How did you discover keto?  

My name is Tracy, and I am a 38-year-old woman from Connecticut.  

I was watching MULTIPLE Dr. Berg videos every single day, and I realized that watching his videos and joining his keto consultant program, where I was able to ask questions daily, gave me the biggest return on my investment. 

What did your diet look like prior to adopting keto? 

Before I met Dr. Berg and learned everything, I didn’t know about keto and had very little knowledge of nutrition. As an Italian, I grew up on carbs, specifically pasta, and more pasta. 

Did you have any problems with your weight or health before going on keto?  

I had been sick for almost two decades without even realizing it. Chronic stress was slowly killing me, and I was living an extremely unbalanced life in every way. After going to see my first naturopath, my life started to change with my newfound awareness, but it wasn’t until I implemented keto that my life would change. All of my organs were struggling, specifically my adrenals (with adrenal fatigue), and I had a non-alcoholic fatty liver. My gut is still a work in progress and is one of the last things regarding my health that I will clean up. My sleep was struggling, and I was only getting 7 to 10 minutes of deep sleep per night. Read that again because that’s horrific.  

So, to get back to my keto journey, I had it in my mind to start in April/May, and I pretty much began with dirty keto and slowly fine-tuned my diet the more I learned. By late August, I finally hit ketosis, and this is where my mind was blown. 

How has your health improved since you started keto?   

It felt like it was almost overnight, but over the course of a week, I dropped 8 lbs. Weight loss was not one of my goals at the time because I thought I was as thin as I could be and had the best body that I could possibly have had at the time. I now look better than I ever have because I don’t have excess fluids in my tissues all over my body. THAT was remarkable. To be able to see my muscles and my athletic build without the buffering of excess fluids circulating in my tissues throughout my body was almost unbelievable. I now have permanent abs.  

But let’s forget about the aesthetics. My skin is buttery soft (omega-3s baby!), the knee injury that has been crippling me (no pun intended) for most of my life has greatly improved, and my non-alcoholic fatty liver has improved. I used to think the heels of my feet were always chapped because I’m a hairdresser who works on my feet all day, but when I saw how soft and supple the skin underneath my feet became, I was in awe. I’m not cushy anymore.  

The most important thing is that I finally feel free. Free from the pain of injuries, free from the fear that my organs are failing, and free to know that I can drastically change my body and my life with all of the knowledge that I have accumulated. 

 Any other details you want to share?   

I am crying as I write this because Dr. Berg has saved my life, and I talk about him to everyone and recommend his videos to all my clients who sit in my chair. I have a newfound zest for life because I finally realized that I can make an impact on my life and change it, and I don’t have to be stuck with old ways of thinking. 

I also want to thank Dr. Berg for always being authentic and fighting for freedom of speech and against misinformation. My life wouldn’t be the same without him, and I fully back him in any endeavor he pursues in his career because I believe it will only save people’s lives. I love you all; thank you for your service!
