Hello. We’re back. I’m Brian
Sanders and I’m excited to share another great episode with you
lovely people. Dr. Ken Berry is the author of the great book “Lies
My Doctor Told Me,” he’s a speaker, he’s got an awesome and very
popular YouTube channel, and he’s a great doctor who realized he
was doing everything wrong and had the humbleness to admit this was
so and reverse course. His own health was failing him and the
advice he was giving his patients was failing them as well. I love
these people who can man up to their mistakes, admit they didn’t
have all the answers, and work tirelessly to make up for it. He’s
got a bunch of great takeaways to offer so listen up to the good
doctor!
Now I’ve got a few updates - we
just started an impromptu project - a mini-doc debunking the latest
installment of vegan propaganda called the Game Changers. If you
haven't heard of this, it’s a “documentary” on Netflix about a few
athletes who eat only plants and think everyone in the world should
do the same thing. They misrepresent science and purposely deceive
a huge population of the world who is not well-versed on food and
nutrition and might believe that because a few genetic freaks are
doing midly well eating a few salads and James Cameron who has $140
million invested in pea protein which they make the fake impossible
burgers out of say that this is how humans should eat that it is
actually true. I could go on and on about this, but I won’t because
this short film will say it all much better.
We got a great team together on
short notice including Shawn Baker, Paul Saladino, Mark Sisson, and
Tim Shieff who used to be called the Vegan Prince and was actually
in the Game Changers film. That’s until he realized the diet was
destroying his life and he moved to embrace animal foods and
basically immediately restored his health. We’re filming some
comedy reenactments of some of the stupid so-called “experiments”
they do in the film tomorrow with some of these guys. We’re going
to be releasing this on YouTube for the whole world to see for free
on November 27th the night before Thanksgiving. So many people were
falling for this propaganda piece we had to make this and get it
out quick - just in time to show your family members who may be
refusing that turkey because they saw this unscientific
joke.
This is not going to delay the
Food Lies film which is still my main focus. You can learn more
about that if you haven't heard of it yet at http://FoodLies.org I have a different team working on that and
it’s moving full steam ahead, so don’t worry!
http://NoseToTail.org is also going strong. We deliver sustainably
raised grass fed, grass finished meat to your door. It’s similar to
other meat delivery services but we use the entire animal and it's
from our family owned ranch in Texas. Get the bones, marrow, fat,
organs, and everything else at http://NoseToTail.org I’m liking the beef bacon these days. It’s
kinda like your best guy friend and best girl friend getting
married. It’s a beautiful thing.
That’s about it for now. So much
going on daily here at SAPIEN it’s hard for me to not go on about
it - you can learn more at http://SAPIEN.org So now I’ll let ya’ll hear from my man
Dr. Ken Berry.
SHOW NOTES
- Dr.
Ken Berry is a medical doctor, author of the book “Lies My Doctor
Told Me”, and has a pretty amazing YouTube
channel
- He
triggered some people with his tweet: “Don’t take advice from a fat
doctor”
- 15
years ago when he started his practice he was obese, inflamed,
diabetic, etc.
- In
changing his nutrition he reversed all his health issues and made
it his mission to help others do the same
- [around 4:54] People are so obsessed with
losing weight, but they’re spending so much of their discipline on
the meaningless practices
- You
can lose a significant amount of weight without
exercising
- 90%
of the battle is what you eat, 90% of that 90% is to cut
carbohydrates
- You
don’t need to be able to afford fancy gym memberships and grass-fed
beef
- Eat
less move more is useless advice
- Doctors believe patients are noncompliant
instead of thinking their advice is wrong
- If
you don’t look like you should be giving nutrition advice then you
should be doing something about it
- [17:29-18:11] If you remember biochemistry,
physiology, and anatomy from med school, a ketogenic diet makes
sense but is completely counter to the nutrition you learn about in
med school
- Eat
Lancet is not concerned with you entering old age with muscle mass
and good health, they are interested in feeding the world as
cheaply as they can
- Egyptian mummies had terrible atherosclerosis,
bad teeth, and the majority of their diet was a grain-based plant
based
- The
DASH diet is not backed by science and risks elevated glucose,
insulin, and cortisol
- There
is plenty of positive research supporting low carb and ketogenic
diets
- There
is a lot of negative evidence for grains and low-fat
diets
- Ken’s
“Proper Human Diet”
- The
proper human diet is a spectrum, some people do well on vegetarian
some people do well on carnivore
- He
used to think a vegetable heavy keto diet was the best diet, but
has changed his perspective of this and essentially follows a
carnivore diet now
- When
you can sit in front of food and not have the desire to eat is when
you have control over your hunger
- The
first step with patients is eliminating processed grains, refined
sugars, and industrial seed oils, if you are hungry eat fatty meat,
eat some veg, eat some eggs, just eat real food
- Just
removing these three slow poisons, will make a huge
difference
- Carbohydrate addiction appears to be a real
thing, when you withdraw from carbs you will get symptoms and it
will suck from 3-10 days but once you get past that, you will
realize how sustainable this way of life is
- In
the same way you can eat the standard American diet and not develop
any obvious nutrient deficiencies for decades, you probably can on
a muscle-meat only carnivore diet too
- You
will develop vitamin and mineral deficiencies quicker on a vegan
diet than on a carnivore diet
- When
you use a carnivore tool, and start adding back foods, they are
given answers to what makes them feel good
- Even
cheap meat is better than eating grains and processed
foods
- Myth
that meat causes gout
- Ken
predicts that in 5-7 years, Layne Norton will recommend a ketogenic
diet
- The
HDL to triglyceride ratio is best improved on a low carbohydrate
ketogenic diet
- Ken
has admitted where he went wrong in the past, prescribing statins,
etc.
- Eating this way helps with acne
