On your advice I went full carnivore I WAS 285 IM NOW 160 TYPE 2 GONE .....SKIN CLEARED UP ..... BRAIN FOG GONE .....SKIN TAGS ALMOST GONE ..... NEVER HAD THIS MUCH ENERGY.... LOVE LIFE IS WORTH LIVING AGAIN ...... AND ...MY FRIEND ..ILL BE SEVENTY SOON. ...FEEL FREE TO SHARE THIS ....ITS AWESOME
Thank you for sharing, am fairly new to this way of eating & at 76 was wondering if it would help me; am into my 3rd week and already went from 170lbs to 161...and am feeling MUCH better. HELPS. AND CONGRATS TO YOU!!!
It's incredible to me when I describe to people how they can improve their issues by going keto or carnivore they just give me the stare like I'm crazy, yet I stand right in front of them as an example of someone who feels better, more energy, less pain at 55 than ever in my life, and lost over 100 pounds.
I'm 71, with 7 heart attacks, CABGS at 49, 8 stents, (calcium plaque, stents ground and lasered out of RCA and LAD in 2020) moved from pre to diabetes 4 months ago. When I ate a hamburger/bun and my blood sugar went to 300, I quit eating carbs, found out about keto. I've lost 45 lbs (6' 1", 210lb) blood sugar between 128 and 100, HDL way up 45, Trig 153. After listening to all the talk about oxalates and lectins, I'm wondering if I need to go carnivore. Although I feel much better, 71's pretty painful. Hope I haven't been too slow to the party. Thank you so much!!!!
My guy yes, do it! I just had some of best blood work I've ever had done and I was keto for 2 years. I'm not in bad health as keto was great but my hdl was stuck at 50 and my trigs were good at 58-76 but I'm sitting at 28 trigs and 64 hdl (best I've been) just got blood work done this month. Go for it try 90 days my brother you're going to feel great, lots of grass fed if you can substitute regular as they usually eat grains and carbs which is no good , pasture raised eggs, ground lamb, bison, etc. I love it with peppers and onions but you dont need veg, i do avacados and peppers/onion combo here and there only for veggies. wild caught salmon some organ meats. Much love man.
I started low carb, carnivore, OMAD at 71. Jan 2021. As long as you have breath it is never too late. You do one day at a time. God bless you and give you resolve to keep going!
Well done, you are to be congratulated. If you go Carnivore, do it over a few months, be careful. Look for Bart Kay on TH-cam. Find out how to transition to carnivore.
I have 1 and a half kidneys my function was bad for a long time. I went on ketovore/ carnivore for at time only 3 months and my labs came back with 2 fully functioning kidneys ( and all labs over all were better) My GP was flabbergasted and said my kidneys are functioning perfect! He called it a miracle and told me to keep up what I was doing and even asked questions. I pointed him to Dr.Berry!
This conversation backs up what I finally figured out after a long fight and becoming diabetic; and then I've got it turned around. A few years back I got notice of my lab results and fasting glucose was186 and was asked if I wanted metformin or figure it out. My choice was to figure it out and today I got a fasting glucose of 100. I eat 2 meals a day 6 hours apart and it is low carb keto. I also do 40 + hour fasts to keep me going in the right direction.
Many many folks still think that if you eat some fat, it will go directly into the bloodstream and start building up on the artery walls, and I don't think doctors in general including cardiologists, are doing enough to correct this belief.
Love this conversation!! My more recent DNA has me living in UK and Scandinavian countries 300 years ago. I'm living in the wrong latitude, eating the wrong things, and my natural ability to adapt (evolution) hasn't caught up. Keto and intermittent fasting made such a difference!!! Nearly 20lbs gone!
evolution doesn't manifest in individuals but in populations, over long time. You survived long enough to reproduce, so however many genes drifted in you from your parents were insignificant. The genetic adaptation to drinking milk as adults was about as swift a bit of genetic drift as humans have seen, and not all human populations on earth have it.
Great video! It’s always good to have someone on. Really great info! Hello from Éire (Ireland 🇮🇪 ) down here in the rebel county (Cork) where we love keto!!! 🎉❤❤
If you go back as recent as the 1960's and 70's, we were eating tons of sugar and obesity was rare back then. If you saw someone who was 300 lbs back then, they were looked at as a circus act. We drank pop with cane sugar, ate candy bars with cane sugar, fries, burgers with buns, pies, cake etc. We ate a slice of white bread with every meal. It was around 1980 when the food companies figured out it was cheaper to use high fructose corn syrup instead of cane sugar. Then in the 1990's they developed gmo corn and spray it with glyphosate aka roundup poison. The corn plant is genetically modified where the poison won't kill it, which allows the farmers to spray their fields and kill the weeds without killing the plants. Glyphosate has been proven to cause insulin resistance, and I sometimes wonder if it's the glyphosate in the corn syrup causing most of the uric acid elevation? I recently found out that they are now spraying glyphosate on wheat to dry it for harvest in the northern states and Canada. In Oklahoma where I'm at, it's hot enough for the wheat to die naturally for harvest, but up north it's too cool and they desiccate it with glyphosate 2 weeks before they get ready to harvest it. I contacted Shawnee mills, a big flour company in OK, and they said there was no guarantee their flour is glyphosate free, because they source some of their wheat from northern states. I started noticing when I eat US flour, I have an eczema outbreak, but when I use imported Italian flour where they banned desiccation with glyphosate, I don't have an eczema outbreak.
I remember back in the '60s we would go to the smorgasbord and load up and I got to noticing these really fat people in there eat there all the time so I stopped eating so much because I didn't want to follow their footsteps too
I watched Dr. Johnson's 3-part series that outlines a ton of what is in his book and this so far is one of the best explanations of the pathophysiology of obesity to date. I will be picking up his book to get the missing details. I would highly encourage everyone to watch those videos if you haven't already.
If you eat occasional raw meat you will not have kidney issues(sepsis)..check out Varis Ahmad..the man is a wealth of knowledge & explains the history of carnivore eating & the various populations that thrived because they ate predominantly meat..& won @ battles ..have a great day🤗
Anyone with chronic gout reading this, I very much concur with what Richard said about reducing inflammation to curb gout attacks. I've been suffering from gout since 24 and I'm almost 40. So yes, I have had to take colchicine many times but refused to get on the allopurinol wagon. Basically the rheumatoid/gout "specialist" gave up on me. It was one of Ken's previous videos that explicitly said the same thing about inflammation. Now I eat steak and/or bacon at least 5 days a week & copious amounts of eggs & seafood. All without having to worry about gout. Secret? 1.) no carbs/sugar/fruits (except berries)/alcohol 2.) minimize eating out (if I do, omega3 supplementation is doubled) 3.) cook only with cold-pressed oils or animal fats Good Luck
Ive notice My gout has gotten better on low carb diet. Going to do a trial on carnivour. What supplement do you used? Ive added in fish oil and noticed a big diffrence.
@@owenthomas9863 Yes years. One of my Dr's got a freebie when he asked to take a pic of my list. What do want. Is it too much to look up like Gymnema Sylvestre or Berberine or Cordyseps or Corn Silk (who woulda thought that one?), to name a few
Me too, Ilene! Carnivore for me too. It effortlessly helped me lose the 20 postmenopausal weight gain. When my mom was a young woman she changed her last name to Gallo from Galatioto. She thought it was way too Italian! My grandparents freaked out (they were from Sicily)
I eat both and mostly a lot of meat mesh wanted me to be fat ! She abused me when I weighed 110 not I try and get really full on 🥓🍖🍗🥓🍖🍗 it's like a hitchcock movie !
Dr. Richard Johnson is beyond extraordinary. He teaches not only as an amazing scientist but as human being, historian, anthropologist. I look up to him!
People who are obese 40 and under have a chance to get it right,I'm 58 with a lap band which I regret,had I had the knowledge of low carb and keto,carnivore,what a life changer it would have been,thank you, Ken Berry, Eric Westman, Eric Berg.
Same with me, but itwas keto that improved my health dramatically, bariatric only stopped the deterioration and gave my foggy brain a chance to figure out things. On your list of drs that I also follow I would add Dr Sten Ekberg. All the best to you.
I also had a lap band about 12 years ago. Now 78 yrs female. It certainly did helped in not putting more on. BUT……. If only we all had known about keto. About 1/2 better. But need carnivore. To completely heal. So been carnivore for 6 weeks. But weigh the same. Have fasted for 4 days each time X 3 times in last 3 mths. Love that fasted feeling. But just wish to loose . Think something else is going on.
@@dorsetboronia6744 I have been keto,ketovore, carnivore, and have seen weight loss, seems with a lap band it's a slow process, definitely keep fasting that is key for weight loss,whatever road you choose, keto,ketovore or carnivore, stay with it for health and longevity,good luck.
Old ppl have to be super strict OMAD EF weekly Keto For moooooooonths before u see real progress 3-6 mos Then it slooooowly starts to works It’s hard Period It’s a long long haul
My Uric Acid was always high,male family members suffer from gout but I always had a very dry rough left elbow, when I started the keto diet I had my first and only gout attack, very sore big toe for about 3 days.I’m 72 have lost over 40 Kgs , have lovely soft elbows now no more reflux, lost the pain in my legs have so much more energy and feel happy,eat mainly carnivore one to two meals a day.So pleased to have found all this great information on TH-cam .
Great talk! I was keto before keto was a word, many years ago, and getting the sugar /carbs out of your diet 100% is key to health. Lost 30lbs in about 3 months with no added exercise.
It's a good day when I have a Dr Berry video to watch during my morning workout.....and this interview with Dr Johnson was an exceptionally good one! I could have easily watched, and worked out, for another hour. Also, I learned some incredibly interesting things about bears, whales, and hummingbirds that I CAN NOT wait to share!!
So glad i watched this video! I've been on Keto, fell off due to allot of stress i allowed to take over my life. Getting back on track. I'm 57, type 2 diabetic, on Metformin & want off this stuff. Want to be around as ling as i can for my husband, children & grandchildren. And best of all be healthier for myself. Thank you for all you share & all your help for us out here that are struggling.
I was keto for 5 years and kept falling off too due to stress and depression- my biggest advice to others to sticking on it no matter the mood is increase the meat!! Dont hold back on size. Keto sorta promotes a moderate amount of fatty meat but once i ditched "moderate" and increased it- i managed to stick to low carb 90% of the time.
This was a very fascinating discussion and very informative too! Thank you both for your work and for helping all of us to become healthier. (Ketovore for 2 Years going strong) Cheers!
Very insightful and "user friendly" at the same time, loved it. BTW year ago, when asked, a dentist denied that there's a correlation between eating high amounts of sugar for prolonged time and gum disease and cavities.
Adaptation not evolution there is a difference. I'm watching all of Dr Berrys videos. They are so informative. Thank you Dr Berry for giving us REAL info for REAL health!! I am struggling to start carnivor. I can't seem to stop eating sugar and high carb foods. I've done keto before and felt so much better but just can't seem to get started this time. I am completely addicted to sugar. Is there anything that will help? My sons family will be moving out soon so I can just not keep it in house but lately I've been going up town just to feed my cravings.
i had to cut back on Keto , i was never overweight , so i was loosing too much weight , but i must say I had lots of energy which i loved ..my pre-diabetes went back to normal readings . So at this point i am doing Keto in moderation
I thoroughly enjoyed this interview! I agree with both of these doctors, a belief in a Creator does not conflict with an evolutionary process. Intelligent/creative man that develops languages, writing, and builds cities and civilizations is only several thousand years old, while there is too much evidence that everything else has been around for a very very long time.
I have listened to Rick Johnson on different podcast, I think he has great knowledge and insights into diet and health. He does emphasise the role of fructose in causing obesity and NAFL, but he also says saturated fat plays a significant part in causing NAFL and that saturated fat is unhealthy and poly unsaturated fats are healthy.
Can the two of you please do a controlled study measuring all the markers on ballet dancers, cross country runners, basketball players, competitive swimmers, etc. It seems there must be a level of activity that keeps people in shape regardless of diet.
Great interview! Just one note: I think we should not drink water with a meal, because it will dilute the gastric acid. We need the acid for digestion. And I can not force myself to drink 8 cups of water. It is not natural.
I really enjoyed this video and have watched it twice and have shared the link with others. I would like to see another Ken & Richard video in the future. Age 63 and started carnivore in mid April 2022 and dropped A1c from 8.5 to 5.7 and have gone from 325 to 255 pounds (lost 70 pounds so far). Last weeks labs: Total Cholesterol is 243, HDL 35, LDL 184, Triglycerides 120. Have been on Ozempic .5MG/Week off and on since December 2021 but did not change my diet, was not losing weight but fasting blood sugar went from 200s to 160s. The real magic started in April when I stopped eating SAD and went Carnivore with a little veg, heavy cream, and cheese along with 16/8 IF, and two meals per day. In June my A1c was 6.7. My fasting sugar is now around 92-105. Typical blood sugar an hour after eating a meal is now between 105 and 115. As soon as my A1c drops out of the pre-diabetic range I plan to ditch the Ozempic for good. The popularity of Ozempic has made it difficult to obtain for diabetics as this has become the latest diet wonder drug for the rich. Note: I was able to afford Ozempic via a 340B program with my health care provider and local pharmacy. My health care insurance would not cover it but the 340B made it affordable at $12/month. I tolerate Ozempic much better than Metformin. Keto-vore / carnivore works!
Actually learned a few new things. Excellent. At this point with what we know I think sucrose should be labeled with the skull and crossbones. To think people are consuming 150lbs a year is insane.
What's truly amazing about how the Lord designed the Hummingbird is that He gave us a key example to discover & study how to treat our own disease. "Evolution" is thus part of that design to show us how we can respond & adapt to the inevitable changes that occur in God's creation that we erroneously attribute as a "force of nature". Those who believe in God thus praise the Lord! Psalm 139:14 (KJV) I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
Absolutely wonderful! The uric acid information is very interesting. Fructose metabolism is even more so. Chimpanzees are still omnivores, more so than most folks are aware - they eat insects (in a tool-using stripped twig manner), go on monkey hunts and, when unstable, can become cannibals. They also hang out at overripe and fallen fruit trees to get drunk. When pursuing a master's degrees in physical anthropology decades ago (in combination with a double baccalaureate in cultural anthropology and math/computer science), it was obvious that the seasonal availability of natural foodstuffs lent itself to seasonal food cycling. Eating protein and fat whenever they could (everything: insects, eggs, birds, lizards, amphibians, fish, rodents and large game) but eat high oxalate greens in spring to get by (and some vitamins) then stop when they got woody so humans could also detox from the plant poisons, then eat starchy then sweet stuff until harvest to put on 30 plus pounds to become fertile and survive winter (the hunger and starving moons) via ketosis. Nature wanted us to be fat - for only a season - to survive!
@@aspinallsandy4810 Rhythmicwarrior gave a great explanation! In the spring, I purposely eat the young dandelion greens (rinsed at least 5 times) from my (no lawn care) yard a number of times until they are no longer tender (vitamins esp. C). If you do the same you'll fully appreciate the seasonality. I sometimes play with the petals as well to make dandelion jam or funny honey with alt. sweeteners and gelatin (I'm ketovore). I haven't yet tried to roast the roots for tea (diuretic) of this crazy useful spring bitter green. Then I stop to detox as I am sensitive to oxalates, so no baby spinach for me from the grocery year around.
Don't need to drink much water if your eating a PHD. I've been drinking 1-2 cups a day for quite a while, and let my body use its fat stores to metabolize the rest of the water it need.
He talks about the water in relation to eating salt. Too much salt in our system can trigger the process whereby we start making fructose. He says we need the water to dilute the salt so it doesn´t trigger that process. If you´re not adding salt to your food, it would be ok, in theory, to drink less water and get it from your fat stores like camels and other animals do.
Omg, that's why I got fatter and fatter eating fruit like a Frikking baboon on slimming world!!! Starving and growing my butt and belly at an alarming rate!!!!! Thank gods I found Dr Berry years ago.
I remember years ago, when I read to lower hunger by eating something healthy, to eat an apple. I found myself that if I ate an apple, it would make me hungrier!
That´s what would happen with me, as well. Anything sweet or starchy would just increase cravings and hunger. Only animal fat and some protein keep me satiated and feeling in control of my appetite.
Ingested protein is converted via gluconeogenesis as needed, it is not based on excess protein being converted. If you're body doesn't need glucose, the liver will not make it. Apparently, most doctors, scientists, researchers, don't have a definitive answer to the "how much protein" question. Estimates of protein per day per person range from one gram per kilo of lean weight, up to 1.5 grams per pound. It's very unsettled science, but most agree that gluconeogenesis is demand driven, not supply driven. Excess protein is passed in the urine.
@@pursuehealth940 The way I understand it that is not the whole story. If you eat more protein than you need, the excess will be converted. If you don't need glucose, then it will be stored as glycogen.
I LOVE that you mentioned dessert animals and how they get water. Cats are originally dessert animals. They don't need to drink water. If you're cat IS drinking water then they are not getting enough wet food or your giving them too much dry food. Cats are CARNIVORES! They shouldn't be eating dry kibble.
I just finished watching the opening few minutes to eating our way to extingtion and left two scathing reviews. I can't believe the attack on the Proper Human Diet...
I think that the evolution aspect just provides a story, of which many people get drawn in by. It’s an ancient story of epic proportions, but it is just a story.
When you eat too many carbs your body takes that as a signal that high quality food is rare and your body will pack in fat. Imagine a cave man trying to survive winter with little high quality meats and protein. Your body goes into survival mode due to low quality high carb foods. Your body packs on fat to survive lack of meat and protein.

People who are obese 40 and under have a chance to get it right,I'm 58 with a lap band which I regret,had I had the knowledge of low carb and keto,carnivore,what a life changer it would have been,thank you, Ken Berry, Eric Westman, Eric Berg.
Same with me, but itwas keto that improved my health dramatically, bariatric only stopped the deterioration and gave my foggy brain a chance to figure out things. On your list of drs that I also follow I would add Dr Sten Ekberg. All the best to you.
I also had a lap band about 12 years ago. Now 78 yrs female. It certainly did helped in not putting more on. BUT……. If only we all had known about keto. About 1/2 better. But need carnivore. To completely heal. So been carnivore for 6 weeks. But weigh the same. Have fasted for 4 days each time X 3 times in last 3 mths. Love that fasted feeling. But just wish to loose . Think something else is going on.
@@dorsetboronia6744 I have been keto,ketovore, carnivore, and have seen weight loss, seems with a lap band it's a slow process, definitely keep fasting that is key for weight loss,whatever road you choose, keto,ketovore or carnivore, stay with it for health and longevity,good luck.
Old ppl have to be super strict

100% correct
This is one of, if not THE best discussions regarding this topic. Thanks so much Dr. Johnson and Dr. Berry.
This interview is refreshing especially when working in the environment where every health care provider advice carbs for patients with diabetes...
My Uric Acid was always high,male family members suffer from gout but I always had a very dry rough left elbow, when I started the keto diet I had my first and only gout attack, very sore big toe for about 3 days.I’m 72 have lost over 40 Kgs , have lovely soft elbows now no more reflux, lost the pain in my legs have so much more energy and feel happy,eat mainly carnivore one to two meals a day.So pleased to have found all this great information on TH-cam .
It should not be lost on us how cheerful these guys are...so good to see joyful smiles!
Thank you Dr. Berry and Dr. Johnson. I thoroughly enjoyed that discussion. Hope you can have him back again in the future. #ketovore
I like when Dr Berry says that he believes in a Creator and that it does not exclude the common sense of science
Dr Berry - You’re doing amazing work. Thank you
Best interview from any low carb, keto or carnivore educator. (I watch them all!) Thank you! Brilliant. Dr. Berry, you are saving lives!
Great talk! I was keto before keto was a word, many years ago, and getting the sugar /carbs out of your diet 100% is key to health. Lost 30lbs in about 3 months with no added exercise.
Hummingbirds also eat many small insects, adding a lot of protein and necessary minerals to a diet otherwise devoid of meaningful nutrition.
Absolutely fascinating topic! I’m very tempted to send this to my doctor! ❤
Dr Berry, apart from this being a great interview...YOU are looking so good and radiant & younger!
It's a good day when I have a Dr Berry video to watch during my morning workout.....and this interview with Dr Johnson was an exceptionally good one! I could have easily watched, and worked out, for another hour.
Also, I learned some incredibly interesting things about bears, whales, and hummingbirds that I CAN NOT wait to share!!
So glad i watched this video! I've been on Keto, fell off due to allot of stress i allowed to take over my life. Getting back on track. I'm 57, type 2 diabetic, on Metformin & want off this stuff. Want to be around as ling as i can for my husband, children & grandchildren. And best of all be healthier for myself. Thank you for all you share & all your help for us out here that are struggling.
I was keto for 5 years and kept falling off too due to stress and depression- my biggest advice to others to sticking on it no matter the mood is increase the meat!! Dont hold back on size. Keto sorta promotes a moderate amount of fatty meat but once i ditched "moderate" and increased it- i managed to stick to low carb 90% of the time.
@@larissamezo6921 do you add butter
@@aspinallsandy4810 i did a while ago. But i cant tollerate dairy. So i do fatty meat instead.
@@larissamezo6921 Use Ghee instead of butter
@@barbjustus462 thanks but cant tolerate that either. More meat works for me
Wow, what a great, interesting guest, can't stop smiling looking and listening to him. Great job, Dr. Berry!
Fantastic podcast, thank you very much!!
This was a very fascinating discussion and very informative too! Thank you both for your work and for helping all of us to become healthier. (Ketovore for 2 Years going strong) Cheers!
Great, this is may be the interview of the year %%%
Thanks
We were not as a species on this earth 15 million years ago.
Very insightful and "user friendly" at the same time, loved it.
BTW year ago, when asked, a dentist denied that there's a correlation between eating high amounts of sugar for prolonged time and gum disease and cavities.
LOL!
Absolutely crazy!!!!!!
This discussion was fabulous! One of the best! Thank you.
Adaptation not evolution there is a difference.
I'm watching all of Dr Berrys videos. They are so informative. Thank you Dr Berry for giving us REAL info for REAL health!!
I am struggling to start carnivor. I can't seem to stop eating sugar and high carb foods.
I've done keto before and felt so much better but just can't seem to get started this time. I am completely addicted to sugar. Is there anything that will help?
My sons family will be moving out soon so I can just not keep it in house but lately I've been going up town just to feed my cravings.
I got chronic gout and proteinuria issue, following your advice cure all my disease in 9 months time.
i had to cut back on Keto , i was never overweight , so i was loosing too much weight , but i must say I had lots of energy which i loved ..my pre-diabetes went back to normal readings . So at this point i am doing Keto in moderation
That’s my concern too. Give me an idea pls how you modify. Thanks
@@cynthiajames5992High intensity exercise, low carb diet ,I.fasting 16/8 !
This was fantastic! Thank you Dr Berry for always bringing such valuable and interesting knowledge to us.
This is fascinating! Thank you so much Dr.Berry for doing this interview! ❤️
Very interesting conversation! Thank you for all you do to educate us on improving our health!
Fascinating conversation. Thank you both 💓💖
Such lovely gentleman!
Thank you Drs Berry and Johnson for sharing this wealth of information 🙏🏾💖
I thoroughly enjoyed this interview! I agree with both of these doctors, a belief in a Creator does not conflict with an evolutionary process. Intelligent/creative man that develops languages, writing, and builds cities and civilizations is only several thousand years old, while there is too much evidence that everything else has been around for a very very long time.
"Hardcore Carnivore," love that shirt! Many of us are thriving there now, thanks to you, Dr. Berry!
Amazing discussion. So informative. This knowledge needs to spread in a cogent, coherent way to the masses.
Dr Paul Saladino is salivating after hearing your guest say fruit is not bad for you.
I am so pleased to hear from a kidney specialist on this subject as I am 35gfr from reflux net and high bp. Food gives me anxiety.
Edit, reflux neph
I love Dr Berry's lingo...your information is spot on & I love your podcasts. ❤
I have listened to Rick Johnson on different podcast, I think he has great knowledge and insights into diet and health. He does emphasise the role of fructose in causing obesity and NAFL, but he also says saturated fat plays a significant part in causing NAFL and that saturated fat is unhealthy and poly unsaturated fats are healthy.
Thank you for all your great work. I’m going to do the 90 day challenge. I’m looking forward to the changes I’m sure I will realize.
Can the two of you please do a controlled study measuring all the markers on ballet dancers, cross country runners, basketball players, competitive swimmers, etc. It seems there must be a level of activity that keeps people in shape regardless of diet.
I enjoyed that much more than I thought I would and could easily listen for another hour.
Great interview! Just one note: I think we should not drink water with a meal, because it will dilute the gastric acid. We need the acid for digestion. And I can not force myself to drink 8 cups of water. It is not natural.
Yes..I read that years ago..also not to drink ice water also very unhealthy
GREAT GUEST!!
A fascinating interview! Love the stories Dr. Johnson shares!
I really enjoyed this video and have watched it twice and have shared the link with others. I would like to see another Ken & Richard video in the future. Age 63 and started carnivore in mid April 2022 and dropped A1c from 8.5 to 5.7 and have gone from 325 to 255 pounds (lost 70 pounds so far). Last weeks labs: Total Cholesterol is 243, HDL 35, LDL 184, Triglycerides 120. Have been on Ozempic .5MG/Week off and on since December 2021 but did not change my diet, was not losing weight but fasting blood sugar went from 200s to 160s. The real magic started in April when I stopped eating SAD and went Carnivore with a little veg, heavy cream, and cheese along with 16/8 IF, and two meals per day. In June my A1c was 6.7. My fasting sugar is now around 92-105. Typical blood sugar an hour after eating a meal is now between 105 and 115. As soon as my A1c drops out of the pre-diabetic range I plan to ditch the Ozempic for good. The popularity of Ozempic has made it difficult to obtain for diabetics as this has become the latest diet wonder drug for the rich. Note: I was able to afford Ozempic via a 340B program with my health care provider and local pharmacy. My health care insurance would not cover it but the 340B made it affordable at $12/month. I tolerate Ozempic much better than Metformin. Keto-vore / carnivore works!
this is a great result, and encouraging to hear. Can you explain what not eating SAD means please, thanks.
@@ritevibe SAD = Standard American Diet
@@michaelpowell782 ahh ok, i got it LOL thanks for replying Sir.
Actually learned a few new things.
Excellent.
At this point with what we know I think sucrose should be labeled with the skull and crossbones.
To think people are consuming 150lbs a year is insane.
Is stevia OK ?
@@jujubunnybea The jury is out re stevia.
People don't realize how much sugar they're sucking down in the sodas, flavored coffees with syrups, etc.
Really enjoyed this! Thanks for all you do Dr. Berry!
"I have a story on that...." How I love those words :)
Loved this conversation!!! So interesting! Thank you!
I am definitely of that body type. Eating once a day I have never felt better and of low carb my energy levels are through the roof
What's truly amazing about how the Lord designed the Hummingbird is that He gave us a key example to discover & study how to treat our own disease. "Evolution" is thus part of that design to show us how we can respond & adapt to the inevitable changes that occur in God's creation that we erroneously attribute as a "force of nature".
Those who believe in God thus praise the Lord!
Psalm 139:14 (KJV)
I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
Water is in coffee ,diet soda, 🍋 waters ECT
I loved this talk!!! The anthropology and animal biology topics were fantastic!!!
Absolutely wonderful! The uric acid information is very interesting. Fructose metabolism is even more so. Chimpanzees are still omnivores, more so than most folks are aware - they eat insects (in a tool-using stripped twig manner), go on monkey hunts and, when unstable, can become cannibals. They also hang out at overripe and fallen fruit trees to get drunk. When pursuing a master's degrees in physical anthropology decades ago (in combination with a double baccalaureate in cultural anthropology and math/computer science), it was obvious that the seasonal availability of natural foodstuffs lent itself to seasonal food cycling. Eating protein and fat whenever they could (everything: insects, eggs, birds, lizards, amphibians, fish, rodents and large game) but eat high oxalate greens in spring to get by (and some vitamins) then stop when they got woody so humans could also detox from the plant poisons, then eat starchy then sweet stuff until harvest to put on 30 plus pounds to become fertile and survive winter (the hunger and starving moons) via ketosis. Nature wanted us to be fat - for only a season - to survive!
When they got woody? Sorry I don't understand that phrase, Could you explain, Thanks in advance
@@aspinallsandy4810 Young plants are tender. As they age, they harden up, becoming more fibrous, or woody.
@@aspinallsandy4810 Rhythmicwarrior gave a great explanation! In the spring, I purposely eat the young dandelion greens (rinsed at least 5 times) from my (no lawn care) yard a number of times until they are no longer tender (vitamins esp. C). If you do the same you'll fully appreciate the seasonality. I sometimes play with the petals as well to make dandelion jam or funny honey with alt. sweeteners and gelatin (I'm ketovore). I haven't yet tried to roast the roots for tea (diuretic) of this crazy useful spring bitter green. Then I stop to detox as I am sensitive to oxalates, so no baby spinach for me from the grocery year around.
A jolly good 5 star conversation
What a splendid interview! Thank you, Doctors!
That was a fantastic interview!
Don't need to drink much water if your eating a PHD. I've been drinking 1-2 cups a day for quite a while, and let my body use its fat stores to metabolize the rest of the water it need.
He talks about the water in relation to eating salt. Too much salt in our system can trigger the process whereby we start making fructose. He says we need the water to dilute the salt so it doesn´t trigger that process. If you´re not adding salt to your food, it would be ok, in theory, to drink less water and get it from your fat stores like camels and other animals do.
Omg, that's why I got fatter and fatter eating fruit like a Frikking baboon on slimming world!!! Starving and growing my butt and belly at an alarming rate!!!!!
Thank gods I found Dr Berry years ago.
I remember years ago, when I read to lower hunger by eating something healthy, to eat an apple. I found myself that if I ate an apple, it would make me hungrier!
That´s what would happen with me, as well. Anything sweet or starchy would just increase cravings and hunger. Only animal fat and some protein keep me satiated and feeling in control of my appetite.
Awesome interview!!
Great discussion. What I missed was information about protein and how it can be converted to glucose. It's another reason not to go crazy on proteins.
Because we don't store protein, we store fats. The excess fat can be converted for use in hormones, but it can also be converted to blood glucose.
Ingested protein is converted via gluconeogenesis as needed, it is not based on excess protein being converted. If you're body doesn't need glucose, the liver will not make it. Apparently, most doctors, scientists, researchers, don't have a definitive answer to the "how much protein" question. Estimates of protein per day per person range from one gram per kilo of lean weight, up to 1.5 grams per pound. It's very unsettled science, but most agree that gluconeogenesis is demand driven, not supply driven. Excess protein is passed in the urine.
@@pursuehealth940 The way I understand it that is not the whole story. If you eat more protein than you need, the excess will be converted. If you don't need glucose, then it will be stored as glycogen.
I LOVE that you mentioned dessert animals and how they get water. Cats are originally dessert animals. They don't need to drink water. If you're cat IS drinking water then they are not getting enough wet food or your giving them too much dry food. Cats are CARNIVORES! They shouldn't be eating dry kibble.
Agree!
DESERT ANIMALS. Ice cream is a dessert.
And, I loved what he said about drinking water.
Love your t shirt doc...😍
Love this video. Retired dr in sweden avoiding carbs
I'm diabetic and I've never eaten sugar.. except Halloween. I really feel like I got the parasites from bread and veggies.
Fascinating. I need to read that. Thank you both!
Great episode. Dr. Johnson is a charming, nice guy. His voice reminds me of Tom Bosley.
Wow so interesting and insightful 👏 thanks Dr berry and Dr Johnson
Loving your shirt Dr. Barry. 💪
Like Dr Berry, Dr Johnson has a real sense of humor. Lol 😊
I just finished watching the opening few minutes to eating our way to extingtion and left two scathing reviews. I can't believe the attack on the Proper Human Diet...
I think that the evolution aspect just provides a story, of which many people get drawn in by. It’s an ancient story of epic proportions, but it is just a story.
3 years carnivore. Started at 300 pounds at 6'6, down to 220. At 41, I feel as good as I did in my mid 20s.
Never going back.
I love this guy, what a great interview lol 😂
Thanks Docs. Stay Calm and Carnivore On
When you eat too many carbs your body takes that as a signal that high quality food is rare and your body will pack in fat. Imagine a cave man trying to survive winter with little high quality meats and protein. Your body goes into survival mode due to low quality high carb foods. Your body packs on fat to survive lack of meat and protein.
Sooo many new stuff to learn in less than 1 hour!
Amazing, enlighting, super interesting
Thank you
👏👏👏I enjoyed this interview, it helps to know that there are doctors that support keto or low carb diets
