Summary

On the Muscle Intelligence Podcast today, we are joined by Dr. Ken Berry! Dr. Berry is a practicing physician and staunch advocate for the keto diet, having had amazing results with his own health issues by making the switch. This approach naturally transferred to his patients who have also shown massive improvements with regards to obesity, energy levels, and insulin resistance. Dr. Berry tells us all about the lessons he has learned and how far he feels he has come in being an actual help to his patients. We discuss helpful resources, the carnivore diet and how different bodies require different things. As much as Dr. Berry likes to approach each case individually, he does highly recommend the keto diet for almost anyone, along with a general ancestral approach to health and physiology. We get into sun exposure, fasting, salt intake, and many more interesting and vital wellness topics. Our guest weighs in on the introduction of ketogenic diets for children, exercise and compares keto to a more traditional American diet model.

0:00.0	Hey there, ladies and gents, welcome back to the muscle intelligence podcast.
0:20.0	As always, I am Ben Pekleski hosting you with the greatest guests on the planet. That's my goal. I want to find people who are creating new paradigms, challenging their beliefs, and bringing us the best information that we can find. I do my best to not be dogmatic about anything.
