The same health struggles show up again and again, and so do the things that actually help people get healthier.<\/p>\n<p>In this video, I\u2019m sharing 5 of the biggest lessons my patients have taught me about health, nutrition, weight loss, and metabolic health.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll talk about why chronic disease often develops long before the diagnosis, why hunger eventually beats willpower, why patients are more likely to follow dietary advice that actually makes sense, and why the number on the scale may be one of the least interesting measurements of your health.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll also explain why I believe simple nutrition plans built around nutrient-dense real food are often easier to sustain than complicated diets involving constant calorie counting, food tracking, meal timing, supplements, and willpower.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re dealing with insulin resistance, prediabetes, type 2 diabetes, fatty liver, high blood pressure, unwanted weight gain, or you simply want to improve your metabolic health, I hope these lessons help you think differently about what actually matters. <\/p>\n<p>Your goal shouldn\u2019t just be to weigh less. The goal is to become metabolically healthier.<\/p>\n<p>If you have questions about keto, carnivore, the Proper Human Diet, or your own health journey, join us inside the Proper Human Diet Community and get access to DrBerryAI.

She completed her internal medicine residency and cardiology fellowship at the University of Pittsburgh, drawn to cardiology by her family history of diabetes and heart disease.<br \/>\nIn 2015, she transformed that practice from conventional cardiology into a wellness practice built on diet and movement to reverse lifestyle disease \u2014 initially teaching a low-fat, high-carb, plant-based approach.<\/p>\n<p>An endurance athlete since 1999, Dr. Dulaney has completed over 50 marathons, 6 Ironmans, and multiple ultras, including two 100-mile races \u2014 most recently the Badger 100 in Wisconsin this August. <\/p>\n<p>Around the same time, she noticed rising HgA1c and insulin resistance in her patients, low DHA levels, and early signs of pre-diabetes in herself. Together, these findings led her to shift her practice to a low-carb, high-fat approach. Today, she&#8217;s on a mission to educate others on the risks of plant-based diets and the flawed data behind them.<\/p>\n<p>Instagram: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/jaimeladulaney\/<br \/>\nWebsite: https:\/\/doctordulaney.com\/<br \/>\n Facebook: https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/jaimela.dulaney<\/p>\n<p>\u2b50\ufe0fFREE downloadable Proper Human Diet GUIDEBOOK: https:\/\/drberry.com\/pages\/guide<\/p>\n<p>Get DrBerryAI Access : https:\/\/bit.ly\/DrBerryAI ( 3 day free trial )<\/p>\n<p>Get DrBerryAI + PHD Community Access : https:\/\/bit.ly\/PHDCommunityPlus <\/p>\n<p> American Diabetes Society: https:\/\/www.americandiabetessociety.org\/<\/p>\n<p>COMMON SENSE LABS book: https:\/\/amzn.to\/4eD5Emt<\/p>\n<p>PHD Merch: https:\/\/drberry.com\/collections\/merch  (T-Shirts, Tanks, Hoodies, etc)<\/p>\n<p>Our Farm Channel:  @drberryfarms<\/p>\n<p>Disclaimer: Nothing in this video is Medical Advice.
