Reverse FATTY LIVER in 90 Days + Q&A with Dr Berry

Hello my friends and welcome back to Monday Night Live. I am your host Dr. Ken Barry. I am a boardcertified family physician licensed in the state of Tennessee and for the next hour or so. We're going to hang out together and I'm going to teach you the simple steps to reverse fatty liver. I'm going to teach you a little bit about what fatty liver is, what causes it, and very importantly, what does not cause it, because many people get that twisted. I'm going to give you the seven simple steps to reverse even severe fatty liver. And then at the end of this video, I'm going to tell you which labs you can get checked to monitor the progress of your fatty liver as you reverse it. So, I think this is a very important topic that doesn't get talked about enough by doctors. Do you know the main reasons doctors don't really want to talk about fatty liver? I want you to guess. Is it because they don't make as much money if you if you reverse it or uh they don't know which diet reverses it? Or is it C there's not an FDA approved pill for fatty liver? There's not an FDA approved injection for fatty liver. There's not an FDA approved infusion for fatty liver disease. So literally the average doctor, the only tool that they have is the prescription pad. All they can do, all they know to do, all they were trained to do is write you a prescription. And if there's not a pill at the pharmacy or an injection or an infusion, the average doctor is like, I don't know. [clears throat and cough] But that doesn't really help you now, does it? Fatty liver is very very common in the United States and indeed in all modern countries. Uh there are millions of people in the United States with fatty liver disease. The majority of them don't know they have it because their doctor has not diagnosed it because it actually takes thought and effort to diagnose fatty liver disease. Another very common myth is that only overweight or obese people can have fatty liver. You can't have fatty liver if you're thin, right? Yeah, actually you can. And actually in some ethnicities uh who don't fatten very easily uh like Asian ethnicities uh Middle Eastern ethnicities they will get severe fatty liver and still be quite thin and we call that tophi. Thin on the outside fat on the inside to fi. So first thing thing about fatty liver is the current medical uh name for this is non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. [clears throat] Now I try to use simple analogies so you guys can understand what's up. It's called non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Now, there's a reason for that, but it doesn't really help you the patient. Cuz if you if you don't drink alcohol, you're like, "Well, yeah, I don't drink alcohol, but I do have fatty liver, so it's non-alcoholic." Yeah, but I feel like every medical condition, the the name should give you a clue as to how to reverse it or to heal it or at least improve it. And so, this is actually happening now in medicine. Uh the reason it's called non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is because before the fast food CocaCola junk food snack all the time part of history really the only people that got fatty liver were people who were drinking lots of alcohol. alcoholics or people who are having three or more drinks each and every day because alcohol can absolutely give you fatty liver which will progress to uh nash style hepatitis and eventually cerosis and eventually death. But what people don't realize is that non-alcoholic fatty liver disease can do the same exact thing to your liver as an alcoholic is doing to their liver. It's essentially the same exact process. So, first thing we're going to do is rename it. And this is actually happening in medicine that slowly the name is changing from NAFLD, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. They're changing the name slowly but surely to metabolic associated fatty liver disease. So then you're like, "Oh, so it has something to do with my metabolisms, which probably has something to do with what I'm eating and drinking." Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. So it's called metabolic associated fatty liver disease. Now, that's the official diagnosis, but many older doctors will still call it by the NAFLD or they'll just say you've got fatty liver. But the problem with those two names is they don't give you a hint at what you can do to reverse it. And doctors don't ever really want to talk about reversing fatty liver because they don't have a pill for that. They don't have a shot for that. They have their powers. The their prescription pad helps them not. Therefore, they can't help you because they won't they refuse to think outside the box. Now, if you haven't already done so, look and make sure you're subscribed or following this channel and hit the thumbs up or the heart right now. And then I would love it if you would tell me in the comments where you're watching from. What city, what state, what country. I I love to see where the algorithm is shooting my content out to. So, please just type in the city, state, or country. You don't have to give me your street address. I'm not trying to stalk you. I just want to see where around the world people are watching this. Uh so let's get into this. First of all, I want to kind of explain to you how it happens. So many people think that eating too much fat will give you fatty liver. And this is completely false. Okay? That's not how it works. That's not how hippatic metabolism works. When you eat too many sugars, eat or drink too many sugars that can include sucrose or fructose, you're going to store too many triglycerides in your liver cells. Your liver cells are called hpatocytes, hippat liver sight cell. When you fill up too much triglyceride, which is a form of fat, in your liver cells, there you go. You've got early fatty liver and then it'll progress and get moderate then severe and then you go into stato heepitis and then you go into uh nash non-alcoholic stato heepitis and then you go into cerosis then you go into liver failure and then you go onto the liver transplant list all because you were eating and drinking too much sugar that is the cause okay now we already mentioned alcohol so I don't want to I don't want to neglect that and that's actually one of the simple steps that we'll get to in a minute. Fatty liver is driven primarily by carbohydrate excess. All carbohydrates break down into starches which break down into sugars. Okay? Your body has to do something with that sugar. And if your body's cells are already full of sugar, it's got nowhere to put the sugar. So, it stores it a as fat. Now, if it stores it as fat on your booty or on your boobs or on your love handles, you may not like it when you look in the mirror, but it's not really dangerous. But if it stores it in your liver, it's very, very dangerous. Okay? So, it's not caused by eating fat. Get that out of your head. Actually, everybody repeat after me. Eating fat does not give you fatty liver. Now, if you know someone, and I guarantee you, you do because like I said, there's millions of people who have fatty liver in the United States alone. Probably close to half a billion people worldwide have fatty liver disease. If you'll click the share button and share this video to your favorite social media, that will help me reach those people who first of all don't even know that fatty liver is a thing. Secondly, they don't know what causes it. Thirdly, they don't know how to get rid of it. and then they can watch this video about how to reverse their fatty liver in 90 days and they can benefit from it. That's how you can pay it forward. So the core mechanism is you eat too many carbohydrates that raises your insulin that drives denovo lipogenesis in the liver. Fructose, here's the and this is a big deal. A lot of people don't understand this. Fructose is metabolized very differently than glucose or even galactose for that matter. Fructose goes straight to the liver and if there's too much fructose in your bloodstream from the food that you've just eaten or drank, your liver is forced to store that as triglycerides in its cells. Fatty liver. Okay. As the fatty liver gets worse and worse, not only does it harm your liver and hurt liver function, but it also increases your insulin resistance, it makes you more likely to develop type two diabetes and other stuff. Now, last week we talked about the five simple steps to reverse type two diabetes. And so, if you if you got type two diabetes or you know somebody who does, you can watch last week's video called How to Reverse Type 2 Diabetes: Five Simple Steps. Look that one up. Okay, are you ready for the steps? Let me pull up my banners. Step number one, this is mandatory. This is not optional. If you've got fatty liver, it's very dangerous. You need to reverse it. Number one step is you have to eliminate all liquid sugar. Obviously, you need to eliminate the Coca-Cola and the Pepsi and the Dr. Pepper and the Mountain Dew, of course. You need to stop the chocolate milk. You need to stop any any liquid that is sweetened with sugar. So obviously you're like, "Yeah, duh. Coca-Cola, I got to stop that. That's that's not good for me." But liquid sugar includes fruit juice. Okay? And so if you've got fatty liver right now and you want to reverse it, you've got to stop all fruit juice for the next 90 days. In many cases, fruit juice has more fructose. Remember that sugar that the liver has to deal with? In many cases, fruit juice has more fructose than Coca-Cola. Grape juice has more fructose in it per ounce than Pepsi Cola. Apple juice has more fructose than Mountain Dew. So, yeah, high fructose corn syrup's got to go for sure, but so does the fruit juice if you truly want to reverse your fatty liver disease. Now, if you're tire if you if you really want to improve your health and you're kind of sick and tired of watching YouTube videos and going from this influencer to that influencer, if you're dead serious about improving your health, reversing type two diabetes, reversing fatty liver, lowering your blood pressure, reversing obesity, getting healthy, improving your arthritis, you need to consider joining our our PhD community. We've got thousands of people from all over the world who are dead serious about living life. And I think that you may be in that category, too. If you are, click the link, it's in the show notes, and become a member of our PhD community. There's two different levels. I'll talk more about that later, but I want to get back now. I want to go to step number two. Step number two is you got to cut the carbs. If you watched last week's video, you know that's also how you reverse type two diabetes. See, fatty liver and type two diabetes are caused by essentially the same thing. Too many carbohydrates in your diet. So, you got to cut your total carb intake to at least less than 50 total grams a day. Some people have to cut it down to 20. Some people have to cut it more than that. But I if everybody in America cut their total carbohydrate intake to under 50 grams of carbs a day, 95% of fatty liver would disappear. If you did step one, stopped all liquid sugar, and step two cut your carbs to less than 50 total grams a day. 95% of cases of fatty liver would just go away within 90 days. Yeah. So, the the the next five steps are going to help and they're going to help help it come faster. But these two steps, these are the these are the two big steps. Okay? [snorts] So carbohydrates are all made out of sugar. They're just long chains of sugar holding hands. That's what carbohydrates are. Your body immediately starts to break down sugar in your mouth before you even swallow whatever you're chewing or swishing around. It breaks it down to sugar there. Then when it gets in your stomach and your small intestine, it's all the carbs are broken down into sugar. It can be carbs from just a junk jelly donut. Or it can be carbs from the most expensive loaf of sourdough bread that that cost $27 a loaf. They're both just made up of sugar, starches, carbohydrates. You got to cut all the carbs to less than 50 total grams a day, and your fatty liver will be gone within 90 days. Step number three. Now, this is where the the cheese gets binding, so to speak. Granddaddy Barry used to say that. Hey, Granny Barry. By the way, Granny Barry's watching uh from Alabama. She's staying with our parents down there. She loves it when you guys say hi to to her and where you're watching from. She's 95 years old. And she called me this morning and gave me an update on her heart. I was out in the pasture sewing clover seed and and talking to Granny Barry with my earbuds and she was telling me all about her heart. So say hi to Granny Barry. She loves it when you do that. Now let's I I've already talked about liquid sugar, but now we're going to drill down. This is where it gets real. Fruit has been so healthwashed. It's been so greenwashed in modern society. We anytime somebody wants you to eat healthier, what do they say to eat? You have to eat more fruits and vegetables. It's never eat more vegetables and fruits. It's always eat more fruits and vegetables. Maybe they say it that way because it's in alphabetical order. I don't know. But all I can tell you is is that fruit, although not as concentrated a source of fructose as fruit juice, is still very high in fructose. Fruit. FRU. That's that's where fructose comes from. It's fruit sugar. Okay? So, I'm not saying you have to stop fruit for the rest of your life, but for the next 90 days, if you want to get rid of your fatty liver, you need to you need to stop any source of fructose. Now, lots of mixed drinks, lots of wines actually have fructose in them. All that's got to stop if you want to get rid of your very dangerous fatty liver disease. Okay, [snorts] step number four. And I'm sorry, I love you in advance, but if you've got fatty liver, even though you have non-alcoholic fatty liver, if you're drinking one or more alcoholic drinks a day, that is at least in part part of the cause why you have fatty liver. And for many people, they can follow all these steps, but if they keep drinking their two or three little drinks at bedtime or their little couple of glasses of wine with dinner, they'll never reverse their fatty liver. It just won't happen. Step four, all the alcohol's got to go for 90 days. And I think this is a great challenge for people. If you're like, "Well, I just have a glass of wine at dinner." Good. Well, you won't miss that for 90 days, right? That won't be a big deal at all. will would be nothing. Or you be like, "Oh, I just have one little mixed drink at bedtime." Well, if if that's the case, this will be easy for you. You just don't do that little thing for 90 days. But I think what a few of you will find when you try to stop all alcohol for 90 days is that alcohol is calling to you. You're like, "Boy, I [clears throat] sure could go for a drink right now." And I think a lot of you guys, if you do this 90 days with no alcohol, you'll find out that you had a little problem with alcohol. Maybe not a big enough problem that you need to go to rehab, but alcohol is very insidious. It's very seductive. It'll sneak up on you. You'll be like, I just have a little glass of wine at dinner. But actually, if I came to your house and looked at the glass, it holds an entire bottle of wine, right? It's it's actually a a cooler. And you you're calling that a glass of wine, but it's really a tumbler. Okay? You got to stop the alcohol if you want to reverse your fatty liver. This is not optional. Even if your fatty liver, even if your doctor said, "Oh, you have non-alcoholic fatty liver." Guarantee you it's partly the alcohol is partly to blame. It's got to go if you want to reverse your fatty liver. Now, I've already told you all these things to stop. Now, I'm going to tell you something that you get to eat as much of as you want because what I'm about to tell you does not in any way give you fatty liver or contribute to fatty liver, and that's to feed your body animal fat and animal protein. These are full of vitamins and minerals. They're part of a an ancestrally appropriate proper human diet. There is no proper human diet without animal protein and animal fats. It could come from eggs. It could come from fish. It can come from dairy, but you got to watch out for that. You got to stop the carbs. You got to stop the carbs, okay? And you But you're not going to starve yourself because you're going to eat until you're comfortably full with animal fat and protein. And if you want to add some low carb vegetables, that's fine. If you want to add some low carb nuts, that's fine. If you want to add a few low carb berries, that's also fine because there's not as much fructose in them as there is in a big bunch of grapes. So you you're not going to starve, okay? You're not going to miss your alcohol. You're not going to miss your your your fruit juice smoothies. So let me let me just be blatant here and be be very clear. Stop the fruit juice for 90 days. Stop all the fruit. But that also includes fruit smoothies as well. A lot of people kind of have magical thinking. They're like, "Oh, I don't drink fruit juice. I don't eat a lot of fruit, but every morning I make a big uh fruit fruit smoothie. That's that's that's fruit. It's jacked up with fructose, and it's going to make your fatty liver worse, not better. Okay? You got to you got to feed your body the animal fat and animal protein. You got to cut the carbs. You got to stop the alcohol. You got to stop the fructose. Okay. Now, step number six is very easy. You don't have to do anything. You just don't do something. You ready for number six? Number six is I want you to not eat for 16 hours out of the day. Now, you already don't eat for seven or eight hours a day while you're in bed asleep. I just want you to keep tacking an hour right before bedtime and tack on an hour after you wake up where you don't eat or drink anything with sugar in it. Okay? Milk's got sugar in it. It's got lactose, which breaks down to galactose and glucose. Yes. Milk has sugar in it. Even raw milk is full of sugar. Yes. Okay. So, you got to you got to not eat for 16 hours. But you don't have to just say, "Okay, tomorrow I'm going to fast for 16 hours. You're already fasting for eight. So, just tack on an hour before bedtime and an hour after you wake up." Now, you're fasting 10 hours a day. See, you're almost there. And just keep tacking on an hour. And if if you're eating until you're full with animal fat and protein, it's going to be so much easier for you to do this. Eventually, you'll just be skipping breakfast or you'll be skipping dinner. You just like, I'm not hungry. I'm not going to eat. Now, I hope that uh you won't be offended if you lose some weight while you're trying to reverse your fatty liver because if you follow all seven of these steps, you're going to lose some weight. Okay? And I hope you also don't mind if it if this these seven steps also lower your blood sugar and help reverse your type 2 diabetes because that's going to happen too. So fasting for 16 hours a day. And so you're going to eat once or twice or thrice in your eight hour feasting window. You're going to eat till you're full, but you're not going to snack in between at all. Snacking is an emotional event. As my friend Dr. Cyus says snacking is a childish behavior. If you're wanting to snack between meals, that means you didn't eat enough at your last meal. I told you blatantly to eat until you're comfortably full. If you pushed away early, I'm like, "Oh, I don't want to eat too much." Okay, well, that's not going to help your fatty liver at all. Also, you're going to be wanting a snack. And when you eat that snack in between, it's most likely not going to be a perfect food that you're eating for snacks. Okay? Just don't snack between meals. Eat one or two or three meals a day in your eight hour window and fast for the other 16 hours. It's that simple. And then step seven is to lift heavy things. And I know that sounds a bit vague. And the reason I say it that way is because I don't know where you currently are. Now, if this was Granny Barry I was telling this to, I would say, "You need to buy some one-pound weights from Walmart and start lifting those weights because she's 95 years old. She's a little old little old lady. I can't get her some 20 lb dumbbells. That would not work. She would hurt her shoulder." But you know where you're at right now. You know what what size weight you need. You can buy them at any big box store. You can buy them off Amazon. They'll deliver them right to your door. But you need to start lifting heavy things. This is going to help you put on muscle. Also, you're eating much more animal fat and animal protein now. Makes it much easier to put on muscle. Okay? And the more muscle you put on, even if it's just a pound or two. That gives your body thousands of cells to push glucose into so that you don't keep your blood sugar as high. If your blood sugar is too high too often, too long, it's you're going to store some triglycerides in your liver. back to fatty liver. So, the more muscle you've got, the more places your body has to store that the blood sugar and that way you don't have to worry about it. That's it, guys. That's just how simple it is. Now, you may already know that simple is not the same thing as easy, right? Uh simple means it's it's very blatantly clear how to do it, but that don't mean it's easy, right? How do you get rich? you just make more and spend less. Well, that's simple, but for many of us, it's not that easy. So, I want you to start these seven and you can go back and rewatch this again. So, you can write them down or you can just come back and watch this video if you need some uh motivation and then you will know how to reverse your fatty liver disease which is now called metabolic associated fatty liver because the foods you eat affect your metabolism and lead to the fatty liver. And you do not have to be fat to have fatty liver. You can be quite thin and have severe fatty liver disease. Now's the time I'm going to answer some of your questions. So, if you've got a question for me, type it into the comments and I'll see it on my screen. Yeah. Carrie Rose says, "Yeah, it's not that easy." That's right. It's simple, but it's not that easy. Uh we've got a couple two or three of our uh private or PhD community coaches in the chat and they'll have a little blue wrench beside their name. I'm not sure why YouTube picked a blue wrench. But if if you ask a very simple beginner question and somebody with a blue wrench and a blue name answers your question, they are one of my coaches and they they know what they're talking about. Okay. So, we're gonna me and the coaches in the chat are going to try to answer as many of your questions. Ah, here's a great question from Candace. How much should I eat in an eight hour window? Now, here here's I'm about to break a bunch of brains. I'm about to reach in your head and shift your paradigm. I don't care how much you eat. Yes, a board-certified doctor just said, "I don't care how much you eat. I want you to listen to your appetite. I don't want you to count calories. I don't want you to weigh your food. I don't want you to portion control. You don't have to do any of that to reverse fatty liver. All you got to do is cut the carbs below 50 total grams a day. Cut out the liquid sugar. Cut out the alcohol. Cut out all the fructose for 90 days and your fatty liver will be gone. So Candace may be she may be five foot tall and weigh 90 pounds. She's going to need a very different amount of food than than if Candace was 5'11 and currently weighs 190 pounds, right? So, I can't tell you how much food you need to eat, but you've got this very, very sophisticated instruments in your body. Got several actually, but you got two we'll talk about now. You've got this thing, your tongue. When food stops really tasting good, that means you're full. You should stop eating. Okay? You've also got this thing, your brain. Your brain is constantly putting out hormones and sensing hormones from your body. Okay? Your pancreas is putting out hormones, your liver, all all lots of different organs, your adrenal glands, all these hormones are going in all directions. And when you stop eating the junk and stop drinking the junk and eat real human food, all of a sudden you can trust your appetite again. And I know what you're saying. You're saying, "Ah, you don't know my appetite. It doesn't matter." Okay? You're wonderfully and beautifully created. You You're not broken. You may think you are. You may have convinced yourself that you're broken, but it's not you that's broken. It's the food and the drink that we've been uh propagandized into believing is healthy and good for us. Oh, these are protein Doritos. This is my look of disbelief. This is my judgy look. What? No. No. Okay. I'm I bet they got protein donuts now. Do they? Somebody tell me in the comments. Is that I guarantee you what? >> Oh, there's protein water now. Literally, it would not surprise me if they came up with protein toilet paper. Get get two grams of protein when you wipe your butt. You know where you get protein from? meat, eggs, and fish. That's where protein comes from. Not from a powder, not from a shake, not from donuts or Doritos. Uh protein comes from meat, eggs, and fish. That's where protein comes from. That's the most usable, the most absorbable, the highest quality protein a human body can eat. So, Candace, you wait until you're truly hungry in the morning. Try to wait an hour or two after you wake up and then you're going to eat your first meal of the day. If that if that's two eggs and two pieces of bacon, huzzah. If you're completely full, if that's six eggs and six pieces of bacon, huzzah. As long as you're completely full when you push away from the table, then you did exactly what you should have done to reverse your fatty liver. Oh yeah, here's a good question from Six Sense. Does fatty liver cause shortness of breath? If it's severe enough, it absolutely can. And it actually can do it by more than one mechanism. The the predominant mechanism is as your liver gets full of fat, it gets bigger and bigger and bigger. And your liver can actually be twice its normal size. Now, right sitting right on top of your liver is a muscle called the diaphragm. And right above that is your lungs. So, you can imagine if your liver is twice the size it should be, there's not as much room for your lungs and not as much room for your diaphragm to work. Oh, yeah. Great question here from JC. I cheat on carnivore with keto occasionally. Is that okay? Yes, 100%. If the worst cheat you do is to add some broccoli and a few cashews to your ribeye, you're winning. Okay? You are winning at life. if that's the worst cheat. Some people Some people need to be carnivore. Most people don't need to be carnivore all the time. A lot of people need to do a 90-day beef, butter, bacon, and eggs carnivore challenge, but not everybody needs to be carnivore the rest of their life. Here's uh Patrice. Patrice says, "Can I lift weights every day?" I wouldn't lift the same I wouldn't use the same body part. So, let's say today you got your one or two pound dumbbell, maybe five pound, Patrice, I don't know how how powerful you are, and you did some curls, right? You did this with both arms, two sets. I wouldn't do that again tomorrow. Tomorrow, I would do triceps. I would do pushing. I would do some push-ups. I would do some other body part. So, you want to each time you work out a body part, you want to give it a day or two to rest and recover. And and that's a great question because a lot of people have literally never lifted weights in their lives. They're like, I don't know the first thing about this. But you don't want to work out the same body part really hard every single day. That can lead to an injury. Ah, Carrie Rose brought up the unmentionable is honeybat. So, anytime you guys ask me this question about any food whatsoever, my very next question to you, I'm going to answer a question with a question. My question will be, well, what's in it? What's it made of? And if you're if you're not into nutrition like I am and into health like I am, you may be like, I don't know, honey spit, bee spit, I I I don't know. Well, that's pretty close. It's be vomit. But basically, honey is pure sugar, uh, predominantly fructose, but it also has sucrose and glucose in it. And a lot of people are like, "Wait, I thought sucrossse is table table sugar." Yeah, honey has that in it. Yes. And most fruits have fructose, glucose, and they also have sucrose as well. If you don't believe me, you can look it up. I'm not here to lie to you. I'm here to help you reverse your fatty liver. So, honey is out. That is pure sugar. So is agave nectar. So is molasses. So is pure non-GMO organic maple syrup. It's pure sugar. It's got to go for at least 90 days if you want to reverse your fatty liver disease. Tell me in the comments, are anybody surprised that I'm like, uh, maple syrup is junk food. Even if literally you tap the tree and then boil it down yourself, it's it's junk. It's pure sugar. It It's got exactly the same sugars in it as a Coca-Cola. Honey actually has way more fructose in it than the high fructose corn syrup in a Pepsi Cola. Agave nectar. I used to think when I was first learning about nutrition, I was like, "Oh, that's got to be good. It's from a cactus or something. I don't even know. Pure sugar. That's got more fructose in it than a Dr. Pepper." Not the diet Dr. Pepper. The real Dr. Pepper. Yeah. You believe that? We're so befuddled by food because every other animal on Earth knows exactly what to eat. They know when to eat. They know how much to eat. And they know when to quit eating. Human beings are like, "H, we can we can we can fly rockets and and and solve math problems and sometimes cure cancer, but we don't know what to eat or when to eat or how much to eat." Don't you find that fascinating? This is the most fascinating thing. We're so intelligent, but we're like, "Oh, what the honey? I don't know. I think it's a health food." It's sugar. It's pure sugar. I'm sorry. Please forgive me. Oh, wait. Where'd that go? Come back here. Paul, no. Melinda. Melinda says, "What about alulose?" Aulos is fine. I think stevia is fine. I think that monk fruit's fine. Aulose is fine. But here's the question I want all y'all to ask yourself. If you're an adult, do I really need something sweet every single meal? Is that normal? Or have I been bamboozled into believing that I I just need something sweet, a little something sweet after every meal? Every cup of coffee's got to be really tastes. It's got to be sweetened, right? Do really I think that if you'll think about that for a minute and then work on it for 90 days, you'll be able to break a lot of that. I think it's fine to have an occasional sweet treat made of alulose or stevia or monk fruit. But I want everybody to kind of reexamine. Why do you think you have to have dessert with every meal? It's very odd. Oh, here's Velma. Are grass-fed beef sticks okay? We have started eating them. Yes, 100% they're fine. Let me tell you what else is fine. really good for you and that will help you reverse fatty liver. Hot dogs, as long as you read the ingredients and make sure they're 100% beef or 100% whatever meat and very low in sugar, they're a health food. Bologoney, got to read the ingredients. Don't get one with too much sugar. That's a health food. Beef jerky, 100% health food. Just don't get the kind that's smothered with sugar. Yeah. So many things that what are hot dogs? Now come at me. Let's let's argue about it. What what is a hot Oh, hot dogs are junk food. What's he talking about? Well, what is a hot dog? Remember my question. What's it made of? What's in it? And a lot of people like, "Oh, you never know what's in baloney hot dogs." Well, actually, you do. You flip it over, it's got the ingredients right there on it. And if you don't believe the manufacturer of what they put in the ingredients, if you think that's a lie, then I I mean, all of life is a lie. I guess you'd need to go live in a cave. They're federal laws. They have to put not only what's in it, but the whatever's got the most in it has got to be number one. First ingredient. First ingredient is going to be meat. And if you'll read the ingredients and find one that's pretty much sugar-free or almost sugar-free, very low in carbs, high in animal fat, high in animal protein. It's just ground up meat, some salt, which is good for you, not bad for you. Salt doesn't cause fatty liver. sugar does. Hot dogs and baloney, potted meat, spam. They're just ground up meat, salt, spices. That's it. There's nothing bad about them. But they've been so demonized because we're what we're trying to do is demonize junk food. And and very often that that turns into demonizing fast food, which 90% of it is junk. But you got to think about each individual thing. And so if somebody goes to McDonald's and buys a a a a double quarter pounder with bacon, happy meal, and supersizes it. So it's big giant fries, big giant Coke, and a big giant burger. Is every single bit of that junk or is there a few things in it that are fine for you to eat, but the rest of it is junk? We have to be We have to be able to discern. You can't just blanket label, oh that that that big that quarter pounder meal pack, that's junk. No. You know what I would do if you bought me a quarter pounder superized meal? I'd take the Coke and I would pour it on Nisha's garden so the sugar could feed the plants. I would take the French fries and give them to Nisha's chickens so they could turn them into eggs. I would also give them the bun off the burger. And I would eat the meat and the cheese and the bacon. And if you were keto or or ketovore, you could eat the pickles. And there you go. That's that that part of the value meal is actually real healthy human food. Just like hot dogs. If you buy a hot dog meal at wherever um what's the root beer place you can get a hot dog meal, throw away don't drink the root beer. Don't eat the fries. Don't eat the bun. Just eat the dog. Very often I'll go into a truck stop if I'm traveling and don't have time to sit down and I'll buy buy four or five of those big fat hot dogs off the roller thing in the truck stop. Put some mustard on them, eat them up. Zero sugar or very very low sugar. That's how you do it. You can't just Yeah. Agave so bad. Primal life. Agave is like hyper concentrated sugar just like honey. Yeah, Tracy, you're you're exactly right, Tracy. Some hot dogs do. That's why you're going to be an ingredient detective. You're not going to be an idiot. When you buy hot dogs, you're going to flip over the pack and see how many total grams of carbs are in a serving and also see what the serving size is. Much a lot of bacon is cured with sugar or cured with, you know, maple syrup. But you're going to flip it over and if it's three slices of bacon and it has less than one gram of carbohydrate, health food 100%. Same for hot dog, same for bologna, same for any kind of processed meat. As long as it's a rational size serving, three three slices of bacon, that's rational serving. Now, if it was one slice of bacon, they're trying to trick you. You know, it's like the the the big cookies you buy. It's like I don't know. They used to be 99 cents, but it's this big around. And you're like, "Bam, I'm about to eat this cookie." But if you flipped it over, it' be like, "Oh, serving size is one quarter of the cookie." Like, everybody's going to break their cookie into quarters and then put threequarters of the cookie back in the little plastic bag and just eat a quarter of the cookie. They play all kinds of reindeer games with the the labeling. You got to be smart enough, discerning enough to not let them trick you. Uh, this is Papa Loki. Papa Loki is about to learn something. Uh, Papa Loki says McDonald's cheese is not real cheese. It's actually 100% real American cheese. And for many of you, you'll be like, "Oh, American cheese is not real cheese." It actually it is. Uh, now, not all fast food restaurants is a 100% real cheese. So, Poppy, you're sort of right. But McDonald's, last time I checked, it's 100% real American cheese, which is a form of real cheese. Uh, yeah, it's real cheese. But very, very often I won't get the cheese because I'm a dairy addict. I just love Yep. Here's um this is Paola, one of our coaches inside the group. She's been with us for years. If Paola answers one of your questions in the comment, you can just consider it came straight from me. Okay. >> [snorts] >> Uh, make sure to buy clean hot dogs. There's at least six clean brands in the stores. Paulo, uh, put in a brand or two. Anybody, if you know a really good clean brand of hot dog or baloney, put in the comments because a lot of people don't know such a thing exists. Now, every question you're about to ask me, 10 corn beef, what's in it? What's it made of? Flip it over, Lisa, and read the ingredients and look at the total carb count. And then you'll know if it's if it's a good food or if it will contribute to fatty liver. Judy says, "What about sparkling ice drinks? Are they okay to drink?" Judy, what's in it? What's it made of? Flip it over. Read the ingredients. How many total carbs does it have? That's how you do this with every question you're going to ask me. So, if it's sugar-free, it's fine. Yes. Another great meat that gets demonized from Damon wear. Sausage is good also. It's just meat, salt, pepper, spices. That's all sausage is 100%. Now, there are some sausages that have too much sugar, but you're not an idiot. You're going to flip over the pack and read the back. Total carbs. What are the ingredients? And then you'll know if it's a good, clean sausage or not. These are good questions tonight, y'all. Are y'all enjoying this format? Is this the way we need to keep doing this? Uh, here's a question. So, remember I said earlier that if your fatty liver keeps getting worse and worse and worse, finally you'll get something called nash, non-alcoholic steattopatitis, which is an inflammatory fatty liver, and eventually you'll start to get cerosis. Uh, so CTRS says, can cerosis be reversed? So if you have any degree of cerosis, you need you can never drink one drop of alcohol again. If you if you still drink alcohol and you have cerosis, you pretty much hate yourself and you're committing slow suicide. You just need to be honest with yourself. Look in the mirror, say, "Yeah, I hate you. I want you to die, but I I'm too I'm too chicken to just put a bullet in your head." Go and tell all your family, "Yeah, I've got cerosis. I'm still drinking alcohol because I don't really care about y'all." And just be honest about it. But if you have cerosis, you can absolutely lessen the severity of it. And to some degree, you can reverse the cerosis. The liver can regenerate. It can regrow. It can rebuild. It can heal. But you got to stop pounding it and punishing it and and giving it elbows off the top rope. You got to give your liver a chance to heal. And it will. Now, I'm not saying you're going to cure cerosis completely, but you can improve your cerosis score. I've seen it happen hundreds of times. Oh, you guys are talking about all the good brands. Absolutely. I love it. Let me find another good question. Oh, oh, let me be clear about this. Emily says, "Are you saying not to eat more than three slices of bacon? Cuz I love bacon." Now, did I say that? I don't think I said that. In fact, I never eat three slices, just three slices of bacon. Ever. If I come to your house for breakfast and you give me only three slices of bacon for my breakfast, I will I will I will think that I have wronged you somehow, that I've offended you, and that we're not really friends. You can eat as much bacon as you want. Bacon is just animal fat and animal protein mixed together. It's actually a one:1 ratio of fat to protein. If you want to eat three slices, six, nine, 12, sometimes I'll eat a whole pack of bacon at one sitting and I have zero fatty liver and my blood sugar is pristine and my A1C is beautiful and my triglycerides are beautiful and my HDL is beautiful and I eat all that bacon. How's that possible? Because bacon is just sliced up meat, salt and spices. It's not junk food. Ah, animals to know what oils are allowed. So, I would highly, highly encourage everybody listening to this, if you have any sort of vegetable oil in your kitchen, just pause this video right now, get up and go in the kitchen, get the vegetable oil, and put it in the trash because that's what it is. Canola oil, garbage. Soybean oil, garbage. Safflower, sunflower, shortening, plant butter, all that's garbage. Okay, you want to eat only the fats that human beings have been eating for thousands of years. The fats that our body knows what to do with animal fats. I think avocado oil is fine. I think olive oil is fine if it's real because 90% of it's adulterated with canola oil. I think coconut oil is fine, but the majority of the fat that you cook with and the fat that you eat should be animal fat. Bacon grease, beef tallow, chicken fat, any kind of animal fat. If you're eating eggs, don't you dare throw away a yolk. If you throw away a yolk, I will take you off my Christmas card list. You will never get another card from me. The yolk is where all the vitamins and minerals are. Yeah, there's fat in the yolk. That's good. Fat is good for you. It's not bad for you. You could eat 200 egg yolks a day. It will not give you fatty liver. It will also not make you fat. Eating fat does not make you fat. Eating fat does not cause fatty liver disease. Isn't it funny how much stuff that we've just been completely misled about? Tell I want everybody to tell me because there's so many myths. I want you to tell me in the comments something you used to believe about food and and would fight. You get in a little a verbal argument. If somebody said so and so was good for you, you be like, "Oh, it is not. What are you talking about?" Or if somebody said, "Oh, so that's bad for you." You be like, "What are you talking about? That's not bad. I want to know a myth that you used to believe in your heart of hearts and you now know it's bunk." I want to see those comments. Let's see what we got. Oh, Holly, thank you so much. Holly's been with us for years. Vicki doc says most without gallbladder develop fatty liver. This is absolutely false. This is 100% false. Having a gallbladder is optimal. You want to keep your gallbladder if you can. But even if you don't have a gallbladder, that in no way causes you to develop fatty liver. What causes you to develop fatty liver is the opposite of the seven simple steps that I told you this evening. My liver enzymes are good. So, you probably don't have fatty liver, but you can have early fatty liver and your liver enzymes still be normal. Now, let's talk about the tests. We haven't talked about that yet, have we? What are those tests yet? So, here's how you track. First of all, do you have fatty liver? So, many people do and their doctor either doesn't check the test to look for it or they check the test and the test is a little bit high and they like, it's probably no big deal. I'm going to tell you what the tests are. A ST, ALT, and GGGT. Those are the three best tests for your liver. Now, there's others, but those are the three best. If any one of those is even one point high, you probably have fatty liver, at least to some degree. And so many people, they'll go to their doctor and say, "Hey, check that." He'd be like, "I've never checked that." And they're like, "Yeah, I know. I want to see if I have fatty liver." They get their labs back, their A and ALT are 50 100 points too high. Their GGGT is 40 points too high. They got fatty liver. And then they start following these se seven simple steps. And after 90 days, they go back. And that's exactly what I want you to do is go back in 90 days and recheck your A, your ALT, and your GGGT. And they'll be either normal or real close to normal. Some people it takes six months. It takes 180 days, but the vast majority of people, 90 days, those numbers will be normal if you follow these seven steps. How cool is that? Here's a question from Oh, Papa Loki. What about the sugar and milk? Uh, so it it is galactose and f galactose and glucose put together to form lactose. Lactose is a bisaccharide. It's made up of two sugars. galactose and glucose. And both of those, the glucose will spike your blood sugar, which will raise your insulin, which will make you more likely to store fat in places that you don't want to store fat. Milk is for growing mammals. So, baby cows, baby humans, Becket and Bonnie still drink milk. Nisha and I never do. We're grown. We don't need milk. Milk's for growing infants and children. Milk's not for adults. Milk's primary purpose is to make a mammal grow and gain weight as quickly as possible. That's the literal definition of what milk is for. Do you want to grow and gain weight as quickly as possible? Uh because you and I are done growing this direction, but we can still grow that other direction, right? Milk's for milk's for babies. It's not for adults. A binder. Someone on YouTube said Redmond real salt uh isn't good because it has arsenic in it. Is that true? [clears throat] So, I've seen the studies. I've read the reports. Uh Redmonds does have a tiny tiny amount of arsenic like in parts per billion. All >> it's it's the the one the article was about arsenic. Yeah. So all salt that's mined from under the ground is going to have some tiny tiny amount of of either fluoride or lithium or cadmium or some heavy metal. That's just normal. Our body has been eating that salt for thousands of years. This is not a problem. Redmonds doesn't add arsenic to their salt. That's how it comes with that. And probably comes with some other stuff, too. If you start looking at parts per trillion, but this is in no way dangerous, no way, in no way bad. Any Himalayan pink salt, if you did a chemical analysis, it's going to have some heavy metals. That's just how salt is formed. Now, if you get salt that's from the evaporated modern ocean, that's going to be full of microlastics and nanoplastics. I would not recommend that at all. I would recommend that you eat a salt mine from deep under the ground just exactly like Redmond's real salt. That's what we use in our house and I've read all the studies and I still give it to my little three-year-old daughter and my six-year-old son. So that ought to tell you how how comfortable I am with Redmond's real salt being safe. Now the but this this brings a a bigger question. Abinder someone on YouTube said and that's the problem is everybody can start a YouTube channel and say whatever the heck they want to say and if you if you don't know better you're like well he I guess that's true but that person is not necessarily a doctor who's been taking care of patients for 22 years and studying nutrition for 10 years. Okay, that's probably not a doctor who used to be severely obese and used to be pre-diabetic and probably used to have fatty liver, but I never thought to check it and reversed all that by following the simple steps that I'm telling you here tonight. That's the problem with YouTube and that's the problem with social media. And that's why I I say to y'all, if you're sick and tired of of the rigomearroll, the runaround, the back and forth, like this one said this and that one said that, and you're like, I'm done with this. This is foolish. I just want to join a community where I can get the the what's going to work with no other opinions coming in to confuse me. That's what the PhD community is. And then you get all of your health and nutrition advice from there. And you don't have to worry about what so- and so said on the internet. We got two levels. We got the base level and we got the plus level. The base level, you get three extra hours of asking me questions. three hours of webinars each and every week. You can ask me as many questions as you want to and you get access to a community of thousands of people who are dead serious about living life about it reversing chronic disease. You get to be a part of that community. It's a private community. Can't just anybody get in there. If you join the plus level, you get everything that's in the base level, but you also get access to Dr. Barry AI. Now, AI is very popular right now. And if you ask the average AI a question, you don't know what it was trained on. You're liable to get some foolish answer like, "Oh, bacon will cause cancer and and red meat will will cause heart disease." Or the latest bologoney out there is that eating too much red meat will cause diabetes. Just just shoot me. No. If you're in our PhD community, you've got access to Dr. Berry AI which is trained on every single one of my YouTube videos. It'll be watching this video later and then this will all be part of it. Thousands and thousands of hours of me on YouTube interviews. It's been trained on my three books, Lies My Doctor Told Me, Common Sense Labs, and Kicking Ass. And when uh In Search of a Proper Human Diet is done, it'll be trained on that as well. So when you ask it a question, it's going to answer it exactly like I would answer it. No foolishness like, well, he said, she said. So if you're ready to quit fooling around with YouTube influencers and join a group of people who are dead serious about regaining their health, there's a link in the show notes, you can also just go to where is it at? Nisha put it on here for me right here. phdalth. Community, not.com, phdalth. Community. Type all that into a to a a browser and it'll pop right up. You can choose between the base or the plus. The plus also has a micro counter. It's got free meal plans. And if at 3:30 in the morning, you're like, I've got a question, but Dr. Barry's not live, you can ask Dr. Berry AI at 3:30 a.m. while you should be asleep, you can ask me a question and it'll answer you just like I would answer you. Pretty cool, right? All right, let's go back and get a few more questions. Here's James. How does the ground up lamb compared to hamburger in taste? Is there enough fat in it? So, if the if the sheep are raised properly, it it's very fatty. And I actually like ground mutton or ground lamb better than ground beef. What I really love to do is to mix a pound of ground lamb and a pound of ground beef. And now let me let me just hold on y'all. When I say lamb, I'm not talking about a little tiny lamb. Any lamb chops or any lamb you buy in the store, that lamb was at least a year old. They're not killing little baby lambs. It's not how it works, okay? It's just a word. I prefer the word mutton because most people don't know what it means. They have to look it up. Then it's an adult sheep that lived its life. Okay. Put a pound of ground mutton, a pound of ground beef, and then a half pound of ground chicken liver or beef liver and mix all that together. It's the best best hamburger you've ever had. It's a nutrient-dense superfood. It has zero carbohydrate in any meaningful way. Yeah, it's delicious. So, so good. Oh, yeah. Okay. Here's a question about kidneys from Emily. Please tell me I'm helping my chronic kidney disease with carnivore. Yeah, you're not hurting your kidneys at all. Your kidneys are made of protein. Your kidneys need you to eat protein. Meat is good for your kidneys. The thing that's going to destroy the rest of your remaining kidney function is eating too many eating or drinking too much sugar. That's what's going to destroy the rest of your kidney function. Keto, keto, carnivore are all great dietary interventions for CKD. Absolutely. All right, let's see. Let me go back over here and grab another question. This is Michelle. Almost uh two-year carnivore. Had COVID for two weeks. Only wanted toast and butter. Having a hard time getting back on carnivore help. So, anytime you're sick, your cortisol rises. And if you have any previous addictions and people, former smokers and also former alcoholics will tell you the same thing. If they get sick, if they get under a lot of stress, which it's being sick with COVID is a stressor to your body. It can be physical stress, infectious, emotional, psycho, psychiatric, any kind of stress is going to raise your cortisol. And any previous addiction you had, including sugar addiction, is going to come back. Okay? Toast is just sugar. Toast breaks down into starch, which is breaks down into sugar. It's pure sugar. That's exactly why that's happening. You keep trying in another week or two, you'll be right back on carnivore and rocking and rolling. Yeah. Here's another uh Sherry says, "I have a friend who has stage three kidney disease and they have him believing he shouldn't eat meat at all." This is this is malpractice because if he doesn't eat any meat, what's he going to eat instead? That's the that's the thing. Doctors don't think this through. They're like, "Oh, meat's just uniquely bad for your kidneys somehow magically. Therefore, don't eat any meat." Well, what are they going to eat? They're going to eat a lot of carbs. That's that's all that's left, right? They're going to eat carbs and vegetable seed oils and that's going to destroy the rest of their kidney function. We've seen in in our PhD community, we've had people with stage three chronic kidney disease reverse it back to stage one by eating a proper human diet. That's that's why being part of the community is so helpful is because you'll have you'll you'll say this in the main chat in the community and you'll have 20 people jump in and say, "Oh, Sherry, honey, no. They told me that same thing. I had stage three. I had stage two. Two, 3B, 3A. I had stage four. And I I ignored them. And I kept eating lots of of meat and lots of eggs and lots of fish. And now my previously stage 3B CKD is now back to stage one. A lot of stage two chronic kidney disease goes back completely to normal. It's happened hundreds of times in our group. And we're happy to help you. If you want to become a member, we'll help you understand how to do it. Yeah, Sonic knows the truth. PhD rocks, my friend. And and even though he's got a chicken in his profile picture. So, here's Robin looking for a source of fish to include. So, I tend to focus on eating small fish. We have lots of rivers and lakes around here, and I'll eat lots of creek fish and lake fish. Uh, the Tennessee River is a little too dirty to eat fish out of. I'm I'm hoping to work in the future on getting it cleaned up a little more so you can eat the fish out of there again. But there are many ocean fish that are perfectly safe to eat. Um, I think that canned sard sardines, canned tuna, canned salmon, canned mackerel, these are all superfoods. There's nothing wrong with them at all. Okay? You can include those. Uh, watch out for farmed fish because a lot of it's raised in China. And guess what? The Chinese don't really care if you're healthy or not. They just want your money. Esther says, "Is your book Kicking Ass only for men?" No, it's it's written to men, but every single thing that we say in that book also applies for women as well with regards to the to nutrition, to the exercise, to the lifestyle. Actually, it's a great book for a couple, a husband and wife who are 50, 60, 70 to buy that book and go through it together and do it together. Um, then you'll understand what kicking ass after 50 actually means if you both do it together. Michael says, "Is a carnivore diet bad for stomach ulcers?" Absolutely not. Meat is the gentlest thing on your digestive system. A lot of people think it's it's the brat diet, bananas, rice, applesauce, toast. No, those are actually quite rough on your on your stomach. Uh, meat and eggs are the gentlest foods you can eat. They are absorbed completely, broken down and absorbed completely. They never make it to the last part of your small intestine, much less to your large intestine or colon. They don't make it there. They're already absorbed and gone. Fiber, however, makes it all the way to your colon because your body doesn't want it. Doesn't need it. Can't digest it. So it just sends it to the poop chute and for many people it irritates their colon here. Look at Valerie. Valerie says, "PHD baby reversed my type two and lost over and 50 pounds." Now if you want to know what a PhD is, a proper human diet, you can get a free proper human diet guide book. If you're watching this on YouTube, there's a link in the show notes.
