Most heartbreaking is when you have an adult child w all the attending morbidities of obesity and they won’t listen to this and do it.😢

Was told by my cardiologist and GI doctor that "Keto/Low Carb is bad for you. You need to stop that or you'll get sick". So I stopped LCHF back in February. Weight immediately went up. FSBS went up. Got placed on CGM. Got placed on Metformin. Another BP med added. Joints ache. Heartburn back. Having a hard time even walking on treadmill. Not sleeping. As of today, I'm going back to Keto. Experiment over.

I adore this beautiful man. He was sent here to save all our lives😊

At 58 (2019), I was a 215 lbs (5’10” tall) man and miserable: aches and pains in various joints, uncomfortable gut size, gastrointestinal problems, weakened immune system, low energy, on BP meds & statins and so on. When I went hard keto (

Errata/corrections/clarifications: 1) The Women's Health Initiative study had 48,000 women (not 28,000). 2) Dr. Sarah Hallberg and Virta Health did their diabetes reversal study at Indiana University (not Purdue). 3) The Indiana Jones reference was The Last Crusade, and the holy grail knight said: "You have chosen...wisely!" Thanks for all feedback! - Dr Westman

I'm four months carnivore. Lost 40 lbs, no more snoring, better eyesight, no more allergies, don't get sunburn, better skin, better energy, brain fog gone, no more constant hunger, blood pressure down, resting pulse down, and mood is better.

My Doc didn't even tell me to lose weight when I had high blood pressure.He prescribed a medication and didn't even tell me that changing my diet would do the same thing .I went low carb and no sugar , with weight loss and my blood pressure gradually normalised .I think Doctors should have to , at least, explain that medications are only one way of improving metabolic conditions .

This is the best video I have ever watched with Dr. Westman: perhaps he presents best in this type of relaxed atmosphere. Everything was clear and understandable. Thank you, Dr. Westman!

10 years now on keto. What really bugs me is studies that claim to study low-carb vs whatever but the amount of carb they consider low is WAAAY too much. High fat with substantial carb is a DISASTER.

Doctors like Westman give me hope for the future of medicine.

Dr Westman is hilarious. Always makes a talk more engaging!

What a charming way to explain the Ketogenic diet. ❤ Dr. Westman😊

Dr Westman is a gem in the low carb world. Data & research to back up real results.

“It’s OK to NOT be on a drug!” Such a profound statement by Dr. Westman. I’m logging it here in case anyone missed it what a simple truth!

I have an appointment with Dr. Westman in September. I can’t wait!

Thank Dr Westman for all you. Please continue your work with so many people that need you.

Thanks to Keto Chow and Dr. Eric Westman for this video. He even talks about Stephen Phinney and Jeff Volek, two of the all-time greats in Low Carb High Fat / Keto / Carnivore. :)

He doesn’t say anything that has not been strongly scientifically indicated. I trust his high standards and his passion for keto and Dr. Atkins.

Thanks for shouting out the nurse!!

4 years and counting. Helped me with my mucosal melanoma. No keto chow or bullet proof coffee. Very simple straightforward keto!

Ive been on dirty keto (cant get off the frito pie) for over 5yrs. Went to the doc and she told me my cholesterol was high and wanted to put me on statins. I said no because my arteries were fine. She said im gonna send u to get them checked out. And she made me promise t take the statins if I had blockage. My results came in...NO BLOCKAGE! She smiled and said "no heart desease". 😊

This is my new video that I share with anyone who asks me why I’m so healthy and what I did to get there. Thank you Dr. Westman, for the time you spent with me on the cruise, and for spreading the word for the future of medicine. Not medication…MEDICINE.

I changed to low carb because I was diagnosed with diabetes in Oct 2021. After only 2 months on low carb I had to reduce my BP drug by half. Another 2 months later I again had to reduce it by half. So I've gone from 10mg down to 2.5mg, which I have decided to stay on because I have back issues which cause almost permanent low grade discomfort which I think is causing my BP to be a bit higher than normal. And the diabetes was remitted in only 3 months.!!! My waist measurement went from 44" to 37" and I lost weight without even trying. And I am no longer a slave to food.

3 years for me, I lost 24 kg, no pains anymore, slim, and fit best thing I've ever done

AND a diabetic family member is being told by his dietician to eat “whole grains, low saturated fats, lots of fruits and veges no red meat. “ They have GAINED weight and the neuropathy is worse than ever. so upsetting.

@Dr. Eric Westman, You’re from Wisconsin, another reason to like and respect you! Wonderful presentation !

Terrific presentation!! Dr Eric is such a charming scientist doctor!! Thank you!!

Dr. Westman!! By far... one of THE BEST presentations of yours TO DATE! Please please please DON'T EVER RETIRE! You are amazing! THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU'VE DONE & continue to do!

Mr Westman is very courageous to say our medical field today is all about drugs..

Westman is a real goofball. I love it.

It's such an honour to be there and hear Dr Westman alive! But for all of us it's blessing to have this opportunity to watch him at least on YT. Thanks for video!

I met Dr Westman at the 2016 Low Carb Conference(sat next to him at one of the presentations). We didn’t talk really but what he presents here-evidence based!!-and his lectures are vital to understanding what is happening to everyone. 50% or more of us in the USA are obese. I delved into this in 2015 becfause I just didn’t understand why I couldnt lose that last 15lbs after YEARS of exercising. I ate high carbs low fat. This is so important . I know many trim athletic peole who are getting prediabetic as well.

I am on day 2 of his program. I worked my weight loss over the past 18-24 mos and loss and kept off 67 lbs on my own. I have been doing a lot of research and I have decided to not do it the way I was doing it. Reading his books and if you want to loose fat/weight don't add a lot of additional fat. Omit cheese/nuts and know your trigger foods. I am looking forward to completing the induction program as many times as I need then to the next phase and lifetime maintenance.

Will be meeting Dr Westman and Dr Berry in August and I can hardly wait. Ketochow thank you for all you do!!!!

I started Keto with you & lost the weight finally! Became a huge believer and I have been a believer ever since. Glad to see more of your videos! Funny & inspiring 🎉🥰🎉

Far beyond outstanding! Exceptional, informative, empowering speech. Need more like Dr. Westman in health and medical field, especially these days. Round of applause 👏 👏

I did keto 5 yrs ago and lost 60 lbs. but it was so complicated and I just got tried of it. It was exhausting I kept it up for 3 yrs and gradually went back to my old eating habits all the while beating myself up and I gained back 30 lbs. telling myself I am lazy, getting more and more depressed telling myself it doesn't matter how fat I am. Today I caught your video and i feel hopeful that I can get back to keto but to do it very differently than I did before. Thank you for your video

Eric, Your best talk ever! Thanks for the encouragement. John Madany MD

Great information. Dr. Westman is so down to earth!! Loved this talk!!

Doc, you look great! I have been following you for decades, and you seem to be aging in reverse. You have improved the lives of me and my wife. Many Thanks.

Low carb 2 years and counting now! 🎉 ❤

Thank you Dr Westman!

Thank you for all your work Dr Westman. I did come to keto through your video explaining keto diet in your clinic. With that knowledge I was able to reach 5 family members in definite need of this info. I had them all watch it. All of us achieved amazing 30-110 pound weight loss results. Unfortunately most of us returned to old ways of eating and slowly gained back most if not all the weight. However, like in AA - once the malady is revealed you can’t not know it! 🤔 I am happy to report that myself and all the family members have picked themselves back up and are making their way to a much healthier way of eating and lifestyle again based on a low carb diet👍

Doc, you’re a funny guy! And of course you are absolutely right. More power to you !

I started using a ketogenic diet in 2017. I've lost 75 lbs of bodyfat while increasing muscle mass. Low carb for life!

I'm so glad I was able to go through the Keto Made Simple class. I'm not perfect, but when I follow it I feel better. There are several people I wish would watch this video. I'd like to hear more about how to do it without cooking! I hate all the pots and pans I have to deal with.

Thanks for the shout out to McMaster. I was in the first class of nurses they taught EB practice. Started year 1 in 1977. We were oddballs at the time but now I feel blessed to be there taught by the now famous pioneers. Genius.

Oh man I wish I had been on this cruise so many good presentations. I hate I missed it. Love, Eric Westman.

Thank you, Dr. Westman!!!

A very interesting 20 years. Thanks for the great talk and your continuing teaching.

Awesome presentation! Thank You Dr Westman.

This was a great presentation! Dr. Westman brings so much knowledge to the space. He has such a likeable presence. I’ve taken his intensive class. Highly recommend. Can’t say enough good things about him. Also, thank you Keto Chow for sharing these presentations and for the generosity you always have with people in this space. I use your daily minerals and make “ice cream” in the blender with Keto Chow. Perfect in our hot, humid, South Georgia summers.

OK schools? I went to The University of Wisconsin. At the time, the #2 school in Chemical Engineering. Great presentation Dr. Westman. I'm doing low carb myself. My TG/HDL ratio is 0.7. I took myself off of pravastatin a month before the blood work. No more muscle and joint aches. My Dr. asked if I wanted to try a different statin?! I said, "you are kidding, right?" Most docs just don't get it.

Great presentation Dr Westman ❤

Thank you Dr. Westman for your honesty. You have helped so many people.

I've only been on the Keto diet for a month and I've already lost 14lb.

Dr Westman needs to be nominated for the 2024 Medical Noble Prize

Thanks for the info! VERY glad you tell people about not taking insulin when blood sugar is below a certain level. I was dosing for carbs in meals even when my blood sugar was in the normal range for diabetics. 105-125 ml/dl. Instructions should have been if over 150, dose for carbs AND every 15 points over... Always in the 85-110 range now shooting for an average in the 90-95.

My new hero for chronic disease

Really enjoyed this. The info was very interesting and I loved the humour.

Great talk. Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Your Awesome Dr .Westman. Thank you for All you do.💖🙏🏼🍥

Thank you

Excellent talk!

Excellent information - thank you and keep up the good fight.

Best Dr Westman.. love the humor..makes it just simple.

As always,insightful and delightful. Thank you Dr. Westman for being who you are and helping so many people,including me) change their lives.

Very much appreciated

Love this guy...

I do a mix of Keto and Mediterranean diet and works for me. My weight is stable no need to lose more and eat twice a day. 6-hour window to eat and 18 hours of fasting. I feel when you are older eating twice a day is enough!

Such a charming dr

Great talk

Great video!!

Am loving this. Was raised Lutheran also.❤ your videos.

I love Dr. Westman!

Awesome talk

Another laid back great presentation! Must be the vacation mode😊😊😊.

A lot of people go on the Keto Lifestyle to lose weight but the benefits are much more far reaching. Its all about keeping the insulin silent most of the time.

Excelente video 💚

Excellent.

This made my weekend. Thank you for posting!

Great vid love they take away message eat mostly protein and non startchy veg. I dont feel hungry or hangry anymore.

One of your best talks!!

I love him!! I live 10 minutes away from his clinic. Called to make an appt when I started keto 1 1/2 years ago. They only take patients needing to lose weight and I'm very thin trying to figure out how not to lose weight. Needless to say I won't be his patient 🤣

Outstanding presentation!

Very affable chap.

I like simply approach. 88 years old. Struggling with aftereffect of undiagnosed, Celiac disease. Off all carbs 2 weeks ago after 2 years of gradually reducing unhealthy foods. Spent 4 nights urinating every 2; hours. Went back to carbs. Now trying to gradually reduce the ones I had left which were ice cream and potato chips!😢

Dr. Westman….fantastic as usual!

Thank you Dr. You are called to save a drowning generation

Hello from Madison, WI! I am new here. I would love to get my husband into your clinic. The Dr. Keeps upping his meds (high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes. He's very skeptical.

Another great presentation! 😊

Top man

Love you Doc Eric, you’re always soft spoken, easy to understand all your explanations. Where can i get the 20g total carbs in carnivore keto diet?? Watching from Philippines 🇵🇭

Madison, my home town!!!

let's just make a good Longitudinal research on the diet. I think this is the way to stop people from jumping into the CARB river. 10x for the video!

I disagree slightly about what “fixes” The health conditions you mentioned. I think it’s the SAD diet that caused the problem with pre diabetes/T2/insulin resistance and those are the conditions that caused the weight problem. The weight gain, in my understanding, is a symptom. You lose weight because you’re fixing the insulin problem, you’re not fixing the insulin problem by losing weight.

great video. any thoughts on the sunflower oil in keto chow? does this bother anyone else

Carbs are there for entertainment😊...to quote dr elizabeth bright

Talking about the argument of it being sustainable. They then talk about what people “should do” for healthy eating clearly that is NOT sustainable and all you have to do is look at people in the grocery store! This way of eating saved my life!!!
