God bless you Dr. Berry! Your videos are so inspiring. I’ve been T1D since 1991. Followed ADA American DEATH association!!) guidelines for 30 years. I have retinopathy, neuropathy, Charcot foot disease, RA, and in 2020 was put on Vanderbilt kidney transplant list with eGFR of 14. Since beginning my keto journey in 2020 I lost 70lbs and reduced my A1C from 9, and 10 to 6. Inspired by your videos I began carnivore in January 2024. I’m down another 20lbs, off 2 blood pressure meds, blood pressure is 106/72. Last A1C was 5.4!! Best of all I’ve avoided dialysis and my kidneys are healing. My last eGFR was 29. All health issues are now either improving or stable. Off my RA medicine and dupixent. You don’t know me, but you’ve changed the quality of my life. Out of all the doctors that I’ve ever seen in my life, and that’s a lot…, you’ve made the most difference in my health! I’m a completely different person now! Full of joy, peace, and overflowing gratefulness! May God bless you and you wife!!
Just had my 6 year ketoversary!!! That was July 1 marking when I started this journey with you and Neisha. Been maintaining the 100 pounds weight loss since the weight came mostly during the first year. My family eats probably 90 percent keto and definitely low carb. There aren't enough words to say thank you. I'm 67 years old. Keto really was my last hope. Thank you!!!
Hey, Dr. Berry!! Thanks for your advice!! I’ve been low carb and keto for 1 1/3 years now. I’m feeling young again!! Great energy and no joint pain!! I’m 56 and happy to be keto!! I keep saying, “keto-Karen can do anything!” For years, I had to drag myself up the stairs with the handrail!! No more!! I walk up now like a normal person! We all love you Dr Berry!!!! Cousin Kenny is a real prince!!! ❤❤❤
I know how you feel, it's exciting to feel so much better. I'm didn't use to be able to lift one leg to put my trousers on. Now I can lift a leg and hold it with my hands held up above my head; ie I'm not wavering or having to try and balance.
Would a long term diet of just meat be as complete and successful for dogs as this is for humans? Searching for help with our dog dealing with allergies/itching.
@@joanbuller2673My dog is 14-1/2. He has been on a raw food Ketovore diet. He eats a tiny bit of vegetable. He is a small dog and has allergy problems. Not skin…he gets that inverted sneeze that small flat faced dogs get (he’s part frenchie). He also was attacked by a large dog when he was a puppy and has had seizures since then. We put him on a raw food diet and give him CBD twice daily and his seizures and inverted sneezing are almost nonexistent. The other half of him is dachshund and we have never had to worry about him gaining weight with the raw food diet.
I so happy I came across your channel. I live in South Africa I have been on high blood pressure meds for about 10 years my Dr put me on to stations for high ldl cholesterol which I kept on forgetting to take. My son told me he thinks I should change my diet. I am now on carnivore diet and feel great. Can I just stop my BP meds.
I've had stress incontinence for years. Maybe since I had my kids, but for sure since my mid to late-20s (I'm 52 now) and carnivore absolutely cured that for me. Among a VERY long list of other things.
@@khrystalkhoury62 Most things improved between one and three months, and some even in the first week or two, but I honestly can't remember how long it took for my stress incontinence to resolve, because I wasn't expecting it to and wasn't paying attention. Just one day I noticed.

Great questions. I appreciate getting answers to questions I hadn't thought of yet. I am 7 days into carnivore and 7 lbs down. I'm so excited for changes yet to come.
An unexpected benefit of carnivore is that my Dupuytren's Contracture has almost completely gone away in only three months. There was no pain, but it kept me from totally straightening my fingers on my right hand for several years, and there was a pronounced knot on my palm. That knot has shrunk 80%, and I have regained full mobility of my fingers. I'm doing the diet for my MS, but this is a nice side-benefit.
Replay. Thank you. I am currently meat based, carbs from home fermented kefir and cheese at times. Definitely feel better about myself. I've been encouraging others to watch your videos. My only backslide is alcohol. I blame stress (work) but I'm weaning down. Currently 30 pounds down since February. I watch your videos daily for inspiration. Thank you again
I found you from some random video popped up of Rini and Neisha and I was like who are theses people ? Hmm. Saw it in March and now I am full on carnivore. Not alcohol no fruit nada. Cutting down on cheese now.
You need to change the name to "The Diabetes Prevention Society". That says it all-and it will get the attention of the WORLD because that is exactly what they're looking for! People will then ask why the ADA isn't doing that. Then you win. The ADS is too similar to the ADA and people will confuse the two They will eventually give up on trying to remember the difference. It's not too late to change it and it will make your work so much easier for the public to understand.
I got so upset today. The last three times I have been to the Endocrinologist he has been on my case about my cholesterol which is 220...(200 is the highest allowed). Everything else is perfect. So, now he wants me to take Libitor. I refused. So he started giving me a lecture about how plugged up my arteries are and how my heart suffers. I asked him to give me a test to look at how "plugged" up my arteries are. He didn't know at first what that meant but looked it up on the computer and sent me for an ultrasound of my arteries on my neck. I will do that and then we shall see! I probably could have been somewhat more subtle in my refusal and feel a little bad but here we are. I did apologize for my "no filter" before I left. Just needed to vent a little here where people understand. Love you guys

I'm going to take my 50 year old British Royal bicycle to a bike shop and get new tires on it and resume riding the trails in my area. I sit in front of this screen too many hours a day! I've got 1/2 a beef heart in the grill at 350 degrees indirect heat, I'm shooting for 1 and 1/2 hours ,crossing my fingers.
Dr. Berry, I am 83 years old., am 5 ft tall, weighing 146 lbs. Have not been happy with my weight. I sorta started on the Carnivore diet, lost a couple pounds. I was eating lamb chops, some carbs and fruit. Figured out why I have only lost three lbs. Started watching some of your older TH-cam videos. Wow, thanks, going to the store now to get some fattier meats and no fruits or vegetables. Thanks again for the reminders! Any suggestions for this senior citizen wanting to lose weight?
on 7-11 i went into the emergency room with pains in my upper body. turned out i had a heart attack. i was 100% block in a artery and had to have a stent put in on 7-12. my sugar was 490 blood pressure was 177/? was released on 7-13 and i started my intermittent fast. i start my fast between7-9 p.m. and don't eat until 4or 5 the next evening. they told me i be on insulin rest of my life im 51yrs old. as of 5:00 p.m. on 7-17 my sugar was 129. thanks for all of your videos they help me a lot.
I am so glad the kidney disease question was brought up. I just had bloodwork and my creatinine is slightly low. The medical advice online warns against eating too much protein. I didn’t think that was right. I like the advice you gave and will continue with ketovore. This and fasting is helping my A1cgo down. Last measure was 6.1 from a previous 7.8 while I am recovering from major surgery.
Dr. Berry: Correction on keto diet with kidney stones -- you MUST watch out for oxalates intake on the keto diet if you have kidney stones. Oxalate overload from eating almonds, walnuts, and peanut butter gave hubby kidney stones (all low carb, low sugar foods). Outside of oxalate overloading (stay below 20 grams / day in oxalates if sensitive/ or 200 grams /day is no problems, then keto is fine. Ensure you get plenty of water intake.
Spinach, kale almonds, all.can cause these oxolate stones. A good reason for lemon water and youre magnesium be citrate, and maybe some Dr Btaggs ACV. I got a kidney stone on Keto due to my almond and greens obsession. It was horrible. I was told to ise ACV or lemon water. Mu last check shows no stones. My stone.was stuck in my ureter, it had to be lithotrypsied over Cbriatmas. I was at the airport to go see my baby grandson for the first rime. I was in denial. Dont take this lightly.
Thanks so much for your answer, Dr. Berry! So cool that you follow Jimmy! He really should have you on his show sometime...I've heard he's going Carnivore.! Thanks again! And yep, not surprised at all!
Love your videos Dr. Ken Berry. Why my blood glucose rises during fasting. I’m on Carnivore OMAD on my 4th day. Watching you while eating my ribeye. Don from Washington State. Thank you very much.
There aare some good posts on what can make.glucose rise in carnivores with illness and physicalnor emotional, or other cortisol releases. Your body increases its need for.glucose, so ir makes more. Goopd body, taking care of itself. But....cortisol needs to be controlled, streeful excercise(speints fine) extreme.exercize releases cortisol) emotional reaponses, easy anger, makes it happen.
When I found this... the part of not having to white knuckle my way through hunger was so exciting.. the first month I ate so many eggs I'm almost... almost embarrassed to say 2 dozen a day... just not being hungry or when I got hungry to go eat...I'm now 6 eggs a day and found a cup of fried in butter chicken livers... maybe a steak at night I'm good for the day.. but back in the beginning butter eggs and bacon still makes me cry not being bad for over eating... now 70 pounds down I'm eating to live not living to eat
Im glad you have a new web site! Looks great. I might suggest some links to your TH-cam channel. As a RN that would make it easier to recommend to patients who desperately need your advice. Many older patients don't know about TH-cam. Links would be awesome 👍
Last check echocardiogram down to 14% Ejection fraction, went carnivore and could feel the change in 4 days. Told several doctors it was in my stomach. On day 12 today, and feeling great.😊
My last echo had me at 20% EFR (I have congestive heart failure-CHF). I just had another one done on 3 Jul but won't know the results until 30 Jul...when I see the cardiologist. I also feel great. To be clear though, I'm keto not carnivore. Walk 6-7 miles a day and off most meds...not all. Still take one for my CHF and one for my thyroid condition. I encourage you to keep it up but still be careful and follow your docs plan/meds as needed. Once you're more improved, you can probably come off of some of the meds.
@@MK-ft3qt I was an undiagnosed CHF patient in June 2020 when I went to the ER and found out I was suffering from CHF with a 10-15% EFR. I'm still here. Have I changed my lifestyle? Yes. Has my EFR improved? Yes but not a lot. Last echo (Aug 023) showed 20% EFR. Most recent echo was done on 3 Jul but I haven't gotten those results yet. I do feel great though & walk 6-7 miles a day.
@@MK-ft3qt Absolutely! Everyday. I just break it up throughout the day. No more than 2-2.5 miles at a clip. Not on O2, only take the lowest dose of carvedilol, and I do have an ICD but it has never discharged.
Watching from Medicine Hat Alberta Canada I’ve lost 40 pounds just by cutting out sugar, carbs and grains. I started by wanting to keep my blood sugar level as I was on holidays and Dominican and passed out and hit my head realizing that it was low blood sugar and my father is diabetic after researching the keto diet now that I am 40 pounds lighter. I don’t have any more joint pain. I feel better than I have in years.
Someone has probably already mentioned this, but if you are going to make home-made yogurt, an instantpot (or equivalent -- I have a Ninja Foodi) is wonderful. I've had dairy goats for most of the last forty years or so, and had tried to make yogurt many times. I had good success with cheeses, and made kefir regularly, but was never happy with my home-made yogurt until I made it in an instantpot.
I've been doing low carb and IF for almost 2 years. Lost 40 pounds. I've reduced my insulin use from 70 to 20 per day. I still have bad insulin resistance. Last month I told my doctor that I'm thinking about doing carnivore (at least ketovore). He doesn't want me to but I think it will work for me. I want to get off the insulin injections!
I think I have a weakened abdominal wall have not been diagnosed as hernia yet. Some slight pain froom time to time. Will meat based diet ease possible hernia. I want to have see PCP to get oopinuon?

Oreland, PA here. I’m just a month in to carnivore. I began June 4th. I feel like I’m doing really well. I basically eat, meat and eggs and some cheese and milk. Not a lot of dairy though. I have not given up cream in my coffee. I’ve given up so much I’m just not ready to give up cream in coffee. I wake up every morning and my ankles and legs look normal but very soon after that and throughout the day my right leg especially at my ankle swells up. By evening it is more swelled than the morning. By the next day all is back to normal and the process begins again. I feel fine. My blood pressure is normal now with only one month on carnivore. I was taking 25 mg of losartin and 25 mg of HCT (first the HCT since that had been just prescribed) then the Losartin and my BP was going way to low so I weaned off of that also. At my doctor appt my bp was 139/90 with no med and even the doctor said it was because I was at his office. Typically it is in the 120’s/anywhere from mid 60’s to 83. Any thoughts on this one?
Yes! I watched the Jimmy Dore clip. I think the FDA would do it! But, I don't trust Big Pharma on making that! I think we can increase our own ability to make it.
@@khrystalkhoury62 I've had two caesars, I'm in my mid 60s. I never became incontinent, but did dread sneezing because I would leak a bit; and when I sneeze it is usually a minimum of 3 and full on sneezes, not just a little achoo. I've been low carb since Oct 2021, am down to my ideal weight and can sneeze without leaking now, unless I end up sneezing 5 or 6 times because by that time I cannot hold my pelvic floor muscles. I have been doing pelvic floor exercises over the last 4 years but I think it was a combination of losing the weight and the exercises that have helped in this area. I started low carb after being diagnosed with diabetes, which was remitted after less then 3 months. This year I've been eating a lot more meat.
Dr. Berry, don't you think it's time for a restriction on advertisements by big food and big pharma? As a retired nurse, I find the barrage of adverts repugnant. I believe some kind of regulation is required.
Check your temp and pulse if you're not hungry though. I have to eat 2MAD because I can't eat a lot at one meal. OMAD daily causes my metabolism to hault.
You are going to hate this comment but they are researching red light therapy for macular degeneration. My eyesight has improved from 2 years ago. I thought it was purely keto but then saw they are researching red light therapy for the eyes. We have concentrated red light receptors in the eyes and heart. I meditate in red light every morning. Maybe combination of both? I didn’t have macular degeneration though. I have astigmatism and type 2 with no retinopathy thank goodness. And A1C has normalized. So not sure why but first time eyesight has improved at 60 from 16 when I got glasses to drive. Still need glasses to drive though! 😅 Oh! My dad had glaucoma and my pressure was getting a little high - my pressure decreased, TOO!!!
Hi Dr Berry suffering with osteoarthiritis been on carnivore for 3 months dropped 3 stone in weight knees still hurt and range of movement pretty bad thought it was oxilate dumping . Now trying systemic proteolytic enzymes supplement on top of my carnivore and it has taken away the stiffness and majority of pain .fingers cross it continues.
If you are consuming seed oils you might try cutting them out. Steve of Serious Keto notices the difference when he has them and then when he stops them.
Taurine and glycine powder amino acid supplements may help. Both are good for the gut and inflammation. Recommended dosing is 1-6g taurine 5-10g glycine.
I have bacon and eggs for first meal and then beef and pork for my 2nd. Use lard and sometimes butter . Its knees and the stiffness that still effect me . Although not as bad the pain is 50% less than it use to be but still walk with difficulty and definatly cannot run .
@@fatwhitebloke9851 I noticed a difference in my arthritic finger pain about 1 year after going low carb; they weren't aching in the winter like they had done the year before when I had to wear compression gloves during the day. Three months is not very long. You possibly still have some inflammation. The fact that you have noticed an improvement in the pain shows that what you are doing is benefiting you. You've lost 3 stone which is fantastic; so much less for your poor knees to carry around. I carried 2 bags of meat containing a total of just under a stone recently and was shocked to realise that I had lost just over 3 times that amount; I've just realised that you have lost about the same amount, I've lost nearly 3.5 stone. Dave of No Carb Life channel said that he has bone on bone in his knees and no pain. I have arthritis and 2 tears in my left knee meniscus. I have good and not so good days but I think it was much worse before changing my diet.
I've just remembered that 18 months ago I stopped my omega 3 capsules for 1 months (I went off everything before having a blood test) and my arthritis was more uncomfortable. I've now cut back to 1 capsule instead of 2 because I am eating a lot more fish and have stopped the nuts; I was eating a lot of almond flour which is high in omega 6 and I'm using coconut flour now.
I’ve had eye pressure on the higher side for at least 10 years. I’ve been doing keto for a year and my pressure is normal now.

i can vouch it reversed my diverticulitis and divertuculosis. i havent had any issues or flareups since carnivore.
That's great to hear, I'm hoping for the same thing 😊
on 7-11 i went into the emergency room with pains in my upper body. turned out i had a heart attack. i was 100% block in a artery and had to have a stent put in on 7-12. my sugar was 490 blood pressure was 177/? was released on 7-13 and i started my intermittent fast. i start my fast between7-9 p.m. and don't eat until 4or 5 the next evening. they told me i be on insulin rest of my life im 51yrs old. as of 5:00 p.m. on 7-17 my sugar was 129. thanks for all of your videos they help me a lot.
I am so glad the kidney disease question was brought up. I just had bloodwork and my creatinine is slightly low. The medical advice online warns against eating too much protein. I didn’t think that was right. I like the advice you gave and will continue with ketovore. This and fasting is helping my A1cgo down. Last measure was 6.1 from a previous 7.8 while I am recovering from major surgery.
Dr. Berry: Correction on keto diet with kidney stones -- you MUST watch out for oxalates intake on the keto diet if you have kidney stones. Oxalate overload from eating almonds, walnuts, and peanut butter gave hubby kidney stones (all low carb, low sugar foods). Outside of oxalate overloading (stay below 20 grams / day in oxalates if sensitive/ or 200 grams /day is no problems, then keto is fine. Ensure you get plenty of water intake.
Spinach, kale almonds, all.can cause these oxolate stones. A good reason for lemon water and youre magnesium be citrate, and maybe some Dr Btaggs ACV. I got a kidney stone on Keto due to my almond and greens obsession. It was horrible. I was told to ise ACV or lemon water. Mu last check shows no stones.
My stone.was stuck in my ureter, it had to be lithotrypsied over Cbriatmas. I was at the airport to go see my baby grandson for the first rime. I was in denial.
Dont take this lightly.

Good morning Dr Berry. I need this so much this morning. Thank you. 😊
Just ordered my first “a la carte” burger patties. Can’t remember the last time I didn’t order fries and all the rest. Excited to try this!
With how crazy this world is getting, now is the time to change our lifestyle, diet and get in shape!
Georgia, USA and you are my hero sir!
Thanks so much for your answer, Dr. Berry! So cool that you follow Jimmy! He really should have you on his show sometime...I've heard he's going Carnivore.! Thanks again! And yep, not surprised at all!
Stopped smoking a year ago, now up 10 lbs in mid section. Not happy. I was 112, now 122. Yes metabolism has changed!
Love your videos Dr. Ken Berry. Why my blood glucose rises during fasting. I’m on Carnivore OMAD on my 4th day. Watching you while eating my ribeye. Don from Washington State. Thank you very much.
I'm eating my ribeye as well while watching!
There aare some good posts on what can make.glucose rise in carnivores with illness and physicalnor emotional, or other cortisol releases. Your body increases its need for.glucose, so ir makes more.
Goopd body, taking care of itself.
But....cortisol needs to be controlled, streeful excercise(speints fine) extreme.exercize releases cortisol) emotional reaponses, easy anger, makes it happen.
@@lindawick455 I wonder if that means the A1-C will be high as well
When I found this... the part of not having to white knuckle my way through hunger was so exciting.. the first month I ate so many eggs I'm almost... almost embarrassed to say 2 dozen a day... just not being hungry or when I got hungry to go eat...I'm now 6 eggs a day and found a cup of fried in butter chicken livers... maybe a steak at night I'm good for the day.. but back in the beginning butter eggs and bacon still makes me cry not being bad for over eating... now 70 pounds down I'm eating to live not living to eat
Thank you so much Dr. Berry.
Im glad you have a new web site! Looks great. I might suggest some links to your TH-cam channel. As a RN that would make it easier to recommend to patients who desperately need your advice. Many older patients don't know about TH-cam. Links would be awesome 👍

Last check echocardiogram down to 14% Ejection fraction, went carnivore and could feel the change in 4 days. Told several doctors it was in my stomach. On day 12 today, and feeling great.😊
14 % ejection fraction is a death sentence....what are you talking about?
My last echo had me at 20% EFR (I have congestive heart failure-CHF). I just had another one done on 3 Jul but won't know the results until 30 Jul...when I see the cardiologist. I also feel great. To be clear though, I'm keto not carnivore. Walk 6-7 miles a day and off most meds...not all. Still take one for my CHF and one for my thyroid condition. I encourage you to keep it up but still be careful and follow your docs plan/meds as needed. Once you're more improved, you can probably come off of some of the meds.
@@MK-ft3qt I was an undiagnosed CHF patient in June 2020 when I went to the ER and found out I was suffering from CHF with a 10-15% EFR. I'm still here. Have I changed my lifestyle? Yes. Has my EFR improved? Yes but not a lot. Last echo (Aug 023) showed 20% EFR. Most recent echo was done on 3 Jul but I haven't gotten those results yet. I do feel great though & walk 6-7 miles a day.
@@hillerps You walk 6 to 7 miles with CHF?
@@MK-ft3qt Absolutely! Everyday. I just break it up throughout the day. No more than 2-2.5 miles at a clip. Not on O2, only take the lowest dose of carvedilol, and I do have an ICD but it has never discharged.
Watching from Medicine Hat Alberta Canada I’ve lost 40 pounds just by cutting out sugar, carbs and grains. I started by wanting to keep my blood sugar level as I was on holidays and Dominican and passed out and hit my head realizing that it was low blood sugar and my father is diabetic after researching the keto diet now that I am 40 pounds lighter. I don’t have any more joint pain. I feel better than I have in years.
Im on Quora. I shared this video today with someone who is having a hard time losing weight. She’s significantly overweight

Someone has probably already mentioned this, but if you are going to make home-made yogurt, an instantpot (or equivalent -- I have a Ninja Foodi) is wonderful. I've had dairy goats for most of the last forty years or so, and had tried to make yogurt many times. I had good success with cheeses, and made kefir regularly, but was never happy with my home-made yogurt until I made it in an instantpot.

I've been doing low carb and IF for almost 2 years. Lost 40 pounds.
I've reduced my insulin use from 70 to 20 per day. I still have bad insulin resistance. Last month I told my doctor that I'm thinking about doing carnivore (at least ketovore). He doesn't want me to but I think it will work for me. I want to get off the insulin injections!
Yes do it. I bet you will wish you had done it sooner
I would NOT be surprised

Oreland, PA here. I’m just a month in to carnivore. I began June 4th. I feel like I’m doing really well. I basically eat, meat and eggs and some cheese and milk. Not a lot of dairy though. I have not given up cream in my coffee. I’ve given up so much I’m just not ready to give up cream in coffee. I wake up every morning and my ankles and legs look normal but very soon after that and throughout the day my right leg especially at my ankle swells up. By evening it is more swelled than the morning. By the next day all is back to normal and the process begins again. I feel fine. My blood pressure is normal now with only one month on carnivore. I was taking 25 mg of losartin and 25 mg of HCT (first the HCT since that had been just prescribed) then the Losartin and my BP was going way to low so I weaned off of that also. At my doctor appt my bp was 139/90 with no med and even the doctor said it was because I was at his office. Typically it is in the 120’s/anywhere from mid 60’s to 83. Any thoughts on this one?
Watching a day late from Kansas.
Yes! I watched the Jimmy Dore clip. I think the FDA would do it! But, I don't trust Big Pharma on making that! I think we can increase our own ability to make it.

65yo, birthed six kids, no incontinence.
My mother only had three kids but was a carb and seed oil addict. Totally incontinent in her 30's.
Because of carnivore? Have you ever been incontinent? I had 4, also incontinent in my 30,s. I'm now 64, one week in rtnw.
@@khrystalkhoury62 I've had two caesars, I'm in my mid 60s. I never became incontinent, but did dread sneezing because I would leak a bit; and when I sneeze it is usually a minimum of 3 and full on sneezes, not just a little achoo. I've been low carb since Oct 2021, am down to my ideal weight and can sneeze without leaking now, unless I end up sneezing 5 or 6 times because by that time I cannot hold my pelvic floor muscles. I have been doing pelvic floor exercises over the last 4 years but I think it was a combination of losing the weight and the exercises that have helped in this area. I started low carb after being diagnosed with diabetes, which was remitted after less then 3 months. This year I've been eating a lot more meat.
@khrystalkhoury62
I was starting to have difficulty. I started seriously hiking, which helped but had complete recovery after starting carnivore.
Dr. Berry, don't you think it's time for a restriction on advertisements by big food and big pharma? As a retired nurse, I find the barrage of adverts repugnant. I believe some kind of regulation is required.
Vote for JFKJR. He has a plan to stop all pharma commercials on TV!

Hi Dr. B. 68 FROM ALEXANDRIA MINNESOTA, JUST STARTING OUT,,,GOD BLESS YOU❤ BELLY FAT😢
Started carnivore 4 months ago and lost 32 pounds so far. Went from 310 to 278. I have a long ways to go but its a start!
Check your temp and pulse if you're not hungry though. I have to eat 2MAD because I can't eat a lot at one meal. OMAD daily causes my metabolism to hault.
Foamy urine can also be a sign of dehydration. Drink more water/electrolytes.

You are going to hate this comment but they are researching red light therapy for macular degeneration. My eyesight has improved from 2 years ago. I thought it was purely keto but then saw they are researching red light therapy for the eyes. We have concentrated red light receptors in the eyes and heart. I meditate in red light every morning. Maybe combination of both? I didn’t have macular degeneration though. I have astigmatism and type 2 with no retinopathy thank goodness. And A1C has normalized. So not sure why but first time eyesight has improved at 60 from 16 when I got glasses to drive. Still need glasses to drive though! 😅
Oh! My dad had glaucoma and my pressure was getting a little high - my pressure decreased, TOO!!!
Are you wearing the glasses with red light?
@@SamanthaJasmer1 no but I close me eyes mostly. The manufacturer recommends wearing those light blocking goggles you’d wear in a tanning booth.
Hi Dr Berry suffering with osteoarthiritis been on carnivore for 3 months dropped 3 stone in weight knees still hurt and range of movement pretty bad thought it was oxilate dumping . Now trying systemic proteolytic enzymes supplement on top of my carnivore and it has taken away the stiffness and majority of pain .fingers cross it continues.
If you are consuming seed oils you might try cutting them out. Steve of Serious Keto notices the difference when he has them and then when he stops them.
Taurine and glycine powder amino acid supplements may help. Both are good for the gut and inflammation. Recommended dosing is 1-6g taurine 5-10g glycine.
I have bacon and eggs for first meal and then beef and pork for my 2nd. Use lard and sometimes butter . Its knees and the stiffness that still effect me .
Although not as bad the pain is 50% less than it use to be but still walk with difficulty and definatly cannot run .
@@fatwhitebloke9851 I noticed a difference in my arthritic finger pain about 1 year after going low carb; they weren't aching in the winter like they had done the year before when I had to wear compression gloves during the day. Three months is not very long. You possibly still have some inflammation. The fact that you have noticed an improvement in the pain shows that what you are doing is benefiting you. You've lost 3 stone which is fantastic; so much less for your poor knees to carry around. I carried 2 bags of meat containing a total of just under a stone recently and was shocked to realise that I had lost just over 3 times that amount; I've just realised that you have lost about the same amount, I've lost nearly 3.5 stone. Dave of No Carb Life channel said that he has bone on bone in his knees and no pain. I have arthritis and 2 tears in my left knee meniscus. I have good and not so good days but I think it was much worse before changing my diet.
I've just remembered that 18 months ago I stopped my omega 3 capsules for 1 months (I went off everything before having a blood test) and my arthritis was more uncomfortable. I've now cut back to 1 capsule instead of 2 because I am eating a lot more fish and have stopped the nuts; I was eating a lot of almond flour which is high in omega 6 and I'm using coconut flour now.
