Vegetarian for 20 years started becoming ill, doubled down to raw vegan. After almost dying found carnivore and have regained my health. Worry a bit about the damage done by years of a plant based diet.
I’m right there with you. Vegan 25 years and vegetarian a total of 32 😢 lots of health issues reversed with Keto. Now using Paleomedicina’s carnivore diet to cure my breast cancer. Good luck to you and just don’t look back!!
Vegetarian for 15 years, my body started to fall apart... and moved to keto due to breast cancer almost a year ago and saw health improvements so now I'm slowly moving into more carnivore/ ketovore and slowly feeling better, and more confident I can get back to optimal health.
Judy, I think you and your team deserve to be publicly rewarded and recognized for all the work you did for the Carnivore Summit 2023. It was so great! I learned a lot, and it was the support I needed. THANK YOU 🙏
I wish I could watch. I tried about 15 times over a month to buy full access but it never let me continue to the next page to pay. (Just went and tried again on 7/9/23 and the "Continue" button is still greyed out. It is the part where you type in your email address. No matter what email I type, it won't "continue" I WANT to pay the 98 dollars and I can't. I am sure there are MANY more people this is happening to.
Dr. Berry is so right about IODINE. Most of us are deficient in this mineral. Please don't ignore it. I started supplementing it since late February this year and finally my body temperature is higher and again my metabolism is staring to wake up. Not to mention my hair, eyebrows and eyelashes are growing again. Before I found out I am iodine deficient I lost 1/3 of my eyebrow and I had 50% of my eyelashes the rest was gone. I know I am on the right track. For those who also struggle with enemia you need to supplement Iron and Iodine at least 3 hours apart. I take iron with acerola then after 3 hours take iodine with selenium. For those who are carnivour and can't lose weight it can be due to iodine deficiency. T3 is responsible for our metabolism so if you have low thyroid (you have hypothirosim) it will be impossbile to lose weigth. I watched many hours of vidoes on youtube with content pertanining to this so I have a minimal knowledge and I was able to troubleshoot my problem. I was puzzled for a while 🙂 IODINE is crucial so don't brush it off. I forgot to mention that I had sever leg/feet cramps at night so I was supplementing megnesium and potassium and ate salt to taste with my meat yet my cramps didn't completly go away until after 2 months supplementing IODINE. Yes , lack of iodine in our diet will also cause cramps. cheers
@beastbombshell3589 eating too little with hypothyroidism can prevent weight loss. Losing weight with hypothyroidism can be complicated unless the hypothyroidism has been adequately and appropriately treated and quite often this is not the case. Current treatment guidelines mean treatment is merely for keeping people alive and not improving quality of life.
@@patrycja2696 I dont think ranking is necessary. Everybody is doing their part. These people are literally curing dieseases and conditions that have been labelled "incurable" by the medical system. Every medical provider in this community is a great soul and a true doctor! :) Appreciate the FREE info instead of argue about the "leaderboard"
People who say meat is inflammatory, think again. I have neuropathy in my feet. Since going Ketavore my neuropathy is 80% gone!! I made a mistake and ate a piece of cheesecake one night, HUGE mistake! Next morning my feet hit the floor and all I felt was pins and needles most of day every step I took that day. NEVER AGAIN! I've lost 35 pounds so far, only 2 points to go and I will no longer be pre diabetic, and my triglycerides are down 90 points! I still have a way to go but Holy what a start! Started this WOE in February of this year. 🎉 Will NEVER go back!
I had neuropathy too like you my numbness went away but the pain lingered for 2 years on Carnivore. I started cold water (59°) baths after just 3 months the pain is completely gone. If your pain persist you might want to look into cold water exposure. Plus I’ve started “Earthing” aka grounding… it’s been helping with eliminating inflammation all over my body. Best wishes, 🙏❤️🩹
If meat was inflamatory, that would mean, that all animals eating animals would suffer inflamation all their lives. On the other hand... Our meat we buy is not the same as wild caught meat from animals roam free until they are killed for food! Our farm animals are inorisoned, living in prisons, eating only what the owners feed them, using antibiotics, growthhormones vaccines, meds. Not much free range and enclosed in their own faeces, eating even their own species. There is so much ingormation right there, to long here to describe all. I think, we people ate all kind of foods in the wild as nomads! But now, we are 'industrialized' with all consequenses. Meat is not the problem in nature, but the 'modern world' it is. I hope you find the right nutrition working for you and avoid meds, vaccinations, antibiotics and other non healthy foods. Kind regards.
Dr. Berry is the family doctor we all wish we’d had. Thanks for putting this video up, Judy. I’m looking forward to reading through all the papers that came along with the Carnivore Summit 2023 subscription. Great job!!
Agree. I´ve followed many of the carnivore advocates for about 6 years now, and it seems I´ve winnowed it down to getting most of my new info (or great reminders) from Judy Cho and Ken Berry. I´ll still check in with a few other favorites now and then, but more for variety than anything else. These two are solid and so knowledgeable. 👍
Both of you were instrumental in getting me started on my journey! Judy, your book Carnivore Cure helped me to begin.. I did the elimination diet and never looked back. At the same time, Dr Berry's videos were popping up on my feed and I learned so much and am still learning! I thank God for using you both in my life! I lost 187 lbs and am doing wonderfully! Lord bless you!!
@@NutritionwithJudy Hello Judy may I ask about kidney health.The more meat you eat the more you tax the kidneys and the lower your egfr goes as they have to handle the waste products of protein metabolism, your kidneys are aging and so egfr is going down with age, wont the carnivore diet speed this progression? Thankyou.
I ate a home made lemon scone after 2 years of avoiding wheat, had nocturnal anxiety and insomnia for THREE nights. Scones are NOT worth it. Used to eat three or four for a snack…my gut microbiome is much healthier now❤my joints do not ache and I can do deep knee bends unassisted and I’m 68 (feeling 18) Dr Berry taught me the PHD 2 years ago. I am so blessed to be a follower of these two stellar health educators.
LAMB? I want add to Dr. Berry adding S for Seafood. L for lamb. Eating BEEELS!!! SLEEBS!!! BEESEL!!! 😆 I absolutely love both of you so much! I tell EVERYONE about you guys because you GENUINELY care about people's health, THANK YOU!
Thank you for discussing how nutrition research is done-it has pissed me off for decades, but SO MANY people as well as professionals Don’t seem to realize it! I’m sure your videos will help!❤
2 1/2 year carni/ketovore, as I occasionally have been testing my response to a few locally grown things from my friends gardens, as lemon, avocado, olives... and with a good result. For fun I tried to add some pineapple one day last week. I had one small slice. Never again! My body responded immediately. I won't even touch honey! 😂 Thank you for this talk ❤
@@natashas.3119 Like I'd eaten 'a ton' of sugar, is the best way to describe it. My muscles got tight and the body 'jittery', and I used the same method to get rid of it: Out walking a challenging walk for a couple of hours. The funny thing is, that it can happen I accidentally get a bit of sugar, and my body really don't respond anymore. But this reaction was a memory from the past, when it did... I have the theory, that when I eat out occasionally and have one or two cherry tomatoes or a piece of avocado, that is grown here, picked straight off the plant, ripened by the sun, I don't respond, but the pineapple wasn't local and has probably been stored a long time? 🤷♀️ I just know, I'm never having that again... 😂
Iodine is important. However, people confuse Iodine with Iodide. Iodide blocks receptors in your thyroid. This is why it is protective against radiation, however, it also blocks the normal function of your thyroid in the same way Bromides and Chlorides can block your thyroid receptors. Great interview with Dr. Berry
Fantastic interview that perfectly consolidates almost all of the medical insights I’ve gained and directly experienced after a year of being a full carnivore. I’ve strictly followed pure paleo common sense and the studious scientific insights of REAL medical professionals like Dr. Berry, Dr. Paul Mason, Robert Lustig, Siegfried’s cancer research, and a whole host of other board certified medically trained professionals, along with qualified nutritionist like yourself, Judy. I must say that you are my favorite nutritionist in TH-cam. Because you are mindful, professional, well spoken, and not “myopic” with the scientific findings that you share. You have the balance I seek in anyone providing data, experience, and research on these matters. After a year of clean eating, mental clarity, consistent energy, strong health and vitality, I’m a living example of how life changing one’s life can be when you eliminate oxalate and plant toxins and actually enjoy eating what Dr. Berry calls, “the Proper Human Diet.” I’ve also subscribed to, tried-out, and entertained the recommendations by the likes of (psychologist doctor) Paul Saladino and the “putting clothes on your sugars and carbs” approach that Glucose Goddess has made popular among those who don’t want to budge from their addiction to the indoctrinated modern food culture. But my anatomy rejected that fructose and veg approach, which immediately brought back inflammation, brain fog, and other issues I’ve experienced my whole life in the past. I have no issues now rejecting and/or politely turning down offers to eat that old poison diet at gatherings and whatnot. I follow the undeniable, Paleo historical facts and science. THAT is what dictates what I put into body as to what is the most optimal, fat and ketone-rich foods that the human body requires. As long as I don’t stray from that, my health, microbiome, consistent energy levels, and sense of well-being stays in perfect alignment. Thanks for all you do, Judy. Listen to your body, people! It’s crying out for your help to feed it the right food!! 👊😎
I buy fish a couple of times a week, always fresh but one day the supermarket didn't have what I needed I bought frozen, crumbed fish for a change. After I got it home I read the instructions and the stuff that had been added to the crumbs. A list I couldn't believe, but what really caught my eye was this. "For human consumption only" Not to be used for bait or fish.
I stopped buying fish because of fish farmers. It's very difficult to separate real from fake. Fishing is the only way one can be sure one is eating wild caught.
I have honey in my pantry. I didn't use it much even before going carnivore. Honey has no expiration date. I keep it for "just in case" because it can be used for medicinal purposes, if necessary. It's very good for wounds.
Dr Rick Johnson is an expert and says whole natural fruit as Paul eats it is fine and healthy. Honey raw honey as Paul eats it is fine if you're not diabetic. Dr Berry is obviously scared of it but you can eat it.
@@jeffrey4577 You can eat anything you want. He's not saying you can't eat it. It's more an individual thing. I never ate a lot of honey to begin with, but I have always had it on hand.
I have all kinds of honey in my cupboard, but since I no longer can have it on buttered toast or English muffins, it’s just a generous spoonful in my tea when I am sick, or in winter. More a medicine than a food. If I try to eat it as a separate food, it makes my teeth hurt! I’ve only been on meat-based low carb for 6 weeks or so. If, NEXT October, I have lost enough weight, I might just go off the rails and bake a batch of lebkuchen (a kind of German Christmas cookie, name means honey cakes). Once they’re gone, you’re done for another year!
Great interview with Dr Berry, and I loved your explanation and confirmation of the BBBE nutrients being balanced enough for me to consider trying it. New subscriber here!
Well I switched cold turkey to carnivore, honey moon for 3 weeks, then bedridden for 5 weeks, just eating the same things. Thanks God I came across Sally K Norton. I am severely poisoned with oxalates. Going cold turkey can be life-threatening, if you don't have the info. Paul Salidino may help himself with fruits to manage his oxalates dumpings....
Seems to be a very personal thing and not everybody has oxalate dumping. I was having a spinach shake every single day plus spinach, salads, and lots of beans, and a whole bunch of vegetables that were high in oxalates and yet when I started the carnivore diet, I didn't notice anything different in my stomach or bowels or how I felt about anything.
I have hereditary angioedema and my immunologist said she doesn't know what is causing it. I have done all the tests to find out what is it I am allergic to. I am so fed up of this problem.. I am going to try this carnivore diet to see what will happen...
Others have pointed out that Saladino was eating far too little protein and/or too little fat, especially for his high level of physical activity. Others think his nutrient levels were off from excessive consumption of organ meats. Of course, all of these theories could be right as contributing factors.
He's also very lean. No one mentions that. Try having a higher activity level with low fat stores and then add in chronic under eating lol. Not sustainable. I think he simply wasn't eating enough. Just my observation.
Hi Judy, I started the carnivore diet 10 months ago and now they found a mass in my right breast. I've always been very aware of being healthy and have wanted to do all I can to never get cancer and done all the preventative things possible. When I found carnivore it made perfect sense to do cancer by keeping the body in ketosis. So when they found this in my breast I'm now shocked and scared. Are there any testimonies of women who are carnivore with breast cancer issues? I need some direction and encouragement. Thanks
Get another test. Sometimes they are faulty. Maybe your body is reacting to beef? Some are. Get a.personal session with one of these experts. Maybe up your fat too? Iodine, mushrooms etc.
Oh, no. My friend is going through this right now. Did you get the Covid vax? Dr. Ryan Cole has reported on "turbo cancers" appearing like never before. Keto and carnivore are the best diets for cancer. Cancer cells LOVE sugar. Dr. Boz on TH-cam helped her mother through cancer relying on a keto diet. I imagine carnivore is even better. I no longer trust doctors after what we went through with Covid. They just seem to be Big Pharma reps. CDC and the FDA are obviously corrupt. Functional medicine is the way to go. I send you my best wishes. Pray to be led to a good cancer doctor. I know God watches over us. He will help you. Be positive! That is essential to kicking cancer.
Love Dr Berry, love Judy. I have, over the last 50 years, been reading on the subject of ancestral diet and using evolutionary principles as a measure of how far we have deviated since the Neolithic transition. But in the carnivore world, I think there is a risk of throwing the baby out with the bath-water. There are some critical questions/issues which need to be addressed: Firstly, the stable isotope analysis certainly shows a preponderance of animal food sources. It also shows that there was a non-negligible proportion (say around 20%} or plant material. Dental plaque analysis shows evidence in some paleolithic sites, of mushrooms being a significant source of nourishment. Other evidence shows extensive seasonal consumption of acorn product. So, the question is, to what extent did Paleolithic diet include small amount of plant matter, which may have had a disproportionate metabolic effect, necessary to make the animal sourced food operate effectively. Secondly (and there may be a simple answer) - did the stable isotope analysis tell us what food sources feed both the body and the microbiome? Thirdly, the animal products consumed, particularly the ruminants, were presumably feeding on a vastly different diet, much richer in phyto nutrients, and polyphenols. Does modern meat provide the same plant based nutrients? Fourthly, did our Paleolithic ancestors have so many other lifestyle differences that made a largely meat based diet healthy, in ways which are not replicated today - going to bed with the sun, different exercise patters, different breathing patterns, acute v chronic stress.Dissolved magnesium is absent from our water, and fluoride is present. Fifthly our Paleolithic ancestors ate seasonally. Some foods came at great cost - such as honey. There is no doubt that honey was consumed ancestrally - very occasionally This can dramatically alter the health impact. Sixthly, evolutionary principles are complex. Simple Darwinian survival may tell us that a meat based diet is optimal for fitness and reproduction in adulthood. It does not inform on living into very old age. Secondarily, epigenetic principles further complicate the picture as epigenetic changes can be very fast and have multi-generational effects. I raise these questions, not to undermine the importance of animal products as critical to proper human diet, but to bullet-proof a proper view of what ancestral diet was, and how that should inform modern performance. And thank you for your informative offerings.
Both these people have zero credentials in anything, no awards or honors in physics, biology, anthropology, geography, ecology, chemistry, horticulture, zoology, mineralogy, oceanography, limnology, agriculture, archaeology of humans, soil science, geology, veterinary science, hydrology, cardiology, nutrition science, ethics or how the ecosystem works. The 230 pound guy has a few disciplinary actions against him.
In his book on page 103 he says nuts and seeds are very healthy, the nutrients and fiber are great. Page 187 says I eat many servings of colorful veggies everyday. Page 192 says there are many days each week I eat no fiber at all. Page 205 says I often go days without eating anything but fatty meat. The guy can't think straight because he eats a bunch of garbage. No references in the book because he knows nothing.
@@Jeffs60 They clearly have good credentials, why stick this reply on the comment which I made, which was not a partisan position, but seeking feedback on potentially live issues in this area
@@Marshadow69 They both have zero credentials in the topic which they are discussing which is why what they are talking about is also accredited by nothing.
In a much more generic way, I said the same thing. What Berry "knows" about our ancestral diet is based on very old data. The last 10-20 years has made amazing discoveries on new, lost ancient civilizations and their dietary staples which often included heavy agriculture.
"Cells, tissues, and organs" aren't the only targets of fructose glycation. Fructose glycation can occur to LDL cholesterol, it will break down the LDL particle size from pattern A to pattern B, just as glucose from other carbohydrates. Individuals with pattern A are more likely to have normal blood levels of LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and triglycerides. Pattern A is usually not associated with an increased likelihood of atherosclerosis. Persons with LDL cholesterol pattern B have increased small and dense LDL cholesterol particles. Glycation, and oxidation from seed oils, act to take cholesterol from pattern A to pattern B. As I understand it.
Wow! 2 of my favorite carnivore people!! Keto for 3 years ...switched to carnivore 2 months ago,doing great...down 65 lbs ...but my iron is still low...what can I do? Thank you!❤
Gotta love a Doctor that helps you to get around labs, but especially a Doctor who tells you how to get around the MEDICAL CODES to get it paid by the Insurance. 😂😂😂 Absolutely love what this man has done for people.
Well, I am 77 and I will participate in the study , but only if I can be in the BBBE group! I already went vegetarian for a year and ended up anemic and then continued to have more health problems after I switched back to a 'normal' healthy diet. No way would I go without meat! Would you believe my endocrinologist told me to stop taking my iodine as it was too high!
Thank you Judy and Dr Ken! I am learning all the time and am currently reading Lies My Doctor Told Me. You guys are awesome! I’m starting carnivore but slight veggies like onion, green pepper , mushrooms on ribeye.
Since on carnivore I got the second time terrible cold after I stopped supplementing of the vitamin C. The second time I got the cold this week during hot summer days. I did not have cold more than 25 years even I forgot what is cold ... I do not understand ... For me is only the one explanation = lack of the vitamin C. To get twice the cold within 4 months after stopping of supplementation of the vitamin C can not be coincidence...
I'm caught between a rock and a hard place. After over a year and a half keto, and seven months mostly carnivore, I'm still dealing with bouts of twitches and leg cramps and crazy tiredness. I've experimented with modulating the fat between 66-80%, raising and lowering protein, and all the usual one-size-fits-all advice that people give. Constipation also comes and goes. I also have a generous amount of Redmond's salt, and take trace minerals (which often make it worse and make me pee alot). After waking up screaming a few nights ago with legs locked up, I decided that, screw it all, this is clearly not working, and I am meant to have more carbs. So I've been having some fruit and starches the last few days (no more than 100 total grams of carbs) and my energy and cramping have definitely improved. But today I could feel my joints and my gut in a quite unpleasant way. So I can have either high energy with no twitches and cramping but with painful digestion and inflammation on one hand, or I can have low energy with twitches and cramps, but smoother digestion and no inflammation on the other. Maybe I'll just alternate. Anyway, the dogma is definitely not working for me, but neither is the alternative.
Have you thought of supplementing with exogenous ketones or exogenous ATP? Those are two main sources of energy besides glucose that for various reasons your body might be struggling to produce.
@@MarmaladeINFP Actually, yes, I was recently considering taking MCT oil, but am hesitant because it doesn't seem like that would encourage my body to produce its own ketones, but rather a band-aid. Have never heard of the other thing you mentioned.
Do you have a history of consuming large amounts of Vitamin A (either retinol or carotenoids), using pharmaceuticals containing retinoids (e.g. Accutane, isotretinoin), or consuming large amounts of oxalates? I've struggled with incessant twitching and cramping around my entire body for years after doing a strict carnivore diet, and I suspect it is related to a history of Vitamin A toxicity and/or oxalate toxicity. Eating carbs helps my situation a little but definitely does not stop the twitching and cramping. Another possibility that has some overlap with those toxicities is a problem with your cell membranes related to a deficiency in choline, phospholipids, and/or essential fatty acids. Here's a list of things to look into: Electrolyte deficiency Choline deficiency Fatty Acid Deficiency Thiamine Deficiency Taurine Deficiency Other nutrient deficiencies that prevent energy production Heavy Metal Toxicity Hypoxia Also, you said you're "mostly carnivore". If you're still drinking coffee, that might be contributing. I've seen some videos of people saying their benign fasciculation syndrome (incessant muscle twitching) diminished or stopped entirely after dropping coffee/caffeine.
@@StraightMobbinAK No to the Vitamin A and pharmaceuticals. Oxalates, hard to say. I wouldn't know. A few months ago I had some blood work which revealed a slightly elevated homocysteine, which could be related. Since then I've been taking a B supplement with choline, NAC, and trimethylglycine. I've noticed coffee exacerbate the problem, but I've also seen it happen regardless. I went to one meal a day three or four months ago and didn't have any problems for a while. It seemed to help. But over the past month the excellent OMAD routine stopped working and I ground to a halt. Maybe I wasn't getting enough nutrition and it took a while to manifest. Now I'm thinking more about Donald Layman's advice to split up daily protein into multiple meals to activate muscle protein synthesis. I don't know what's what anymore. But the single biggest suspect, I think, is poor absorption from poor digestion. I have a history of South American food poisoning incidents followed by IBS, and alternating periods of diarrhea and constipation. I definitely noticed with a recent round of this that the twitches and cramps seemed to come with it. But now that I'm thinking about it some more, the first time I remember having crazy twitches was twelve years ago when I came off of a seven-year round of antidepressants and eight months of Aderol. Actually, that was when I learned that term you used: Bening Fasciculation Syndrome (though I disagee with calling it "benign"). Other than all that, I have a history of fatigue and depression ( which is really just the emotional manifestation of fatigue) as well as late-night bingeing on carb-heavy foods. Maybe my system is too damaged to handle ketosis very well, I don't know. What's weird though, is that, even though I feel like I'm in an energy slump all week, as soon as the weekend comes I'll get on the hiking trail and have limitless energy once I start moving--to the point of passing everyone on the trail up the mountain. It always amazes me how it just seems to come out of nowhere, after struggling all week. It's like I need a threshold level of exercise to break through the fatigue. Unfortunately, the workweek--as strenuous as it is--does not give me the crazy aerobic push that I need to break through.
I’m avoiding seed oils refined sugars refined carbs and sedentary life style. I’m confident this is the reason why most people are sick today plus It seems that before the induction of these toxins people were healthy for the most part which tells me that fruit and vegetables/starchy veg is not the problem. I understand that we are all different but I think most of the populous is ok to eat real food no matter what it is. I would add that eating at restaurants is a death sentence.
Given the importance of iodine and the inefficacy of iodized salt , it would be nice to have a recommendation on the level of iodine consumption per day. I believe the RDA was set back in the 1930s to avoid goiter, but is obviously not the ideal level.
So, is supplementary iodine with Lugal’s a good source of absorbable iodine. And, how to handle daily massive diarrhea issues with autoimmune progressive systemic sclerosis with the GI tract extremely altered?
Thank you both, always a pleasure to listen to you!❤ I pnce read a book abput taking high dosis of iodine to fight breastcancer. Cannot remember the author. I was taking the high dosis iodine only to experience in menopause and it made me feel a kind of happy. But I quit because of my fear to put in danger my thyroid. Has Dr.Berry any recommendation abput how much iodine we should use? I have Lugol solution, 1 drop 6 mg.
So quick question: If the glycation tests are "blind" to fructose's glycation, exactly how is the glycation of fructose measured to then be determined as more glycating than glucose?
Fruit has sugar or fructose As well as honey, being glucose, pure sugar. They both do the same thing in the body, but honey just does it faster than fruit. Very inflammatory to eat sugar or the likes of it.
I tried carnivore for the 2nd time and both times I was not able to balance my electrolytes. The muscle cramps were debilitating and I take magnesium. The second time I actually gained weight!! At this time I have re-introduced honey, bananas, pineapple, strawberries and watermelon. The 2nd time I started carnivore I ate only beef, butter and salt/LMNT.
Probably have a history of high oxalates in your diet. As they are released on carnivore they bond with electrolytes and carry them out of the body. Cramps are pretty much the indicator of how your body handles oxalates.
You may be right! No matter, I still have to get up and go to work, and I am on my feet on a concrete floor eight hours a day, five days a week. What I may try to do is alternate in an out of carnivore for a while, or find a Happy balance of a few carbs. I believe the fruits I’m eating on are low oxalate.
Wow, as I was reading all the things you added into your diet those fruits are the highest concentration of sugars in all the other fruits. Sugar is bad for your body, so why would you add that many and that much to the diet that you're supposed to be eliminating all sugars and all carbs?
@@Livetoeat171 I’m not on carnivore anymore, so I’m not eliminating, just slowly adding things back in. ie; fruits, roots, honey and yogurt-and of course, meat, cheese and eggs
@@debbiedenker8976I have a theory that the sneaky subconscious programmed mind that is addictited to sweet (fructose) causes these bodily issues so you don't continue the healthy carnivore diet. It's that tricky and clever.
How much Iodine if you've had a thyroidectomy? I have about 1/3 left and it's still working. I do wish someone would address dosage if there are as many deficiencies as they claim.
Thanks Judy and Dr. Berry. Why don't we take 50 homeless people from San Francisco and NYC, put them on an all meat diet for 60 days-closely monitored and see what happens? Can anybody guess what the results will be?
Been subbed to Dr Berry for many years. Bought his book when it first came out. Only thing I disagreed on was that I drink raw milk and he was against milk at the time. Still drink the milk and think he has moderated his views on dairy since then. Anyway - don't believe everything all those who post on youtube - for example, Saladino's 200-400g of carbs seems crazy.
Since a glucometer only measures the glucose (and not fructose) in your blood, would we need to get testing on the liver to see if there is fat accumulation due to fructose consumption? I’m currently strict carnivore but would eventually like to enjoy low glycemic fruits in moderation after I heal myself.
I feel better with high fat carnivore, but I have a hard time sleeping. I drink magnesium and salt my food and water, but still didn’t help my sleep. I’ve been doing this for around 3 months. I notice I sleep better when I add some fruit and honey. Help.
Me too, which is why I always end up eating some carbs. And I am around three months into is as well… perhaps there is still healing or detoxing going on in the background
I also struggle with sleep on carnivore and leg cramps and I also take all the proper supplements as well as iodine. When I eat some healthy carbs I instantly sleep better on the days I do. Makes me wonder if it’s for every body type to be a strict carnivore.
My uric acid measurement has risen on my last blood test. I was 8 days into the carnivore diet. It was 9.0. It says red meat can cause it. Maybe because I was so new into it?
I have a serious question…on a carnivore diet, eating several strips of bacon for breakfast, lunch, and dinner with very fatty red meat for someone who is type 2 diabetic unhealthy? In the past, I ate anything my heart desired which led to 2 heart attacks 12 years apart, now I’m on a carnivore diet and I’m eating a lot of red meat and a lot of bacon, no carbs and no sugar. So, given my history, is eating too much greasy meat unhealthy?
I went keto and helped my anxiety, it's almost completely gone. I'm considering trying carnivore for a while for the dermatitis on my hands. Something is causing inflammation (lips too, maybe nightshades?) One question though, I absolutely love eating butter off the spoon, but in the back of my mind is a voice always saying "your diet will be too rich with all these fats" etc...is this just conditioning or could I really make my diet too rich? I cook with fat from slow cooked oxtail or fried bacon, I put double cream or butter in coffee, and as I said I eat some butter off a spoon for dessert. It feels so decadent and is it a little much?
Hi, Judy! There are many iodine supplements on the market now a days and I'm wondering if there are any strengths or brand names to look for. I've been on carnivore for the last year and recently went full beef, butter, eggs and beef liver (it's hard to find bacon here lol). Any help is appreciated, thanks ya!
Vegetarian for 20 years started becoming ill, doubled down to raw vegan. After almost dying found carnivore and have regained my health. Worry a bit about the damage done by years of a plant based diet.
Sorry you had to go through that and hope you find optimal health soon 🙏🏻
I’m right there with you. Vegan 25 years and vegetarian a total of 32 😢 lots of health issues reversed with Keto. Now using Paleomedicina’s carnivore diet to cure my breast cancer. Good luck to you and just don’t look back!!
😊😊😊
Vegan and vegetarian 10 years. Could barely get out of bed, couldn't lose weight!
Vegetarian for 15 years, my body started to fall apart... and moved to keto due to breast cancer almost a year ago and saw health improvements so now I'm slowly moving into more carnivore/ ketovore and slowly feeling better, and more confident I can get back to optimal health.
Judy, I think you and your team deserve to be publicly rewarded and recognized for all the work you did for the Carnivore Summit 2023. It was so great! I learned a lot, and it was the support I needed. THANK YOU 🙏
Thank you! We put in a lot of efforts but it was just as rewarding for us. We learned and grew from hosting and from all the amazing speakers! ❤
Agree!
I wish I could watch. I tried about 15 times over a month to buy full access but it never let me continue to the next page to pay. (Just went and tried again on 7/9/23 and the "Continue" button is still greyed out. It is the part where you type in your email address. No matter what email I type, it won't "continue" I WANT to pay the 98 dollars and I can't. I am sure there are MANY more people this is happening to.
Dr. Berry is so right about IODINE. Most of us are deficient in this mineral. Please don't ignore it. I started supplementing it since late February this year and finally my body temperature is higher and again my metabolism is staring to wake up. Not to mention my hair, eyebrows and eyelashes are growing again. Before I found out I am iodine deficient I lost 1/3 of my eyebrow and I had 50% of my eyelashes the rest was gone. I know I am on the right track. For those who also struggle with enemia you need to supplement Iron and Iodine at least 3 hours apart. I take iron with acerola then after 3 hours take iodine with selenium. For those who are carnivour and can't lose weight it can be due to iodine deficiency. T3 is responsible for our metabolism so if you have low thyroid (you have hypothirosim) it will be impossbile to lose weigth. I watched many hours of vidoes on youtube with content pertanining to this so I have a minimal knowledge and I was able to troubleshoot my problem. I was puzzled for a while 🙂
IODINE is crucial so don't brush it off. I forgot to mention that I had sever leg/feet cramps at night so I was supplementing megnesium and potassium and ate salt to taste with my meat yet my cramps didn't completly go away until after 2 months supplementing IODINE. Yes , lack of iodine in our diet will also cause cramps.
cheers
Most people are not deficient in iodine...you only need a small amount and you get it from salt
@@nickchristopherson6162 you may want to read the book titled "The iodine crisis" by Lynne Farrow. This book will enlighten you for sure.
Most carnivores don’t eat iodized salt, in my experience. They do Redmonds or Himalayan.
@@w-ranch-oproductions5541 that's right I eat Himalayan salt too.
@beastbombshell3589 eating too little with hypothyroidism can prevent weight loss. Losing weight with hypothyroidism can be complicated unless the hypothyroidism has been adequately and appropriately treated and quite often this is not the case. Current treatment guidelines mean treatment is merely for keeping people alive and not improving quality of life.
Wow two of the most important leaders in Carnivore together, love it! Thanks to both of you!
Thank you!❤
@@patrycja2696 Is this intentionally leaving me out? =O
@@patrycja2696 I dont think ranking is necessary. Everybody is doing their part. These people are literally curing dieseases and conditions that have been labelled "incurable" by the medical system. Every medical provider in this community is a great soul and a true doctor! :) Appreciate the FREE info instead of argue about the "leaderboard"
People who say meat is inflammatory, think again. I have neuropathy in my feet. Since going Ketavore my neuropathy is 80% gone!! I made a mistake and ate a piece of cheesecake one night, HUGE mistake! Next morning my feet hit the floor and all I felt was pins and needles most of day every step I took that day. NEVER AGAIN! I've lost 35 pounds so far, only 2 points to go and I will no longer be pre diabetic, and my triglycerides are down 90 points! I still have a way to go but Holy what a start! Started this WOE in February of this year. 🎉 Will NEVER go back!
I had neuropathy too like you my numbness went away but the pain lingered for 2 years on Carnivore.
I started cold water (59°) baths after just 3 months the pain is completely gone.
If your pain persist you might want to look into cold water exposure.
Plus I’ve started “Earthing” aka grounding… it’s been helping with eliminating inflammation all over my body.
Best wishes, 🙏❤️🩹
Thank you for sharing your story!
Beef is hard to process ,,,,,I won't be eating much of it
If meat was inflamatory, that would mean, that all animals eating animals would suffer inflamation all their lives.
On the other hand...
Our meat we buy is not the same as wild caught meat from animals roam free until they are killed for food!
Our farm animals are inorisoned, living in prisons, eating only what the owners feed them, using antibiotics, growthhormones vaccines, meds. Not much free range and enclosed in their own faeces, eating even their own species. There is so much ingormation right there, to long here to describe all.
I think, we people ate all kind of foods in the wild as nomads!
But now, we are 'industrialized' with all consequenses.
Meat is not the problem in nature, but the 'modern world' it is.
I hope you find the right nutrition working for you and avoid meds, vaccinations, antibiotics and other non healthy foods.
Kind regards.
@@chucalissa9231 It´s actually far easier to digest meat than it is to digest vegetables and grains.
Dr. Berry is the family doctor we all wish we’d had. Thanks for putting this video up, Judy. I’m looking forward to reading through all the papers that came along with the Carnivore Summit 2023 subscription. Great job!!
Agree. I´ve followed many of the carnivore advocates for about 6 years now, and it seems I´ve winnowed it down to getting most of my new info (or great reminders) from Judy Cho and Ken Berry. I´ll still check in with a few other favorites now and then, but more for variety than anything else. These two are solid and so knowledgeable. 👍
Both of you were instrumental in getting me started on my journey! Judy, your book Carnivore Cure helped me to begin.. I did the elimination diet and never looked back. At the same time, Dr Berry's videos were popping up on my feed and I learned so much and am still learning! I thank God for using you both in my life! I lost 187 lbs and am doing wonderfully! Lord bless you!!
WOW!! 187 lbs?! that is AMAZING. Thank you for your support and for having the courage to change your life!❤
🎉🎉🎉187 pounds so proud of you
@@thick-cute Thank you so much! It's possible and I'm so glad!!
@ItalianGoneCarnivore I just started last week, everyone thinks I am crazy until they see the health benefits 🥰
@@NutritionwithJudy Hello Judy may I ask about kidney health.The more meat you eat the more you tax the kidneys and the lower your egfr goes as they have to handle the waste products of protein metabolism, your kidneys are aging and so egfr is going down with age, wont the carnivore diet speed this progression? Thankyou.
I ate a home made lemon scone after 2 years of avoiding wheat, had nocturnal anxiety and insomnia for THREE nights. Scones are NOT worth it.
Used to eat three or four for a snack…my gut microbiome is much healthier now❤my joints do not ache and I can do deep knee bends unassisted and I’m 68 (feeling 18)
Dr Berry taught me the PHD 2 years ago.
I am so blessed to be a follower of these two stellar health educators.
I'm 68 too...the carnivore diet has done wonders for me. Everything has healed.
And lucky it’s worked FOR YOU!Carnivore 100% felt like death to me.
LAMB? I want add to Dr. Berry adding S for Seafood.
L for lamb.
Eating BEEELS!!! SLEEBS!!! BEESEL!!!
😆
I absolutely love both of you so much!
I tell EVERYONE about you guys because you GENUINELY care about people's health, THANK YOU!
Many Aussie will tell you Lamb is essential
Thank you for discussing how nutrition research is done-it has pissed me off for decades, but SO MANY people as well as professionals
Don’t seem to realize it! I’m sure your videos will help!❤
Agreed, it's not ideal science.
BBBE is great, but some people can’t eat eggs. I don’t think they agree with me. Love beef, bacon ❤and butter though!
@@Melh05Try eliminating the egg whites. Many people are sensitive to the egg whites.
Starting my carnivore journey on 07/01/2023.
Wish me luck!
I wish you luck but am wondering why you're waiting.
You got this! Focus one day, one meal at a time!
prepare for the body to go through changes both good and bad 😊
@@JuanSilva-sk5xs I started carnivore before but, like a fool, a stopped. I actually saw positive results. This time I'm all in!
How’s it going I’m considering doing this
2 1/2 year carni/ketovore, as I occasionally have been testing my response to a few locally grown things from my friends gardens, as lemon, avocado, olives... and with a good result. For fun I tried to add some pineapple one day last week. I had one small slice. Never again! My body responded immediately. I won't even touch honey! 😂
Thank you for this talk ❤
How did your body respond to the pineapple?
@@natashas.3119 Like I'd eaten 'a ton' of sugar, is the best way to describe it. My muscles got tight and the body 'jittery', and I used the same method to get rid of it: Out walking a challenging walk for a couple of hours.
The funny thing is, that it can happen I accidentally get a bit of sugar, and my body really don't respond anymore. But this reaction was a memory from the past, when it did...
I have the theory, that when I eat out occasionally and have one or two cherry tomatoes or a piece of avocado, that is grown here, picked straight off the plant, ripened by the sun, I don't respond, but the pineapple wasn't local and has probably been stored a long time? 🤷♀️ I just know, I'm never having that again... 😂
I can't eat pineapple either.
Two of my favorite pro-health heroes in one video❤❤
2 of my most favorite, informed, very caring individuals who really care about their community. Great interview. Well done❤
Thanks Judy for all your hard work on the Carnivore Summit, we have so appreciated everything you have done.
Thank you, Judy, for this interview and also for putting together the Carnivore Summit with your team. I've enjoyed it all so much.❤
Judy and Ken are superheroes!
Love Dr Ken Berry
Iodine is important. However, people confuse Iodine with Iodide. Iodide blocks receptors in your thyroid. This is why it is protective against radiation, however, it also blocks the normal function of your thyroid in the same way Bromides and Chlorides can block your thyroid receptors. Great interview with Dr. Berry
Fantastic interview that perfectly consolidates almost all of the medical insights I’ve gained and directly experienced after a year of being a full carnivore. I’ve strictly followed pure paleo common sense and the studious scientific insights of REAL medical professionals like Dr. Berry, Dr. Paul Mason, Robert Lustig, Siegfried’s cancer research, and a whole host of other board certified medically trained professionals, along with qualified nutritionist like yourself, Judy. I must say that you are my favorite nutritionist in TH-cam. Because you are mindful, professional, well spoken, and not “myopic” with the scientific findings that you share. You have the balance I seek in anyone providing data, experience, and research on these matters.
After a year of clean eating, mental clarity, consistent energy, strong health and vitality, I’m a living example of how life changing one’s life can be when you eliminate oxalate and plant toxins and actually enjoy eating what Dr. Berry calls, “the Proper Human Diet.”
I’ve also subscribed to, tried-out, and entertained the recommendations by the likes of (psychologist doctor) Paul Saladino and the “putting clothes on your sugars and carbs” approach that Glucose Goddess has made popular among those who don’t want to budge from their addiction to the indoctrinated modern food culture. But my anatomy rejected that fructose and veg approach, which immediately brought back inflammation, brain fog, and other issues I’ve experienced my whole life in the past. I have no issues now rejecting and/or politely turning down offers to eat that old poison diet at gatherings and whatnot.
I follow the undeniable, Paleo historical facts and science. THAT is what dictates what I put into body as to what is the most optimal, fat and ketone-rich foods that the human body requires. As long as I don’t stray from that, my health, microbiome, consistent energy levels, and sense of well-being stays in perfect alignment.
Thanks for all you do, Judy.
Listen to your body, people! It’s crying out for your help to feed it the right food!!
👊😎
👍 💯
You're both doing great work and are helping me to stay healthy. Thank you.

*I Eat Meat & then I OnLy Shit BLoody Rocks every 4-Days!!!*
I buy fish a couple of times a week, always fresh but one day the supermarket didn't have what I needed I bought frozen, crumbed fish for a change. After I got it home I read the instructions and the stuff that had been added to the crumbs. A list I couldn't believe, but what really caught my eye was this.
"For human consumption only" Not to be used for bait or fish.
If it's breaded, nobody should be eating that
@@Livetoeat171 My point was, "is was considered edible for people but not good enough for animals."
I stopped buying fish because of fish farmers. It's very difficult to separate real from fake. Fishing is the only way one can be sure one is eating wild caught.
The 2023 Carnivore Summit was absolutely phenomenal...great job NwJ team 🎉👏❤️
I have honey in my pantry. I didn't use it much even before going carnivore. Honey has no expiration date. I keep it for "just in case" because it can be used for medicinal purposes, if necessary. It's very good for wounds.
Dr Rick Johnson is an expert and says whole natural fruit as Paul eats it is fine and healthy. Honey raw honey as Paul eats it is fine if you're not diabetic. Dr Berry is obviously scared of it but you can eat it.
@@jeffrey4577 You can eat anything you want. He's not saying you can't eat it. It's more an individual thing. I never ate a lot of honey to begin with, but I have always had it on hand.
I have all kinds of honey in my cupboard, but since I no longer can have it on buttered toast or English muffins, it’s just a generous spoonful in my tea when I am sick, or in winter. More a medicine than a food. If I try to eat it as a separate food, it makes my teeth hurt!
I’ve only been on meat-based low carb for 6 weeks or so. If, NEXT October, I have lost enough weight, I might just go off the rails and bake a batch of lebkuchen (a kind of German Christmas cookie, name means honey cakes). Once they’re gone, you’re done for another year!
Great interview with Dr Berry, and I loved your explanation and confirmation of the BBBE nutrients being balanced enough for me to consider trying it. New subscriber here!
Thank you. I appreciate both of you.
Well I switched cold turkey to carnivore, honey moon for 3 weeks, then bedridden for 5 weeks, just eating the same things. Thanks God I came across Sally K Norton. I am severely poisoned with oxalates. Going cold turkey can be life-threatening, if you don't have the info. Paul Salidino may help himself with fruits to manage his oxalates dumpings....
Seems to be a very personal thing and not everybody has oxalate dumping. I was having a spinach shake every single day plus spinach, salads, and lots of beans, and a whole bunch of vegetables that were high in oxalates and yet when I started the carnivore diet, I didn't notice anything different in my stomach or bowels or how I felt about anything.
Had to add some fruit and raw honey and cruciferous vegetables. I felt like SHIT on carnivore….NOT everyone responds to the same way of eating.
Such a pleasure listening to you both. Thank you for spreading good health ❤🇦🇺
Thank you Judy for Carnivore Summit! I love Dr Berry.
Good to see both of you collaborating again. Waiting on the carniverrie!
I have hereditary angioedema and my immunologist said she doesn't know what is causing it. I have done all the tests to find out what is it I am allergic to. I am so fed up of this problem.. I am going to try this carnivore diet to see what will happen...
Others have pointed out that Saladino was eating far too little protein and/or too little fat, especially for his high level of physical activity. Others think his nutrient levels were off from excessive consumption of organ meats. Of course, all of these theories could be right as contributing factors.
He's also very lean. No one mentions that. Try having a higher activity level with low fat stores and then add in chronic under eating lol. Not sustainable. I think he simply wasn't eating enough. Just my observation.
Fantastic!
Commercial honey often has high fructose corn syrup added; only honey from an honest beekeeper is pure.
Thank-you for this!!
Hi Judy, I started the carnivore diet 10 months ago and now they found a mass in my right breast. I've always been very aware of being healthy and have wanted to do all I can to never get cancer and done all the preventative things possible. When I found carnivore it made perfect sense to do cancer by keeping the body in ketosis. So when they found this in my breast I'm now shocked and scared. Are there any testimonies of women who are carnivore with breast cancer issues? I need some direction and encouragement. Thanks
🙏
Get another test. Sometimes they are faulty.
Maybe your body is reacting to beef? Some are.
Get a.personal session with one of these experts.
Maybe up your fat too?
Iodine, mushrooms etc.
Oh, no. My friend is going through this right now. Did you get the Covid vax? Dr. Ryan Cole has reported on "turbo cancers" appearing like never before. Keto and carnivore are the best diets for cancer. Cancer cells LOVE sugar. Dr. Boz on TH-cam helped her mother through cancer relying on a keto diet. I imagine carnivore is even better. I no longer trust doctors after what we went through with Covid. They just seem to be Big Pharma reps. CDC and the FDA are obviously corrupt. Functional medicine is the way to go. I send you my best wishes. Pray to be led to a good cancer doctor. I know God watches over us. He will help you. Be positive! That is essential to kicking cancer.
*Janes; Wut are you NOW Doing???*
Iodine def is a big factor for breast cancer. there is tons of research on this, google breast cancer and iodine
Thank you both!
Great discussion-informative and motivating.
I’m six months carnivore, I learn new things everyday!!
THANK YOU THANK YOU!!
Thank you Judy! Dr. Berry's and Dr. Bikman's were my favorites. You are an excellent interviewer!
Great interview with those two titans. Love it❤
Love Dr Berry, love Judy.
I have, over the last 50 years, been reading on the subject of ancestral diet and using evolutionary principles as a measure of how far we have deviated since the Neolithic transition.
But in the carnivore world, I think there is a risk of throwing the baby out with the bath-water.
There are some critical questions/issues which need to be addressed:
Firstly, the stable isotope analysis certainly shows a preponderance of animal food sources. It also shows that there was a non-negligible proportion (say around 20%} or plant material. Dental plaque analysis shows evidence in some paleolithic sites, of mushrooms being a significant source of nourishment. Other evidence shows extensive seasonal consumption of acorn product.
So, the question is, to what extent did Paleolithic diet include small amount of plant matter, which may have had a disproportionate metabolic effect, necessary to make the animal sourced food operate effectively.
Secondly (and there may be a simple answer) - did the stable isotope analysis tell us what food sources feed both the body and the microbiome?
Thirdly, the animal products consumed, particularly the ruminants, were presumably feeding on a vastly different diet, much richer in phyto nutrients, and polyphenols. Does modern meat provide the same plant based nutrients?
Fourthly, did our Paleolithic ancestors have so many other lifestyle differences that made a largely meat based diet healthy, in ways which are not replicated today - going to bed with the sun, different exercise patters, different breathing patterns, acute v chronic stress.Dissolved magnesium is absent from our water, and fluoride is present.
Fifthly our Paleolithic ancestors ate seasonally. Some foods came at great cost - such as honey. There is no doubt that honey was consumed ancestrally - very occasionally This can dramatically alter the health impact.
Sixthly, evolutionary principles are complex. Simple Darwinian survival may tell us that a meat based diet is optimal for fitness and reproduction in adulthood. It does not inform on living into very old age. Secondarily, epigenetic principles further complicate the picture as epigenetic changes can be very fast and have multi-generational effects.
I raise these questions, not to undermine the importance of animal products as critical to proper human diet, but to bullet-proof a proper view of what ancestral diet was, and how that should inform modern performance.
And thank you for your informative offerings.
Both these people have zero credentials in anything, no awards or honors in physics, biology, anthropology, geography, ecology, chemistry, horticulture, zoology, mineralogy, oceanography, limnology, agriculture, archaeology of humans, soil science, geology, veterinary science, hydrology, cardiology, nutrition science, ethics or how the ecosystem works. The 230 pound guy has a few disciplinary actions against him.
In his book on page 103 he says nuts and seeds are very healthy, the nutrients and fiber are great. Page 187 says I eat many servings of colorful veggies everyday. Page 192 says there are many days each week I eat no fiber at all. Page 205 says I often go days without eating anything but fatty meat. The guy can't think straight because he eats a bunch of garbage. No references in the book because he knows nothing.
@@Jeffs60 They clearly have good credentials, why stick this reply on the comment which I made, which was not a partisan position, but seeking feedback on potentially live issues in this area
@@Marshadow69 They both have zero credentials in the topic which they are discussing which is why what they are talking about is also accredited by nothing.
In a much more generic way, I said the same thing. What Berry "knows" about our ancestral diet is based on very old data. The last 10-20 years has made amazing discoveries on new, lost ancient civilizations and their dietary staples which often included heavy agriculture.
"Cells, tissues, and organs" aren't the only targets of fructose glycation. Fructose glycation can occur to LDL cholesterol, it will break down the LDL particle size from pattern A to pattern B, just as glucose from other carbohydrates. Individuals with pattern A are more likely to have normal blood levels of LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and triglycerides. Pattern A is usually not associated with an increased likelihood of atherosclerosis. Persons with LDL cholesterol pattern B have increased small and dense LDL cholesterol particles. Glycation, and oxidation from seed oils, act to take cholesterol from pattern A to pattern B. As I understand it.
Wonderful - Thank you Both!
Was just getting ready to watch this interview on the carnivore summit. Such great info, thanks Judy for getting this out as well as the whole summit!
Love all the info, great video!!
Loved this! Thank you @judy & @dr Berry

Love that you guys collaborated ! I watched both of your video
Amazing stuff! Thanks for sharing.
Yay...thank you Judy for posting this great interview. I missed this one during the Carnivore Summit, which was also excellent!!!!!!!!!!❤
Wow! 2 of my favorite carnivore people!! Keto for 3 years ...switched to carnivore 2 months ago,doing great...down 65 lbs ...but my iron is still low...what can I do? Thank you!❤
If iron is low, consider 3 main reasons we see it low in our practice: H.Pylori, parasites or low molybdenum
Gotta love a Doctor that helps you to get around labs, but especially a Doctor who tells you how to get around the MEDICAL CODES to get it paid by the Insurance. 😂😂😂 Absolutely love what this man has done for people.
Love this information. Thank you guys.
Love this! You two are so great I could listen for hours!!!
Well, I am 77 and I will participate in the study , but only if I can be in the BBBE group! I already went vegetarian for a year and ended up anemic and then continued to have more health problems after I switched back to a 'normal' healthy diet. No way would I go without meat! Would you believe my endocrinologist told me to stop taking my iodine as it was too high!
Judy and Dr Berry, Thank you for always putting out great information to help myself and others change their lives.
*I Eat Meat & then I OnLy Shit BLoody Rocks every 4-Days!!!*
The reason l eat a few berries with teaspoonful of organic honey with fage greek yoghourt . Is because it tastes flippin lovely xx
So are cakes, pies, pasta salad, bananas, etc.
thank you very much for this video!
Thank you Judy and Dr Ken! I am learning all the time and am currently reading Lies My Doctor Told Me. You guys are awesome! I’m starting carnivore but slight veggies like onion, green pepper , mushrooms on ribeye.
Judy, I love how you've subtly chuckled asking certain questions, haha ❤
Great interview!
Great information!
Always love a Dr Berry interview!
Since on carnivore I got the second time terrible cold after I stopped supplementing of the vitamin C. The second time I got the cold this week during hot summer days. I did not have cold more than 25 years even I forgot what is cold ... I do not understand ... For me is only the one explanation = lack of the vitamin C. To get twice the cold within 4 months after stopping of supplementation of the vitamin C can not be coincidence...
If you want to conduct a study I would be happy to participate.
I use Lugols Iodine solution, add it to food.
27:15 dr chaffe also mentioned it could be from too much organ meat too and many other issues that could have contributed
I'm caught between a rock and a hard place. After over a year and a half keto, and seven months mostly carnivore, I'm still dealing with bouts of twitches and leg cramps and crazy tiredness. I've experimented with modulating the fat between 66-80%, raising and lowering protein, and all the usual one-size-fits-all advice that people give. Constipation also comes and goes. I also have a generous amount of Redmond's salt, and take trace minerals (which often make it worse and make me pee alot). After waking up screaming a few nights ago with legs locked up, I decided that, screw it all, this is clearly not working, and I am meant to have more carbs. So I've been having some fruit and starches the last few days (no more than 100 total grams of carbs) and my energy and cramping have definitely improved. But today I could feel my joints and my gut in a quite unpleasant way. So I can have either high energy with no twitches and cramping but with painful digestion and inflammation on one hand, or I can have low energy with twitches and cramps, but smoother digestion and no inflammation on the other. Maybe I'll just alternate. Anyway, the dogma is definitely not working for me, but neither is the alternative.
Have you thought of supplementing with exogenous ketones or exogenous ATP? Those are two main sources of energy besides glucose that for various reasons your body might be struggling to produce.
@@MarmaladeINFP Actually, yes, I was recently considering taking MCT oil, but am hesitant because it doesn't seem like that would encourage my body to produce its own ketones, but rather a band-aid. Have never heard of the other thing you mentioned.
Do you have a history of consuming large amounts of Vitamin A (either retinol or carotenoids), using pharmaceuticals containing retinoids (e.g. Accutane, isotretinoin), or consuming large amounts of oxalates? I've struggled with incessant twitching and cramping around my entire body for years after doing a strict carnivore diet, and I suspect it is related to a history of Vitamin A toxicity and/or oxalate toxicity. Eating carbs helps my situation a little but definitely does not stop the twitching and cramping. Another possibility that has some overlap with those toxicities is a problem with your cell membranes related to a deficiency in choline, phospholipids, and/or essential fatty acids.
Here's a list of things to look into:
Electrolyte deficiency
Choline deficiency
Fatty Acid Deficiency
Thiamine Deficiency
Taurine Deficiency
Other nutrient deficiencies that prevent energy production
Heavy Metal Toxicity
Hypoxia
Also, you said you're "mostly carnivore". If you're still drinking coffee, that might be contributing. I've seen some videos of people saying their benign fasciculation syndrome (incessant muscle twitching) diminished or stopped entirely after dropping coffee/caffeine.
Have you tried supplementing magnesium? Try different types of magnesium to see what helps
@@StraightMobbinAK No to the Vitamin A and pharmaceuticals. Oxalates, hard to say. I wouldn't know. A few months ago I had some blood work which revealed a slightly elevated homocysteine, which could be related. Since then I've been taking a B supplement with choline, NAC, and trimethylglycine. I've noticed coffee exacerbate the problem, but I've also seen it happen regardless. I went to one meal a day three or four months ago and didn't have any problems for a while. It seemed to help. But over the past month the excellent OMAD routine stopped working and I ground to a halt. Maybe I wasn't getting enough nutrition and it took a while to manifest. Now I'm thinking more about Donald Layman's advice to split up daily protein into multiple meals to activate muscle protein synthesis. I don't know what's what anymore.
But the single biggest suspect, I think, is poor absorption from poor digestion. I have a history of South American food poisoning incidents followed by IBS, and alternating periods of diarrhea and constipation. I definitely noticed with a recent round of this that the twitches and cramps seemed to come with it.
But now that I'm thinking about it some more, the first time I remember having crazy twitches was twelve years ago when I came off of a seven-year round of antidepressants and eight months of Aderol. Actually, that was when I learned that term you used: Bening Fasciculation Syndrome (though I disagee with calling it "benign").
Other than all that, I have a history of fatigue and depression ( which is really just the emotional manifestation of fatigue) as well as late-night bingeing on carb-heavy foods. Maybe my system is too damaged to handle ketosis very well, I don't know.
What's weird though, is that, even though I feel like I'm in an energy slump all week, as soon as the weekend comes I'll get on the hiking trail and have limitless energy once I start moving--to the point of passing everyone on the trail up the mountain. It always amazes me how it just seems to come out of nowhere, after struggling all week. It's like I need a threshold level of exercise to break through the fatigue. Unfortunately, the workweek--as strenuous as it is--does not give me the crazy aerobic push that I need to break through.
thank u
I’m avoiding seed oils refined sugars refined carbs and sedentary life style. I’m confident this is the reason why most people are sick today plus It seems that before the induction of these toxins people were healthy for the most part which tells me that fruit and vegetables/starchy veg is not the problem. I understand that we are all different but I think most of the populous is ok to eat real food no matter what it is. I would add that eating at restaurants is a death sentence.
Given the importance of iodine and the inefficacy of iodized salt , it would be nice to have a recommendation on the level of iodine consumption per day. I believe the RDA was set back in the 1930s to avoid goiter, but is obviously not the ideal level.
I would contribute to crowd source funding for a study about a meat based diet. I think that’s a great idea!
So, is supplementary iodine with Lugal’s a good source of absorbable iodine.
And, how to handle daily massive diarrhea issues with autoimmune progressive systemic sclerosis with the GI tract extremely altered?
Fantastic content, thank you.
Amazing content 👏 Dr Ken Berry knowledgeable ❤
Thank you both, always a pleasure to listen to you!❤ I pnce read a book abput taking high dosis of iodine to fight breastcancer. Cannot remember the author. I was taking the high dosis iodine only to experience in menopause and it made me feel a kind of happy. But I quit because of my fear to put in danger my thyroid. Has Dr.Berry any recommendation abput how much iodine we should use? I have Lugol solution, 1 drop 6 mg.
Dr Bright says two drops a day. More than that and it just doesn’t get used and is wasted
Sign me up man ! I'll do it complimentary
I've spent 10 years in the health and wellness industry. I would love to contribute to the cause
Hey Dr Berry ❤
So quick question: If the glycation tests are "blind" to fructose's glycation, exactly how is the glycation of fructose measured to then be determined as more glycating than glucose?
Fruit has sugar or fructose As well as honey, being glucose, pure sugar. They both do the same thing in the body, but honey just does it faster than fruit. Very inflammatory to eat sugar or the likes of it.
I tried carnivore for the 2nd time and both times I was not able to balance my electrolytes. The muscle cramps were debilitating and I take magnesium. The second time I actually gained weight!!
At this time I have re-introduced honey, bananas, pineapple, strawberries and watermelon. The 2nd time I started carnivore I ate only beef, butter and salt/LMNT.
Probably have a history of high oxalates in your diet. As they are released on carnivore they bond with electrolytes and carry them out of the body. Cramps are pretty much the indicator of how your body handles oxalates.
You may be right! No matter, I still have to get up and go to work, and I am on my feet on a concrete floor eight hours a day, five days a week. What I may try to do is alternate in an out of carnivore for a while, or find a Happy balance of a few carbs. I believe the fruits I’m eating on are low oxalate.
Wow, as I was reading all the things you added into your diet those fruits are the highest concentration of sugars in all the other fruits. Sugar is bad for your body, so why would you add that many and that much to the diet that you're supposed to be eliminating all sugars and all carbs?
@@Livetoeat171 I’m not on carnivore anymore, so I’m not eliminating, just slowly adding things back in. ie; fruits, roots, honey and yogurt-and of course, meat, cheese and eggs
@@debbiedenker8976I have a theory that the sneaky subconscious programmed mind that is addictited to sweet (fructose) causes these bodily issues so you don't continue the healthy carnivore diet. It's that tricky and clever.
How much Iodine if you've had a thyroidectomy? I have about 1/3 left and it's still working. I do wish someone would address dosage if there are as many deficiencies as they claim.
2% Lugols Iodine, I put 2 drops NOT DROPPERS!! 2 DROPS in my coffee every morning.
Thanks Judy and Dr. Berry. Why don't we take 50 homeless people from San Francisco and NYC, put them on an all meat diet for 60 days-closely monitored and see what happens? Can anybody guess what the results will be?
I would definitely contribute to a crowd sourced campaign to fund a trial into carnivore to end the objections from vegans once and for all.
Been subbed to Dr Berry for many years. Bought his book when it first came out. Only thing I disagreed on was that I drink raw milk and he was against milk at the time. Still drink the milk and think he has moderated his views on dairy since then. Anyway - don't believe everything all those who post on youtube - for example, Saladino's 200-400g of carbs seems crazy.
Since a glucometer only measures the glucose (and not fructose) in your blood, would we need to get testing on the liver to see if there is fat accumulation due to fructose consumption?
I’m currently strict carnivore but would eventually like to enjoy low glycemic fruits in moderation after I heal myself.

For me, BBB&E has always included S.
YES! S is so important!
I feel better with high fat carnivore, but I have a hard time sleeping. I drink magnesium and salt my food and water, but still didn’t help my sleep. I’ve been doing this for around 3 months.
I notice I sleep better when I add some fruit and honey. Help.
Me too, which is why I always end up eating some carbs. And I am around three months into is as well… perhaps there is still healing or detoxing going on in the background
I also struggle with sleep on carnivore and leg cramps and I also take all the proper supplements as well as iodine. When I eat some healthy carbs I instantly sleep better on the days I do. Makes me wonder if it’s for every body type to be a strict carnivore.
@@Livetoeat171 huh?

Is it okay to add a few drops of Lugol's 2% to bone broth or similar?
My uric acid measurement has risen on my last blood test. I was 8 days into the carnivore diet. It was 9.0. It says red meat can cause it. Maybe because I was so new into it?
What is the difference between sodium iodine and potassium iodine
I have a serious question…on a carnivore diet, eating several strips of bacon for breakfast, lunch, and dinner with very fatty red meat for someone who is type 2 diabetic unhealthy? In the past, I ate anything my heart desired which led to 2 heart attacks 12 years apart, now I’m on a carnivore diet and I’m eating a lot of red meat and a lot of bacon, no carbs and no sugar. So, given my history, is eating too much greasy meat unhealthy?
I went keto and helped my anxiety, it's almost completely gone. I'm considering trying carnivore for a while for the dermatitis on my hands. Something is causing inflammation (lips too, maybe nightshades?) One question though, I absolutely love eating butter off the spoon, but in the back of my mind is a voice always saying "your diet will be too rich with all these fats" etc...is this just conditioning or could I really make my diet too rich? I cook with fat from slow cooked oxtail or fried bacon, I put double cream or butter in coffee, and as I said I eat some butter off a spoon for dessert. It feels so decadent and is it a little much?
Does anyone know what anthropology that Berry is referencing regarding ancestral diets?

Hi, Judy! There are many iodine supplements on the market now a days and I'm wondering if there are any strengths or brand names to look for. I've been on carnivore for the last year and recently went full beef, butter, eggs and beef liver (it's hard to find bacon here lol). Any help is appreciated, thanks ya!
