Websites and Social Media
- KEN BERRY- https://www.youtube.com/c/KenDBerryMD/videos - Dr. Ken Berry was one of the first people I followed after discovering a Ketogenic/Very Low Carb lifestyle as an anti-inflammatory way of living. His channel introduced me to many other medical providers and health coaches who continue to inspire my "Food as Medicine" approach to health and wellness.
- JUDY CHO- https://www.nutritionwithjudy.com/ - Judy Cho has an incredible amount of free resources on her website to help people recover from chronic illnesses such as autoimmune diseases, Lyme, CIRS, mold exposure, and so much more. I use her wonderful infographics almost every day in patient education.
- AMERICAN DIABETES SOCIETY- https://www.americandiabetessociety.org/ - An organization dedicated to providing education and resources to help REVERSE and prevent Diabetes rather than keep you on medications for life. Since insulin resistance (precursor to Diabetes) is at the root of many chronic illness symptoms (Ben Bikman, author of Why We Get Sick), this website is for you-- even if you or your family does not have Diabetes!
- STEPHEN BENNETT- youtube.com/playlist?list=PLh_fR3zpjUqLgE-glVos5bAP5t6tAobba - So many inspirational health success stories in this YouTube playlist from @CoachStephen (The UKCarnivore). Clients he has interviewed have experienced improvement in many diagnoses, including End-stage/Chronic Kidney disease, IBS, Crohn's, Diabetes 1 & 2, Cancer, Obesity, and Arthritis.
- KELLY HOGAN- https://www.youtube.com/@myzerocarblife/featured - Kelly Hogan has been another life-changing mentor in my health journey who I like to share with women. She has been a strict carnivore for over 16 years now, including reversing infertility challenges to have 3 very healthy babies (while staying on an all-meat lifestyle). She has 100s of videos, reels, and interviews in addition to a coaching group that is very affordable and provides amazing community support to help you reach your health and weight loss goals.
- HEALING HUMANITY- www.youtube.com/@HealingHumanityMovie - Powerful documentary coming out soon from Kerry Mann and Adam Lacy on how healing is possible with the right nutrition. The YouTube channel is packed with video interviews, testimonials, and inspiring clips. Stay tuned for the full-length feature coming out soon!
Infertility Resources
- BEKAH YAWN- https://bekahyawn.com/ - I first heard of Bekah with her podcast on Spotify. Her Spiritual approach to hormones and fertility is so inspiring for those desiring wisdom and guidance from a Biblical worldview. Please check her resources out if you are struggling in any way with your female hormones- not just for pregnancy but also for teens with painful heavy cycles, couples desiring to safely avoid pregnancy without toxic chemicals, and menopause.
- ROBERT KILTZ- https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-RIuwGHdfsTDPN-mFXR9ARALFSXsRjI4&si=EEqflwHHF0ZCbwQW - Dr. Robert Kiltz is also a great resource for many topics, but this playlist is his specific "Fertility, Infertility, and All Things Reproductive". This PDF is very informative regarding his B.E.B.B.I method for fertility: https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/6806ac9d6e2239b640b86dd1/681b7aa0ce51af40bc976f25_BEBBISGuide091922.pdf
