I was 325lbs, had rosacea, and always had “sores” that never seemed to heal. I lost 100lbs doing low carb (keto) and both skin conditions cleared up in a matter of weeks of starting the diet. Not to mention, all my carpal tunnel pain, and all my other joint pains went away. Definitely felt awesome, and knew exactly what “cured” me. Well worth the attempt if anyone is considering it.
@@herbladyHCG Thank you 😊 I actually fell off the wagon over the last year or so, but never went crazy on carbs and was able to maintain pretty well. Gained about 20lbs over a year. BUT, during the holidays this year, I went up another 15lbs! So I’ve started keto again, been 4 days, and feeling better already. I love my sugars and sweets, but after a week or 2, I don’t miss it. 😁
@@jkelso1384 I’m glad to hear that. 😁 Seriously one of the best things I ever did. 1st week or 2 is tough. But I was at the point where I couldn’t climb stairs without being winded, and was wearing braces on my elbows & wrists… sometimes all at the same time. Really, everything got better. I’ve had one Carpal tunnel pain “flare up” in 3 years, & it wasn’t even bad. Wish you luck! Don’t hesitate to reach out to me (or anyone) if you have questions!
I whipped out papers before on my doctor, of research I did online, and she just about lost it. She asked me if I thought I was smarter than her, and I asked her what was wrong with doing reaearch? And she said there was so much misinformation online, and SHE went to medical school, not me. So I quit going to her. But there are a lot of doctors who don't like for their patients to do reaearch... Sad.
I had a doctor do that i reversed my diabetes and lost 89 pounds with the keto diet. When i told him that he told me to get off keto asap i was killing myself and he was the doctor he knew best 2 days later i had a new doctor.
Very smart thing to do… You are in charge of your healthcare team, and any doctor who thinks they are smarter than you, because of four years of medical training (training, not education) needs to be reeducated…
It's time we took CONTROL of our own lives. Doctors don't know everything. Training? Not really that much. It's a lot of memorization and 'following the group'. Any thinking patient wants that doctor who will be humble enough to LOOK for the cause and try to heal the patient. What we have now is 'sickcare' not 'healthcare'. Doctors don't want to have to explain themselves, and it's OUR bodies!
I have a masters in chemistry, I don't tell my Dr this on the first meeting not until I hear what is going to prescribe for why I'm there. If I find out he getting big. Kick backs on the drug. I go to another Dr. If it's a statin. Ask questions.
A good doctor would listen and praise you for researching for yourself and be over the moon that you came to them to get more information and to discuss ❤
So... in three months I've lost 60lbs. One word, CARNIVORE! I've been diabetic for 30 years and have all but resolved it. From 200-500 units a day to less than 60. No kidding..... I know I've added YEARS to my life and for the first time in a long time, am looking forward with enthusiasm. Life just got SOOOO good.. !!!!!!!!!!!!
@@teresaberry1421I think being carnivore means to eat every source of animal protein: fish, eggs, read meat, cats, dogs, etc. He most likely used butter and lard to fry
One needs to consider chronic stress as well. Chronic stress is a well-proven, well-known contributing factor to hyperinsulinemia and metabolic syndrome. Chronic stress + poor diet + sedentary lifestyle is a sure way to end up with metabolic syndrome. Correcting the diet and adding activity will help, but might still not be enough if the chronic stress is not addressed too.
Eating less than 150g carbs for sedentary people is shown to raise HPA axis activity. Literally increasing stress hormones that lead to insulin resistance.
It would be great if more doctors recommended therapists who can help with meditation and/ or other stress reduction tools along with the necessary diet and exercise changes. These all go together.
Going on a ketogenic diet in itself lowers stress. I have had things occur this past year that I usually run to my crutch (alcohol) and I didn't because I'm just not affected by stress eating the proper human diet. It passes fast and I feel at peace much easier. ❤
My sister in law has PCOS and always had all these skin things going on. She's been trying to get pregnant for 14 years too. Not long after starting keto her skin has cleared up and she is expecting her first child in December!!! Update: She came a month early. Their sweet girl had her 3rd birthday party today. She is a wild one and such a funny little girl! And truly a blessing!
"Keto babies" is a thing! Dr. Fung recommends that women starting keto - even if in their 40s and 50s - make sure they are using contraception unless they want to get pregnant. Congrats to your SIL on the baby!
was very impressed that there was no sales talk. I kept expecting him to say " send $69.95 for our product that people would gladly pay $359 for". He didnt. No. Just human compassion was behind this speech.
My sugar was so out of control that I swear it was oozing out of my pores. I was so itchy, I would scratch in my sleep and wake up with bloody nails. It was absolutely miserable. Tomorrow marks week 10 of cutting all sugar, and my skin is completely clear.
Hello. Congratulations. I have so many questions. I can't quit Sugar. I have tried, I'm not string willed that way. How did you do it? Where did you start? Was it cold turkey? Thank you so much.
@bellalove3097 If you can't abstain, make an effort to reduce the amount of sugar and sweet you consume at any one instance. Keep reducing, gradually. Lengthen the time between buying sweet things at the grocery store .I reduced sugar in coffee gradually from 1 1/2 teaspoons to 1/4 , then briefly used swerve sugar substitute, then none. Donuts were my temptation. After 18 months, I would buy one about every 5 weeks (and feel guilty). Now after 5 years I don't buy any. It gets easier. Your craving and taste will change. I can't drink coffee with any sweetener- it doesn't taste right anymore. Have faith, your body and brain will change.
@@bellalove3097first try to fast for one or two days. Then reduce or cut the carbs completely. Start introducing meat and fats. At least try to go keto. Your sugar cravings and the need to eat constantly will subside naturally. Some people experience fasting coming naturally after going keto or carnivore. In my case I don't feel the need to eat more than 1 time per day if I am going to work. When I am off I'll eat more. But I don't make an effort to eat one meal a day. Follow the instructions of Dr. K.Berry in the play list right side. Good luck! 🍀
Look, I have not seen a physician in 50 years and I'm not going to do it now. I don't need a test. If there is something wrong, all I have to do is eat right and I've been doing that for 50 years now and I've never had any health issue at all, my energy is high and I'm not overweight. Every day is a fantastic day for me and I don't intend to ruin my life by seeing allopathic physicians. I love talking health with friends who are interested in real health but allopaths turn me off with their bull crap. At 73, I can still do several cartwheels in a row. My friends think that's amazing but it's just part of eating right and exercising. If people would lose their fear of meat, we would all be better off. Pay no attention to Klaus Schwab and his dumb idea about eating bugs instead of meat. Bugs are toxic. Just eat your meat and be healthy.
I was 240lbs. I stopped eating and drinking processed sugar completely and cut my carbs in half. My skin rashes, hives, acne, joint pain and gi bloating and pain, hard heartbeat and diarrhea just improved largely within a week of changing my diet. It's been over a year and I've lost 93lbs and all of my ailments have healed. My body just generally feels great and my bmi is within normal range now. My quality of life is just so much better than I could've imagined.
Bmi is such a deceiving figure. It only considers height and weight. No body composition at all. There's literally no point in it. Secondly I would like to point out that HbA1c is also out dated. If you practice fasting for 24 hrs once a week it will affect this greatly
I have insulin resistance I have psoriasis if I didn't have my kids when I was a teenager I wouldn't have children in my 20's it's part of the reason I'm infertile also i suffer pcos and the 2 go hand in hand with women.
@@marciphillips8682 why wouldn't you be able to have kids in your 20's? Due to the pcos? I too am insulin resistant and have pcos and psoriasis and hashimotos. Oddly enough, I had my first child when I was 30 and my 2nd when I was 40. Do you take metformin? Just wanted to give you some encouragement if you still want to have more children...❤
I kept telling my doctors that I did not want to treat the symptoms, I wanted to find the root cause and fix it! Hubby and I started the keto way of eating and my symptoms went away! They were edema and a severe rash that would break out every couple of months. All my doctors wanted to do was prescribe creams and pills.
Everything you are saying is true. I been fighting cystic acne for 50 years. I am overweight and ate a high carb diet. I been watching your videos about 6 months now. 5 months ago my new doctor said my blood sugar was over 200 and it scared me enough to take on the carnivore diet immediately. I did refuse their diabetic pill and statin they wanted me on but I just knew this would work. And it is. Within just a few weeks my skin began clearing up and I am now down 50 lbs. And my appetite is now under control. My skin is so much better and I am feeling better every day. I wish I knew this as a teen. But at least I have clear skin at 62 better than never.
Sugar is subsidized by the government. If we had to pay the exact $ cost the cheap packaged products would not be so cheap. And it’s costing us our health!
I had all sorts of skin conditions …. Acne, really bad dark patches around my neck and underarms, even on my hands, really bad scalp issues, dry skin, especially on my feet, and once I started keto, everything started clearing up amazingly. Like magic. I also had severe PCOS and after being keto for a few months, my periods came back, after years of not having one. I’ve seen less facial hair, and I have lost over 60 lbs in four months. My energy is through the roof, my knee and back pains are gone. I could not be more thankful for Keto. Thank you Dr. Berry!!! Next up…. Keto baby!!!
Dr Berry . Dec 2019 I found out about you from various sources on you tube. You have taught me so much and now following a rough 6 months I have been encouraged by and supported by a retired nurse who is up your alley. I told God if I meet this person and she talks insulin resistance I will be sorted. 4 days to go from 8 to 14 Sugars down to 6.3 fasting. Numbers never seen before. Today pre breakfast I was 4.9 thank you for all you do. I am from Pirt Elizabeth South Africa and a. So thankful for your channel. May the Lord richly bless you and your family
I'm 33 years old. I had psoriasis since I was about 15. Few months ago I started intermittent fasting and low carb diet. The results were fantastic. My psoriasis practically disappeared and I lost 12kg.
My skin and digestive problems disappeared when on keto. Then I stopped my diet, all of it came back. Just started again on keto about 12 days ago and incredible improvements are already being experienced.
I had really annoying adult acne (I never had acne when I was a teenager, but I also wasn't obese when I was a teenager). A dermatologist even put me on doxycycline for my acne (!) which decimated my gut microbiome and gave me diarrhea, and it only partially helped my acne. But on keto and intermittent fasting, I got to a healthy weight AND my skin cleared up! My skin looks healthier now than it's looked since I was a teen, it's pretty cool. (I just want to add -- for anyone who's vegan or vegetarian -- yes, keto can be vegan or vegetarian too. Carnivore is one way to be keto, but not the only way; so if you want to go keto and you don't want to eat meat, you can. For instance, I substitute cold-pressed coconut oil for butter. So please know, there are lots of ways to eat keto 🥰)
@KenDBerryMD please do a video about CFS. Please tell us what you would do if it were you or your wife with the "mystery" debilitating fatigue likely caused by neuroinflammation/glandular dysfunction. Thank you for the work you do!
I have suffered from Hidradenitis suppurativa since my mid 20s Im 45 now and have never been properly diagnosed till last year. I started taking once a week injections of humara it help some, but wasnt 100% affective. But last October I started Keto and intermittent fasting and had great success in the amount of flare ups caused my this chronic skin disease. I was sure keto was the reason why, so I quit taking tge injections and have still had success. Even my scars from the flare uos have started to fade. So yes Dr Preach..had I only known this 20 years ago.
Yup, rashes, eczema, body-wide fungal infections,, pre diabetes, over weight.. i also had a strange psoriasis-like plaque that I developed .. I was suffering. I went on a candida diet for 8 months later realizing that what I essentially did was a carnivore diet. All gone now 😊
Dear Dr. Berry, One year ago at my annual checkup My A1C was at 6.2, and my doctor wanted to put me on metfomin. I saw my parents struggle with Type 2 diabetes, and I knew there had to be a better way. I found you, and your videos and binged watched many of them. Flash forward one year, following a keto diet I am 38 pounds lighter and my A1C is 5.2. I am now adding intermmittent fasting, and I continue to feel better. I just wanted to thank you for helping me. I hope you continue with your wonderful work. You are helping people everywhere. You are a blessing!
6.2 is a normal reading for someone without any issues. That doctor just wanted to fool you into paying for metformin, so they could then diagnose and treat the side effects from it for an additional charge.
Absolutely! High stress causes high cortisol levels in your body, which, in turn, causes insulin levels to rise. A vicious cycle, but it can be broken. I’m doing EMDR therapy to release a lifetime of chronic stress. I’ve struggled with my weight most of my life, and sadly, came to realize the constant stress in my life caused by a mentally ill family member, sent my cortisols through the roof. With the EMDR therapy, I no longer self sooth with sweets and diet sodas. I’m now able to follow a low carbohydrate diet without the constant cravings for sweets and sodas.
(With very little faith being put in the A1C. If you researched how unreliable it is, you'd be shocked. 27% accurate in the research findings of one group! That's abysmal. Another paper explained that everyone's red blood cells live different lengths of time in the circulation... Search "glycated Erythrocyte survival"
I just realized I have no more skin tags!!! They disappeared sometimes during the last 18 months I was on a keto diet. I just checked and they are gone. They were in the back of my neck where I don't check everyday. I also came down fron 325 to 215 pounds since January 2019.
I had severe insulin resistance in 2022. The best way to get rid of insulin resistance is to start a Low Carb High Fat (LCHF) diet like a ketogenic lifestyle or a carnivore diet, combined with one-meal-a-day intermittent fasting. When you eat once a day, your insulin levels drop like a rock. I started my ketogenic lifestyle and one-meal-a-day intermittent fasting on 6/2022 and still going strong. My TG levels dropped to 66, and my HDL levels skyrocketed to 64, A1C of 4.6 and my fasting insulin level is 3.9. I lost close to 100 lbs--I now weigh 136 lbs. Very energetic. So, I reversed my insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome by going on a ketogenic lifestyle, OMAD IF, and I cut down grains entirely. 0 grains.
My mother has psoriasis, and when she started Keto, her psoriasis expanded further throughout her body. After a few months of investigation and watching Dr. Berry’s videos on the skin topics, plus my moms doctor’s advise (her doctor is great she believes in metabolic health). We started an elimination diet. That meant basically switching to a more carnivore version of the Keto diet. It looks like in my mother’s case she started consuming more of the night shades and spinach, and high oxalate and anti- nutrient foods when she started keto than before she did she started keto. So now that she’s eating mostly fatty meat, supplementing with vitamin D3 11.000 a day plus omega 3 rich diet and supplement. Bone broth and organ meat. He psoriasis is receding. The itching is going away in a matter of 2 weeks.. she’s 68 years old. Thank you for the advise Dr. Berry!
Trouble with a carnivore diet is that it gives you extremely bad breath. I have a beauty salon and many of my clients are cutting out carbs and starch; they didn’t have bad breath before and now you can hardly stand over them due to their breath. It is hard to point it to them.
@@waitwhat6882 Bad breath is not a noted symptom of a carnivore diet. Don't base any judgements on a single RUclips comment. I've viewed thousands of videos in the last year and a half, during my study of nutrition, including almost always scanning the comments section (there IS often valuable insight and video critique there), and don't recall this (bad breath) being ever mentioned as a symptom. Most serious carnivore's report the best health result they've ever experienced. Given such results, it's unlikely they'll ever depart the general carnivore lifestyle. Remember, the supreme issue here, is that it's the extreme carbohydrate diet (SAD) Standard American Diet that is the BIG BIG problem, that must be avoided at all costs, as it ALWAYS directly causes (given a few decades of consumption/abuse) organ damage and failure. It's a difficult habit to kick, given that the high blood sugar volumes are extremely addictive, so it's very much a substance abuse issue. This video is discussing damage to just one of the body's organs - the skin. But note that similar damage in varying degrees, is simultaneously occurring to all organs throughout the body, all directly caused by the long term extreme blood sugar levels and insulin levels. The human body is a wondrously smart and complex design, and it works very very hard trying to keep us alive. It's still almost a miracle that most people last quite a few decades on such a damaging diet as the extreme carbohydrate one, that is heavily promoted and recommended to us by those people making money by selling it on a mass production scale, and by the people they also manage to buy or influence. Hope this helps.
I gave up eating wheat flour and my skin tags went away. When it crept back into my diet small tags reappeared, and when I cut it back out of my diet, and the skin tags disappeared again. So I believe this is all true. I also have rosacea, psoriatic arthritis, and more of what you talk about. I don't need any more tests. Time for me to go Keto!
I started keto in March 2021. I feel much better, more energy, less fatigue. I have gone from size 18 to 14. I keep researching for information. Thank you for your videos. (78 years old)
@ Sharon this is wonderful at your age. Congrats. Please did you have any health issues before you started? I want to try keto diet but I'm bring talked out of it because of my hbp and heart issues. Kindly reply. Thank you.
@@vivianechukwuka5510 I just saw your request for a reply. I was not feeling well: bloating, gas, constipation, poor digestion, inflammation, insulin resistance, 60-80# overweight, poor hair and skin. Anxiety. Dehydration. I am glad I started keto and intermittent fasting. I feel much better. I will continue on keto until I find the right foods to eat. But no or low sugars/carbohydrates. I hope this is helpful to you. Blessings.
This explains why I developed eczema during 6 of my 8 pregnancies. My doctor told me I was allergic to my babies. As soon as they were born, the eczema disappeared within 20 minutes. However, I also had gestational diabetes with 6 of my 8 pregnancies. Now, looking back… that eczema was a sign of the gestational diabetes! Nothing at all to do with “ allergy to my baby” ! Thank you for your very enlightening videos. My youngest is now 22 yrs old and I follow your healthy lifestyle eating guidelines, take no medication and have a superb A1C score. I’m 68 yrs old and weigh 125 pounds. I ‘m so grateful for my excellent health and well-being. 😊
I went to the doctors and found I had an A1C of 11.3. I had new skin tags browning of some skin and I thought it was a yeast infection in my groin that never went away. I started keto and made small steps in lowering my A1C but when I started lifting weights and intermittent fasting, I got below pre diabetes levels in less than a year. I also only dropped 50lbs. I should still lose another hundred pounds but my last test had me 5.3. The one before that was 5.5. One giant meal around 5 everyday. I ate what I could for an hour and then that was it for the next 24 hours. That is when I saw everything change. I have since done random long fasts. It gets easier to go 3 or 4 days without food after being on OMAD for a while. The longest I went without food was 11 days and i can't lie, you do not have a lot of energy during this time but you feel great once you slowly start to eat again. Not saying everybody has to do this, just sharing my experience.
@@angelrebekah9153 I think it’s fair, my body has lead me to become carnivore through reactiveness to fruits & veg. I slowly became keto & then carnivore without intending to. I only realised a few months ago that I had become a carnivore & I feel much better for it. ..
@@angelrebekah9153 you mean many people look to doctors to validate thier lifestyle choices; don’t forget that Doctors must tread so lightly as to not offend people!
I use to have these weird dry, red rashes at fandoms places. Doctors told me I had dermatitis, but couldn’t tell me why. I also had numerous skin tags. I had metabolic syndrome and was over a hundred pounds overweight. I started keto a year and a half ago. I’ve lost 80 pounds on keto, normalized my cholesterol, came off of blood pressure meds, and now have very healthy skin. No rashes and no new skin tags. Thanks Dr. Berry!!
Very much impressed True , exclusive , exceptional ,rare of the rarest video ! Very amazing inspiring, motivating fascinating , empowering , awaring , informative , useful material loaded in a very interesting, amusing , nice and pleasant way !! Thanks 👍 a lot sir ! Lots of gratitude !! 👏👏
Im an MD and only two years of experience, im so grateful that i start the right way to be real medical doctor early. Thanks for all the precious information you gave to me sir. I cant thank you enough
If you really have managed to escape the mainstream indoctrination of most doctors, I implore you to help as many people as you can! There are so so few doctors who really care about healing people holistically - all they care about is flexing their "knowledge" (actually ignorance/arrogance) and the money they make off chronically-ill people. You can make a difference!
Great video. My dad went bald in his 20s. Me and my brother still have our hair. Lately I have been doing a carnivore diet, and before that I did keto to lose a substantial amount of body fat. This encourages me to stay on track. My father now has failing kidneys and is on dialysis due to his terrible diet, which is the same diet I was on since my mom did all the cooking when I lived with them. I use your videos as ammunition when they question my diet. They tell me eating bacon all the time will increase my triglycerides, so I sent my dad your video explaining that high triglycerides is caused by carbs and not fatty meat.
My mom is a wonderful cook of course with carbs. But over the years she has been trying her best to go low carb. I imagine a lot of us were brought up in the same situation. We are grateful to our wonderful mothers who cooked us meals everyday but now that we are on our own it is time for a change. Perhaps we can splurge a little bit when we go and visit dear old mom and dad and have some of those wonderfully prepared meals that may raise our blood sugar level a bit for our short visit.
I had this with multiple skin tags. Started an eating plan of my own. Eating clean...cutting out processed foods...with very little meat. Eating mostly organic. Got off insulin. Skin tags disappeared.
When I discussed with my doctor and my diabetic dietitian they possibility of going on a carnivore diet. They had many reservations. But they listen to me. We discussed it and having a baseline of current health monitored any changes and were pleasantly surprised when my blood sugar a1c went from 8.0 to 5.9. I lost 70 lb and all my blood work came back better than it's been for decades. Seeing no downsides. They support me in continuing this diet, although they still seem to be skeptical. They are very interested in seeing long-term how this plays out. And yes I have had doctors that poop it right out of the door and no discussion my way or the highway type situation. I also have many friends and family that give me that same response. They see me and they think I must be ill because I've lost so much weight.
I had severe Eczema and it got to the point that I started to get it on my face which was so bad. I tried everything from thick creams to topical ointment. Oatmeal creams to very expensive creams. Your video saved me form so much more breakouts and itching. Thank you! I am now strictly keto and my skin has not only cleared up but also my hair grows like crazy now! Thank you so much for this! I can once again wear makeup and I feel so much better. I also lost 20 pounds too. 💐
Thank you DR. I've known for 5 years I've had Insulin Resistance and PCOS...I take birth control and Metformin and have done nothing about it. I didn't think this was anything I could change. Your gentle video has encouraged me to take action. Thank you.
@@bhumikabhardwaj3525 Hello! Since watching this video I went to the weight loss center near my house and saw a dietician. I'm on meal replacements. I go to the gym every weekend with my cousin and make time twice a week to do it on my own. I'm working on being my best version of me
Please be careful with keto diet, studies show that it has a very increased risk of early mortality and heart disease among other side effects. I've had a few people develop those problems around me when on keto diet and some of them even died a few years after starting keto. I don't know why no one talks about the risks and adverse side affects, even when there's enough data to support it. Take care ❤
@@MayaMickaMicak Yes, keto isn’t healthy for everyone, but no diet is healthy for everyone, we're all different -- different genetics, different health history, different exercise abilities, different food preferences -- and what works for one person won't necessarily work for another person. For instance, I don't eat meat, but my diet is still keto, and it's helped me get to a healthy BMI, cleared up my acne, and given me more energy. We each need to be our own health advocate and research what works best for us. There's too much individual variation for any one, single dietary paradigm to work the same way for everyone who tries it.
@@zxyatiywariii8 I agree with you. I also think no diet is perfect for EVERYONE, there's 8 billion people in the world and it would be strange that all of them thrive on the same diet. I'm glad that it's helping you! I heard keto is healthy for children with epilepsy and sometimes for weight loss, but that it should only be practiced short term. The problem is that a lot of influencers and RUclips doctors promote and idolise the keto diet, they say it's going to cure every disease imaginable (which is not possible for any diet or medicine) and when some people experience serious side effects or react poorly and get even worse, instead of recommending something else, they ignore them, they just push more supplements, cutting out more food, and blame the patient for their body's bad reaction and worsening health. They refuse to listen to them without ever thinking that maybe keto is not for them. Sometimes it honestly seems like a cult lol. That's my experience since my father has forced me to be on the diet for years and he wouldn't accept that because of keto I got many serious and even chronic diseases (they have all cleared out when I stopped the diet), and he still to this day has a fridge full of supplements, follows a strict keto diet and he's getting more and more sick because of it, but he refuses to see it because he's been sold this dream and cure to all things that is keto. I left my first comment and this one because I never see any even slightly negative comments on these videos, so I wanted to be there for people who are experiencing side effects and are seeing that maybe this diet isn't for them, but feel like they're the ones who did something wrong since everyone else is saying that it cured everything from cancer to broken bones for them. I hope they will listen to their bodies and do what they know is right for them, no matter what anyone says. I know it's hard to seemingly be the only who is not getting better, not being cured, not having dramatic results, but trying to convince yourself of something that's clearly not happening is going to make everything worse, and if you need to leave- you are allowed to. I hope you take care of yourselves whatever that means for you 💜
Thank you so much for making this video. I started keto on November 29, 2019. Before that, I suffered with stage 3 Hidradenitis Suppurativa for 22 years. I tried everything to get relief. I took Accutane, Humira, Remicade, years and years of different antibiotics and steroids, lotions, creams, bleach baths, laser treatments, paleo diet, and finally went vegan for a few months (the absolute worst months of my life). Nothing worked. My HS got worse. I wasn't able to work. I wasn't able to do hardly anything. Walking was so painful. I've had 3 surgeries which eventually gave me some relief but it would always come back. In January of 2020, I started noticing that I wasn't having any new flares. My fibromyalgia stopped bothering me as well. I started feeling so much better. I have not had any new flares of hidradenitis suppurativa since then. This is the longest remission I've ever had. I can go walking without being in pain. I can raise my arms above my head. The really nice bonus is that I've lost 85 pounds. Keto works! I started watching your videos in January of 2020 and I can honestly say that I have gained so much knowledge from you and Neisha. You have helped me get my life back.
Thanks I’m stage 1 after Covid battle. Was considering bleach baths as an alternative as doctors are recommending humera or Accuntane . I refuse to touch the stuff. Thank you and congratulations!
@@d3lllt The bleach baths do provide some relief but it does dry out your skin so make sure you get some Cerave moisturizer to help counteract the dryness. A lot of dermatologists will push the biologics without thinking of what it's doing to the patient long term. I had a terrible time with intestinal nutritional malabsorption and it's finally starting to improve. My body doesn't absorb the nutrients from my food so I have to double up on supplements. So, any chance I get to tell others to try keto, or better yet, carnivore before trying biologics, I speak up. Good luck to you! I hope you find some relief.
I had the dark skin since I was 3 years old, skin tags at 18, hairloss at 20 over weight since 4 years old. Multiple blood tests blood sugars all ok until 30. No doctor ever mentioned insulin resistance. Then all of a sudden was pre diabeties. If only a doctor had told me early in my preteens I could have turned it all around. Never knew sugar was the issue. Could never loose a significant amount of weight until now in my forties. GP's need to do better.
40s are still young! If you do nothing, the remainder of your life you risk spending in worse and worse quality. The medical care system in most countries only will throw medicine at you, with all the side effects. @Blinkybill, please use this time to get serious about commiting to learning as much as you can, get moral support from others (even online) who want you to succeed in getting healthy, and actually doing it. And don't beat yourself up if you fail, just get up and try again. Please keep us updated!
One of the worst skin conditions I noticed disappeared on the keto diet is very cracked and dry heels. I probably spent hours on them shaving and sanding off the tough cracked skin but I was surprised to see that it has almost disappeared. I’ve also lost a couple of dress sizes and I’ve only been on this diet for about 7 weeks. Generally I feel my overall health is a lot better. Wounds and cuts heal really quick. There’s something about loading up on carbs which causes a lot of bad side effects on the body.
Some signs of insulin resistance include: 👍A waistline over 40 inches in men and 35 inches in women. Blood pressure readings of 130/80 or higher. A fasting glucose level over 100 mg/dL. A fasting triglyceride level over 150 mg/dL. A HDL cholesterol level over under 40 mg/dL in men and 50 mg/dL in women. Skin tags.
My KAISER DOCTORS would not request these lab tests. I took a leap of faith started keto 13 months ago, then merged to ketovore. Within 2 weeks my skin eczema was completely gone. Rosacea has greatly improved. Recommend this lifestyle and save $$$ on medications and creams that just do not work.
holio even though I told her my diet was strict ketovore, lost 70#, all symptoms of Hashimotos were gone, and skin cleared, she still recommended plant based diet and said the reason I felt so good was only because I had lost weight. KP is totally out of touch with nutrition.
@@systemtrend3194 not even then. I had the worst luck with them. Finally my GP just told me to leave. At least she was honest and admitted they lack the skills (or willingness) to diagnoses anything rare
My hubby has around 10 skin tags, itchiness on the back and a big belly. It hurts when he just ignore me whenever i say don’t eat these foods and have your blood level checked ! Thanks so much for this Dr Berry!
I so needed video like this 20-15 years ago. My life would be so different. In all important areas. All those docs and my angry family, didn't have a clue what was going on with me. And I was alone with all of this, feeling and looking like a crapp, and knowing there is something so much wrong and didn't have any help - from docs who should have known better their things and from so called close family, that didn't pass this test of life. I was fragile, inteligent, good young kid.
I feel the same. I am grateful I know now...but boy would my life be different had I started keto or carnivore years ago. I tried all kinds of diets but none worked as successfully and all around better than these two.
Sorry you went through that. What hurt the most was the angry family comment. I hope they didn't feed you a bad diet to keep it going. Keep your chin up and if you follow Dr Berry's advice let us know if things got better.
Sorry but I believe we were all told as kids to constantly stop eating candy or junk food, even if you only heard it from outside your home...... You mean to tell me that because you didn't have access to health videos that you had no idea that there was a correlation between problems going on in your mental and physical body and all the food that you were shoveling into your mouth.??? that's like me saying if someone would have only told me alcohol was bad I would have never ended up an alcoholic.... That was an example but you get my point.
@@thefamily730 I understand the angry family comment. I didn't eat junk food or candies. We were given foods thought to be "healthy" and my family used to make hurtful comments about my weight gain - I was asthmatic and on corticosteroids (prednisone) and nothing i did made much of a difference. I was that skinny kid that then became depressed and frustrated and then later, fat.. My family with well meaning intention always had some sort of criticism. I gained a lot of weight - fat- from the steroids, - catch 22 - don't have them and i wouldn't be having this conversation. It seriously stuffed me up - i, one week was 52kg and then two weeks later from big doses of steroids to keep me alive was 86kgs, and it didn't matter how much sport i played the fat never came off. Ate carbs - because that is what you were told were the "healthy" thing....
I’ve been dealing with Hidradenitis Suppuritiva for 14 years and been obese for most of my life. When I was at my heaviest, I was constantly having flare-ups, and being at stage 3( the highest stage to be at for this disease), had multiple surgeries to help remedy the problem. I started to get relieve when I started keto and lost 89 pounds. Now, I might get flare-ups, here and there (usually from friction due to chaffing) but it is definitely an improvement from before. Didn’t know that insulin resistance was a possible causation but I am not surprised, either.
I also have hs with a constant flare. I started the Mediterranean diet and cutting night shades been thinking about goin keto. Glad u found some relief
I’ve had HS for over 50 years. I went on carnivore this past Jan. I was stage three. I’ve lost so far 34 lbs of fat. My A1C is 5.7. I have completely stopped breaking out with HS. I also have had psoriasis since I was nine. It is slowly clearing up on its own. I know for a fact nightshades are bad for people with HS.
I had hip pain for years. I thought, "Oh, well, I guess I inherited it from my mom." Less than two weeks after starting keto my hip pain was GONE! I have not had one day of pain since I started keto 10 months ago. What a blessing keto has been. THANK YOU DR. BERRY! I share your channel with anybody and everybody who will stand still long enough. Blessings to you and Neisha!💖
I have been on keto 4 years, intermittent fasting for 1.5 years (minimum 18 hours), started extreme calorie deficit 9 months ago. I went from 482 lbs 4 years ago to 214 lbs today. I have greatly increased my exercise and adjusted my calorie deficient accordingly. I also have PCOS. I have hundreds of skin tags. 2/3 of them went away, but hundreds still remain and NEVER go away. I cant lose weight properly anymore. Im so depressed from the whole thing and cry everyday. I am doing everything I can and nothing helps.
Hi there, try eating MORE and add in 36 hour fasts once a week, works wonders. Constant deficit and constantly lowering/adjusting deficits will lower your metabolic setpoint, even in keto. Varying your calorie intake and also varying your fasts stresses your metabolism and keeps giving you the desired results. Trying Carnivore/excluding some things such as nightshades might also help. Plus, if you are a woman you could check out Dr. Mindy Pelz work on female cycle fasting and how adjusting your fasts and diet to your cycle (even if menopausal) can greatly benefit your health. By her work I mean her yt and books, not the super expensive online programs (unless you're pretty wealthy and don't mind ofc, but you get the most important stuff for free or cheap 😊). Also: good job dear, your determination and what you already achieved really honour you, you must be so, so proud of yourself ❤
Thanks again Dr Berry. I had pre diabetes 1 year ago, been doing keto, this morning I noticed only 5 pounds to make My goal, and no more pre diabetes. You're a lifesaver.
I also “use” to have it along with PCOS. Took metformin for 15yrs now none and eat only meat, seafood, fat and water. No fruit, no veggies and my skin is now perfect. I can’t believe I thought gas, bloating and acne was normal! I’ve been carnivore for 3yrs now.
I have to take metformin because right now I can’t afford being full carnivore, I live in Colombia . And I would need to take digestive enzymes. But that’s my goal. How did you take your metformin?
@@mm.2728 You've to take Metformin as prescribed. I used to take Metformin twice daily: one 500mg with breakfast and another at dinner; I don't take it any longer. I now eat salads or veggies with some type of meat or seafood. I also drink 2 litres of water daily and exercise at least 1 hour on my treadmill (rolling hills etc) when I'm not going outdoors.
The doctor had me on blood pressure medication start to lose my hair started getting a numb hand chest pains I threw those pills in the trash guess what I feel great my blood pressure is back to normal and my hair is growing back
Doctors aren't what they're supposed to be there not there to help you their getting paid to make you sick.sick without dying the more money they can make off you before you die there's no Hippocratic Oath anymore doctors aren't what they used to be a lot of them are satanists no joke who do you thinks sets in the bleachers like they're watching a football game at the Bohemian Grove watching them burn a body of a child in effigy allegedly it's probably a real child while they do a ritual called Cremation of care if you don't know what the Bohemian Grove is looking up
@@stefaniekofalt9828 I guarantee they definitely go there every summer but don't count your doctor out those are the type of people that go to those things why do you think the world so f***** up right now and how f***** up doctors are how f***** up it is when you go to the hospital now compared to what it used to be not an accident there was a time when doctors were very helpful very friendly and very caring not anymore good luck finding one you might find one that pretends real good if it wasn't for that they wouldn't have been able to pull off this covid thing there certainly is still good doctors around and those are the ones that are telling you that covids Joke but there's very few
I've been asking myself why I'm losing so much hair these last few years and getting a lot of grey hairs even before I'm 40. My dad have more hair than me even though he's much older. I've been suspecting diabetes or insulin resistance for a while. But never knew it would have an effect on my hair. I'm now considering a keto or carnivore diet.
I cut out all junk food and started drinking only water back on Feb 4th. I dont snack between meals. I allow myself to embrace the hunger because i know that means its working. Today is the 17th of Feb and I have gone from 246.7 to 234.4 lbs. Now that's obviously going to be partially muscle, but it's also fat loss because I can see and feel my stomach getting smaller. Clothes are fitting just a little better. And it's way easier to control my appetite now that sugar isn't over riding my leptin hormones.
I had rashes since early childhood, doctors could never figure it out. I can still remember all the creams and treatments that didn't really help. When I look back at my diet as a kid. Fairly certain I was on carb overload. Started almost every day with cereal and nonfat milk.
Eating oatmeal every morning as a kid gave me dry skin and cholinergic urticaria (heat bumps), basically it's when you need to sweat but because your pores do not have enough lipids and fatty acids to produce sweat they instead become very hot and itchy like chicken pox. Oats absorb fats and cholesterol which is good if you're fat but they're not suitable for growing bodies.
How HORRIBLE that the root cause of these uncomfortable or unsightly conditions is kept a secret from most doctors. I had skin tags and roseacea before keto. My face was so red and blotchy, I never left the house without make-up. Now, I wear mascara only, most days, and I love that my face gets a pink healthy glow when I've been active, but I'm NEVER blotchy now. It's amazing that of all the beauty products I used to put on my face, it's what went through the big hole in my face that mattered most!
Did your skin tags fall off? I have several on my face and many on my body and have to see a skin specialist at decent expense. Can change them from my diet?
@@xxkissmeketutxx I have 3 left, under my arm, where my bra rubs. They were the biggest and have shrunk/shriveled to half their size but are stubborn. The rest (about ... 15 to 20?) just disappeared. I even had fairly big ones on my boobs, which grossed me out. So happy I didn't have to spend money (or pain!) to have them surgically removed. Have you tried keto yet? The first week was the hardest thing I've ever done, and since then it's been very easy. Carb/sugar addiction is real, I discovered. The benefits have been surprising (such as skin tags). OH MY! I just checked, and TWO of my remaining "big" tags have shrunk so much they're now tiny! Far out, I didn't even know. They must be finally on their way out.
There is always a deep cause for skin conditions but doctors fail to point it out. The main culprit is high levels of Insulin. Sir you have elaborated this point so well, I must appreciate your knowledge & teaching skills. A big Thank you.
You’re the best doctor EVER! I’m from Mexico and my mom is a type 2 diabetic, today she scored the lowest A1C (6.1) since she was diagnosed, all because of your diet advice 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 the goal is 5.6. God bless you Dr. Berry 😀🙏🏻
Thank God for that, I know it's hard to eat well in Mexico if you rely on packaged foods. Everything is with added sugar and people love their coca cola. Good luck to you! Here if you are interested: As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Romans:3:10,23 King James Version Everyone is a sinner, one sin is enough to send you to hell, however God loves us and provides a way to Heaven, through Jesus Christ. The Lord Jesus Christ paid the full price for your sin past, present and future. He offers the free gift of eternal life to anyone who puts their trust in him to save them, not in their own good deeds which can NEVER save them. I have a clear gospel presentation on my channel by a trustworthy pastor. Watch it, understand the gospel and believe it. Get saved today, it lasts for eternity. These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. 1 John:5:13 King James Version
@@MaximilianonMars thank you so much Max! I have already watched the video you recommended and as for Mexico you’re completely right, it’s not always that easy to find the healthiest options because the junk food it’s and will always be cheaper, but it’s definitely a choice, I struggled to let my Coca Cola addiction but now I’m past that thankfully 😀 it’s great to find such kind people like you here. God bless you always 🙏😀
@@MaximilianonMars Actually the opposite of what you've stated about food in Mexico... Everytime I go not only do I eat healthier (much more fresher fruits than we'd ever see here in the states)the freshly made juices,lots of walking I always come back at least 12/15 lbs. Lighter.. My cousins & I buy fresh fruits & veggies at a market rarely do we go to a supermarket.. If I'd live in Cuernavaca with them I'd certainly be alot thinner..Granted the have packaged food there as well & my cousin's were shocked to see the huge sizes of "Big Gulps"that are consumed here!! They had no idea what was inside them & when I told them they said no wonder USA has huge amount of very obese people Which is true
I'm 70 and went to Vegan in 2019 ( for the animals, not me), AND my lifelong Psoriasis went away AND, surprisingly to me also, I lost 39 lbs !!! Didn't know about the Health Benefits of it. I've struggled with weight all my life and have had Type 2 D for 25 years and Heart issues. Dec 1 Cardiologist visit, Dr was surprised how good things checked out. Thank God. Wish All the best.
Eating fatty meats excessively will also cause health problems for most people in the long term. Plus it's expensive and worse,it's bad for the environment. Going extreme in anything isn't a "good thing" and this doctor shouldn't be promoting the extreme idea of going full on carnivore as if it were risk free.
dr berry i watched one of your videos on acne about 3 months ago and followed the advice you gave and the acne has almost all gone away thank you for sharing these videos they are life changing
@museack i beleive the way i got it is from the "shredded wheat is good for you" myth i went on a shredded wheat binge for 6 months and the acne just got worse and worse over time until i cut out grains.
I went to my doctor had my labs checked and I did have hyperinsulinemia, I've been on a keto diet since and everything is reversing..I feel great I'm losing weight and I have more energy, no more headaches and I have been sleeping much better!! Guys get yourselves checked and start your recovery life is precious! God Bless you all, God Bless you doc and thank you.
I had cystic acne..UNTIL I was diagnosed-FINALLY- with Celiac disease. Within 2 months of going on the gluten free diet(which I was also off of dairy & rice for months till my gut healed). That was 2010. I only have issues if I get glutened but that's almost never. 2 years ago my biopsies revealed that the Celiac damage had healed completely. I will forever be gluten free & acne free.
When I worked with a chiropractor about 7 years ago, he told that in order to control my psoriasis I had to cut out the sugar!! Of course I didn't take the advice until I started on my Keto journey!! 😳 It has gotten so much better and less itchy! Thanks Dr. Berry
I quit smoking, tore my meniscus and went through menopause and gained 30lbs all in the last 16 months. I noticed I craved sugar where I had always went for salty before, couldn't get full even though I wasn't eating massive carbs I was drinking diet soda all day, My sleep was AWFUL even though I was using sleep aids. Had surgery to repair my knee, found a functional doctor and we zeroed in with bio identical hormones and still couldn't get my weight budge, enter realization that I'm probably resistant so on my last labs I asked for IR test and started a 40 hr fast 3 days later, then an 18/6 and went Omad keto and bam 5lbs broke by the time my labs came back! My doctor said I was on the verge of prediabetic and IM would greatly help and it has, I'm down 11lbs! I have practiced 18/6 daily and try for 36/6 to 40/6 at least once a week. I eat 19g of quality carbs a day and I feel better that I have in 16 months!
Oh, I wish I knew this as a teenager. I've had skin issues my whole life. I was probably insulin resistant as a child. I recently developed Type II diabetes. I knew I could help fix it with Keto. I've been on a Keto diet for the last 4 months. My Hemoglobin A1C went from a 7.2% in June to a 5.7% in September. 5.6% and below is in the "normal" range. My doctor is going to be so surprised. He told me to eat more than 100 carbs a day (which I have not. I typically eat 60 carbs or less) and take the typical diabetes drug. The diabetes drug made me feel like crap, so I did a deal with the doc. I told the doc.... I'll take the diabetes drug on days I eat enough carbs to keep me from having side effects from the drug. Anyway, I didn't cheat much, so I have hardly taken the drug. I'm going to ask the doc if I can be off of it altogether. I have also lost 20 lbs. :) Thank you, Dr. Berry! You've been a literal life saver!
I have pcos and just learning about ketogenic diet. I have hair thinning, overweight, darkened skin on neck, eczema , joint pain and inflammation in knees and feet. Hoping that switching to keto will help alleviate some of these things. So glad to have found your videos.
I call them the five whites. Potato or starchy vegs including beans, rice all colors, bread all colors this is everything made with flour no matter the grain, pasta all colors, and sugar all colors
As a result of gastric bypass surgery, I developed hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia. So, when I would eat high carbs, high sugar, my blood sugar would drop. I have been as low as in the 40's. I started the Keto diet this past Sunday, thanks to the persistence of my sister. I have not had any low sugar episodes since.
I had the dark skin on my neck and under arms. Started around 15, sadly I had parents who accused me of being dirty and not washing myself instead of having a dr look into the cause. Took me till I was in my mid 20s to figure it out. Once I got my weight under control it went away and thankfully has not come back. But tbt trauma from bullying lingers. But I’m glad I know the things to look out for in my now pre teen daughter.
Dr. Berry, you are the first doctor I have ever seen who even knows what Hidradenitis Suppurativa is or acknowledged that it is a real condition. I and two of my three boys have HS and all the doctors do after "I" tell them what it is is put us on antibiotics for long periods of time. Since I found you October 2019 and started my Keto journey my HS is gone and I am 30 pounds lighter and have gone from 150mg of Synthroid meds to 88mg of Synthroid. I found your wife a few months ago and see she is totally off her meds now by going to just fatty meats and I am going to try that route to get off my meds totally as well. Thank you for sharing your talent and passion with the rest of us!!!
I've had HS my entire life. I went to see a doctor when I was in my twenties and she recommended that I use Phisoderm to clean myself oh, because you know obviously it's because I don't wash properly. I hated that bitch. Then once Google was a thing I started looking up what I thought it might be and that was when I first found out that it had a name. I was so excited because I finally knew this is not something that I was doing. So I went to see a dermatologist. When I walked in and told her that I was pretty sure that's what it was and I had it my entire life oh, she was the most pissy person I've ever encountered in my life. She got really snotty and said oh so you have a diagnosis? I was very upset and I left there with a prescription for antibiotics to be taken for the rest of my life according to her. So I just gave up and I live with it.
@@renrick Yes, I have a prescription for antibiotics as well. I only take it when I have a flair up (when I go off Keto a few days) but since I have gone KETO, I rarely have an issue with my HS. Many doctors have no clue what HS is or how to treat it. The worst part is the way some doctors treat you like you are dirty or like it is a lifestyle problem. More people suffer from it than you would know.
Pretty sure I have HS as well - for those not sure what it is, it's the formation of sore boil-like lumps or carbuncles usually in the groin and/or underarm area, also inflamed sore areas that come and go in skin folds that just seem like dry skin - the boils do produce a small amount of pus but not as much as a true Staph boil or infection - usually come in multiples or one after the other and can make life really uncomfortable. The doc kind of skipped over the description, lol., probably because it's just so plain icky. I generally stay on an overall low carbohydrate diet and do intermittent fasting which keeps it under control for the most part, but I find as I get older (65 now) that chocolate (in any form! even chocolate-flavored things like cake or chocolate milk) is a huge culprit. All I have to do is eat a few mini candy bars around Halloween or such and I can practically count the minutes until several lesions will appear. Other high-sugar items don't seem to have the same effect, but if they involve chocolate, look out. Took me a long time to figure this out but finally nailed the primary culprit. Would be interested to hear if this is true for anyone else. And the second major culprit seems to be antibiotics themselves. Found this out after a stint of dental problems over the course of a couple years when I was on and off ATBs frequently. The time frame is longer though - usually one to two months after a heavy antibiotic dosing, the HS syndrome will kick in and last for several months until clearing. Honestly have no idea how that could be related, but it seems to be true for me.
P.s. - Just want to share also that while I'm getting back on track with diet and fasting, applying very warm, damp soaks to the new lesions works for me to prevent them from getting larger and out of control.
A1c test might read higher for those that do daily time-restricted eating or fasting. This lifestyle prolongs the life of the red blood cells, leading to longevity to become more glaciated.
You just need fasting glucose and fasting insulin. If you have these 2 markers, you can check on your own the HOMA-IR Calculator and find it out immediately.
I had a rash condition that appeared like a mild form of psoriasis for years. I pretty much eliminated flour based products, cut beer consumption drastically, and overall adopted a diet that leans more towards keto. My skin condition cleared up rapidly within a week or so.
Before fancy blood tests, x-rays, and highly sophisticated MRIs , doctors would use the plain old naked eye to make diagnoses. While I am certainly not against using the latest and greatest technology, sometimes the old art of simply being an astute observer of morphological problems with the body - whether that is related to the skin, hair or teeth - can be pretty instructive. Its time that this artform is resuscitated in the medical community.
Since Big Pharma has taken over, doctors are no longer taught to look for cures. They are taught that certain sets of symptoms can be controlled by “maintenance” medications, creating lifelong customers. After all, big businesses need to continue making greater profits to keep their stockholders happy and Wall Street employed. Or we can delude ourselves into believing that the Big Pharmaceutical industrial complex is simply the friendly benevolent mom-and-pop drugstore on the corner that sells milk shakes too, that it used to be.
Shan Shan , although I would encourage most to try a low carb lifestyle, underlying diabetes issues would perhaps benefit the most. High cholesterol is not from dietary origin. Because the requirements for insulin will decrease, if not plummet, please advise your/their physician.
Just started the KETO diet. Besides the fact that I just feel better and have no more joint pain, I've noted that my skin tags appear to be drying up. Great presentation Dr. Berry. I appreciate your information. Please keep up the good work!
Started Keto diet and 22hour fasting each day, two weeks ago. I have many skin conditions including skin tags that I hate, was pleased to hear you say that your skin tags improved on keto diet, gives me hope.
I am currently suffering from hidradenitis suppurativia. I have been on antibiotics and creams for nearly 3 years, I've spoken to my dermatologist about the keto diet he told me not to go on it. I've done it anyway 🙂. hopefully this will ease my pain and weight loss will be a bonus.. thank you 🙂
When i went carnivore, my severe cystic back acne cleared up in about my 5th month! It does take time for our bodies to heal from years of high carb/sugar use!
I just went to the lab diagnostic without any doctor and checked my insulin, glucose and it’s higher than normal, changed my diet right away and feeling much better now😍
Interesting you bring this up - I just had to google last night what the little red freckles were on my stomach and my boyfriends stomach too . I was suspecting the same as you say .. insulin resistance.
@@carolinelaronda4523 I consulted Dr. Google on it too. I don't think there is any conclusive evidence about the cause, but I personally do believe it is Insulin Resistence. Everyone says they will not go away on their own. Thre is a laser procedure you can have and some home devices to burn them off 😱. But I am going to wait and see. If no one has linked them to IR then no one has studied whether lowering insulin can make them go away. I will do a study of population size 1. It will be a multiyear study - because I think it will be slow.
I got a few more of these red dots on myself when I started drinking apple cider vinegar in water before meals to help digest. And I was doing keto at the time too. Steady weight loss. No other signs of IR. Blood pressure good, low trigs, high LDL and HDL. Super soft skin. I do have a lot of food sensitivities though...
In 2001 I was shot by an intruder in my home. I was shot close range. I turned and the bullets just missed my heart. I was shot twice. I had several surgeries and because of weight loss my gallbladder had to be removed. Also I have a large bullet fragment in my pancreas. I have type 3c diabetes. As I have gotten older my pancreas has become more damaged. My A1c was ok until five years ago. My pancreas still produces some insulin. I also have chronic pancreatitis. After your video I discovered skin tags and the skin under my arms is darker. I do take insulin and watch my diet. I am not over weight and go through spurts where I lose weight. Thanks for the info.
I had psoriasis on my knuckles for years, skin breaking and bleeding. Went away when I stopped eating gluten. Cheated periodically with bread a few times and the psoriasis came back within a week or so. I knew my stomach didn't like gluten but I didn't know that it also was causing the psoriasis and joint pain.
I've been doing carnivore for the past month and a half (full-bore, I started slow 2 months ago and took 2 weeks to wean off carbs little by little). I've always had a bit of rosacea and thought it was hereditary as my dad has it too. Since starting carnivore, it's cleared up so much that people keep commenting on how nice my skin is. Some even saying I'm 'glowing' and I'm definitely not pregnant. I've compared pictures I took a month ago to today and, sure enough, my skin has gone from the mottled red to a more even-tone where I look like I'm wearing foundation but I'm not. Not going to lie, I still find it a little creepy when people comment on my skin like "woah, calm down there Buffalo Bill." XD
My 40 yo granddaughter had for many years, more and more and more skintags. Two years ago, she got diagnosed with Third stage Cancer of the Lymph Nodes.
I was diagnosed with coeliac disease (coincidentally while being tested for an unrelated problem) - once I straightened things out with the GF diet, many terrible skin rashes I had miraculously disappeared. Before I went GF, I had a *very* *heavy* carb diet. For years I went to dermatologists trying to cure them, and not one made the connection.
Ive been on carnivore diet for 3 weeks and my skin tags shrank to almost nothing and my few skin sores dissapeared. now I am looking forward to my brown skin discoloration on my leg recover. (thanks for having no ads on your videos...I hope you never will push products like others)
Also, Dr Chris Kresser cites a study where small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) was 17x more prevalent in patients with rosacea than in controls.
I was hypoglycemic, 265 lbs, and high blood pressure, and anemia due to irregular menstruation (Possibly PCOS.) I started intermittent fasting (16:8 and 20:4) and a low-carb (not quite Keto) diet that is mostly plant-based and vegetarian. In 4 months I dropped 30 lbs and my blood sugar is gone, chronic pain is nearly non-existent. Foot pain is eliminated. Menstruation is still a little off but not experiencing horrendous cramps like I used to. Blood Pressure is down, but not quite perfect yet, but that's okay! It's been a lot of progress!
I had 3 of these - now things have turned around with IF - intermittent fasting/low to no carb diet/I always exercise. It is all about the food. Thanks Doc. Jay
I was 325lbs, had rosacea, and always had “sores” that never seemed to heal. I lost 100lbs doing low carb (keto) and both skin conditions cleared up in a matter of weeks of starting the diet. Not to mention, all my carpal tunnel pain, and all my other joint pains went away. Definitely felt awesome, and knew exactly what “cured” me. Well worth the attempt if anyone is considering it.
Awesome story, congratulations!
@@herbladyHCG Thank you 😊 I actually fell off the wagon over the last year or so, but never went crazy on carbs and was able to maintain pretty well. Gained about 20lbs over a year. BUT, during the holidays this year, I went up another 15lbs! So I’ve started keto again, been 4 days, and feeling better already. I love my sugars and sweets, but after a week or 2, I don’t miss it. 😁
How about excessively ashy skin that's dry?
@@jkelso1384 I’m glad to hear that. 😁 Seriously one of the best things I ever did. 1st week or 2 is tough. But I was at the point where I couldn’t climb stairs without being winded, and was wearing braces on my elbows & wrists… sometimes all at the same time. Really, everything got better. I’ve had one Carpal tunnel pain “flare up” in 3 years, & it wasn’t even bad. Wish you luck! Don’t hesitate to reach out to me (or anyone) if you have questions!
@Graci T Thank you! 😁
I whipped out papers before on my doctor, of research I did online, and she just about lost it. She asked me if I thought I was smarter than her, and I asked her what was wrong with doing reaearch? And she said there was so much misinformation online, and SHE went to medical school, not me. So I quit going to her. But there are a lot of doctors who don't like for their patients to do reaearch... Sad.
I had a doctor do that i reversed my diabetes and lost 89 pounds with the keto diet. When i told him that he told me to get off keto asap i was killing myself and he was the doctor he knew best 2 days later i had a new doctor.
Very smart thing to do…
You are in charge of your healthcare team, and any doctor who thinks they are smarter than you, because of four years of medical training (training, not education) needs to be reeducated…
It's time we took CONTROL of our own lives. Doctors don't know everything. Training? Not really that much. It's a lot of memorization and 'following the group'. Any thinking patient wants that doctor who will be humble enough to LOOK for the cause and try to heal the patient. What we have now is 'sickcare' not 'healthcare'. Doctors don't want to have to explain themselves, and it's OUR bodies!
I have a masters in chemistry, I don't tell my Dr this on the first meeting not until I hear what is going to prescribe for why I'm there. If I find out he getting big. Kick backs on the drug. I go to another Dr. If it's a statin. Ask questions.
A good doctor would listen and praise you for researching for yourself and be over the moon that you came to them to get more information and to discuss ❤
So... in three months I've lost 60lbs. One word, CARNIVORE! I've been diabetic for 30 years and have all but resolved it. From 200-500 units a day to less than 60. No kidding..... I know I've added YEARS to my life and for the first time in a long time, am looking forward with enthusiasm. Life just got SOOOO good.. !!!!!!!!!!!!
Can you share what you ate? Was it just meat or did you also eat eggs and seafood and butter?
@@teresaberry1421I think being carnivore means to eat every source of animal protein: fish, eggs, read meat, cats, dogs, etc. He most likely used butter and lard to fry
@@kenrobinson8522 amazing !!!
One needs to consider chronic stress as well. Chronic stress is a well-proven, well-known contributing factor to hyperinsulinemia and metabolic syndrome. Chronic stress + poor diet + sedentary lifestyle is a sure way to end up with metabolic syndrome. Correcting the diet and adding activity will help, but might still not be enough if the chronic stress is not addressed too.
So true!
Eating less than 150g carbs for sedentary people is shown to raise HPA axis activity. Literally increasing stress hormones that lead to insulin resistance.
It would be great if more doctors recommended therapists who can help with meditation and/ or other stress reduction tools along with the necessary diet and exercise changes. These all go together.
Going on a ketogenic diet in itself lowers stress. I have had things occur this past year that I usually run to my crutch (alcohol) and I didn't because I'm just not affected by stress eating the proper human diet. It passes fast and I feel at peace much easier. ❤
My sister in law has PCOS and always had all these skin things going on. She's been trying to get pregnant for 14 years too. Not long after starting keto her skin has cleared up and she is expecting her first child in December!!!
Update: She came a month early. Their sweet girl had her 3rd birthday party today. She is a wild one and such a funny little girl! And truly a blessing!
Fantastic news, feed that baby the proper human diet.
"Keto babies" is a thing! Dr. Fung recommends that women starting keto - even if in their 40s and 50s - make sure they are using contraception unless they want to get pregnant. Congrats to your SIL on the baby!

Have seen a similar happy ending for a good friend of mine who had PCOS and after changing her diet got pregnant !
@@zonderbaar That's so awesome and exciting!!

Your correct tho, anyone selling anything is not in it for the right reason. A little more indepth, pottengers human is another great channel!
That’s the great part about these carnivore docs: they’re not trying to sell you anything, just giving you the knowledge for free
right on!
My sugar was so out of control that I swear it was oozing out of my pores. I was so itchy, I would scratch in my sleep and wake up with bloody nails. It was absolutely miserable. Tomorrow marks week 10 of cutting all sugar, and my skin is completely clear.
Hello. Congratulations. I have so many questions. I can't quit Sugar. I have tried, I'm not string willed that way. How did you do it? Where did you start? Was it cold turkey? Thank you so much.
Hey , can you tell me old about it ? What you did ? I left sugar cold turkey but is kind of hard with anxiety
Congratulations
@bellalove3097
If you can't abstain, make an effort to reduce the amount of sugar and sweet you consume at any one instance. Keep reducing, gradually. Lengthen the time between buying sweet things at the grocery store .I reduced sugar in coffee gradually from 1 1/2 teaspoons to 1/4 , then briefly used swerve sugar substitute, then none. Donuts were my temptation. After 18 months, I would buy one about every 5 weeks (and feel guilty). Now after 5 years I don't buy any. It gets easier. Your craving and taste will change. I can't drink coffee with any sweetener- it doesn't taste right anymore. Have faith, your body and brain will change.
@@bellalove3097first try to fast for one or two days. Then reduce or cut the carbs completely. Start introducing meat and fats. At least try to go keto. Your sugar cravings and the need to eat constantly will subside naturally. Some people experience fasting coming naturally after going keto or carnivore. In my case I don't feel the need to eat more than 1 time per day if I am going to work. When I am off I'll eat more. But I don't make an effort to eat one meal a day. Follow the instructions of Dr. K.Berry in the play list right side. Good luck! 🍀
Look, I have not seen a physician in 50 years and I'm not going to do it now. I don't need a test. If there is something wrong, all I have to do is eat right and I've been doing that for 50 years now and I've never had any health issue at all, my energy is high and I'm not overweight. Every day is a fantastic day for me and I don't intend to ruin my life by seeing allopathic physicians. I love talking health with friends who are interested in real health but allopaths turn me off with their bull crap. At 73, I can still do several cartwheels in a row. My friends think that's amazing but it's just part of eating right and exercising. If people would lose their fear of meat, we would all be better off. Pay no attention to Klaus Schwab and his dumb idea about eating bugs instead of meat. Bugs are toxic. Just eat your meat and be healthy.
I was 240lbs. I stopped eating and drinking processed sugar completely and cut my carbs in half. My skin rashes, hives, acne, joint pain and gi bloating and pain, hard heartbeat and diarrhea just improved largely within a week of changing my diet. It's been over a year and I've lost 93lbs and all of my ailments have healed. My body just generally feels great and my bmi is within normal range now. My quality of life is just so much better than I could've imagined.
Bmi is such a deceiving figure. It only considers height and weight. No body composition at all. There's literally no point in it. Secondly I would like to point out that HbA1c is also out dated. If you practice fasting for 24 hrs once a week it will affect this greatly

Treat the disease, not the symptoms. Tired of doctors saying, "I've got a pill for that."
Yes! 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽
People in the UK where I'm from love asking the question "do you have a pill for this?"
They never even think about the internal organs damaged every time one of these pills is taken.
I kept telling my doctors that I did not want to treat the symptoms, I wanted to find the root cause and fix it! Hubby and I started the keto way of eating and my symptoms went away! They were edema and a severe rash that would break out every couple of months. All my doctors wanted to do was prescribe creams and pills.
I wish doctors would tell me I've got a pill for that'...., better than nothing..CFS.
Everything you are saying is true. I been fighting cystic acne for 50 years. I am overweight and ate a high carb diet. I been watching your videos about 6 months now. 5 months ago my new doctor said my blood sugar was over 200 and it scared me enough to take on the carnivore diet immediately. I did refuse their diabetic pill and statin they wanted me on but I just knew this would work. And it is. Within just a few weeks my skin began clearing up and I am now down 50 lbs. And my appetite is now under control. My skin is so much better and I am feeling better every day. I wish I knew this as a teen. But at least I have clear skin at 62 better than never.
When sugar became a commodity all these diseases started to become more and more common 😢
Sugar is subsidized by the government. If we had to pay the exact $ cost the cheap packaged products would not be so cheap. And it’s costing us our health!
read the book SUGAR BLUES
@sploofmonkey It's a lethal killer too, and they know it! The doctors lie about a lot. All for money.
@@vkngwmn6636 that book changed my life back in 1973!
That's for sure. Im 74 and looking back i can realize this in real time.
I had all sorts of skin conditions ….
Acne, really bad dark patches around my neck and underarms, even on my hands, really bad scalp issues, dry skin, especially on my feet, and once I started keto, everything started clearing up amazingly. Like magic.
I also had severe PCOS and after being keto for a few months, my periods came back, after years of not having one. I’ve seen less facial hair, and I have lost over 60 lbs in four months. My energy is through the roof, my knee and back pains are gone. I could not be more thankful for Keto. Thank you Dr. Berry!!!
Next up…. Keto baby!!!
That’s insane!
Thank you for sharing. This is so encouraging.
Keto is veggies and meat right?
What is your diet like? What specific meats do you eat? I need what you have.
Hi!
How much has keto helped you with hirsutism?
Dr Berry . Dec 2019 I found out about you from various sources on you tube. You have taught me so much and now following a rough 6 months I have been encouraged by and supported by a retired nurse who is up your alley. I told God if I meet this person and she talks insulin resistance I will be sorted. 4 days to go from 8 to 14 Sugars down to 6.3 fasting. Numbers never seen before. Today pre breakfast I was 4.9 thank you for all you do. I am from Pirt Elizabeth South Africa and a. So thankful for your channel. May the Lord richly bless you and your family
I'm 33 years old. I had psoriasis since I was about 15. Few months ago I started intermittent fasting and low carb diet. The results were fantastic. My psoriasis practically disappeared and I lost 12kg.
❤️
My skin and digestive problems disappeared when on keto. Then I stopped my diet, all of it came back. Just started again on keto about 12 days ago and incredible improvements are already being experienced.
@NotedJoah BOT spam. Reported.
I had really annoying adult acne (I never had acne when I was a teenager, but I also wasn't obese when I was a teenager). A dermatologist even put me on doxycycline for my acne (!) which decimated my gut microbiome and gave me diarrhea, and it only partially helped my acne.
But on keto and intermittent fasting, I got to a healthy weight AND my skin cleared up! My skin looks healthier now than it's looked since I was a teen, it's pretty cool.
(I just want to add -- for anyone who's vegan or vegetarian -- yes, keto can be vegan or vegetarian too. Carnivore is one way to be keto, but not the only way; so if you want to go keto and you don't want to eat meat, you can. For instance, I substitute cold-pressed coconut oil for butter. So please know, there are lots of ways to eat keto 🥰)

Dear Dr. Berry, One year ago at my annual checkup My A1C was at 6.2, and my doctor wanted to put me on metfomin. I saw my parents struggle with Type 2 diabetes, and I knew there had to be a better way. I found you, and your videos and binged watched many of them. Flash forward one year, following a keto diet I am 38 pounds lighter and my A1C is 5.2. I am now adding intermmittent fasting, and I continue to feel better. I just wanted to thank you for helping me. I hope you continue with your wonderful work. You are helping people everywhere. You are a blessing!
Were u ever put on Metformin ?
Well done, that's awesome!
J
6.2 is a normal reading for someone without any issues. That doctor just wanted to fool you into paying for metformin, so they could then diagnose and treat the side effects from it for an additional charge.
I did Metformin for a blip of time, made me feel so sick. You did it the better way than meds.
High chronic stress is another important factor in developing insulin resistance.
Absolutely! High stress causes high cortisol levels in your body, which, in turn, causes insulin levels to rise. A vicious cycle, but it can be broken. I’m doing EMDR therapy to release a lifetime of chronic stress. I’ve struggled with my weight most of my life, and sadly, came to realize the constant stress in my life caused by a mentally ill family member, sent my cortisols through the roof. With the EMDR therapy, I no longer self sooth with sweets and diet sodas. I’m now able to follow a low carbohydrate diet without the constant cravings for sweets and sodas.

I just realized I have no more skin tags!!! They disappeared sometimes during the last 18 months I was on a keto diet. I just checked and they are gone. They were in the back of my neck where I don't check everyday. I also came down fron 325 to 215 pounds since January 2019.
Congrats!
Man, I got a ton of them, I hope that it will work for me too.
Best advice to get started it’s very overwhelming so many Keto videos
@@dannythemedic - they said “pounds”...
Low carb diet. Not keto
I had severe insulin resistance in 2022. The best way to get rid of insulin resistance is to start a Low Carb High Fat (LCHF) diet like a ketogenic lifestyle or a carnivore diet, combined with one-meal-a-day intermittent fasting. When you eat once a day, your insulin levels drop like a rock.
I started my ketogenic lifestyle and one-meal-a-day intermittent fasting on 6/2022 and still going strong. My TG levels dropped to 66, and my HDL levels skyrocketed to 64, A1C of 4.6 and my fasting insulin level is 3.9. I lost close to 100 lbs--I now weigh 136 lbs. Very energetic.
So, I reversed my insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome by going on a ketogenic lifestyle, OMAD IF, and I cut down grains entirely. 0 grains.
My mother has psoriasis, and when she started Keto, her psoriasis expanded further throughout her body. After a few months of investigation and watching Dr. Berry’s videos on the skin topics, plus my moms doctor’s advise (her doctor is great she believes in metabolic health). We started an elimination diet. That meant basically switching to a more carnivore version of the Keto diet. It looks like in my mother’s case she started consuming more of the night shades and spinach, and high oxalate and anti- nutrient foods when she started keto than before she did she started keto. So now that she’s eating mostly fatty meat, supplementing with vitamin D3 11.000 a day plus omega 3 rich diet and supplement. Bone broth and organ meat. He psoriasis is receding. The itching is going away in a matter of 2 weeks.. she’s 68 years old. Thank you for the advise Dr. Berry!
nathali2023 I have also had to eliminate nightshades. I avoid citrus, alcohol, and most acidic fruits.
Trouble with a carnivore diet is that it gives you extremely bad breath. I have a beauty salon and many of my clients are cutting out carbs and starch; they didn’t have bad breath before and now you can hardly stand over them due to their breath. It is hard to point it to them.
How on god’s name do you stick with a diet like that????
@@waitwhat6882 Bad breath is not a noted symptom of a carnivore diet. Don't base any judgements on a single RUclips comment. I've viewed thousands of videos in the last year and a half, during my study of nutrition, including almost always scanning the comments section (there IS often valuable insight and video critique there), and don't recall this (bad breath) being ever mentioned as a symptom. Most serious carnivore's report the best health result they've ever experienced.
Given such results, it's unlikely they'll ever depart the general carnivore lifestyle. Remember, the supreme issue here, is that it's the extreme carbohydrate diet (SAD) Standard American Diet that is the BIG BIG problem, that must be avoided at all costs, as it ALWAYS directly causes (given a few decades of consumption/abuse) organ damage and failure. It's a difficult habit to kick, given that the high blood sugar volumes are extremely addictive, so it's very much a substance abuse issue.
This video is discussing damage to just one of the body's organs - the skin. But note that similar damage in varying degrees, is simultaneously occurring to all organs throughout the body, all directly caused by the long term extreme blood sugar levels and insulin levels.
The human body is a wondrously smart and complex design, and it works very very hard trying to keep us alive. It's still almost a miracle that most people last quite a few decades on such a damaging diet as the extreme carbohydrate one, that is heavily promoted and recommended to us by those people making money by selling it on a mass production scale, and by the people they also manage to buy or influence.
Hope this helps.
I have been doing low carb for many years, but still suffer from random psoriasis flare ups. Only thing left to try is carnivore diet...
I gave up eating wheat flour and my skin tags went away. When it crept back into my diet small tags reappeared, and when I cut it back out of my diet, and the skin tags disappeared again. So I believe this is all true. I also have rosacea, psoriatic arthritis, and more of what you talk about. I don't need any more tests. Time for me to go Keto!
I started keto in March 2021. I feel much better, more energy, less fatigue. I have gone from size 18 to 14. I keep researching for information. Thank you for your videos. (78 years old)
Awesome Sharon...age 62 and exactly same results . Happy for both of us ❤️👍

This explains why I developed eczema during 6 of my 8 pregnancies. My doctor told me I was allergic to my babies. As soon as they were born, the eczema disappeared within 20 minutes. However, I also had gestational diabetes with 6 of my 8 pregnancies. Now, looking back… that eczema was a sign of the gestational diabetes! Nothing at all to do with “ allergy to my baby” ! Thank you for your very enlightening videos. My youngest is now 22 yrs old and I follow your healthy lifestyle eating guidelines, take no medication and have a superb A1C score. I’m 68 yrs old and weigh 125 pounds. I ‘m so grateful for my excellent health and well-being. 😊
I went to the doctors and found I had an A1C of 11.3. I had new skin tags browning of some skin and I thought it was a yeast infection in my groin that never went away. I started keto and made small steps in lowering my A1C but when I started lifting weights and intermittent fasting, I got below pre diabetes levels in less than a year. I also only dropped 50lbs. I should still lose another hundred pounds but my last test had me 5.3. The one before that was 5.5. One giant meal around 5 everyday. I ate what I could for an hour and then that was it for the next 24 hours. That is when I saw everything change. I have since done random long fasts. It gets easier to go 3 or 4 days without food after being on OMAD for a while. The longest I went without food was 11 days and i can't lie, you do not have a lot of energy during this time but you feel great once you slowly start to eat again. Not saying everybody has to do this, just sharing my experience.
Be careful, Shane Warne just died of a heart attack after a 14 day fluid diet. I would think a few days is ok, but more than 6 or 7 has risks.

Great video. My dad went bald in his 20s. Me and my brother still have our hair. Lately I have been doing a carnivore diet, and before that I did keto to lose a substantial amount of body fat. This encourages me to stay on track. My father now has failing kidneys and is on dialysis due to his terrible diet, which is the same diet I was on since my mom did all the cooking when I lived with them. I use your videos as ammunition when they question my diet.

Perhaps we can splurge a little bit when we go and visit dear old mom and dad and have some of those wonderfully prepared meals that may raise our blood sugar level a bit for our short visit.

Wow! You were even able to get off of insulin?
When I discussed with my doctor and my diabetic dietitian they possibility of going on a carnivore diet. They had many reservations. But they listen to me. We discussed it and having a baseline of current health monitored any changes and were pleasantly surprised when my blood sugar a1c went from 8.0 to 5.9. I lost 70 lb and all my blood work came back better than it's been for decades. Seeing no downsides. They support me in continuing this diet, although they still seem to be skeptical. They are very interested in seeing long-term how this plays out. And yes I have had doctors that poop it right out of the door and no discussion my way or the highway type situation. I also have many friends and family that give me that same response. They see me and they think I must be ill because I've lost so much weight.

Thank you DR. I've known for 5 years I've had Insulin Resistance and PCOS...I take birth control and Metformin and have done nothing about it. I didn't think this was anything I could change. Your gentle video has encouraged me to take action. Thank you.
You can reverse this by reducing weight and improving lifestyle.
@@bhumikabhardwaj3525 Hello! Since watching this video I went to the weight loss center near my house and saw a dietician. I'm on meal replacements. I go to the gym every weekend with my cousin and make time twice a week to do it on my own. I'm working on being my best version of me
Please be careful with keto diet, studies show that it has a very increased risk of early mortality and heart disease among other side effects. I've had a few people develop those problems around me when on keto diet and some of them even died a few years after starting keto. I don't know why no one talks about the risks and adverse side affects, even when there's enough data to support it. Take care ❤
@@MayaMickaMicak Yes, keto isn’t healthy for everyone, but no diet is healthy for everyone, we're all different -- different genetics, different health history, different exercise abilities, different food preferences -- and what works for one person won't necessarily work for another person.
For instance, I don't eat meat, but my diet is still keto, and it's helped me get to a healthy BMI, cleared up my acne, and given me more energy. We each need to be our own health advocate and research what works best for us. There's too much individual variation for any one, single dietary paradigm to work the same way for everyone who tries it.
@@zxyatiywariii8 I agree with you. I also think no diet is perfect for EVERYONE, there's 8 billion people in the world and it would be strange that all of them thrive on the same diet. I'm glad that it's helping you! I heard keto is healthy for children with epilepsy and sometimes for weight loss, but that it should only be practiced short term. The problem is that a lot of influencers and RUclips doctors promote and idolise the keto diet, they say it's going to cure every disease imaginable (which is not possible for any diet or medicine) and when some people experience serious side effects or react poorly and get even worse, instead of recommending something else, they ignore them, they just push more supplements, cutting out more food, and blame the patient for their body's bad reaction and worsening health. They refuse to listen to them without ever thinking that maybe keto is not for them. Sometimes it honestly seems like a cult lol. That's my experience since my father has forced me to be on the diet for years and he wouldn't accept that because of keto I got many serious and even chronic diseases (they have all cleared out when I stopped the diet), and he still to this day has a fridge full of supplements, follows a strict keto diet and he's getting more and more sick because of it, but he refuses to see it because he's been sold this dream and cure to all things that is keto. I left my first comment and this one because I never see any even slightly negative comments on these videos, so I wanted to be there for people who are experiencing side effects and are seeing that maybe this diet isn't for them, but feel like they're the ones who did something wrong since everyone else is saying that it cured everything from cancer to broken bones for them. I hope they will listen to their bodies and do what they know is right for them, no matter what anyone says. I know it's hard to seemingly be the only who is not getting better, not being cured, not having dramatic results, but trying to convince yourself of something that's clearly not happening is going to make everything worse, and if you need to leave- you are allowed to.
I hope you take care of yourselves whatever that means for you 💜
Thank you so much for making this video. I started keto on November 29, 2019. Before that, I suffered with stage 3 Hidradenitis Suppurativa for 22 years. I tried everything to get relief. I took Accutane, Humira, Remicade, years and years of different antibiotics and steroids, lotions, creams, bleach baths, laser treatments, paleo diet, and finally went vegan for a few months (the absolute worst months of my life). Nothing worked. My HS got worse. I wasn't able to work. I wasn't able to do hardly anything. Walking was so painful. I've had 3 surgeries which eventually gave me some relief but it would always come back. In January of 2020, I started noticing that I wasn't having any new flares. My fibromyalgia stopped bothering me as well. I started feeling so much better. I have not had any new flares of hidradenitis suppurativa since then. This is the longest remission I've ever had. I can go walking without being in pain. I can raise my arms above my head. The really nice bonus is that I've lost 85 pounds. Keto works! I started watching your videos in January of 2020 and I can honestly say that I have gained so much knowledge from you and Neisha. You have helped me get my life back.
Thanks I’m stage 1 after Covid battle. Was considering bleach baths as an alternative as doctors are recommending humera or Accuntane . I refuse to touch the stuff. Thank you and congratulations!
@@d3lllt The bleach baths do provide some relief but it does dry out your skin so make sure you get some Cerave moisturizer to help counteract the dryness. A lot of dermatologists will push the biologics without thinking of what it's doing to the patient long term. I had a terrible time with intestinal nutritional malabsorption and it's finally starting to improve. My body doesn't absorb the nutrients from my food so I have to double up on supplements. So, any chance I get to tell others to try keto, or better yet, carnivore before trying biologics, I speak up. Good luck to you! I hope you find some relief.
🖤 I was looking for this type of positive testimonials. THank you for sharing.
Thanks for sharing I’m an HS sufferer too god bless
I had the dark skin since I was 3 years old, skin tags at 18, hairloss at 20 over weight since 4 years old. Multiple blood tests blood sugars all ok until 30. No doctor ever mentioned insulin resistance. Then all of a sudden was pre diabeties. If only a doctor had told me early in my preteens I could have turned it all around. Never knew sugar was the issue. Could never loose a significant amount of weight until now in my forties. GP's need to do better.
It's still not too late.
Dang!!! What kind of do called doctors were you going to????!
@@SlimeArtPaintArt, most doctors are like that.
40s are still young! If you do nothing, the remainder of your life you risk spending in worse and worse quality. The medical care system in most countries only will throw medicine at you, with all the side effects. @Blinkybill, please use this time to get serious about commiting to learning as much as you can, get moral support from others (even online) who want you to succeed in getting healthy, and actually doing it. And don't beat yourself up if you fail, just get up and try again. Please keep us updated!
Parents were feeding u at 4, not MD.
One of the worst skin conditions I noticed disappeared on the keto diet is very cracked and dry heels. I probably spent hours on them shaving and sanding off the tough cracked skin but I was surprised to see that it has almost disappeared. I’ve also lost a couple of dress sizes and I’ve only been on this diet for about 7 weeks. Generally I feel my overall health is a lot better. Wounds and cuts heal really quick. There’s something about loading up on carbs which causes a lot of bad side effects on the body.
Some signs of insulin resistance include:
👍A waistline over 40 inches in men and 35 inches in women.
Blood pressure readings of 130/80 or higher.
A fasting glucose level over 100 mg/dL.
A fasting triglyceride level over 150 mg/dL.
A HDL cholesterol level over under 40 mg/dL in men and 50 mg/dL in women.
Skin tags.
What if some one has every sign of what you said and still he believes he is immune to insulin resistance 🤔😂
@holio yup true...cheating others is some what okay,but cheating self is a complete non okay 😀.
@@chenduprasad How about not chesting anyone? How about honesty? There's a radically useful idea.
Thats me. 41 inches waist. 14 inch biceps, bp 190/100, chlor 40, skin tags, psiriosis on balls and scalp and ass, tendon sores. I beat u
My KAISER DOCTORS would not request these lab tests. I took a leap of faith started keto 13 months ago, then merged to ketovore. Within 2 weeks my skin eczema was completely gone. Rosacea has greatly improved. Recommend this lifestyle and save $$$ on medications and creams that just do not work.
Unfortunately Kaiser won't do any tests unless you're basically dying.
holio even though I told her my diet was strict ketovore, lost 70#, all symptoms of Hashimotos were gone, and skin cleared, she still recommended plant based diet and said the reason I felt so good was only because I had lost weight. KP is totally out of touch with nutrition.
Donna Kuhn what’s a ketovore diet?
Shan Shan mostly meat with less than 10 grams carbohydrate. A keto lifestyle with just a few select vegetables only
@@systemtrend3194 not even then. I had the worst luck with them. Finally my GP just told me to leave. At least she was honest and admitted they lack the skills (or willingness) to diagnoses anything rare
My hubby has around 10 skin tags, itchiness on the back and a big belly. It hurts when he just ignore me whenever i say don’t eat these foods and have your blood level checked !
Thanks so much for this Dr Berry!
I so needed video like this 20-15 years ago. My life would be so different. In all important areas. All those docs and my angry family, didn't have a clue what was going on with me. And I was alone with all of this, feeling and looking like a crapp, and knowing there is something so much wrong and didn't have any help - from docs who should have known better their things and from so called close family, that didn't pass this test of life. I was fragile, inteligent, good young kid.
It's never too late to make a difference.
I feel the same. I am grateful I know now...but boy would my life be different had I started keto or carnivore years ago. I tried all kinds of diets but none worked as successfully and all around better than these two.
Sorry you went through that. What hurt the most was the angry family comment. I hope they didn't feed you a bad diet to keep it going. Keep your chin up and if you follow Dr Berry's advice let us know if things got better.
Sorry but I believe we were all told as kids to constantly stop eating candy or junk food, even if you only heard it from outside your home......
You mean to tell me that because you didn't have access to health videos that you had no idea that there was a correlation between problems going on in your mental and physical body and all the food that you were shoveling into your mouth.??? that's like me saying if someone would have only told me alcohol was bad I would have never ended up an alcoholic....
That was an example but you get my point.
@@thefamily730 I understand the angry family comment. I didn't eat junk food or candies. We were given foods thought to be "healthy" and my family used to make hurtful comments about my weight gain - I was asthmatic and on corticosteroids (prednisone) and nothing i did made much of a difference. I was that skinny kid that then became depressed and frustrated and then later, fat.. My family with well meaning intention always had some sort of criticism. I gained a lot of weight - fat- from the steroids, - catch 22 - don't have them and i wouldn't be having this conversation. It seriously stuffed me up - i, one week was 52kg and then two weeks later from big doses of steroids to keep me alive was 86kgs, and it didn't matter how much sport i played the fat never came off. Ate carbs - because that is what you were told were the "healthy" thing....
I’ve been dealing with Hidradenitis Suppuritiva for 14 years and been obese for most of my life. When I was at my heaviest, I was constantly having flare-ups, and being at stage 3( the highest stage to be at for this disease), had multiple surgeries to help remedy the problem. I started to get relieve when I started keto and lost 89 pounds. Now, I might get flare-ups, here and there (usually from friction due to chaffing) but it is definitely an improvement from before. Didn’t know that insulin resistance was a possible causation but I am not surprised, either.
I also have hs with a constant flare. I started the Mediterranean diet and cutting night shades been thinking about goin keto. Glad u found some relief
I have had HS for 26 years lost 90 pounds didn't help. 😢
I’ve had HS for over 50 years. I went on carnivore this past Jan. I was stage three. I’ve lost so far 34 lbs of fat. My A1C is 5.7. I have completely stopped breaking out with HS. I also have had psoriasis since I was nine. It is slowly clearing up on its own. I know for a fact nightshades are bad for people with HS.
I suffer from seborrheic dermatitis for many years. You just opened my eyes! Thank you!
I had hip pain for years. I thought, "Oh, well, I guess I inherited it from my mom." Less than two weeks after starting keto my hip pain was GONE! I have not had one day of pain since I started keto 10 months ago. What a blessing keto has been. THANK YOU DR. BERRY! I share your channel with anybody and everybody who will stand still long enough. Blessings to you and Neisha!💖
I have been on keto 4 years, intermittent fasting for 1.5 years (minimum 18 hours), started extreme calorie deficit 9 months ago. I went from 482 lbs 4 years ago to 214 lbs today. I have greatly increased my exercise and adjusted my calorie deficient accordingly. I also have PCOS. I have hundreds of skin tags. 2/3 of them went away, but hundreds still remain and NEVER go away. I cant lose weight properly anymore. Im so depressed from the whole thing and cry everyday. I am doing everything I can and nothing helps.
Solution! Go carnivore! It will kickoff your weight loss!
Have patience. You can and will manage.
I am sorry you are having trouble. But look at how much progress you have made. Absolutely incredible.
You are so successful. Keep on with what works for you.
Hi there, try eating MORE and add in 36 hour fasts once a week, works wonders. Constant deficit and constantly lowering/adjusting deficits will lower your metabolic setpoint, even in keto.
Varying your calorie intake and also varying your fasts stresses your metabolism and keeps giving you the desired results.
Trying Carnivore/excluding some things such as nightshades might also help.
Plus, if you are a woman you could check out Dr. Mindy Pelz work on female cycle fasting and how adjusting your fasts and diet to your cycle (even if menopausal) can greatly benefit your health. By her work I mean her yt and books, not the super expensive online programs (unless you're pretty wealthy and don't mind ofc, but you get the most important stuff for free or cheap 😊).
Also: good job dear, your determination and what you already achieved really honour you, you must be so, so proud of yourself ❤
Thanks again Dr Berry. I had pre diabetes 1 year ago, been doing keto, this morning I noticed only 5 pounds to make My goal, and no more pre diabetes. You're a lifesaver.
I also “use” to have it along with PCOS. Took metformin for 15yrs now none and eat only meat, seafood, fat and water. No fruit, no veggies and my skin is now perfect. I can’t believe I thought gas, bloating and acne was normal! I’ve been carnivore for 3yrs now.
Wow. Greetings from Germany
Congrats. Doesn't seem to be talked about much but, NO carbs = NO gas. GottaLoveIt. :)
I have to take metformin because right now I can’t afford being full carnivore, I live in Colombia . And I would need to take digestive enzymes. But that’s my goal. How did you take your metformin?
@@mm.2728
You've to take Metformin as prescribed. I used to take Metformin twice daily: one 500mg with breakfast and another at dinner; I don't take it any longer. I now eat salads or veggies with some type of meat or seafood. I also drink 2 litres of water daily and exercise at least 1 hour on my treadmill (rolling hills etc) when I'm not going outdoors.
@@skinnydee1886 here in Colombia we can take it without prescription. I understand metformin comes from a plant

Doctors aren't what they're supposed to be there not there to help you their getting paid to make you sick.sick without dying the more money they can make off you before you die there's no Hippocratic Oath anymore doctors aren't what they used to be a lot of them are satanists no joke who do you thinks sets in the bleachers like they're watching a football game at the Bohemian Grove watching them burn a body of a child in effigy allegedly it's probably a real child while they do a ritual called Cremation of care if you don't know what the Bohemian Grove is looking up

Congratulations!
Before taking blood pressure medication, I would just take some "full spectrum" CBD oil. It reduces blood pressure, anxiety and inflammation.
I've been asking myself why I'm losing so much hair these last few years and getting a lot of grey hairs even before I'm 40.
My dad have more hair than me even though he's much older. I've been suspecting diabetes or insulin resistance for a while. But never knew it would have an effect on my hair.
I'm now considering a keto or carnivore diet.
I cut out all junk food and started drinking only water back on Feb 4th. I dont snack between meals. I allow myself to embrace the hunger because i know that means its working. Today is the 17th of Feb and I have gone from 246.7 to 234.4 lbs. Now that's obviously going to be partially muscle, but it's also fat loss because I can see and feel my stomach getting smaller. Clothes are fitting just a little better. And it's way easier to control my appetite now that sugar isn't over riding my leptin hormones.
I had rashes since early childhood, doctors could never figure it out. I can still remember all the creams and treatments that didn't really help. When I look back at my diet as a kid. Fairly certain I was on carb overload. Started almost every day with cereal and nonfat milk.
Eating oatmeal every morning as a kid gave me dry skin and cholinergic urticaria (heat bumps), basically it's when you need to sweat but because your pores do not have enough lipids and fatty acids to produce sweat they instead become very hot and itchy like chicken pox. Oats absorb fats and cholesterol which is good if you're fat but they're not suitable for growing bodies.
How HORRIBLE that the root cause of these uncomfortable or unsightly conditions is kept a secret from most doctors. I had skin tags and roseacea before keto. My face was so red and blotchy, I never left the house without make-up. Now, I wear mascara only, most days, and I love that my face gets a pink healthy glow when I've been active, but I'm NEVER blotchy now. It's amazing that of all the beauty products I used to put on my face, it's what went through the big hole in my face that mattered most!
Same!!!
Did your skin tags fall off? I have several on my face and many on my body and have to see a skin specialist at decent expense. Can change them from my diet?
@@xxkissmeketutxx I have 3 left, under my arm, where my bra rubs. They were the biggest and have shrunk/shriveled to half their size but are stubborn. The rest (about ... 15 to 20?) just disappeared. I even had fairly big ones on my boobs, which grossed me out. So happy I didn't have to spend money (or pain!) to have them surgically removed.
Have you tried keto yet? The first week was the hardest thing I've ever done, and since then it's been very easy. Carb/sugar addiction is real, I discovered. The benefits have been surprising (such as skin tags).
OH MY! I just checked, and TWO of my remaining "big" tags have shrunk so much they're now tiny! Far out, I didn't even know. They must be finally on their way out.
@@LilacDaisy2 did you eat just meat (carnivore) or mix with veggie?
Lilac Milkshake May I know what diet you are on?
There is always a deep cause for skin conditions but doctors fail to point it out. The main culprit is high levels of Insulin. Sir you have elaborated this point so well, I must appreciate your knowledge & teaching skills. A big Thank you.

I had cystic acne..UNTIL I was diagnosed-FINALLY- with Celiac disease. Within 2 months of going on the gluten free diet(which I was also off of dairy & rice for months till my gut healed). That was 2010. I only have issues if I get glutened but that's almost never. 2 years ago my biopsies revealed that the Celiac damage had healed completely. I will forever be gluten free & acne free.
When I worked with a chiropractor about 7 years ago, he told that in order to control my psoriasis I had to cut out the sugar!! Of course I didn't take the advice until I started on my Keto journey!! 😳
It has gotten so much better and less itchy! Thanks Dr. Berry
I quit smoking, tore my meniscus and went through menopause and gained 30lbs all in the last 16 months. I noticed I craved sugar where I had always went for salty before, couldn't get full even though I wasn't eating massive carbs I was drinking diet soda all day, My sleep was AWFUL even though I was using sleep aids.
Had surgery to repair my knee, found a functional doctor and we zeroed in with bio identical hormones and still couldn't get my weight budge, enter realization that I'm probably resistant so on my last labs I asked for IR test and started a 40 hr fast 3 days later, then an 18/6 and went Omad keto and bam 5lbs broke by the time my labs came back! My doctor said I was on the verge of prediabetic and IM would greatly help and it has, I'm down 11lbs!
I have practiced 18/6 daily and try for 36/6 to 40/6 at least once a week. I eat 19g of quality carbs a day and I feel better that I have in 16 months!
I am so glad I went Carni. So much has changed and still changing. The insulin resistance is leaving and being carni ...for good...
I had eczema and extreme skin sensitivity my whole adult life. I moved to keto and my skin has never been so calm.
Oh, I wish I knew this as a teenager. I've had skin issues my whole life. I was probably insulin resistant as a child. I recently developed Type II diabetes. I knew I could help fix it with Keto. I've been on a Keto diet for the last 4 months. My Hemoglobin A1C went from a 7.2% in June to a 5.7% in September. 5.6% and below is in the "normal" range. My doctor is going to be so surprised. He told me to eat more than 100 carbs a day (which I have not. I typically eat 60 carbs or less) and take the typical diabetes drug. The diabetes drug made me feel like crap, so I did a deal with the doc. I told the doc.... I'll take the diabetes drug on days I eat enough carbs to keep me from having side effects from the drug. Anyway, I didn't cheat much, so I have hardly taken the drug. I'm going to ask the doc if I can be off of it altogether. I have also lost 20 lbs. :) Thank you, Dr. Berry!

Dr. Berry, you are the first doctor I have ever seen who even knows what Hidradenitis Suppurativa is or acknowledged that it is a real condition. I and two of my three boys have HS and all the doctors do after "I" tell them what it is is put us on antibiotics for long periods of time. Since I found you October 2019 and started my Keto journey my HS is gone and I am 30 pounds lighter and have gone from 150mg of Synthroid meds to 88mg of Synthroid. I found your wife a few months ago and see she is totally off her meds now by going to just fatty meats and I am going to try that route to get off my meds totally as well. Thank you for sharing your talent and passion with the rest of us!!!
I've had HS my entire life. I went to see a doctor when I was in my twenties and she recommended that I use Phisoderm to clean myself oh, because you know obviously it's because I don't wash properly. I hated that bitch. Then once Google was a thing I started looking up what I thought it might be and that was when I first found out that it had a name. I was so excited because I finally knew this is not something that I was doing. So I went to see a dermatologist. When I walked in and told her that I was pretty sure that's what it was and I had it my entire life oh, she was the most pissy person I've ever encountered in my life. She got really snotty and said oh so you have a diagnosis? I was very upset and I left there with a prescription for antibiotics to be taken for the rest of my life according to her. So I just gave up and I live with it.
@@renrick Yes, I have a prescription for antibiotics as well. I only take it when I have a flair up (when I go off Keto a few days) but since I have gone KETO, I rarely have an issue with my HS. Many doctors have no clue what HS is or how to treat it. The worst part is the way some doctors treat you like you are dirty or like it is a lifestyle problem. More people suffer from it than you would know.
I had HS for years and going vegan/keto made it clear up.
Pretty sure I have HS as well - for those not sure what it is, it's the formation of sore boil-like lumps or carbuncles usually in the groin and/or underarm area, also inflamed sore areas that come and go in skin folds that just seem like dry skin - the boils do produce a small amount of pus but not as much as a true Staph boil or infection - usually come in multiples or one after the other and can make life really uncomfortable. The doc kind of skipped over the description, lol., probably because it's just so plain icky.
I generally stay on an overall low carbohydrate diet and do intermittent fasting which keeps it under control for the most part, but I find as I get older (65 now) that chocolate (in any form! even chocolate-flavored things like cake or chocolate milk) is a huge culprit. All I have to do is eat a few mini candy bars around Halloween or such and I can practically count the minutes until several lesions will appear. Other high-sugar items don't seem to have the same effect, but if they involve chocolate, look out. Took me a long time to figure this out but finally nailed the primary culprit. Would be interested to hear if this is true for anyone else.
And the second major culprit seems to be antibiotics themselves. Found this out after a stint of dental problems over the course of a couple years when I was on and off ATBs frequently. The time frame is longer though - usually one to two months after a heavy antibiotic dosing, the HS syndrome will kick in and last for several months until clearing. Honestly have no idea how that could be related, but it seems to be true for me.
P.s. - Just want to share also that while I'm getting back on track with diet and fasting, applying very warm, damp soaks to the new lesions works for me to prevent them from getting larger and out of control.
3 Test to figure out IR
1. HbA1c
2. C-peptide
3. Fasting Insulin
Solution: Keto And Carnivore
A1c test might read higher for those that do daily time-restricted eating or fasting. This lifestyle prolongs the life of the red blood cells, leading to longevity to become more glaciated.
You just need fasting glucose and fasting insulin. If you have these 2 markers, you can check on your own the HOMA-IR Calculator and find it out immediately.
what about type 1 diabetics?
@@5818fa1 True. But, I like seeing the numbers to get a baseline and measure progress.
You could bypass a doctor and order all 3 tests online. Ulta Lab Tests seems to provide the lowest prices.
I had a rash condition that appeared like a mild form of psoriasis for years. I pretty much eliminated flour based products, cut beer consumption drastically, and overall adopted a diet that leans more towards keto. My skin condition cleared up rapidly within a week or so.
Before fancy blood tests, x-rays, and highly sophisticated MRIs , doctors would use the plain old naked eye to make diagnoses. While I am certainly not against using the latest and greatest technology, sometimes the old art of simply being an astute observer of morphological problems with the body - whether that is related to the skin, hair or teeth - can be pretty instructive. Its time that this artform is resuscitated in the medical community.
So true! It's what the rest of us do when we have no health insurance and can't afford a doctor. Christ is the 'Great Physician'!
Sadly, I suspect most healthcare professionals have little knowledge of nutrition. And what they know is often not science based.
Since Big Pharma has taken over, doctors are no longer taught to look for cures. They are taught that certain sets of symptoms can be controlled by “maintenance” medications, creating lifelong customers. After all, big businesses need to continue making greater profits to keep their stockholders happy and Wall Street employed.
Or we can delude ourselves into believing that the Big Pharmaceutical industrial complex is simply the friendly benevolent mom-and-pop drugstore on the corner that sells milk shakes too, that it used to be.
Can someone with high cholesterol and diabetic go on keto diet?
Shan Shan , although I would encourage most to try a low carb lifestyle, underlying diabetes issues would perhaps benefit the most. High cholesterol is not from dietary origin. Because the requirements for insulin will decrease, if not plummet, please advise your/their physician.
Just started the KETO diet. Besides the fact that I just feel better and have no more joint pain, I've noted that my skin tags appear to be drying up. Great presentation Dr. Berry. I appreciate your information. Please keep up the good work!
Started Keto diet and 22hour fasting each day, two weeks ago. I have many skin conditions including skin tags that I hate, was pleased to hear you say that your skin tags improved on keto diet, gives me hope.
I like how you diagnose symptoms holistically.
I am currently suffering from hidradenitis suppurativia.
I have been on antibiotics and creams for nearly 3 years, I've spoken to my dermatologist about the keto diet he told me not to go on it. I've done it anyway 🙂. hopefully this will ease my pain and weight loss will be a bonus.. thank you 🙂
When i went carnivore, my severe cystic back acne cleared up in about my 5th month! It does take time for our bodies to heal from years of high carb/sugar use!
I just went to the lab diagnostic without any doctor and checked my insulin, glucose and it’s higher than normal, changed my diet right away and feeling much better now😍
I believe also cherry angiomas.
I got a million of them around the time I was consuming a lot of sugar and started showing oher signs of IR.
Me too. My Dr. said they come with age.
Interesting you bring this up - I just had to google last night what the little red freckles were on my stomach and my boyfriends stomach too . I was suspecting the same as you say .. insulin resistance.
@@carolinelaronda4523 I consulted Dr. Google on it too. I don't think there is any conclusive evidence about the cause, but I personally do believe it is Insulin Resistence. Everyone says they will not go away on their own. Thre is a laser procedure you can have and some home devices to burn them off 😱. But I am going to wait and see. If no one has linked them to IR then no one has studied whether lowering insulin can make them go away. I will do a study of population size 1. It will be a multiyear study - because I think it will be slow.
@@n.b.0212 age lol. I'm 52 and I've had these on my body since I was in my 20s. Fortunately for me I don't get many of them.
I got a few more of these red dots on myself when I started drinking apple cider vinegar in water before meals to help digest. And I was doing keto at the time too. Steady weight loss. No other signs of IR. Blood pressure good, low trigs, high LDL and HDL. Super soft skin. I do have a lot of food sensitivities though...
Thankfully, some doctors teach and help people.
In 2001 I was shot by an intruder in my home. I was shot close range. I turned and the bullets just missed my heart. I was shot twice. I had several surgeries and because of weight loss my gallbladder had to be removed. Also I have a large bullet fragment in my pancreas. I have type 3c diabetes. As I have gotten older my pancreas has become more damaged. My A1c was ok until five years ago. My pancreas still produces some insulin. I also have chronic pancreatitis. After your video I discovered skin tags and the skin under my arms is darker. I do take insulin and watch my diet. I am not over weight and go through spurts where I lose weight. Thanks for the info.
I had psoriasis on my knuckles for years, skin breaking and bleeding. Went away when I stopped eating gluten. Cheated periodically with bread a few times and the psoriasis came back within a week or so. I knew my stomach didn't like gluten but I didn't know that it also was causing the psoriasis and joint pain.
I've been doing carnivore for the past month and a half (full-bore, I started slow 2 months ago and took 2 weeks to wean off carbs little by little). I've always had a bit of rosacea and thought it was hereditary as my dad has it too. Since starting carnivore, it's cleared up so much that people keep commenting on how nice my skin is. Some even saying I'm 'glowing' and I'm definitely not pregnant. I've compared pictures I took a month ago to today and, sure enough, my skin has gone from the mottled red to a more even-tone where I look like I'm wearing foundation but I'm not. Not going to lie, I still find it a little creepy when people comment on my skin like "woah, calm down there Buffalo Bill." XD
😅😂
My 40 yo granddaughter had for many years, more and more and more skintags. Two years ago, she got diagnosed with Third stage Cancer of the Lymph Nodes.
And you know what’s messed up about it it’s also connected to sugar too.😞
Ever since I stopped grains & potatoes, I have noticed almost all of my skin tags have disappeared
I was diagnosed with coeliac disease (coincidentally while being tested for an unrelated problem) - once I straightened things out with the GF diet, many terrible skin rashes I had miraculously disappeared.
Before I went GF, I had a *very* *heavy* carb diet.
For years I went to dermatologists trying to cure them, and not one made the connection.
Ive been on carnivore diet for 3 weeks and my skin tags shrank to almost nothing and my few skin sores dissapeared.
now I am looking forward to my brown skin discoloration on my leg recover.
(thanks for having no ads on your videos...I hope you never will push products like others)
A lot of these symptoms are also associated with Celiac Disease or Gluten Intolerance as well.
Also, Dr Chris Kresser cites a study where small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) was 17x more prevalent in patients with rosacea than in controls.
I was hypoglycemic, 265 lbs, and high blood pressure, and anemia due to irregular menstruation (Possibly PCOS.) I started intermittent fasting (16:8 and 20:4) and a low-carb (not quite Keto) diet that is mostly plant-based and vegetarian. In 4 months I dropped 30 lbs and my blood sugar is gone, chronic pain is nearly non-existent. Foot pain is eliminated. Menstruation is still a little off but not experiencing horrendous cramps like I used to. Blood Pressure is down, but not quite perfect yet, but that's okay! It's been a lot of progress!
I had 3 of these - now things have turned around with IF - intermittent fasting/low to no carb diet/I always exercise. It is all about the food. Thanks Doc. Jay
