"Never take nutrition advice from a fat doctor."When Dr. Ken Berry tweeted that, he received a lot of blowback, but trust him, he knows what he’s saying. It is hard to listen to somebody when he can't even fix himself. In his mid-thirties, Dr. Berry was overweight and suffered from a wide range of health issues. As a family physician, he was aware of how terrible his nutritional advice were. And so,  as part of his self-healing and his desire to help others to live healthy lives, he began to seek answers.In search of the optimal diet, the paleo-anthropological literature gave this clear answer: our ancestors ate fatty meats. This led him to the ketogenic diet. He made it a 30-day challenge at first, a temporary weight loss hack. He was losing a lot of weight, and his other medical problems – type-2 diabetes, chronic pains, severe reflux – we’re all gone. He recommended that his patients try keto for 90 days and the results were consistent. They started losing weight. The chronic pains were getting better. No more heartburn. Reversing type 2 diabetes. Reversing fatty liver. These results all begged the same question: was it because of keto?Dr. Berry's passion for good health and the benefits of the ketogenic diet came with a price. It hasn't been easy. But he refuses to back down. As long as he gets to help humans to be healthy and not be crippled by disease, there is no stopping him.Episode quick guide:01:54 Dr. Ken Berry’s background06:56 His search for optimal diet through paleo-anthropological literature18:35 The ketogenic journey31:26 Why the ketogenic diet is more than just a fad35:59 Improving one’s health is improving the health of the planet42:45 Humans as carnivores throughout history49:19 The fad diet50:45 The mission for optimal health and the price he has to pay Get to know our guest:Dr. Ken Berry grew up in Texas, studied medicine in University of Tennessee and became a family physician.

And you need to decide how you're going to fix that.” – Dr. Ken BerryConnect with him:Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/KenDBerryMD"Lies My Doctor Told Me": https://amzn.to/3ucuLa4Connect with Dr. Ovadia:TwitteriFixHearts WebsiteStay Off My Operating Table WebsiteAmazon Theme Song : Rage AgainstWritten & Performed by Logan Gritton & Colin Gailey(c) 2016 Mercury Retro RecordingsProduced by 38atoms & Jack Heald
