With over 1.6 million subscribers, Dr Ken D. Berry’s YouTube channel is one of the most viewed health channels on the internet. Also the bestselling author of Lies My Doctor Told Me: Medical Myths That Can Harm Your Health, the family physician and internet entrepreneur has made it his mission to wage war against the epidemics of Type 2 Diabetes, dementia and obesity through his videos, writing and speaking engagements. A keen proponent of ketogenic diets, the physicians own health dramatically improved when he embraced a ketogenic diet himself.
Berry was born and raised in the small town of Hohenwald, Tennessee, and earned his MD from the University of Tennessee Health Science Center in Memphis. After practising Family Medicine for over a decade in rural Tennessee, Berry has been awarded the degree of Fellow by the American Academy of Family Physicians and is board certified in Family Medicine.
Having seen more than 20,000 patients of all ages and backgrounds during his career, Berry began to focus on the chronic diseases caused by the Standard American Lifestyle and Diet one patient at a time before taking his battle to the next level through his YouTube channel and first book Lies My Doctor Told Me, which dispels misleading health advice and myths.
Berry‘s popularity lies in his ability to help his followers stay healthy and happy with plain talk and advice, whilst avoiding complicated medical terms whenever he can.
