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 Nutritional therapy is often overlooked in medical school, and the information provided to physicians is often outdated.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.

If you read just ONE health book make it this one!

Wow, being a book worm I read every book on health and nutrition that comes out. And I must say, this book is a GAME CHANGER, everyone needs to read this book!

Every teacher and parent needs to equipped the future generations in a way they can succeed. And the two pillars everyone should know to live well is health and finance.

This book sums up just how far the medical industry has slipped, focused on profits and not on healing.

I lost faith in doctors years ago, but have hope that with books like this out there, the future can be different.

SO JUST READ IT ALREADY!

Very informative and entertaining

The only thing missing is that the author should have been the one to narrate this book.

Very Enlightening.

I had seen many of Dr. Berry’s YouTube videos prior to buying the book and was worried that it might just be the same topics contained on the channel but maybe with a little bit more detail. Boy was I wrong! While there were some things I had heard in previous videos the vast majority of the information was either new to me or offered clarity on subjects I didn’t understand as well. Would definitely recommend this book, especially to those who are health conscious.

To my new Favorite Doctor in the World!!!

I loved it !!! Your book woke me up big time to what my heart and mind always told me was right. instincts are what serve us best. you truly took away my worry about what is right. I believe what you teach will question our world we live in and make people really see that we are our own best Doctors. if it doesn't sound right, it probably isn't. I always knew to question everything and that our sun is our friend and nature will help us live a perfect life. Your are now my friend and I know a follower of a higher power. Now you and Dr. Day are my Heros. May God Bless you and your family. you should get a medal and be proud. you are the worlds Doctor and the funniest one too. A Veteran and forever friend, Julie

In my Top five Nutrition/health books (so far)

Dr. Berry does an amazing job synthesizing what needs to be known about nutrition (and health in general). He describes the information that most doctors don't know/don't care to know and everyone needs to know. God bless you Doc

Weak Narrator

Love the book but the narrator was lacking... I wish Dr. Berry would have narrated it himself.

Illiterate Narrator

I’m a non-native, but I do know that indictment has no dick in it. Narrators should prep better.

Extremely informative!

I read the Kindle version several months ago and it’s already improved my health. I was excited for a refresher with this audible version.
If you’re not familiar with Dr.Berry from his fantastic YouTube videos you won’t care that the narrator sounds a bit robotic and lacks the personality & charisma of Dr. Berry.
The content is fantastic! Sometimes I was very pissed off reading how decades of bad advice has evolved in the medical community and has personally affected me and my family.
Hopefully Dr.Berry’s next book will be narrated by him...

Bias much!?

While the book is full of interesting information it’s nothing you haven’t seen on some post on Instagram. The author is also extremely bias to certain methodologies (paleo/Keto) while dismissing even bashing others. Save your credit for another book, I wish I would have.

Can’t listen to the narrator!

Love Dr Berry and the hard copy of this book. But the narrator of the audible book is horrible and I can’t take listening to him. 😖 He sounds robotic. I wish Dr Berry had narrated his own book. I’m going to return this version and hope for a new narrator in the future. 🤞

Excellent Book

Awesome Read. Great information in easy language. Every medical professional person should read and question their own understanding of the things they practice. Dr. Berry does an amazing job uncovering some REAL truths in order to really help not only himself but his patients and thousands of others who blindly believed "doctors knew all". They don't and this book helps shine some truths on a few of those areas that more science and research should been taught in medical schools.

I love Dr. Ken Berry!

I’ve listened to Ken Berry on several podcasts, which is how I found out about his book. I enjoyed this book’s content, humor, and simplified debunking of common medical myths. However, I wish Dr. Berry had read it himself. My only criticism is that the monotone voice used took away from the listening experience. However, I’d still recommend this book to everyone I care about.
