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. 👉 Interested in watching The Cholesterol Code documentary?
