I’ve been on Keto since July and have lost 70 pounds. My skin tags have shrunk, my grey hair is getting dark again(???), I cured my plantar fasciitis and my mental clarity and alertness is amazing. I’m 54 and my body is reverting to my 30 year old body. It’s amazing. My wife has lost 100 pounds, nearly nullified her PCOS and her skin looks like she’s 30 again.
ForgiveAndLove09 My wife had beautiful straight Asian hair and after 2 children her hair got oldy kinked and wavy. After becoming fat adapted on her Keto journey, her hair reset to her old healthy straight hair. You can see a line between the old and new. This way of eating never ceases to amaze me.
I have two teenage daughters. One decided she was going to address her severe acne by startng Keto. The other has done nothing to change her ways. My Keto daughter's acne has completely cleared. She had acne on her chest and back which disappeared first. We went to the dermologist for years and did every treatment with little results other than a destroyed micro biome. Once she got her biome repaired and stopped spiking her sugar the acne started clearing up. Our dermatologist told us that diet doesn't cause acne. My Carbo daughter still has severe acne. She went on a round of antibiotics which resulted in triggering eczema. Hopefully we can bring her to the other side.
I am raised in the south. 90% of our diet is carbs at some form or fashion. I have been doing keto against my doctor’s advisements for 2 years. After my 1 year check up he said continue with my diet and exercise. Numbers on my blood work went from crap to great! I didn’t take the medication I had been suggested and tried it another 6 months after they wanted me to get on drugs. BIG PHARMA is bull crap! I did it all with diet and I’m so proud of myself. My asthma, allergies to my dog, skin problems with acne (at 30 , skin tags and stomach problems have disappeared! My body works best on keto/low carb and I am so proud Dr. Kenn Berry explained why it is all working!! Thank you!!! My dad has pancreas cancer, 3 of 4 grandparents had dementia. I’m fighting it with all I have to do better and live longer!
I love this and agree with you: this way of eating works really well for me, too! As a fellow Southerner, I know what you mean about our regional dishes. I found the Southern Keto cookbook, and holy cow--it's incredible! I recommend it to everyone I know. There's a second cookbook out now, too. Yay! : )
Exactly what the dermatologist said to me. "You just have to live with it" "You will have psoriasis for life"... I changed my diet and its almost gone now
It would have been nice for one of the yt Dr's to tell us that not a psoriasis is the same. Hand and foot psoriasis is from a bacterial infection I discovered after doing all their things that said it would fix it over the last 10 yrs. Nothing helped until I treated mine with colidial silver, and gargled with peroxide salt baking soda and distilled water. Not one of these Dr's has distinguished that there is a difference in the types of psoriasis.
@@relaxingrain9484 how long were you on the diet for before you started to notice a difference? I’m a week in on the carnivore diet trying to get rid of scalp psoriasis.
I was diagnosed with rosacea. I was instantly suspicious when the dermatologist prescribed BOTH a steroid cream and an antibiotic. So I piped up during the appointment: "This pair of prescriptions tells me that you don't know what to do about this condition." He turned on his heel and walked out of the exam room. I called a pharmacy and was told that each prescription cost between $55 and $60. I didn't fill either one. An over-the-counter calendula preparation helped, but my rosacea didn't really go away until I'd eaten a low-carb diet for a month. Woo-hoo! All fixed, without drugs!
I too have rosacea and it improved greatly after losing over 100lbs and going low carb. Nothing prescribed to me helped in the least. It only flares somewhat when I'm stressed and even then it's not as drastic as it used to be. I never had much of the acne related to rosacea so I was lucky with that.
I’m wanna hug your neck right now!!!! I literally had an appointment with a dermatologist a few weeks ago, and point blank asked him why my psoriasis clears up when I eat keto, and he assured me the two were not linked. And I thought he was crazy!!.. A little back story, i have SEVERE plaque psoriasis. And I’ve had it for about 20 years now. I’ve had years where it’s not too bad, I’ve had years where I’ve been 90%-95% covered!! As a teenager I was put in a drug study for Enbrel, cause it was so bad, and I had been thru about every steroid cream/foam/drop/ointment/shampoo that was on the shelves. And I thought way back then Enbrel was a miracle!! I was 17, and no one ever told me this was suppressing my immune system. And at 17, I was just so happy I finally looked normal, I didn’t ask a lot of questions. Fast towards a few years. I got pregnant a few times, so I got off the medicine, and stayed pretty clear for a while. Then after 3 kids, stress took over, and my weight went up, and my psoriasis raged back!! Unknowing all the benefits of keto, I started on the diet for the first time about 3 years ago. I did it for weight loss, but I soon learned it did so much more for my body!! It was about 6-8 months in to eating keto that I noticed my skin was calming down. Need mind you, it was so flared, it hurt to move most days I was that covered, on my torso and all. Once I started noticing my skin clear, I starting doing more research on keto, and learned a lot! About how it takes the inflammatory foods away and all that goes in tail with it. Well, I did good a few years, and then we had a little thing called Hurricane Michael wile our county off the map, and I lost track of everything for a while, including my eating, and my health. And that almost 3 years I had worked on getting weight off and reversing my diabetes, and calming my psoriasis.. With in a years time, I was right back where I had started. I finally got my mind right, and got myself back on track with keto in December. 15 months after the hurricane. And I’m already down 30 lbs, and my skin is Sooo about much calmer. I’m probably only 25%-30% covered now, and I’m not irritated. The spots I have don’t hurt!! My primary doc still recommended I go to a dermatologist since it wasn’t completely clearing; so I did. And that’s why I wanna hug your neck! He told me there was no link to diet and psoriasis. And I point blank asked him, “So, why when I follow a keto diet does my skin calm down?” He literally said “Well, I’m not sure.. It does look great. But, we’ll give you 2 cream for your body, 2 scalp treatments, and this pull to take to clear it the rest of the way up” 🙄🙄 No thank you! I’m just keeping on keto, and not letting myself get off track this time. I don’t know how my diabetes is, but I feel like it’s a lot better. I get my A1c checked again in April.. Anyways, sorry this was so long! Hope you can read this, and want you to know I really appreciate your videos, your options, and your knowledge. And that you share it all with us, and the world! ❤️
I did Keto most of last year and my eczema went away. I stopped over the holidays and gained a lot of weight back...eczema back too. I’m back on Keto now.
I started low-carb diet, 6 months ago, then added intermittent fasting, 5 months ago; I am 75, somewhat "old." I am seeing so many improvements of my various skin conditions, like thicker skin, smoother skin, no more tags, no crocodile skin, warmer hands and shockingly hair regrow on my bald top of my head. Not yet full hair density, the skin is still visible under my hair, still short hair, but at least lots of hair on my previously totally bald top. I am sure that my internal organs are going a similar healing process. I plan to lower my carbs so to be nearer to keto; now, I eat less than 100 grams carb a day. I follow a 20 hours of daily intermittent fasting. This prove that IF and low carbs are safe for older people.
Marcel, I am so delighted to read your comment, as I am shortly turning 71 and my skin is very dry and flaky and I've noticed some hear loss at the top of my scalp. I otherwise have very thick hair, but seeing the balding spot has been very worrying. I've started 18 hr IF now and a low carb diet. So hopefully, I will see similar results as yourself!
Congratulations! I'm so grateful you posted your comment. I am 63 and struggling with itchy red eyes. I have started Keto and IF but am frustrated with lack of improvement. How long does it take?
@@Marcel-dx5hl Yes, I did see two, but both said they were okay. I even tried Manuka honey in my eyes, which did give me some relief, but only temporarily. If only I knew for certain what to eat. : (
I have not noticed any skin changes other than my toenail fungus went away after 30 years. I am no longer embarrassed for someone to notice that. My toes are beautiful now.
Thank you dr Berry. I’ve listen for 3 yr now. Became keto 2 yrs ago. Lost weight, reversed fatty liver, reversed type 2 diabetes. I’m walking and have one prob. A rash that is relentless. My dr wants me on Dupexent for atopic dermatitis. All she did is look at it. I think it’s time for me to do BBBE the right way and quit messing around. I’m slightly miserable with my skin and I’m almost to BBBE anyway so I’m gonna start with Joe and Rachel on October 15. I’m hoping it helps. I honestly think it’s something that I’m eating and I don’t eat that much. My window is eight hours and more ketovore so it’s time. I’m techno challenged, but my plan is to join y’all’s group too. Thanks for all you do
@@thesunnyedge yay!! thank you so much for responding to my question. I have done research but can't seem to find a specialty in Endocrine Nurse Practioner. Please, do you know if there is a specialty in that?
Iheoma Chieke you’re welcome. ☺️ I believe Duke University has an endocrinology program for NPs however most NPs are either family or acute certified and then receive their specialty training (such as surgery, ER, dermatology, etc. on the job. Hope this helps!
I can confirm this. I have had adult cystic acne for years. I have tried everything to control it. Spent lots of money on pills, antibotics, topicals, laser treatments, peels, you name it I have done it. I tried the Keto diet last year, and within a month, my entire acne was cleared up. It took me 25 years to find something that would work, and keto managed to do it in a month. The diet works!!!
At 25 I developed psoriasis I'm now 74 been on Keto 2 years psoriasis left me completely about 1-1/2 years ago. Now I'm working on leaving asthma in the rear view mirror. Lova ya Doc!!!
Oh my gosh.....my doctor said those same exact words for my eczema. Pharma cream did nothing. Every cream on the market did not work. My fingers were so bad....split and bloodied. I have Hashimotos. Keto cleared this up my the second week and has never came back. I have passed forward my experience with my keto/carnivore lifestyle. I am so happy.
I've had skin tags for 30-40 years in my armpits and around them. I started noticing them in high school. I have been eating a pretty strict Keto/Carnivore diet for 5 months and the skin tags under both arms are gone. At first I didn't believe this was possible, but I am now convinced the change in my eating habits are the reason for the changes.
Skin tags is what got me looking into why they were forming on my body.4 months on strict clean keto/IF and they’ve all fallen off, lost 53 pounds, off BP meds, and two antidepressants. I wish I could shout to the world how amazing this way of life is!!!
I have to say that after only 2 months on the ketogenic diet, my vasculitis, keratosis pilaris, chronic scalp sores have improved 90%, I no longer have arthritis pain, have lost 16 pounds, and have more energy and alertness. Love this way of living!
I have been living Keto since April 2019, Carnivore since 1/1/20. Living Keto my skin tags vanished. Eczema and Psoriasis which I had suffered from since I was a child began to vanish. Since living Carnivore, my patch of Vitiligo on my right hand is slowly getting its pigment back! It Works! Also I have lost more than 65 lbs. and still dropping! I can trim my toe nails and breath at the same time! By the Grace of God, Keto\Carnivore has saved my life!
I have had sévère psoriasis for many years and tried many diets ( jucing, no dairy, no gluten, no alcohol, etc) I started keto ( 40 gr of carbs and less per day) 3 weeks ago and i pray that this time i will heal How long before you saw skin improvement ? Thank you very much
I have been on keto for just a week and noticed my psoriasis shrinked .only after researching i realised its due to the diet. It needs to reach a wider audience! So many people are hopelessly suffering. Thank you so much for bringing in clarity to the topic! ❤️
Am almost 60 and on keto one year. Have not used metro gel on rosacea since, no seasonal cold sore this year, most actinic keratoses have come to the surface and sloughed off, my skin doesn’t burn in the sun, 2 lipomas shrank away, and smoother skin in general. Am hoping that the chronic winter cracking on a few fingertips might improve, but then again I expected NONE of the above, and I also benefitted in many other off-topic ways. Thanks for your videos!
I have been doing low carb/intermittent fasting for just less than a year, have cured my type 2 no meds, halved my blood pressure meds, skin tags are getting smaller and rosacea is gone. 😀
I am a Senior!! I had really thin and flaking skin that itched constantly!! My skin was so thin that even brushing it slightly on couch material that it would cause friction, and bleeding would occur!! Since switching to a KETO DIET in 12/19, I no longer have a problem with Dry Skin, Abrasion or Itching!!!
You forgot keratosis pilaris! I have been eating keto for just over a year and my KP is SO much better! My kids have even noticed that the skin on my arms is so smooth! Thanks, Dr. Berry! Keto has improved my life in so many ways!
DUDE!! I didn't even put those 2 things together! I've had keratosis pilaris since I was like 12. I was full keto Aug-Feb (family tragedies and tons of drama pushed mama back to eating carbs temporarily) and I didn't even put together that my keratosis had greatly reduced during keto! I actually had smooth arms for once! Whoa. You might be on to something!
Me too! I have had KP for almost 50 years, and had to live with it, and hope no one ever touched my arms. I have been doing keto for 6 months, and when I read this, I ran my hand under my sleeve and no more bumps! I am amazed! And very thankful!
67 years old, I went KETO and intermittent fasting, when after a year of fighting T2 Diabetes and seeing little improvement in my numbers. Long story short, my numbers drastically improved from the first day, am no longer take meds for my diabetes, losing weight, have more energy and focus. A side benefit of all this, is I had dozens of skin tags on my arm pits, and now they are nearly all gone and the ones that are left are smaller and continue to shrink/dry up, age spots on my hands are fading, and moles are are going away as well. My Dr. is amazed at my health progress, pretty sure I will be losing some meds for BP next appointment. :)
I transitioned to 100% keto and 4:20 intermittent fasting in November 2017. During the years before that, I was diagnosed with basal and squamous cell carcinoma several times. The frequency had led my dermatologist to insist on seeing me every 6 months. Since starting keto and IF I've had neither basal nor squamous, and in 2018 the doc changed me back to yearly checkups. Knowing about the cancer limiting benefits of keto, I recently wondered whether my body had simply run its course of skin cancers or whether keto and IF were the cause. This video makes me lean heavily towards the latter. Something marvelous happened at a prior cancer site. I had squamous cell just above my right ankle. It was not excised - I'm not sure of the correct term, but a laser was used to destroy it. It was about the size of a nickel and took months to heal, and when eventually the final scab fell off, it irritated me constantly and looked horrible, like I had been tattooed with a brown, rough edged circle. Two months after I started keto and IF, a day after my first extended fast of 40 hours, the skin erupted and bled, and reverted to the raw state that it had been shortly after the procedure. Not fully understanding the benefits of keto and IF, I assumed that the cancer had come back and made an appointment to see the doc. The amazing thing was that within a couple of days it had scabbed over, and in about two weeks had healed completely, no longer looking unsightly. And best of all, no more irritation. Was this a case of autophagy at its best? Convincing enough for me to wholeheartedly champion keto and IF with regular extended fasts.
Congratulations! Thank you for sharing your story. I am new to Keto and IF, and would be more patient if I knew improvement were certain. I wonder how long I must wait, and whether it's related to age, i.e., how long you polluted the body. I'm 63.
@@TerriblePerfection I'm 65, so age probably has nothing to do with it. There's great information out there, but listen to your body and use trial and error to find out what works for you.
My cousin told me she was allergic to corn oil and breaks out with acne. Without sugar my skin looks fantastic. No more cracked, flakey heels, no more fine lines on my forehead and skin tags are getting smaller. ♥️♥️♥️
I have been keto with IF for almost 10 years. I had multiple seborrheic keratoses on my back and under my arms all along the bra line. They all completely resolved with no further production.
Meat, eggs and fish gradually in the span of a few weeks to a few months healed my: - aggressive acne - psoriasis - eczema No joke couldn't believe it, but here we are. Thank you, Dr. Berry!
Went on the keto diet to reverse a fatty liver. Within 8 months my tests came back normal. Then I heard Dr Berry talk about skin tags going away. Without even realizing it, in fact, ALL my skin tags are 100% gone. That was an unexpected benefit. Thanks Dr Berry!
Did it take the whole 8 months for tests to show normal? Been keto for 7 weeks and tests came back 2 days ago. Blood glucose coming down but a ways to go to call it normal.
I've been on keto for half a year. I used to have severe bowel problems, severe acne and scars, and allergic reactions...not to talk about mood ups and crashing downs. None of that anymore.
Not only has my Rosacea greatly improved, but so have the bumps on the backs of my upper arms and upper legs, which I have had since a child! (I'm now 58) I have always had very dry skin and very rough, cracked heels. ALL ARE GONE!! My husband even commented on how soft my skin feels now. My heels look better than they ever have, so smooth, it amazes me! Can't wait to start wearing my sandals! And I no long have to slather myself with a ton of lotion every morning! Thank you Dr Barry!
OMG Thank you Dr Berry. I've been pretty much Keto eating for 2 years now. You mentioned skin tags in this video. I checked my skin tags, which cuz I'm almost 78 thought they were mine till death. They've all disappeared. I don't know when it happened but they are gone. Now if my wrinkles would disappear. Never going back to carbs.
My daughter has lots of skin issues...psoriasis acne and skin darkening.. she's doing IF throu Keto is not that possible for her.. however there is excellent improvement in her skin condition...acne gone face skin with dark patches gone and psoriasis slowly improving for the better...kudos to all the Doctors who are taking their time and effort to make us what we thought as impossible... Salutes to all Doctors and health care providers for letting the world know what is good food and good life. 🙏
I had acne conglobata (very severe acne) and 3 dermatologists told me I had to go on prednisone (immunosuppressant) and accutane. The dermatologists had no idea how these worked and thought diet has nothing to do with the skin. I decided to go on a ketogenic diet because it seemed more likely to work and has a lot less side affects. It started clearing up within a few weeks and only comes back when I eat something inflammatory. I found that the only things I can eat are grass fed beef, macadamia nuts, and butter. I tried spinach, almonds, and a few other foods but they cause my skin to get irritated. I think the root of the problem might be leaky gut so I am taking gelatin.
I am 67 years old and have been bald for 40 years and had painful eczema around my eyes for 10 years and skin tags and hay fever for 30 years. My hair is growing back and all my other issues have gone after being on a Keto way of life for the past 18 months. Would encourage anyone to give it a try.
When I got into my 40s I started having acne problems on my face. I had redness, breakouts. I got the expensive creams that did not work. I've been on KETO since Jan 2019. I have no more break outs, No redness, No pimples that looks gross. My face is clear and smooth, soft. Now I just use a basic skin care wash my face night and day. I don't have to worry about putting on no acne cream.
You are spot on! My dad and I both had seborrheic dermatitis on the sides of the nose as you mentioned. Steroids were prescribed but didn't work well. I also had IBS, frequently cystic acne, and problems staying asleep. Cutting wheat and gluten cleared up the dermatitis. Keto (and eliminating chemical-loaded processed food) fixed all the others.
Hate meat, but my palm Eczema decreased by 70%... This is insane to me as a former plant based practitioner I love me some beans tomatoes etc. I have battled with this issue for around 9 years. 9 years of avoiding handshakes and holding the market cart with only the tips of my fingers... Now I've decided to try carnivore diet as an elimination diet Only a week in and my palm eczema decreased visibly by 70%. I do not know if its going to flair again in a week, but for now it looks like its healing
I had Rosacea acne (with postures & pustules) for several years before starting the Keto diet in May 2019. I tried many expensive creams that didn’t help - the thing that helped the most was an antibiotic pill which I didn’t want to take continually. My skin has been clear since May!! So thankful.
Thank you, Dr. Berry. My keto journey: Eating carbs (pasta, bread, rice, sugar, processed food, etc.) makes my skin issues flare up. When my body started to reject these items (at the age of 49! Was fine before!), my hands broke out into a rash. I went to an allergist and he did a "chemical" allergy test on my back (he didn't tell me there were three different tests to choose from...) and gave me the name of ONE chemical that I was allergic to. He didn't bother to do a food allergy test. When I first saw him, I was very impressed with him. On my visit to have him give me the test results where he told me I had exzcema, I asked him why now? He said it was "my time in the bucket." ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? I lost all respect for him at that time. He also proceeded to try to prescribe a nasal spray and a daily allergy pill - for my very minimal seasonal allergies that was not brought up at any of my visits!! In the duration of my visits with him, he prescribed some cream for my hands. Said it would sting a little bit, but that was normal. Well, it did sting, and it enflamed the rash. I ended up having a staph infection. Had to do my own research to heal myself. I have many friends that express their concerns over things like this and I tell them my story. They still think that they need creams and pills to put on and in their body to heal it. Please consider eating a keto diet for any health issues you may have. It's a start, and it's better than pumping drugs into your body.
I started keto June 2019 and have not have a cold sore since. I used to get them every 3 to 6 months. I'm thinking keto helped. My skin tags have shrunk as well.
Dermatologist should not be allowed to collect fees from patients or medical system. Billion$ in waste with this group. Dare call it fraud? How many times do you read in these comments of people whose dermatologist has said none of this is diet related?
Wow! I am 25 years old and have just been diagnosed with rosacea. I was told it is incurable and will most likely continue to get worse with age. This video has given me so much hope as I have been so upset and discouraged. Thank you so much!
@@gabriel5738Hi! I was really strict with my diet, tried several different diets and nothing seemed to work. I worked with naturopathic drs, did all kinds of detoxes and herbal remedies and still no luck I noticed a slight difference but I was still struggling. Until I started meditating and learning to change who I am as a person mentally and emotionally. That has made all the difference. I eat all the food I want now (of course not just junk, I eat a balanced diet 80/20 rule) and my skin is great 😊 if I begin to slip into negative thoughts and behaviors and let my emotions get the best of me I will instantly start to feel the warmth in my cheeks and slowly begin to get red. As soon as I draw my energy back to myself my redness and heat goes away. Im sure this isn’t the response you were expecting but I think health conditions are just not what we think they are 😊 best of luck to you.

Rose Cotton even on a carnivore diet, my rosacea will flare up! I wish I could figure this out. If you have any thoughts/suggestions please let me know 🌼
I had a weird little blemish wart-thingy on my ankle for years, and at one point doc tried to remove with CO2, but it came back. It was gone after 3 months on Keto. Occasional break outs on face also stopped.
Started this diet the last week of 2019 and of a truth, simply amazing, Gerd gone, High Blood Pressure gone, Skin clearing up don't know what I had just scalp itching drove me crazy, but mostly during winter, 29 lbs. lost in the first month and do feel so much better with way more energy. I thank God in Jesus Christ name I ran across his videos and had the courage and the will power to make a change for myself.
I’ve been low-carb for six years and went carnivore in early 2019. This completely reversed my gout. I was on allopurinol every day. Hair loss is a common side effect of this drug. I have been completely off allopurinol for over a year. My skin, hair, and overall health have improved tremendously. I look and feel better than I ever have in my 58 years of life. Thank you, Dr. Berry!
I have pretty regular blood work done. I know my cholesterol went down 20 points after I went carnivore. I haven’t had my uric acid tested in a while, but gout symptoms are gone. No tart cherry or ACV anymore.
Noah Ahmed I’ve heard it recommended that someone try it for a month and just see how it works for you. Everyone is different. It has been a healing change of life for me. I was on seven daily medications in 2017. I’m down to one daily. Working my way to zero! Plus, it’s so freeing. No need for sides. I eat meat, eggs, and cheese. Purist would say no cheese. I’m not emotionally ready to give up my cheese. Lol! I occasionally add tomato sauce to certain dishes. I use it very sparingly and not very often.
@@boffman4134 , I'm not gonna lie. I'm not really sure, I just happen to notice one morning getting ready for work that I needed to put on blush. I didn't own any and had to borrow from my daughter. I was, probably, 6 months in....
If dandruff counts as a skin condition, then add it to the list. I used Head and Shoulders from age 18-49 until I realized my flaky scalp wasn't flaky any more.
I had dry skin on my elbows for at least 30 years. A short time after starting keto the dryness went away. I have lost quite a few pounds with keto and when I tell people how much better I feel, they say its because I lost weight. I respond with you want to explain how my elbows became less dry and my gums and teeth got better from weight loss alone.
I have Alopecia Areata - I cut out a whole lot of sugar and teensy fair hairs started appearing on my Charlie Brown scalp. My eyebrow hairs are reappearing. I'm now keto to get rid of that underlying inflammation and have hope for the first time of having my previously thick hair back. Yep a dermatologist told me I just have to live with it and accept it. Well I beg to differ. I'm keto and hopefully I will be nice and hairy too!
For almost 20 years I've been getting hive like rashes all over my face. I went to dermatologist after dermatologist who would then refer me to allergy specialists & back and forth. Neither one can figure out what it was. I finally had a biopsy done & they determined it was some type of dermatitis & I would just have to deal with it because there was no known reason as to what was causing it and there was no way to prevent it. I started doing Keto almost a year ago for weight loss & not only did I loose weight I noticed 2 months into it I had no signs of the rash. To this date I have not had a breakout. 🙌
D DAZ I have seborrheic dermatitis mainly on scalp some on face and inside and around my ear etc I hope this works and mainly heals keto looks hard but I’m willing to do whatever because I’m losing hair and my hair is so dry and brittle from this
@@noahahmed8247 Noah Ahmed Yes, give it a try. Honestly, it is the easiest diet I have ever been on, & I've tried them all. I hope it works out just as well for you as it has for me.
heyy sorry to bother you again but when you started the keto did you cut out like sugar carbs and dairy? and like was it little calories? im still like not fully understanding the keto diet if im honest and can i drink almond milk if dairy is cut?
@@noahahmed8247 no bother at all. I would recommend you check out TH-cam videos that show you how to calculate your macros & also how to use a tracking app such as carb manager or my fitness pal which will allow you to input your macros.
Yes. I had episodes of rosacea as well as age spots (aka: solar lentigines.) Both went away once I changed my high carb diet (the rosacea within a week's time.) Also dark under eye circles disappeared. I can often spot a child fed a heavy carb diet by the dark circles under their eyes. See if you find the same.
I've been keto then carnivore for 3.5 yrs now. The effect on skin is unmistakable and positive. Now when I see someone with a skin condition I always notice that they have a high carb high sugar diet.
My face was blood red I went to the Dermatologist, he said I have Rosacea and the medicine is very expensive. He was quite cold and judgemental, so I left without asking how much it cost? So I went around with a blood red face for a while, until I found another dermatologist that recommended Elta MD . In short the carnivore diet is the answer. Thankful for you 💛
Do cool to hear what you’re saying. I’ve been trying to tell people this for years. I didn’t know what Ketogenic was but knew diet heals most skin conditions. Heal the gut and the immune system and we heal our bodies. Anti inflammatory, and a good gut biology is a healthy person. Keto-ish just happens to coincide with this . Thanks Dr. Berry
I have been on Keto for almost 5 months now. The first month or two all of a sudden I noticed the skin tags around my neck were gone! I have lost 25 pounds(slow, compared to some, but great anyway.) and gotten my A1c down to 6.0 from 6.5, so I am pre-diabetic now....I will keep going and hope to see the skin on my legs improve(veinous insufficiency and neuropathy have caused problems).
I lost weight 10 kg without any issues, feel awesome, fast 16 hours a day with no hunger, no more sickness or flu.. food tastes great. Keto all the way forever!
I have been doing Keto since January, I’ve lost 35lbs and amazingly my very cracked heels have healed and I have several large hard lipomas that have shrunk. Never going back to my former way of eating.
I had rosacea and acne. Was told I would always have it. My husband had skin tags and eczema. All of these are gone after 2 months of both of us on keto!
Massive thanks to you Doc,, I started keto 5 months ago, I started it for joint pain, now I've no joint pain, no belly, no IBS, no stomach acid and my skin is also better, feeling fantastic BIG BIG THANKYOU,, You are a saint 😇
I’ve been on a mostly ketogenic style diet with IF off and on for about a year. I have PCOS, Lymphedema, seborrheic dermatitis, and psoriasis. The psoriasis has been gone nearly 6 months. My skin and scalp are much less itchy and irritated. My lymph is starting to move a bit better. Trying to get better about a stricter keto diet but the changes I’ve made have already made a difference.
In response to the replies. I actually don’t do keto anymore and haven’t got a long time. I just go with a more calorie deficit approach. Still have much less skin issues.
For a few years ago I was diagnosed as having chronic granuloma annulare which I was told is quite rare. I have huge patches of thin red angry looking skin which is very unsightly and itches. However it is not on the surface and so is not sore and of course there is no known cause or cure. I have been following a ketogenic diet for 4 months now and as well as the weight loss (24lbs) the skin condition has calmed down considerably. I used to have dark red/purple patches on my wrists and knuckles and whilst the skin is still slightly discoloured it is disappearing, even the ones on my legs are healing. The dermatologist discharged me a couple of years ago because there was nothing he could do. I feel like going back to him and telling him about the keto way of eating and how much it has helped my condition but I am sure he will says “oh yeah it does spontaneously go away”. Keep up the good work Dr Ken.
For the last 25 years I have been plagued with skin tags and scaling skin. I’ve been on the Keto diet for 8 weeks. My weights loss has been gradual, my joints are much happier, my skin tags have started to die and fall off and my dermatologist says that they are hereditary! I can wait to see how this 70+ skin is going to look in June when I celebrate our 55 anniversary. 👍🏻🙌🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I was just diagnosed with psoriasis in February. Tried all the steroids and over the counter lotions and would only get better for a couple days. I just started keto a week and a half ago and my psoriasis has cleared up about 80%. I didn’t believe it at first but so thankful and will never take advantage of my skin again!
I had a large flat skin tag on the side of my nose that was growing and I actually had an appt with a skin doctor to remove it - -but 90 days into keto diet and it has completely dropped off and totally clear skin. I didn't believe it!
I was diagnosed with Hidradenitis Supperativa, after 11 years of misdiagnosis. That whole time I was told to take all sorts creams, steroids, and pills, yet nothing ever helped! My HS progressed to a severe stage 3 and I thought that was it for me. My depression and social anxiety was at an all time high. My pain was always at a 10. I was having an incredibly difficult time just taking care of my kids and the household. All the doctors ever told me was I didn't shower enough, or that it was because I was overweight and smoked. I had developed HS around the age of 13, when I was thin, and never smoked. I had slowly gained weight and started smoking due to the extreme stress of having HS. In an online support group for HS, a member said they had success with the Ketogenic diet and that they were in remission! I gave it a try and found that within 4 months time, all my severe stage 3 flares that had been weeping for 2 years, cleared up completely! The thick rope-like sinus tracks/tunneling that had restricted my arm movements, were hardly noticable and I regained nearly all my range of motion again! It's been almost 4 years and I have still been in remission. I will always share my story when I can. People with HS deserve to know that there is something that can help make their lives better!
I used to have rough, ragged heels that would sometimes crack and bleed, rough enough that they would tear holes in the bedsheets if I didn't sand them down a couple times a week. In the last 4-1/2 years that I've done Keto I've maybe sanded them twice, they are now soft and smooth.
I’m going to save this video, and all the wonderful comments for times when I’m longing for a high carb junk item. Just going back to low carb again. Thank you for all you do 💕
I had very bad rosacea, even in my eyes. Was on oxygen 24/7, diabetic, and overweight. Four years ago I started Keto and in a few months, I was not diabetic and did not need insulin and medications anymore, lost 70 lbs in 9 months, Got rid of the oxygen and many medications for breathing, no more high blood pressure, my skin, all over is much better. I feel so great with a clearer mind now and to think that four years ago, I was thinking that it was not a life to live in pain 24/7 and always be at a doctor`s office just to get more tests done and more medications. I do thanks to a friend and Dr. Berry who has changed my mind. And now I`m doing Ketovore which is Keto and Carnivore. Love my meat, cheese, and eggs. I`m 69 y.o. woman feeling great.
I’m glad a couple of the commenters below mentioned seborrheic keratoses improving/leaving with ketogenic/carnivore diet! I’d love for mine to go away! I’d also love for my post-menopausal (female pattern baldness/thinness) hair to thicken up again!
The seborrheic keratosis I had throughout my body is almost completely gone! Also the psoriasis on my elbow is almost completely healed. It was so painful like sharp shards of embedded glass...gone!
Add seborrheic keratosis to the list. Mine is markedly better. No new patches and the existing ones are mostly gone, not rough and scaly any longer. 9 months keto with IF
My Psoriasis isn't completely gone, I'm having a flare-up right now. But it's the mildest flare-up I've ever had and the only one I've had since starting keto. Keto isn't a cure-all miracle, but it's such an improvement over how I was doing before.
Are you doing grass fed beef, also you could have a sensitive to something like beef. My brother had flair ups when he consumes beef. Or it could be a particular oil you are using. Just thought I'd run some ideas by you.
Humm i would do carnivore for 30 days and see if that eliminates it completely.🙂 perhaps something you are still eating is causing the flare ups. God bless and be well 😊
I was diagnosed with CIU (chronic hives with no cause) 2.5 years ago. I had them all over my body, giant welts the size of half dollars. I was taking 6 Zyrtec and 2 Zantac a day just to be able to function. I decided to try some sort of elimination diet to see if that would help. I decided to try Keto. It took only three days not to have to take any pills at all.
Eliminating processed foods and grains IS ½ way to being keto... getting rid of fruit, starchy vegetables and seed oils will take you to full keto AND eating LOTS of saturated fats...
Thank you Dr Berry. All my Dr says is I have to find my triggers and I can’t find them. Seems it triggers one day and not the next. I’m going to try this way of eating and see if it works for me. I’ll be back to let you know. 😊
I was sitting in a wedding hall along with my grandmother. She whispered into my ear and I was actively listening to her but the noise was so high I couldn't hear what she said. I hope this brings a smile on your face.
I have been living a ketogenic lifestyle for 7 months. I had more than a dozen skin tags in various places and they are all gone except one that was pretty big and it seems to be shrinking. I watched your video on skin tags and started checking and realized they were almost all gone... totally amazed!!! I've lost 78 pounds as well. The benefits from this new way of eating still surprises me and can't believe how easy it is to sustain.

I’ve been on Keto since July and have lost 70 pounds. My skin tags have shrunk, my grey hair is getting dark again(???), I cured my plantar fasciitis and my mental clarity and alertness is amazing. I’m 54 and my body is reverting to my 30 year old body. It’s amazing. My wife has lost 100 pounds, nearly nullified her PCOS and her skin looks like she’s 30 again.
Wow, that's wonderful
About the hair... I see the same with my hair too. ?!?!?
Geezer Gamer. I was thinking my roots are getting darker too!? I thought What!? 🤔
ForgiveAndLove09 My wife had beautiful straight Asian hair and after 2 children her hair got oldy kinked and wavy. After becoming fat adapted on her Keto journey, her hair reset to her old healthy straight hair. You can see a line between the old and new. This way of eating never ceases to amaze me.
54 does not make you a geezer!
I have two teenage daughters. One decided she was going to address her severe acne by startng Keto. The other has done nothing to change her ways. My Keto daughter's acne has completely cleared. She had acne on her chest and back which disappeared first. We went to the dermologist for years and did every treatment with little results other than a destroyed micro biome. Once she got her biome repaired and stopped spiking her sugar the acne started clearing up. Our dermatologist told us that diet doesn't cause acne. My Carbo daughter still has severe acne. She went on a round of antibiotics which resulted in triggering eczema. Hopefully we can bring her to the other side.
Absolutely correct. I had chronic acne for 50 years. But my skin cleared up in 5 months and getting even better daily.
I’ve been Carnivore for 7 weeks. I was Keto for 24 weeks before that. I had several skin tags on the side of my neck. They have disappeared. Yay!
Trudy Miller I need to try keto or carnivore
I am raised in the south. 90% of our diet is carbs at some form or fashion. I have been doing keto against my doctor’s advisements for 2 years. After my 1 year check up he said continue with my diet and exercise. Numbers on my blood work went from crap to great! I didn’t take the medication I had been suggested and tried it another 6 months after they wanted me to get on drugs. BIG PHARMA is bull crap! I did it all with diet and I’m so proud of myself. My asthma, allergies to my dog, skin problems with acne (at 30 , skin tags and stomach problems have disappeared! My body works best on keto/low carb and I am so proud Dr. Kenn Berry explained why it is all working!! Thank you!!! My dad has pancreas cancer, 3 of 4 grandparents had dementia. I’m fighting it with all I have to do better and live longer!
I love this and agree with you: this way of eating works really well for me, too!
As a fellow Southerner, I know what you mean about our regional dishes. I found the Southern Keto cookbook, and holy cow--it's incredible! I recommend it to everyone I know. There's a second cookbook out now, too. Yay! : )
You are a hero!! Great job.
I have acne breakout since i stop birth control pills. I hope the diet can help
Being raised in the south got nothing to do with carb intake lol
Exactly what the dermatologist said to me. "You just have to live with it" "You will have psoriasis for life"... I changed my diet and its almost gone now
It would have been nice for one of the yt Dr's to tell us that not a psoriasis is the same. Hand and foot psoriasis is from a bacterial infection I discovered after doing all their things that said it would fix it over the last 10 yrs. Nothing helped until I treated mine with colidial silver, and gargled with peroxide salt baking soda and distilled water. Not one of these Dr's has distinguished that there is a difference in the types of psoriasis.
@@relaxingrain9484 how long were you on the diet for before you started to notice a difference? I’m a week in on the carnivore diet trying to get rid of scalp psoriasis.
I was diagnosed with rosacea. I was instantly suspicious when the dermatologist prescribed BOTH a steroid cream and an antibiotic. So I piped up during the appointment: "This pair of prescriptions tells me that you don't know what to do about this condition." He turned on his heel and walked out of the exam room.
I called a pharmacy and was told that each prescription cost between $55 and $60. I didn't fill either one.
An over-the-counter calendula preparation helped, but my rosacea didn't really go away until I'd eaten a low-carb diet for a month. Woo-hoo! All fixed, without drugs!
I too have rosacea and it improved greatly after losing over 100lbs and going low carb. Nothing prescribed to me helped in the least. It only flares somewhat when I'm stressed and even then it's not as drastic as it used to be. I never had much of the acne related to rosacea so I was lucky with that.
Tracy Andrirs try carnivore, which cleared my husband’s rosacea.
bacteria feed on carbs
Did you inform the doc?
@@wanketta my rosacea is fine now. Not interested in carnivore. I still like my veggies and it works for me.
I’m wanna hug your neck right now!!!! I literally had an appointment with a dermatologist a few weeks ago, and point blank asked him why my psoriasis clears up when I eat keto, and he assured me the two were not linked. And I thought he was crazy!!.. A little back story, i have SEVERE plaque psoriasis. And I’ve had it for about 20 years now. I’ve had years where it’s not too bad, I’ve had years where I’ve been 90%-95% covered!! As a teenager I was put in a drug study for Enbrel, cause it was so bad, and I had been thru about every steroid cream/foam/drop/ointment/shampoo that was on the shelves. And I thought way back then Enbrel was a miracle!! I was 17, and no one ever told me this was suppressing my immune system. And at 17, I was just so happy I finally looked normal, I didn’t ask a lot of questions. Fast towards a few years. I got pregnant a few times, so I got off the medicine, and stayed pretty clear for a while. Then after 3 kids, stress took over, and my weight went up, and my psoriasis raged back!! Unknowing all the benefits of keto, I started on the diet for the first time about 3 years ago. I did it for weight loss, but I soon learned it did so much more for my body!! It was about 6-8 months in to eating keto that I noticed my skin was calming down. Need mind you, it was so flared, it hurt to move most days I was that covered, on my torso and all. Once I started noticing my skin clear, I starting doing more research on keto, and learned a lot! About how it takes the inflammatory foods away and all that goes in tail with it. Well, I did good a few years, and then we had a little thing called Hurricane Michael wile our county off the map, and I lost track of everything for a while, including my eating, and my health. And that almost 3 years I had worked on getting weight off and reversing my diabetes, and calming my psoriasis.. With in a years time, I was right back where I had started. I finally got my mind right, and got myself back on track with keto in December. 15 months after the hurricane. And I’m already down 30 lbs, and my skin is Sooo about much calmer. I’m probably only 25%-30% covered now, and I’m not irritated. The spots I have don’t hurt!! My primary doc still recommended I go to a dermatologist since it wasn’t completely clearing; so I did. And that’s why I wanna hug your neck! He told me there was no link to diet and psoriasis. And I point blank asked him, “So, why when I follow a keto diet does my skin calm down?” He literally said “Well, I’m not sure.. It does look great. But, we’ll give you 2 cream for your body, 2 scalp treatments, and this pull to take to clear it the rest of the way up” 🙄🙄 No thank you! I’m just keeping on keto, and not letting myself get off track this time. I don’t know how my diabetes is, but I feel like it’s a lot better. I get my A1c checked again in April.. Anyways, sorry this was so long! Hope you can read this, and want you to know I really appreciate your videos, your options, and your knowledge. And that you share it all with us, and the world! ❤️
I also IF. Mostly one meal a day! 😁
I appreciated your long comment, especially when you mentioned how long it can take. Best wishes for continued healing.
That’s awesome! Hope it’s working out for you currently. Are you consuming dairy while doing keto?
Thank you for your testimony. 😊
I did Keto most of last year and my eczema went away. I stopped over the holidays and gained a lot of weight back...eczema back too. I’m back on Keto now.
And what do you eat with your Keto diet, are you still eating this way after 2 years? Would love to know!
How long did it take for excess to start getting better?
Did it work?
I started low-carb diet, 6 months ago, then added intermittent fasting, 5 months ago; I am 75, somewhat "old." I am seeing so many improvements of my various skin conditions, like thicker skin, smoother skin, no more tags, no crocodile skin, warmer hands and shockingly hair regrow on my bald top of my head. Not yet full hair density, the skin is still visible under my hair, still short hair, but at least lots of hair on my previously totally bald top. I am sure that my internal organs are going a similar healing process. I plan to lower my carbs so to be nearer to keto; now, I eat less than 100 grams carb a day. I follow a 20 hours of daily intermittent fasting. This prove that IF and low carbs are safe for older people.
wonderful that this is working so well for you!! keep up the fantastic results!! smiles from western australia :)
Marcel, I am so delighted to read your comment, as I am shortly turning 71 and my skin is very dry and flaky and I've noticed some hear loss at the top of my scalp. I otherwise have very thick hair, but seeing the balding spot has been very worrying. I've started 18 hr IF now and a low carb diet. So hopefully, I will see similar results as yourself!
Congratulations! I'm so grateful you posted your comment. I am 63 and struggling with itchy red eyes. I have started Keto and IF but am frustrated with lack of improvement. How long does it take?
Congrats! You could definitely keep going lower in carbs gradually until you reach keto. Glad it works for you 🥰
@@Marcel-dx5hl Yes, I did see two, but both said they were okay. I even tried Manuka honey in my eyes, which did give me some relief, but only temporarily. If only I knew for certain what to eat. : (
I have not noticed any skin changes other than my toenail fungus went away after 30 years. I am no longer embarrassed for someone to notice that. My toes are beautiful now.
I’m hoping my toenail fungus goes away , been having it for 15 years . Since I was 14
Thank you dr Berry. I’ve listen for 3 yr now. Became keto 2 yrs ago. Lost weight, reversed fatty liver, reversed type 2 diabetes. I’m walking and have one prob. A rash that is relentless. My dr wants me on Dupexent for atopic dermatitis. All she did is look at it. I think it’s time for me to do BBBE the right way and quit messing around. I’m slightly miserable with my skin and I’m almost to BBBE anyway so I’m gonna start with Joe and Rachel on October 15. I’m hoping it helps. I honestly think it’s something that I’m eating and I don’t eat that much. My window is eight hours and more ketovore so it’s time. I’m techno challenged, but my plan is to join y’all’s group too. Thanks for all you do
I agree so much with this! As a nurse practitioner, I’ve seen so many skin conditions clear up once the diet is cleaned up and carbs are reduced.
Hey!! What kind of nurse practioner are you? do you advise your patients to do keto? i am interested in going to Np school and was wondering:)
Iheoma Chieke I generally recommend a low carb lifestyle for health. Many people associate keto with dieting. I’m a family NP
@@thesunnyedge yay!! thank you so much for responding to my question. I have done research but can't seem to find a specialty in Endocrine Nurse Practioner. Please, do you know if there is a specialty in that?
Iheoma Chieke you’re welcome. ☺️ I believe Duke University has an endocrinology program for NPs however most NPs are either family or acute certified and then receive their specialty training (such as surgery, ER, dermatology, etc. on the job. Hope this helps!
@@thesunnyedge Oh!! okay, thank you so much again>3 I appreciate your response:)
I recently eliminated wheat, all forms, and my chronic scalp sores have healed up.
Same here!
When you are talking about scalp sores, are they tiny little pimples that hurt like f*ck when they pop?
Same here!
Bruce G does this help hair growth too?
I can confirm this. I have had adult cystic acne for years. I have tried everything to control it. Spent lots of money on pills, antibotics, topicals, laser treatments, peels, you name it I have done it. I tried the Keto diet last year, and within a month, my entire acne was cleared up. It took me 25 years to find something that would work, and keto managed to do it in a month. The diet works!!!
At 25 I developed psoriasis I'm now 74 been on Keto 2 years psoriasis left me completely about 1-1/2 years ago. Now I'm working on leaving asthma in the rear view mirror. Lova ya Doc!!!
Linda B that’s so amazing I’m 21 I have severe seborrheic dermatitis and I also have asthma does this help with the asthma?
Linda B I hear so many mixed reviews form this diet and I’m honestly scared
@@noahahmed8247 No fear. These are real results. This diet is a godsend.
No skin tags, no dandruff, no acne, no extremely dry skin any more!
Woooooow I wish
Cata Lineta does it for real work no gimmicks? It looks so hard and still not sure what keto fully is tbh
Cata Lineta plZ let me know
My skin is dry and itchy. Thank you for saying this. I am hoping I will feel better in this protocol.
Oh my gosh.....my doctor said those same exact words for my eczema. Pharma cream did nothing. Every cream on the market did not work. My fingers were so bad....split and bloodied. I have Hashimotos. Keto cleared this up my the second week and has never came back. I have passed forward my experience with my keto/carnivore lifestyle. I am so happy.
Donna Kuhn what’s better carnivore or keto
I've had skin tags for 30-40 years in my armpits and around them. I started noticing them in high school. I have been eating a pretty strict Keto/Carnivore diet for 5 months and the skin tags under both arms are gone. At first I didn't believe this was possible, but I am now convinced the change in my eating habits are the reason for the changes.
I love that Dr Berry exists, he is a national treasure. Yes, I am a patron, thank goodness for him.
Skin tags is what got me looking into why they were forming on my body.4 months on strict clean keto/IF and they’ve all fallen off, lost 53 pounds, off BP meds, and two antidepressants. I wish I could shout to the world how amazing this way of life is!!!
I have to say that after only 2 months on the ketogenic diet, my vasculitis, keratosis pilaris, chronic scalp sores have improved 90%, I no longer have arthritis pain, have lost 16 pounds, and have more energy and alertness. Love this way of living!
Good for you 👍👍
Debra Pratt can u explain what do u mean by chronic scalp sores? And what is it like 😒
What exactly were you eating ?any supplements?
How is your kp right now ?
I have been living Keto since April 2019, Carnivore since 1/1/20. Living Keto my skin tags vanished. Eczema and Psoriasis which I had suffered from since I was a child began to vanish. Since living Carnivore, my patch of Vitiligo on my right hand is slowly getting its pigment back! It Works! Also I have lost more than 65 lbs. and still dropping! I can trim my toe nails and breath at the same time! By the Grace of God, Keto\Carnivore has saved my life!
Jim Glasscock I need to try this!
I hope this helps me regrow hair and my dry scalp from extreme seborrheic dermatitis
I have had sévère psoriasis for many years and tried many diets ( jucing, no dairy, no gluten, no alcohol, etc)
I started keto ( 40 gr of carbs and less per day) 3 weeks ago and i pray that this time i will heal
How long before you saw skin improvement ? Thank you very much
😂👌🥩
A couple of months on keto, my psoriasis is almost completely gone.
LaurieOutLoud aw congrats! ❤️
LaurieOutLoud I have seborrheic dermatitis I might give this diet a try
I have been on keto for just a week and noticed my psoriasis shrinked .only after researching i realised its due to the diet. It needs to reach a wider audience! So many people are hopelessly suffering. Thank you so much for bringing in clarity to the topic! ❤️
Tsvetelina Yordanova that’s amazing I hope it heals my seborrheic dermatitis and helps with my hair
@@noahahmed8247 Hello, did it work? :)
Am almost 60 and on keto one year. Have not used metro gel on rosacea since, no seasonal cold sore this year, most actinic keratoses have come to the surface and sloughed off, my skin doesn’t burn in the sun, 2 lipomas shrank away, and smoother skin in general. Am hoping that the chronic winter cracking on a few fingertips might improve, but then again I expected NONE of the above, and I also benefitted in many other off-topic ways.
Thanks for your videos!
I have been doing low carb/intermittent fasting for just less than a year, have cured my type 2 no meds, halved my blood pressure meds, skin tags are getting smaller and rosacea is gone. 😀
wow
caroline ferguson I hope this works for my seborrheic dermatitis I’m scare I will lose hair from this.
@@noahahmed8247 how has this been working for you??
I am a Senior!! I had really thin and flaking skin that itched constantly!! My skin was so thin that even brushing it slightly on couch material that it would cause friction, and bleeding would occur!! Since switching to a KETO DIET in 12/19, I no longer have a problem with Dry Skin, Abrasion or Itching!!!
Marion Lindner I hope this heals my hair and scalp dermatitis s
I want relief from this itching.
You forgot keratosis pilaris! I have been eating keto for just over a year and my KP is SO much better! My kids have even noticed that the skin on my arms is so smooth! Thanks, Dr. Berry! Keto has improved my life in so many ways!
DUDE!! I didn't even put those 2 things together! I've had keratosis pilaris since I was like 12. I was full keto Aug-Feb (family tragedies and tons of drama pushed mama back to eating carbs temporarily) and I didn't even put together that my keratosis had greatly reduced during keto! I actually had smooth arms for once! Whoa. You might be on to something!
As a celiac, after cutting all gluten grains it drastically reduced. Grain free made them go away, and this was before keto.
Me too! I have had KP for almost 50 years, and had to live with it, and hope no one ever touched my arms. I have been doing keto for 6 months, and when I read this, I ran my hand under my sleeve and no more bumps! I am amazed! And very thankful!
@@alrivers2297 I don't know either, and wasn't expecting it. But the difference is remarkable nonetheless.
@@alrivers2297 I thought is was lack of vitamin A that caused it. Either way, I am glad they are gone.
I've had eczema since I was a baby. Keto has helped tremendously. As long as I avoid dairy as much as possible.
Perfect! Now please share your story with the world because so many are suffering
67 years old, I went KETO and intermittent fasting, when after a year of fighting T2 Diabetes and seeing little improvement in my numbers. Long story short, my numbers drastically improved from the first day, am no longer take meds for my diabetes, losing weight, have more energy and focus. A side benefit of all this, is I had dozens of skin tags on my arm pits, and now they are nearly all gone and the ones that are left are smaller and continue to shrink/dry up, age spots on my hands are fading, and moles are are going away as well. My Dr. is amazed at my health progress, pretty sure I will be losing some meds for BP next appointment. :)
Allen Bishop that’s amazing I have extreme seborrheic dermatitis and some hairloss from it I hope this helps
I transitioned to 100% keto and 4:20 intermittent fasting in November 2017. During the years before that, I was diagnosed with basal and squamous cell carcinoma several times. The frequency had led my dermatologist to insist on seeing me every 6 months. Since starting keto and IF I've had neither basal nor squamous, and in 2018 the doc changed me back to yearly checkups. Knowing about the cancer limiting benefits of keto, I recently wondered whether my body had simply run its course of skin cancers or whether keto and IF were the cause. This video makes me lean heavily towards the latter. Something marvelous happened at a prior cancer site. I had squamous cell just above my right ankle. It was not excised - I'm not sure of the correct term, but a laser was used to destroy it. It was about the size of a nickel and took months to heal, and when eventually the final scab fell off, it irritated me constantly and looked horrible, like I had been tattooed with a brown, rough edged circle. Two months after I started keto and IF, a day after my first extended fast of 40 hours, the skin erupted and bled, and reverted to the raw state that it had been shortly after the procedure. Not fully understanding the benefits of keto and IF, I assumed that the cancer had come back and made an appointment to see the doc. The amazing thing was that within a couple of days it had scabbed over, and in about two weeks had healed completely, no longer looking unsightly. And best of all, no more irritation. Was this a case of autophagy at its best? Convincing enough for me to wholeheartedly champion keto and IF with regular extended fasts.
Awesome, Jack!
Congratulations! Thank you for sharing your story. I am new to Keto and IF, and would be more patient if I knew improvement were certain. I wonder how long I must wait, and whether it's related to age, i.e., how long you polluted the body. I'm 63.
@@TerriblePerfection I'm 65, so age probably has nothing to do with it. There's great information out there, but listen to your body and use trial and error to find out what works for you.
My cousin told me she was allergic to corn oil and breaks out with acne. Without sugar my skin looks fantastic. No more cracked, flakey heels, no more fine lines on my forehead and skin tags are getting smaller. ♥️♥️♥️
I have had dry feet and you're right. My heels look great! Another Keto diet benefit. Thanks. 🙂
Yup same here with the skin tags and heels.
I have been keto with IF for almost 10 years. I had multiple seborrheic keratoses on my back and under my arms all along the bra line. They all completely resolved with no further production.
Jennifer Mitchell I have seborrheic dermatitis and dry brittle hair do you think this would help?
Noah Ahmed it helped my skin condition and my hair is very healthy.

No joke couldn't believe it, but here we are. Thank you, Dr. Berry!
Totally reduced skin tags. Got rid of wrinkly neck skin and radically reduced toenail fungus. Thanks!
Yes my toes look beautiful now !!!
I’m not on the keto diet, I still eat fruit and oatmeal, but I have cut out processed foods and my ezcema and skin tags are gone.
Scott Forrer I hope this works for seborrheic dermatitis
@@noahahmed8247 are you have man? I have too on my eyebrows,
My eyebrows falling out every day
Eczema is more of a food allergy rather than candida.
Went on the keto diet to reverse a fatty liver. Within 8 months my tests came back normal. Then I heard Dr Berry talk about skin tags going away. Without even realizing it, in fact, ALL my skin tags are 100% gone. That was an unexpected benefit. Thanks Dr Berry!
Did it take the whole 8 months for tests to show normal? Been keto for 7 weeks and tests came back 2 days ago. Blood glucose coming down but a ways to go to call it normal.
I've had psoriasis for 30 plus yrs.
Been keto for 3 month and it has most definitely improved 80% .
I've been on keto for half a year. I used to have severe bowel problems, severe acne and scars, and allergic reactions...not to talk about mood ups and crashing downs. None of that anymore.
Yasmina Machrouhi hope I have the same results :/
I want to ask u about acne because that mg issue right now
I started keto Nov. 2019, after 2 weeks my painful non bleeding hemorrhoid totally disappeared! Awesome....my health is continually getting better.
Olivia Everett hope this heals my seborrheic dermatitis
Not only has my Rosacea greatly improved, but so have the bumps on the backs of my upper arms and upper legs, which I have had since a child! (I'm now 58) I have always had very dry skin and very rough, cracked heels. ALL ARE GONE!! My husband even commented on how soft my skin feels now. My heels look better than they ever have, so smooth, it amazes me! Can't wait to start wearing my sandals! And I no long have to slather myself with a ton of lotion every morning! Thank you Dr Barry!
Organic is a little expensive, please let me know. I have had rosacea for 2 years now
OMG Thank you Dr Berry. I've been pretty much Keto eating for 2 years now. You mentioned skin tags in this video. I checked my skin tags, which cuz I'm almost 78 thought they were mine till death. They've all disappeared. I don't know when it happened but they are gone. Now if my wrinkles would disappear. Never going back to carbs.
Ellen Henson would I have to stay on keto?
It is so powerful...I'm 68 and my skin is really clean and healthy.
debi fambro this is promising
My daughter has lots of skin issues...psoriasis acne and skin darkening.. she's doing IF throu Keto is not that possible for her.. however there is excellent improvement in her skin condition...acne gone face skin with dark patches gone and psoriasis slowly improving for the better...kudos to all the Doctors who are taking their time and effort to make us what we thought as impossible... Salutes to all Doctors and health care providers for letting the world know what is good food and good life. 🙏
Pre Al will this heal seborrheic dermatitis? And what exactly is keto
I had acne conglobata (very severe acne) and 3 dermatologists told me I had to go on prednisone (immunosuppressant) and accutane. The dermatologists had no idea how these worked and thought diet has nothing to do with the skin. I decided to go on a ketogenic diet because it seemed more likely to work and has a lot less side affects. It started clearing up within a few weeks and only comes back when I eat something inflammatory. I found that the only things I can eat are grass fed beef, macadamia nuts, and butter. I tried spinach, almonds, and a few other foods but they cause my skin to get irritated. I think the root of the problem might be leaky gut so I am taking gelatin.
What about eggs
I am 67 years old and have been bald for 40 years and had painful eczema around my eyes for 10 years and skin tags and hay fever for 30 years. My hair is growing back and all my other issues have gone after being on a Keto way of life for the past 18 months. Would encourage anyone to give it a try.
Eve D. I’m losing a lot of my hair I hope this helps
When I got into my 40s I started having acne problems on my face. I had redness, breakouts. I got the expensive creams that did not work. I've been on KETO since Jan 2019. I have no more break outs, No redness, No pimples that looks gross. My face is clear and smooth, soft. Now I just use a basic skin care wash my face night and day. I don't have to worry about putting on no acne cream.
How long did u see the improvement?
You are spot on! My dad and I both had seborrheic dermatitis on the sides of the nose as you mentioned. Steroids were prescribed but didn't work well. I also had IBS, frequently cystic acne, and problems staying asleep. Cutting wheat and gluten cleared up the dermatitis. Keto (and eliminating chemical-loaded processed food) fixed all the others.
how are you now?
Hate meat, but my palm Eczema decreased by 70%...
This is insane to me as a former plant based practitioner I love me some beans tomatoes etc.
I have battled with this issue for around 9 years.
9 years of avoiding handshakes and holding the market cart with only the tips of my fingers...
Now I've decided to try carnivore diet as an elimination diet
Only a week in and my palm eczema decreased visibly by 70%.
I do not know if its going to flair again in a week, but for now it looks like its healing
hi, how are you now? do you heal your eczema or get better?
I had Rosacea acne (with postures & pustules) for several years before starting the Keto diet in May 2019. I tried many expensive creams that didn’t help - the thing that helped the most was an antibiotic pill which I didn’t want to take continually. My skin has been clear since May!! So thankful.
I tried carnivore for a month and it cleared my acne and my hair seemed stronger.
Nick X I should try this or keto...
Thank you, Dr. Berry. My keto journey: Eating carbs (pasta, bread, rice, sugar, processed food, etc.) makes my skin issues flare up. When my body started to reject these items (at the age of 49! Was fine before!), my hands broke out into a rash. I went to an allergist and he did a "chemical" allergy test on my back (he didn't tell me there were three different tests to choose from...) and gave me the name of ONE chemical that I was allergic to. He didn't bother to do a food allergy test. When I first saw him, I was very impressed with him. On my visit to have him give me the test results where he told me I had exzcema, I asked him why now? He said it was "my time in the bucket." ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? I lost all respect for him at that time. He also proceeded to try to prescribe a nasal spray and a daily allergy pill - for my very minimal seasonal allergies that was not brought up at any of my visits!! In the duration of my visits with him, he prescribed some cream for my hands. Said it would sting a little bit, but that was normal. Well, it did sting, and it enflamed the rash. I ended up having a staph infection. Had to do my own research to heal myself. I have many friends that express their concerns over things like this and I tell them my story. They still think that they need creams and pills to put on and in their body to heal it. Please consider eating a keto diet for any health issues you may have. It's a start, and it's better than pumping drugs into your body.
I was 50-60% covered in psoriasis/eczema and its 100% gone after 6-12 months of a keto/carnivore diet with occasional honey and avocado 🙏
Trying this now, are you using animal based skin care as well or just rag and water

I started keto June 2019 and have not have a cold sore since. I used to get them every 3 to 6 months. I'm thinking keto helped. My skin tags have shrunk as well.
Skin tags and psoriasis all over my legs and arms....UNTIL Keto. All smooth and clear now. 4 different Dermatologist told me it was sun damage.
Dee K how long until you noticed a difference?
Dee K I have psoriasis too :( do you eliminate dairy all together ? How long before the psoriasis cleared up ? Congrats.
Dermatologist should not be allowed to collect fees from patients or medical system. Billion$ in waste with this group. Dare call it fraud? How many times do you read in these comments of people whose dermatologist has said none of this is diet related?
Dee K I need to try this diet but not sure what exactly to eat on this diet
Were you able to eat any dairy while being keto?
Wow! I am 25 years old and have just been diagnosed with rosacea. I was told it is incurable and will most likely continue to get worse with age. This video has given me so much hope as I have been so upset and discouraged. Thank you so much!
Did it work?
Did it heal?
@@gabriel5738Hi! I was really strict with my diet, tried several different diets and nothing seemed to work. I worked with naturopathic drs, did all kinds of detoxes and herbal remedies and still no luck I noticed a slight difference but I was still struggling. Until I started meditating and learning to change who I am as a person mentally and emotionally. That has made all the difference. I eat all the food I want now (of course not just junk, I eat a balanced diet 80/20 rule) and my skin is great 😊 if I begin to slip into negative thoughts and behaviors and let my emotions get the best of me I will instantly start to feel the warmth in my cheeks and slowly begin to get red. As soon as I draw my energy back to myself my redness and heat goes away. Im sure this isn’t the response you were expecting but I think health conditions are just not what we think they are 😊 best of luck to you.

Definitely has cleared up my Rosacea. I haven't had a flare up since I started a eating low carb 4 months ago. Thank you so much!
Rose Cotton even on a carnivore diet, my rosacea will flare up! I wish I could figure this out. If you have any thoughts/suggestions please let me know 🌼
Julia S I’m scared I won’t be successful either 😩
Julia S The same. It is so frustrating
🤝🤝🤝🤝
@@Julia-xf5ps my rosacea I don't think it's helped but have the weight loss wanted and feel great.
@@Julia-xf5ps Do you consume dairy & eggs? Try cutting those out & see what happens. Some people have issues with those two. I do.
I had a weird little blemish wart-thingy on my ankle for years, and at one point doc tried to remove with CO2, but it came back. It was gone after 3 months on Keto. Occasional break outs on face also stopped.
I also have a stupid wart on my foot and the doc caint freeze it off ... Thnx for the advice Huggs Huggs
Started this diet the last week of 2019 and of a truth, simply amazing, Gerd gone, High Blood Pressure gone, Skin clearing up don't know what I had just scalp itching drove me crazy, but mostly during winter, 29 lbs. lost in the first month and do feel so much better with way more energy. I thank God in Jesus Christ name I ran across his videos and had the courage and the will power to make a change for myself.
I’ve been low-carb for six years and went carnivore in early 2019. This completely reversed my gout. I was on allopurinol every day. Hair loss is a common side effect of this drug. I have been completely off allopurinol for over a year. My skin, hair, and overall health have improved tremendously. I look and feel better than I ever have in my 58 years of life. Thank you, Dr. Berry!
Did you have blood work done before going carnivore? Thinking of trying going carnivore but unsure if I should get labs done.
I have pretty regular blood work done. I know my cholesterol went down 20 points after I went carnivore. I haven’t had my uric acid tested in a while, but gout symptoms are gone. No tart cherry or ACV anymore.
Crystal Richburg I’m scared about carnivore :/
Noah Ahmed I’ve heard it recommended that someone try it for a month and just see how it works for you. Everyone is different. It has been a healing change of life for me. I was on seven daily medications in 2017. I’m down to one daily. Working my way to zero! Plus, it’s so freeing. No need for sides. I eat meat, eggs, and cheese. Purist would say no cheese. I’m not emotionally ready to give up my cheese. Lol! I occasionally add tomato sauce to certain dishes. I use it very sparingly and not very often.
Crystal Richburg yea I love my cheese 😂😩
Fixing Chronic Inflammation seems to be the common thread to fixing what ails you ... I Get it! Thanks Doc for helping me explain it to others!
Skin tags and rosacea are gone! Within a few months of starting keto
@@trp2413 they are a sign of hyperinsulinimia. I was prediabetic when I started this journey.
How many months in particular did it take for rosacea to disappear? I'm trying the diet to try and fix issues myself.
@@boffman4134 , I'm not gonna lie. I'm not really sure, I just happen to notice one morning getting ready for work that I needed to put on blush. I didn't own any and had to borrow from my daughter. I was, probably, 6 months in....
Laura Melton I’m scared keto might not work for me 😩
@@noahahmed8247have you tried it? I’m 3 weeks in now
If dandruff counts as a skin condition, then add it to the list. I used Head and Shoulders from age 18-49 until I realized my flaky scalp wasn't flaky any more.
I had dry skin on my elbows for at least 30 years. A short time after starting keto the dryness went away. I have lost quite a few pounds with keto and when I tell people how much better I feel, they say its because I lost weight. I respond with you want to explain how my elbows became less dry and my gums and teeth got better from weight loss alone.
Couldn't help it, I had to check my elbows. Been dry most of adult life (age 73). Been keto for 7 weeks-- elbows now like baby's butt!
Nick VanderWal does this help hair? Or will I experience hairfall
@@noahahmed8247 Has not helped hairfall for me as of yet.
I have Alopecia Areata - I cut out a whole lot of sugar and teensy fair hairs started appearing on my Charlie Brown scalp. My eyebrow hairs are reappearing. I'm now keto to get rid of that underlying inflammation and have hope for the first time of having my previously thick hair back. Yep a dermatologist told me I just have to live with it and accept it. Well I beg to differ. I'm keto and hopefully I will be nice and hairy too!
For almost 20 years I've been getting hive like rashes all over my face. I went to dermatologist after dermatologist who would then refer me to allergy specialists & back and forth. Neither one can figure out what it was. I finally had a biopsy done & they determined it was some type of dermatitis & I would just have to deal with it because there was no known reason as to what was causing it and there was no way to prevent it. I started doing Keto almost a year ago for weight loss & not only did I loose weight I noticed 2 months into it I had no signs of the rash. To this date I have not had a breakout. 🙌
D DAZ I have seborrheic dermatitis mainly on scalp some on face and inside and around my ear etc I hope this works and mainly heals keto looks hard but I’m willing to do whatever because I’m losing hair and my hair is so dry and brittle from this
@@noahahmed8247 Noah Ahmed Yes, give it a try. Honestly, it is the easiest diet I have ever been on, & I've tried them all. I hope it works out just as well for you as it has for me.
D DAZ I sure hope so thanks for the kind words ❤️
heyy sorry to bother you again but when you started the keto did you cut out like sugar carbs and dairy? and like was it little calories? im still like not fully understanding the keto diet if im honest and can i drink almond milk if dairy is cut?
@@noahahmed8247 no bother at all. I would recommend you check out TH-cam videos that show you how to calculate your macros & also how to use a tracking app such as carb manager or my fitness pal which will allow you to input your macros.
Yes. I had episodes of rosacea as well as age spots (aka: solar lentigines.) Both went away once I changed my high carb diet (the rosacea within a week's time.) Also dark under eye circles disappeared. I can often spot a child fed a heavy carb diet by the dark circles under their eyes. See if you find the same.
Michele Harvey Wow, your dark circles disappeared? How long did that take?
I've been keto then carnivore for 3.5 yrs now. The effect on skin is unmistakable and positive. Now when I see someone with a skin condition I always notice that they have a high carb high sugar diet.
Beating Obesity will this cure my seborrheic dermatitis
My face was blood red I went to the Dermatologist, he said I have Rosacea and the medicine is very expensive. He was quite cold and judgemental, so I left without asking how much it cost?
So I went around with a blood red face for a while, until I found another dermatologist that recommended Elta MD .
In short the carnivore diet is the answer.
Thankful for you 💛
Do cool to hear what you’re saying. I’ve been trying to tell people this for years. I didn’t know what Ketogenic was but knew diet heals most skin conditions. Heal the gut and the immune system and we heal our bodies. Anti inflammatory, and a good gut biology is a healthy person. Keto-ish just happens to coincide with this . Thanks Dr. Berry
I have been on Keto for almost 5 months now. The first month or two all of a sudden I noticed the skin tags around my neck were gone! I have lost 25 pounds(slow, compared to some, but great anyway.) and gotten my A1c down to 6.0 from 6.5, so I am pre-diabetic now....I will keep going and hope to see the skin on my legs improve(veinous insufficiency and neuropathy have caused problems).
I lost weight 10 kg without any issues, feel awesome, fast 16 hours a day with no hunger, no more sickness or flu.. food tastes great. Keto all the way forever!
1) I’ve personally seen my psoriasis improve a bit while on keto.
2) HUGE fan!
3) Go Vols! 🍊🍊🍊
I have had acne all my life. I'm 39. My acne went away after I went on a ketogenic diet. If I eat any carbage....it comes back. This lifestyle works!!
Did you mean cabbage or garbage, or something else. Thanks.
@@copout1405 I sometimes say "carbage" to mean garbage
I thought, ghee, what' wrong with cabbage? Kentucky fried is favorite right now. Thanks
Well you look great I need to try this diet
How long did it take to see results?
I have been doing Keto since January, I’ve lost 35lbs and amazingly my very cracked heels have healed and I have several large hard lipomas that have shrunk.
Never going back to my former way of eating.
I had rosacea and acne. Was told I would always have it. My husband had skin tags and eczema. All of these are gone after 2 months of both of us on keto!
melissa gardner I need to try keto I have seborrheic dermatitis is it hard
Massive thanks to you Doc,, I started keto 5 months ago, I started it for joint pain, now I've no joint pain, no belly, no IBS, no stomach acid and my skin is also better, feeling fantastic BIG BIG THANKYOU,, You are a saint 😇
I’ve been on a mostly ketogenic style diet with IF off and on for about a year. I have PCOS, Lymphedema, seborrheic dermatitis, and psoriasis. The psoriasis has been gone nearly 6 months. My skin and scalp are much less itchy and irritated. My lymph is starting to move a bit better. Trying to get better about a stricter keto diet but the changes I’ve made have already made a difference.
What about the SD?
I'd also like to know what has happened with your seborrheic dermatitis? Please update.
@@kylewonglee7724 Did you try Keto for SD? I'd like to know if it worked for you?
In response to the replies. I actually don’t do keto anymore and haven’t got a long time. I just go with a more calorie deficit approach. Still have much less skin issues.
For a few years ago I was diagnosed as having chronic granuloma annulare which I was told is quite rare. I have huge patches of thin red angry looking skin which is very unsightly and itches. However it is not on the surface and so is not sore and of course there is no known cause or cure. I have been following a ketogenic diet for 4 months now and as well as the weight loss (24lbs) the skin condition has calmed down considerably. I used to have dark red/purple patches on my wrists and knuckles and whilst the skin is still slightly discoloured it is disappearing, even the ones on my legs are healing. The dermatologist discharged me a couple of years ago because there was nothing he could do. I feel like going back to him and telling him about the keto way of eating and how much it has helped my condition but I am sure he will says “oh yeah it does spontaneously go away”. Keep up the good work Dr Ken.
Thank you Dr Kent- 🙏 Keto help get rid of my nasty acne. I only been doing it since November 2018. Am so happy and praise the Lord for this wisdom.
For the last 25 years I have been plagued with skin tags and scaling skin. I’ve been on the Keto diet for 8 weeks. My weights loss has been gradual, my joints are much happier, my skin tags have started to die and fall off and my dermatologist says that they are hereditary! I can wait to see how this 70+ skin is going to look in June when I celebrate our 55 anniversary. 👍🏻🙌🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Dermatologist's are getting a free ride! Wasted money.
DCB14u2do that is so amazing I’m 21 and have scaly skin and seborrheic dermatitis and itch I hope this works
Please, let this 70+ know how it turns out in June!
I was just diagnosed with psoriasis in February. Tried all the steroids and over the counter lotions and would only get better for a couple days. I just started keto a week and a half ago and my psoriasis has cleared up about 80%. I didn’t believe it at first but so thankful and will never take advantage of my skin again!
I had a large flat skin tag on the side of my nose that was growing and I actually had an appt with a skin doctor to remove it - -but 90 days into keto diet and it has completely dropped off and totally clear skin. I didn't believe it!
My eczema decreased significantly. Six months on Keto and it was about 70% gone and getting better every day.
Thank you for posting how long it took. I am so itchy, and impatient for results.
Thats too long. You aren't doing things correctly.
I was diagnosed with Hidradenitis Supperativa, after 11 years of misdiagnosis. That whole time I was told to take all sorts creams, steroids, and pills, yet nothing ever helped!
My HS progressed to a severe stage 3 and I thought that was it for me. My depression and social anxiety was at an all time high. My pain was always at a 10. I was having an incredibly difficult time just taking care of my kids and the household.
All the doctors ever told me was I didn't shower enough, or that it was because I was overweight and smoked. I had developed HS around the age of 13, when I was thin, and never smoked. I had slowly gained weight and started smoking due to the extreme stress of having HS.
In an online support group for HS, a member said they had success with the Ketogenic diet and that they were in remission! I gave it a try and found that within 4 months time, all my severe stage 3 flares that had been weeping for 2 years, cleared up completely! The thick rope-like sinus tracks/tunneling that had restricted my arm movements, were hardly noticable and I regained nearly all my range of motion again! It's been almost 4 years and I have still been in remission. I will always share my story when I can. People with HS deserve to know that there is something that can help make their lives better!
My skin used to get oily as the day went on and now it’s “just normal”. Big change after all these years.
AmyBEgirl good you look great! I need to try this for my dermatitis
I used to have rough, ragged heels that would sometimes crack and bleed, rough enough that they would tear holes in the bedsheets if I didn't sand them down a couple times a week. In the last 4-1/2 years that I've done Keto I've maybe sanded them twice, they are now soft and smooth.
I’m going to save this video, and all the wonderful comments for times when I’m longing for a high carb junk item. Just going back to low carb again. Thank you for all you do 💕
I had very bad rosacea, even in my eyes. Was on oxygen 24/7, diabetic, and overweight. Four years ago I started Keto and in a few months, I was not diabetic and did not need insulin and medications anymore, lost 70 lbs in 9 months, Got rid of the oxygen and many medications for breathing, no more high blood pressure, my skin, all over is much better. I feel so great with a clearer mind now and to think that four years ago, I was thinking that it was not a life to live in pain 24/7 and always be at a doctor`s office just to get more tests done and more medications. I do thanks to a friend and Dr. Berry who has changed my mind. And now I`m doing Ketovore which is Keto and Carnivore. Love my meat, cheese, and eggs. I`m 69 y.o. woman feeling great.
I am really happy for you,i have ocular rosacea too and it sucks, what about your eyes? Do you still have dryness?
Organic is a little expensive, please let me know. I have had rosacea for 2 years now
I’m glad a couple of the commenters below mentioned seborrheic keratoses improving/leaving with ketogenic/carnivore diet! I’d love for mine to go away! I’d also love for my post-menopausal (female pattern baldness/thinness) hair to thicken up again!
Yes, this condition responds quickly with keto!
The seborrheic keratosis I had throughout my body is almost completely gone! Also the psoriasis on my elbow is almost completely healed. It was so painful like sharp shards of embedded glass...gone!
I have been eating low carb for just a weak and the improvements in my skin/rash is amazing...
My lypoma shrank when I did keto. I need to get back on it!
Add seborrheic keratosis to the list. Mine is markedly better. No new patches and the existing ones are mostly gone, not rough and scaly any longer. 9 months keto with IF
My Psoriasis isn't completely gone, I'm having a flare-up right now. But it's the mildest flare-up I've ever had and the only one I've had since starting keto. Keto isn't a cure-all miracle, but it's such an improvement over how I was doing before.
Are you doing grass fed beef, also you could have a sensitive to something like beef. My brother had flair ups when he consumes beef. Or it could be a particular oil you are using. Just thought I'd run some ideas by you.
Some keto foods aren’t great for your health, they have oxalates and anti nutrients go CV
There are two types of keto diet, the clean and the dirty one. Which one are you practicing?
Humm i would do carnivore for 30 days and see if that eliminates it completely.🙂 perhaps something you are still eating is causing the flare ups. God bless and be well 😊
I was diagnosed with CIU (chronic hives with no cause) 2.5 years ago. I had them all over my body, giant welts the size of half dollars. I was taking 6 Zyrtec and 2 Zantac a day just to be able to function. I decided to try some sort of elimination diet to see if that would help. I decided to try Keto. It took only three days not to have to take any pills at all.
I eliminated processed foods and grains and i had all those positive effects. Its not just keto.
Eliminating processed foods and grains IS ½ way to being keto... getting rid of fruit, starchy vegetables and seed oils will take you to full keto AND eating LOTS of saturated fats...
Magdalena French wait wtf your not supposed to eat fruit on keto? Lol
Thanks!
Thank you Dr Berry. All my Dr says is I have to find my triggers and I can’t find them. Seems it triggers one day and not the next. I’m going to try this way of eating and see if it works for me. I’ll be back to let you know. 😊
I was sitting in a wedding hall along with my grandmother. She whispered into my ear and I was actively listening to her but the noise was so high I couldn't hear what she said.
I hope this brings a smile on your face.
Love this....Im living proof that Keto works. So glad I found you.
God Bless 💞💞💞💯
I have been living a ketogenic lifestyle for 7 months. I had more than a dozen skin tags in various places and they are all gone except one that was pretty big and it seems to be shrinking. I watched your video on skin tags and started checking and realized they were almost all gone... totally amazed!!! I've lost 78 pounds as well. The benefits from this new way of eating still surprises me and can't believe how easy it is to sustain.
