    My medical doctor here in Canada refused to talk about Berberine. He would rather have me take a chemical than a natural supplement. I was on Ozempic for 9 months until I told my doctor I wasn't going to to take it anymore. I regained half the weight and my blood sugar skyrocketed. Now I'm on the carnivore diet, have lost 10 pounds in a week and my blood sugar is at 5.0. Goes to show you that you really need to be your own health advocate. I'm still on metformin but I'm going to ditch that as well once I go for my check up and start back on Berberine.

I learned that I was prediabetic and I knew i needed to lose a significant amount of weight. Its been about two weeks since ive been taking it. I definitely dont feel as hungry.

    I’ve viewed a lot of videos on berberine and this is one of the best I’ve seen. Thanks for your clarity and thoroughness on this subject. What are your thoughts on dihydroberberine?

    • @DrKateLyzengaDean
      @DrKateLyzengaDean  Місяць тому

      Glad it was helpful! Studies suggest that oral berberine is modified to dihydroberberine by the gut GI microbiome, but it's almost instantly converted back to berberine within the intestinal wall itself. Following absorption (which is very, very low) there is also extensive first-pass phase I and II liver metabolism generating a number of potential metabolites. Given the extremely low rates of berberine absorption systemically (via any form), the effect of berberine is via the gut microbiome - which doesn't require systemic absorption. At the end of the day, I recommend the form of berberine with the most/best clinical evidence - you can see my suggestions in the checklist here: www.drkateld.com/free-fat-loss-user-guide-signup

    I turned 58 and my body went wacky and I gained 50 pounds in one year, and I had changed NOTHING of my good organic foods, and exercise that worked for 20 years. Then all these issues surfaced at 59 to 61. I went Keto in 2018 as soon as I gained the weight, and it wasn't enough but a good practice, got me off the small amount of snacking I did. Then I had to go Ketovore because I wasn't losing weight and then a year ago went CARNIVORE. Carnivore HEALED ALL CRAVINGS, its amazing In these few years, i had high blood pressure as soon as my weight increased, I have insulin resistance and some breast issues, all in four years. I have been healing my other three bodies since the late 80s and started on my last and 4th body (the physical) in 2018. Now i am on the other side of TOTAL ENERGY LOSS 3 years ago... carnivore is working, and last month I started taking a half a pill of Berberine, until i can get down in my weight a bit more to get off my Blood Pressure medications (I am on the lowest dose). I have hope this year after losing 40 pounds with carnivore.

    Hello Dr Kate, My husband takes trajenta and glyade.. would he need to wean off both and if so over what period of time? Also his eGFR is 30 and he has left ventricular non compaction cardiomyopathy. 2 years ago he was diagnosed with Stage 4 non Hodgkin’s lymphoma of which he is in remission now. Also does berberine help with extremely sore legs/ thighs. CK blood test appears normal- no inflammation. Thank you for any help.

I can tell you that berberine is anti-inflammatory, and often helps with muscle soreness!

    I just started taking 250 mg dihydroberberine with Ceylon cinnamon. Could you comment on this form of berberine?

    • @DrKateLyzengaDean
      @DrKateLyzengaDean  Місяць тому

      Studies suggest that oral berberine is modified to dihydroberberine by the gut GI microbiome, but it's almost instantly converted back to berberine within the intestinal wall itself. Following absorption (which is very, very low) there is also extensive first-pass phase I and II liver metabolism generating a number of potential metabolites. Given the extremely low rates of berberine absorption systemically (via any form), the effect of berberine is via the gut microbiome - which doesn't require systemic absorption. At the end of the day, I recommend the form of berberine with the most/best clinical evidence - you can see my suggestions in the checklist here: www.drkateld.com/free-fat-loss-user-guide-signup

    • @DrKateLyzengaDean
      @DrKateLyzengaDean  Місяць тому +1

      Good question! I recommend Berberine HCL because it has the most (and highest-quality) clinical evidence for efficacy! Also, Berberine's bioavailability is extremely low - like, less than 1% - no matter the form. It's action is likely via the gut microbiome, which doesn't require systemic absorption. So, I go with the form that has the most evidence of actual results.

      Best natural remedies for constipation are figs and pears. If you have dried figs soak them in boiled water over night and drink the liquid in morning plus eat the rehydrated figs with your breakfast. Also eat Bartlett Pears. Unlike Apples, pears help with bowl movements. Apples don’t. If you have constipation stay away from apples, apple juice, cheese and yogurt.

      Great question - because Berberine helps re-set the AMPK switch for metabolism, it does have long-lasting benefits (even after you stop taking it). But the GLP-1 boosting effect may be more temporary, so if satiety is a big deal for you, it might be worthwhile to continue taking it longer-term or in occasional pulses. Everyone's different!
