I reversed my depression, anxiety and ADHD. It has taken me 3 years to clean out my brain and give it the nutrients it needs. (It’s now 4/2018) The primary thing I focused on was correcting my leaky gut. I used lots of homemade bone broth and lots of high quality fats. I feel like a new person. Sometimes I’m embarrassed by who I “was.” I had such little self-control and made a lot of goofy choices, despite being in my late 40’s. It’s wild how simple it has been to reverse diseases with some awesome education and taking my health into my own hands.
im aninah start taking sleeping pills seens 10YERAR AGO BJTA I WANT TO BE NORMAL LIKE B4 IN MY LIFE I SOME BODY CAN TALK ME TO AVOID SLEEPILLS I REALLY WA T TO QUIT TO SLEEPING PILL I HOME SOME ONE CAN HELP ME
THE BERG. Kicking problems to the curb. If he gets cancelled we will all put together a channel just for this man to continue what is happening here. Can't imagine the outrage for stopping his flow.
Not as many of those left, since Rpckefe11er & Carnegie took over medicine. Before then, there were lots of Dr. Bergs, but they were shut down, squeezed out, run off, or worse. Up until recent times, there are still those with cancer cures, who have disappeared, or their cure protocols stolen, patented by the FĐA, and locked away.
He is absolutely right about fatigue feeling like depression. I remember having just moved house and all of a sudden, the afternoon after I'd unpacked all my stuff, feeling terribly depressed. I wasn't unhappy with the new place. No traumatic events. The problem truly was that I was tired, had barely slept the night before, and the fatigue felt like depression. The next morning, when I woke up after a good night's sleep, I felt great again. It was shocking to me.
Wow! It's great you saw this video and made that connection (me too!) Maybe next time I won't jump to conclusions that I'm falling into the dreaded depression again! X
This is so true. I noticed over time that when I'm depressed it's because I'm exhausted and I get rest/sleep and feel so much better. My mood and motivation a lot of times I've realized are directly connected to my energy levels. A lot of what Dr.Berg says correlates with my personal experiences
1. 4700 mg potassium daily 2. B1 nutritional yeast Super Nutrients brand 3. Calcium carbonate avoid!Calcium citrate cheese plain yogurt is good. 4. Omega 3 fish oil, high quality 5. Sea kelp for thyroid iodine deficiency 6. Blood sugars-protein breakfast egg/meat.never skip. 7. Kale shake in the morning great 8. Cortisol-walking,sleeping great 9. Check thyroid if feeling apathetic and not care 10. Sleep 8hrs
Thank you so much for this, I have been telling this to people for years ( not the in-depth that you gave which I did not know) and they don't want to hear the truth. Years ago I went to doctors for what I felt was deep depression, anxiety attacks, fatigue. I could not eat out my hands would shake there were many times I could not even leave my house out of fears to go out in public. I was put on 3 meds plus a sleep aid. On a 600 mile trip to visit my parents, I left my meds behind, before my mom could get them shipped to me, for three days I went into a terrible drug withdraws just like a drug addict would go through. By the time my meds came all I remember is looking at them and dumping them in the garbage and said: " Never Again". I moved back to a town where I was "Happy Again", starting exercising like I used to, ate more nutritious food like I used to. I never needed the meds which made me zombie-like. I needed me back. I'm telling you Dr. Berg knows what he is talking about, this info is life-saving.
That “accident “ of leaving your meds behind was straight from heaven. I have learned to just tell people they must do their own work to solve their health issues, point them to Dr Berg and leave it at that. Most won’t and continue to take the meds and run to the doctor. I avoid traditional doctors like the plague. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Funny thing. I have been diagnosed for 15 years with Manic Depression and social anxiety. I actually have been using this method that you have mentioned in your video and honestly I haven't had depression and my anxiety has been nonexistent.
Gosh I get brain fog all the time.amazing .and I'm always stressed and get a lot of anxiety .guess I'll have to change my diet .thanks Dr berg your videos are amazing gail.
Potassium is very important to calm the heart down. B1 vit. Helps with restlessness Best is nutrition yeast. Calcium helps you rest, relax Best is calcium citrate, fish oils get a higher quality one, Iodine from a sea cal source..Tou want to make sure your breakfast is protein (egg, meat)You will feel so much better. And get sleep 8hrs Not 7hrs. Lack of sleep will cause all kinds of issues.
Wow, after only watching your newer videos, seeing your "glow up" is such a massive testament to keto/IF. You look so much healthier and even younger in your new videos. Right on Dr berg
I've experienced the effect of good choices, whenever I feel tired, I make a smoothie 70% vegetables and the rest fruits, plus moringa or barley grass and voilà! Newfound energy. Coconut water also works for me.
I would love to see you make a series of videos on Children's health and how food effects their mood, attitude, sleeping patterns, etc...... Thanks for such great videos.
Hello, I'm a firefighter paramedic and I can't tell you how much this diet has not only decreased my weight but decreased anxiety on emergency incidents. My clarity on scene and my focus on some of the most demanding calls have greatly improved. My sleep has improved, snoring is gone, blood pressure is down. I'm excited to see what changes are on the horizon. I watch all your videos and have been eating super clean. I'm doing one meal per day at noon, and occasionally I eat a second time no later than 4:00pm. Brain fog is subsiding. I was rear-ended at work and needed surgery on my neck, I gained weight, but now I'm getting it under control. Lets hope this is the reason
This was very helpful and inspiring. I'm more than willing to change my eating habits and sleeping habits to be a more productive person in countless ways. Thanks a lot.
Great video... I went to see a psychologist about my anxiety and first thing she asked ''do you want us to put you on medication?'' I was shocked! Instead of that, I'm now going to worry management and changing my diet and doing yoga to improve my mental health
What an awesome video. My depression went away after 10 years but I still get night time anxiety after gym which makes it more. Now I eat 2 - 3 cups of vegetables a day and take a magnesium supplement. I loved living in the states but the food tasted totally different from African food because ours is still very much in its natural state. Thank you for educating us.
Just love the info from your channel. My family and I have tremendous respect for you . I live in Virginia as well and tried to make an appointment at your office for my sister who's 36 years old and has MS. within 13 years she just had her second attack, unfortunately you are not seeing patients no more . Waiting for an exclusive video on MS immune disease treatment and advice from you . Thanks for this huge service you are doing by sharing your knowledge with us . I have done many life changing habits since following your channel, and seen great benefits .
Thank you for these videos. Ive been combing through these trying to find how to cure my daughters anxiety. Her problem is that she does not feel hunger and therefore goes for unreasonable amounts of time not eating and will even go as far as to refuse food. I thought I had it down with basic electrolytes and B complex until I saw this clip about probiotics. Another step in the right direction
Sugar definitely affects your mood. Dr. Berg, you have single-handedly improved my quality of life with your diet/ nutritional advice, more than any one or all others advise, combined. Thank you so much!🙏🏼I really appreciate you.
Hi, what dose of k2 with D3 should I give my 10yr old 82lbs. Her having yellow teeth since kindergarten and her school friends make fun of her. She is a picky eater. Doesn't like milk but I have got her to have some in cereal the milk 1000 percent grass fed thats organic. It gives her potassium to.
I can't stop saying thank u Dr. After all these years now I know the reason behind my suffering from my weak depressed body I used to take too much coffee to keep my self active.... But now I know how to deal with the problem correctly Its my bad eating habits I rarley include vegetable in my meals Eating to much sugar and carbohydrates....
For potassium we can go for garlic 🧄 natural resources and one more thing we can add-on to our diet is magnesium rich food(magnesium is universally reduce human stress)
How ironic that depression is seen as the cause of many symptoms such as lethargy and insomnia. There are only very few causes to this type of predicament and it mostly has to do with unattended stress. We live in a very traumatic world, pressures of all kinds (work, family, relationships, etc). Ultimately, it is each one of us that must take the lead in our health because no one else will. Once we empower ourselves and decide to learn about nutrition and health, we might have a fighting chance.
My grandson is eight years old and he is out of control. His parents are exhausted and beside themselves and I’ve been begging them not to medicate him. He is such a wonderful little boy and he is in the gifted classes at school but when he gets home his parents are so exhausted that he gets yelled at because he can’t calm down his energy and its breaks my heart. I would like to send them this video but they never listen to me but I will figure something out. Thank you so much for havingThese informative videos they have helped me immensely to improve my health.
Doctor how can you be so perfect!!! I became your fan literally!!! I wish I could become like you 1 day..so good in communication, knowledge, mature, humor, health, etc etc! Thank you so much directly or indirectly! Kindly don't stop uploading videos!
About potassium: according to my calculations, 5 grams of potassium element is 4 heaping teaspoons of pure potassium citrate. I also eat a lot of vegetables but I think it is good to get potassium citrate to make sure you are not deficient. Does someone have any opinion on potassium citrate? I'd love to hear
Dr Berg you are amazing! I've learnt so much from your videos. Please don't ever stop informing the public of the truth. We need honest doctors like you. Just want to say thank you. You are a good descent human being. God Bless you. Xx
You are really empowering people with this information. Its fantastic that you have worked with so many different people and understand how to get them results. I am watching all of your videos and learning so much, next I am getting your book and one for everyone in my family!
OMG this is so true how food affects you. I have been following Dr . Berg Keto/Vegan diet and all has been well. and a few days ago I cheated and ate a Danish. and I swear for the next 3 days my OCD was back in full effect. when things have kind of gone away the whole time I was strict on my diet. I can't wait for things to level out again.
God bless you Dr. Berg, in Jesus' name! Your information is very helpful to me as a stress/panick attack/ chronic anxiety sufferer with adrenal irritability and fatigue. Ive been implementing your knowledge and changing my lifestyle, Walking, eating healthy, cutting out 95% of carbs and sugars. Vegetable smoothies and The cranberry drink is just WOW, Ive lost some weight! I'm VERY in tuned to what your recommending and Im gradually feeling much better. I'll be ordering your adrenal support supplement soon! Thank you so much your a life saver!
keto diet helped me a lot with my schizophrenia. It reduced the symptoms significantly. 80% of my diet consist on eating huge salads, almost 15 cups per day. Lost 45 pounds in 4 months. I will send my before and after. Thank you Dr. Berg. keep changing the world!
Dr. Berg thank you so much for all the valuable information. You have a true gift explaining concepts and providing the best advice. Many blessings to you and your family.
I love him. He’s not just making a video, he’s helping people and made me laugh at the side joke. Awesome! A 2 in 1 laughter and beneficial health info. Please like and subscribe for this guy!
Dr Berg I pulled u up its 613 in the morning in south Carolina everything u say I'm on it and done it I love the way you're not like we have to do all this SPECIAL STUFF to help yurself all this stuff I can do and u break it down understandably..I absolutely love u and I'm ordering the stress reliever and subscribed to u..
Not only is he brilliant at explaining the concepts of the human body and its functions, but he's so funny... I won't mention the names of the brands, but then mentions it in a cough. Thanks for being authentic Dr!
Thank you so much Dr. Berg, your videos have been a tremendous help in helping me decrease headaches and fatigue. Is it possible to get the videos translated to Spanish, I would love sharing them with family. Thank you so much for your service😊
Dr. Berg, do you offer online courses so one can become certified as a holistic nutritionist or something in that area? I have never heard anyone else who knows so much and explains what they know so clearly. I live in Canada, so online would work great for me. You are inspiring. Thank you for sharing your knowledge to help others who have not been helped by conventional medicine. Hope you have a great day!
Hi Dr Berg and thank you for the videos. I have a question, what do you think of Oatmeal? You seem to be a strong proponent of low carbs, high protein/fat diet. However, I'm not looking to lose weight, just to have optimal energy. I do the 8/16 IF, and sometimes my first or my last meal is Oatmeal complemented with Walnuts, a teaspoon of honey and almond milk. What is your opinion on a carb like Oatmeal? Thank you.
I have SEVERE depression. Ive had it most of my life but now at 22 its gotten to an ultimate low. Everything depresses me. I feel like im way too weak to handle life. Becausr of how severe my depression has gotten I havent been sleeping a lot or eating well. ita hard but im going to try and change that and hopefully itll help somewhat. Unfortunately j think my issues are far beyond food :( thank you for making this video ill try to try these tips.
jane gomez I'm the same. Officially been taking anti-depressants since I was 15 but I have ha it longer and am now 22. Unfortunately I feel I can pinpoint the reason of my depression - anxiety. I can't control it and now being a young adult I feel the pressure of it at a whole new level. I just wish I could wish it away but it's been with me all my life. I will try to change my diet but unfortunately I feel that it goes beyond this :( I don't eat terribly as it is
Diana Martiniuc-Cameron if you want to go broke do keto.. haha a lot of people don’t realize how expensive the diet is bc for the full effects of the diet you practically have to eat organic everything especially meats and that’s what kills the bank account. I dropped like 300-400 for a week of food all organic maybe a week and a half and I was done after that. A lot of it is just eating all natural whole organic foods.
I use to be depressed for a short while but sleeping well and finding a slightly deep connection with a friend or girlfriend has made things INSANELY better! Depression just means feeling bad and sad all the time and for my cause there were actual reasons why and i could pinpoint it. I think u guys/girls could just use a good friend or maybe some intimate relationship would help alot. Find some sort of made purpose of ur choice and desire and remember it really isn’t worth being sad all the time. You guys/girls need some love and good nutrition,a good pal or two and an empty mind 👌🏻 Walking, hunting, outdoor activities in general with alot of sun light will provide loads of happy energy. Give these a try and if u do read this let me know what u think 🙂
@goku son Same, i just cured it thanks to keto. Ive struggled for more than 6 years and i tried basically everything to beat it, no chance. Then i started keto and its just gone, its amazing. It gradually got better, week after week, and after 2-3 months i knew this was it, its finally over.
All doctors EVER have done for me is try to treat the symptom. The last straw was when I KNEW my symptoms were not directly from severe depression and anxiety and the antidepressant I was on was no longer working yet my doc still wanted me to try another antidepressant which after only two days I nearly went insane. It made me ten times worse than if I hadn't been on meds at all. I feel like the 20 questions followed by another pill prescription was just a huge "fuck you I don't give a shit about you now give me your money and get out of my office". I knew then that most doctors have no respect for their patients and they will take the easiest way to get you out the door and paying your fee. I'm going to do whatever it takes to find out what's wrong. In the meantime getting sleep, the right nutrition, and exercise will be my medicine.
+BlinkinFirefly double your excercise time, a good psiquiatrist should tell you that is your other option to a drug. Meanwhile, so you get up and do it, try "Niacin" (B3 vitamin), works wonders...if you only get 500 mg tablet then just bite in a little piece, dont have too much or else you get red and its not nice bu about itt thats the only secondary effect you can get. Research it and tell me
BlinkinFirefly I went through that experience with my local Doctor also taking Diabetic meds for over 11 years. Especially when Dr changed the meds to a slow release type. The side effects were making my whole body worse, affecting my moods, body rashes, pains in back, muscle weakness. So much so that for 9 months, I didn't have the strength on one leg to even walk up 3 steps. I kept saying to Dr about my symptoms but he was only concerned that my blood readings weren't going down. Then after taking the Diabex for 18 months to 2 years, I woke up, one day that my 2 legs had been affected. I couldn't walk at all. That day I said to myself, "Enough was enough!". I stopped all this madness, and started on a new journey for better health. 2 1/2 years on, I am off all medications, my health improved through low carb/high good fat diets LCHF, Intermitted fasting 14 hrs over night, herbs like Bitter a Melon, cinnamon, Gymnena, exercise, eating more raw veggies, more good fats etc. Along the way, my body began to heal and my moods improved with it. I learn from Eriic Berg's videos, Dr Jason Fung videos. I realise I had to loose my fatty liver if I wanted to recover. I found by Researching on the Net that Western medicine isn't the only way to better health.
I guess I should have looked before I asked. I found "The Hidden Cause of Depression & Anxiety" Mar. 28, 2020 and "Try This For Depression" June 27th, 2020! Thank you Dr. Berg!!
Thank you Dr. Berg as soon i understand what is the benefit of intermettent fasting and avoiding sugary food..now i didnt exprience shaking of my hands when i was hungry..i can do some workout while fasting..im not a strict in my diet but i still keep doing until i can avoid all bad foods..
I know this is an old video but dr berg if you read this, once I hit my goal weight staying keto was definitely affecting my mood I think, as soon as I did a refeed I felt an amazing sense of wellbeing that lasted for several days. I’m exercising a lot too and I think that may be part of it.
I was tired and feeling a little low today. So I immediately consumed some nutritional yeast and a blue green Algae. Thank you Dr. Berg. I've suffered with restless leg syndrome, high blood pressure and sleep problems a long time.
Dr. Berg, I was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism about 15 years ago and I have been taking Synthroid / Levothyroxin since then. And I didn’t know until I watched this video that Iodine will help my thyroid. I’m wondering if I should continue taking my daily Levothyroxin pill every morning or if changing my diet could help my thyroid. When I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism I was told by my doctor that my thyroid had died. I also have 2 brothers who have been diagnosed with hypothyroidism and it is causing them lots of health problems like weight gain and fatigue so I would like to learn more about hypothyroidism and ways I can help my thyroid so I can share this with my brothers. I have also shared with them the progress I am making towards better health by following your advise and I have been suggesting to them that they watch some of your videos on UA-cam about the Ketos Diet and Intermittent fasting.
He offers REAL, HEALTHY solutions to real everyday common issues. This is the Doctor that will stop people from saying "Doctors are a dime a dozen, they dont know health" Even though I hate that term because when I need a c-section or have a SERIOUS condition, IDC if my DR can cure my rashes or common problem, but am happy they can save my life! This is such an informative channel, he is easy to listen to and doesn't use "doctor" words that we cant understand. I can use them with my Personal Training/Nutrition clients. SOOOOOOOOO many of his videos I have "learned" the hard way just observing clients problems and using my small small small amount of book knowledge, and personal experience. He is really doing the public a service! Better to learn in the classroom, than on a field trip people... use these videos to bless your life and the lives around you!!
Dr Berg, I struggle with 3 autoimmune diseases/disorders. I take a number medications including pain pills like Tramadol. My problem is trying to find the right food to eat to help me to not get so backed up. I believe my medication has much to do with the backup. Sometimes its so compacted its hard getting it out. This is not so nice to my rectum. This has become more of a problem as I get older. I drink plenty of water and exercise 2 to 3 days a week but still have the problem. I've tried otc but it worked not so great. The best thing i did try was prunes. Can you please give me some advice if there is anything more I could be doing? Thank you kindly !🙂
I asked my doctor whats foods, natural herbs or exercises I can do to get better and I was told. Just take the pills I prescribed, & you'll be okay. Hahaha
@@thetemplelaboratory Unfortunately I'm embarrassed to say but doctors in med school aren't really taught anything about the nutrition at all which needs to be addressed I fervently believe so.
I wish my parents knew all this when I grew up. I was severely deficient in almost everything. I only ate junk food and bread. I don't know if that is related, but I have a myriad of problems, physical and mental.
Thank you Dr, I'm learning good information. It's a lot. I'm on disability so trying to decide which is the best supplement is difficult. Suggestions on what to start with? Love your show.
All I had for dinner tonight was a small boiled sweet potato. I wasn't really hungry, my appetite is phenominally smaller than ever, the duration between meals is at least 8 hrs spaced and Im not fasting but my energy is great and I feel great. I hope the Xmas holiday doesnt mess it up! 😊
I spent 14 years with doctors treating my symptoms and I always felt miserable. Then we found Dr. Berg. I am doing so very much better now. I was simply deficient in many vitamins and minerals. My hubby has no gallbladder. He was overweight because doctors told him he could eat anything he wanted! Not true. Since Keto he has lost about 30+ pounds in 3 months and feels and looks so much better. Thank God for Dr. Berg. Fran and Jim Naeve
THE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH SEA KELP As sea kelp contains so many minerals and nutrients in such high quantities it may pose health problems if consumed in an incorrect dosage or by those with particular health issues. Iodine: Sea kelp is rich in iodine as it rapidly absorbs the high iodine content of the sea, and you might find anecdotal advice to take it for iodine deficiency. In the developed world though this condition is rare, and even if you are a sufferer it's unlikely iodine supplements would be the recommended course of action. In fact, you'll probably already get between 160mcg and 600mcg of iodine from salt, and taking excess iodine can cause many health problems including hyperthyroidism, Grave's disease and thyroid cancers. Different forms of kelp can vary greatly in iodine content too; another reason to be cautious. For example, the iodine content of different products containing bladderwrack (or seawrack) - a type of kelp - may vary greatly. Heavy metals: Sea kelp grown in polluted waters may well absorb toxic heavy metals which if ingested can cause major health problems. The potential for this means it isn't recommended to be taken if pregnant or breastfeeding, or by children or people with health issues, especially liver or kidney problems. It should be possible however to make sure a particular supplement comes from kelp grown in clean waters. Unpredictability: There are a large number of sea kelp supplements available containing a variety of different types of algae that all come under the name 'kelp', which may affect your body in different ways. For instance, bladderwrack can cause or worsen acne, and there is a single reported case of it causing kidney failure.
DR. BERG, BIG Question: When I got sick, and lost about 25 pds. in 6 weeks from barely eating more than soup I was waking up at 3am with MAJOR depression and most times not being able to fall asleep. I had stopped all sugar, gluten and fast food. Then recently, as soon as I introduced ramen noodles & a few small cookies in my day's eating, I've slept better And NO waking up in the middle of the night crying from really bad depressive thoughts and feelings. Its like the introduction of junk "food" Helped me?!? Can you please tell me why this is happening? I hate to rely on junk food forever.
On Keto and feeling depressed, which is not like me - at all! I think it's a sleep/serotonin issue. Also - considering the high I used to get from food, thinking about food, planning my food, looking forward to food - a HUGE part of where I drew joy. This is no longer available to me on Keto so I'm trying to seek out some replacements. I don't find ANYONE in the Keto Community talking about this issue either - the difficulties in finding joy when we are no longer getting it from food. I know I'm not the only one! All I ever hear is: "You won't be hungry". Yes, true but if I only ever ate when I was hungry - I would not need Keto in the first place! :-D
Probably you are a sugar addicted (required more time to adapt). Or you are not consuming enough good meat. You must try to keep your guts in better shape to absorb nutrients. Bad guts bad diet.
Another question is keto for children. Yes or no and what is the best non dairy milk for toddlers who don't consume enough food calories from food yet?
I love you Dr. Berg!!!! Ok, so two days ago I started eating 2 bananas for breakfast. Just on the first day, I noticed a HUGE difference. I wasn't hungry! I ate, to keep my schedule, but I really wasn't hungry.
Sara V hi, Sara, Dr. Berg suggests getting potassium from vegetables not fruits. Bananas are very high in sugar and can lead to elevated blood sugar levels. Eat protein for breakfast like he suggests. if you eat the right amount for you - somewhere between 3 to 6 oz per meal - you won't be hungry, your energy is sustained, and blood sugar levels are stable.
MsBettyRubble Thank you for your suggestions. I'm working myself towards that. For over 20 years all I had for breakfast was a big coffee. It took me about 6 months to get off of that bad habit. Then I did the bananas for about 2 months. I still don't like to eat anything in the morning. Presently, I have a dandelion root tea for breakfast. Maybe in a few months I'll be able to get some protein in the morning.
I'm the same about breakfast; when I eat, it's usually more like brunch. And Dr. Berg says that's okay to do because that's doing Intermittent fasting which is healthy. So whatever your first meal is, just include some protein. Wishing you good health!
I feel great when im on keto. Rarely depressed. Then i slip up and eat way too many carbs and snacks a few days in a row and its like ive been hit by the depression bus. 😞You would think id learn.😫 Staying in ketosis keeps my moods level. ☺ So back into ketosis i go. 😳
I've increased b vitamins, but im super stressed working as a long term and hospice nurse. my body is so tense, I'm irritable...depressed and super anxious all of the time...help.! I replay all of the things I need to do all of the time, like: pay bills, appointments, chores etc. I feel like I'm on a hamster wheel
magnesium needed, google to check./ I checked hours, SAME AS U. NIGHTMARE CAN calm sleep. Lots parshley , spring onions , cilandro, red chili. Coconut oil .nuts, seems there is a supplement of magnesioun- eat lots of eggs and proteins besides raw onion , ginger and garlic. - OH BASIL IS REACH IN MAGNESIOUN, - I CANT Afford supplements but b 12 , zinc , chromium . - iondine. - still can't find all in food. MORINGA - A TREE LEAVE- CONSIDERED SUPER FOOD - I WISH I COULD HAVE SOME. FATIGUE , INSOMNIA AND DEPRESSION.TIRESOME
Rosie Rich Do the potassium like he said. I have had anxiety for 9 years and potassium has,made a significant difference, the first big improvement in all of these years.
Avoiding stressful people is the single best advice
it's also the hardest thing to do in the world lol some of the most annoying people are either part of your family or your workplace
Working on it now
Thats the whole world 🤔
What if your the stressful person and your stressed...😂
Or just learn to not be stressed by their behaviour just observe
I reversed my depression, anxiety and ADHD. It has taken me 3 years to clean out my brain and give it the nutrients it needs. (It’s now 4/2018) The primary thing I focused on was correcting my leaky gut. I used lots of homemade bone broth and lots of high quality fats. I feel like a new person. Sometimes I’m embarrassed by who I “was.” I had such little self-control and made a lot of goofy choices, despite being in my late 40’s.
It’s wild how simple it has been to reverse diseases with some awesome education and taking my health into my own hands.
Brenda Schwieterman that is awesome Brenda! I am happy for you that you found answers!
Yes, mam awsm.
im aninah start taking sleeping pills seens 10YERAR AGO BJTA I WANT TO BE NORMAL LIKE B4 IN MY LIFE I SOME BODY CAN TALK ME TO AVOID SLEEPILLS I REALLY WA T TO QUIT TO SLEEPING PILL I HOME SOME ONE CAN HELP ME
🌳hooray for you Brenda! Congratulations on finding renewed life! What a blessing!
How can you know if you have a leaky gut or not?
Very intelligent man.
Helping other humans.
Telling the truth.
Saving everyone.
We love this guy.
Yes
Yeah sadly it doesnt exist that many people which tell you the truth...
THE BERG. Kicking problems to the curb. If he gets cancelled we will all put together a channel just for this man to continue what is happening here. Can't imagine the outrage for stopping his flow.
i love this doctor. Evry doctor should practice what he said: find the cure not treat symptoms.
the cause you mean
Not as many of those left, since Rpckefe11er & Carnegie took over medicine. Before then, there were lots of Dr. Bergs, but they were shut down, squeezed out, run off, or worse. Up until recent times, there are still those with cancer cures, who have disappeared, or their cure protocols stolen, patented by the FĐA, and locked away.
He is absolutely right about fatigue feeling like depression. I remember having just moved house and all of a sudden, the afternoon after I'd unpacked all my stuff, feeling terribly depressed. I wasn't unhappy with the new place. No traumatic events. The problem truly was that I was tired, had barely slept the night before, and the fatigue felt like depression. The next morning, when I woke up after a good night's sleep, I felt great again. It was shocking to me.
Wow! It's great you saw this video and made that connection (me too!) Maybe next time I won't jump to conclusions that I'm falling into the dreaded depression again! X
that was not a depression but simply exhaustion girl!
This is so true. I noticed over time that when I'm depressed it's because I'm exhausted and I get rest/sleep and feel so much better. My mood and motivation a lot of times I've realized are directly connected to my energy levels. A lot of what Dr.Berg says correlates with my personal experiences
1. 4700 mg potassium daily
2. B1 nutritional yeast Super Nutrients brand
3. Calcium carbonate avoid!Calcium citrate cheese plain yogurt is good.
4. Omega 3 fish oil, high quality
5. Sea kelp for thyroid iodine deficiency
6. Blood sugars-protein breakfast egg/meat.never skip.
7. Kale shake in the morning great
8. Cortisol-walking,sleeping great
9. Check thyroid if feeling apathetic and not care
10. Sleep 8hrs
my food, my mood, thank you
Thank you so much for this, I have been telling this to people for years ( not the in-depth that you gave which I did not know) and they don't want to hear the truth. Years ago I went to doctors for what I felt was deep depression, anxiety attacks, fatigue. I could not eat out my hands would shake there were many times I could not even leave my house out of fears to go out in public. I was put on 3 meds plus a sleep aid. On a 600 mile trip to visit my parents, I left my meds behind, before my mom could get them shipped to me, for three days I went into a terrible drug withdraws just like a drug addict would go through. By the time my meds came all I remember is looking at them and dumping them in the garbage and said: " Never Again". I moved back to a town where I was "Happy Again", starting exercising like I used to, ate more nutritious food like I used to. I never needed the meds which made me zombie-like. I needed me back. I'm telling you Dr. Berg knows what he is talking about, this info is life-saving.
That “accident “ of leaving your meds behind was straight from heaven. I have learned to just tell people they must do their own work to solve their health issues, point them to Dr Berg and leave it at that. Most won’t and continue to take the meds and run to the doctor. I avoid traditional doctors like the plague. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Funny thing. I have been diagnosed for 15 years with Manic Depression and social anxiety. I actually have been using this method that you have mentioned in your video and honestly I haven't had depression and my anxiety has been nonexistent.
what have u been doing to get rid of the anxiety
Congratulations, I wish I can get rid of mine too..

treat the cause, not the symptom. most doctors don't.
Gosh I get brain fog all the time.amazing .and I'm always stressed and get a lot of anxiety .guess I'll have to change my diet .thanks Dr berg your videos are amazing gail.
Update? How are you feeling now?
Potassium is very important to calm the heart down.
B1 vit. Helps with restlessness Best is nutrition yeast. Calcium helps you rest, relax Best is calcium citrate, fish oils get a higher quality one, Iodine from a sea cal source..Tou want to make sure your breakfast is protein (egg, meat)You will feel so much better. And get sleep 8hrs Not 7hrs. Lack of sleep will cause all kinds of issues.
@Revolting Swan thanks!
Thumbs up
Little Blessings great advice thx.
Wow, after only watching your newer videos, seeing your "glow up" is such a massive testament to keto/IF. You look so much healthier and even younger in your new videos. Right on Dr berg
I've experienced the effect of good choices, whenever I feel tired, I make a smoothie 70% vegetables and the rest fruits, plus moringa or barley grass and voilà! Newfound energy. Coconut water also works for me.
Coconut water doesn’t taste good in my opinion but is definitely high in potassium
I would love to see you make a series of videos on Children's health and how food effects their mood, attitude, sleeping patterns, etc...... Thanks for such great videos.
Hello, I'm a firefighter paramedic and I can't tell you how much this diet has not only decreased my weight but decreased anxiety on emergency incidents. My clarity on scene and my focus on some of the most demanding calls have greatly improved. My sleep has improved, snoring is gone, blood pressure is down. I'm excited to see what changes are on the horizon. I watch all your videos and have been eating super clean. I'm doing one meal per day at noon, and occasionally I eat a second time no later than 4:00pm. Brain fog is subsiding. I was rear-ended at work and needed surgery on my neck, I gained weight, but now I'm getting it under control. Lets hope this is the reason
This was very helpful and inspiring. I'm more than willing to change my eating habits and sleeping habits to be a more productive person in countless ways. Thanks a lot.
Great video... I went to see a psychologist about my anxiety and first thing she asked ''do you want us to put you on medication?'' I was shocked! Instead of that, I'm now going to worry management and changing my diet and doing yoga to improve my mental health
Same!
What an awesome video. My depression went away after 10 years but I still get night time anxiety after gym which makes it more. Now I eat 2 - 3 cups of vegetables a day and take a magnesium supplement. I loved living in the states but the food tasted totally different from African food because ours is still very much in its natural state. Thank you for educating us.
Food does affect mood. Its absolutely true that food is responsible for your moods. Since I'm on Keto diet I feel much calmer and less easily annoyed.
You are the best doctor in the whole world! Thank you for sharing this information!!
Just love the info from your channel. My family and I have tremendous respect for you .
I live in Virginia as well and tried to make an appointment at your office for my sister who's 36 years old and has MS. within 13 years she just had her second attack, unfortunately you are not seeing patients no more .
Waiting for an exclusive video on MS immune disease treatment and advice from you .
Thanks for this huge service you are doing by sharing your knowledge with us .
I have done many life changing habits since following your channel, and seen great benefits .
Thank you Dr Berg, your channel really makes a difference. All legit advice and I lost weight and kept it off.
❤
Thank you for these videos. Ive been combing through these trying to find how to cure my daughters anxiety. Her problem is that she does not feel hunger and therefore goes for unreasonable amounts of time not eating and will even go as far as to refuse food. I thought I had it down with basic electrolytes and B complex until I saw this clip about probiotics. Another step in the right direction
Sugar definitely affects your mood. Dr. Berg, you have single-handedly improved my quality of life with your diet/ nutritional advice, more than any one or all others advise, combined. Thank you so much!🙏🏼I really appreciate you.
❤️❤️❤️❤️ thank you for all your hard work on these videos!!!
I learned more from Dr. Berg in this one video than all my visits combine going to my endocrinologist.
Thanks for your kind words.
No one noticed???!!!

Hi, what dose of k2 with D3 should I give my 10yr old 82lbs. Her having yellow teeth since kindergarten and her school friends make fun of her. She is a picky eater. Doesn't like milk but I have got her to have some in cereal the milk 1000 percent grass fed thats organic. It gives her potassium to.

I can't stop saying thank u Dr.
After all these years now I know the reason behind my suffering from my weak depressed body
I used to take too much coffee to keep my self active....
But now I know how to deal with the problem correctly
Its my bad eating habits
I rarley include vegetable in my meals
Eating to much sugar and carbohydrates....
For potassium we can go for garlic 🧄 natural resources and one more thing we can add-on to our diet is magnesium rich food(magnesium is universally reduce human stress)
This was one of my favorite Dr. Berg videos. So much was covered and very helpful advice. THANK YOU.
This guy is an angel
How ironic that depression is seen as the cause of many symptoms such as lethargy and insomnia. There are only very few causes to this type of predicament and it mostly has to do with unattended stress. We live in a very traumatic world, pressures of all kinds (work, family, relationships, etc). Ultimately, it is each one of us that must take the lead in our health because no one else will. Once we empower ourselves and decide to learn about nutrition and health, we might have a fighting chance.
My grandson is eight years old and he is out of control. His parents are exhausted and beside themselves and I’ve been begging them not to medicate him. He is such a wonderful little boy and he is in the gifted classes at school but when he gets home his parents are so exhausted that he gets yelled at because he can’t calm down his energy and its breaks my heart. I would like to send them this video but they never listen to me but I will figure something out. Thank you so much for havingThese informative videos they have helped me immensely to improve my health.
Doctor how can you be so perfect!!! I became your fan literally!!! I wish I could become like you 1 day..so good in communication, knowledge, mature, humor, health, etc etc! Thank you so much directly or indirectly! Kindly don't stop uploading videos!
I ate ate 2 bananas today and my anxiety went down to almost 0. I felt so much happier and healthier. I felt great in almost 15 minutes time!
Such a great analysis. Thank you Dr Berg. I'm very thankful for the good and clear info you're sharing.
Glad you like it. Thank you for watching!
About potassium: according to my calculations, 5 grams of potassium element is 4 heaping teaspoons of pure potassium citrate. I also eat a lot of vegetables but I think it is good to get potassium citrate to make sure you are not deficient. Does someone have any opinion on potassium citrate? I'd love to hear
Dr Berg you are amazing! I've learnt so much from your videos. Please don't ever stop informing the public of the truth. We need honest doctors like you. Just want to say thank you. You are a good descent human being. God Bless you. Xx
You are really empowering people with this information. Its fantastic that you have worked with so many different people and understand how to get them results. I am watching all of your videos and learning so much, next I am getting your book and one for everyone in my family!
OMG this is so true how food affects you. I have been following Dr . Berg Keto/Vegan diet and all has been well. and a few days ago I cheated and ate a Danish. and I swear for the next 3 days my OCD was back in full effect. when things have kind of gone away the whole time I was strict on my diet. I can't wait for things to level out again.

Thank you so much Dr. Berg, your videos have been a tremendous help in helping me decrease headaches and fatigue. Is it possible to get the videos translated to Spanish, I would love sharing them with family. Thank you so much for your service😊
Dr. Berg, do you offer online courses so one can become certified as a holistic nutritionist or something in that area? I have never heard anyone else who knows so much and explains what they know so clearly. I live in Canada, so online would work great for me. You are inspiring. Thank you for sharing your knowledge to help others who have not been helped by conventional medicine. Hope you have a great day!
Dr Berg throwing a lot of shade in this video 😂😂 thanks for keeping it real with us!!

Hi Dr Berg and thank you for the videos. I have a question, what do you think of Oatmeal? You seem to be a strong proponent of low carbs, high protein/fat diet. However, I'm not looking to lose weight, just to have optimal energy. I do the 8/16 IF, and sometimes my first or my last meal is Oatmeal complemented with Walnuts, a teaspoon of honey and almond milk. What is your opinion on a carb like Oatmeal?
Thank you.
It’s amazing watching people like DR Berg
I have SEVERE depression. Ive had it most of my life but now at 22 its gotten to an ultimate low. Everything depresses me. I feel like im way too weak to handle life. Becausr of how severe my depression has gotten I havent been sleeping a lot or eating well. ita hard but im going to try and change that and hopefully itll help somewhat. Unfortunately j think my issues are far beyond food :( thank you for making this video ill try to try these tips.
jane gomez I'm the same. Officially been taking anti-depressants since I was 15 but I have ha it longer and am now 22. Unfortunately I feel I can pinpoint the reason of my depression - anxiety. I can't control it and now being a young adult I feel the pressure of it at a whole new level. I just wish I could wish it away but it's been with me all my life. I will try to change my diet but unfortunately I feel that it goes beyond this :( I don't eat terribly as it is
Have you had your thyroid checked, full panel? I would do keto if I were you..
Diana Martiniuc-Cameron if you want to go broke do keto.. haha a lot of people don’t realize how expensive the diet is bc for the full effects of the diet you practically have to eat organic everything especially meats and that’s what kills the bank account. I dropped like 300-400 for a week of food all organic maybe a week and a half and I was done after that. A lot of it is just eating all natural whole organic foods.
I use to be depressed for a short while but sleeping well and finding a slightly deep connection with a friend or girlfriend has made things INSANELY better!
Depression just means feeling bad and sad all the time and for my cause there were actual reasons why and i could pinpoint it.
I think u guys/girls could just use a good friend or maybe some intimate relationship would help alot. Find some sort of made purpose of ur choice and desire and remember it really isn’t worth being sad all the time.
You guys/girls need some love and good nutrition,a good pal or two and an empty mind 👌🏻
Walking, hunting, outdoor activities in general with alot of sun light will provide loads of happy energy. Give these a try and if u do read this let me know what u think 🙂
@goku son Same, i just cured it thanks to keto. Ive struggled for more than 6 years and i tried basically everything to beat it, no chance.
Then i started keto and its just gone, its amazing. It gradually got better, week after week, and after 2-3 months i knew this was it, its finally over.
New follower. I'm dealing with sleep apnea, narcolepsy and mood. Have you done any videos that would help?
Love your content btw.
You are the best and most handsome doctor in the whole world! Thank you for sharing this information!!
Excellent video!! Thank you very much
All doctors EVER have done for me is try to treat the symptom. The last straw was when I KNEW my symptoms were not directly from severe depression and anxiety and the antidepressant I was on was no longer working yet my doc still wanted me to try another antidepressant which after only two days I nearly went insane. It made me ten times worse than if I hadn't been on meds at all. I feel like the 20 questions followed by another pill prescription was just a huge "fuck you I don't give a shit about you now give me your money and get out of my office". I knew then that most doctors have no respect for their patients and they will take the easiest way to get you out the door and paying your fee. I'm going to do whatever it takes to find out what's wrong. In the meantime getting sleep, the right nutrition, and exercise will be my medicine.
+BlinkinFirefly please go vegan. it'll help greatly.
+BlinkinFirefly double your excercise time, a good psiquiatrist should tell you that is your other option to a drug. Meanwhile, so you get up and do it, try "Niacin" (B3 vitamin), works wonders...if you only get 500 mg tablet then just bite in a little piece, dont have too much or else you get red and its not nice bu about itt thats the only secondary effect you can get. Research it and tell me
BlinkinFirefly I went through that experience with my local Doctor also taking Diabetic meds for over 11 years. Especially when Dr changed the meds to a slow release type. The side effects were making my whole body worse, affecting my moods, body rashes, pains in back, muscle weakness. So much so that for 9 months, I didn't have the strength on one leg to even walk up 3 steps. I kept saying to Dr about my symptoms but he was only concerned that my blood readings weren't going down. Then after taking the Diabex for 18 months to 2 years, I woke up, one day that my 2 legs had been affected. I couldn't walk at all. That day I said to myself, "Enough was enough!". I stopped all this madness, and started on a new journey for better health. 2 1/2 years on, I am off all medications, my health improved through low carb/high good fat diets LCHF, Intermitted fasting 14 hrs over night, herbs like Bitter a Melon, cinnamon, Gymnena, exercise, eating more raw veggies, more good fats etc. Along the way, my body began to heal and my moods improved with it. I learn from Eriic Berg's videos, Dr Jason Fung videos. I realise I had to loose my fatty liver if I wanted to recover. I found by Researching on the Net that Western medicine isn't the only way to better health.
I'm so glad you're back on the right track! Thanks for sharing! :)
Thank you Alba!
I guess I should have looked before I asked. I found "The Hidden Cause of Depression & Anxiety" Mar. 28, 2020 and "Try This For Depression" June 27th, 2020! Thank you Dr. Berg!!
Have you been suffering from anxiety and depression? And how are you now if you had them
Thank you Dr. Berg as soon i understand what is the benefit of intermettent fasting and avoiding sugary food..now i didnt exprience shaking of my hands when i was hungry..i can do some workout while fasting..im not a strict in my diet but i still keep doing until i can avoid all bad foods..
I know this is an old video but dr berg if you read this, once I hit my goal weight staying keto was definitely affecting my mood I think, as soon as I did a refeed I felt an amazing sense of wellbeing that lasted for several days. I’m exercising a lot too and I think that may be part of it.
I was tired and feeling a little low today. So I immediately consumed some nutritional yeast and a blue green Algae. Thank you Dr. Berg. I've suffered with restless leg syndrome, high blood pressure and sleep problems a long time.
Dr. Berg, I was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism about 15 years ago and I have been taking Synthroid / Levothyroxin since then. And I didn’t know until I watched this video that Iodine will help my thyroid. I’m wondering if I should continue taking my daily Levothyroxin pill every morning or if changing my diet could help my thyroid. When I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism I was told by my doctor that my thyroid had died. I also have 2 brothers who have been diagnosed with hypothyroidism and it is causing them lots of health problems like weight gain and fatigue so I would like to learn more about hypothyroidism and ways I can help my thyroid so I can share this with my brothers. I have also shared with them the progress I am making towards better health by following your advise and I have been suggesting to them that they watch some of your videos on UA-cam about the Ketos Diet and Intermittent fasting.

Lol Dr. Berg is a low key savage
Not gonna lie that was funny as hell 😂😂😂😂
He offers REAL, HEALTHY solutions to real everyday common issues. This is the Doctor that will stop people from saying "Doctors are a dime a dozen, they dont know health" Even though I hate that term because when I need a c-section or have a SERIOUS condition, IDC if my DR can cure my rashes or common problem, but am happy they can save my life!
This is such an informative channel, he is easy to listen to and doesn't use "doctor" words that we cant understand. I can use them with my Personal Training/Nutrition clients.
SOOOOOOOOO many of his videos I have "learned" the hard way just observing clients problems and using my small small small amount of book knowledge, and personal experience. He is really doing the public a service!
Better to learn in the classroom, than on a field trip people... use these videos to bless your life and the lives around you!!
Dr. I appreciate you so much for this important information. Thanks!
Dr Berg, I struggle with 3 autoimmune diseases/disorders. I take a number medications including pain pills like Tramadol. My problem is trying to find the right food to eat to help me to not get so backed up. I believe my medication has much to do with the backup. Sometimes its so compacted its hard getting it out. This is not so nice to my rectum. This has become more of a problem as I get older. I drink plenty of water and exercise 2 to 3 days a week but still have the problem. I've tried otc but it worked not so great. The best thing i did try was prunes. Can you please give me some advice if there is anything more I could be doing? Thank you kindly !🙂
I wish my doctor knew as much as Dr. Berg. I wish she just knew more than me. 😕🙄
I asked my doctor whats foods, natural herbs or exercises I can do to get better and I was told. Just take the pills I prescribed, & you'll be okay. Hahaha
He does knows my doctor too!! But we are them incomes 😩😩
@@thetemplelaboratory Unfortunately I'm embarrassed to say but doctors in med school aren't really taught anything about the nutrition at all which needs to be addressed I fervently believe so.
5:49 hats off to mr berg here for keeping it together after saying that, alot of people would not be able to get that out straight faced
Thanks Dr. Berg! As always fantastic information a real life saver.
His lowkey shade throwing is epic, you can tell this is a healthy man just by how calm and relaxed he is.
I wish my parents knew all this when I grew up.
I was severely deficient in almost everything. I only ate junk food and bread.
I don't know if that is related, but I have a myriad of problems, physical and mental.
I can totally relate bro. I hope you can fix your health now. 💪

Thank you Dr, I'm learning good information. It's a lot. I'm on disability so trying to decide which is the best supplement is difficult. Suggestions on what to start with? Love your show.
All I had for dinner tonight was a small boiled sweet potato. I wasn't really hungry, my appetite is phenominally smaller than ever, the duration between meals is at least 8 hrs spaced and Im not fasting but my energy is great and I feel great. I hope the Xmas holiday doesnt mess it up! 😊
I spent 14 years with doctors treating my symptoms and I always felt miserable. Then we found Dr. Berg. I am doing so very much better now. I was simply deficient in many vitamins and minerals. My hubby has no gallbladder. He was overweight because doctors told him he could eat anything he wanted! Not true. Since Keto he has lost about 30+ pounds in 3 months and feels and looks so much better. Thank God for Dr. Berg.

I appreciate when someone knows what hes doing, thanks for the vids doc!
Your vids have given me hope.
THE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH SEA KELP
As sea kelp contains so many minerals and nutrients in such high quantities it may pose health problems if consumed in an incorrect dosage or by those with particular health issues.
Iodine: Sea kelp is rich in iodine as it rapidly absorbs the high iodine content of the sea, and you might find anecdotal advice to take it for iodine deficiency. In the developed world though this condition is rare, and even if you are a sufferer it's unlikely iodine supplements would be the recommended course of action.
In fact, you'll probably already get between 160mcg and 600mcg of iodine from salt, and taking excess iodine can cause many health problems including hyperthyroidism, Grave's disease and thyroid cancers. Different forms of kelp can vary greatly in iodine content too; another reason to be cautious. For example, the iodine content of different products containing bladderwrack (or seawrack) - a type of kelp - may vary greatly.
Heavy metals: Sea kelp grown in polluted waters may well absorb toxic heavy metals which if ingested can cause major health problems. The potential for this means it isn't recommended to be taken if pregnant or breastfeeding, or by children or people with health issues, especially liver or kidney problems. It should be possible however to make sure a particular supplement comes from kelp grown in clean waters.
Unpredictability: There are a large number of sea kelp supplements available containing a variety of different types of algae that all come under the name 'kelp', which may affect your body in different ways. For instance, bladderwrack can cause or worsen acne, and there is a single reported case of it causing kidney failure.
DR. BERG, BIG Question: When I got sick, and lost about 25 pds. in 6 weeks from barely eating more than soup I was waking up at 3am with MAJOR depression and most times not being able to fall asleep. I had stopped all sugar, gluten and fast food. Then recently, as soon as I introduced ramen noodles & a few small cookies in my day's eating, I've slept better And NO waking up in the middle of the night crying from really bad depressive thoughts and feelings.
Its like the introduction of junk "food" Helped me?!?
Can you please tell me why this is happening? I hate to rely on junk food forever.
You are amazing. I have a new shopping list now!
It is ..it is always good to give reference in the description...
On Keto and feeling depressed, which is not like me - at all! I think it's a sleep/serotonin issue. Also - considering the high I used to get from food, thinking about food, planning my food, looking forward to food - a HUGE part of where I drew joy. This is no longer available to me on Keto so I'm trying to seek out some replacements. I don't find ANYONE in the Keto Community talking about this issue either - the difficulties in finding joy when we are no longer getting it from food. I know I'm not the only one! All I ever hear is: "You won't be hungry". Yes, true but if I only ever ate when I was hungry - I would not need Keto in the first place! :-D
Probably you are a sugar addicted (required more time to adapt). Or you are not consuming enough good meat. You must try to keep your guts in better shape to absorb nutrients. Bad guts bad diet.
Doc Thnx for a very Usefull discussion on Food that create Good Mood..for a better disposition..Thnk U so much for knowing between the two...
"Get good sleep"
Me watching this video at 2 AM: Hm, interesting.
Another question is keto for children. Yes or no and what is the best non dairy milk for toddlers who don't consume enough food calories from food yet?
I love you Dr. Berg!!!! Ok, so two days ago I started eating 2 bananas for breakfast. Just on the first day, I noticed a HUGE difference. I wasn't hungry! I ate, to keep my schedule, but I really wasn't hungry.
Sara V hi, Sara, Dr. Berg suggests getting potassium from vegetables not fruits. Bananas are very high in sugar and can lead to elevated blood sugar levels. Eat protein for breakfast like he suggests. if you eat the right amount for you - somewhere between 3 to 6 oz per meal - you won't be hungry, your energy is sustained, and blood sugar levels are stable.
MsBettyRubble
Thank you for your suggestions. I'm working myself towards that.
For over 20 years all I had for breakfast was a big coffee. It took me about 6 months to get off of that bad habit. Then I did the bananas for about 2 months. I still don't like to eat anything in the morning.
Presently, I have a dandelion root tea for breakfast. Maybe in a few months I'll be able to get some protein in the morning.
I'm the same about breakfast; when I eat, it's usually more like brunch. And Dr. Berg says that's okay to do because that's doing Intermittent fasting which is healthy. So whatever your first meal is, just include some protein. Wishing you good health!
MsBettyRubble
Thank you :-)
Hello Dr. Berg can you do a video about PMS and severe mood swings. Thanks
From childhood my favorite food was raw (salted) salmon. I enjoyed it as others chocolate. Now I know why - healthy fats.
Do you have a video on Bipolar disorder? Thanks.
I feel great when im on keto. Rarely depressed. Then i slip up and eat way too many carbs and snacks a few days in a row and its like ive been hit by the depression bus. 😞You would think id learn.😫 Staying in ketosis keeps my moods level. ☺ So back into ketosis i go. 😳
Hi,
Dr , Eric we take tea by pouring milk in it .
Can I have it during keto diet.
I've increased b vitamins, but im super stressed working as a long term and hospice nurse. my body is so tense, I'm irritable...depressed and super anxious all of the time...help.! I replay all of the things I need to do all of the time, like: pay bills, appointments, chores etc. I feel like I'm on a hamster wheel
I recommend you read "The Mind Illuminated". It's a book on meditation.
thank you so much, things are looking up😊😊

You are the best! Thanks Dr. Berg
Thanks! That was the goal. Glad you were able to get some questions answered.
