00:00 Intro
1:00 Berberine, myoinositol, and Metformin induced significant changes in waist circumference, body composition, and metabolic parameters.
1:15 Berberine may reduce cardiovascular disease risk greater than Metformin in PCOS patients.
3:30 Metformin, myoinositol and berberine can be used in combination.
5:45 Berberine group had a greater reduction in waist circumference.
7:11 Sex hormone binding globulin increased more in the berberine group.
7:20 Myoinositol group improved fasting insulin better than berberine and Metformin.
9:14 Lipid related parameters improved in all groups, with berberine having the greater improvement.
I have been using it for 2 months it’s amazing I have lost 18 pounds
Do you mean Berberine?
Thanks, Mike. I’ve been taking Berberine for about 4 months now. 500mg with lunch and 500mg with dinner and I’ll take another 500mg if I’ve indulged in any sweets, but this doesn’t happen often. I’ve noticed my cravings for sweets have drastically gone down. I’m just not as hungry or wanting to late night snack/binge or have seconds as much. My digestion has improved. I’m definitely happy with the results as it makes me better adhere to my clean eating routine.
I have been taking Berberine for about the same amount of time. I used to have a weakness for milk chocolate while finding it difficult to eat dark chocolate. Now it is the other way around.
Do you take it before, after or just at the start of the meal ? I find it lowers my blood sugar too much if I take it on an empty stomach and not eat anything after. Also taking it right after a meal does not have the same blood sugar lowering effects as it does when taken before a meal. At the same time they advise to take it on an empty stomach for the gut health effects.
This is very fascinating, thanks for sharing!
@@patrix1987 before or during, but if I forget, I’ll take it up to 15min or so after a meal. I don’t notice a blood surgery effect, but I’m not over weight or need to lose weight or anything. Just maintain and not over eat.
@@fabulouslyfit54 Thanks for the reply! I am normal weight as well, not looking to lose any. I do find it really helps when I take it before social events where I know the only foods available are very high carb or junk and I don't want to look picky.
I had my first pregnancy at age 34 and first miscarriage. Then four more miscarriages before giving birth at age 39. Spent a ton on fertility treatments. I was far from being overweight but my diet was high sugar. Not once was diet ever mentioned.
Hormone injections and IVF. After I could go no more and was considering surrogacy with a family member I became pregnant and had a healthy baby boy. I think Berberine and a change in diet would have changed my life. Young women try this first.
Thanks, Mike.
I just had my second miscarriage 2 weeks before mothers day. Doctors are a joke nowadays. They won't even help you until 3-4 losses and even then, they just want to sell you crazy expensive services instead of helping balance your hormones or something that can actually improve your life overall and get you pregnant again. I absolutely hate them now. They don't deserve the respect they demand.

Can you take Berberine AND inositol?
@@HH-gv8mx Yes, as do many who have PCOS do
Thank you for sharing not only knowledge but passion !! 💪🏼🙌🏼
This is so incredibly helpful! Thanks, Mike!!!
Thanks, Mike! That is great information.
Wonderful information, thank you!
Thank you for wonderful videos always. Thank you! 🙌🏼
Wow, this video is great. I’m 26 & just got diagnosed with PCOS last week. Surprisingly, my doctor didn’t recommend Metformin! She recommended Myoinositol, told me to reduce my carbohydrate intake, and do low intensity workouts. I’m definitely going to try Berberine as well! Thanks!! ❤️
Strength train. Don't do "cardio".
@@aliendroneservices6621 thanks, I’ve read that strength training is best. Gonna do more of it.
@@GrandmaGiGithat's a very interesting link.

Wise advice!! I’ve also heard of many doing the carnivore diet overcoming PCOS.
I have been managing PCOS with heavy lifting, keto and carnivore, and my blood work and PCOS symptoms are reversing. Supplementation is a third order mitigation step; important but not as important as weight lifting and removing carbs. Hope my positive experience helps you.
Love your content!
Ive been taking Berberine for about 6 weeks, 1gram a day, split up to 3 times a day. I've noticed bloating has gone down, my appetite has gone down. I dont crave sweets like I was before. And it actually dropped my total cholesterol, my bad cholesterol. My good cholesterol stayed the same and my triglycerides were better too. I've been very surprised. I have thought about upping what im taking by adding 1 extra per day, 4 times instead of 3.
What supplement company do you buy from?
Inositol takes a while to really work but I was amazed at how it changed how I store fat and how slim I am now. I have been eating low carb for 2 years but my body composition really changed in the past 3months. I'm so glad that you are vulgarising all these studies. Thank you
incredible, thank you! i understand it with my brain, i hope one day my stomach will follow it too ..
Appreciate you!!
Thanks so much!
Thank you!
That’s funny I have PCOS and I just both Inositol and Berberine Yesterday. Thank you Mike 😊
Berberin's effect is multidisciplinary because it affects the microbiome and lots of people have sibo while they don't even know it. However, people should watch it because Berberin also acts as blood coagulant. Watch for how much you take and also watch that there is no conflict with other drugs you take.
More female videos pls!
Go carnivore.
Thank you ❤
Thanks Mike.
thank you❤
Do a video on how to best use inositol and berberine.
Just started berberine last week. Can't wait for the journey. I should have started a few months ago when i found out about it. Thanks for the info.🙏🏽❤️
I've just started berberine too. Good luck 👍
I’ve been taking Berberine for a few weeks now. I’m 60ish and exercise for 45-60 minutes every day. I’ve been on a 90-95% unprocessed foods diet for a year now and have lost 67 lbs. My weight loss slowed dramatically when I had only twelve lbs to go. I stayed at the same weight for two months. Common issue, right? But after taking Berberine for a month, the scale started to move and I lost seven lbs. in the last two weeks. I wasn’t expecting that to happen. I’m not unhappy about the loss but it happened so rapidly that I was taken by surprise. There might be something to Berberine after all.
My wife suffers from PCOS, as alot of women do. Please put out more info on PCOS treatments or studies!
Dr. Baker has interviews with people reversing PCOS using carnivore.
@JennifertxCarnivore I've seen some things he's put out but sadly she isn't in a position to try and take on carnivore. We struggle with keto. Thank you so much for the suggestion.
@@freddieclark8463 she may change her mind since PCOS can lead to other things like cancers.
@@freddieclark8463 Can she try to do heavy weight exercise and low carb? This combination alone without supplements will do wonders as it did for my sister who had no access to supplements.
@@JennifertxCarnivorewhat type of cancer will PCOS lead too? Lost a son at 35. to stomach cancer very rare for someone his age. He received amazing care even drugs from Europe that was made available then trials at top research institutes. Both my daughters have PCOS what should l be looking for ????
I started taking Berberine for fasting thanks to you and noticed it cured my pmdd!
Thank you so much for all you do! You are really making a positive difference in so many.
Wow this is amazing, thanks for sharing!
@@Highintensityhealth Im not sure if you know much about PMDD but it is such a horrible disorder that many drs try to treat with antidepressants or birth control. If that doesn’t work they basically write you off as looney tunes and tell you that you must have childhood trauma.
The correlation there is just infuriating to me.
Pmdd at its worst causes suicidal ideation. Many women are getting their ovaries removed to escape the up and down life threatening cycle. It’s truly horrific.
I am so grateful to finally have an answer and a way to treat myself. I did a little research and found Berberine can help with neurological issues too. Maybe that is why it helps pmdd? It’s a kick in the ovaries and an uppercut to the brain. 😂
Can you tell me what your dosing regimen is, I think my 31 yo daughter has PMDD and I would like to suggest that she try berberine
Thanks to you I decided to take berberine for fasting & found it life changing. I have been able to do rolling 3-5 day fasts without any issues on an empty stomach. I do have more than 80 lbs to lose but it has been amazing & yes effective.
Thank you. You have changed my life.
What is the difference in Myoxience Pure Berberine and Berberine Accelerator? Been on your website and not sure which I need.
Thank you for this info! I’ve been reading in Berberine.. so you said you take it if your not wanting to eat bread etc when your out to dinner.. does it work instantly? I was thinking it took a while to absorb into the body?
I've been using myoinositol for some weeks now and was thinking of introducing berberine. Is it ok to use both at the same time?
You're berberine is the best! I was taking another brand and my A1C wouldn't budge. After taking yours my nurse practitioner asked what I was doing different because I went from a 5.8 to a 5.4. Your formula was all that I had switched! Needless to say, I signed up for the subscription!
That's amazing news, thanks for letting us know!
To those new to carnivore- Carnivore diet cured so much for me! I update this list as time passes so it is always up to date, newest items at bottom of list. I have been zero carb carnivore for 1 year this Sept. And yes, carnivore is a permanent lifestyle for me!
* No more perimenopause- completely reversed!
*Period cycles all timed perfect with 4 week intervals.And no PMS symptoms, but only the actual menstrual cycle itself!
*No more night sweats
*No more waking every 2 hours at night!
*It used to take me 20 minutes or longer to fall asleep at night when I would first go to bed at night- before carnivore. Now it takes like a minute or less. Haven’t noticed since I am out fast!
*No more life long eczema
*No more cold hands (may have been Reynold’s disease, never diagnosed.)
*No more cold body temp in general! Used to feel like a reptile - only warm in texas sun. (may have been Raynaud’s disease, never diagnosed.)
*No more IBS symptoms (gas, bloating, stomach pain, constipation, diarrhea)
*No more feeling low energy by 12pm and zombie by 4pm
*No more purple looking hands in winter (may have been Raynaud’s disease, never diagnosed.)
*No more brain fog
*No more arthritis that I felt in hands, knees, and hips- or elbows
*used to have sore hips when sleeping on my side. No more!
*Lost 45+ pounds from former baby weight and peri menopause weight.
*Always had 20/20 vision with slight stigmatism- but in March doctor said my stigmatism is reversing!
*Don’t sunburn as easily anymore and tan well.
*Wrinkles around eyes seem to be much less. I am 46 and look like I am in early 30’s.
*Gums look super healthy. Dentist seems irritated as my teeth are not dirty when cleaning every six months. Think they know they won’t make money off me.
*No more sore chest from monthly periods- no swelling feeling of fullness or discomfort that prevented me from sleeping on my stomach. Now I sleep every night on my stomach!
*Fibrocystic Breast issues reversing! Almost all gone after 6 years of buildup!
*no cravings unless they are for meat
*no more angina symptoms before a period- which started about 3 years ago.
*No more feeling weak like almost passing out and dizzy around ovulation and periods when walking around.
* no more fingers swelling- that started a few years ago- rings kept being tight- is pattern I noticed. One ring I had resized larger and it’s super loose now. Will have to resize smaller.
*feel stronger- now lifting barbells not just hands weights. Dr. Baker said since I am 46, and 5’7” at 122lbs- need more resistance training to add more muscle weight. . So bought a 47lb barbell off Amazon and have 40 extra pounds added to it. Will continue to progress with that.
*Before carnivore- i had started growing grey hairs in one of my eyebrows, few hairs at a time, but no grey in my blonde hair yet - but assumed it was coming. Now on carnivore I have had no new grey hairs growing in eye brows and still no grey hair in my natural blonde hair. And in the sun it gets super light highlights.
* no more body odor!
* I used to get a little anxiety with large crowds- like if attending special events- but since on carnivore I don’t get it that much.
*I was a bit OCD before carnivore, but so much more relaxed so barely like that.
* I was a relaxed person before, but somehow am even more relaxed and never stress about things.
*Since I was a young child my sense of smell has been terrible. But not even a month in on carnivore my sense of smell has gone crazy! I smell things even far away! Amazing!
*no more allergies! I was allergic to cedar and oak pollens- and mold- but since carnivore I am no longer reacting to those outdoor pollens which is amazing!
* I have had no more issues from ear wax build up. Had it twice after having kids and docs would say it was a hormonal problem. Carnivore cured that too!
*Veins in my arms look healthier. They were almost invisible before.
*Legs no longer hurt on longer road trips or plane rides!
*I used to get a popping sounds in my right shoulder when lifting weights. Was probably a pulled ligament. That is now gone!
*I have been lactose intolerant since I was a kid, and I feel my nails are a bit stronger than before. They do break if I catch them on things but I feel they are getting stronger on carnivore.
*My teeth look more white on carnivore.
*My blood pressure has improved on carnivore. 6 years before carnivore up to starting carnivore my blood pressure was increasing. Now on carnivore it is back to normal like when I was younger. Last reading it was 100/75 which is awesome!
*i used to get eye twitches in my eye lids, but that is gone.
* at times when trying to fall asleep I would close my eyes and at times felt dizzy like falling feeling or spinning. But haven’t has that since I have been on carnivore for 12 months.
*the skin on the heals of my feet are no longer cracked and dry! (Newest update added!)
*when laying still in bed to fall asleep at times I would feel dizzy or feel like I was falling through the mattress a bit. I would be laying still and get that suddenly. Felt weird and made it hard to fall asleep. Never diagnosed with vertigo, but it may have been that. I no longer have that since I have been carnivore, which is nice!
*little leak from sneezing or coughing that ladies get from estrogen dominance is gone on carnivore! Hormones balanced so no more estrogen dominance!
*The top inner corner of both my larger toes have felt a little numb for years. Never had it diagnosed. But being 1 year on carnivore I no longer feel that numbness! My nerves have healed in that spot on both toes! Crazy!
If I think of anything else will add. ☺️👍🏻
I know when people go on carnivore they are trying to heal something, but if they aren’t like me and notice small things- they may not notice they are healing way more than they realized- things plant foods were causing! And they need to remember, processed foods are made from plants- but so are whole foods (raw or cooked!) they are all toxic!
The carnivore diet cures! ☺️👌🏻 The body is a network made of multiple gears- and if one gets messed up it causes a whole domino affect of problems like I had! The carnivore lifestyle is not a fad, it’s the ancestral human way of eating! Go Carnivore for a few months and see how you feel! ☺️👍🏻
Perhaps. Carnivore 4 years. All the above seemed to occur but then year 3 cramps, fasciitis got worse and weight loss stopped. In 6 months time energy was less. Eventually I ate useless carbs and yoyo’d on and off carnivore discipline. Struggling to get back now and severe cramping is crippling me.
@@roadhousepress tell us how you did your carnivore diet and can give you pointers.
What do you eat? I've been carnivorish for about 6 months but I'm finding it increasingly hard to eat enough food as I get more strict. Any ideas?
@@flyingfox3296 i eat fatty meats. When your body gets close to it’s optimal weight you do need to make sure you are eating 2-3 meals, at least one larger one and fatty meats! Steer clear of lean meats.
Thanks for sharing. Glad to see all that got reversed, what a mess before that
Great content, Mike. Is there any chance you would consider doing a video about methylene blue? The studies are extensive in its effectiveness in treating COVID, neurodegenerative disease, and aging skin. I’d love to hear your take and breakdown of the info. Thanks!
This might get him in trouble with YT
Mike, what do you think about type 1 diabetics and berberine? I've looked and looked and cannot find any research. I'm just wondering if there is a risk for those on an insulin pump with fast acting insulin and then adding berberine. I'm type 1 and have been wanting to try but worried about low glucose. Do not want medical advice, looking for studies and information. Thanks!
I'm have just bought the Myoxcience Berberine and looking forward to seeing what happens. I don't really struggle with cravings however I do have a slow metabolism and I have to work super hard not to put weight on - TRF, 100% clean, low carb whole foods organic diet and a good amount of exercise - still haven't reached my target weight.
Carnivore helps too
Sweet potatoes are high in Potassium which also reduces sugar cravings, and blood pressure issues. Cinnamon has a similar but not quite as effective as Metformin, so I eat lots of it, not to mention that I LOVE the taste.
Regular potatoes seem to have 50% MORE potassium than sweet potatoes, or about 80% more than most meats
Those have loads of oxalates that cause health problems. Carnivores stops unhealthy food cravings.
@@JennifertxCarnivoreAre you just gonna put the same thing under every comment?
@@defeqel6537 regular potatoes trigger a sugar spike, if not consumed reheated after being allowed to cool, or with a tablespoon of vinegar. Sweet potatoes do not trigger a sugar spike.
@@awizenwoman both have about the same amount of glucose, so I don't really see why one would cause a blood glucose spike and the other not, I guess sweet potatoes have slightly more fiber, but hardly enough to make much of a difference
Off topic, but a study just published yesterday (9/20) appears to show that plain old creatine is effective at treating several presumed symptoms of long covid. I wonder if it could similarly help with some adverse reactions to the experimental injection. It would be interesting to hear Mike's analysis of the study.
When do you take it? Before meals or after?
At night?
Can you take Berberine AND inositol? 500 mg of berberine per day. Usually with my last meal at dinner. But I’m considering taking.Inositol to help regulate my menstrual cycle and to help with sleep. My sister also said it helps with weight loss. Is it OK to take both of them?
Great
Did you not link to the study?
Is taking berberine a problem with Leiden Factor 5 positive people? I did purchase your recommendation of berberine fasting accelerator HCL with ALA and biotin (from your site.) thank you
If only a brand made an enteric coating of some kind, it always makes my stomach cramp up even when I take it with food
Berberine is awesome❤ it works
Thoughts on Berberine on gut dysbiosis & SIBO? Might one experience some die-off symptoms / herxheimer reaction? If so, how proceed? Thanks!
I read that berberine is great for the gut. Initially with any change you will have gut changes. But keep going. Studies that Dr Berg mentions on his page said it takes a minimum of 6 months to see changes.
Just started berberine ..
you said 500mg x2 daily is low .. what is a good dose ?
I have been taking barbering for a year but recently found out that it can kill some good gut microbes. Can you do an in-depth about this? Thanks for your podcasts
interesting. Yea he ought to go over it.
Interesting as many people are reporting better gut health...
that doesnt make sense, berberine actually improved gut health, there are no studies showing otherwise.
Inositol best taken at night b/c it helps with sleep
Do all of ya´ll take Dehydroberberine or berberine hydrochloride? Whats the difference?
What if i´m slim thick BMI 22, gained 17,6-19,8 lbs within last Year? Cortisol spikes and , always cravings and hirsutism on my chinn, folicular cyst but no pcos, no insulin resistance....would Berberin be helpful for me?
Hi, Mike. I started taking Thorne berberine 500mg about two weeks ago for a total of six days first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. I was fasting 24 hours every other day. I'm not very overweight, and I could see a clear reduction of my waistline. The problem is that I was getting very uncomfortable lower abdominal aching with too many bowel movements. I had to stop. It took about four days to recover. I'm wondering if others have experienced this and if a lower dose would work better.
Take care t with food.
Anyone who has taken Berberine with positive results, can you share which brand and dosage and when? There are so many brands like 😮
Berberine and SuperBerberine 🤔
What about the berberine constipation when you have chronic diverticulitis.

Does Berberine interact with Ca- AKG?

does berberine need to be cycled on/off? if so, how long should it be taken before taking a break and how long should the break be?
Try the carnivore diet instead. It’s a human ancestral way of eating.
@@JennifertxCarnivore i don't have gut issues and that's the only conceivable reason i can see (temporarily) doing something like that.
@@cstephens16 it heals all illnesses, diseases, and cancers. It is not just for the gut. The human body can tollerate plant based foods and drinks for only so long. But eventually the plant toxins build up and cause all the illnesses, diseases, and cancers of today that continue to escalate with people on a heavy plant based lean to no meat diet. Eating carnivore reverses all the natural plant toxins cause.
A friend of mine recommended I take Perfect Aminos as a protein supplement without calories... What are your thoughts on this? Perhaps you could discuss more about ways to increase protein without adding extra bulk in a future video? I am also curious about the timing of certain supplements. Would I benefit from taking berberine if I'm aiming for muscle hypertrophy and gains? Would lowering my blood sugar have any effect on muscle building, or are they completely unrelated activities? I believe protein does promote insulin levels. More info on this is greatly appreciated! Thank you for your awesome information.
Have you tried taking them yet?
Perfect Aminos have been very helpful for my husband and I. It's been a month of taking them, and we both noticed aches and pains after working out or a day of hard labor (he's in construction) are greatly reduced.

I wonder how berberine impacts SHBG in men...?
my-inositol vs maca root for Hormonal balance?
Your hormones are thrown off if you are eating only plant based or plant based lean chicken breast! Go low carb keto then carnivore. Humans have been fooled to eat heavy plant based- it ruins human hormones. Watch Belinda Fattke on the heavy plant based “food” pyramid scam. It was secretly designed on a religion, not science based at all! Then go watch Dr. Sally Norton and Dr. Chaffee on natural plant toxins.
You can’t take plant supplements as it is only trying to treat a symptom, not stopping what causes it! The best way is to remove plants and see what happens! Plants cause all the mess!
I definitely lost weight on 1500mg, but had period irregularities and hair loss. did anyone have this?
Male here 43, TRT for 5 years. Berberine raise SHBG in men too???
Been on Berberine for about 4 weeks 2x500mg and loose (yellow) stools. Tried 1x500mg too, almost no difference. Will it get better?
🌶🌶🌶Just a heads up, Berberine is in the NIGHTSHADE family - #AIP
Yep- anyone that doesn’t understand that- Watch Dr. Sally Norton with Dr. Chaffee on natural plant toxins!
Is berberine available for non-diabetics? Half-assed keto has cost me about 100 lbs. and the loss of my pre-diabetes diagnosis.
It is, it is a supplement :)
LOL, Why are u complaining for?
I hope someone will guide me
Should young people go for Berberine too ? I’m nearly 100 kgs on my way to loose weight I was super lazy but taking nac I have noticed that I’m much more productive and do my cardio in time n crazy for less junk food too I want to give a shot to berberine as it will work on my waist to hip ratio to make it smaller of course I will do the exercise and proper diet I do have slight hypertension cause if being over weight dr said he will get me off of it once loose weight just kindly let me know you all should I start berberine if so than how much per day in mg ?
My father was a herbalist and he used Berberine in small doses and not regularly. Not sure why but be cautious about using it regularly.
I've been taking berberine for years. I don't and never have noticed anything. No impact on appetite or weight. Maybe my cholesterol since that's always good. But I also lift, run, eat keto and IF. So idk. Is it something I should cycle on and off of to remain effective? I also always take it with food, should i take it on empty?
Continual use of berberine can impact cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes in the liver which may affect drug-to-drug interactions. Therefore, it's recommended to use it in a pulsed 8-week cycle with two to four weeks off, then starting again if symptoms have not resolved.
Not recommended for long term use
Berberine Inhibits Telomerase Activity. What's ur take on that ?
What’s your take?
I missed that part 😢. Glad I read the comments. I hope that means it keeps them from getting shorter

He is trying to sell his s...shilling to naive. Yep! Berberine or Metformin are rapid agers. It is only for diabetics helpfu; either legs cut off or aging fast or dying from stroke. I guess would prefer 2nd and 3rd.
Telomerase is complex...Berberine appears to have favorable impacts on cell health in this context: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.2147/CMAR.S242329
Can you take Berberine if you are on a blood thinner ??
No
Interesting, I've been taking berberine since the new year and I've noticed absolutely nothing different
Edited to add: i had my blood work done recently, my cholesterol is highest its ever been, high LDL, high ratio. Triglycerides were good
You have to take it with meal and milk thistle not every day
@@user-xv5sn9gn5n What does milk thistle do?
Metformin is much cheaper than Berberine out of pocket. Not to mention many supplements lack quality control. Rolling the dice even if you happen to find a supplement company that does their own “independent 3rd party ingredient testing”. Most health insurance’s will cover metformin. I went on metformin for longevity purposes. My GP didn’t blink an eye and wrote the script for me. Also, just need to make sure one takes enough Vit B12 since Metformin tends to deplete it.
Slowing down your listening speed of the video might help.
curious why? Asking bc I did not notice any problem
Not sure it’s for me , I still crave something sweet straight after eating. Makes me feel bloated, gas and feel a little unwell. No fat loss. I’ll give it a few more weeks
Try to start with the lowest/lower dose as it looks to affect your guts (bacteria in your guts)
I wish I could take berberine…I’ve tried lots of brands, even yours, and I get really sick, vomiting,,,
Can these help men without diabetes?
If they are insulin resistance or Diabetic, yes. You can find that info here on YT
❤❤❤❤😊
I'm confused as to why rice powder / rice flour / cellulose powder is necessary as ingredients in these products.
Wouldn't they spike BG and insulin because of their high GI carb content?
Would it be as beneficial for a post menopausal woman with no PCOS to take these compounds?
Thank you for reporting on this!
It isn't necessary, but it is cheap to use a filler. That is all there is to it. It takes some time to find a product without these... and often impossible.
Yes,it is good for menopausal women as explained by this health trainer, here ua-cam.com/video/tPHMmJtOvQg/v-deo.html
I wanted this to work for me but 1/2 capsule made me almost vomit 🤢 I felt sick for several hours even though I took it with food.
Wouldn’t taking both metformin and berberine be harmful? Kinda like taking more than one kind of cold medicine at the same time.
I think the idea is take reduced dosages of each. Start out with far less than you think you will need, and gradually increase the dosages until they are perfect.
They appear to work differently...not suggesting everyone takes both. Just something to consider if someone has lots of metabolic health-related improvements to make.
Metformin depletes certain necessities in your body
necessities means what
@@KJB0001 COQ10 for a start
I hear you...B12 and folate are important to add when it comes to long-term metformin use.

Isn't metformin bad in the sense they've realized the weight loss is actually reduced bone density and muscle mass? Or am i thinking of a different weight loss drug?
With belly fat you mean, subcutaneous or visceral?
Both bc both fats work together.
I tried berberine, but it gave me chest pains. Can you explain why that would happen? Thanks
I've tried it several times and each time, the next day after taking the first dose, I start to get lower back and front pain, feels like it's almost in my ovaries sometimes. There are side effects to berberine for some people and they can't take it.

It sounds like a great product, but unfortunately I always seem to fall into the rare category. Thanks 🙏 for your reply.
I was just reading that you shouldn't take this on a low carb keto diet because berberine could cause your insulin to rise instead?
This is not true.
How much Berberine should one take per day?
Most studies look at 500 mg to 750 mg in the evening
I take 500 mg with each meal. Usually twice per day.

I have berberine in a powder.... definitely going to figure out the measurement needed. The bag says 1/5 tsp
@@lakelizard8145same here. It bothers my stomach if I don't eat with it.
@@ladyfarrier5949Dangerous to have a drug this powerful in powder form. See: *_chubbyemu_*
Metformin made me sick. Diet and exercise reversed my PCOS.
It gave me gall bladder attacks.
Metformin is the devil.
Especially carnivore diet! Dr. Kiltz likes to say PCOS is Plant Causing Ovarian Sickness! It’s plants that cause that!
Interesting...I've heard that from others.
@@Highintensityhealth stay away from Metformin! Do carnivore! Talk to Dr. Kiltz a fertility specialist on PCOS! He calls it “plant causing Ovarian Sickness” which ia true! He has live sessions at 4am CST during the week, daily!
I am telling you I have the herb, and it is one of the most difficult things I've ever consumed. The herbalist told me you steep a small amount of it and drink it like tea. But the bitterness is unprecedented. I wonder if I should just powderise it and put it in capsules to consume it, but I wonder if it is even safe because it is so concentrated in such small amounts. It's so, SO bitter. And I can take a LOT, so that's saying something. So please beware.
If you want to get the herb, go to a Chinese herb store, and say Huang Lian (黄连). Say both words with the "Hmm?" Increase in pitch. If you are in Asia, this is everywhere. Plus, it's natural.
I need to start my berberine routine again. If only it were not so hard to drink. Oh my god it's so bitter.
It’s bitter because it is toxic. Trust your body when you get reaction like that. Plants are naturally toxic. Broccoli alone has over 100 natural toxins ruining everyone’s thyroid and hormones. Watch Dr. Chaffee with Dr. Sally Norton!
Bitters are good for the body. Most ppl take in pill forms. Maybe yea works better???🤔
@@RedNicole22 bitter is not good. Taste buds let us know what is safe to eat. Sugars and sour and bitter isn’t good- all toxic
Can you do like all the many Chinese using it?
@@JennifertxCarnivore You are talking rubbish since. Chinese medicine uses balancing all the (5) tastes to prescribe herbal meds.
Please, stop being a "know it all." Stick to what you know for sure., as giving false/made up info is dangerous to others. Thanks
According to several clinical trials, Berberine has very poor absorption without sodium caprate. I don’t deny the benefits but wonder how it could work with such poor absorption.
Berberine works as a probiotic more than anything, it has shown to vastly improve the microbiome.
What with Allopath trying to find only one molecule to cure all ailments for all regardless of the cause.
What really helps the night cravings is not smoking weed 😂
Go carnivore
@JennifertxCarnivore lol no.
It is a undisputed physiological fact that saturated fat increases intestinal dysbiosis, which is essentially the root cause of almost every disease (inflammation).
Additionally, carni do not consume grains, which is literally the antidote to the known cancerous ezyme that meat produces (TMAO)
( for reference, the final statement is in regards to the SCFA and other enzymes produced by the gut bacteria that primarily consume grain fiber)
Plants all the way. Polyphenols, antioxidants, variety of short chain fatty Acids, diverse microbiome, phytonutrients, etc
There is a time and place to go low carb, but it is short term and for a specific group of people.
@@kaylaharrop7639 you are incorrect! Do some research glycobiology
That was a lie on meat causing cancer.
Plants are anti nutrient and not bio available.
The world has been fed false info. Watch Belinda Fattke on truth behind why the world is eating so many plants. Then watcg Dr. Chaffee and Dr. Sally Norton on natural plant toxins.
If the world is eating 85%- 100% plant based and little to no lean meat (chicken breast) then why are the illnesses, diseases, and cancer rates continuing to escalate?? It’s the natural plant toxins! Broccoli alone has over 100 plant toxins!
Go watch Dr. Baker’s interviews with people healing all illnesses, diseases, and cancers. Go write them with your questions!
@JennifertxCarnivore love that you just tell me I'm wrong and then have nothing to back up your statement other than "watch a doc".
it's been established at 11% of adults eat the appropriate (and under recommended) amount of vegetables a day.
Anything that comes out of a box precooked, ordered at a restaurant, plant based meats, etc is not what I'm talking about. WHOLE foods.
Go read literally anything on saturated fat and intestinal dysbiosis instead of simply watching videos. Data can be interpreted manipulativly ot fit an agenda (i.e 1 out of 5 babies born are Chinese, therefore if you have 5 babies one will be Chinese).
That being said, all I can do is inform you that yes, we have been massively lied to in terms of good food and good health, but you're not 100% there yet. But keep going! Don't stop looking for answers.
Also side note for plant broc 100x poisons, what insane carnivore youribe are you quoting? But seriously, think about it for a single second - where ya think animals get their food? You think that if there are 100x poison whatever on broccoli that it is not on the food fed to all animals? Majority of GMO soy and corn that are grown, and over 80% of the antibiotics made a year, are fed to animals.
Unless you're buying only grass fed, you're still eating poison, homie.
Only buying grass fed? Awesome for you for being so financially well off, but you're still challenging your oral tolerance which will eventually fail
I will not be responding again
what a load of gibberish@@kaylaharrop7639
This has me thinking wouldnt berberine also be very synergistic with a good fiber source? You get the probiotic benefits that berberine does in the gut while also clearing out bad cholesterol with fiber and increasing the good bacteria at the same time, So I would love to test out taking Glucomannan with berberine. Seems like a no brainer.
If you lower the ability of your liver to produce blood sugar you inadvertently reduce your liver’s ability to convert stored fat and fructose to blood sugar.
So while it works to lower your blood sugar it does not reverse your Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver and Visceral fat.
Ultimately we must have a healthy liver for metabolic health.
Fasting, exercise and low carb will do this.
Just walking will move Blood Sugar to muscles. Spend 6 months working to 5 miles per day. Maybe you need 12 months… We don’t have rules.
While I agree that exercise and walking is critically important, the herb has been shown to help all aspects of metabolic health. I'd suggest doing more research
Just walking is not enough for PCOS women. They need heavy weight lifting and very low carbohydrate diet. Also many of them are chronically low on iron, and iodine.
have chronic fatty liver while eating almost nothing, and bleeding profusely every 28 days for at least 5-10 days. So, please, refrain from using maybe...
How about my giant stomach? 🤣
