Publisher's Summary

Has your doctor lied to you?

Eat low-fat and high-carb, including plenty of “healthy” whole grains - does that sound familiar? Perhaps, this is what you were told at your last doctor’s appointment or visit with a nutritionist, or perhaps, it is something you read online when searching for a healthy diet. And maybe, you’ve been misled. Dr. Ken Berry is here to dispel the myths and misinformation that have been perpetuated by the medical and food industries for decades.

This updated and expanded edition of Dr. Berry’s best seller Lies My Doctor Told Me exposes the truth behind all kinds of “lies” told by well-meaning but misinformed medical practitioners. Nutritional therapy is often overlooked in medical school, and the information provided to physicians is often outdated. However, the negative consequences on your health remain the same. Advice to avoid healthy fats and stay out of the sun has been proven to be detrimental to longevity and can wreak havoc on your system. 

In this audiobook, Dr. Berry will enlighten you about nutrition and life choices, their role in our health, and how to begin an educated conversation with your doctor about finding the right path for you.

This book will teach you:
 

  • Facts doctors are taught to think about nutrition and other preventative health measures and how they should be thinking
  • Story of how the food pyramid and MyPlate came into existence and why they should change
  • Facts about fat intake and heart health
  • Truth about the effects of whole wheat on the human body
  • Role of dairy in your diet
  • Truth about salt - friend or foe?
  • Dangers and benefits of hormone therapy
  • New information about inflammation and how it should be viewed by doctors

Come out of the darkness and let Ken Berry be your guide to optimal health and harmony!

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

A well presented exposé

Whilst mostly affirming knowledge I’ve acquired over the last few years simply by giving some new insights, this book is a well constructed, researched and presented low-down on how those on the ‘Western Diet’ got to suffer chronic, non communicable ‘Western Diseases’ and what to do about it.
The book suggestions are also spot-on. I loaded up at least 4 of them.
I thoroughly enjoyed every minute.

Great book - Very eye opening

It's amazing some of the continued non-truths we have, and continue to be told, about our health and wellbeing. I think we know about 10% of the full amount of knowledge we can know about nutrition and the human body, but $$ are stopping the world from acknowledging the mistakes of the past and moving forward.

My only suggesting is to label the chapters in Audible, as these don't align with the book chapters and becomes confusing. Plus, I want to go back and revisit certain chapters relevant to me and read them again, so it would be easier to see exactly what chapter I'm clicking on.

Excellent advice

It's about time that patients health and good advice was more important to doctors than old school doctrine and old boy's club "you will respect my authoritahhh" behaviour like Ancel Keys' that got us in the current state of crisis.

Truth telling

Loved this book calling out so many things that the medical profession and others, repeat verbatim without every checking facts. It makes you look harder at your own confirmation bias.

Priceless and informative

I wish I’d learned this years ago.
When you think about it the lies we are told make no sense. Our ancestors would never have survived or thrived if the lies were true. Yet our ancestors did live - many without penicillin!
Very happy to follow this advice (except in relation to milk - I’ll keep drinking it - unprocessed - because I’m one of the lucky ones who can).
Shocked by some of the lies which are so pervasive.
