6:48 Check out my video on the best diet for bipolar disorder and OCD!
Today I want to share what I believe is the best natural protocol for bipolar disorder and OCD. This isn’t meant to replace your medical care. Check with your doctor before implementing this information.
The typical treatments for bipolar disorder and OCD have a lot of potential side effects. But, these treatments work by manipulating neurotransmitters.
What’s interesting is that the friendly microbes in your gut actually make neurotransmitters. If you have gut problems, your friendly microbes probably aren’t making enough neurotransmitters. People with bipolar disorder have a much higher incidence of gut inflammation.
The best natural protocol for bipolar disorder and OCD:
Fix any gut issues first:
• Consume fermented foods with prebiotics and probiotics.
Go on a low-carb ketogenic diet:
• The carnivore version of keto may be beneficial for people with gut problems.
Take fish oil:
• I like cod liver oil because it contains vitamin D, vitamin A, and omega-3 fatty acids.
Take B vitamins:
• B1 and folate are very important. Nutritional yeast is a great source of natural B vitamins.
Cut out grains, sugar, and grain oils:
• It’s essential to support the friendly microbes in the gut and remove things from the diet that cause inflammation.
A few additional options:
• Lithium orotate (for bipolar disorder)
• N-acetly cysteine (for mania)
• Hyperforin (for depression)
• Glycine (for schizophrenia)
• Niacin (for schizophrenia)

Thanks for watching! I hope this helps increase your awareness of the best natural protocol for bipolar disorder and OCD. I’ll see you in the next video.
My diagnosis when I left my last psychiatric hospital 8 years ago. Bi polar disorder, major depression, panic and anxiety disorders, insomnia, OCD, was a bad cutter and had a mini stroke at 29. Leaving the hospital prescribed 9 different medications when I left there. Currently taking absolutely no medication other then medical marijuana. First psychiatric hospital at 12 years old. Now 8 years later I’m 75 pounds lighter am probably in my best physical and mental health in my life. Changed all of my diet number one thing was sugar to start. Changed the music that I listen to ( very important aspect for me personally). Work out when I get home from work just about every day for about an hour also ride a bike for one to two hours 3 nights a week usually. Everything in my life is trying to find the positive in every situation and keep positive people around me at all times. People on the same frequency will help boost your intuition and drive you to stay the course. Are there setbacks absolutely but the I don’t let it get to me as it did previously. This is not boosting or bragging this is a story of having hope and putting my health number one before anything or anyone else. My relationship with my children’s mother is wonderful and we work together to make sure both of our children are being guided in the right direction. Knowing that I’m a strong minded and confident person for the first time in my life feels amazing. I’m not well off and I will never appreciate money but I work hard and have a good job that pays my bills and makes sure our children are taken care of. Don’t give up and stay out of the darkness. Get into the sun and love your family and friends as much as you can. Put god back in your hearts or whatever higher power works for you because what you put in your mind and body will spit back out in every aspect. Sorry for the rant but I want people to not loose hope and trust your intuition and always follow your heart. Dr Berg you and Dr Mandell are saving people’s lives and giving us all hope to look forward to tomorrow not to mention giving us all knowledge on how to heal ourselves. Thank you Dr from the bottom of my heart. Thank you and God bless you all and your families.
Wanted to hear more about the diet aspect but I'm still "in the trenches" at age 42 unemployed and single with not much opportunity on the horizon at present. Inner work is something I can do and I now probably have to do OMAD, 2MAD, fasting etc. to maintain a lower weight and keep my mind and body in a better place.

Your children are fortunate you are finding your way out of the darkness. As a child, I was not as fortunate. As an adult, my childhood still haunts me. This is a prime case of how our diets not only affect our health, but also our frame of mind. Your children are fortunate you found your way out naturally. You are helping your children and future grand children with this nutritional information.
Awesome story! God bless
@@android584you got this 💪🏽
I love you so much, Dr Berg! I swear I'm still alive because of you. I'm getting ready to start my 21 day fast. Hopefully, it'll help purge this cancer, bad liver and spleen, lupus, hypothyroidism, and fibromyalgia. After the 21 days, I plan on starting my Keto journey. Imagine having ocd, too. 🙄 All I do is think about my health and pain constantly. Therapy used to help with the obsession cleaning and hand washing. I even shake people's hands now.
Good luck. Let us know how you get on
👍🏼
Amazing first steps!!! Keep it up
All will be well
Wow, you have a lot going on there! You are alive because of the Grace of God. God uses people like Dr Berg to help mankind. God gave EVERYONE a gift that would be beneficial to us all. You have a gift as well. May you continue on your fasting until completion. Fasting, no doubt will bring healing to the body as well as renewal of the mind. Stay on the journey!👍
A doctor that is not against VITAMINS 👏🏻 I’d trust this man with my life
Also a doctor… immunology, allergy, and internal medicine. He is speaking truth.
Except he’s not an actual doctor…if he was he would have his license pulled for not pushing big pharmaceutical meds
@@Xstr3ngthzand that’s what makes him brilliant
@@Xstr3ngthz I think Dr. Berg deserves the title "doctor" because in the original meaning of the word doctor is teacher is teacher.
Regular exercise, such as fast walking for 30 minutes, and bright sunshine help a lot too. So does very deep and very slow breathing for 15 to 20 minutes where you put your full focus on your breath. Works wonders for the mood and energy.
so true Brian
I totally agree! I found all things you mentioned DEFINITELY HELP! I have multiple mental illness diagnosis & just going outdoors & being in the sun(sunlight) both GREATLY REDUCE MY SYMPTOMS!!! I also started meditating & doing breath work approximately 2 years ago & am able to manage my anxiety attacks with my breathing!!
Thanks for sharing!
I just finished all that you mentioned. The Sun is my best friend.🌞
@HelloBarbara777 Wim Hof's method is super energizing, improves health and is probably mood boosting but I'm not sure if it's naturally calming because it's fast. Whereas deep and slow is very calming and also energizes. Although it probably doesn't energize as fast as Wim Hoff. The full focus on the breath makes the breathing into a meditation so it enhances the power because full focus on the breathing takes you out of thinking. Takes you out of the mind to some extent which is healing and empowering.
@@Lissa11638 Hi Melissa. Yes meditation and breathwork are powerful. I invite you to check out Michael Beckwith's youtube channel. And also Aaron Abke's youtube channel. Both of them are spiritual teachers and advanced meditators who are very uplifting and inspiring. Nourishment for the spirit/soul.
Ever since i started taking a combination of zinc, vitamin D and omega 3 fish oil and started going to the gym my mood and OCD symptoms have drastically improved. It's hard to tell which component was the one that helped me the most or if it was a combination of everything but i do definitely believe nutrition plays an important role.
If you got fish oil you dont need vitamin d as it has some already
@@thegreat9481 you cannot have too much vitamin D - I would still take vitamin D with omega 3 Fish oil. It won’t hurt you.
@@DinaDahl007 In fact you can take too much Vitamin D.
It's very difficult to overdose on vitamin D naturally through diet and sunshine however you can overdose on Vitamin D through supplements.
Illd say the gym
@@thegreat9481 depends on the fish oil. Cod liver oil has some vitamin D, other fish oils do not (at least not a substantial amount)
This is true.. I've had OCD and intrusive all my life.. I went low carb/ keto last year and it all went away.. my brain focus completely switched.. I've fell back into eating carbs and refined sugar in the last month.. and the ocd and all the other things returned pretty much straight away.. absolutely spot on as usual Dr Berg!
Did u have intrusive thoughts?like some can b sexual about other girls, even though u don't really like them. The thoughts come in n u have to tell the girl u see what ur thoughts were about other girls. N other intrusive thoughts
@@toekneelorenzo2942 they are classic intrusive thoughts.. I'm probably older than you and understand my condition a bit more.. you can get help.. Cognitive behavioural therapy is one.. some good books on amazon as well.. but start with your diet.. then you will have the momentum to tackle everything else.. don't worry about the stupid thoughts, everybody has them.. we just struggle to dismiss them.. and the more you fight the more it will happen.. it's about retraining the brain and eating right! Start with the diet and you'll get on top it.. it's not uncommon intrusive thoughts.. you just have to identify that's what it is and go from there.. natrual is the way go.. I'd try that before any medication... Dr berg explains why in this video..
Take care.
@@stormyweather580 easier said than done. Lol but I do consume alot of carbs n sugar. I just cant seem to keep my mouth shut or comments. It really is crazy
@@toekneelorenzo2942 honestly I have lost over 25 years of my life to intrusive thoughts and ocd/ obsessive worrying.. the only time it's ever really truly subsided is last year when I went keto.. start with that n you'll see a huge difference.. the condition can get out of hand if you don't something about it.. one intrusive thoughts will be replaced with the next.. but it can be sorted..
Inflammation of the frontal lobe ? Frontal lobel deals with turning off bad thoughts , anxiety and depression.
Keto/low carb high fat diet would help this alot.
Hi Dr Berg, I just wanted to share with you a bit of my success. I’m 48 went into early menopause at 45. I gained about 25 lbs and the inflammation was awful. I started IF with clean keto one month ago today. I’m down 10.8 lbs and shockingly my planter fasciitis and all other inflammation is GONE. I cannot thank you enough for all the help you’ve provided me. I will keep this as a lifestyle going forward 🙏🏼
Could you see your inflammation or feel it & what is different when it's gone?
@@foehrlyodd inflammation is arthritis flare ups in the joints
@@johnannaburke1625 right, but can you see it or just feel it & what does it feel or look like?
@@foehrlyodd - I have hypothyroidism and on Synthroid and was told the inflammation around face, stomach would calm down. It didn't until i started occasional IF, low carb, low sugar, (oh and gluten-free because i was told i had allergy to it ). My face, stomach, eyes are normal now. I can see it and feel it.
I was diagnosed with bipolar from a very young age. I was on strong doses of atypical antipsychotics, lithium, and lamictal. Going sugar free, low carb, and gluten free have made all of my bipolar symptoms disappear entirely. I have been off of medication for about 3 years without relapse. If I eat sugar or a lot of carbs, I feel completely manic, and my thinking becomes disordered. I have MTHFR mutations on both of my chromosomes, which predisposes me to many endocrine/metabolic disorders. Through keto, I was able to completely reverse my Hashimoto's thyroiditis and the mood stability was just a bonus.
Wow that give me hope again ! Thanks for sharing. I have fibro, depression, anxiety, hormonal, don't know if bipolar, but a doctor suggest me to look into it. I was devasted bc I thought I could not heal. Which carbs you are talking about ? Like bread ? Is that ok if I have gluten freen bread or gluten free pasta ? Sugar is find but carbs 😳 I need sometime gluten free bread/pasta 😊
So many people called me crazy because I swear by this man’s advise now I’m glowing Iv not felt or looked this healthy as long as I can remember im a ex heroin addict and Iv been on a host of medications and they are all toxic NATURAL treatments and diets with exercise all combined improve mental health massively and I recommend dropping process food and alcohol and cigarets right now and start eating natural organic foods
Thank you dr Eric I believe u saved my life from kidney/liver severe damage Iv totally turned my life around and you have and continue to help and motivate me massively
Don’t swear by his advice
The one thing that helped with my bipolar was the carnivore diet. When you eat like this, your body will naturally go into a fasted state because you don't feel so hungry. So carnivore and fasting helped. It's cheaper than popping pills. Hope this helps.
I’m doing that now /)
@@seefoodbites best of luck. Prioritise eggs as they are a cheap source of protein and fat. Rotate your proteins, add whatever organ meats you can tolerate, have bone broth for collegan and have probiotic yoghurt. After the first month you can start adding sweetener if your brain can tolerate it.
@@fujoshirants9609 yeah I love liver I eat it like 3 x a week bought eggs and salt water 💦 bc I’m weight training this week I have to bc I have been eating too many sweets 🍫
@@seefoodbites sweets are the worst thing for your brain, blood and skin. Cut it out for a month. Don't even have sweetener. Once your blood glucose level stabilizes, you can have sweetener. The healthiest option is monkfruit. Most of the others are lab experiments. Best of luck.
@@fujoshirants9609 thanks 🙏 yeah I normally eat pretty healthy other then a treat here or there I love me some protein 😂 over carbs tbh
Right on time..have had OCD since Age 10! I am 30 now and still have It. Nothing to do with cleaning but with intrusive thoughts and actions involved..It ruins your life.
That's OCPD
I have the same problem since I was 11, and I am 35 now!
It does. It can get very very serious. People often think that it has to do with cleaning but that’s not necessary the case. It’s the patterns and the repetitive actions to get over those unwanted thoughts. I wish you miracles to somehow get rid of it or at least being able to control it.
@@user-qk8wh9js1f what does the PD part mean?
Take 50000 iu of D vitamins . Research the Coimbra Protocol and y will be cured. Take acetyl cystein and metyl folate too. Vitamin D mega dose and Acetyl L cistein will do miracles for y.
Don't forget, disconnecting from ALL toxic relationships if at all possible can help also. Those deadly relationships can deplete important nutrients & Jack up your gut flow.
Well, what if they’re all toxic relationships? Then you’ll just be alone.
@Warrior80, from personal experience I can tell you there are so many worse things than being alone. I have been alone for 5 years now and my life is much better. Hobbies help. Try it you might like it. 😊
My husband was diagnosed with depression and his test also shows a bipolar disorder. 'm convinced it comes from the trauma of having to go through mandatory military service in his country and knowing that he would have to do it since he was a child. It made him live his life with a damocles sword above his head getting closer each day. We have been doing keto for almost a year now and it's true that I see a huge difference in his behavior. There is less explosive rage and he is more well adjusted. We will try to add the things recommended in this video. Thank you!
I was going to bet your husband's is Jewish as they often mention mandatory military service but I see that a number of other countries have mandatory military service as well.
@@android584 My husband is South Korean. :)
I wonder if Ashwaganda would help him. i take one gum drop type supplement of it a day, and things don't seem to bother me as much, and I worry much less. I feel this soothing calmness I didn't have before. It is an adaptogen, which means it adapts to your body's needs. Look up Dr. Berg's videos on it.
I'm sure you know this already, but please tell him about breathing techniques. It may be hell but deep breathing helps me soldier through the black fog
Another BOMBSHELL video Dr. Berg. THANK YOU! 👍🏽🌟👍🏽 I know SO many people with neurological damage from today's toxic envoronment. 😭 These are wonderful ideas to help them. If people can't think and reason, it is so much harder to be healthy in other ways. The brain is our most precious organ (along with the heart of course). Today's children especially need this info! This topic is so important right now.
Happy to know that you found the information useful.
I used a naturopath to heal my ocd. Cut out gluten and sugar as well as most dairy. This is on point. Curcumin is also really helpful.
I have both Bipolar and OCD, I was on medications that caused facial twitches and losing the muscle control of my tongue. This is so useful!!
My mother is bipolar and those meds causing her lots of issues. I sent her the book You can eat stability( german book) written by a woman who reversed her bipolar disease. But my mom has no will. The meds made her docile and doctors told her there is no cure. Breaks my heart so see her decline.
Born with OCD , doctors tried to shove everything in my mouth and i said no . At 36 , cannabis changed my life. 8 years later, 98% is gone. I also work out , drink only water and fast every day for 16 hours . Thank you for your help.
Side effects of cannabis though
It's my pleasure! Happy to know you found the post useful.
Cannabis helps me sleep
@@chandel_rajputbundelkhand8490 itll ruin your sleep in the longterm. Dont keep doing that unless you want to depend on cannabis the rest of your life. Smoking all the time made me never have dreams and have impacted REM sleep which is never good
@@zjljlzll4568 I micro dose just once when I am about to sleep.
Wow this makes so much sense. I am currently getting over a stomach virus and I have been suffering non stop panic attacks every time I eat now. The gut is super sensitive.
Thank you for this information, Dr Berg. I've had cyclothymia since my late teens, which wasn't properly diagnosed until 2010. I wish so much that I could at least reduce my meds a little so I'm looking forward to trying out your suggested fish oils, VitB etc. I did read a book years ago about a patient with severe depression who was successfully treated with high grade fish oils.
This is vital info bc I know alot of people going through this right now. I will try to get this video out to help as much as I can.
Very glad to be of help, thanks for sharing!
Excellent information! So many people suffer from these conditions- for many made worse by relying on prepared food delivery during the pandemic.
THANK YOU, DR. BERG! ❤️🙏
Happy to know that you found the information useful.
Congratulations on the very broad and well explained summary! I've read about all these items. Your protocol brings the notion of the WHOLE: instead of separate parts. VERY GRATEFUL!
As someone with both Bipolar and OCD, I appreciate having this as a resource. I am all for a natural and nutritional approach first.
The one important caveat that I have learned though, is that no change in meals/diet should be drastic. Changing meal frequency, fasting, eliminating something suddenly, etc. can often trigger mania or depression in Bipolar making things much more severe.
yes! and also that a lot of people who are bipolar have EDs
Though I don't suffer from these conditions, I worked in a hospital in the past and I've seen a lot of patients who suffered from mental disorders, I remember this particular individual who as well suffered from a severe case of OCD and was obsessed with making sandwiches 😅 which possibly made their condition worse; taking into account the amount of bread they consumed. Wishing everyone who suffered from those a speed recovery and a happy healthy life.
Thank you Dr Berg for making all those complicated terms easy for understanding. Very grateful for sharing all of your knowledge.
I'm happy to know that you found the post useful. Thanks for watching.
Thank you so so much for this!!! I’ve had OCD for over 10 years and I never wanted to get medication because of the side effects. I want to try these methods to improve my health, intrusive thoughts and compulsive responses, and mood!!! I hope to succeed and become more free and happy the natural way! 😄
A lot of sense in what you are saying Dr Berg, I went from being a quick study able to retain 90-95% of what I studied to having to restudy something 4-5 times to do the same. It got so bad I could not recall 90% of the people I had known over the past ten years and peripheral neuropathy (drop foot) as well as chronic inflammation of the alimentary canal. I cut right back on carbs, started taking supplements (b1 and brewers yeast included in this), and am coming right again, slowly but surely. I also started taking kimchi and saurkraut for the gut health and eating a lot of fish; so using a lot of the points you bring up in this video has definitely helped. PS. not a big fan of psych labels as their success rate is pretty dismal.
Just remember brewer’s yeast has estrogen in it. That’s one of the many reasons why Dr Berg recommends nutritional yeast that’s is not fortified. Just so you know. 😃
Add daily meditation for at least 10 minutes and exercise and sunshine and that will help you tremendously.
Get non-fortified Nutritional Yeast, NOT Brewers Yeast.
Where do you these supplements and the nutritional yeast. Can I just go to any pharmacy like Walmart, CVS, or GNC to get this stuff?
Yep, on looking up my sons 13 pills a day he takes for DID their mostly low dose anesthetics
Right on target 🎯
The treatments I witnessed in behavioral health as an RN was criminal. People in crisis would be admitted for evaluation and be alert and oriented on the first day and confused, scared, and disoriented asking me for help 24 hours later.
Look at the chart and, lo and behold, the “doctor” had them started on 2-3 psych meds. It was disgusting.
Stress,trauma, sleep deprivation, gut imbalances, diet are the root cause of changes in behavior.
Having personally experienced multiple traumas and chronic stress, I understand these mechanisms more clearly.
The GMO’s, glyphosate, and poison food additives have greatly augmented the gut problems with microbiome imbalances and inflammation.
Fix the gut and you fix the brain and everything else.
Thanks again for sharing your knowledge.
Peace and blessings 🙏
You speak the TRUTH!!
Great information!
Thank you Dr. Berg for educating us in such a complicated subject.
It's my pleasure! Happy to know you found the post useful.
Thank you so much Dr. Berg! I have OCD. I really appreciate your sharing this protocol! God Bless you!
UNBELIEVABLE....as usual Dr. Berg.... always easy to understand.... always eye opening..... You are the best out there... period.
Hi Dr. Berg, thank you for all that you do! Can you do a video on ADHD, depression, and anxiety disorders? Which vitamins and diet are best? It's hard to focus and feel calm a lot of days. Also, best vitamins for memory? Looking forward to more great content🙂 Have a blessed day!
I second this!
Yep definitely!
I totally agree with the doctor. Natural supplements, diet change and exercise allowed me to get off masking meds and reverse my depression. Thank God.
@@JCB.PSALM_23_KJV I agree!
You do not need supplements to calm down. Look up Shawn kassam on UA-cam. He helps people with anxiety recovery. Taking pills or supplements is a coping mechanism and won’t actually help you recover from anxiety.
I was hoping he would mention inositol. Just learned of this ( sugar) use to be known also as vitamin B8. The body produces it but if it gets depleted for some reason many different mental/brain disorders can begin. My daughter has been dealing with depression, OCD, anxiety and intrusive thoughts for years and after only a few days of adding inositol she is better for the first time in years, no more intrusive thoughts! Her integrative doc never suggested this! Apparently it is a must have for the brain. Inositol was the answer to our prayers, thank you Jesus!
How much do you take?
Where do I get the medicine from?
Which brand is she using and at what dose? I tried inositol for my severe ocd previously and didn't seem to see much results. Perhaps it was the brand or dose. Praise Jesus that she has found something that is helping her!
Thank you ever so much once again because first you helped me and now I'm trying to help others. Have a family member suffering from Schizoaffective disorder ,depression and a lot of ailments which have been trying to help and educate.
Good morning dr berg. I hope your day is full of blessings. Always love your energy. Ty for helping people.
It's my pleasure! Happy to know you found the post useful.
Since starting all the recommendations by Dr Berg my OCD, ADHD & depression is starting to disappear at a rapid rate. I highly recommend following what he says & I am 51yr old female. You won’t EVER regret it or look back
I have hashimoto thyroditis and also ocd and depression and intrusive thoughts
Suffering from h pylori bacteria low iron how do i fix these issues
Thanks for sharing. Great to know these things have helped you
Does the diet or supplements help more?
Thank you Dr. Berg, I am severely OCD and your valuable information will help me tons. 🙏🏻
Happy to know that you found the information useful.
Thanks for sharing your wonderful knowledge! I will share this with loved ones that are in need.
Thank you for posting this video! After years of undiagnosed BP2 I sought medical advice. Refused medication and found a wonderful psychologist. Sadly she passed away unexpectedly however… that diagnosis never made it to my medical records 👍. After months of frequent outdoor walks rain or shine, no grains, reducing sugar drastically, daily vitamins, minerals, supplements, probiotics and nutritious food, ALL of my symptoms are TOTALLY gone!!! Your videos plus Dr John Bergman really played a big part in my recovery and now loving living life journey. Don’t eat the standard American diet people! I believe all of the physical, chemical, emotional stresses for 40+ years and genetics finally caused them to express bad and now they are expressing good in my opinion.
Hi Doc,
just wanted to say hello before rushing to work.
19th day of IF now -Marvelous effects!!!
I‘ll get to your website and will subscribe to your program.
Have nice day. 🙏
That's really wonderful. Keep it up!
I love you Dr. Berg! direct to the point and informative!
Happy to know that you found the information useful.
You are one of the true bright lights in the world today, thank you
Thanks. Appreciate these videos a LOT. I tried calling emailing and writing a chat message to your office has not too long ago to try to show some patronage and it didn't go over very well at all. I never ended up really hearing back from anyone either. God Bless.
This is such great info. Wish everyone could find this! Niacin has done wonders for me. I’m looking forward to trying the others! Thank you!!!
What did niacin do?
Reject anything that is not of God or what God say about your life. In Jesus mighty name!!! These man made names are demonic. This is the world system not from God The Father and giver of life to all mankind!
Which type of niacin did you take? I don't like the kind that causes a tingling and burning sensation.
It's my pleasure! Happy to know you found the post useful.
Excellent presentation Dr. Berg! I’ve had bipolar disorder for over 40 years and am still learning as much as I can. If I could add that reducing stressors in one’s life is so important too. I take a minimum dose of valproate because I was allergic to lithium. It works well for me and I can experience a full range of emotions and feel normal. Unfortunately some psychiatrists prescribe 2,3,4 different meds and antipsychotics for their patients. Thus causing them to struggle so much. Thank you again for your knowledge and kindness in helping many.
this is all true. i suffered tremendously from bipolar1 but fasting, herbs, keto, gut/colon cleanse and exercise have helped more than words can explain. right now im working on kicking caffeine.....which is harder than not eating for two weeks! but one thing is certain i will never take those meds again.
@@ray_mond
What’s the manic episode like, do you become quite creative as well as obsessive ? If you don’t mind
@@ray_mond Are you saying
By doing these things that you are not bipolar anymore?
@@davidschefter4160 Oh, I very much am lol but it has gotten SO MUCH better. More than I or anyone would believe. I have not been on meds or institutionalized in years. No anger, less anxiety/depression. Diet plays a HUGE role. Eat garbage, feel like garbage. No milk, No sugar, and no flour. No Veg oil, No MSG (etc etc lol) ...Having a kid also has helped. you have to really WANT it and I think a baby girl gave me that push to really try. I started with meds like Lithium, some helped, some made it worse, (generic brands give side effects) but i only recommend that route temporarily, even though doctors insist for a lifetime. Omegas are a must, which i had none of before. I promise, There is direct correlation with diet. If i drink a soda i will get manic instantly. If I eat junk for more than 3 days I wont be able to sleep. and fasting has changed my life in countless ways. Honestly, back then I never would have believed in a million years i would be comfortable in my own skin. Thats the sad part, no one believes they can get better and listens to the medical doctors.
@@Dedicated_.1 It depends greatly, But the episodes nowadays, since I learned all this knowledge and applied it, are not nearly as bad as they where growing up. They where a living nightmare, and much more frequent. All the time actually. Sometimes fun and creative, but sometimes extreme anxiety or depression. Like pacing all night with racing thoughts, impossible to keep a relationship, EXTREMELY reckless behavior, like consuming enough drugs and alcohol to kill me because i did not care if i wake up or not. ...Most of them went away from fasting/diet/natural soaps etc, but I still have scars from burning and cutting myself. It was insane. People see my creative side, or the fun to be around side, but not the pain & anguish behind the curtain. We hide it. No one would know that we need help. People are always surprised to learn I am bipolar It is a miracle I made it where i am today.
Thank you, excellent! And it's really nice to see the old (video; camera distance) format back.
It's my pleasure! Happy to know you found the post useful.
Great video Dr. Berg. Thank you for all your intervention to help us improve the health of our lives. God bless you and family. 💕
Inositol is really a great nutrient against OCD, anxiety and panic attacks :) would be really great to have a video about this nutrient 🙏
It's probably because it increases insulin sensitivity over time. Similar to why a keto diet helps.
Can you please tekl me. Where do you get inositol from? Like what food etc!
@@NansGlobalKitchen at the vitamin shop
I would like to take inositol, but every time I try it, it always upsets my stomach.
I will check with Dr. Berg about doing a video on this!

Bipolar here. I was on a multitude of medications, suffered so many side effects and really didn't feel much better. I changed my diet, increased vitamins, minerals, probiotics etc, reduced sugar, and workout 5-6 days a week. Oh yes, fasting!..I was able to go off all my meds. Not suggesting this for anyone else, but it worked for me. Dr. Berg is so, so right. 🙂🙂
Hi what vitamins and minerals do you take? And what type of exercise do you do?
@@triciaalv2356 probiotic every morning, Psych told me to take B12...I take St Johns and 5000 D everyday. This is a long with a multi of course. Cardio, weights and machines. Reduce sugar!!!
@@lindar6887 do u take D3 5,000 IU vitamin?
@@lindar6887 oh and u take “St. John’s wort 300mg”?
@@triciaalv2356 yes
I’m finding these talks quite fascinating, learning a lot. Btw I do like the beard!
Thank you so much your videos so informative and helpful , I been changing my eating habits since we started watching these videos.
"Saw Palmetto" Contains all of the Omegas and balances the hormones naturally. The only herb without any know side effects... I suffer from extreme Bypolor depression... Saw Palmetto has litterally saved my life.
Thank you! I have been diagnosed with both of these.....it definitely impacts your life. Sometimes hardcore.
Happy to know that you found the information useful.
Thaaaank you for the video I've been asking for a video for OCD for about a year ♡♡♡
Literally the best doctor I have ever come across. He just gets it. I wish I could find a doctor like him in real life.
🙏I am very grateful. he is real and alive.
🙏
Thank you Dr. Berg🙏🏽 My daughter has Bipolar I & we tackled her gut issues with probiotics. She's on a ton of meds but we're never educated on alternatives that can be added to minimize symptoms & have a better quality of life.
Hi,
Can you please share the name of the probiotics? Thank you kindly
Happy to know that you found the information useful.
Some people, doctors and psychiatrists especially, believe that medications are the only path to salvation.
PTSD has the same symptoms as bipolar. People are often misdiagnosed as having bipolar who don't.
Love your channel. You and Dr Berry have wonderful content.
Happy to know that you found the information useful. Thanks for watching!
Greatly interested in how altering diet can help influence the brain disorders (having had them previously and also knowing the side effects of prescribed drugs).
Thanks for this video, doctor!
Doctor Berg, because of your work, I started to like and enjoy my studies of medicine again, and I stopped being afraid of them. Also, I’ve found a solution for my medical issue, so thank you so much and I’m sending you lots of love and greetings 💛
Very glad to be of help, thanks for watching!
Dr. Berg-I wish you would do a video on the connection between OCD, bipolar, and other mental illnesses and toxoplasma gondii. Ketogenesis could destroy toxo, since it needs to lipogenesis to survive, but it has to be a specific keto diet, like carnivore is probably very effective. I've never seen a study on carnivore diet and toxo, but so many vegetables block the necessary immune response due to salicylates, that this may be why people with bipolar and OCD get better on carnivore.
WE LOVE YOU DR. BERG!!
Not only am I suffering from bipolar disorder, but also obsessive-compulsive disorder, mysophobia, and depression. I used to be very creative, but gradually lost interest in everything. Nowadays, I'm facing the darkest period of my life, waiting for the end, but nobody can understand me.
Thank you Dr berg🙇! Please give a detailed emphasis on OCD it's very overpowering! B1 benfotamine has helped to instill confidence to a certain degree from keeping to repeat compulsions or rituals.
Would appreciate a detailed singular video on OCD & B1 folate relation to OCD
This is what a doctor should be doing. Great info, thankyou!
Happy to know that you found the information useful. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for sharing! This is helping me so much as well as fasting and I’m getting off meds and doing keto !
So cool. Thank you so much for sharing.
Love your videos. Very informative and you suggest home remedies plus what not to consume...
👍
I request you to upload a video on keto diet and intermittent fasting separately. Thank you
Dr. Thank you. God bless. I have an OCD autism coworker. I think this will help
Happy to know that you found the information useful.
I have ocd “pure O” . I’m gonna start the carnivore diet. Why not ! I will follow back up in a few and update with
Results. Thanks for the video Dr.!! Im completely new to all of this👏🏽
It works bro I have the same and 4 years into it . It disappears
Update?
Dr. Berg THANK you for sharing this informstion that was swept under the rug for many years! Hopefully more people will chose this route and get help. As an educator I have seen several young people with those conditions; the pattern begins with poor nutrition, emotional challenges, lack of exercise, overall life style and a big one genetic polymorphisms that not many are aware of. Unfortunalety many of these people can not scape from their environment, so those their genes are constantly expressing.
Quite literally, I had been searching your videos for OCD topic yesteday, and today you happened to post this.
If this is not a bizzare occurence, I don't know what is.
I’ve suffered from OCD my entire life. Years ago I went on a Keto diet and began intermittent/prolonged fasting and saw massive improvements. The diet in combination with CBT and ERP has changed my life beyond measure.
what is ERP?
Very good!
What is ERP?
@@Lissa11638 A type of therapy called Exposure and Response Prevention.
Thiamine seems to do so many cool things related to the brain. Its really not talked about enough.
@@NoName88837 I never heard of a dr in the US giving or recommending a vitamin. It's all about the poison pharmaceuticals here.
Hope this post was helpful!
I haven't seen this video yet, I just saw the title and thumbnail because I'm diagnosed with both of these, but immediately upon clicking the video I can already smell the doctor's office lol
EDIT: Yeah this is basically what my psychiatrist and therapist told me but you said it in a comprehensive quick and shorter way in about 7 minutes. Love the video! Thank you. I hope other people can learn from this or schools have to play one video a day to get kids educated about their own mental health too before it's too late.
So easy to be healthy, story so well told, nice show and my loved doctor!!!😘🥰🤩
Thanks for addressing this subject, Dr.Berg. There are many people out there who don't see having OCD as a problem, but I lost a good friend behind his OCD behavior. It drove a wedge between us because I couldn't and wouldn't subject myself to all of his OCD demands. I pray for him, but I can't be around him.
have you sent him this video?
Everything you are talking about i am doing and its working huge. Thanks Dr Berg.
Very glad to be of help, thanks for watching!
@@Drberg Keep spreading the good word of information. Mainstream doctors are clueless. I have dealt with issues for years and they have no insight.
Hey Doc! Thanks once again for the informative videos. Please do a video on gray hair and nutrients. 😁
Last year i was diagnosed with a type of Bipolar. Thank ypu for this informative information .... will be definately trying some of your suggestions
Very glad to be of help, thanks for watching!
Fixing my diet and losing weight got me off anxiety and depression meds.
Awesome!
After going through COVID-19 last Autumn my boyfriend (33 y. old, sportsman, businessman and a very strong and healthy person) got a very severe psychosis which symptoms have been same to bipolar disorder. He could go out of the car window or see a witch in the woman from the neighbourhood, he thought consantly that he is being followed, he couldn't sleep for 3 weeks straight, not even a minute. He refused getting help from the doctors, hospital, ge threw up any medicine that I would try to give him. This was a nightmare. I was calling psychisatrists, and got no actual help.
The turning point was when my boyfriend agreed to massages- we went to massage studio everyday, and he felt more calm after. I managed to convince him of switching the phone off, and I brought him to the village where he was able to sleep in the night at least for 3-4 hours a day (less light and less sounds made him less worried). Slowly, I convinced him that he needs to find balance in his life, and sport would not be a bad idea. He started walking, and doing breathing exercises, even for 2-3 hours a day. Then everyday he started exercising. I started seeing a change in him and hope came. I followed the path and showed him how great I feel after cold-warm showers, he copied this behaviour, and felt again much better after. He started using sauna and cold showers for even more contrast. He started going everyday for 1- 2 hours to the sun. He strated eating and sleeping and his body was healing. His brain though didn't think clear yet. He was still mixing reality and the visions. This is when I started learning about healthy diet and supplements and came across your videos. I started cooking keto- without the sugars and carbs, all fresh, only high quality ingredients. I included a lot of fish, olive oil, nuts, 100% cocoa, and plenty of different vegetables. My problem was that my boyfriend still did not want to take any medication or supplements in the capsules. So I started doing the morning shakes with all possible supplements in powder or Natural form: Ashwaganda, Ginko, Ginseng, Green Tee, Alges (Chlorella, Spirulina), Cocoa, and more. He considered it a food and not supplement. It started giving big results and I saw mental health improving so much, thinking was sharper, and my boyfriend started to go working everyday for 2-3 hours (he owns a dance studio, so movement and nice music was making it better, we agreed though he will do only dancing classes and no office work, which tired his nervous system still a lot on that point). So far, natural medicine helped very much and my boyfriend was also convinced of that, because he felt so much better after all what we've done for his health.
Then convinced that I go correct way, I somehow managed to convince him to take not powder but high dosis encapsulated vitamins and minerals- I underlined that there are no side-effects as I chose the brand "Sunday Naturals" that has got high-quality natural products. He took daily: Omega Acids+DHA, Magnesium in 7 forms, and for the night extra Magnesium Gluconat to be able to sleep better, Vitamin B Complex, Ginko+Ginseng+Gotu Cola Complex, Anti-Stress Complex that included Ashwaganda, Rhodiola, GABA, and others, as well as Vitamin C, and D+K to improve immune system and reduce inflammation in general. We did Korean Ginseng mixed with Green Tee everyday in the morning.
He took this this for over 4 months. In the summer he made a break in supplements and felt very good.
Now it passed one year, my boyfriend feels very good, leads a company, works intensively. His mood is constant and good. He is also aware now that what he saw and believed have been only hallucinations and he distanced himself from that. He is fully into the life here and now.
But he keeps his healthy lifestyle routine, does his daily exercises, we keep the diet, do massage once in a week or two,
Now in Autumn we bought again the set of natural supplements.
I want to say thank you Dr Berg, for sharing your knowledge, without your videos, it would be not possible to lead again a completely normal life.
Wow what an amazing person you are for helping your boyfriend through that and finding different ways to help him overcome it. Really inspiring. Thanks for sharing

I'm Digging that beard Dr berg!!! Keep it growing doc
It's sad that pharma companies are not interested in gut biome research
Why should they..the pharmaceuticals cause the problems ..
Big Pharma loses money when people become healthy.
I spent years on lithium when every was healed when i was more careful with potassium and zinc.
Then omega 3 intake was next.
Once these threw issues were addressed no more bipolar dosorder.
How much zinc, potassium and omega 3 did you take
@@debnazario7226 just done with diet, more green leafy vegetables,salmon, sea food like muscles, red meat. Fish at least two times per week.
This is fantastic! Thank you!
Thank you... this video is greatly appreciated. I have the combination... OCPD and bipolar, mainly mania.
I'll try the probiotic!! Unfortunately we don't get all the products locally.

My Wife recommended me to listen to you. I am struggle with severe ocd, adhd, intrusive thoughts and ruminations about selected events, circumstances and wounds inflicted on me by certain people….I’ve been taken all the B Vitamins and Vitamin D and anything extra you’ve mentioned.
I want to say thank you so much 😊. It’s been two weeks and I can already feel the difference and less of those issues. They are still there but I am hoping by within 4 months or so it may go away and less by a great percentage.
I can update you and the progress but the vitamins you pushed has saved my brain. You are God send.
Thank you and blessings.
I’m struggling with the same, do you mind posting which ones you take exactly?
@@sadie4705 Sure! I recommend you take Alive Ultra Potency ( 2 a day ), B1 (500mg) , Niacin (500mg) and Omega 3s (2000+mg)...give it 2 months results will come :)
