@@junacalica4517 Your Total Cholesterol isn’t a useful marker. Monitor Triglycerides and HDL. Funny enough, if you eat very low carb as Dr. Berry suggests, your triglycerides will lower and HDL will raise… as it is supposed to do. LDL-C is also useless. You want to test the type of particles. Hopefully, you asked for a copy of your lab results, including reference ranges. (It is your legal right to get your lab results). Then look for yourself. Statins don’t help; more harm especially to women.

I drove too, for about 3 years over the road. I was overweight already, and I gained 80lbs in 3 years. Horrible food, no exercise. Last year my Dr prescribed metformin for diabetes. I took it for 2 days and saw some videos by Dr Berry and Dr Jason Fung on intermittent fasting. Stopped taking the metformin immediately and started low carb and IF. Initially it wasn't full blown Keto, just low carb. I lost about 45 lbs in 10 months, but kind of stalled there. I went Full Keto and OMAD and started losing again. Down about 75lbs total now and my A1C is now under 5. Still got about 50 more pounds to go to get to my goal weight of 175. Thanks to Keto and OMAD, I actually believe I'm going to get there.

I am so thankful to find your videos. I have been a type 2 diabetic since 1997. It started as gestational diabetes while pregnant with my first child, then it came back full time after my 3rd child was born in 2004. I feel so upset at the lies I have been told over the years from doctors and nutrition classes. The last 10 years I have been desperate to lose weight trying everything. I love to exercise and for the last 5 years I have been going to the gym at 5:00 am to help lose weight. I have not lost 1 pound in 5 years. I will say it has helped my blood sugar to be somewhat lower. I have tried every diabetic medicine and after countless UTI’s, stomach issues they gave up and put me on metformin and insulin. And then it seemed as if I was gaining weight no matter what I did. My feet would hurt like they were inflamed all the time. I was tested for neuropathy but told I didn’t have that I had some thing called reynauds syndrome. They told me to keep my feet and hands warm and I would be fine. Well to this day they hurt and burn all night. I’m sure it’s inflammation. I take a handful of pills every night and my doctor says i need it all for prevention because of my family history. I have always thought why am I taking cholesterol medicine and high blood pressure pills when I have never had those things. Finally my doctor gave up on me and my complaining and told me the only thing I can suggest for you is gasteral bypass surgery. I’m probably about 50 lbs overweight. I thought you had to be like a 100 lbs over weight to have that surgery. At first it seemed so drastic to me but I will have to admit about a month ago I felt desperate enough to inquire about it. I didn’t do it but I can’t explain the amount of desperation I feel. I am trying my hardest to do keto and I have lost 4 lbs! I also stopped taking my insulin and have kept my blood sugar at a even healthy level. I WILL NEVER TAKE INSULIN AGAIN IN MY LIFE NO MATTER WHAT ANYBODY SAYS. They made me feel like I would die without it. I still take the 2000 mg of metformin and I would like more info on how to gradually get off that and also get off some of my other medications. If you could address that in a video that would be wonderful. Thanks again for all your help. You are literally saving lives. Tonia

The fact that healthcare practitioners wonder why patients are non-compliant but never think to ask is very telling. I just shed my immunologist because she takes personal offense when I refuse the litany of prescription meds she offers (I was receiving allergy shots for tree allergy). She tells me that sometimes "knowing too much is not good, my Drs are the experts and I should learn to behave like a patient." I'm a disabled RN (under 60yrs) and my quality of life and course of disease management is sub-par. I take one medication as bandaid for a symptom and two more medications for the side effects caused by the original medication. I lost it after 3 yrs and loudly told her about herself in January and one week ago I just came off an antidiabetic drug, while still on inhaled steroids. I'm going to improve my health status without her and with my determined change in eating habits and avoidance of toxin laiden lifestyle.

I am 67 years old. I decided to try the carnivore style menu early summer or late spring of this year. That was because I broke out in hives because of something that I was eating that my body disagreed with. The carnivore menu came to my attention And I immediately went to almost all meat. The rash and small little sores on my legs disappeared very quickly along with fluid buildup in my legs. After about three months I lost about 30 pounds. I wasn’t trying to lose weight. My waist is completely trimmed, and it looks like when I was a teenager. I recently had a physical and my blood pressure usually running in 120/80 range dropped to 100/66. My cholesterol went up to 201 which is about 15 points higher than two years ago. The nurse practitioner who did my physical said. I should try to bring my cholesterol level down.

She was upset that he yelled at & was upset with her (since he already knows she doesn't want to take cholesterol meds).

Thank you Dr. Berry for speaking truth! I've known for a long time the pharmas are the ones changing and lowering the numbers for BP, Triglycerides and cholesterol in order to put people on more medication...

But now she wants me to take Repatha. Well, recently I have been having leg cramps. So I looked it up, and guess what. Zetia causes leg cramps. But I was told that my cholesterol is super high and I need these medications. Then I found you and this video, Dr. Berry. I stopped taking my Zetia, and my leg cramps are gone. My HDL is high, my triglycerides are low, and my LDL is high. I’m going to tell my doctor to back off on her quest to get me to take cholesterol meds.

Do happy to find your channel. My doctor prescribed Atorvadtatin. and valsartan hctz years ago. Recent events in my life and flu events have changed my trust level. Last year I decided that I need to find natural solutions to replace the pharma meds. I stopped the Atorvadtatin because felt cloudy couldn't remember things. Within a week my memory improved. Overall, I felt fine. About 6 months ago I stated keto. Keto felt right for me. I've cut fast food, processed foods, cut grains way back, so keto was too hard. My point is went to doctor last week. He did a CBC, another test non fasting which checked colesterial. My colesterial was 200 . If had been 102 last time checked. Doctor called me later that day to tell me he has ordered double th dosage of Atorvastatin (40mg). I reminded him that I stopped that med and why. He said the mud won't cause that symptoms. No discussion of diet or exercises. Will not be taking the mud. I've increased my exercise, more prebiotics. Thank you for sharing your knowledge

I needed to watch this again. I am 68 and currently dealing with the most ignorant doctors in the Midwest! I have been working to lose weight for 2 years...40 pounds gone, and currently under 200 for the first time in 30 years. HOWEVER, Medicare required me to see a doctor, and the nightmare began in April 2022. I did the 'NONfasting bloodwork'....they insisted I NOT fast. My cholesterol was 242. THEN they required a fasting blood test, and it is 228. Needless to say, I KNOW I am AGAIN going to be lectured on heart disease, HIGH cholesterol, etc. When I refused their statins last visit, the doctor actually stormed out of the room! Now the ignorant git is going to lean on me again, and it is stressing me out so badly that I can't sleep! My triglycerides is 39mg/dL. Cholesterol to Trigliceride ration is 2.9. I wish like hell I NEVER had to see ANY doctor again!

You and I must have the same doctor who rotates from the Midwest to Denver. Mine is so mad at me for refusing statins that she won't even let me see my lipid panel which was supposed to be available online this past week so that I can keep an ongoing record. BTW, 68 years old here, as well, 230 total cholesterol, 70 HDL, 93 Trigs. I've been stressed the entire week about it and can't sleep, like you. This "doctor" uses the AHC risk calculator (said that the ratio scores are meaningless) and flat out told me that I'm at a 9.5% risk of a cardio event in the next ten years, and she explicitly said, "You know what this means? You could die!" She's also the same doctor who is trying to force me to take a bisphosphonate drug (another poison) for osteoporosis because it will prevent the disease. In her view, ALL women should be taking it, regardless of whether we have it (I don't) or not. They're nothing but pill and screenings pushers anymore. Critical or outside the box thinking? Fuhgedaboutit. Wish I could find a sweet old wise doctor, a contemporary of mine. Still looking...

Also because it’s now boiling, I take the temperature down from high to about 7 or 8, which is about medium or between high and medium. Then when 5 minutes is over, I take them and run cold water on them until just right to handle in my hands and peel them.

Another great video Dr. Berry! My provider is pretty decent and does at least listen to me but he still freaked a bit at my LDL going up 100 points after a year on a LCHF diet (it was already flagging pretty "high" since I quit a statin 3 years ago). With some persuasion I got him to order an actual NMR. This read my LDL even higher (a few points north of 300) but not a single one of my actual particle counts flagged outside of spec. My triglycerides were in double digits (down from north of 200 on the SAD). My HDL was 76 (up from the low 40's on the SAD). At 5'11" I've gone from a blubbery 232lbs to an almost lean 176. My blood pressure, which was never super high, is the best it's been in 30 years at 110/68. Upon receiving the NMR results my doc then wanted to send me to a "vascular specialist," calling my cholesterol "horrendous." 😂😂😂. I told him to relax and look up what a "hyper responder" is in the low carb community and that I'd just roll the dice and we could do a CAC at next year's physical if he wants (I had one 3 1/2 years ago and scored a big fat ZERO, which was the final prompting to get off statins after 20 years). It really is sad what Big Pharma and Big Food has done to human health! Keep fighting the good fight!

My last visit with my doctor at VA I told her that I'm not taking a statin. They have never done the particle test, or the calcium test, or the ultra sound, before prescribing the drug. They are basing my dads death and a lipid panel on my risk, they didnt even look into why my cholesterol is high to begin with...and seriously what constituents state what is "normal". If the FDA, AMA, etc requires proof that this or that is right or wrong, normal or abnormal, than SO DO I! Do the damned tests, until then stick your statin straight up your butt!

LOL! You would give her a stroke doing that, Bill. Manny, I was on the low-fat diet for years following my doctor's (of that time) advice and it wrecked my health. I had just had my last baby and he suggested that I needed to lose weight. I agreed, so I was off on this new lifestyle change. That was 25 years ago. Now I am trying to recover what was done to me through terrible advice. Educating myself is step one. Step two is implementing what I've learned. I have a long ways to go, but the journey begins with the first step and I am on my way now.

Hi Dr Berry, my doctor diagnosed me of severe hyperlipidaemia, very high cholesterol. He asked me to do a heart scan, CT Scan, Site: CT coronary angiography, Contrast After telling him that I don’t need to take atorvastatin. He was so worried. And i got a bit worried too. But thank you for this video after listening again, my fears and worries are gone! A big YES to Proper Human Diet👏🏻😇🙌🏻

Omg I'm freaking out because of my high cholesterol after I had my baby, but watching this put me at ease that I can still continue on my Ketogenic diet I asked my GP if it's is safe to go back on the keto diet she said " Probably not" but never gave me a reason why. Thank you so much Dr KenDBerry💓💓

I was afraid to raise my "damn" cholesterol 😂 but decided after continually gaining weight over the yes & stations making me feel like I was 99 I tried Ketovore March 29. My husband joined me on April 1...He lost 40!! I lost almost 25 even with a tyroid that doesn't work properly. His psoriasis disappeared completely in 3 months. Our up & down moody days disappeared as well. Our motto "Health is wealth" as we r getting ready to retire & want to be well & active. Join us! Although I had to fire my doctor because he is Not on board & did the " I can't help U if U don't take Statins (40mg) & exercise rigorously everyday for at least 30 minutes". Who could when I felt 99?!!! Thanks Dr Berry💓💓

I am 72 years old and weight 233 lbs. I have high blood pressure and I am diabetic. My doctor did some lab work last week and said that my A1c has gone from 7.6 to 6.4, my blood pressures was up a little so she increased my meds. She said my cholesterol was high LDL 100 HDL 70 therefore she insists that I start taking a statin. I told her that I am doing Keto and I am more concerned about lowering my Alc and getting off all meds. She said that the rest of my lab work was good. I don’t want to take statins.

Your videos are incredibly informative, & most importantly, effortless to listen to & absorb.

Your videos are great, especially this one. With info from other videos of yours, I am slowly dropping my weight starting point being 205 pounds from last week. I am now down to 199.3 with diet and daily moderate exercise. Being inside during winter kind of turns some of us into couch potatoes. I get my next doctor's checkup and blood test May 2022. By then I should have my weight down around 190 or less if I stick with my current plan. I am not Diabetic and I am 73 yo, but over the winter I kept on gaining weight and was up to 208 for a while by eating allot carbs, sugar items, and little exercise. Thanks allot

An excellent explanation, giving me some hope. I'm on a Keto program and only a week ago my doctor told me he wants to put me on a statin. I said no, so he said statins are not that bad and that he'll give me one more month and if my cholesterol doesn't improve, I will be put on medication for it. Two days ago I cancelled my next appoinment with my doctor and am grateful I found your video. Thank you Dr Berry, you've put my mind at ease.

@Обычный Парень That seems strange to me because I had high cholesterol when I was a Vegan for 2 years and then I started eating a lot of fat and meat and my cholesterol came back down and is normal all the time now. I guess people have different reactions to the same diets sometimes. I eat tons of good fats and have no problem whatsoever. I'm healthier than I've ever been.

@Обычный Парень I'm glad for you if it works for you but being a very strict Vegan for 2 whole years made my health much, much worse. And I was eating fruits and vegetables and whole grains and hardly any fat at all and I had worsening diabetes, high blood pressure, neuropathy, kidney disease, thyroid disease, retinitis in my eyes plus I had a heart attack. Today I eat a high fat, moderate protein, low carb diet and all those problems are gone and I'm off all that insulin and all those meds and not having to get shots in my eyeballs anymore. If you think I would EVER consider going back to eating rabbit food like you do, you're crazy, my friend.

You'd rather listen to those radical tree-hugger weirdos who don't want you eating any animals. Let me know how you are after 2 years of eating rabbit food like I did and if you're healthy.

And I hope you're not as miserable as I was never being able to eat anything that tastes good. Like steak and prime rib and lobster and crab legs dipped in hot butter and shrimp and burgers and butter and lard and chicken and turkey and duck and cheese and bacon and eggs and ham and pork chops and sausage and roast beef and pork loin and pork chops and all the other good stuff God designated for HUMANS to eat.

@percyhawkins7163 жыл бұрын
@Обычный Парень Well I hope you fry your taters in lard because corn oil and canola oil and other seed oils are toxic. And apple pie is just junk food loaded with harmful oils and gluten and sugar. I never eat junk food. And if you think a cabbage sandwich and beans is good eating then you probably grew up poor and maybe unable to afford decent food. That stuff is for homeless people in a shelter. I can't eat that stuff. And I assume if you think apple pie is health food you were probably eating hot dogs for health when you were a carnivore. But I wish you luck in your endeavor to live that very dull and boring culinary lifestyle if that is what you choose or it's all you can afford. But as for me, give me the corpse of a big ol' Maine Lobster and some hot butter and I'll be fine and much healthier. Good luck!

I had a minor heart attack this past summer after eating keto with no cheating for over a year. I had lost 65 lbs but was slowly gaining weight back; I believe it was due to high cortisol from emotional stress as well as eating past full with no intermittent fasting and lack of exercise. But my doctor and the cardiologist cared only that my LDL was high. They want me on a statin. I refuse, and am dealing with those other three issues first! I’m thankful for all the work you and other doctors are doing to spur the medical community on to update the science and do right by people in medicine and nutrition.

@@chad7789 YES I am. That heart attack was tiny, not massive, took the hospital 2 nights and a day to find (MRI finally divulged one minuscule capillary blocked) and all of a sudden they're writing prescriptions for everything under the sun PLUS hospital food on the "heart patient" list was full of sugar, processed crap! I complained to one of the nurses, telling her I'd never felt better than I have the past year and a half but had a very stressful situation which most likely triggered the release of extra cortisol, and not to blame keto which had totally reversed all my inflammation, healed me of high blood pressure and lowered my thyroid dosage...she agreed, confiding in me that hospitals (and most doctors) were 15 years behind the science. My personal doctor certainly was! She even admits it now.

Great video. I have lost 15kgs (33lbs) on the Keto diet and intermittent fasting and I did that because my fasting blood sugar hit 111 mg/dl with a body weight of 80kgs. My blood sugar now steadily runs between 88 and 95 mg/dg and I feel great, but my doctor called the other day to discuss putting me on Statins because my LDL is up. No mention that I'm no long prediabetic/Type 2 diabetic! Problem in the UK is GPs just follow guidelines and don't follow the science. I won't be accepting Statins and will take my chances!!
