@@KenDBerryMD Dr. Berry what is the next illness that may be in the future for someone with anxiety, depression, Thyroid numbers off (still in low normal range), PCOS, low energy, & back acne? It seems like the illnesses are compounding quickly. This person has started the Keto diet, but I do not want them to be discouraged or to add another illness to this list.
@@KenDBerryMD could you do a video about melasma? Love watching your videos, thank you for informing us all, it's shocking that so many things we have been taught about food is totally wrong!
KenDBerryMD you're right. I was having terrible acne before I regained strict keto. All over my collarbone region and upper chest and my face was covered with whiteheads and now the bumps are empty and shrinking down and many of them are totally gone
I am just second week on vegetarian keto and my face skin gets really worse. I will try to continue to rebuild my skin and hopefully that bad acne will go away...on low carb( mainly chickpes,beans..etc..) I had awesome shinning skin,but couldnt loose weight. I changed to vege keto and my skin is horrible...but I am loosing weight 😂😥
@a n t i m a t e r i a I think the other day I fixed the vitamins and it turned to be good choice. I have no acne peoblem anymore..I found very good stuff,it call "beer yeast" and its full of komplex B vitamins and good bacteria..
I was told the same thing. Years later, I eliminated dairy due to allergies and the impact on clearing my skin was significant. When I lay off of sugar, I see even a bigger improvement. Between those two items, I can pretty much have a fairly clear skin.
I'm wondering if adding bacon is doing this, because I'm having some acne. I did 3 weeks of transition and 4 weeks in complete carnivore now. I had little to no acne, but now been having some pretty big acne around my face in the last weeks.
When work coworkers noticed my weight loss I explained, keto When they noticed I was no longer limping. Keto The rosacea and occasion pimple now gone. Keto Weird little pimples on my shoulders gone. Keto Improved mood. Keto. Irritable bowel reversed. Keto Really great lab work. Keto Almost no mood swings, keto. I work with doctors, none of them believe it’s just diet change, even though they see me every day. Sigh ..... “that’s just a coincidence “ They can’t admit they are wrong.
According to the comments I read on one of his videos, gaining weight was the goal of someone who asked your question. It worked (he gained muscle) while feeling better than he ever had. The person did not give another details though.
I recently learned that the very coconut oil I now cook with is an excellent makeup remover and skin moisturizer for all types of skin. I also learned about witch hazel as a facial toner and gentle but effective way to zap skin bumps. I have been using 5 products religiously for a month since I wear makeup most days now. Results? Irritated facial skin with some pink blemishes. Stopped all of these expensive products and using the 2 mentioned above as well as the ketogenic diet. Excited to see what happens and save well over a hundred bucks a month on just skin care for my face.
My skin was so bad with acne I got picked on so bad and tried to take myself out of this world thankfully I survived I got on accutane and that helped he is right that when you have acne you have no confidence and you fall into depression at least that’s how it was for me
Cant agree more Dr. Ken. Love your analogy! I had acne since teenage years till last year, then I started doing Keto / Low carb diet and noticed that my acne subsided and eventually cleared. Been on Low Carb diet for a year now and somehow get only one pimple once in a while and mostly only during my period. I thought it was totally hopeless and yes definitely recommend this diet for its numerous benefits.
i approve this message. When i stopped eating junk (maybe once a month as a cheat meal), my acne got massively improved. It is something others noticed on me as well and i replied that i ve only changed my eating lifestyle. It really is worth having an excuse to cut on fast food, as it is the main reason we get diabetes , cancer etc.
Great content, I've been doing Keto for 2 months now and since i shaved a week ago, My acne didnt come back and i also noticed my face looks alot more clear/clean.
For those suffering from acne, also extra tips - colloidal silver spray and internally, and geen sunlight soap, doesnt need to cost much to cure acne 😁👌 no sugar/gluten 👌👌
I had sereve acne since I was 11 year old until age 35. I started avoiding snacks and carbohydrates and skipping breakfast, and today I no longer have acne. I wish I knew about it much sooner because I still have acne scars from having acne for 25 years 😢
In the Netherlands we have skin therapists. They can diminish the scars a lot. They use Technics like dry needling, acids. My sons skin has improved a lot. He is going there once a month.

@@cophater298 it’s cleared up. I took away the cream. The spots are still healing but they are not sore or inflamed. Sadly I loved the taste of cream in my coffee 😭
Grains and wheat caused acne for me. As soon as I completely cut them my skin clears up and fast. I can even digest dairy if I eat it occasionally when I am strict with a grain free diet. I still avoid dairy for the most part though.
Ty bro, I stop eating grains like 1 months ago, I didn't know why I still getting acne, it was hard because I am on bulk to gain muscle, but I am on healthy bulk I just don't understand why I still getting acne if I stop grains, I and sure it's beacuse I eat bread with peanut butter maybe is that I hope so
When I switched to keto, for the first 4 weeks, there were no noticeable skin differences. Then my skin was oily for a couple weeks, then itchy for a couple weeks. Then it settled down smooth and calm. Around the time of the month l still get one little zit, but I used to get 2 or 3 very inflamed zits.
Dr. Berry, I truly appreciate your humbleness and your honesty. Thank you for always helping us rethink what we have heard and "learned" throughout the years from doctors. Even though I'm about four weeks into the Keto way of eating, I'm breaking out around my chin. I searched for this video and I'm wondering what I could change. Thanks!
I am an L.E. and I agree. D.M.’s approach to acne is topical or oral antibiotics that can cause photosensitivity, dry skin, gut imbalance, and thinner skin. Accutane (Isotretinoins) which is banned in other countries are another extreme. The approach is not preventative and they do not deal with nutrition (androgen hormone in teens), OR skin care. I’ve had D.M.’s recommend alkaline soaps.(ph higher than 7... skins ph ranges 5 to 5.5 or 6 spectrum)!!!??? Fatty acids are a must and I’d been preaching EVO. The skin does digest it unlike other oils whose molecular structure is too large. EVO is full of vitamin E, it has oleic acids and is full of antioxidants (it’s a fruit) and it moisturizes the skin. It also can be used to pull other toxins, dirt and extra oils from your skin if used as a PRE cleanser/makeup remover, applying it with a tissue or soft cloth, then wiped away. EVO can also reverse UV damage. My skin literally craves it in the winter here in Chicago. I recommend it to all skin types, even acne/oil types in small amounts. All skin requires moisturizing. ALL!

Why Dermatologists don't understand that the problem is deeper, internal, related to diet, stress, lifestyle.

Thanks for the video, open my mind. Julia
Been on the diet for 4 wks and feel great. Acne on the other hand gotten worst. Bunch on red pimples on my back. Hoping is the body recalibrating itself or whatnkt otherwise i have to look at the cheese perhaps or the butter. Typically i have ouly akin so we shall see but the diet has been fantastic!!!!
Dr. Berry I've been eating Keto since July and my acne has cleared up but my skin is still dry. I'm concerned that my body isn't absorbing the oils that I am ingesting. Do you have any suggestions on what could be happening to me? thanks!
March 2 2019 ive watched this video, Im now going to eat fruits and vegetables and avoid high glycemic food like refined bread,soda,chocolate,cake ,candy I will exercise atleast 45minutes a day I will take a photo of my face,back,and chest to compare the difference within next 3 months Thank u doc,for the advice
I've been low carb for a year now, with many weeks of strict carnivore. I'm still getting small spots of acne. There's not much left to cut out. Could it be coffee, or heavy cream?
Been carnivore for three days now, good quality foods and having worse outbreaks than ever. Is there an acclimatising periods for the body? I thought it would be onwards and upwards. Been low carb keto for 6 months before but still haven’t inflammation on face and spots that won’t go away ever. Dermatologist helpfully doesn’t know what the spots are and food doesn’t have any affect on the skin. Not had deep fried foods or candy for months now. Give it time I know.
I am so disheartened as since I have started keto/low carb 8 moths ago, o developed acbe all over my face, neck, back and chest… it leaves really ugly marks and I’m already dreading the thought of summer cloths… I have always stayed clear of high fat dairy products before but, on this new life style, double cream and cheese are a go to on a daily basis almost. Could this be the reason why? I drink plenty of water with lemon and acv daily to flush my system and I don’t think this is my body adjusting as it has been 8 months now and pretty much my acne broke early on… might have to give up on this diet as I’m 41 and look like a teenager again…
Hell yes. Cut out all the dairy!!! Think bout it you’re drinking the milk of a female cow meant for her babies. Even butter you should also cut if you’re super sensitive. You can get plenty of fat from animal fats, good grassfed beef fat is the best.
I started Keto a month ago and have broken out in painful acne on the crease lines running from nose to mouth. I can’t figure out why or what to do about it. Any advice?
Thanks a lot for all this information, I have just a question, when I start the keto diet a have some breakout on my chin, i don’t know if that is normal or is hormonal acne because I’m a 37 years old female.
Can't eat veggies due to an autoimmune condition, literally can no longer go to the bathroom with veggies and fruit. Been to the hospital as well and I bleed. So I have been on the Carnivore diet for a while because it seems to be the only practice that I no longer bloated on, had clear thought and my mood swings where non existent. If I have a veggie boom bloated and I can't go to the bathroom for a couple weeks. I drink lots of water and just doesn't help. So will carnivore clear my skin up?
I have really bad white heads on my chin 4 months into keto, I'm on month 5 and 1 week. I'm losing weight so I don't want to stop keto. I adore it, but my skin was better before . I stopped using coconut oil and it got a bit better, what could it be
What purpose is the soy milk in your life? Keto has 4 main food avoidances other than carbs, due to they are highly inflammatory: processed seed oils, SOY, wheat and corn. Of course in a low carb setting, insulin lowers and removal of highly inflammatory foods is important.
@@myevega5665 dairy isn’t bad for everyone, I have no issues consuming dairy daily and my skin has cleared the best despite eating butter and cheese and milk
I’ve been in ketosis a few days or so now and all of a sudden I have itchy red bumps along my jawline, behind my ears, under my chin and on my neck. I’ve never had acne and I’m 40. I’m wondering what’s causing it.
I just started keto, it's been 12 days. I've suffered from acne since teen years I'm now 35 and seemed like it had it under control. Had occasional breakouts right before that time of the month. But since I started this diet my face has seemed to get dry where it looks scaly. Along with breakouts. Would it go away? What can I do to get rid of it? Are there certain keto foods/supplements you recommend?
What if I need carbs for my strength training? Can I keep white rice and highly branched cyclic dextrin and still get the benefits? I usually consume 250-300g of carbs every day in form of oatmeal, rice a little bit of fruit and some very fast carbs as cyclic dextrin on the days I work out.
A few times a year my teenage daughter gets cold sores around her mouth. Doctors really just prescribed an ointment for when the outbreaks happen. Could you do a video on this and explain it? Will a better diet help?
Those cold sores occur when her body is stressed and getting sick. Anything that reduces stress and inflammation in her body will decrease the chances of her getting sick, therefore will reduce the likelyhood of her getting cold sores.
Also, dry skin will start the virus outbreak because of cracks in the skin in the lip area. Constant use of Vaseline has stopped them from coming back for me.
It would be greatly helpful if you mention which Foods Not to eat. For examples Eggs and Dairy ect.... The Video does say in the Title "AVOID these FOODS" and you DON'T mention them.
Are you able to Provide any additional information on how this links in with female hormones? Since coming off the pill I have had terrible acne, despite eating a low carb diet (which I was doing prior to coming off the pill).
Problem is its exactly these people THE TEENAGERS that eat crazy and you cant tell then beans about it.......accutaine.....which DOES work became the 'thing'.....but who knows what else it does to the body.....problem is I just cant get my teenager (or even early 20s) to stick to what they need to stick to.....I DO IT and i love it (and i dont even have symptoms that made me run to this lifestyle, i just love to know im fueling my body with whats good for it ....i get like a high off the idea of it) but for those ages where everything is based on their friends, its like (almost.....bec im sure there are exceptions) a losing game.
DOCTOR KEN PLEASE LORD RESPOND. I’m a bodybuilder and my body needs calories, high carbohydrates and protein. WHAT CAN I DO to clear this up?? Hormonal acne 100%
My dilemma is I I want to build muscle. I’m on carnivore but If I eat more than two meals a day my skin suffers in a major way. If I eat omad my skin is fine but I have terrible anxiety. If anyone has any help on this I would greatly appreciate it. I’m always asking questions but mine seem different to others and I can never find answers
Are you related to the actor Ken Berry? Great actor. You favor him to me. Love your videos. Thanks for putting all this knowledge out here for everyone.
Excelente video Dr Berry. We love you and appreciate you so much. I'm helping my son not to suffer like i did with my ignorant doctors when I was young.😂
What are your thoughts on dairy possibly being a trigger for acne? I've been doing low carb for a long time and my skin is better but I still get bad breakouts sometimes!
I’ve heard it can for some people, but not everyone. No two people are the same. I would suggest cutting it out completely for a couple of weeks or cut down on it for a couple of weeks to see if anything changes.
my wife on birth control Marina intrauterine Birth Control Device, how does that effect acne? can it be cleared by diet still or should she get it removed?
Kevin Hayes I have... fatty acids inside and applied outside. EVO will naturally help exfoliate the flaking yet moisturize the thicker, drier aspect of seborrhea (seborrheic dermatitis). Just saying.
Hey Ken! I have a pregnancy question that I hope you can answer!! Love your TH-cam channel. I’ve learned a ton so thanks a lot. I am currently 18 weeks pregnant, and I follow mostly a paleo style diet. I am struggling with terrible acne during the pregnancy. (Probably mostly bc of food aversions and slipping off my diet during the 1st trimester.) For the past 3 weeks or so I have been incorporating tons of quality red meat (beef/lamb). I throw in about two servings of organic fruit per day. I am super convinced that I will feel amazing and the carnivore diet is really what my body needs. I am skeptical to make the transition during pregnancy. Would you recommend I do so now or wait until I begin breastfeeding? Also, a bodybuilder/trainer put me on Metformin for blood sugar and anti aging benefits. (500mg/day) I am currently still on it but I want to come off especially since my diet is low carb now and I heard it’s not studied well during pregnancy. Can I stop the Metformin?
The problem with teenagers and acne is most of the foods that they eat contain gluten like pizza pasta burgers , sandwiches etc etc so it’s a pretty big lifestyle change but it’s definitely worth it
Sounds solid to me. Another question along the same lines is, what would you recommend for a young man whose acne/ skin related issues are due to shaving. I feel like I’ve tried it every which way to prevent razor bumps/ skin issues due to shaving but nothing seems to consistently work. Any advice, Doc? Thanks for the videos.
Five years later, but maybe this will help someone. Diet of course is the biggest factor. Here are some others things that helped my hubby: 1) a good safety razor. Cartridge razors are much more irritating. 2) unscented shave cream. 3) do not use any aftershave or toner with alcohol.
Yeah I see that it so bad you can loss weight very quickly, i cant try that. I prefer got acne that look skinny.. I'm just not gonna eat grains and wheats too see if that helps me a little
Great advice! It will definetly make me more mindful of what I'm eating. Sounds like a good diet will fix a great deal of stuff. We are what we eat.😊

Thanks for the video, open my mind. Julia

Been on the diet for 4 wks and feel great. Acne on the other hand gotten worst. Bunch on red pimples on my back. Hoping is the body recalibrating itself or whatnkt otherwise i have to look at the cheese perhaps or the butter. Typically i have ouly akin so we shall see but the diet has been fantastic!!!!
Any update?

''You have terrible skin before you die.'' I'm lauging :)))
lol, yep
Tea tree oil works remarkably well topically and can be used internally ??
Thank you Dr Berry. Great video and so true
help... over 60 never had much acne as a teen but horrible acne now that I started Keto. How do I cure this?
Dr Berry I love your videos , please could you do one on rosacea
Dr. Berry I've been eating Keto since July and my acne has cleared up but my skin is still dry. I'm concerned that my body isn't absorbing the oils that I am ingesting. Do you have any suggestions on what could be happening to me? thanks!
Eat more omega 3 foods… like more seafood and less beef/chicken/pork etc…..
I wonder if this is true of fungal conditions of the skin as well?
That analogy is very strong. Thank you :D
March 2 2019 ive watched this video,
Im now going to eat fruits and vegetables and avoid high glycemic food like refined bread,soda,chocolate,cake ,candy
I will exercise atleast 45minutes a day
I will take a photo of my face,back,and chest to compare the difference within next 3 months
Thank u doc,for the advice
Did you not see the video? Keto is no fruits or any kind of carb
I've been low carb for a year now, with many weeks of strict carnivore. I'm still getting small spots of acne. There's not much left to cut out. Could it be coffee, or heavy cream?
Meat
Thank you for the thruth!
Been carnivore for three days now, good quality foods and having worse outbreaks than ever. Is there an acclimatising periods for the body? I thought it would be onwards and upwards. Been low carb keto for 6 months before but still haven’t inflammation on face and spots that won’t go away ever. Dermatologist helpfully doesn’t know what the spots are and food doesn’t have any affect on the skin. Not had deep fried foods or candy for months now. Give it time I know.
Have you tried fasting? I was on carnivore as well and still had breakouts. Then I switched to intermittent fasting and it cleared my skin
I am so disheartened as since I have started keto/low carb 8 moths ago, o developed acbe all over my face, neck, back and chest… it leaves really ugly marks and I’m already dreading the thought of summer cloths… I have always stayed clear of high fat dairy products before but, on this new life style, double cream and cheese are a go to on a daily basis almost. Could this be the reason why? I drink plenty of water with lemon and acv daily to flush my system and I don’t think this is my body adjusting as it has been 8 months now and pretty much my acne broke early on… might have to give up on this diet as I’m 41 and look like a teenager again…
Hell yes. Cut out all the dairy!!! Think bout it you’re drinking the milk of a female cow meant for her babies. Even butter you should also cut if you’re super sensitive. You can get plenty of fat from animal fats, good grassfed beef fat is the best.
Honestly I think paleo is a much better diet. Fruit is natural and in moderation I believe is very beneficial.
Did you find a resolution?
I started Keto a month ago and have broken out in painful acne on the crease lines running from nose to mouth. I can’t figure out why or what to do about it. Any advice?
How did it go? I heard intermittent fasting can help..m
“Your B.S meter needs to go off” 😂😂😂
Thanks a lot for all this information,
I have just a question, when I start the keto diet a have some breakout on my chin, i don’t know if that is normal or is hormonal acne because I’m a 37 years old female.
some people eat junks all days and still have healthy skin !!! how do you explain that doc ?
I think it's because a lot of the gunk is transferred to the large fat deposits on their body instead of seeping from their skin.
Can't eat veggies due to an autoimmune condition, literally can no longer go to the bathroom with veggies and fruit. Been to the hospital as well and I bleed. So I have been on the Carnivore diet for a while because it seems to be the only practice that I no longer bloated on, had clear thought and my mood swings where non existent. If I have a veggie boom bloated and I can't go to the bathroom for a couple weeks. I drink lots of water and just doesn't help. So will carnivore clear my skin up?
I have really bad white heads on my chin 4 months into keto, I'm on month 5 and 1 week. I'm losing weight so I don't want to stop keto. I adore it, but my skin was better before . I stopped using coconut oil and it got a bit better, what could it be
Eggs, diary, added sugars food sensitivities
Sir, does soy milk cause acne? Thank so much!
Does not..what does trigger? Dairy...anything. Dairy and lack of sleep
What purpose is the soy milk in your life? Keto has 4 main food avoidances other than carbs, due to they are highly inflammatory: processed seed oils, SOY, wheat and corn. Of course in a low carb setting, insulin lowers and removal of highly inflammatory foods is important.
@@myevega5665 dairy isn’t bad for everyone, I have no issues consuming dairy daily and my skin has cleared the best despite eating butter and cheese and milk
I’ve been in ketosis a few days or so now and all of a sudden I have itchy red bumps along my jawline, behind my ears, under my chin and on my neck. I’ve never had acne and I’m 40. I’m wondering what’s causing it.
Did you find a resolution?
I just started keto, it's been 12 days. I've suffered from acne since teen years I'm now 35 and seemed like it had it under control. Had occasional breakouts right before that time of the month. But since I started this diet my face has seemed to get dry where it looks scaly. Along with breakouts. Would it go away? What can I do to get rid of it? Are there certain keto foods/supplements you recommend?
I’m in the same boat. I’ve been Keto for a month and now I’m breaking out terribly! Idk what to do! Did you find a solution?
It takes awhile to dump toxins. Just stick to it for 90 days at least. I’m also histamine sensitive
I see such a difference when my son has vacation and is much outside. When school starts his acne flairs up. He is allergic for school😋
Great house analogy
I’ve been doing clean keto for three years already and my skin is horrible 😢😢😢😢😢
Aww poor thing 🥺 have you thought about switching your diet ?
I think paleo is a much better diet. Are you eating dairy products?
What if I need carbs for my strength training? Can I keep white rice and highly branched cyclic dextrin and still get the benefits?
I usually consume 250-300g of carbs every day in form of oatmeal, rice a little bit of fruit and some very fast carbs as cyclic dextrin on the days I work out.
A few times a year my teenage daughter gets cold sores around her mouth. Doctors really just prescribed an ointment for when the outbreaks happen. Could you do a video on this and explain it? Will a better diet help?
Those cold sores occur when her body is stressed and getting sick. Anything that reduces stress and inflammation in her body will decrease the chances of her getting sick, therefore will reduce the likelyhood of her getting cold sores.
Also, dry skin will start the virus outbreak because of cracks in the skin in the lip area. Constant use of Vaseline has stopped them from coming back for me.
It would be greatly helpful if you mention which Foods Not to eat. For examples Eggs and Dairy ect....
The Video does say in the Title "AVOID these FOODS" and you DON'T mention them.
Are you able to
Provide any additional information on how this links in with female hormones? Since coming off the pill I have had terrible acne, despite eating a low carb diet (which I was doing prior to coming off the pill).
DIM can be helpful to rid the body of xeno estrogen from bc
How to handle facial hair female that causes ache. Is there a cheaper / home method to deal with this hair removal.
After all...it’s true! You are what you eat!!! 👍
Sou calling me a pu$$y??!!
So should I cut out fruit completely too ??
dont we need carbs to transport proteins into the muscles?
Problem is its exactly these people THE TEENAGERS that eat crazy and you cant tell then beans about it.......accutaine.....which DOES work became the 'thing'.....but who knows what else it does to the body.....problem is I just cant get my teenager (or even early 20s) to stick to what they need to stick to.....I DO IT and i love it (and i dont even have symptoms that made me run to this lifestyle, i just love to know im fueling my body with whats good for it ....i get like a high off the idea of it) but for those ages where everything is based on their friends, its like (almost.....bec im sure there are exceptions) a losing game.
keto gave me the worse insomnia I have ever experienced in my life!! so I changed to paleo and its just a better option for me
What do you think about warts? Same thing as acne?
DOCTOR KEN PLEASE LORD RESPOND. I’m a bodybuilder and my body needs calories, high carbohydrates and protein. WHAT CAN I DO to clear this up?? Hormonal acne 100%
Bite butter and eat fatty meat
My dilemma is I I want to build muscle. I’m on carnivore but If I eat more than two meals a day my skin suffers in a major way. If I eat omad my skin is fine but I have terrible anxiety. If anyone has any help on this I would greatly appreciate it. I’m always asking questions but mine seem different to others and I can never find answers
Eat a tiny bit of veggies, check out oxalate dumping
Are you related to the actor Ken Berry? Great actor. You favor him to me. Love your videos. Thanks for putting all this knowledge out here for everyone.
Thank you!
Excelente video Dr Berry. We love you and appreciate you so much. I'm helping my son not to suffer like i did with my ignorant doctors when I was young.😂
I have thin skin it tears and rips really easy. Will a protein diet fix this with a carnivore diet
Amazing thank you, Annette UK
What are your thoughts on dairy possibly being a trigger for acne? I've been doing low carb for a long time and my skin is better but I still get bad breakouts sometimes!
I’ve heard it can for some people, but not everyone. No two people are the same. I would suggest cutting it out completely for a couple of weeks or cut down on it for a couple of weeks to see if anything changes.
Yes! Some People have an ALLERGIC REACTION to DAIRY which cause acne breakouts: milk, cheese, yogurt, milk shakes, ice cream, etc… NOT EGGS
my wife on birth control Marina intrauterine Birth Control Device, how does that effect acne? can it be cleared by diet still or should she get it removed?
Have you seen Seborrheic Dermatitis improve with this approach?
Yes, on a very personal level. I used to suffer from it. When I removed liquid dairy, wheat, sugar and processed foods from my diet it went away...

I have... fatty acids inside and applied outside. EVO will naturally help exfoliate the flaking yet moisturize the thicker, drier aspect of seborrhea (seborrheic dermatitis). Just saying.
I’ve had bad bacne for almost a year now, I am one month carnivore and it’s still bad. I know diary is a trigger however. Help!!!!
Hey Ken! I have a pregnancy question that I hope you can answer!!
Love your TH-cam channel. I’ve learned a ton so thanks a lot.
I am currently 18 weeks pregnant, and I follow mostly a paleo style diet. I am struggling with terrible acne during the pregnancy. (Probably mostly bc of food aversions and slipping off my diet during the 1st trimester.) For the past 3 weeks or so I have been incorporating tons of quality red meat (beef/lamb). I throw in about two servings of organic fruit per day. I am super convinced that I will feel amazing and the carnivore diet is really what my body needs. I am skeptical to make the transition during pregnancy. Would you recommend I do so now or wait until I begin breastfeeding? Also, a bodybuilder/trainer put me on Metformin for blood sugar and anti aging benefits. (500mg/day) I am currently still on it but I want to come off especially since my diet is low carb now and I heard it’s not studied well during pregnancy. Can I stop the Metformin?
Megan, check out Dr Berry’s wife’s channel, Neisha loves it. She is currently pregnant and is a registered nurse! I think you will just love her!
Why are some people more susceptible to acne then? I don’t get that
I started the carnivore diet 3 weeks ago and I feel very good but I am getting acne what can I do?
Nothing... you're doomed..
The problem with teenagers and acne is most of the foods that they eat contain gluten like pizza pasta burgers , sandwiches etc etc so it’s a pretty big lifestyle change but it’s definitely worth it
How about if I get scalp folliculities
Sounds solid to me. Another question along the same lines is, what would you recommend for a young man whose acne/ skin related issues are due to shaving. I feel like I’ve tried it every which way to prevent razor bumps/ skin issues due to shaving but nothing seems to consistently work. Any advice, Doc? Thanks for the videos.
Your answer is still from what your skin is built of, and possibly the cream you are using to shave with.
Five years later, but maybe this will help someone. Diet of course is the biggest factor. Here are some others things that helped my hubby: 1) a good safety razor. Cartridge razors are much more irritating. 2) unscented shave cream. 3) do not use any aftershave or toner with alcohol.
I am 62 yrs old, doing keto, I am getting pimples like I am in high-school.
His house analogy completely changes the game
It is similar to one I heard. It makes no sense to polish the brass on the Titanic. An exercise in futility.
Does weight loss get rid of keloids please?
Yeah I see that it so bad you can loss weight very quickly, i cant try that. I prefer got acne that look skinny.. I'm just not gonna eat grains and wheats too see if that helps me a little
Love it and thank you, Dr.!!
