I just started carnivore for my severe mental health conditions. I’ve toyed with it for a while and have already seen DRAMATIC improvements. Im down three medications. I’m buckled down now and in it for the long haul. I have a story and I can’t wait to tell it. I’m SO GLAD you both are on board and sharing this information. I’ve lost so many friends including my best friend who left this world this past Halloween. I’ve been chasing help at all costs for 5 years, hundreds of thousands on treatment plans, medication, residential facilities… i have only gotten way worse since I have tried to find help. Polydrugged. Our mental “healthcare” system has beyond failed us. Thank God for Dr. Ken Berry sharing this science… it’s saved my life.
When you first started doing it did you have any symptoms? When I’ve tried it in the beginning I go through a lot of pain and I’m wondering if that’s because bad bacteria are dying off. Thank you
@@jdown442 with anything I do, I go “low and slow.” I give myself ample time to acclimate to lower levels of carbs. I’ve been gradually decreasing for about a year. First anything with gluten, waited a couple of months and went to whole foods only, now at doing ketovore with the aim of full carnivore but I go so-so slow and listen to my body and my brain. No pain, actually huge pain relief. I have psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis and my last shot of Skyrizi was last May and I have spots but I’m healing and I’m never going back on a biologic again.
I’m so glad you found Carnivore and that you are improving. The best is yet to come. There are days that I can’t believe how well I feel. When I stray away from Carnivore, my mental health suffers. So stay on the path.
I was in a severe depression and getting sober. My Dr. Had me taking at most 19 pills a day... I got sober on my own and then felt a drastic improvement I wanted to come off meds. He asked why. I told him. He said he felt they were working so he wanted to leave everything as it was. Well I took myself off everything one at a time. And then never went back. Now 41 sober and rx free!!!!!
I am sooooo proud of you! I am totally fed up with docs and especially the pharmas!!!! Been in research for 30 years. We try to CURE nothing!!! God bless you and your life.🙏🙏🙏😁
@@SuperZimpatico No, but you need a doctor who understands what a healthy diet is in the 1st place. Most doctors don't know squat about nutrition & the proper human diet -- that's why there are so many Vegans out there. And most doctors will tell you that the Carnivore diet will give you heart disease, which is a lie. Without access to a knowledgeable doctor, it's hard to make the switch to Carnivore.
I am lucky to live in Swedish Lapland. I eat elk and raindeer which are animals roaming free and feeding in a natural way. Feels healthy and ethically best choice.
Lucky you! My elderly dad loves to hunt and he got 4 white tail deer this year (on his own land, legally) and my husband and I helped him Process the meat. I ate venison sausage for breakfast today. Yum!
I’ve spoken to her in person recently at a conference as well and I can say she’s the most compassionate and empathetic psychiatrist I’ve ever met. And I’ve known too many to count. None have ever given me their undivided attention like she did. She is a true gem of a human being. Smart and kind. Very grateful for her and her work. Her book is excellent as well. A must-read.
I read Dr Ede’s book, it’s fantastic! I’m a pharmacist and suffer from MDD, on meds 35yrs. I never imagined diet could have such a dramatic effect. I’m awake! I’m enthusiastic about the day. I have brain energy!
I am a retired pharmacist and I have observed that pharmacy practice has a lot of stresses and circumstances that challenge ones mental health. I am glad you are doing well!
Oh my gosh, I love this doctor. She just commented that she listens to her patients….thank you Dr.Ede! Thank goodness my experience with antidepressants was monitored by a great psychiatrist within the Los Angeles County mental health department.
My mother took statin drugs for 15 years because she had high cholesterol and she ended up with Dementia by the time she was 78. I also have high Cholesterol its 270 but I have clean arteries and a strong heart no plaque at all and Im lean. Every Doctor I went to wanted me on Statins but they upset my liver and caused liver pain. I knew it was not for me. and I was only in my early 40's at that time. Now I am 66, and I have clear arteries no plague a strong heart and a sharp mind. Im not making the same mistake my mom did. My mom lived to 90 with a cholesterol level of over 350. Its a shame the statins drugs destroyed her brain. She would have had a happier life. I will not make the same mistake. Ive been eating a very low carb high fat/protein diet now and feel amazing.
This is excellent!! I am a psychotherapist and nutritionist/ health counselor! This is exactly the philosophy of my counseling- and my own lifestyle, along with daily meditation and exercise in my own life! Have been therapist almost 53 years! So glad to glad to hear a psychiatrist who does not push psychotropics!
Prior to starting the ketogenic diet January 2024 I had never heard of a connection between mental health and diet. But, my first reaction to how I felt after changing my diet was wow, I’m no longer so sad.
@KenDBerryMD You are a kind of prophet who preaches the good word to save humanity from diseases that were considered incurable like diabetes. You save their eyesight, their feet, their kidneys...their lives! God bless you!
The story about the mom who was hospitalized every year for forty years and recovered in weeks on a Keto diet is testimony to how resilient the human body and mind can be!! Wow !
I had major depression during the pandemic, with a gain of 100 pounds, I started ketovore/carnivore and also psychotherapy, the results in 10 months are very positive, mentally 85% better, weight loss of 110 pounds, readjustment of medication for pressure and soon anti depressant, food plays a major role.
Good morning from fellow MD-OEM Athens, Greece. I just returned to this video, because I was just talking to a patient of mine, who was diagnosed with "stress disorder" and put on Cymbalta, instead of counsulting her on how to handle a narcissistic mother and an abusive husband.
I startet Keto/Ketovore to solve other issues. But a few months in I suddenly noticed how good life feels. Before I always felt tired, overworked, overwhelmed, no one helps or understands me, … I think I was depressed looking back, and I did not even know it. It was my normal back then. Thank you doctors for teaching the way to health!
Say who?? I haven't consumed meat for 60 years. I'm just fine. Keep those fantastic videos going!! What you eat really matters. Most psychiatrists who study the brain don't do what this doctor is doing. FOOD IS MEDICINE. she is addressing nutrition for mental health. 23:22
I'm just about in tears. We just had an incident with an 11 year old who went completely of control for over an hour. It took four men to help keep him from hurting himself and others. I'm sharing this video in the hope that this child's mother will find hope and help. 😢 Thank you both!
When I was working in a clinic as a Vision Therapis a psychologist told me about a ‘violent’ young teen who RAGED due to a brain-allergy to …. even ONE slice of an ORANGE. Test for allergies !!!
100% T&P from the VA, I have had a slow and steady decine in mental health for about 18 years. I've tried medications, DBT, CBT, written exposure therapy, guilt/shame counseling, exposure therapy and many different meds. NOTHING WORKS in its entirety, nothing. For 18 long years seeing therapists, group therapy, medical professionals, and pastors never once was I approached with this by any professional, and these people have master's, and doctorates degrees.. im baffled, is my next route, I won't live to see 50 at this rate. I'll report back in a few months, see what carnivore or at least deep Keto does for me. Thank you so much Dr. BERRY and Dr. Ede.
Thank you for sharing your story. I'm so happy for you that you are willing to try different eating to see the result for yourself. I don't know what you have been eating while having problems you have been describing. I had a friend that I wasn't able to convince to come back to eating meat and fat again Over the 25 years I had seen her mental decline as she went vegetarian first and then strict vegan. OMG, her mood swings, panic attacks and paranoia made her very difficult to be around as she was so antisocial. She decided to be vegan for health reasons, and totally lost her mind. She couldn't keep a job, no one could stand being close to her any more and she was so suspicious of other people's malicious behaviour towards her that she ended up all by herself. Veganism 'consumed' my friend's brain and her sanity. It was a tragedy for anyone close to Elena to watch her decline. At the same time, I am very happy for you that you are willing to test for yourself a different type of eating and see the results. I hope it's going well for you and that you might post an update on how things are for you now. All the best to you!
Georgia Ede, I'm so glad I found you about a month ago. You have given me hope and encouragement to overcome decades of mental sickness. I have tried so many diets and protocols throughout my life, so many different supplements which has cost me a fortune. I'd love to share my story with you at some point. I was on citalopram for 18 years, just made me more functional but did nothing for my soul and didn't allow any healing. I am 1 week into carnivore after 2 on keto. Early days I know, but even so there are days when I see hope and possibility, albeit briefly. I'm 51 and felt off since a teen. Not sure how I made it here. Just wanted you to know that your book is great and you've kept me believing. Sometimes I'm not consumed with death and darkness. Sometimes I feel a newness I can't explain. I would love to tell you my story one day. You are saving and have saved so many. I do hope one of them is me.
Just bought your book! 📕 I am SO excited to start this journey! Couldn’t be better timing! I’m 39, history of mental illness for most my life, misdiagnosed with depression and anxiety. Just found out a few weeks ago that I’m actually bipolar 2 and adhd. And it makes SENSE! If I really think about it, these diagnosis make sense for everything about me in my life. So many emotions with this at my age being diagnosed. I have been SO SCARED of starting lithium and/or lamotragine! I told my psych Dr I needed to really think about this bc these meds are no joke from what I’ve researched. I have NOT started them! I’m also 6 months sober from alcohol! Have struggled with alcohol for 20 years off n on. I finally feel I am in the perfect place in my life and READY to start my healing journey! I am on day 2 of carnivore! Pray for me! I feel like God led me to this carnivore diet when He did for a reason! To spare me from years of pain and agony from going on heavy drugs! THANK YOU BOTH! I cannot WAIT to read your book! Tears of joy! This path just feels right!
UPDATE! I am over 2 months in of eating carnivore with zero cheat whatsoever! I have consumed a few plants here n there but I am mostly all animal products. I eat OMAD. I bought a GKI keto meter and I test my glucose/ketones often. I am in a constant state of high therapeutic ketosis. I. FEEL. AMAZING. The first few weeks was pretty rough just with the adaptation period, not sleeping, RLS, etc. BUT…then it got SOOOO GOOD!! I sleep like a baby, I’ve had NO mental health issues whatsoever! Not been depressed in the slightest, no anxiety, no bipolar episodes! SOOO much energy! I also started doing ice baths! This is the best I have ever been in my 39 years of life. I WILL NEVER GO BACK! Carnivore is my medication and new way of life! Thank you Lord!!! Please stick with this you guys! IT WORKS!!
So happy to hear about your progress. Getting sober from alcohol is huge in itself. Alcohol was masking a lot of your mental health symptoms. Blessings on your journey
Great information! One of your best interviews Dr Berry! Anxiety takes the joy out of life. Only those who have suffered with it can identify! Obsessive thinking is exhaustive!
Dr Ede’s compassionate way of exploring ways to reach people who are currently choosing plant based diet, validating them, and meeting them where they are, lovely to hear her elaborate on this
It took 9 years to wean my son off ssris prescribed to him at 10 years old. We did it with keto. I pray that the ssris did not do any long term damage.
Hazza! I went keto and now carnivore for my hypoglycemia, IR and prediabetes. All reversing after 40 yrs of dealing with it. It is working very very well. I can have small bouts of depression (not debilatating but measurable), mental stress, anxiety, and hadnt entertained that the diet would impact this in any way. I own and run my own company and assumed this went with that territroy. Well, this way of eating does impact all this. My stress levels are down, anxiet down and amazingly my emotional where with all has got very level, no real highs or lows. My brain fog also alleviated. Keep bringing this info to main stream, much needed.
Dr Ede, speaks from a place of care and not judgement. I’ve been eating carnivore for a few weeks only and my mood improving. I feel like maybe there is actually some hope and may not suffer in my mind forever. Thank you ❤
Saved to watch tonight, but you nailed it with that first line. Living with crippling anxiety for 20 years has caused me to lose hope. 4 months of carnivore hasn’t helped much on that front yet, but, I have been under a LOT of extra stress these past 6 months due to the health reasons that lead me to finding this way of eating.
@@stellaancimer8505 I’m not sure how to describe it. It just makes living extremely uncomfortable. Like I’m about to be hit by an invisible bus I’m trying to jump out of the way of 24/7.
Also consider eating more butter and other healthy fats. . Breast milk is full of cholesterol for a reason. The human brain needs it. Yet we have been starving our brains of it for over half a century. Notice how autism seems to show up about the same time babies get wheened. And how it increased around the same time as the lipid hypothesis.
Love your work dr Berry. And have to say, you have taught us that, in the first instance, do not blindly trust your doctor and definitely not the government's health recommendations.
In the 40s they were starting to talk about the twenty year shadow effect. Twenty years after seed oils enter a populations diet heart attacks and strokes increase. About that time an unknown charity got millions from the food industry. The American Heart Association
Awesome interview!! Mental illness in my family goes back generations on my mother’s side. My mother spent 30 years in nursing homes, and died there in 2017 at age 93. Psychiatric medications prescribed for her had horrific effects, both mentally and physically. My grandmother had a lobotomy in 1940 for depression. I’m so thankful for Dr Ede. It’s obvious she truly cares. Many thanks to both of you, Dr Berry.
I have been on SSRI's for decades. I got off of them because they made me worse. Ive taken lorazepam for about 5 years now. Currently getting off of it with my doctor. Low carb diet has helped a lot. Im going to try carnivore.
47yo male, diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder Type 1 in my early 20’s. It’s true that hope is hard to find with traditional pharmaceutical treatments. They keep me steady but not thriving to the extent I know is possible. Thank you for sharing these out of the box approaches.
I was vegetarian, then vegan for 6 years and not only did I not lose any weight, during that last year I suffered 5 months on ongoing panic attacks. My life completely shut down and I was living in a hellish nightmare. I thought I was literally going crazy and wanted to die. I snapped one day and went to 2 different fast food places and ordered the fattiest meat they had and ate it like a starving Neanderthal. I then started crying that I was a failure, threw up and guess what? My panic attacks stopped. I went back to eating meat, but still knew I didn’t feel good because my gut health was awful and my weight wouldn’t budge. I’ve been strict carnivore for a month now and I will never go back. I wouldn’t wish panic attacks on my worst enemy, let alone months of it nonstop.
Wow Love it😂😂 ate it like a Neanderthal 😂😂. I accidently went off my ssris of 15yrs cold Turkey!! Omg my side effects from the meds were gone in several days!! I never knew my No sex drive, insomnia, dizziness, blurry vision and NO EMOTION at all was all from the SSRis!!! Omg my doctor never told me any of these side effects 😮😮.. best accident I ever made...
Thank you for sharing your story. I'm so happy for you! It makes me sad though at the same time that I wasn't able to convince my best friend at the time, to come back to eating meat. Over the 25 years I had seen her mental decline as she went vegetarian and then strict vegan. OMG, her mood swings, panic attacks and paranoia made her very difficult to be around as she was so antisocial. She decided to be vegan for health reasons, and totally lost her mind. She couldn't keep a job, no one could stand being close to her any more and she was so suspicious of other people's malicious behaviour towards her that she ended up all by herself. Veganism 'consumed' my friend's brain and her sanity. It was a tragedy for anyone close to Elena to watch her decline. At the same time, I am very happy for you that you managed to connect the dots and that you had pulled through and thriving now! It's so difficult to talk to other vegans about it as it feels as if they are in some ideological cult of self righteous ways of eating and feel special about it. All the best to you!
Also watch Dr Ede's interview by Dr Chaffee . Thank you again Dr Berry, you all are literally saving lives, improving people's health without aweful side effects , without expensive unaffordable gimmicks... This is real empowering to take snd monitor your own health and the health of your love ones effectively one day at a time. My heroes, God bless❤
Thank you for this interview!! The MAIN reason I started with this WOE is because my daddy died after 9 years with dementia and I want to avoid the same fate!! Started with Ketovore In January 2023 and transitioned to Carnivore in May 2023!
I bought this book and it is amazing!!! She does a great job explaining and teaching!!! The information is well thought out and it has been filling the gaps in information from other thought leaders in this space.
I’ve had anxiety , panic attacks, depression off and on entire life and only got worse after traumatic brain injury 12 years ago . I have a service animal and have 40 pounds to lose and I’m menopausal . I gain up grains and all vegetables first and i immediately felt a difference ❤ the sugar addiction is real ! The gut die off healing is miserable but i started feeling better eating more meat eggs butter w/ small amounts of fruit and full fat lactose free dairy within 48 hours I felt a difference major changes for the better !
Thank you, Dr. Berry. For your service in providing free, life changing, medical information to the public. I'll try to apply this information to those around me who still suffer.
I learn so much from both of you. I really thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am 45 years old and have suffered from mental and physical problems most of my life. In the last few months I started switching to a ketogenic diet and for the first time in several years I see a light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart
Awesome, understandable information. Thank you both! I’m an old fart, 73 y.o. female, and still willing to learn. I decided to go full steam ahead and am just finishing my 1st week on Carnivore… . quite a transition from many years Whole Food Plant Based believing that was the way to go. My health issues told me differently and why I dug deep to research keto/carnivore. Already amazed to see the inflammation in my hands and arms have lessened! Can hardly wait to see more incredible benefits … maybe my depression, psoriasis, T2 diabetes, and severe arthritis will improve!
I wish I'd seen this on time so I could have asked my question live. I've suffered from a rigorous form of OCD for over 20 years now-, then medicated and on a cocktail of psychotropics since 2004 (I'll be 39 this August). Currently i'm on Pristiq and Rexulti. The tic-like compulsions began for me after I was put on those dreaded antidepressants-- I've made the connection. All I've gotten out of these meds is a hyper-appetite and obesity, and an unnatural biological dependence. I cannot come off them but I cannot get to a place of even remote mental normalcy. I've tried to get on keto/carnivore but can't seem get myself started. Honestly, I have little hope left. I don't think I'll ever derail myself to the point of being hospitalized, but I loathe the prospect of being saddled with this maddening dysfunction for the rest of my life. I've already wasted all of my youth because of mental illness and food addiction. My prospects for the future appear bleak. 😞
Dr. Eades method is all about hope. Don’t give up. What if it took a year or two? Buy her book. Read it and implement her strategies very slowly. Find a community like Dr Berrys private group who will give support. He has many playlists about starting on keto/carnivore.
I have OCD too - a channel you may have encountered before called OCD Recovery has really helped me. If yoh havent seen it, then please go there and listen. In terms of diet, how about we do it together?
This is one of the best interviews I've seen with Dr. Ede. Thank you for asking great questions! And, thank you, Dr. Ede for answering in a way that is so encouraging and hopeful. This is a book that will be added to my reading list and may end up on the doorstep of many of my family members. I will share this video as well. Again, thank you both for all you do to help others heal.❤❤❤
Dr Ken Berry... @16:28 - yes, compassion iz important, proper and tended wellness sustainability iz also and plants are poisonous-- most animals know this and it's why they offer food in such quality and quality...
L-theanine is 100% miracle for me 200 mg a.m. 200 mg p.m. and sometimes at bedtime 200.mg also eating carnivore change my life after 40 years of suffering with anxiety, 🤠
Dr. Ede is a gift 🎁 to humanity. The research and explanations in her book are solid. The writing is fantastic and it’s laid out clearly. I loved it. 🎉
Dr. Berry...we need to collaborate to improve childhood nutrition here in Tennessee and try to positively impact mental health in the coming generations. @WilliamByrdMD
Amen! I live in Tennessee and it’s absolutely heartbreaking to me to look around at the majority of children in our state. School lunches are a total joke and it seems like any mainstream discussion of proper nutrition is nonexistent.
I give thanks daily that i found all these terrific docs late 2021 and then plunged into Carnivore on new years day 2022. 25 ½ months ago. Absolutely incredible.
I have proper human instincts and I can tell Dr Ede is the real deal, extremely knowledgeable and calm in the delivery of that knowledge. Instant trust. Thank you both of you 🙏💙
I am so grateful for all the work you and your team are doing! I 100% feel so great on this diet, and my quality of life has just improved so much! Thank you again!
Dr. Berry talks about his ADHD and Dr. Georgia Ede mentioned ongoing clinical trials on various mental illnesses including ADHD. Although I’ve searched extensively I couldn’t find any study done on humans doing ketogenic diet to reduce ADHD symptoms (there are only small animal studies done on mice and dogs) Would be wonderful if you can do a dedicated video on effects of ketogenic/carnivore diet on ADHD symptoms and would be great to hear your experience Dr. Berry.
Dr Berry and his guests are always on point with great information. Best Dr I have had the pleasure to take advice from. His advice is free and the best part it works. ❤
I'm 71 years old.. I suffer from complex PTSD and then probably on the spectrum... From age 24 ..I had major chronic depression..I was hospitalized 9 times and given a plethora of meds from age 24 to 55..with horrific side effects from some..one almost landed me in prison when my mom made a suicide attempt... I was acting so weird the police thought I tried to kill my mom... I quit taking all prescription meds.. shortly after that..... Doctors have no idea what some of these drugs do to your mind.. I had thoughts that I would never repeat out loud to anyone... Today and for the last 17 ish years I only medicated myself with cannabis..and unfortunately sometimes alcohol.. I did carnivore for 3weeks in November no alcohol..I felt great..but fell off on Thanksgiving..and been unable to get back..due to an "episode " of mental health crisis.. after being threatened...a trigger to my explosive anger takes over my body..it's very debilitating...I hope this program will motivate me to try harder...I am very tired.
Such an important & necessary podcast! Love Dr. Berry and Dr. Ede! Life changing physicians!! I need to start keto diet.. I have been depressed most all of my life. I've triedmany rounds of therapy & medication. I hate all that.. curious to try keto.
@jody green My husband and I worked with our PCP last year to get off venlafaxine. We weaned slowly under her guidance. It was challenging, but we did it and are now pharmaceutical free :) I would not try to wean off without physician guidance
I have just discovered her recently and I'm fascinated by her insights into diet and mental health, she's a great speaker as well. I'll probably buy a copy of her book!
I love the carnivore diet. It has helped with swelling of my joints, arthritis pain is gone, my ankle swelling is gone, I have a sense of well being mentally. What I’m tackling now is horrible heartburn. I’m on an acid blocker otc medication. Nothing seems to help.
I can relate to your situation. Am struggling with severe acid reflux and silent reflux on ketovore … My hiatal hernia is likely the cause. Can’t get off the PPI …
For what it's worth to you.....I saw on a few different doctor/chiropractor TH-cam channels, that Acid Reflux is actually from LOW ACID! I think it's similar to how you have excess moisture in eyes, when you have dry eyes. My eye doctor says with dry eye you overproduce moisture. Dr. Berg indicated to use large quantities of Betaine HCL. One channel says to do 1 Betaine HCL with each meal (middle to end of meal). I started this about a month ago & still took the full Acid Reflux medicine at a different time. After a week or so, I bought a pill cutter & divided the dose in half. I'm still doing a half dose & will start taking 1/4 dose in a few weeks. It gone great! If you eat something that causes esophageal pain - take a little extra. Be very careful if you have an ulcer or if you're on an anti inflammatory (like ibuprofen). Ask your doctor.
@@carolinenachtrab4357 Yes, when the stomach acidity is low due to pills like that, the food does not digest quickly and fully in your stomach. It sits there and starts to ferment like a vat of grain brewing beer. Fermentation causes that bubbling up of the acid but it's not due to too much acid.
Among tons of other things, the carnivore diet has enabled me not to wake up angry, which I haven't experienced in about 20 years. Plus, it's helped my overall mental well-being. Huge improvement.
I could not be more exited that this is being talked about! Thank you! I plan to go to her website to use her directory to see if I can locate a Dr near me who can support me in my carnivore journey as pertains to depression. I take two meds and am wondering how my 3 week carnivore adventure so far might change my dependence and dosage.
I love the way Dr. Berry respects his guests and allows them to speak.
I just started carnivore for my severe mental health conditions. I’ve toyed with it for a while and have already seen DRAMATIC improvements. Im down three medications. I’m buckled down now and in it for the long haul. I have a story and I can’t wait to tell it. I’m SO GLAD you both are on board and sharing this information. I’ve lost so many friends including my best friend who left this world this past Halloween. I’ve been chasing help at all costs for 5 years, hundreds of thousands on treatment plans, medication, residential facilities… i have only gotten way worse since I have tried to find help. Polydrugged. Our mental “healthcare” system has beyond failed us. Thank God for Dr. Ken Berry sharing this science… it’s saved my life.
So glad you're improving.
When you first started doing it did you have any symptoms? When I’ve tried it in the beginning I go through a lot of pain and I’m wondering if that’s because bad bacteria are dying off. Thank you
@@jdown442 with anything I do, I go “low and slow.” I give myself ample time to acclimate to lower levels of carbs. I’ve been gradually decreasing for about a year.

@jdown442 yes, that is exactly what that is. It is also your body detoxing. Stay with it! It will go away and you will be glad you did!
I’m so glad you found Carnivore and that you are improving. The best is yet to come. There are days that I can’t believe how well I feel. When I stray away from Carnivore, my mental health suffers. So stay on the path.
I was in a severe depression and getting sober. My Dr. Had me taking at most 19 pills a day... I got sober on my own and then felt a drastic improvement I wanted to come off meds. He asked why. I told him. He said he felt they were working so he wanted to leave everything as it was. Well I took myself off everything one at a time. And then never went back. Now 41 sober and rx free!!!!!
Love this! Way to go!
Ah poor doc, he couldn't make money off you anymore 😢
I am sooooo proud of you! I am totally fed up with docs and especially the pharmas!!!! Been in research for 30 years. We try to CURE nothing!!! God bless you and your life.🙏🙏🙏😁
Sounds like you made your own placebo and that is believing yourself! Way to go! 🙌
That's an amazing testimony...so proud of you....woohoo 🎉
Dr Berry is a gift to humanity
Absolutely!
So is Dr. Ede.
Yes!
You don’t need to be a doctor to understand that an unhealthy diet is not good for your health.
@@SuperZimpatico No, but you need a doctor who understands what a healthy diet is in the 1st place. Most doctors don't know squat about nutrition & the proper human diet -- that's why there are so many Vegans out there. And most doctors will tell you that the Carnivore diet will give you heart disease, which is a lie. Without access to a knowledgeable doctor, it's hard to make the switch to Carnivore.
I am lucky to live in Swedish Lapland. I eat elk and raindeer which are animals roaming free and feeding in a natural way. Feels healthy and ethically best choice.

Lucky you! My elderly dad loves to hunt and he got 4 white tail deer this year (on his own land, legally) and my husband and I helped him
Process the meat. I ate venison sausage for breakfast today. Yum!
That's amazing!
Fabulous
Can I come live there? Glad Sweden had No lockdowns...😂😂
The brain is a organ. A good diet is good for all organs. I can fully understand that a good diet helps the brain!
Dr Ede seems so compassionate. Not just knowledge sharing but her expressions.
She is such a nice person. I've talked with her several times at conferences. She is generous with her time and attention. She actually cares.
I’ve spoken to her in person recently at a conference as well and I can say she’s the most compassionate and empathetic psychiatrist I’ve ever met. And I’ve known too many to count. None have ever given me their undivided attention like she did. She is a true gem of a human being. Smart and kind. Very grateful for her and her work. Her book is excellent as well. A must-read.
@@robinbeers6689 I wished I could have worked with people like her in my pharmacy career.
❤❤❤
I read Dr Ede’s book, it’s fantastic! I’m a pharmacist and suffer from MDD, on meds 35yrs. I never imagined diet could have such a dramatic effect. I’m awake! I’m enthusiastic about the day. I have brain energy!
I am a retired pharmacist and I have observed that pharmacy practice has a lot of stresses and circumstances that challenge ones mental health. I am glad you are doing well!
Looking forward to getting off sertraline and buspirone in due time.
Oh my gosh, I love this doctor. She just commented that she listens to her patients….thank you Dr.Ede! Thank goodness my experience with antidepressants was monitored by a great psychiatrist within the Los Angeles County mental health department.
Every neurologist should be reading this book.
My mother took statin drugs for 15 years because she had high cholesterol and she ended up with Dementia by the time she was 78. I also have high Cholesterol its 270 but I have clean arteries and a strong heart no plaque at all and Im lean. Every Doctor I went to wanted me on Statins but they upset my liver and caused liver pain. I knew it was not for me. and I was only in my early 40's at that time. Now I am 66, and I have clear arteries no plague a strong heart and a sharp mind. Im not making the same mistake my mom did. My mom lived to 90 with a cholesterol level of over 350. Its a shame the statins drugs destroyed her brain. She would have had a happier life. I will not make the same mistake. Ive been eating a very low carb high fat/protein diet now and feel amazing.
This is excellent!! I am a psychotherapist and nutritionist/ health counselor! This is exactly the philosophy of my counseling- and my own lifestyle, along with daily meditation and exercise in my own life! Have been therapist almost 53 years! So glad to glad to hear a psychiatrist who does not push psychotropics!
Hooray for psychotherapist-nutritionist-health counselors! What a great combination:)
Saw her interview with chaffee yesterday. This one is also great Ken. Your channel is a goldmine of nutritional wisdom.
Prior to starting the ketogenic diet January 2024 I had never heard of a connection between mental health and diet. But, my first reaction to how I felt after changing my diet was wow, I’m no longer so sad.
🎉
That is well said. Taking a junk food diet and sprinkling some "superfoods" on top is a very common trap.
@KenDBerryMD You are a kind of prophet who preaches the good word to save humanity from diseases that were considered incurable like diabetes. You save their eyesight, their feet, their kidneys...their lives! God bless you!
The story about the mom who was hospitalized every year for forty years and recovered in weeks on a Keto diet is testimony to how resilient the human body and mind can be!! Wow !
How is she doing now! Does keto still help her?
Georgia Ede is a true leader, and has a very sound approach to healing disorders of the brain. Her book is brilliant.
💐
Check out also Dr Chris Palmer. He & Dr Ede are leading the charge on diet’s connection to mental health, brain health. Carbs are killers.
I had major depression during the pandemic, with a gain of 100 pounds, I started ketovore/carnivore and also psychotherapy, the results in 10 months are very positive, mentally 85% better, weight loss of 110 pounds, readjustment of medication for pressure and soon anti depressant, food plays a major role.
Have you also looked into cold water swimming for depression!! It works🎉😊
@@frankvinti925 how wonderful!
Good morning from fellow MD-OEM Athens, Greece. I just returned to this video, because I was just talking to a patient of mine, who was diagnosed with "stress disorder" and put on Cymbalta, instead of counsulting her on how to handle a narcissistic mother and an abusive husband.
I startet Keto/Ketovore to solve other issues. But a few months in I suddenly noticed how good life feels. Before I always felt tired, overworked, overwhelmed, no one helps or understands me, … I think I was depressed looking back, and I did not even know it. It was my normal back then. Thank you doctors for teaching the way to health!
Say who?? I haven't consumed meat for 60 years. I'm just fine. Keep those fantastic videos going!! What you eat really matters. Most psychiatrists who study the brain don't do what this doctor is doing. FOOD IS MEDICINE. she is addressing nutrition for mental health. 23:22
I'm just about in tears. We just had an incident with an 11 year old who went completely of control for over an hour. It took four men to help keep him from hurting himself and others. I'm sharing this video in the hope that this child's mother will find hope and help. 😢 Thank you both!
When I was working in a clinic as a Vision Therapis a psychologist told me about a ‘violent’ young teen who RAGED due to a brain-allergy to …. even ONE slice of an ORANGE.
Test for allergies !!!
A child in my daughter's grade 3 class in the 90s. Use to go crazy. At least once a week the class ended up in the hallway because of him.
100% T&P from the VA, I have had a slow and steady decine in mental health for about 18 years. I've tried medications, DBT, CBT, written exposure therapy, guilt/shame counseling, exposure therapy and many different meds. NOTHING WORKS in its entirety, nothing. For 18 long years seeing therapists, group therapy, medical professionals, and pastors never once was I approached with this by any professional, and these people have master's, and doctorates degrees.. im baffled, is my next route, I won't live to see 50 at this rate.
I'll report back in a few months, see what carnivore or at least deep Keto does for me.
Thank you so much Dr. BERRY and Dr. Ede.
Best wishes on this journey! It works!
How are you getting on? Hope things have improved for you 🙏
Thank you for sharing your story. I'm so happy for you that you are willing to try different eating to see the result for yourself. I don't know what you have been eating while having problems you have been describing.
I had a friend that I wasn't able to convince to come back to eating meat and fat again Over the 25 years I had seen her mental decline as she went vegetarian first and then strict vegan. OMG, her mood swings, panic attacks and paranoia made her very difficult to be around as she was so antisocial. She decided to be vegan for health reasons, and totally lost her mind. She couldn't keep a job, no one could stand being close to her any more and she was so suspicious of other people's malicious behaviour towards her that she ended up all by herself. Veganism 'consumed' my friend's brain and her sanity. It was a tragedy for anyone close to Elena to watch her decline. At the same time, I am very happy for you that you are willing to test for yourself a different type of eating and see the results. I hope it's going well for you and that you might post an update on how things are for you now. All the best to you!
@@MsSmellybob update?
❤ wishing you much success in your healing journey
Georgia Ede, I'm so glad I found you about a month ago. You have given me hope and encouragement to overcome decades of mental sickness. I have tried so many diets and protocols throughout my life, so many different supplements which has cost me a fortune. I'd love to share my story with you at some point. I was on citalopram for 18 years, just made me more functional but did nothing for my soul and didn't allow any healing.
I am 1 week into carnivore after 2 on keto. Early days I know, but even so there are days when I see hope and possibility, albeit briefly. I'm 51 and felt off since a teen. Not sure how I made it here. Just wanted you to know that your book is great and you've kept me believing. Sometimes I'm not consumed with death and darkness. Sometimes I feel a newness I can't explain. I would love to tell you my story one day. You are saving and have saved so many. I do hope one of them is me.
I hope so too ❤
Just bought your book! 📕 I am SO excited to start this journey! Couldn’t be better timing! I’m 39, history of mental illness for most my life, misdiagnosed with depression and anxiety. Just found out a few weeks ago that I’m actually bipolar 2 and adhd. And it makes SENSE! If I really think about it, these diagnosis make sense for everything about me in my life. So many emotions with this at my age being diagnosed. I have been SO SCARED of starting lithium and/or lamotragine! I told my psych Dr I needed to really think about this bc these meds are no joke from what I’ve researched. I have NOT started them! I’m also 6 months sober from alcohol! Have struggled with alcohol for 20 years off n on. I finally feel I am in the perfect place in my life and READY to start my healing journey! I am on day 2 of carnivore! Pray for me! I feel like God led me to this carnivore diet when He did for a reason! To spare me from years of pain and agony from going on heavy drugs! THANK YOU BOTH! I cannot WAIT to read your book! Tears of joy! This path just feels right!
UPDATE! I am over 2 months in of eating carnivore with zero cheat whatsoever! I have consumed a few plants here n there but I am mostly all animal products. I eat OMAD. I bought a GKI keto meter and I test my glucose/ketones often. I am in a constant state of high therapeutic ketosis. I. FEEL. AMAZING. The first few weeks was pretty rough just with the adaptation period, not sleeping, RLS, etc. BUT…then it got SOOOO GOOD!! I sleep like a baby, I’ve had NO mental health issues whatsoever! Not been depressed in the slightest, no anxiety, no bipolar episodes! SOOO much energy! I also started doing ice baths! This is the best I have ever been in my 39 years of life. I WILL NEVER GO BACK! Carnivore is my medication and new way of life! Thank you Lord!!! Please stick with this you guys! IT WORKS!!
@@rebekahjoy7921Amazing to hear! So happy for you!!!🎉
@@rebekahjoy7921THRILLED for your success! Great that you followed thru. It takes a lot to change! Especially when not feeling well
So happy to hear about your progress. Getting sober from alcohol is huge in itself. Alcohol was masking a lot of your mental health symptoms. Blessings on your journey
Wow, thanks for sharing, so great for you 🎉😊 and so encouraging to read your story.
Great information! One of your best interviews Dr Berry! Anxiety takes the joy out of life. Only those who have suffered with it can identify! Obsessive thinking is exhaustive!
I have health anxiety and yes it's awful, I'm one month in on Carnivore! Can't wait to see relief
I love that you let the guest speak without interruption.
Dr Ede’s compassionate way of exploring ways to reach people who are currently choosing plant based diet, validating them, and meeting them where they are, lovely to hear her elaborate on this
It took 9 years to wean my son off ssris prescribed to him at 10 years old. We did it with keto. I pray that the ssris did not do any long term damage.
How is your son? Does diet still help him?
Hazza! I went keto and now carnivore for my hypoglycemia, IR and prediabetes. All reversing after 40 yrs of dealing with it. It is working very very well. I can have small bouts of depression (not debilatating but measurable), mental stress, anxiety, and hadnt entertained that the diet would impact this in any way. I own and run my own company and assumed this went with that territroy. Well, this way of eating does impact all this. My stress levels are down, anxiet down and amazingly my emotional where with all has got very level, no real highs or lows. My brain fog also alleviated. Keep bringing this info to main stream, much needed.
Wow! Let the progress continue! As a person whose mental health has improved. I’m amazed! I can’t wait to see the future of mental health.
Dr Ede, speaks from a place of care and not judgement. I’ve been eating carnivore for a few weeks only and my mood improving.
I feel like maybe there is actually some hope and may not suffer in my mind forever. Thank you ❤
I will be going to the library soon and ask them to get the book.
Thank you Amanda--that will help everyone in the community access it if they are interested!
I just ordered your book, but my daughter works for a library and she says patrons can request books. I am going to request your book.
Thank you Doctors for all your work and time. You are deeply appreciated 🙏🏼
Saved to watch tonight, but you nailed it with that first line. Living with crippling anxiety for 20 years has caused me to lose hope. 4 months of carnivore hasn’t helped much on that front yet, but, I have been under a LOT of extra stress these past 6 months due to the health reasons that lead me to finding this way of eating.
@carnivoreprime what kind of anxiety do you have, how does it shows? 😊
Make sure you're also getting Vitamin D, I take 10,000 IU every day. Add K2 as well for calcium handling.
@@stellaancimer8505 I’m not sure how to describe it. It just makes living extremely uncomfortable. Like I’m about to be hit by an invisible bus I’m trying to jump out of the way of 24/7.
@@flywesleybyrd thank you, I just started this so great to hear it may help with crippling anxiety.
Also consider eating more butter and other healthy fats. . Breast milk is full of cholesterol for a reason. The human brain needs it. Yet we have been starving our brains of it for over half a century.
Notice how autism seems to show up about the same time babies get wheened. And how it increased around the same time as the lipid hypothesis.
One of the best interviews ever. Well worth the time. Consider sharing this gift with others.
Sometimes we have to take responsibility of our health into our own hands.. if doctor say no.. just do what you believe.. after all it's your body
I was depressed didn’t wanna do RX tried Tons of supplements they helped very little
Tried carnivore it was a game. Changer!!!!!
Absolutely beautiful interview. Very important subject. I will rewatch later.
Love your work dr Berry. And have to say, you have taught us that, in the first instance, do not blindly trust your doctor and definitely not the government's health recommendations.
Dr. Berry is a National Treasure! Thank you!
In the 40s they were starting to talk about the twenty year shadow effect. Twenty years after seed oils enter a populations diet heart attacks and strokes increase. About that time an unknown charity got millions from the food industry. The American Heart Association
Wow! Not suprising…..
Awesome interview!! Mental illness in my family goes back generations on my mother’s side. My mother spent 30 years in nursing homes, and died there in 2017 at age 93. Psychiatric medications prescribed for her had horrific effects, both mentally and physically. My grandmother had a lobotomy in 1940 for depression. I’m so thankful for Dr Ede. It’s obvious she truly cares. Many thanks to both of you, Dr Berry.
This is a truly profound interview. A game-changer. Thank you.
Thank you both from Holland❤. It has been a thirty year vegetarian struggle. Finally an answer!
I have been on SSRI's for decades. I got off of them because they made me worse. Ive taken lorazepam for about 5 years now. Currently getting off of it with my doctor. Low carb diet has helped a lot. Im going to try carnivore.
Thank you Dr Berry and your guest Dr Ede what a wonderful caring compassionate human being
May God continue protecting you both and your families
47yo male, diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder Type 1 in my early 20’s.
It’s true that hope is hard to find with traditional pharmaceutical treatments.
They keep me steady but not thriving to the extent I know is possible.
Thank you for sharing these out of the box approaches.
I was vegetarian, then vegan for 6 years and not only did I not lose any weight, during that last year I suffered 5 months on ongoing panic attacks.
My life completely shut down and I was living in a hellish nightmare.
I thought I was literally going crazy and wanted to die.
I snapped one day and went to 2 different fast food places and ordered the fattiest meat they had and ate it like a starving Neanderthal. I then started crying that I was a failure, threw up and guess what?
My panic attacks stopped.
I went back to eating meat, but still knew I didn’t feel good because my gut health was awful and my weight wouldn’t budge.
I’ve been strict carnivore for a month now and I will never go back.
I wouldn’t wish panic attacks on my worst enemy, let alone months of it nonstop.
Wow Love it😂😂 ate it like a Neanderthal 😂😂. I accidently went off my ssris of 15yrs cold Turkey!! Omg my side effects from the meds were gone in several days!! I never knew my No sex drive, insomnia, dizziness, blurry vision and NO EMOTION at all was all from the SSRis!!! Omg my doctor never told me any of these side effects 😮😮.. best accident I ever made...
Never Had any brain zaps!! Thank God.. was on zoloft 100mg 15yrs!! Yes I'm a grumpy bitch now but my memory I can NOW REMEMBER stuff!! Omg
Thank you for sharing your story. I'm so happy for you! It makes me sad though at the same time that I wasn't able to convince my best friend at the time, to come back to eating meat. Over the 25 years I had seen her mental decline as she went vegetarian and then strict vegan. OMG, her mood swings, panic attacks and paranoia made her very difficult to be around as she was so antisocial. She decided to be vegan for health reasons, and totally lost her mind. She couldn't keep a job, no one could stand being close to her any more and she was so suspicious of other people's malicious behaviour towards her that she ended up all by herself. Veganism 'consumed' my friend's brain and her sanity. It was a tragedy for anyone close to Elena to watch her decline. At the same time, I am very happy for you that you managed to connect the dots and that you had pulled through and thriving now! It's so difficult to talk to other vegans about it as it feels as if they are in some ideological cult of self righteous ways of eating and feel special about it. All the best to you!
@@beatakiziak7307Well summed up. I’ve seen this in many people also.
Also watch Dr Ede's interview by Dr Chaffee . Thank you again Dr Berry, you all are literally saving lives, improving people's health without aweful side effects , without expensive unaffordable gimmicks... This is real empowering to take snd monitor your own health and the health of your love ones effectively one day at a time. My heroes, God bless❤
It’s a wonderful audiobook. Very distressing when you realize how unborn and the young are being harmed by dietary dogma
Thank you for this interview!! The MAIN reason I started with this WOE is because my daddy died after 9 years with dementia and I want to avoid the same fate!! Started with Ketovore In January 2023 and transitioned to Carnivore in May 2023!
Sorry to hear about your dad 🙏 What changes have you seen by adopting a ketogenic diet?
I bought this book and it is amazing!!! She does a great job explaining and teaching!!! The information is well thought out and it has been filling the gaps in information from other thought leaders in this space.
I'm so glad you like it so far and are finding it helpful! Really appreciate this feedback, thank you--means a lot!
Dr Ede is brilliant and so compassionate. Bless her. Thanks for sharing her work!
I’ve had anxiety , panic attacks, depression off and on entire life and only got worse after traumatic brain injury 12 years ago . I have a service animal and have 40 pounds to lose and I’m menopausal . I gain up grains and all vegetables first and i immediately felt a difference ❤ the sugar addiction is real ! The gut die off healing is miserable but i started feeling better eating more meat eggs butter w/ small amounts of fruit and full fat lactose free dairy within 48 hours I felt a difference major changes for the better !
Thank you, Dr. Berry. For your service in providing free, life changing, medical information to the public.
I'll try to apply this information to those around me who still suffer.
❤❤❤
❤❤❤ this one. My first time seeing this doctor interviewed. Her compassion and desire to see people heal is obvious.
I learn so much from both of you. I really thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am 45 years old and have suffered from mental and physical problems most of my life. In the last few months I started switching to a ketogenic diet and for the first time in several years I see a light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart
‘ hope is on the menu ‘ ...
marvellous to hear that said.

What about cold pressed olive oil? Not heated just to dip meat in?
Awesome, understandable information. Thank you both! I’m an old fart, 73 y.o. female, and still willing to learn. I decided to go full steam ahead and am just finishing my 1st week on Carnivore… . quite a transition from many years Whole Food Plant Based believing that was the way to go. My health issues told me differently and why I dug deep to research keto/carnivore. Already amazed to see the inflammation in my hands and arms have lessened! Can hardly wait to see more incredible benefits … maybe my depression, psoriasis, T2 diabetes, and severe arthritis will improve!
What a lovely human being Dr. Ede is! Thank you Dr. Berry for this wonderful interview. So inspiring. Ordering her book now!
I wish I'd seen this on time so I could have asked my question live. I've suffered from a rigorous form of OCD for over 20 years now-, then medicated and on a cocktail of psychotropics since 2004 (I'll be 39 this August). Currently i'm on Pristiq and Rexulti. The tic-like compulsions began for me after I was put on those dreaded antidepressants-- I've made the connection. All I've gotten out of these meds is a hyper-appetite and obesity, and an unnatural biological dependence. I cannot come off them but I cannot get to a place of even remote mental normalcy. I've tried to get on keto/carnivore but can't seem get myself started. Honestly, I have little hope left. I don't think I'll ever derail myself to the point of being hospitalized, but I loathe the prospect of being saddled with this maddening dysfunction for the rest of my life. I've already wasted all of my youth because of mental illness and food addiction. My prospects for the future appear bleak. 😞
Dr. Eades method is all about hope. Don’t give up. What if it took a year or two? Buy her book. Read it and implement her strategies very slowly. Find a community like Dr Berrys private group who will give support. He has many playlists about starting on keto/carnivore.
I have OCD too - a channel you may have encountered before called OCD Recovery has really helped me. If yoh havent seen it, then please go there and listen.
In terms of diet, how about we do it together?
Hello I am CJ author of the book "How I Took Control of my Mood Disorder" I love this video. Very informative. Thanks for sharing.
This is one of the best interviews I've seen with Dr. Ede. Thank you for asking great questions! And, thank you, Dr. Ede for answering in a way that is so encouraging and hopeful. This is a book that will be added to my reading list and may end up on the doorstep of many of my family members. I will share this video as well. Again, thank you both for all you do to help others heal.❤❤❤
excellent topic and interview. Dr Ede also has a lovely personality!
Thanks I will thank my Mom:)
Dr Ken Berry... @16:28 - yes, compassion iz important, proper and tended wellness sustainability iz also and plants are poisonous-- most animals know this and it's why they offer food in such quality and quality...
Dr. Berry, you’re such a great interviewer. This was fantastic. Thank you 🙏
L-theanine is 100% miracle for me 200 mg a.m. 200 mg p.m. and sometimes at bedtime 200.mg also eating carnivore change my life after 40 years of suffering with anxiety, 🤠
Dr. Ede is a gift 🎁 to humanity. The research and explanations in her book are solid. The writing is fantastic and it’s laid out clearly. I loved it. 🎉
❤❤❤ thank you to both of you for caring, many many thanks.
Dr. Berry...we need to collaborate to improve childhood nutrition here in Tennessee and try to positively impact mental health in the coming generations. @WilliamByrdMD
Great idea. Please contact him.
Amen! I live in Tennessee and it’s absolutely heartbreaking to me to look around at the majority of children in our state. School lunches are a total joke and it seems like any mainstream discussion of proper nutrition is nonexistent.
Will be sharing with all friends and family who need to hear this. Thx Doc's ❤
I give thanks daily that i found all these terrific docs late 2021 and then plunged into Carnivore on new years day 2022. 25 ½ months ago. Absolutely incredible.
Yey for Dr Ede! No more symptoms of bipolar. 6 years free of drugs!
Yay Julie!

Dr. Berry talks about his ADHD and Dr. Georgia Ede mentioned ongoing clinical trials on various mental illnesses including ADHD. Although I’ve searched extensively I couldn’t find any study done on humans doing ketogenic diet to reduce ADHD symptoms (there are only small animal studies done on mice and dogs)
Would be wonderful if you can do a dedicated video on effects of ketogenic/carnivore diet on ADHD symptoms and would be great to hear your experience Dr. Berry.
Often you may see reference to keto helping with 'brain fog' . Perhaps a less specific term for ADHD.
Dr Berry and his guests are always on point with great information. Best Dr I have had the pleasure to take advice from. His advice is free and the best part it works. ❤
I have been working in behavioral health for over 20 years and just came across this video. Love it! Going to buy Dr. Ede's book.
Thank you so much!
I use butter as a antidepressant
At least the tide is beginning to turn thanks to you enlightened people way to go 👏
I'm 71 years old.. I suffer from complex PTSD and then probably on the spectrum... From age 24 ..I had major chronic depression..I was hospitalized 9 times and given a plethora of meds from age 24 to 55..with horrific side effects from some..one almost landed me in prison when my mom made a suicide attempt... I was acting so weird the police thought I tried to kill my mom... I quit taking all prescription meds.. shortly after that..... Doctors have no idea what some of these drugs do to your mind.. I had thoughts that I would never repeat out loud to anyone... Today and for the last 17 ish years I only medicated myself with cannabis..and unfortunately sometimes alcohol.. I did carnivore for 3weeks in November no alcohol..I felt great..but fell off on Thanksgiving..and been unable to get back..due to an "episode " of mental health crisis.. after being threatened...a trigger to my explosive anger takes over my body..it's very debilitating...I hope this program will motivate me to try harder...I am very tired.
Goodness, you’ve been through so much 🤗 I hope you’ve been able to adopt this diet again, and have seen improvements 🙏
Stay away from cannabis and alcohol. They are source of explosive anger
I wish I could add captions/subtitles to this video in my native language and show to my family who struggles. Great info about mental health.
Dr Berry and Dr Ede, you are literally saving lives. Wish I had come across your content earlier. Thank you for your amazing work.
Such an important & necessary podcast! Love Dr. Berry and Dr. Ede! Life changing physicians!! I need to start keto diet.. I have been depressed most all of my life. I've triedmany rounds of therapy & medication. I hate all that.. curious to try keto.
@jody green My husband and I worked with our PCP last year to get off venlafaxine. We weaned slowly under her guidance. It was challenging, but we did it and are now pharmaceutical free :) I would not try to wean off without physician guidance
One of your all time best interviews Dr Berry.
Thank you for letting your guest speak and finish. Expert interviewer!
I bought the audible of this book!! Thanks! Great interview!!
Hope you find it useful, Cindy!
I did as well. If you make more audiobooks, I will purchase them all!! Blessings!
LOL!@@54yeshua46
I have just discovered her recently and I'm fascinated by her insights into diet and mental health, she's a great speaker as well. I'll probably buy a copy of her book!
I love the carnivore diet. It has helped with swelling of my joints, arthritis pain is gone, my ankle swelling is gone, I have a sense of well being mentally. What I’m tackling now is horrible heartburn. I’m on an acid blocker otc medication. Nothing seems to help.
Try eating a bit less fat.
I can relate to your situation. Am struggling with severe acid reflux and silent reflux on ketovore … My hiatal hernia is likely the cause. Can’t get off the PPI …
For what it's worth to you.....I saw on a few different doctor/chiropractor TH-cam channels, that Acid Reflux is actually from LOW ACID! I think it's similar to how you have excess moisture in eyes, when you have dry eyes. My eye doctor says with dry eye you overproduce moisture.
Dr. Berg indicated to
use large quantities of Betaine HCL. One channel says to do 1
Betaine HCL with each meal (middle to end of meal).
I started this about a month ago & still took the full Acid Reflux medicine
at a different time. After a week or so,
I bought a pill cutter & divided the dose in half. I'm still doing a half dose & will start taking 1/4 dose in a few weeks. It gone great!
If you eat something that causes esophageal pain - take a little extra.
Be very careful if you have an ulcer or if you're on an anti inflammatory (like ibuprofen).
Ask your doctor.
@@carolinenachtrab4357 Yes, when the stomach acidity is low due to pills like that, the food does not digest quickly and fully in your stomach. It sits there and starts to ferment like a vat of grain brewing beer. Fermentation causes that bubbling up of the acid but it's not due to too much acid.
I use apple cider vinegar for my acid reflux.
Among tons of other things, the carnivore diet has enabled me not to wake up angry, which I haven't experienced in about 20 years. Plus, it's helped my overall mental well-being. Huge improvement.
Amen. Fasting and praying helps mental help
I could not be more exited that this is being talked about! Thank you! I plan to go to her website to use her directory to see if I can locate a Dr near me who can support me in my carnivore journey as pertains to depression. I take two meds and am wondering how my 3 week carnivore adventure so far might change my dependence and dosage.
So quick break down what should we do?
1. Cut out refined carbs
2......
