Dr. Berg is a good listener. ....... very important for a teacher to be excellent.
what i wanted to mention exactly
Great observation, I really enjoy his listening skills as well. Brings out the best in the presenter.
Great listener . That's the way it should be. Don't interrupt. Let your guest tell his story !! Great interview Dr. Berg
Yes but he doesn't reply to some important questions 😕
He gets an A+ for presentation but I would only use a whiteboard with a black marker so we can read it.
Two doctors that really give a damn about the health of their patients, Humble and curious about answers.
HDD MOFP dr berg is not a doctor 😭😭😂
@@mickygarcia8423 welll he knows more than my brother who is a real medical doctor.
@@cricketislife6003 all the information that Dr Berg give in his videos, are all missing in the 7 or so years of study of medicine. So Yaquelin is right lol
@@mickygarcia8423 Who the heck cares! He's a freaking GENIUS on nutrition! You can keep going to your MD who knows NOTHING about nutrition or healing heart disease or diabetes.
@@cricketislife6003 It seems like they care more about actually healing us and giving us to a better quality of life instead of just pushing a pill for everything.
Two Doctors who LISTEN to their patients! Thank You Dr. Berg and Dr. Ali.
Yeah it’s pretty rare. Most of them are machines with no critical thinking brain, no empathy for the patients, no willingness to think or work, yet it’s exactly these type of doctors that are arrogant, ignorant and full of themselves. When they can’t tell you what’s cause or disease behind the quite obvious symptoms , they have the audacity to tell their patients to “stop imagining things”, or “you need to go to see a psychologist”. These doctors needs to be fired. They have no willingness nor ability to care for patients
I’m on Keto got cholesterol checked. My LDL 233, went up a lot, HDL normal 64, triglycerides 63 but my doctor called me up freaked out and freaked me out wanted to put me on statins. I said no and started researching. Thanks for this video!
I have similar results.
LDL 224
HDL 70
Triglyceride 57
Same here
Stay clear of Statins, it is POISION. I caved in to my doctors nagging and boy… nothing could have prepared me for the side effects. It eas pure HELL. Never again, I’d rather die than go through that again. Get exercise, eat healthy, stay away from processe foods… that is the way to good health and a long life.
Why are your LDL’s elevated? Are you eating a lot of saturated fats or red meats on keto? An anti inflammatory/Mediterranean/keto type diet can be done being predominantly vegetables based with Whole Foods, healthy plant fats, such as avocados & olives, as needed.
Same .
Fantastic explanation! That explains what had happened to me. I'm 83 and started low carb diet back in Jun 2019 that evolved in a keto diet . Since then I lost 27 kilos and all my markers have improved. Only LDL went up along with HLD. I feel marvelous good despite the constrain of this pandemia. Thank you very much Dr. Nadir Ali, And thank you Dr. Berg for arranging this interview.
Congratulations to you. Sind sie deutscher?
I had a similar LDL experience and this video helped tremendously!
Rodolfo B. Schnabel, did you understand them to say that if you go on a low-carb diet and your LDL goes up, it's likely that it's the large-cell type LDL which is ok? As long as it's not the small-cell type that leads to plaguing?
@@pamelah3739 I appreciate your comment. Would that be the vLDL? Otherwise, how can I identify those small cells? The analytics give me only these three cholesterol types: HLD, LDL and vLDL (the late I presume to stand for very low density lipoprotein).
@@lukasheidenreich206 Nein ich bin von Argentinien und leider spreche ich sehr wenig Deutsch. Thank you for your comment. Viele Grüße.
Husband is doing keto and his blood is doing just this. Prediabetes is gone and hes doing great. Thanks drs for your teaching us!!!!!!!!!
High cholesterol?
I as well! Keto is the best.
Well the problem most likely is eating meats that are too fatty and too frequent. Eating more lean with more fish and more greens can help.
@@pennywise1003 and exercise. Many people just try to make modifications to their diet and do no exercise. I walk (many) miles each day as well as do some strength training and I’m over 60. I feel young.
So refreshing to see such a nice Cardiologist
It's so wonderful to hear that a doctor values nutrition more than a medication. After losing 38 lbs I truly believe that losing weight is 90% and exercise is 10%.
Mar J 100%.....diet 90% exercise 10%......
I'm a personal trainer... 90% is what we put in our damn mouth & 10% exercise
It's the brainwashing of US medical profession by Big Pharma.
My Nutrition selling career has taught me that these informations will go into one's brain only if God makes him open up his mind.. Otherwise they all end up in cath lab.
Nope, i say 50/50. I know plenty of ppl who eat what they want and stay slim , just by walking every other day a few miles. Its the lazy unfit pppl who think they can just eat less
You two men may never know what you mean to all of us or how many lives you’ve saved, your both very brave😇😇😇
It takes a good fish to swim upstream any old fish can swim down
Agreed, they saved me and my wife. Your fans from United Arab Emirates
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Dr. B saved mine.
Yeeesssss
I concur My wife’s aunt mid 90’s died of natural causes unrelated to heart disease or stroke after decades of heart doctors pushing her to take medicine to lower total cholesterol. She refused to take statins and outlived a few husbands and children.
That's proof enough for me!! Stay clear of any drugs!!
Wow 👌
She was probably eating lots of saturated fats like lard and butter too.
@@andrexadoh 🚬 She smoked too ! 😯
@O k You know I had that too. I just quit the statins, you're not supposed to do that without doctor supervision, but I got much better. Now that I started Keto my memory astounds me!
Day 5 healthy keto eating window 1 hour per day and I've lost 11 lbs. Lupus symptoms nearly gone. I stopped all medication on my own. Inflammation leaving. Sleep is deep already. I cannot even imagine how amazing I will feel Day 30. Thank you for your videos. My life is going to be back to normal soon and I had just about given up. ❤️
** 13 lbs gone this starts day 6. This morning I got right up and could not believe I had no aches/stiffness.
Isabella Dabrowska very nice. Two feedings per day is fine too, eg lunch and dinner. Also, have you considered going 100% carnivore? I consider that the next level after keto based on personal experience. Good luck!
Behfar Bastani I have not looked into that. Thank you though I will..does it also help keep autoimmune symptoms away? I am still going strong and steadily losing 1 lb per day , Sunday I lost 2 lbs. I was running around a lot and I just think my metabolism is going strong now. I am starting to have no lupus fatigue now!!!! My alarm is set for 7 am and my eyes are open and mind ready to go at 5 am now. I am just amazed. Even my skin is smooth, nails growing. The changes are on and on! ❤️
Ditto. No more lupus symptoms for me either. I've been on keto and intermittent fasting for 6 months.
Is there a way to share comments I like this one cause my daughter has lupus and I keep trying to tell her to try
Any updates after 8 months?
Wow, this is godsend and so timely. I am sitting with 20mg Lipitor prescribed to me in my hand while watching this - as my LDL levels were high ( while all other markers were good) - I will NOT take them now and these 2 humble doctors have helped me understand a lot more on cholesterol, low carb diets, ketones, insulin resistance and more.
I have worked as a PT with patients who took a statin who developed pain. When dose was decreased or discontinued the pain disappeared. Good thing you did not start the medication.
I took myself off the statin...triglycerides are normal..all markers are good..screw drugs.
Main thing is increase aerobic exercise like walking for long time and take low carb and increase Protein and fat intake, stop sugar or any processed food.
Exact same situation for me 🙏🏼
I eat very healthy with few processed foods, with lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, a moderate amount of meat, and with low sugar and a few carbs. A year ago my ldl was 350 while all other markers were great. Also my hdl is higher than they recommend. For years I believed that I should restrict fat in my diet but now I know that healthy fat is important. A year ago I increased fats that contain Omega 3 and Omega 9, I eat many nuts, some fatty fish, and I use lots of olive oil. Amazingly in 1 year after I increased healthy fat intake my ldl dropped 250 points. In addition my dry skin has become less dry. I'm very happy with the results. I try not to use chemicals in or on my body or in my life.
Thanks for this upload👍. My mum is 98 years old. She is a WWII veteran who served in New York City. She is dynamic. She walks up and down the hall with her wheel cart 8 times a day since the winter has kept her inside. She outlived her teeth, so they are false and wears hearing aids. She eats well, likes a cup of coffee and an alcoholic drink once in awhile. Has always eaten butter, eggs, cheese, bacon, red meat, fish-still does. She loves to read and do puzzles and calls me from her landline once in awhile and writes me a letter and posts it. She lives in London Ontario Canada. Before the pandemic she went on the bus by herself and also attended church. She will be 99 on June 24th this year. I am praying that l may get to see her on this wonderful day. Oh, she doesn't take ANY medicine at all. A couple of years ago she mentioned to her doctor that she got tired quite a bit and the doctor kind of chuckled and said, gosh Jean people a lot younger than you get tired, try taking vitamin B for energy. She beat lower bowel cancer at the age of 69.....Her mother succumbed to bowel cancer at the age of 89. Grandmo had surgery where they removed a growth the size of a small cabbage from her bowel. She passed away four days later in 1979. She never was on any medication in her lifetime either. Neither of them were over weight, had blood pressure or diabetes. The common denominator l see is their healthy diet, staying engaged and moving.
Processed food and being stagnant is killing the world......just saying 💪.
God bless these two wonderful men for sharing their knowledge with the world.❤❣🧠👍
Thank you for sharing the wonderful stories about your mother. Wish her good health forever!
Beautiful ! In our country, they say, you are what you eat.
Two and a half years later, this information is still being resisted by the medical community. Thank you both for your diligence to enlighten the masses about cholesterol. Keep up the good work.
Of course, they also want us all dead! So, yeah
@@billdublewhopper3064 troll
Double whopper I wonder why?
follow their advice, don't just listen.
@@billdublewhopper3064 Maybe you eat too much "double whopper" burger everyday? hahaha. You should practice "Low Carb" or "ketogenic diet".
Recently I found my LDL has gone up and I was really shocked because I do play tennis, running and weight training regularly (at least 5-6 times a week) . And on top of it I really follow healthy diet (no sugar or processed food only lean meat protein and plant based diet) and I have close to 10-12% body fat(almost flat stomach) and still my LDL has gone up. After hearing from my doctor about my high cholesterol, I got really confused and not sure what else I can do(besides running,exercise and controlling low carb or sugar diet). So I started googling videos about LDL cholesterol and then I found this video. After watching this video, it perfectly makes sense.
Based on my past history I found my overall cholesterol is high but I noticed that my HDL went up, my LDL went up and my Triglycerides went down and that's what Dr. Ali is mentioning that if you have low carb diet you will notice this change. Now I am relieved! Thank you Dr. Ali and Dr Berg, this video is really helpful, gives you insight.
Please your body is telling you STOP ✋ I do not need fat .. I make my own and if you continue I w
Will deposit plaque in your arteries ..Low fat vegan diet is your best bet !
Don't be happy about your LDL it will block arteries. Check for genetic causes.. Your liver might be making too much LDL... Diet or exercise can't fix that
@@ladyd1520 take ur stupid comments elsewhere, if u want to be a vegan sure, don't force others into it, humans evolved on this planet by eating meat and vegetables, so both is essential.
I hope you have found Dave Feldman by now.
Eric, you're a terrific interviewer. Facilitating through intense listening and throwing the appropriate trigger questions.
I know this is not a recent upload but it was recommended to me at the perfect time. I'm 70, doing keto and intermintent fasting with OMAD. My last blood test showed elevated cholesterol of 220. Doctors office called telling me I need to go on statins. Umm, nope. My doctor and I have had a good relationship but I take no medications and certainly won't start now. He and I will be having a serious discussion when I see him early next month. Thank you both for doing this video.
My doc is saying the same thing. I do IF and have lost 35 lbs so far. No thank you doc. No statins for me.
@@dcvargas8917 Congrats on the weight loss! 👍👍👍
@Roux Chat ... Good point that you and Dr can talk ... If he is willing, and you clear him of all medical malpractices threats, ask him to use you as a control patient and he can watch your medical progress, listen to your information on your diet, and document your progress with the standard medical tests ... He will have to create a current baseline and watch/document how you progress from that point ... ..
They will threaten you. Don't take statins. That's the beginning of the end!
@@marygem what do you mean by the beginning of the end ? What does statins do to the body ?
I really appreciate Dr. Berg for introducing us to Dr. Ali!! He is amazing!!
Hey Dr Berg…. Have started watching your TH-cam channel about a month back… to say that you have changed my life for the better would be the best understatement that I can make. I’m so so so grateful to you 🙏
I have struggled with high cholesterol. My doctor suggested losing 30lbs and taking fish oil because I was nursing. The following year I was no longer nursing but still had high cholesterol. My doctor did not want to start meds because of a conference he had been to that showed the negatives of treating. Im working on that 30 lbs now and got 24 down as of today.
I’m so excited to see more and more Drs getting educated about this awesome way to eat!
I’m so glad I saw this video. Recently went off 20 yrs of Lipitor, and started low carb/keto diet. Don’t need to lose weight but my glucose has been a bit high last couple yrs. However my total cholesterol was 306 with LDL in the 200s. HDL was 70 something. Triglycerides normal range. My doctor got really angry with me and yelled about how foolish I was to stop the statins. I am 71, exercise daily and in excellent health although a few years ago had an ablation for AFib. I will not go back on statins!
@@billdublewhopper3064 yes, had one in 2015 which was 0, and one last year which was 25.
,😢x
@@vtgirl1969 So you realize that your arteries in your heart got clogged up by 25% or 1/4 with Cholesterol and Calicium build up plaque? If you keep it up in 2 more years your Heart Arteries would be clogged by 50-80% and Heart Surgery is imminent. Did you get to see a Cardiology Surgeon to find out how much out of pocket would be Heart Surgery if you are lucky to make it to the hospital on time? Someone the family who was distrustful of real Cardiology Doctors died and I recommend you get a consultation with a Cardiology Surgeon since your Calcium Score is not zero and your thin heart arteries are 1/4 clogged and they are not unclogging with your high Cholesterol and without medications your doctor prescribed to save you...
@@annamartino5681 how on earth did you get to "25%"?
1-10: Minimal evidence of CAD
11-100: Mild evidence of CAD
101-400: Moderate evidence of CAD
Over 400: Extensive evidence of CAD
your doctor has no right to be angry with you , I would of told him off , and I have done just that , he is not my health guru at all ,there just pill pushers for big pharma.
Im pinching myself seriously.. this much education/ information essentially for free- amazing!. There is so much gold in this, i kept stopping to reference research & grasp the basic points. Incredible & empowering. In all this talk about LDL & atherogenic processes one thing i have learnt from all these specialists is that ;'correlation does not imply causation', this is fundemental concept to grasp before blindly accepting the status quo on cholesterol & health in general. Thankyou so much! : )
I love these two guys!!!
My husband and i love Dr Berg.
Always tells truth. We have been on Keto and Intermittent Fasting for 12 months now. Doing great, off all meds and looking 20 years younger. Off all meds now at 70 years old. Our LDL has gone up and our Doc tried to put us on statins. Said no and came directly to Dr Berg to check out issue. Thank you BOTH Doctors. ❤❤❤❤❤
Wow, really makes me wonder who set the LDL standards! Excellent Cardiologist
I'm so thankful to Dr. Nadir Ali and
Dr. Eric Berg for their time and for this educational video, and I'm so grateful for doctors who are teaching us about nutrition.
Our bodies are so wonderfully made.
What a lovely and modest cardiologist, thank you doctor Berg for sharing.
18:15 "If you're burning fat, you're making a lot of ketones, and if you're making a lot of ketones, then by design your body is making a lot of cholesterol in the liver"... (mindblown) This video has certainly put my mind at ease. Thanks for the wealth of knowledge docs!
I think It's the fat that raises LDL.
I was SHOOK. 🤔😳
MIFNP : don’t fear cholesterol...it’s damage from insulin spikes and high stress that damage vascular and organ tissues...cholesterol builds and repairs tissues, hormones and neurotransmitters, etc...
Amazing machine the human body isn't it?
Thanks l shared this link with my husband. Thank you for the time stamp. 👍. This is info we needed.
Dr. Ali is my new cardiologist!! He's awesome! He was impressed with my knowledge of keto, thanks to Dr. Berg!! :)
You are so lucky!
This is the best interview I ever seen, both Doctors are providing information that is important to know for all of us. Dr Berg, please interview people like Dr. Ali more often. Thank you for this information, you are the best!!!
I wish my Dr. would watch this and become educated to nutrition.
Then YOU should educate your doctor - dont be in awe of a white coat & a certificate on the wall- just means he remembered outdated dogma at exam time
I love that Dr. Berg does consult with other doctors from various expertise to present a different vantage point. There is validation and even greater understanding on how the body works. Thank you!
And that's why his type are loathed in medicine. He's not part of their pharmaceutical driven club.
My dad told me today about his workmate that got cholesterol medicine and begun to forget things like names etc. Was walking the corridors looking at name signs of long known persons. Got his memory back when stopped taking them!
Thank you. I stopped my statin because of having memory problems. I've been keto for 6 months, lost 35 pounds and was so excited to get my blood tests done to see my improvements. Was shocked my cholesterol went from 186 to 286. Dr renewed my prescription yesterday for the statin. I'm not going to take them! My decision.
💯👍🏽
Same! Have been low carb for awhile, total cholesterol 318, LDL over 200 but HDL 84.7, Dr wanted me to take statins, I refused. I am 65 and feel so energetic and as you say memory is great now.🤗
I fired my doctor because he was very insistent on me taking them. I feel better now than the last 10 years with him. My new doctor discusses different options and works with me.
🎉😢
🎉
I’m watching this video again because it is simply so important. I’m not a Doctor, so it takes me a bit longer to fully understand Dr. Ali’s explanations because it is a lot of material to take in. This video has so many intelligent points that need to be understood and learned. Thank you to Dr. Nadir Ali and Dr. Berg !!
I wish I can get a man like dr. Berg!
He's calm, he listens, He's not nasty, he's respectful to all, he seems humble...list goes on! Stay blessed dr. Berg🙏🏼❤
I would like to find a doctor like him also. Most doctors want you on to many meds. I refuse to take them all....
I wonder if he can be cloned? I think all the single women who watch his videos wish they could find someone like him.
And he's cute as heck!☺
Dr berg, I'm a med graduate and I'll be starting my postgraduate studies in oncology. I'd like to thank you for correcting my whole approach towards medical science and the concepts. I've used the right approach to manage my insulin resistance and that of my folks. You're awesome
Dont go for oncology then... go for nutrition
Please also read and educate yourself on cancer metabolism. Hopefully you will learn about cancer metabolism and you will be taught that drug interventions may not always be necessary to treat cancer. The metabolic theory of cancer has been getting more and more attention because it provides an alternative explanation for the cause. One that fills in some holes and inconsistencies with the somatic mutation theory. Today most oncologist will look at u as if they were stunned by any suggestion of a place for the Warburg Effect. Please look at the work of Thomas Seyfried, Lewis Cantley and other's who advocate for the metabolic theory of cancer.
Awesome look at Dr Jason Fung!
You will do well as a Dr. Keep an open mind and help pts first.
hello! nice to read from you. i would like to ask you a question dr. i just finnish 8 chemos. 1st 4 months of chemo i had my ct scan and my galstone went up fm 0.2 to 0.7, i had calcifications in arteries and kidney. after 3 months or in the 7th month it, my gallstones increased to 0.9. most probably my arteries and kidney increased calcification as well. my diet is as per hospitals advice and usual cancer diet. to my observation i am puzled what chemo or medication did - to make it increase that fast.? hope you could share your idea about it
This was one of the best interviews you've ever done. I am saving the link to give to any physician who criticizes Keto! Thanks Drs. Berg and Ali...truly life saving! I am crusading for Keto in all my friends who have heart problems and stroke problems. Humanity needs these facts desperately!
Rebecca Wells agree! I watched Montel Williams talk about his healing on keto after a stroke. And alleviating his MS symptoms. I'm almost symptom free from lupus on healthy keto. ❤️
i HAVE BEEN SWEATING MY HIGH LDL'S FOR OVER A YEAR. GOOD TO HEAR THIS VIEW
Dr. Paul Mason has a great LDL presentation. He talks about the triglyceride/hdl ratio. It’s a better indicator of cv health than LDL. Look up your values, take tg and divide by hdl. If around 1 = fantastic. My husband’s was 5, now it’s less than 1. LDL is high because we are fat adapted.
After 8 month on Keto diet I lost 40 in and I am feeling very good. My blood pressure is down I stopped taking pills only my LDL up. Thanks to both doc. For this information,I do not worry anymore about it. God bless you both. Thanks
Explains so much, my last blood test my LDLs were elevated but I have a great Dr. and he understands the keto diet and he wasn’t concerned. I truly appreciate th knowledge shared from this video. I feel great and very rarely feel bad. I found Dr Berg in 2014 and have lost 20lbs and have kept it off gained muscle. My blood pressure is good,no pain, no vision problems,no anxiety,no mood swings,no constipation, no UTIs, I am gaining muscle back after losing it to insulin resistance. Thank you Dr. Berg
Yes in my last medical my ldls were high also.
Dr Ali is best cardiologist cuz he can think for himself outside of big phRma much admiration
He probably doesn't practice in US. Anywhere but US has logical, thoughtful & knowledgable physicians. Only in US do they push medication before any other treatment/solutions. That's why we can't have socialized medicine.
@@carolmiller5713 Dr. Ali practices in Houston, TX.
Dr Nadir Ali has a brilliant mind. Thank you Dr Berg! 🙏💜
Brilliant in what way??
I love when two of my favorite people get together! THANK YOU BOTH!!!
Dr Berg is so humble to listen not like some interview the host always talk too much overwhelm the interviewee
Fact!
It’s helped me a lot! Good to learn listening skills
Not overhelming. He explains what he knows well.
He's an amazing listener and a very kind human being
Dr. Nadir it is so refreshing to see an MD make the connection between nutrition and how that effects the body. Having had high cholesterol all my life I stressed about dying from heart problems. I wouldn’t ever take a statin because I felt that the side effects were not worth it. I had a calcium scoring test about 8 years ago when I couldn’t take the stress any more of not knowing and it came back with a zero. I’m 62 years old now and haven’t changed my diet ( pretty Keto in its nature). I love butter and chicken skin, olives and sardines. I do have some carbs here and there but eat veggies and salads along with my meats and fats. Good HDL, low Triglycerides but small particle dense LDL and I still had nothing. I also made the connection with the brain needing fat and how Alzheimer’s became so big after we were told to have a low fat diet, poppycock. Our country is being held captive by the drug companies and they’re killing millions of people with their badly conceived treatments. More power to your efforts to really save peoples lives.
Yes! Yes ! Yes!
Yes yes yes yes yes.We are hostages to medical tyranny and it must change
This is why the medical industrial complex is responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths, annually!
Great interview. Dr Berg is someone I listen to all the time. I have eaten keto ,mostly carnivore for 4 yrs. It's great. Will never change this way of eating. Dr. Ali is brilliant. So smart. I could listen to him for hours ! Thank you both
Yeah for Carnivore!!
How is it possible to give everyday so many interresting informations ? Thank you so much from Belgium
@Tom Platz yes !!!!
I love how both of you explained everything so well... God bless you both!
OMG ❤️. I am sharing with my husband and his new cardiologist. He has a high score on CAC test ( encouraged by us, because he doesn’t want to be on a statin - and has bad family history) - in his LAD artery. We have been keto for 2.5 years with Dr. Berg’s help. His score surely will be better in a year! Thank you and keep sharing this info. SO IMPORTANT. THANK YOU!
Hi, how was his score after? Thanks🌺
Such a pleasure to listen to this conversation. Dr. Ali sounds like an amazing doctor who also thinks like an engineer. I'm a fan!!!
Dr. Nadir Ali is obviously a very knowledgeable Cardiologist. I can picture pretty much everything I have learned over the years as a Registered Nurse. Thanks to both of you.
So interesting because l tried keto and my LDL did go up but my other markers hdl & triglycerides etc. were good..thank you for the info.
Me too! So even though I’m in the low range in the Framingham cardiac risk score, it says my heart age is 64 but I’m 57. No cardiac issues in family, no smoking, low BP, ETC. Maybe I used the wrong cholesterol number? Like do you use the whole cholesterol or the HDL?
@@colleenlazoruk9305, better indicator of cv health is the triglyceride / hdl ratio. Take the tg and divide by hdl. Ratio of around 1 is ideal, less than 1 is fantastic. My husband had a ratio over 5 when he had fatty liver and more. Keto for 12 weeks, ratio of 1, 26 pounds down. Has dropped below 1 now. Mine is great too. Look for dr Paul Mason LDL vid on YT.
What a great interview! I learned so much about cholesterol that was new to me. Dr. Berg is a superb interviewer. Much appreciated!
Thank you so much both of you.....my own primary never explains a thing! Just wants to hand a script....the education you bring to the public is awesome! My family elders are all in their late 90’s all with high cholesterol, full cognitive function and living independently in their own homes...again Thankyou so much for this free education!!!
Dr. Berg is such an amazing listener. I learned today a new skill. How to listen like him. Both are great dr.s's
Indeed!
@PS. When you have no questions, you can always just do TR-2.
My PCP is a cardiologist. He told me that my keto routine with high fat and a lot of red meat was bad. After seeing my test results he said he couldn't argue with the progress. He said "Whatever you're doing, keep on doing it"!
One at a time, we will educate doctors.
Wow, amazing video. Gold, one is the best on TH-cam. It needs to go viral.
Two brilliant and wonderful human beings helping humanity in this journey of life.
Interesting and learned so much. I have been on intermittent fasting almost a year 16/24 & my LDL went up. I was so worried what did I do & listening to both of you make so much sense. By the way I’m in my early 60. Thanks for sharing this valued info
My dr gave me a 90 day diet to reduce my cholesterol. After spending 4 years on Keto, I know I would have gained 10 or more pounds, have a foggy brain, and no energy if I followed it. They recommend 280 carbs a day. That's more carbs than I eat now in a week! So sadly, I will disappoint my doctor's intent to get me on statins, but on the plus side, I'll outlive her!
"I am surprised that the impact of nutrition and lifestyle is so much greater than medications...it's an order of magnitude greater without the side effects of medications.' 36:00
Dr. Berg’s smile lol 😂 he’s such a keto dad I swear lol.
saludos kristina!
Finally!!! Instead of writing everyone a prescription we are getting the truth. I love hearing the doctor say that he doesn’t know the answer. I would rather have a doctor not know then guess. This makes perfect sense why my LDL went up when I started to cut back carbs.
OMG! Dr Berg is looking younger every time I see him.
😄😄😄
Flirting with the Dr LOL
If there was more people like Mr. Berg on Earth. The World would be a better place to live. I really look up to him, Really an amazing guy....💯🥇
We don’t need any more atheist in the world.
I can already tell this is going to be a WEALTH of info!!!
Yea mine went up a lot and I was close to quitting,but I gave it a chance,,stuck with it and feel okay .
I am one who has great success on Keto/IF diet and all my markers went down except LDL level went UP!! I was so concerned I ordered myself a particle test. THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO!
THANK YOU BOTH!!! YOU ARE LIFE SAVERS!!! ❤❤❤👍👍👍
2 world class doctors here!⚕ Thank you both for your service!👍
I was on statins for 3 1/2 years, (which I didn’t even need), the worst time of my life! My cognitive problems were sky high. I was so stressed at work because I couldn’t think properly, I couldn’t solve problems which was part of my job, my memory was gone! I had a brain scan to see if I had a problem with early Dementure, that scan was clear. My husband found a testimony of someone on the internet, that explained my symptoms completely! He stopped the statins and was absolutely back to normal. I stopped the statins immediately and in a couple of days, I was back to being able to think and solve problems. I have been on Keto since January 9th, I’m sure in the future I may be told by my General Practitioner, that I need to go on to Statins, I will say no, especially in light of this Dr’s data. Thank you!
Can I ask how high your bad cholesterol was? Mine is 298 and it is scaring me
@@gardenia710 how are you doing? I am going to see Dr Ali in a few weeks. I have awful ldl and cholesterol and dr wanted me on statin. Makes me nervous too. I have been doing keto since May lost 48 lbs.
@@Dee.yankeeintexas Im no expert but maybe try just working on where your getting your fats. Make sure they are top notch. Great job on the weight loss! That's a lot of weight.
Dr. Berg, I think the LDL is one the highest priority questions about the keto diet. I know it is for me. I had a right main by-pass 20 years ago and continue to do well in that aspect, but unfortunately, over the years, with 'life' happening, I would go on and off of my American Heart Assoc. diet. It wasn't that it was hard to follow, but my stress increased greatly when I got into nursing school, managing my family, etc. In the meantime, as I gained weight, I also acquired Type 2. I didn't waste any time doing the right thing, but with losing 2 husbands along the way, again fell off the wagon. Now, that I'm alone, I can focus on just myself with my diet/exercise. Low carb/keto has been a godsend for me. It is the easiest way for me to eat. Not only is it healthy, but it is so filling and satisfying. I just naturally do IF and it's amazing. Before this way of eating, I couldn't go 4 hours without my glucose dropping rapidly. Now, I can go for at least 18 hours without eating. I love cooking just whole, clean foods and cannot imagine ever going back to my former self. Thanks SO much for having Dr. Ali address and explain it. I would love to go to one of his and your conferences.
Omg. Did I need to hear this! Thank you Dr Berg!
This was amazing! I love how Dr. Nadir is aware that his audience aren’t scientist.
LOVE this interview! Both such excellent doctors-and both are truly concerned about people, rather than making money. ❤️
This is one of the best videos on U tube. I’ve got very high LDL and very healthy triglycerides. Being pressured to take Statins….. no thanks! Thank you to both Doctors, both fabulous.
I feel smarter for having listened to this! Thank you for helping me make healthier choices!
I honestly believe that my high LDL saved me from Covid 19 but my wife of 46 years succumbed to it . My wife always said I was crazy with my LCHF WOE along with fasting and she would never participate in it. She was afflicted with RA and believed in her doctor who told her not to follow me. I love both of these doctors.
Welcome to the club where family member feels you out in the ozone!
Dr Berg is amazing.
My father just passed away from Statins.. This video means so much to me. I wish he was my family DR
I participated in a university study of approx 450 participants looking at the health benefits of yoga practice - I'd also been on a Keto diet for a year. My blood pressure was in the top 1% of the group and my artery health was equivalent to that of a very healthy 32 year, I'm 55. And yes, my LDL was high. BTW I lost 13kg going from 78 down to 65, which is the same weight I was at high school. Suffered from ankolosing spondylitis for 15 years - 1000mg Naprosyn a day plus loads of painkillers, now medication free.
What a great video. So informative. Thanks for making it happen the more exposure this topic gets the better!
I am 71 and had a cardiac cath last week. I've had a 21 yr history of high cholesterol in the mid 300's w high LDL [in retrospect, I think bc of a low fat diet so long] . I've had symptoms warranting the test. So... when my test came back w NO BLOCKAGES, my cardiologist was "astounded"! My pulmonologist says no lung disease, so my next testing will be for stenosis of the subclavian artery. I have been watching Dr Berg for months and have switched to Keto and IF and have lost about 18 lbs. I am taking D3 and K2 MK 7 due to low vit D levels. I feel like I've been given a new lease on life!!! TY Dr Berg!!!
That's great . I'm worried cos I'm on keto always had high cholesterol but now through the roof. LDL really high .total 374. I exercise five times a week I'm.57. lost weight . Just worried why tryglicerades went up and HDL cholesterol went down but still within range .
And you never were on statins?
@@faaj8028 I was diagnosed at 50 ... tried 3+ statins , all w serious side effects - turns out I am 'statin resistant', so I can't take any. I'm now 75 and tho my cholesterol levels are still somewhat high , [dr said genetics ], I find if I follow a proper diet and keep my triglycerides under control, I'm ok ... am still alive and well. Ty for asking.
What great humans this doctors are giving free info...that is because they are automatically helping us. Thank you.
After COVID, I definitely agree with Dr.Ali that doctors should be very skeptical about Scientific papers....one should be aware of the MOTIVE of the paper, the bias of it and of course, the PHARMA involvement behind it.
Doctors should have been skeptical even way before covid... there were plethora of evidence that pharmaceutical companies weren't on the level....
Agreed
Hats off for dr Nadir who elaborates all machanisms in a facinating and easy to understand yet full of interest.I listened every single word till the end.
information itself is mind blowing but very precious for practicing physicians .May Allah increase you in health and knowlege.proud of you.🦋
What a fantastic, educational interview.
Thank you both Dr. Ali and Dr. Berg. Its great to see you work together. Please do more of this!
Dr Berg is not only good presenter but also a good listener.
Superb discussion on LDL and facts around them vs doubts on their higher levels!
Great job, Doctors. You two are a true blessing for us! GOD bless both of you and your families!
In Sept I began a Keto diet. I found Dr Berg, who explained the science, so I switched to one meal a day Keto. Keto has resulted in a 50 lbs reduction in my weight... I lost the first 50 lbs on Adkins and got sick... so overall I am down nearly 100lbs from my peak. In December, I visited China in close proximity to lots of flu patients... miraculously, I did not get sick. Just had my blood tested and all levels are in normal ranges... so my experience with Keto has been quite positive.
Somehow it just seems easier for men to drop this kind of weight. I always plateau at 45 lbs and give up. Four times now. But now type 2 and doc wants me on trulicity and statins. I refuse. Here goes keto #5. Hope to get past the 45 lbs this time.
Dr.Berg guest is a nice good looking Dr. and he looks healthy and very kind and thank you both 👳🏻♀️🙏🙏
Yes and have you noticed or been seen by large or well unhealthy and unenthusiastic doctors have the nerve to just dismiss us and want to peddle their drugs. Some shouldnt be in practice!! Tg for Dr Berg, I so wish he lived local to me and was my doctor. We need to clone you Dr Berg 😁❤
Re doctors: "They don't want to listen to patients". That's so true. If you try to tell them your personal experience that conflicts with their thinking "you don't present well". Asking for a second opinion or preferring to find a clinician who understands is "doctor shopping". I just quit trying.
These two people are bosses of health in TH-cam world🔥
Dr. Nadir makes perfect sense! I started Keto 8 weeks ago. My colesterol was high already; LDL skyrocketed, yet all other indicators improved significantly. I crushed my Triglycerides from high leves to mid double digits (never before had the been that low). I will gladly shares my experience and test if Dr. Nadir finds it’ll help. Thanks for the video!!!
I am appreciative of both professional doctors are giving us the big data and information of how LDL works on our immune systems 👍
I Love Dr. Nadir Ali. Man!!! Then you have Dr. Berg. I'm so glad these guys love what they do. They are saving lives.
Yes plus Dr Jason Fung!!
