key for me. Decades ago Atkins was on the right path, successful but CARNIVORE IS THE ANSWER! Being an MD and going against the establishment can be brutal. I find Dr Berry to be very BRAVE! People’s lives are being changed for positive for generations to come!
I agree with you 100%. We need to keep him & the others in this community in our prayers. Big pharma, big food, big medical, etc. Are a wicked group of controllers. They're happy with people being sick, passive, dependent & broke. Wow it's amazing how they've had us all brainwashed. No more. Lol.😁👍. The evil paid off politicians can go too. Haha
Atkins even had a highfat option for those not losing wgt. A fat fast actually. So he had a hint of what was needed. FAT Ketosis And no plants necessary. I eat alliums still, celery and some capsicums, even avo. I was never histamine or oxalate intolerant. No GI issues so I have cheese daily as no dairy for calcium is crazy imo (I get severe legs spasms even contractures w/o adequate diet, even taking a quality mag at bedtime). But my stick of butter daily is what changed my life. FAT!
@@YeshuaKingMessiahfunny I gained a tons of weight on a stick of butter after 13 months strict CV, and I’ve heard many other state the same/ now the doctor who asserted that is backtracking and stating this does make you gain weight if your hormones bla bla bla. Pls don’t assert anything as a 💯 fact for everyone .
@foxyauragems6146 your comment doesn't make sense...are you saying you gained a "ton of weight " eating one stick of butter? Or you gained weight adding butter/fat to your carnivore diet?
I absolutely love his vision for the future where we are raising animals locally and reinforcing natural environments. Imagine that kind of revolution for humans who would be physically, mentally and spiritually healthy again.
It changes my entire life …. The cleaner I eat the more I cannot go back to my old ways . The absolute best I’ve ever eaten was from Amos miller farm in PA . I ate that for a week and when I went back to supermarket food oh my … my body immediately felt awful .
A few things that help that happen more and more, are : Pay for it as you can, even if it means no longer spending on extra shoes and purses, salon visits, boy toys or etc. . Conventional farming and the national chains like Walmart, made for unrealistically low prices to even begin to use to fairly compare to what that food would and should cost, grown naturally/OG/regeneratively and more independent, local ways to access that local food. Not that farming better necessarily costs more, although often the transition costs/losses/challenges are HUGE, but, again, 99 cent eggs may just be completely impossible using any healthy model of production, unless and until the farm gets really "dialed in" and has savings of large-scale. Also, I'm not saying farmers deserve to make a good income on a product which, alone, would cost way too much ( for ex., $25 a doz eggs) if that's the best they could to raise and sell eggs for a living to support a family of 4 or something. Maybe that's just not do-able and it needs to be only one part of a diversified farm. Less eggs but also be doing beef and pumpkins, for ex. . Bringing this up because of all the advice out there which is otherwise good, to regenerative farmers to figure out what they need for a paycheck and price their food accordingly. That is only fair and way over-do, for farmers ( former dairy farmer here !) YET that doesn't necessarily mean we should just all settle for $25 a doz. eggs, either. Oh yeah, main topic... 😁 : #2: Know more about all this so you can be prepared when the opportunities arise to share a nugget here, a vlog or book there. Read Joel Salatin's books, watch Alan Savory's presentation at Harvard U on RU-vid, about reversing desertification. It 100 % has to do with meat and ag. I also highly recommend Mark Sheppard's book restoration agriculture &/or recodings of his presentations about his farm, here on YT. Also Geoff Lawton/Zaytuna Farms in AU and his greening the desert project in Jordan. Also : Karl Hammer compost-fed chickens. For more awesome stuff on chickens, go to my channel, find the chickens playlist and enjoy !
I’m an NP and yes, absolutely. It’s time for re education!! I’ve been looking for something that would align in a private practice model and I think I’ve found it. I’m angered and horrified to realize we have been lied to about nutrition our entire lives. The pandemic cracked me out of the belief. I couldn’t understand why they were making these choices. They didn’t make sense. I assumed, like many, more specialized doctors had information I might be missing. Since then it’s been a non-stop awakening to truth.
I hear you. I’m a student NP and looking into holistic alternative health as a way of healing myself and hopefully others. Where conventional medicine has failed. Here we go, fasting and carnivore. Hoping to health the debilitating Arthritis in my hands at 41!
The people who control the education process had/have an agenda, and it's neo-feudalism. Grain and plant-based food, along with bugs, is how to feed the masses while the ruling elite feast on whatever they want. It isn't a conspiracy theory, it is a conspiracy. One that is now openly talked about at the World Economic Forum, climate change summits, etc. It's why the green people are using cow farts to scare people away from red meat. Why would they be trying so hard to steer us away from red meat specifically? It's the most nutrient dense food our bodies can handle, yet they want us to be stuffed full of grain. It isn't because they are stupid or ignorant, it is with malicious intent. Unfortunately, those coming up in the medical profession, or general academia, are learning from them and just accepting it as truth without investigating for themselves. It isn't their fault, it is the evil coming from the top-down. "Satan governs the princes and principalities of this world."
@@sarahbouckhuyt538 look into East Asian medicine/ Chinese med. I have two doctorates in it. It is life changing and is something that more people need to know about
I’ve rubbed shoulders with NP’s for years and some have been my friends and yes they have a long way to go yet to discover this phenomenon. None of them have given me any of this info. I’ve followed their advice of “bird seed”, juicing and smoothie regimens and the problems have persisted. Now changing my whole mindset as this immediately made sense to me. I was told meat was very acidic and would do more harm in the long-run due to their ideology that meat takes far too long to digest and then goes putrid in the intestines!!! Well I guess if you do it wrong this could happen. Some ppl cook the life out of meat and also eat too many other things alongside. There’s definitely much to learn🥰
Almost a year later...i was a vegan/vegetarian for 58 years. My body hurt, from digestion to joints. I tried many times to eat carnivore because i believe you guys. I believe carnivore is the proper human diet . My problem is i hate fat, gristle, cartilage or any texture in my mouth. It makes me gag. I hope to better tolerate it down the line. My hack is buying top round from my butcher and having the fat trimmed off, then the meat ground to burger meat, which i cook til crispy in butter. I also eat scrambled eggs ( i use an emersion blender to get them completely blended). And i sautee them over low heat in butter. This is what i can do right now. I thought maybe somene else might struggling.
Hi, I've just started carnivore 6 days ago. I too hate the fat on steaks, so I cut it up really small and take it like a pill 💊 with water! With things like bacon I can tolerated,. I just cook it until crispy! Hope this helps!
Rena, I am so happy you put these things together! Dr. Berry got me to my 120 lb weight loss currently. Only 100 more to go. He got me started. People like you keep me motivated. He is absolutely correct in his description for people who cannot get off the couch. I was there! Started at 430 lbs. I lost almost all 120 lbs without exercise. I have loved exercise all my life, but in that state, it was just too painful and stressful to move. By the time I walked to the kitchen and back, my back and knees were in pain and I was out of breath. I hated moving. People ask me all the time about what kind of exercise I did in order to have that much weight loss. They are in disbelief when I say "Almost nothing". My body parts are healing (mainly knees and back) and I am loving the workouts I can do. Like Dr. Berry said, don't rush the workout. Diet alone will elicited huge changes in weight and health. Sit on the couch and get healthy, then move when you can!
Inspiring ! I must cut out the carbs now . I’m so swollen and inflamed it is hard to walk and I have to work every night . I have fruit and salad left from my attempt at plant based . Good thing it is mostly very low carb so I will keep the berries and low carb veg to eat with my meat till it is gone and do meat after that see what happens .
I’ve been plagued with a massive sweet tooth problem all my life. It finally caught up with me. I just started on Dr. Berg’s carnivore diet and I feel so much better. My sweet tooth is finally getting under control and my anxiety level has diminished substantially. This has happened over a 3 week period! I feel far more alert and ready to tackle the world again! Oh, I forgot to mention that I was diagnosed with MS at age 71. ( although my neurologist said I’ve had it for 5-7 years prior to my first incident). Brain fog, fatigue, as well as anxiety have started to lessen since being on the carnivore diet!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you, Dr. Berry!!!
Most humans in our society have a sugar addiction (this is the correct term for “sweet tooth”). I used to be a sugar addict, especially chocolate. As soon as I started indulging in meat and ate as much as I want the carb and food addiction finally disappeared completely! Yippee!
Out of interest, how was the MS diagnosed? That's very very unusual onset at 71 or even 65. There's a lot misdiagnosis of it especially in the states and especially because there's a lot of money to be made with the drugs given. It's a lot more conservative diagnosis in the UK for MS. Must have more than one lesion in the brain over time or space and markers in the spinal fluid.
I used to take whatever a doctor or anyone in the medical field said as gospel. Then Covid happened and I became educated about Keto/carnivore. Now I question everything that doctors tell me. I’m respectful but forceful. My family doctor has come around and is now onboard whole heartedly and actually promoting the same thing to others. Thank you to the soldiers out there in the Keto/carnivore community for helping me.
I just stated a carnivore diet. I've been doing it for exactly 2 weeks today. I am loving it so much. I've experienced positive results with inflammation and weight loss in such a short time period. I've dropped a whole dress size and my arthritis pain is basically all gone and my pericarditis pain is vastly better. This in all just 2 weeks. I also haven't had the negative effects that people warned me about such as diarrhoea so I've been lucky. I don't plan on ever going back to eating how I did before
This was FANTASTIC. I was keto for 2-3 years, lost 68 lbs. and (stupidly) let the carbs slowly creep back in. I gained back about 50 lbs. and many of my health problems and aches and pains returned with it. I’m now in the process of getting back into ketosis and am considering going carnivore. Dr. Berry has such a wealth of knowledge, and I appreciate the way he tells it like it is and calls out the food industry and the medical establishment on all their BS. I really enjoyed this. Thank you.
Yes I'm going to do it too! Gosh it's been a bit hard for me as I'm been missing vegetarian/vegan and can't even kill a spider...! But I know it's the cycle of life 🙏
Maybe implement some of Fast Like a Girl by Dr Mindy Pelz ? I’m doing best to study all angles of carnivore + remember we’re women & got to serve all of our hormones.
Thank you Dr Berry! My husband and I are 57, yesterday we began the carnivore lifestyle. That day I had 2 of the most pleasant bowel movements of my sickly adult life. I have cardiomyopathy chf, been on heart meds since 2007. Constipation was chronic, to the point of tears. We are very eager for more health benefits. My husband wants to get off high blood pressure meds, if possible, and we both hope to lose 50lbs of fat. 😊
I too have cardiomyopathy from chemo years ago, high triglycerides, high BP all under doctors meds..many other things as well how did you start this, did you cut out carbs/sugar cold turkey, how are you both doing now?. Much success to yr better health
If you have cardiomyopathy you need to take electrolytes doing the carnivore diet or you will get Ventricular tachycardia. If you feel heart flutter drink walmarts Clear American flavored sparkling water, it has potassium in it and it will stop the flutter.
I'm a Carnivore plain and simple, I've never really been a fan of vegetables and seeds. Dr Ken Berry is the most inspirational person on youtube for the Carnivore diet it just all makes sense. I'm on day 4 of just meat, salt and water. I take electrolytes daily. Yes im feeling rough which is keto flu, but i was feeling rough most of the time anyway with having fatty liver so not much difference at moment. I'm doing this diet solely for my health, I'm 43 next week with fatty liver, high blood pressure and depression and anxiety. Coming of my medication would be great i dont want a blisterpack full of medication in my second half of life. If i lose weight its a bonus. I weighted myself at start of week and took blood pressure and i weighted 217lbs, I would like to get down to 180lbs, but coming off my medication would be amazing. Going to keep an eye on blood pressure weekly. I've also noticed being on this diet I'm not hungry, whereas when I've tried salad and rabbit food diets i was always hungry.
I'm going to be honest I have struggled with the diet, I'm still eating just meat and eggs for my meals no problem there. I haven't craved any bread, cereal or pasta and potatoes, veg hasn't bothered me either. It's the chocolate. I'm struggling with chocolate cravings so it's either the sweet taste or sugar. Thing is my weight is down to 190Ibs. I started going the gym and swimming and just keep telling myself that I can do it. Anyway I've had no pain in my right side with my liver, my dry skin on elbows and knees has gone, some days I have energy some days I'm tired. I quit smoking as well a week after starting the diet and still going strong. Silly things like healthy nails, healthy skin and I don't sun burn I just go bronze. Headaches have gone, skin tags around my neck have gone, I'm down a Jean size, I don't feel depressed anymore but my anxiety is still a struggle. My advice would be try to avoid stressful situations as this can cause cravings. And I'm really just experimenting with other things at moment. I have a little heavy cream in morning with my coffee, then at work I drink black coffee or water. I've recently added Greek yogurt to my diet but just a little every other day. Other than that I'm still enjoying Beef, butter, bacon and eggs. Chicken and pork also, no problem with the meat just a laps in discipline when at work. I'm a support worker who looks after adults with learning difficulties and autism. In there kitchen they have a goodies cupboard full of biscuits and cakes it's just shear temptation so when making them a brew with a biscuit I end up pinching one or two with my brew. Anyway me and the wife are trying our best as we've just got through some stressful times and we're encouraging each other to continue. Health wise I feel much better and stronger.
About 2 years ago I was 215 pounds and struggling with joint pain, acid reflux and other inflammatory issues. I tried a ketogenic diet and got my weight down to about 200 pounds. Then, 14 months ago I was diagnosed with diverticulitis, went on a couple of rounds of antibiotics and tried the high fibre diet prescribed by my gastroenterologist. Things got worse; I was in constant discomfort, gassy, and irritable as this interfered with my work. It was embarrassing and maddening. It became apparent that the "approved" diet for diverticulitis didn't work for me. I started re-watching Dr. Berry and then Dr. Baker, Dr. Chaffee, and this channel, among others. I read some books as well because I wanted as much information as possible. Just over two months ago I committed to a full carnivore diet. Literally within two days the diverticulitis symptoms disappeared, the joint pain was greatly reduced, I had no acid reflux and I've felt very well. I'm 75, work full time, am walking a lot and exercising daily. As of this morning my weight is 178 pounds and I'm eating as much as I want, mostly beef and some eggs and bacon. Occasionally, I have some fish and I'm still doing some intermittent fasting. The same folks who never said anything when I ate bread, pasta, etc., are now questioning my sanity and wondering why I am "depriving" myself. I find this both sad and amusing. I still drink about two cups of coffee - black - every day. My one guilty pleasure!
I'm 70 similar story. The PHD cured my NAFLD, pre-diabeties, CKD, high BP, increased testosterone, and lost 40lbs . the SAD/AHA Diet earned me my CABG in 2015.
One step to counter anti-carnivore folks is by enacting and enforcing humane practices across the US. I was only tempted to vegetarianism due to the horrible conditions many animals must endure. I think this would undercut a major reason young folks are attracted to veganism and vegetarianism. I know that’s why both my sisters are vegetarians.
Dr. Ken Berry has helped me so much. I'm only ten days into carnivore but I already feel great!! Carbs and sugar has always been my comfort. I've had some hard moments of withdrawal. But I'm hanging in there. I totally agree with dairy but my homemade whipped cream with cinnamon on my coffee in the morning has given me comfort and helped me stay the course. When I found out I had diverticulitis, I came straight to carnivore! Here's to all our healthy lives!!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
@dreamofmermaids How is your diverticulitis doing since carnivore? I've been carnivore since end of June 23 and had two diverticulitis attacks although it was around a time I fell off the wagon. I'm also recuperating an injury and arthritis so I'm feeling discouraged but not beaten.
Great interview! Ken is one of the carnivore docs that got me started. Progress report below for those interested! Day 71 on the carnivore diet, began on Feb 28. I started with ribeyes, eggs, ghee, and beef tallow, but since day 43 it has been only beef, salt and water for SIBO, histamine intolerance, leaky gut, and celiac. Main symptoms were bloating (I didn't realize how bad until I started carnivore and now experience NONE) and rashes everywhere. I only eat at around noon and at about 6 pm, and total food for the day is around a kilo, or 2.2 lbs of beef. I don't snack and it is not a struggle at all, I really only start to feel hungry when lunch and dinner time are near. My rashes got much worse for the first 6-8 weeks, which is why I went strict beef, water, salt, to eliminate the possibility that eggs, ghee, or tallow was part of the problem still in my diet. Since I knew about oxalate dumping and the detox process I stayed the course. Around week 9 I hardly had any fresh rashes and what is left is drying up and healing. 11 years living with this problem after strep throat and 2 rounds of antibiotics. I have tried long term the Paleo diet, vegetarian, keto(but while vegetarian), and a diet that was personalized by a nutritionist, and I have never felt this good at any point in my life physically and mentally. Fitness and diet have been important for me since before the problems started, but the diet part I was getting wrong even though it was considered healthy. At about the 6 week mark I noticed that I felt stronger and more in control during my workouts than ever before. That hasn't stopped yet. I'm able to add extra weight to every workout, and I'm barely sore the day after. I can't believe the gains I'm making on this diet. I only take 4000 IU of vitamin D, and a few drops of iodine for supplements daily. I'm 6 feet tall and 39 years old, when I started the diet I weighed 165lbs (75 kg). Weight loss was not on the agenda, but since around the 2 month mark my weight hovers around 154 lbs (70 kg). I can't even hide my abs if I tried, I have never been so lean in my entire life. Before I began carnivore, I started a treatment that a team of specialists made for me based on all the bloodwork and tests and was taking over a dozen supplements during each phase of treatment. The funny thing is, literally the first thing I was told was that I was eating TOO MUCH red meat! Now that is the only thing I eat! I don't even know how much I blew on supplements, but it was significant because I live in Latin America now and they aren't cheap to get here. What a waste of 2 years following the treatment. Now my "supplement" is eating organ meats once in a while. Lately though I stopped eating it because I ate it to frequently one week and started to get swelling and pain in one of my fingers. When I started the diet I had the same thing in one of my big toes when I ate too much liver. Basically the beginning stages of gout from what I understand. So for those trying the diet, do be careful not to eat too much organ meats! Dr. Anthony Chaffee said he can count on 2 hands how many times he has eaten it in his life and doesn't believe it is necessary on the carnivore diet. I think I will follow that advice. I plan on continuing the lions diet (red meat, salt, water) until my skin is completely healed. Then I will look at slowly adding more carnivore foods one at a time to the diet to make sure I tolerate them before permanently adding it. I might end up ketovore in the end because I'd love to add things like avocado, coconut and coconut water to my diet. Whatever I do, it will be a diet that keeps me in ketosis, because damn, I can't believe how good I feel on no carbs! I share my story only in hopes that it will give someone else who struggles with mysterious health problems the courage to give this diet an honest try. I'm convinced that anyone who does the diet for 6-8 weeks will realize that WE ARE CARNIVORES, or at the very least, ketovores, when times were tough and meat was hard to come by. Good luck to everyone on their journey to optimal health!
Hi, congratulations on your success with carnivore. Especially in dealing with SIBO. I am curious if you had the methane SIBO or hydrogen, constipation or diarrhea.? I have methane SIBO, always had Constipation which became out of control once I got SIBO after food poisoning on October. I am slowly recovering with antimicrobials and a very low carb diet but still can’t eat any beef makes me constipated and very sick. So I was just curious what type of sibo you had and what your symptoms were. Thanks so much for sharing your story, very inspiring!!!!
I did Keto and IF for weight loss for 5 months in 2019, and watched hundreds of RU-vid videos in that time to keep me motivated, including many of Dr Berry's. I haven't watched him for four years since then but... just Wow! He looks ten years younger! That's got to be a testament to his eating regime... you are what you eat, and meat's the way to go ;)
That is awesome, not many can fast that long so soon. I just watched a video/podcast with Dr Berry and his guest talking about how a 72 hr fast actually shows internal healing with an MRI, 12hr and 24 hr did show improvement in joint health, but 72hr fast was like the "golden hour" ...I'm working up to the 72hr. On OMAD now going to continue for 2wks then try for the 72hr. Good luck , it is so easy to follow when I feel so much better every day, now I wake up alert, not feeling sluggish and achy. .
Love it so much when he talks like a human when speaking about Doctor related things, Makes me feel like we could be friends. I also feel like I can trust him more because he demonstrates common sense and does not speak down to his audience as if he is more intelligent than the masses. Listening to him has changed my life and allowed me to change the lives of family and friends by demonstrating you don't have to live a progressively sickening life and that there is Hope to not be sick all the time when you get older.
Dr. Berry is such a hoot. Love him. He inspired me to try carnivore before (I fell off the wagon), but I’m back on now, trying high fat carnivore in hopes of kicking my sugar/carb addiction, but I have found over the past couple of weeks that I feel so WELL back on carnivore. My digestion is good. I never have acid reflux anymore so no more Tums in the middle of the night, and it’s true that it’s an elimination diet. I ate some goat cheese the other day, and later that night and the next day I was congested and headachy. I never though goat cheese was a problem before, but now I know it is. Parmesan doesn’t affect me this way. It’s very interesting. I think everyone should do a ruminant/beef carnivore diet for a few weeks, just to discover the benefits and to discover those foods that they may have thought were ok, but really do increase inflammation or congestion.
Interesting point about the parm, it is a raw cheese so it kinda makes sense that it agrees with your system. Try out Grana Padando, it's also a delicious raw cheese
@@ruthanna4713 Tums are a brand of anti acid chewable tablet. I can’t eat butter bites too close to bedtime, as it turns out. Actually, it’s best if I don’t eat anything close to bedtime or I will wake up needing Tums, carnivore or not. I’m trying to find my way.
I do find it funny that Dr. Berry was, at one point, a ketovore proponent and didn’t find naturally occurring carbs to be too bad, and Dr. Saladino was like, *NO PLANTS* and now they’ve switched stances. 😂 I love them both. They are why I will never go back to being vegan or plant based. I love animals, but I feel too good; emotionally, physically, and mentally.
Love them both. Also Dave Aspry’s quote from his far east travels regarding meat…”one death feeds many” (0.5 deaths per acre on sustainable farms) whereas monoculture crops with RoundUp ready seeds and glyphosate kill millions…
Dr. Berry's wife does Ketovore. I don't think he is an absolutist. His PHD is the range of super clean keto to ketovore to Carnivore to Lion Diet. He and Saladino mostly disagree on Honey and citrus and tropical fruit.
I’ve been on ketovore and intermittent fasting for about 3 years now, I’ve lost 100 pounds and cured my stage 3 liver disease, very painful arthritis, gout and nightly leg cramps. I’ve now started eating more carbs and have gained about 30 pounds back. Luckily I haven’t gotten any of my symptoms back but I don’t feel as good as I used to. Really seriously thinking about biting the bullet and go completely carnivore!
When I worked at the jail I drank three pots of black coffee a day with zero effect. On my days off I drank no coffee and had zero effect. I like the fact that you recognize there are differences within our species, and we don't all react the same to various foods.
Not only has carnivore changed my life but, somehow, mysteriously, it has changed the life of other people around me The longer I have been on carnivore, the fewer problems I have with my road rage. Bad drivers and careless pedestrians are decreasing significantly If I didn't know better, I would think that they had changed, not me.
I got really sick about 9 years ago and was made sicker by trusting my doctor. taking their prescriptions and following their dietary guidelines. On 14 medications a day in my early 40s!!! I couldn’t get out of bed most days . Had chronic soft tissue pain throughout my body. It wasn’t until I came off the medications and did my own research, following guidelines of a functional medicine doctor (bought her book) and watched her you tube channels, that I got well enough to work full time. Still not completely healed but the carnivore diet (along with balanced hormones) has greatly reduced my body pain and depression!!!!!
I was blessed to view a video of Mikhaila Peterson speaking about the Lion Diet putting her horrific Rheumatoid Arthritis into REMISSION. My Sister and I have had this for decades. I started Carnivore about 1 month ago and can't believe the difference already!! This has only happened twice in the last 18 years when I experienced Gastroenteritis and couldn't eat, so I had already noted relief when I fasted for 11 days. That was the last time. I already had stopped the Chemo Drugs because they had no effect after 16 years of feeling SICK every day on them and no slowing of the horrific destruction. You know, like titanium joints!! I can't even explain how excited I am!! My sister will follow suit, I'm sure!! God bless you for helping us!! P.S.: Please pardon my extreme use of exclamation points -- when I'm excited, I can't help but use them abundantly 😄
I LOVE this interview! I am so happy that Dr. Berry is being very honest and blunt about the facts and reality of big pharma and the food industry. I love that he sites research. We DO need to question everything, and so many people are just blindly following, conditions, indoctrinated...pick your word for it. It extends into all other areas beside diet and health. It's relieving that people of note, influencers, doctors and scientists are speaking out!
I have Crohn's disease. I want to take back control of my health and stomach inflammation. I plan to document the improvements. Thank you for providing a wealth of information on this subject!
@@michaelacomptonmusic I would like to hear how the carnivore diet helps Crohn’s disease. My son has been suffering with Crohn’s disease for years. I would love to know more about how the diet helps crohns
It’s kind of no wonder I have spent my life putting on 5-10 kilos, losing it, putting it back on, feeling miserable and trying everything to no avail As has been said - often people turn to this as a last resort after they have tried everything else ! Just started so see how I go Thank you 🙏
This is the best video EVER on carnivore! I never thought about this being a red pill moment for people when they realize we've been lied to about food... so what else have we been lied to about? 😁 I absolutely love this perspective. I've been doing carnivore for health reasons but I can see now how this fits perfectly with the great work that I've been doing on a human and spiritual level. This is so great! Carnivore is healing for us on all levels. ❤
I stopped coffee completely for 18 months due to pregnancy and breast feeding....no issues...now I am back to 2 cups a day (1 in the morning and 1 after luch)... no issues either.👍😘 And I am lucky my husband and me and my son loves meat with fats 🙏
Thank you, Rena for this interview with Dr Berry! I'm a 17month carnivore and I've watched 100's of hours of carnivore videos. This one is so thorough and informative. Not to mention that I love both of your channels!❤
Same. For me its been thousands of hours. Ive learned soooo much. Even getting an idea of how only meat affects gut miceobiome diversity, and I'm 100% convinced a grass finished carnivore way of eating is literally the best thing you can do for yourself
On I’m on my second day of low sugar, and I already have less inflammation and puffiness. It never ceases to amaze me how proper dietary practices can transform our body.
I started carnivore loss 10lbs, fell off on weekend, went back on BBB&E ,loss another 9lbs. Weekend cook out ate chips my arthritis in knee and shoulder was back Started again Monday with fasting. Today is Tuesday back on carnivore Hoping for prays to continue.
No one can do this for you. It's up to you to decide to be healthy.. some of us are doing this as a last resort and have horrible problems.. it's the last option for hope for some
What a great interview! I was getting Dr. Berry short videos popping up daily. The wife and I were eating junk and veggies thinking we were good. We both gaining weight like crazy and had inflammation everywhere. We have decided to cut out everything but meat and do the Dr. Berry 90 day challenge. Thank you for video!
@@NRed-xj4ln It’s going well. I’ve lost 7 inches in the waist and had to buy new clothes. Pain is not as bad in knees but still there. Prolly years of eating wrong food.
I really like Dr Ken Barry and his wife too!! He cracks me up, but I love how he just says what he says and he is someone I trust and like to listen to. If I had a doctor like him maybe I would actually go to a doctor!
I love how he talked about deer and how it affects the ecosystem. Im a hunter and thats one of the things that drew me to this diet in the first place.
So glad I found this video. I was so discouraged after watching another video on carnivore and Dr. Ken Berry just made me feel confident about my choosing to start this lifestyle change. Im sure now this is what I must do to help myself and my daughter. Thank you both❤
Great video -- I could listen to Dr. Berry all day! I've been carnivore for about 2 years and these types of videos is what keeps me motivated -- Thank you!
Wow.. Praise you Dr. Berry.. My colocteral Specialist is really surprised with my healing process from Bowel cancer. Because of you I started Carnivore almost 6 months ago and never looked back. I use ghee, butter, coconut oil, grass fed meat, free range bacon and free range eggs.. wow 😮 and making bullet proof coffee with butter and coconut oil in black coffee mixed in the nutri bullet.. Great stuff..
i'm 67 yo T2 - have been on meds for YEARS 😩 carnivore has/is helping me when nothing else has!!! no diabetes meds🤞🤞🤞🙏 tgf this PHD info & way of life!🙏
I have been eating carnivore diet for 2 months now and lapsed for bread 3 times and paid with miagrianes. It was draining. But walking gently and eaating quailty beef and salt with a little butter and a black coffee as i watch this awesome interview has found me imporve my mood once more. Thank you. 😊
Question about migraines and bread. Do you notice the migraines immediately after consuming bread or a day later? I'm trying to figure out what triggers mine.
The problem with coffee is that much of it has been poorly handled and has mold or other issues. One month off caffeine/coffee isn’t enough. It takes about six months for your brain to get back to normal. You can drink decaf but only if it’s water washed. Otherwise there’s who knows what chemical that renders the caffeine ineffective. I have been off caffeine for two years. Sleep better, no mid afternoon crash anymore. My energy is steady throughout the day.
This Dr. Berry is so believable, keeping it real. Excellent humor and the absolute best teacher, professional and deliverer of truth. THIS individual is genuine , practices what he delivers/shares!! . All based on peer- reviewed research! Best ever Guest! MOST influential!!!
The video I didn’t know I needed! I have restarted Carnivore a million times, even recently! Videos like these are very encouraging and helpful, thank you!
Same! I recently started doing some trauma healing work and so far I’m almost 35 days in. On two occasions I had a small slice of bd cake and did not derail, as I would in the past. Yes I had a slight reaction both times (and the odd time I had some cross contamination from seasonings) I had slight skin reactions.
Keep going! It works. Don't push too hard to be 100% correct on day one. It is a bit of a process. I kind of started as an experiment, then got way better at it. You can too!
I find it funny that as I'm watching this video youtube throws an ad at me for Honey Nut Cheerios with claims of lowering your cholesteral! 😂 On a more serious note... Love both your channels. I've been keto/carn for a coule of years. Full carnivore for this year. 62 yrs old, 6'1" and a weight drop from a high of 240 lbs to a steady 190 currently. And now I have to go buy some new clothes. Happy shopping to everyone that takes this seriously - you will succeed!
I'm officially starting my carnivore diet tomorrow! I have a rare medical condition called Chiari Malformation Type I and I'm experiencing Brain stem Dysfunction and my blood glucose is averaging 175 to 275 everyday no matter what I eat, even when I eat meat with veg and whole wheat bread. It will go down to 130 if I don't eat at all. I'm hoping for surgery in the next couple months to help relieve the brain stem Dysfunction but I need a diet that is going to ease up the glucose roller coaster ride. It has also affected my thyroid, vision, salivary glands, central sleep apnea. I also have Lyme Disease, multiple disc issues and arthritis. I'm really hoping this diet does for me what it seems to have done for so many others. Thank you for sharing all of this information ❤
Just starting Carnivore, struggling but keeping going despite the seemingly daily setbacks, I'm making diary videos for RU-vid to keep me going! :D I totally agree with what you said at the end about needing support from a community, and most often its virtual, but I'm very blessed to say that it was my Mum who introduced me to first keto, then Carnivore, and she has been my inspiration this whole time. I promise, there are some tribes out there that start in the family! Great video, thanks so much you guys.
2018 my wife and I were introduced to Keto. We quickly found Dr. Berry's videos and have followed him every since. Today as we watched this video my wife commented that Dr. Berry looks much younger than when we first started watching him.
I think you are right; over the last few years, (Covid,) i feel that i have woken up and can see that i cannot trust my politicians, scientists and big corporations; my best interest is not their main concern.
The only diet that has ever worked for me was the keto diet. Lazy keto but I ate lots of veggies, cheese, meat, eggs and dairy. I did it for a year between 2017-2018 and lost 40 lbs. Eventually I went back to eating potatoes, rice, pasta and bread but still ate lots of fats. I figured I could go back to those and try to maintain my weight but still gained almost all the weight I lost back. My brain had become foggy again and I’ve been irritated, angry even. My back acne had returned with a vengeance but for some reason, I didn’t care. I was addicted to pasta and bread. This past month, I’ve returned to low carb, this time with a heavy emphasis on meat and animal based fats. I’ve felt rough going back into ketosis and have had a summer cold that didn’t help but I woke up this morning for the first time in 4 years with no brain fog. I’m alert and my shoulders and hips aren’t hurting. I hope to stick with it this time. I forgot what this kind of clarity felt like, what not waking up lazy, pissed off and depressed felt like.
Sounds almost exactly like me...went keto and lost 50 lbs...then one "cheat" day turned into months...than over a year... gained it all back and then some. Got to a point I didn't care and just ate ate ate ...skin was so bad, my hair loss (I have alopecia) ramped up with a vengeance..my moods were horrible..
I've been doing carnivore 30 days after 3 months keto. I can't begin to say how much better I feel! Years of chronic pain is subsiding. Skin lumps and bumps are disappearing and my 73 year old skin is tightening! I have had small whitish spots up and down my thighs for over 10 years (not significant enough to be labeled vitiligo) but these unsightly spots are disappearing! I can't stop now, though in the beginning I intended to go back to keto, I will stay carnivore! Will my sugar cravings ever leave?🤯
I also have a huge sensitivity to sugars and I've been off sucrose for over 25 years. Make sure there are no additives that you could be ingesting and switch up your meats-thinking it could be grains they're feeding them -I've even had to toss supplements that had forms of dextrose in them. Whenever I crave, I eat bacon (fat) and keep it around for that purpose. It gives me the crunch and flavor and that does it. (I buy pork belly so I add the seasoning.) It works, but the moments before, I'm close to cheating, so that's why I keep it ready. It's also emotional/addiction/habit, so I fight that. Find what works for you. Update: Dr. Chaffee says because cows are ruminants, the grains are no problem. Good!
I like how honest, humble, open and unjudgmental he seems to be. I've just started the carnivore diet. He is one of my favorite mentors via YT. In time we'll see how his advice works out. I'm hoping for the best.
Just loved this interview! Excellent questions, and excellent interviewer....letting Dr Berry share his amazing knowledge and wisdom , without always butting in!!
I ate carnivore and I loved that I was losing weight and having lots of energy. But I did get constipated. So when I started to do stir fry with some vegetables. I kept lots of meats but I used broccoli and cabbage and green beans and carrots. And I am doing better.
Exactly. Even anal fissure with bleeding after 13 months strict high fat CV ( and no mouldy coffee crap either) tons of magnesium and electrolytes. Funny none of these peeps talk about this or seem to have a clue. Adding some low oxalate veggies helped instantly.
I've been on Carnivore for one year as of March 1st, 2024. I am down 44.4 lbs. I have no more joint pain. My Asthma symptoms are very much better than a year ago. There is just nothing negative I can say about this way of eating. By the way, I never cheated, not even once. Thank you so much Dr. Berry!
What I've missed most, in going keto then carnivore, was the ability to just eat and not be concerned about macros and ingredients. I've been working on gaining the knowledge necessary to get back to JUST EATING and having the security of knowing that what I'm eating is appropriate. I'm almost there. 😉
Really, really great interview! Perhaps the first time I have ever heard Dr. Berry be so inclusive of the variety of carnivore that is available and call out the dogmatic over zealots condemning, carnivore people that ruin it for the rest of us that are trying to find balance in the carnivore lifestyle. This is not a one size fits all world, thank you Dr. Berry for making that very clear. I think that was a great service to so many.
I started Carnivore about a week ago. Mainly just eating steak at this time. Ever since day 1 I've only been eating 1 Ribeye a day, about 14 to 16 ounces and this is the only time EVER I've been able to go 24 hours between eating and I'm not hungry till it's time to eat the next day. I've already noticed my stomach is shrinking and I'm feeling much better. Even my skin on my face is clearing up, never had a problem with pimples but it just seems more smooth and supple. I'm 58 btw.
After a few weeks on carnivore, I couldn't eat a whole steak. Before I could do a huge steak and a pile of veggies with an occasional baked potato. Then desert :)
Started carnivore today! I've been threatening this for about 4 years. lol Had kielbasi and eggs cooked in ghee for brekky. Yum! I'm one of those people who can drink a gallon of espresso and go right to sleep, so I'm keeping the coffee IN.
There is a German carnivore woman n she tried to find out if u can nourish the whole world, or Germany (there r different approaches) grassfed animal food… and she says it is absolutely possible, we would regenerate the mono crops n fields with cattle to use them to pasture raise more of them , to keep the planet clean n even healthier than now… she tried to use all the data on co2 and farming she found n said a carnivore world would absolutely be possible and if it’s without any factory farming it would be even better for the planet than to be vegan… a great woman ❤
Great video. We love Dr. Berry, Dr. Baker, and Dr. Chaffee. Dr Berry is right about all the points to stay on carnivore diet! I have been a carnivore for 8 months and feel great, healed a lot of things. No cravings after just a week or so for plant junk food. After finding out that plants cause cancer, diseases, and illnesses, I choose to avoid them! Not worth it!
Dr. Berry was right when I heard him say once that some things will effect you more while eating carnivore, coffee is on of those things that I have to limit to morning or no later than 1pm or it will effect my sleep.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for telling people acting like Carnivore police to stop. This is my second time starting, I tried it about 6 weeks ago and was not successful once a lot of stress came up in my life. But i got really discouraged reading so many comments from people about posts I was reading saying "That's not Carnivore" in all caps. 🙄 You have inspired me to really stick with it this time. Thank you so much!
