Dr Ken Berry | The Best Ways to Reduce Inflammation In Your Body KKP:261

Today, I am blessed to have here with me for a THIRD time, a Family Physician, Speaker, and Author, Ken D Berry, MD. Dr. Berry was born in Linden, Tennessee, and grew up in the very small Southern town of Hohenwald, Tennessee. He received a Bachelor of Science degree, with honors, in Animal Biology and Psychology, from Middle Tennessee State University, in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, in 1996. He received his MD from the University of Tennessee Health Science Center, in Memphis, Tennessee, in 2000. Dr. Berry has been practicing Family Medicine in rural Tennessee for over a decade. He is board-certified in Family Medicine, and has been awarded the degree of Fellow, by the American Academy of Family Physicians. Having seen over 20,000 patients during his career of all ages, he is uniquely qualified to write on both acute and chronic diseases. More and more, Dr. Berry has focused on the chronic diseases caused by the Standard American Diet and Lifestyle, and has made it his mission to turn the tide on the epidemic of Type 2 Diabetes, chronic inflammation, and dementia. Dr. Berry has four children, 3 dogs, 2 cats and 7 peacocks. He, and his beautiful wife Neisha, live on their farm in Holladay, TN. In this episode, Dr. Berry dives into the causes of chronic, inappropriate inflammation. He tells us about the difference between acute inflammation and chronic inflammation, why dairy can be the root of your inflammation issues, and he even shares another inflammatory food that might surprise you! Dr. Berry also goes into the carnivore diet and what lab markers are important for inflammation. Lastly, Dr. Berry answers questions from the Keto Kamp listeners and tells us about his upcoming projects!

Chronic Inflammation First off, there are good and useful inflammations. Acute inflammation is where you get injured from a sprained ankle, for example, the swelling there is good; it's the first step in healing. Acute inflammation is not what we are talking about today. The enemy; is chronic, inappropriate inflammation. This inflammation is almost always caused by something in your environment getting into your body. It can be caused by something you eat, drink, or chemicals and toxins that you are exposed to in your environment. This leads to chronic inflammation in your body while it is trying to cope with the everyday insult of the toxins. [09:50] Metabolic Health: Inflammation, Obesity, And The Concerns Around Dairy Products Up until about year five, children drink milk regularly and are able to process it well. However, around the age of five, our biochemical machinery starts to shut off the ability to break down lactose. In fact, at least two-thirds of adults are lactose intolerant. This means for most adults, the bovine proteins and amino acids in dairy are inflammatory. As for cheese, some are better than others when it comes to inflammation. Berry explains that the further the cheese has been removed from liquid milk, the less inflammatory in most cases. For example, hard cheeses like parmesan have been fermented for a long time and will cause the least amount of inflammation. A dairy-free month is great to determine if your issues, such as chronic inflammation, gut issues, and trouble losing weight, come from your intake of dairy products. [18:30] Shocking! Another Inflammatory Food That May Surprise You A food that many people think is healthy, but is surprisingly inflammatory, is nuts. Even though nuts are looked at as a healthy snack, they are actually very carb-heavy and can slow down your weight loss. Cutting nuts out of your diet may seem restrictive, but not meeting your goals and being able to do whatever you want to in a day physically is really what is restrictive. A good way to eat nuts is occasionally, not every day. Eating them occasionally is probably fine because it mirrors our ancestors' behavior. [23:23] Why The Carnivore Diet Is Beneficial For Reducing Inflammation The carnivore diet, by definition, is the lowest carbohydrate diet you can eat. It is as close to zero carb as you can get. It also eliminates all the other foods that people could potentially be allergic to, such as the proteins in dairy or the phytochemicals in plants. Berry believes that meat and eggs are the least inflammatory foods on the planet, not including water. Meat is also the most nutrient-dense food on the planet, especially if you add organ meat to your diet. [31:28] Essential Lab Markers To Get When Assessing Your Inflammation For inflammation, good markers to get are CRP, whether it's high sensitivity or cardiac, sed rate and ESR are great. Another is homocysteine, as well as the ferritin level. Many people think ferritin is just a marker of iron deficiency, but it is way more than that. If a patient is over 35, these are all lab markers that should be checked to tell the doctor so much about their metabolic health. Without these labs, someone could be walking around with pre-diabetes, undiagnosed hyperinsulinemia, hypertriglyceridemia, etc. This is crucial information to determine their metabolic health. [36:48] Are Statins Always Necessary When Cholesterol is Elevated? If a patient has good levels otherwise, has never had a heart attack, and has a CAC score less than 1000, there is no research showing that they would benefit from taking a statin. If the patient has had a heart attack in the past or has a CAC above 1000, they may benefit from a low dose. Elevated cholesterol can become “background noise” or not a sense of concern if you have transformed your health overall. AND MUCH MORE!

Together, they dive into one of the most misunderstood topics in health: what really causes heart disease. And it’s probably not what you’ve been told. It’s not cholesterol — it’s insulin resistance.

Dr. Ovadia has lived it. He brings both personal and professional insight to the table, helping you learn how to spot metabolic issues early and take meaningful steps toward better health. If you’re ready to rethink everything you’ve been told about heart disease, this is an episode you won’t want to miss. 🔥 Topics Discussed: Root causes of heart disease, emphasizing insulin resistance over cholesterol. Misconceptions about cholesterol and its role in heart health. Importance of fasting insulin tests as a marker of metabolic health. Connection between insulin resistance, blood pressure, and vascular health. Discussion on dietary approaches, particularly the carnivore diet, for reversing insulin resistance. Examination of cholesterol markers and their context in relation to metabolic health. Critique of the reliance on statins and cholesterol management in heart disease treatment. Impact of lifestyle factors, including diet and exercise, on metabolic health. The role of processed sugars and vegetable oils in driving insulin resistance.
