At work, I have a coworker who is vegan and always preaching on healthy eating. I told her that I am on Keto/carnivore, and she said that was unhealthy. I look at her with sadness, because she has frizzy dry falling grey hair, wrinkled/dry skin, diabetic, asthmatic and obese! She cannot even squat or go up a flight of stairs without huffing and puffing. The worst part of this is that she's always on a diet while I never been on any diet, yet I am sharp, I have more energy, age>51 perfect blood work, perfect vision.
I went from plant-based (couldn't digest animal - based for a while) to mainly consuming eggs, meat and raw dairy and at 46 yo my vision is almost back to where it was before hitting my mid-forties.
Go vegan can be good for a period of time to especific person , its a dificult diet but can work well , i eat wild fish , organic eggs , sometimes grass feed chiken or turkey ,raw veggies , avocado , pistachos ,pecans, olives and coconut oil and species , vitamis , bpa free watter , i look so young , and i m very muscular
I fell completely in love with Mary Ruddick when she said: "I will look into that and I'll get back to you...". That's the compassion and curiosity a true scientist shows about gathering accurate data in a humble way. What an interesting and kind person she is. I think I unconsciously smiled the whole interview because she seems so nice. This was a truly interesting conversation to listen to. Thank you both for providing such important informations!
Hildi321: Agreed! My grandfather always told us, "Never answer: 'I don't know' - say instead: 'I'm not sure but I'll get back to you after I find out'."
There is a fascinating book called “Nutrition and Physical Degeneration” by Dr. Weston A Price. He traveled the world in the early 1900’s to study indigenous people and documenting the devastating health consequences of deviating from their traditional diets, especially from going from meat-based diets to a carbohydrate based diet.
Great book-everyone should read it. It was still in print in 2000, but the publishing company who had the rights went out of business. I know; I worked for them.
When Mary talked about not eating meat with bones until she was out of teens, reminds of a funny story we often talk about - when my son was about 6 years old he had a friend over and I asked if he wanted to join us for dinner and he said yes. I was making a whole cut up chicken asian style and when I served it to him he said - this isn't chicken and I said yes for sure it's chicken and he said no it's not - chicken don't have bones! I discovered he'd only ever had chicken nuggets for "chicken"!
But did he like it? Reminds me of growing up, I only had veggies like asparagus out of a can until I was an adult. Same with cranberry sauce at Thanksgiving. What parents feed kids out of laziness or lack of interest in cooking is so pathetic.
@@mariel9073 yes he did and when he became a teenager he really branched out in eating while real foods and he and my son became excellent cooks of many cuisines. Just makes me smile. Another funny note - this boys mother once said to me, when I wouldn’t let my son go with her to McDonald’s, “What do you eat?”?😂
Macorroni and cheese with chocolate milk. I left my fiancé a highly paid nurse for feeding her kid shit food and not addressing why her son threw up several times daily while saying he was OK. He won’t eat meat Cwaig!
she’s not a doctor or a scientist - she has zero credential and credibility to be trying to act as an expert - she’s not a trained journalist - she’s like a fan girl going into these places and looking with very basic public eyes at people she happened to meet. that’s not science and blue zone was drafted with interviews by experts and highest leaders in those communities. she’s not even a journalist and it was very obvious with her “reporting” 😂 also loma lind blue zone are defined by eating vegetarian as a guideline
Is it just me?, but besides falling in love with Mary I thought this was just a fantastic interview so full of information that I need to watch it a few times. As a carnivore of 2.5yrs you’ve answered so many of my questions about ancestral diets. Shared far and wide!
The other day I was thinking about growing up in the 70s/80s and how we would be outside all day and we never took drinks with us or worried about what we were going to drink. When we got near a water hose, we'd take a few drinks and go back to playing. It just wasn't an issue. Not sure why I now feel like I have to have a drink with me at all times everywhere I go, but I need to work on breaking that habit.
This, exactly! My Cardiologist told me to drink 64oz water every day so I would stay hydrated and my blood pressure would stabilize. I've stopped coffee and switched to drinking electrolyte water. But now I'm questioning everything. 🤔
I always do because I'm actually, definitely thirsty, and no, I'm not diabetic but I do have Mast Cell Hist syndrome thing my Dr. thinks/autoimmune type troubles my whole life. Anyway, here in ruralish western WI most people still don't worry about drinking the supposed ideal amount, and if they take a water bottle along it's usually only when they'll be away from home awhile, or could end up being so. For ex. even at work, it's not like newer built places necessarily have bubblers ( drinking fountains) being put in, it seems, and in many older buildings, they don't always work or work well, plus that's city water which a lot of want to avoid, esp. using a lot anyway. So, in defense of more and more people taking water bottles, overall IMO/observations, it's for good reasons or is a good thing - people trying to turn to water instead or grabbing a soda or extra coffee... drinking water between meals and realizing they weren't hungry at all, just thirsty ( some people not used to drinking much water ever, are really helped by this). Also I think anyone who eats much sugar, refined foods or much whole grains, too, or works outdoors actively or in windy conditions ( by fans) inside, sweats much or breaths open mouthed more than they even realize, probably IS needing plenty of water. Just my thoughts so far.
I see people with these big water bottles sipping on them all throughout the day. It's ridiculous. When I'm thirsty I drink water until I'm not thirsty. Then I'll drink another cup or so. My body is smart and knows what to do with it. Sipping all throughout the day isn't what my body is designed for and in my opinion confuses my smart body and makes it think there must be a limited supply of water so I need to keep it in store. I didn't know if any of this is true but I'm happily not carrying around 64 oz water all day ready to draw like a six-shooter.
@@blakebunch4485 Yes. I've read to Stop at Pause. Notice when a baby pauses and pushes away when doing anything...eating, drinking, doing, focusing...that is their body saying enough. Could you say we force fed them to eat and drink on schedule for our convenience and now we do it to ourselves and society approves and affirms this forcefullness...
I have been freed of so many myths since beginning carnivore! Freedom from fruits, from copious amounts of veggies, not being thirsty but being told I'm NEVER "hydrating" enough...there's so much more. Love this video! Thank you 👍
@@Ulster2 I know I drink less now that my glucose/insulin is lower. The body tries to flush out the toxic glucose when it doesn’t need anymore. It has to go through the kidneys unfortunately which damages them too. High glucose damages every system in your body. I used to drink 3/4 gallon (96oz or ~3 liters). Now I’m good on 32 ozs). Hydration is not really about water. It’s about getting electrolytes with your needed water. Excess water just flushes those away.
In theee days it will be four months I've eaten carnivore. I've reversed fatty liver, diabetes, diverticulitis and many other ailments, I've lost over thirty pounds. I feel like a new person. This is such an important video. Wonderful guest! We are all lied to terribly. They want us literally sick and dying. Thank you dr Berry!
I’ve been following her for about 5 years and worked with her team. She’s very busy with her studies and travel and doesn’t promote or do lots of interviews. She is amazing and filled with so much knowledge and compassion. Even more that could imagine. She is a shining light in this world to be honest.
This is a great interview. However, I keep hearing so many different stories about food and what to eat and what not to eat, and it gets so confusing to the point I wish I no longer needed to eat. I think we are all just winging everything in hope that what we are doing is right in the long run. More and more, I believe in eating a balanced diet consisting of a little bit of everything, making sure your food is coming from good sources, and making sure you do not over eat. Stay active, get outside, and all that good stuff! I think we are all doing the best we can with the ton of conflicting information out here. Most importantly, listen to your body. It is always talking.
My grandmother (a butchers daughter) always made Brawn from brains, I remember a whole animal brain, (sheep?) soaking in salt water in her large ceramic mixing bowl in the kitchen. It looked revolting, but apparently tasted great, although I never tried it. She also cooked ox tongue and sliced it cold to make sandwiches, after first peeling away the thick outer layer of taste buds, I do remember my own mum in the 1950s frequently cooking pigs trotters (feet) in jelly and she used dad’s razor 😅 to shave off the tougher hairs on the leg part. We also ate steak and kidney, made with suet (beef lard) lambs liver and bacon, and stuffed lambs or beef hearts and of course ox tail soup and seafood for Sunday tea of ; jellied eels, cockles, welks and muscles, skate (fish) in parsley sauce. Marrow bones (beef) were fed to our dogs raw and they loved them.
Very like my upbringing in the north-east of England. We didn't eat brains which have very flavour but we didn't enjoy the pasty text. I still cook most of these things
My mother and I were allowed to share a special treat when we stayed as guests at a working beef ranch in the rockies in Colorado: stuffed veal heart. A big man’s fist-sized heart, stuffed with regular bread dressing with onions, celery, and poultry seasoning. There might have been an egg in it, but I did not ask. It was baked in the oven until done, then sliced. Between the two of us, we ate the whole thing. This was the offspring of their single dairy cow, who gave milk and butter for the rancher and family and cowboys. You can’t buy the like, because calves are never processed that young. It was one of the most delicious dishes I ever had in my life. We ate it with no hesitation, since we had many times enjoyed our family recipe for rinderwurst (German for beef sausage). It was and is made from pot roast and calf’s heart, stewed in water, cut up, and ground, and mixed with steel-cut oatmeal cooked in the cooking liquid from the meats. You make a lot and freeze part of it. You have to put a piece of beef suet in each package. You render the piece of suet in a cast-iron pan and-leaving it in the pan, fry a pound or so of it. You have to fry till crispy, keep turning it until brown. If there is any left, store in fridge along with what’s left from the fat piece. You can render that out to reheat the remnant. This is my family recipe and it never included liver or anything else and only was seasoned with salt and pepper. It’s the best breakfast ever! Mother’s grandfather started a meat market after the government used imminent domain to take the family homestead for a military base. All the siblings got enough to start a business. As a small child I lived over the market for 3-4 years.
What a great interview! That really put a button on the Blue Zone nonsense. Mary's terrific. She's living evidence of the benefits of these diets. As are you, Ken.
I live in the Okinawa blue zone and am an Okinawan health and plant specialist. I am the only one around besides my sensei. Dr. Makoto Suzuki. I would love to get the truth out about blue zones, the Okinawa one specifically. The netflix documentary very SLYLY edited footage to warp the concepts.
Dan Butner admitted that he filtered out blue zones that ate meat and didn't show meat in the films because he knew meat was bad and didn't want to confuse people.
Also BTW, I read the Okinawa might not actually be a blue zone anyway. Many people died during WWII but the Japanese government didn't record it so on paper the data might show that there still alive and over 100.
I grew up with eating all sheep meat and organs loved brains are not easy in the city to get most today say what ! As that diet has gone and so only seem to be the cultures that have come to Australia. Am starting carnivor but not fully yet am getting ready to have a cook up when temp below 40C ++ am feeling better from lot pain to half.
About the drinking water... my eyes were open when many years ago I watched a documentary about some nomadic tribes. The camera crew was following them through the deserts in Northern Africa. One guy in the tribe was explaining that they go for very long periods of times (I think it was longer than a week)without water and when they do get to water, they drink very little. He said it's so they can maintain their ability to go for a long time without water. Those people were very healthy. later I couldn't help but notice that many people have gone more than a week without water in survival situations and have not died or had lasting effects. There is a show called "I shouldn't be alive" and they are all true stories. So so much we're told about how much water we need is just a flat out lie. I drink a lot of water because my health isn't right but i'm never quenched.
Wow, just wow. Since I started my Carnivore journey I've seen so many Dietary Sacred Cows blown away - but this intelligent and engaging woman blew away a few more ( especially water and blood ) It's just so good to have someone who has gone out and actually lived with different communities. That is a life well led and I thank you.
Great interview, with a great guest, doc. I love to listen to interviews with Mary Ruddick, she has gathered a world of knowledge visiting the Blue Zones.
I've been following Dr. Berry for 5 years now and have many many many favorite videos , but this one just moved to the top of the list. Riveting.. plus, I'm in love now . 😍😁
😮😊 Love it, I had blood wurst from a German farmer, it's great! I can't get anyone to eat liver , not friends or family. Brains taste like scrambled eggs!
Io sono Sardo ,e sono carnivoro ,dieta del leone nello specifico ,,che in Sardegna siano vegetariani è la più grande bugia mai sentita,,tutti i piatti tipici della mia terra sono a base animale ,,tutta la storia della Sardegna e basata di allevamento e pastorizia ,,la Sardegna è la più carnivora di tutte ,,Grazie ❤️💪🏻🔥
Facinating going to have to listen again as its so packed with info. As a Scottish person we black pudding which is made with blood and haggis and white pudding which use nose to tail ingredients lovely!
Mary is incredibly delightful and a rare presence in front of the camera, my god how she makes me smile just watching and listening to her. Thank you Doc for having her on, what a unique profession she inhabits. Only negative is sometimes she quickly swallows the ends of her words so I miss it if its a medical condition or any medical terminology. Slow Down.
I grew up on a farm and every time we slaughtered a bull, we enjoyed beef brain and scrambled eggs for a week or two. No wonder I was the Grade Champion Speller throughout my elementary school years.
@@barbarafairbanks4578 re-read as you missed eating beef brain. The beef brain came from the slaughtered bull. The eggs came from the chickens on the farm.
@@misterbd9641 no, I didn't misread or miss anything. But! What I did read (in this comments' section) after reading your comment re beef brain;scrambled eggs... Someone else wrote here that beef brain tastes like scrambled eggs. So...I thought, Oh! That's what their comment (yours) was about, that the scrambled eggs you referred to was beef brain.😳 But now here you are stating that the scrambled eggs you referred to were actually hen eggs, from the farm. ...and if so, then why leave that out of your comment? (Yah, I get that it was an 'assumed' meaning on your part.) But the way I inferred what you wrote was, After slaughtering the bull your family had plenty beef and beef brain AND scrambled eggs. (which, to my comprehension meant that...scrambled eggs were readily available AFTER slaughtering the bull (but not prior). JMO...(that's the way I read it, and it struck me funny)😅 As an aside, when I was a kid my father used to cook beef brain AND tongue. My sister, mother, and I were so grossed out by this that we would rather starve than touch it! (which, btw, I think now, that was his plan all along. He knew we wouldn't touch it and he'd have it all to himself. He was a stingy man (sorry to say) and was stingy with food too☹️ He used to count all the cans of food in the pantry 🧐 and would get furious if something was missing, bc that meant my sister or I ate it, without permission. He was an alcoholic who would sit in the living room, reading and drinking 🍺. Because he was also lazy, he would send one of us to fetch him a beer from the fridge. To get back at him for his stingy ways, we would always shake the can of beer before we gave it to him🤣. You can imagine his fury when every time we brought him a beer it would invariably 💥Explode!💥 when he popped the top💥🌊💧💧💧 (Just a weird but funny memory from my childhood that came to mind with the subject of beef brains)🤣
I grew up on a farm, apparently my dad was a fuzzy eater so we didn't get much beyond butter, liver. Mom told me recently she loves sauerkraut, I asked why we never got out as kids, "dad didn't " like" it", probably never tried it😂
Hey guys, thank you for the great episode as always. Bulgarian carnivore here - our national meat is pork. I do 40/8 fasts which leaves me with 4 days of eating per week. On each feeding day I consume 1kg of pork belly + 700gr full fat cottage cheese and at 47 years of age 70kg bodyweight I have never been healthier or stronger.
So love this informative discussion. Shared to facebook. My friends think I’m on a crazy diet. 4 plus months carnivore. Thank you and I’m feeling better knowing smart lovely people like you are stepping up to needs of our survival. Thank you from a great great grandma❤
I find myself captivated by the enchanting allure of Mary Ruddick. Her resplendent smile exudes unparalleled beauty, and the mesmerizing depth within her eyes leaves me at a loss for words. In this moment, I am unequivocally enamored. Or to say, i think I'm in love with Mary Ruddick!
As a female, I am not in love with Mary, but do agree about her looks. She is beautiful, and I think the most amazing thing about her is the absence of stress and anger or even irritation. You can't picture her being angry, strangely enough. This makes her so easy to watch.
An exceptionally informative and compelling conversation! Very much appreciate this video. One of the most educational things about how to really carnivore, that I've ever heard. I want to try some of these cultural carnivore delights. Guess it helps to be a world traveler. Very impressive guest!! Thank you for introducing us to Mary Ruddick!👏
I’m lactose intolerant. I just started getting raw milk from a local farmer. I drink maybe 4oz a day. Zero digestive problems and I think it has helped with my local allergies, fwiw.
You’re actually probably not lactose intolerant then, you might just be having a histamine reaction or allergic response to the dead bacteria in pasteurized milk. So glad you found raw dairy!
I say that I was lactose intolerant but now handle cheese in portions where before I would have needed lactaid but since been carnivore for almost 2yrs have not used lactaid since. When I can find it and afford it I use well aged unpasteurized cheese as much as possible. I think my bio has changed in a big way.
Congratulations on learning that raw milk heals and is extremely healthy. Dr. Berg, Dr. Axe, Dr. Saladino, Dr. Muhammed have great videos teaching about the amazing health benefits of raw milk!🙂
Such a great discussion! And good to hear that organs are eaten by those living more traditionally- not just fed to the dogs as I’ve heard some say AND that dairy is so commonly consumed. Thank you for the introduction to Mary and her work! ❤
Always love listening to Mary. She’s fascinating and so sweet. Wish she could Post and share more often but her travels and explorations come first for sure :) hopefully one day we will have an amazing documentary put together out of all her travels
Really amazing show. Thank you Dr. Berry for bringing on and giving exposure to such informed guests like Mary Ruddick. I followed her on IG, I liked her perspective and 'on the ground' experience.
Dr. Berry the world is a better place because of you and your peers. Thank you for leading all of us to be able to change this stupid narrative. Can't thank you enough! Day 45 on Carnivore. Amazing benefits already. Wonderful Interview! Love that I "fell" down this crazy Carnivore Rabbit Hole
She has a tremendous amount of knowledge, great interview doc, love to hear you talking about water, I tell my clients all the time, it will lead to fatigue and lack of minerals
For us 'westerners' who have Irish, "Gallic', and or German ancestry dairy and blood were consumed. The Gauls and Celts were well known by the Romans to have consumed a diet of predominantly meat and dairy. They too fermented their dairy and had cheese as well as what we would consider yogurt, keffir, etc. As for blood, there is one dish that immediately comes to mind and that is blood sausage/black pudding. I think ancestral nutrition is important. I have tested deficiencies for vitamins and minerals where foods that my ancestors were not only in abundance, but that other nutrients in those foods helped them absorb those minerals. This is why whole foods are so very important. When a people have adapted to eating foods for 100s of years, their dna changes to adapt. But this takes 100s to 1000s of years. Now take those people out of that dietary environment and you end up with deficiencies in nutrients their bodies adapted to using. Just like people who live in high altitude climates have adapted to the lower oxygen in the air.
Wow, this is fascinating. I've got Irish, German, Scottish and Norwegian ancestry as well as a smidgen of native American. I have struggled with anemia off and on all my life. Doctors cannot figure out why. I'm very healthy and have had a plethora of tests done. You've got me thinking I may need to eat more rare steaks, etc, to get my iron up naturally.
I graduated medicine in the days before the current obsession with drinking water. I cant convince younger folks (and docs) that our species would not have evolved if our bodies was so dependent on an uninterrupted supply of water.
I'm 63 and can't believe how dependent people are on constantly sucking on their plastic water bottles. They even bring them out and suck them down in church!
I've always been a very thirsty person ( and with lots of autoimmune type health challenges and realized b4 I fixed my diet somewhat, I was often a mouth breather as well, I'd been so used to being rather stuffed up or swollen sinuses). My family members drank nowhere near as much or as often as I, yet we also drank only water or milk, my Dad some beer on occasion but not a daily thing usually, on our farm. Ate less refined sugar and basically no refined grains ( went even more to whole, OG and then also fresh ground ) by my teens. My parents drank some coffee but not a lot, and not necessarily 1st thing in a.m. . So, not a lot of those things that do seen to or are known to ( alcohol) dehydrate a person. To me, born in 1980 and seeing my town-kid peers and even some farm kids, growing up having soda's usually available and rarely drinking water at all anymore, that perfectly justified the whole push for getting people to drink more water, when it began. My husband drank practically none when I met him in our early 20s, although he'd at least been cutting out soda by then. Anyway, my point is that I saw a good reason for it needing to have been a thing, to am extent. If it didn't need to have become such a thing... ok, great. I can relax when hubby drinks a lot less than his nutritionist he'd worked with once 2 yrs ago, told him to, per his body size and weight ( he's overweight, & tall and wide under the fat). We just started carnivore, so, hopefully he won't weigh 350 plus for much longer anyway. We've been eating awfully healthy for years, other than not enough non-starchy vegetables always... . Ate full fat animal foods all along, incl. liver. Only having to deal animal foods and nothing else now, is actually easier tho, and tho I miss having certain foods paired with my fish or venison roast, it's less work for now ( til I get bored with the basics) !
This was so fascinating! I will never ever drink blood, but the rest is mind blowing. Also, Jews have strict dietary laws, and the only parts passed on to Christians is not drinking the lifes blood, or eating things that have been strangled. Taking God's name in vain is putting His stamp on things He didn't say. Loved this video and will be watching again. Thank you and may God direct your steps.
I've been to Sardinia, one of the blue zones, many many times. I don't think I've ever seen a Sardinian dish that wasn't predominantly meat, fish or dairy based.
As a baby I couldn’t drink milk. Mom said I was allergic so they gave me goats milk. That was 67 years ago. My entire life I’ve felt bloated and was asmatic . When I was 16 I had the allergy tests that said I was allergic to about everything . Mom didn’t believe in avoiding those things but I did get the shots for a few years. Fast forward Pat 20 years blot IBS uncomfortable . I’ve eaten no carb or white stuff which helped and I dropped 30 menapause weight . Still the other problems.Bigg cheese egg eater. Keto for a year dropped 20 but still the same . Now carnivore 3 months and have realized I need to watch the eggs and cheese. Everything works I’m 111 pounds I’m pretty good.
If you ever try eggs again after a long enough break from them to be able to tell, it would be interesting to see if eggs from chickens fed a totally wild diet would be different/ok for you ? Just bugs and whatever else they eat. May be awfully hard to find the eggs then if they hide em out there... . And if they're at all confined you'd need to provide feed, although you ( the farmer) can, with soldier fly larvae, compost piles with nothing added to that you want them to not eat ( GMOs, gluten grains at all, soy, or ?? ) ... chickens will eat the mycelium out of compost btw. , not just the food scraps.
This was so interesting ! Please bring her back. Also please interview the doctor she talked about with hydration. Back in the 70s when I worked in small mom and pop slaughterhouses I got to try alot of awful offal. We cooked brains and sweet breads (the thymus gland) on the wide ledge of the lard kettle. Also mountain oysters (beef testicles) . A little salt and pepper with all that lard grease was delicious. Also remember some of the old timers grabbing a cup of blood off a freshly stuck beef in the spring as a once a year ritual. Never tried that. These animals were always stunned first so I was a little confused when she mentioned that they couldn't use the reindeer blood because they were stunned. Maybe I misunderstood .
This is one of the best interviews i've ever seen. I am going to have to watch this a few more times to take in all the information that was here. Thank you both so much for everything!
Thank you!!! That was so interesting hearing for me! I am Swedish Sami and agree with everything she says bout extra carb sensitivity. I have seen so much mental and fysical unhealth amongst my relatives and intuitively knew instantly when first hearing of PHD that it especially concerned me and my genome. Me, my mum, my son and a cousin is now healing on carnivore. For my auntie it’s too late… being vegetarian for most of her adult life, she is now out of our reach, in a home with dementia and thyroid issues, Obese, getting standard, state issued diet 💔😔
Someone did an interview with a nursing home (small, family style) director/owner who was trying to get nutrition right for their residents… he got permission from the family of one lady with dementia to try carnivore and her mental clarity vastly improved.
Dr.'s Shawn Baker and Anthony Chaffee have done interviews with their Dr. friend, who is the one treating people in his assisted living facilities with the carnivore diet and experiencing great success, healing their dementia.
The unhealthiest line of my family is my Mom's Mom, and her mom ( my great grandmother) was weak as an infant and was wheelchair bound, weak and sickly for years before she died at age 84. Her daughter, my Grandma, died in her later 70s, had had Alzheimer's or something like it in her later years, and now my mom, who's not yet 70, is showing serious signs of it :( . The great-gramma was full swedish ( that I know of). Her daughter fed her veggies to the dog as a child, and only made them from a can from the store when my mom was little, so, she didn't like them either. I have no idea how much meat or etc. they ate, but was prob. a typical middle class diet of the early 1900s. My mom then learned to garden and the wonderful taste of fresh veggies, marrying into a dairy farm family. She brought with her an interest in whole grains vrs. white flour and rice, and we ate a decent amount of meat, dairy & eggs but prob. not enough - and I was a picky kid when it came to textures and sticky, unchewable fats on meats as a kid ( well, not a ton better now... ) so I probably ate even less than I would have. Took as little as possible and snuck some of that, as I felt a need to, into my paper napkin to be thrown away, as being made to try to eat it grossed me out so badly. Anyway, my mom has eaten awfully healthfully - m/l the Weston A. Price advised ways for years, eats raw hamburger, makes own kombucha, doesn't eat much sweets or fruits or etc. really, that I know of ( I've lived far away for a long while and am estranged from Dad for good reasons ) as been overall quite healthy too... so I'm really, really bummed that she's having serious memory issues. Can this be reversed by carnivore ?? Anyway, wondering if we have any of that carb sensitive gene in thay line, or of it's just from poor diets and things in the more recent generations, regardless of where in Sweden they were originally from.. ? ( I traced part of her family back to Varmland, I think it was called. The area where Richard Perkins farms/Ridgedale permaculture).
Having grown up in central Europe in the 70s this brought back many memories of the things people ate. Pork and beef lungs were minced and cooked into a stew, a common dish at school lunches and delicious. Pork brains were cooked into soup too on the day an animal was butchered. Blood from chickens and other poultry and from pigs was eaten. And heart and liver and kidneys were never wasted but prized. And everything was cooked in lard! Thank you for a great interview.
If I could like this video twice, I would. I love anything from Mary Ruddick and Dr. Berry. I would love to see the two of you along with Dr. Schindler in a video!
Careful, I'm not sure what word you meant to use, but the word "evolutionist" is almost exclusively used by people who don't understand basic biology. You don't want to be mistaken for one of those people.
Amazing interview so great that I watched 2x! I am American in my heart but E European in my smack... it was refreshing to hear you guys talk about organ meats and ancestral traditions. THANK YOU BOTH!
Dr. Berry, Mary R. sound so much like Nina T. Her voice so similar❤. And she is so smart and sweet doctor, i also appreciate, that you have her on your podcast sir.
That’s so cool that she’s talking about Sami people. I am Facebook friends with a guy who lives in Norway, who was raised as a Sea Sami. He and his buddy have a TH-cam channel about Norway, and they made a video about how the Norwegian government was so horrible to the Sami people and made them blend in with the rest of Norwegians, and they had to give up their language and culture etc. for the Norwegian government to give them houses etc.
@janedough6575 Except in the past they would kill the men, enslave the healthy boys and turn the women into sex slaves, not that pressuring people into modern life is ok either.
![WHAT CARNIVORE DIET DID to Her [with Laura Spath]](/img/n.gif)
At work, I have a coworker who is vegan and always preaching on healthy eating. I told her that I am on Keto/carnivore, and she said that was unhealthy. I look at her with sadness, because she has frizzy dry falling grey hair, wrinkled/dry skin, diabetic, asthmatic and obese! She cannot even squat or go up a flight of stairs without huffing and puffing. The worst part of this is that she's always on a diet while I never been on any diet, yet I am sharp, I have more energy, age>51 perfect blood work, perfect vision.
Next time she's preaching to you, say, " let's compare, then..." and do that. Data doesn't lie.
I went from plant-based (couldn't digest animal - based for a while) to mainly consuming eggs, meat and raw dairy and at 46 yo my vision is almost back to where it was before hitting my mid-forties.
❤n😢
I know those who hate liver, who cut it into small cubes and freeze it. They then swallow the cubes like a supplement.
Go vegan can be good for a period of time to especific person , its a dificult diet but can work well , i eat wild fish , organic eggs , sometimes grass feed chiken or turkey ,raw veggies , avocado , pistachos ,pecans, olives and coconut oil and species , vitamis , bpa free watter , i look so young , and i m very muscular
My workplace is really trying to push the blue zone thing. The hilarious thing is, the staff nurse has actually lost over 100 pounds on keto.
Tell them Okinawa isn't really plant based and people there eat all the pork they can get 😁
lol!
@@thefisherking78🐖❤️💯
It works... I lost 40 lbs in 6 months... With a few cheat days..All I can say is it works
@@thefisherking78 I read that in Dr Berry's voice 😅
I fell completely in love with Mary Ruddick when she said: "I will look into that and I'll get back to you...". That's the compassion and curiosity a true scientist shows about gathering accurate data in a humble way. What an interesting and kind person she is. I think I unconsciously smiled the whole interview because she seems so nice. This was a truly interesting conversation to listen to. Thank you both for providing such important informations!
Stupid. No I do not covet her. lol
“I will look into that and get back to you” is the most important phrase any Instructor or person imparting information/Data can say.
@@kenmcc5734 That is a nothing phase and you are a BOT..
Hildi321: Agreed! My grandfather always told us, "Never answer: 'I don't know' - say instead: 'I'm not sure but I'll get back to you after I find out'."
There is a fascinating book called “Nutrition and Physical Degeneration” by Dr. Weston A Price. He traveled the world in the early 1900’s to study indigenous people and documenting the devastating health consequences of deviating from their traditional diets, especially from going from meat-based diets to a carbohydrate based diet.
Great book-everyone should read it. It was still in print in 2000, but the publishing company who had the rights went out of business. I know; I worked for them.
The book is still published and available on Amazon.
And there is a great cookbook called nourishing traditions based on Weston price.
Great book! I bought it used on eBay years ago.
I think she mentions the book and Dr. Weston Price 👍🏻
When Mary talked about not eating meat with bones until she was out of teens, reminds of a funny story we often talk about - when my son was about 6 years old he had a friend over and I asked if he wanted to join us for dinner and he said yes. I was making a whole cut up chicken asian style and when I served it to him he said - this isn't chicken and I said yes for sure it's chicken and he said no it's not - chicken don't have bones! I discovered he'd only ever had chicken nuggets for "chicken"!
WOW! Sad really....
But did he like it? Reminds me of growing up, I only had veggies like asparagus out of a can until I was an adult. Same with cranberry sauce at Thanksgiving. What parents feed kids out of laziness or lack of interest in cooking is so pathetic.
@@mariel9073 yes he did and when he became a teenager he really branched out in eating while real foods and he and my son became excellent cooks of many cuisines. Just makes me smile. Another funny note - this boys mother once said to me, when I wouldn’t let my son go with her to McDonald’s, “What do you eat?”?😂
Macorroni and cheese with chocolate milk. I left my fiancé a highly paid nurse for feeding her kid shit food and not addressing why her son threw up several times daily while saying he was OK. He won’t eat meat Cwaig!
Sad
This is my first time listening to this intelligent and graceful woman. Truly fascinating. Thank you!
Me too! She is incredible. I could listen to her for hours.
She’s so gorgeously radiant in every way I could listen to her for hours and hours.
she’s not a doctor or a scientist - she has zero credential and credibility to be trying to act as an expert - she’s not a trained journalist - she’s like a fan girl going into
these places and looking with very basic public eyes at people she happened to meet. that’s not science and blue zone was drafted with interviews by experts and highest leaders in those communities. she’s not even a journalist and it was very obvious with her “reporting” 😂 also loma lind blue zone are defined by eating vegetarian as a guideline
Is it just me?, but besides falling in love with Mary I thought this was just a fantastic interview so full of information that I need to watch it a few times. As a carnivore of 2.5yrs you’ve answered so many of my questions about ancestral diets. Shared far and wide!
Mary has done many interviews on Food Lies and Wise Traditions. She is amazing!
I felt exactly the same way!!!! Amazing information!!
Stupid. No I do not covet her. lol
Those eyebrows are not appealing 🤷♂️🤷♂️🫣🫣
@@carlodefalco7930 ??? What does that have to do with anything???
The other day I was thinking about growing up in the 70s/80s and how we would be outside all day and we never took drinks with us or worried about what we were going to drink. When we got near a water hose, we'd take a few drinks and go back to playing. It just wasn't an issue.
Not sure why I now feel like I have to have a drink with me at all times everywhere I go, but I need to work on breaking that habit.
This, exactly! My Cardiologist told me to drink 64oz water every day so I would stay hydrated and my blood pressure would stabilize. I've stopped coffee and switched to drinking electrolyte water. But now I'm questioning everything. 🤔
I always do because I'm actually, definitely thirsty, and no, I'm not diabetic but I do have Mast Cell Hist syndrome thing my Dr. thinks/autoimmune type troubles my whole life. Anyway, here in ruralish western WI most people still don't worry about drinking the supposed ideal amount, and if they take a water bottle along it's usually only when they'll be away from home awhile, or could end up being so. For ex. even at work, it's not like newer built places necessarily have bubblers ( drinking fountains) being put in, it seems, and in many older buildings, they don't always work or work well, plus that's city water which a lot of want to avoid, esp. using a lot anyway. So, in defense of more and more people taking water bottles, overall IMO/observations, it's for good reasons or is a good thing - people trying to turn to water instead or grabbing a soda or extra coffee... drinking water between meals and realizing they weren't hungry at all, just thirsty ( some people not used to drinking much water ever, are really helped by this). Also I think anyone who eats much sugar, refined foods or much whole grains, too, or works outdoors actively or in windy conditions ( by fans) inside, sweats much or breaths open mouthed more than they even realize, probably IS needing plenty of water. Just my thoughts so far.
I see people with these big water bottles sipping on them all throughout the day. It's ridiculous. When I'm thirsty I drink water until I'm not thirsty. Then I'll drink another cup or so. My body is smart and knows what to do with it. Sipping all throughout the day isn't what my body is designed for and in my opinion confuses my smart body and makes it think there must be a limited supply of water so I need to keep it in store. I didn't know if any of this is true but I'm happily not carrying around 64 oz water all day ready to draw like a six-shooter.
Man, water hose water was the best growing up! We played in the dead heat of summer and all we needed was the backyard water hose! 😂😆❤
@@blakebunch4485 Yes. I've read to Stop at Pause.
Notice when a baby pauses and pushes away when doing anything...eating, drinking, doing, focusing...that is their body saying enough. Could you say we force fed them to eat and drink on schedule for our convenience and now we do it to ourselves and society approves and affirms this forcefullness...
I have been freed of so many myths since beginning carnivore! Freedom from fruits, from copious amounts of veggies, not being thirsty but being told I'm NEVER "hydrating" enough...there's so much more. Love this video! Thank you 👍
Can you please clarify about hydration. Are you finding you drink less on Carnivore. Thanks.
@@Ulster2 I know I drink less now that my glucose/insulin is lower. The body tries to flush out the toxic glucose when it doesn’t need anymore. It has to go through the kidneys unfortunately which damages them too. High glucose damages every system in your body.
I used to drink 3/4 gallon (96oz or ~3 liters). Now I’m good on 32 ozs). Hydration is not really about water. It’s about getting electrolytes with your needed water. Excess water just flushes those away.
OMG, me too!! What a crazy wild ride and I’m very much in the beginning phase. Started Feb 1, 2024. I’m hooked!!
One of the most delightful interviews I’ve experienced. She exudes empiric knowledge and understanding, and presents it so gracefully.
But she doesn't look like she's old enough to have experienced all she talked about.
Thank you! I’m 41 ;)
Agreed. She's beautiful
In theee days it will be four months I've eaten carnivore. I've reversed fatty liver, diabetes, diverticulitis and many other ailments, I've lost over thirty pounds.
I feel like a new person.
This is such an important video. Wonderful guest!
We are all lied to terribly.
They want us literally sick and dying.
Thank you dr Berry!
Sickness is where the money is ! We are merely cash cows !!
Fascinating. I’ve never heard about most of these ancestral diets. Thank you for sharing.
I love Mary! Why is she not far more popular in these communities?!
I’ve been following her for about 5 years and worked with her team. She’s very busy with her studies and travel and doesn’t promote or do lots of interviews. She is amazing and filled with so much knowledge and compassion. Even more that could imagine. She is a shining light in this world to be honest.
I really hope there’s a book in the pipeline.
This is a great interview. However, I keep hearing so many different stories about food and what to eat and what not to eat, and it gets so confusing to the point I wish I no longer needed to eat. I think we are all just winging everything in hope that what we are doing is right in the long run. More and more, I believe in eating a balanced diet consisting of a little bit of everything, making sure your food is coming from good sources, and making sure you do not over eat. Stay active, get outside, and all that good stuff! I think we are all doing the best we can with the ton of conflicting information out here. Most importantly, listen to your body. It is always talking.
My grandmother (a butchers daughter) always made Brawn from brains, I remember a whole animal brain, (sheep?) soaking in salt water in her large ceramic mixing bowl in the kitchen. It looked revolting, but apparently tasted great, although I never tried it. She also cooked ox tongue and sliced it cold to make sandwiches, after first peeling away the thick outer layer of taste buds, I do remember my own mum in the 1950s frequently cooking pigs trotters (feet) in jelly and she used dad’s razor 😅 to shave off the tougher hairs on the leg part. We also ate steak and kidney, made with suet (beef lard) lambs liver and bacon, and stuffed lambs or beef hearts and of course ox tail soup and seafood for Sunday tea of ; jellied eels, cockles, welks and muscles, skate (fish) in parsley sauce. Marrow bones (beef) were fed to our dogs raw and they loved them.
Thank you that’s all very amazing
Very like my upbringing in the north-east of England. We didn't eat brains which have very flavour but we didn't enjoy the pasty text. I still cook most of these things
Sounds like the stuff my grandmother and mother grew up on
My mother and I were allowed to share a special treat when we stayed as guests at a working beef ranch in the rockies in Colorado: stuffed veal heart. A big man’s fist-sized heart, stuffed with regular bread dressing with onions, celery, and poultry seasoning. There might have been an egg in it, but I did not ask. It was baked in the oven until done, then sliced. Between the two of us, we ate the whole thing. This was the offspring of their single dairy cow, who gave milk and butter for the rancher and family and cowboys. You can’t buy the like, because calves are never processed that young. It was one of the most delicious dishes I ever had in my life.
We ate it with no hesitation, since we had many times enjoyed our family recipe for rinderwurst (German for beef sausage). It was and is made from pot roast and calf’s heart, stewed in water, cut up, and ground, and mixed with steel-cut oatmeal cooked in the cooking liquid from the meats. You make a lot and freeze part of it. You have to put a piece of beef suet in each package. You render the piece of suet in a cast-iron pan and-leaving it in the pan, fry a pound or so of it. You have to fry till crispy, keep turning it until brown. If there is any left, store in fridge along with what’s left from the fat piece. You can render that out to reheat the remnant. This is my family recipe and it never included liver or anything else and only was seasoned with salt and pepper. It’s the best breakfast ever!
Mother’s grandfather started a meat market after the government used imminent domain to take the family homestead for a military base. All the siblings got enough to start a business. As a small child I lived over the market for 3-4 years.
This was my childhood also.
No one ever got sick. No one had aches and pains. We were all energetic and happy. 😁👍
What a great interview! That really put a button on the Blue Zone nonsense. Mary's terrific. She's living evidence of the benefits of these diets. As are you, Ken.
I live in the Okinawa blue zone and am an Okinawan health and plant specialist. I am the only one around besides my sensei. Dr. Makoto Suzuki. I would love to get the truth out about blue zones, the Okinawa one specifically. The netflix documentary very SLYLY edited footage to warp the concepts.
Thank you for commenting here 😊
Dan Butner admitted that he filtered out blue zones that ate meat and didn't show meat in the films because he knew meat was bad and didn't want to confuse people.
Also BTW, I read the Okinawa might not actually be a blue zone anyway. Many people died during WWII but the Japanese government didn't record it so on paper the data might show that there still alive and over 100.
@@djohnson-ku4cl Do you have a link to something where Dan admits thatt?
@@djohnson-ku4cl That was debunked by Dr. Willcox and Dr. Suzuki based on their research, Okinawa is most certainly a blue zone :)
Thank you for having Mary on! I love her vast knowledge of traditional food and culture and her beautiful energy!
Mary Rudick is amazing. And I love the idea of processing the sheep the old way.
I grew up with eating all sheep meat and organs loved brains are not easy in the city to get most today say what ! As that diet has gone and so only seem to be the cultures that have come to Australia. Am starting carnivor but not fully yet am getting ready to have a cook up when temp below 40C ++ am feeling better from lot pain to half.
About the drinking water... my eyes were open when many years ago I watched a documentary about some nomadic tribes. The camera crew was following them through the deserts in Northern Africa. One guy in the tribe was explaining that they go for very long periods of times (I think it was longer than a week)without water and when they do get to water, they drink very little. He said it's so they can maintain their ability to go for a long time without water. Those people were very healthy. later I couldn't help but notice that many people have gone more than a week without water in survival situations and have not died or had lasting effects. There is a show called "I shouldn't be alive" and they are all true stories. So so much we're told about how much water we need is just a flat out lie. I drink a lot of water because my health isn't right but i'm never quenched.
Wow, just wow. Since I started my Carnivore journey I've seen so many Dietary Sacred Cows blown away - but this intelligent and engaging woman blew away a few more ( especially water and blood ) It's just so good to have someone who has gone out and actually lived with different communities. That is a life well led and I thank you.
Yup. Very smashable.
Great interview, with a great guest, doc. I love to listen to interviews with Mary Ruddick, she has gathered a world of knowledge visiting the Blue Zones.
Charming, intelligent, well-educated lady. One of your best informed guests I've viewed.
I've been following Dr. Berry for 5 years now and have many many many favorite videos , but this one just moved to the top of the list. Riveting.. plus, I'm in love now . 😍😁
😮😊 Love it, I had blood wurst from a German farmer, it's great! I can't get anyone to eat liver , not friends or family. Brains taste like scrambled eggs!
Io sono Sardo ,e sono carnivoro ,dieta del leone nello specifico ,,che in Sardegna siano vegetariani è la più grande bugia mai sentita,,tutti i piatti tipici della mia terra sono a base animale ,,tutta la storia della Sardegna e basata di allevamento e pastorizia ,,la Sardegna è la più carnivora di tutte ,,Grazie ❤️💪🏻🔥
This is absolutely true. My sister lives in Sardinia and I have often visited. Meat is a major (and delicious) part of the diet!
Wow! What an interview! Had never heard of Mary Ruddick but now need to learn more. Thanks for having her on.
Facinating going to have to listen again as its so packed with info. As a Scottish person we black pudding which is made with blood and haggis and white pudding which use nose to tail ingredients lovely!
Please don't abandon RUMBLE. Love your work.
Wow, what awesome interview. Please have Mary back.
Wow. Big fan of Mary’s now. Her experiences are amazing and perfect testimonies to the claims so many have. Thanks for this!!
Mary is a pleasure to listen to. Very upbeat and positive.
This was fascinating. I've been watching YT videos on nutrition for many years, but this is the most interesting one I've seen. Thank you!
She is such a ray of light and breath of fresh air.
Mary is incredibly delightful and a rare presence in front of the camera, my god how she makes me smile just watching and listening to her. Thank you Doc for having her on, what a unique profession she inhabits. Only negative is sometimes she quickly swallows the ends of her words so I miss it if its a medical condition or any medical terminology. Slow Down.
I grew up on a farm and every time we slaughtered a bull, we enjoyed beef brain and scrambled eggs for a week or two. No wonder I was the Grade Champion Speller throughout my elementary school years.
Slaughtered a bull, and scrambled eggs were the result?😅
Huh?😮
@@barbarafairbanks4578 re-read as you missed eating beef brain. The beef brain came from the slaughtered bull. The eggs came from the chickens on the farm.
@@misterbd9641 no, I didn't misread or miss anything.
But! What I did read (in this comments' section) after reading your comment re beef brain;scrambled eggs...
Someone else wrote here that beef brain tastes like scrambled eggs.
So...I thought, Oh! That's what their comment (yours) was about, that the scrambled eggs you referred to was beef
brain.😳
But now here you are stating that the scrambled eggs you referred to were actually hen eggs, from the farm.
...and if so, then why leave that out of your comment?
(Yah, I get that it was an 'assumed' meaning on your part.) But the way I inferred what you wrote was, After slaughtering the bull your family had plenty beef and beef brain AND scrambled eggs.
(which, to my comprehension meant that...scrambled eggs were readily available AFTER slaughtering the bull (but not prior).
JMO...(that's the way I read it, and it struck me funny)😅
As an aside, when I was a kid my father used to cook beef brain AND tongue.
My sister, mother, and I were so grossed out by this that we would rather starve than touch it!
(which, btw, I think now, that was his plan all along. He knew we wouldn't touch it and he'd have it all to himself.
He was a stingy man (sorry to say) and was stingy with
food too☹️ He used to count all the cans of food in the pantry 🧐 and would get furious if something was missing, bc that meant my sister or I ate it, without permission.
He was an alcoholic who would sit in the living room, reading and drinking 🍺. Because he was also lazy, he would send one of us to fetch him a beer from the fridge.
To get back at him for his stingy ways, we would always shake the can of beer before we gave it to him🤣. You can imagine his fury when every time we brought him a beer it would invariably 💥Explode!💥 when he popped
the top💥🌊💧💧💧
(Just a weird but funny memory from my childhood that came to mind with the subject of beef brains)🤣
I grew up on a farm, apparently my dad was a fuzzy eater so we didn't get much beyond butter, liver. Mom told me recently she loves sauerkraut, I asked why we never got out as kids, "dad didn't " like" it", probably never tried it😂
I too grew up on a farm and my father always had brains and eggs for breakfast after butchering hogs. He really enjoyed it.
Fabulous interview. It explains so many puzzling things. Please have her on again.
Ken, mate, you are really upping the game. Love the recent guests. Mary was a wealth of knowledge. What a life she is living too 💪🏼
and Host - you are a Great Interviewer!!! I really enjoyeth your conversation with The Great Dr Cate, and this one as well!!! Thanks!!!!!!
Hey guys, thank you for the great episode as always. Bulgarian carnivore here - our national meat is pork. I do 40/8 fasts which leaves me with 4 days of eating per week. On each feeding day I consume 1kg of pork belly + 700gr full fat cottage cheese and at 47 years of age 70kg bodyweight I have never been healthier or stronger.

I find myself captivated by the enchanting allure of Mary Ruddick. Her resplendent smile exudes unparalleled beauty, and the mesmerizing depth within her eyes leaves me at a loss for words. In this moment, I am unequivocally enamored. Or to say, i think I'm in love with Mary Ruddick!
As a female, I am not in love with Mary, but do agree about her looks. She is beautiful, and I think the most amazing thing about her is the absence of stress and anger or even irritation. You can't picture her being angry, strangely enough. This makes her so easy to watch.
daddy, chill.
Her radiance is probable from drinking blood. How can I get some?
Why thank you!
My head spins to think how many words it would be had you not been at a loss for words!
An exceptionally informative and compelling conversation! Very much appreciate this video. One of the most educational things about how to really carnivore, that I've ever heard. I want to try some of these cultural carnivore delights. Guess it helps to be a world traveler. Very impressive guest!! Thank you for introducing us to Mary Ruddick!👏
I’m lactose intolerant. I just started getting raw milk from a local farmer. I drink maybe 4oz a day. Zero digestive problems and I think it has helped with my local allergies, fwiw.
Try raw goat Milk. Delicious.
You’re actually probably not lactose intolerant then, you might just be having a histamine reaction or allergic response to the dead bacteria in pasteurized milk. So glad you found raw dairy!
@@geogriapeach5211 goat milk definitely an acquired taste.
I say that I was lactose intolerant but now handle cheese in portions where before I would have needed lactaid but since been carnivore for almost 2yrs have not used lactaid since. When I can find it and afford it I use well aged unpasteurized cheese as much as possible. I think my bio has changed in a big way.
Congratulations on learning that raw milk heals and is extremely healthy. Dr. Berg, Dr. Axe, Dr. Saladino, Dr. Muhammed have great videos teaching about the amazing health benefits of raw milk!🙂
Wow, this is such an info-packed and eye-opening interview. She’s such an intelligent, beautiful, and honest person. Thank you so much for having her.

For us 'westerners' who have Irish, "Gallic', and or German ancestry dairy and blood were consumed. The Gauls and Celts were well known by the Romans to have consumed a diet of predominantly meat and dairy. They too fermented their dairy and had cheese as well as what we would consider yogurt, keffir, etc. As for blood, there is one dish that immediately comes to mind and that is blood sausage/black pudding. I think ancestral nutrition is important. I have tested deficiencies for vitamins and minerals where foods that my ancestors were not only in abundance, but that other nutrients in those foods helped them absorb those minerals. This is why whole foods are so very important. When a people have adapted to eating foods for 100s of years, their dna changes to adapt. But this takes 100s to 1000s of years. Now take those people out of that dietary environment and you end up with deficiencies in nutrients their bodies adapted to using. Just like people who live in high altitude climates have adapted to the lower oxygen in the air.
Dude, yes, Irish 'boudin noir' was the best I've ever had 😊
Wow, this is fascinating. I've got Irish, German, Scottish and Norwegian ancestry as well as a smidgen of native American. I have struggled with anemia off and on all my life. Doctors cannot figure out why. I'm very healthy and have had a plethora of tests done. You've got me thinking I may need to eat more rare steaks, etc, to get my iron up naturally.
Irish, scot, welsh and choctaw here!
Super interesting info!
Thanks!
This is so fascinating to me. When I lived in Ireland they served blood sausage with breakfast. I was grossed out at the time. 😅
@@bonnieleary1197100% Scot here, I loved black pudding when I was younger but couldn't eat it now though. It does taste lovely grilled😊
Dr Berry I really enjoyed Mary Ruddick .Thank you for sharing with us.
I graduated medicine in the days before the current obsession with drinking water. I cant convince younger folks (and docs) that our species would not have evolved if our bodies was so dependent on an uninterrupted supply of water.
What else are we supposed to drink? I only really drink water. Along with my our children.
@tammys4760 the issue is the obsession with drinking volume, not the water thing .
I'm 63 and can't believe how dependent people are on constantly sucking on their plastic water bottles. They even bring them out and suck them down in church!
Water volume consumption is encouraged by the “detox” enthusiasts.. believing that we have internal toxins to cleanse
I've always been a very thirsty person ( and with lots of autoimmune type health challenges and realized b4 I fixed my diet somewhat, I was often a mouth breather as well, I'd been so used to being rather stuffed up or swollen sinuses). My family members drank nowhere near as much or as often as I, yet we also drank only water or milk, my Dad some beer on occasion but not a daily thing usually, on our farm. Ate less refined sugar and basically no refined grains ( went even more to whole, OG and then also fresh ground ) by my teens. My parents drank some coffee but not a lot, and not necessarily 1st thing in a.m. . So, not a lot of those things that do seen to or are known to ( alcohol) dehydrate a person. To me, born in 1980 and seeing my town-kid peers and even some farm kids, growing up having soda's usually available and rarely drinking water at all anymore, that perfectly justified the whole push for getting people to drink more water, when it began. My husband drank practically none when I met him in our early 20s, although he'd at least been cutting out soda by then. Anyway, my point is that I saw a good reason for it needing to have been a thing, to am extent. If it didn't need to have become such a thing... ok, great. I can relax when hubby drinks a lot less than his nutritionist he'd worked with once 2 yrs ago, told him to, per his body size and weight ( he's overweight, & tall and wide under the fat). We just started carnivore, so, hopefully he won't weigh 350 plus for much longer anyway. We've been eating awfully healthy for years, other than not enough non-starchy vegetables always... . Ate full fat animal foods all along, incl. liver. Only having to deal animal foods and nothing else now, is actually easier tho, and tho I miss having certain foods paired with my fish or venison roast, it's less work for now ( til I get bored with the basics) !
This was so fascinating! I will never ever drink blood, but the rest is mind blowing. Also, Jews have strict dietary laws, and the only parts passed on to Christians is not drinking the lifes blood, or eating things that have been strangled. Taking God's name in vain is putting His stamp on things He didn't say. Loved this video and will be watching again. Thank you and may God direct your steps.
Why not drinking nutrition dense blood?
I've been to Sardinia, one of the blue zones, many many times. I don't think I've ever seen a Sardinian dish that wasn't predominantly meat, fish or dairy based.
Great video! Best argument for not drinking 80+ ounces of water a day! Thank you…
Very enlightening! Thanks for your great work and interviewing other knowledgeable people like Mary.
What a lovely, gracious woman full of info. Grateful. Thank you, Dr. BERRY for all you do. You are loved and appreciated. God bless you!!
As a baby I couldn’t drink milk. Mom said I was allergic so they gave me goats milk. That was 67 years ago. My entire life I’ve felt bloated and was asmatic . When I was 16 I had the allergy tests that said I was allergic to about everything . Mom didn’t believe in avoiding those things but I did get the shots for a few years. Fast forward Pat 20 years blot IBS uncomfortable . I’ve eaten no carb or white stuff which helped and I dropped 30 menapause weight . Still the other problems.Bigg cheese egg eater. Keto for a year dropped 20 but still the same . Now carnivore 3 months and have realized I need to watch the eggs and cheese. Everything works I’m 111 pounds I’m pretty good.
If you ever try eggs again after a long enough break from them to be able to tell, it would be interesting to see if eggs from chickens fed a totally wild diet would be different/ok for you ? Just bugs and whatever else they eat. May be awfully hard to find the eggs then if they hide em out there... . And if they're at all confined you'd need to provide feed, although you ( the farmer) can, with soldier fly larvae, compost piles with nothing added to that you want them to not eat ( GMOs, gluten grains at all, soy, or ?? ) ... chickens will eat the mycelium out of compost btw. , not just the food scraps.
I've watched this 3x to absorb all the information. One of the best interviews I've ever seen. She's amazing.
One of the best interviews to date.
This was so interesting ! Please bring her back. Also please interview the doctor she talked about with hydration. Back in the 70s when I worked in small mom and pop slaughterhouses I got to try alot of awful offal. We cooked brains and sweet breads (the thymus gland) on the wide ledge of the lard kettle. Also mountain oysters (beef testicles) . A little salt and pepper with all that lard grease was delicious. Also remember some of the old timers grabbing a cup of blood off a freshly stuck beef in the spring as a once a year ritual. Never tried that. These animals were always stunned first so I was a little confused when she mentioned that they couldn't use the reindeer blood because they were stunned. Maybe I misunderstood .
This is one of the best interviews i've ever seen. I am going to have to watch this a few more times to take in all the information that was here. Thank you both so much for everything!
Thank you!!! That was so interesting hearing for me! I am Swedish Sami and agree with everything she says bout extra carb sensitivity. I have seen so much mental and fysical unhealth amongst my relatives and intuitively knew instantly when first hearing of PHD that it especially concerned me and my genome. Me, my mum, my son and a cousin is now healing on carnivore. For my auntie it’s too late… being vegetarian for most of her adult life, she is now out of our reach, in a home with dementia and thyroid issues, Obese, getting standard, state issued diet 💔😔
Someone did an interview with a nursing home (small, family style) director/owner who was trying to get nutrition right for their residents… he got permission from the family of one lady with dementia to try carnivore and her mental clarity vastly improved.
Dr.'s Shawn Baker and Anthony Chaffee have done interviews with their Dr. friend, who is the one treating people in his assisted living facilities with the carnivore diet and experiencing great success, healing their dementia.
The unhealthiest line of my family is my Mom's Mom, and her mom ( my great grandmother) was weak as an infant and was wheelchair bound, weak and sickly for years before she died at age 84. Her daughter, my Grandma, died in her later 70s, had had Alzheimer's or something like it in her later years, and now my mom, who's not yet 70, is showing serious signs of it :( . The great-gramma was full swedish ( that I know of). Her daughter fed her veggies to the dog as a child, and only made them from a can from the store when my mom was little, so, she didn't like them either. I have no idea how much meat or etc. they ate, but was prob. a typical middle class diet of the early 1900s. My mom then learned to garden and the wonderful taste of fresh veggies, marrying into a dairy farm family. She brought with her an interest in whole grains vrs. white flour and rice, and we ate a decent amount of meat, dairy & eggs but prob. not enough - and I was a picky kid when it came to textures and sticky, unchewable fats on meats as a kid ( well, not a ton better now... ) so I probably ate even less than I would have. Took as little as possible and snuck some of that, as I felt a need to, into my paper napkin to be thrown away, as being made to try to eat it grossed me out so badly. Anyway, my mom has eaten awfully healthfully - m/l the Weston A. Price advised ways for years, eats raw hamburger, makes own kombucha, doesn't eat much sweets or fruits or etc. really, that I know of ( I've lived far away for a long while and am estranged from Dad for good reasons ) as been overall quite healthy too... so I'm really, really bummed that she's having serious memory issues. Can this be reversed by carnivore ?? Anyway, wondering if we have any of that carb sensitive gene in thay line, or of it's just from poor diets and things in the more recent generations, regardless of where in Sweden they were originally from.. ? ( I traced part of her family back to Varmland, I think it was called. The area where Richard Perkins farms/Ridgedale permaculture).
Hal Cramer?
Having grown up in central Europe in the 70s this brought back many memories of the things people ate. Pork and beef lungs were minced and cooked into a stew, a common dish at school lunches and delicious. Pork brains were cooked into soup too on the day an animal was butchered. Blood from chickens and other poultry and from pigs was eaten. And heart and liver and kidneys were never wasted but prized. And everything was cooked in lard! Thank you for a great interview.
My interest in ancestral eating is what led me to the Carnivore way of eating 6 weeks ago! Thank you, Dr. Berry and Mary Ruddick!
which ancestral. it ranged from high carb to low carb, alot of meat, and not so much meat...etc
yup, grossed out but loved learning all of the foods other cultures eat. TY
Thanks for a great interview! Please, please keep us posted on her response to the IODINE question (at 44:22)! Super helpful to know. Thanks again!
You might check the Thyroid series of videos by Dr. Elizabeth Bright. I’ve read a lot about thyroid but every video is a revelation of new material!
If I could like this video twice, I would. I love anything from Mary Ruddick and Dr. Berry. I would love to see the two of you along with Dr. Schindler in a video!
Oh I would like that too! Love spending time with them both!
Thanks!
God is an amazing Creator. Beautiful creation
Thank you Dr. Berry and guest for this reassuring video for us carnivores. ❤
This is one of your most valuable interviews. Good job 👍
One of the most grounded and fascinating interviews I’ve seen! Thank you!
It's always a great video with Mary Ruddick!❤🥩🥓🥚🐟
My first exposure to her… am now a fan!
Looooved this interview, thank you. Now following Mary!
Mary, you are so gracious when you speak about other cultures.
She's awesome, thanks for introducing her to me!
I loooooooove Mary Ruddick!!! 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I am praying for the day that you write the book “lies my evolutionist teachers taught me” Love you Dr. Berry!
😂❤
Careful, I'm not sure what word you meant to use, but the word "evolutionist" is almost exclusively used by people who don't understand basic biology. You don't want to be mistaken for one of those people.
@@BigSlimyBlob 🤐🙄
Amazing interview so great that I watched 2x! I am American in my heart but E European in my smack... it was refreshing to hear you guys talk about organ meats and ancestral traditions. THANK YOU BOTH!
IMPRESSED! Fascinating interview! Will be looking up Mary to learn and hear more about her experiences! Score interview!
Dr. Berry, Mary R. sound so much like Nina T. Her voice so similar❤. And she is so smart and sweet doctor, i also appreciate, that you have her on your podcast sir.
VERY INFORMATIONAL, THANK YOU!
Wow! What an interesting podcast thanks Doc! Mary’s lovely! 😍 will be following her!
What a lovely person. This was so fun!
That’s so cool that she’s talking about Sami people. I am Facebook friends with a guy who lives in Norway, who was raised as a Sea Sami. He and his buddy have a TH-cam channel about Norway, and they made a video about how the Norwegian government was so horrible to the Sami people and made them blend in with the rest of Norwegians, and they had to give up their language and culture etc. for the Norwegian government to give them houses etc.
😢😡 sad and angry for them. The cruelty against native or original peoples across the globe is shameful.
@@Pinkorchid72It’s how the world has always been, nothing new no matter how far you go back in history.
@@janedough6575 your exactly right and most of what we call “native people” also took the land from someone else.
@janedough6575
Except in the past they would kill the men, enslave the healthy boys and turn the women into sex slaves, not that pressuring people into modern life is ok either.
janedough6575, Just because cultural and ethnic genocide have been around since pre-history, it doesn’t make it moral. This should be obvious.
Wonderful interview. Thank you both! ❤❤
We always survived years ago. And we have to learn about old ways of doing things like Pemmican. An old survival food. Great for our kind of diets
