With many years of scientific experience and also released research study about keto diet plans, individuals usually ask Dr. Westman to weigh in on what various other doctors claim regarding this way of eating. View his latest video for his ideas on what a cardiologist who favors plant-based diets thinks of keto.

Go, Dr Westman! I so appreciate your wisdom!
My ex-cardiologist told me I needed to be vegan. I said that isn’t going to happen. I am low carb, lean mass hyper responder, and he was panicked by my increased LDL while achieving my best HDL and Trig in my life. I said to him, I can’t be the only low carb patient he has seen and I asked how do they do. He said, “I don’t know they stopped seeing me”. Yep, me too. Heck with low carb I have no symptoms requiring a cardiologist…so there’s that!
Dr. Westman, please do more reaction videos. Lots of anti-Keto videos out there!
I looked her up since I never heard of her before. She says she has been vegan for many years…which is probably why I never heard of her. Thanks for clearing up misinformation Doc! 💙
I am glad there is doctor like you out there
I add my vote. Dr. Westman’s understated authority and sticking to the facts will cut through the bluster of those who rail against the keto diet. Start with the most popular anit-keto diet videos and offer your critique.
Thank goodness for Dr. Westman! “Fats are fine” indeed!❤❤
Anyone else notice that these vegan pushers have a similar kind of mind set. Thank you Dr Eric, hope you do more of these types of videos👍
Here is one of her comments on that 3 year old video….
“Type II diabetes is NOT for life. It is a diet-induced condition. If you do your homework and actual research, you will find many doctors who’ve reversed Type II diabetes in their patients (as well as high blood pressure, heart disease, etc.), and all for LONG-TERM health. And all of these doctors and their patients have done it with a whole-food, plant-based diet, not with keto diets. You have to be your own health advocate and do your own research.”
Ask that cardiologist if his preferred diet is so superior to the keto diet, why are western countries in crisis mode when it comes to diabetes and heart disease? We didn’t have this problem over 100 years ago.
Thanks dr Westman
I am 82 keto almost 2 years
Everything in my life has changed for the better I am living proof
No medication
Love the simple way you explain things
They are trying to push a plant base only diet. Actually what I’ve read is the WHO and other globalist type groups want to eliminate all animal products by 2035. In fact they are frantically trying to develop lab produced meats.
Oh my WORD! It’s so funny that you would get cancelled. You are the nicest guy on the planet. Just knowing you, I KNOW you were respectful as you always are and that you had your ducks in a row as you always do. This is comical to me. The keto world gets a lot more respect than we used to, but there are still these people who say all these things without the clinical research to back it up.
You realize how disingenuous these two are when the host sets up how keto is bad (before the conversation even begins) and then the doctor sells it as a starvation diet. I’ve never been hungry one day after 5+ years on low carb! Amazing–I eat everday and still went from 250 to 175 pounds. And hospitals are nuts too. My spouse is in the hospital recovering from surgery. (A diabetic in remission now for 5 years–off all meds). We talked to the dietician before the first meal arrived emphasizing we didn’t want anything with sugar and to keep things low carb. What did they bring in for breakfast this AM? Apple juice, applesauce and cream of wheat with brown sugar and apples. Maddening!
Thank you so much Dr Westmond for digging a little deeper into this vegan
Doctors 🥼 work for profit for themselves and or their network. They get kickbacks from bigHarma. Just do what Dr Westman tells you. My total cholesterol was like 254 months later it was 216 and eight months later it was 177 my LDL’s keep dropping along with my triglycerides, my HDL, keep rising oh and let’s not fuhgettaboutit blood glucose at 93 after a lifetime of 110 KETO rules 🙋🏼LDL from 148 to 113 A1C from 5.9 to 5.4 hang in there it gets easier with good cook books 🙏🏻
Whether Keto or Plant based, nothing beats low carb diet for longer healthier living. However, plant based diet usually involves eating high amount of carb.
@Jim Rutherford here’s a good math hack to see how you’re doing take your HDL number and divided into your triglycerides number. If you come up with sun total number 6 that’s great but under 1 is optimal. I’m at .875 that’s under 1 Thanks to Dr Westman
One think is for sure, we the uneducated know more about health and we’ll being than the medical profession.
Because cardiologist’s favorite diet is far from what most people actually consume.
Current western society increased all 3 macros – we all eat way too much, specially ultraprocessed junk.
100000000%!!
I rolled my eyes so much listening to those two, unbelievable!!
Dr. Westman, thank you for your data based information! ❤️
What a well-reasoned reaction you have to this pair. Opinion without facts is just opinion without facts.
Indeed!
One of the sad things about keto is that most people only talk about it from a weight loss perspective. In reality it is much more than that!
I love the keto diet! Every single one of my bloodwork numbers has improved greatly! Praise the Lord! God bless you all!!!🙏❤️
@Island Mancan you kindly share the origins of this hack? I’m at .71 using this equation but my Dr. is flipping out on my LDL>350 / Total cholesterol 438..
@Daniel check out Dr. Paul Mason regarding the HDL/TG ratio.
I love how supposedly educated people who have to know that humans store a good amount of fat, even when fairly lean, and yet cannot understand that the body works just fine on fat and is not ‘in starvation mode’ until that reserve is used up. I still cannot understand why we think glucose is the ‘preferred’ energy of the body. I get it that some cells need glucose, thus the body make it for those cells, but it makes it just fine even when living off primarily fat with no problem.
