Hey doc I just want you to know that in the past couple of months of being on the keto diet and dropping sugar I've got to tell you this this is literally, been life changing for me. So a few years ago I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Been going through a really bad divorce and my life was kind of just falling apart at the seams. Near the end I met a girl who really cared a lot about. She told me that I should try the keto diet to lose weight. I was very reluctant thinking it was a fad diet. But I tried it for about a week and I noticed incredible results. First was the cravings for sugar and my glucose levels. Before I started this tired I went to the hospital and they told me that my blood sugar was at 650. My A1C was at 18. I was literally on the verge of death. But without any help from medication sticking to the keto diet. I weighed 280 before I started my journey. I now weigh 239 and my daily blood sugar levels are 98. My last A1C was 7. I'm scheduled to take a new lab in a few weeks. You saved my life because my girlfriend had the proper information from a doctor who was very passionate about his work. I want to bless you and your family for what you did for me. I thought I was going to die. My little girls would grow up without their father. I will always be grateful for you. Anyone reading this and thinking about trying this, just do it! Because you have one life and we have to cherish that. I will continue to lose weight and never go back to where I was. Thank you Dr
craving from sugar I always control that with apple cider vinegar works every time, that and 95% or more dark chocolate preferably 100% no added sugar :) I'm sure DR berg will reply to your comment if not, he hasn't seen it yet! Good luck m8!
I had my thyroid removed, completely at 29. I used to see my endocrinologist every six months for bloodwork, check up etc. checking my medication dose … When doing my check up, he always had me put my hands straight out in front of me. He looked for tremors, & touch my nails; to feel the thickness and general nail health I asked him why he did this; he said it answered many questions for him. Interesting; I know the Chinese believe your hair, nails & skin are direct indicators of one’s overall health 🎉
Eyes tell a whole lot and look up face chart. It's interesting because when I have had breakouts on my face, this chart usually verifies where my trouble is.
On my thumbs I have those horizontal ridges, and they were really deep. I watched one of your videos on nails a while ago and realized I wasn’t getting enough of a few minerals and Vitamin E, so I ate foods that contained those things (hulled pumpkin seeds, hulled sunflower seeds) and now I have about 5mm of new growth with no ridges. So I think I was missing potassium, magnesium, and E. Those are the only things I was at Zero for. I eat about 2 tablespoons of those seeds each day, big difference overall and they are inexpensive. Thank you for the encouragement.
Great info as always! I was breaking out on my chest and back 5-6 years ago. I thought it was my shampoo so I started making my own shampoo & conditioner. Switching helped clear up my breakout but to my surprise, my nails got harder. My nails were brittle, tear, & break. I noticed with me that it's the fruity flavored shampoos and conditioners that cause me to breakout.
@@tonewilhelmsen2425 sure! I love sharing! Shampoo: 1 tsp baking soda to 8 oz water and your favorite essential oil or choose one that's good for your hair. Conditioner: 1 tsp vinegar to 8 oz water and you can add essential oil too. I mixed 2 batches and put in old shampoo bottles. ACV is good for your hair but I can't stand the smell lol but have used it on my hair.

Good morning Doctor Berg: You are one of the BEST specialists to listen to before 7 AM in the the DAY. Your voice IS CALM and filled with fabulous info. I've been attempting to triumph over a diagnosis of first Amnesia then ?????....significant loss of memory..... It has improved with cleansing my diet, intermittent fasting plus laughing at human silliness (including my own)!
Thank you for suggesting foods and not products. I know you have to make a living and you have to make sales, but you are very charitable with your knowledge, and for that, I appreciate you💗
Some city slicker said remove all animal products.. I guess he thought I was a sheep or a baboon and not human, lol. I don't argue with dudes like that. Thank You kindly Sir! ❤
God bless you Dr. Berg from Canada 😊 English is not my first language but your diction is excelent. I can understand 95% of the contents which is very helpful and help me to improve my health as well . Thank you.
Even when I think the subject of your video won't apply to me, you are still very interesting and I always learn something useful. Thank you for the hard work you do to educate us.
Hello Dr. Berg, from NB ,Canada! I'm curious about how all of this works without a gallbladder? Are all these vitamins & minerals absorbed without a gallbladder? Thank you for all of your videos! They've helped me lose 100+lbs over the past few years!
Congratulations! That's amazing! Dr. Berg would love to hear about your success! Please use this link to upload your story: www.drberg.com/add-client-success-story Here's a video that may help! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GfWvF4NTKbA.html Dr. Berg's Support Team.

I'm trying to improve my health but this is all so much stuff to keep up on! too bad most of our doctors don't care about telling their patients these things and checking the potential causes of problems but instead just give them something to take ...a pill 😢
It's great you are taking in Dr. Bergs info...one day at a time. A few years from now you will look back at yourself, and you won't recognize yourself.
I've had brittle ,vertical ridge nails for a while. Started taking a certain hair growth supp. and pumpkin seed oil for a couple of months. The hair supp. has almost everything Dr. Berg prescribes. Biotin,Zinc, etc. Were really bad, now smoothing out, no brittleness, little lumpy still, but getting better. My hair fall is way less.Couple tbsp. daily of EV olive oil helps as well. Keeps wrinkles to a minimum too.
I realized I now eat eggs EVERY day, and it has solved more issues I even realized I had. I get high quality eggs now, but when I was really struggling and homeless, before the egg prices really went up, I was living on even low quality eggs. All I ate were eggs and rice. It was all I could afford. I’ve never had stronger nails, and my hair started to thin due to stress, but has come back stronger than ever as I’m getting back on my feet. This is truth and it’s simple and amazing.
You forgot mention very important mineral IODINE! I take kelp according to my doctor advice and it works great! After few months I have normal nail again!
The type I bought for Kelp from a Very Famous brand got a warning in the back of (Cancer). So I threw it right away! The problem for Kelp it needs to be derived from parts of the oceans that doesn't contain led and other junk that they throw to the sea!
I always had bad toenails after I started running at 14 years old. And it was very obviously because while running my toenails would collide with the inside front and tops of the front of my shoes. There would often be blood 🩸 blisters beneath my toenails any time I started running regularly, as time went by they seemed to get tougher. When the blood blisters were big the toenails would become thick for a while. The last 10 mile run I did when at University gave me a very messed up big toe nail and toenail next to it that were damaged for life. And as I was in college/University I would see Pediatrists at the health fairs and they would laugh at me when they looked at my toenails and say it was fungus beneath the bad toenails! No suggested treatment, just ridicule. And of course they were totally wrong about the cause!
Cut them a LOT shorter, use a course file to smooth them, keep feet/toes clean and DRY, rotate use of shoe/trainers so they dry out for two/three days between wearing the same shoe again.
Yes, as a medical pedicurist, I've been dealing with this exact situation from , sports too small shoes, high heels etc. Keep nails short and be accurate when buying shoes ,make sure there's room in the front and space between the big toe or make sure the width is not to tight. soak in Epsom salt, vinegar . It's the tightness of the shoes and constant banging into inside of shoe..nails are Helmets for our nerve endings and just like a calus the nail will thicken to protect nerves..if this is left too long the nail begins to turn in and eventually looks like a claw instead of nail.. This is always something I see in seniors also as we age we loose padding on bottom of foot so our feet can actually lengthen up to an inch!!! Big problem with seniors always shoes are too small! This is knowledge after 25 years of toes... yellow nails all the way through from base to tip that's a fungus problem ..nail thickening is a sign of lack of care...you can get a fungus problem that way...they are the easiest to cure... Shalom
Me too, i have deformed toenails on both the big toes. It’s so embarrassing. On of them is thick. I had that toenail removed a couple years ago but it never grew back to normal. The other toenail is deformed like a claw. They never bothered me but now they get sore if I wear my shoes for long hours. I don’t know if I should get both of them permanently removed
Doctor Berg I have had brittle nails for about 5 months. I started to have gelatina with no sugar in power with my coffee and bone broth. They are getting better.
Dear Dr Berg I started taking your Enhanced Trace Minerals a couple of months ago. I am sleeping so much better! It’s amazing. I wonder if my nails will improve. Thank you for all you do x
@@Drberg I already looked on YT and I couldn't find a video that explains that problem in particular. Can you please send me a link of a video that talks about that??
I've traditionally had great and strong nails, but after a surgery in November that left me extremely anemic for a couple of months as my blood volume recovered, my nails went brittle as could be. It's taken nearly 6 months for them to recover to the point of not splitting when I put my hand into my pocket. My hemoglobin is back to where it was pre-surgery, and as the nails have grown out, they've become better. So, long story short, iron deficiency/anemia is a definite cause for your nails to suffer. I'll never underestimate how debilitating low iron is for someone again, it was truly miserable.
My nails have dips in them and lines and ridges but I have symptoms of hypothyroidism and adrenal fatigue. I’m open to any suggestions for natural remedies.
I think there's also a connection with kidney health and nails/hair growth, I just have a feeling, kidneys filter the food in the blood and then some right? I might be wrong but perhaps poor kidneys cause lack of sleep, and lack of sleep causes problems with nails, skin and hair. Without sleep doesn't matter how much quality nutrition, and protein you take am I right?
My nails started peeling and chipping much worse after I began using a nail care system called Dry Dazzle. It's marketed as a non toxic nail formula nail care system..all it did was dry my nails out and caused them to peel and chip. I guess the name Dry Dazzle is very fitting...bc it dried my nails out.
I was always under the impression that genetics played a part. The entirety of my father's side of the family has very "healthy looking" nails. My nails grow long and have this strong and clean look to them no matter my diet, and it used to bother me when women would stare and ask me "do you get your nails done?" And I always explained they have been that way since birth. But, I have one nail on my toe that has been brittle since birth hiding a birth mark underneath it. If it weren't for the birth mark I assume it would look like the rest of my nails.
Same! All in my family have very strong thick nails - have a good diet too but didn't see my nails getting worse when I was eating less well. Also taking good care of them - like gentle manicures ( no glue, fake nails that will cause stress and damage when removed etc) and oiling them regularly helps a lot with their health and strength
Ugh my nails and my moms are brittle, thin, horrible. My aunts and cousins nails are thick and well formed even though both have worse health than my mom and I.
@@maxine5665 well in your case could be something like thyroid issues, vitamin deficiencies etc, but those of us born with crappy nails yeah prob genetics
Hmmm ... would a sulpher deficiency be why I craved eating burnt match heads when I was child? I often felt compelld to light a match the blow itbout and eat the head - it tasted so satisfying to me back then.
Wait. 0.64 times my weight in pounds for required protein. Being 230 lbs, thats roughly 150g protein needed. Google tells me an egg is roughly 6g protein, so that would be 25 eggs per day. Or 400-600 gram of meat per day, or a combo of both. I am not sure I could eat that much, and not for an extended period of time 😳😵
My brittle nails is from my Thyroid destruction!! I have no nails left, they are below the nail line…I have never had this issue EVER!!! A FAST REPAIR PLEASE!!! Thank you Dr Berg 🙏🏻🙏🏻✨💝✨🙏🏻🙏🏻
Timely. My nails are breaking easily. They are also pulling away from the skin. Hopefully cod liver oil and an increase in vitamin A and protein will help. I just need something to curve my sweet tooth which strangely came with age; I didn't crave sweets as a teen or young child.🤔
Hi Dr. Berg please make a video on stubborn tan removal i have tried so many home remedies and spf also avoided going out on the sun but I can't get rid of the stubborn tan on my face since ,7-8 years please help me out😭😭😭😭😭 it looks so bad my face is much darker than my body
What helped me to remove dark pigmentation spots from my face was dermarolling. However, it is not an overnight process. Took me long time. Few months at least. Also, skin becomes more sensitive to sun, so spf and hats are must.
You will probably need chemical peels and fancy creams that will nourish your skin and fade them over time. You could use Hydroquinone, but I think it comes with risks.
I have vertical ridges on my nails. I've tried every damn thing Including Biotin, Iron, Zinc ,B12 and Silica but they didn't help. I can't eat meat. Can someone help me with that ?
Hi doctor berg..from singapore here.. Can i request from u a video of an explaination and giving us viewers the remedy for Mumps/Parotitis? The swell below the ear that stays there for quite a period.. Thank u Doctor Eric

Sorry to hear what happened Fiona. Would you like to talk to our product advisors? They will listen and suggest some supplements that can help you. Just click the support center bubble on our website to contact them. shop.drberg.com/ -Dr. Berg's Support Team
Eventually they'll have to admit their profession is lacking a crucial part because they don't pay enough attention to nutrition. Perhaps we should be paying nutritionists instead.
@@LG-universe I have started to look for a different Dr, my Dr has totally neglected me has me on a lot of pain relief tablets even morphine slow release i have started to slowly remove myself from most of the tables he has given me there all mostly opioid tablets & i have asked so many times to have my tablets reviewed but as yet that has never happened
Hey Dr berg , I went to my doctor cuz I have bloating and after I use toilet leave stains and smells bad , he said I have low enzymes and need to be on a discharidise diet , can you please make a video on this so I can heal my self and what to eat , I would really appreciate it, thank you so much , I need help
Hi - thanks for the video! One question on the average protein requirements. Is the .64 grams of protein "rule" for someone who is overweight. For example, I am losing weight and still have about 90 lbs to go. Should I use the .64 grams of protein per lb on my current weight or goal weight?
Hello dr. berg, can u do a video what we can do when have roemheld syndrom, i think for many peoples are the muscular imbalance, on the psoas muscle or diaphragma, thanks. Best doc.
I'm not getting the computation. For my body weight, 168 pounds, I would have to consume 107.52 grams of protein. Please help. This seems too much. Thank you.
For me, cooked carrots provides great levels of vitamin A and gelatin fiber(?) for growing good nails. A meal with lots of butter or fried foods can ruin my nails in just hours. Your nails are provided moisture through the finest capillaries in the bed. If you feel your nails drying after a meal soak your hands in hot water to get rid of the itching.
@Dr. Eric Berg DC ... I'm in a weird place nutritionally. I am allergic/have intolerance with sulfur but because of the hormones in many meats ... I have had to cut out meat or cut down because my estrogenic is too high 😩
How Dr Berg gets to know that I just observed my nails becoming britte ! Please tell what to do about the fingers n palm which looks much older than my age !
hello dr Eric berg how r u,plz sir guide me im very depressed i have stage 4 pancreatic cancer that spread in my liver,plz suggests diet for me, i m really upset plz help me
