I was on Metoprolol and a statin. Started keto and IF now Ive discontinued both, and changed doctors. 30 lbs lighter and feeling much better. Thank Dr Berry!!
Im on metropolol 12.5 mg down from 50mg,refused statins so on baby aspiin and metropolol. Off prasugrel also. After stents looking to manage anti platelet aspitin thru blood teats but havent found any lets me know how much or little aspirin is effecting platelets.
I am on metoprolol. I am 59 and have been on blood pressure medicine since I was about 28. I was also on Atenolol. My blood work has never shown a triglyceride issue, none that was put to me. From watching this channel, and my health is in your hands Dr Ken, I stopped taking my statin. I've lost a good bit of weight lately on the Keto diet. And the best part of Keto is I can go much longer without eating and I am not stuffing my face all the time. I am not snacking. I am not eating carbs. I look a whole lot better and my self esteem is coming back too. I was depressed and embarrassed at how my weight was going. I could see this in how people looked at me and how they treated me. I'm still not a pretty boy/man but I look a hell of a lot better now. My big gut is now just some chubb. My calves were so fat that I had to pull my jeans over them. Now my pants fall right off. I can wear all of my size 40 jeans and again and I am on my way down to my older jean sizes. I owe a lot of this to you Dr Ken. Your videos are constructive in my life.
I'm 60 ..when I was first checked at 18 I had cholesterol levels of 400 and triglycerides of 2500..doctors pretty much wrote me off..I've been on stations my entire adult life my fathers cholesterol was same as mine and he lived till 92 only being put on statins in his 70s..my point there is much more to life than meds and worrying about when you might die..take good care of yourself and LIVE each day and be kind!
Wow, and I thought mine were high and without reason at age 30 with 1,500 triglycerides. Wasn't overweight, normal SAD diet at the time that all my friends ate yet they never had triglyceride readings like mine. 30 years later, I've still yet to have a Dr. tell me WHY they were (and still are, though not as high) so high, so young, with an average/"normal" eating routine back then.
I wish to thankyou Dr Ken, I live in Australia and I have been watching your videos for 2 years now. First I started with your keto video as a starter. The results are in, after 2 years of "dirty Keto and miles of walking". Body weight ↓ 10%, Cholesterol ↓ 15% and Triglyceride ↓ 48%. Even my own doctor was impressed with the blood test results, to quote him "you managed to reduce your numbers significantly" Never to late to reverse bad health outcomes!
My sister was on danazol for years for a genetic condition we have. That raised her triglycerides so she was given a pill for that. She ended up having a non fatal heart attack in her mid 40s. Crazy situation
I try not to think of pharmaceuticals as bad, since they are life-saving for many but after watching the almost inevitable cascade of medications that take place when caring for the elderly and now being elderly myself, I strongly think we were not meant to take these as a steady diet long term. A med bothers the stomach, so another med is prescribed, which causes another side effect, which calls for another prescription and so on. And the patient is in misery so his or her life can be prolonged a year or more. What life? What are we doing?
You need to talk to a geriatric pharmacist. My mother had one who went through all her medication and sorted out what everything was for. The reality is that your doctor is not trained for things like interactions and they are only considering the current medical issue when they prescribe something. Once you take more then one medication you need to get close to your pharmacist because they spend years studying that.
🤷🏻♀️Healthy diet and natural remedies is the answer, unless we have an emergency just to save our lives, not for long term use of toxic quemicals. I suggest you to watch dr Eric *Berg* , dr Allan *Mandel* and dr *Gus* here in youtube for excellent advices and natural supplements which don't hurt if well used (the first and the last have consultants, you can phone them) and of course, keep watching this nice doctor. God bless you! 🙂
I agree. I have opted for quality over quantity of life. I have stopped all medication (14 tablets a day!!) and only on one tablet now. 2 Consultants not too pleased but they are not living with my side effects.
I thank God 🙏 that I’m in reasonably good health in my 60s and on no prescription meds. I’d be frightened to take MOST pharmaceuticals at this point. I’m so glad my own MD is a man of intelligence and common sense, and I think you are the same, Dr. Berry.
You are very fortunate to have a good doctor! Doctors I've seen spend the least amount of time they can, quick to try to prescribe statins and other pharmaceutical drugs rhat i refuse, and now I'm considered a "non-compliant patient." They also look at me like I'm crazy when I mention the keto diet or intermittent fasting like they've never heard of these before. I worked in the medical field for 37 years and know detailed anatomy, yet if I use the correct name of a body part instead of pretending I don't know, they are annoyed for some reason.
I am going through perimenapause naturally , I just turned 50 and I'm not any mess and I'm going to keep it this way!! Ketovore and IF for me , lost 90 lbs and I'm so healthy it's beaitiful!!
My goal is to share every video I watch of yours and and like. You have been so helpful. Side note, your last video you did about proper hi diet was hilarious. Great work!
Thanks for the info. Turns out I was on 3 medications with this possible side effect: Metoprolol, Lamotrigine, and Lurasidone. I have been fighting a losing battle with triglycerides for over 10 years, with the numbers becoming even more alarming the last five years. I have informed all 3 of my VA Doctors as to this info and requested change. Thanks again.
I discovered Dr Berry a couple of months ago and only recently began to follow his dietary advice. I have already lost 25 pounds and am well on my way to seriously lowering my HDL. My finger sticks have been perfectly normal since the initial changes in diet - WITHOUT the Metformin I have been taking for over 5 years! This is so encouraging. Thank, you, Dr Berry! By the way... will you please do a video dedicated to educating us on pros (if there are any) and cons of drinking diet sodas? I am finding that, above all the other things, these are the toughest to give up completely. Thanks again.
I was put on HCTH and it raised my cholesterol. Then the doctor put me in Statins. I finally got aggravated because the statins wasn’t pulling my cholesterol down to where it was. I quit taking everything, norvasc, HCTH and statins and found a new doctor. He later put me on a beta blocker but I quit that because I couldn’t remember to take them. By that time I was doing Paleo and my BO was leveling out. After going Keto, I have an excellent BP. No meds at all. Not bad for a 69 year old.
Thank you so much for sharing. I have been Keto for 3 1/2 years now and couldn't figure out why my trig went from 48 to 66 and then 67, but have been taking furosemide during the past year. This is the answer! I will be looking into if there is another one that will not contribute to this. Thanks again Dr. Berry! You are the best!
Janette green I just got my lipid panel back , and I take the medication atenolol . My tri are 128 from 48 in 2018 . My A1c 5.1 and fasting sugar 100 Cholesterol is 400 . Thyroid hormones are beautiful. She’s probably gonna wanna start me on a statin . I feel so much better though so I’m planning on getting off my cymbalta .
Once you start taking medication, you need to get a good, close relationship with your pharmacist, they have spent years studying interactions and side effects, your doctor only learned to prescribe medication for issues. And frequently they are completely focused on the current issue, not on all your other issues. This goes double for specialists . When I had problems with my BP meds, they made me cough, I arranged a consultation with the pharmacist to find out the best replacement and took that to my doctor to get a new prescription.
Thanks for this video. I had a complete hysterectomy in my 20s. I have been on harmone replacements since; around 25 years. I have struggled with my cholesterol being too high. I refuse to take cholesterol medicine. What can I do. I have tried natural harmone replacements; but they don't help me. Any suggestions? Thanks again! May Jesus continue to bless you and your family
Dr. Berry. You say the proper human diet doesn't include any carbs or fructose. However if our ancestors ate fruit and things as they came in season, then wouldn't you agree that enjoying a few tomatoes and cucumbers and melons in the summer and maybe some blackberries would be acceptable WHEN they are in season? Maybe a potato in the fall? Please talk about this or make a video on this subject. Why its ok to go with the seasons or why we should avoid this practice. Thanks for all the great videos
I believe if you enjoy robust health with great metabolism and exercise a lot like Dr. Paul Saladin, it is okay to enjoy fruit and potato (without the skin). But if you are suffering from health issues, maybe it is better to refrain from these high carb food for the time being.
thanks that would be it! My last reading of Tiglycercides was 3.7 went up by 0.7..am on regular Propranolol 80mg tds. Also Drugs in hospital over a span of 3 weeks, short term steroids..
MD put my mom on HRT and her triglycerides went up to 4,000 he then started her on statins. I'd been a RN for 25 years and I told her to stop them, lower hormone levels are a natural aging process. Her triglycerides returned to normal within a month.
Hello doc, thank you for all your videos and knowledge. Requesting if possible on your insights on glucosamine (joint ailment supplement pill) and long-term use of alpha blockers used for BPH would cause TGL rise, if incase part of any such research done. Been on paleo/keto for more than four years and my TGL levels are below 100 since then.. lchf rocks always.. 🙏
I am taking 25mg. of atenolol and my my triglycerides are 152. The blood test was yesterday. I have been eating just meat for two weeks now and have lost 1o pounds. I have a small, but muscular frame 122lbs., any help is welcome. I will continue eating meat. I ate carbs for years. I am 69. I subscribed.
I'm glad I watched this. My cholesterol is high (and triglycerides)... I was just prescribed a low dose of Seroquel for depression)... And my dermatologist wants to put me on a variant of Accutane for a skin condition...so, definitely going to decline that
Be careful with accutane. Some people suffer from digestive problems forever after. It did not cure my acne either. Please watch closely for side effects it could be a nightmare. Some people are fine though. There are also higher rates of suicide. Look it up. Lawsuits and everything.
@@GP-fj9qu oh wow... Thanks for the heads up. Definitely probably something I want to avoid then. Considering my mental health and such. Lol. I've lived with my skin condition for 37 years at this point.. I think I can manage without it. 🤣

@@JimmyR83 I want to say yes to your question based on how I feel however I can never get my reading on my meter past a .7 ..lolI have a lapband and over a yr ago I had all fluid removed and the number on the meter has hit the skids ever since. I am not strict keto but for most days I keep my carbs well below 20. The week I had my blood work done I was under some severe stress and that seemed to be the only thing that was way off at a 104 from 80
@@michelehernandez5992 oh ok I gotcha. Keto is definitely an effective tool. It did elevate my cholesterol both LDL and HDL but I was abusive with the butter and ribeyes. What are the main things you eat on this diet? I did it for 5 years I can give you some ideas if you need snacks , food ideas, drinks etc..
@@JimmyR83 I have been at this for 4yrs now and love this lifestyle. I am not a huge red meat eater never have been most of my life, I do love a good hamburger. So I eat lots of chicken, eggs, bacon, pork sausage etc. I don't consume a ton of dairy either. I eat when I am hungry basically. I cook my own food and I on a rare occasion eat out. I prep food most weeks so I know what I have to eat or snack on should I want a snack. ;-) Thanks for your input it is greatly appreciated. And my cholesterol hovers around 224 total this has been that way my whole life actually so I can not blame that on Keto ..lol
@@michelehernandez5992 nice!!! Make sure your eating some spinach , broccoli, cauliflower, kale, or collard greens. Gotta get that fiber otherwise you will be pooping milk duds for life 😂😂😂. I used to also put grass fed butter and McT oil in my coffee in the morning. That’s about 25 grams of fat to start the day. It gives clean energy with no brain fog or crash.. also macadamia nuts are a great source of extremely high fat.
People should use this advice as a very rudimentary guideline and not freak out until they do their own research. There are plenty of examples in this list of some of these raising triglycerides only in higher doses, and/or raising them only temporarily.
Hi Ken, have you seen this recent study from University of Worcester that saying eating too much meat reduces testosterone in men. Be great if you could do a video on it once you had a look, when you have a chance. Thanks.
Hey Dr Berry. What about niacin? Will niacin raise Tgs? Niacin used to be the treatment for cholesterol management (and pellegra) prior to development of statin drugs.
@@nancylane2924 It is the interaction between a chemical and the estrogen receptor that produces a biological effect (drug effect). A chemical can be naturally occurring, semisynthetic or totally synthetic. A weak estrogen drug can produce a regulatory action, meaning produce mild estrogen effect in the absence of body estrogen and block the more potent endogenous estrogen in excess.
@@Mr-hn2bp i’ve been on Vagifem vaginal inserts for years. I was told that that only produced very localized effects. I thought it must be getting into my bloodstream somehow. My triglycerides we’re through the roof last blood work.
Within months of starting the keto diet/lifestyle I lost 40 pounds & got off of all 4 of my hypertension meds, one with was a beta blocker. Unfortunately, 6 months later my hypertension came roaring back and now I'm back on 2 meds, one of which is HCTZ. Even on keto, I still can't risk that level of high blood pressure.
@@dianavp9054 I'm mostly carnivore, very low carb now and have done 16/8 IF for over a year now. I don't know why my BP went up again, dangerously so, and keto or not, that just cannot be allowed to continue. Keto is great but it's not the miracle cure all for everything.
@@stevec3872 I agree that it is not the cure for everything! It could be you need more saturated fat, or some food you are eating affecting your BP, etc. I still struggle with electrolyte balance. I supplement magnesium and potassium. I started tracking my macro and micronutrients in a food app called Cronometer. I discovered just how little potassium I was getting from food. But I'm 65 with gut issues, been trying to heal from for several years, and I can't get a doctor to help me figure out my issues. I do Not want to get on the drug hamster wheel, so I keep studying and learning. Lost 35# and 4 pant sizes, but have a problem with my energy metabolism and several MTHFR mutations. You might be interested in reading Abram Hoffer "Niacin: The Real Story."
Went on metoprolol 5 months ago after developing heart issues from Covid. Luckily I’ve had my lipids checked twice since and triglycerides were in the 50s on both occasions.
Damn, I just talked my doctor into getting me off beta blockers and she put me on HCTZ. I asked about the others you recommended (Ace Inhibs/ARBs) but she said she would have to monitor me more closely for those... since I might be losing my insurance soon, she said HCTZ would be safer. Carnivore/Keto is fixing all kinds of problems for me and I've lost 65 lbs since January, but my blood pressure is being stubborn.
First off I wanted to thank you for all your help. Your videos have guided me to lose 50lbs and get much healthier. What would you recommend for a low carb intermittent faster that’s having issues with higher triglycerides? I expected the higher LDL but was not happy seeing my triglycerides at the “borderline high” level. Of course my family Dr. wants to put me on a pill now. Was hoping to change diet and supplementation before even thinking of a pill.
Doc, can you give any HELP on didenhidritis suppuritiva? Most doctors avoid it like leprosy & say there’s no help, also that it never affects the face. But, it does. And that it never affects people over 55. But, it does. I got it AFTER that age & all over the usual places but mostly on my face! No one talks about it & they don’t even have the correct info when they do. It’s horrible, very scarring, and is there any help at all? You have helped me a lot with your videos & info that really informs. Thank you so much!
Seems the US Healthcare system is created to benefit certain groups and not us individuals. Some of the tests that was mentioned in past videos are not on "annual exams". I had to ask for these tests. I asked my PCP to order them which she did. Still waiting on them to come back. I suspect low thyroid. Already know i am Pre-diabetic. But for 20 years have been feeling fatigue, hair loss, most of symptoms of what was described by Dr. Berrys video. these tests should be included on annual exams or what they call "preventative care". I have been on keto 3 yrs but still have not lossed weight due to I suspect thyroid. I eat mostly keto.. Will share once I get report.
Hello Dr Berry My Weight is 160lb I don’t want to cut more weight please advice me which diet would be good cornivore or Keto diet waiting for your answer Thank you so much
I always hate when my blood test seem to show my cholesterol is high when I avoid or have reduced my carbs to less than 20g per day. I am on KETO for over 3 years. I am not on any medications except multivitamins; not for blood pressure or cholesterol. I do drink a glass or two of red wine almost daily but not often. I also might have a shot of whiskey, rum or vodka occasionally and not in the same day. Thinking of avoiding carbs altogether but I do work out 4 days a week and the small amount of carbs help me with energy before a workout.
My cholesterol has been high for most of life. My HDL as been as high as 103, most recently 93. I always remind my doctor that women with high cholesterol live longer than those with low cholesterol. I have never been concerned about high cholesterol because it is not dangerous.
This is the kind of reactions that makes me laugh really hard. You want to reap the benefits of keto but can't let go of your vices. Your problem is not keto but your Alcohol! Alcohol has been known to shot the triglycerides through the roof. So pls try and correct all the areas.
I'm 60 and on HRT (hormone replacement therapy) and I wonder what interactions there may be with my low carb diet. I had a blood test last week and my dr asked me to come for another one, I imagine they can't believe the cholesterol levels!
I am on Metopolol for aFib--is there a way to counter the high triglycerides effects. I am on a low carb diet and intermitent fast and now do OMAD...just wondering what to do? Or are there any other drugs I should talk to my cardiologist
Wow, I Take 200mg of Metoprolol Succ ER for Heart Rhythm and My daughter takes a small dose of Geodon 60 mg for Bipolar! Interesting. Thank you Dr. Berry!!
Take any beta-blocker ONLY in the morning when you wake up. When you wake up your heart rate goes up to meet the day time activities. In the evening and while sleeping your heart rate is low. A beta-blocker slows down your heart to lower your blood pressure or reduce the workload and thus oxygen demand of your heart .
They put me on metroplol once, I couldn't see straight I almost fell down the stairs, couldn't function at all, and after I quit taking them my body went into full rebound mode,I will never take a beta blocker again ever.
@@will2dmax1 Thanks for sharing. They make me tired. I want to get off of them as well. I may need to have an ablation. I’m afraid of that as well. Hope you’re feeling back to your old self.
@@cutestuff2 I take Lisinopril, and amoldine now for my BP..I told them no more beta blockers,beta blockers are something you need to slowly ween yourself off of, like 5- 10 mg a day..I just stopped taking them, huge mistake on my end, DON'T EVER DO THAT....TRUST ME....
@@will2dmax1 well in addition to The Metoprolol I also take Lisinopril and Amlodipine!! I have Resistant Hypertension, another Cardiologist I had just seen on the 3rd of this Month wants me to Double the doses of Both! I’m on Enough of Malarkey already!!!
I have autoimmune disease since I was 17 and no one ever told me the type of autoimmune disease I have. I almost died having my son and had a miscarriage and was put on all kinds of birth control pills from the age 19-40 I’ve more then doubled in size from weight gain I finally found a gynecologist that took me off the birth control pills at 40 yrs old the. Once I went to my family doctor after that and checking my blood I was put on metformin now I’m diabetic. These doctor’s I have had are no good. I have a sensitive system I think it’s because of having autoimmune disease I have a list of medications I can not take. I have high blood pressure one of my doctors throughout my journey of bad doctors gave me a pill called ATACAN this pill put me in the hospital 3 times and the ER heart doctor finally asked me who was the doctor prescribing me this pill and I told him and he said the last 3 times I came in the ER my potassium was low and he explained you’re heart needs potassium. So I ended up with afib from this. But my current doctor tried telling me it’s my weight and I had afib for 8 years and kept telling these doctors I have a feeling like a flutter in my chest. No one done anything. I’m now on a blood thinner Xeralto but don’t understand why am I on a beta blocker again. I need a good doctor and here in Michigan they rather see you die. These doctors are seriously not good here. I don’t know what to do or where to look for a good doctor that doesn’t discriminate against bigger people. Without trying to push weight lost surgery on me not even know how I got this way.
One of the things I dislike about doctors is that they don't tell you the side effects of what they prescribe. They should at least give their patients a handout or send them a link to information.
My blood pressure medicine (Losartan) will not work without the Hydrochlorothiazide water pill. What can I take instead? Every time I do, my physical I notice that my triglyceride levels are increasing. Thanks for your help.
Thank you! My triglycerides have gone from 44 to 286 and I am beside myself. I take estradiol and I thought it was bioidentical, for some reason. I’m assuming I need to switch to the patch? What other options for bioidentical estrogen do you suggest I research?

My wife took seroquel for awhile. That stuff is garbage I switched her over to THC gummies … It completely balanced her mood and gives her 9 hours of clean interrupted sleep!!! Gotta love the government for keeping it illegal so long.
I had a complete hysterectomy which included removing my ovaries. I am taking Estradiol and if this is raising my triglycerides what is an alternative for me. I also take Progesterone.
Seroquel is a very dangerous drug and is pure hell to come off of, as with all so called "anti-psychotics". Only benzos are worse, IMO. Most doctors could easily be replaced with a robot and you would barely be able to tell the difference.

I have informed all 3 of my VA Doctors as to this info and requested change. Thanks again.
*Can you talk about Keloids "causes and remedies" pls* ?
I discovered Dr Berry a couple of months ago and only recently began to follow his dietary advice. I have already lost 25 pounds and am well on my way to seriously lowering my HDL. My finger sticks have been perfectly normal since the initial changes in diet - WITHOUT the Metformin I have been taking for over 5 years! This is so encouraging.
Thank, you, Dr Berry!
By the way... will you please do a video dedicated to educating us on pros (if there are any) and cons of drinking diet sodas? I am finding that, above all the other things, these are the toughest to give up completely. Thanks again.
Lowering HDL is bad. You must meant LDL.
I had seen another post from him saying we need to drop the sodas as they cause the LDL to be high. You can probably find it if you search his page.
I also am interested in diet soda issues. I've given them up but I sure miss them!
Mr - LOL... I meant A1C. Thanks!
@@sspencer4036 I did subscribe and search for diet sodas specifically but wasn't successful in finding anything.
I was put on HCTH and it raised my cholesterol. Then the doctor put me in Statins. I finally got aggravated because the statins wasn’t pulling my cholesterol down to where it was. I quit taking everything, norvasc, HCTH and statins and found a new doctor. He later put me on a beta blocker but I quit that because I couldn’t remember to take them. By that time I was doing Paleo and my BO was leveling out. After going Keto, I have an excellent BP. No meds at all. Not bad for a 69 year old.
Thank you so much for sharing. I have been Keto for 3 1/2 years now and couldn't figure out why my trig went from 48 to 66 and then 67, but have been taking furosemide during the past year. This is the answer! I will be looking into if there is another one that will not contribute to this. Thanks again Dr. Berry! You are the best!
Janette green I just got my lipid panel back , and I take the medication atenolol . My tri are 128 from 48 in 2018 .
My A1c 5.1 and fasting sugar 100
Cholesterol is 400 . Thyroid hormones are beautiful. She’s probably gonna wanna start me on a statin . I feel so much better though so I’m planning on getting off my cymbalta .
Once you start taking medication, you need to get a good, close relationship with your pharmacist, they have spent years studying interactions and side effects, your doctor only learned to prescribe medication for issues. And frequently they are completely focused on the current issue, not on all your other issues. This goes double for specialists . When I had problems with my BP meds, they made me cough, I arranged a consultation with the pharmacist to find out the best replacement and took that to my doctor to get a new prescription.
Another outstanding video on triglycerides...links that a low carb diet may help lower the stats...big pharma hates revealing the side effects!
Thanks for this video. I had a complete hysterectomy in my 20s. I have been on harmone replacements since; around 25 years. I have struggled with my cholesterol being too high. I refuse to take cholesterol medicine. What can I do. I have tried natural harmone replacements; but they don't help me. Any suggestions?
Thanks again! May Jesus continue to bless you and your family
I am on Atenolol and triamterene. My Dr said my triglycerides were high. I have always had excellent levels until now.
Still loving you in Shreveport. Thank you for all that you do.
Thank you so much for educating us Dr Berry!!
Can you do a video on depression and the idiocy of the "chemical imbalance theory" of the 1950s that is used to push SSRI's ?
I hate this theory.
Amino Acid Therapy > SSRI
@@dakoderii4221 any good info on that?
@@dakoderii4221 or source I guess that I can reference
yeah, “chemical imbalance” was a marketing term that sounds scientific, but there is no biological test or proof to confirm any “imbalance “
Dr. Berry. You say the proper human diet doesn't include any carbs or fructose. However if our ancestors ate fruit and things as they came in season, then wouldn't you agree that enjoying a few tomatoes and cucumbers and melons in the summer and maybe some blackberries would be acceptable WHEN they are in season? Maybe a potato in the fall? Please talk about this or make a video on this subject. Why its ok to go with the seasons or why we should avoid this practice. Thanks for all the great videos
I believe if you enjoy robust health with great metabolism and exercise a lot like Dr. Paul Saladin, it is okay to enjoy fruit and potato (without the skin). But if you are suffering from health issues, maybe it is better to refrain from these high carb food for the time being.
thanks that would be it! My last reading of Tiglycercides was 3.7 went up by 0.7..am on regular Propranolol 80mg tds.
Also Drugs in hospital over a span of 3 weeks, short term steroids..
Thank you for this information!
MD put my mom on HRT and her triglycerides went up to 4,000 he then started her on statins. I'd been a RN for 25 years and I told her to stop them, lower hormone levels are a natural aging process. Her triglycerides returned to normal within a month.
Thank you, good information as always!
Hello doc, thank you for all your videos and knowledge. Requesting if possible on your insights on glucosamine (joint ailment supplement pill) and long-term use of alpha blockers used for BPH would cause TGL rise, if incase part of any such research done. Been on paleo/keto for more than four years and my TGL levels are below 100 since then.. lchf rocks always.. 🙏
This is good information, thank you for sharing
I am taking 25mg. of atenolol and my my triglycerides are 152. The blood test was yesterday. I have been eating just meat for two weeks now and have lost 1o pounds. I have a small, but muscular frame 122lbs., any help is welcome. I will continue eating meat. I ate carbs for years. I am 69. I subscribed.
Thank you DOC !
Thank you Dr. Berry, always appreciate your great information. Blessings ❤️💕😘
Thank you for sharing take Atorvastatin once daily And i have Diabetes me and husband we take metformin 500 2 times daily ' our feet pain ❤️🙏😮🙏❤️
Thank you for sharing Doc, Also how about Dietary supplement?
Hello Dr Berry from Pakistan
Learning so much from you
I'm glad I watched this. My cholesterol is high (and triglycerides)... I was just prescribed a low dose of Seroquel for depression)... And my dermatologist wants to put me on a variant of Accutane for a skin condition...so, definitely going to decline that
Be careful with accutane. Some people suffer from digestive problems forever after. It did not cure my acne either. Please watch closely for side effects it could be a nightmare. Some people are fine though. There are also higher rates of suicide. Look it up. Lawsuits and everything.
@@GP-fj9qu oh wow... Thanks for the heads up. Definitely probably something I want to avoid then. Considering my mental health and such. Lol. I've lived with my skin condition for 37 years at this point.. I think I can manage without it. 🤣
I've been on Seroquel for years. I've never had high triglycerides only high cholesterol.

Hey Dr Berry 🙋🏾♀️
I live the Keto life and have found that severe stress also is an elevator. Anyone else notice this?
Are you in full blown ketosis 24/7?? Or do you eat some carbs?
@@JimmyR83 I want to say yes to your question based on how I feel however I can never get my reading on my meter past a .7 ..lolI have a lapband and over a yr ago I had all fluid removed and the number on the meter has hit the skids ever since. I am not strict keto but for most days I keep my carbs well below 20. The week I had my blood work done I was under some severe stress and that seemed to be the only thing that was way off at a 104 from 80
@@michelehernandez5992 oh ok I gotcha. Keto is definitely an effective tool. It did elevate my cholesterol both LDL and HDL but I was abusive with the butter and ribeyes. What are the main things you eat on this diet? I did it for 5 years I can give you some ideas if you need snacks , food ideas, drinks etc..
@@JimmyR83 I have been at this for 4yrs now and love this lifestyle. I am not a huge red meat eater never have been most of my life, I do love a good hamburger. So I eat lots of chicken, eggs, bacon, pork sausage etc. I don't consume a ton of dairy either. I eat when I am hungry basically. I cook my own food and I on a rare occasion eat out. I prep food most weeks so I know what I have to eat or snack on should I want a snack. ;-) Thanks for your input it is greatly appreciated. And my cholesterol hovers around 224 total this has been that way my whole life actually so I can not blame that on Keto ..lol
@@michelehernandez5992 nice!!! Make sure your eating some spinach , broccoli, cauliflower, kale, or collard greens. Gotta get that fiber otherwise you will be pooping milk duds for life 😂😂😂. I used to also put grass fed butter and McT oil in my coffee in the morning. That’s about 25 grams of fat to start the day. It gives clean energy with no brain fog or crash.. also macadamia nuts are a great source of extremely high fat.
Great info! Thanks for all you do. Just had my labs done yesterday. Trigs=90 mg/dL
Thnk you! I am in the freak out mode. I am fighting a loosing battle. Drs dont have a clue. 😢
Lower Your Triglycerides: ruclips.net/video/6BDf6jZ_1w4/видео.html
People should use this advice as a very rudimentary guideline and not freak out until they do their own research. There are plenty of examples in this list of some of these raising triglycerides only in higher doses, and/or raising them only temporarily.
Awe jeez. dropped my A1c from 12 to 7 in 4 months, Trigs went up 150 points.Guesswhat? New scrip in that same period-Metoprolol
Hi Ken, have you seen this recent study from University of Worcester that saying eating too much meat reduces testosterone in men. Be great if you could do a video on it once you had a look, when you have a chance. Thanks.
Hey Dr Berry. What about niacin? Will niacin raise Tgs?
Niacin used to be the treatment for cholesterol management (and pellegra) prior to development of statin drugs.
Great info! Would HRT patch (not pill) affect triglycerides?
All HRT raises Trig's, sorry
What about over-the-counter plant estrogen, "Estroven"?
The estrogen still gets into your blood stream to work, so will have the same effect.
@@nancylane2924 It is the interaction between a chemical and the estrogen receptor that produces a biological effect (drug effect). A chemical can be naturally occurring, semisynthetic or totally synthetic. A weak estrogen drug can produce a regulatory action, meaning produce mild estrogen effect in the absence of body estrogen and block the more potent endogenous estrogen in excess.
@@Mr-hn2bp i’ve been on Vagifem vaginal inserts for years. I was told that that only produced very localized effects. I thought it must be getting into my bloodstream somehow. My triglycerides we’re through the roof last blood work.
Just watched a video on RUclips, The Big Secret- Full Medical Documentary……wow a must watch
Within months of starting the keto diet/lifestyle I lost 40 pounds & got off of all 4 of my hypertension meds, one with was a beta blocker. Unfortunately, 6 months later my hypertension came roaring back and now I'm back on 2 meds, one of which is HCTZ. Even on keto, I still can't risk that level of high blood pressure.
Have you tried carnivore and IF for hypertension?
@@dianavp9054 I'm mostly carnivore, very low carb now and have done 16/8 IF for over a year now. I don't know why my BP went up again, dangerously so, and keto or not, that just cannot be allowed to continue. Keto is great but it's not the miracle cure all for everything.
@@stevec3872 I agree that it is not the cure for everything! It could be you need more saturated fat, or some food you are eating affecting your BP, etc.
I still struggle with electrolyte balance. I supplement magnesium and potassium. I started tracking my macro and micronutrients in a food app called Cronometer. I discovered just how little potassium I was getting from food. But I'm 65 with gut issues, been trying to heal from for several years, and I can't get a doctor to help me figure out my issues. I do Not want to get on the drug hamster wheel, so I keep studying and learning. Lost 35# and 4 pant sizes, but have a problem with my energy metabolism and several MTHFR mutations.

What OTC supplements decresease triglycerides?
@@thrillerkrill5777 that would be LCHF no seed oils.
Went on metoprolol 5 months ago after developing heart issues from Covid. Luckily I’ve had my lipids checked twice since and triglycerides were in the 50s on both occasions.
Damn, I just talked my doctor into getting me off beta blockers and she put me on HCTZ. I asked about the others you recommended (Ace Inhibs/ARBs) but she said she would have to monitor me more closely for those... since I might be losing my insurance soon, she said HCTZ would be safer. Carnivore/Keto is fixing all kinds of problems for me and I've lost 65 lbs since January, but my blood pressure is being stubborn.
wow that a huge no. in 3 months.
Have you tried donating blood and did it work lowering your bp?
I've been on metoperol for 5 years but my diet sucks. Lots of refined carbs I'm gonna change my diet . I have to have metoperol to slow my hr down.
Hi Dr. Berry, I can’t control my tryglicerides despite my best efforts, is my Spironolactone the cause? ❤
It's a diuretic. So yes, it will.
First off I wanted to thank you for all your help. Your videos have guided me to lose 50lbs and get much healthier. What would you recommend for a low carb intermittent faster that’s having issues with higher triglycerides? I expected the higher LDL but was not happy seeing my triglycerides at the “borderline high” level. Of course my family Dr. wants to put me on a pill now. Was hoping to change diet and supplementation before even thinking of a pill.
Any natural alternatives to HRT that works just as well or better?
I take Lasix my triglycerides are always low. I guess it doesn't effect everyone. But my ldl and hdl are both high and a1c is around 5
Doc, can you give any HELP on didenhidritis suppuritiva? Most doctors avoid it like leprosy & say there’s no help, also that it never affects the face. But, it does. And that it never affects people over 55. But, it does. I got it AFTER that age & all over the usual places but mostly on my face! No one talks about it & they don’t even have the correct info when they do. It’s horrible, very scarring, and is there any help at all? You have helped me a lot with your videos & info that really informs. Thank you so much!
Seems the US Healthcare system is created to benefit certain groups and not us individuals. Some of the tests that was mentioned in past videos are not on "annual exams". I had to ask for these tests. I asked my PCP to order them which she did. Still waiting on them to come back. I suspect low thyroid. Already know i am Pre-diabetic. But for 20 years have been feeling fatigue, hair loss, most of symptoms of what was described by Dr. Berrys video. these tests should be included on annual exams or what they call "preventative care". I have been on keto 3 yrs but still have not lossed weight due to I suspect thyroid. I eat mostly keto.. Will share once I get report.
Hello Dr Berry My Weight is 160lb I don’t want to cut more weight please advice me which diet would be good cornivore or Keto diet waiting for your answer Thank you so much
Nice shirt!
I always hate when my blood test seem to show my cholesterol is high when I avoid or have reduced my carbs to less than 20g per day. I am on KETO for over 3 years. I am not on any medications except multivitamins; not for blood pressure or cholesterol. I do drink a glass or two of red wine almost daily but not often. I also might have a shot of whiskey, rum or vodka occasionally and not in the same day. Thinking of avoiding carbs altogether but I do work out 4 days a week and the small amount of carbs help me with energy before a workout.
My cholesterol has been high for most of life. My HDL as been as high as 103, most recently 93. I always remind my doctor that women with high cholesterol live longer than those with low cholesterol. I have never been concerned about high cholesterol because it is not dangerous.
"I do drink a glass or two of red wine almost daily but not often." Huh?.......lol
This is the kind of reactions that makes me laugh really hard. You want to reap the benefits of keto but can't let go of your vices. Your problem is not keto but your Alcohol! Alcohol has been known to shot the triglycerides through the roof. So pls try and correct all the areas.
I'm 60 and on HRT (hormone replacement therapy) and I wonder what interactions there may be with my low carb diet. I had a blood test last week and my dr asked me to come for another one, I imagine they can't believe the cholesterol levels!
I am on Metopolol for aFib--is there a way to counter the high triglycerides effects. I am on a low carb diet and intermitent fast and now do OMAD...just wondering what to do? Or are there any other drugs I should talk to my cardiologist
how long after taking a hctz does it take to get the triglycerides to come back down???
How do I find a doctor that won't automatically prescribe me medication?
Wow, I Take 200mg of Metoprolol Succ ER for Heart Rhythm and My daughter takes a small dose of Geodon 60 mg for Bipolar! Interesting. Thank you Dr. Berry!!
Take any beta-blocker ONLY in the morning when you wake up. When you wake up your heart rate goes up to meet the day time activities. In the evening and while sleeping your heart rate is low. A beta-blocker slows down your heart to lower your blood pressure or reduce the workload and thus oxygen demand of your heart .
They put me on metroplol once, I couldn't see straight I almost fell down the stairs, couldn't function at all, and after I quit taking them my body went into full rebound mode,I will never take a beta blocker again ever.
@@will2dmax1 Thanks for sharing. They make me tired. I want to get off of them as well. I may need to have an ablation. I’m afraid of that as well. Hope you’re feeling back to your old self.
@@cutestuff2 I take Lisinopril, and amoldine now for my BP..I told them no more beta blockers,beta blockers are something you need to slowly ween yourself off of, like 5- 10 mg a day..I just stopped taking them, huge mistake on my end, DON'T EVER DO THAT....TRUST ME....
@@will2dmax1 well in addition to The Metoprolol I also take Lisinopril and Amlodipine!! I have Resistant Hypertension, another Cardiologist I had just seen on the 3rd of this Month wants me to Double the doses of Both! I’m on Enough of Malarkey already!!!
Doc i have to take Tacrolimus and Prednisolone...what choice do i have ?
I have autoimmune disease since I was 17 and no one ever told me the type of autoimmune disease I have. I almost died having my son and had a miscarriage and was put on all kinds of birth control pills from the age 19-40 I’ve more then doubled in size from weight gain I finally found a gynecologist that took me off the birth control pills at 40 yrs old the. Once I went to my family doctor after that and checking my blood I was put on metformin now I’m diabetic. These doctor’s I have had are no good. I have a sensitive system I think it’s because of having autoimmune disease I have a list of medications I can not take. I have high blood pressure one of my doctors throughout my journey of bad doctors gave me a pill called ATACAN this pill put me in the hospital 3 times and the ER heart doctor finally asked me who was the doctor prescribing me this pill and I told him and he said the last 3 times I came in the ER my potassium was low and he explained you’re heart needs potassium. So I ended up with afib from this. But my current doctor tried telling me it’s my weight and I had afib for 8 years and kept telling these doctors I have a feeling like a flutter in my chest. No one done anything. I’m now on a blood thinner Xeralto but don’t understand why am I on a beta blocker again. I need a good doctor and here in Michigan they rather see you die. These doctors are seriously not good here. I don’t know what to do or where to look for a good doctor that doesn’t discriminate against bigger people. Without trying to push weight lost surgery on me not even know how I got this way.
One of the things I dislike about doctors is that they don't tell you the side effects of what they prescribe. They should at least give their patients a handout or send them a link to information.
My blood pressure medicine (Losartan) will not work without the Hydrochlorothiazide water pill. What can I take instead? Every time I do, my physical I notice that my triglyceride levels are increasing. Thanks for your help.
I can’t sleep without low dose Seroquel
Thank you! My triglycerides have gone from 44 to 286 and I am beside myself. I take estradiol and I thought it was bioidentical, for some reason. I’m assuming I need to switch to the patch? What other options for bioidentical estrogen do you suggest I research?
Thanks.

Can Atorvastatin cause high triglycerides?
Thanks
My wife took seroquel for awhile. That stuff is garbage I switched her over to THC gummies … It completely balanced her mood and gives her 9 hours of clean interrupted sleep!!! Gotta love the government for keeping it illegal so long.
What about the steriods in inhalers? Do those raise triglycerides?
I had a complete hysterectomy which included removing my ovaries. I am taking Estradiol and if this is raising my triglycerides what is an alternative for me. I also take Progesterone.
I have taken Losartan 100mg/HCTZ 25mg for years now. What should I replace the HCTZ with?
I take 120g of furosemide a day
I'm on estrodiol cream would that raise the triglycerides as well?
My doc pulled me off keto because of high tris and cholesterol.
Am I to believe my Quetiapine is responsible for upping my Triglycerides?
Seroquel is a very dangerous drug and is pure hell to come off of, as with all so called "anti-psychotics". Only benzos are worse, IMO.
Most doctors could easily be replaced with a robot and you would barely be able to tell the difference.
