    I have always had PCOS, basically since I was 15 (first period 12.5yo, now 33). The only solution the doctors gave me was the birth control pill, that I took for many years in a row. One also suggested me a pregnacy to rebalance my hormones lol. Then I decided to take a break and coincidentally to a bad break up I decided to do IF and then keto. 90lbs down, tons of muscles, best shape of my entire life. Went from a XXL to a M-L in the span of three years. It has been a long journey and I had a lot of bumps and plateau because I was also educating myself on my own and had to correct the things I was doing month by month. It was frustrating. I was alone for a long time, then I found out Dr. Berry and Dr. Berg. Best doctors of my entire life and they don't even know I exist and that they have saved me.

    This man is a genius! I was diagnosed with PCOS, had multiple expensive, painful procedures, including IVF, which, over the course of 14 years, were unsuccessful. I did get pregnant 3 times, but miscarried by 9 weeks. I ended up going to a weight loss center, dedicated to Keto-style as well as low calorie, lost 40 lbs, many symptoms of PCOS decreased dramatically, AND, I conceived my son naturally! I am still at a lose as to why my reproductive endocrinologist never gave this advice 🤷‍♀️ but IT WORKS!! Thank you Dr Berry, for all of your insight, and especially for covering this issue!! ❤️❤️❤️

    I’m 41 and was diagnosed with PCOS when I was 21. I was put on the pill and told to lose weight. I was on weight watchers and slimming world diets for 14 years and was never successful at improving anything and my insulin resistance was getting worse and worse. At the age of 35 I tried Keto. 6 years later I’m still following a Keto and carvivore diet (I alternate days) and my periods are regular as clockwork, I have lost weight, I am no longer insulin resistant, my skin is better, my mood is better and I feel like I have no PCOS symptoms at all any more 👍🏻

    I have had PCOS since my teen years, almost 30 years ago. I didn’t get diagnosed until 27, when I was at my heaviest weight 305lbs. At that time I was mostly Vegetarian. My doctors thought I was lying when I said I am gaining weight eating salads. It was infuriating. I got put on birth control and Glucophage. It sort of helped. At least I wasn’t on my period for 3 months in a row. Now that I am Carnivore. I realize all that stuff was hurting my body. I’ve been Keto for 3 years and Carnivore for at least 1 year. My body needs large amounts of fatty meat to work correctly. If you have PCOS, drop all sugar and carbs y’all. It is slowly killing you. Dr Berry is one of the first person to open my eyes to true health and insulin resistance. God Bless you and your family Dr Berry. I’m always recommending people to watch your RUclips.

      It kind of makes one curious as to why the checkout aisles are loaded with corn syrup, refined sugar and other carbs like softdrinks and chips. The connection between ill health, obesity and diabetes has been known for a very, very long time. Yet we are supposed to believe that these government officials, heads of industry and health officials actually care about us and that is why they destroyed our businesses and economy over a common virus with a miniscule death rate. Now they want us to take their "cure" which is actually killing some people and making others quite ill. It's time to wake up, people.

Even the doctors that do recognize your pcos, they always paint it out as something that will always be apart of us and that there's no hope out there, and that you'll just have to deal with it.

Those were the worst years of my life. I stayed on a low carb diet after my first pregnancy and had no problems getting pregnant the second and third time (without PCOS medication). Now later in life I still experience symptoms if I start eating carbs again. I’ve been on my carnivore journey for about a month now and I feel so much better, rosacea is gone too!

    Symptoms of PCOS:
    - Irregular/Absent periods
    - Acne
    - Excessive hair growth/loss in certain places
    - Skin discoloration
    - Stress, Depression...
    Medical professionals often treat your symptoms for PCOS, not the root cause -) HYPERINSULINEMIA
    What happens when hyperinsulinemic:
    1. You eat a high carb meal (Sugars, starches)
    2. Most of the carb gets stored in fat cells where they turn into fat
    3. Because of high amount of carbs the fat cell starts to overfill
    4. Fat cell is full and doesn't want any more sugar, sends a signal to release more insulin which 'blocks' sugar into getting into the fat cell
    (The fat cells may also burst)
    5. You have high sugar levels and your cells slowly become more insulin resistant -) diabetic
    Ovaries and adrenal glands can't become IR - insulin sensitive while you're hyperinsulinimic
    How to reverse PCOS/Insulin resistance
    • Low carbohydrate diet - avoid starches, grains, sugar -) especially refined and ultra processed foods
    • Avoid plant based diets - high in fructose
    • Intermittent fasting and less meals a day, preferably 1-3 with no snacks between
    • Exercising, mainly resistance training + HIIT
    • Apple cider vinegar when on a low carb diet - brings down sugar levels
    (Doesn't do harm nor good when you're on a high-carb diet though)

    Keto made my PCOS disappear. My Dr was shocked as bloodwork didn't show any signs any longer so had me go through a tranavaginal ultrasound that backed up its gone "Bye Bye". This was only a little over 12 mths into my keto journey. I've been KETO for over 27 mths now & no looking back. Onward & upward!

I've also developed hypoglycemia within this past year and have been trying to figure that out. I found out keto is best for hypoglycemia as well so hearing that sticking to a low carb diet will help with my PCOS too makes me feel like there's hope. Thank you again! God bless you 🙏🏼

    For many years I suffered heavy periods that gave me anemia, suffered acne and unwanted hair on my chin. My doctor recommended endometrial ablation but never told me the root cause or even the name of my condition: pcos. I exercise and I'm fit so never thought I could have insulin resistance. I started keto 6 months ago and the first thing that disappeared was the cystic acne, I know have normal periods. I thank people like Dr Berry and others in RUclips that want to empower people with information. Being fit doesn't always mean perfect health.. I could eat junk and exercise and was not overweight at all but my hormones were messed up..In the last 2 weeks I have been in the carnivore side just because I find my digestion is a lot easier and feel better

    My doctor told me that PCOS could not be reversed. I was diagnosed when I was 28 years old. Every doctor that I saw prior to that diagnosis said (about my symptoms), many women experience that. Ugh. 34 years later...my latest doctor said menopause does not change PCOS, and that I will always have it. I reversed T2 diabetes with lifestyle changes (keto). No more high blood pressure either. Now, Dr. Berry reports that PCOS is reversible! I wish our doctors were all on the same bandwagon.

    I'm a now 30 year old woman. I've been diagnosed with PCOS when I was a teenager, also Endometriosis , Adenomyosis and IC. I had to have a hysterectomy at the age of 26 because of all these issues. I had many health issues my whole life and all of them could have been avoided had I known everything I was eating was unhealthy. I mean there was the obvious junk foods but the normal standard American diet they claim is essential and needed to be healthy. Since starting a keto/ low carb diet I have never felt better. Every time I cheat and end up falling away from it I end up coming right back because I honestly feel best when eating the ketogenic way! Thanks for sharing all that you do.

  • @marthaadams8326

    YOU are absolutely right. In 1961, my obgyn ( a really good dr - there used to be many). He told me that there were only about 10 women with Stein Levanthal. Now, there seems to be 10 in every office. What changed 'birth control pills' I was told never to take birth control pills. He knew about the thyroid issues, but not the insulin issue. I have also had deep anemia all of my life. The estrogen patch is the first time in my life when I stopped fainting so much. And, recently for MGUS, I had to have iron infusions.
    I have been told that there are no accurate hormone tests.
    I totally agree with the protein almost no carbs diet. I did it for years and felt better (still had Stein Leventhal) and walked and walked every day. I was in good shape and tiny.
    Since I was young, the diet and the foods have changed so much that so much of the population is 'fat' and/or inflamed. When I was young, people were rarely sick after the polio raged through the last time in 1944. I had it and now have post polio, left me weak no matter how much I fought it.
    Now, I have kidney failure and can't have high protein - Have no idea and no medical system that even cares to help.
    I wish you were doing the lab tests the commenters said you used to do. I would hire someone to drive me over there and get the kind of blood tests that doctors used to give, not this test one thing and write a prescription stuff and then the C destroyed whatever was left of the health system - should call it the get rich on the sick system. By the way, I am a doctor Ph.D. Your research skills are unheard of in almost every field now. I really enjoy them. You can get all kinds of doctorates now with research never being taught and not having to do any to get the doctorate. '1984' has been here for long time.
    I hope you see this. since you don't practice any more, do you know of anyone who would like a nice complicated case?

    I was diagnosed with PCOS at 16 after having still born twins (cycle started at 8 y.o.) over the years I went on to get to my highest weight of 320 at 28 y.o. they had put me on metformin and insulin (as I was also diagnosed as diabetic at 26) between the ages of 21 and 38 I had 3 more miscarriages, even after weight loss surgery (which had me down to 193 lbs.) Had triple bypass at 37 and regained 50lbs. I am currently 41 and have changed my lifestyle to keto to not only try to get the 50 off but to finally have a successful pregnancy. Dr.s are still trying to get me on meds (insulin and metformin) i refuse to take them. Would rather get healthy through food and exercise.
