Lies My Doctor Told Me – KETO-MOJO Book Review: Lies My Doctor Told Me – KETO-MOJO

Dr. Berry's information is MOST DEFINITELY important! I am relatively new to the Ketogenic lifestyle. My progression through diet awareness followed a similar path to Dr. Berry's--first Paleo/Primal which I discovered about 6 years ago, then to low-carb Paleo/Primal (following Dr. William Davis's 'Wheat Belly' plan) which had me drop 35 lbs and got me off my diabetes and heart meds. Then I was inspired by another practicing physician, Dr. Annette Bosworth, to stop flirting with Keto and have a committed relationship with it. This was about 2 months ago and I've never felt better! Ah, I can't even respond here as I think he wants so badly validate his new found love affair with keto, that he'll go anywhere his new love takes him. I think there is a lot of science that would refute this whole section. Period.Nutritional therapy is often overlooked in medical school, and the information provided to physicians is often outdated. Advice to avoid healthy fats and stay out of the sun has been proven to be detrimental to longevity and wreak havoc on your system, and yet many doctors still regularly espouse this "wisdom." What kind of advice is your doctor giving you? Is it possible you're being misled? Honestly, in one sense he's right. The USDA dietary guidelines are the culmination of input from scientists around the world that ultimately gets watered down by special interest groups like the Dairy Council and the Pharmaceutical Industry, etc. because not only does the government have a responsibility to protect the interests of individual citizens, it also has the responsibility to protect and promote American industry. So is it any surprise that the guidelines don't necessarily represent the best science we have? I have a client right now who fits the hypothyroidism profile. She is overweight and can not lose weight despite following a healthy diet. Her blood tests are normal but on the outer ranges with a high TSH and a low T4. She also has mildly elevated fasting blood sugar at 100. She also complains of feeling tired all the time...and she's in her 40s. I suspect that her thyroid is petering out...or that she has Hashimotos. Of course, because her labs are technically normal her doctor says she is fine. Which would not be so bad, if her doctor were doing additional testing to determine the cause of her symptoms. Berry’s Advice: Don’t give cholesterol a second thought. Eat as your ancestors would have thousands of years ago and let your body take care of the rest.

Lies My Doctor Told Me: Medical Myths That Can Harm Your Lies My Doctor Told Me: Medical Myths That Can Harm Your

This is a very straightforward little book, focused on exploding common and dangerous medical myths. And there are a lot of them. What if your doctor’s medical advice is all wrong? What if there was no scientific evidence for their recommendations about your diet, lifestyle choices, or prescription medications? Would you know enough to advocate for your own health? I tend to agree with him. Unfortunately, I think the initial concerns regarding salt intake was more directed toward those who already had high blood pressure. At some point, the recommendation got taken out of context and ultimately bastardized. Anyone who has been in the nutrition field for any significant period of time understands it is always good to be skeptical when some new "super vitamin" comes out. In the '80s it was the antioxidants Vitamin A, C and E. In the '90s it was fish oil. Come 2000 it was vitamin D. Does your doctor still recommend that you avoid cholesterol and eat lots of whole-grains? What about a paleo diet or ketogenic diet, have they been mentioned in an office visit? So much of the nutrition and lifestyle advice doctors give is just plain wrong, and that can be dangerous. This book will help you sort through the medical myths and the outright lies, and begin to develop a health partnership with your doctor.In some respects, he's probably right. But I also don't think it was part of some conspiracy. I just don't think we realized that there was a negative side to taking antibiotics, and now that we do, most doctors are responding appropriately. While I don’t have a study to repudiate the claim that Grains are more fattening- I will use simple logic on Dr. Berry’s argument which is “If meat was more fattening than grains, farmers would use it to fatten up their cows instead of corn.” This one is just silly... The Truth: Research studies uniformly show that exercise is a very poor method of weight loss. Exercise is wonderful for your mind, body and spirit in hundreds of ways. It will make you healthier and happier, but it will not help you lose weight. The findings: After studying mortality over a 20-year period, researchers led by Professor Kausik Ray at Imperial College London showed that 40mg daily of pravastatin, a relatively weak type of statin, reduced deaths from heart disease in participants by more than a quarter. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases...

He starts with the easy ones that have already been debunked: Dietary Cholesterol doesn't raise your cholesterol (eg: eggs are safe.); the Food Pyramid and plate recommendations were influenced by lobbyists and do not reflect science as much as they do political culture; the repeated lowering of "what is high cholesterol" appears to be a movement to get everyone a lifetime prescription to cholesterol drugs and not really be linked to science; and Vitamin D supplements are needed if you live in Northern countries and don't eat enough meat and fat in your diet to process your own vitamin D. What a book, this book has changed my perception on my own health and lifestyle in a big time! Also I’m ready to challenge my GP on many things or else, I’ll be shopping for a new one!

This book is an eye opener. Dr. Berry is friendly and highly knowledgeable. While reading it feels as if a friend is talking to you. The author is a doctor who woke up one day to take action to provide better remedy to his patients instead of blindly following the bidding of capitalist, profit-making interests of the big pharmaceutical industries and government food and drug regulatory bodies. He decided to educate himself by reading books and scrutinise medical research papers, discovering how poorly-designed research methods became unquestionable truths for decades at the expense of the public's health.
