@@AR-td7cn what isBS? he is a doctor, so for sure he could make more money off kickbacks from big pharma and referrals to specialists and ordering tests and bloodwork forever in sick care.
I spoke with my doctor yesterday and asked him if he could support me in my efforts to stay away from taking medications, and he said no because the powers that be won't pay him and this is how he makes a living. I had to ask him to explain when he said NO. I thought I was hearing him wrong. It's the same thing as being incentivized to get patients on prescriptions. Seems like the government and the drug companies are in bed with each other. I mean why are the drug and food industry together in one administration, The food and drug administration? Corruption at its best.
They are all in bed together big Agra and big Pharma are all in bed together and of course the government supports this that's why we need to go off and be our own advocates for ourselves I walk to my own drum beat I'm a rebel naturally and this lifestyle and walking away from all of the powers that be came naturally for me. I only go to the doctor to get blood work done when it comes to anything else I tell them hands off because I know what they're doing they're looking for a reason to pull me deeper into their web and I won't do it
Walmart sells a blood sugar monitor and test strips. You don't need a prescription to buy it. While it is not continuous monitoring it can provide insight. What is your fasting glucose, blood sugar before a meal and 2 hours after. This way you know how a food affects you. Lots of factors can contribute to your blood sugar leve, food, stress, water intake, physical activity , sleep, metabolic age, etc.
@ceresfast2414 Two of my doctors refused to order fasting insulin, on several occasions that I asked them. I had to go to a functional medicine doctor to get the tests I wanted. Shes on the carnivore diet herself. I called a locally owned pharmacy (not Walgreens)& asked who the doctors are who support low carb, meat based diet. You can also google: low carb doctors near me
Hello, My name is Christine & I'm a 50-year-old woman who has found remission from chronic Rheumatoid Arthritis. I was on a weekly biologic injectible medication called "Enbrel," with other prescriptions like Celebrex, Methotrexate, Tramadol & even Prednisone at times. Having RA & taking these prescriptions continued to weaken my immune system, creating insulin resistance & obesity starting at the age of 27 when I was diagnosed & labeled. I was eating the Standard American Diet "SAD." Eating plants, beans, legumes, vegetables, fruit, seeds, nuts, grains, sugar, seed oils, high carbohydrate food & staying low-fat. The standard, eat less & move more models that we all try to follow. I was sick of my joint pain, fatigue, inflammation & weighing over 220 lbs "size 18-20". So, I decided to start a high fat & whole foods ketogenic lifestyle in September 2019. I stopped eating high carbohydrate foods, grains, sugar, seed oils, & processed foods. I've adjusted my eating to mainly carnivore "meat based." I love eating cow, pig, chicken, lamb, fish, seafood, eggs, butter & dairy. Occasionally, I'll have some berries or vegetables like a little onion, sweet potato, or avocado. I enjoy drinking water, unsweetened sparkling water, coffee & tea. This delicious & satiating way of eating has helped my continued weight loss of 60lbs, severe joint pain, body inflammation, chronic fatigue, weakness, and other metabolic health conditions like anxiety, high blood pressure & pre-diabetes. In April 2023, I started implementing lifting heavy weights, strength training & balance exercises 3-4 times a week. I love hiking, biking, RV camping & challenging myself physically & mentally. It has been a new life for me! You can seek your true health every day, starting with what you eat/drink & don't eat/drink. RA recovery is my "why" every day to continue living a healthy lifestyle. This is my amazing health journey. Thank you, Christine Peters
Love it! Thank you for your testimony 🤗. I started first week of December, I’m 56 and I’ve never felt this good! Lost 25 lbs and I can’t wait to see my new blood work in April. We got this 💪🏼. So happy for you!
Have you been following Homestead how? Kerry the host of that channel is making a movie about the proper human diet and loves to hear people's testimonies, yours sounds like it would fit in nicely with his channel and his stories that he's retelling please contact him.
My reply to her comment is, Good for you, and thanks for sharing. I also switched to the above diet Christine has, except, no eggs, dairy or butter, due to an egg and dairy allergy autoimmune response from Hashimotos. I am also allergic to wheat. So my health started to impoive on a meat and vegetable diet, omitting rice and potatoes. I do have an occassional potato, and consume it as a remedy to relax my nerves. Lately, I've had to pay closer attention to rebuilding nerves like for sciatica, eyes, brain, fingers, hearing with Bentfotiamine mega B1, and other B's in normal dose, up to B9, plus feverfew herb, and seeds like pumpkin, flax, chia, and hemp have been a big blessing in nerve repair. Intermittent fasting has helped me keep weight in perfect range, and my face is as tight as any youthful person. I only have a few wrinkles. Only surgery can make a difference there. A big Thank You, to Dr. Berry and other doctors on You Tube about intermittent fasting and all their other methods for better health!
My wife and I are boomers who are loosing weight and mantaining muscle density by eating PHD and lifting heavy weights, walking and getting sunlight whenever possible. We love Dr. Berry times a million.❤
Why do I think that when my grandmother did some baking, and I'm almost 70, it wasn't the end of my health. Could it be because wheat has been so unbelievably modified to spike our blood sugar? Could it be that we ate whole foods rather than crap in a box? Could it be that we didn't live on soda and fruit juice? Could it be that we weren't inundated with seed oils and trans fats? Could it be that baking was occasional and not endless and sitting everywhere in every food store, gas station, coffee shop....name it? Could it be that we went outside and lived instead of pointing our noses at computer screens, large and small? At this point, I feel like walking into a grocery store is like walking into a giant gas station junk food spot. Even frozen vegetable sections are next to nothing anymore with very little choice in what's managed to remain there. We have always grown our own veggies in the summer, we look for organic in the winter, we mostly eat meat now, we have always had our own hens for eggs, and we move our bodies at work and at leisure. And we feel so much better.
Speaking of ethical and moral, in a recent conversation with a functional med provider, he shared that he reported a local health system who also happens to offer primary insurance plans for adjusting their laboratory’s reference range lab values so as artificially deflate the numbers of people with actual thyroid disease needing treatment. The response he got after filing the report was “well, it’s unethical but it’s not illegal.” Absolutely disgusting. The “healthcare” system is so broken.
So appreciate Dr Berry for his willingness to be real and speak the truth. He is one of the few I trust and thousands of comments and testimonies back up what he’s saying. My issue is undoing the nutritional brainwashing of my whole life.
Why is the government ignoring this problem? The govt is run by special interests. Whatever the govt is pushing or denying is for the benefit of the special interests, not the citizenry. Anyone who puts his/her faith in the govt is basically signing their own death warrant.
Uuummm… we already have an eating disorder that’s why we are listening! We eat too much of the wrong foods too often. Leave these people ( Dr Berry & Cynthia) alone if you don’t like what they are teaching cuz they are helping millions of people. They are trying to help us get healthy.

Love Dr. Berry & Neisha! Testing my blood sugar completely changed my life. I just did a standard finger prick test 4xs a day. Best decision I ever made for myself.
@@Habanero777 Not when it helps....I did way more than that early on which helped me see what particular foods did to my body. I tested pre and post meal every day as well as every morning upon waking and every night before bed to see where my glucose was after not eating.
I am like the good Dr. Berry, if it’s in the house, I’ll eat it. I just threw a bunch of oatmeal (instant and Quaker) into the garbage so that I won’t be tempted, but it’s a struggle with the rest of the family still eating “junk.”
Id throw all mine out too but now I use them to soak up the leftover fat in the pans. I agree is hard to do this when you're the only one in the family eating this way. That's my issue. 3 kids and a husband not doing it so they have all their snacks foods around but I ignore it. If I mess up I know the next meal will be on track and give myself grace.
Pls don’t be too hard on yourself. I myself watched the Cream of Wheat ads where the bowl of porridge follows the kid the whole day through, and then did my best to become that kid in real life…! 😮
@@Ashlyn-qg5ttthey are finding chemicals being used on oats that cause infertility. Comparing foods to one that used to be grown 60 plus years ago is like comparing apples to apples from 100 years ago. Yeah, they're still apples, but they are not the same.
I took care of my bedfast, diabetic mother through the entire COVID period. No one talks about the incontinence, the diapers for adults, the damage to the sciatic nerve. She lost control of her legs, then she became too heavy for her legs, I will NEVER take insulin.
I am learning so much from Dr. Berry's videos and it's great motivation for my Ketovore/Carnivore journey. I do want to say that I was flabbergasted to see a commercial on TV last night for Kellogg's. Tony the Tiger actually said, "They're Great - For Dinner". Kellogg's is actually telling families to take the night off from cooking and eat Frosted Flakes for dinner instead. I can't even wrap my mind around it, except that everything Dr. Berry is saying about big food companies is spot on! The food companies are proving it to us every day!
Yeah, the CEO of Kellogg’s has been making the rounds on “news” stations saying having cereal for dinner is a great way to save money during these hard economic times.
Nice the life-expectancy gap is rising with the wealth-gap. How economical of poor people to die working. (For men it is over 10 years now in Germany and women will follow)
42 yo. Carnivore since January 1, 2024. Hoping to avoid diabetes, stay healthy and active for my kids and limit the burden on my family and finances as I continue to age 😁 thank you both for all that you’re doing to support your fellow humans ❤️
Everyone should have a CGM for free. Physicians need to wear them and see how they do under the recommendations they give us diabetics. They need to understand what insulin resistance means. Last week in the hospital I was on the cardiac floor and I felt like I knew more than they did as far as diet and carbs. They wanted me to get 45 carbs for breakfast, 45 for lunch and 60 for supper. My base dose of insulin was 15 units plus a few extra units. My blood sugar was higher and higher. I didn't eat all carbs I was encouraged to order. If I tried to order more protein I was told no because of the fat content. No egg salad, no to a hamburger. I was actually discharged with a blood sugar of 308.
I was put on a low carb diet when recently in the hospital. In what world would a hamburger with a bun be considered low carb? I had asked for a patty and the gave me the bun anyway. What the heck? It was so hard to get enough meat there.
I am a trained hypnotherapist. When I was training I would look for videos where therapists of the Ericson period & more shared their experiences and knowledge. One BIG surprise to me was that addiction to cigarettes was not the nicotine- that goes in three days - BUT that it was the SUGAR in cigarettes that they were addicted to. Once I knew that and started sharing it with others - it was soooo much easier for people to stop and let go of the of the habit. I was blown away by that information.
@@shwetashukla5759 Yep!!!!! Absolutely. Money seems to always be the motive 4 most business pple no matter what. And as said, pple got it and were able to let go of their smoking habits quickly and easily. Please pass that on to anyone u think might benefit from. Sugar is everywhere.
I definitely believe that a CGM should be a standard routine test for all patients+covered by all insurance companies. These would save most people from metabolic syndrome; if they heeded the results. Giving the power back to people is key;knowledge is the lock. Thank you both for this excellent show!
You can tell by his delivery that he is about done trying to gently suggest cause and effect. He is seeing the damage and he knows what drives it$$$. Keep it up!
Dr Berry is the best! His videos and his wealth of knowledge has helped me stop my chronic migraines and off of all prescription medications.. all this through a Carnivore woe.. it’s 2 years this month since I started my journey.. and so much has happened in my life including my dad becoming ill and needing surgery; then my mom being diagnosed with breast cancer (she is doing well now).. despite the stresses and anxiety, and not so much sleep during some months, following a carnivore way of eating, I did not get migraines, which in the past would result in me being in bed for a week.. Again, thank you, Dr. Berry!
Thank you both. I am new to your channel; but have been listening/watching Dr Berry for about a year. The evidence and explanations that he provides are immeasurably beneficial. (Not to mention his low tolerance for BS!). I have personally lost over 15 Kg (34lbs) in the last nine months; eating 1 - 2 low carb meals in a 6 hour window. I am 66 and have been overweight since my first (of two) children. My low carb/ketovore journey still uses Truvia, Stevia etc. for baking a few desserts; but I am on this for life, so I am okay with taking it slowly😊. Between Drs Berry, Fung and others like yourself (as well as "The Guardian" newsletters - which I totally recommend:); we must continue to try and support their voices if we are to fight back against the conglomerates. Thank you, again.
Dr Berry is being kind to Big Pharma. The medical schools were perverted and taught doctors all the dysfunctional nutrition and to push pharmaceuticals by these big business interests. It was purposeful. The function, in their business model, for doctors is to generate disease and dispense their drugs, many of which might as well be poisons. Covid was no different. Look it up.
@@kimfroman2023My grandparents were from Cleveland TX! Loved going to visit there buts it’s been a long time. I’m 61 and have fond memories of that area. I’m in Oklahoma but have Texas roots. Go Longhorns!
Started listening to this podcast at 1:30 a.m. because I couldn't sleep. At lunch I had an unsweetened tea. Before leaving the restaurant I refilled my cup with diet coke. 3 hours later my husband gave me half of his chocolate toffee bar. I declined going on a walk because the wind was horrendous and my allergies were bothering me. While he was gone, I dusted off the rest of a bag of nacho doritos. As I sat at the computer, I ate 2 8oz containers of strawberry yogurt (the good kind - it was chobani greek) Later in the evening about 8pm I got into my grandkids gummy candies, 5 pieces. After that 4 thin oreos around 9:30pm. I sacrificed nutrition for these non foods. I am SO SWEET ADDICTED!
I feel your pain. I have been doing keto since 1/1/24. Lost 14 pounds and doing pretty good. Yesterday I totally went off the rails. Woke up this morning all puffy from eating sugar. Today is a new day. Time to start over. Good luck with kicking the habit!
For sure - I was NOT giving my body what it wanted and I know that in my head. My taste buds are a different story. I am going on a 72hr fast tonight and getting myself back on track. @@Ashlyn-qg5tt
If you find it hard to even think about giving up the sweets right now, start with shortening your eating window. Start with where you are, which sounds as if you’re eating all day long, and shorten it to maybe 12 hours, focusing on having whatever you want but in distinct meals with no snacks. Make the sweet treats you have a dessert for your meals. Then, shorten it to 10, then 8, then maybe even 6. Do it over a period of weeks and see how it goes. As far as exercise, only do it if you’re feeling inspired and don’t worry about it until then. Eventually, it gets to the point where you’re eating less of the junk just because the eating window is shorter. Just do it as you’re inspired and try not to force yourself to do anything. Add in more protein and fat to your meals, and see how that affects your eating habits. Then go from there. I know it’s hard to imagine, but people who do this often lose interest in eating so much junk, especially once they feel satiated from the protein and fat.
@@LauraB.335 thanks for the tips! I am currently 49 hours into a 72 hour fast. Amazingly not hungry and not craving sweets. Since my fast won't end until 7:40pm Tues, I may wait to eat until Wednesday as I don't want to eat that late in the evening. Plan to break my fast with protein and fat.

Slow transition full carnivore 3 years. I lost down to 173 from 215. Over the past 6 months I'm back up to 185 and holding. I think I put muscle on but I rarely work out. I'm 61 and everyone around me is getting bigger and slower. I need some younger friends to hang out and grow older with. 🤔
The Dexcom 7 CGM is going to be availavle WITHOUT a prescriotion. It has been approved for release. Your insurance company will not pay for it, but YOU can!!
Carnivore based since July of 2023. Lost 25 pounds and healing a host of ailments bubbleing under the surface. Im 72 and just want to avoid doctors and the assisted living facilities to the end. It is working steadily so far. Ive never had such great results from any encounter with a doctor. Plenty.of experiences though, bilateral knee relpacement 20 years ago, two major back surgeries 10 years apart, with SA joint problems I'm currently managing on my own. And an additional 10 surgeries. So maybe you can understand my distrust of medicine, when almost all that could have been avoided with the proper human diet. So thank you, Dr. Berry.
This made a lot of sense. I like how you said, "But it 100% is your problem!" I was ALWAYS hungry before. Thank you for pointing out why! You know what else changed for me when i went super low carb? My ankle swelling went away- and i had painful, swollen ankles for probably a decade. My doctor gave meds for it! But I'm no longer on it!
I found it interesting that Dr Berry, after eating so well for so long, has the trigger foods calling his name. It is that trait in me that has caused failure after failure after failure. I can go for months and not eat carbs or sugar and then suddenly nothing satisfies until I finally succumb, which sets off a season of binge eating. I am nearly 70 and this fight is tiresome. I used to control my weight through exercise and bulimia so I ate whatever I wanted to. I am now handicapped and exercise is painful. I don't barf anymore so I am rather fluffy, but I'm always trying to lose. I tried carnivore but the taste of meat got to be a bit too much.
I’ve found that the Costco steaks are SO much better than the grocery store. Maybe try this alternative if you live within an hour. It’s worth the drive. Pricey but so much better in flavor. But the prime or choice ribeye. Or we buy a tenderloin & cut it into steaks. Or even Eggs scrambled or hold back a few yolks & add them in last so they can be really moist. I’ve done sockeye salmon from Trader Joe’s & loaded it w spices to cut fishy taste. Or tuna. I too, fail every 15 or 20 days. I’ve been analyzing & sometimes I just didn’t eat enough the day before. Or I watched the news. And that’s stressful. So I’m careful what I expose myself to. I’m almost 60 and though my weight is just a few pounds (5-10) over normal, I’m strongly addicted. I feel like it’s a lifelong battle. Even when I fail, I get up, dust myself off & get back on the horse. Or cow in this instance. Kelly hogan advises no diet drinks. But I drink my electrolytes with a stevia blend. Without it, my muscles cramp. So considering trying only water, once I run out of my electrolyte blend. Sometimes it helps if I don’t eat after 6pm. But the other day… it was strong… I could not talk myself down from a small binge. It’s like the addiction hijacked by normal rational brain… 😢 What’s the answer for those of us that suffer the 20 day or longer ninja attacks? No one seems to have a good game plan.
I can only eat sweet berries every autumn when they are in season. Each autumn I find my body needs 2-3 days to re-learn how to digest carbohydrates. So the yummy berries have got to be worth 2-3 days of what Dr Berry calls the squirts. 😮
How many grams of protein do you think a young child should be eating in a day? I have a child that does not want to eat (as strange as this sounds, its a real struggle) how many grams in a day might be considered normal for a child the age of 5-6?
I'm not sugar addicted fortunately but I am addicted to cheese. So I have a small piece each day. I've just started carnivore. I had a go at keto but found it difficult to not eat mountains of veg. I love veg. I was referred to a dietician as I refused to take statins. At the time I ate meat and vegetables but no carbs (bread rice potatoes) I ate one large meal a day and a snack of cheese in the morning. The dietician said I must eat carbs, cut down on veg and eat more meat. I did try. I was also given diuretics. So I lost 10 kgs in three weeks which I think was fluid. I then had a course of steroids and a course of antibiotics for a skin problem. Totally messed my stomach up. Weight now the same as it was. I take pre/probiotics, magnesium, iodine, D3/K , plus diuretics, blood thinners, high blood pressure tablets (I've been able to reduce the dose), 1 a day multivitamin and minerals, an antidepressant. My aim is to lose weight and get off as many of the meds as possible. 🤞
Just watched the interview with Cynthia Thurlow. Her skin is totally amazing. It was so good to confirm my long-term conviction that the artificial sweeteners are bad for you. I do know for sure if you eat calf liver, beef liver or chicken liver that it DOES make you feel better. Not many places even have the liver. Dale's in Birmingham has good liver and also Niki's is a good place for liver only one day a week ( check with them). So glad for Dr. Berry's and Cynthia Thurlow's guidance. I can't leave out Bella either, the meat and butter gal, as she is more than phenomenal!!

I've found it a lot of work to bring about a change in my diet - thinking, learning, analysing and decisionmaking, but there is one aspect I'm grateful for. That is, I am not greatly troubled by cravings or temptations to cheat. I can look forbidden foods in the face (or in the fridge) and not be tempted to eat them. Once I decide against them, that's it. I think that many people have very little self-control. It's like a muscle that needs to be exercised to have any great strength. PS I don't want to appear to be holier that thou, I have considerable trouble with my mobile phone addiction!
The reason so many native Americans have a higher rate of diabetes and obesity is the introduction of government subsidized foods full of processed carbs. The ones who are able to get back to their roots and eat their native foods, their health improves. That alone should tell us something. They didn’t ask to be carbolics, and it’s not their fault. The food industry needs us to be carbon neutral addicted to thrive.
There is a documentary about a young guy on the Res who was diabetic and went on a traditional Bison only diet and cured his diabetes in like a week. Sue res in one of the Dakotas.
I was raised on all of the badie processed sugary foods as a kid. I have developed multiple autoimmune diseases as a result. My latent onset type 1 diabetes requires 24/7 glucose monitoring for meals & correction insulin dosing. I think non diabetes would greatly benefit from using CGMs to see how different foods actually affect them. I wish they were available when I was young enough to prevent some damages.
Ohh I wish it was a tipping point for Humans to look at what they eat and take their health into their own hands. I work with the general public, all walks of life and ages and sexes… there is a handful that care, but in my experience most are about today and looking to get through it. They believe in their doctors even if they are frustrated with the system of Health Care. They take all the prescriptions even if they struggle with how many they need or how to pay for them. The name Health Care System is an oxymoron. When I talk of the Proper Human Diet I get push back almost completely. I have not convinced one single person to fully try it even though they see the proof before them. Change is Hard. ❤Please keep teaching and talking and I will keep listening, cheerleading, sharing and recommending.

I'm going to be 59 this year and looking back over the decades, and nobody in my family ever had type 2 diabetes, no one really had heart disease regardless of how much they weighed, smoked YES! SMOKED! Or how much alcohol they consumed. No one had metabolic issues, I had one set of grandparents that would lay down and have a conniption fit if there wasn't Pepsi in the fridge, regular Pepsi, sugar & all, both smoked and one loved his vodka, neither one had diabetes, never went to a nursing home, neither were on meds, my other grandparents smoked like chimneys and drink like fish and again no one ever saw a nursing home or was on any kind of meds. Of my four grandparents and both my mom and dad and myself no diabetes. We always cooked from scratch when I was growing up we had cakes, cookies, pies and homemade cinnamon rolls & apple turnovers (pie crust with fresh apples frosted with glaze) for breakfast in the winter, meat and potatoes for supper and on weekends we made homemade pizza. I wore a size 3 and my mom who is the better part of 6 ft tall didn't weigh much over 150 lb and only one of my grandparents was obese. We were too poor to buy processed food and chips but my God could we bake! Crisco was always in our pantry and we used it in everything! By the time I was 30 my cholesterol was only 150. So like anybody else out there scratching their head I cannot figure out what the hell is going on with our culture that everybody is obese little kids are obese and have diabetes and heart disease like only a few old people used to. So what is going on? I keep asking myself what is in today's food that is doing this?? I still cook from scratch and granted, I don't have cakes cookies and pies in the house all the time, I gave up sugar in my twenties and I just can't stand the taste of anything sweet so I don't have a problem there but I think it's wheat. That was one ingredient that's been in my lifestyle all my life and I honest to God believe the wheat that we have today is different than the wheat that my family members & I grew up on. Right now as it stands, I will not have standard wheat in my pantry at all!! As far as I'm concerned, today's wheat is all fucked up! I use Einkor, buckwheat & spelt ONLY. If I want pizza I make it from scratch, if I want chicken strips again I make those from scratch, even French fries. I don't buy any dough, again it's made from scratch. Surely it can't be people are eating out from McDonald's and other fast food joints so much that they have this problem? Sure that contributes but people can't be eating 100% of their meals from processed food are they? I'm not going to say anything bad about people wanting to test their blood sugar, and I think if we have the degree of metabolic dysfunction in our society that people need to be aware of where the hell their blood sugar is at OFTEN!! I'm lucky here in Wyoming we have Wyoming health fairs and you can get discounted blood draws done where you live in most communities out here and I find out for myself without a doctor where my numbers as far as cholesterol blood sugar liver function kidney and heart function all of that without having to go to a doctor. I've worked in the medical field for 40 years so I can look at my lab results and know what I've got going on and I make dietary and lifestyle changes accordingly and trust me, if I was having a blood sugar issue I would be monitoring my blood sugar all the time, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that in today's climate. Currently I have a wheat free diet with the exception of einkorn and spelled which I eat very sparingly and I have Incorporated a great deal of meat in my diet and natural fats but no seed oils whatsoever! I do have to watch my carbs and I feel that I'm metabolically broken and I'd like to see that fixed. I went vegetarian/vegan in 2013 and that was the WORST thing I've ever done to my body, my weight skyrocketed, my metabolism broke and my health went way down hill, my nutrition was in the toilet and my gut was wrecked. I simply went back to the diet that I had growing up (remember the 4 Food Groups of the 70's?) and it had meat and fresh vegetables, and an occasional dessert and lost 40 lb even though I was postmenopausal. Still in recovery... But improving every year

Dr Barry, I was a vegan, doing keto thanks to Dr Boz. My big question going into this change of diet was, so how do I know what’s going on inside me so that I can respond to make improvements. really how can you make an improvement and know that indeed you have unless you have someway to track it. So I gotta device tracks, my blood sugar, glucose, as well as my ketones, call Mojo. It was the best investment for my health. I quickly learned how food that was eating was affecting me. Having discovered that I was prediabetic, and having a Doctor Who never talk to me about what I could do to change those prediabetic numbers to something that was normal I found using this device was answering my questions on a daily level. So happy I found a way to track what my intake is doing to me. At one point in conversation, I happen to mention that I had a Glucose ketone device to my doctor and she responded by saying. Why would you do that.??……. my first blood glucose reading was 167, that’s rather high. And I had no idea what my daily blood glucose readings were now that I know I want to get that number lower and gives me an incentive to look at what I’m eating. To track what I am eating. And make improvements to reduce my glucose levels. And I don’t wanna become diabetic like my brothers and my husband. And they all died due to complications being type two diabetic. If I can make changes and see improvements and not be declared type two diabetic in the future, I’ve done a good thing for my health. So that opened up my eyes too how I need to be proactive in my healthcare. You’re one of my favorite doctors to listen to because I learn a lot from you. And knowledge is power. Thank you, Dr. Barry.
Breast cancer survivor here and would love some advice. I was always confused about what to eat after my treatment was complete. Many people push the vegetarian diet and make you feel bad if you eat meat and that meat is carcinogenic and will raise IGF-1. I’ve seen many videos where they say your body is more acidic when you eat animal meat and your body is more alkaline eating a plant based diet. I really feel confused. I had a nutrition coach tell me that you need animal protein. Thoughts?
I’m a breast cancer survivor. My cancer was 80 percent fed by estrogen. Fat makes estrogen yet they wanted to give me a drug to shut down my ovaries rather than tell me my fat made estrogen and put me at risk. Over the years I’ve learned my body reacts a lot to fiber and sugar in a negative way. I stumbled on information on carnivore after finding out my colon was developing ulcers. After a year of deep diving on you tube about carnivore I finally took the plunge and also use fasting. So many things have improved including my waistline. I no longer worry about cancer.
@@tonyascott7887 I was also told that fat increases estrogen. I feel like everyone should listen to their body and do what’s best for them in regard to food. I’m glad that the carnivore diet is helping you! I hope you continue to do well! 💕
Extra weight so we “ don’t starve in the winter”?? Maybe someplace at sometime in history, but hardly relevant today. Starving is no longer dependent on a certain season.
The title said this was about "the best weight loss plan for women", is the point that the best diet can only be formulated once getting a CGM or facsimile?
I’m pre-diabetic. I went to doctors today. Advise eat more fiber Consisting of Oats and fruits 🍉 carbs. I wanted a CGM. She said only for diabetics. So another words. Keep heading in the wrong direction. I was carnivore for 3 years. I’m just exploring. As I didn’t gain or lose weight with carnivore but felt my Best.
Just seen a video before this one by Homestead how and he was talking about the amount of glyphosate found in oats. I wouldn't touch them with a dead man's hands
Yes I have started following you and my son is also he’s grown and married and he’s following you also but I have arthritis bad in my hip and so I’m gonna try low-carb and then if that doesn’t work I’m gonna do the carnivore. I’m wondering what you suggest this is about my second month of having this pain, they gave me muscle relaxers for it but I couldn’t take it. It made my stomach upset. I am going to physical therapy. I didn’t know what else to do and then I saw what the other woman wrote about. I have to move it or I’m gonna be in trouble. Thank you so much for what you doSharon from South Dakota❤
@sharonchristensen5753 I just watched a video by Shapefixer where he talks about regrowing the cartilage and returning to running after being bone on bone.
I have arthritis and I've seen other people comment that have arthritis at the carnivore diet has helped them and I can say personally I still supplement with a glucosamine chondroitin MSM supplement that I buy off of Amazon buy nutra bio. The best supplement I've ever taken. Sometimes the diet still needs a little help.
If you want to monitor your blood sugar but can’t afford the cgm how often and when would you do it with the little device to prick your finger. I want to know what is spiking my blood sugar.
@@diamondk67 trig's. Shot up as I went on diet, no coffee at all just tea... strictly meat. Been real anal about it. But as mentioned before it should level out. And yes fasting for at least 16 hours plus everyday
on the subject of blood glucose...what if it just kind of hovers in a higher range. Mine never really goes over about 120 (I eat a very strict ketovore diet) but it often never falls below 98. so its just staying in that range all day and sometimes I'll check it a few hours after eating (when im getting hungry again) and it will still be above 100- like 105-110. I dont know if this is harmful?? My last a1c was 5.2 and im very active. Not overweight. Low body fat. Maybe im eating too much protein.
no. i dont need to be fasting...im underweight a bit and trying to retain muscle mass (also a history of eating disorder when i was younger). I just eat intuitively and that's usually 3 times a day. @@emsea1658
I replied to this the other day but I dont think it sent. I do not need to be fasting (past eating disorder and also I do not want to lose body fat and want to retain muscle). But as an example... today I tested 2 hours after a breakfast of 2 eggs, cottage cheese and a carnivore egg muffin and it was 125. Then 2 hours later I started to get hungry and it was 107 so I waited another 45 minutes and it was 114. So it starts to climb when I feel hungry. Shouldn't it be going down between meals?? Or am I ok since in non diabetic range (under 140 between meals) @@emsea1658
I have been following you Dr ken ...and keep doing what you are doing for the people in the world.God bless you ..and your beautiful family..its been 5 years for me no medications for me 😊😊😊😊
This is very frustrating. I DON'T WANT TO LISTEN TO HOURS OF PPL TALKING & SAYING NOTHING! PLEEEEEEASE, GET TO THE POINT & EXPLAIN HOW TO LOOSE WEIGHT!!!
Good conversation. I am also a person that is on the addictive end of the curve. While doing keto with all sorts of cheats like keto snacks and nuts, I was hungry and lost no weight. I am currently recovering from major surgery and forced myself to throw away all of those things. I am seeing a positive impact on my blood glucose. I am losing weight, eating less and fasting again. Of course I am still trying to heal. I might also be benefitting from the lack of appetite. I’ll have to see how I am doing in a few months.
I get mine from Levels. 200 a month plus a join fee. Maybe another $200ish. You can also just buy 30 days once a quarter or every other month. I’m not diabetic so insurance won’t cover but my numbers which used to perfect 70’s, started climbing into 90’s & hundreds. In now takes 3,4,5 days to go down. One sweet thing will now drive it up for a long time. The CGM has been a game changer
I can see a lot of benefits to the carnivore diet, however, I do not trust the meat we get in our grocery stores. My local rancher charged me $12/lb. for 125 lbs. of meat. It is all grass-fed and no vax's. I cannot keep paying $12/lb for beef. I love chicken but again I am afraid of what is in our store-bought chicken.
I am a 66 yo female on keto then ketovore now carnivore since 2021. I have had a weight stall for2 years doing carnivore. I am type 2 diabetes but cannot get my a1c less than 6.1. My morning bs is high sometimes goes 160-179 on an empty stomach.I have been on a meat based diet, was using hc gave it up , no sweeteners , . Went with beef , some eggs with butter salt and water. My weight has moved in the past week 6 lbs but my bs is still high . I don’t eat in between meals. I exercise 30-45 mins doing a total gym. Any advice would be appreciated!
Every single member of my immediate family had/has T2D. According to 23 & Me we do have a genetic tendency for diabetes. HOWEVER, I don't have diabetes because 35 years ago I realized that I can't eat pasta, bread, sugar or much fruit if I want to live healthy without Diabetes. So yes, it's a decision. You can prevent it and you can reverse it.
Well I could still it more than my stomach has room for on meat, butter and eggs only. But it’s less hard to stop. My whole body was and is still very swollen, but it is nice to see my massages on my throat showing results faster after 16 days as a carnivore. I had to start massaging in the evenings, because I couldn’t breath when lying down anymore. Like not at all! That was frightening, especially because I had no insurance (Germany but could not pay for it) and had so much stress trying to find money to stay of the streets being heavily traumatised at the same time, so I had problems not fainting. I would have died if I had fallen unconscious! And no one even believed me, I’m a hypochondriac and so on. My stepsister told me that this was not possible and I should go to a closed psychiatry! This hurt heavy and she doesn’t even understand that she lost me forever. I told her and I ignore her, she acts as if nothing happened, this is harder to stomach than a whole cow.
Pasta and bread were the worst for me. After strict carnivore, i am now more low carb/ animal based, i recognize that i can have a small piece of birthday cake (like truly a small piece that 3 spoonfuls and im done) and im okay. I realize white rice makes my body sore, spinach makes my body sore and lettuce. I can eat a ferrero rocher ball and i am all set. So i domt think i habe an addiction issue, i had a hunger issue and inflammation problem. Now my body is sensitive enough to pay attention to my body's signals.
Our country (and others) are run by pharma, food and energy industries through congressional lobbying. If we want change we all need to vote with our feet and with what we eat.
I was on day 3 and my muscle in my upper arm would not stop tetany . Took electrolytes and mg and potassium and sodium. I added yellow peppers diced and cucumber and it stopped . Disappointed but at 70 I was afraid something was going wrong
Lately I have been waking up in the middle of the night with a knot in my stomach. I sit up and burp a few times. This seems to be happening 2-3 nights per week. It’s like I can feel my body trying to digest the meat I eat. Is it because I need more fat in my diet?
It is a person's fault! If you eat all that junk it's a choice! No one forces a person to eat junk. The first step is taking responsibility for your own actions!
Personal responsibility is absolutely imperative. I don't like to say but...but when you quit drugs, smoking or alcohol you can stay away altogether. Food is not an addiction you can altogether avoid. You have to maneuver through food choices while in the throws of addiction. Passing judgment on someone just by evaluating their size does not provide the full picture to how they got there. Most of us deserve grace when it comes to this issue ♥
@@jennyshipp333 food is an addiction you can avoid..just as quitting smoking, drugs or alcohol it's a choice..you either make changes or you don't. I find most of the people I meet that have food addictions they do succeed because they made that choice. I have a ton of compassion but sometimes people need touch love.
