As someone who has been in the medical profession for nearly two decades, Dr. Berry is honest and refreshing. Modern healthcare, in hospitals especially, has a rack 'em and stack 'em mentality. Gone are the days of honest and beneficial patient and family health education.

@user-hn9qg5qm3o Год назад

I’m a pretty smart person and probably could have become a doctor or PA-C myself, but I chose not to go into healthcare for this very reason. Doctors are mostly subject to doing treatments based on a pattern of treatment that the health insurance is dictating, which sort of handcuffs the doctor in being able to treat patients according to what they feel may be the best option. In some ways doctors don’t really get options anymore. I just don’t think I would really be happy as a doctor. I’m glad we have doctors for emergency care, but I just don’t feel like I would enjoy working in today’s modern day healthcare system.

All my wife’s markers are inline, she’s not obese, blood pressure is spectacular but LDL is slightly elevated. She cried when the doctor called to inform her that the she was calling in a prescription and to pick it up ASAP. Not a single discussion about diet changes.

I recently had a huge amount of blood work done. My A1C was 5, my fasting blood sugar was 70, my fasting insulin level was 2.2. In addition, a CAC scan earlier in the year was 0. What was my doctor focused on? My LDL was 135 ("Much too high") and he is sure that my fasting insulin level is too low from "excessive fasting". I will be sending him the studies and scheduling an appointment with him in January. By the way - in my early 30's, I was on WW and had an LDL/overall cholesterol level that had my doctor dancing with delight. I was also waking up hearing people plotting to kill me in the alley below my bedroom window and I was suicidally depressed. That sent me on an 18 year journey on antidepressant medication. I quit the medication 13 years ago. I found Keto three years ago. I feel fortunate to have survived the journey.

I would use the tools Dr Berry has provided in an older video to find a new doctor. I used the tools and I'm meeting with my new "keto friendly" doctor on Jan 6. My old doctor continued to push the statins on me because my LDL was elevated. She ignored my 4.7 A1C, my 89 HDL and my Triglycerides were 42. The fact they just want to throw pills at a number without taking into consideration other metrics is infuriating. I haven't had a CAC done yet, but plan on discussing it with the new guy at my appointment.

@lcook3528 Год назад

My mom (now deceased from Alzheimer's) had very high total cholesterol, over 600 - diagnosed in the late 80's. Then through the years the medical community kept lowering the cholesterol thresholds so they could prescribe more drugs. It started back then with a threshold of 300 total, then a few years later, it went down to 250, and now we're sitting at 200 as the new max. Mom obeyed the "rules" and went on statins. While her numbers looked good to the docs, she felt like crap all the time, could barely move, said she felt like she had the flu 24/7. Caused a lot of marriage issues for her too. After a few years, she self-diagnosed herself with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Fibromyalgia, not knowing that one of the major side effects of statins was achy muscles and malaise. Those were only the start of her issues. Then came brain fog, memory loss, and personality changes. She could no longer work and had to go on disability. She even had black outs. She was a wreck of side effects and too many pharma drugs, but never made the connection. If only we had had access to the information we have now, we would have figured out these issues. We knew a few things back then, but not enough and by the time we found out, it was too late. She was diagnosed with Alzheimer's in her late 50's, died of it at 72, 5 years ago. She also ate a very high carb diet, believing low fat/high carb was good for her. And when not watching her diet, ate lots of sugar. She was also on several anti-depressants. Her body was just so toxic and inflamed and we had no idea just how bad it really was. Today, I think our family (who are avid researchers and critical thinkers) could have helped her and prevented or at least delayed the Alzheimer's and improved her quality of life in the mean time.

I eat once or twice a day, whole foods low carb all that stuff - my trigs were rock bottom, hdl 65 but ldl a few points over 200. and my Dr called me first thing the next morning urging lipitor over the phone, unwilling to listen to anything else. Based on everything i search, Id rather focus on getting more exercise, resistance training, seeing if i can get my hdl higher and focusing on better sleep habits and getting my sleep tested. Its like the medical system has become so rigidly designed around treating diseases with drugs, ignoring the latest research, and completely ignoring nutrition science and prevention. It is honestly the one of the most disturbing trends once you actually dig down and try to educate yourself.

Hi Dr Berry. I was told by my GP here in England that my cholesterol is too high. They measure it differently to you. I was told it was 8.5 and that it should be less than 5. Also that he had looked at the risk score chart which tells them when patients are at high risk of stroke, heart attack. Top score being 10. He said I should take a statin. I have been on them in the past and could not tolerate the side effects. I don't worry about it any more . your video is very reassuring and prior to this I watched a talk by Dr Aseem Malhotra who said " if your cholesterol is high then congratulations you will probably live longer"! In my opinion big pharma want us sick so that they can sell us drugs that make us sicker. I am seventy years old and I fast, eat a low carb healthy fat diet and I feel great. This morning I walked two and a half miles on the beach with my dog. I do that most days weather permitting. 😊

@hektor6766 Год назад

The ratio of mmol/L and mg/dL is approximately 18. So, at 8.5 you'd have a score here in the States of 153. Your doctor wants to get yours less than 90. This is right at the point on the graph that risk begins to curve upward.

Statins killed my father. By the time I found out what he was on, it was too late. He underwent a double bypass due to heavy tobacco use which resulted in COPD. He radically changed his lifestyle and was doing very well until the statins. I found out after six months of this mitochondrial toxin being pumped into his body and got him off the drugs. The result? Diabetes and high BP: GONE. however, the damage to muscle tissue prevented him from his normal activity level and two years later he was gone. Now, my doctor is trying to push this poison on me. I am very healthy, and active but, her issue is slightly elevated LDL. I told her to do some research. After medical school, doctors receive their education from drug companies and it never ceases to amaze me how so many doctors are devoid of critical thinking skills.

@JennifertxCarnivore Год назад

For years my parents would say we had high cholesterol in the family and say how bad it was, to keep an eye on mine. Over time mine started to go up just a smidge when eating “healthy”, but not too high. Total is around 204, LDL is 122, HDL is 68, triglycerides is 50- but this was before carnivore- was more Mediterranean. Switched to carnivore mid Sept. So will be interesting to see what has changed. Now age 46 my doc said to watch my cholesterol, but down deep I know the meds out there aren’t good and is high cholesterol really a problem. I ask “why” to everything, sounded like what I hear kids call ”sus” when people say high LDL is bad, especially if triglycerides are low and HDL high, all within good ratios. Haha! Now I know the truth after doing research and watching Dr. Berry, Dr. Baker, Dave Feldman, and a few others. If my doc says anything about my cholesterol again I am referring Dr. Berry and Dr. Baker’s videos to them with their books. I am going to say,“the info you have learned about cholesterol in med school is false. Time to catch up on the science. No meds for me, thank you! Have a good day!” ☺️

If your cholesterol starts climbing WITH AGE that most probably is a SYMPOTOM of insulin resistance/hyperinsulinaema. It is a pattern where TG are also high and HDL low.

I live in Nashville TN… Early in 2022 I came across a video by Mark Sisson and thought the carnivore diet sounded interesting… so early last year I started cutting out carbs and started eating keto, on the verge of a carnivore diet. I’ve always been in pretty good shape and have never been overweight nor had high cholesterol. I have also followed you & Dr Anthony Chaffee during the year. I’m days away from being 63 years old (5’8 130-135lbs and lift weights 4 times a week). So after close to a year of eating keto/carnivore I had my annual physical with blood work last Thursday. My total cholesterol=261, LDL=164, HDL=80 & Triglycerides=87. So for the last 3-4 days I have been digging deeper into cholesterol and was expecting what I received today (an email from my Dr that he wants to put me on meds). I do not plan on doing that. And it may be time time find a new Dr.

@dawnelder9046 Год назад

If you are one of 300 males between 50 and 60, that take statins for 5 years, one will not have an event. An event is not death, but just a heart attack or stroke. They do not prevent deaths from heart attacks or strokes. Yet the odds of dying from other things increase, like dementia.

It's been suggested by medical personnel that statins reduce cholesterol levels in the brain resulting in dementia. When statins are eliminated the dementia disappears . It was stated that official studies that would show this won't be pursued because statins are one of the top money makers for the pharmaceutical industry.

Several years ago, I had high total cholesterol and high LDL cholesterol. Because I also had type 2 diabetes, supposedly, the numbers are different, then if you don't have diabetes. Well, the Dr. put me on a statin, I guess it was the lowest dose, and while it worked at lowering my cholesterol, it also affected my cognitive skills. Never before had I had a problem with expressing my thoughts; but lots of times, I was at a loss for words. Anyway, after three months, my cholesterol was down, but, I told my doctor, what it had done to me. So, she took me off the statin. I want you to know, that even though I have gotten a lot of my cognitive skills back, I am still not totally there. When my Dr. mentions Cholesterol medication now, I say, but remember, I can't take a statin. She did say that there are other medications out there, besides statins. I am hoping that this way of eating, will help me to totally recover the rest of my cognitive skills. Thank you, Dr. Berry, for all that you do for us.

Real World Question: Having seriously clogged arteries with 4 stints and thus put on crestor and blood thinners (2), do you think that an LDL of 200+ would be wise in my situation? My last LDL was 58/ HDL was 44. I've been on Keto for many years which none of my doctors like. Diabetes is much better controlled with Keto than ever in my life.

@andrewdean7917 Год назад

Why would you take a statin ? Sat Fat does not cause CVD! Your doctor has to recommend statins when your labs go high ! Its the Guidelines that they have to follow or they can be struck off. I had a heart attack and 2 stents and it was the statin that caused it . Don't even worry where your LDL is at ,your body will sort that out not some BS lab numbers.

That aside, I'm sure these drugs have horrible side effects.

I’ll say, I know most people do carnivore diet here, but I’m more traditional keto, and it seems a huge bowl of kale each day really increased my HDL levels.

@mvv1408 Год назад

Dear Dr. Berry. The idea of a confidence interval is that you look at BOTH boundaries, not just the lower one. So, at 250 mg/dL, your hazard ratio could be anywhere between 0.7 and 1.6 with 95% certainty, according to this chart. Going by this chart, the wise thing to do would be to lower your LDL cholesterol level from 250mg/dL to a little above 120 mg/dL. As an aside: this chart shows the association between LDL cholesterol and mortality risk, it says nothing about causality. Which is stressed by the researchers themselves: "Further studies are warranted to determine the causal relationship between LDL-C level and all-cause mortality."

@@onesam2go He isn`t much for discussion! Only pushing the drugs! I say, No thanks! Matter a fact, he trashed the papers I came armed with from Dr Berry's and refused to listen. He found one result to push his agenda in one paper as only one "he agreed" with We are at an impasse & actually, I felt bullied & my concerns dismissed.. Best wishes for your mom!

Since age 17, my total cholesterol has been around 177. My HDL has always, consistently run at 45. So my LDL hovers around 130 or so. I've always been worried about this! Thanks for showing this chart. Edited to add I'm now 61 almost 62. That is a lot of years of "high" LDL cholesterol. Lol.

@rayfleming2053 Год назад

When you are fat adapted and not running primarily on glucose your body needs more cholesterol. So it may be that the reason the error bars are so large at the high end is that high cholesterol may be preventative if you are fat adapted but negative if you are a carb addict.

Fully agree. Dr Berry can you make a video on how to stop statins, any negative aspects of abruptly stopping or one should stopp gradually. Or what labs should be monitered while off of these statins. Thanks a million.

This video came at a great time for me. Many thanks Dr. Berry.

You are very welcome

BRAVO! Now we just have to wait 50 years for the doctors to accept and understand this. Until then I'm happy with my LDL at 160-170 where it has been for 40 years. My personal level 😊

Several years ago I read a book called the great cholesterol myth. They said the better way to predict heart disease is with the ratio of triglycerides to HDL ratio.

Have a friend who took Statins and his cholesterol drop so low it kept his muscles from regenerating.

I eat a Carnivore diet, and my type 2 diabetes is gone. I eat lots of steak 🥩 and eggs. I actually don’t worry about my cholesterol at all. I’m feeling like I’m 35, and I’m 55.

@hardtruth2039 Год назад

My wife’s doctor tried to feed her this BS at her last appointment. She didn’t like my response. Doctors have lost all credibility is the past few years since the C was released. Btw her ldl is 77 and triglyceride/hdl ratio is 1.3 eating a carnivore diet. Another doctor fired.

My LDL in July 2022 was 90 after starting Keto in July 2021. Since then I have been moving closer and closer to carnivore, so I'll be interested in what it says this July. Can I come see you? Love to have a full physical done by you to see where I truly am.

Just got my cholesterol test results. Total Cholesterol 226 - HDL 72, Triglycerides 85 and LDL cholesterol 136. As predicted by you Dr. Berry my physician automatically offered a statin drug which I refused. I eat mostly meat, and only a few veggies broccoli, green beans and squash in very small amounts. I'm also a type 2 diabetic diet controlled and A1C of 6.4. Weight 150.

Definitely sharing this video with my husband. Definitely having a discussion about sharing this with his cardiologist. And most definitely regretting Dr talking us into the statin 😢

Thank you, Dr. Ken!

20 years ago, getting myself off the station train-to-death, I was told I'd likely have a second heart attack. Nope! Hasn't happened, and no statin side effects in me! Loving my YT docs, including this one here. Great info, Dr Berry. Thanks.
