In this conversation I sat down with Dr. Ken Berry and we didn’t do the fluffy, “everything in moderation” version of carnivore. We went straight into the stuff people argue about nonstop: processed meats, dairy, coffee, diet drinks, and why so many folks stall even when they swear they’re doing everything right. Dr. Berry shared his own journey through medical school and family medicine, then hitting a wall with obesity and pre-diabetes, and finally realizing the standard advice just wasn’t matching real-world outcomes. We also talked about the bigger picture—how modern guidelines get shaped by food and pharma, and why obesity, diabetes, and metabolic disease are usually not some unavoidable genetic destiny. Dr. Berry laid out what he calls a “proper human diet” approach: start with biology, not marketing, and then use accountability and community to actually stick with it long enough to see results. We got into why some people do better with raw dairy than conventional, how GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic work (and why you need to be cautious), and what to consider if your blood pressure is still high despite cleaning up your diet. If you want the hard truth version of carnivore weight loss—this is the episode.
