Cutting out almost all additional sugar from my diet was one of the best decisions of my life. No more soda and potato chips, no more cakes and biscuits. Skin looks years younger.
I'm 37, been on strict keto for around 12 years... when people ask my age I always say to them to try and guess... and they pretty much all think I'm in my 20's, this way of eating most definitely slows down the ageing process.
Absolutely amazing isnt it?, I started low/no carb last Thanksgiving. Have lost 20 pounds and haven't felt this good in years(I'm 54). I have lost most faith in modern medicine. Not one doctor in my life ever suggested it, just more pills. its all about pushing pills. Glad to hear your doing well with it ,good luck
This man truly knows how to speak in the most simplistic terms, yet the delivery is so well educated. I leave every single video feeling very knowledgeable without being confused by huge words and Harvard level scientific languages the other guy uses. As much as I appreciate both. I find myself gravitating to this channel way more.
Yes he is an intj. So wisdom, insight and te reasonable education braked down so that everyone can understand it. Its not the si - ti labouring complex language with unnessesary details around the clear and main point of a theme.
Too many carbs (probably doesn’t happen much in life) 😂😂😂 Dr Berg you got us there! On your program, can’t wait to share my success story. feeling fabulous after only a month! Thank you
Thank you Dr. Berg for your explainations and information. I remember a quote from Dr. Jason Fung, "The language of the body is hormones.". Thanks again for all you do 🙏😊
Thanks Dr. I always look forward to your videos. Hormonal balance is a topic l don't hear healthcare professionals speak about regularly. My TSH went very low back in 2013 and it gradually improved over the years. All l did was reduced my stress levels, including leaving a very stressful job, introduced coconut oil and other natural foods in my diet. The last time l rechecked it was back in late 2018.l need to do another check if it is still okay.
You are sooooo intelligent,and your advice is very valuable and very important,your information’s are veryyyy useful thank you doctor👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
You have helped me before in control of my hormones! I am estrogen dominant and since I started keto and dim / sea kelp my fibrocystic breasts have calmed down quite a bit. Been living w them in that condition for 2 decades and it isn’t till now that I have experienced relief. Ofc I feel way better now over all! Thank you so much. You are literally a life saver!!!
Guess I'll be keeping up the DIM. I always fall off. Thanks for letting me know it's really helping. Estrogen dominance has caused me a lot of ugly symptoms. Mostly under control but these fibro breasts just had a 2nd larger one removed.
Shared the recent glandular hormone video with friend... He has had some issues with hormones etc... He watched it and this video... and told me yesterday he picked up some veggies to support good hormone health! I am always excited when a friend picks up this info and puts it to use for their health. That's 2 friend in 3 days that have started watching your videos and working on their health. It all goes back to my bad health last year... and DR Berg helped me fix it all! Thank you! You are improving so many lives!
I love how Dr. Berg‘s videos are always like wanna fix this do that, wanna fix this then do that but ultimately the best thing for you to do is intermittent fasting and healthy keto! Hahaha! It’s so true!! It is where the health truly lies! Love ya Dr Berg!
I love you Dr Berg! I am going to be 58 years old… I follow your guides and my body is responding amazingly! I feel and I look like a 20 years old !!!! Thank you thank you thank you ( I just only add some days a little of honey 😝… in my keto plan… but my fasting is between 20 to 30 hours every day and I am very active ) Alejandra ❤️
But I love my cheese Dr. Berg!! Please don‘t say cut the cheese 😩 I usually only eat freshly self-grated high quality Italien parmesan, Swiss gruyere and sometimes cottage cheese or camembert. My Mama always said, if your body craves it and it‘s not junkfood, you need the nutrients in that food. What are the advantages of eating cheese on a regular basis Dr. Berg? I have to say, I eat cheese every single day. Must have been a mouse in my last life 😋 Oh forgot the feta!! Gotta have me some feta crumbled in my big salads.
How can I lower my prolactin and keep it that way? I take Cabergoline but everytime I stop when it's not high anymore, it goes back to being high again. I want to know what causes prolactin to go high and how can I stop it from increasing?
Wow. I stopped eating meat years ago...perhaps 6 years. I started eating more carbohydrates...bad I know. I started gaining weight. I am a size 8 in clothes the biggest I've been in my entire life. My monthly cycle became irregular. Libido is non existent...nothing is the same. I went to dinner one evening after my period hadn't come for over 2 months. I ate Oysters and BAM the next morning my period came! Hah...
Thank you again for another such helpful video,..I don't eat meat but I do eat cod liver, grew up on it, and get my eggs from a small local farm for a long time now, I am following your recommendation of intermittent fasting. I also love that you promote going back to the "old world" way of living, supporting the average Joe, our local organic farmers, not the big companies. I love growing my food as well as much as possible. Thank you, Dr. Berg for helping all of us
Great explanation of the mechanics of hormones and what throws out our natural, healthy state. And as always, Dr. Berg provides healthy food recommendations to address hormone problems and to enhance one's health.
Soybean oil, which is in most of everything, is an endocrine disruptor. I have to make all of my own salad dressings, buy avocado oil based mayo and steer clear of processed foods.
Thank you for your videos. Im feeling better then I have in 5 years and have lost 18kg in 4 months with a two meal a day plan and 6 days exercising and Weight training. My mood is better. My motivation is higher. I really appreciate all of your content. Take care and keep it up!
I've only been on keto and IF for two weeks and already lost over 5Ibs ! This is truly amazing! Thank you Dr. Berg- your info is so practical and easy to follow. If a 69 year old grandma like me can do this anyone can! Plus - I don't even exercise ( waiting to get a little more weight off) as my foot swells up too much in my hiking boot. Also , could you talk about how I can get off pain meds that I've been taking for almost 25 years ( tramadol, gabapenten and also trazadone) thanks
"Let me give you a very rare example that probably never happens in life. Let's say you start eating a bunch of carbohydrates for years and years..." 😂😂😂
Dr. Berg Can you do a video about hormonal migraines and vertigo during menstrual cycles? Big drop or decrease of estrogen and progesterone during ovulation and periods.
Hey Doctor, just here listening to your videos and wanting to leave a comment since I’ve listen to hundreds of your videos and I never even acknowledged it to you. So thank you for the videos you make and thank you for simplifying the information down to sentences we can easily understand. You are great at this. Almost have the brain of a advanced family doctor just by seeing your video. Thanks.
Dr Berg I would love to see a video on insulin and asian countries that eat a high carb diet. Are you only referring to bad refined carbs when you speak of carbs as a whole? I am asking because I am plant based. Also I love the facial hair ! 🙂
Recognise that while the Asian natives use lots of rice and noodles, that they use lots of fermented foods, use lots of spices and herbs and also eat lots of fish and don't suffocate everything with sugar and excess salt. They also generally are people who are physically more active.
@@remiem-iw7uk I do know what you say is true I lived in Asia for 5 years. My bf is Korean and his metabolism is on fire he is so skinny but can literally eat anything. I do eat lots of fermented foods like the vegetables and kimchi. It's very hard to walk around here and I do remember being able to walk 3 to 5 miles everyday in South Korea China Japan and so forth.
I had a cyst before and i had surgery, now i know why it was because my hormones now i consumed seaweed and seakelp regularly everyday thankyou drberg 🙏🏻🥺
What about hormones on menopause. Until 60 years old my weight was 120 ( running 25 miles a week + keto) I am 61 younger now with 16 pounds more . Even I do have a dental procedure, eating soft food like eggs, doing my green smoothies and broth after a month my weight didn’t move down 🤨
After just eating a whole tub of Kale cooked with sea salt, garlic and salt granules and cooked in organic olive oil. And eggs with some cheese. It's definitely cleaning me out. Not my first rodeo lol.
I have halved and reduced by a third, my two ca 125 blood test levels, (high levels may indicate endometriosis), by following your advice, (mainly the anti cancer dietary videos). I also take idione from organic ireland red sea algae. My ca125 levels have dropped in just 4 months, and I havent always been consistent. My ovarian endometrioma cysts have stopped growing also!! "Things are stable", the gyno said. They wanted to give me a hysterectomy.. I wanted to give my body a chance to heal itself instead. I genuinely owe a lot to Dr Berg. It was his videos that put me in the right direction, and gave me a lot of information to adapt into my daily life. Thankyou!! Heres what I do: little dairy, little sugar, little refined carbs, intermittent fasting, half my food intake is organic, (but only in past month), twice daily NAC and vit c supplement, nice walks, organic idione, green powders, lemon water and apple cider vinegar, lots of raw cruceriferous vegie salads, I grow my own brocolli sprouts,(so easy to do), and have a cup a day (thats straight from DR Berg's anti cancer videos), wild caught sardines, and wild red salmon, organic liver twice a week, average sized portions of organic meats...dark choc 85 percent...and I give myself treats cause otherwise i found i just end up bingeing. The longest Ive fasted is 20 hours per day, normally I do 14 to 16 hours a day. I might do 3 days in a row and then stop for weeks. I will keep going with everything, and hope to reverse my condition (endometriomas) in time! Im 47 and just wish I had of done this sooner. Xx
Dr Berg, Could you clarify what you mean by “vitamin D is a hormone”? I have seen at least 3 commenters (on your valerian root video), asking if they should stop taking vitamin D because they thought it is a hormone the same way cortisol, insulin, melatonin, ect. are. You explained in your recent video on valerian root (3:48), that if you provide too much hormone for too long of a period, the gland that is supposed to produce the hormone, will get lazy. I can find some of your videos on vitamin D where you stated that it is acting like a hormone but is not produced by a gland like cortisol and such are.
I think hormones are also triggering hyperpigmentation - the kind that occurs in later years. Creams are not helping. I want to do it from internally but what foods will help?
I recently found your channel and your videos are so interesting that I don’t even know where to start haha I guess it’s a luxury problem. Thank you for your effort, I am glad I found your channel. Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
Great topic and very relevant for me right now. Please cover Mast Cell Activation and Hypersensitive Esophagus as potential causes of reflux type symptoms.
This is an amazing video. Thank you for this helpful video teaching us how to eat right. I was listening to Dr. Kevin Zadai he was talking in his ministry how you talked about thyroid problem and gallbladder and how the gallbladder supplement that you gave fixed the thyroid problem. God bless you
I’ve recently been diagnosed with endometrial hyperplasia. Thank you for your videos! They’re helpful in figuring out my next best steps in terms of diet. If you are able to make a video on endometrial hyperplasia I’d greatly appreciate it! Thank you!
Yup, me too, endometrial hyperplasia for over a year. I was on HRT and got an overdose of estrogen from a hormone doctor. Now getting treatment from an obstetrician, with ultrasounds. I can't wait for it to be over, it's awful. But now I know to cut down on dairy.
Thank you for this. I had blood drawn a few months ago and was told I have hyperthyriod. My testosterone is high, almost no estrogen. I am a 66 yr old female. Unfortunately in a stress filled relationship. My naturopath wants me on bioidentical hormores, but I would rather work on my diet. You have addressed all my issues, I implemented these in Jan. But don't know if it's helping. Thanx for sharing your knowledge freely and understandably.
You’re in menopause, you’re suppose to have no estrogen. Please watch menopause Taylor on RU-vid to learn more. Drs aren’t even educated on menopause. I was ignorant myself but knowledge is power.
@@damariszuckschwert9489 , its not as easy as it sounds. I care for 2 handicapped adults, one my son, the other my brother. I am ok with the noise and my spouse, having no kids, has had to learn to deal with kids, but also one with turrets and autism. I too am learning to calm down when dealing qith my brother as well as to make things less complicated. Putting either of my boys in a home is not an option. Noone promised life of happiness, and I need to , " having done all,to stand." I am glad its spring and will be in the garden and my spouse has golf. Now a keto diet person, but learning to eat the right things more, and more fermented foods. I appreciate your feedback.
First I diligently worked so hard to become Mediterranean, then added all clean organic, next added Paleo, on to adding ''Nutritriant Dense on ORAC Scale, worked up to regular 4 sequential days of water-only Fasting with HIIT & eTRF bi-monthly, struggled to maintain full KETO, finally now I eat to treat hormones.
Grazie Dott. Eric Berg, i always watching your videos once i'm already in my rest hrs here in Milan, Italy. I always shared it to my daughter in the Philippines and also to my friends here in Italy.❤
Also, in regards to iodine, I get painful breasts about a week or so before my period along with my PMS symptoms. However, eating 1-2 nori sheets a day (10-20% daily value of iodine), my breast pain started two days before my period instead of a week. It's interesting, how around the time my PMS starts, I'm always craving seaweed and scallops and mussels. Now I know it's because of the iodine.
Dear Dr Berg, I would like to express my gratitude for your work and an incredibly valuable health guidance which you continue to provide. I wanted to ask - would you have any advice for people suffering from eating disorders? I have a personal history of anorexia. Now, nutritionally mostly rehabilitated, I follow your general recommendations (i.e. eating one meal per day, including plenty of vegetables and healthy fats, sometimes I also practice longer fasting, exercising a lot). Mentally however, the disease is still taking its toll and seems to be retaining control - hence my question. Since I highly respect your knowledge and experience, I would be extremely grateful for any insight you might share.
Hi there, I’m currently 17 and I suddenly started to get acid reflux last year sept. My doctor prescribed PPIs and I took them for almost 5 months not knowing they’re actually making my condition worse. I suspect I have low acid now and I’m get chest burns along with a burning pain in my middle to upper back after every meal even water. Do you think by increasing my stomach acid, I can heal from this extreme reflux?
Aloe juice could possibly help. Walmart sells it for about$10. Beware. It. Tastes. AWFUL. Like drinking kerosene. It's beneficial tho. Don't forget probiotics too.
Thank you Dr Berg I am athletic but have hypothyroidism and tired of thyroxine and blood tests to find the balance. I will stop eating cruciferous vegetables. I will consume more iodine salad and seafood + Brazil nuts. Wish me luck ❤
What green veggies can I eat that won’t bloat me and tear up my insides? I love broccoli and kale but when I eat it, it feels like shrapnel going thru me
*** NOW Besides the; HERBICIDES, FUNGICIDES, PESTICIDES, INSECTICIDES, WHAT About all of those SUICIDES & HOMICIDES, FRATRICIDES, and GENOCIDES ???? I am Pretty sure that most of these might lead to some form of termination. ( Unless your the TERMINATOR; 8-| " I'll be back! " )
