His knees ached and he was on the path to developing metabolic syndrome, the very condition this “evidence-based” diet was supposed to prevent.

Motivated to reclaim his health, two years ago Dr. Berry flipped the scripts and ate the opposite of how his medical colleagues suggested: low-carb, high fat and protein.

His health, and life, has improved dramatically.
