hi I'm dr. ken berry a family physician
and in this short video let's talk about
the rosacea diet and how to reverse the
redness associated with rosacea the
redness the scaling the blood vessels
are embarrassing over 400 million people
on the planet suffer from rosacea and I
have a secret to tell you later in this
video that you might not believe what if
I told you that the cause of your
rosacea is not some of the triggers
you've been told about but it's actually
your diet it's what you've been eating
and it's what you've not been eating
that's what's causing your rosacea
that's what this video is all about now
if you know someone suffering from
rosacea please take a second and share
this video with them so that they will
know there is hope and there is a
solution now definitely there is a pre a
genetic predisposition to develop
rosacea there's no doubt about that but
a genetic predisposition does not curse
you - rosacea it does not doom you or
guarantee that you ever have to suffer
from the symptoms of rosacea you can
make changes today that will absolutely
reverse the rosacea that you already
have or if you're very early on in the
process and you're just starting to have
the flushing if you're a teenager or
20-something and you're just starting to
flush and along your cheeks and nose you
can stop this from progressing right now
the average doctor will tell you that
rosacea is a chronic progressive
inflammatory disease with autoimmune
features and that we don't really know
what causes it anytime a doctor tells
you that about a condition you can
guarantee it's caused by your diet
either by things you are eating or by
things that you haven't been eating the
triggers that you've heard about or read
about or your doctor told you about hot
weather cold weather sweating exercise
hot liquids stress spicy foods these
things do not call
rosacea but if your skin is already
inflamed and your immune system is
already confused they can cause rosacea
flare-ups but when you fix your diet
that will stop happening now let me
share with you a little secret about
myself I have rosacea or at least I used
to and you may not believe this look
closely
several years ago before I had
discovered these dietary changes I had
to use Metro gel every single day on my
face and then once or twice a week I'd
have to use a strong steroidal cream on
my face just to keep the redness and the
scaling at bay I no longer have to do
that and I haven't had to do that for
years now because I fixed my diet I
stopped eating what mainstream media
tells us we should eat and I started
eating the proper human diet so how did
I change my diet what did i do
differently what did I and what did I
add to my diet I started eating a fatty
meat heavy ketogenic diets and then for
the last few months I've been almost
exclusively eating a fatty meat
carnivore diet now I know that may sound
freaky from the advice you've gotten
from your doctor your nutritionist from
that magazine article or newspaper
article but I'm telling you this is the
proper human diet and this is how it
helps rosacea rosacea is very very
highly associated with metabolic
syndrome which is a syndrome that
consists of several signs including high
triglycerides high blood sugar high
blood pressure having a fat belly and
other things this is caused by eating
too many carbohydrates causing your
blood sugar to be too high crawls it
causing your insulin level to be
chronically too high it's also when you
eat this kind of processed diet it's a
very inflammatory diet so I removed all
the sugars from my diet whether natural
sugar or added sugar that reversed my
metabolic syndrome which I used to have
it also improved my
rosacea I removed all of the grains from
my diet I removed wheat rice oats corn
amaranth millet quinoa all these things
have inflammatory proteins in them to
protect the seed from being eaten but
when we eat those it causes inflammation
sometimes it causes inflammation in the
gut like irritable bowel and again
rosacea is highly associated with
irritable bowel symptoms and so in other
words if you have metabolic syndrome
you're much more likely to have rosacea
if you have irritable bowel syndrome all
sort of colitis Crohn's any of these
things then you're much more likely to
have rosacea and that's because not
because one causes the other
but because the inappropriate diet that
you're eating that caused one also
caused the other so I removed all sugars
from my diet I've removed all grains
from my diet I also removed all
industrial vegetable oils from my diet
including canola sunflower safflower soy
bean peanut corn oil shortening
margarine all of these things have a
very inflammatory omega-6 to omega-3
ratio that causes inflammation in your
gut in your body in your skin leading to
the same chronic inflammation condition
with autoimmune features sound familiar
several studies show that increasing
your omega-3 intake and increasing your
zinc intake can improve rosacea symptoms
well guess what a fatty meat heavy
ketogenic diet or a carnivore diet is
very very rich in omega-3 fatty acids
and zinc and so when I have removed all
of the metabolic syndrome causing things
which is basically carbohydrates and
also removed all the inflammatory things
in the vegetable seed oils and the other
things and I added in lots of omega-3
fatty acids and zinc from eating the
fatty meat my rosacea is virtually gone
and I look in the mirror sometimes and
I'm
the way that it's just not there anymore
but even as a doctor back in two
thousand one two and three if you'd
asked me hey Doc do you ever think
you'll be able to get rid of your
rosacea I would have said no that's
impossible
I'm just genetically doomed I have this
rosacea it wasn't true for me and it's
also not true for you I have an entire
playlist on this YouTube channel that

the gels and the creams and the lotions
because you won't need those anymore

their rosacea with a ketogenic diet or a
carnivore diet I need you to do me a
