ABOUT

Meet Dr. Ken Berry.

Family physician. Twenty-plus years in rural Tennessee. Creator of the Proper Human Diet.

It’s nice to meet you.

I am Dr. Ken Berry, a board-certified family physician with over two decades of experience practicing in rural Tennessee.

My journey into health and wellness advocacy started with my own struggle. I was a frustrated doctor, watching my patients (and myself) get sicker on the standard advice. The textbook said one thing. The data in front of me said another. I had to make a choice.

I grew up in Hohenwald, Tennessee. I earned my MD at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center. My wife Neisha, our two children, and I now live on a farm in Holladay, Tennessee, where the way we eat reflects the way I teach.

Over 25,000 patients have walked through my clinic in the years since. Millions more have found the work online. What I see, every day, is that people are not broken. They have been given the wrong instructions.

The Proper Human Diet is the right instructions, written down.

What I Teach

I teach people how to use real, nutrient-dense food to take control of their health and address the root causes of chronic disease.

My work focuses on carnivore and low-carb ways of eating, type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance, cholesterol and statins, and improving metabolic health.

My goal is to help you understand how your body works so you can make informed decisions about your health without relying on complicated diets or conflicting nutrition advice.
