- Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome is no longer a mystery. Research is revealing exactly what causes it, and exactly what you can do to reverse it. There is no mystery, the suffering you experience is very real, and is cause by what you eat.
Foods and products that elevate your glucose, and keep your insulin level chronically high, cause both the fat-gain and the inflammation that keeps PCOS raging in your body. In this video, I will tell you about the latest research, and what you can do to improve your PCOS symptoms immediately.

This really works. My daughter was told there would never be a baby by multiple doctors. She started seeing a new doctor because her BP was getting high and he put her on keto for that and he warned her ( because she was 39) that she needed to be careful because keto reverses PCOS and she laughed at him . 2 months later she was pregnant at 39 for the first time and gave birth to a beautiful baby boy, 2 years later she had a beautiful baby girl. Both normal and healthy!!! KETO WORKS FOR PCOS!!!
👍👍👍👍😊
I wish keto worked for me. I did it when I was in the middle of dropping weight and building muscle. It gave me heart palpations and made the extra manly hair growth kick up 75% 😭

@@sonyafromtheh6225 Hello, I was curious on what your main source of protein was if you don't mind sharing? Do you think you were getting enough fat in your diet at the time? :) There may be several reasons why for the symptoms that you experienced from trying the keto diet.
❤❤❤❤❤ gives me so much hope, I’m 35 ❤❤❤❤
I have PCOS and have been following a whole foods ketogenic diet and using intermittent fasting. I’m finally losing weight (53 pounds to date) and my menstrual cycles are getting lighter and more regular. My acne has also cleared up and my skin is glowing now. It really does work!
Not for everyone.
Same here. Period is back!
@@reesedaniel5835 Didn't it change anything for you? No weight loss, better skin, more energy (except in the first weeks), etc?
For how long did you eat strict keto?
Did you stop cheese?
@@dinaleon2739 Life long acne (from age 11 to 53) gone in 1 week of keto/no dairy. If I'd only known even just quitting dairy would be so effective--I suffered needlessly all that time.
Since starting keto, fasting, and having a work out regime, the hair hair on my chin and stomach has improved.
improved means they are now growing less ?
I have had severe PCOS since my late teens/early 20s. Up until a year ago I felt totally helpless to ever have any relief. I started keto January 2020 and by July 2020 I had a regular menstrual, lost 60 pounds and 75% of my symptoms were gone. Currently I have transitioned to carnivore and I am down 6 clothes sizes and 100 pounds. Also 99.9% of my PCOS symptoms are gone.
Do you eat cheese and dairy products ?
Wow that's awesome! I started carnivore 1 month ago and hope for the same results!
Thankx
I had one of the most severe cases of PCOS that my fertility specialist had ever seen. I was on 5 medications at one time when I was 18 just to keep myself from fainting, pre diabetes, to keep my weight stable, to not bleed out. I confidently proclaim to everyone who will listen that Dr. Berry is the reason I am PCOS free. I firmly believe this man saved my life. I may even be able to have children one day, which is something that was NEVER an option before. Thank you, Dr. Berry. You and Neisha are amazing
Awesome! 👏
any updates? I hope you got to be a mama :)
@@RubyLuna7 No kids yet, but all in God's timing! My health is still amazing so I can't complain.
I honestly thought I had the worst PCOS. I think I have every symptom of this monstrous disease, u name it, I have it smh.
I have the bleeding out to the worst degree, I almost lost my life to it a few years ago. It took me 8 months before my period stopped completely. I have to get blood and plasma transfusions. Thats actually happened the past two times I've gotten my cycle. Its so scary.
I have had PCOS for over 30 years. I started keto last May and have since transitioned to carnivore. Pre diabetes resolved quickly. I now have regular periods and acne is resolved. Hirsutism is gradually starting to improve. I have lost 40 lbs and several clothing sizes so far. In addition, I have been able to stop 8 medications for GERD, allergic rhinitis, IBS, chronic pain, and insomnia. The mental clarity and mood stability are great - no more brain fog! I feel the zero carb zen. I have had only mild improvements in chronic migraine, fibromyalgia and asthma so far. Wish I had known about this WOE many years ago and its effect on health.
May I ask, how long on Keto before you transitioned to Carnivore? What did you do t make the transition easy? I have PCOS and Hyperthyroidism. Has the Gastric Sleeve 1 year ago, and only lost about 35. I'm almost feel like I have no hope!
World of Ritamay Honey there is hope with carnivore which will help fight the cravings and reset your system, heal your gut, plus also avoid plant foods because of oxalates. Important to make it a way of life, avoid cheating and your body will heal month after month and you’ll get your life back!
Della Dearest my friend has PCOS and hyperthyroidism and so she’s had some of the symptoms of both, gained weight and cannot lose weight even with the hyper thyroidism. I’m going to send this to her but unfortunately she has full-blown diabetes, hyperthyroidism, and PCOS and probably some autoimmune stuff. One daughter has lymphedema, and her one daughter has scleroderma terminal but through the help of a medical doctor Chinese doctor he saved her life and at 31 had her first baby but that will probably be her only baby since it takes a lot out of the body but they only gave her very short time to live at diagnosis at 16 but here she is occupational therapist and mother and wife. A miracle, truly a miracle for Jesse. I want a miracle for my friend. Any help with PCOS and ‘Hyperthiroidism’ would appreciate ideas for her. kheim64 at yahoo dot com. Karen
Karen H Hello, please educate yourself by watching RUclips videos by Sally K. Norton and others about oxalates and how we can heal ourselves from it. Also carnivore, especially grass fed, bone broth, collagen, B vitamins etc. take notes and it’s important not to cheat when we’re so unhealthy because it slows down the healing process. This is a learning process and healing can take a long time. Also, we have to accept the fact that we cannot expect miracles because our Heavenly Father has the best miracle to come when his Son removes all human kingdoms with his own which will restore humans to perfection and we will never be sick ever again! Daniel 2:44. Rev 21:3,4 !
Congratulations!!! Did you cut out coffee as well?
I have PCOS am 34 years old and I’m starting this today. No more years of my life stolen by carbs! I hate them and today it’s over!!!!
How are you now? ❤
Yes, any updates? @Jessicadon240
tell me, how are you now ?
I was diagnosed with PCOS when I was 21 years old, it was so bad I had a cyst so large that it had to be surgically removed. The depression, weight gain and other symptoms felt overwhelming. Doctors said it was a benign condition but for something so “benign” it seem to affect every aspect of my life. I was told lots of women have it, here’s a prescription. After years of feeling hopeless, I started with low carb diet and worked my way to keto. I lost 50 pds. My cholesterol dropped 60 points, my hemoglobin A1c dropped to 5.2 and I felt amazing. My periods returned and I finally had energy! Start now because the only thing you will regret is not starting sooner!
I am 37. I have PCOS. I hadn't had a period in YEARS. 5 months After starting keto and IF, I have a normal cycle, I am ovulating confirmed with ovulation predictor kit and basal Body temping. My lab work is all normal. My period is on schedule and lasts about 3 days. It's amazing.
Congratulations! Do you include coffee daily?
I am a 25-yo woman who's had PCOS since 16. Ever since I started keto, I have lost over 8kg ( about 16lbs) sustainably, and I have gotten permanent, monthly periods that I never had without the medication I was prescribed when I was younger when I was told I would never have a chance to have children. If you suffer from this, please listen to this good doctor here, he's definitely right. Have strength my PCOS sisters!
I am praying for a baby after a lifetime of 'silent' (normal weight) PCOS. Please pray for my husband & I-- we've been trying since our early twenties
Prayers 🙏
May God give you and your husband a baby. Amen.
I had 3 miscarriages while trying, I also was normal weight and had no idea I had pcos. Got on a keto diet and got pregnant and now I have a 7 months old baby girl. It’s possible just keep going ❤❤❤
@@allydresker556how long were you doing keto for? Also I’m so happy for you! That’s amazing
@@Chachachachachia I started keto and not even 2 months later got pregnant and stayed pregnant 🥰
I really wish when I was younger that they even had a name for this. I am 65 and using keto and have finally lost weight 30 # so far and so glad I found this.
I'm a PCOS patient and have been on keto just over a year. I have noticed my unwanted facial hair growth has slowed down a lot. I lose weight slowly due to having thyroid issues. Thank you for your information.
really?? you gave me hope 😭😭😭😭 did the thick dark hair become thinner for you ?! did you remove hair by waxing or laser ? cuz i had rosacea that why laser not good for me.
your reply will make a lot for me
Found Dr. Berry through researching PCOS. My doctor wanted to put me on MetFormin which led me to do my research. I have been following Dr. Berry Keto since Thanksgiving of 2019 and virtually ALL of my PCOS symptoms that have haunted me since puberty are GONE. Periods like clockwork, not more chronic UTI’s, and ACNE that I’ve been fighting for the last TWO DECADES is completely GONE. Dr. Berry’s videos were a God send and I am so grateful. I finally have an explanation for what’s ACTUALLY wrong with me instead of an endless list of medical solutions that mask each individual symptom to a degree with no real relief or real answers to what is going wrong with my relatively young body. This knowledge is truly power and I cannot express my gratitude enough for Dr. Berry, his family, and his message.
Back in 2016 I was sick of being over weight and unhealthy. I was diagnosed with PCOS in 2000. Through the years I gained weight, had irregular menstrual cycles, body hairs, bad acne and acne scarring. My gyno prescribed provera to force myself to get my cycle every month since I didn’t want to go on birth control. So I finally decided to go to a doctor who specialized in nutrition. He put me on basically a super strict keto diet. The first two months I wasn’t allowed to have any carbs. If a label had a carb, it would be less than 1 gram of carbs. It was literally dark leafy greens, fatty meats, and cheese. On the third month I finally started adding low carb veggies and avocados. Every week they would check my vitals and I would go in to get b12 shots. I felt good and amazing! Within that three months of dieting and learning nutrition, I got my menstrual cycle back. My doctor warned me in the beginning that a lot of women who had a hard time getting pregnant or had pcos, ended up pregnant off of his program. I thought it was a joke. I laughed and told him that a few infertility doctors told me it would be nearly impossible. Anyways, a few more months go by and I ended up pregnant. I now have a beautiful, healthy, smart 3 year old boy. Ladies do not give up hope. A lot of us with pcos go through depression thinking it is not possible, but it is. Try the ketogenic diet. Do it for your health. I am currently making a month going back and my energy levels are up. I’m still irregular, but I know once I get back to a healthy weight it will come back. Keto is literally life changing for pcos. Best wishes to you all
Not only did I have PCOS I also had ADHD depression anxiety hypothyroid. My adhd symptoms are down 90% no more depression anxiety or PCOS and my thyroid seems to have healed itself! Keto works!
Congratulations! Do you include coffee daily?
@@lindsaymiguel8361 I was drinking coffee one cup a day and now I drink a organic green tea loose leaf (hot) I only buy it when I can catch it on sale but it does the trick. It’s not mandatory to get organic I just do it for my own personal liking.
Thank you!
I have suffered with PCOS for years. I had to undergo fertility treatments in order to get pregnant with my first child. I started a keto diet last year and within the very first couple of months my cycle regulated. We decided to try for another baby and was able to conceive within the second month of trying. We couldn't believe it since we had tried for YEARS in the past. Keto/carnivore is absolutely amazing. ❤❤❤
Congratulations!! Do you include coffee daily?
I have PCOS and have been on keto for a month and a half. I started at 160LBS and today am 148LBS. I am amazed at how well this is working!!
Congratulations!! Do you include coffee daily?
@@lindsaymiguel8361 Yes I did.
Thank you!
Are you on keto now?
@@manishah9662 Not anymore.
I have really bad PCOS. I have not had a menstrual cycle in about 16 months before starting Keto. Once I started keto, I have lost a total of 40lbs, and got my period back within a month of starting. I have had my period every month since starting without fail and the inappropriate hair on my neck and chin have almost completely gone away. I feel better today than I ever had in my life.
You posted it long ago but may I ask, what about that unwanted hair? Can it be reduced. How are things now. Are you still doing low carb?
Have suffered with PCOS for many, many years and it went undiagnosed for several yrs until I was 30! I wish I would have known then what I know now. Thanks so much for sharing this information and it's encouraging to know there is hope out there for the younger ladies. Also good to know I can make changes now that will help me age healthier!! Thanks again!!
I was diagnosed with PCOS 12 years ago. I've been on the Ketogenic diet for a year and it caused an amazing turn around with decreasing my symptoms of PCOS. I also avoid all soy based foods. Soy causes PCOS symptoms to get worse. Thank you
Dr. Berry for posting this video.
💕
Congratulations!!! Do you include coffee daily?
I was rejected for fertility support in the uk due to my bmi. I was never advised to go keto or low carb. I was told to lose weight but always standard low fat diet. I was prescribed metformin which i took for 1 yr but it gave me horrendous side effects.
I started keto myself and im losing slowly but after 9 months i no longer have polycystic ovaries.
I have Lipedema and lymphedema. It also causes weight loss to be really hard from the waist down. I’ve been on every diet and even weightloss surgery 20 years ago. Since I started REAL keto 9 months ago, I cannot believe how many inches I’ve lost on my hips and legs. 75 lbs down. Inflammation gone! Thank you Dr. Berry
I have PCOS, diagnosed at 16 when my periods just stopped. I'm 38 years old and only got pregnant with my girls, now teenager's either on birth control or immediately stopping birth control. I stayed on the pill until my 15 year old was 5 as we wanted another baby but my periods never returned and I never ovulated on my own. I started keto in September and I got my cycles back all on their own after TEN YEARS as of last month! My chin hair growth is slowing down and my hair seems to be growing back some. I'm also 42 pounds down so far with 48 pounds to go to goal weight, keto has changed my life forever! Going back for more labs in a week and a half ❤️
Michelle Mcpherson That’s awesome!! Please update after? 💖
I'm with you on getting pregnant while on birth control 😂, first time was a shock, second time birth control was used to control a 3 month old period.
@@morganmiller6373 I sure will!
@@ma2manytx it was a shock but so lucky I did because that was it ! My babies are 15 and 17 now and I love them so much! Although now at 38 I need to get on birth control or something because we are NOT starting over 😂 I can see the finish line in the distance 😂
Keto helped me get pregnant twice and I now have two beautiful children. I have PCOS.
Doc, thank you so much for remembering me. PCOS is hard, but Keto is making it manageable. I'm down 40 pounds since I first started keto last January! I've watched ALL of your videos, and each one helps me get better! God bless you and Neisha!
I have known I have PCOS since I was 16. Now 40. Keto has helped me in so many ways. My second child is my greatest treasure from keto. My hormones were out of control. With keto I’m healing my body. My period went from 8 days to 4!
Wow! Congratulations! Do you include coffee daily?
I was diagnosed with PCOS 20 years ago. I’ve been keto 1.5 years, although my weightloss has been slow- I’m down 50lbs, off all medications and finally have a regular period (like clockwork, that’s never happened pre-keto!) and they’re less painful. I could go on and on with all the benefits I’ve had from eating a ketogenic diet.
If anyone is on the fence with trying it, do it. You won’t regret it.
I am 155cm tall and I have always been 45-53kg. So I'm slim. I have PCOS since 18yo. I'm 25 now. And I'm a medical student in my last year. I couldn't cure PCOS with any pills. I'm trying since I started medical school. In 2021 I found out about keto and I made my research. I started it and I'm on keto for about 3-4 months. It's not easy to stay away from sweet food, pizza and fruits so I cheat sometimes. But in these 4 months I had 4 menstrual cycles. And before keto I had 4 cycles for the whole year. Keto works so far and I'm very happy ☺️! Now I need to do it with less to none cheat days and I believe I will finally have regular cycles. I will do my hormonal tests then and my echo to see what's new in my ovaries and blood ❤️🥰 When I become an endocrinologist I will tell my PCOS patients to try keto!
Hi, anyway i can mssg you somewhere.. my story is kinda similar and im really desperate for some help
How are you now? ❤
What I would’ve given to have this information decades ago...PCOS ruined my life. No doctors knew/cared to find out how to treat the horrible side effects of this disease back then.
I’ve been diagnosed with PCOS for 17 years now. I had hirsutism on my chin and chest, abdominal obesity, acne on my back, acanthosis nigricans (dark, velvety patches on my skin), and thin, balding, greasy hair. I also would have irregular menstrual periods that lasted for weeks, or would be absent for months. Since going Keto, the acne and acanthosis nigricans are completely gone. I lost 105 lbs in about 16 months, and am still working on my weight. I’ve hit a stall on the scale the last few months, but I’m losing inches still. My periods are regular like clockwork, and I now feel like I could get pregnant (As a young adult, I made peace with the fact that I might not be able to conceive). This diet is amazing...I never thought I’d be able to put these symptoms behind me, but Keto has healed a lot of my underlying disorders. I still have insulin resistance, but it’s slowly getting better. If you have PCOS, I urge you to try this diet!
Congratulations!! Did your hair grow back??
My situation is soo similar to what u were in, surely trying this.
Why don’t you try Carnivore ? … I’ve heard so so many people Say they plateaued on keto and completed their recovery and weight loss on carnivore.
Do you do keto or carnivore can one have greens? And veggies .. what meats are best .. ever have hairloss shedding ? I' think mu 2 hr insulin fasting is high 130pmol.. what is best help
Great video! However, at least some of this knowledge has been out there for quiet a while, only most doctors (at least in my country) are not interested. The (international) medical society have known the connection between PCOS and insulin resistance and the high risk of diabetes 2 a long time - yet, they don't check for insulin resistance, nor do they tell their PCOS-patients to cut out sugars and reduce carbs to reduce risk of diabetes 2. I think it is bordering criminal negligence. So much unnecessary suffering! It is such a good thing you are talking about this, Dr! Thank you!
Thankyou for uploading this. I’ve been struggling heaps with this condition lately. Very helpful.
Having PCOS, I'd never felt better than when I was on Keto
Congratulations!! Do you include coffee daily?
Black coffee once a day with MCT oil while doing IF was great. Only on weekdays tho.
Ok thank you!!
I was finally diagnosed with PCOS at 28. I had been to many doctors who just dismissed my symptoms and didn’t want to treat me. I take Metformin but have struggled with obesity since I was 14. Thanks for talking about this and keep us up to date on any new research on PCOS
Thank you, Dr. Berry! This is such valuable information. Thank you for all you do!
I lost both ovaries to that disease. >:( . Doc advised that "we might as well take both out to eliminate the cancer risk ..." and my husband agreed ... nobody asked me. >:(
you have to speak up for yourself, no one else will!
I am sorry :(
Thank you, Dr. Berry! Sharing to my granddaughter with PCOS.
I have been battling PCOS for 10 years and only 2019 in studying low carb/keo and applying eating basics like meat eggs,sea foods , green leafy vegetables my doctor blown away how I did cleared PCOS after 4 months and up until now I already have a regular period. And that's how I started my channel to reach out women to say .... YES THERE IS STILL HOPE IN PCOS SO DONT GIVE UP, WE CAN MAKE IT. Thanks you so much DOC Ken Berry for the HOPE :-)
I’m 45 and at my last annual my dr refused to listen to my concerns about my diagnosed PCOS...because I am no longer in my child bearing years. He told me LITERALLY that it’s all about calories and to stop eating that bowl of ice cream (which I don’t). Thank you Dr Berry for another helpful informative video 🙌🏻
Time for a new doctor!
I’ve had pcos for about 15 years and No diet ever really worked long term. I’d lose like 0.2-0.4 lbs a week and then start gaining even if I stuck to it. I’ve now been keto since 6/25/19 and have lost 84 lbs. still have a long way to go but keto makes it feasible.

I have insulin resistant PCOS and had fertility problems. Keto and intermittent fasting has helped me so much. I've been "pimping" out your videos, especially the PCOS ones, to my friends with PCOS or other dz processes like diabetes. You're awesome
REVERSE PCOS with this▶ bit.ly/KETO101 Comment if you've already done it!!
Amazing info! My youngest daughter has PCOS and struggles a lot. I shared this to my FB page to help get the word out!
Monica D I had PCOS too and a full beard plus acne as a teenager, it devastated me emotionally. Please do all you can to not have that happen to your daughter. I’m 63 now and on carnivore to reset my system and also avoiding oxalate foods. The SAD is bad and y’all should change diet to keep insulin resistance to a minimum.
Also, vitamin B5 in large amounts should help clear the acne
I am 26 years old and had been on the pill since I was in high school for acne. Last February I decided to come off birth control and see what my body was like naturally/on it's own. Make sure things worked as they should. In a year's time I have developed typical PCOS symptoms including hair growth, hair loss, difficultly losing weight/weight gain, acne, and have only had one period in a year's time. I have had ultrasounds and spoke with my OBGYN and she prescribed me some period-inducing medication (which I declined because it didn't seem like it was going to help the source of the problem). She said I am considered an "abnormal" case of PCOS since I am not overweight or prediabetic (that I know of). It's a daily struggle with self-esteem. Thanks to my mother who is an avid keto/carnivore (and also watches your videos Dr. Berry), I have finally taken her (and your) advice and have started to try and do a lower carb/sugar diet. It is not easy. I have been conditioned since a child to eat a certain way and I am working to try and reverse my understanding of nutrition. I have good days and bad days but I am trying to keep my head up and keep moving forward even though it seems so much easier to just get back in the pill. Dr. Berry, your videos really do give me hope. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Hey! How are you feeling now? I'm also an "abnormal" case of PCOS, I'm not overweight or prediabetic, and I was wondering if keto has helped with your hairloss, since it's one of the things I dislike the most from pcos. I hope you're doing well!
@clau ymt
Since changing my diet to gluten free and low carb/sugar, I have brought my periods back! The days seem to fluctuate but they come every month. I couldn't be happier! It also (to me) confirms that inflammation was likely the cause. I've increased the sugar intake (mainly to test the limits) and although my skin still isn't quite where I'd like it to be (still some break outs) the periods still come. I have gained weight for sure (on pill-100lbs, off pill-113-115lbs) but I seem to have plateaued at about 115 (I'm 5 foot btw). I may have been too skinny for periods too! I'm still tone and fit. Don't be afraid of good fats (but anything in extreme excess is usually never good either). As far as hair loss goes...my hair is definitely thinner. It could be the fluctuations in hormone levels (on pill vs. off pill), it could be my body figuring out how to act normal after years of synthetic hormones, it could be that this is what my hair is naturally like! I don't know. I haven't been able to really draw conclusions yet. And unfortunately, especially with hair, it'll likely take a couple years for me to really notice a difference. I have long hair too so 🤷♀️
Amazing what happens when you cut out processed foods and eat cleanly!! I still enjoy life and food! I certainly don't have afternoon crashes anymore. And one of the biggest changes I've noticed, I don't get hangry anymore!! Holy moly I use to get hangry haha and insatiably hungry. Turns out that level of hangry may be caused by insulin resistance 🤷♀️
This is all still a work in progress but I am a big advocate for getting real with your diet. I use to think that diet didn't have an effect but I am living proof that it does!
@@sarahschwerdfeger269 Thanks for the reply! It really helps. I'm trying to get as much information as possible before starting, but I'll definitely start tomorrow.
I know it'll be tough (I also get really hangry lol) but from what I've heard, it'll be worth it. I'm glad it's working for you!! I wish you the best😊
@@clau6972 Good luck!! It'll be challenging but the pay off is worth it. Keep moving forward even if you slip up a few times!
Jist keep in mind ketosis os easier to maintain than low carb, as the ketones keep you fuelled better amd positively effect the brain. Keep it up! 👍🙏🤗
I have PCOS .After I had my son at 25 I bounced back to 140 pretty quick, I had my daughter at 36 and blew up like the stay puffed marshmallow from ghost busters. 6 years and still can't take the weight off but keep going. I'm at 237. I have been doing keto with intermittent fasting for 5 days. I was at 240 so I have lost 3lbs pretty quick. I'm so sick of being fat tired. I'm not gonna give up.
I would like to suggest that you go full carnivore. Look up the videos with Dr. Chaffee. There’s a lot of them out there. Carnivore was a game changer for me. Much easier than keto and I see better results with it.
Don’t give up !!!! God bless u
keep going 😊 good luck
I was diagnosed with pcos when I was 20 im now 48. I gained weight rapidly I used to weight 135lbs and within a year i went up to 297lbs. Ive tried everything to reverse my symptoms of course all I hear is lose weight. Well ive tried over the years a lot. I never could lose weight. Ive agined a lot more though. I started keto Jan 6, 2020 I admitt I was getting down cause I still wasnt losing anything. Id go up and down the 5 lbs of water weight I lost when I started. Its jyst been the last couple weeks I started losing slowly. I started at 370 and im down to 356. I want rapid results cause I hate being heavy im so miserable but seeing the scale start to move gives me hope.
You can try eating carnivore for a couple of weeks and see if that makes it go a bit faster. It's an stricter kind of keto.
You CAN do this! Be strict with yourself. Food is a FUEL for our bodies, that is all it is. It's not a "reward", a stress relief, it's only fuel. Put high grade pure fuel in!! You can do this!!

Hi Dr. Berry, thank you very much. You are the best doctor in the world. You are a blessing to lots of women like me who are suffering from PCOS.
Thanks for posting this information
Thank you very much Dr. Berry, take care and GBU🙏🏼💕
Shared @ fit and wellness -Thanks Doc💥
I've been keto for over a year! I have pcos. I've lost 75lbs! My cycle is more regular and I no longer have cyst on my ovaries! I love keto! If I can do anyone can!
What do you eat for lunch and dinner x
@@cherylwaghorne1675, watch Dr. Berry's videos on Keto. He tells you exactly what to eat that will burn fat.
@@cherylwaghorne1675 a fatty meat sometimes with a vegetable with butter and cheese or pork skins. I do tacos, burgers, steaks, air fryer chicken, salmon, meat loaf, egg roll in a bowl, shrimp fried rice with cauliflower rice, chicken alfredo with palmini. Options are endless
@@cherylwaghorne1675 meat with skin to get your target daily , low carb veggies with 1tbsp fat or so or salad with fatty slad dressing. Change your fats you cook with to animal fats or fruit/plant sourced with low omega6 fats (olive, coconut).
How long did it take for your cycle to regulate after starting keto?
Yes i reveresed pcos with keto.
Got my cycle on time and also reduced the cramping.
There is hope I’m 48 yrs old have suffered for years I’ve been doing keto for 4 yrs now I’m down 70 lbs and my symptoms have improved imensly 💕
I started a low carb diet which was working tremendously well. Unfortunately, I started a new job a few weeks into that which threw me off track and I ended up eating a lot of carbs. I was amazed at how awful I felt the next day, my whole body was sore which seemed like a drastic effect of just eating more carbs. I’m back on track and so excited to lose the weight for good and hopefully reverse my PCOS symptoms!
You are one of the fellow doctors who get it! I recommend this exact same diet! Bravo!!!
Yes I want more info on pcos. I lost 55kg over 100lb now and still the fat is meting off I founds out I got pcos last year (2020) but I knew it I hade it as a teen. Finding keto saved my life in many ways.
Personally, close to a year of Keto helped a little bit (lost inches, little bit of weight with lots to lose, reflux gone, joint pain gone - but still had some mystery food reactions causing inflammation and TOM was not as improved as I had hoped for) - Now 29 days into Carnivore and I have had dramatic improvement in TOM and painful ovulation symptoms...hope restored, can’t complain as Keto led me to Carnivore 😊
I think carnivore is the Rolls-Royce of keto! It works wonders for so many things.
Where are you now on your journey?
I was diagnosed with PCOS through ultrasound over 15yrs ago.I have weight gain around my waist.I was put on contraceptive which i believed disrupted my cycle,i was never able to become pregnant My menses stopped at 43 and the doctor said am in menopause ,i have no symptoms of menopause except the menses stopped.I feel happy about this research because at least women can get the help now.I just wish it would have been sooner .Am 45 yrs old now .I still have weight gain around the waist and have recently started keto diet to lose weight .Thankyou Doctor for sharing this information.I have younger friends who has PCOS ,i will certainly share this with them.
I'm so glad someone is finally discussing this natural way of almost reversing PCOS. In a simplified way, since I got PCOS, I noticed my body is too sensitive to carbs and sugar. I noticed this when I went on my low-carb and intermittent fasting (IF) diet. I did IF about three days of the week and throughout the three months, I ate low carbs and tried to get my nutrients from unprocessed food as much as possible. Bc I wasn't able to get enough daily intake of protein, I was also supplementing with protein shakes. I was also working out on my days off, which were about three days a week. Within three months I've lost about 20lbs (so similar to the study that I got goosebumps). I wasn't able to get blood work done after the process. I've tried to speak with my GYN about studies like this that discuss eating healthy and working out as I did not want to be on medications for a long time, but I was brushed off and told being on BCP would ensure better pregnancy results. So I went the medical route just to really ensure a higher pregnancy rate. I've been on BCP for almost a year now, but bc of them, I've gained all the weight back and then some. Thanks to seeing this video, I'm going to get off of them again and revert to my low carb habits bc that seemed to have really worked for me. But I'll definitely do some blood work and soon and see how that equates to my lab results. Bc BCP really just made my health spiral downwards as opposed to eating low carb... It helped with some symptoms, but losing weight with low carb was far more affective and I was both physically and emotionally at my best. I can't say the same for the BCP.
Am so grateful to you DR RORPOPOR HERBAL on RUclips, for curing my PCOS sickness within 14days, with your natural supplement ...........❣️❣️❣️
Thanks Doc!
I was diagnosed infertile at 19, told I was never gonna have kids, never had a regular period, pretty much checked off all the symptoms of pcos BUT last 2 month's we celebrated my daughters first birthday conceived naturally with herbs remedies
what did you do? and CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
Pls what herbs did u use,help a friend pls
Dr Berry and Neisha you are huge blessings to this world and have changed so many peoples ❤
Wow this is amazing. I have PCOS and unfortunately my daughter got it from me. Were going to try this... I will update you later. Thank God there is hope. Thank you for sharing this 🙂
Diagnosed with pcos when I was 18, 54 now. Keto saved me! I'm actually about 95% carnivore now. I also take omega 3 supplements because I read the study that shows it reduces testosterone levels in women with pcos. My testosterone levels are still too high but I feel much better on a low carb diet.
Did you ever have lots hair falling???:help and ideas
@@joanneclark8256 Yes! I now take Saw palmetto supplemt to further help lower my testosterone. Google the studies on it for women with PCOS.
Would love to hear What do you know about breast cyst? Thank you for all you helpful advise.
I was 110 lbs when I was diagnosed... losing weight isn't always the answer. Thank you for this.
I have pcos from past 20 years (day 1 of my periods) also I have hirsutism and overall thinning of hair on head. I have been doing Keto and Intermittent fasting for 1 and half years now. I consume Carbs only in the form of green leafy and Crusiferous vegetables.
Keto Benefits >>>>
>>I have lost 9 kgs of weight and my waist has reduced from 35 inches to 33.
>>My cycle length has come down to Facial hirsutism reduced slightly when I switched to organic dairy (not because of Keto).
>>Blood work (thyroid, glucose, lipid profile) was normal before and after keto. HbA1C was 5.9 before keto which came down to 5.2.
>>In addition to this, since I am trying to conceive, I track my periods with all minute details in fertility apps. I would like to say that those minute parameters like CM, temp are more clear now ( which were not that prominent before keto).
Body Weight and dimension related changes show within 2-3 weeks of Keto-ing. "Ovary" related benefits come along later if you keep it consistent.
I would like to say to all PCOS ladies: Don't give up hope. Keep Keto-ing. Don't back out. This is the only survival diet (healthy) for our kind. Tits up!
Just because of the info you give, Dr. Berry and Dr. Berg, thank you!
Did it not cure your alopecia??
@@clau6972 No, it did not. but further thinning is halted that is the major positive thing I have observed. once lost follicles don't regrow that's the thing I am hearing on alopecia related videos. There is additional information I have come across that, inducing autophagy on keto might help me regrow the lost follicles (still not sure).
Tits up LOL
I have been diagnosed with pcos last December. That is actually 4 months after I was married and my husband and I were trying for a child. I was devastated when I got to know that pcos led to infertility and it is also incurable. I am only here today because I'm still determined that I can be cured. I did research and I did found out that the diet is important to help me but I just didn't know what I should eat and what I shouldn't. I was put on diabetic pills by my doctor. As for my weight, I lost a little but I'm not seeing any other improvements. But I'm gonna try your method and see if it works. I'm desperate as I cannot keep this a secret anymore just to save my marriage.
Hey did you concieve by keto diet.. Please reply . It will help.
Have you come across the period book. There is so much information. I hope your doing okay xxx
I'm 26 years old and have been keto (and carnivore on and off) since 2017. I recently started seeing an endocrinologist and getting proper blood work done, and all my results have improved dramatically since changing my way of eating. My right ovary is no longer polycystic which is awesome, my periods are back (used to get only one a year) and cycles are gradually getting shorter. Not to mention weight loss of 35kg and counting, which has improved a lot of things like my feet not getting sore from short walks, dramatically increasing my self confidence etc. I'm now trying to conceive for the first time (being a mum is my biggest dream in life and was the reason I finally "clicked" mentally and managed to do keto - I'd failed on and off to try paleo, gluten free, aip paleo etc in the past but enough was enough and my age was increasing and I don't know how long it'll take me to have a successful pregnancy so I needed to finally fully get my butt into gear with my food!) and i can't wait to have a Keto pregnancy and raise my child on good food and hopefully prevent for them the same food addiction issues I've had all my life. I've seen the power of food in pure facts (bloods etc), it's amazing!
Molly Littleford-Schacht. I'm excited for you and your future family.. Your children will be so lucky..
If you want to you can look into carnivore too as it has seemed to help a lot of people really quick to get rid of fertility problems and getting pregnant.
Did u concieve please reply?
Thank you so much Doc!
I wish I would have known before they forced me to have a complete hysterectomy at 36 and went into surgical menopause and I have been miserable ever since. I finally took myself off the poison Premarin a little over a year ago when I went Keto. I was on Premarin for 18 years and have suffered a lot of side effects that
I was never told about. I am still trying to figure out the best natural side effects loss of hormones that will make you feel normal .
I LOVE progessence plus (young living brand). It’s always worked very well for me as a natural progesterone.
I am now 65, and have had PCOS since I was around 9. It would be difficult to quickly tell you the lifetime of pain it has brought me. It would have helped if my doctors of over the 55 years had even once explained what was happening, but I was left to try and guess what was wrong. Fat, hairy, acne, over the top period problems and pain. At 20 I had wedge resections done on my ovaries, my doctor during the surgery went to my waiting mother to ask if he could do a total hysterectomy. He said I had the ovaries of a 90 year old woman. Thank God, she said no, because I was able at age 35 to conceive my son, now 29, with much infertility help. When I did have a hysterectomy at 45, the doctor decided, with no discussion with me, to leave my poor, old, painful ovaries in me! I am still upset over that, as they hurt to this day. Of course, there was always someone to point out my obvious problems to me, some complete strangers, as I guess they felt I didn’t know and needed them to point out my greatest shames. I felt I was cursed. My father was disgusted with me. I had my mother’s love, but she was also disappointed with my inability to control my weight. I was the only one in my family with these problems. Severe calorie restriction would result in some weight loss, but I was unable to keep it up as I felt I was starving all the time. It actually hurt, I was sooo hungry. Then when I stopped, I got even fatter. I have done this my whole life. Domino over and over. My doctor even now won’t explain what I can do now, he just says the obvious diet and exercise. Well, duh. I’m sure he feels I’m too old to bother with, even though I am still fat (220 pounds, my heaviest ever) with acne and hair issues. I thought after menopause I might be free, but no. One medication that helped with the acne and hair issues was Aldactone, which I took for many years, but it does have some side effects that need to be considered. Well, that’s my short version, thank you for reading this. Also, thank you for your advice, I’ll try to understand your recommendations.
Crusader Cat. I'm sorry you had to go through all that physical and emotional trauma due mostly to the ignorance of the medical profession. It sad that people were and are so judgmental when they see a person not able to manage their weight or acne. I'm so happy you are blessed with a son and now newfound knowledge that may help the next generation.. God bless..
His advice is really good. Eat low carb keto with a lot of fatty meat! Avoid any sugary or sweet foods. Don't eat any kind of grains.
Crusader Cat Hi. Sorry about your misdiagnosis, but it’s never to late to improve your health. You should check out a
RUclips channel called “Pearls of Wisdom and Food with Carnivore.” The content creator is around your age and documented her weight loss with weight watchers, keto, and carnivore. She has a lot of insight with achieving and maintaining weight loss, and improving health for mature ladies.
J Thank you so much for that information. I am listening to Dr. Berry. I have already started to modify my diet, cutting out sugar and grains. I’m still working on cutting out fruit and dairy, but starting to. I am trying to take heart in the idea that even though this is the 4,675,890,331st diet I’ve been on, this one could work. 😊 I love the idea that there are so many people trying to help each other.
Vicky Marinou Thank you. You sound like a beautiful person. God bless you, also.
Dr Ken, any particular diet book that you recommend?? A Mediterranean/Keto diet book? Thank you for addressing this condition, it has been ignored since so long and has hardly any recent research.
arym Hansie, he's not recommending a Mediterranean/Keto diet. He recommends actual Keto or Carnivore. He is relating the results of an Italian study here that shows the benefit of eating a low carb/modified keto diet, but is saying you'll get better results on actual keto. His entire RUclips channel is dedicated to this. Just start watching his videos. No need to buy a book.
I don't understand.. can we have veggies . Like broccoli, chauflower, peppers what about the microbiome??
Dr.Berry, I would love to hear more about PCOS, but for those of us in menopause. 🙏💗
My 2 daughters and I have been diagnosed with PCOS. Our obgyn recommended the South Beach diet which sounds kinda of like the Mediterranean diet. SB diet helped somewhat in weight loss. We'll get together and check this out👍thanks for sharing this information!🤗
Thomas Delauer also has a great beginner meal plan video on keto- Mediterranean.
@@laurieblanchard1171 thanks for the recommendation we'll definitely be checking into it👍🤗
How are things going Janice?
I shared this with my daughter who has PCOS.
Its endometriosis awareness month and I would love to see you do a video talking about how a keto/carnivore diet can help reduce painful inflammation for endo sufferers! Always love your videos. -ketonessparkletoo
Is endometriosis maybe insulin issues???
After watching your videos i have been carnivore for 6 months and i have lost 20kgs without any kind of workout! my skin, hair, pcos and energy levels got better...but i have built up some kinda plaque on my teeth...but u cant imagine that what a miserable life i was living..acne, hirutism, obesity, absent periods...i really thankyou dr berry from the core of my heart! All i wanna say is that i really love you ❤️ may God bless you! You are a true blessing for us! Lots of love from Pakistan 🇵🇰
And yeah i dont take any kind of medicine anymore for pcos! I left my doctor who used to recommend me medicines like snacking...And i dont take any supplements as well
Tartar buildup on teeth is pretty common for keto and carnivore. My dental hygienist is on keto too and mentioned it. Also Vilhjalmur Stefansson, who's often brought up in discussions about the carnivore diet for going a year eating only meat in the 1920s while under medical observation, didn't have any health problems but I did see an account that the only negative effect seemed to be a excess of plaque on his teeth.
gullinvarg then what to do for it?
@@fizakhan2625 I get my teeth cleaned every 3 months because of previous problems with receding gums (probably not necessary for that anymore, but the tartar thing makes it handy). I'm currently experimenting with brushing with salt once a week. You don't want to do it too often because it's abrasive. The trick is finding a good balance where you're taking off the tartar and not the enamel. The good news is tartar doesn't cause cavities and cavities are much less likely on keto. Again this is based on what my hygienist said. Her concern was the bacteria in the tartar and it's effect on oral health.
Did you ever have hairloss shedding lots??? Can you do carivore?? Can you add veggies??
Dr. Berry, how do you have time to upload so much recently?
this is his job now.
I have PCOS, keto for 2 years, .5 cup blueberry , under 50 daily 3x weekly. Lost 140 lbs , no 3 ingredient foods, gotten rid of 4 autoimmune diseases, but still have a beard😢 Also 10 years past menopause!
Try menosmart plus i take 2 a day ...6 yrs into menopause i still have no facial hair
50 blueberries daily?
Do you have p c o s as well as menopause? I have hairloss loss to the touch.. 2 hr insulin fast is 60pmol is that ok?
THANKS FOR THIS :D
Can you do a video on endometriosis please and thank you. God bless 😊
Nancy Frenette yess I have it too.
Yes please!!
Yes!!! Please

I'm still waiting
Thank you doctor for the information
☝️☝️☝️ Truly, natural remedies do work. If they didn't, we wouldn't have used them for thousands of years. And, pharmaceutical companies wouldn't be studying plants, taking extracts of them, and patenting them as drugs. This is not a claim or lies I was cured of PCOS, and my friend was also cured of Chronic UTI by Dr. Egobe herbal medicine in case you are having any health challenges you can contact him and also get a cure too, through him you can get pregnant and have your baby.
Keep in touch with him through his WhatsApp number here ☝️☝️
I have PCOS and KETO did NOT work for me. However, most of the reason was that it simply wasn't sustainable long term for my diet, happiness, lifestyle, and mental health. Instead I saw some research that showed that eating fiber before eating carbs essentially hampers the absorption of carbs, and I looked into research about how gut bacteria gets killed off over a lifetime of bad eating. So rather than keto I started doing additive dieting rather than cutting carbs. I eat those packs of veggies with ranch for breakfast with a protein drinkable yogurt with no sugar, I try to have veggies with every meal and eat all the veggies first, I took probiotics for a couple months until I was pooping normal with the added veggies. And the only exercise I do is walking and light weight training. After about three months of this I passed a huge cyst during my period, and have had regular periods since then, and started dropping weight. I started at around 310 and a year and half later I'm sitting at about 248 and still losing. I feel healthier than I have since high school. I still eat unhealthy sometimes, but the added veggies usually keep me too full to overindulge. So long story short, I don't believe you have to do keto, but you HAVE to address how you process carbs and fix your gut bacteria. And yes, even if I don't eat keto, I often have meals that would be considered keto, simply because lots of stir fried veg and some meat over a little rice is just a perfect delicious meal anyways.
Ok I'm sold. How to get started is now the challenge. I love carbs but I want to get rid of PCOS also.
This video was very helpful, I’m a 24 yo, I started working 2 years back and the stress plus lack of exercise caused gain of weight and ultimately me developing PCOS. It’s been very difficult for me to stick to a regular diet as I am a vegetarian and I’ve been on intermittent fasting diet since March 2020.
Could really use some help with suggestions on how I can get my protein substituted as I don’t eat meat or sea food.
Reversed my symptoms from pescatarian intermittent and low carb diet. I still have red blend wine every night and eat whatever I want for dinner on weekends. I also walk 15 miles per week and make sure I sleep in whenever possible.
I have PCOS that wasn't diagnosed until 7 years ago - I am now 54. Not one doctor I went to over the years suggested anything other than medication. It was my naturopathic doctor who suggested it was PCOS, and my nurse practitioner who diagnosed it.
It blows my mind that it took over 20 years for a medical professional to figure it out. I really hope that it's not too late to turn my health around and reverse any damage to my body.
Good information..Little to late for me.. But great for the future..
I was surprised to learn metformin is used to treat PCOS. I had it in my 20`s.
It can help a little with symptoms, but KETO is the Way.
Dr Berry,
Please do a video on benign fibroid tumors. Thanks!🙂
I thought it’s important to find out the cause ie insulin, coming off pill etc. The Period book is excellent for info.
My wife was told by doctors her pcos was permanent. Without changing her diet at all she started having periods (granted twice a month) so she sees that there is something to all this and she is trying to take keto seriously but she doesn't stick to it often. Everyone enables her and her mental disorders give her little self control.
However she has lost 30 pounds this year. The intermittent fasting has helped her be fat adapted. I'm hoping a month of strict will help with the mental illness's and we might see if the bipolar is a misdiagnosed ptsd and we will try changing meds for that.
I had PCOS since starting my first cycle. At age 16-17 I could no longer take all the symptoms. I was overweight. Had no muscle mass whatsoever. Terrible acne. Terrible gut microbiome. Inconsistent cycles which were unbelievably painful. And my mustache was thicker than those of the boys in my class.
I started doing Keto during spring time and also got into the habit of working out in the early mornings. Mainly either going for a jog in the morning sun first and then some home exercises with my own bodyweight. I dropped weight so easily that summer. Exercising became fun. My symtpoms got about 75% better, I dropped 2 clothings sizes and even my allergies went away.
Would have never made it without the ketogenic diet
Dr. Berry, How does this relate to PKD (Polycystic Kidney Disease?
