Hope for Alzheimer's & Parkinson's with Metabolic Neurology - Matthew Phillips, MD

I lost my dad to Alzheimer’s at 69. I started carnivore a year ago and what a difference. My physical and mental health have improved so much. I’m a 55 year old male. I’ll continue to eat this way. Miss you dad.

Dr. Berry has never seen me, he doesn’t even know I exist, but he has had a bigger impact on my health then any doctor I’ve met. He honours his Hippocratic oath every day.

I lost my mother an ER nurse to Parkinsons last year. She followed the low fat, high plant based diet for years, because that was what all the people around her "knew" was best. She even took Statins early becasue of high cholesterol and avoided eggs and butter. When she started getting acid reflux (probably due to H Pylori) she turned to Prilosec as soon as she could get an Rx. All of those things ruined her health, even though she worked in the ER until age 70, she spent much of that feeling aweful! The problem was that she had her whole family following her diet avoiding animal fats and eating more veggies than meat. I wish that I had known that she was so wrong 20 years ago, her last 20 years would have been so much better and so would mine. Clawing my way back to health with the PHD in the last 4 months. Thank you so much!!!

Thank God for Men like Dr. Berry and Dr. Phillips who are not afraid to swim against the torrent of conventionalism. Great interview!

Me, Pat Williamson frontal lobe dementia. Was a nurse, trauma, cardiac, taught education at the hospital, and taught at the college level nursing . Was crushed at the diagnoses! Also told I would not improve and the first 3 years were horrible then changed my diet mainly stopped sugar. Most people have no idea. I am very thankful of incredible improvement but also very aware of what I have lost . Hopefully there will be more improvement.

I lost my sister and brother to Alzheimer’s this year. He was 75 and she was 74. So tragic as they knew that this was their death sentence. My other sister died suddenly at 53 of a sudden cardiac event 15 years ago. I am the only one left. Thank God I found the PHD 3 years and am on a journey to better health. I am still very scared.

I’m proud to say the ongoing improvements of my slow-moving ALS ( MND ) clients is over 50% showing improvements in 90 days or less!! I’m a Health Coach. My group is REVERSING ALS / MND. My group is making ALS / Medical History! ( You are SPOT-ON!! )

I have early onset Huntingtons disease I one meal a day and some 72 hour fasts Last week I went to John’s Hopkins for my twice a year checkup and I improved on my cognitive testing You don’t improve with Huntingtons ! Thanks for getting the word out

My dad just turned to 77 and is what I call having moderate symptoms of Alzheimer’s and has been diagnosed. His sister is one year older than him and hasn’t known anyone for years and has been in a nursing home for years with Alzheimer’s or dementia. My dad‘s brother shot and killed himself 13 years ago at the age of 68 because he recognize he had beginning stages of Alzheimer’s, and had been taking care of my grandparents with Alzheimer’s for years and didn’t want his kids to have to take care of him. That is all on my dad side of the family. My grandmother on my mom side is almost 99 And is in perfect physical health and in her late 80’s began to have mild memory issues and now usually can’t even tell you her name. Her daughter, my mom died 3 years ago of an abdominal aortic aneurysm caused by lifestyle but was already beginning to have some memory issues. So having this very strongly on both sides of my family has really put some fear in me. I started with keto four years ago in an effort to prevent it, even if there is a small chance, it will prevent it.I added intermittent fasting to that about a year and a half ago. I can definitely tell that when I am in ketosis, my short-term memory improves quite significantly. I pray this will keep my kids from having to take care of me for years. We have longevity in our family and if I am not mentally well I don’t want to live that long.

I listen to keto type physicians every day and this is one of the best I’ve ever heard.

My 73 yo mom was diagnosed with "Parkinson's" like symptoms about 18 mo ago and I have watched her decline/deteriorate at a disturbing rate since that Dr said those words to her. 4mo ago I had to move her in with me. I'm about to start her on this keto diet since we've got nothing to lose right now as I'm also seeing cognitive decline, gut problems, arthritis, depression& anxiety, low kidney function..etc. These videos have given me hope that we're going to get her back on track..

As a former activities director, often working with dementia patients, I did things like create a "cafe" where music from their era was played, I had an apron and asked what they wanted from our menu. Within this context I was able to encourage conversation - play board games, dance -- before I started this the TV room was the only place they gathered...And I saw activity as both helpful for the individual and the staff (aides) that had to help them

I have had PD for 10 years. I'm 54. Dr Matthew Phillips needs to be funded for full study on dietary effects on neurological conditions.

My wife has dementia. It is advancing as time goes on. It is the most horrible thing I have ever dealt with in my life which includes war, death of loved ones, stage 4 cancer etc. When someone that you have loved dearly for 60 years disappears before your eyes and there is nothing you can do or help or fix or mitigate it is crushing to your soul.

Thanks Dr. Berry you gave me the reason for my leg cramps.... I Was diagnosed for PAD after your test you suggested on your video! My wife age 71 has Parkinson's with Psychosis, osteoporosis , spinosis, arthritis etc.. I have been telling her to go on Paleo then Keto. She finally agreed after seeing this video! I have been on Keto about 10 years; started under Dr. Westman. Lost 69 lbs. In 6 months. So thank you!! We hope to move to TN where we hope you will be our Doc..

My grandmother died in 2021 with alzheimers, Parkinson's, diabetes. For years, I tried to get her caregivers to stop feeding her processed junk. I even tried to get them to let her come live with me so I could take care of her. She was willing, happy even! But they acted like I was crazy and didn't let her go. I could have given her more and better years. How many more and how much better? I don't know, but I've seen such drastic changes in so many lives, including my own, that I know I could have helped. I'm a little bit bitter about it.

Thank you both! Watching from New Zealand. Hubby improving Parkinson’s symptoms on mix Keto/Carnivore 2 months so far.

Please bring Dr Phillips back for updates on the studies. Also to talk about any new studies and examples of people who have overcome their conditions using his methods. Great 👍 interview!

good to hear a GP (as we call 'em here in Australia) talk so frankly about the frustration of dealing with Neurologists in terms of improving outcomes in patient health, as a patient this has been my experience too. My heart goes out to people getting advice a bit on the late side, but every day the information is getting better thanks to the hard work of Matthew and others studying the 'why' of metabolic and mitochondrial health. Such a departure from specialisation which increasingly isolates systems and parts of the body from one another until you end up with someone who is basically clinically useless. Who takes their heart, liver or brain to a medical appointment and leaves the rest of their self, their genes, and their life history at home?

My 46 year old sister was just diagnosed with Early Onset Alzheimer's and I have shared multiple studies, videos, books, and other sources about why it is important to at least try a ketovre/Carnivore diet for 90 days, but they refuse and she continues to get worse. It blows my mind that people won't do whatever possible to save quality years of their life. I'll keep trying until she does it or until she passes.
