I completely changed my diet six months ago based on nationally recommended guidelines, but it only made my health worse. It wasn’t until I read 'The 23 Former Doctor Truths' that I realized doing the opposite of what the government advises can actually make a difference. No wonder the doctor who wrote it left their career-speaking the truth often challenges the system!
I am doing keto and intermittent fasting to help me get healthy. It is working really well. My doctor does not understand anything about how I want to get healthy again. Thank you Dr. Berg, you have helped me so much.
My wife self diagnosed herself with thyroid gland tumor and went under surgery to remove it which changed her life. Doctors couldn't tell the reason for the symptoms she had and thought it was psychological. You should never consider your doctor's opinion as the final answer
I told my doctor I went keto to get healthy... and she proceeded to lecture me about how bad it is to do that and how I needed to lose weight "the healthy way". I fired her and got a new doctor. 😂
@@SpamMouse I hear ya, but studies are sketchy to me. I was asking because coffee does increase blood sugar. I was wondering if it's bad enough to keep t2 around. If he answered yes, that would've told me coffee might not spike blood sugar enough to stop drinking it.
Eat healthy, exercise, take vitamin tabs, eat black garlic and fermented cabbage such as Sauerkraut & kimchi, take one spoon of extra virgin olive oil and apple cider vinegar, drink kefir yogurt drink & matcha green tea and sleep well. That's what I've done and just celebrated my 60th birthday lately. 😊😊😊
Hi, glad you asked! A daily spoonful of olive oil may improve heart health, blood sugar control, and joint pain. Here is the information! 👉 ua-cam.com/video/Gx0dnHZuDmo/v-deo.html

Diabetic from last 25 yrs and left Sita glumet 50/500+ diamicron MR60, after watching videos on UA-cam. I m on one meal daily with tea two times, but my blood sugar remains 200, 188, @@Drberg
My eyes are literally watering with relief. I'm 52 and actually _never_ ate a terrible diet high in sugar or overeating and 2 years ago I upped my game to heal a histamine intolerance by adopting a "severe" keto diet with intermittent and prolonged (3-7 days) fasting regularly. 2 months ago I got my A1C tested and it was 6.0, *_pre-diabetic?!_* I was in a panic. The doctor said, "It's probably genetic, don't worry about it," but I WAS worried about it! I was doing everything practically perfectly and healed my histamine problem and was apparently on my way to diabetes?! The worst thing about it was that there's _nothing_ I can do to "improve it" since I'm already eating so healthfully; no hidden pitfalls to fix. I asked AI if an A1C can be falsely elevated to that degree by a longer red blood cell lifespan, and it confirmed, yes, it can. Thank you Dr. Berg!!!
I was pre diabetic before, at the time I was 52 kg 5 foot 3, just losing 2 kg over the course of a year by getting more of my calories from vegetables I was no longer. I'm in the super healthy zone. I think I lost 2 kg in 3 months or so by switching to more plant based diet but didn't get blood work checked until one year later. You want to eat less noodles, rice, sugary food, more vegetables, fruits.
@@hteacave I'm thrilled you turned your pre-diabetes around! As far as my situation goes, though, read my post, again. I'm thin, muscular, very active, and have eaten organic, whole foods for a very long time. Finally, Dr. Berg finally explained my *FALSE* A1C reading by revealing that longer red blood cell lifespan is very likely the cause because I'm SO healthy.
@@hteacave Not sure why my first response got deleted, but you could re-read my OP if you want...I have nothing left to improve, sincerely, and didn't even have a poor diet my whole life in the first place. So, Dr. Berg explaining that it's my _improved health_ that is causing a _false A1C reading_ was a big relief. I'm happy for your reclaiming your health. Best to you.
I had every single symptom mentioned (and more) during the latter stages of vegetarianism. Been keto and now carnivore for 2 years. Every day is a healing day for me. I feel like a new (better than ever) man. Praise God. 🙏
Hii, for how long were you vegetarian? I've been vegetarian for 13 years now and I don't have these symptoms or maybe just 2 (brain fog and blurry eyes occasionally)
@@megmodaff5989 Me neither. I will try to find a better diet if I have health problems but still vegetarian. I don't see myself eating meat never again in my life
I have clearer understanding of how the body works now than when I was in nursing school. Biochemistry, Nutrition, Anatomy and Physiology, Microbiology were like pieces of jigzaw puzzle . Dr Berg with his method of simple, to the point explanation has done better for me in terms of being more in tuned to my body' s " manual of function 😅 than years of academic schooling.Thanks a million Dr. Berg.🎉
The system is designed to silo health workers into different parts of the body so there isn’t a wholistic view of the body and general health. The system is designed to pump as many drugs etc into us to suppress symptoms. When has a Dr ever asked what is the patient eating? Modern medicine is disease management they are not aiming for cures. Better still, let’s eat a species appropriate diet that gives us the minimal chance of getting sick in the first place! Then medicine will be left with the minority of conditions that it can get its teeth stuck into and resolving. Atm it’s a conveyor belt.
No offense but it's not shocking to me to hear nurses and even doctors aren't given holistic health education(looking at the entire body and not separate conditions or structures). That seems to be the issue in my opinion. Well done thinking outside the box!
Just imagine if every MD had Dr Bergs knowledge who is a chiropractor by trade! His knowledge should be baked into MD training as standard modules of their training. MD’s get only a couple of hours in nutrition in 7 years of education.
I love how you let us know of the same problems you had in your youth as many of us have now. You are such a charmingly modest man, despite your brilliance.❤ I just had a steak, asparagus and tomato for lunch and then spoiled it all by having chocolate. I'm drinking gurmar tea, hoping it will counteract the sugar level.😅
I used to have big sugar swings with horrible symptoms. Since I started a Keto diet with intermittent fasting I've attained a BMI of 21, my weight is now what it was when I was a college athlete and I'm feeling optimistic about things in general. Those are good things that we all deserve.
My Nephew had a level of 634 upon his first diagnosis, and said he had felt fine. I just said it is so gradual that you didn't notice it going up. Some people go into a diabetic coma at that level. He is a big guy though.
@@marinaulmane1438 ... Before, I was drinking a sugary cappuccino drink 1st thing in the morning and that spiked my blood sugar, giving me the blurred vision.

Happy Birthday to you! I have gone from 185 pounds to 155 in a year. My main goal was not to lose weight, but to get healthy and feel good. It is now easy for me to walk because my legs don't feel like lead. I wake up most morning and actually want to get out of bed because it is so wonderful to wake up without a splitting headache.

Hi Eric, Bhavesh (Patel, MD) here.... great point about the A1c and increased lifespan of RBCs. The A1c is calculated on the idea that RBCs live 90 days, but if they live longer, more glycation, thus, higher A1c... The other thing that happens is LOW A1c and HIGH fasting glucose, which is due to gluconeogenesis (liver secreting glucose into bloodstream) when sugar levels drop during fasting.
@Whattheheck829 fyi, lots of doctors don't call each other Dr. So and so. They talk to each other like a friend would by calling them by their first name or nick name.
Folks, absolutely no DISrespect to Dr. Berg. I learn a lot from him. If you look at my punctuation, I was really just using my first name and put my last name and title in parentheses just to indicate we are colleagues. I’m very informal and use my first name with my patients. But good point. Maybe I’ll try a different way next time :-)
@@bhaveshpatel9626 I assumed you were applauding him and I think you truly were but your follow up comment said no respect to him. I’m assuming that means no disrespect. I was a little confused there. I’m pretty sure you mean to be respectful. Dr. Berg is an amazing resource here on UA-cam and within the health community in general. Thank you, Dr. Patel for your input .
Thank you very much, Dr. Berg. I think the real danger is that the signs of high blood sugar appear at night, where no one notices them. Such as frequent urination at night, as the body tries to get rid of excess glucose. This can lead to dehydration, causing dry mouth and increased thirst. The person may also suffer from insomnia, waking up feeling tired. Headaches can occur as a result of blood sugar fluctuations. Signs include Others may feel unusually hungry despite eating enough food before bedtime. Some individuals may experience blurred vision when going to the bathroom at night. In more severe cases, there may be nausea or dizziness. These symptoms may worsen if left untreated, which underscores the importance of monitoring blood sugar levels during the night.
Just dinner (red meat+green salad with fresh portobello mushrooms and avocado +extra virgin olive oil in glass container+vinegar), maybe once every 2 weeks add a dinner dessert of strawberries or blueberries, and during the day just one coffee with walnuts/pecans/macadamias. I've been doing it for 2 years, life changer, It works!
I'm currently caring for my elderly diabetic dad. I can not convince him to do this! I do feed him a lot of my keto foods...especially, when I first started cooking for him, but his doctor will absolutely have me locked up if he loses much weight at this point in his life. Now I'm in a spiral since my youngest sister moved in with her two young daughters and fills this house full of junk food. His sugar has been way high again and I've regained 15 lbs! I do realize it's my own fault... Prayers requested for me to regain my will power. I just wish I was capable of convincing people to follow suit.
Reading a great book right now called Good Energy by Casey Means, MD who is right Along the same mindset of Dr. Berg and Dr. Pradip Jamnades (sp!). KUDOS & Thanks to all you practitioners who share with us about how food can either heal or kill the body!!! It’s our decision to WAKE UP or Die (my words). Prayers for all of us 🤗🙏
You're so generous to share your thoughts and i feel your genuine concern about everyone's health and wellness. Thank you so much, doctor! God bless you and your team!❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🇵🇭
Thank you for calling this out As i have R athritis and sugar aggravares to the point thats just not funny Eat healthy as it really does matter and make a difference Thank you again Merry Christmas Dr B
MERRY CHRISTMAS DR. ERIC BERG, Happy to be your fan and follower for the past 5 years now!.. Stay safe, happy and healthy! Have a Prosperous New Year too... ❤😊❤❤
Same here! I just searched google to see if a longer red blood cell lifespan can cause A1C to be 6.0 in a person who eats a low-carb, healthy diet, and it said YES and it's known as a "falsely elevated A1C." I'm SO RELIEVED to know this! My MD said, "It's probably genetic" and not to worry about it, but I WAS worried about it! How could I eat essentially perfectly and have a "pre-diabetic" A1C?! THANK YOU, DR. BERG, INDEED!!!
I have read many books, I listened to many UA-cam videos by many of the world's leading gurus and health experts but nothing came close to the hidden herbs by anette ray. I recommend everyone giving it a read.
Okay he's a doctor of some type. He's very open about the circumstances of his life that led him to where he's at now. If he had to work to find the information initially, how tough will it be for us? Us would be the average Joe or the average Jane. Thanks to the good doctor here not that tough. We can just tune in to his channel and get a wide assortment of information covering different health topics. We should be a very appreciative lovely effort that's a good doctor puts into his videos. Thank you. 👍
Doctor of Chiropractic & I trust them more than most MD’s as the medical schools are backed by Big Pharma & only care about $$ & keeping us Managed NOT getting us healthy!
Anything the WHO recommends, I now do the opposite. A book 'Health and Beauty Mastery' by Julian Bannett exposes so many shocking truths. I completely changed my habits.
Great video, agree about A1C, not always the best indicator. Fasting plasma glucose should be assessed as a confirmatory or a fructosamine level. I instruct most of my patients with Diabetes to decrease carbs to no more 40 grams a day, but each patient need is individual.
For those who have an insulin issue , it is a battle ! As a type 2 diabetic , I can , with medication , stay within those magic numbers but not without sacrificing many foods I enjoy ! The diet that is required for me makes it difficult for my partner to shop at the grocery store ! Imagine how difficult it makes it when they are buying groceries for an entire family who do not have the same issues ! ?
No sacrifice. Really ?? Your just addicted to sugar and carbs. Period. Just saying. If you will slowly cut way back on carbs and do more carnivore diet , you will be satiated to go longer without food and therefore do intermittent fasting easier. Then the 16 18, or 20 hour fast get easier. Don't flip a switch. Take several weeks. Lots of variables for everyone. Look at bergs fasting keto videos. Eat fatty meats , eggs, salmon, butter on all foods. Use tallow and lard to cook with. Go more carnivore type and eat low carb veggies like cabbage , some greens. After fasting much more you won't crave sugar or processed foods. I'm 71 and feel better than ever. Good luck
The first symptom of excessive urination is true, i was consuming 21 grams of sugar daily to the point that i had to make multiple trips to the washroom in a day. Subsequently i reduced my sugar intake and didn’t have to go as often. Miraculous on how little changes can go a long way.
Too much suggar = blindness, in a moment with lots of headache and I fall to the floor, that happened 2 me once , so I stopped eating suggar & sweet stuff with suggar and got honey instead, then half of it, & then half of the half until all gone, I was 25! Now I am 64 no prediabetez anylonger! & it was not me who wanted to eat carbs & sweets but the fungus in my body, and in my stomach, now no anymore after the last month that I got 2 cloves with little bit of coconut oil in the morning with an empty stomach, no bad mood, nor pain in my stomach due to „hunger“ nor bad mood now just 1 cup of clove tea once in a while if the „hunger pain“comes back 😳😃🤗 thnx doc.
I deliver babies. Pregnant women who drop their blood sugar during a diabetes screening test almost always have big babies, even if "pass" their test and are not diagnosed with gestational diabetes.
JFK Jr got some of the food companies running around thinking hard about changing their ingredients...I started seeing them in the local stores changing prices and buy 2 cereals get 1 free....I bet the FDA workers doesn't sleep good anymore, I glad for RFK Jr. getting this out in the open time will tell
Growing up on those cereals in the 80s I ended up extremely deficient in b1. The sugar I guess and lack of nutrients. My sister and I both have health problems and my mom still thinks the cereal was fine bc it was "fortified" it's basically all we ate along with processed Lunchables and other crap. We're lucky to be alive
Well explained about hyperglycemia .howerver there is nothing v serious going to happen to patients immediately.Hypoglycemia is more serious an emergency.
Doc just told me I have prediabetes. A1c is 6.3. The thing is, I have a really good diet and I'm not overweight, never been overweight in my life. I see lots of advice for people who are overweight, but I'm normal weight, on the thin side. So what does someone like me do?
I’ve been feeling bad lately, crash randomly. Found out you can get a $20 blood glucose monitor with 50 test strips at Walmart, no script needed. My blood glucose levels are higher than they should be. Going to watch it closely.
@ last night after I bought it, it was 104, which was after about a 24 hour fast (OMAD). At wake this morning, it was 85. If you have a spare $20, get yourself a Relion Premier. I figure a week of testing will help narrow down why I am crashing and craving.
I am a weight trainer and have been since I was 13 - heading for 71. I try and keep my carbs between 75-100 grams/day . I find if I get my carbs too low my workouts suffer hugely - drops my strength done by about 5%-7%. I am hoping that the prolonged burn I get from the weight training takes care of of the carbs.
I completely changed my diet six months ago based on nationally recommended guidelines, but it only made my health worse. It wasn’t until I read 'The 23 Former Doctor Truths' that I realized doing the opposite of what the government advises can actually make a difference. No wonder the doctor who wrote it left their career-speaking the truth often challenges the system!
Government exists to harm people. It wants no other purpose.

Hi Eric, Bhavesh (Patel, MD) here.... great point about the A1c and increased lifespan of RBCs. The A1c is calculated on the idea that RBCs live 90 days, but if they live longer, more glycation, thus, higher A1c... The other thing that happens is LOW A1c and HIGH fasting glucose, which is due to gluconeogenesis (liver secreting glucose into bloodstream) when sugar levels drop during fasting.
I believe he knows Dr. Berg. How much more respect can he show than watching his videos?
@Whattheheck829 fyi, lots of doctors don't call each other Dr. So and so. They talk to each other like a friend would by calling them by their first name or nick name.
@@Panthers89Fan9000000 true!
Folks, absolutely no DISrespect to Dr. Berg. I learn a lot from him. If you look at my punctuation, I was really just using my first name and put my last name and title in parentheses just to indicate we are colleagues. I’m very informal and use my first name with my patients. But good point. Maybe I’ll try a different way next time :-)
@@bhaveshpatel9626 I assumed you were applauding him and I think you truly were but your follow up comment said no respect to him. I’m assuming that means no disrespect. I was a little confused there. I’m pretty sure you mean to be respectful. Dr. Berg is an amazing resource here on UA-cam and within the health community in general.
Thank you, Dr. Patel for your input .
Thank you very much, Dr. Berg. I think the real danger is that the signs of high blood sugar appear at night, where no one notices them. Such as frequent urination at night, as the body tries to get rid of excess glucose. This can lead to dehydration, causing dry mouth and increased thirst. The person may also suffer from insomnia, waking up feeling tired. Headaches can occur as a result of blood sugar fluctuations. Signs include Others may feel unusually hungry despite eating enough food before bedtime. Some individuals may experience blurred vision when going to the bathroom at night. In more severe cases, there may be nausea or dizziness. These symptoms may worsen if left untreated, which underscores the importance of monitoring blood sugar levels during the night.
I wish there were more doctors like you Dr.Berg
God Bless you
Didn’t know that diet adjustment impacts the longevity of the RBC, that’s pretty cool stuff Doc. Keep up the healthy fight!
Thanks Dr..
Just dinner (red meat+green salad with fresh portobello mushrooms and avocado +extra virgin olive oil in glass container+vinegar), maybe once every 2 weeks add a dinner dessert of strawberries or blueberries, and during the day just one coffee with walnuts/pecans/macadamias. I've been doing it for 2 years, life changer, It works!
My Doctor is looking so handsome and young today Mashallah ❤ be alive we are learning life from you Sir
Agreed!
Great tips for learning to read my body. Thank you 🙏

Thank you Dr. Berg! I had all the signs of Diabetes and didn't recognize them. My A1C is currently 5.8, down from 14.7.
I'm currently caring for my elderly diabetic dad. I can not convince him to do this! I do feed him a lot of my keto foods...especially, when I first started cooking for him, but his doctor will absolutely have me locked up if he loses much weight at this point in his life. Now I'm in a spiral since my youngest sister moved in with her two young daughters and fills this house full of junk food. His sugar has been way high again and I've regained 15 lbs! I do realize it's my own fault...
Prayers requested for me to regain my will power. I just wish I was capable of convincing people to follow suit.
🙏
You will get yr girl power bk 🙏
Reading a great book right now called Good Energy by Casey Means, MD who is right Along the same mindset of Dr. Berg and Dr. Pradip Jamnades (sp!). KUDOS & Thanks to all you practitioners who share with us about how food can either heal or kill the body!!! It’s our decision to WAKE UP or Die (my words). Prayers for all of us 🤗🙏
Than you, always! And good morning to you!
And that’s why you are my favourite doctor, nicely detailed. Wish my Gp could explain it like that 👍
You're so generous to share your thoughts and i feel your genuine concern about everyone's health and wellness. Thank you so much, doctor! God bless you and your team!❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🇵🇭
Thank you for calling this out
As i have R athritis and sugar aggravares to the point thats just not funny
Eat healthy as it really does matter and make a difference
Thank you again
Merry Christmas Dr B
Love the short video format, lots of valuable info in a short video.
Thanks for your feedback!
Just ate l.reuteri yoghurt for first time. After watching your vid on it. Yum. Hope it helps me!
Thank you Dr Berg for sharing this video. May God blessed you and your family!
No problem. Wishing you the same.
MERRY CHRISTMAS DR. ERIC BERG, Happy to be your fan and follower for the past 5 years now!.. Stay safe, happy and healthy! Have a Prosperous New Year too... ❤😊❤❤
I watch on a daily, new, old, all good video messages, to keep me focused.
My A1c is higher because the blood cells live longer! I wondered. Thanks for great info as always.
Same here! I just searched google to see if a longer red blood cell lifespan can cause A1C to be 6.0 in a person who eats a low-carb, healthy diet, and it said YES and it's known as a "falsely elevated A1C." I'm SO RELIEVED to know this! My MD said, "It's probably genetic" and not to worry about it, but I WAS worried about it! How could I eat essentially perfectly and have a "pre-diabetic" A1C?! THANK YOU, DR. BERG, INDEED!!!
Looooove this topic ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!! Thank you 🙏🏾
It's my pleasure!
I have read many books, I listened to many UA-cam videos by many of the world's leading gurus and health experts but nothing came close to the hidden herbs by anette ray. I recommend everyone giving it a read.
No
Okay he's a doctor of some type. He's very open about the circumstances of his life that led him to where he's at now. If he had to work to find the information initially, how tough will it be for us? Us would be the average Joe or the average Jane. Thanks to the good doctor here not that tough. We can just tune in to his channel and get a wide assortment of information covering different health topics. We should be a very appreciative lovely effort that's a good doctor puts into his videos. Thank you. 👍
Doctor of Chiropractic & I trust them more than most MD’s as the medical schools are backed by Big Pharma & only care about $$ & keeping us Managed NOT getting us healthy!
Thank you Doc for sharing this video 😊
Great video to start the day off with, and make better diet decisions. I’m a diabetic, and I need all the advice I can get. Thank you!
Dr Berg is my favorite doctor! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience!
Anything the WHO recommends, I now do the opposite. A book 'Health and Beauty Mastery' by Julian Bannett exposes so many shocking truths. I completely changed my habits.
😂😂😂😂smart
me too and also read "Undoctored"

Thank you, I seem to be gaining & gaining and just thought it was me in post menopause, but this info helped!
Always clear and informative information. Thank you ❤
Dr Berg ... Thank you, I have learned so much. You are the best. God bless you.
You are an excellent educator in natural remedies ! Thank you so much Dr. Berg and please keep saving us….
You are very welcome! I'm glad that you found the information helpful!
Thank you for your sharing this ❤❤❤
Great video, agree about A1C, not always the best indicator. Fasting plasma glucose should be assessed as a confirmatory or a fructosamine level. I instruct most of my patients with Diabetes to decrease carbs to no more 40 grams a day, but each patient need is individual.
This was very helpful 😊
Great video dear doctor.❤
Excellent breakdown, Doc👊🏾
Thanks for the info 👍🏾
For those who have an insulin issue , it is a battle !
As a type 2 diabetic , I can , with medication , stay within those magic numbers but not without sacrificing many foods I enjoy !
The diet that is required for me makes it difficult for my partner to shop at the grocery store !
Imagine how difficult it makes it when they are buying groceries for an entire family who do not have the same issues ! ?
Try intermittent fasting and cutting carbs. Of course, talk with your doctor about it.
No sacrifice. Really ?? Your just addicted to sugar and carbs. Period. Just saying. If you will slowly cut way back on carbs and do more carnivore diet , you will be satiated to go longer without food and therefore do intermittent fasting easier. Then the 16 18, or 20 hour fast get easier. Don't flip a switch. Take several weeks. Lots of variables for everyone. Look at bergs fasting keto videos. Eat fatty meats , eggs, salmon, butter on all foods. Use tallow and lard to cook with.
Go more carnivore type and eat low carb veggies like cabbage , some greens. After fasting much more you won't crave sugar or processed foods.
I'm 71 and feel better than ever.
Good luck
God bless you ❤❤
The first symptom of excessive urination is true, i was consuming 21 grams of sugar daily to the point that i had to make multiple trips to the washroom in a day. Subsequently i reduced my sugar intake and didn’t have to go as often. Miraculous on how little changes can go a long way.
THANKYOU for everything!!!!.
Wishing you a happy Christmas 😊
You are welcome, Sharon. Happy Christmas to you as well!
Thanks for all wonderful videos you make.
Excellent video, thank you!🤗
Too much suggar = blindness, in a moment with lots of headache and I fall to the floor, that happened 2 me once , so I stopped eating suggar & sweet stuff with suggar and got honey instead, then half of it, & then half of the half until all gone, I was 25! Now I am 64 no prediabetez anylonger! & it was not me who wanted to eat carbs & sweets but the fungus in my body, and in my stomach, now no anymore after the last month that I got 2 cloves with little bit of coconut oil in the morning with an empty stomach, no bad mood, nor pain in my stomach due to „hunger“ nor bad mood now just 1 cup of clove tea once in a while if the „hunger pain“comes back 😳😃🤗 thnx doc.
Thank You Dr. Berg, for Watching out for Health and Well Being?❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you Dr.berg 🙏
I deliver babies. Pregnant women who drop their blood sugar during a diabetes screening test almost always have big babies, even if "pass" their test and are not diagnosed with gestational diabetes.
Thanks Doc
JFK Jr got some of the food companies running around thinking hard about changing their ingredients...I started seeing them in the local stores changing prices and buy 2 cereals get 1 free....I bet the FDA workers doesn't sleep good anymore, I glad for RFK Jr. getting this out in the open time will tell
Yeah, that's so great! No more fluoride in the water and vaccines. That's sounds really smart.
You MUST mean RFK Jr?
It's about time
Since companies like Kelloggs already makes cereals without food colorings, it should be easy to flip American cereals.
Growing up on those cereals in the 80s I ended up extremely deficient in b1. The sugar I guess and lack of nutrients. My sister and I both have health problems and my mom still thinks the cereal was fine bc it was "fortified" it's basically all we ate along with processed Lunchables and other crap. We're lucky to be alive
Thanks
Thank You Very Much! ❤
You're welcome. Thanks for watching the video. Stay safe.
Thank you.
Thanks
Well explained about hyperglycemia .howerver there is nothing v serious going to happen to patients immediately.Hypoglycemia is more serious an emergency.
Dr berg has improved my body composition more than any physical fitness trainer out there
I am completely
off carbs and feel so good…I had really bad headaches. I had a really bad infection and could not get better.
Doc just told me I have prediabetes. A1c is 6.3. The thing is, I have a really good diet and I'm not overweight, never been overweight in my life. I see lots of advice for people who are overweight, but I'm normal weight, on the thin side. So what does someone like me do?
Lowcarb, intermittent fasting
I'd love to see a follow up on the guy you had on that had cancer and was self treating by restricting sugar, etc. Is he doing ok?
Sir can you make a video on vitamin a dose ?
The required dosage depends on individual situations. See his videos on vitamin A, on symptoms of deficiency, etc.
I’ve been feeling bad lately, crash randomly. Found out you can get a $20 blood glucose monitor with 50 test strips at Walmart, no script needed.
My blood glucose levels are higher than they should be. Going to watch it closely.
I thought about doing this too. What were your levels?
@ last night after I bought it, it was 104, which was after about a 24 hour fast (OMAD). At wake this morning, it was 85.
If you have a spare $20, get yourself a Relion Premier. I figure a week of testing will help narrow down why I am crashing and craving.
Thank you, Dr Berg ❤👍🏻
Most welcome! Anytime!
Thanks ❤
I am a weight trainer and have been since I was 13 - heading for 71. I try and keep my carbs between 75-100 grams/day . I find if I get my carbs too low my workouts suffer hugely - drops my strength done by about 5%-7%. I am hoping that the prolonged burn I get from the weight training takes care of of the carbs.
Thank you so much, Dr. Berg ❤
You're a wonderful health professional. Thank you so much for all your insightful content, Dr Berg 💯
Dr Berg said if your liver is not working properly then your thyroid won’t work properly. Am smiling no meds for me. Thank you Dr Berg.
We've went very low carb. 2 years later we feel better than ever. 💙
And definitely do not take advice from our overweight doctor any longer. 🌞
FELIZ AÑO DR¡¡¡¡
UN CORDIAL SALUDO
Thank you Dr. Berg👑🏆
