    Be wary of someone who spends most of his time hawking specific products and supplements. Gundry is the king of pop up ads on the internet.
  • @jimmorrison2124
    Spent my entire life on the "Government approved" low fat, low sodium diet, excercised, etc. STILL had a heart attack! I've gone Keto since and have NEVER felt better. I'm angry that I've been lied to for profit my entire life.
  • @lisafaser6031
    “I respectfully disagree with that”, says Dr. Westman. That is why you are one of the classiest doctors out there. Thanks for attacking issues and not people, Dr. Westman.❤️🙏🏻❤️
  • I started a strict carnivore diet on August 7th 2023 and I lost 71 pounds in just over 128 days, eating one meal a day of beef and butter. I only drank water, nothing else! No caffine, no pop, no coffee, no tea, no energy drinks, no alcohol, nothing! I'm no longer pre-diabetic, no longer have high blood pressure, no longer morbidly obese, no longer have carpal tunnel syndrome, no more sleep apnea, no longer have acid reflux and I feel like I'm in my 20's again! After about 2 weeks, my carb/sugar cravings disappeared! Zero cheating! The most eye opening change was that I actually crave meat and nothing else! Carnivore 4 life baby!❤
  • @clark3830
    As a physician of almost 40 years, I do not like Dr. Gundry at all. He is a salesman and full of compost.
  • @erichorton1440
    I suffered from man boobs and love handles for 15 years. I'm 34. I tried vegan, raw vegan, and vegetarian. All it did was make me skinny fat with tits and love handles. I switched to the carnivore diet and lost 40 pounds in 3 months. I lost my man boobs and love handles. I maintained all my muscle, maybe even gained muscle. I did no exercise. Just ate butter, meat, eggs, a little cheese, and olive oil. That's it.
  • @tanyasydney2235
    Dr Westman, you are so polite and gracious in your peer reviews. It's all too rare and very refreshing.
  • @ErikaWithAK380
    Carnivore Diet is the only thing that helped me get out of 10 months of agony after many doctors and specialists couldn't tell me what was going wrong with my body.
  • On carnivore diet In 14 months I’m completely healed of Severe chronic migraines and fatigue I was almost 2 years bedbound and only 49 I have more energy than I did when I was in my 20s and no more medicine no more pain no more migraines I’m Back at work ❤
  • @pixellightmedia
    I started carnivore 11 months ago to try and improve my health. My ulcerative colitis/IBS gone after 20 years. Chronic headaches gone, joint pain gone, gaining muscle. I'm 57 and in the best shape of my life.
  • @Tonihaddock
    I’m so glad that you speak softly, so much easier on the nerves. Thank you.
  • @erichfeit7779
    After all is said and done "Carnivore is King!!" I'm starting Carnivore on Monday!! Erich from New Zealand!!
  • @steveneely6475
    When I’ve tried to listen to Gundry in the past I just get the feeling he’s talking down to me. He talks slow to the point I interpret what he’s thinking as “if I talk slow enough these little people will understand me better. I really like Dr. Westman’s manner and common sense.
  • @Damcarnivore
    The shocking truth, it is thanks to Dr Gundry that I eventually switched to a carnivore lifestyle
  • @rhondaweaver4486
    I do Keto, low carb, notf carnivore, but I listen to Dr. Berry. I just get so sick of meat and can't do it all the time. I know you know him and I would love to see what he thinks. Thank you for your videos! I'm pretty darn confused by all the different opinions.
  • @stevenjames7667
    Being a Carnivore has literally saved our lives. And nobody and I mean nobody can convince me of anything less. Steven James and Glenda Ellison
  • @dogphlap6749
    Thank you Dr Westman for taking a stand against this series of unwarranted assumptions and falsehoods.
  • @my-yt-inputs2580
    I appreciate Dr Westman discussing the carnivore diet quite a bit lately.
  • Judging from Dr. Gundry’s waistline, it would appear he follows his own advice. After learning about you and “page 4,” I went keto and lost over 100 lbs., without exercise, in a year, got off four medications and feel the best I ever have. I’m so convinced by what I have learned from you and others that I am on the precipice of full on carnivore and am excited about my future because of this awakening. We have been lied to our entire lives so people could make money and wrest power from us. Thank you, Dr. Westman, for helping us see through the facade, and thank you for getting me started on this path.
  • My daughter was also on the meat based formula, in 1960 at the air force base in Denver CO. She could not process the regular formula and was vomiting everything and severely constipated, very pale, and in terrible pain until the Doctor on Base gave her the meat based formula. It was miraculous! In a short time she was no longer in pain, constipated, pale or vomiting!
