3:00 Don't ignore the root cause
When someone has edema, you can tell a lot about what's going on in their body based on where they're holding fluid.
If the right ankle and foot are more swollen, the problem could be with the liver. If the left ankle or foot is more swollen, the problem may be with the heart. If both ankles and feet are swollen, the problem may be more of a blood sugar situation, like diabetes.
But there are many other potential causes of edema, including:
• Chronic venous insufficiency
• Lymphedema
• Kidney problems
• Advanced lung problems
The most common causes of edema in the ankles is diabetes or prediabetes, or the person is low in potassium and has high sodium. In this situation, I don't think you should cut down on your salt. I do think you should increase your potassium by consuming more greens.
In many cases, when people go to the doctor with edema, they're given a diuretic. But, this is just treating the symptom and not the root cause. When you hide the symptom, you're lowering the awareness that the problem is still there.
It's crucial to investigate and figure out the root cause and correct it, so you don't end up with a bigger problem.

Thanks for watching! I hope this helps you better understand the potential causes of edema.
I want to cry because I’m 48 yrs old and been dealing with swelling of my left foot since I was in my 30 ‘s and now both feet swell . It took watching this video to understand why or get some information to help myself try doing something about it. NO DOCTOR HAS EVER TOLD ME ANYTHING JUST GAVE ME DIURETIC AND MY BLOOD PRESSURE MEDS.I will definitely change my way of eating and eat more greens . Thank you Dr for the info wish you lived close by
Keto. Those ankles will go down.
I had edema often for 3 years. I could feel the water moving in my feet when I walked. Went keto and I have no swelling at all, not even when sitting for long periods of time.
Take his potassium electrolyte powder and am sure it will disappear as you embark on a more vegetables based diet.
I agree with you! I have had a right swollen ankle for over 10 years and no doctor could ever give me any reason it might be swollen and not the left. I did find one source on UA-cam that randomly mentioned it in another information filled video, but Dr. Berg definitely gets detailed with his explanations.
Most doctors won't tell you. They just write a prescription and tell you to come back in a few months. Yadda yadda yadda
I no longer have swelling in my ankles since I quit sugar.
My right ankle and foot swells up most days, so wearing a right shoe is painful. I hadn’t been told about potassium, or about eating more greens. I was told to keep my foot raised above my heart as often as possible which often made no difference. I do eat salads using a variety of greens including pea shoots, raw broccoli etc. My ankle and foot slimmed down every few days, now I know why! Thank you so much Doctor Berg. 😍
I’m 42 and I’ve had swollen ankles since I was 9yrs old and my father had them too, as an adult. I’ve struggled for years, mostly mentally but I have noticed that when I go on a no sugar, high veggie diet, they go down tremendously, but never all the way. I’m gonna increase my potassium and pray that works.
Did this help?
So what’s the verdict ?
@@michelles8835 ...
In my experience with my swollen ankles, increasing my potassium definitely helped them go down a lot. However, too much potassium is toxic and can cause kidney stones and heart attacks. So what’s the sweet spot for extra potassium without hurting yourself? Can’t do labs for potassium weekly.
@@MarieC806 you have to eat 8 bananas a day to get to the Recommended Daily Allowance of Potassium. How are you getting too much Potassium ? What are you doing to go way over the RDA ?
Your comment on diuretics being prescribed for edema is spot on. Most doctors today treat symptoms and show very little interest in underlying causes.
I would have Been so grateful if someone highlighted an obvs health issue and especially one with the most amazing caring voice as you do !
I started following you and Keto with IF on 10/28/21. I'm down 14 pounds. I do 16:8 and feel incredible. I'm NEVER hungry. The swelling in my ankles are non-existent. I walk to and from work 5 days a week (about 17 blocks each way). I couldn't walk half a block at first. I am so grateful my little sis put me on to you.
Thank you I am a person who has known better and not headed the warning. Now I am horrified looking and the swelling in my feet, ankles and now legs! I was working out daily Pilates and watererobics and Mother and caregiver passed away. I froze! and returned to emotional destructive eating and drinking habits. It's pick my self up or die painfully. I thank you for your firm gentle non judgmental approach. I have been watching your videos two years now and I am ready to do what is best for me. Thank you for your honesty.
best explanation of this phenomenon I've ever read, and I'm a nurse!
I think we better listen to Dr. Berg's videos than to go to Doctor in order to figure out what's wrong with our body!
I am 60 years old and I haven't been to a doctor since my Mom had me go when I was in my early teens. I've had health problems but ALL of them have been resolved practicing the advice of Dr. Berg and others who embrace the KETO lifestyle; Pharma free and loving it.
He tells you exactly what to do to never have to see a doctor. No one fixed my back in 15 years. I do OMAD 4 weeks in my pain goes away and my mind explodes.
Totally a fan of Dr. Berg❤❤
That’s really unwise. Doctors are important health providers too who can do work up and screenings for cancer etc, ‘natural’ is great but we do need to stop having this either or mentality.
It's not about paying (not that we or unless me have enough $$)
But the real reason about see theses videos is because other Drs. Never said anything they just try to get you back every 5 to ten days.
I am very greatful to you Dr Burg.
Thank you for putting up Superior content!!
Im 48 and have family members entering their 80s
I also have a family member who is only 10yrs old , has stage 4 bone cancer .
I have a friend 46yrs old that has bone marrow cancer multiple myeloma.
I have a next-door neighbor that has swelling ankles .
I am sharing your videos with everyone I can !
Thank you for telling me what’s wrong and how to correct - it helps a lot. Please don’t stop
Watch many of your videos. Helps me, my friends and family with finding the right reasons behind the medical situation and correcting it without drug usage.
Thank you for your research and sharing of the data.
i have suffered with chronically swollen ankles and feet for more than 24 years - based on your advice I have cut out sugar including carbs, cows milk and I have started eating LOTS more potassium-rich vegetables. Every day I juice one avocado with 2-3 celery stalks with xylitol & unsweetened almond milk. I noticed positive changes in a matter of days and now several months on I have greatly reduced the swelling and the discomfort in my feet/ankles. Im not fully healed yet but I'm improving every day. Thank you Dr. Berg for your amazing advice & for telling us things that my own GP couldnt be bothered to tell me or jist didnt know to tell me
Im going to try this, have to lose weight as well, how you doing now?
how are you feeling now
Thanks for reminding me of avocado and celery combination. I used to put avocado in my smoothies then I forgot as I cut down on smoothies for a while. 🙂
Many doctors today know no better than to prescribe a drug for everything . They were taught in Big Pharma protocol . Listen to Dr Berg . Save yourself a lot of time , heartache and pain . He's the real deal .
He is so sweet, he always wants to help people.
We are so thankful we have found your videos. I love the way Dr Berg delivers such important information. Most people will belittle me if I ask things like, "why should I eat grassfed beef." But Dr Berg actually gives us the science behind it. Currently my wife has one swollen ankle and lower leg and we have started to address her sodium intake. But thanks to Dr. Berg we will start pursuing an increase in potassium as well for her.
Your advice is spot on, the way you explain whats happening (is exactly what I experience) but now I understand the 'why' behind it and the science around it. Yes, treating the symptoms is what most doctors do which makes things worse in the long run.
Thank!!!
I benefit from Every One of your Informational Videos Dr Eric. Thank You...
Still on the Planet!
You are the only doctor told who explains the illness properly,I really salute you doctor .🙏
The medical information available from this channel is amazing.
I started keto Sept. 6 2021. I have lost 15 lbs from today. Around 2 months. That is with cheating with sugar for a day twice and gaining 3 lbs back the next day! I'm 53 and in the end of menopause. I've never been able to loose wait this easily!
Thank you so much for sharing your wealth of knowledge in short sets. It is truly extremely helpful. Giving info to talk with our own Doctor. That's how useful and helpful your videos are to me.
All you write about is very helpful and most informative for all of us. Thank you
Broke my rt ankle 3 times in the past,am typev2 and am prone to heart failure...im glad i found this,now ill see the results after following your advice..Be posting an update un the future...
This is very encouraging. Thank you Dr Berg. For a few years my right ankle in particular became very large, especially at the end of the day. Having followed the principles of keto for about 4 years now, I have recently noticed that my swelling is very, very, limited indeed.
Did your ankle change colors
@@mst5158 What is the significance of a change of colour?
Ur knocking it out of the park I wish there were more doctors that actully cared about there patience and not just insurance check! Plus ur entire set up top to bottom flowless!
This year I just started getting swollen ankles and feet. It was really a wake up call for me. Your videos have helped me so much, and I've taken off 50 lbs doing IF 16:8 and low carb diet. I still have a long way to go, but it's great to have a plan that shows results.
This makes me sad. Grandma’s ankles were swollen and her doc had no idea why. This was probably 35-40 yrs ago. I bet she was low on potassium.
I’m 42 and I’ve had swollen ankles since I was 9yrs old and my father had them too, as an adult. I’ve struggled for years, mostly mentally but I have noticed that when I go on a no sugar, high veggie diet, they go down tremendously, but never all the way. I’m gonna increase my potassium and pray that works.
I had swelling in my right ankle twice, both times I fasted and went lower carbs. Problem resolved completely within one week. Nice to know science behind it.
Same happened to me after eating certain brands of bacon and chicken wings
Dear doctor,you are awesome! Thanks so much.You are a genuine health leather.
thanks for all the information you put out . best wishes from England uk
Thank you Dr Berg for all your advice.lost 8lb in 2 months and walking breathing and sleeping has improved considerably.
Dr. Berg - Thank you so much for that explanation. I live a very sedentary lifestyle since I work from home and hardly ever go out. Because of the pandemic I gained about 90 lbs that I had lost previously in 2018. Now my right ankle swells up at times and my left is fine, but has a tendency to swell up. I was diagnosed with fatty liver disease and im currently taking steps to reverse it. Thank you again for this explanation - I now have a better understanding and you have calmed my anxiety a bit. Thank you thank you.
THANKS DR. I HAD FOR 2WEEKS RIGHT ANKLE EDEMA WITH OUT SEEN YOUR VIDEO I DID DIET FOOD TODAY I FEEL BETTER
Very important topic beautifully taught. Thank you doctor!
Just to say I am so grateful for all the good advice you give so freely With the very bad situation try ING to see a doctor these days etc, You are a blessing I thank you sooooooooooo much I recommend you to all my friends and family YOU ARE ONE GOOD MAN thank you always from Dublin Ireland
Another bombshell video. This info could be life-saving.
You are the most genius doctor in my opinion. Thank you
🙏👏
Thank you Dr Berg. I wish I had a doctor like you that I could go to in my area.
Thanks a lot!!!! Sharing all you know helps taking conciense on our bodies.
Wow, thank you Dr. Berg💯. Ur knowledge knows no boundaries. Continued blessings🙏
You need to write a book. You are a wonderful encylopedia of knowledge. Thank you for all your videos.
Thank you again Dr Berg for all of your information and diagnostic videos. I have been IF and no sugar for 5 months now. Had leaky gut and edema for 1 to 2 years prior. I first used L glutamine and vit D3 to fix the leaky gut issue. Then IF and Keto brought me from 210 lbs to 185 lbs in about 3 months. I feel 20 to 30 years younger. I also started using boron to stop arthritis inflammation from a hip fracture repair 24 years ago. Blood pressure is returning to normal. All this from watching your videos. Thanks for adding years back to my life. I have seen many people die with these issues going undiagnosed for decades. Health adds so much to quality of life.
Also had a pain going through the repaired hip. On and off for years, it felt like a nerve on the front side of my left hip joint. I tried your trick of massaging the pancreas because that is where random left side spasms could be emanating from. It worked, also had some unusual spasms in the pancreas for a few weeks. No more ghost hip pain now.
My BP is slightly high 135/98 last year was 120/82 now have ankle swelling, Ive been overweight for 3 decades and have fatty liver, and have leaky gut, SIBO etc cause of taking PPI's for 27years, tried AVC and got more acid than ever so had to keep taking the PPI med, may I ask what do your meals look like so I can go Keto as well and lose that weight. I already started to reduce rice, pasta, potatoes etc, now eat salads and add olive oil and some chicken breast, beets help reduce BP, I eat liver friendly foods like broccoli, beet, dandelion, artichoke on the salads, but I dont have enough oil to get into ketosis, I do drink coffee and tea, apparently coffee can make this problem worse
Great testimony.
What's IF?
@@mrg466 intermittent fasting.
hundreds of doctors , you're one of the few I do listen to. Thanks you're very informative.
Thank you for your positive feedback!
WOW, great video, I've had edema in my left leg off and on for years, and always wanted to know WHY just my left leg,thank you so much
Thank you Dr. Berg, I have been dealing with swollen feet and ankles for over 25 years! I tried throughout the years for answers by my doctors. None that could correct my problem. I don't want meds I want to get to root of my problem. Unable to wear shoes, just sad way to live. I been a soda drinker for 40 years. I know sugar and my diet suck. I'm work on eating better and cut back on pop. Thank you for giving me insight on a problem that cause he to be depressed through the years. I prayed for answer thank God for sending you. Much success to you Dr Berg.🙏❤️
You've helped tremendously. Had swelling in both ankles. Started watching my potassium by way of lg salads or Potassium supplements, the swelling has stopped. Thanks to your vid on Vit B Complex, I've started taking that as well and the neuropathy in my legs has subsided. Appreciate all that you share & making your viewers aware of how to better take care of our bodies.
Which vit b complex u take and how much potassium every day is safe ? Also give name of potassium supplement
Good to know info. Thanks Dr Berg. Be blessed daily.
@@sadiabaig2399 Dr. Berg said in the video to have a large green salad daily. Also look up foods high in potassium.
When I need some quick advice about health issues, I always check you out for information
Wow Dr. Berg my older brother in Ohio just went through this and he had to go to the hospital and I'm going to tell him about this. Thanks this came when he needed it ❤.
My youngest has a server allergy to latex. Crocs might cause this if you have this allergy. Simple thing to check first. I love this Doctor! I have followed his advice for a year now he hasn’t disappointed me yet.❤
Thanks for explaining this so well I understand it better now I also think you should be rewarded with a 🏆 as you are one of the best Dr I have come across that really still care about people.
Excellent video Dr. 😊. Thanks
I am so glad I’ve seen this video I’ve been experiencing this for a year now. I’ve been to several doctors and no one can help me it is annoying and painful to be retaining fluid in one foot It never fully goes down.
I enjoyed your direct answers and explanations no one else has told me these things nor have I read them and I read a lot and I've been to a lot of doctors nothing gets done except the diuretics are offered statins or whatever I don't want to damage my body anymore than I have to so thank you for enlightening me
Thank you so much Dr. Appreciated ❤️🥰♥️
Thank you for sharing Dr.Berg . Appreciation.
These clips are so incredibly helpful and very generously shared. Thank you so much. "Eat your greens!!"
So well explained as usual.
Thanks for sharing Dr
Dr Berg you are a smart and realistic professional. I love your videos about health and how to get the source of every Unwellness and take care of them based on science. Thank you so much for being for us a universal doctor. ❤️❤️
My swelling was on the right ankle but when I started OMAD it really improved,four months down the line it's totally gone.
Thanks Dr Berg I learnt alot form you
What's OMAD?
@@deniseyoung4494 Eating just one meal a day
Are you still doing OMAD and how are you now?
My right food USED to be swollen. Possibly both a little, but mostly my right. But then I went keto and that and many other things that I didn't understand were miraculously cured.
How do you start keto
@@joprocter4573did you try keto
Thank you Dr Berg for The great Information. I appreciate you so much.
Thank you for the video report .
I decided after halfway through the first Covid year, I was at 208 lbs! and had some elevated blood pressure, to go on intermittent fasting (well started with a water fast, 5 days) and low carb, it worked, actuallly the first time, I have tried excersise, all kinds of diets, etc. been over 150 since my 2nd and last child, had really difficult fibroids, was anemic, had to have hysterectomy, which helped that...but had not been able to lose for years, now I have lost 29 lbs! and still working on it, just not as extreme on the low carb as I was, but still at least staying at 177-180 and trying to get down more, need to go more on the veg and low carb. but still, it has really helped a lot...I feel much better most of the time, still have some edema in ankles though, which I have had a long time, have had sprained ankles, and was told I have anterior tibial tendonitis from having a very high arch...so there is that.
My mom has a swollen right ankle, the doctor told her there is nothing wrong. I will be sending this off to her to view. Thanks Dr. berg.
I[m 68 ......if I need to know about something I am experiencing you are the go to guy..........Thanks
Dr Berg I’m so glad I came across your podcast a year ago because I’ve learned so much about my body I feel like a student I’m 73 I would say my health is stable nothing too brag about I would say my mobility is at a rate of about 70% now I’ve alway been a realist most of my life but I don’t need a doctor tell me I’m old cause that’s what it really boils down too I’m not naive which means I’m not go allow no doctor to fill me up prescription drugs two main ones was metformin and statins and becaue of your teachings I’m no longer a diabetic my A1C is 5.2 my pressure is normal138/82 and I’m forever grateful because I read everything you post it just hurts that it took over Twenty years for me to get where I am today and I’m eternally grateful I wish more Doctors were as candid as you’re to your viewers it would be a better place GOD BLESS and may God keep you and the family
My left leg hurts the most and both are swollen, I have a filter in the left which was installed after I had a stroke, I was fine before my stroke, now I have to use a walker 24/7. I was allowed to go to Lymphedema and wound care for a year about 5 years ago. Thank you Dr. Berg! Have a good day!
Love the information!
I appreciate your videos so much. I had breast cancer 7 years ago and have many problems since then. I seem to get no answers from the doctors and depend on you for the information I need to get better.😊
Have you considered German New Medicine for the information you need?
Good Morning Dr.Berg 🌞

Doc your input is always helpful, any topic is relatable necessary to what one is experiencing..I have a broken tibula and fibula causing enormous swelling and fluid pockets; now we're under doctor's care
Thanks Dr Berg. I've learned a lot from your videos. More greens is the answer. My mom had edema and I couldn't help as I didn't know the cause.
Great info, I've started to have some swelling on both sides and I'm going to try eating differently.
Exactly, Took my mother to the Physician Assistant at the VA and she gave us diuretics and sent us home. Both legs and feet were swollen. I left my Mom with the caregivers and the swelling would come and go. I returned to live with her for 6 months, changed diet and started walking with her every single day. Her legs are back to normal and I'm afraid to leave her again. Diabetes runs in our family I'll have that checked next, thanks to you!
Try pycnogenol and P5P and watch her symptoms disappear like magic 🙏🏿
Im 52 and my foot starting swelling at 16. Ive been too so many doctors snd this is the first time I've heard this!
I was hit with serious heart issues in my late 30s, and after being on CCBs for awhile I developed edema… in my right ankle. I was then put on diuretics, which helped for about two days. But they had me on them for quite awhile. Long story short… I’m no longer a participant in the ridiculous corporate health system now. I learned this about my edema myself while researching about a year ago… that it was being caused by my liver. I wish I would’ve known a lot sooner! Thank you for the confirmation.
How are you doing now
Every video we are getting the best advices & information
Excellent Timing, Accurate Analysis, Great Post : l
THANKS DR BERG...A LONG NIGHT TRYING TO RATIONALIZE MY CURRENT HEALTH CONCERN. STAY WELL.......................
Thanks Dr Berg - Think you've earned your PhD many times over Doc - much of what you've mentioned has helped me enormously on the path to better health that most GPs in my area don't even seem to care, much less 'understand' about, and as you say, they seem to prefer treating the symptom rather than the cause. I know I have a long way to go yet to iron things out, but I feel so much better than I've done the past decade. Thanks :) Do you know anyone in South Wales who can help further?
That's so weird! Most of my swelling it's always in my right ankle. Thanks!

Hi, I'm a type 1 diabetic. Currently have a soft tissue damage issue on my right foot which causes swelling but over night it goes back to normal after a few hours. Also I've torn a ligament on the outside of my right ankle. Sugars are within range. Any advice would be good. Great videos and great information 👌🏻
My potassium increase really made a difference in how I feel making my ankles and feet go down even more, its best I stick to the regiment; it's working better than anything else. Thank you for your accurate advice !!
Hello, how much potassium do you take a day [as a supplement]? Thank you 🙌
I had this in the past. It resolves totally once I got into fasting. Now I am on a 20/4 schedule 5 days a week and it works great for me. Thanks for all you do Dr Berg. Keep them coming!

Thank you Dr. Berg ! Love your channel
Thanks Dr Berg. Great insight in this discussion.
Most welcome! Glad you found it informative.
My swelling is in both ankles but mainly in my left. That’s the biggest. I know my problem tho. I’m overweight and have a sedentary job. Probably not getting the circulation I need and too many carbs still. I am working to correct it.
At least you are aware, that’s the first point…. so many ppl are happy to ignore.
Me too but I'm 85 and its harder to walk around with a cane!
GOOD LUCK WITH THAT. I'VE FOUND WALKING DAILY IS GREAT FOR YOUR BODY, IT GETS THE FLUID IN YOUR BODY TO MOVE AROUND. WALKING IS GOOD ALSO BECAUSE IT DOESN'T TEAR YOUR BODY UP LIKE RUNNING. I TRY TO WALK A MILE A DAY OR FOR TWENTY MINUTES. THANKS FOR SHARING EVERYONE AND DR. BERG ALSO! 🇺🇲♥️✌️👍

Just wanted to check in and keep you updated doc. So, a few months ago i went keto. And inflamation went away. So, i then started eating sugar again, had a bad day or 2., and it came back, so went keto again, sure enough it went away again.
