This is Everyday Wellness, a podcast dedicated to helping you achieve your health and wellness goals and provide practical strategies that you can use in your real life.

And now, here is your host, Nurse Practition practitioner Cynthia Thurlow.

This afternoon, I am so excited to have Dr. Ken Berry,

he's a practicing board certified physician and

Amazon best-selling author and a passionate advocate of health on his YouTube

channel where he has over 1 million subscribers.

Along with his online presence,

he is active in his own community of Camden,

Tennessee where he's been practicing

at the Berry Clinic since 2003.

He is known for his direct, no nonsense approach to health and wellness, which I love.

He actually has his best selling book is coming out in a second edition,

Lies My Doctor told me, which is excellent.

He's also in the process of writing a second book called

common sense keto for type 2 diabetics. He looks forward to working with the real people of the world and continuing

his mission to bring an end to the obesity and type 2 diabetes epidemics,

along with bringing awareness to such issues as thyroid health and hormone

optimization. Welcome. Thank you so much. I've really been looking forward to this conversation, you know, largely because, you know, much like you have, we're trained as traditional Western medicine, you know, physician, nurse practitioner, and I know for myself I really got tired of

writing prescriptions and a lot of our focus is on prescriptions as being the only way to address symptoms and yet we recognize you

and I and a whole tribe of individuals that that couldn't be farther from the truth.

There's so much more work that we can be doing but I find that the

story behind the individual that I'm interviewing is really really interesting
