There’s no insurance money off healthy patients. That’s the core of the issue.
In 2019 I was diagnosed with Fatty Liver Disease along with NASH and F3-F4 fibrosis. I had previously been diagnosed with heart failure and had an ejection fraction of 35%. I began cutting carbohydrates from my diet, transitioning to keto within 6 months. Today my liver is healed and with the exercise I was able to do after losing substantial weight on Keto, my ejection fraction is now 60% - normal. I no longer have any clinical signs of heart failure. Today I eat almost entirely animal sourced food and am stronger and healthier than I have been in decades. I am 76 years old and living instead of dying. Keto heals, carbs kill.
Retired just before the pandemic. Later in 2020 a local university cardiologist posted a picture of a plate with a keto meal! My wife and I had virtually no nutrition education at the USF School of Medicine! I read every keto book in the Alachua County library and we both went on a keto diet. Almost 4 years later and both losing 50# we couldn’t be happier! My borderline diabetes is gone, my BP Rx is gone and off a statin after 20 years!
The head of gastro from USF argued with me for 30 minutes that the body processes a slab of steak the same way it does a piece of lettuce... Absolutely useless. I also saw a doctor trained by him who was equally useless
Dr. Bosworth. Dr Ken Berry. Dr Eric Westman. Eric Berg. Sten Ekberg. Dr Cywes. Paul Mason. Nina Teicholtz. Zoe Haircombe. Thank you all. You saved me from a too early death. Fit and thriving. No medications. 30 kg weightloss. Hypertension and glucose issues are history. Respect. Gratitude!
Add Shawn Baker to the list and it matches mine!
What is your VO2max
All of the above and even more online. I have tried learning everything I can about keto/carnivore... have lost 80 pounds, cleared hypertension, high cholesterol, chronic back pain, allergies, asthma, prediabetes, and now off all medications at 63 years old... I have never felt this good in my entire life!!! Thanks to all the influencers who are putting the truth out there!!!
@@kkulhavy1960 You lost weight, that is great, but what is your best marathon time now that you lost the weight?
I may be one of those people who due to genes, family history, I needed both dietary and modern medical intervention. But I was stubborn, and even after my first heart attack when I was 58, because I felt sick from side effects, I refused all western meds unless it was an emergency or very temporary. I have read all of the experts referenced above, and joined workshops, read the books and been on Ketovore for 5-7 years improving my blood tests, losing 30 pounds (plateauing) but not getting a lot better. Some of these wonderful experts have suggested someone like me may need to be less red meat. I am now recovering from cardiac failure and have resigned myself to what seems like alot of pills for the rest of my life, at 72. I read studies, I know how these drugs work, and it goes against my grain and belief system. I cant figure out the best way to work around these meds that seem to be fighting against my bodies natural ability to fight back. And as my heart is only operating at 35%, I am doing as I am told. So far. I have hard time finding people with heart failure who are recovering in spite of these medicines….there is a huge push to be vegetarian, lots carbs, etc…from my cardio team….I am waiting for 3-6 month lapse to stay out of the hospital ….trying to get my heart pumping so I can live….quality of life not good, more drugs coming to help my compromised heart work do its job…..I feel so discouraged, though pleased for you all…I ask myself if its too late for me…..
This story nearly brought me to tears. My son suddenly had his first and only seizure 10 years ago at the age of 24. He bit his tongue so badly it was swollen and supposedly was blocking his airway. So they intubated him. He never survived the staph infection and sepsis from the intubation. This woman is a good doctor.
So sorry 😢 😢😢
Sincerest condolences for your loss.
I'm so sorry for your loss!
How awful and tragic
I’m so sorry for your loss
It should be malpractice for any diabetes doctors who don’t advocate the ketogenic diet with IF too!
there's not enough long-term research to know exactly what the ketogenic diet does to the body over an extended period of time-or why it seems to affect some people differently than others. Advocating it would definitely be a malpractice. Btw the opposite diet works as well. Believe it or not, a fruit -only diet keeps the blood sugar even lower than ketogenic diets in ppl with type 2 diabetes. Also IF and any form of fasting is a natural way to keep ketons in the blood. Naturally it supposed to be due to lack of calories, like during IFing or any other fasting.
I think a doctor should inform you about many things instead of advocating the ketogenic diet
@@bigbang259 Link to the research that supports your claims about the fruit-only diet?
There’s not enough long term studies showing how adversely the majority of medications used to treat diabetes or also epilepsy does to the body over an extended period of time, either! Just Saying! I’ll go a step further and say, there are in fact studies that PROVE, some of those medications are detrimental to some! Hmm, Advocating drugs, without sharing the side effects should be malpractice according to those same standards you stated. Just something to think about.
People should be given options! @bigbang259
@@bigbang259fruit diets keep the blood sugar levels low but greatly increases insulin. Very unhealthy
@@bigbang259how many of your fruitarian vegan buddies must die in their 30's before you give up your cult?
Absolutely! If a doctor knows of anything that could possibly HELP a patient and they don’t share it with them…it is 100% malpractice in my book. It is not up to a doctor to decide that a change in diet would be too hard for their patient. It is up to the patient to make that decision for themselves. This infuriates me!
That's part of the problem. Many doctors either don't know how successful keto has been for a hundred years. They've been taught that it is dangerous.
@@CABedard1 But when confronted with the question of why they didn't recommend a keto diet they didn't say "oh, we didn't know" or "it's too dangerous", they said they didn't recommend it because "it's too hard"! That's malpractice. Consider the pain of donating a kidney, yet that does not stop doctors from taking a kidney from a healthy person. No, I don't buy this at all. Something else is wrong there, something needs to be investigated.
Prof Thomas Seyfried's therapeutic ketosis protocol inspired me to cure my own cancer. I watched my friend die because she persisted in adhering to the ignorance of her cancer doctors. I rejected that same guidance and measured and managed my own ketosis. 😊👍🥳
Can you say what type of cancer?
I'm 75 years old and I just had the first blood test of my life last month. My last physical was my Army physical in 1969 (no blood test). I told the doctor I fast and she said "Why would you do that?". A week later I got a call from the RECEPTIONIST saying your cholesterol and LDL are slightly high (click). That's our current health system.
I went on keto for a terrible under the left rib pain and rapid weight gain. It transformed not only my physical body but my brain!! 🧠 no more stress!!! I also then put everyone in the house on keto, three angry teenagers and a ten year old, all TRANSFORMED THROUGH KETO. Everyone expressing love and happiness and steel like never before! Thank god that boy was saved!! ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Malpractice?
My brother-in-law was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. He invited family members to a session with his oncologist. I had just watched some videos on starving cancer so I asked, at the end of the session, what his ideas on fasting and how it relates to cancer treatment. His answer was "I've heard of it but haven't looked into it." I was dumbfounded! That was the end of the session.
I sometimes feel like it’s a lost cause, Dr. Boz. Most of my loved ones close their ears when I start talking (they call it pontificating) about our lifestyle. I have given up trying after 3 years and just hope and pray that my example of health since starting my journey 3 years ago will impress upon them eventually. The SAD diet, along with smoking killed my husband at age 60. His (my) children quit smoking but persist in the same bad diet. At fairly young ages, they already have aches, pains and complaints. I’m 71 and thriving, on no meds and tons of energy. The food and pharmaceutical industries should be ashamed if not prosecuted.
When they’ve suffered enough to yearn for relief that’s when they’ll seek you out.
My husband had seizures and went keto so I followed for my PCOS our health has never been better Keto 13 years
Thank you so much for posting this story! It reminds me of my own story. For years I personally struggled with epilepsy and no neurologist could help me. The answers they would give me is try this medication or up your medication. I was at the point of being too medicated!! Desperate, I started doing my own research and found the Charlie Foundation online, then changed my diet to a keto diet. I can now say I have been seizure free for a year without medication. Sometimes you have to find the answers on your own because doctors want to over medicate or not listen. I tried to ask, “can I try the ketogenic diet?” and I would always be laughed at or told it would not work. Well, I guess I showed those doctors! I haven’t been back. Felt the best I ever have, dropped over 60lbs., and have so much energy now. This is how I live now. I’m so happy to see this child thriving too!!😊You are an awesome doctor. I love your channel!! Thank you so much for being a true doctor!😊❤God Bless You!!😊❤️
27 years ago, my daughter started to have grande Mal seizures. She was 6. She started taking meds, but, interestingly enough, my husband and I had watched a documentary on a nurse who worked at John Hopkins Hospital and used fat to control epilepsy. We tried it on my daughter. It worked like a charm! Ir was stated in the docu, that thus woman was the last left to treat this way. I wondered whad happen when she left. . Glad it is making a comeback!
I like her ratio of 1g protein for every 2g fat
Perfect
I would do all meat, pastured eggs and maybe pastured, raw, cultured dairy if tolerated (incl hard cheeses)
Pastured meat is great but so hard to afford. I concentrate on eggs & dairy being pastured and eat crappy but fatty meat.
I have a friend with an adopted, epileptic, younger son. He does keto but it’s quite hard. They should just go carni and quit trying to do fun/“tasty” things but the other kids complain as they’re not fighting for their life or at least brain continued functioning.

I have epilepsy and the keto diet helps me, thank you Dr Boz
i went carnivore 4 months ago and eggs watching dr. ken berry cause i was having problems at 65, and now all problems have cleared and i bike or walk 1 hour everyday, life is good !
I started being strict keto 14 months ago out of desperation because I couldn't lose weight. The benefits for me go beyond the weight loss. I started breathing from my nose, which thing I couldn't do for almost 40 years. I used to suffer of allergies, constant rynitis and all it's gone. I also eat in the morning only, doing intermittent fasting 3-21. There is no way back for me. Thank you Dr Boz for fostering the right science, science that is at the service of humans and not at the service of pharmaceutical business.
I gave up gluten about 5 years ago. Prior to that I spent the better part of my 50 years with a stuffy nose and was mostly a mouth breather at night. I am very meat centric, with no soda very little processed food. I started jogging a year and a half ago and am now in better shape than when I was in my 40’s.
I thought we weren't capable of doing our own "research"!
THANK YOU Dr BOZ!! You have saved a LIFE. You have given the evolution of MANKIND and even MEDICINE a HOPE and a new viewpoint. These successes we observe will soon take place. CLEAN HANDS and CLEAN QUARTERS were once considered "WITCHCRAFT" in the medical field.
It is too hard for Hospitals to give up big revenue streams from sick children.
Precisely the issue. There is no money to be made from healthy lifestyle/dietary changes.
This is WAY oversimplifying the situation
For me, it's Meniere's Disease. When I consistently keep my DBR below 30, the tinnitus, dizziness, ear stuffed all decrease and my energy is slowly improving and my weight is coming down. I'm currently at 170 and need to be at 145 according to my cardiologist. My current goal is to obtain a DBR of below 30 for 90 days in a row! I feel hopeful for the first time since 2019, with my first vertigo attack. Thank you, Dr. Boz.
I found Eric Berg first. ❤ I wanted to understand more biology. Then I found Dr Bozworth, Dr. Jason Fung, Dr. Ken Berry, and Judy Cho. I've lost 80 pounds in 2 years. My family and friends eat a little better now. My PCP wants nothing to do with me now, because I refused meds and requested a follow-up in 3 months.
I did keto before 2020 and improved my diabetes. My doctor told me if I didn't want to listen to her and take the meds not to come back. Thanks Dr. For making me healthy
I’d have a hard time not going back and saying, “You told me not to come back if I didn’t listen to you and take the meds. Guess what? I never took the meds and my diabetes is much improved. You need to learn what ACTUALLY helps with diabetes, instead of just throwing pills at the people who come in. And you call yourself a doctor!”
Re: My doctor told me if I didn't want to listen to her and take the meds not to come back. Sounds like the best advice she could have given you. Buh-bye, Doc!
My doctor tried putting me on a statin, on weight loss meds, everything under the sun. She had a 400+lb husband on a bunch of drugs but not losing his weight at the time. I insisted I wanted to try the keto diet because I'd done my research and believed that I was a carb addict with "hyperinsulinemia" and talked her into putting it into my chart that "she" was recommending this protocol to help with my morbid obesity. Cut to a long virtual appointment conversation during the pandemic where we got personal about my progress and that of her husband, more pushing on my part for her to look into ketogenic diet (she still wasn't a believer). Here we are 3 years later and she's not only a believer, but her husband is finally on the diet too and losing weight. They CAN be taught! They just need a few patients who tell it like it is and don't back down!
Thank you for sharing. You’ve helped me! 55 days ago I fasted for a 5 days and then started a Beef, Butter, Bacon and Eggs strict diet for 90 days. My T2 numbers are reversing! My vision was restored! Lost 20” off my body! No loose skin due to Autophgy! Thank you Dr. Boz for you work!!
You are one of my inspirations to retry the ketogenic diet. My mom was the other inspiration to stay on the diet. She passed away in September 2023 from complications of Alzheimer’s. Your teachings on brain health have kept me motivated and successful. I’ve lost 50 lbs and my brain function has improved greatly!
So sorry about the loss of your mother and happy you are doing so well.❤
This story had me in tears. I love the happy ending! Keep up the good work, Dr. Boz. Doctors like you are saving lives.❤️
My husband has epilepsy. His mother was told the same thing when he was a child, a ketogenic diet is too hard. As an adult he’s was told it doesn’t work for adults, only children. He has spent his life taking HANDFULS of meds twice a day. The side effects of the meds are brain fog and tremors and trying to maintain a perfect balance of chemicals. Doctors thought this is better than changing what he ate.
I don’t care how doctors are trained. It is their responsibility to help their patients, and they can search the internet like everyone else. How hard is it to be aware that the ketogenic diet helps with epilepsy? Then, when you know about it, you suggest it to EVERY epileptic patient you have. If the patient does it, it’s up to them, but it’s the DOCTOR’S JOB to suggest it, regardless of whether they judge it as too hard or not.
They don’t think it’s their job to help us be healthy. Then they criticize us for using the internet. They won’t help us and deride us for helping ourselves without them.
They prefer the money they get for prescribing 😡😡😡
I am so happy to hear that they found the Charley Foundation. This little story brought tears to my eyes. Happy Ending. 😃
WOW!!! Two, three, ten thumbs up for this video! Thanks for sharing this. Love you.
I tell everyone I know about this diet in the hopes that it might help even one person in their health journey. I'm 35 pounds down and so, so happy I discovered how to lose weight and keep myself healthy! Keep doing what you're doing Dr. Boz!! Slowly but surely the info will make it's way to those who need it 🙏🙏🙏
I also scoured the internet looking for an answer to weight gain. I tried it and found the crippling gout and asthma also improved. Yes, keto is difficult and boring, but much better than pain, swelling and inflammation! I miss the carbs, but not the pain!
i too had to fight for my younger daughters mind, and ability to ever speak. I took her to the top doctors in Scottsdale, and Phoenix, and then I too had too strike out alone. And again it came down to her diet, which I immediately altered dramatically. Then with speech therapy, being in a special class starting at age 3, she began to speak. I ensured he progress by continuing her new diet, and by actively playing with her for over 7 years. We played blocks, Legos, Weebles, Mickey and Minnie, a two story wooden doll house, a two story Wonder Mall. a masterfully designed full sized playhouse, and 32 Barbie characters, and add ons. She was in the Gifted Third Grade Class in our wealthy enclave, and graduated high school early. You have to fight for your children.
This story is unbelievable. So the hospital thought that losing a child would be easier than changing the family diet? It is so sad and unfortunate that many health and medical professionals still prefer to prescribe drugs and surgical procedures over making simpler changes to diet. Thank you for sharing Dr. Boz. I firmly believe that the ketogenic life has saved me from serious chronic diseases and early death.
Me too!!
The spirit of your mom lives in a lot of us!! Thank you for all that you’re doing ❤!
Amen! Dr Bozworth honors her mother’s memory.
Yes, that is malpractice. It was also malpractice to with hold medical therapy from covid + patients before hospitalization! We need and expect accountability.
How could they inject Midazolam if the patient wasn't in hospital? Also not collect $35,000, was it, for a 'covid death'?
Watching You, Dr, Berry, and Dr Berg got up my interest. Then I bought your wonderful book Anyway You Can! This was the clincher for me, and I have given this book to at least 4 other people. Since March 2023, I have lost 30 pounds, my glucose level and triglycerides are fabulous, blood pressure no longer elevated and is awesome now. (My LDL high density particles are the only thing I'm trying to figure out.) THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR AMAZING BOOK, DR. BOSWORTH!
Brings tears to my eyes.
My thought process is what inspired me to start. I wanted to be able to think again. I want to repair things which have gone wrong. No one offered me a ketogenic way of eating. I was tossed out of community mental health for believing diet could/would work. And should be tried. Hell yes it was malpractice.
Community mental health told me to go to the VA. They wanted me to take my meds and go to groups 5 days a week, 70 miles away from where I lived. I tried to change my diet but never had anyone that explained that it was a food addiction I had that was keeping me from remission.
I’ve chosen a path that is slowly getting me a life I want to live in. To feel well, my brain wants (or seems to want) a 3-1 fat ratio. I want this wellness so much. I don’t just want stability. I want my brain to fully repair and wellness. My why hasn’t changed.i want to be able to think every day for the rest of my life. Every damn day. See you in Austin.
I live in the Netherlands and have brothers in the US. I first heard of the Atkins diet when I visited a brother who told me that his friend had almost lost his job as a school bus driver because he was so fat that he could hardly get through the buses door and sit in the drivers seat. He got the Atkins diet book from his aunt and had over a year to lose all his weight but also normalized his blood pressure.
In 2015 I had high blood pressure and remembered this bus-driver so when my GP said it was time for medication I objected and said I wanted to try the Atkins diet first and see if I could normalize my own blood pressure. I used an all inn vacation at the Red Sea to try out eating mostly meat and some vegetables, and an omelet without bread for breakfast and no lunch and when I came home my blood pressure was normalized (I still measure it every morning and it's fine). I also lost arthritis in my shoulders, knees and hips and sleep a lot better not having to role over to the other side maybe 100 times a night. Also lost about 100 Lbl. and can stay in my home with stairs not having to move to a senior facility.
I did get some skin cancer because I am addicted to a certain candy with Licorice just after my mother died. It was benign but it had to be removed. I had already stopped the licorice and also cured it with some weeks of 7 tablet of 1000 mg 3 times daily, it is just below my threshold of getting diarrhea (at 9 times 1000) and the sore like wound just completely closed. My dermatologist did remover the patch surgically for certainty.
Otherwise I have no medical issues at age 72 and have no medication. I take vitamin D3 (8000 IU) and B12 (1000 mcg) supplements because my mother had B12 injections every 6 weeks to prevent percussive anemia. It helps me not getting dizzy when standing up.
This is what I tune in to you to hear! I love hearing all of this kind of message. How keto is actually changing lives! More videos like this, please!
If you suggest the right diet to a patient then they can't continue to invoice the paitent. That's the math.
This 3 minute video will save a life…
Thank you Dr. Boz my wife and I are profoundly grateful for your work in this area. We do follow other influencers ( and I have done courses with the Noakes Foundation) . Your Mom’s story, while sad, is tremendously inspiring.
I want to ask a doctor that says that anything is too hard as a reason for not making a recommendation, “who told you that”? Then say sounds like an “Old doctor’s tale” to me.
Malpractice? Yes! Keto is not new every Dr should be up to speed know on how it works, benefits, risks and best protocol for each ailment. However by prescribing a chemical the dr feeds big pharma. I thank you Dr. Boz you have explained so much about keto so I can be in a place where I know I will get to my metabolic goals. Keep up the great work!
My husbands blood sugars being in 350, his A1C was 12 when he went for his first checkup in years. We have been on a ketogenic diet since February. His A1C is down to 9.3. Not cured yet, but he is getting better.
70 years young.
No longer Diabetic or meds for Type2...
a1c 4.8....
no more BP meds... dropped 20 lbs.
at desired weight...
Energy up
I had shoulder surgery at a hospital, on admission I was asked if I had a restricted diet to which I answered yes, I require a carnivore diet. In the morning I get a bowl of cereal with toast and jam. I asked them to take it away because I can't eat it and then started with the options, none of which were carnivore to which I said, I don't need breakfast, it's fine and they looked terribly confused.
Same thing happened to my daughter who has been carnivore the same time I was but she was in hospital for a dislodged gall stone stuck in her bike duct. The doctors put her on a zero fat diet. It turns out the carnivore diet was healing her gall bladder by dissolving the gall stones and the high fat carnivore diet was causing the flushing of the gall bladder which now I can say is free of stones but one because she kept on having fat on her carnivore diet. Now some doctors are confused when they read her file. They think that clearing a gall bladder of stones is impossible.
That's funny. I just opened a couple cans of sardines for dinner and sat down a minute while scrolling this video. I'm diabetic and watch your videos for information. Biking 200 miles a week and 5 hours at the gym over the last 20+ years has not helped. It's taking a while, but following your advice has shown much progress. Understanding the material you've provided has motivated me.
Thanks 😊
100% Thanks Dr.Boz. Your dedication and story has motivated and inspired me! and second, We have a broken system in medicine Doc.😷🤕☹
Malpractice? Darn right!!! Sue the pants off that hospital.
May God bless the parents and their family that knew better than to fully trust the hospital staff.
I was doing high protein keto as I understood it, but was ruled by my food addiction. Over several years, I lost weight, but could not get past the last 50 lbs. Then I saw your Sardine Fast video. Why would such a pretty doctor tell anyone to eat a can of fishies, I wondered. I’m pretty sure you are a fisher of men (and women), blessed with a brilliant mind and faith in our God and doing His work among those of us desperately seeking help. You are my lifeboat.
I found you last July and have done exactly what you say to do in your videos and books, with few exceptions. I balked at poking my fingers to draw blood 😮, but became willing and excited as I progressed. Have been monitoring blood sugar and Ketones (and DBR, of course) since December 2023. Every day! The fat dissolved so quickly once I adapted to high fat food, it is a miracle to me. Autophagy is real!!!
After all the pain of a lifetime of food addiction, morbid obesity and over 30 years in and out of Overeaters Anonymous, I became a normal looking old woman weighing in at 130 this morning. My goal was 140.
During the difficult years, I gained a compassion for my fellow obese peeps. I wanted so much to help them. Now that I look normal, people are beginning to LISTEN & ask questions. Now I can do what I have wanted to do - throw a lifeline to those sinking in despair.
God is good…. I’m a slow learner.
Thank you Dr Boz!
Sorry this is so long… I get really excited about this subject.
The incredible effectiveness of this diet, its effectiveness in restoring this child to a normal life, made an incredible impression on me! Good luck, Dr. Bosworth.
"I met this kid in late March and he had not had a seizure since that day his mom said his brain was healing and I saw him for myself at the birthday party he was playing with the other kids jumping and essentially went from a death sentence to a normal life because of a ketogenic diet."
Within a year of following you, reading the books, doing the work; I've managed to stop the blood pressure meds, and my thyroid antibodies went from 154 to 77. Still high, but who knows with time? I'll keep going.
You did Dr. Boz. Saw a couple videos, read your books, did some homework,and settled on a largely carnivore diet for the simplicity. Down 50#, fasting glucose down 20-25 pts. BP down from 130/80 to 115-120/65-75. BP meds cut in half. You did, and you have my thanks as I continue down my journey.
"It's too hard." 🙄 For who? The practitioner! It's almost like they can't be bothered to mention it, learn it, teach it, or even refer you to someone who can.
I know of a situation where a baby was born that should have never lived - details are not important and cannot be disclosed. Regardless the child lived for quite a few years with serious brain damage but still brought joy to the child's parents. However, the child suffered from seizures. The hospital prescribed a high fat diet and that helped control the seizures. This was more than 30 years ago, when the word Keto was only related to the term ketoacidosis in the public eye.
Before Keto, CKD stage 3, HP, HDL 21, trigs 260, gout, pre-diabetes, chronic joint pain, skin tags, ocular migraines, 326 pounds. At the 1 year point on Keto; no HP (off meds), Kidney function normal, no gout attacks (it has been over 5 years now), skin tags gone, ocular migraines 1 in past 5 years, 195 pounds, HDL 41, trigs 64, no chronic pain and I am now 70!! At 65 when I started I felt 80, at 70 now I feel 40!! Oh, and one very mild covid infection, but no colds for past 5 years.
You sound like me! This is crazy that we never heard about this 20 years ago. Oh I think Atkins tried, sad he knew something was right about this way of eating, but I guess I didn't research it real well back then and after three months I got off it.
Congratulations!
@@susangoss1811 I often wish I had known this 20 years ago too, but better late than never. I am almost embarrassed to tell my story it sounds like snake oil but it really works.
Well done!
Anyone able to get off meds after a heart attack with heart failure by keto or carnivore? Or any dietary approach?
We all go through this "learning curve" in this space. We find out much of what we thought we know is set in stone and is unchanging to be lies and half truths. For myself understanding keto and why it works for many people has made me unlearn my old way of thinking and exposing the real intent of the current paradigm and trying to medicate/drug your way out of every problem. corporate medicine and regulatory capture
Thank you Dr. Boz .. for everything you do and stand for 🌺🍃
Dr Boz - Johns Hopkins Hospital has known the benefits of the keto diet for many many decades and prescribe it for their epileptic patients. It’s utterly shameful that this knowledge has not been adopted by every single hospital!
The book you wrote inspired me to start the ketogenic diet!
As with much of life, the answer to the question of why Ketogenic diets are not offered, at least as an option, is: ... wait for it; ... FOLLOW THE MONEY.
Market Growth: The epilepsy drugs market reached USD 9.50 billion in 2023 and is projected to hit USD 15.16 billion by 2032, with a CAGR of 5.1% from 2024 to 2032. Leading companies in the epilepsy drugs market include Sanofi, Pfizer, UCB S.A., etc
Thank you for sharing this story Dr. Boz. this is not the first time I have heard this story and this diet is a game changer. I have tried Keto for the past few years along with fasting and intermittent fasting. I cannot believe how the inflammation in my body dissipates when I go keto after a fast. I need to learn a way to stay keto so I can have the benefits of the lower inflammation which reduces a lot of my aches and pains. I use your videos as inspiration and the certainly motivate be to eat smarter and live a better life. Thank you again for sharing all these stories. Sincerely, Tom
God Bless you and your Family Thank you what you do for us.
The pharmaceutical industry fund the medical schools and so does the food industry.
Doctors are bound by administrative protocols.
Like government police and military.
The once great Children's Hosp in Boston has fallen so so far...especially over the last decade.
Thank God for the guiding this family! My story is that after about 19 years of different symptoms without a diagnosed by the doctors (suspicion for autoimmune disorder, frequent headaches, adrenal problems, thyroid problems, muscle pain and weakness, obvious immune reactions, liver enlargement... ) I had to try to do something more and I accepted that a ketogenic diet could be the answer. But I could not find complete information (not popular in Romania) and for more that 1 and a half years I was doing wrong. I finally understood and could use measurement for the change it brought since late February 2024, thank to Dr Boz and her team. Keep up the good work! Thank you!
Thank you God bless
Thank you , thank you, thank you
I would be talking to legal counsel and we need to overhaul health care.
"It's too hard" is not an acceptable excuse. Quitting smoking isn't easy but doctors DO INFORM their patients that it's best if they do.
Amazing story! Thanks for sharing and all the work you do and share on this channel!
Good for you doctor! Just keep fighting the good fight, it’s all we have.
That should be malpractice. They should be suggesting that as an alternative to medication. Too many in the medical field are jaded by how resistant to change some are that they think we all are that way. I wish I would have discovered keto sooner.
Actually YES it is clear systematic malpractice, and should be dealt in court! That might fix the system you are angry at! I actually have similar kid in family, and YES their parents (Both MD's) are using that special fat rich diet for that kid, and kid is doing great now!
Thank you!
Amazing, hard to believe !!! Great Doc !!! 👍
My Vet husband (only bronze star) was diagnosed with severe sleep apnea and needed 2 meds to control his blood pressure, he was overweight and pre-diabetic, plus being 80% disabled. As they wanted to put him on a third high blood pressure med, and he was still stopping breathing up to 10 times each night with a Cpap...I looked to see if the DASH diet would keep him from taking the third HP med. I found Dr. Berry and Keto. Then Dr. Boz. 9 months later and he only on 1/2 HP med. Has a sleep episode once a week (woken up by his oxygen ring), lost 30 pounds (fits into his basic training pants), not pre-diabetic and can work circles around people. All because I wanted to know if the dash diet worked (no it doesn't) and found Keto!
Yes, it is malpractice to withhold life saving information just because it is perceived as "hard". I like the war veteran's clarification of what "hard" really is. We have become so inured to doing things the easy way - through a pharmaceutical vs. discipline, using machines vs. muscle power, using AI vs thinking for ourselves- we have lost all perspective on what true difficulty is.
Thank you for sharing - keeps me me on my goal and good health life choices 🎉
My son has been suffering from epilepsy since he was 15. He has one or two episodes per year, but I'm worried about the medication side effects. I have told him about ketogenic diet but he doesn't listen to me, he prefers taking medication because he loves carbs. He eats lots of them. He's underweight, though....
Doctors haven't told us anything about diet either. They cannot get money from a diet...Tablets are more profitable....¬¬

Life is hard unless you understand and follow the necessary regimen to make the road you travel easier. Your diet is the first step in a healthy life. The body is an amazing machine that only needs the right fuels and nutrients to do its job, both running with the correct energy production and the tools that promotes repair and regeneration. If you follow just the age old maxim from our health care system of "eat less, and move more" you will be doomed to be unhealthy. I was that way until I started to get sicker and sicker. Leave the ultra processed foods behind, eliminate refined carbs and increase the healthy fats in your diet and your body will thank you.
Doctors do this all the time for all kinds of ailments.
Doctors are required to follow the "standard of care".
Insurance Conglomerates and Pharmaceutical Industries set the "standard of care".
So these organizations are practicing medicine without a license?!
The *standard of care* treatments during COVID were deadly (remdisivir aka “rundeathisnear”), but everyone went along with it because they didn’t want to open themselves up to lawsuits, or lose their license/paycheck.
Yes, it is malpractice.
Ketone therapy was used in the 1920& 30s when they didn't have any epilepsy drugs but it only works on about forty percent of the patients they say.
First inspired by the Keto King: Dr. Robert Atkins...all grace and blessings to his beloved soul.
For me to watch these health-orienteted videos since 2017 was life changing. But in my middle Europe country no doctor is speaking on RUclips about low carb diet. 😒 Without english language we have nearly no access to these information. I try to spread it between my friends butwho believes me when our doctors are smiling on these ideas!?! Even my mum don't accept it untill she hears it from the authorities...Next 20 years to wait for it...😒
Yes, it should be malpractice. I am astounded that a children’s hospital does not have a Keto Clinic. There has been such a clinic in Phoenix, AZ for over 15 yrs. set up by specialists in Child Neurology. The program has been located in Phoenix Children’s Hospital Neuro Dept.for about the last 10 +yrs. Prior to the clinic formation, each Neurologist managed their own patients which is time and staff consuming. The Keto Clinic patients are managed by a Pediatric NP and a Dietitian both of whom are experts in Keto diet. BTW… patient management is easier now with increased variety of keto products available and public awareness has exploded on social media. And the research continues. Thank you for bringing this issue to light. Bravo to the parents!!
My 8 year old got Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis and could not walk. He had painful muscle spasm and was withering away. They wanted to put him on chemotherapy drugs FOR LIFE. He’ll no, we put him on a carnivore diet with some fruit and honey (he is a kid).
9 months later his JIA went away. Today he is playing sports and eats better than any kid hos age. He will never go back and we will know the industry is captured and ignorant.
❤
Gotdayum. At least TELL the patient about the cure, and let THEM decide if it's too hard. That's neglect at best, malpractice at worst.
Amazing and heart worming story! I absolutely love and highly respect what you do Dr. Boz! I have been on Keto diet + IF since almost 2 years, and never felt healthier or fitter! I lost 14kg (30lb.) got rid of my pre-diabetis and feel great and always in good mood! I would recommend to those interested in the subject of epilepsy and Keto to watch a 1997 movie with Meryl Streep called “ …First Do No Harm”. It has a similar story to what Dr. Boz talked about in this video.
Yes, ignoring diet IS medical malpractice.
Medicine is a business. They need customers (aka patients)
malpractice hell... CRIMINAL!!!!!!
I'm no doctor, but I'm aware back in the early 1980s of phenylketonuria, which causes brain damage over time without a diet that avoids the amino acid phenylaniline. That acid is basically the aspartame sweetener. So it shouldn't have been a stretch for physicians to consider an issue with glucose or other carbohydrate. Perhaps there's just a disconnect in the medical community to consider macronutrient imbalances as a cause of things--just as ketogenic diets seem not as recommended to aid in the very things the good Doctor here has studied.
I heard about using the ketogenic diet to manage epilepsy around 20 years ago, and I am not even a doctor.
