Episode Details

Can ketogenic therapy challenge mainstream thinking on cholesterol, diabetes, and evidence-based medicine? At the CoSci conference, Dr. Ken Berry shares his reaction to The Cholesterol Code documentary and explains why more clinicians are questioning long-standing assumptions about metabolic health, LDL cholesterol, and the treatment of chronic disease.

In this conversation, Dr. Berry discusses the growing tension between clinical guidelines, pharmaceutical influence, and real-world patient outcomes, while making the case for curiosity, individualized care, and the power of “citizen science” in medicine.

In this episode, we cover:

• Dr. Ken Berry’s reaction to The Cholesterol Code documentary
• Why ketogenic therapy challenges conventional risk-benefit analysis
• The role of anecdotal evidence and N=1 experimentation
• Pharmaceutical influence on clinical guidelines
• Why many diabetes patients feel stuck despite following standard advice
• The launch of the American Diabetes Society
• Type 2 diabetes remission and low-carbohydrate nutrition
• Why doctors need to stay curious and continue learning

One of the biggest themes throughout this conversation is that medicine works best when clinicians and patients stay open-minded, ask better questions, and focus on addressing root causes as opposed to just managing symptoms or lab numbers.
